Super body leads the era

Chapter 17, DreamWorks Established

In a spacious office, a slightly bald middle-aged man was sitting at the conference table, smoking a cigar nervously, looking at the silent employees at the table.

Grant has been having a hard time recently. To rename the mess he took over from the previous boss, Grant Films has not been established for long, and I am afraid it will not last long.Thanks to a certain screenwriter who paid thousands of dollars, and his own third-rate director ability, the film he shot with a lot of money was almost a rip-off.

It’s not bad if you don’t lose money, the salaries of the twelve employees can only be paid after three months, and it will be very difficult to make movies again during this period, and there is still 70 in bank loans that have not been repaid.

But today was a special day, which is why he was stationed in the company early Saturday morning and called everyone to prepare for a meeting.

As expected, just after nine o'clock, the doorbell rang. Old Tom, the doorman who had owed a month's salary, should have invited someone in.

Thinking that his benefactor had arrived, Grant realized belatedly that he should be greeted at the door.He put down his cigar and hurried to the door.

The man who greeted the door was a man of Mexican origin, about thirty to forty years old. The weather in Los Angeles in mid-March was warm and suitable. He was wearing a dark blue short-sleeved shirt, showing his strong arms.

Behind him was a lively little Asian girl, who looked very pure, bright, and beautiful. Wearing jeans and a light blue shirt, she looked clean and energetic.

Grant shook hands with the man when he came up, and said happily: "You are Mr. Serres-Alba, welcome!"

It was Sun Xiaowei and Mr. Alba who came. The former smiled and remained silent for the time being, while the latter said with a smile: "Hi, Mr. Grant, nice to meet you. Besides, this is my little girl, Vivi-Alba. "

Grant was a little surprised. For some reason, his Jin wanted to bring his daughter, but he didn't ask any further questions, and immediately led the two into the conference room.

The twelve employees in the house immediately stood up respectfully and greeted Mr. Alba one after another. After shaking the hands of only two people, Mr. Alba said, "Let me explain, it is my daughter Weiwei who is going to buy this company."

Hearing everyone's surprise and suspicion, Sun Xiaowei smiled and said, "It's my father who called your company. Let's sit down and talk, Mr. Grant?"

Grant hadn't recovered from his astonishment, and he was pushed by a tall and thin employee at the side before reacting, and let Sun Xiaowei sit opposite him.

"I know you are surprised, but please believe in my strength, this is my business card, please take a look first."

As soon as she was seated, Sun Xiaowei straight to the point and handed the name tag to Grant. The latter looked at the piece of paper and his eyes widened.

The surrounding employees looked at Grant curiously, waiting for his explanation.

After taking a few deep breaths, Grant read slowly: "Vivi Alba, shareholder and honorary executive director of Cisco Systems, shareholder and honorary technical advisor of Microsoft!?"

Thanks to being polite, no one at the table was drinking tea, otherwise, at this time, the whole room would definitely be filled with the sound of water spraying.The tall and thin man next to Grant was gnawing on his finger, when he was startled, he tore off a good piece of skin and grinned in pain.

Seeing that the whole table was silent and everyone was waiting for her explanation, Sun Xiaowei smiled and said: "This is the first time I have used a temporary business card. Shareholders are to show you financial strength, and the reason why the title is honor , because I am still young and can’t really take on a specific position. There are phone numbers on the above, if you have any doubts, just call them.”

The audience was still silent, and Sun Xiaowei was not in a hurry, so she went to the corner of the conference room to make a cup of tea for her and her father.

After she was seated, Mr. Grant said in a light voice: "You said you are...a shareholder of Microsoft?"

Sun Xiaowei nodded and said: "It was done this Thursday. I compiled a new Windows for Microsoft, and they gave me technology shares. The specific situation, you can watch the news when Microsoft launches. In other words, you don't have to worry about funds above question."

The words used to explain it were obviously more shocking. Grant looked left and right and said, "Aren't you liars?"

Mr. Alba said: "I think my daughter made it very clear. If you insist, just dial the number. You can also find the contact information of these two companies in the Yellow Pages. Besides, if it is really a lie, we will choose this means?"

"So... your daughter... Miss Alba wants to enter the film industry?"

Sun Xiaowei nodded and said: "If a film company wants to grow, a good script, a good director, a good actor, and sufficient funds are the most important things. I can prepare all these four points for the new company. Mr. Grant's CEO position can be a Very secure."

Grant pondered for a while and said: "Miss Alba, what you mean is that you buy this company and take the position of chairman, and the specific operations of the company will be handed over to me, and then you will provide us with some scripts and sufficient funds to support us. Hire well-known directors and actors?"

Sun Xiaowei nodded, shook her head again, and said, "I'm underage. My father holds the administrative position of chairman, and I'm a shareholder. The script for the first movie has already been written, and the director is also selected. Although our company today It will only be established, but I believe that he will definitely be convinced by me, and everything after that will be logical."

Afterwards, Sun Xiaowei took out a check and handed it to Grant, saying: "This is a transfer check for 100 million US dollars, which can solve the company's current debt problem. You...why do you check the authenticity first? Haha .”

Seeing Grant solemnly accepting the check, Sun Xiaowei smiled smugly in her heart.

The efficiency is still very fast.

After talking with Bill Gates last Friday, he became a shareholder this Thursday; last weekend, he handed over the bond issue to Mr. Abagnale, and this Wednesday he got a deposit of 1000 million U.S. dollars; Entering the film industry, I found a bankrupt company available for acquisition this Friday, so I visited on Saturday.

In Hollywood, many small studios are founded every day, and many such companies fail every day.For Sun Xiaowei, who has no shortage of excellent scripts and financial support, it is much less difficult to set foot in this industry than others.

As a rebirth party, stepping into Hollywood is indeed a career that Sun Xiaowei is very interested in, but the most direct purpose of getting involved at the moment is actually to launder|money.

She didn't tell her family about the bond issue. After all, it involved the law, and Mr. Alba was not a cunning businessman, but a soldier who always represented integrity and justice.If I really told the truth, even if it was me, it would be inevitable that my butt would bloom.

Moreover, the source of the huge amount of assets still needs a reasonable explanation to the outside world, at least to the neighbors. After all, [-] million won in the lottery is too exaggerated.Therefore, it is extremely convenient and necessary to bleach that huge sum of money under the cover of a small-budget high-grossing movie.

As for the early filming funds, after all, Sun Xiaowei is already a shareholder of two companies, one of which is Microsoft, and it is not a problem to spend two or three million.

Of course, after discussing things like luxury cars and mansions, the whole family—Jessica made soy sauce—unanimously decided to focus on career first and enjoyment later.

Everything after that went very smoothly. Grant, who was cautious, called Cisco and Microsoft respectively, and they all got affirmative answers.In this way, Sun Xiaowei easily became the shareholder and honorary executive director of this film company, and Mr. Alba was the nominal chairman.

This surprised Grant very much, but after a little understanding, he suddenly realized.The genius is the daughter. As the father, Mr. Alba is just a purely retired air force, rehired as an instructor. If you really want him to be the boss of the company, you have to fire yourself.

"Then here is this picture for you to see, the logo of the new company."

Sun Xiaowei took out a piece of paper from the file bag with a smile, and Grant took it over, but he was amazed at the first glance.

"The drawing is really excellent! Ms. Alba's own handwriting? The name of the company is..."

Sun Xiaowei smiled and said, "DreamWorks."

Above the blue sky and white clouds, a villain is sitting on a crescent moon fishing. As a film company established by Spielberg in 94 and one of the top ten Hollywood film companies, it is of course Sun Xiaowei's top priority "borrowing" target.

"So, our dear Weiwei has become the big boss of the film company again!"

On the way home, Mr. Alba cheerfully said to Sun Xiaowei, the co-driver.The sun is shining outside the window, the spring is warm and flowers are blooming, and the towering palm trees beside the coastal road in Los Angeles are blowing warm winds.

"Oh, dear dad, please stop teasing me, Mr. Craven hasn't responded to the script yet, and the old guy is really slow to respond."

Sun Xiaowei looked out the window and hummed softly.

Wes Craven, a veteran horror film director, is the "Godfather of Horror" in the minds of many horror film lovers.Except for "A Nightmare on Elm Street" which was supposed to be filmed in 84 but has not yet been filmed due to the subtle difference in the date of birth, the Scream series, the script of the old version of "The Mountain Has Eyes", and the red-eye flight are all quite Great movie.

"Speaking of Weiwei, your script really makes me shudder."

Seeing his daughter turn to this topic, Mr. Alba also commented: "I'm sure you haven't experienced this kind of thing. At most, you just read psychology books from UCLA and Stanford. How did you make up this story?"

Sun Xiaowei leaned comfortably on the back of the chair, put her hands on her stomach, and said with a smile: "It's actually your fault."

"Blame me?"

"Uh... Let's talk about this later. In short, dad, you can rest assured. You have read the content of the script. Based on this plot setting, it is sure to be a hit. Moreover, the shooting cost is low and the time required is short. It can be written down in the history of filmmaking, and it is the easiest way to make quick money.”

Mr. Alba raised his eyebrows and said: "You have always been very confident, and your choices so far are indeed wise. I have to admit this, and I can't question it..."

"Dad, don't say that, I'm shy~"

"Well, since you said it was so easy to make this movie...but, you are just an investor, why don't you withdraw some money from Microsoft in advance and make a few more movies in one go?"

Sun Xiaowei looked at Mr. Alba in astonishment, and said, "Okay, Dad, you have a business mind!"

Mr. Alba chuckled.

"With your ears and eyes, Jessica knows that I will be charged for milk!"
