Chapter 149: Investing in Warner

"Tony, look that dog is so cute!" Nicole pointed to a dog not far away and said excitedly to Monet.

To be honest, although Monet also likes dogs, he is a little different from Nicole, that is, he likes familiar ......

It may be that Nicole was too excited, so the voice was a little loud, so that the dog owner heard it, but fortunately he didn't care, but proudly introduced: "This dog is not ordinary, he is a hero, he has participated in the world war!" And he also has a nice name called Zero Tintin! ”

"Zero Dingding? The name is really interesting! Nicole chimed in.

But when Monet heard the name "Zero Tintin", a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he seemed to think of something, so he asked the young man, "Hello, are you Mr. Warner?" ”

"Huh? Do you know me? The young man asked, surprised.

"Uncle Milton told me that Warner Bros. had a dog coming down from the battlefield!" Monet casually pushed the pot to his innkeeper.

"Oh, sir, you're a guest of Uncle Milton!" Warner suddenly realized.

"Well, I'm actually his boss!" Monet corrected.

"So you're Mr. Monet, I'm really sorry, but I actually like to read what you wrote!" Warner hurriedly apologized.

"It's okay, uh, I have a non-polite question that I want to ask you what exactly you call it? Mr. Warner? The reason why Monet asked this question is because there are four people in Warner Bros., so their film company will be named Warner Bros.! (I don't think I need to go into detail about a film and television production company as well-known as Warner Bros., but now they are just a small company, and they are still too early to become famous.) )

"I'm Sam Warner! Now in Hollywood, Jack and I, Harry and Albert are in New York! Sam explained.

"Actually, I also have friends who like to make movies, such as Chaplin!"

"I love Charlie's movies so much, he's a comedic genius!" Sam applauded.

"Are you filming now?" Monet asked curiously.

Sam shook his head and replied, "No, because there are no great ideas for the time being!" ”

Monet thought for a moment, then pointed to "Zero Dingding" and said: "Actually, you can make a movie for Zero Dingding, I believe that such a unique theme will definitely attract attention!" ”

Monet is not talking nonsense, because Warner Bros. made a total of 25 films in the "Zero Tintin" series until the dog could no longer shoot......

Hearing Monet say this, Sam's eyes immediately lit up: "Huh? Mr. Monet, your idea is really interesting, and I think I can think about it. ”

"Well, there is another question, does your company accept capital injection now?" Monet asked again, because considering that Warner is still small now, if it invests in shares now, it can be said that it can be said to be able to inherit the wealth of several lifetimes, of course, provided that future generations do not lose......

"Mr. Monet, would you like to invest in our company?" Sam asked excitedly.

Monet nodded and replied: "That's right, I am very optimistic about the prospects of your brothers, and you will definitely be able to become the largest film company in the world in the future!" Originally, Monet wanted to say "the world's largest film and television company", but considering that there is no TV yet, he can only talk about movies instead.

Extreme Soul Chaos

Unexpectedly, Sam replied with some embarrassment: "I'm sorry, Mr. Monet, although I appreciate your appreciation of our brother, but this kind of financial affairs have always been the responsibility of eldest brother Harry, I will call him, and then you can talk to him, okay?" But I'm sure he'll be glad to say yes! ”

As soon as Sam said this, Monet recalled that it was true that Warner Bros. was responsible for its own responsibilities in the early days, Sam was in charge of technology, Jack was in charge of production, Harry was in charge of finance, and Albert was in charge of other work, but it was the youngest Jack who had the last laugh, and the worst was Sam who stood in front of him at this time, because what really made Warner Bros. shine was the launch of the first sound movie, and the biggest hero was Sam, but unfortunately he died before the premiere of "The King of Jazz", I didn't see my proudest work until I died...... (It is said that when "The Jazz Singer" was first released, standing tickets were sold in movie theaters.) )

After negotiating with Sam, the two said goodbye and left, and then Nicole asked Monet with some concern, "Tony, do you really want to invest in this small company?" Why don't you go to Charlie and ask them, after all, you can't get this investment back! ”

Monet shrugged and replied, "Why do you want to pull it back?" Didn't I just say that I firmly believe that they will be the biggest film company in the world! ”

Seeing that Monet could not be persuaded to do so, Nicole had to sigh helplessly and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you." Then he said angrily: "I obviously said that I came to Hollywood this time to accompany me, but why did you start working again?" ”

"Actually, it's not a job, it's just a casual touch, and the main job is still to be discussed in New York!" Monet argued.

As it turned out, Sam was right, and after learning that Monet was planning to invest in his brother's company, Harry immediately rushed over from Hollywood.

After signing the contract, Monet felt that he could give them some real advice, so he asked Sam during the drink celebration, "Sam, have you ever thought about making a sound movie?" ”

Sam nodded without hesitation and replied, "Of course I do, but unfortunately the current technology doesn't allow it!" ”

Monet proposed: "I heard that Bell Labs seems to be doing research in this area, if you are interested, I can take you to Bell Labs another day to have a look, and then talk about technical cooperation, I believe that if we can make a sound film, then it will definitely beat all the studios!" ”

"Bell Labs? Is it Mr. Alexander Bell, who invented the telephone? Sam asked, surprised.

"That's right, it's Mr. Bell, in fact, in addition to the telephone, Mr. Bell also studied many things, such as the earliest X-ray machine, a giant kite that could carry people, and improved the gramophone......"

Before Monet could finish speaking, Sam agreed: "I know this, Mr. Bell can be said to be my idol, and it is my honor to have the opportunity to go to his laboratory!" ”

PS: I saw a copy of "Covering the Sky: Rebirth Pang Bo" on the new book list, probably because I haven't read the Covering Sky (I'm not interested in fantasy), and I like talk show actor Pang Bo very much, so I feel inexplicably funny when I see this title......
