Chapter 362: Roland's 'Love'

As the saying goes, the words that go out are like water that is spilled, and when you blow it yourself, you have to finish it when you kneel.

At the beginning, in the face of the British royal wedding planner hired by Kate, Roland Nake was very affirmative:

"Wedding photos don't need to be taken in a limited location at all."

'Anyway, if you have money and leisure, you can go wherever you want'

Not only that, but he was young and frivolous and ignorant, and he also made a lot of nonsense at that time, saying:

'The wedding dress on the wedding day is made to order separately, and the rest can refer to the first-line finished product'

"Buy which set you like, it's a once-in-a-lifetime event, but you can't just settle for it"

So, Kate, who was warmed by these two bold words, synthesized them a little according to the context.

First of all, pull Roland and go to the major wedding dress brands to choose your favorite style.

The most classic heart-shaped neck wedding dress, a neck-wrapping wedding dress that highlights the waist curve, a boat neck wedding dress full of retro temperament, a lace sleeve wedding dress that adds temptation, and a fishtail wedding dress that outlines the figure, she ......

Bought both.

If it is said that the act of picking seventeen sets in three days is completely within the scope of Roland's acceptance, because while he is sitting in the dressing room and admiring Kate's dress, the money needed to buy these wedding dresses has been earned by his tools, then after that, Kate's reluctance to wear clothes, ahh

After choosing a wedding dress, Kate pulled Roland to discuss the location of the wedding photos.

The Mouth of Truth in Rome, the Wall of Love in Paris, the Sagrada Familia in Spain, the Royal Palace of Amalienborg in Copenhagen, the Sea of Flowers in Amsterdam, the poetic lake in Füssen, the cliffs of the North Cape......

These are the places Kate wants to visit.

After finalizing the location, Kate, who flew to shoot wherever she could, was like playing around Nuan.

According to different scenes, choose different wedding dresses, and then pose if you want to pose.

In the past few months, Roland has seen the most that is the mother-in-law wearing a wedding dress and the mother-in-law wearing nothing, and compared with this monotonous change, the happiness overflowing from every pore on the body is the only one that is eternal.

At first, Roland thought it was Kate's excitement after her wish came true.

Because he knows that Kate is also a guy who is more rational than emotional.

And the other party also said to himself before-

'I liked your face first, then I liked your money, and finally gave up my acting career for you as a person'

But when Kate took out the drawing board prepared by her assistant in advance, coquettishly told Roland, and asked him to record a sweetness belonging to the two of them every time she went to a city, Roland found that even hard-hearted people have their own fantasies.

Even if the original intention of the combination of the two parties is interests, after spending this link and deciding to build a family together for a lifetime, the kind of mutual communication that knows the roots and opens their hearts can make both parties have more intimate feelings.

This kind of affection is not love, but it has transcended love.

When living, lovers may still have their own little ninety-nine, but they don't.

Because both sides know each other's goals.

Roland helps Kate fulfill the greatest wish in her life, and Kate understands that Roland has become obsessed with power.

Lovers who have the same three views may still have their own contradictions, but they don't.

Because most of the contradictions in the world originate from greed.

But they ...... What else can you be greedy for?

This subtle change surprised both of them, and they even believed that if "Titanic" was played again, the current state of the two could completely crush the previous erotic love.

But at the same time they were surprised, they were also happy about it, because no one wanted to force a life with a hard stone.

Therefore, for the current Roland, painting for his mother-in-law is indeed the most important thing.

Because business can never be done, and people can't miss it.

As long as someone has a relationship, there is always a chance to remedy the unnegotiated business, but if the person in front of him runs away, then where should Roland find someone who can make friends? With the improvement of his status, what he desires most now is not money and love, but confiding and listening, because only this means can make him feel warm when he is lonely.

"Finally finished?"

After Roland came to his mother-in-law with his masterpiece, Kate, who had been standing for almost three hours, went limp, leaned on his man's body without any image, and while supporting Roland, he bent down and kept patting his legs with his hands.

"Oops! What a numbness! If you slow down, I'll break both legs! ”

The crying and chirping complaint provoked Roland to purse his lips and chuckle, "Isn't this the position you chose?" It's not what I asked for. ”

When the two arrived in Budapest, the capital of Hungary, Kate, who saw the Fisherman's Bastion and the Danube River, wanted to take a photo of the girl to be married looking at the distant battlefield based on the history of the war, hoping that her fiancé would return triumphantly and marry her.

Creativity, Copywriting, Content, Storyboarding...... Everything was prepared by Kate herself.

And Roland is just a tool man who listens to his wife.

But although this is a fact, how can Kate be happy to say such a de-responsible word at such a time?

It's like a couple playing a game and playing the arena, and the girl who is a wet nurse is very happy to tell her boyfriend that her healing volume has broken through a new high after winning a game, and at this time, her boyfriend suddenly replied, that's because the other three DPS are too stupid, and they stand directly in the enemy AOE and take a bath.

Isn't this begging?

Is the girl here to discuss with you?

No!

People just want you to praise her for being amazing!

So—

Kate, who was still hammering her legs, pouted and got up.

Since today's shooting is about the theme of lovesickness, Kate is wearing a long-sleeved wedding dress that does not show her shoulders or back.

In order to reflect his thoughts about his lover and interpret his loyalty to love, this wedding dress does not have any complicated patterns.

From top to bottom, it is pure white and extremely simple.

Because of this, when Kate frowned and glared at Roland, the youthfulness in the boudoir exploded in an instant.

And when she raised her hand and hammered it on Roland's shoulder, the little awkwardness of her temper made her even more cute.

"If you can't speak, don't speak!"

"No one treats you like a dumb person!"

"What do you mean by the position I choose?"

"This is obviously the result of my discussion with you!"

"Did I keep your mouth shut during the discussion?"

"I didn't deprive you of your right to advise from the beginning!"

"So! You can't put the blame on me alone right now! ”

The 'pop' slap attracted the attention of the surrounding staff.

Although the sound was loud, every slap from Kate hit the shoulder pads of the suit.

The thunder and rain made Roland hurriedly speak, and said with a smile: "Eh! Look at my memory! ”

"I forgot that this was the result of our discussion!"

"But it's really one person's responsibility!"

"Who made you so beautiful in this conservative wedding dress?"

"I was just drawing and wondering, how could you come up with such a good idea?"

"Compared to you, I haven't learned any composition skills from Steven and James in all these years!"

Even the boastful words made Kate, who was already not angry, roll her eyes, and when Roland presented her finished work in front of her with a smile, she couldn't help but purse her lips when she was still angry in front of Roland, and her beautiful eyes turned into a crescent moon.

In the painting, Kate, with her back to the castle attic, has an open door that proves that she belongs.

The hands, on the fence, the slightly sloping curves perfectly interpret the inner expectation and desire.

Facing the distance, there are mountains and forests and rivers with a few strokes of Miao Miao, symbolizing bubble-like love.

The sparkling Danube River is like a moat, perfectly separating reality and dreams.

"It's okay to draw."

Although the joy was tight, Kate still said cheekily: "There is room for improvement." ”

The bulging cheeks provoked Roland to shake his head again and again, "No, no, no, no matter how hard I try, I can't draw your true beauty." ”

The schoolboy-like words finally made Kate break the work, she tilted her head, and said with a smile: "Huh? You're doing it, aren't you? ”

"Ah, I don't understand what you're talking about." Roland continued to pretend to be stupid.

However, this act of death directly deprived Kate of the opportunity to defend himself, "Okay! Don't understand, do you? ”

"Then you don't need to understand!"

"My feet are numb, carry me back."

‘What? Roland was shocked.

Before he could react, Kate had already put her arms around his neck, and her body naturally relaxed.

Like a koala, it hung on the body of his own man.

Such an act made Roland call it a loss, but after he and the guy who played the trick looked at each other for a long time, that smug look made him take the initiative to admit defeat and take her away from the scene directly in the posture of a princess.

"Where are you going?"

Roland didn't want to give this guy who kicked his nose in the face a good face.

But Kate, who was satisfied, giggled.

"Go back to the hotel and change your clothes and go to dinner, haven't we all been like this these days?"

For ordinary people, taking wedding photos can be both physical and mental torture, because merchants who want to make you money will constantly manipulate you and make you make various poses according to their requirements to achieve a large-scale film in a limited time.

But for Roland and Kate, there is only one thing that needs to be done by the merchants who follow the shooting.

That's to shut up.

In this way, acting according to preferences is the norm in the group.

And during the meal, they had nothing to say and also chatted about the phone call in the afternoon.

"Who called you in the afternoon when you were drawing?" Kate asked.

"David." Roland replied casually.

"David? What did he call out of the blue? Do you want to ask how your wedding is going? Kate was curious.

As soon as he heard this, Roland shook his head like a rattle, "How can there be! It's a business thing. ”

"He told me that Amazon had heard from some sources that News Corp. wanted to enter the e-commerce space......

Roland recounted the matter briefly.

"Is that serious?"

After listening to the cause of the incident, Kate asked with concern, "Are we going back?" Or do you want to ask someone about News Corp.? Didn't you just swallow their Blue Sky Studio? Could this be revenge? ”

Although Kate has always said that everything must be up to her before the wedding is completed, ......

This kind of thing is just casual talk.

When she has nothing to do, she will take away the right to speak at home, but when things come to the door, support and companionship are the only choice.

"No, you don't."

Roland didn't worry so much, and repeated his previous judgment.

"News Corp won't take any risks when the dot-com bubble bursts......"

"What if?" Kate was still a little uneasy.

"What if? No in case. This kind of thing, Roland beeped confidently, "E-commerce is a thing that needs to rely on burning money to embezzle the market, and News Corp can afford to burn this money, but the market will not give them the confidence to burn money......"

"Even if News Corp. can convince all shareholders to choose to enter the market after the dot-com bubble collapses, then what they will do is buy the e-commerce platforms that are still alive in the market, but in addition to Amazon, isn't it eBay that still has the momentum in the market? And the best way to get rid of eBay is to ......"

"What is it?" Kate hates Roland's half-talking, "Hurry up!" ”

'Smack'

A slap slapped on the man's thigh again.

"I said I said ......"

Roland couldn't get this kind of person, and directly revealed the puzzle, "The best way to defeat eBay is to acquire PayPal......"

That's right! In Roland's view, those media groups that are hostile to the News Corporation, are too low-level!

Because of the debt of nearly 10 billion, the News Corporation, which was stared at by those media giants, did not have the leisure to burn money in the new industry!

And even if News Corp really carries out a capital invasion and wants to retaliate against Roland by buying, buying, buying......

Then Roland can also buy and buy and buy back!

Because apart from Amazon, there is only one eBay on the market that has a purchase value!

If JD.com copied Amazon, then Taobao learned eBay.

As a B2C e-commerce platform, Amazon does not need a third-party payment endorsement, but as a C2C e-commerce platform, without the endorsement of a third-party payment platform, users will not dare to choose at all.

As the so-called B2C has three treasures: brand, channel, and good sales; C2C has three treasures: you open, I buy, Alipay.

Taobao took off because of the existence of Alipay, and eBay was not eliminated because of the acquisition of PayPal, so if you want to strangle eBay, the best way is to buy PayPal.

As for what to say, News Corp can also make a PayPal...... on its own

Then this is whimsical.

Without the help of Wall Street, the politicians who want to kill them can fill the Pacific Ocean before they move their companies to the United States.

Seriously, if News Corp wanted to retaliate from other channels, Roland would still be nervous, but what about e-commerce......

The probability that News Corp can win, and even the probability of a number thief stealing a number and then just one like is high!

"So you're buying PayPal?" Hearing Roland say this, Kate relaxed again.

And Roland's answer was even more casual, "Collect, when we go back in August, let David collect ......."

Although Roland is full of confidence, he chooses to be cautious after making the same arrogant mistake as last time.

Regardless of whether News Corp wants to attack him, there is always nothing wrong with buying PayPal.

First, after the acquisition of PayPal, it can effectively threaten eBay and strengthen Amazon's position in the circle.

Second, he is, after all, the majority shareholder of Apple and Google.

After acquiring PayPal, it can monopolize the entire third-party payment market, directly cut Apple Pay when Apple mobile phones are popular around the world, and let Google Pay be stillborn when Android fights against it.

Although credit cards are the mainstream way for people to pay, ......

Third-party payments don't have to exist that much.

This kind of business is enough to do it alone, and it is better for others to do it than he Roland himself!

As Warren Buffett said -

"Every one of our companies needs to build their own moat if they want to live longer and live more comfortably."

PayPal is a moat, a moat that can curb the development of competitors while strengthening itself.

As for why this kind of thing wasn't said before, it's because ......

"August?" After hearing the word, Kate was stunned for a moment.

Because she didn't know why Roland would say this inexplicably.

But when Roland pulled her into his arms, inserted his hands into her hair, massaged her scalp, and helped her reminisce, the refreshing feeling made Kate, who was like a cat, suddenly realize, "Oh...... I've forgotten all about it! ”

"August, it's the day "Hot Mom and Hot Girl" is released, right?"
