Chapter 2571: Willful
This can be said to be the first time in a while that something did not develop according to Feng Yiping's wishes.
But the main reason for his frustration was not this.
He felt that the main reason for his frustration was that he felt that he was very likely to not be able to make the current bad situation better.
Although he knew the direction of some things, many of them were often remembered only when the time came, such as the things we encountered during the overseas relay of the Olympic torch this time.
He knew that more than ten hours later, the things encountered during the relay of the torch in Paris would be more annoying than the relay in London.
As for the relay in San Francisco on the 9th, there were not many reports at first, so he was not clear, but based on the current situation, he was afraid that it would be worse than what happened in Europe.
Because those guys who fled to India and forgot their origins were very active in the United States, and their most important organizations were also registered in the United States, specifically in New York - the headquarters of the United Nations is in New York, which is very conducive to their gaining a place in some international activities.
At this time, he probably understood why the domestic news media did not report the specific situation of the torch relay in London and Paris, but only reported the successful completion of the relay at a certain station from a positive perspective.
There are indeed very realistic considerations for doing so.
Because of the disclosure of the things that happened during the torch relay in London and Paris, many people in China now have great opinions about Britain and France, and some even shouted that they are not welcome to these countries.
If the United States and Australia are not welcome next...
Then we will still do this for this Olympics?
So the disgusting thing is here, whether it is the old guy who fled to India and his disciples, or Mia Farrow who was bewitched by them, and Hollywood stars such as Spielberg, and some Western politicians, they just saw this point.
In any case, our ultimate goal is to host this Olympics well, and to host this Olympics well, no matter what excessive things they do, we must be generous and not take any radical countermeasures.
Because they are all important participating countries, and if we choose to intensify the contradictions, then in the end, we will still be the ones who are difficult to deal with.
As the host, we must not say anything that we do not welcome certain people to come.
So, in these current matters, from the beginning, we are in a very passive situation.
We can only defend, and it is passive defense.
This matter is actually just a microcosm.
Many other countries will do things smoothly and without any controversy, but when they come to us, they will bring many unexpected troubles. This is actually the obstacle we have to overcome on the road to rise.
For many Western countries, things that make us feel excited may instinctively make them feel uneasy.
However, although we understand what is going on, when facing these things specifically, as individuals, we really can't control our anger.
Now I originally wanted to try to make some changes, but it seems that even if I have more wealth, it is difficult to change the situation. Feng Yiping really wanted to smash all the wine glasses in his hand.
But after looking at it, forget it. The wine glasses are made of crystal, which is quite expensive, and the wine inside is not cheap.
He looked at the stars around him who were still enjoying themselves, drinking their own wine and eating the delicacies he had prepared carefully, but they didn't give him much face. He said to Hastings and Fitch, "Fortunately, it's not that we didn't gain anything."
"Who is it?" Fitch asked, scanning the stars. Is there really someone who supports it?
"Our gains are mainly that we have reached a cooperation intention with these big names," Feng Yiping said, "Hastings, you will be busy next."
Hastings was pleasantly surprised. He gestured, "Are they all the guys you talked to?"
Feng Yiping nodded affirmatively.
Since these people decided to accept the invitation yesterday and come to the banquet held today, they naturally value Feng Yiping very much.
Otherwise, according to the style of most of them, you have to make an appointment at least half a month in advance just to meet.
Think about it, now there are many restaurants that are not famous at all, and they are proud to say that they will not receive people without advance reservations, let alone those who can be called international stars.
Therefore, after they expressed the difficulty of standing up to support the Olympics, it was naturally difficult for them to refuse Feng Yiping's cooperation intention.
Simply reject Feng Yiping's two proposals? Do you really think you are so shameless and Feng Yiping has no face?
"Haha," Hastings laughed, but immediately said, "Sorry, I can't help but be happy,"
Feng Yiping waved his hand, "It's okay,"
"Then Feng, I promise you that every work we make next will be a masterpiece," Hastings looked at the stars over there excitedly.
For a film and television project, actors are always the most important factor in the success or failure of the project, and for people like Tom Hanks and Meryl Streep who have talked to Feng Yiping, the schedule will always be very tight.
It is really beneficial for Netflix to be able to finalize the cooperation with them.
"Feng, you are really amazing!" Feige immediately said, "You actually took this opportunity to negotiate so many cooperations. For this reason, our banquet will definitely be the most successful banquet in Hollywood."
Feng Yiping waved his hand, pretending not to care and said, "There must be something gained!"
But in fact, his purpose was certainly not this. He really did not want to use this matter to lay a more solid foundation for Netflix's future development.
But, alas, he also had to consider his image in the minds of Hastings and Fitch.
If he held such a high-level banquet with such great fanfare and effort, but nothing came of it in the end, then wouldn't there be no room for his old face, oh no, his face is still full of collagen?
"Feng, I want to go talk to them now," Hastings couldn't hold himself back after hearing the good news.
"Go ahead, now is a good time to communicate," Feng Yiping said, "Feige is also coming, Marvel also needs their support,"
"Okay," Fitch also smiled.
Although Marvel generally does not use these high-priced big-name stars because of Palmater's stingy frugality, but who's to say there is no such need?
In particular, Palmater has now become the vice president in charge of Gain Capital's global cost control, and it is impossible to have enough time to pay attention to the big and small things of Marvel as before.
Feige feels that as long as the opportunity is right, it is not impossible to cooperate with these big names.
"Let's talk carefully," Feng Yiping said.
"No problem," the two men walked away hand in hand with a smile. Feng Yiping looked around and called out, "Owen,"
"Boss," Owen immediately emerged from beside a bush of flowers.
"Come with me for a walk," Feng Yiping pointed towards the outside of the restaurant.
But along the way, every place he thought would be secluded and uninhabited - even the exclusive beach, turned out to be an owned place!
The night in Hollywood is indeed colorful.
After walking around in a big circle and startling the two ducks, he had to take Owen to the restaurant office, "Owen, you know what I want to do,"
"Yes boss, I understand," Irving said.
"Then, I hope you won't be surprised by what I'm going to tell you next,"
Owen suddenly felt a lot of pressure, because this was the first time Feng Yiping talked to him so seriously.
"Boss, tell me,"
Feng Yiping walked around the office several times with his hands folded, then stood in front of the window with his hands on his hips, looked at the star-studded banquet scene over there, and finally said, "If I ask you to contact some organized groups in California and even the United States, Well, it’s best not to have Chinese-dominated groups among them,”
"I hope they can crash the party that Richard Gere and those guys are having on the 9th, and directly attack those guys who will impact the torch relay. Are you sure that everyone will not contact us afterwards? "
"Cost is not a problem, one million US dollars, two million US dollars, twenty million US dollars... it is not a problem," - he just couldn't bear to drop a crystal wine glass.
Owen was stunned at this moment.
He subconsciously wanted to ask, boss, are you drunk?
