In fact, Columbia Pictures is not only one of the giants in the field of film, but also controls the thunder and lightning in the field of television broadcasting, producing tens of thousands of episodes of TV shows.

These include the hottest variety shows and series at the moment, which means that it can be called a monopoly-level media power.

Early the morning after Hall's arrival in Los Angeles, he was unsurprisingly seen on the local morning news television channel, where the host and guest finance professor chatted about the possibility of Sony or Raiden competing to buy Columbia Pictures.

turned on the radio station, a personal hip-hop music appreciation show, and two guys full of black slang even exaggerated and threatened:

"Hugo Hall, remember this guy's name, he has the Order of the Bath! Houli crab, family, he is a member of the Knights, and he came to Hollywood to play the white knight, do you know what a white knight is?! My brother told me that Wall Street's 'white knight' is the exclusive title of the rich and righteous, the savior......"

Hall yawned, contented, and turned off the TV and radio.

The goal of this trip to Los Angeles is 50% completed, and the remaining half depends on whether Lou Coman is greedy and whether Warren Buffett is not strong.

At this time, Sony became the biggest victim, and it took a detour to buy Coca-Cola. If you have to buy Columbia Pictures directly, it will confirm the conspiracy theory that foreign capital controls the "high ground of public opinion" in the United States.

It is inevitable to hold several congressional hearings and face unbearable legal compliance lawsuits.

If Buffett has such a huge advantage, he can't lead Sony into the game, don't play, just honestly nest on Wall Street to do value investment and wear the title of stock god, speculation is not suitable for him!

"Ahh

Suddenly there was a scream from the bedroom.

Hall hurriedly ran in without knowing the situation, only to see Connery leaning against the head of the bed with the quilt on his chest to support his upper body, looking frightened and a little dazed.

Next to the bed stood a cleaner in a hotel work uniform, his hands hanging low and nervously wringing a rag.

"What's going on?" He asked, confused.

Connelly rubbed his eyes and said in disbelief: "Trash can, I opened my eyes just to see her secretly rummaging through the trash can and putting Nadong xZ in her pocket?!" ”

"No, I didn't, sir, I just changed the garbage bags according to the rules, I didn't do anything!" The cleaner's argument was unconvincing.

Hall glanced at the trash can, frowned and asked, "What the hell is it?" I don't have to worry about you, if you are honest. ”

“…… Sorry sir, I don't want to lose my job...... I was just in trouble and a little impulsive, and I couldn't control my emotions......"

With tears in his eyes, the cleaner took out a few small used balloons from his jacket pocket, and the remaining milky white sticky was unusually dazzling.

Halton's hair stood on end and his waist was cold, he took a deep breath slowly, gritted his teeth and said a word: "Shit!" ”

Half an hour later, Brandon and Lukka were standing guard at the door of the room and heard a fierce shouting coming from inside, and they looked at each other a little dumbfounded.

Who would have thought that a cleaner who won the best employee award would be impulsive and wanted to imitate a certain colleague who met a drunken seventy-year-old white rich old man who secretly gained a large fortune by artificially inseminating and giving birth to a child.

As the head of the security team, Luca felt that the accident was not his fault. But the impact of this incident on the boss is comparable to a horror story, and the psychological shadow area is full.

So the innocent him and Brandon still have to carry the black pot half of the way after all, after all, the little boss can't be blamed......

“…… Okay Aunt Caroline, I know you've been too busy lately to help me personally, but I need someone of my own, even if it's Aunt Susan, the family's pastry chef! ”

The conversation in the room ended with such a sentence, and Hall angrily threw down the phone and paced back and forth with his hands on his waist.

He was not interested in blaming Luca or Brandon, but immediately understood why his old mother even had to accompany the maid every time she went out of the house.

I originally thought it was a simple arrangement, but now it seems to be very practical!

So I immediately called Aunt Caroline, asking her to come to her side for a while to help, at least to help find a reliable living servant.

However, the British side is about to hold an end-of-year parliament, and after the passage of the National Enterprise Reform Bill, it will be able to divide the previously determined cake, and make a lot of money by selling the technology of British steel companies, and expect tens of millions of pounds in profits.

Helena is full of motivation and is busy with the progress of the transaction, planning to use the proceeds to buy a private business jet for her son, and Aunt Caroline naturally can't get out.

"Hugo, don't be angry, relax, Brandon and they're still waiting for you outside."

Connelly was not in a good mood either, and carefully reminded him as he curled his legs in the couch with a blanket.

Hall picked up a bottle of ice water and poured a large sip, barely calmed down, and asked after a little thought: "When will the Nabiske acquisition project end, give me an accurate time." ”

"Wait a minute."

Cheng Chen, who was sitting next to Connery, quickly stood up, took out a notepad and found the record, "We have been following up on the progress of the acquisition process, and it will end in the middle of next month." According to the payment settlement agreement in the acquisition agreement and the actual tax enforcement issues, Hall Family Office will receive the investment income by January next year at the latest......"

"I went to negotiate with the special shareholders' meeting in Nabisque, and they promised me that my personal bonus would be cashed in the middle of next month, and that the investment income would be urged to go for it as soon as possible."

Hall began to pace in circles again, calculating the ledger in his head.

During the beginning of the school year, he had more than 30 million working capital in his hands, bought two pieces of land, a manor on Long Island, and spent nearly half of it on his collection of antiques.

These assets are in the name of the family office.

The subsequent acquisition of Raiden Pictures is a signboard, including the upfront payment for cooperating with Columbia Pictures to invest in the film, and he personally injected 10 million yuan.

After some operation, he currently only has a few million liquidity, which is enough as an emergency fund, and it is far from enough to be a rival with Sony as a spoiler.

I just learned from the phone that the old mother can get the money back quickly by selling the technology, and if necessary, he can borrow funds for emergencies, which is a surprise.

"You two go to breakfast first, eat in the hotel, don't go out. Nancy, you're in charge of taking care of Jennifer today. ”

Hall said to Cheng Chen after settling the account, he always felt that there were Diao people who wanted to harm me in his current stress reaction.

After Connelly and the two left, Luca walked into the room with a serious expression and said politely, "I found the trash can from yesterday afternoon, and I'm sure I haven't touched it."

"I checked again, on a year-by-year cycle, and checked every hotel room I stayed in. Shit, you know what, I'm so scared right now that I suddenly have an extra child. ”

Hall kicked the coffee table viciously and sat down on the couch.

Lukka shrugged helplessly and said, "That Lady Winona Ryder just got up in the next room, she was drunk last night, and Brandon thoughtfully arranged a room for her. ”

“…… Luca, are you listening to what I'm saying? Hall's face flushed.

"I mean we used to be wary of this kind of thing, and what just happened was very, very rare and unexpected. I'll do everything I can to find out, but you can't overreact. ”

Lukka paused slightly, his expression indescribably wrinkled, and continued: "Honestly, I was surprised that you would take safety measures, you don't like children? ”
