Chapter 287 Future Super Tycoon
Because there was no immediate firefighting, the fire in the hotel was not extinguished until late at night.
The hotel arranged for the passengers who ran out to live in another five-star hotel next door. As for the luggage that the passengers on those floors did not bring out in a hurry, there was no way to take it out.
Fortunately, Yin Jun's three big boxes full of ideas for scripts and programs were placed in Tang Shuxuan's home, otherwise the young man would have cried without tears at this time.
What is lost now is only some clothes and other luggage, which is nothing.
Tian Jiachun was even more upset. All the things she bought in Las Vegas these days were destroyed in the fire, including the souvenirs she bought in Beverly Hills in Hollywood.
Fortunately, the hotel has already made a promise that if it can prove that there is something in the suitcase, the hotel will compensate all according to the price, and even if there is no evidence, the hotel will compensate each passenger with 10,000 US dollars as compensation for luggage and spirit.
This aspect is very generous, and Tian Jiachun's ticket price happens to be in her small bag, so she can get compensation.
It's just that Tian Jiachun is a little dissatisfied again. The two books written by the boss seem to make more money than the compensation for the loss of a fire.
Yin Jun could only stare at her, and he was embarrassed to say that it was wrong for her to tease himself like this, let alone tell her that the money brought by these two books in the future would be at least one billion U.S. dollars. A little book manuscript fee is not necessary at all.
The night in Las Vegas is not so hot, but keeps the desert cold.
After Tianhou's sister wiped Yin Jun's medicinal wine again, the three of them were going to eat a buffet in the restaurant of this hotel. The food and drink expenses were also paid by the previous hotel. The Yankees will not shirk their responsibility on this point.
But as soon as they went out, they saw a tall American man in a suit standing in the corridor.
Seeing them coming out, the strong man ran over and said respectfully, "Excuse me, are you Mr. Yin and Ms. Deng?"
Yin Jun nodded, he thought it was the staff of the previous hotel.
"Hi, I'm here to pick you up for dinner, this way please." The strong man turned sideways and said.
"Dinner?" Deng Lijun said in surprise, "Isn't it on the second floor? You need someone to invite you. You are so polite."
"It's not at this hotel, it's at Cafferonti Restaurant, the best Italian restaurant in Las Vegas." The strong man still respectfully said, "Our boss invites two...three of you to have a light meal together. "
"Who is your boss? Do we know each other?" Yin Jun frowned.
In Las Vegas, it is not good to encounter such a situation, because here, they are not the masters.
The strong man smiled, "Mr. Yin, our boss is the one you saved today."
"Oh, so it was him!" Deng Lijun nodded beside her, "He left without a word in the afternoon, I thought he forgot to say thank you."
"It's not like that." The strong man shook his hand. Judging from his conversation, this man should be more than just a muscular bodyguard, "After my boss was rescued by Mr. It was very noisy, and the two were hugging and kissing... He decided to go to the hospital to treat the wound first. In fact, because he is not young, he just came out of the hospital just now, but fortunately there is nothing serious."
Deng Lijun's face turned red all of a sudden.
What is "hugging and kissing", this is old and unrefined!
Tian Jiachun could only assume that he had temporarily lost his hearing, and his face did not change. His eyes looking at the elevator seemed to be frozen.
"Please be sure to accept our boss' invitation. He sincerely wants to thank Mr. Yin." The strong man said sincerely, "In the eyes of our subordinates, Mr. Yin is also our benefactor. If something happens to the boss, we don't know How many people's fate will be changed..."
Hearing what he said, it was in line with the plot in the afternoon, and the place he went to was also a famous restaurant, so Yin Jun agreed.
After all, I only rescued that man in the afternoon, so it is impossible for him to be ungrateful and do something bad, right?
When they got down to the parking lot, they were greeted by a very spacious Rolls-Royce, which was very comfortable to sit in. There was also a small bar with several drinks and snacks on the table, just like sitting in the living room Same.
"This car is really nice!" Deng Lijun lay comfortably on the leather car seat, "If I sit on it when I go to sing, it will be equivalent to sleeping and resting."
Yin Jun only realized it after listening to it. At present, European and American stars already have very professional nanny cars, but there are very few special equipment for Asian stars, especially for singers like Deng Lijun who are running around in Southeast Asia. , Not at all, at most, when going from the airport to the hotel and to the performance venue, the car I took was a bit more spacious.
If Deng Lijun is equipped with a high-end nanny car now, it will be of no use.
Not to mention that she won't make a comeback in the next year, even if she does come back, all Southeast Asian countries are on the island, so can the nanny car be transported away with the plane every time?
Only this kind of star who is fixed in one place is suitable for a nanny car.
Las Vegas has a large territory, but the roads are not congested, and there are not many cars. Most of the people here are from out-of-town gamblers, and their favorite places are casinos, not outside.
After the 1990s, the number of tourists in Asia increased, and the economies of European countries became more developed, so that the number of tourists from abroad would increase and the tourism market here would be enriched.
For now, there are still more tourists on the Hollywood side.
Therefore, after driving for more than ten minutes, the car arrived at a large restaurant with a single door.
It is good that the United States is big. Even in the core area of the city, such a one-story restaurant covering an area of over a thousand square meters can be seen everywhere.
The strong man got out of another car and opened the door of the restaurant for them in advance. Yin Jun and the others walked in and found that there were no customers at all today, only a silver-haired middle-aged man standing in the middle of the lobby of Nuo Da. The man looked at them with a smile.
"My savior, welcome to come!" The middle-aged man smiled and gave Yin Jun a hug, and shook hands with Deng Lijun and Tian Jiachun enthusiastically with oriental etiquette, and complimented by the way, "Your girlfriend is very nice." Beautiful and charming."
Deng Lijun's face turned red again.
Yin Jun smiled slightly, "Thank you for the compliment."
Of course he would not explain anything to outsiders, besides, looking at Sister Tianhou's appearance, if he dared to explain, he would definitely make the sensitive Sister Tianhou very sad.
"Come on, please sit down."
The middle-aged man pulled out a chair for them, and the four of them sat at a table that was not too wide.
At this time, the waiter from the own restaurant came over and poured them a glass of champagne, and then began to serve the dishes slowly and orderly.
"Before eating, I would like to ask Mr. Yin." The middle-aged man looked at Yin Jun seriously, "I heard from the hotel security that you had already left the hotel and returned to the lobby, telling them desperately, There was also a drunk who fell asleep in the room on the 16th floor, they were unwilling to save me, but why did you, a stranger, come to save me?"
"Oh, maybe you don't remember clearly." Deng Lijun said on behalf of Yin Jun, "When we returned to the hotel, because you drank too much wine, you were opening the door very awkwardly, and then you said to us very politely, "Welcome to the United States", Ah Jun has a great impression of you. After he escaped with me in his arms, he thought of you, and then ignored my persuasion, ran in to call for help, but failed, so he ran to save me. You... You know, he was injured a few days ago, and because he saved you, he got burns on his body and back again!"
"So that's the case, but unfortunately I can't remember. But I should really thank my grandmother first, she told me to be kind and polite to people." The middle-aged man laughed.
"Introduce yourself." After laughing, the middle-aged man raised his glass and said with a smile, "My name is Lei Shidong, and I am in a business related to entertainment. Thank you, Mr. Yin, for saving me today, otherwise I will go immediately See God."
Redstone! ?
When Yin Jun clinked glasses with him, he paused for breath.
Could it be that Redstone?
While drinking champagne, Yin Jun began to look at this middle-aged man. Unlike the drunk at noon, he now has neatly combed hair and is wearing a suit. He looks like a successful person.
And looking at his appearance, Yin Jun felt more and more like that super entertainment tycoon who often appeared on TV.
"Coincidentally, I also do some things in entertainment." After taking a sip of champagne, Yin Jun put down his glass, "I'm from Xiangjiang, I'm a screenwriter, and I've produced several TV series."
"I know." Lei Shidong nodded, "Miss Deng is the most famous female singer in Asia, Mr. Yin, you are the most famous young genius and gold medal screenwriter in Xiangjiang."
When he said this, Deng Lijun was surprised, but at the same time, Yin Jun suddenly realized.
The young man remembered that when Lei Shidong's assistant met, the person named Deng Lijun was "Miss Deng". At that time, he thought that person was going to check the passenger list. Only now did he know that Lei Shidong had already investigated their origins .
"I have some theaters of my own in the United States. If Mr. Yin's future films are suitable for showing in the United States, I think I can provide a little convenience." Lei Shidong said with a smile, "Although my National Entertainment Company It’s not very well-known, but the theater business is still good.”
National Entertainment Corporation, its own theater chain...
With these two clues, Yin Jun has no doubts about the identity of this middle-aged man.
He is that Redstone, the super tycoon who owns Viacom, the flagship media and entertainment group, the super rich who owns Paramount, CBS TV and other industry giants!
Yin Jun subconsciously looked at Lei Shidong's right hand.
You know, when Lei Shidong was 55 years old, he suffered a serious fire, and his right hand was basically disabled.
But now it seems that Lei Shidong's right hand is still in good condition, and he was holding a wine glass just now.
wait a minute!
55 years old! ?
Lei Shidong was born in November 1923!
According to the rules of the United States, which does not count as imaginary age but only actual age, this year happens to be when he is 55 years old!
But no, according to Redstone’s self-report, the fire he encountered was in Boston because of a party held by Warner Brothers Film Company, and he almost died, and it was still at night!
"Mr. Lei Shidong, is your business in Hollywood?" Before Yin Jun could speak, Deng Lijun asked, "Why did you come to live in Las Vegas? And you don't even have an assistant .”
She felt that a rich man like Lei Shidong should have a lot of bodyguards and assistants around him, and he shouldn't be alone like today, and then almost had an accident.
"Oh, my company is in California, but I'm actually not as successful as you imagine, Ms. Deng, so when I'm free, I usually go out without an assistant. The Rolls Royce you're sitting in today is actually rented by me. Yes." Redstone said with a smile, "I came here yesterday to attend a party held by Warner Brothers Film Company, and then I had a drink with my friends this morning, and I didn't expect to encounter this accident..."
Yin Jun was stunned for a while.
All right.
This was indeed a Warner Bros. party, and Redstone was indeed caught in a fire.
But not in Boston, but in Las Vegas, not at night, but during the day, and this time Yin Jun was present to save him from the danger.
If it wasn't for Yin Jun, I'm afraid Lei Shidong would have died after drinking alcohol—more serious than in his previous life.
But Lei Shidong is worthy of God's love, even if the time and place of the disaster are changed, he can still meet Yin Jun and turn the danger into safety. This is the blessing of luck that a successful person must have!
Deng Lijun didn't think as much as Yin Jun thought. She was very happy with Lei Shidong's frankness, and her perception of Lei Shidong has improved a lot. After all, not everyone has the courage to admit that the things they entertain guests are actually It is rented.
Lei Shidong is a very funny and talkative person, which is one of the reasons for his success in the future.
During the meal, he talked about a lot of interesting things eloquently, so that people would not feel that he was verbose, and he would keep the atmosphere at the table lively.
Because everyone can barely be regarded as a person in the entertainment industry, Redondo also talked about some American movies and box office. These small experiences are fun for Deng Lijun and Tian Jiachun, but it is not a small thing for Yin Jun. Experiences that broaden horizons.
Lei Shidong also took it to heart. As early as when he inadvertently asked his assistant to investigate Yin Jun and Deng Lijun, he knew that Yin Jun was a genius—if he wasn't a genius, how could it be possible that the scripts of every movie and TV series were Can it be a big deal?
He is a person in this industry himself, and he knows the difficulty of making a good script, and even more so, how difficult it is for one person to make ten good scripts.
That is to say, Lei Shidong didn't know whether the cultures of the East and the West could be connected, otherwise he would ask Yin Jun to bring the notebook, and he would pass it over for Yin Jun.
Lei Shidong can mix well now and in the future. Although he has many shortcomings, he also has two biggest advantages.
The first is that he has a tenacious personality and does not give up. The second is that he is very principled in his conduct and actions, and he can count on what he says.
Yin Jun saved his life, how could he not want to repay Yin Jun?
After dinner, while the two girls were having dessert, Lei Shidong pulled Yin Jun to sit by the window next to him.
While smoking a cigar, he said to Yin Jun: "I really don't know how to thank you... I know it's too rough to talk about money... I don't know if you have any place where I can help busy?"
"No." Yin Jun said bluntly, "Before I saved you, I didn't know who you were, and I didn't save you for repayment, but since I knew you by fate, I couldn't watch you burn to death. It's that simple. In fact, it's really your luck. If the fire had spread to the safe stairway, I would definitely turn around and go downstairs. There is no way for me to rush in to save you at this time."
Although Lei Shidong is the future Hollywood super tycoon, Yin Jun doesn't care what his power can bring him.
Because he knew from countless examples he read from the Internet that all external forces are just an auxiliary function, and it is himself who can really make himself stronger.
In addition to relying on continuous efforts to continuously increase your talents, there is no other opportunity to improve yourself.
However, being able to meet Lei Shidong reminded Yin Jun of one thing.
Redstone is not an entertainment tycoon now, as you can see from a party at Warner Bros. Film Company, you can find him.
If it is changed in 20 years, let alone Warner Bros., even Time Warner Group, may not be able to invite Redstone.
When did Redstone make his fortune?
That is, between 1978 and 1984.
He devoted himself to the development of his own cinema chain company, and gradually developed it into the top five cinema chains in the United States.
Then relying on this part of the huge profits, Redstone bought some stocks of Columbia Pictures, Time Warner, and 20th Century Fox, and became a well-known tycoon in the industry.
But the foundation that really made him a great success lies in the fact that he sold most of his movie theaters, borrowed billions of dollars in debt, and acquired the Viacom Group. It was with this solid foundation that he finally Only then can he acquire Paramount and CBS consecutively and become a super tycoon in the American entertainment media industry.
It can be seen from the time period when Redstone made his fortune that now is the golden age of the development of American movie theaters, and it is a very good development industry.
If Yin Jun has money, he can come to the United States to invest in some movie theaters first, and build even a small movie theater with dozens of theaters, so as to lay a solid foundation for himself to enter Hollywood in the future!
Lei Shidong didn't know what Yin Jun was thinking of. Hearing Yin Jun's reply, he admired this talented boy from the East very much.
Not everyone can save others regardless of their own safety, and not everyone can be honest. In fact, I also save people on conditional terms, and I am not so fearless.
If it were Lei Shidong, Lei Shidong would definitely be like Yin Jun, to protect himself first and then talk about saving others.
When Yin Jun said this, it made people feel that he was very sincere.
And not everyone can refuse without thinking when someone else proposes a reward.
Especially in the minds of Americans, it is only right and proper to get paid after I help others. There is nothing to be ashamed of. The government will only praise and will not criticize.
Even when courts and police stations in the United States deal with cases of picking up other people’s wallets and other items, they will default to 10%-20% of the value of the items picked up. stuff of people.
Lei Shidong didn't say anything in return after that.
But he kept Yin Jun's kindness in his heart, and he will definitely do his best to help Yin Jun in the future, in order to thank him for saving his life today!
