Dunn took a team of more than a dozen people to Silicon Valley.
Specially ask Apple for the truth of Apple's retail store business model.
To be honest, inside the new Universal Group, including many executives such as Barry Diller, Andrew Mooney, Brandi Norris, Fernando Bardem, etc., do not think that it is the right way to build a direct chain store development strategy.
Disney stores are shrinking.
Is it necessary for New Universal Group to develop a chain store business?
Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, why should you go to the tiger mountains?
Tang En's attitude is very firm. He said that the model of the Disney store is too backward, and the model of the Apple retail store is the development direction of the future direct store!
Even though there were many objections, Tang En defied all the opposition and made a final decision.
Today, I brought my team to visit Apple headquarters.
"You're going to Pixar in a while?"
Jasmine Bloom became Dunn's new direct descendant, and she accompanied her as an assistant while Tosca Musk stayed at the headquarters.
To be honest, this feeling is very good, very pleasant.
She knew that with her current ability, she could not bring any help to New Universal in terms of work, that is, to help Dunn collect all kinds of beautiful women. However, she can learn. Accompanying Tang En to attend various events is a process of seeing the scene, accumulating contacts and learning.
Dunn nodded and said: "Well, Pixar's animation "The Incredibles" has completed the late stage, and it has been previewed internally. I will go and see it. In addition, "Kung Fu Panda" is also halfway in production. I will go and see the progress."
With such a huge background resource as New Universal, Pixar can increase its production and release a cartoon every year. This year, it's The Incredibles, and next year it's Kung Fu Panda.
"How about at night?"
There were so many people on the plane that Jasmine Bloom lowered her voice and looked sneaky.
"Huh?" Tang En raised his eyebrows and looked at her in surprise, "Do you have any plans?"
Jasmine Bloom's face showed a touch of pride, her chin raised slightly, "I'm all in touch!"
Tang En laughed and said, "Isn't it like last time?"
Three days ago, Jasmine Bloom arranged a woman for Dunn for the first time and made a big joke.
She arranged it turned out to be Anne Hathaway.
Anne Hathaway now lives in Villa No. 3, and Dunn spends the night in Villa No. 2, No. 3, No. 4, and No. 5 basically every night in Los Angeles.
For this kind of relationship, do you still need Jasmine Bloom to make arrangements? If Tang En thinks about it, he can go directly to Villa 3 to find her.
Jasmine Bloom said a little embarrassedly: "I didn't know the situation before, who knew that you were outside and raised so many women? Don't worry this time, I have already asked her, and she said she never told you dated."
"Really? Who?"
"You know, she also acted in the movie you directed."
Tang En lost interest, shook his head and said, "How is it possible? The movies I've made, beautiful actresses... I've basically had contacts. You won't find an ugly person for me, will you?"
Molly Bloom hummed, "Impossible! She was only 13 when she made your movie. How dare you touch her?"
"Ah?" Dunn blinked and thought for a moment, "British actor?"
"You guessed it?"
"Keira Knightley?"
Jasmine Bloom was surprised, "You know that?"
Dunn smiled slightly.
That year, he filmed "Star Wars Episode 1: The Menace of the Ghost Man", and Keira Knightley played Queen Amidala's double.
She looks a lot like Natalie.
Such a famous actress, who has also made his films, of course he will pay special attention.
Tang En smiled: "It's a surprise."
"You agree?"
"She agreed?"
Jasmine Bloom said with a smile: "Of course, she said that she hasn't had much contact with you since she worked with you once, and she wants to recall the good times of childhood with you."
"Why does this sound so awkward?" Dunn scratched his hair and waved his hand, "Forget it, since you've made contact, arrange for her to come. In the evening, I'm going to have dinner with Jobs and take her with me. ."
...
Because there is no flight, Keira Knightley will drive 4 hours from Los Angeles to San Francisco, unable to attend Dunn's dinner. Arranged directly by Jasmine Bloom to go to the hotel.
That's fine, Dunn and Jobs can say some confidential words.
"How is your illness?"
Dunn's face revealed a natural worry.
In October last year, Jobs was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.
With the advent of the music phone, Apple's iPod sales plummeted, causing Apple's stock price to shrink again. The current market value of Apple is only more than 5 billion US dollars.
For this reason, Jobs did not dare to let Apple mess up again. He avoided surgery, conservative treatment, and did not disclose his condition to shareholders, so as not to cause shocks in the stock price.
"Very well, do you think I'm different from before?" Jobs looked relaxed.
Dunn shook his head and sighed, "Steve, you should understand that career is important, ideals are important, but life is more important. You shouldn't make fun of this."
Jobs smiled: "I know."
Dunn frowned and said, "No, you don't know! Steve, I'll lead the team over today to learn the business philosophy of Apple's retail stores. It's just second. In my opinion, your body is more important than those!"
Jobs waved his hand, "You worry too much, I am actively cooperating with the doctor for treatment."
"You should have surgery!" Tang En said solemnly.
Jobston paused and said slowly, "It's not the time yet."
"Then when are you going to wait?"
Dunn was a little angry.
Jobs said: "The decline in iPod sales has had a great impact on Apple's stock price. You are Apple's largest shareholder, and you should understand that. However, the turnaround is coming soon. The music phone we cooperated with Motorola will be listed on the market. As long as this phone is launched, it can boost Apple's stock price. At that time, it will be appropriate for me to take another month or two to rest and operate."
Tang En laughed angrily, "Motorola? Just Motorola's broken mobile phone, do you still have illusions?"
Jobs was taken aback, "What? Motorola's mobile phone is more beautiful than Nokia, right? Isn't the mobile phone you use a Motorola?"
Dunn was at a loss for words, unable to speak, and heaved a long sigh.
On the contrary, the cancer patient Jobs comforted Dunn, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, we will be able to get the customized mobile phone in about June, and then there will be surprises. The music phone equipped with iPod, Definitely a hundred times better than any other music phone! The market will be sensational.”
"Surprise? Sensation?" The corner of Tang En's mouth twitched, somewhat mockingly, "Yeah, I hope so."
For the stubborn Jobs, there is really no way.
If it is Hollywood, Dunn will do whatever he says.
In Hollywood, because of him, there are not many celebrities who have changed their lives and have a better life.
But this is Silicon Valley, not his territory.
Dunn wanted to help, but sometimes, it wasn't that he could change if he wanted to help.
Just like Jobs.
Creation tricks people.
...
Back at the hotel, I saw Jasmine Bloom and Keira Knightley, talking with a smile.
Seeing Dunn come back, Jasmine Bloom cleverly found a reason and got up and left.
The entire suite was given to them.
"haven't seen you for a long time!"
Keira Knightley pursed her lips, sat on the sofa, and glanced at Dunn who entered the door with a big smile, which was meaningful.
Tang En smiled, "I didn't expect you to grow into a big girl!"
Saying that, he opened his arms.
Keira Knightley didn't take it too seriously, got up and hugged him gently.
"Is Jasmine your secretary?"
"Huh? My assistant."
"Oh." Keira Knightley nodded and tilted her head to look at him strangely, "You should be able to find my contact information, right? If you want to make an appointment with me, just call me directly. As soon as she contacts When I was there, I was taken aback and thought it was a liar."
Dunn laughed a few times.
how to explain?
It can't be said that Jasmine Bloom is a life assistant who specially helps him arrange women, right?
"It's mainly because I'm afraid you will refuse, it's embarrassing."
"Pfft!"
Keira Knightley smiled and bent over, her delicate face was mixed with a bit of youth and a bit of charm, and giggled: "How could I refuse you? Uncle Walker?"
"Ha ha!"
Dunn laughed again.
At that time, when filming "Star Wars Episode 1: The Menace of the Ghost Man", Keira Knightley was only 13 years old, a newcomer and little girl The then-famous director Dunn Walker was very, very adoration, great respect.
Often followed behind Dunn's ass, called "Uncle Walker".
I didn't expect to hear such a name again after five or six years. It's really interesting.
Keira Knightley was blushed by Dunn's smile, pursed her lips, turned back to sit on the sofa, crossed her arms, and looked at him with watery eyes. Pretty and Yingying.
She really looks like Natalie Portman.
Dunn coughed lightly, he didn't want to regard Keira Knightley as a substitute for Natalie, that would be a lot less fun.
"I didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, you've grown into a big girl."
"Yeah, it's the age of dating, going to bed, and having sex."
"Cough cough..."
Dunn was taken aback by her fierceness.
She looks a lot like Natalie, and the style is really different.
"Uncle Walker?"
"what?"
Keira Knightley pursed her lips and smiled and said, "You really agreed? How about I'll keep calling you Uncle Walker from now on?"
Dunn quickly waved his hand, "Don't, don't, call me Dunn. The Woody Allen thing is such a big deal, we have to take it easy, keep our relationship simple, and don't be too messy."
Keira Knightley blinked and asked jokingly, "A simple relationship? What relationship?"
"Huh? You little girl, you haven't seen each other for a few years, are you so eloquent?" Tang En stared at her with wide eyes, of course he would not be pinched by a 19-year-old girl, and snorted, "What are you talking about? Pure **** relationship!"
"what?"
Now, it's Keira Knightley's turn to sit in the wax.
"come over!"
"What?"
"Shower with me!" (https:)
