At the Washington International Hotel, the waiter was tidying up the sheets and bedding while looking towards the living room from time to time.
Although he doesn't care about the news, he can't help but Lu Fei's face is frequently on the screen in the United States. It's impossible not to be known.
I couldn't recognize the other blonde girl, but I could guess that she must be an expensive high-end girl.
After all, when she was called to clean the room, she felt like she was cleaning a bloody interrogation room.
There were instruments of torture everywhere on the floor and on the bed.
An inhumane interrogation clearly took place here.
"Ma'am, the room has been cleaned."
The waiter in a vest changed the bedding and cleaned up the garbage, then came out and smiled at Ivanka.
"Here's your tip."
Ivanka was wearing a bathrobe, and the marks on her wrists had not disappeared. She took out a few coins from her handbag and handed them over as usual.
Tip yourself?
The waiter was startled. After thanking him, he turned around and pushed the trolley out of the suite, trying his best to forget about the incident.
"Huh~"
Ivanka blew out a smoke ring and walked out calmly.
I saw Lu Fei sitting in front of the computer. The pages on the screen were full of news about yesterday's trip to the White House, including theirs and Apple's.
"Lucian: Apple is the representative of "Made in America"! "
"iphone4, the crystallization of American high technology."
"Lucian, who loves BlackBerry, likes the new but hates the old? BlackBerry's stock price fell slightly that day, while Apple rose because of the iPhone 4."
"..."
With more than two hours before the noon break, Apple's stock rose by 5%, and the corners of Lu Fei's mouth rose slightly.
"The photo you asked for is already in my mailbox."
Ivanka sat entirely on his lap.
Lu Fei nodded and saw her getting into the mailbox. There were not only clear photos but also complete videos.
Opening the pages one by one, I couldn't help but laugh out loud when I saw Lucian's embarrassment while holding his iPhone 4 and being unable to make calls for a long time.
"Aha~"
"Can you still laugh?"
Ivanka frowned, "This time Apple has even used Lucian for marketing. How can your logic hold up?"
"Do you think you can stand it?"
Lu Fei raised his crotch.
"What on earth do you want these photos for?"
Ivanka rolled her eyes.
"Don't you think the photo was very vivid?"
Lu Fei kept zooming in on the close-up of his hand until it could no longer be zoomed in, and then poked Lucian's gesture of holding the phone.
Ivanka didn't know about the iPhone 4 antenna defect, but she vaguely guessed it was related to Apple's signal. She didn't think there was a problem with the phone, but blamed it on the poor signal around the White House.
"Very close."
Lu Fei looked at the dense advertisements and news about Apple on the Internet and showed a mysterious smile, "Marketing, it's best to hold iPhone 4 to the sky. These will be of great use when the time comes. If God wants it to perish, he must first make it crazy. .”
Ivanka was very curious: "Aren't you a shareholder of Apple? Don't you want the stock to keep rising?"
"How much are stocks worth?"
Lu Fei smiled and said: "One dollar can buy a piece of bread that can last for a day, but if you buy a gun, you can eat it every day. Without Apple, will Android and Logic earn less?" He fell back and said, "Of course. I can’t bear Apple’s demise, and I will try my best to implement good logic and acquire the declining Apple as a subsidiary in the future.”
"If you let Steve Jobs know that you have the idea of acquiring Apple, he will definitely challenge you to a duel!" Ivanka was stunned.
"I would love to get into the Octagon with him."
"He is a patient! Aren't you afraid of beating him to death?"
"So as atonement, I will buy Apple and revive it.
"Lu Fei put his hand into his bathrobe.
"If you can really buy Apple, will you do what you did with Motorola, spin it off and list it, and sell it in a package?"
Ivanka looked at him with a wicked smile, "Sure enough, Uncle Carl and Dad are right, you lack the basic moral bottom line of life."
"Oh, they still have the nerve to talk about me?"
Lu Fei dismissed it, "This is America, and America has no moral bottom line!"
"You are such a shameless bastard."
Ivanka wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Okay, put on your clothes and get down to business. Don't you want to be the most powerful woman in Hollywood in the future?"
Lu Fei slapped her on the butt, "Go and urge Perlmutter, Marvel took too long to think about it!"
Ivanka followed his gaze to the computer, immediately threw away the cigarette butt, held his face, and kissed him fiercely.
The display screen behind clearly displayed——
"Disney is rumored to join Marvel bidding war."
"Disney announced that it will compete with Han and Tang Dynasties for Marvel. The stock price has dropped by 3 percentage points, and the capital market is generally not optimistic."
"Disney + Marvel = Beauty and the Beast."
"A Wall Street analyst said: Disney is currently taking a wait-and-see attitude. Although the acquisition of Marvel seems outrageous and seems like a joke, Disney's acquisition of Pixar was also considered "the most outrageous thing in the world." The final result is obvious to all. "
There is no airtight wall in the world, let alone the White House.
The news of Disney's acquisition of Marvel spread throughout the United States almost overnight, arousing heated discussions among the media and the public.
All of a sudden, both Disney fans and Marvel fans couldn’t stand it anymore.
Especially now that "Iron Man 2" is in theaters.
Disney, CEO office.
The phone on the table kept ringing, and Iger answered one after another, trying to appease shareholders who were stimulated by the stock price.
Vice President Bob Eagle, as a confidant, also helped answer the questions, and from time to time he would bring unexpected bad news:
"Robert, most of the directors who had previously promised to vote on the board of directors in favor of increasing the acquisition budget temporarily changed their minds. They were worried that Marvel would affect Disney's stock price."
"Didn't we expect this?"
Iger said calmly: "This is only temporary."
"I said that."
Bob Eagle shrugged.
"This will be as good a business as Pixar."
"I said so too."
"It's no use even if you say all this?"
When Iger heard this, he said, "Okay, which ones? Will it affect the final voting result of the board of directors?"
"Judging from the number of votes and the total number of shares, I'm afraid it has already been affected. Moreover, the stock price is still falling and public opinion has not calmed down. This will make more directors who are originally wavering on the acquisition of Marvel stand on the opposite side of us. Should we continue to fight? give them?"
Bob Eagle had worry written all over his face.
"The two of us alone are not enough."
Egg called a few more cronies to come in.
One after another, call after call.
The bespectacled executive shook his head: "I also regretted it. I even thought it was a mistake to agree to the acquisition before. Instead of spending 4 billion US dollars to buy Marvel, it would be better to buy Lucasfilm. After all, the Star Wars series is powerful. A money-grabbing tool."
"I will buy Lucas, and I will buy Marvel!"
Iger crossed one off the list of board members.
Bob Iger hung up the phone: "Tom agreed to increase the budget, but did not agree to self-fund Marvel Studios. He felt that Marvel movies had prospects, and they were all based on the production capabilities of Fox, Sony, and Hantang." , judging from the box office performance of "Hulk" and "Captain America", Marvel Studios does not have the ability to develop this."
"Tell him, tell him right away."
Iger said: "Movies are only one part. Disney can apply Marvel's images and characters to other areas."
Fields such as theme parks, games, animation, etc. can make more money. "
The confidants fed back the opinions of the directors one by one. Except for Steve Jobs, who was a die-hard, more than half of those who originally supported were opposed, and those who were originally opposed were determined to carry out their opposition to the end.
Bob Eagle saw the dense list of objections and was frightened: "The board of directors will be held the day after tomorrow..."
"I know I know."
Iger rubbed his eyes, but at this moment, the phone rang. Seeing that it was Perlmutter's number, he asked Bob Iger to answer it for him, giving him more room to maneuver.
As soon as Bob Eagle answered the call, his entire face gradually collapsed, from embarrassment to a bitter smile, from depression to solemnity.
"How to say?"
"Perlmutter asked us if we still want to acquire Marvel? Huaxia Lu and Ivanka exerted a lot of pressure."
"Of course! Of course we want it!"
"He also asked if the result of our budget increase is out? If we can't give a quote of US$4.35 billion than Han Tang's offer, and higher conditions than the "creative committee", the Marvel board of directors has basically agreed to Han Tang's proposal. plan. "
"boom!"
Egger punched the table hard.
"And... and..."
Bob Eagle sighed: "Perlmutter also forwarded a win-win plan on behalf of Han and Tang. Considering Disney's platform and resources, Huaxia Land is willing to jointly develop, invest, and distribute with us in addition to games, toys, Disney is also given priority in licensing derivatives such as theme parks..."
"Why does this sound familiar?"
Egger suddenly thought about it.
Isn’t this what I said to Lu Fei yesterday?
These are all my words!
"I think this plan is good. Han and Tang are good at making Marvel movies. They have discovered B-level and even C-level heroes like Iron Man who are comparable to S-level heroes like Spider-Man."
The glasses executive touched his chin: "We are only responsible for investment, issuance and derivatives markets, with low risks and high returns..."
Just as he was about to continue speaking, he realized that Egg was staring at him sharply, and he was too frightened to say the rest of the sentence.
"Can't we take a photo?"
Egger looked left and right.
"But directors and shareholders don't think so."
Bob Eagle said seriously: "If they knew there was such a plan, the budget proposal would definitely not pass."
"I called Steve again."
Egg feels troubled, and for this plan——
We can only invite Steve Jobs to come to the board meeting in person!
As Disney's boardroom meetings rage on, times are different at the Bellagio Chapel in Las Vegas.
The church's white pews are covered with velvet cushions and lined with red candles and bright bouquets of flowers.
A specially invited blind band is playing jazz.
"Take it easy, dick."
Lu Yun patted Lu Fei on the shoulder.
"Me? I'm not nervous..."
Lu Fei was wearing a neat suit. He looked around and saw tears in the eyes of Xiao Hongmei and Zeng's mother. He also saw Zeng Yu wearing a pink dress and acting as the wedding master of ceremonies.
"Time is up."
Zeng Yu cleared his throat.
Lu Fei was indeed a little nervous at this time. He kept adjusting his dress, looking at the door with his glasses, feeling a little emotional in his heart.
Next time, I won’t be so nervous…
The wedding march sounded and the church door opened.
Wearing a white wedding dress and an emerald bead necklace around her neck, the beautiful Zeng Li appeared holding her father's hand, approaching her gracefully, her eyes sparkling.
Behind her, the flower girls and ring bearers kept taking care of the long tail, and the cameras set up all around kept filming.
After many months of training, Wang Ben also works as a photographer.
The flashlight kept flashing.
"today
We are gathered here to celebrate the sacred wedding of my sister and brother-in-law..."
Lu Fei stared at the shy and downcast face under the veil, and Zeng Yu's voice in his ears became farther and farther away, becoming increasingly blurry.
"Ahem."
Zeng Yu coughed.
"I do."
Lu Fei found Zeng Li looking at him with a smile.
"Bride, would you like to..."
"I do!"
Zeng Li said it without hesitation.
Relatives and friends began to cheer and applaud.
"Please exchange tokens with the bride and groom."
After saying a few rehearsed vows, the two put their wedding rings on each other's left ring fingers and kissed each other.
Afterwards, there was a traditional tea ceremony in a Western-style church, which was a perfect combination of Chinese and Western styles.
Lu Fei and Zeng Li paid tribute one by one, received blessings from Lu Yun and others, nodded to Zeng Li's father, who had zero communication with him during the whole process, and then hugged her mother and Xiao Hongmei, who were filled with tears, and then put up one arm, Let her hold his arm.
Zeng Li hugged Lu Xia with her other hand.
The two families neatly took a family photo.
Although the church was empty, Zeng Li was so moved that she could not speak clearly, and tears rolled down her cheeks.
As for the lost flowers, they fell directly into Zeng Yu's hands.
In the midst of constant communication and laughter, Zeng's mother took over Lu Xia from Zeng Li and let the newlyweds go into their own little world.
Zeng Li waved reluctantly, and was suddenly picked up by Lu Fei, carried into the luxurious wedding car, and then the engine started.
After Wang Ben was busy with photography, he became a driver again.
"Thank you for your hard work, senpai."
Lu Fei looked at Zeng Li tenderly.
She was uncharacteristically admiring the wedding ring and complaining casually: "You know, I need to take a rest later. It's all your fault. I'm busy with the preparations."
"I know I know."
Lu Fei hugged me and said, "Thank you, dear."
Zeng Li smiled sweetly: "I'm just kidding. I heard from Ivanka that according to their American tradition, the woman should organize the wedding, because this day is the bride's special day."
Lu Fei leaned forward and kissed her gently.
Zeng Li bit his lip gently.
When their eyes met, the sky thundered and the earth fired.
As soon as the wedding car arrived at the romantically decorated villa, the two entered the house, changed their clothes, and started playing sweetly.
The sky is dark and the moon is hazy.
On the balcony, Lu Fei was lying on the lounge chair with the Chinese character "Tai" in his hand. Zeng Li leaned in his arms, put her head on his shoulder and said:
"A Fei, at this time next year, how about we come here too? You, me, Xia Xia, just the three of us?"
"Okay! Of course!"
Lu Fei hugged her tighter, staring at the villa and the lawn with people coming and going, the brilliant lights, scenery and human fireworks sighing, in a daze, it seemed a little unclear whether this was a dream or real. life.
At this moment, Ivanka called at an inappropriate time.
Marvel has it!
