King of Hollywood Chapter 214: It’s a pity

"Poor Victor." Claude sighed after a while.

"Yeah, poor Victor," Adrian sighed. "Although I am not familiar with my cousin, I still don't want him to hate me for this."

"Okay, though, this is not the reason why you don’t attend the reception." Claude's words turned back and pulled the topic back. "Come on, Ed, just attend the reception. It's not terrible. Things."

Adrian raised his hands recklessly, then wiped his face and then changed the topic again: "How about we talk about something else? Study the method of acquiring TBS?"

"The acquisition has already begun, Ed." Claude shook his head with a smile.

"It's already started? Why don't I know?" Adrian showed a surprised look.

"It's just the beginning, it has absorbed two 4.99% of the outstanding shares through the agent." Claude said with a shrug.

"Agent? Two 4.99% shares outstanding?" Adrian looked at him puzzled, "Can you be more specific?"

"Well, in short, if you hold more than 5% of the shares, you must notify the other party and the stock exchange, which is equivalent to telling the other party that we want to buy them," Claude explained. , "So through agents continue to hold 4.99% of the outstanding shares, and then negotiate with some independent shareholders, wait for more than 50% before integrating, and finally announce and issue an acquisition offer-in fact, 30% is enough."

"It's better to be 50%," Adrian said suddenly. "We must guarantee the greatest possible success."

Claude smiled noncommittally: "Even if only 30% can vote on the board of directors, and we can win several allies, Ted is not without enemies."

Speaking of this, he didn't wait for Adrian to speak again, and threw a thug: "Okay, Ed, don't stop being a mother-in-law. This is not like you who encouraged me to start a business with you."

Adrian raised his hands, it seemed that he was still thinking about some pretexts, and then casually asked: "Who held it?"

"Sidney Harman, Harman Industries Group." Claude answered immediately.

"Sidney Harman? That... an old man with an electronic device?" Adrian looked at it, and seemed to think of something, "How many people were invited? I mean, will Jobs participate?"

Crowd raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Are you interested in Jobs again? Are you not bored with his sermons before?"

"Yes, that kind of preaching may be very exciting and exciting for ordinary people, but it is not suitable for us." Adrian sat back again, "but I have been dealing with him very well, because... …"

He put his arms on the back of a wooden chair and sighed against the sweat beads that rolled to the tip of his nose before looking at Claude seriously: "Jobs has what I want in his hand. "

==================================

In the magnificent and splendid hall, well-dressed gentlemen and graceful ladies are gathering together in twos and threes, smiling and talking, and the long tables near the walls on both sides are filled with exquisitely prepared food, dressed Waiters in white uniforms are always ready to serve every guest in need. The bands at the front of the center are playing melodious and beautiful music, and a pair of embracing men and women are dancing on the dance floor.

"Your dance is good, it's hard to imagine, I have to teach you how to walk four hours ago." Adrian held her hand around Charlize's waist and led her to follow The rhythm is constantly jumping.

"This dance is not difficult to learn. Besides, I did not skip the dance." The face-to-face Charlie snorted softly. She wore a thin black dress with long shoulders and long gloves and golden hair. High-profile, white gooseneck with a pearl necklace, and a pair of small earrings on the ears, making her look very beautiful.

"I still don't know that ballet and ballroom dancing have something in common." Adrian deliberately showed a surprised look.

"In addition to ballet, I also skipped other dances, with a foundation, so I learned quickly." Charlize was too lazy to argue with him.

After the song came to an end, Adrian immediately released his hand, but he immediately turned sideways to bend his arm slightly, Charlize took his arm naturally, and the two walked out of the dance floor together.

"The scallops are good, but unfortunately the smell is a little bit more." After tasting the food on the long table, Adrian rubbed his hands and said, but Charlize, who also tasted, disagreed: "I think I just OK."

"Okay, okay, what you say is all right." Adrian shrugged his temper.

Charlitz rolled her eyes in a subtle way, and then sighed: "Now I have another job to accompany you to the reception."

"You know, Charlie," Adrian suddenly laughed, "You speak like a bitch."

The girl suddenly showed a choked expression, staring at Adrian with some anger.

"Isn’t it? This is not the first time you’ve said this, and you’re almost going to get a salary increase." Adrian looked at her and smiled more happily, until she felt the hand in her arm move, Only then did I change my tone: "You are an assistant and secretary, Charlie, so the boss has to agree to do more things."

"Including going to bed with you?" Charlize asked irritably.

"I think I have to clarify, Charlie, now I'm accompanying you to bed." Adrian looked at her with a smile.

She once again showed a choked expression, but wanted to have an attack but couldn't get it. She had to pinch his arm in a hate, and then hit back with another topic: "You don't like the reception, Did you say you would leave after tens of minutes?"

"Of course, but I'm going to meet an important person at today's reception, so I will wait until now." Adrian said, looking around, Charlize showed a curious look: "Important person? Who else is Biha? Is MAN Industrial Group or Bank of America more important?"

"He is not as important as Sidney or Ekas. I just want to get something from him. I have observed something for a long time that is worthy of me." Adrian said and patted her hand , "Look, he's over there, let's go."

The tall man is chatting with several guests happily, thinking with his knees and knowing what he is talking about. Adrian doesn't know how many times he has heard his sales promotion. Compared to the last meeting, he had a lot of hair in his forehead. Although wearing a straight suit, Adrian still thinks he is more attractive when wearing a cardigan and jeans.

"The network is taking shape, and the computer will be further accelerated. The future is the era of information. I have no doubt about this." Jobs said bluntly, with only one expression on his face, that is self-confidence.

"I have no doubt, it just takes time." Adrian immediately plugged in.

"Hey, Ed, I'm so happy to see you." Jobs showed a look of surprise, and then reached out his hand. There was no dissatisfaction because Adrian continued to perfunctory him. No wonder this guy fell and could still get up, And also climbed higher

"I am also happy to see you." Adrian shook hands with him and introduced after his eyes fell on Charlize: "This is my girlfriend, Charlize Theron; Charlie, This is the inventor of the personal computer, Steve Jobs."

"Hello, Steve." Charlize stretched out his hand generously, appearing very elegant and temperament, coupled with the beautiful appearance, it was really beautiful.

"Hello, Charlize." Steve smiled and shook his hand, then turned to look at Adrian: "No one has told you, Ed, your girlfriend is pretty."

"Everyone said that, tonight, a lot of people have come to talk to her, so she had to stay with me." Adrian shrugged and said in a joke, while glancing at Charlize meaningfully. Glance.

Charlize didn’t say anything, keeping his manners, but took a little effort to hold the Adrian arm.

Jobs laughed, and patted his arm affectionately and asked, "I didn't see you much during this time, are you making a new movie?"

"Yes, in New York, it has been filmed for more than a month, because there is something wrong in Los Angeles, so come back to deal with it and continue in the past." Adrian explained, and then looked at the men and women next to Jobs, " Don’t introduce it?"

"Oh, sorry, my fault." Steve Jobs introduced Adrian.

People who can attend Sidney Harman’s reception are basically executives of major companies, so after listening to Adrian as a director, they all showed a more or less disapproving look until Jobs introduced After he was the chairman of the media, several talented people appeared surprised and greeted him enthusiastically.

Because of the acquisition of Paramount, and a good fight with Lei Shidong and Diller, the media is no longer as low-key as the previous two years, attracting the attention of many people. No matter how senior these executives are, they are not as honorable as the chairman of a large company, so it is normal to be respectful.

Adrian talked to them and didn’t take it seriously~ , That's what a fool would do.

And his goal is Jobs, there is no need to entangle in these little things, so Adrian immediately turned his attention to the middle-aged man in front of him. Under his intentional guidance, the two quickly argued about computer technology. Of course, Adrian is definitely not as good as Jobs in this regard, so he just picks some of the applications above.

"We all know that last year's "Jurassic Park" combined special effects and computer CG technology to produce realistic dinosaurs on the screen. I believe that with the development of time, only CG will be needed in a few years. Such a dinosaur can be made." Adrian said so.

"So, our views are actually the same, but there are differences in time." Jobs shrugged.

"That's the way it is, but you always want to refute me and ignore it," Adrian laughed, and then began to lead the topic in the direction you want. "Maybe it won't be long, we can still watch To full CG production, the film is as realistic as a real person. But before that, computer animation must be developed first."()
