Chapter 1225: Screening
The four young men were stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
Fei Lilu smiled: "Haha, uncle, do you want to show that you are rich in front of your young girlfriend?" We won't watch half the movie, and you bet on us to watch one. Okay, in order to show that you have money in front of your beautiful girlfriend, we bet. ”
Guo Zhuocheng continued: "I still bet, after you finish watching this movie, you will definitely rush out to find a public phone, call your classmates and friends, and call them to watch, bet or not?" ”
The four young men burst out laughing.
Maria said, "Uncle, if you weren't a man, maybe I'd believe it, but you're a man, and you can't be a witch." ”
Guo continued: "I'm still betting that each of you will be willing to give me another ten dollars when the time comes, as long as I can help you find a nearby public telephone for you." ”
Fei Lilu's boyfriend looked at Guo Zhuocheng suspiciously and asked, "Sir, are you sure this movie is really so good?" ......, you've seen this movie before. ”
Guo Zhuocheng looked at each other with a smile and said, "Did you see a business opportunity?" If yes, then I really congratulate you. If you want to act, I can provide you with seed funds to do angel investments in you. Excuse me, do you want to do business? ”
The young man was surprised and asked, "Really?" How much can you offer? ......, I'm sorry, I'm so excited, my name is Paul, Paul Wittman. ”
Guo Humble Cheng replied: "My name is Guo, Humble Cheng - Guo." I can invest five hundred dollars, plus the one hundred dollars I bet with you, for a total of six hundred dollars. ......, but you have to think about it, my $600 has to be 45 percent of the shares. ”
Maria smiled: "Hehe, do you really think you have won?" If we don't even want to watch this one. How much do you pay us? ”
Guo Shucheng nodded and said, "Of course." If I'm not sure I'll win the hundred, then there's no need for me to invest the five hundred. If you see half of it and slip away, I'll pay you two hundred dollars. If you decide not to watch the next one, I'll pay you a hundred dollars. ......By the way, lad, no, Mr. Paul, have you thought about it? ”
Paul's girlfriend Fei Lilu said to her boyfriend, "Paul. Do you really want to make money? He is Chinese, and he must have listened to what we just said belittling the Chinese. You're not going to be moved by him, are you? I can tell you, if you think about making money while you have a tryst with me, I won't be your girlfriend. ......, who knows if he lied to you. Do you really think he's going to give you five hundred dollars? ”
Paul glanced at his girlfriend in embarrassment, and then at Guo Zhuocheng.
Guo made a shrug gesture, indicating that it was up to him to decide.
He grabbed Fei Lilu's hand and asked Guo Chengcheng, "Guo, are you sure you didn't make this move because you heard our evaluation of China?" Just bully us? If so, I'm sorry to you, we really don't know about China. If our rhetoric offends China. I apologize to you. ”
Guo Shucheng said: "No. Although I am not satisfied with your assessment of China, it is not entirely your fault, it is actually your government that does not let you know much about China. This is the Iron Curtain, do you know the Iron Curtain? This is the word that British Prime Minister Winston Churchill said in his speech entitled "Pillars of Peace" at Westminster College, Fulton City, Missouri, United States. To hell with these political matters. I don't want you to think about that.
......, I made this investment decision simply because I was bullish on you, Paul, and I was bullish on your business acumen. Of course. If you don't act, it's just that I'm wrong. Five hundred dollars I'm ready. Paul, what about you? ”
As he spoke, he asked Princess Madeleine, "Honey, did you bring five hundred dollars?" ”
Princess Madeleine smiled, took out five banknotes from the small bag she was carrying, handed them to Guo Zhuocheng, and said, "I also hope you haven't looked away." But, my dear, isn't it too cruel for us to do this, they are trysts now, is it necessary to make money? ”
Guo Shucheng took the five hundred dollars handed by Princess Madeleine, said thank you, and then looked at Fei Lilu and said, "Girl, do you really love him?" So why not take an adventure with him, maybe it will surprise you and be more exciting than a simple tryst. Sometimes, life is all about adventure. ”
Fei Lilu watched in surprise as Guo Zhuocheng took the money from Princess Madeleine and asked, "You take her money?" ”
Guo Zhuocheng smiled and asked, "She's my girlfriend, can't she?" Doesn't that mean I'm bullish on this investment? ”
Paul affirmed, "Guo, I've decided, I'm going to do it." You can own forty-five percent of the shares. ”
Fei Lilu asked Guo Zhuocheng: "Have you really seen this movie?" Is it really awesome? ”
Guo Shucheng nodded and said, "It's not just that I've seen it. With that, he turned to Paul and said, "Mr. Paul, now that you and I are business partners, I think I can propose a proposal." You can use the money now to go out and buy a lot of napkins to ship in and sell them when the movie is almost over. After making money, buy more napkins and sell them at the entrance, and the theater will probably not let you in and sell them at that time. Because there will be a lot of spectators in the next show. ”
Seeing Paul take the banknote, Fei Lilu asked, "Mr. Guo, what if our business fails?" We can't afford to lose that much money. ”
Guo Zhuocheng smiled: "If it fails, our company will go bankrupt." The rest of the assets will either be auctioned off or split directly according to shares, and you may even get a bunch of napkins to go home. Still, you wish us success, after all, taking a bunch of napkins home is far from carrying a bag of dollars to go home, dollars can buy napkins at any time, and napkins for dollars are hard, isn't it? ”
Fei Lilu pursed her lips and said, "Okay, I believe you once." After saying that, he immediately raised his hand and waved at Maria, "Maria, I'm sorry, I'm going to make money with my boyfriend." You know, he really needs money right now. This is a risk-free opportunity, and if I don't support him, I may lose the most precious thing. Good bye! ”
Watching Paul and Felilu leave, Maria and her boyfriend looked at each other and said, "They were deceived by this Chinese like this?" ”
They looked at the smiling Guo Zhuocheng and Princess Madeleine suspiciously, and then found a seat not far away and sat down, but the bodies of the two were not as snuggled together as before, but separated by a distance, and the two whispered something, looking at Guo Zhuocheng and them from time to time.
Guo Zhuocheng and the two were very pleased to watch Paul and Fei Lilu leave.
Princess Madeleine said, "It's finally good, I'm really worried about breaking them apart." ”
Guo Shucheng nodded and said, "Me too." ”
She asked, "Are you sure they're really going to make it tonight?" ”
Guo Zhuocheng said: "It should be the beginning of their careers, and perhaps, they will become business tycoons because of this." Of course, you may also become your leader, and then we will make a lot of money, hehe. I hope they won't let you or me down. ”
During this time, a number of people came in one after another. Although there are still too few people compared to the huge screening hall, you can see the figure from every direction instead of the empty seats of the blockbuster.
It has to be said that Americans are repulsive to foreign films, and although the IIC company did a lot of advertising for "The Sinking of the Petrel", there are still not many audiences.
Seeing Guo Zhuocheng looking around, Princess Madeleine smiled and said, "My dear, I'm more worried. Maybe it's just that our theater is a little deserted, and it's still a bit far from the city center. ”
For the sake of safety and not to attract the attention of others, Guo Zhuocheng chose to stay in a hotel far away from the downtown area. He knew that he was a thorn in the eyes of some people in the United States, especially the American fire businessman who wanted to get rid of it quickly, even if he put on makeup and used a fake name, he didn't dare to be too careless, and he didn't want to pay too much for his happiness in the past two days.
Guo Zhuocheng didn't speak, looked at the watch on his wrist, and said, "It's going to be screened soon." You should have tissues ready so that they don't stain your clothes. ”
Princess Madeleine pursed her lips and said, "If you want to stain it, you will also stain it, so that I will not wipe my own clothes." ”
The lights on the ceiling slowly dimmed, and the couples who were chattering finally closed their mouths and looked at the Maple Leaf film distribution company's logo - Maple Leaf, which appeared on the screen.
Soon, a huge primeval forest appeared on the screen, and the spectacular and bright scenery was shot from a helicopter, overlooking a large field of green at the feet and a few eagles hovering not far away, which calmed the audience's heart.
Soon the poor and free and easy protagonist appeared, he took the audience into an ancient village, the local people are full of curiosity and friendliness about this yellow-haired guy from the United States, and the protagonist answers again and again that he is an American, from the United States, that helpless and tired countless answers, Na Ying and the simple thing he just learned is particularly awkward, so that the audience can not help but laugh.
There was laughter in the screening room. Soon, the movie immediately substituted the audience's heart into the protagonist, and the audience began to follow the protagonist's gaze at the tribe full of mysteries.
Suddenly, a beautiful girl in modern attire blocks the protagonist's path, and the other party's fluent English not only makes the protagonist feel like the rain has passed the sun, but also the audience has a sense of relief.
There was a sound of "whew" in the screening room, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
