Chapter 1682 I Am His Master
1682
Xu Taiping arrived in Luo City at around four o'clock in the local afternoon.
It was still a few hours before dinner time.
I heard from Reinhardt that he had prepared a very private welcome dinner for Xu Taiping. There would not be too many people at the dinner, just Reinhardt and a few local business elites.
This arrangement made Xu Taiping quite satisfied. There were not many people, but the people who came were all important. This was considered high-profile, but not too high-profile, and it could also invisibly highlight his strong character.
It's perfect.
For this reason, Xu Taiping forgave Reinhardt for his body odor.
"Mr. Xu, please rest in our hotel first. When the dinner is about to start, I will come up and invite you in person!" Reinhardt stood at the door of Xu Taiping's room and said with a warm smile.
"Thank you!" Xu Taiping nodded to Reinhardt, and then watched Reinhardt leave.
After Reinhard left, Xu Taiping turned around and walked back to the room.
The huge presidential suite was empty.
The other members of Xu Taiping's team were slower than Xu Taiping because they were in other cars, so Xu Taiping had already arrived and they hadn't arrived yet.
Xu Taiping walked to the living room, sat down, and called Guo Yunpeng.
Not long after, Guo Yunpeng, Zhao Xiaohua, the director of Power Supply, and the male and female actors all came to Xu Taiping's room.
"Yunpeng, what are the next arrangements?" Xu Taiping asked.
"Tomorrow we will go to Annington University in Los Angeles to promote the movie at the school. There are many Chinese in this university, so it is easier for us to communicate." Guo Yunpeng said.
"Annington University? Is it the university that rich people in China like to send their children to?" Xu Taiping asked.
"Yes, the teaching level of this university is very high, but the teaching style is not very strict, so it is very suitable for the rich second and third generations in China." Guo Yunpeng said.
"Should I go?" Xu Taiping asked.
"You can go or not. Anyway, we will have many promotions like this in the future." Guo Yunpeng said.
"Then let's take a look." Xu Taiping nodded.
"Taiping, my brother-in-law, don't you really want to meet him? He wanted to see you several times during the ten-hour flight, but you blocked him." Guo Yunpeng asked in a low voice.
"No, there's nothing good to see. I'll see you when it's time." Xu Taiping smiled and waved his hand. Xu Taiping had probably guessed Jiang Yingxiong's intention of coming with the team. It was simply Jiang Hongtu's intention to repair them. However, Xu Taiping will not give Jiang Hongtu this opportunity easily. It does not mean that Xu Taiping and Jiang Hongtu have completely broken up. However, Xu Taiping feels that with his current status, he should be more careful no matter what. .
He has never had the experience of being a rich man in his life, but he knows very well that being a rich man, since he has an initial, his posture and style must be high enough, so that he looks like a rich man, right?
"Okay!" Guo Yunpeng sighed helplessly. When he came, Jiang Hongtu specially asked him to help Jiang Yingxiong and Xu Taiping to establish a relationship. Unexpectedly, Xu Taiping would take such a high profile. .
However, Guo Yunpeng also understood what Xu Taiping did. After all, Xu Taiping was now the richest man in China, and he also heard that Xu Taiping's life in the world was not easy now because of his father-in-law Jiang Hongtu.
"In addition to university promotion, we will also organize parties. What Americans like most is to have parties. Many things are discussed at parties. This is the same as in China, many things are discussed over the wine table. , if the party is good, everything is easy to handle. This time our movie is going to compete for the Oscar. This first key, nomination is very important. We must get the recommendation of some people to get the Oscar nomination, and These people are all on the invitation list for the following parties." Guo Yunpeng continued to tell Xu Taiping.
"Parties, I like them." Xu Taiping smiled and nodded.
"In addition, I have contacted the bosses of several film groups here in Haolaiwu to see if they can help promote our movies. I have also contacted the president of the labor union here in Haolaiwu. Find time to have dinner together." Guo Yunpeng said again.
"How many days will our trip last?" Xu Taiping asked.
"About a week or so." Guo Yunpeng said.
"About a week? That's about it!" Xu Taiping nodded. According to what Shazhao and the others said before, Lin Shanping would hand over the chip drawings to the American military within a week. Two days had passed, that is, He said that there were only five days left and he would stay here for a week, which would be enough for the two intelligence officers hidden in his team to change the drawings.
When he thought of this, Xu Taiping originally planned to call the two people over to ask them about their plans, but when he thought that there were many people staring at him, Xu Taiping gave up this plan to avoid letting these two people go. Increased risk of exposure.
In the following time, Guo Yunpeng briefly talked about some other itinerary arrangements. This time's itinerary was very full. In order to create enough momentum for this movie, Guo Yunpeng was said to have gone to Beijing when he was in Beijing. Already done enough homework.
It's evening in a blink of an eye.
Xu Taiping was just about to go to dinner when suddenly his cell phone rang.
Xu Taiping took out his cell phone and looked at it, and found that it was Jennifer calling.
It seemed that this woman knew that he had come to the United States.
Xu Taiping answered the phone.
"Are you in Los Angeles?" Jennifer on the other end of the phone asked straightforwardly.
"Yeah, what's wrong?" Xu Taiping asked.
"I will fly to Los Angeles tomorrow afternoon. Didn't you know that I was a student at Annington University in Los Angeles? There will be an alumni meeting at our school tomorrow, and I want to attend." Jennifer said.
"Annington University? Aren't they all schools owned by China's rich second generation?" Xu Taiping asked.
"Do you also know? However, the proportion of you Chinese people there is still very small, although this proportion is much heavier than that of other universities. By the way, I called you just to ask you, what will you do tomorrow? Do you want to go to Annington University with me? I haven’t seen you for a long time, and I heard that your film team will also have promotional arrangements at Annington University tomorrow." Jennifer said.
"I'll go tomorrow, let's talk about it then. By the way, do you have Lawrence's phone number?" Xu Taiping asked.
"Lawrence? Your apprentice, right?" Jennifer on the other end of the phone seemed to want to laugh.
"Yes, as a master, I haven't seen him for a long time. I'm thinking of giving him a call and asking him to make arrangements for me no matter what!" Xu Taiping said with a smile.
"I have his phone number. He lives in Los Angeles. You can really contact him. I will send you his phone number soon!" Jennifer said.
"Trouble!"
Not long after hanging up the phone, Xu Taiping received a message from Jennifer. Naturally, the message contained a call about Lawrence.
After Xu Taiping thought for a moment, he called Lawrence.
The phone rang for a moment before the call was diverted and then a woman's voice came.
"Hello, I am Mr. Lawrence's agent. What can I do for you?"
Yo ho? broker? Xu Taiping raised his eyebrows, then said with a smile, "I am Xu Taiping, I am Lawrence's master."
"Lawrence's master?" The manager obviously didn't know that Lawrence had a master. He guessed that he was Lawrence's new manager, because Xu Taiping had met Lawrence's manager when he was recording a show with Lawrence, and he remembered that he was a manager. male.
"Yes, just tell him." Xu Taiping said.
"Are you kidding?" the woman on the other end of the phone said disdainfully, "Mr. Lawrence, how could there be some inexplicable master? Mr. Lawrence is a veteran actor in Haolaiwu, and he has always been the only one who can be someone else's master. , when can others be his master? And listening to your voice, you must be a young man, right? Young man, I don’t care where you got Mr. Lawrence’s phone number, but I warn you, don’t make this call. Don’t joke either, otherwise I will call the police to arrest you.”
"Uh, okay." Xu Taiping said and hung up the phone with some embarrassment.
He didn't expect that his apprentice would be so unkind to him and didn't even tell his agent about his apprenticeship.
Thinking of this, Xu Taiping felt a little sad. Although the main purpose of accepting this apprentice was to disgust him, he was still his apprentice. At present, they didn't seem to take him as a master at all. Xu Taiping felt that, Then it would be better for me not to have anything to do with Lawrence. After all, where is my status now, and my posture and style should be high, right?
On the other side, somewhere in Los Angeles.
A pretty good-looking white woman put away her cell phone, then opened the door of a room and walked in.
In the room, Lawrence was sitting in front of the dressing mirror. Behind him stood a stylist, doing his hair.
"Who is looking for me? Mary." Lawrence asked looking at himself in the mirror.
"It's a prank." The white woman who walked in from the door said with a smile, "I don't know who got your phone number from where, but don't worry, I have already warned the other party."
"People who pull pranks like this should all be arrested and sent to prison with those old gangsters!" Lawrence said with some annoyance.
"If this person calls again next time, I will definitely call the police!" the white woman said.
"By the way, Mary, call Jennifer and ask for my master's phone number." Lawrence said.
"Your master?" The white woman was stunned for a moment.
"Yes, I have a master who comes from China. He is a young man. I thought he was very talented, so I became my master, and it was a very formal one. You must not have guessed who this young man is. He His name is Xu Taiping. You may have never heard of this name, but you must know his other identity. He... is now the richest man in China!" Lawrence said proudly.
The white woman on the side widened her eyes and froze on the spot.
