Chapter 532 An Appointment

Influenced by their father, the Koch brothers believe in libertarianism.

Libertarianism is a political philosophy that advocates that individuals should enjoy absolute freedom to engage in any activities with their own bodies and property as long as they do not infringe on the equal freedom of others.

To put it bluntly, they oppose too much interference from the government, hate any censorship, and advocate liberalism.

Charles Koch's father has four sons. It is said that when the four brothers were young, their father always encouraged them to compete with each other. He often only bought one toy and let the four brothers compete in competitions or answer questions. Only the winner could get the toy.

Even if the four brothers fought each other in front of them, their father never stopped them...

Obviously, the result of such education is that the inheritance of the family property by the four brothers will be quite fierce-this is why the Koch brothers are now David Koch and Charles Koch, who are in charge of Koch Industries.

At that time, the family inheritance rights were David Koch and Charles Koch, who ranked second and third, joined forces to fight against their eldest brother and younger brother. In the end, the two won.

The Koch brothers' political funding is also to promote the libertarianism they believe in.

For example, the two brothers are very opposed to Guanhai and invested in fighting against the Guanhai government...

In addition, although in many ways, the two brothers are supporters of TP, it is also because of the trade stick policy led by them that they broke up with TP and eventually fiercely criticized each other.

In this regard, Barron naturally supports the Koch brothers' proposition very much - after all, as a British, if he wants to expand investment in the United States, he certainly hopes that the United States will embrace liberalism and not interfere too much...

After chatting like this, Charles Koch almost regarded Barron as a confidant...

"I think you just had a good chat with Charles?"

After Barron and Charles Koch separated, Robert Kennedy Jr. walked up to Barron and said.

"Just chatting casually, you know, I like making friends."

"Let's go have some fun together later?"

Hearing Robert Kennedy Jr.'s words, Barron shrugged and said:

"I already have an appointment."

The two exchanged a look that all men understand, and everything is self-explanatory.

Don't look at Robert Kennedy Jr., who is already in his sixties, but his private life is still rich...

But he was even crazier when he was young, drinking, taking drugs... and having a chaotic private life.

So far, Robert Kennedy Jr. has had two marriages, but he inherited the Kennedy family's ancestral sex addiction. Later, according to his own confession, throughout the 1990s, he cheated more than 50 times a year on average...

...

"Hello, Your Highness..."

When Barron came to the room of the villa, he saw a girl in a red dress waiting inside.

This is the villa that Barron first bought on Malibu Beach. It was originally lived in by Rebecca, but after she moved to the manor in Beverly Hills, it has been idle.

The girl's voice was a bit timid, and her eyes revealed nervousness...

Barron looked at the girl leisurely, and finally stopped at her very familiar face:

"Your pupils were originally green?"

"Yes, Your Highness, they were brown in the movie... Because the heroine in the novel had brown pupils, I wore contact lenses to change the color of my pupils."

Yes, the girl in the red dress in front of Barron was Christine Stuart, the actress who played the heroine in the first movie of "Twilight" which was just released not long ago.

Interestingly, she, like Barron's wife Bonnie, also has the last name Stuart, and both of them have emerald green pupils...

The first movie of "Twilight", "Twilight", was filmed in just 2 months and was released in early April. The box office in the first weekend was as high as 70 million US dollars, becoming the North American box office champion of the week.

The investment in this movie is only 40 million US dollars, so from now on, there is no problem in making the movie payback, and not only that, it can also make Marvel-MGM Group a considerable income.

After all, the box office revenue of Hollywood movies often accounts for only about a quarter of the total revenue of the film.

This is different from Chinese movies that mainly rely on box office revenue. In terms of profit-making methods, Hollywood movies are more diverse.

For example, in theaters, slightly competitive films often have a North American box office share of about 50% and an overseas box office share of about 40%.

In addition, it also includes TV station broadcast authorization, disc sharing, airlines and some high-end venues broadcast, peripheral products and other forms of income.

Barron remembers that the original time and space "Twilight" movie made a lot of money, and it won't be much different now-this is also the first hit movie launched by Marvel-MGM Group after its establishment ("007: Casino Royale" is not a Marvel-MGM Group production).

Although it is obvious that through this movie, Kristen Stuart will undoubtedly become famous, but let alone she is just an actress who is about to become famous, even those movie queens need to be careful in front of Barron, a powerful boss.

Therefore, it is not difficult to understand her nervousness and trembling when facing Barron.

Kristen is just 18 years old. In fact, she is also a "child star". She has played Jodie Foster's daughter in "Panic Room" since she was 12 years old...

In many cases like this in the United States, if a child has a talent for acting, they will focus on training him to become a star to make money for himself-a typical example is Macaulay Culkin, who became famous for starring in "Home Alone" when he was only 10 years old; another is Lindsay Lohan, who became famous at the age of 12.

Kristen is lucky, at least her parents are not too eager for quick success.

But up to now, Christine has been "debuting" for more than five years. She has been exposed to the fame and fortune of Hollywood. Even though she is well protected by her parents, she also understands that it is the dream of many people to have the opportunity to meet a big man like Barron.

Before this, she had mostly starred in low-cost art films. Although "Twilight" is not a big production, it is already Christine's best opportunity for a commercial film.

"Do you know what to do today?"

Barron has no patience to "talk about love" with this girl...

Under his aggressive gaze, although she was mentally prepared before coming here, Christine still felt a little nervous.

"I... Your Highness..."

Christine stretched her arms behind her, there was a zipper sound, and then the red skirt slid onto the carpet.

Although Christine is not a top beauty, she is pretty in a unique way, and... she is young, has a good figure, and glowing white skin...

"Should I take a shower first..."

Her slightly trembling eyelashes represent Christine's nervousness at the moment.

Barron smiled, relaxing the atmosphere in the room:

"Let's take a shower together, I think this will save some money..."
