Chapter 205: The Carpenter Family

The mansion began to be busy, because today was different from usual, and the owners were all at home.

The rest of the Carpenter family now has their own things to do, and there are fewer and fewer opportunities to get together for dinner like this. Alex took over the property under the Carpenter family's name, and it took some time to integrate, after all, this kind of work cannot be completed by one or two instructions, and it needs to be done by the people below after the promotion from above.

Alex followed Angel back home, then his father Bart, and only later did he see his brother and sister appear.

"Hey! Richard, Karen, why are you only back now! Alex chatted with his parents for a few moments, then turned around and asked.

"Haven't you lost track of time in the studio?" Richard shrugged and replied, "Blame Cullen, she doesn't sing that part of the song well!" ”

Karen shook his head and sighed, "Brother Richard is too picky, if he hadn't forced people to record it repeatedly, my song would have been finished a long time ago." ”

Richard and Cullen also had a thriving record career, and not only that, but they also made a name for themselves in Hollywood. The Carpenter siblings are already hot stars, and their performances are guaranteed at the box office. However, Alex will not let the fat water flow to outsiders' fields, most of the movies they starred in were shot by DreamWorks, at least there must be movies invested by DreamWorks.

There may be a slight limit to this, but Richard and Cullen don't mind much, and their current focus is still on singing. In fact, the development of Hollywood films in this era is not very good, if it weren't for DreamWorks having Alex by his side. I'm afraid Morris can't have a good time alone.

"By the way, brother, when are you going to make another movie?" Instead of dwelling on Karen, Richard asked about a topic that everyone cared about.

After all, "The Sound of Music" was so impressive that even the Carpenter were taken aback.

It's been a few years since Alex filmed his first film, The Sound of Music, and now many fans are calling for Alex to make a new movie. It's just that he does what he wants, and when he made movies, he was just aiming for a high box office, and then he was asked to make movies for art or entertainment, which really didn't raise this interest.

Alex thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "There are no plans for this for the time being. Why do you care so much about whether I make a movie or not? ”

"Huh? Don't have this plan yet? Richard seemed nervous. He didn't answer the question, but hurriedly asked: "If you don't shoot this year, what about next year?" ”

"Next year? Maybe shoot or not. ”

"Oh!" Richard seemed to have been struck and immediately coaxed.

Cullen immediately reached out to Richard and said, "Hurry up." You lose. I've said a long time ago that Big Brother Alex won't make movies anymore. ”

"Who said not to shoot. If I don't shoot this year, I may shoot next year. Richard was a little unconvinced, but he still pulled out a string of agate from his pocket. Put it in Cullen's hands.

"Then you will also lose to me this year, and this string of agate will be mine's for the time being." Cullen's eyes narrowed into a line with a smile, like a fox stealing a chicken.

"What is this?"

Alex asked a little strangely, he wondered if this could be something that Angel bought, and it happened to be favored by the two of them, and then he would decide to belong in this way.

"Oh, it's a gift from my grandparents, and it's said to be a very precious jewel!"

"Precious jewels? No, it's just a string of agate, how expensive can it be? Alex naturally doesn't think that Onyx is worth anything, and now that he's seen more valuable things, he naturally won't be able to afford this little gadget.

But then again, why did the grandparents suddenly think of their relatives who stayed in the United States? Alex thought to himself and didn't ask, after all, every time he mentioned his grandparents, their father Bart was angry.

Sure enough, Bart's face immediately became gloomy, he hated his parents the most in his life. He had never seen such irresponsible people, and he had barely seen them since Bart was ten years old. If he hadn't been brought to the United States by his parents when he was 15 years old, he might have lived in China for the rest of his life.

Alex didn't continue the topic with interest, but his eyes were still attracted by the string of agate, and he always felt that the agate had a familiar energy, like the feminine energy sensed in the cemetery. I suddenly remembered that agate was often used as a funeral item in ancient times, and I was a little relieved, maybe it was something that my grandparents dug up from some grave. After figuring out why, he didn't care about the gadget anymore.

"By the way, Brother Alex, if you're going to make a movie, you must remember to leave me a role."

After Karen put the agate on, he immediately wrapped himself around Alex. She seems to be quite clingy lately, and once she sees Alex, she has to come with her, maybe because she hasn't seen each other much lately.

"Roles? It depends on whether there is a suitable one. Besides, I haven't decided to make a movie yet. ”

"I don't care, I must be given an important role anyway, preferably the heroine!"

"Heroine?" Alex watched Karen and thought to himself that there is no movie suitable for such a Lori to play now. Do you want to make a movie like "The Sixth Sense"?

Richard on the side also said: "Karen wants the heroine, then I want to play the male lead!" ”

"Alright, alright! Don't pester your brother yet, come over and eat. Angel, who had been waiting impatiently, came out to urge them, so the family went to the table outside and prepared to start eating.

The servants of the house immediately began to bring in all kinds of dishes, and of course they could not eat all the dishes, but the Carpenter family had a rare dinner, and they wasted a little. In fact, it will not be wasted, and these meals will eventually be brought back to the kitchen in their original form and become a memorable snack for servants.

At the dinner table, Bart first asked Alex about what he was busy with and the situation of various industries. Alex talked about these questions in general, so that his family could know some basic information. In fact, after Alex's adjustment, the industrial development of the Carpenter family is very good, and this era is a period of rapid development in the United States, as long as the general direction is not wrong, it is unlikely that there will be any problems that are difficult to solve.

Alex explained: "Now that the allocation and adjustment of personnel and funds have been completed, the next step is to make minor adjustments while the general policy remains unchanged. The electronic and electrical industry, the record industry, the film industry, the aerospace industry, the fast food industry, the toy manufacturing industry, etc., all revolve around the CPT investment company, through which resources are allocated and major personnel arrangements are made. ”

After a pause, he continued: "For example, if our space company needs a large amount of additional money, the only way to do this is to withdraw the funds from DreamWorks, CPT Electronics, and record labels. Before the integration, it will be necessary to discuss with other shareholders in each industry and obtain the consent of everyone before withdrawing funds, and you can imagine the time it takes to withdraw funds. Now it's different, as long as the headquarters of the investment company feels that there is a need for this, it can be realized with just one instruction. ”

Bart and they nodded again and again, in the past, the equity of their Carpenter family was not clear, one in the east and one in the west, and everyone was in charge of their own affairs. There are often problems that cannot be solved alone, and when it is necessary to bring in manpower or capital from outside, the procedures are extremely complicated.

Now, after Alex's adjustment, not only the distribution of equity is clear, but even the procedures for capital allocation and personnel transfer have been simplified a lot.

"This time must have exhausted you!" Angel said as he looked at Alex.

"Fortunately, the adjustment time is a little longer, but it can be regarded as solving a lot of hidden dangers."

Alex kept talking to people during this time, constantly copying the soul information of the company's executives, accountants, and human resources, and in this way, he quickly learned a lot of information. During this time, when his ability was used most frequently, he slowly figured it out, and there was a limit to the number of times he could copy soul information every day.

This is just like a person eating, three meals a day is already a normal person's meal, if you eat four or five meals a day, or even more than ten meals, it will be necessary to support people to death.

His current ability makes him fascinating, as long as he doesn't have two puppets on at the same time, he can basically use the skills of one puppet continuously. This kind of change was only slowly revealed after his kung fu realm broke through, and it was as if his spirit was not enough before, and he couldn't make his ability run at full power.

Now it's different, the Dark Energy Realm can not only pour the leaked essence back into the body, but also further develop the potential of the human body, so that the body's essence capacity has expanded a lot. Today's Alex is full of energy and energy. Soon he was embarrassed to find that he seemed to be full of desires, and he would think about women at every turn.

But this has changed him a lot, at least it makes people look much sunnier, and his eyes are a little sharper. Undisguised, one look of his can make people tremble, and those who are stared at will feel as if they are looking directly at the blade of the sword, and the cold hairs stand on end.

Not only that, but he can also sense all kinds of malicious thoughts slightly, especially when facing the kind of person with a tough personality and a strong heart, this sense is even clearer. What impressed him the most was Hughes, when they met before, Alex always felt the invisible pressure on Hughes, trying to penetrate his body.

Whenever this happens, Alex always has to hold his breath and concentrate so that he doesn't get confused by the other party. For Hughes's things, true and false, seven points true and three points false, Alex may not have reacted at the time, but after careful consideration, he felt Hughes's purposeful guidance.
