After coming out of Universal Pictures, it was already 9 o'clock in the evening, Chu Xiangqian did not rush back to the ranch, but took Fei Fei to stay in a hotel.

I promised before to find a chance to take her out alone.

This time I flew to Los Angeles, and I simply took Fei Fei with me, and ten or eight days before and after were enough to take Fei Fei to visit several famous scenic spots in the western part of the country.

As for Margaret, I'll wait until Miss Millie is officially released.

At night, Fei Fei, who leaned on Chu Xiangqian's arms and looked at the lights of Los Angeles City in the distance, the only thought in her heart was that she was definitely the happiest woman in the world.

Not long after, Fei Fei turned around and put her arms around Chu Xiangqian's neck, stood on tiptoe and whispered something in Chu Xiangqian's ear.

"Husband, let's go wash up and go to bed early, so as not to delay business tomorrow."

Chu Xiangqian smiled, picked up Fei Fei and went to the bathroom, and soon there was a singing sound of 'babbling' inside.

Chu Xiangqian was busy enjoying himself, and the 20 reporters who followed him to Los Angeles, the film company employees were so busy that they didn't even have time to sleep.

In order to expand the popularity of Miss Millie's movie, Chu Xiangqian thought of a lot of ways, but finally decided to play a flash mob.

first had a 5-minute singing and dancing in Los Angeles, and after the dance, the main actors and dancers in the crew did not hesitate to split their heads and flash all the heads.

This kind of novelty will definitely attract countless young people.

Waiting for the official release of Miss Millie in 5 days, it will be neither early nor late, and it should be able to attract people who have been attracted by the flash mob event in recent days to the cinema.

At 8 o'clock the next morning, in the square of the most prosperous business district in Los Angeles, the main cast of Miss Millie, plus more than two dozen dancers, suddenly lined up in the square.

Then the music sounded, and the procession of nearly thirty people had already attracted the attention of the people in the square who were rushing to work.

Now dancing together, even if someone is almost late, they subconsciously slow down, or simply stand still and look at the dancing team.

5 minutes later, as soon as the time came, the crew immediately dispersed in all directions.

Not to mention ordinary people, even the police are blinded.

And if you really want to arrest people, the current laws and regulations are really not necessarily useful.

In the afternoon, in the top 10 big cities in California, there are people playing in crowded places and jumping and leaving.

Early the next morning, not only the media in California were reporting, but dozens of media outlets in the United States, large and small, received an envelope.

There are not only photographs, but also articles detailing and reporting on the event.

In other words, photos and articles can be published directly in the newspaper.

Insiders know at a glance that this is premeditated propaganda, but the editor-in-chief of the newspaper also knows that if he does not report it, he will fall behind other newspapers.

Except for a few old diehards, the newspapers that received the envelopes were basically reporting the flash mob.

After 4 days, in addition to the dancers that Chu Xiangqian spent money on, he also asked people to go to high school or college, and organized high school students and college students to play flash mobs.

At the beginning, the 20 reporters who followed Chu Qianqian, or the employees of the film company, still needed to spend some money to attract high school and college students.

But when it came to the same school, there were teams playing flash mobs.

Others, don't have to spend money to buy, they just feel that this kind of limelight is that they can't lag behind others, and many classes or clubs have begun to spontaneously organize people to jump outside the school.

When Miss Millie was officially released in Quanmg, a reporter soon discovered that the team that played the flash mob in the newspaper for the first time was actually the protagonists and dancers in the movie.

As soon as the news was released, it immediately attracted a large number of young people to the cinema.

In Chu Xiangqian's eyes, this movie is not interesting at all, but in the eyes of people in this era, the film is quite well-made.

The plot and actors' performance is also good, otherwise, the senior management of Universal Pictures would not have predicted that the box office would exceed 10 million.

On the first day of its release in all magnesium 800 theaters, it grossed more than $750,000.

The single museum is 937.5 US dollars, which is not a good performance, but it also breaks the record for the opening of singing and dancing movies.

The box office exceeded 800,000 the next day, and in terms of theaters, I immediately felt that the number of movie theaters released would increase to 1,500.

According to this trend, the box office in the first month is likely to exceed 20 million.

After two or three months of release, it is possible that the box office will exceed 30 or 40 million.

Not only were Decca Records and Mikoku Music ecstatic, but even the attitude of Universal Pictures towards Chu Xiangqian instantly became respectful.

He Guanchang, Wrinkle Huai and the status of the behind-the-scenes staff on Hong Kong Island have also been raised by several levels.

For Hollywood actors and behind-the-scenes, as long as the movies they participate in can explode, their future income and fame can skyrocket.

Under this premise, skin color, ideas, and the like are not a problem at all.

——

On this day, Chu Xiangqian was having lunch with Fei Fei in a French restaurant in Santa Barbara County, when Zhang Tianzhi suddenly walked over quickly, and whispered in his ear, "Boss, Her Royal Highness Margaret has arrived at the ranch. ”

Chu Xiangqian was stunned for a moment, and said that he would only arrive tomorrow, why did he advance it by a day?

Chu Xiangqian, who was worried that something had happened, could only finish lunch in a hurry and take Fei Fei to the ranch.

But when he arrived at the ranch and saw Margaret throw herself into his arms with a surprised expression, Chu Xiangqian knew that it was definitely not an accident.

Maybe it's just that this chick can't wait and wants to see herself early, so she flew over a day early.

As for Fei Fei, Margaret already knew about her existence when she was on Hong Kong Island.

Since he acquiesced to Fei Fei and continued to follow Chu Xiangqian's side, he would not object now.

even took the initiative to woo Fei Fei, the purpose was nothing more than to form a gang, or to know more about Chu Xiangqian's affairs on Hong Kong Island.

Before the luggage was packed at noon, Margaret impatiently pulled Chu Xiangqian to take a nap with her.

It is said that it is to make up for sleep, but in fact, it is naturally a lack of cleanup.

In just half an hour, Margaret was defeated, and in the end she had to ask Fifi for help.

Although Fei Fei was embarrassed at first, when it came time to sing, her mind was all about singing.

Not to mention, this kind of relationship between comrades-in-arms is really easy to promote the relationship between each other.

At dinner in the evening, Margaret had already taken the initiative to let Fei Fei sit beside her, and during the meal, she did not forget to chat with Fei Fei from time to time.

Early the next morning, Chu Xiangqian called Kumiko, "Inform Matsuno that the business with the mafia continues." ”

Money, Chu Xiangqian is actually not short now, but the food supply cannot be interrupted.

Kumiko nodded hurriedly and went to call, and Chu Xiangqian then called the lawyer of Coopers.

Ask about Frank Abana Jr. after he was extradited back to his country.

Because there is no direct evidence that Frank Abanel Jr. made fake checks. The prosecutor in charge of his case could only sue him for fraud, illegal use of fake checks, and illegal entry and exit.

The first two can still be argued, but there is no way to enter and exit illegally.

In other words, even if Frank Jr. denies all the charges, he can't get away with it.

This also gave the prosecution enough reason to keep Frank Jr. in custody. Then slowly look for new evidence.

But it's not impossible.

The banks don't care how many years Frank Jr. is sentenced, they are most concerned about how to identify fake checks, how to make checks, and how to make checks that are more difficult to counterfeit.

In order not to go to prison, little Frank is still worried about what Chu Xiangqian said before, a business that can make a lot of money.

After being persuaded by his lawyer, he took the initiative to ask his lawyer and prosecutor to talk about how to reduce his sentence and even not go to jail.

Chu Xiangqian couldn't help but laugh after listening to the lawyer's hint.

When Matsuno sent $10 million to the ranch, Chu told him to inform Frank and help find some fake checks.

As long as fake checks are rampant again in the short term, in order to find the counterfeiters and identify the fake checks more quickly, the prosecutor and the bank will be more willing to settle with Frank Jr.

The next day, Chu drove forward and headed south.

When we were about to reach the border, we changed horses and crossed the border and flew a small plane in Tijuana City to Panama City.

There have been several transactions, and the handover process is getting smoother and smoother.

Chicago's mafia Sr. Frank, with $10 million in cash, went to the beach house and handed it over to Pablo's cousin Gustavo.

Chu Xiangqian took away a full 100,000 tons of wheat from the warehouse area.

100,000 tons is equal to 200 million catties, enough for 200 million people to eat for a day, if it is replaced around the capital, these 200 million catties are enough for 7 million people to eat for a month.

In addition to the 363,000 tons of wheat and 40,000 tons of corn obtained at the end of November, there will basically be no shortage of grain in Beijing and several provinces around Beijing in the next three to five months.

Chu Xiangqian can also be regarded as a living person, and his merits are immeasurable.

It's a pity that Pablo wants to buy more grain from South America to offset the cost of transporting the money out of the country.

But Colombia itself is not a big grain producer, and if you buy it from Brazil, it will cost you tens of cents a bushel.

This time Pablo only transported 30,000 tons of wheat, and finally had to turn to old Frank for help.

Or, let Chu Xiangqian transport 20 million US dollars to Panama City, and directly pay Chu Qianqian 6 million commission.

But old Frank was moved, since Pablo and his cousin Gustavo did not have the ability, they got a lot of food.

Just because they can't do this business doesn't mean the Chicago mafia can't do it.

$6 million is enough to buy 164,000 tons of wheat.

0.3 of 6 million is 1.8 million US dollars, which is almost equal to 5 tons of wheat.

Old Frank was able to earn two or three hundred thousand dollars as pocket money.

This was not difficult for Frank Sr. at all, even to avoid being noticed by agencies like the FBI.

Frank Sr. has recently been reaching out to farmers in Canada.

As long as the wheat is bought, loaded and shipped to the port in the south of the country, there is no need to change ships, and after buying the customs at the wharf, it can be shipped directly out of the port and shipped to Panama City.

There won't even be a record of it.

Chu Xiangqian helped Pablo transport 20 million US dollars from the country again, and this time Pablo only had 30,000 tons of wheat in his hands.

After deducting 1 million, Chu Xiangqian directly took away 5 million cash.

For Pablo and Gustavo, the $5 million cash was like cutting flesh at them.

It's not that they are reluctant to get 5 million, but in the hearts of the Pablo brothers, the cash that could have been 20 million has now become 15 million.

Chu Xiangqian didn't care so much, packed 30,000 tons of grain into the warehouse of the novice village, and immediately flew back to Tijuana, crossed the border, and then drove back to the pasture.

At this time, it was already February 8th, and there was only one week left before the Chinese New Year.

Chu Xiangqian accompanied his master, his mother, and his uncle to celebrate the New Year, and began to prepare things, planning to fly back to the capital.

Margaret wanted to follow, but Chu Xiangqian refused without thinking about it this time.

Margaret actually knew that even if she went to the Celestial Empire as a private person, it would be very troublesome.

could only pout and ask Chu Xiangqian to spend the New Year with her in early March.

Chu Xiangqian printed this without any hesitation.

The next day, Margaret went to the airport and sent Chu Xiangqian and Fei Fei on the plane.

Before that, Margaret not only pestered Chu Qianqian to grind her sideburns, but finally pulled Fei Fei and repeatedly told her to serve her man well.

Fei Fei could only keep nodding.

At the beginning, for the princess of a country to be wooed again and again, Fei Fei was naturally excited and excited in addition to panic.

But with the union with Margaret, he played more friendly matches with Chu Xiangqian.

The so-called princess aura has also slowly disappeared.

In addition, Chu Xiangqian said more than once in front of Fei Fei that the so-called royal family and nobles are actually just rich people with more rules.

After a long period of contact, you will find that they are no different from ordinary people.

Therefore, although Fei Fei lowered her posture in front of Margaret as always, she no longer had fear or awe of Margaret in her heart.

On February 10, the plane landed at the airport in Beijing.

Before he got out of the plane, Chu Xiangqian looked through the window and saw Xue Jianguo, Xue Jinglan, Hong Kong Sheng, and Ehime standing next to the two cars staring at the plane.

And looking at Xue Jinglan Gangsheng and Ehime's fashionable dresses, Chu Xiangqian knew that the three sisters-in-law must have lived in the courtyard at the front door.

After getting off the plane, Xue Jinglan and Gang Sheng wanted to throw themselves into Chu Xiangqian's arms, but looking at the crowd around them, the two little girls could only endure their thoughts, took Chu Xiangqian into the car, and drove straight to the Sanjin courtyard at the front door.

When he arrived at the place, Xue Jianguo originally wanted to chat with Chu Xiangqian, but when he saw his sister-in-law's disgusted expression, he immediately knew that he didn't plan to leave him for lunch.

I could only shake my head helplessly, and said to Chu Xiangqian, "Xiangqian, you rest first today, and I will come to you tomorrow." ”

Chu Qianqian nodded, but guessed in his heart that it should still be related to food.

Don't look at yourself in the past few months, you have gotten 7 or 800,000 tons of wheat and other grains for the Celestial Empire, which has greatly alleviated the lack of food around the capital.

However, the scope has expanded to the entire Celestial Empire, and the 800,000 tons of grain are still a drop in the bucket.

Chu Xiangqian shook his head helplessly, but he was not too anxious in his heart.

Anyway, I can basically get more than a dozen or hundreds of thousands of tons of grain every month.

This is much better than the previous life, which was delayed until the end of 61 years to buy food.
