"Oh, I know, let alone, this film is really hot. It's lucky to be able to make s~m so profitable, but their luck ends here."
Robert Iger's attitude became more and more gentle, but behind this gentleness, there was a trace of blood hidden, and even Michael Forroman, who was sitting directly opposite, did not notice it.
"Michael, there is no luck in Hollywood. You know this better than me."
To a certain extent, luck is also a kind of strength, so Foreman would not care about this sentence.
"In short, this matter is handed over to me, believe me, in a few days, you will receive an apology call from that Chinese kid." Froman said swearingly.
In response, Robert Iger shrugged, "I will wait and see."
. . .
On the other side, Yang Cheng, who was on the east coast, was talking with Donna Lande. The first time he ended the call with Robert Iger, Donna Lande told Yang Cheng.
"What else did he say?" Yang Cheng asked with a cigar in her mouth while holding her mobile phone.
"I didn't say anything, boss, do you want to continue with "Raging Sea Rescue"?" Donna Lande asked.
Yang Cheng smiled, "Why not? What are you worried about?"
"We also have movies to be shown." Donna Lande did not say explicitly, but reminded from the side.
"Your worries are reasonable, but the spilled water can't be recovered. Since we have done some things, there is no reason to give up halfway. Disney has offended it. Is there a big difference between offending more and less offending?
What's more, the other party provoked the whole thing first. If we pretend to die and don't know, anyone can step on us in the future, then we don't have to do anything. "
Yang Cheng’s words caused Donna Lande to fall into contemplation. After a long while, she sighed, "Boss, you are right. It may be that you are older and don’t have the momentum of the past. The first time you think of something is a conservative approach. ."
"Don't say that, I'm still waiting to sign a contract with you." Yang Orange said relievedly.
"Yes, I am also looking forward to it. Then I will send someone to post the director's black material online."
"Yes, let go and do it, I am responsible for everything."
Sometimes, knowing that you are invincible, you have to bite the bullet, so that even if you lose, you can get the respect of your opponents and at the same time raise your own dialogue capital.
No one will care about someone who is caught without saying a word, let alone sit down and talk to you peacefully.
So, all of this is a routine. Yang Cheng knew the gap with Disney from the very beginning, and was not even ready to fight Disney to the end. The bravery of a brash man is a taboo, and Yang Cheng is obviously not a brash man. Speaking again, the strength is still not strong enough, otherwise, if you don't talk about it, fight it first.
As soon as the phone hung up, Ryze Khan knocked on the door and came in directly, "Boss, I attended Donrad’s charity reception on your behalf last night, and donated 1 million US dollars in your name during the period.
Yang Cheng nodded, "I see, isn't it the highest one?"
Ryze shook his head, "No, there are several donated 2 million."
"That's good~"
Then he looked at Ryze in surprise, "It's not worth running up for this."
"There is indeed one more thing about the Hilton Group." Ryze said hesitantly.
Yang Cheng put down the signature pen and leaned back on the boss chair, "Talk about it~"
"According to your boss's instructions, I contacted the Blackstone Group to discuss the acquisition of Hilton Group shares, but the other party's attitude was extremely firm, and it seemed that they were not going to sell it." Ryze said bitterly.
Yang Cheng frowned, "What's the matter?"
Ryze shook his head abruptly, "I am also at a loss. I obviously had a firm position in finding the next home before."
He paused and said, "I asked someone to find out. The Blackstone Group hasn't made any big moves recently."
"Don't think about it, you remember to make an appointment with Blackstone Group CEO Stephen Schwarzman, and I will talk to him personally."
"Um, Mr. Schwarzman is currently on vacation in the Caribbean, and I wanted to meet him before." Rez Khan said helplessly.
Yang Cheng was also a little speechless, which was unlucky, "Then Hamilton James, as the president, he will never go on vacation."
"That's not the case, I will arrange it now."
Yang Cheng sighed, "Don't be in the company, make an appointment for a private time, then you will be with you."
"Good boss."
. . .
In the afternoon of the next day, Yang Cheng and Ryze Khan flew to the west coast, and the Jason temporarily leased the apron of a private airport near Pebble Beach.
Yesterday, when Ryze communicated with Hamilton James, they heard that he was going to play golf at the Cypress Point Club today. After communicating with Yang Orange, the two immediately decided to fly to the club to have an interview with him.
Cypress Point Club is located in the beautiful Big Sur, California, just south of Pebble Beach. The standard 18-hole course is built on this undulating terrain. It is adjacent to the magnificent Pacific coastline and has invincible scenery. It is the best in the United States and the world. One of the top golf courses, and more high-end and private than the neighboring Pebble Beach Club, it is the favorite holiday destination of the wealthy in the United States.
The course at Cypress Point is known as the pinnacle masterpiece of many courses designed by master Mark Kennitz, with sandy grounds and large and small hills lined with trees.
The most distinctive hole of this course is naturally the 15th-17th holes that even many professional golfers have suffered. These holes distributed along the Pacific coast are definitely a big challenge for all golfers.
Among them, the 16th hole of 223 yards has no fairway. From the tee to the green, it crosses the turbulent Pacific. It can be called the most thrilling short hole in golf. Every tee is a challenge to courage.
Yang Cheng is not a member of the Cypress Point Club. In fact, neither is Hamilton James. He was also invited by a friend to participate in a private ball game today. The initiator of the game is the chairman and CEO of Texas Energy Group Peter Flo. Er, Yang Cheng and Ryze also got the invitation letter with the help of Hamilton James, otherwise they are not qualified to step into the stadium.
Cypress Point is famous because of its strict membership entry threshold. Since the completion of the stadium, the total number of members of the club has never exceeded 250.
In the words of the media, there are usually only vacancies in the club when the **** of death arrives, and the club accepts new members at a rate of about 7 to 9 per year.
It is said that some people have been waiting for a membership card for 7 years, and even if they become a candidate, they will have to wait a long and painful time to become a full member. In essence, this process is the club’s efforts to choose from you. Wrong, look for any defects that do not meet the requirements.
But people are cheap, and wealthy people are even more cheap and invincible. The more difficult to obtain, the more noble in their eyes. Even if he spends hundreds of millions of dollars, they can still buy and exchange things in their eyes, far from it. The dignity of this intangible membership qualification comes.
Having communicated by phone in advance, Hamilton James waited outside the club to welcome Yang Cheng and Ryze.
"Good afternoon Jason, it's been a long time." James smiled and hugged and greeted him.
Yang Cheng gave a cordial response, "Yes, we all live in New York, but we met in Los Angeles, which is really helpless."
"It seems that we need to contact more in the future. I heard that you were once a master at playing young golfers under 30. Today we have to learn about our skills." James is very confident in his skills. Initiated a challenge.
Yang Cheng is accustomed to this. The rich Americans are embarrassed to play in the upper class if they don’t have good skills. Yang Cheng won’t show weakness. I haven't been afraid of anyone yet."
After a pause, he patted his forehead, "Look at me, I forgot to introduce it. This is the ceo Ryze Khan of the four-dimensional space."
James stretched out his hand and shook Ryze, "No introduction, I know Ryze better than you."
Yang Cheng looked at Ryze in surprise, "Really? Why haven't you heard that before?"
Ryze shrugged, "Boss, you never asked."
Yang Cheng laughed, James gave Ryz a thumbs up and signaled that he was beautiful and then patted the two on the shoulders, "Let’s go in, let’s go in, the game is official at 1 o’clock. To start, let’s take you to meet some new friends."
The Cypress Point Club is hidden in the jungle, and the red roof villa is very Hawaiian.
After entering the manor, he was taken by the caddy to change into his clothes, and then he met with James, walked through the manor, and came to a terrace. Looking down from here, the 5966-meter fairway has a panoramic view, and the end of the fairway. It is the endless Pacific Ocean, and the magnificent sea view is so beautiful.
James smiled and asked, "How is it? Isn't it more comfortable than cold New York?"
Yang Cheng nodded, "Of course, California is undoubtedly more suitable for living than New York."
On one side of the terrace, there is a chef cooking iron grills. At the end of the railing, several old white-haired gentlemen in their 60s are sitting on the sofa and chatting. The hearty laughter is extraordinary.
James said in advance, "The fat man in the middle is the initiator of today's game. Peter Flor, chairman of the Texas Energy Group, and a senior member of Cypress Point, has a wide network of contacts in the energy industry and is a very interesting old man. .
The one on Peter's left is Gerald Wallace, who only joined the club last year. He owns 3 casino hotels in Las Vegas. The most powerful is that he owns 8% of the water rights near Las Vegas. "
There were some fluctuations in Yang Cheng's eyes. Everyone thought that the top of Vegas’ pyramid was the owner of the casino, but only those who knew the situation understood that in Vegas, the person who can enter the water management committee is the real Vegas. God, I didn't expect this humble old man to have this identity.
