Goldfinger is a bit strange
Chapter 704: Girls change a lot when they grow up (1/2)
After staying in the Windy City for one night, Liu Qingshan and his team returned to Los Angeles.
The returning team was expanded, with a boxing champion, his son Ali and an assistant.
Ali had made up his mind to receive Chinese medicine treatment for a period of time, including medication and acupuncture.
Although his assistant also privately dissuaded him and warned him not to take those Chinese medicines easily.
But Ali knew his own body best, so his attitude was very firm.
In order to facilitate diagnosis and treatment, Ali was placed in a hotel near Chinatown.
The plan formulated by the dumb grandfather was one course of treatment every seven days, and then three days of rest, a total of five courses of treatment, which basically controlled Ali's Parkinson's disease.
After the medical team entered Chinatown, they became the busiest people. Not only Chinese people came to see the doctor, but also some foreigners came one after another to join in the fun.
Of course, everyone was welcome, but the Chinese medicine clinic in Chinatown was booming.
The boss had urgently transported the medicinal materials, otherwise, there would be no medicine to get.
Even Professor Peter came twice, accompanied by the cheerful Ba Gu Shen. They came specially to prepare tiger bone wine.
I don’t know where they got a complete set of tiger bones from, which made Liu Qingshan laugh: Why would you need so much? It’s not like you’re drinking tiger bone powder.
“The rest is for you, just consider it as our consulting fee.” The future stock god is generous.
Liu Qingshan was not polite. Of course, he had to keep more of this stuff. In two years, tiger bones will be restricted. It’s better to be prepared.
Many prescriptions that originally required tiger bones were forced to be changed to bones of other animals. Do you think the effect can be the same?
Many times, Chinese medicine is actually dragged down by Chinese medicine.
Because the ingredients of those cultivated Chinese medicines are too different from those of wild authentic medicinal materials.
Liu Qingshan was busy running around, and before he knew it, it was mid-August.
With the end of the summer vacation, Home Alone, which lasted for nearly a month, was finally released. The final box office was fixed at a little over 310 million, which can be said to be a great success.
Hurricane Films, needless to say, has made a great comeback and finally expanded its scale.
By then, it will no longer be a small shrimp at the bottom of Hollywood, but a medium-sized film and television company.
You know, in Hollywood, a big IP can make a living for a lifetime.
Just like this Home Alone, it is completely possible to continue to shoot sequels, and even if the box office is bad, it will not be too bad.
To be honest, even if Hurricane Films is sold now, it can sell several hundred million US dollars with this IP.
It takes a period of time to share the box office dividends, so Hurricane Films has to wait slowly.
This distribution is very complicated, and even the distribution ratio is different every week.
And there are many people involved in the distribution: producers, distributors, theaters, promoters, etc., are all waiting to ask for money.
By the way, the most important thing is that you still have to pay taxes. In this country, the most powerful people are not the police, but the tax bureau.
Chambers calculated that the actual dividend of their Hurricane Company was just over one-third.
Mainly because the company is small, the share ratio is lower. If it were a big company like Disney, they would dare to ask for 60 to 70 percent directly from the theaters.
However, Hurricane Films will definitely make a lot of money this time, because it can collect 110 million in dividends from CAA alone.
So did CAA lose a lot? In fact, Mr. Ovitz, the president of CAA, can wake up with a smile in his dreams these days.
In terms of box office sharing, CAA can recover the 110 million lost.
The rest of the overseas box office and other copyrights are all profits.
For such a popular movie, the overseas box office will definitely earn several hundred million. Although the dividend is lower, 100 million can still be guaranteed.
So, there is no loser in this bet.
Because of the big profit this time, Hurricane Films has begun to prepare for the new film with great confidence. In addition, Liu Qingshan’s promotion on the talk show has attracted much attention for the new film.
After seeing off Director Zhang, Brother Long and others, Liu Qingshan also took Xiao Li's car and went from Los Angeles to San Francisco.
The two cities are about a thousand miles apart, and the roads here are famous for being good, so it only takes a few hours.
The car took Highway 1. Xiao Li said that the scenery along the way here is the most beautiful, and you can often meet more beautiful girls.
The two ran all the way, and the scenery was indeed good, but Xiao Li was looking forward to the girls standing on the roadside to stop the car, but there was none.
This time when he went to San Francisco, Liu Qingshan's goal was of course Silicon Valley, where the technology companies that are about to go public are located.
San Francisco is similar to Los Angeles. It is also a coastal city, and it is also a peninsula city surrounded by the sea on three sides. It is very cool in summer.
When entering the city, Xiao Li shouted that he was hungry and wanted to go to the famous Fisherman's Wharf to eat seafood. It is said that the seafood there is the best in the United States.
However, when Liu Qingshan set out, he had already called Jiang Renyi and made an appointment to meet in Chinatown here, so he tricked Xiao Li into going to Chinatown for Chinese food.
Due to historical reasons, the Chinatown here is also the largest in the United States.
More than a hundred years ago, Chinese workers came here, mostly panning for gold, so this place was called Gold Mountain.
Later, in order to distinguish it from New Gold Mountain in Australia, it was gradually called San Francisco, and it has been used to this day.
Driving all the way to Chinatown, the style of the street changed immediately, making Liu Qingshan feel like he was back in China.
At the entrance, there were still four big characters written by Mr. Sun: "天下为公".
Mr. Sun had lived in this city for a while. When he came here from Honolulu, he was even arrested and put in a detention center because they were afraid that he would cause trouble.
Chinatown can be driven by cars, but the roads are quite crowded, so they simply parked the car in the parking lot outside and walked in.
As for the two assistants accompanying Xiao Li, that is, the driver and bodyguard, Xiao Li sent them to move freely.
There were many shops on both sides, and most of the signs were Chinese characters. There were the most shops and restaurants, and many foreigners could be seen coming in and out.
The Chinese restaurants here are known to be the most authentic in the United States.
When Xiao Li saw these restaurants, he couldn't move a step, and he was really hungry.
"Promising." Although Liu Qingshan said so, he was actually a little hungry.
He took out his cell phone and called Jiang Renyi. He learned that they had already booked a banquet at a seafood restaurant and were waiting for Liu Qingshan.
After asking for directions, Liu Qingshan could only buy a set of pancakes for Xiao Li. This guy was actually eating happily.
Liu Qingshan would not eat it. He would save his stomach for the seafood feast.
At the door of a restaurant called Little Fisherman's Wharf, Liu Qingshan finally saw Jiang Renyi.
In more than three years, Jiang Renyi has also changed a lot. He has become more mature and restrained, and has the demeanor of a general.
"Boss."
Jiang Renyi stepped forward and shook hands with Liu Qingshan, with a close but respectful demeanor.
"Thank you for your hard work." Liu Qingshan patted Jiang Renyi's arm. This was definitely not a cliché.
Liu Qingshan's eyes fell on Jiang Renyi's temples, where a few strands of white hair had already emerged.
Jiang Renyi also noticed Liu Qingshan's gaze, raised his hand and gently stroked his temples: "Maybe it's because I'm not used to the climate here. I started to grow gray hair when I came here."
"Don't wait until your hair turns gray."
Liu Qingshan looked at Jiang Renyi with a smile: "What you are doing is the most meaningful thing. Decades later, when you look back on the past, you will feel no regrets about this period of youth."
Jiang Renyi nodded, then turned sideways to let a girl behind him pass.
Liu Qingshan stared at the girl for a long time. She was a very quiet girl with a neat short hair and a little baby fat on her face.
She was a little fat, or maybe plump is more appropriate.
Because it's rare to find such a fat person in China in this era.
Looking at the other person's thick myopic glasses and the familiar eyes behind the lenses, Liu Qingshan asked in confusion:
"Yu Miao?"
The girl smiled and nodded: "Classmate Liu, it's me."
Liu Qingshan finally matched the very feminine person in front of him with the fat female classmate in his memory.
It can't be said to be a coincidence, but rather an erasure of the previous image.
"It really fits the old saying that girls change a lot when they grow up, Yu Miao, I almost didn't recognize you, you really gave me a big surprise."
Liu Qingshan reached out to Yu Miao, but the latter opened his arms and gave him a hug.
"Thank you, classmate Liu."
These two simple words, spoken from Yu Miao's mouth, made people feel heavier than a thousand pounds.
It feels like Yu Miao is now a different person. Of course, it is not just the environment that prompts this change, but also her inner beliefs.
Liu Qingshan knows that Yu Miao's heart is extremely strong.
At this time, Jiang Renyi interrupted: "Miao Miao is so powerful now, her level has surpassed mine, especially in programming, she is simply a genius."
"Okay, it's just right to write something small and give these first-generation netizens a little surprise." Liu Qingshan's smile was a bit playful.
Since we are going to shoot The Matrix, we must first make the concept of virus programs deeply rooted in people's hearts.
So Liu Qingshan was going to do something in this regard, preferably with a prank nature, to scare the young netizens who didn't know the depth of the situation.
Then the company would launch free antivirus software, which would be perfect.
However, this plan must be kept secret, and Liu Qingshan was going to talk to Yu Miao alone.
Then, he introduced Xiao Li to Jiang Renyi and others, because Xiao Li had helped a lot at the beginning.
Xiao Li's contribution to the successful listing of technology companies was not small.
He first helped to find a small technology company on the verge of delisting, and its stock price was about to drop below one US dollar.
Generally speaking, stocks below one US dollar are basically equivalent to delisting, and there is a one in ten thousand chance of reviving. 7K妏婩
Xiao Li used his family's relationship to privately help acquire the stocks of this small company, and then borrowed the shell of this small company to go public.
Backdoor listing is very common in the stock market, and you can even hire a professional team to help you operate, as long as you are willing to pay a high commission.
The reorganized company's official name is "EarthNetwork", which can be simply and roughly translated into Earth Network.
Anyway, the Internet is still in its infancy, so you can choose any name, but of course it has to be more impressive.
Several people entered the seafood restaurant together. There were six or seven people in the reserved private room. When they saw Liu Qingshan and his team come in, they all stood up to welcome them.
Most of them were young people, and there was even a black girl who seemed to be very familiar with Yu Miao.
"Everyone, nice to meet you for the first time."
Liu Qingshan's eyes swept across everyone's face, making people feel like they were bathed in spring breeze.
The people present were the main creators of Earth Network, mostly young people, with only one middle-aged man in his forties, Adrian, who was in charge of the company's administrative affairs and executive vice president.
Jiang Renyi introduced them one by one. There were two Chinese students: Zhang Zhipeng and Liu Bin.
The rest were locals. The older administrative director was Wayne, and the black girl was Alina.
A slovenly young man rushed directly to Liu Qingshan's side: "Oh, BOSS, can you teach me a few tricks?"
This guy is called Hunter. Most of the technical people are like this, with a sloppy appearance. Liu Qingshan estimated that this guy must have not shaved his beard for half a month.
"Hunter, the boss is a musician." Another long-haired young man named Nathan put his arm around Hunter's shoulders and pushed him back to his seat.
Then Nathan came up to Liu Qingshan and said, "Boss, can I learn to play an instrument with you, the kind you play on TV? When I hear that sound, I feel very peaceful and can concentrate on my work."
"Sure, I'll give you a clay flute when the time comes."
Liu Qingshan patted Nathan's shoulder. These guys are really so familiar with each other.
Liu Qingshan didn't know that he has become an idol of many young people on this continent: young, rich, and most importantly, versatile.
Especially, this group of otakus who study code all day long admire him very much.
And their idol is actually their boss, no wonder they are so excited.
Originally, the relationship between the team led by Jiang Renyi has always been very harmonious, and the working atmosphere is also very good.
After the introduction, everyone sat down, and Liu Qingshan said:
"Everyone, Internet technology is a major track for development in the next few decades. As practitioners in it, your future is limitless."
These people also showed pride on their faces. The world of otakus is so simple and happy.
"Becoming a member of our Earth Network will be the most important choice and opportunity in your life."
"How big is this piece of cake? I want to say that it is immeasurable. Your future may be the current Bill Gates."
Oh!
Hunter and his friends couldn't help but make strange noises, because Bill is also their idol.
The middle-aged man Adrian was much calmer than these rookie young people. He just smiled at Liu Qingshan.
Liu Qingshan opened his hands and made a gesture of lifting up:
"The slogan of our Earth Network is that the earth is in my hands!"
This sentence is still very inspiring. The young people present couldn't help but get excited. Hunter even screamed:
"The earth is in my hands, oh, BOSS, this is so cool!"
Liu Qingshan looked around: "So I solemnly warn you here that you are all shareholders of the Earth Network. No matter how much our Earth Network's stock will rise, don't sell it easily, otherwise you will definitely regret it."

The earth is hazy, and there is a ruined city, silent and lifeless in the dim blood rain.
The city is in ruins, everything is withered, collapsed houses can be seen everywhere, as well as blue-black corpses and pieces of meat, like broken autumn leaves, silently withering.
The streets that used to be bustling are now bleak.
The sandy road that was once crowded with people is now no longer noisy.
Only blood mud mixed with minced meat, dust, and paper remains, which is indistinguishable and shocking.
Not far away, a broken carriage is stuck in the mud, full of sadness, with only an abandoned rabbit doll hanging on the shaft, swaying in the wind.
The white fluff has long been soaked into wet red, full of eerie weirdness.
The turbid eyes seem to have some resentment, looking at the mottled stones in front of them alone.
There, a figure is lying.
This is a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy, with tattered clothes, full of dirt, and a broken leather bag tied around his waist.
The boy squinted his eyes and did not move. The biting cold penetrated his shabby coat from all directions, swept his whole body, and gradually took away his body temperature.

Following his gaze, a skinny vulture was gnawing on the rotten corpse of a wild dog about 70 to 80 meters away from him, and occasionally vigilantly observed the surroundings.
It seemed that in this dangerous ruin, the slightest movement would instantly make it fly into the air.
