Chapter 109: The Wayward Rich Second Generation

"Boss, this is a newspaper. Miss Garbo is on her way." The little elk put the newspaper about "confession" on the table.

"Well, arrange everything in the hotel, and remember to tell the housekeeper to put fresh roses in the room." Li Zitao picked up the newspaper and ordered casually.

Jane Haru, Li Zitao still remembers this woman, she looks a bit seductive, with a charm that makes people want to 'love' fiercely in her frailty.

Flipping through the previous issues of the newspaper, Li Zitao finally knew what 'confession' was all about.

In his opinion, this is someone taking advantage of his popularity and taking the opportunity to promote their new movie, what is it called?

"Hell's Angels, the son of former oil tycoon Howard Hughes invested in the filming, and two Arabian knights won the Oscar for Best Director..."

Li Zitao watched the above reports with relish, and became more and more interested in this little Howard Hughes.

After inheriting the family business, instead of becoming an oil tycoon, he safely handed over the company to a group of managers and collaborators, but instead came to Hollywood to make movies.

The rich and willful series is right.

But they didn’t come here to play tickets. After the first film was shot, because they were not satisfied, the film shot for $80,000 was burned to the ground.

Under the introduction of a friend, I met the talented director Lewis and began to cooperate with him in filming.

Within two years, all three films were profitable, and "Two Arabian Knights" also won the Best Director Award, which is not something ordinary people can do.

Check out his upcoming "Hell's Angels," "Brilliant!"

Even if Li Zitao watched it, he had to praise it. For a local war film about airplanes, this capricious rich man actually hired 1,700 extras, brought in 87 airplanes, and spent 400,000 yuan to decorate the scene.

It is no exaggeration to say that 87 aircraft are enough to arm the air forces of several small countries.

The investment before and after this drama is as high as 4 million dollars. What kind of concept is this?

Taking the eight major companies as an example, $500,000 is a big production with a huge investment, and a small producer can produce a well-made movie with $100,000.

Li Zitao bought 5 copper mines at a cost of 2.3 million dollars, and PepsiCo's purchase price was 2 million dollars.

The land price of the top ranch is 600 dollars per acre, and the price of land in District 22 is only 60 dollars per acre after Li Zitao's bidding.

The market price of the top-end high-end apartment he gave Yevic in downtown Chicago was less than $20,000.

To put it more bluntly, the value of 4 million US dollars in the 21st century of the previous life is equivalent to 1.2 billion US dollars.

In other words, this guy spent 1.2 billion US dollars to make a movie...

Avatar 237 million dollars?

Huge investment?

unprecedented?

That's because you didn't come to Blue Star, otherwise the truck driver wouldn't be a problem.

And Hughes is still a fan of airplanes, and his past was listed in detail in the newspaper.

He flew a plane to the sky at the age of 14. During the filming of "Hell's Angels", he personally flew the plane to participate in the filming.

He also suffered a minor concussion because of this, but that didn't stop his love of flying, see the interview with him.

"My last dream is to become the best pilot in the world, and one day I will realize it." In the photo, Hughes waved his arms in high spirits.

"Find a chance to get to know each other." Li Zitao put down the newspaper and said in his heart, "Isn't this a ready-made test pilot?"

He loves flying, is not afraid of death, has excellent driving skills, and dared to fly since he was a child. Is there a more suitable test pilot than him?

"Suddenly I hope that he will lose money in this drama, will this make it easier to bribe him?" Li Zitao said with a smirk.

Just as he was thinking about how to abduct the second generation of wayward oil and work for himself, Garbo's flight also stopped at the Chicago airport.

"Garbo, is it really okay for me to come?" Catherine followed Garbo out of the plane, with hesitation on her face.

"You are now a signed actor of DreamWorks.

Jiabao walked forward calmly, and the car that came to pick them up was parked beside the runway.

"Miss Garbo, welcome to Chicago. Pumma Hotel would like to extend a warm welcome and sincere greetings to you. We are honored to be recognized by you."

The smile on the housekeeper's face was as precise as a makeup photo. She put her hands in front of her navel and bowed gracefully to greet her.

"Thank you." Garbo knelt slightly to express his gratitude. Catherine, who was a little nervous behind her, followed suit. Fortunately, the housekeeper and others smiled at her.

"Garbo, did I behave very rude just now?" After getting into the car, Catherine was still thinking about her behavior just now.

Compared with Jiabao's generous performance, she is like a poor girl from a poor family who inadvertently broke into a noble reception.

"Don't worry about these things, at least for now." Garbo always looked calm and calm, and Catherine was very envious of her indifference.

"That's good." Catherine let go of her worries, and looked at this strange city through the car window with relish.

Since childhood, Catherine has been like a tomboy, never wearing makeup, climbing up and down, and participating in protest marches with her mother, like a female soldier.

When she was in school, people often called her a tomboy. Before she came to Hollywood, her image on Broadway was also biased towards a fierce and capable woman or warrior.

So she is not a weak and well-behaved woman who follows the rules. She reveals rebellion and restlessness from the bottom of her heart.

If he hadn't just moved from Broadway to Hollywood and changed to a brand new environment, he became friends with Garbo one step further, and had the opportunity to meet the big boss with her.

She would not behave like a quail, panicking and caring about the red tape, "A free-flying female fighter is the character that the Hepburn family should have."

The car stopped in front of the Pangma Hotel, and the little elk was guarding the door, "Miss Jiabao, welcome, the boss is already waiting for you."

"Just call me Greta, Jesse." Ever since he and Li Zitao developed into the current 'fucking' relationship, Garbo has a certain understanding of the people and things around him.

Li Zitao's personal secretary, the most trusted career steward, manages the internal contacts of all properties under his name, and his external image is his plenipotentiary representative.

Such a young and beautiful woman who sticks to Li Zitao every day, who holds great power, is naturally not ignored by Jiabao.

From the conversation with Aimo, it can be seen that the relationship between this woman and Li Zitao is also not simple.

Jealousy is out of the question, and hatred is even more nonsense.

Her status is nothing more than a 'mistress,' what qualifications does she have to care about these things.

On the contrary, after learning about her carefree and cute character, Jiabao thought that he could become friends with her, such as a close friend who exchanged information.

"Boss should be waiting." The little elk showed a sweet and harmless smile, and took the lead to walk into the hotel.

She is quite confused, and some people secretly say she is stupid, but it doesn't mean she doesn't understand anything!

At least for its own positioning, Little Elk has its own understanding, "Whether right or wrong, regardless of position, no matter who you are facing, wooing or threatening,

Always stand by the BOSS's side, take the BOSS's will as the will = a good day. "

Look, it is such a simple truth, this is the understanding of the little elk.

So whether it's the open and secret fights in the secretarial office, or the think-tank's savvy thinking they are superior, or the flattery of managers from various departments.

The little elk all put on a dazed face, who am I? where am i What are you going to do?

The little elk always accepts gifts, but every time she writes them down in a small notebook, she will tell the boss every time.

When Li Zitao was happy, hey, it was another card, the radish was cut at both ends, he was so happy...

The little elk felt the woman's kindness in trying to win her over, but whether she wanted to accept it or not had to wait until she asked the boss.

"The encouragement from the Great Demon King's love is terrifying, ying ying ying~~" The little elk's heart beat faster.

"Greta." Hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, Li Zitao stood up from the sofa, opened his arms and turned around with a smile.

"Katherine Hepburn, the newly signed actress of DreamWorks, I'll bring her along for promotion." After Garbo introduced Catherine behind him, he walked into the suite on his own.

The divine indifference and nobility on her face was extremely oppressive. For a moment, even Li Zitao was overwhelmed by her. Is this a domineering female president?

"..." The remaining two people looked at each other, a little sitting on their chairs.

This shit, just said his name and ran away. Is there such a person who introduces someone?

"Welcome, Catherine." Li Zitao lowered his arms in embarrassment, beckoning Catherine to sit on the sofa.

"Thank you." Catherine was a little cautious. After all, there were too many legends about the man in front of her. It was inevitable that she would feel nervous when she first met.

"Relax, I'm just your boss, not a man-eating tiger." As a joke, Li Zitao came to the wine cabinet and asked, "What would you like to drink?"

"QD." It is rumored that the big boss loves QD, so it must be true.

"You also like to drink this beer?" Seeing the complacency on Li Zitao's face, Catherine knew that her choice was right.

"Well, it's very popular in Hollywood, and it's a must for bars and parties." Catherine stood up and took the beer.

"I seem to have seen you somewhere?" After sitting down again, Li Zitao asked reminiscently.

This is not an old-fashioned pick-up stalk, it is that he really feels that he has seen her somewhere, but the impression is not deep.

"On Oscar night, we bumped into each other accidentally." Catherine originally wanted to say, "You blindly bumped into me." Considering the relationship between the two parties, it is better to save face for the boss.

"Yes, it was that night, it was really destined!" Li Zitao raised his glass as a gesture, and the two sipped the golden beer.

"I just arrived at DreamWorks. Is there anything wrong with it?" After waiting for a long time to see that Catherine did not speak, Li Zitao broke the silence again.

"Everything is fine. Miss Aymo takes good care of our newcomers, and I have a long experience in acting on Broadway, so I am not very unfamiliar with Hollywood."

This is a good time to behave, and Catherine hopes to impress him, at least let him remember herself clearly.

"Oh, you did it on Broadway?"

"Yes."

"What kind of characters are they?"

"Generally, I have experience playing strong women, fighters, feminist revolutionaries, etc., or playing male roles in reverse."

Catherine, who came to Hollywood, didn't want to be an unknown little role anymore. She longed for success, eager to attract attention, and eager to become a big star.

Earn a lot of money, live in a big house, go to high-end hotels, banquets, sit on the representative Rolls, and drink a bottle of red wine that can equal the annual income of an ordinary family.

If it weren't for this, she wouldn't have decisively rejected the RKO company that brought her into Hollywood after receiving the notice from DreamWorks.
