American TV series

Damn French!

He actually laid an ambush in Chad 87 years in advance to fight against me!

It's so shameless!

After scolding the French a few times, Sean asked again: "Where did Chad buy weapons from the French? Do they have the money?"

"Of course, Chad is rich in oil."

"No, I remember that Chad is one of the poorest countries in the world." Oil tycoon? Sean tilted his neck with a look of disbelief.

"Yes, the common people in Chad are the poorest in the world, but that doesn't mean that the rich there don't have money. Do you understand what I mean?" Reagan smiled and shook his head: "Although the international crude oil market is very sluggish now, although Chad's industrial level is very good.

It is lagging behind, but with a daily production of more than 30,000 barrels of crude oil, even at the current crude oil price, it can earn more than 300,000 US dollars a day, and this is just crude oil."

"In addition, Chad is rich in trona, and the French planted cotton in Chad 80 years ago."

"Okay, I have money, but I found that the weapons are very poor?" Sean spread his hands, the poorer the place, the more rich people can appear, what the hell...

"Africa is not without money, but we cannot directly sell them any advanced weapons, not even the first batch of eliminated products. This is a tacit agreement." After thinking about it, Reagan said ambiguously.

Sean blinked and immediately understood what was going on. Firstly, he could make a lot of money by selling garbage. Secondly, he could maintain military suppression in Africa, which would facilitate robbery...and facilitate economic cooperation!

"Okay, you mean the French won't let me sell weapons there?" Sean frowned.

"It's difficult to even transport weapons in!" Reagan said with a smile: "Chad is a landlocked country, and the countries near the sea are Libya, North Sudan, Nigeria, and Cameroon."

"There is a war in North Sudan, and there is no road to transport you. The most convenient place is Cameroon, followed by Nigeria, but this is also the sphere of influence of the French." When he said this, Reagan smiled unkindly.

Sean:(O_o)??

The French are so annoying!

How to stumble the French?

Otherwise Sean would feel uncomfortable!

Make a note of it and talk to Thompson Alves later. You must get a piece of the pie.

"Have you figured out what to do?" Reagan looked at Sean with a smile.

"Okay, give me a batch of old aircraft, the kind of ground attack aircraft from World War II, with propellers and tug-of-war cannons."

"You're kidding, there's no such thing!" Reagan shook his head like a drum, "We started using jet fighters at the end of World War II, and the ones you mentioned have been rotten for a long time."

"No more?" Sean was stunned.

"No, Sean, you have to understand that they are airplanes. There are only so many countries in the world that can produce airplanes. As for propeller ground attack aircraft, don't think about it. There are also propeller aircraft for agricultural use."

"Uh..." Sean scratched his head. In fact, to deal with Toyota tactics, armed helicopters are the best. It is easy to use cannons to fight from a high position.

But now, according to Reagan, he absolutely cannot sell advanced gold weapons to Africans. Sean also understands this argument.

Then you can only...

Sean turned his head and looked east. What do you mean by being the leader of the third world?

However, Sean still kept the propeller fighter in mind, and was going to talk to old man David later. If I remember correctly, there will be a propeller fighter in the future that will sell very, very well, and will be sold all over the world!

That’s the Super Toucan from Brazil!

It is definitely not easy to use against other fighter jets, and it is difficult to fight tanks, but it is not very useful when used against anti-government armed forces, drug criminals, etc.!

For a moment, Sean couldn't think of any benefits. At this time, Weinberg helped to mention, "The working environment of the domestic police is a bit too dangerous, and they are in urgent need of professional training. Umbrella Company happens to have the ability to provide training for the police."

"Yes!" Sean also remembered after being reminded.

The umbrella can undertake police training tasks, but the US police are divided into federal police, state police, and county police, which are not subordinate to each other. Reagan can only command the federal police.

There are more than 30,000 federal police officers, and this order can bring Sean more than 20 million US dollars in income every year.

After all, the so-called training only requires a venue, some firearms and instructors, and the cost is very low. The biggest cost of this business is maintaining relationships.

There are more than 900,000 police officers in the United States.

In addition, Sean can also obtain a right from Reagan for the umbrella, a nationwide legal gun permit.

Although leaving the white house was somewhat different from what was expected, it can be said that the plan was fulfilled.

Making money is the same!

If all these tasks can be opened, Sean's financial crisis can be alleviated to a certain extent.

Yes, relief!

"Sean, you'd better find a way to clean out the 1.5 billion as soon as possible. Oh, there are only 1.3 billion left now, otherwise, you will go bankrupt!" After returning to Newark from Washington, Shen Bi's first words when they met were:

I can't fuck Sean anymore.

"No, can you stop scaring me with bankruptcy!" Sean pursed his lips and looked at Shen Bi helplessly, "Bankruptcy, bankruptcy, you've been so damn broke all day long!"

"My hard-earned money is here!"

"Where's the money!"

"I'll tell you some good news. Two projects in Los Angeles have already started construction, so it's like running out of money." Shen Bi had a smile on his face, but it looked like he was gloating about his misfortune. "In addition,

There is no fluctuation in international crude oil prices, and it is a pool of stagnant water. Therefore, Husky Energy Canada's ability to turn a profit now is already its biggest contribution, and you can't ask for more."

"In addition, your credit card business is indeed a genius idea, and it is running very smoothly. Hundreds of stores have been opened and tens of thousands of employees have been hired. It is great. The market value of Sean Bank is plummeting rapidly. No one is optimistic about this.

This kind of crazy expansion, and you don’t want to know Sean’s monthly expenses now, it is an astronomical figure, 35.2 million US dollars!”

Sean stared at Shen Bi: You know I don’t want to know and you still tell me!?

"As for when the credit card business will be operational, we don't know when it will reach breakeven. It is estimated that in the next two years, at least 500 million U.S. dollars will need to be invested!"

"Under your wise leadership, New Century Media, which has just reached breakeven, has embarked on a new round of expansion, causing a big shock in the media industry. You have successfully established the reputation of media tycoon Sean in North America. Congratulations, but

, maybe you didn’t see the schedule that Pete Chernin reported.”

"A dedicated national entertainment radio station, a dedicated national sports radio station, just the broadcast rights contract with the four major sports leagues will make you bankrupt!"

Sean's face turned completely dark. There were many properties, but very few could make him a lot of money.

At present, the main source of income is still security companies and gray income...

Even so, without the huge sum of money from the big dog, Sean would still be damned bankrupt!

Mainly, the trades that Sean knew about that could make a lot of money in a short period of time were all from around 2000. Well, all those trading fools knew about them.

Sean only knew about things in the east in the mid- to late 1980s. At that time, foreign information couldn't get into the east at all, so he naturally didn't understand.

He knows that making money from oil is still at its lowest ebb, otherwise he would have mobilized the power of his protective umbrella to grab a few oil fields in Africa.

Of course, he also knew that real estate in Hong Kong Island was very profitable, but he didn't like the wealthy Sean.

Sometimes Sean regrets it. If he were reborn in the east, he would have...

Crushed to death by the iron fist of socialism...

Sean's head was buzzing, but Shen Bi was still beeping.

"Oh, by the way, you also need to expand the scale of the umbrella. After calculation, this time we need at least 2,000 people in the short term. We also need to open many training grounds and deploy branches around the world. Wow, it's another huge expense. It's really Beautiful!" Shen Bi gave a thumbs up in a weird way.

"Many times we say that some of the nouveau riche don't know how to spend money at all, and they won't spend any money given to them. I admire you most on this!"

"Compared with spending money, you, Sean, are number one in the world!"

"You don't even have the guts to spend money like Rockefeller!"

"When it comes to investing, it's really like, bang, I dare to rush in as soon as I slap my head!"

"Ah!"

"Okay, shut up, I will clean the money and give it to you very quickly!" Sean said bitterly.

"I'll give you one week!" Shen Bi sneered, "Are you sure?"

"Sure!"

"Really or not, what can you do?" Shen Bi looked unbelieving. 1.3 billion, not 130,000, how could it be cleaned up so quickly?

"Can I ask the King of Morocco to clean it for me? With a national level of power, more than a billion can't clean it?" Sean tilted his head and glanced at Shen Bi disdainfully, "You are so short-sighted!"

Shen Bi:(｀ω)

Okay, let's find a country to help us with the money. This is... at the national level. This doesn't count as money.

What is it?

State capital injection?

Your mother!

Things were very busy, so Sean immediately contacted the Moroccan side, and then asked Shen Bi to transfer the money, and Shen Bi turned around and left.

Sean comforted Le Huizhen, and after spending another 2 hours frantically signing a lot of documents from other companies, he took the Australian girl on the plane and headed straight to Los Angeles.

What does it mean to make a thousand miles in a day?

It was already the next morning when we arrived in Los Angeles. Fortunately, we had our own palace in the sky, so we didn't waste any time resting. I felt energetic in the morning.

Well, Nicole Kidman is a little depressed and her body is full of traces left by Sean.

When he arrived at the company with Monroe, Katzenberg personally led someone to greet him at the door, and two employees even held banners...

Sean pursed his lips, swayed up the stairs with his hands behind his back.

Things had been explained before. When we arrived, we went directly into the screening room. Sean wanted to watch the edited versions of "Red Zone" and "Thelma and Louise".

The relevant people have all arrived. In theory, Sean should sit in the front row, but...

Sean, who is sitting in the last row, has Maggie Cheung on his left and Michelle Yeoh on his right. It's so dark. This is the rhythm of watching a movie.

After the two films were released, Sean was overall satisfied. There were some changes, but the completion of the film was very complete and the story was told very clearly.

Especially the revised version of "Red Zone" is no longer a one-man show for Jackie Chan, and Michelle Yeoh's performance is also very beautiful.

Returning to the conference room, Sean finally explained his purpose, "There are a few shots that need to be reshot."

After saying that, he waved and Menlo brought out two machines, one large and one small, one was a handheld card swiping machine and the other was a desktop QR code scanning cash register. He explained what a credit card is and what a card swiping machine is. There are card swiping machines.

How convenient it will be later.

After the explanation, Sean said: "All the scenes that require payment are re-filmed. Bars and hotels all use credit card machines. Fanglong, your supermarket over there needs to replace it with cash registers. Just a quick reminder, you need to use credit card machines."

Explain the function clearly and understand!”

"In order to cooperate with the credit card machine business, I have invested 500 million in the bank. I think you didn't ask!"

Originally, the directors were all frowning and thinking about how to deal with it, but when they heard Sean mention that he had invested 500 million, they immediately gave up the idea.

If you dare to cause trouble for Sean at this time, I'm afraid you don't want to die!

"But..." Ridley Scott looked at Sean with some embarrassment, "I have absolutely no objection, but in Thelma and Louise, the thief stole 6,000 US dollars from the protagonist is an important turning point. If you use a credit card

...The entire plot will have to be reshot.”

"Simple!" Sean waved and said with a smile: "Add a plot. In the hotel scene, the heroine is afraid that the card swiping opportunity will reveal her actions, so she can only use cash. In the end, she is stolen by a thief, and she regrets it until she collapses."

"Using a credit card can effectively prevent theft, what a great advertisement!"

"At that time, I will ask the police to be interviewed. The police will recommend that the government vigorously promote credit cards. This will play a key role in the police tracking fugitives and kill two birds with one stone!"

Ridley Scott raised his thumb high, and there was applause in the conference room. Sure enough, capitalists can come up with any crazy ideas in order to make money.

Advertising placement has been around in Hollywood for a long time, but there are too few that can be placed quietly and with strict logic.

"Katzenberg, the company will also include these two products in several movies it has produced, especially "Basic Instinct 2", such as the flashing street advertisements in the shot, the salesman promoting the credit card machine, etc.

Let the screenwriters use their brains, and if they do well, they will be rewarded, but if they do not, they will feed the sharks!"

"Just tell them this, I believe they will be very motivated!"

Katzenberg's mouth twitched, the point is to feed the sharks, right?

It’s really full of motivation!

"Oh, by the way, are there filming TV series here in New Century?"

The person in charge of New Century Media in the West Coast nodded immediately. All New Century Media's TV series were handed over to the film company for help in production. He was also called by Sean to attend the meeting.

"Let them join in!" Sean will not miss any promotion opportunity, "I don't care what you think of, even if it is a news program, the credit card machine must appear!"

The head of New Century's West Coast nodded quickly.

Finally, Sean looked at Katzenberg again, "As long as you think the movies being shot in Hollywood are good, let them install a credit card machine and you can pay them. You can negotiate the price with them."

"I don't need celebrity advertising, but in the past two years, my credit card machine will appear in all good movies and TV series. I want people in the United States and even the world to know about this product!"

This is the power of movies and TV series. The effect of this thing in publicity is much better than pure advertising.

In the east, movies have been the most important propaganda position from the beginning, so much so that movies will never have a chance to take off in the east!

Ahem, let’s change the topic...

After explaining the matter, Sean no longer paid attention. He was the boss, and naturally there were people below him who were busy behind him.

If the boss talks, the eunuch will break his leg.

Ka DaZuo made an appointment for dinner, but Sean still wanted to go. Everything was almost ready.

Before leaving, Sean took Monroe and explained for a while that their previous promotion methods were not working.

"Listen to me, I've already laid out the media promotion methods for you. It's just a few extra shots for the movie. It's not troublesome. It will appear on TV soon. However, in terms of local promotion, the promotion department

Their brains are too stiff!" Sean put his arm around Monroe's shoulders and said, "Tell the promotion department that if their brains continue to be so stiff, it's better to dig out their brains and feed them to zombies!"

"Shit!"

"I have designed two local promotion methods for you. Let's lay it out. First, free pre-installation, trial for 3 months, and you can return it at any time. If you are willing to continue the trial after 3 months, then you will pay."

"Second: Free installation, increase the credit card processing fee, and slowly make money back."

“The two methods will take up more funds, I know this, but so much investment has been poured in, so it’s not that bad.”

"What a genius promotion plan. Which merchants can completely avoid the financial pressure caused by the installation of the machine? This will have a decisive effect on the promotion of credit card machines!" Monroe waved his hands fiercely and said with excitement: "Boss, although you are always very

Unreliable, my investment behavior is always impulsive, I always spend money indiscriminately which leads to financial constraints, which makes me more and more stressed, I always threaten to send my employees to feed the sharks, always..."

Sean's eyes gradually narrowed.

"But at critical moments, boss, you are still very trustworthy."

"Maybe this is genius!"

Hahaha, Sean patted Monroe heavily on the shoulder. He was very discerning and his evaluation was very pertinent!

I just like people like Monroe who don't know how to flatter.

After the matter was settled, Sean did not stay in Los Angeles any longer. After discussing the mysteries of life with Maggie Cheung and Michelle Yeoh in the evening, he got on the plane and left early the next morning.

This time he is going abroad again, and it is not certain when he will come back. Sean, who has learned his lesson, is not ready to continue living that kind of Puritan life. He will definitely take a woman with him when he leaves.

Maggie Cheung and Maggie had to reshoot scenes, and they had to run for promotions for a while, so they didn't have much time. When Sean left, he took two other women with him, his first girlfriend Diane Lane and Black Pearl Halle Berry.

Instead of going straight to Libya, Sean stopped in Washington for two days.

When Sean went to Los Angeles to handle official business, Weinberg was not idle either. The former Secretary of Defense helped find some people.

Former retiree of the United States Diplomatic Security Service.

Since Sean has obtained the government personnel security service contract from Reagan, he must cooperate with DSS, so there is no better person to actually operate it than the former DSS director and retired personnel.

Do you want to give me the face of your old superior?

"Sean, let me introduce to you. This is the former head of the Diplomatic Security Bureau, Douglas Meeker." Weinberg pointed to a man with half-white hair standing next to him and said, "Douglas works in the Diplomatic Security Bureau.

He has been working in the Bureau of Diplomatic Security for 35 years since its establishment, starting from the grassroots level. No one knows the Bureau of Diplomatic Security better than him!"

Sean immediately took a step forward with a smile, took the initiative to extend his hands and shook hands with Douglas Meeker, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Douglas Meeker, it is my honor to get your help."

Douglas Meek, an ordinary-looking old man, came to see Sean. He was also wearing ordinary casual clothes and smiling. He was just like an old retired man you met in the park. He didn't look like an old man at all.

Agent look.

"I'm honored too." Douglas Mick said with a smile: "They say that Mr. Sean has a flamboyant and arrogant personality, but only when I actually met you did I realize that the rumors are not credible. Mr. Sean is just a comparison."

He is lively and sincere in his treatment of others."

"This will make some hypocrites uncomfortable, but this is how we live comfortably and truly!"

"As expected of an agent, he has a lot of vision!" Sean laughed loudly, "Those guys obviously hate me to death, but they still smile and seem to be welcoming every time we meet. How hypocritical!"

Weinberg smiled and shook his head. He was obviously moody, but when he came to you, he became sincere to others?

Sure enough, this job belongs to you!

Douglas Meeker is a guy who is very good at building relationships with people, and he made Sean very fond of him in just a few words.

After introducing Douglas Meek, Weinberg introduced another one, Sam Markas.

This one looked more serious, with a straight face, and was meticulous when shaking hands. Even the rhythm of his words was precise, "Hello, Mr. Sean."

"Mr. Sam Markas is a true expert. He has participated in the formulation of all DSS training plans, security measures, hostage rescue tactics, crisis response methods, etc. He is the middle force for the improvement of the DSS system." Weinberg

Continue to introduce.

Sean's eyes lit up. If Douglas Meeker is the best manager, then Sam Markas is the core competitiveness.

Umbrella has absolutely no problem in terms of offense. From the training system to the equipment to the personnel, they are all military elites, but when it comes to defense, when it comes to rescuing hostages...

Well, Umbrella is pretty good at taking out the hostages first!

Now that we have Sam Markas, we have made up for the last shortcoming of the umbrella. When we take on commercial security tasks in the future, we can say loudly that our security system is inherited from the United States Diplomatic Security Service and is the world's first level.

!

Sean entertained the two of them well. The specific salary was not discussed because the human resources department had not yet been established and the salary system could not be discussed, but this did not delay Sean's promise of a high salary.

For these two people, they actually value the job opportunities provided by Sean.

Due to the nature of DSS, there was little to gain during their tenure. After retirement, because they had been exposed to too many secrets and were very familiar with the internal system of US security, their job opportunities were strictly limited.

Large companies that are qualified to hire them do not need such a high-standard security system, and companies that need to improve their security services are not qualified to hire them.

Many retirees from security departments will encounter this situation, including retired senior military officials.

Therefore, when Weinberg invited him this time, the two of them readily agreed.

This is an adulterer and an adulterer, they hit it off immediately!
