"By the way, boss, the book "Redemption" you wrote was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature this year, do you want to attend the awards party at the end of the year?"

Earl Holiman asked.

There are still many regulations for the Nobel Prize, one of which is to keep the list of nominees secret for 50 years, which is a rigid system for the Nobel Prize, and the official list of nominees for all awards except the Peace Prize must be kept secret for 50 years before it can be declassified.

In other words, this year's list of nominees will not be declassified until after 2020, and the Nobel Prize has many people running with it every year, and there are still a lot of people accompanying them, but I don't know how many people accompany them each time.

However, Zhang Zhonghua didn't plan to attend this awards party, there are many writers in the world, and "Redemption" has no chance of winning the Nobel Prize in Literature, let alone ......

"I won't go, I don't think this work has much chance of winning the award, even if there is a hope of winning the Nobel Prize, the ugly country will vigorously interfere and prevent it from winning the award."

Zhang Zhonghua smiled indifferently.

This remark made Earl Holliman a little embarrassed, and he also knew that there was little hope of winning the award, although "Redemption" was the pursuit of freedom and had many positive thoughts, but the ugly country described was also a little dark.

Although Earl Holliman knows that the book written by Zhang Zhonghua is relatively realistic, in order to promote the so-called dream of an ugly country, the government of the ugly country must also put pressure on the Nobel Prize committee not to win the Nobel Prize in Literature, otherwise it will be a slap in the face of the ugly country itself.

wrote about the ugly country so ugly, and won the Nobel Prize for Literature, how can he continue to preach freedom and democracy?

Earl Holliman then did not mention this topic again, but briefly reported the company's situation to Zhang Zhonghua.

While listening to the report, Zhang Zhonghua picked up the certificates and trophies of the Nebula Prize and the Pulitzer Prize for Literature and admired them carefully, and after watching them for a while, he felt that it was not interesting.

The Pulitzer Prize is a clear crystal of a pentalateral star, and the avatar must be Joseph Pulitzer himself;

The Nebula Award is more creative, and the rectangular trophy is made of transparent synthetic resin, which contains a spiral nebula and several planets.

But to be honest, this trophy certificate is of no practical use to him, but it just gives him two more capital to brag about in the future, but he is not short of bragging capital.

"Boss, one more thing is that "Menglong Across the River" is about to be released worldwide, do you think we should publicize the Academy Awards in advance?"

Suddenly, Earl Holliman asked Zhang Zhonghua.

"Whatever, you can contact Columbia Pictures and Paramount Pictures in advance to win some awards, but this movie is an R-rated film, and there should be no hope for the Best Picture Award."

Zhang Zhonghua shrugged his shoulders and said.

"It doesn't have to be Best Picture, it can be any other award. There are many Oscar awards, all of which are approaching 30.

Although there is not much hope for Best Picture, there is hope for Best Actor, Best Original Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Original Score, Best Original Song, and so on.

In particular, the soundtrack and theme song provided by you are very good, and it should not be a big problem to win the award, but it is estimated that it will cost four or five hundred thousand dollars to sponsor it. ”

Zhang Zhonghua remembered the storyline of "Menglong Crossing the River", which was filmed in so many famous scenic spots around the world, and the music of some of his restaurants and supermarkets was also used, and the chances of winning the award for Best Original Music were indeed quite high.

And even if they can't do it, if they don't have the two movie giants to assist, the hope is still relatively large, and they definitely hope that the movie will win a little more awards.

"Okay, then you can try and try to win a few more awards. and "Redemption" will also be released next year, and this movie can be vigorously publicized, striving to get a little golden man back. ”

After Zhang Zhonghua arranged to attend the premiere of "Menglong Across the River", he walked to Santa Clara Software in San Francisco for a few days.

Then he flew to Los Angeles by plane, there are still a few days before the premiere of "Menglong Crossing the River", and Zhang Zhonghua is so natural that there are other things.

Zhang Zhonghua, who came to Los Angeles, drove with his bodyguards to the temporary office of the Jade Emperor Group.

This is the purpose of Zhang Zhonghua's visit to Los Angeles, CFC Restaurant has now begun to recruit talents in Los Angeles to form a team of ugly countries, and some restaurants in Mexico have stepped up their openings, just to catch a ride on the World Cup.

When Zhang Zhonghua and the others were waiting for the elevator at the foot of the CFC's temporary office building, two people next to him, who did not know whether they were of Indian or Mexican origin, were talking about recruitment.

When he went upstairs, Zhang Zhonghua found that he was going to be on the same floor as the two of them, and saw the two of them walking into a company called Korn Ferry, Zhang Zhonghua was stunned when he saw the name.

Isn't this Korn Ferry the famous Korn Ferry in the future?

Korm Feeey, also known as Korn Ferry, was founded last year and is the last two of the world's top five executive search firms.

Korn Ferry and Russell Reynolds Associates were born in the same year, with Korn Ferry in Los Angeles on the west bank of the country and Russell Reynolds Associates in New York on the east coast.

It's really fate, if it weren't for today's encounter, Zhang Zhonghua would have almost forgotten about joining a headhunting company.

And I also struggled with which company to invest in, but now I don't have to worry about it, someone sent it to the door by himself.

The two founders of Korn Ferry are Lyster Cohen and Charlie Fury, who have served as the head of KPMG's Ugly Country West Coast Hunt.

However, there were many constraints in large accounting firms, so the two co-founded the first executive search firm on the west coast of the ugly country, Korn Ferry, which is now Korn Ferry.

Compared with the more conservative and low-key eldest brother Heidster and second brother Spencer Stuart on the east coast of the ugly country, Korn Ferry International has been a "western cowboy" who has been brave in innovation since its birth.

The duo started branding with a PR agency and began advertising job boards in newspapers, while the partners spent their time mostly with clients and eventual candidates.

Although Korn Ferry is the youngest brother of the Big Five, it is the first of the Big Five to IPO.

Just three years after its founding, Korn Ferry listed a quarter of its shares in the Ugly Country OTC market, with a market value of about $4 million at the time.

In the future, the five major headhunters will each specialize in some different fields, and the industries involved in Korn Ferry are basically exactly the same as those of Jade Emperor Group, which can properly provide strong assistance to Jade Emperor Group and recruit more outstanding talents.

Isn't it perfectly complementary to Korn Ferry's involvement in high-tech industries, financial services and insurance, industrial manufacturing, consumer goods, life sciences, medical and health care, education, culture and entertainment, and public welfare.

There are certainly many high-tech companies in the Jade Emperor Group, such as Jade Emperor Bank and Securities in finance, Nippon Steel and Jade Emperor Electric in the industrial manufacturing industry, and Carrefour supermarkets, Homemart convenience stores and CFC catering companies in consumer goods, and so on, and other futures will definitely be entered.

Zhang Zhonghua was very happy when he thought of this, and he couldn't sit still, so he briefly learned about the progress of CFC from the person in charge and got up and walked to the company next door.

Korn Ferry has only been established for less than half a year, and although the company has undergone a certain amount of development and growth, there are only dozens of employees.

"Hello, welcome to Korn Ferry, what services do you need?"

The girl at the front desk saw Zhang Zhonghua come in, and immediately said enthusiastically.

"Hello, I'm from the company next door, and I want to talk to your boss about some business."

Zhang Zhonghua followed the girl at the front desk to a small conference room, and he carefully observed the company along the way, well, it's not big.

Soon the two middle-aged people I met in the elevator also came to the small conference room, and it was funny for the three of them to meet.

"Hello, welcome to Korn Ferry, I'm Lyster Cohen, this is Charlie, Fury, Korn Ferry is just the two of us founded, can I ask if there is anything we can help you."

"Hello, I'm Zhang Zhonghua, chairman of the Jade Emperor Group."

Zhang Zhonghua said to the two with a smile.

"Oh my God! Mr. Zhang Zhonghua is sorry for not recognizing you, sir, it is such an honor to meet you. ”

Lystekorn and Charlie Fury took a serious look at it and found that it was indeed Zhang Zhonghua, and they were excited in their hearts.

Zhang Zhonghua is not only a well-known writer, but also has quite a lot of companies in the world, even if there are several companies in the ugly country, it can be regarded as an international giant.

It's a pity that the temple of my company is too small, and it seems that it can't accommodate this big Buddha, and the company doesn't have much business now.

"Without further ado, I want to take a stake in your company. I don't know if your company accepts shares now, I don't need too many shares, and the reason why I have invested in you is also to facilitate the recruitment of excellent talents. ”

Zhang Zhonghua said straight to the point.

The two were dumbfounded when they heard that Zhang Zhonghua had joined the shares, their company is so small now, and the two of them made less than $100,000 to set up last year.

"Mr. Zhang Zhonghua, our company is estimated to be less than 500,000 US dollars, and the matter of investing in shares is ......."

Lyster Cohen was a little embarrassed Zhang Zhonghua said, in order not to look too embarrassed, he also doubled the company's market value.

"It's okay, I can invest 250,000 US dollars in you, which is 25% of the company's shares, which is already double the premium.

And I will not participate in any business activities of the company, and at the same time, I will provide the company with an interest-free loan of no less than $1 million, what do you think? ”

Zhang Zhonghua said with a smile to the two.

The two glanced at each other, first a little sluggish, and then sparks of excitement and excitement appeared in their eyes at the same time, they are worthy of being super-rich, this is a door-to-door delivery of money?!

"May I ask Mr. Zhang Zhonghua, what are your requirements?"

Charlie Furry asked, holding back his excitement.

"Don't worry, Korn Ferry is still too weak at present, I just hope that you can make the company bigger and stronger, and complete the international expansion as soon as possible.

My Jade Emperor Group has more than one million employees around the world, and there is still a big talent gap in need, and it will continue to expand in the future.

Some of the group's recruitment matters in the ugly country will also be handed over to you, which can help Korn Ferry develop rapidly while completing the company's recruitment tasks. ”

"Sir, you wait a moment, and the two of us will discuss it before we get back to you."

"Of course, you can."

Zhang Zhonghua watched the two of them leave the small conference room excitedly, but he didn't find that he met Korn Ferry, which saved him a lot of trouble.

"Do you think what Mr. Zhang said is true or false?"

"Of course it's true, is there any benefit in him lying to us? We have absolutely nothing to deceive him. ”

"However, this company is our dream, such a giant crocodile shares, do we still have the final say?"

With the interest-free loan of $1 million he provided, we can quickly open up the market, and we can also recruit more talents to join the company."

"It's really good, it's good not to participate in the company's operation with 25% of the shares, and the Jade Emperor Group also has enough orders to support our development."

"Moreover, one million two hundred and fifty thousand dollars arrived at once, this is one hundred and twenty thousand thousand dollars!"

"yes, he gave too much......"

The two quickly came to an agreement and returned to the conference room.

After a brief bruising, Zhang Zhonghua and the two reached an agreement, and SoftBank Capital invested US$250,000 in a 25% stake in Korn Ferry, and at the same time provided a $1.5 million interest loan to Korn Ferry.

Zhang Zhonghua is not worried about the two of them taking the money and running away, he doesn't believe that the two people who can develop these two small companies into one of the five giants will be so short-sighted.

However, it is a lot of savings to be able to take a stake in Korn Ferry, and his trip to Los Angeles is really worth it.

A few days later, it was time for the movie to premiere, and Zhang Zhonghua was shocked when he came to the Paramount Hotel with his bodyguards.

The whole Paramount was around six o'clock, it was crowded with people, beautiful women like clouds, Zhang Zhonghua saw those coolly dressed Haolaiwu stars, Zhang Zhonghua couldn't help swallowing saliva.

No wonder those tycoons often come to the dock to mess around, it's too corrupt, it's too corrosive of people's will!

！

As soon as Zhang Zhonghua got out of the car, he heard countless book lovers shouting his name. He took the signature pen handed over by the staff and began the difficult journey, constantly signing "The Three-Body Problem" and "Redemption" on both sides.

Well, there were a few people who didn't bring books, and Zhang Zhonghua's signature was very hopeful, and in the end, Zhang Zhonghua, who had no choice, could only sign on their bodies.

After struggling to enter the hotel, Bruce Lee and several martial arts masters who appeared in the movie were exchanging autographs with a group of fans.

And little Michael is also singing on stage, of course, actresses who come to the red carpet are indispensable at any time, and TV and newspaper media in ugly countries are also doing interviews.
