"Young man, are you going there to make another Oscar-winning movie like The Last Emperor? Hahahahaha..."

"Forehead……"

Hongqiao Airport is currently being expanded with the help of Japanese companies, and the procedures for applying for a private jet to dock are too complicated. In order to avoid trouble, American entrepreneurs who go to attend the Mayor's International Entrepreneur Advisory Conference all take a flight from Arthur Andersen.

The office's charter flight goes there.

This Mayor's International Entrepreneur Advisory Meeting was arranged in advance through Arthur Andersen Accounting Firm.

Ronald is too young among this group of people. Many big bosses in the manufacturing industry have a very subtle attitude towards him, and there is some seeming frivolity in their words.

Ronald had nothing in common with them, especially Thomas, the Chrysler executive, who spoke rudely and toughly, relying on his tough attitude towards suppliers. In the context of the union's repeated strikes demanding wage increases, the old car factory was

Turn losses into profits.

They previously acquired the AMC brand, a joint venture with China, but they did not trust the manufacturing capabilities there, showing arrogance and disdain at every turn. Thomas failed in his bid for the CEO position, and he was marginalized in the power struggle during this trip.

Feeling unhappy, he began to tease Ronald, the youngest member of the group.

"Ah, little Ronald, please come and sit here. I have some things to do with insurance for Hollywood filming, and I want to ask you..."

Ronald, who was being annoyed by a group of big-bodied capitalists, suddenly heard one of the most senior members of the delegation, the CEO of AIG, Greenberg, who was elected as the head of the advisory group last year, yell to stop.

, gave up the seat next to him and let him go over for a chat.

This big boss is also a New Yorker and a Jew. He joined the army in his early years and participated in the Normandy landing. Later, he became the founder of AIG and appointed Starr as his successor. He is personable, has a well-controlled figure, and speaks with a slightly tilted head.

It has a charm that makes people approachable.

"Those people looked down on the manufacturing capabilities of that country's people, but I clearly saw huge potential in them waiting to be unlocked... Mr. Starr once told me that the people there are natural salesmen, visionary businessmen, and

The best workers…”

Maurice Greenberg may be the most optimistic about China among these entrepreneurs. He made a lot of pertinent suggestions at the advisory meeting last year when it was most needed, and was later elected as the leader. He expressed his gratitude to Ronald

People who are friendly to China like this also appreciate it, so I want to make friends with him.

"Has Mr. Starr been there?" Ronald asked curiously.

"Oh, God, have you never bought life insurance? Don't you know the company AIG? The company introduction of our contract will be printed with "founded in Shanghai... Come on, let me talk to you about life insurance"

The importance of..." Greenberg deliberately acted like a salesman.

After listening to him, Ronald realized that this life insurance company, one of the top three in America, was first established on the other side of the Pacific in 1919. There are still many senior white salesmen who can speak fluent Modu dialect.

They were all practiced in order to sell insurance policies back then.

"So, do you want to buy some insurance?" Greenberg asked again after introducing the company's history.

"Um..." Ronald touched his nose. This guy really spoke in a humorous manner. "To be honest, I'm still not familiar with the ways of doing business there. Could you please tell me, what's the most important thing?"

"Hey...", this flattery is really in the right place. What Greenberg is most proud of is being able to catch the big fish at the right time. His risky actions last year won the other party's favor, and now he has

He began to consider granting a license to his AIA and introducing a wholly-owned company as an exception to serve as a teacher for the domestic insurance market.

"Let me tell you, they are different from the stiff-minded people in the league. They are still more pragmatic. The key is that you have to understand what they really want and be flexible enough..." Greenberg was only willing to say a few words.

The general principles are talked about in general, but the real secret is silent.

Ronald asked several times, but Greenberg kept repeating the same formula over and over again. When pressed, he would just talk to him, "Where is that beautiful woman with you at the Los Angeles Airport? Why didn't I take this flight with you?"

Flight? By the way, let me ask you again, do you want to consider buying some insurance?"

"Oh my gosh, I heard Woody Allen say before that the definition of hell is sitting next to a life insurance salesman on a transoceanic flight." Ronald was touched by his sense of humor and came over.

One sentence.

"Hahaha, I like you, Ronald." Greenberg waved to him and stopped chatting.

"Hi..." Ronald returned to what he was writing at the back, took out his notebook and wrote down Greenberg's words. Although there were only general principles, he could also figure out some gaps.

After writing, he put the notebook into his bag, lowered the chair and tried to sleep.

Diane won the Best Supporting Actress in a Miniseries or TV Series category at the Golden Globe Awards party, and her acceptance speech was broadcast live on NBC to the world.

Of course, Helen in New York also saw it. This time she flew to Hongqiao Airport with the PBS documentary crew. When she saw Ronald at the Los Angeles Airport, he was very cold. Helen also invited her on her special plane.

Unwilling, he said he wanted to go with the camera crew. Ronald had to get on the special plane alone...

…

"Ladies and gentlemen, your... flight has arrived at Hongqiao Airport..."

This time I came to Ronaldo and saw some new things. Hongqiao Airport began to use English and Japanese broadcasts simultaneously, and the terminal building was also renovated according to Japanese standards, making it much more convenient than in the past.

People from the Commerce Department and the Grain and Oil Company were already waiting outside for Ronald's arrival, along with employees from the Coca-Cola office.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Mr. Li, this time our meeting will be held at the New Jinjiang Hotel, not the western suburbs last year. This is the arrangement of the meeting." Someone from Coca-Cola came over to help.

Ronald picked up his luggage.

"I want to chat with a friend." Ronald shook hands with Greenberg and other entrepreneurs and said goodbye, and then waited at the airport for Helen's plane to arrive. Fortunately, the people in the business office could not make unified arrangements for these entrepreneurs.

After asking for instructions from the leader, he handed the representative certificate to Ronald and then accompanied him on the trip.

"Ladies and gentlemen, your... flight has arrived at Hongqiao Airport..." Seeing Helen's flight arriving, Ronald, who was waiting at the door, suddenly saw Helen walking out on the arm of a middle-aged man.

.

The hand that Ronald just raised froze in mid-air. This middle-aged man was none other than Helen's father Gerald.

"Hey, Ronald, what did I tell you? You have taken good care of my daughter, why do you need me to accompany her?" Gerald approached and said to Ronald when he came up.

"Well, I didn't know you were on the same plane. No wonder Helen didn't get on my flight."

"I came here with the film crew to inspect the TV market here, No..." Gerald fully understood his daughter's thoughts. This kind of thing is quite common in the entertainment industry, and Ronald actually has a deep understanding of her.

He took good care of her, so he stopped scaring Ronald and gave his daughter's arm on his arm to Ronald.

"Hehehe, at the airport just now, did it look like a father handing his daughter's hand to the groom at a wedding?" When the two arrived at Xinjinjiang, Helen regained some of her emotions in the restaurant and started joking with Ronald.

"Uh..." Ronald was speechless. Wasn't it agreed upon at the time? It seems that women are fickle.

"You seem to like being the host of this documentary?" If that doesn't work, you have to "buy" a Golden Globe for Helen.

"I came here as a game. This kind of dubbing and narration is effortless for me. It can also be treated as a trip. I still want to invest the main energy in the movie..."

"Um..." Ronald put a hand on his forehead and rubbed his forehead hard several times. The competition for these movie awards is much more fierce than the TV awards. The highest honor of Oscar is not just about money.

It’s done, otherwise I’ll get a few for fun first. “The Oscar is actually a very fair professional association award...”

"So, being nominated for an Oscar is the real recognition of acting skills..." Helen posted.

"Uh..." Ronald fell into pain. Now that the strategic competition was coming, how could he bear it?

Suddenly, he saw an acquaintance sitting three or four tables away in the restaurant of the New Jinjiang Hotel.

"Director Huang?"

"Oh, Director Luo? What a coincidence..." Director Huang was very happy when he saw it was Ronald, and hurried over to greet him, "Are these my siblings?"

"Uh...", Ronald's forehead was almost bald, "This is my friend, Miss Helen Slater, she played Supergirl... This is Director Huang, I was filming in Xujiahui

Good friends from the studio..."

"Hello, Director Huang." Helen stood up and shook hands with Director Huang. She had watched her "Man, Ghost and God", a very feminist film, and when she saw the director in person, she listened obediently.

"I'm having a party with two of my friends, how about we come together?" Director Huang sent out the invitation.

"Okay..." Ronald hurriedly stood up to greet her. Helen was very well-behaved in front of the creators of these truly good artistic films. She had to change the topic quickly!

"These two are both from America. This is my good friend. It turns out that Zhu Liang from the Academy of Arts and Crafts immigrated there. This is an actor that my parents have known, Lu..."

"Ah, are you the one who played Cixi in The Last Emperor?" Helen was shocked to realize that this was the last emperor who won many Oscars that year. The chilling Empress Dowager Cixi was played by the Chinese actor Lu Yan at the beginning.

"It's me, hello, Miss Slater." Lu Yan originally went to school in Shanghai and entered the entertainment industry, and has known Director Huang and his family for a long time. "Should I call you Director Li or Director Luo?" Lu Yan

In Hollywood, only Chinese people can play roles, and there are not many roles. I came back before and starred in the new drama "The Last Noble" directed by Xujiahui Xie. This time I just came back to meet old friends and attend the movie screening event.

"Call me Xiao Luo, what kind of temple do you want to enter, what kind of wooden fish do you want to knock..." Ronald laughed.

"Director Ronaldinho's Songhai Gossip is a tripod? Are you here to make a movie?" Lu Yan looked at Director Huang with a different look. It seems that such a big-name director in Hollywood has a very good relationship with Director Huang.

Just like normal, joking around.

"They were all led by AIG's Greenberg... I came here to attend a meeting and meet an old friend..." Ronald explained the reasons for his and Helen's visit, and asked Director Huang, "What movie are we filming now?"

ah?"

"Hey, the film market has fallen sharply now. Film studios don't have much money to make movies, and I can't get my turn, so I'm changing my career path and preparing to make TV series..." Director Huang sighed, and she took the "Human, Ghost, and God"

She has won awards at several film festivals, but there is no Golden Bear award like Yimou. Considering the income, she has no more conditions to make such movies, so she has no choice but to make TV series.

"Ah? That's really a pity. If you have any scripts suitable for Hollywood, you can come to me to invest..." Ronald knew that co-productions are more strict now than they were a few years ago. For an American imperialist capitalist like him,

Due to his status, it may be difficult to get the treatment that Bertolucci received, but you can change your mind. What if Director Huang comes to Hollywood to film?

"Really? In fact, no one has filmed our Chinese-American stories in Hollywood. Director Ronaldinho is interested, so he might as well pay attention to the new work of a Chinese-American writer Amy Tan last year, called The Joy Luck Club..." Lu Yan heard from Ronaldo

When De said this, he immediately became interested and immediately recommended to Ronald a best-selling novel describing Chinese family life.

There are so many Chinese actors in Hollywood. In fact, many of them came to the United States from here, and their standards are very high. However, in the Hollywood environment, they can only play stereotypical supporting roles.

"Oh, I'll write it down..." Ronald wrote down the name of Joy Luck Club. "I'll go back and talk to Chao Li and ask him if this novel can be adapted."
