Chapter 1099 Cypress Point Stadium
"Oh, I know, don't say, this movie is really popular. It's good luck to be able to make s~m so profitable, but their luck ends here."
Robert Eiger's attitude became more and more gentle, but behind this gentleness, there was a trace of blood hidden, and even Michael Forroman, who was sitting directly opposite, did not notice it.
"Michael, there is no luck in Hollywood, you know better than me."
To a certain extent, luck is also a kind of strength, so Forromann would not be petty about this sentence.
"Anyway, I'm leaving this matter to me. Believe me. In a few days, you will be called by that Chinese boy." Forroman said confidently.
In response, Robert Eiger shrugged, "I'll wait and see."
...
On the other side, Yang Cheng, who was far away on the East Coast, was talking with Donna Langd. As soon as he finished the call with Robert Eiger, Donna Langd told Yang Cheng.
"What else did he say?" Yang Cheng asked with his cell phone in his mouth, squinted his eyes.
"Nothing said, boss, will the matter of "Raging Sea Rescue" continue?" Donna Round asked.
Yang Cheng smiled, "Why not? What are you worried about?"
"We also have movies to be released." Donna Round did not say it explicitly, but reminded him from the side.
"Your worries make sense, but the splashed water cannot be collected. Since we have done some things, there is no reason to give up halfway. Disney has already offended it. Is it a big difference to offend a little more or less?
Besides, the other party took the whole thing first. If we pretended not to know, anyone could step on us in the future, so we simply didn’t have to do anything.”
Yang Cheng's words made Donna Lund think in thought. After a while, he sighed, "Boss, you are right. Maybe you are old and don't have the momentum of the past. What you think of when you encounter something is a conservative approach."
"Don't say that, I'm still waiting to sign a contract with you." Yang Cheng comforted.
"Yes, I'm looking forward to it, so next I'll send someone to post the director's black material online."
"Yes, let go and do it, I have to bear everything."
Sometimes, even if you know you lose, you have to bite the bullet, so that even if you lose, you can get respect from your opponent, and at the same time, it also raises your capital for dialogue.
No one cares if he doesn't say a word, and he won't sit down and talk to you calmly.
So, all of this is a routine. Yang Cheng was very clear about the gap with Disney from the beginning, and he was not ready to fight Disney to the end. The courage of a reckless man is a taboo. Yang Cheng is obviously not a reckless man. Then again, he is still not strong enough. Otherwise, he will be useless and fight first.
As soon as the phone rang, Ryz Khan knocked directly at the door and came in, "Boss, I attended Donald's charity cocktail party last night, and during this period, I donated $1 million in your personal name."
Yang Cheng nodded, "I understand, it's not the highest one, right?"
Reitz shook his head, "No, there are still several who donated 2 million."
“That’s good~”
Then he looked at Ryze in surprise, "You should come up because this is not worth it."
"There is indeed another thing, about the Hilton Group." Reitz said hesitantly.
Yang Cheng put down the signature pen and leaned on the boss’s chair, "Tell me, look~"
"According to your instructions from boss, I contacted Blackstone Group and negotiated the acquisition of shares of Hilton Group, but the other party was extremely determined, and it seemed that they were not going to sell it." Ryze said with a bitter face.
Yang Cheng's brows frowned, "What's going on?"
Reitz shook his head suddenly, "I'm also confused. I'm obviously very determined to look for my next home before."
He paused and said, "I've found someone to find out. Blackstone Group has not made any major moves recently."
"Don't think about it, remember to ask me for a meeting with Stephen Schwartzman, a Blackstone Group, and I'll talk to him in person."
"Well, Mr. Schwartzman is on vacation in the Caribbean now, and I wanted to meet him before." Rezkhan said helplessly.
Yang Cheng was also speechless, it was a coincidence, "Then Hamilton James, as the president, he wouldn't have gone on vacation too."
"That's not, I'll make arrangements now."
Yang Cheng nodded, "Don't be in the company, make an appointment for a private time, you can accompany you then."
“Okay boss.”
...
Just the next afternoon, Yang Cheng and Ryze Khan flew to the west coast, and the Jason temporarily rented the apron at a private airport near Pebble Beach.
Yesterday, when Ryze was communicating with Hamilton James, he heard that he was going to play golf at the Cypress Point Club today. After communicating with Yang Cheng, the two immediately decided to fly to the club to interview him.
Cypress Point Club is located in the beautiful Big Sur in California, just south of Pebble Beach. The standard 18-hole course is built on this undulating area, adjacent to the magnificent Pacific coastline, with invincible views. It is one of the top golf courses in the United States and even the world. It is more high-end and private than its neighbor Pebble Beach Club. It is the favorite resort of the richest people in the United States.
The cypress dot stadium is known as the pinnacle of many stadiums designed by master Mark Kennez. It has sandy fields and large and small hills full of trees distributed in linear shape.
The most distinctive hole on this course is naturally the 15th-17th hole that even many professional players have suffered. These holes distributed along the Pacific coast are definitely a big challenge for all golfers.
Among them, the 223-yard 16th hole has no fairway, and it has to pass through the turbulent Pacific Ocean from the tee to the green. It is the most thrilling short hole in golf. Every kick-off is a challenge to courage.
Yang Cheng is not a member of the Cypress Point Club, and in fact, Hamilton James is not. He was also invited by a friend today to participate in a private game. The initiator of the game is Peter Flor, the chairman of Texas Energy Group and the chairman of Ceo Peter Flor. Yang Cheng and Ryze also received the invitation letter with the help of Hamilton James, otherwise they would not be qualified to step onto the stadium.
The reason why Cypress Point is famous is because of its strict membership entry threshold. From the completion of the stadium to the present, the total number of members of the club has never exceeded 250.
In media terms, usually only when the Death comes, the club will have vacancies, and the rate at which the club accepts new members is about 7 to 9 people per year.
It is said that some people have been waiting for a membership card for 7 years, and even if they become candidates, they have to wait for a long and painful time to become a formal member. In essence, this process is the club trying to find out whether you have any defects that do not meet the requirements.
But people are cheap, and rich people are even more humble. The more difficult things are to obtain, the more noble they are in their eyes. Even if they spend hundreds of millions of dollars, they still have things that can be purchased and exchanged in their eyes. They are far less noble than the invisible and intangible qualifications for membership.
Hamilton James waited outside the club department to welcome Yang Cheng and Ryze.
"Good afternoon jason, I haven't seen you for a long time." James stepped forward with a smile and hugged and greeted him.
Yang Cheng gave a cordial response, "Yes, we all live in New York, but we meet in Los Angeles, which is really helpless."
"It seems we will contact you more in the future. I heard that you were also a master of playing young players under the age of 30. Today we should practice our skills well." James was very confident in his skills and challenged him as soon as he met.
Yang Cheng is accustomed to this. If the American rich people do not have the skills of playing, they will be embarrassed to be in the upper class. Yang Cheng will not show weakness. "No problem. Although I haven't played for several years, I have never been afraid of anyone among the amateur players."
He paused and slapped his forehead, "Look at me, I forgot to introduce it. This is the ceo Riz Khan in four-dimensional space."
James reached out and shook Ryze, "No need to introduce it, Ryzeby and I are familiar with you."
Yang Cheng looked at Ryze in surprise, "Is that so? Why haven't you heard of it?"
Ryze shrugged, "You haven't asked boss."
Yang Cheng laughed, and James gave Ryze a thumbs up, signaling him to be beautiful, and then patted the two on the shoulders, "Let's go in, the game officially starts at 1 o'clock, let's meet a few new friends first."
Cypress Point Club is hidden in the jungle, and I quickly came from the gate to the reception manor, the red-roofed villa is very Hawaiian.
After entering the manor, I was taken by the caddy to change my clothes, then met with James, walked through the manor, and came to a terrace. From here, I could see the 5,966-meter fairway. At the end of the fairway, there was the endless Pacific Ocean and the magnificent sea view was incredible.
James asked with a smile, "How is it? Is it much more comfortable than cold New York?"
Yang Cheng nodded, "Of course, California is undoubtedly more suitable for living than New York."
On one side of the terrace, there was a chef cooking a tin plate barbecue. At the end of the railing, several white-haired old men in their 60s sat on the sofa chatting, their hearty laughter was extraordinary.
James said in advance, "The fat man in the middle is the initiator of today's competition. Peter Flor, chairman of Texas Energy Group, and a senior member of Cypress Point. He has a wide connection in the energy industry and is a very interesting old man.
The one on Peter's left is Gerald Wallace, who joined the club last year. He owns three casino hotels in Las Vegas. The most amazing thing is that he owns 8% of the water rights around Las Vegas."
