The remaining ten hours of the flight was quite safe, so that Xu Guanwu finally slept peacefully. When I woke up again, the plane was already over the United States.

After getting off the plane, Xu Guanwu and his wife found the pick-up staff who had been waiting there for a long time.

Paul, the manager of the Stanley angel investment fund, got the news in advance and specially sent someone to pick him up at the airport and take Xu Guanwu and his wife to book the Haode Hotel.

The Stanley Angel Investment Fund was founded by Xu Guanwu last year, and is responsible for everything he does in the United States, such as the income from his shares in National Entertainment, the income from film rights represented by 21st Century Fox, and the equity income of CAA managers, etc., and is also responsible for investing the money in the high-tech industry in Silicon Valley.

The Stanley Angel Investment Fund has to report its performance to Stanley Market Research every month and quarter, and Stanley Market Research Company reports directly to Xu Guanwu. Under layers of control, to ensure that no profit is lost.

The young man in charge of picking up the airport was very alert, and his mouth was also very strict, except for answering Xu Guanwu's questions along the way, he didn't say a word the rest of the time, and even his eyes just looked at the road, which made Xu Guanwu feel very satisfied.

When I came to the hotel, there were naturally people to help me check in, and Xu Guanwu and his wife didn't have to take care of it themselves.

After helping to take care of everything, the staff member in charge of picking up the plane got up and said goodbye, "Boss, Mr. Baoluo wants to ask you when it is appropriate to report to you." ”

"Let him work with peace of mind, and he won't have to come over yet. After the awards ceremony, I'll make a special trip to Silicon Valley. Xu Guanwu waved his hand and said.

The staff member nodded and stepped back respectfully.

Xu Guanwu walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and took a long breath, "It's better to be down-to-earth to feel at ease." ”

"Ah Wu, the Golden Globe Awards ceremony will not be held until the day after tomorrow. Do you have any arrangements for tomorrow? Zhao Yazhi asked while packing her luggage.

"Why don't you just go and disturb Lei Shidong, and then take a look at Richard. Zaniuk and David. BROWN, THEN GO TO CAA MANAGERS FOR A WALK, AND THEN GO AND SAY HELLO TO STALLONE. Xu Guanwu crossed his fingers and calculated, and then he came to his senses and hurriedly put down his hand, "You can do these things after the Golden Globe Awards, Ah Zhi, do you have another jihua tomorrow?" ”

"I want to go to Sunset Boulevard to buy clothes, can you come with me tomorrow?" Zhao Yazhi looked at Xu Guanwudao with straight eyes.

"Uh...... Isn't there a lot of boutiques in Hong Kong now, and you can find almost all of Shijie's designer clothes. And it's all the latest, so why bother...... Oh, I'm going to go tomorrow, so I'll rest early tonight. Xu Guanwu thought of accompanying Zhao Yazhi to shop and his legs began to turn tendons, and he instinctively refused. But halfway through the words, he found his wife's murderous eyes, so he hurriedly changed his words.

"Actually, it's not like I want to shop anymore. It was Sister Siqi and Sister Quan who knew that I was coming. Said that it was cheap to buy clothes here, and asked me to help them bring some brand-name goods back. Zhao Yazhi waved her hand and explained.

"Well, since you promised someone, let's go together tomorrow." Xu Guanwu nodded, "But next time, don't agree to them, we came to the United States to do things." It's not a seven-day shopping trip to the United States. ”

"It's just a little favor, if I refuse, how will we play together in the future?" Zhao Yazhi glanced at Xu Guanwu and said.

……

Because of the time difference, Xu Guanwu was baking cakes all night. I can't fall asleep tossing and turning. On the contrary, Zhao Yazhi is used to being a flight attendant, she often flies around in the sky, and because the actor is used to turning day and night upside down, she falls asleep after lying in bed for a while.

The next morning, Zhao Yazhi finished breakfast in high spirits, pulled Xu Guanwu, who yawned and had two panda eyes in the sky, and went to Hollywood Sunset Boulevard to go shopping.

"Wife, can you forgive me, I'm sleepy to death, okay?" For fear of being laughed at, Xu Guanwute brought a toad glass.

"I've got sleeping pills ready for my luggage, who told you not to eat it yourself." Zhao Yazhi said angrily, "Since you promised me yesterday, don't think about slipping away today." ”

"Where did you put the sleeping pills, I tried to find them yesterday, but I didn't find them for a long time." Xu Guanwu asked.

"It's the dark compartment on the top of the suitcase, wake me up if you can't find it. If only I could help you find it. Zhao Yazhi said.

"I'm not afraid of waking you up to sleep, it's really good to be kind." Xu Guanwu was depressed.

……

Head to Nikko Boulevard, which is full of boutique clothing stores selling designer clothes from all over Shijie, and each store has a star wall with photos of all the Hollywood stars who have ever shopped. So many celebrities look at you together, which seems to say, "Come in and buy a dress to wear, and you will become as famous as we are." ”

Zhao Yazhi walked over with great interest and picked up her clothes under the courteous reception of the clerk. Xu Guanwu yawned and sat on the sofa, at first he was still holding on to watch his wife choose clothes, but then he couldn't bear it anymore, so he simply closed his eyes and yawned.

I don't know how long it has been, Xu Guanwu suddenly felt a pain, and when he opened his eyes, he saw his wife looking at him angrily.

"What are you doing?!" Xu Guanwu asked in a daze.

"Let you buy a dress with me, you sit here and sleep, hum!" Zhao Yazhi said angrily.

Xu Guanwu quickly rubbed his face with his hand and refreshed, "Ah, the one you have in your hand is very good!" Okay, just buy this one, right? He pointed to the piece in Zhao Yazhi's hand and said happily.

"Buy your head, I don't like this one the most." Zhao Yazhi threw away her clothes and directly covered Xu Guanwu's head.

"Haha......" was just as he was talking, when suddenly someone next to him laughed.

Xu Guanwu took off his clothes, glared at him with a displeased face, and saw a black man standing there, maybe seventeen or eighteen years old or twenty or thirty years old, it would be difficult to tell clearly in terms of skin color, but his eyes were still very clear, and he should not be very old.

"I'm sorry." Seeing Xu Guanwu's displeased face, the black man hurriedly walked to the side.

Xu Guanwu pursed his lips, "Then which one do you choose, just buy it quickly." After buying it, I hurried back to the hotel to sleep. I'm going to be trapped. ”

"If you want to be beautiful, come and choose clothes with me, and don't doze off again." Zhao Yazhi dragged Xu Guanwu over.

"Why do you ask my opinion, you also know my aesthetic vision." Xu Guanwu muttered.

"I just know your aesthetic vision, that's why I asked you to come over and help choose." Zhao Yazhi smiled, "In this way, they won't look more beautiful than me when they wear the clothes you chose." ”

Xu Guanwu was almost overwhelmed, and he admired his wife's scheming too much.

After carefully selecting a batch of clothes with his wife, Xu Guanwu was finally liberated, and what made him feel strange was that the black guy seemed to be quite interested in the couple. Although he was also choosing clothes, his eyes seemed to float over intentionally or unintentionally, which made Xu Guanwu feel unhappy for a while.

After the big blood, Zhao Yazhi was like a victorious general, holding her head high and being majestic. followed by Xu Guanwu as if he was her prey. Yawning with two panda eyes.

"Ah Wu, did you find out just now? It looks like someone was staring at us just now. Zhao Yazhi said suddenly.

"Of course. It's that black man. Xu Guanwu waved his hand, "Don't worry about him, this is Hollywood, one of the safest cities in the United States, and there will be no violence." ”

"Oh, that's good. But why does he keep looking at us? Zhao Yazhi asked worriedly.

"Maybe I've never seen a Chinese woman as beautiful as you." Xu Guanwu said with a smile.

"Poor mouth." Zhao Yazhi smiled, "Okay, seeing that your mouth is so sweet like honey, let you go back to the hotel to sleep." ”

"Great." Xu Guanwu suddenly jumped three feet high.

……

Return to the hotel. Xu Guanwu didn't sleep for long, it turned out that he didn't look for anyone to look for him, Lei Shidong heard the news of Xu Guanwu's arrival in the United States, and stared at him in the office for a long time without seeing him visit, and couldn't help but be a little unable to suppress the excitement in his heart, and ran to the hotel to find Xu Guanwu in person.

"My dear Xu, how are you now?" As soon as they met, Lei Shidong hugged a bear and greeted happily.

"Xiexie, you ask me, I'm okay. But if you're two hours late, I'll be better. Xu Guanwu yawned, "Why did you think of running to the hotel to see me?" ”

"I don't want to meet my biggest partner in business, my most trusted helper in my business, my dearest promise." Lei Shidong said with a smile.

"Stop, the more you listen, the more numb you become." Xu Guanwu shivered and said, "How have you been in the last six months, what is new?" ”

"There's not much new, but we now have 300 theaters under National Entertainment." Lei Shidong said proudly.

Xu Guanwu swallowed a mouthful of tea halfway through, and almost rushed up, "How much?!" ”

"Three hundred, more than seven hundred screens." Lei Shidong said with a smile, "We are now the third largest cinema chain in the United States. ”

"Wow." Xu Guanwu couldn't help but open his mouth wide, if he remembered correctly, there were only more than 100 theaters and more than 400 screens in National Entertainment last year. Now, in only half a year, it has more than doubled, which is an astonishing speed.

"Although this move has also led to an increase in the company's debt ratio, I still think it is very worthwhile." Lei Shidong said with a smile, "In the future, I plan to continue to expand and become the largest cinema chain in the United States." ”

Xu Guanwu was very happy at first glance, and then couldn't help frowning, "You said that the debt ratio has increased? ”

"Yes, because I want to expand rapidly, I have mortgaged many of my theaters to banks for loans." Lei Shidong nodded and said, "Originally, the other shareholders were against it, but with you firmly supporting me behind the scenes, the two of us have the majority of voting rights, so their opposition votes are invalid." ”

"When did I stand behind you?" The more Xu Guanwu listened, the more confused he became.

"Don't you listen to me for everything except for the most important incidents?" Lei Shidong glanced at him and said reproachfully.

"Oh, that's true." Xu Guanwu suddenly realized, remembering that when he first invested in the National Entertainment Company, in order to dispel Lei Shidong's concerns, Xu Guanwu promised that he would not participate in the company's operation casually.

Of course, this "casual" is not an accurate word, so many times it needs to be considered.

Xu Guanwu is not against Lei Shidong's expansion of territory, to be honest, the bigger the national entertainment company for him, the bigger the better. However, Xu Guanwu also opposes blind expansion, especially in the 70s, when the film market was sluggish, and many big film companies were on the verge of bankruptcy, and they were unsustainable. These theater operators downstream are even more miserable, and they are also living in dire straits.

There weren't many commercially successful films like "Rocky," "Jaws," and "One Flew Over the Asylum" in the seventies.

After the rapid expansion, if there are no good films and blockbuster films, those movie theaters that could have made profits will become a big burden, overwhelming people. And the bank will become a vicious vampire, pinning people to the ground and skinning them. (To be continued......)
