The day after Hall's return to New York, Sony North America officially offered Coca-Cola an acquisition.

Immediately afterwards, Herbert Jr. regained his strength and rushed to New York with Columbia Pictures Chairman Victor Kaufman to meet and talk with Schulhoff again.

In mid-November, Columbia Pictures President Lou Corman publicly called for an impromptu general meeting of shareholders to approve the proposal. Columbia Pictures belongs only to the United States, to every American citizen.

The cover of the latest issue features the Columbia Pictures logo, in which the sculptural girl is dressed in a Japanese kimono with the caption: "Japan Invades Hollywood!" ”

Public opinion was completely detonated, and the anti-Japanese sentiment of the people reached its peak, and the Hollywood trade union organized a street demonstration of hundreds of people.

Sony, Coca-Cola, Herbert Jr., and the three parties were silent about this, and did not make any public response, but silently accelerated the negotiations.

At the end of November, when all parties were caught in a strange tacit understanding, a statement about the new victorious president that did not distinguish between truth and falsehood once again intensified the conflict.

"Only when Hirohito is dead will I consider forgiving the neon people for what they did!"

The people know that the new Grand Commander had participated in the attack on Neon Territory in the Second War, he was almost captured, and five of his comrades were eaten by Neon Devils!

At present, the neon war criminal emperor Hirohito is rumored to be suffering from cancer and dying soon.

Therefore, is the new commander-in-chief's untrue remarks a political statement, or are they from personal feelings?

Under pressure, Columbia Pictures and The Coca-Cola Company jointly issued a public statement saying that they would seriously consider the acquisition, including the plan.

Sony remained silent and did not respond.

On the weekend of the first week of December, Koeman attended a high-profile reception to celebrate the start of the filming, answered all questions from the media, and shouted to Hugo Hall, an English senator in New York, to "show his love": "You are the most respected white knight of Columbia Pictures, Hollywood, and even the entire American people." ”

Meanwhile, New York, Columbia University Library.

Hall is staying up late with his classmates to revise and concentrate on preparing for the final exam week.

"Thank God, there's nothing that makes me happier than having a hearty and delicious supper delivered on time every night, delivered by a beautiful Hollywood actress."

Danielle, a classmate of Little Black, stretched his waist and looked in the direction of the door and said.

Hall raised his head and closed the pen, and said in a smug tone: "The last meal, I won't be able to enjoy it tomorrow." ”

"You can enjoy it forever, for as long as you want."

Jennifer Connelly stepped closer, took off her scarf and took a breath of cold air, sat down in her chair and tucked her cold hands into his sweatshirt pockets.

Hall held a pair of white and tender hands, and said helplessly: "That's not good, the whole crew is waiting for you, Coman is going crazy." ”

"But the official filming will only start after the New Year, and I want to wait for you to go to London together on vacation." Connelly wrinkled the bridge of his nose coquettishly.

On the side, Danielle skillfully ignored the greasy and crooked two people in front of him, and opened the supper package by himself, coffee, desserts, and staple foods were all available, and he liked one of the sushi roll desserts very much.

It's a pity that the muscular roommate Mark is clamoring to resist the invasion of neon culture and not let everyone eat it, and the sushi roll is a private creative dish of Hugo's home chef, and there is no similar one on the market.

"Fluttering."

Danielle was thinking to himself when a figure sat up abruptly on two tables side by side in the shadows not far away.

The figure rolled over and fell to the ground, sleepy-eyed and breathless, and said, "I smell the smell of steak and the sour smell of love." ”

"Mark, are you really revising, why do I see you sleeping every time I come?"

Connelly was not shy, and generously snuggled up in Hall's arms and replied.

Mark rubbed his eyes and waved his finger around, "If you light up the whole library right now, you'll see all sorts of strange sleeping positions." Not everyone is like Hall, who is well taken care of by his girlfriend, and can still maintain a regular routine during exam week, and I haven't left this library for three days! ”

Because of the unique "core curriculum" teaching system, Columbia University has a lot of pressure to study in the first and second years, and every exam week, students are abused to the point of collapse.

It's not too common to stay in the library all night, sleep sleepily for a while, and wake up to continue studying.

Even a guy like Hall who received an elite education from an aristocratic private school in a middle school would have a hard time coping with it unless he was lying flat and messing around.

"I have to say that I like your explanation, it's more important than studying your body, and when you graduate, I'll hire you as a private investment consultant!" Connery promised.

In the month since she returned to New York from Los Angeles, she has almost completely integrated into Hall's life circle, and the muscular classmate in front of her has helped a lot intentionally or unintentionally, so she looks at each other very pleasantly.

Mark casually wrapped a napkin in his hand and picked up a piece of steak and stuffed it into his mouth, muttering disapprerovitously: "Thank you very much, we are CC Academy, we are all men like lions!" I'm just envious of Hugo, and I'm not trying to please you. ”

"Oh, Jennifer, you should say you can help him date Debbie Gibson." Little Black Danielle teased from the side.

“…… Don't be like this, Daniel, don't you envy Hugo? Damn, how can this guy have a Hollywood star girlfriend, not only beautiful, gentle and understanding, but most importantly, he loves him so much! In addition to inheriting hundreds of millions of family wealth, aristocratic status, and being able to make a lot of money, what advantages does he have?! ”

Danielle was stunned for a moment, and after pondering for a long time, he gritted his teeth and said, "Thinking about it like this, this guy is really damned!" ”

Connery laughed so hard that his stomach hurt because he was afraid of disturbing the other revisioners, so he took a bite of the pizza and gagged it, and then fed the remaining half of the piece into Hall's mouth.

Hall hugged her and smiled silently, quietly enjoying the coquettishness of the little lover and the envy of the two classmates and friends.

According to common sense, as a big man who can stir up the storm on Wall Street, you shouldn't enjoy such small things; However, as a young man, he has the right to satisfy a little vanity because of the little trivialities in life.

After all, pretending is a very important part of the spiritual self-worth of a decent person......

It's just that it has to be done in moderation, and Connery has to go to Los Angeles.

After returning to New York from Los Angeles, he did not have any contact with Koeman, and the other party shouted through the media to the extreme, and he had to come to the platform as soon as possible.

This proves that Coman seems to be in a good situation, but the actual situation is particularly urgent, and it is urgent to take out this movie with an investment of 50 million to appease people's hearts and create a new round of public opinion attack.

Public opinion is the only dominant card in his hand.

Hall intends to take advantage of the situation to help him once, which will help him reap more benefits personally.

With the blessing of public opinion, it is easier for Brandon to seek to intervene in the shares of the cAA brokerage company, and it is also convenient for him to bargain when he successfully sits on the ground and shares accounts with Buffett.
