All-in-one Sign

The night breeze blew coldly 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 people to death.

Of course, this is under the premise that the person is in the wild and has no shelter from the wind and rain.

Those adventurers or those who love outdoor sports will have a harder time, but there is no difficulty at all here in Xu'ang.

The camp next to the stone mountain has been expanded. With the high-efficiency operation of modern machinery, in just one week, it has changed from a few tents to several small wooden buildings, twenty or thirty red brick houses, and a number of buildings under construction. A large camp with cement houses.

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

Who knows that at this time, there was no major demolition and construction in China, and many people lived in old houses passed down from their ancestors. That kind of old house with fences covered with mud and old wood from the mountains as supporting columns and beams. Although it looks shabby, in actual use it is much tougher and more durable than reinforced concrete houses.

The former looks far less grand than the latter, but it can accommodate generations of grandparents, while the latter became dilapidated in 20 or 30 years.

Xu Ang stood by the window, looking at the stone mountain in the night, and his eyes fell on the bright light 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.

Although the two old professors are over sixty years old, their enthusiasm for research makes them burst out with energy that even young people can't compare to.

Their ability to stay up late is simply shameful - here are mainly students being taught by two professors, each in their twenties, but their ability to stay up late is not as good as two old people.

Xu Ang was wondering whether they really couldn't survive the two professors by staying up all night, or whether they could not get excited by studying day and night. If they were to stay up all night playing games or something like that, would these people show their prototypes of the Liver Emperor?

There was a sound behind him. Xu Ang turned his head and saw that it was Xiaoxiao and Xiao Qingzi who both pushed off the quilts. They were wearing single clothes and exposed their belly.

"Kicking off the quilt again!"

He walked over and scratched their bellies with his fingers. The little sisters who were scratched subconsciously retracted their bellies, turned over and faced Xu Ang with their little buttocks. Then, each of their little butts received a slap.

Q-bounce, Q-bounce, feels pretty good.

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

After all this interruption, Xu Ang stopped caring about Shishan's affairs.

After staying in this place for a week, the time has been delayed long enough, and Xu Ang is not allowed to stay any longer. According to his plan, he will return to Peking with Li Yanhong tomorrow, and he will find someone else to handle the matters here.

As long as the preliminary work is done well, subsequent exploration and subsequent development plans cannot be completed overnight, and Xu Ang cannot be dragged here.

And once it is confirmed that Xu Ang's guess about the underground inland sea comes true, it is impossible for them to decide how to develop it. In such a big matter, the higher authorities will inevitably get involved.

In fact, from Xu Ang's point of view, he really hopes that the authorities will intervene, because if it is really 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 check-in task, you have to focus on this.

"Fortunately, we are here in China, which is famous for its efficiency and execution, rather than in Western countries that require endless wrangling, otherwise things will be difficult to handle."

Xu Ang sighed.

As a Chinese, I am accustomed to the high efficiency of the official handling of major events. I am really not used to the time-consuming and laborious methods of voting, issues, referendums, etc. that are conducted in Western countries to go through the procedures.

What is the efficiency of doing these forms? Isn’t it a waste of time?

Have you never heard the famous saying of Goblin: "Time is money, my friend."

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

When it comes to capitalism, we have to mention their values ​​of money first and profit first.

As long as it is beneficial to them and allows them to earn more, capitalists can do any tricks.

Being enemies one moment and joining forces the next is normal operation in the country of capital.

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 has gone in."

Lasseter said this as soon as he got through the phone.

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

Fortunately, the Jordan he was talking about was not the Jordan who played basketball, but the Jordan who was a famous financial figure on Wall Street named Belfort.

Xu Ang's mood did not fluctuate at all. He said calmly: "Isn't the release date of The Wolf of Wall Street scheduled for November? It's just a good time to use this event to create a wave of hype. I shouldn't need to teach you such a simple thing."

Lasseter responded: "The hype has already started. In fact, we had already started marketing when Belfort was accused. In your words, we are riding the heat of the hot event."

"It's not entirely a hot topic, after all, the prototype of the protagonist is him." Xu Ang said, but he remembered something, "By the way, don't make any mistakes regarding copyright."

"Absolutely not. We have reached an agreement with Belfort and paid him one hundred thousand dollars."

Xu Ang raised an eyebrow: "So few?"

Lasseter said proudly: "He has been fined a large amount of money. This guy is bankrupt. Except that we are willing to give him money to give him a slight possibility of making a comeback, he has no other hope. We are His last straw is that he is not qualified to raise the price. The only way to give him $100,000 is because you, the boss, are very copyright-conscious. In fact, we don’t have the money at all.”

It could be heard that Lasseter felt that the expenditure of one hundred thousand dollars was unnecessary.

He thought so, but Xu Ang didn't think so.

"This money must be paid, otherwise our movie will not be able to take advantage of hot social events. If this money is not paid, how will the Belfort incident be used in marketing. Moreover, if this money is not paid, subsequent troubles will be inevitable. Lasseter, don't underestimate Wall Street elites, even if he goes bankrupt and is imprisoned. Besides, from a cost perspective, the effect of this $100,000 is worth more than a million spent on normal marketing. "

"When you said that, I understood. It is indeed the case. I didn't think comprehensively enough."

Lasseter accepted humbly.

Xu Ang pouted, has Lasseter started playing tricks too?

Lasseter on the other end of the phone would not have thought that Xu Ang would see through his little trick at a glance. At this time, he was feeling proud. What he said about the one hundred thousand dollars before was something he said deliberately, just to give Xu Ang, the boss, some guidance.

People like to teach others, especially when they do what they think is right.

As a subordinate, how to make your boss happy is a big question, and it is not just a simple matter of flattering someone. You have to express yourself at the appropriate time. This expression can be about outstanding abilities or certain shortcomings.

When the boss has a successful operation, show off his stupidity appropriately so that the boss can point out the situation and scratch the boss's itch, which is much more effective than saying hundreds or thousands of nice words. At the same time, it will also make the boss feel that although you have abilities, you are still not as good as him, your vision is not as good as his, you are not out of his control, and you are not a threat to him, so that he will feel free to use you.

Otherwise, the fate of Yang Xiu, a negative teaching material, will be your fate.

"Sure enough, the article about the death of Yang Xiuzhi was not chosen randomly to be included in Chinese textbooks. What it teaches is about how to behave."

How do you say something?

"The workplace is not about fighting and killing, it is about human relations."

Xu Ang muttered something in Chinese. Lasseter on the other end of the phone couldn't understand the Chinese he spoke, but Li Yanhong understood it. The latter's heart was slightly moved, but his face didn't show it at all.

It wasn't that Li Yanhong had any intention of eavesdropping on Xu Ang's phone calls. In fact, when Lasseter's call came, he was sitting next to Xu Ang chatting with Xu Ang. The physical distance was too close for Li Yanhong to miss it.

In her heart, Li Yanhong was very glad that she had the opportunity to be of the same gender as Xu Ang. Being able to have more contact with the sponsor's father would allow him to leave more impressions on the other person's heart and have more opportunities to perform.

In addition, you can also get to know Xu Ang better through the contact, so that you can understand the context of future work.

Don't think that people like Li Yanhong who are in charge of a company can act arbitrarily. In fact, it's just the opposite. Just because they hold great power, they have more things to consider and are subject to more constraints.

There are many things that employees in the company don't care about, but executives in the company dare not touch them. If you can't figure out the preferences of investors and don't understand the way the major shareholders speak, you won't even know when you were fooled.

There have been cases in the past, there are now, and there will be no less in the future because of offending major shareholders or having disputes between company bosses and investors.

Not to mention Steve, who also received investment from Xu Ang, with Xu Ang as the father of the funder, his experience can explain everything.

As the founder of a fruit company, he was kicked out due to differences of opinion with investors, and he was able to stage a desperate counterattack because he took Xu Ang's car, and finally returned as the king. Steve's ups and downs were very different among the company bosses like them. It was mentioned frequently.

Hearing Xu Ang talking to himself, Li Yanhong sounded a warning to himself: Never think that you are very smart, and never try to trick Xu Ang. People can build such a big family business from scratch, and their brains can Not smart? You want to trick him, and you think you can do it, but the result is hard to predict.

In front of a smart man like Xu Ang, he can see through your thoughts whenever you make a move, and all your intentions cannot be hidden from him. You thought you succeeded, but in fact it was Xu Ang who made you think you succeeded. You thought you tricked him, but it was him who perfunctory you.

I don’t know whether it’s a blessing or a curse to meet such a shrewd investor.

Li Yanhong lowered his eyebrows and kept warning himself in his heart not to try to do stupid things that look smart. People who treat others as fools will only be treated as fools by others.

Lasseter, who was talking to Xu Ang on the phone, is a good example. I, Li Yanhong, am the one who wants to follow suit, and I should never be used as a negative example.

Neither of the two people who were on the phone expected that there would be such a guy with such a lot of inner drama next to him. Xu Ang noticed that Lasseter had not hung up the phone and guessed that he must have other things, so he asked: "Is there anything else, John? "

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

"This is about investment in a movie. I remember you said more than once that the movie Trucker is filming will be a big threat and it will have a high chance of getting a very high box office."

Xu Ang asked: "So?"

"So I have been paying attention to its news. After all, I believe that from your perspective, boss, nothing can go wrong."

After a small snap, Lasseter continued: "According to the information I found, the Truck Driver movie has been postponed again and again, and the investment has increased. Film investment The continuous increase means that if you want to make a profit, the box office must double. In addition, the filming of the film is continuously postponed, which not only wears away the patience of investors, but also makes investors' expectations of it continue to decrease. "

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

He remembered that this was indeed the case. The truck driver repeatedly bounced the ticket. The big ship could be described as dystocia, but it should not be a problem for it to be released at the end of this year.

In order to fight against this big ship, prevent it from causing a box office effect in the United States and then wreaking havoc in the international film market, let the Americans export their set of American values ​​​​to the world, and establish in the hearts of many people that American blockbusters are Well, American blockbusters have a wonderful concept, but Xu Ang has always targeted it.

Whether it's Quick Strike 1 that makes its way out early, or Transformers 1 with the help of sign-in rewards, they are all trying to plunder the wallets of old Mi movie fans before the truck driver's big ship is released. The purpose is to wait until Trucker's Big Boat comes out. Many of Laomi's fans will spend more than they have budgeted for this year, so they don't go to the cinema to save money.

Although it’s unclear how effective this is, it’s worth trying.

Lasseter mentioned the truck driver's big boat at this time. Could it be that there was something wrong with the filming of that big boat?

Xu Ang was looking forward to this answer. If that was the case, it meant that the wind brought out by the flapping wings of his butterfly had already begun to affect many things.

Unfortunately, the answer is not that.

Lasseter said: "Investors have lost confidence in the truck driver's ship, and they are looking for new investors to enter. Originally, Fox and Paramount were discussing this matter, but I asked someone to let some news out and put it out The true 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 in trouble, and everyone is not optimistic about it. Boss, what do you think we should do? "

Um? !

Xu Ang's eyes suddenly lit up.
