"Have you waited a long time?"

Abel seemed to finally see Harvey Weinstein.

He swam up to the fat man and smiled.

"No, no." Harvey Waynes hurriedly said:

"Not for long, just a little at most."

Abel smiled and said, "But I see that you are sweating a lot, and it should be a long time to wait."

Harvey Weinstein quickly wiped the sweat from his face and continued to lick his face and smile:

"Because I'm fat, I usually like to sweat when I have nothing to do. It really didn't take long."

Look at the fat man so deferential.

Abel let Harvey Weinstein go and pointed to the pergola under the tree not far away—

"Go sit over there. I'll be here later."

Harvey Weinstein breathed a sigh of relief, but his face didn't show it at all, and he didn't really go to the shade, but still stood by the pool and looked at Abel with a smile.

Abel came up from the pool, and Harvey Weinstein even wanted to get a towel and wipe the water for Abel.

The staff of Rock Security, naturally, will not let Harvey Weinstein succeed.

There were two female bodyguards, holding bath towels and towels, and came over to wipe Abel's body.

Abel didn't even have to use his hands, he was more fish than the king, and beckoned Harvey Weinstein as he walked towards the pergola.

By the time he reached the pergola, Abel had been wiped dry.

"Sit down." Able pointed to the stool in front of him, "Look at how much sweat you've shed. What do you want to drink?"

Harvey Weinstein sat down respectfully and said softly:

"If you can, please give me a glass of water."

"Smack~"

Abel snapped his fingers and said to Doni, who was still wiping her hair, "Someone bring two glasses of water."

Doni nodded, giving the other female bodyguard a look.

The female bodyguard hurriedly went to prepare.

Abel struck up a conversation with Harvey Weinstein.

"Let you come here so early." Abel said:

"I want to know how the copyright company, the Rottweiler company, is progressing?"

At the end of April, Abel gave Harvey Weinstein a task.

He had Harvey Weinstein and a member of his advisory board named George Williams, a senior CPA who had previously worked at PricewaterhouseCoopers.

Abel asked the two to register a copyright company in Los Angeles, and the name of the company was Rottweiler.

&o is the image of Abel's two-and-a-half-large Rottweiler.

The company started with $200 million. The goal is to acquire all kinds of IP copyrights that can be acquired in the market.

It's been almost two months.

George Williams, for his part, has actually been in contact with the company's senior advisory group.

The progress of the Rottweiler Copyright Company, as well as the number and details of the acquired copyrights, are sent to the core of the advisory group through internal email.

The advisory group has a very clear understanding of the situation of the copyright company.

If Abel really wants to know, he only needs to ask Alan Baker to report it.

Harvey Weinstein was deliberately asked to come, just to toss this fat man.

The main thing is that Harvey Weinstein didn't make a very good impression of Abel.

Abel has a negative label in his heart for this famous fat man in Hollywood.

「BOSS。」 Harvey Weinstein had the audacity to scream, seeing that Abel had no objection to his title.

Harvey Weinstein was so happy that he immediately reported:

"BOSS, so far, your faithful copyright hyena has captured 11 high-quality copyrights for you. In addition, I am in talks with 15 companies and individuals to buy their copyrights."

These Abel actually knew that he was

I've read George Williams' e-mail job briefing.

Harvey Weinstein is indeed very capable of action, and he is worthy of being a guy who can make a splash in Hollywood by relying on his own ability.

However, the IPs currently acquired by Rottweiler are generally not of high value.

The most expensive one is only a popular toy IP in the United States.

It's not a Transformer, it's a world-class IP, and the parent company is still a giant like Hasbro.

How could it be so simple for Harvey Weinstein to get his hands on it.

It can be said that there are achievements, but they are a little far from what Abel envisioned.

"Is it possible to get the Transformers?" Abel suddenly said to Harvey Weinstein.

"Transformers?" Harvey Weinstein said in surprise.

During this period, Hollywood's Transformers movies had not yet appeared.

At this time, Transformers is the general name of toy products and related comics, animations, movies and a series of peripheral products jointly developed by Hasbro and Neon TAKARA since 1984.

Now it is copyrighted and belongs to Hasbro.

Hasbro is a large game company in the United States and the second-largest toy manufacturer in the world, after Mattel.

「BOSS。 I'm afraid it's going to be hard." Harvey Weinstein was embarrassed and said:

"Transformers is one of Hasbro's most important core rights, and it's unlikely that it will be sold. But if you need it, I can try to get in touch with Hasbro and see if I can get permission from Hasbro."

In many cases, it is not that without copyright, the product of the IP cannot be released.

As long as you can get the permission of the IP owner, that is, the copyright owner, you can also sell the products created by the other party's IP.

That is, you must give the other party a license fee, or a share, or the license fee and the share are all required.

The "Transformers" movie in parallel time and space is the work of Paramount Movies and DreamWorks, which can only be filmed after Hasbro gets the film adaptation rights.

These Abel actually understand.

"Let's get in touch." Abel said, "If you are willing to sell, you will sell, and if you will not sell; I'm looking for an opportunity to buy Hasbro!"

Although Harvey Weinstein felt very embarrassed when he heard Abel's previous words, he could probably try to see if he could succeed.

But Abel later said that if the acquisition of the copyright failed, he would have to buy someone else's company.

Harvey Weinstein was a little staggered when he heard it.

"That's right." Abel spoke again:

"Your job at Rottweiler. I am very satisfied. Harvey, do you think you can take on more work, or more responsibility?"

Harvey Weinstein was stunned for a moment, then ecstatic in his heart.

What does it mean to have more work and more responsibility?

It's about giving yourself more power!

Harvey Weinstein, who was extremely smart, immediately bent down and nodded to Abel like a servant—

"Dear boss, no matter what it is, I'm here to help!"

Joke.

Who wouldn't want to work for Abel Smith in Hollywood, or even in the American entertainment industry these days?

There was Michael Levine who climbed to the sky in one step.

From a senior partner of an AA company, he became the president of Smith Media (not the CEO, there are several presidents).

Later, there was Robert Iger, one of Disney's former middle and senior executives, who became the CEO of Smith Media.

These two positions are big names in the entire American entertainment industry.

In Hollywood, it's a first-class giant.

There are many other people who have worked with Smith Media who have received tremendous benefits and benefits.

In a short period of time, Abel acquired MGM, Marvel, Dark Horse, DreamWorks and Pixar.

In less than a year, such a new supergiant was created in Hollywood.

The opportunity to work for such a supertycoon.

It is now the whole Hollywood, and even the entire American entertainment industry, everyone is grabbing their heads.

was in charge of Rottweiler Company for Abel before, and Harvey Weinstein cherished it very much.

If he could go further, Harvey Weinstein certainly couldn't ask for it.

Looking at Harvey Weinstein's deferential appearance, Abel said with satisfaction:

"Everyone in Hollywood says Harvey Weinstein is the best friend of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences."

"Harvey, tell me, is this true?"

Harvey Weinstein was stunned, this clever fellow, and immediately realized what Abel had asked him to do, what it might be.

At this time, the bodyguard brought the ice water, Abel took one glass, and Harvey Weinstein respectfully took the other.

Harvey Weinstein took a sip of ice water and let the icy temperature cool himself.

After thinking about it, Harvey Weinstein said, "It's all just rumors. But I do enjoy dealing with these old men."

"Of course." The fat man gave Abel an expression, "Look at the invitations to all kinds of small internal parties, as well as the funding slips of various foundations. The old guys also like me a lot, and they like the things I like a lot of the time, such as. Some Hollywood movies."

"Hahaha~"

Harvey Weinstein said these words in a very witty tone and with a funny expression.

This look made Abel couldn't help but laugh.

Harvey Weinstein saw the way Abel laughed, and the fat man was even happier.

Harvey just said this on purpose, just to make Abel happy.

Many times, in order to achieve the goal, Harvey Weinstein can easily put down his body.

Including sycophancy, as well as being funny like a clown.

Abel sighed at the cleverness of this guy, and he just said it.

The fat man thought about what he wanted.

"Still at the Rottweiler Company." Abel said:

"But it will give you higher authority. On the Smith Media side, you can also mobilize resources from the management side after obtaining the permission of the management at the president level and above."

After saying these words, Abel looked at Harvey Weinstein:

"But you know. Efforts must be rewarded. Harvey, I'm sure you, who have been working in Hollywood for so many years, know this very well and know it very well."

Harvey Weinstein, who was in ecstasy, heard Abel's last words, and the fat man's heart suddenly tightened.

Harvey Weinstein nodded hurriedly:

"BOSS, I SEE WHAT YOU MEAN. Trust me, I'll be very careful. I'll make you happy."

"That's good." Abel smiled, "I'll have someone hand over the relevant notice to George Williams right away." Go work for me, Harvey. Your hard work will reward you with satisfaction."

Harvey Weinstein licked and laughed and left full of joy and ambition.

After he left, Abel thought about it and asked someone to bring the phone.

He made a phone call to Robert Iger, the CEO of Smith Media.

On the phone, Abel tells Robert about Harvey Weinstein.

After listening to this, Robert said with some hesitation on the other side of the phone:

「BOSS。 This guy is really very capable. But this guy behaves very inappropriately."

"I understand your concerns." Abel held his phone and said:

"That's why I've sent men to watch him. As long as he can do something good for us, and that's manageable, I think he's a good weapon against the old guys at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences."

"Indeed." Robert agrees.

Harvey Weinstein is smart and smart, and the key is that he can put his body down.

can use other filmmakers or entertainment tycoons, unwilling to lick people unwillingly.

You can use all kinds of methods to make the old guys at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences happy and obedient.

That's enough.

Smith Media's entertainment company, mainly MGM series, needs such a promoter internally.

Robert also understands this, but is a little worried that his boss will be blinded by Harvey Weinstein's powerful sycophancy.

Now I see that the boss is very sober, and I also know what kind of person Harvey Weinstein is.

Robert was relieved.

For what Abel explained, it is naturally no problem to provide Harvey Weinstein with some resources and help when necessary.

After all, if you want the horse to run, you can't help but give the horse grazing.

Although Harvey Weinstein is capable, he does not have follow-up resources to support and help, and it is difficult for a fat woman to cook without rice.

After hanging up the phone, Abel looked at the time, and it was less than ten o'clock in the morning.

The sun is already a little hot at 10 o'clock in the morning in California in June.

Sunshine California, California Sunshine, Los Angeles is this weather for most of the year.

Abel went back to the house to change clothes, and saw that Li Fuzhen was still lying lazy on Simmons and didn't wake up.

He flipped over the quilt and wanted to get on the horse.

When I opened it, I found that the place where the horse had been injected was swollen.

It is estimated that the skin will be broken again.

He let Li Fuzhen go.

After changing into a decent casual outfit, Abel asked Doni and a few other bodyguards to stay and take care of Li Fuzhen.

At ten o'clock sharp, Abel left 9425 Sunset Avenue in Beverly Hills.

Hop aboard a Gulfstream G400 at Los Angeles International Airport and target San Francisco International Airport in the Bay Area, also known as the San Francisco Market.

California's two most economically developed cities are thousands of miles apart.

It takes about one to two hours to get to sea by plane.

Before 12 p.m.

The plane landed at San Francisco International Airport.

An hour later, Abel reappeared in Palo Alto.

It can be said that in addition to New York, Tesla here is the most coming.

Next to Google, which is now more powerful and will be equally important in the future, he didn't pay so much attention to it.

The big boss is coming over, and of course Tesla has already received the news.

The company's CEO, Jackster Cage, came out to greet him early.

Hans, the chief technology officer, didn't come out, and the old white man took people to Asia to investigate technology.

In this period, the world's research on the cutting-edge technology of lithium batteries, the United States is not bad.

But when it comes to specific applications and production, it's even more powerful in Asia.

Especially the neon people, at this time they have the most lithium battery patent technology.

Abel's Tesla, too, has planned to research cheaper lithium iron carbonate from the beginning.

Otherwise, in this period, if Tesla Energy wants to have its own battery technology, it is estimated that it can only spend money to buy the patented lithium battery technology of the neon cabinet.

Professor Hans and the team were not there, so Abel chatted with Jackster Cage and went into the company to have a look.

It didn't take long for him to leave Tesla's new energy company.

By the way, I went to Google next to it and looked at it.

Last month, Google again rejected Yahoo's offer to buy it.

Yahoo, the licking dog who has been gentle with Google for almost half a year, found that the "goddess" rejected her again, and her attitude was very resolute.

Licking the dog was so angry that he removed the Google search engine from his portal in early June.

This makes Google in the U.S. market as high as 80%

The share of the left and right fell to about 62% all of a sudden, and the losses were heavy.

But the two founders and shareholders are resolute and unwilling to take a step back.

Seeing that there is no hope of a real acquisition, Yahoo has decided to restart its own search engine research once again.

It's just that it's doomed to be in vain.

After the bursting of the dot-com bubble, Yahoo did not change the management in the case.

It is likely to embark on the same path of depravity as in its previous life.

At Google, Abel was naturally warmly welcomed.

The two co-founders, although they have been muttering about his high share share.

It's just that under Abel's power and decentralization, they don't dare to do anything.

Google Inc. is currently operating well.

Even if you are kicked like this by Yahoo, the impact is actually not big.

The 37 law of the Internet has appeared in Google.

The 37 law of the Internet refers to the time when the head company occupies about 70% of the market share in a certain track of the Internet.

The company with the second largest market share usually has the remaining 70% of the share, which is about 20% of the total market share.

The remaining competitors will only be able to carve up the last 10% of the share.

Once this pattern is formed, basically the competition on this track is over, and it is difficult for other participants to achieve a counterattack.

In the search engine industry in the United States, this is already the case.

Even if Yahoo stabs in the back, it's hard to change that.

In the case of Schmidt's earlier than in parallel time and space, he came to work at Google.

The development and situation of Google does not need to be concerned about Abel at all.

The two co-founders wanted to discuss with him and wanted to launch another round of financing.

These two guys have a good mouth.

He said that the purpose of financing was to get more money to cope with Yahoo's betrayal and the need to continue to expand the market.

Abel knew what they were thinking.

The two co-founders want to diversify Abel's shares through financing and bringing in more shareholders and funds.

Abel agreed.

He raised the new valuation to a level that even the two co-founders found outrageous.

The two co-founders wanted to protest, but Abel directly said, "If you don't like it, then according to this valuation, I will continue to increase my capital?"

With this sentence in place, Larry and Perry, they had to stop for a while.

Around three o'clock in the afternoon.

Abel left Google and flew non-stop to the city of San Diego.

It's been more than a month.

He came here to visit the results of Pacific Energy's internal integration.

Like Tesla, this company is also one of the most important and important cores for him.

The latter one is a little later, so you don't have to wait, you can watch it together tomorrow. The three children take turns to catch a cold, and the problem is not very problematic
