Start by trimming cow hooves

The fourth Thursday in November, Thanksgiving Day.

Suri's family didn't have a Thanksgiving tradition, but since he happened to be in Los Angeles, he took Yuko Hoshino back to Chinatown to have lunch with his grandparents while he had nothing to do at noon.

I found a Cantonese restaurant and ordered signature dishes such as roast goose, crispy squab, Ah Yit abalone and so on.

Discovering that Suri had another female companion, even though it was his own grandmother, he felt helpless. While Hoshino Yuko was going to the bathroom, he reminded her of the tonic wine she had brought before and remember to drink a glass before going to bed every day.

In addition, there is love from my biological grandfather.

The old man asked the waiter to serve a special mutton soup with more wolfberry. He also went to the barbecue restaurant next door and bought two skewers of mutton kidneys, saying that he should take more supplements in winter.

Suri wanted to remind her that there is no winter in Hawaii at all. She is strong and does not need major supplements.

But the dishes had already been ordered, so I didn’t bother to talk about it any more.

The more we talked, the more awkward it became, and it became clear that he was regarded by his elders as a young man who didn't know how to restrain himself and was a philanderer everywhere.

This is not a good thing for the older generation, whose ideas are far less open-minded than Suri's parents.

At the dinner table, it is nothing more than chatting about home affairs and what has happened recently.

Hoshino Yuko is rarely gentle and quiet. She doesn't know how to find a topic. When she was asked a question during the meal, she only answered a few words.

I often meet a few elderly people, so there is no need to be too polite. I wiped my mouth after lunch, and Su Rui walked away immediately after paying the bill...

Many people take advantage of Thanksgiving to go home to spend time with relatives and friends.

There seemed to be fewer cars on the streets of Los Angeles than usual. Suri was familiar with the roads. When he drove the Ferrari Enzo back to Beverly Hills, he happened to receive a call from Dadario.

She complained on the other end of the phone and said:

"I had dinner with my younger brothers and sisters the day before yesterday, and went to the Victoria's Secret headquarters early yesterday morning. Today, my parents finally took the opportunity and interrogated me for a long time, asking what was going on between me and you."

Suri, who was already dead, was not afraid of boiling water. He took a walk by the outdoor swimming pool to eat and asked, "What did you tell them?"

"What else can I say? It's just that we are trying to date each other. My mother asked about you and Yuko walking on the red carpet. I only said that we are friends and cooperate in business. We are just helping to promote it."

Daddario was on the other end of the phone, shaking his check and making a sound, and said with a smile:

"Did you hear it? It's the sound of 2 million US dollars. I will cash it out when the bank works. Can you recommend a reliable tax accountant for me? I finally experienced the feeling of having to pay taxes. The tax is equal to a Lamborghini sports car. , it really hurts me so much.”

Suri also got a check from Victoria's Secret and reminded her at this moment:

"Wait until you return to Los Angeles to cash it. Anyway, it will be useless even if someone steals the check. I will ask my accountant to help you make a plan on how to save taxes. It is not cost-effective to pay off the mortgage early. How to make money with money That's the key. The stock market has been doing very well recently. I'll help you open an account to buy Facebook and Apple stocks."

Daddario knew nothing about investment and financial management. She believed in Suri's vision. After hearing this, she smiled and said, "Thank you. I just checked the air tickets to Los Angeles. When will you return to Hawaii?"

Suri thought for a moment and replied:

"Let's wait until the filming of "The Walking Dead" starts. There is nothing to do when we return to Lanai. We will live in Los Angeles for a week or two, just in time to prepare for the second show."

"Already have an idea?"

"Yes, I don't have enough funds. I will make a small production first. I think I will make a vampire-themed romantic drama first. It will be wrapped in a magical shell. In fact, it will mainly focus on romance..."

Suri was referring to the show "The Vampire Diaries."

In his previous life, this drama was so popular that he even watched three or four seasons of it. Later, he didn't know why he stopped watching it. Overall, it was more popular with women.

It just so happened that Lily Collins was promised a heroine, and the heroine of "The Vampire Diaries" just suited her image.

As for "Breaking Bad", "Game of Thrones", etc., the investment is too high. When Netflix Entertainment has a small number of users, filming them early will easily cause the company to fall into a situation where the capital chain is broken.

If financing is initiated prematurely, it will not be in the interests of the company, nor will it be beneficial to Suri.

simply put.

It's just that if you take too long a step, it's easy to pull the balls.

If there is another "Prison Break" released next year, with these three dramas in the early stage, the user growth rate in at least the first half of next year will be relatively guaranteed, and it can draw traffic from the parent company of Netflix.

If the performance is good, then if funds permit, another new drama can be launched in the second half of the year. It takes a long time to cultivate user habits and open up the market, and I can’t rush it for a while...

In a living room decorated in a very modern style.

Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, Hoshino Yuko saw Suri talking on the phone recklessly outside.

I thought that this guy was really disgusting, even in front of me, I no longer covered it up.

But since she first met Suri, she knew what kind of character this guy was, so she couldn't say she was angry at the moment, just a little unhappy.

The old housekeeper from England saw her standing in front of a landscape painting and helped introduce her:

"This painting is a work by modern Chinese painter Zhang Daqian. It is a copy of the ancient painting "Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" from nearly a thousand years ago. In 2001, Su Rui's father bought it for US$2.7 million."

The housekeeper doesn't understand Chinese, and Hoshino Yuko also knows little about it. It seems that the picture is quite comfortable and the colors are beautiful.

There is no hope of buying "Thousands of Miles of Rivers and Mountains". The painting in front of you only copies a part of the scenery and is incomparable with the original famous painting handed down from generation to generation.

In 2001, the Nasdaq bubble had just burst.

Su Rui unexpectedly heard from a Chinese Chamber of Commerce banquet that someone wanted to sell Zhang Daqian's imitation of the painting, so he persuaded his father to buy it.

Over the past few years, the value has appreciated four to five times at least.

Judging from the rate of return alone, compared with investing in Internet companies, this investment is considered a failure, but it still looks very eye-catching when hung as a decoration at home.

Su Rui still has a lot of items like this that can be bought in advance while the price is cheap.

For example, in the bulletproof glass cabinet on the wall of the staircase, there is a Northern Song Dynasty Ru kiln azure glaze tea cup, which was also purchased at a Sotheby's auction in 2001 for US$1.2 million.

If the old housekeeper didn't introduce him, how could Hoshino Yuko know it?

After Su Rui finished the call, he entered the room and asked:

"Ashton invited me to play mahjong at his house last night. I heard that he bought an automatic mahjong machine. Will you go with me to pick a bottle of red wine from the wine cellar?"

Hoshino Yuko asked curiously: "Did you live here before and just play cards, drink, and wander around every day?"

Su Rui sounded puzzled:

"Otherwise? Sitting at home and watching dramas all day will get boring after a long time. Basically, I have to get together with them once or twice a week."

"... I'm also doing business, but my father is obviously very busy. He has meetings from early in the morning to reading documents until evening."

Suri knew that her relationship with her father was very tense, so she joked:

"Maybe it's because I'm more capable. It turns out that the time spent is not necessarily directly proportional to the income. As long as you choose the right project, the money will make money on its own. Just like if you find the right man like me, you will succeed if you want." It becomes very easy. I will play mahjong later. If Ashton’s wife is at home, you can ask her for advice on how to learn acting..."
