473. Chapter 473 Ready to start

"How is it? I mean, does it look like it fit?" Garen asked half-yawning as he looked at himself in the floor-to-ceiling mirror.

"You don't know how many times you have worn the suit. You can tell whether it fits at a glance, right?" Neil replied with a smile, "Men's suits are not like women's evening dresses. No matter how they change, they can be felt as long as they are worn."

"But this time it was made in Cannes. Although it is said that French are very sensitive to fashion, this is not Paris after all." Garen muttered, and turned around in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror.

"I said before that I can buy you a cabinet of clothes." Sean's half-joking and half-serious voice came over.

"No need, Sean, there is no need." Garen shook his head, "I don't wear it every day."

"Okay, guys, don't you understand?" Sanders laughed, "Although his girlfriend couldn't come with him, he can be seen through TV broadcasts or news pictures."

"Oh?!" Sean and Neil immediately dragged their voices, while Garen rolled his eyes and stopped talking.

Seeing this, Sean also changed the subject: "Speaking of this, what do you think of me? How about buying a plane?"

"What kind do you want to buy?" Sanders asked immediately, "Do you have Airbus 380?"

As mentioned before, when the cost of leasing and purchasing is similar, the main reason for the selection of aircraft models is definitely. Sanders also knows Sean very well, so he asked directly.

"It sounds good, but didn't this model finish its first flight last year? It's going to be put into use, it's not OK this year, right?" Sean thought about it, then shook his head.

"That's the Boeing 747," Garen naturally needs to support the issue of changing the topic. "Although it is said that the Airbus 380 will surpass the 747 to become the world's largest passenger plane, the 747 will always be the largest before it is officially put into use, isn't it?"

"You want Sean to buy a big plane so much?" Neil inserted it in, "It would be better to buy the spruce goose and make a transformation. Sean has also played Hughes anyway." "You don't really think that the thing that has entered the museum can fly after the transformation, right?" Sean asked jokingly, "Or do you have any suggestions, Neil?"

"The Boeing 737 is also good, with nearly 100 seats, and more than 100 or even 200 seats," Neil said seriously. "I really don't think you are going to pursue a big model of aircraft. Gulfstream private jets are actually very good."

Sean blinked, took the exam for a few seconds, and then grinned: "Okay, I'll think about it."

Neil's implicit voice knew that although the momentum was good in all aspects, Google's stock price was soaring, and Sean also proposed conditions when he withdrew from the board of directors, and his shares should be diluted slowly.

The development momentum of the production company is also good. Although the power is further divided by the board of directors, Sean's words are still a bit heavy, and he has participated in many high-profit productions. As long as he continues, he can basically delegate power and maintain influence after the Down Pictures's "Twilight" is released and has a great harvest.

Then, Facebook and YouTube are still fermenting. Because of Sean's participation, the former's active users will soon exceed 10 million, so they are confident that they will reject Yahoo's nearly $1 billion investment, and the social kingdom is about to take shape.

The latter has now embarked on a completely different development path. With Sean's support, Neil is completely letting go, and the users are growing at a geometric speed, faster than Facebook. After all, the degree of getting started is simpler. The videos uploaded by netizens themselves are increasing every day, and a new way of communication has been officially presented to traditional media.

Then, when WB and UPN announced the merger in early May, Neal also began to tentatively contact major TV stations. However, he did not show too urgent, but just communicated for a little while and stopped asking.

"Are you really calm? You know that there are countless investors or funds who want to invest." Sean had asked him in a half-joking tone before.

So far, all YouTube's funds still come from Sean. In other words, he is eating alone, and in the United States, where capital operations are already very well-established, this behavior will be strongly resisted.

So, Neil initially suggested diversion of his funds and injecting funds through a series of ways in the name of various bag companies or funds, making YouTube seem to have received a lot of investments until it contacted the four major TV stations - soon the five majors - and the media groups behind them.

However, this move can be concealed for a while, but not for a lifetime. If it is discovered before reaching an agreement with several major media groups, it will definitely fall into a passive position.

But Neil is very confident in himself. His previous investment company was doing very well and he also knows the various methods of Wall Street.

"Look at it, although reality has not developed completely according to our blueprint, I will do it, I promise." Neil said so, and his confidence looked very confident.

Since that is the case, Sean won’t say much. Naturally, such things must be left to professionals. Since they have been handed over to professionals, they must be trusted.

Okay, back to the beginning of the topic, although his investments are in great shape, there is not much money available to all - not much of this is for buying planes.

If you just buy an ordinary Gulfstream model, it is not much different from the cost of renting an aircraft. It is nothing more than turning rent into purchase and maintenance costs. But if you want to buy other aircraft as aircraft, such as the Airbus 380, or the new Boeing 747, which has not yet been officially put into operation, it will cost a lot, and the purchase cost alone will cost 100 million or 200 million.

Even if it is paid in installments, Sean still needs to weigh the price. If it is a few years later, this matter is nothing, but now it is a burden.

Although the production companies and movies have a lot of income, they also have a lot of expenses after paying taxes, and not to mention that women and children have to be raised. Although Facebook and YouTube have good momentum, they are essentially burning money, and Google does not pay dividends. Although it is not that he cannot afford this money, there is no need.

This is what Neil wanted to say but didn't say it. Sean thought his opinion made sense, so he adopted it. However, in this way, the yacht might be more luxurious.

Just then, the knock on the door rang, and Frederick immediately walked into the room: "Are you ready? Guys, there are many media to come to the premiere tonight, and our big stars are about to shine again."

He laughed and hugged Sean, then shook his eyes at him again: "Especially when standing with Cate Blanchett."

"It seems you have prepared the topic for me, right?" Sean asked calmly, his eyes hiding sternness.

"Of course not," Frederick immediately laughed, "I'm just giving an example, that's all."

Just then Garen's voice came in: "Speaking of it, have you thanked Ms. Blanchett in person, Sean?"

"This... I have already said it privately when I was in the crew of "Tower of Heaven"," Sean was stunned for a few seconds, glanced at the agent who was secretly relieved, and then spread his hands, "As for many people, but not yet, you know that my reputation is not very good."

"Yes, you have to tell me wherever you go, and you even come to Cannes. To be honest, are you already interested in her?" Neil joked, and then several people pricked their ears, especially Frederick.

"How could it be," Sean sighed, "I don't have anything to do with my assistant, it's easy to confuse feelings and work, and then influence each other, and eventually lead to many problems."

"Is that true?" several people asked in a long voice, including their agents.

Sean immediately rolled his eyes and came again. It was obvious that he was telling the truth, but they didn't believe it. It was really annoying.

The knock on the door sounded again at this time. This time it was Emma who came in, wearing a black thin-shouldered robe and narrow-tube skirt, which was still very beautiful.

"Hey guys, are you ready, it's time to go out right away," she said, and nodded to Frederick, saying hello.

But she was soon startled because Galen and the others looked at her with meaningful eyes, as if they wanted to see something good, which made her a little nervous and inexplicable.

"Okay, we get it," Sean had to answer, and waved to them, "Why don't you go down first and go to the hall to see if the car is coming."

"I've been waiting outside, I just confirmed it again." Emma continued completely subconsciously.

Suddenly, Garen and the others' expressions became even more strange. They looked at her with a smile. Only Frederick looked serious and serious, as if none of them in front of them existed.

"Very good, let's go down together." After a few seconds, Sean said after a dry cough.

"That's right, let's go down together, I'll go ahead." Neil shouted first, then smiled and picked up his coat and walked towards him.

"Let's go." Garen shrugged and followed him.

Sanders didn't say anything, patted Sean on the shoulder and became the third one. Frederick had something to say, but he looked at Sean and Emma, ​​spread his hands and followed him.

"What's going on with them?" Emma couldn't help asking.

"Nothing, a malicious guess that I've been used to." Sean grabbed his head and waved his hand, "Let's follow it too. You just said that the time is almost over, right?"

He paused, and he looked at her, raised his hand and wanted to do something, but finally let it go: "Frankly, you're pretty tonight, Emma."

"Thank you." Emma rolled her eyes, obviously not very grateful.
