Chapter 1003: Man Under the Eaves (Part I)
The long dark mountain road twists and turns, stretching along the snow-white headlights, or turning into the nearby woods, but I don't know how far ahead it is.
Why did the bustling downtown Los Angeles suddenly enter the primeval forest?
Karen Mutter, who was sitting in the car, felt that the tall tree shadow outside the car window looked like a black monster rushing towards her, and couldn't help but lean into her grandson's arms. She has accompanied Sun Ziming to participate in many private parties between big people, but she has never been to such a strange place. Of course, Karen never thought that her boyfriend would cause others to lose billions of dollars, and the other party would take the initiative to ask for reconciliation instead of launching crazy revenge.
Sun Ziming also found the place a little weird, but he looked down on Los Angeles from the sky when he made the movie, and knew that it was a large forest in the downtown Bunker Hill area. He used to think it was a nature reserve, but he didn't expect it to be private territory. Damn, no wonder others say that it takes three generations to cultivate a real nobleman! I have enough money, but when will I be able to carve out a forest as a private estate in the middle of a busy city like this?
However, as for the purpose of Tino and Shantino looking for themselves today, Sun Ziming guessed a few points. The Light and Shadow Group is about to go public again, and these vultures are eyeing the fat of stock issuance, so they put aside the last thing first.
The lights in the extended Lincoln are green, which illuminates the faces a little blue, and with the bright and dark cigars and cigarettes, the atmosphere is a little weird.
Tino, who has always been good at adjusting the atmosphere, took out three small bottles of 'Soviet Red Card' vodka from the wine cabinet, stuffed the bottles to Sun Ziming, and joked: "Ming, you reacted fast enough, dozens of reporters didn't block Karen." ”
Sun Ziming took the wine bottle and jokingly said while twisting the cap: "Tino, if I were you, I would never mention this." ”
"Hey, don't mention it? If you're dumber than me, then didn't I offend Santino? ”
This white man is direct, Sun Zi Mingchong was squeezing his eyebrows with Tino, and he gave a little thumb to him, and then took a sip of wine from the glass bottle that was a little awkward. Well, the chilled vodka is slightly viscous, and the wine spreads after entering the mouth, like wine and brandy, with a mellow taste, and when you enter the stomach, you will suddenly feel the heat flow all over the body.
"Good wine!"
Sun Ziming's alcohol consumption is not very good, but his appreciation of wine is definitely top-notch. With a long exhalation, Sun Ziming handed Karen, the rough frosted vial in his hand, and encouraged: "Taste, it's stronger than the gin you brought from home last time, and the taste is lighter and refreshing." ”
"Hmm", Karen took the vial and drank more than half of it in one sip, and only a little bit of the bottom of the bottle was left in two sips, so she handed it back to him, and said with concern: "Drink less, you still have something to do tomorrow." ”
Alexander, who was drinking red wine with Julia, looked at the small wine bottle in Tino's hand, and then looked at Sun Ziming's hand, and quipped: "Ming, your influence on the people next to you is really great, and Karen was not so suspicious in the past." ”
'Hahaha', Sun Ziming snorted, drank the vodka in the small bottle, got up and took a bottle of mineral water, unscrewed it and handed it to Karen, laughing at himself: "Alexander, we are different from you, you are powerful people with deep roots, and we are new immigrants with shallow roots." ”
Julia, who has been beside Shantino and has not spoken, is no longer the graceful beauty she was more than ten years ago, but her words are sharper than before.
"Just like the Europeans killed the Indians, the new immigrants?"
Julia's words were full of laughter, but it was really not a joke in the sentence, and the atmosphere in the car, which was just a little bit better, suddenly became depressed again.
Sun Ziming didn't think it was a joke, but thought it was a deliberate truth, and it was the resentment of the loser. However, Sun Ziming is not interested in talking to a woman who is useless, this woman claims to be the brainchild of Shantino, but she makes her good faint tricks frequently, and it can be seen that her head is full of mush.
"Shantino, let's go straight, what do you want?"
Shantino didn't bother to answer Sun Ziming's words, but his fat face was a little hideous in the turquoise light, and Tino said very sincerely: "Ming, we value interests very much, but we also cherish friendship. ”
Sun Ziming nodded, last time Tino delayed time at a critical moment, so that his private life was not exposed, and he avoided a lot of troubles. Even if it was Shantino, strictly speaking, he didn't want to deliberately put himself together last time, but it was only because he was too anxious or overconfident that he was tricked by himself.
Tino, who temporarily invited Sun Ziming, saw that he nodded in agreement with his statement, so he continued: "Ming, Shantino, I think that everything should be communicated more, and everything should be looked forward, what do you think?" ”
It doesn't matter, the attitude of the winner is always a little higher.
Sun Ziming took the empty wine bottle and motioned to Tino and Shantino: "I think so too. Let's put it this way, we've known each other for ten years, and according to our Chinese, we're old friends.
I'm sorry about what happened last time, because you touched my bottom line. Just like Tino likes to fly planes, I only like to make movies, so you can't touch the studio. ”
Shantino, who has not been humming, just poured wine into his mouth, and treated Sun Ziming's words as a fart at all! A good plan to make a fortune made this bastard mixed up, and he also made himself lose hundreds of millions, how can it be something that can be gently let go by saying a few good words? Shit, I really didn't expect this guy to be so far-sighted and make hundreds of billions of dollars using the Internet bubble. If the FBI hadn't been staring at him, everyone would have thought that this was an alternative film director!
Tino, who has always wanted to be a peacemaker, didn't know that his old friend knew a lot of things he didn't know, and when he saw Shantino like this, he knew that if Sun Ziming didn't give some compensation, it would be difficult to be good.
"Ok, Ming, how's that website going?"
Sun Ziming looked at the ghost-like Shantino, and after going around for so long, he still took a fancy to that project? Hmph, this Tino didn't even show his words, so he directly pulled this guy to find him, and it seems that there is suspicion between them.
'Hehe', Sun Ziming laughed twice, threw the small glass bottle in his hand to the side, and joked: "You intend to buy shares?" Tino, AOL's business scope is similar to ours, and its market value has fallen from 160 billion to more than 40 billion. ”
At this time, orange street lights have appeared outside the car window. From a distance, at the end of the orange light is a manor hidden among the ancient trees, which stands brightly in the night of the forest like a dream.
Tino also laughed twice, avoiding Sun Ziming's jokes, but pointed to the manor outside the car window, and said with a smile: "Ming, how is the environment here?" ”
"Beautiful, my house is a bungalow compared to this! Hey, Tino, if there is a house like this for sale in the future, remember to sue me. ”
The grandson glanced at the manor outside the car window, secretly praised the style, and made a joke. Gossip magazines always select what rich lists, how do they know how many real rich people in the world are actually far from the public eye. In the center of Los Angeles, where every inch of land is at a premium, how much money and power does it take to preserve a primeval forest and build such a magnificent estate?
