"Poor victor." It was a long time before Claude exclaimed.
"Yes, poor Victor," Adrian sighed, "although I am not familiar with my cousin, I still don't want him to hate me for that."
"Well, that's not the reason why you don't attend the party." Claude brought the topic back again. "Come on, ED, it's just a party. It's not a terrible thing."
Adrian raised his hands, wiped his face and then changed the subject again: "how about we talk about something else? How to acquire TBS
"The acquisition has begun, ed." Claude laughed and shook his head.
"Already? Why don't I know? " Adrian looked surprised.
"At the beginning, two 4.99% of the outstanding shares have been absorbed through the agent." Said Claude, shrugging.
"Agent? Two 4.99% of the outstanding shares? " Adrian puzzled looking at him, "can you be more specific?"
"Well, to put it simply, if you hold more than 5% of the shares, you have to inform the other party and the stock exchange, which means that you clearly tell the other party that we want to buy them," Claude explained. "So we continuously hold 4.99% of the outstanding shares through the agent, then negotiate with some independent shareholders, and then integrate them after more than 50%. Finally, the company will make a joint venture The buyout offer - 30% is enough. "
"It's better to be 50 percent," Adrian said suddenly. "You have to make sure you're the most likely to succeed."
Claude gave a noncommittal smile: "even if only 30% of them can vote in the board of directors. Besides, we can win over several allies. Ted is not without enemies."
Here, he didn't wait for Adrian to open his mouth again, and the thug waved: "well, ED, don't be mother-in-law anymore. It's not like you who encouraged me to start a business with you."
Adrian raised his hands and seemed to be thinking about some pretext, and then casually asked, "who organized it?"
"Sidney Harman, Lloyd of Harman industries, immediately answered.
"Sidney Harman? That The old man who is an electronic device? " Adrian's face moved, as if thinking of something, "how many people have been invited? I mean, will jobs be there? "
Claude raised his eyebrows in surprise: "are you interested in jobs again? Didn't you get tired of his preaching before? "
"But for ordinary people, it's probably not the right way to talk about blood." Adrian sat back and said, "but I've been dealing with him well because..."

the gentleman who wanted to talk to me on both sides of the hall was smiling at the two handsome ladies on the back of the wooden chair , full of beautifully made food, waiters in white uniform come and go ready to serve every guest in need. In the middle, the front band is playing melodious and beautiful music, a pair of embracing men and women are dancing on the dance floor.
"You're a good dancer. It's hard to imagine. I was teaching you how to walk four hours ago." Adrian put her arm around Charlize's waist, held her hand, and kept her dancing to the rhythm.
"It's not difficult to learn. Besides, I'm not without dancing." Face to face, Charlize snorted. She was wearing a long black shoulder dress and gloves. Her golden hair was high. She had a pearl necklace on her white goose neck. She also had a pair of small earrings on her ears.
"I don't know yet. Ballet and ballroom have something in common." Adrian was deliberately surprised.
"Besides ballet, I also dance other dances. I have a foundation, so I learn very quickly." Charlize was too lazy to argue with him.
At the end of the song, Adrian let go of his hand, but he immediately turned to his side, his arm slightly bent, and Charlize naturally took his arm, and they walked out of the dance floor together.
"Scallops are good, but they have a little more fishy smell." After tasting the food on the long table, Adrian wiped his hands and said, but Charlize, who had also tasted it, disagreed: "I think it's just right."
"Well, well, whatever you say." Adrian shrugged his shoulders in a good temper.
Charlize rolled her eyes covertly and sighed, "now I have another job to accompany you to the party."
"You know, Charley," Adrian burst out laughing. "You talk like a grumpy woman."
The girl immediately showed a choking expression, some sullen stare at Adrian.
"Isn't it? It's not the first time you've said this, and you're almost about to get a raise. " Adrian watched her smile more happily, until he felt the manual movement in his arm, then he changed his voice: "you are assistant secretary, Charlie, so the boss has to promise you to do any more things.""Including going to bed with you?" Charles asked angrily.
"I think I have to make it clear, Charlie, I'm going to bed with you now." Adrian looked at her with a smile.
She showed a choking expression again. She wanted to attack but could not, so she pinched him in his arm with hatred, and then used other topics to fight back: "don't you like the cocktail party and say that you will leave after attending dozens of minutes?"
"Of course, but I want to see an important person at today's reception, so I'm waiting until now." Adrian said and looked around, while Charlize looked curiously: "important person? Who else is more important than the CEO of Harman industries or the CEO of Bank of America? "
"He doesn't have as much weight as Sidney or ECAs, I just want to get something out of him, something I've observed for a long time, something worth getting." Adrian said, patting her hand. "Look, he's over there. Let's go."
The tall man was chatting with several guests, kneeling to know what he was talking about. Adrian had no idea how many times he had listened to his sales promotion. Compared with the last time he met, he had less hair on his forehead. Although he was wearing a stiff suit, Adrian thought he was more attractive in a sweater and jeans.
"The network is taking shape, computers will further accelerate the development, the future is an information age, I have no doubt about this." Steve Jobs said, with only one expression on his face, that is self-confidence.
"I have no doubt, but it will take time." Adrian then stepped in.
"Hey, ED, nice to meet you." Jobs showed a surprised look, and then extended his hand. There was no dissatisfaction because Adrian had been perfunctory to him before. No wonder this guy can still get up after falling, and climb higher
"I'm glad to see you." Adrian shook hands with him and introduced him after his eyes fell on Charlize: "this is my girlfriend, Charlize Theron; Charley, this is the inventor of the personal computer, Steve jobs."
"Hello, Steve." Charlize's outstretched hand is very elegant and has temperament, plus that beautiful appearance, it is really beautiful.
"Hello, Charlize." Steve shook hands with a smile and then turned to Adrian: "no one told you, ED, your girlfriend is quite beautiful."
"Everyone says that. Many people have come to talk to her this evening, so she has to stay with me." Adrian shrugged, joked, and glanced meaningfully at Charlize.
Charlize said nothing, kept his manner, but took Adrian's arm with a little effort.
Jobs laughed, affectionately photographed his arm, and then asked, "I haven't seen you much this time. Is it making a new movie?"
"Yes, I've been shooting in New York for more than a month. Because there's something wrong with Los Angeles, I'll come back and deal with it first and then go on." Adrian explained, then looked at the men and women next to jobs, "don't you introduce it?"
"Oh, sorry, my fault." Jobs then introduced Adrian.
Most of the people who could attend Sidney Harman's reception were senior executives of major companies. So, after listening to Adrian as a director at the beginning, they showed more or less a look of disapproval. Until jobs introduced him as the chairman of AC media, several talents showed a surprised look, and then warmly hailed him.
Because of the acquisition of paramount, and a good fight with leishidong and Diller, AC media is no longer as low-key as the previous two years, which has attracted many people's attention. No matter how important these executives are, they are not as dignified as the chairman of a large company. Therefore, it is very normal for Adrian to exchange greetings with them without paying attention to them. Besides, who knows whether they will deal with each other again, because a little bit of self-reliance will give people a look of self-reliance, which is what fools will do Love.
And his goal is jobs, there is no need to entangle in these small things, so Adrian immediately turned his attention to the middle-aged man in front of him. Under his deliberate guidance, the two quickly argued about computer technology. Of course, Adrian was not as good as Steve Jobs in this respect, so he just picked out some things about the application.
"We all know that last year's" Jurassic Park "combined special effects and CG technology to create realistic dinosaurs on the screen. I believe that with the development of time, in a few years, we only need CG to produce such dinosaurs." Adrian said so.
"Well, our views are actually the same, but there are differences in time." Jobs shrugged.
"That's what it is, but you always try to refute me and ignore it," Adrian laughed, then began to lead the topic in the direction he wanted. "Maybe before long, we will be able to see movies made by full CG that are as realistic as real people. But before that, computer animation has to be developed. "“
