Chapter 141: Big KK and Lima
Royal Point, New York, 13th Road.
In the manor house,
Beautiful outdoor glass-domed swimming pool.
Even if it's close to four degrees outside.
There was also a fifth-level cold wind, enough to make anyone in thin clothes shiver.
In the glass pool,
At the expense of the cost, not counting the sword.
The entire inside of the huge glass dome, which is 40 meters wide, 55 meters long, and about 8 meters high, is as warm as spring at this time.
Michael Levine, dressed in an overcoat, first got off the helicopter and felt it was much colder than Manhattan.
Not long after entering the glass pool, Michael was so hot that he wanted to take off his coat.
Michael looked at the glass pool in four directions.
Beneath the four glass walls, there are more than twenty outdoor heaters and hot air conditioners.
These incredible creatures provide enough warmth inside the glass dome to keep them warm.
The owner was so good at enjoying it.
Use so many high-power air coolers, combined with hot air conditioners.
This glass pool, even when it's snowing outside.
I guess it's not even cold inside.
It's just that maybe the electricity bill will be staggering.
Thinking like this, Michael Levine retracted his slightly relaxed spirit and listened carefully to what his boss had to say.
ใ. The New York City government has already agreed. It's a bit expensive, and it only gives us one day of preparation, five hours of use, and three hours of disassembly."
"But that's good. To be honest, I didn't expect them to say yes, but it was a bonus."
Same as the last time I came.
Michael Levine sat stiffly in a recliner.
Abel was dressed in a bathrobe and lazily lying on a chaise longue.
Next to the recliner,
It was Joanna, the head of Abel's butlers, surrounded by four beautiful maids who were on call at any time.
Under the pool.
It's the same as last time, there are two beautiful "mermaids" swimming in bikinis.
Michael Levine controls his gaze to avoid upsetting his boss.
Michael Levine also knew what the boss said.
is talking about the fact that this time Isha's company was actually in the hands of the New York City government.
Apply to host an event in Manhattan's Times Square on December 24.
In fact, it's not just the boss who finds it a little unbelievable.
Michael Levine himself feels a bit like a dream until now.
Half a month ago.
When Michael Levine learned that the New York City government actually agreed to Isha's application.
Levin's first reaction was to wonder if it was April, if he heard the news on April 1.
But then it turned out that Isha did succeed.
It was granted temporary use rights by the New York City government for a section of Manhattan's Times Square.
It's just very expensive.
In order to qualify for this.
In total, Isha donated to the New York City Government three times over the course of a month.
The donation will be used for public infrastructure and public personnel welfare.
Three donations, one more than one, add up to more than $20 million.
These are donations that face the New York City government.
On the side, there are other donations too.
Isha has also made several donations to several private charitable funds.
If you look closely, you will find these private charitable funds.
The holders behind them, each with a high level of New York City government connections.
One of them, for example, received a $3 million donation to a charitable foundation that cares for dolphins off New York.
Its permanent honorary president is the current First Lady of New York, Ms. Julia.
Contributions from both quarters.
All combined, the total amount is almost $50 million.
In addition to these donations, Isha also pays into the buildings around Times Square.
The cost is almost more than $20 million.
Combined, the cost is more than $70 million.
There is also a New York-specific K Street firm, which was also hired by Isha.
The cost is also staggering.
All told, Isha has paid more than $80 million in bills.
That's a staggering expense.
But even so, Michael Levine didn't feel like he could succeed at first.
There is a high probability that this money will be wasted.
After all, before that.
Never heard of a private company that was able to use Times Square on its own for a while.
After all, it was the famous crossroads of the world!
But in the end, the application was approved.
Efforts with little hope in the early stage, as well as large sums of dollars to spend.
It paid off.
But Michael Levine knew that the reason why he could apply was successful.
Aside from the large amount of dollars, Isa's own efforts have had little effect.
Able to get approval from the New York City government.
The biggest reason is still on the young and handsome boss in front of him.
Hearing the boss's emotion at this moment, Michael Levine hurriedly said:
"It's all because of you. It was your efforts that allowed Isha to achieve what no other company could do!"
"Ha~ I like to hear you say that." Able smiled and said, "Even if that's true. But Michael, your tone is always so pleasant."
The two Michaels beside Abel are both senior pimps.
Or should I say,
Entertainment agents who mix well in the United States, also known as entertainment agents.
One of these people must have done the work of a pimp!
If you can't do this job as an entertainment agent, the resources in the circle must not be very good.
Because in many cases, if you make the high-level people in the circle happy, you will have a high probability of obtaining the corresponding resources.
The cost is low and the harvest can be large.
Low investment and high profits, why not?
Under this premise,
Entertainment agents can't even be pimps.
And if you want to be a good pimp, you must have a sweet mouth in front of people with resources, that's for sure.
Michael Ovitz is like that, and so is Michael Levine.
Abel felt that among the people around him.
In the area of sycophancy and sweetness, only Merio can hold these two people down.
"Now that we've got the right to host it."
Abel looked at Michael Levine, and he said seriously:
"Then we can't mess it up. If it is messed up, it will not only bleak the future of Isha's company."
"It's going to be embarrassing, too. I might even make the New York City government blame me."
"You know what I mean? Michael, on the night of December 24th, must not fail."
Looking at the boss's serious expression, Michael Levin's heart suddenly tightened.
Michael Levine immediately nodded and said solemnly:
ใBOSSใ Rest assured. I've hired the best designers, engineers, and actuaries to calculate the entire process and the construction and demolition of the facility."
"I promise, there will be no problems with the facilities for this event!"
It's Times Square, and it's so eye-catching.
Isha is going to run its own there
Isa Xiu, or Christmas Eve, December 24.
It can be said that these two points alone will attract the attention of most Americans that night.
At that time, the heat will even hope to look at the Super Bowl.
After all, the Super Bowl is a regular occurrence, once a year.
The underwear model catwalk on Christmas Eve in Times Square is really the first time in history!
If there is something wrong on the field, even an accident, when it comes time to hold the event.
Not only Abel will bear a lot of responsibility, but perhaps even the New York City government will become a laughing stock.
The current mayor of the Elephant Party will not participate in the election next year.
He is about to leave office, and due to health reasons, he will not be able to take the road of politics in the future.
Before leaving office,
He wants to make a big profit, and he is not afraid of carrying the black pot.
In addition, I also want to take risks, and bet on Abel to succeed.
If successful, it will give New York one more event.
It can also help with the tourism and attention of New York.
There are considerations in this regard.
The New York City government would agree to the request and approve the outrageous request for Issaxiu to be in Times Square.
In this, Abel's personal reasons also play a part.
At the time of Isha's application, it was at the height of the Smith storm.
New York has a bit of an Internet celebrity city, and Abel was the biggest "Internet celebrity" in the United States at that time.
New York also wants to rub his hot spots.
In addition, Abel contacted several companies on K Street in Washington, D.C.
In addition to letting them make trouble with Sony, they also found some people to lobby for this matter.
After a multi-pronged approach, it finally succeeded.
It's just that this kind of success has not even reached half of the real success.
It really succeeds until the end of the Isa show and the feedback is very good.
is a real success.
In this process, of course, there can be no mistakes.
In case it doesn't work out, the collapse of Isha is just a trivial matter.
Let the New York City government blame or even blame, or cause a bad influence.
That's the big bad thing.
In this, in case something happens, Abel is of course the first person responsible.
But Abel can easily get out, at most he has a bad reputation and takes on a little infamy.
Lose some money.
And Michael Levine, the second person responsible, is estimated to be doomed.
For this event, Michael Levine can be said to have gambled on his career and fame.
Cheng Ze became the most famous model company and underwear company boss in the United States and even the world, and became a big man in the industry.
If you fail, you probably won't even be able to go to work.
It's all about this, and Michael Levine is naturally very serious.
Fortunately, Abel's support for him was very strong.
Whether it's connections in New York, or financial support.
No effort has been spared.
This makes Michael Levine much easier to do in this matter.
Reciprocate, Michael Levine for any request of his boss.
Naturally, I did my best.
Like tonight.
In fact, before this, he was still negotiating with people from two engineering companies.
I can't even sit down with my busy ass.
But the boss made a phone call, and he immediately brought the two young models who were on the catwalk in New Jersey to the boss.
Just because the boss said that he was scared to swim at night and needed two people to accompany him.
Next
Michael Levine talked to Abel about the Isa Show again.
Among them, there are hardware considerations.
"New York now
It's all so cold. On Christmas Eve, it may have snowed for an unknown amount of time."
"Even though the models are frost-resistant, they can be very cold."
"It's hard to freeze them to death. If you get sick from the cold, the news behind it is not very good."
"Michael, do you have any plans or preparations for this?"
Hearing the boss's question, Michael Levine thought to himself-
[You can walk the catwalk in Times Square on Christmas Eve in the attention of more than tens of millions of American viewers.] ใ
[Those models, where might they be afraid of that little cold. ใ
[Not to mention the weather around minus five or six degrees, even if it is minus twenty or thirty degrees, they will be willing. ใ
Of course, they are willing to be willing in spirit.
But after all, the flesh is also a mortal body, and it will also be afraid of cold.
When the time comes, the warmth of the catwalk still has to be considered.
"There are currently two options."
Michael Levine said:
"It's all a plan from a design company and an engineering company."
"The first plan was to cover the outside of the runway with glass. Separate the air and turn on the hot air conditioner heating inside. That way the models won't get frozen."
"It's just that with this plan, the scene may not be so pretty."
Abel nodded, the bad thing about this plan is that the glass will be reflective to some extent.
Especially at night.
At that time, it may affect the shooting and affect the effect of the scene.
"What about the second option?" Abel spoke again.
"The second option is to use a lot of hot air conditioners and air coolers on site to try to increase the temperature in and around the show."
"The disadvantage is that no matter how much you improve, because if the hot air escapes, it will eventually get cold."
"It's just that it's going to be a lot better than nothing, and the models may be able to handle this cold."
"Okay." Abel nodded, he didn't really care about that.
can walk the catwalk in front of tens of millions of people around the world, what's the matter with being colder?
Will there be a model who will refuse?
If it's frozen, it's a big deal to rest for a while to heal.
If you don't show up, it is estimated that the models will be the first to refuse.
After a few more conversations, Abel looked at the time and saw that it was almost up.
He smiled at Michael Levine.
"Michael, I'm going to swim. Do you want to be together?"
Michael Levine where dare to be together.
The quick response AA senior partner and broker immediately stood up and said:
"Ah~ No. Boss, I honestly don't know how to swim. And I still have a job, and I'm going back to Manhattan."
"Do you still have to work so late?"
"Yes. And it's urgent, I have to leave immediately."
"Okay then." Abel pretended to say, "Since you're busy, go first."
"Okay. I'm gone, goodbye, boss."
"Goodbye, Michael."
Michael Levine left the glass pool without looking back.
It was as if he had forgotten about the two young models he had brought with him.
The two "mermaids" in the pool have actually been paying attention to Michael Levine and Abel.
Seeing Michael Levine leave, the two of them began to get nervous.
They know that the drama is coming.
Can you attend the Isa Show in Times Square?
Is there a chance to become a "Smith girl" like the two seniors in the company?
It depends on the next performance of the two of them.
is only 16 years old this year, and the Czech supermodel Karolina Kokuva has not yet grown up.
Soaking in the warm pool water, she couldn't help but whisper to Adriana Lima, who was a few years older than herself:
"Lima,
Are you nervous?"
Carolina Kokuva is sixteen years old, and Adriana Lima is actually not that old.
Born in 1981, Lima has only turned 19 years old for a short time.
However, compared to Carolina Kokuva, nineteen-year-old Lima has already made a name for herself in the New York modeling industry.
In the middle of this year, she even appeared on the cover of an issue of Elle magazine.
"What's there to be nervous about?" Adriana Lima disagreed:
"What do you have to pay to enter this circle, don't tell me you don't have this kind of consciousness yet?"
Carolina Kokuva certainly has the consciousness in Lima's mouth.
Even though she is only sixteen years old, she has been in the modeling industry for two years.
The modeling circle in Europe and the United States is a circle that is darker than the entertainment industry.
Many explicit and unspoken rules in the entertainment industry do not belong to the rules here at all.
They belong to the everyday.
"Okay." Karolina Kokova said: "I was just a little nervous. After all, it's my first time."
Adriana Lima glanced at her little sister, who was not yet fully developed.
She wanted to say a few more words.
But at this time, she noticed that Abel on the shore had taken off his bathrobe.
The marble sculpture is general, more beautiful than the body of most of the top male models in the modeling industry, and jumped into the water with a bang.
Swam towards them.
Adriana Lima retracted her look of disdain for Karolina Kokuva.
With a big smile on her face, she swam towards Abel, who swam over.
Sixteen-year-old Karolina Kokuva was stunned, then gritted her teeth and fluttered to catch up with Adriana Lima.
This evening.
The glass pool at 13th Road, New York.
Because of human movement, the temperature of the pool water has increased by 0.0001 degrees.
Early the next morning.
When Karolina Kokuva opened her eyes a little confused, looking at the unfamiliar ceiling overhead.
Her first reaction was. I'm so tired, and it hurts somewhere in my body.
The second reaction was oh, I'm in my villa on Long Island right now.
Last night, I completed a "deal" with Adriana Lima.
The third reaction was what about the man?
The future light of the Czech Republic, she quickly turned her head to look around, trying to find the figure of the man she felt she would never forget in her life.
But only in the bed and in the room, she saw Adriana Lima, who was sleeping and even snoring.
And the whole room is messy like a big fight.
Low blood sugar when I just woke up, coupled with my young age, the future top supermodel, was stunned for a few minutes.
After a while, she couldn't help but push Adriana Lima next to her.
"Lima, Lima. Adriana!"
She screamed quietly.
But Adriana Lima didn't react, she was still sleeping.
Lima is a little older and has a better body.
The appearance has also grown completely.
There was also a little more fire tonight.
It's a little more tiring.
Karolina Kokuva couldn't wake Lima.
This made my heart go sideways, and I secretly pinched it.
Adriana Lima then snorted, and then opened the beautiful wolf eyes.
"Do what?" Adriana Lima frowned and looked at Kยท Kใ
Karolina Kokuva said innocently:
"Didn't do anything. It's just Adriana, it's three o'clock in the afternoon."
"I remember we had four o'clock today, and we had a catwalk in Brooklyn."
"You think you're still there
Can you walk the catwalk?"
Adriana Lima is noticeably quicker to wake up than Carolina Kokuva.
"Don't talk about catwalks. I don't think I can even walk now! Today's show is gone!"
"But that would be a violation of the contract and the company's rules." Karolina Kokuva said worriedly.
This is also the reason why Carolina Kokuva will want to wake Adriana Lima in the first place when she wakes up.
One thing to say, Isa's contract is still very strict.
"Huh~"
Nineteen-year-old Adriana Lima sneered.
"I don't think Michael Levine is going to get us in trouble because of this."
"You know, he was the one who sent us to this bed last night!"
