"How? I mean, does it look fit? Galen asked, half-yawning, looking at himself in the floor-to-ceiling mirror.

"You don't know how many times you've worn a suit, you can tell if it fits at a glance, right?" Neil replied with a smile next to him, "Men's suits don't have many patterns like women's evening dresses, no matter how they change, you can feel them as long as you wear them." ”

"But this time it was made to order in Cannes, and although it is said that the French are very sensitive to fashion, this is not Paris after all." Galen grunted and spun around in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror.

"I said before, I can buy you a cabinet of clothes." Sean's half-joking, half-serious voice came.

"There's no need, Sean, there's no need for that." Galen shook his head, "I don't wear it every day. ”

"Okay, guys, don't you understand?" Sanders laughed from the side, "Even though his girlfriend didn't come along, he could be seen on TV or in news pictures." ”

"Oh?!" Sean and Neil immediately dragged their voices, and Galen rolled his eyes and stopped talking.

Seeing this, Sean also changed the subject: "Speaking of which, what do you think of my thoughts, how about buying a plane?" ”

"Which one do you want to buy?" Sanders then asked, "Airbus 380?" ”

As I said before, in the case of similar leasing and purchase costs, then the selection of aircraft models must be the main reason, and Sanders also knows Sean very well, so he asked directly.

"Sounds good, but didn't this model make its maiden flight last year? If you want to put it into use, you can't do it this year, right? Sean thought for a moment, then shook his head.

"That's still the Boeing 747," Galen naturally wants to support this kind of thing, "Although it is said that the Airbus 380 will surpass the 747 to become the largest passenger aircraft in the world, but until it is officially put into service, the 747 will always be the largest, isn't it?" ”

"You guys want Sean to buy a big plane?" Neil interjected, "Then it's better to just buy Spruce Goose and transform it, Sean has played Hughes anyway." "Do you really think that the thing that has already entered the museum can fly after the transformation?" Startled, Sean jokingly asked, "Or do you have any proposals, Neil?" ”

"The Boeing 737 is not bad, there are close to 100 seats, there are more than 100 or even 200 seats," Neil said seriously, "I really don't think you're going to go after a big plane, the Gulfstream class of private jets is actually very good." ”

Sean blinked, took the test for a few seconds, and then grinned, "Okay, I'll think about it." ”

Neil understands that while momentum is good on all fronts, Google's stock price is skyrocketing, and Sean has made a condition when he quits the board that his stake should be diluted more slowly.

The development momentum on the production company's side is also good, although the power is further diluted by the board of directors, Sean's words still carry some weight, and he is involved in many high-profit productions. As long as he continues, after the release of Tang Pictures' "Twilight" and a bumper harvest, he can basically delegate power and maintain influence.

Then, Facebook and YouTube are still fermenting, because of Sean's participation, the former's active users are about to break 10 million, so they are very confident to reject Yahoo's investment of nearly $1 billion, and the social kingdom is about to take shape.

And the latter, has now embarked on a completely different path of development, with Sean's support, Neil is completely letting go, users are growing at a geometric rate, faster than Facebook, after all, the degree of getting started is simpler, the videos uploaded by netizens themselves are increasing every day, and a new type of communication has been officially displayed in front of traditional media.

Then, when WB and UPN announced their merger in early May, Neil also began to tentatively engage with major TV stations. However, he didn't show too much urgency, just communicated a little, and then stopped asking.

"Are you really calm? It is important to know that there are already countless investors or funds who want to buy shares. Sean had asked him that in a half-joking tone before.

So far, all the funding for YouTube still comes from Sean, in other words, he is eating alone, and in the United States, where the operation of capital is already very perfect, this behavior will be strongly resisted.

So, Neil initially suggested that his money be diverted out of the bank, and through a series of channels, in the name of various bag companies or funds, to make YouTube look like it had received a lot of investment, until it came into contact with the big four TV stations — soon the big five — and the media conglomerates behind them.

However, this trick can be covered up for a while, but it can't be covered up for a lifetime, and if it is discovered before reaching an agreement with several major media groups, then it will definitely fall into passivity.

But Neil is confident in himself, his previous investment firm is quite good, and he knows Wall Street's tactics very well.

"Look, even though reality isn't exactly what we blueprinted, I'll do it, I promise." That's what Neil said, and he looked confident and assured.

Since this is the case, Sean will not say more, this kind of thing is naturally to be handled by professionals, and since it is handed over to professionals, it is necessary to give trust.

Well, back to the beginning, although all these investments of his are in good shape, there is not much money at his disposal - this is not much for the purchase of aircraft.

If you just buy a regular Gulfstream type aircraft, it is not much different from the cost of leasing an aircraft, it is nothing more than turning the rental into a purchase and maintenance cost. But if you want to buy other models as aircraft, such as the Airbus 380 that has not yet been officially put into operation, or the new model of the Boeing 747, it will cost a lot, and the purchase cost alone will cost one or two hundred million.

Such a price, even if it is paid in installments, Sean still has to weigh it now. In a few years, this would be nothing, but now it's a burden.

Although the income from the production company and the filming is a lot, there are also a lot of various expenses after paying taxes, not to mention that there are women and children to support. Facebook and YouTube, although they are developing well, are essentially burning money, and Google does not pay dividends, although it is not that he cannot take out the money, but there is no need for that.

That's what Neil wanted to say, but didn't say, and Sean felt that his opinion made sense, so he took it. However, in this way, the yacht may be able to change to a more luxurious one.

Just then, there was a knock on the door, and Frederick immediately walked into the room: "Are you ready, guys, there are a lot of media coming to the premiere tonight, and our big star is going to shine again." ”

He smiled and hugged Sean, and then squeezed his eyes at him again: "Especially with Kate?" Blanchett stood together. ”

"Looks like you've got the topic ready for me, huh?" Sean asked quietly, looking at him with a stern gaze that hid his sternness.

"Of course not," Frederick laughed at once, "I'm just giving an example, that's all." ”

Just then Galen's voice interjected: "Speaking of which, did you thank Ms. Blanchett in person, Sean?" ”

"This ...... I have already said it in private when I was on the crew of "Babel", "Sean Leng paused for a few seconds, glanced at the agent who was secretly relieved, and then spread his hands, "As for being in front of many people, but not yet, you also know that my reputation is not very good." ”

"That's right, you have to bring that little assistant wherever you go now, and even came to Cannes, to be honest, have you already taken a fancy to her." Neil quipped, and several people pricked up their ears, especially Frederick.

"Why," Sean sighed, "I don't have anything to do with my assistant, it's easy to confuse feelings and work, and then affect each other, and eventually lead to a lot of problems." ”

"Really?" Several people immediately asked in long voices, including the agent.

Sean immediately rolled his eyes and came again, obviously he was telling the truth, but they didn't believe it, it was really annoying.

There was a knock on the door again, and this time it was Emma who came in, wearing a black thin-shouldered dress and a narrow skirt, but she was still very beautiful.

"Hey guys, are you ready, it's time to go." She said so, and nodded to Frederick as if she had said hello.

However, she was quickly startled, for Galen and the others were all looking at her with meaningful eyes, as if they wanted to see something good, which made her a little nervous and inexplicable.

"Okay, we know what to do," Sean replied, then waved at them, "Why don't you go down first, go down the hall and see if the car is coming." ”

"I've been waiting outside, I just confirmed it again." Emma answered completely subconsciously.

Suddenly, Galen's expression became even more weird, looking at her with a smile, only Frederick, who looked serious and serious, as if none of these in front of him existed.

"Very well, let's go down together." It took several seconds for Sean to say this after a dry cough.

"That's right, yes, let's go down together, I'll go ahead." Neil shouted first, then smiled and picked up his coat as he walked back on.

"Let's go, let's go." Galen shrugged and followed him.

Sanders didn't speak, patted Sean on the shoulder, and became the third, Frederick originally had something to say, but looked at Sean and Emma, spread his hands, and followed.

"They...... What's going on? Emma couldn't help but ask.

"Nothing, malicious speculation that I've become accustomed to." Sean scratched his head, then waved his hand, "Let's go down too, you just said that the time is almost up, right?" ”

After a pause, he looked at her and raised his hand to do something, but eventually put it down, "Frankly, you're beautiful tonight, Emma." ”

"Thank you." Emma rolled her eyes, apparently not appreciating much.

Sean had no choice but to ask, "You really don't plan to enter through the main entrance with us?" ”
