Chapter 72: Untitled
After attending the drinking party in Washington, Li Kaiyuan returned to Hong Kong very much, and Shen Chong went to New York to continue to make money on various investments, not because he lost interest in movies as the outside world speculated, but because he loved movies too much, he had to hide in the United States, forcing himself to suspend his actions in the film industry, so that Hong Kong, Taiwan and the mainland had time to digest the various influences he caused in 1980 - the film industry in 1980 was like a small pond, and he was a big whale, If you move a little, you can stir up the waves, and if you don't stop it, those small fish and shrimp will die sooner or later.

A medium-investment "Die Hard" shook the entire industrial system, if you make another big investment, how will next year's Academy Awards be opened? If Oriental Charm wraps up all the awards, what is the point of the Academy Awards?
It takes time for the growth of talents, it also takes time for the cultivation of the market, and it takes even more time for the opening up of the mainland, so Shen Chong can only tie his hands, abolish his martial arts, and make waves in the United States, which is more than 3 trillion US dollars, and the volume is huge, so he can make trouble at will, without worrying about the life or death of others, and he does not have to worry about the butterfly effect fanning too much.
On Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, there is a skyscraper called the Olympic Games, built in 1976 by Aristotle, a Greek ship king. Onassis Development, designed by the renowned SOM Architects, is one of the most sought-after mixed-use high-end developments in New York with a view of St. Patrick's Cathedral and Rockefeller Center.
Shen Chong bought a sea-view villa in Los Angeles last year, and also bought a viewing house here as a foothold on the East Coast of the United States, but he was in a hurry, running around the world, and rarely stayed in, so it was very deserted, until he came to live for two months in September, which gave the empty mansion some human flavor.
"Mr. Shen, it's time to eat."
"Okay, I'll be right here."
Shen Chong stuffed a few folders into the drawer, then stood up, walked out of the study, and saw four dishes and one soup on the table in the living room, full of color, flavor, and flavor, so he said with a smile: "Sister Xiaoyue is a good craft, I am fortunate to have you these days, otherwise I would starve to death in New York." ”
A few months ago, the Chinese government sent a group of elites from various industries to the United States to study advanced knowledge, Wu Xiaoyue was supposed to go to the University of Chicago to study economics, but she used Shen Chong's connections to transfer to Columbia University in New York, and used her spare time to intern at Shen Chong's private investment company to accumulate work experience.
"I can only cook some home-cooked food, and if Mr. Shen gets tired of eating, I won't have any tricks."
"In a foreign country, the hometown food is the most delicious, even scrambled eggs with tomatoes, I can eat them for months." Shen Chong took a bottle of wine out of the wine cabinet, and said while pouring the wine: "Sister Xiaoyue, don't be so polite, we are friends after work, Wu Ziming and I are brothers, you are his sister, just call me Xiao Shen or Ah Chong." ”
Wu Xiaoyue just smiled implicitly and did not respond.
"Sister Xiaoyue is still used to living in New York, right?"
"It's okay, I like it here, the pace of life and work is very fast, there is endless work to be done every day, not like in China where I have nothing to do all day."
"I heard that the country sent you to study in the United States for two years this time, and after two years, do you plan to stay in the United States or return to China? If you want to stay in the U.S., I can arrange it for you. ”
"No, I'm going to return to China in two years."
Her resolute and decisive answer surprised Shen Chong, "I heard Ning Ning say that Sister Xiaoyue not only resigned in order to come to the United States, but also divorced her marriage, I thought you planned to immigrate to the United States." ”
"Ning Ning is really a little gossip woman, and she even told you about such trivial things." Wu Xiaoyue smiled a little self-deprecatingly and explained: "I resigned because I couldn't get used to the bullshit in the unit, and divorce because I couldn't get used to the squirming men who only played with birds and walked dogs every day, and it had nothing to do with immigration." ”
"Then why did Sister Xiaoyue return to China? The conditions in the United States are better than those in China, and I heard that there are many people in the country who plan to immigrate here. ”
"If you just want to live a good life, it's really good to stay in the United States, but in addition to life, I also want to do some business, the social environment in the United States is too stable, and there is racial discrimination, there is limited space for development, there are many things to be done in the country, Mr. Shen, don't you also go to the mainland to come to the United States?"
Interesting......
This is a very ambitious and discerning woman......
"What kind of big things is Sister Xiaoyue going to do when she returns to China?"
"I don't know yet." Wu Xiaoyue picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "Why don't you teach me Mr. Shen?" The gap between China and the United States is too big, I have never heard of many things before, I have been in the United States for almost half a year, and I still haven't even found the basic research direction. ”
Wu Xiaoyue's appearance is very atmospheric, in the words of the ancients, that is, the face is like a silver plate, the eyes are like apricots, and when she smiles, she is full of roundness and grace that only mature women have, and there is a dignified but sultry style, which makes Shen Chong's heart skip a beat, he took a sip of slightly cool wine, and then said: "I think with the deepening of reform and opening up, many state-owned enterprises in China may go bankrupt or reorganize, you might as well pay more attention to the knowledge of corporate mergers and acquisitions and asset restructuring." ”
"I also have this idea, the last time Mr. Shen was at Boeing, he mentioned the acquisition and restructuring of Kaiser Industrial Group, I wonder if you can let me see it?"
"Kaiser Industries has basically settled the dust, and now there are only some inconsequential finishing touches left, so let's do it, I am preparing a new acquisition plan recently, if you are interested, you can participate in the whole process, I think this acquisition may be more valuable."
"yes, what are you going to buy this time?"
"Eat first, and I'll take you to a movie after eating, and explain while watching."
"What movie?"
"Heaven's Gate, last year's Oscar-winning director Michael Cimino's new work, which is said to have invested $35 million, was released just a few days ago."
That's right, "Heaven's Gate", a super masterpiece that Shen Chong has been waiting for for nearly a year, was released on November 19, 1980, with an investment of $35 million, and finally only received $4.2 million at the box office, the loss was unbearable, United Arts was originally the weakest of the eight major Hollywood film companies, one has no independent distribution channels, two has no big boss support, and three has no blood transfusion from peripheral industries. Rocky" and the rights to the 007 series of movies, each of which is a hen that lays golden eggs.
