Lin Feng looked at the middle-aged man in front of him. He had a bald forehead, half-black white hair, a pair of golden eyes, and a confident and wise smile.

"Lin, let me introduce to you, this is..." Abby Cohen introduced.

"Abby, I know who this gentleman is, Steve Jobs, the founder of Apple." Lin Feng stretched out his right hand.

"I also know who you are, Lin Feng, the founder of "Second World" and the youngest richest man in mainland China." Steve Jobs also extended his hand, extremely enthusiastic.

The two hands were clasped together in the air.

Most of the guests in the banquet hall were gathering together to chat. Few people noticed this, and even if they noticed, they didn't care much. Little did they know that after this handshake, Lin Feng and Steve Jobs ended their lives.

I never shook hands again in my life.

Steve Jobs! Lin Feng's information immediately appeared in Lin Feng's mind. As a computer enthusiast, among the top ten influential figures in the IT world, Steve Jobs must be included.

Steve Jobs, an American hero, has gone through many ups and downs, but still stands firm. Just like what Hemingway said in "The Old Man and the Sea", a person can be destroyed, but not knocked down. He and Steve Jobs

Mr. Watts created "Apple", set off a trend of personal computers, and changed an era. However, he was blocked at the peak and fell from a high building to the bottom. But 12 years later, he made a comeback and started anew.

Two "Steve Jobs" eras.

In 1977, Jobs and his partners founded Apple.

In 1980, "Apple" stock went public.

In 1983, the "Apple" company reached its peak, but it was also a time of decline.

In 1984, Jobs was kicked out by the directors of Apple.

In 1997, when Apple was on the verge of bankruptcy, Jobs returned to Apple. At that time, Apple had debts of US$1 billion. By the beginning of 1999, Apple had a profit of US$309 million.

After returning to Apple, Steve Jobs launched the "Mac" notebook computer and the "iPod" earlier this month. It can be said that these two products have rejuvenated "Apple".

While Lin Feng looked at Jobs carefully, Jobs was also looking at Lin Feng. Of course, Jobs had already heard about the young man in front of him. However, the two parties were in different fields before, and Jobs was only interested in Lin Feng. After all,

There are too many examples of people who got rich overnight on Wall Street. The myth of becoming a billionaire overnight can be cited on Wall Street every month. Of course, there are indeed no young billionaires like Lin Feng.

What really made Jobs pay attention to Lin Feng and study it carefully was when his own company "Apple" launched the "ipod" on the 8th of this month. At the same time, Asia also launched an mp3 player called "Phantom". This

The "Phantom" mp3 player is very similar to the "Apple" "ipod" in both appearance and quality, except that the "Apple" "ipod" uses a micro hard drive, while the "Phantom" uses flash memory. Although

In terms of capacity, the "ipod" has an absolute advantage, but in terms of price, it is undoubtedly at an absolute disadvantage.

Compared with the performance advantages and disadvantages of the two products, Jobs was more concerned about the fact that Lin Feng actually came up with the idea of ​​making money by downloading MP3 songs for a fee.

This young man is extremely visionary and ambitious. ——Jobs's comments about Lin Feng. Just now he had discovered the "Phantom" mp3 player on Jessica's chest. Jobs could tell at a glance that it was not his company's "ipod"

", and immediately guessed Lin Feng's intention.

Although the news that Lin Feng signed Jessica as the spokesperson of "Phantom" has not been released yet, Jessica hung "Phantom" on her chest in such a high-profile manner that anyone who is not a fool can guess the secret. Jobs finally managed to

To pull "Apple" up from the edge of the cliff, "ipod" is "Apple's" big plan for the next few years. He will never tolerate the failure of "ipod". And Lin Feng's "Phantom" is undoubtedly the most powerful "ipod"

competitors.

When Lin Feng and Jobs were sizing each other up, Abby was also sizing them up. The attitudes of the two were so strange that Abby was sure that they had never met before, but the first time they met, they gave people a sense of

The feeling of tension made Abby a little confused.

Abby didn't know that Lin Feng's company had launched a "Phantom" that was almost the same as Apple's "ipod". If she had known, she wouldn't have introduced the two of them so enthusiastically.

"Mr. Lin, I wonder when your Phantom will land in the United States?" Jobs asked calmly.

"Mr. Jobs, soon, I believe that the American people will soon see another MP3 player with excellent quality and extremely cheap price." Lin Feng was not afraid that Jobs would know about it. Besides, he couldn't hide it even if he wanted to.

"Haha, then I wish Mr. Lin's 'Phantom' will be a big seller in the United States." After Jobs finished speaking, he politely apologized and left.

We'll see! - Lin Feng and Jobs said in unison.

"What's wrong, you two?" Abby asked.

"Haha, it's nothing, it's just that the mp3 player produced by one of my companies happens to compete with Apple's 'ipod'." Lin Feng said with a smile.

Abby shook her head and said to herself that she was confused. It was inappropriate to introduce two people who were at odds with each other in business to meet on such an occasion. Fortunately, neither of them behaved excessively.

After that, Abby introduced several giants in the financial industry to Lin Feng, such as Blank Fein, the president of Goldman Sachs (the first year salary in investment banking). At this charity gala, the first was to announce the "Lin Feng Charity Fund"

was established, and it also introduced Lin Feng to some big figures in the American financial industry. As one of the most important clients of Goldman Sachs in the future, Abby naturally hopes that Lin Feng can get to know more giants in the American financial industry.

At the subsequent founding ceremony, Lin Feng and Abby delivered speeches one after another, and the guests at the meeting also made generous donations. The "Lin Charitable Foundation" (including Lin Feng's US$30 million) raised a total of US$41.2 million.

Of course, Lin Feng's biggest gain at the charity gala was that he met several big Hollywood stars through Spielberg. For example, Tom Cruise, whom Lin Feng originally wanted to invite as the spokesperson for "Audition," but his agent

The annual endorsement fee of 3 million US dollars directly scares away Lin Feng. Although this price is not expensive compared to Tom Cruise's status in Hollywood, Lin Feng cannot afford to invite him. If it is 3 million yuan,

Lin Feng can consider it. As for Leonardo DiCaprio, the male protagonist of "Titanic" who has been very popular recently, Lin Feng doesn't want to try it again.

With the precedent of Tom Cruise, Lin Feng knew without even thinking about Leonardo DiCaprio, a super handsome guy who was pickier about his scripts than his wife. Otherwise, he would not agree at all.

I definitely can't bear the bidding.

However, in terms of signing contracts with Hollywood stars for endorsements, Lin Feng still reached the target he wanted to sign before coming to the United States - Keanu Reeves.

"The Matrix" released in 1999 instantly elevated Keanu Reeves to the status of a Hollywood superstar. Although his salary was not as high as Tom Cruise's US$20 million salary, it still reached US$15 million, and

Keanu Reeves' extremely cool time dodging bullets has made countless fans around the world crazy.

A film critic once said this - when Keanu Reeves puts on a black cape, sunglasses, and dodges bullets, no matter how high the salary is, it is reasonable.

Although Keanu Reeves is now popular, Lin Feng is still very confident about finding him as an endorsement. As a Hollywood superstar, Keanu Reeves is also a crazy music lover (with his own

Band), and he is extremely heroic. He was once famous for "The Matrix". In order to thank the members of the working group, he bought each of the working group members a "Harley Heavy Machinery". You must know that a "Harley Heavy Machinery"

, the cheapest one costs US$10,000, but Keanu Reeves bought 18 of them and gave them away.

As a person who loves music but doesn't care much about money, Lin Feng believes that he will be moved by his sincerity and "Audition".

This is indeed the case. After learning about Lin Feng's intention, Keanu Reeves carefully asked Lin Feng about the game concept of "Audition" and learned that Lin Feng was going to use his character 3D model in the game, and in

When the bullet dodge time appeared in the game, Keanu Reeves showed an expectant expression. In the end, the two reached an agreement.

"Second World" signed Keanu Reeves' endorsement rights in "Audition" for US$1.5 million per year, with a contract period of 3 years. Although this price is high, Keanu Reeves is now famous.

And with "The Matrix 2" to be released in the future, Lin Feng believes that he can definitely make back the money, not to mention Keanu Reeves can also become a signature character in "Audition".

After finalizing Keanu Reeves' endorsement contract, Lin Feng's trip to the United States came to an almost perfect conclusion. At this time, Spielberg also finalized the cooperation team, found good actors, and followed Lin Feng's introduction to Salt Lake.

Fox River Prison in the city began filming "Prison Break". As for the actors, it is almost the same as the original show, except that the heroine became Jessica Alba.

Of course, for his first TV series debut, which may also be his only TV series, Spielberg used his connections to invite many Hollywood movie stars to make guest appearances in the TV series.

After this news was "inadvertently" leaked to reporters by Spielberg, it immediately aroused huge repercussions. You must know that only popular TV drama stars have made guest appearances in movies, but this time it is movie stars who have made guest appearances in TV dramas. Many viewers are looking forward to this.

When Pielberg and Jessica performed in "Prison Break", they also began to look forward to seeing many big Hollywood stars in this "Prison Break" TV series.
