Sophie after removing makeup and bathing is more real, she and Li Kangping are lying side by side on the bed, she said emotionally: "Kangping, I really fall in love with you, love is getting deeper and deeper, and I can't extricate myself!" You have made all my senses disappear, and only one thought remains, the mind that surrounds me for the thrill of wild joy, and there is a fierce and passionate trust in me that you have brought to me. My dear, this is not Sophie Buffalo's movie line, but the reason why Sophie Salamaman loves Camping deeply. ”

"Sophie, you can always trust me, and I will always love you."

Li Kangping watched his girlfriend fall asleep peacefully, he came to the living room lightly and smoked another cigar.

After the crossing, Li Kangping stayed in the United States for almost three years.

Li Kangping found that he had adapted to life in the United States to a high degree, more so than he had in his previous life as an exchange student at UCLA.

Li Kangping sighed softly, he opened the curtains, looked in the direction of the east in the night, and the farthest as far as his eyes could see was a church, and the church rang the bell on the hour.

The next evening, the Retiro Carlton Hotel.

Mr. Brandt came alone, and he did not bring a female companion or a male companion.

According to Sophie, the brothers Brant and Coen were originally employees of Universal Pictures, and in 1920, the three resigned together and immediately founded KBK Film Sales.

From a wage earner to a boss, the sense of career accomplishment has doubled, and the career pressure has doubled and doubled.

The tremendous pressure made Brandt's hair scarce, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Sophie, Dr. Lee, the facts before our eyes are very simple, you invested half a million dollars and got % of the shares, and I agreed to do so, and the Coen brothers agreed, so I sat here to eat on behalf of KBK and your very compatible couple." ”

Uh-huh, how is it that to get your shares?

Li Kangping was slightly hesitant.

Sophie was surprised.

So clever is Sophie? She's only responsible for contacting industry insiders in the film industry? The boyfriend is responsible for the business.

Li Kangping said in disbelief: "Mr. Brandt, with all due respect? $500,000 can only get 10% of KBK's shares? Is KBK worth $5 million? Oh? You can buy Coca-Cola for $5 million! ”

"If you only count fixed assets, Hollywood land, studios, equipment, materials, etc.? KBK is certainly not worth $5 million, but? Plus our talent, ideas, channels and bright future? Absolute value of $5 million. Brandt said confidently.

"Touching confidence." Li Kangping praised, "I can buy 11,000 shares of Coca-Cola on Wall Street for $500,000, but I can't buy 10% of your shares for $500,000? All in all? Mr. Brandt, your offer is too high for me to accept. And I don't even know where to go to watch the short films you've made, so why should I believe you have a bright future? I never thought about taking a stake in your company? I thought that this dinner with you was to finalize Sophie's next feature film. ”

"Invest in my girlfriend to make a feature film? I don't think the stakes are high. But, Mr. Brandt? You suddenly told me to buy 10% of your company for $500,000? It's not on my radar at all. ”

A little awkward in the atmosphere? Luckily, the main course was served at this time? Slightly relieved the awkward atmosphere.

"The price can be negotiated again, let's enjoy the delicious taste first." Brandt made a verbal concession.

The meeting did not achieve anything substantial.

After dinner, Li Kangping went to Sophie's apartment for the night.

Li Kangping flipped through the "List of American Film Companies", and since a small company like KBK took the initiative to invite me to join the shares, let's take shares.

The next morning, Li Kangping took the "American Film Company Directory" to the King Building and summoned Benjamin to the president's office.

"Benjamin, if I'm not mistaken, you worked as a sales manager at a celluloid film ingredient company?" Li Kangping asked.

"Yes, I've had that experience." Benjamin said.

The celluloid film raw materials company is equivalent to a second-tier supplier, they sell celluloid raw materials to film companies, which then process them into finished film products and sell them to film companies.

When Benjamin worked for the celluloid film raw materials company, he did not deal directly with the film company, but the celluloid raw materials company relied on the film industry for support, so Benjamin knew something about the film industry.

"How dare a small company like KBK offer $500,000, and $500,000 can only be 10% of the shares? That's ridiculous, isn't it? Benjamin showed an incredulous expression, and then he said: "Mr. Li, I don't recommend you to get involved in the film industry, the risk of investing in such a small film company is too high. Of course, I admire your foresight in the mahjong business. But then again, if you really want to get into the film industry, I can only obey your orders. ”

"Benjamin, I mean, go investigate first."

Li Kangping flipped through the "List of American Film Companies", and he said: "KBK, it needs to be investigated. Warner Bros., also need to be investigated. Iwox-Disney Commercial Art Company still needs to be investigated. Let's investigate these three for the time being, and let's choose the best investment. ”

While Benjamin and his team were working on the investigation, Arthur Compton's "Quantum Theory of X-ray Scattering by Light Elements" was published in the latest issue of Physical Review.

This paper is an extremely important one in the history of modern physics and has the status of a milestone.

Li Kangping wrote two letters, one to Arthur Compton and the other to Wu Youxun.

After conducting a preliminary investigation of the three companies, Benjamin reported the preliminary conclusions to Li Kangping: "KBK, Mr. Li, you have already met with one of their founders, Brandt, and I would like to add that KBK's funds are very tight, and they urgently need new funds. In fact, Brant is not the core figure of KBK, the core figure of KBK is H. Cohen, who is bold enough and has strong management skills. KBK is not bankrupt now because H. Cohen is struggling to support himself with his ingenuity and operational skills. In my opinion, investing in KBK is actually investing in H. Cohen, and it is betting on whether H. Cohen can create miracles. There is room for negotiation about how much we buy in KBK, how much money we buy. ”

Warner Bros., not a small film company founded by four poor Polish immigrant brothers, made "My Four Years in Germany," which grossed $1.5 million. Warner Bros. has been noticed by the Wall Street consortium, and it's hard for us to get our hands on them. ”

"Ivox – Disney Commercial Arts, an animation company whose founder, Walt Disney, has sold to Happy Animation."

"Then Benjamin, tell me, where is Walt Disney now?"
