Chapter 1017： The big ship of business and dystocia (2

The night wind was blowing, making people feel cold all over the body.

The night temperature in November is already very low, and due to the large temperature difference between day and night in Qinghai, the temperature here is in danger of freezing to death.

Of course, this is under the premise that people are in the wild and have no shelter from the wind and rain.

Those who are explorers or donkey friends who love wild sports will have a harder time, but there are no two hardships at all here in Xu Ang.

The camp next to the stone mountain has been expanded. With the efficient operation of modern machinery, within a week, it has changed from several tents to several small wooden buildings, twenty or thirty red brick houses, and a number of under construction. The big camp of the cement house.

In terms of scale, it is not much worse than the core areas of some remote towns in China.

Who made it so that there was no major demolition or construction in the country at this time, and many people lived in old houses handed down from their ancestors. The kind of old houses that use the fences with mud, and then use the old wood in the mountains as supporting columns and beams, although they look dilapidated, in actual use, their toughness and durability are far higher than that of reinforced concrete houses.

The former looks far less tall than the latter, but it can allow generations of grandparents to live, while the latter's 20 or 30 Kung Fu is shabby.

Xu Ang stood by the window, looking at the stone mountain in the night, his eyes fell on the bright lights on the top of the mountain. He knew that two old professors, Wang Ling and Zhao Zhen, who arrived later, were leading their students to continue their research.

Regardless of the fact that the two old professors are in their sixties, their enthusiasm for research makes them burst into energy that even young people sigh.

Their energy to stay up all night is simply shameful - here are mainly students who are being led by two professors, all of whom are in their twenties, but their ability to stay up late is not as good as that of two old people.

Xu Ang wondered if they really couldn't stay up late enough for the two professors, or if they couldn't be excited by the day and night research. If it is replaced by activities such as playing games all night, will these people show the prototype of their liver emperor.

There was a sound behind him, Xu Ang turned his head to look, and found that Xiaoxiao and Xiaoqingzi both pushed the quilt away, and they were wearing single clothes, revealing that they were small belly.

"Put on the quilt again!"

Walking over and scratching their belly with fingers, the scratched little sisters retracted their stomachs subconsciously, and turned over to face Xu Ang with their little butts. Then, their little butts were slapped alone.

Q bomb Q bomb, feel pretty good.

Xu Ang lay down on his own, hugged the little guy in his arms, and then pulled the quilt to cover the three of them.

After so many interruptions, Xu Ang stopped taking care of Shishan's affairs.

After staying in this place for a week, the time has been delayed long enough that Xu Ang is not allowed to stay any longer. According to his plan, he will return to Peiping with Li Yanhong tomorrow, and he will find another person to deal with the matter here.

On the premise that the preliminary work is done well, the follow-up exploration and subsequent development plan are not things that can be completed overnight, and Xu Ang cannot be dragged here.

And once it is confirmed that Xu Ang's speculation about the underground inland sea comes true, it is impossible for them to decide how to develop it. Such a big thing must be involved.

In fact, from Xu Ang's standpoint, he really hopes that the above will intervene, because if it is an underground inland sea, its development can only be achieved optimally with the power of the state. If you want to complete this year's annual sign-in task, you have to land on it.

"Fortunately, here is China, which is known for its efficiency and execution, not the western countries that need endless wrangling, otherwise things will be difficult to do."

Xu Ang sighed.

As a Chinese person, I am accustomed to the high efficiency of the official treatment of major events, and I am really not used to the time-consuming and laborious fancy games such as voting, issues, and referendums in Western countries for the sake of the democratization process.

What is the efficiency of engaging in these forms, is it a waste of time?

Haven't you heard the goblin's famous quote: "Time is money, my friend."

Since they are still a capitalist country where money is paramount, the behavior of wasting money has been repeated again and again, which is simply a disgrace to capitalism.

When it comes to capitalism, we have to mention their value of money first and interests first.

As long as it is beneficial to oneself and can make oneself earn more, the capitalists can do anything.

One moment ago, they were still enemies, and the next second, they were united as normal operations in the capital country.

Of course, if the situation is reversed, it can also be established.

Therefore, when Xu Ang received a call from Lasseter on the Gulfstream G550 on his way back to Peiping, he would not be too surprised by the content of the call.

"Boss, Jordan is in."

Lasseter said that as soon as he got on the phone.

When he said that he went in, he didn't mean anything else, he meant going to prison.

Fortunately, the Jordan in his mouth is not the Jordan who played basketball, but the Jordan named Belfort, a famous financial person on Wall Street.

Xu Ang's mood did not fluctuate at all, he said lightly: "Isn't the release date of The Wolf of Wall Street set for November, just to use this matter to hype up a wave of enthusiasm, I shouldn't need to teach you such a simple thing."

Lasseter replied: "The heat is already on the rise. In fact, when Belfort was charged, we had already started marketing. In your words, it was the heat of hot events."

"It's not exactly a hot topic, after all, he is the prototype of the protagonist." Xu Ang said, but remembered a little, "By the way, don't make mistakes in terms of copyright."

"Absolutely not. We've made a deal with Belfort and paid him $100,000."

Xu Ang raised an eyebrow: "So few?"

Lasseter said proudly: "He was fined a lot of money, this guy is bankrupt, and he has no other hope except that we are willing to give him money to give him a little chance of making a comeback. We are The last straw for him is that he is not qualified to raise the price. If you can give him $100,000, the boss is too copyright-conscious. In fact, we can't afford the money."

It could be heard that Lasseter felt unnecessary for the $100,000 expense.

He thought so, but Xu Ang didn't see it that way.

"This money must be paid, otherwise how can our movies be justified in social hot events? If we don't get this money, how can we make a fuss about Belfort's marketing. Moreover, if the money is not paid, follow-up troubles are inevitable. Lasseter, don't underestimate the elite of Wall Street, even if he goes bankrupt and goes to jail. Besides, from the cost point of view, the effect of this hundred thousand dollars is worth more than one million in marketing than the normal method. "

"As soon as you said that, I understood. It was true. I didn't think enough."

Lasseter humbly accepts.

Xu Ang pouted, has this guy Lasseter started playing tricks too?

Lasseter on the other end of the phone would not have thought that Xu Ang saw through his little trick at a glance. At this moment, he was complacent. He said that about the 100,000 US dollars on purpose, so that Xu Ang, the boss, could point him to something.

People are good teachers, especially when they do what they think is right.

As a subordinate, how to make the boss happy is a university question, but it is not just a simple slap in the face. You have to express yourself at the right time. This performance can be an outstanding ability or some shortcomings.

When the boss has a proud operation, it is much more effective to sell the stupidity appropriately, so that the boss can point the country and scratch the boss's itch. It is much more effective than saying hundreds or thousands of nice words. At the same time, it will also make the boss feel that your ability is there, but you are still inferior to him, your vision is not up to him, you are not out of his control, and you are not a threat to him, so he will use you with confidence.

Otherwise, the end of Yang Xiu's negative teaching material will be your end.

"Sure enough, this article on Yang Xiu's death is not a random choice for the Chinese textbook. The teaching here is to behave in the world."

What is there to say?

"The workplace isn't about fighting and killing, it's about human relationships."

Xu Ang muttered a few words. Lasseter on the other end of the phone couldn't understand the Chinese he spoke, but Li Yanhong understood. The latter's heart moved slightly, but his face did not reveal the slightest.

It's not that Li Yanhong deliberately eavesdropped on Xu Ang's phone call, but he was sitting next to Xu Ang chatting with Xu Ang when Lasseter's call came. The physical distance was too close for Li Yanhong to hear.

In his heart, Li Yanhong is very fortunate that he has the opportunity to be of the same **** as Xu Ang. If he can have more contact with the father of the gold master, he will be able to make more impressions on the other party and have more opportunities to express himself.

In addition, you can learn more about Xu Ang through the contact, so that you can find out the context in the future.

Don't think that someone like Li Yanhong who is in charge of a company can act recklessly. In fact, the opposite is true. Precisely because they are in power, they need to consider more things, and at the same time have more constraints.

There are many things that employees in the company can ignore, but the executives in the company dare not touch it. If it weren't for the inability of investors to understand the preferences of investors and the way the major shareholders spoke, they would never know when they were slapped down.

The kind of things that have been kicked out of the company because of offending major shareholders and disputes between the company's CEO and investors.

Not to mention, take Steve, who also accepted Xu Ang's investment and let Xu Ang be the father of the gold owner. His experience can explain everything.

As the founder of the fruit company, he was swept out of the house because of differences of opinion with investors, and because he got on Xu Ang's car, he was able to stage a Jedi counterattack, and finally the king returned. It is often mentioned.

Li Yanhong, who heard Xu Ang talking to himself, gave himself a wake-up call: Don't think that you are very smart, and don't think about Xu Ang's routines, people can make such a big family business from scratch, and their brains can Not smart? You want to trick him, but you think you can do it, but it's hard to predict the result.

In front of a smart person like Xu Ang, he can see through your thoughts as soon as you make a move, and all your intentions cannot be concealed from him. You thought you were successful, but in fact it was Xu Ang who made you think you were successful. You thought you were tricking him, but he perfunctory you.

Meeting such a shrewd investor, I don't know if it is a blessing or a curse.

Li Yanhong lowered his eyebrows and pleaded with his eyes, but he kept telling himself in his heart not to try to do some stupid things that looked very smart, and those who regarded others as fools would only end up being treated as fools by others.

The Lasseter who is talking to Xu Ang is a good example. I, Li Yanhong, are the ones who want to be the next wave, and I will never be a negative teaching material.

The two people who were on the phone did not expect that there would be such a guy with a lot of inner drama around, Xu Ang found that Lasseter had not hung up the phone, guessing that he must have other things, so he asked: "Is there anything else, John? "

"Yes boss, there is another thing to report to you."

"It's about an investment in a movie, and I remember you saying more than once that the movie that Truckers is making is going to be a big threat, and it's going to have a very good chance of being a very big box office."

Xu Ang asked, "So what?"

"So I have been paying attention to it. After all, I believe that it is impossible to make mistakes in your eyes, boss."

After a small filming, Lasseter went on to say: "According to the information I checked, the trucker's movie has been postponed again and again, and the investment has also increased. Film investment The continuous increase means that if you want to make a profit, the box office must be doubled, and the filming of the film has been continuously delayed, which has worn away the patience of investors, and also made investors’ expectations for it continue to decrease.”

Xu Ang didn't say anything unnecessary, just listened quietly.

He remembered that it was indeed the case. The truck driver repeatedly bounced tickets. The big ship can be described as a difficult birth, but it should not be a problem when it is released at the end of this year.

In order to fight against this big ship, prevent it from bringing a box office effect in the United States, and then raging invincible in the international film market, let the Americans export their set of rice-style values ​​all over the world, and establish the American blockbuster in the minds of many people. Well, the American blockbuster is a wonderful idea, but Xu Ang has always aimed at it.

Whether it's the speedy one who got out ahead of time, or the Transformers One created with the help of sign-in rewards, they are all to **** the wallets of old rice fans before the truck driver's big ship is born. The idea is to wait until the trucker's boat comes out, so many of Lao Mi's fans are spending more than their budgets this year, keeping them from going to the cinema to save money.

Although it's not clear how expensive this will be, it's worth trying.

Lasseter mentions the trucker's boat at this point. Could it be that there was something wrong with the filming of that boat?

Xu Ang is looking forward to this answer. If that is the case, it means that the wind from his butterfly's flapping wings has already begun to affect many things.

Unfortunately, the answer is not so.

Lasseter said: "Investors have lost confidence in the trucker's boat and they are looking for new investors to come in. It was originally talking about Fox and Paramount, but I had someone release some news and put it out. The real situation of the big ship was told to the outside world, which ruined the business. Now all the big companies in Hollywood know that the truck driver's big ship is difficult to give birth, and everyone is not optimistic about it, boss, what do you think we should do?"

Um? !

Xu Ang's eyes lit up.
