Chapter eight hundred and seventy-ninth the price paid
"Hi, Duke.◇↓,"
Looking at the middle-aged man walking towards him, Duke stepped forward and gently snatched his hand, "Hi, Larry."
Then he turned his head and nodded to David Ellison, who was following Larry Ellison, and greeted, "Sit as you like."
This is a reception room in the Duke Manor, which is often used by Duke to receive heavyweight guests. Although he can't stand the Ellison and his son, and both sides are more enemies than friends, Duke will not ignore the capital and power they represent.
No one can underestimate Larry Ellison.
Larry Ellison and David Ellison then greeted Scarlett Johnson and sat on two single sofas opposite Duke. Scarlett Johnson temporarily acted as a waiter and brought them coffee.
However, these two people were obviously not visiting the Duke Manor or tasting coffee. They didn't even look at the two cups of Blue Mountain coffee, and their eyes were always on Duke.
Duke was not in a hurry to guess the reason and purpose of the father and son coming. He sat in his seat and looked at Larry Ellison and David Ellison.
Larry Ellison had an inherent rebellious face, but he looked at Duke's eyes with a bit of complexity.
David Ellison wrote almost all his thoughts on his face, staring at Duke's eyes as sharp as a knife, and there was also unwillingness to accept it.
Duke's energy was basically all focused on Larry Ellison. In front of him and Larry Ellison, David Ellison had no qualifications to speak at all.
After placing the coffee pot, Scarlett Johnson sat next to Duke, gently holding his arm with one hand and closing his mouth tightly. After years of getting along, she knew very well that she didn't need to speak anything at this time.
Larry Ellison withdrew his gaze, but sighed in his heart. To some extent, the person on the other side was like him, with outstanding abilities and starting from scratch and creating huge wealth.
But what he saw was the difference between the other party and him. Duke Rosenberg's personality was more calm, and his deep heart was hidden under his calm face.
This is not a good person to deal with!
After years of observation, Larry Ellison finally confirmed this, but it was a little late, and the price he was about to pay was probably a bit heavy.
However, before coming, he was mentally prepared, and it was better to pay a certain price than David Ellison was caught in a murder scandal and an entangled lawsuit.
No matter what, David Ellison is his son.
"Duke..." Larry Ellison's eyes returned to this side, "David has decided to quit Hollywood."
Hearing this, Duke couldn't help but smile and turned to David Ellison, "This is a wise decision."
David Ellison pressed the armrest of the sofa hard, but said nothing.
There were some things that both sides didn't need to say explicitly, and there was no need to say explicitly. Larry Ellison spoke again. "David is my only son."
He didn't seem to understand the hidden meaning in this sentence, Duke said slowly. "Some things have to be paid if they do them."
Larry Ellison's face darkened, he knew that things weren't so easy to solve, "Tell me, Duke, what do you want."
Duke has put a lot of pressure on the Los Angeles police in recent times, but his purpose is not to investigate whether David Ellison is the main messenger behind the scenes, which will not do him any benefit.
Even if David Ellison is found out that he is the mastermind and sent him to prison, what benefits can he get? He will still become a irreconcilable opponent with Larry Ellison.
So Duke pondered for a moment, recalling the relevant information collected by Tina Fei, and said, "Since David is leaving Hollywood, Sky Movie Studio..."
"This movie studio is insolvent," Larry Ellison said, looking at his son, "it will be declared bankrupt soon."
"Bank?" Duke shook his head slowly, "It's OK, you strip the debts of Sky Movie Studio, and then..."
He stretched out a finger, "I bought the remaining shell company for ten million dollars."
Larry Ellison frowned slightly, and the resentment in David Ellison's eyes became even more obvious.
When she heard Duke's words, Scarlett Johnson was stunned at first. She didn't understand why Duke wanted to buy Sky Film Studio, and then she figured out that if Sky Film Studio's debt was stripped of Sky Film Studio, the company would be worth ten million US dollars.
After all, Sky Movie Studio has the copyright of multiple films.
But Scarlett Johnson did not read the latest relevant information, and of course he didn't know that there were more valuable things in Sky Film Studio.
"Father!" David Ellison finally couldn't help but speak.
Last month, Sky Film Studios had paid the two companies a considerable share of the preliminary investments in the Fast and Furious series, Star Trek series and Jurassic World after signing a formal cooperation agreement with Universal Pictures and Paramount Pictures...
It is obvious that Duke Rosenberg, opposite him, has taken a fancy to these, and these are his last capital.
Duke knew very well that with the mind and eyes of Larry Ellison and David Ellison, he could definitely see what he wanted.
There has never been a real gain in this world without giving.
Others don't know how valuable Duke knows how much value it is, even if Van Diesel is no longer Van Diesel is, even if Van Diesel is no longer worth it.
Of course, everyone has a bottom line.
For example, Duke, his bottom line is his mother and Scarlett Johnson, and no one can hurt them.
Duke didn't mention the Internet in front of Larry Ellison, and did not mention Oracle. He only talked about the film industry. He knew that this would make him gain enough profits and would not touch the bottom line of Larry Ellison.
After all, this is not a world and society that can be recklessly done. Even people of his level and Larry Ellison have to follow certain rules of the game. David Ellison broke the rules of the game before, but now he has to pay a price.
David Ellison looked at Larry Ellison and said as a reminder, "Father..."
Larry Ellison raised his right hand and interrupted David Ellison's words. He looked at Duke deeply, and at the same time he was a little impressed, and then said, "When the debt of Sky Film Studio is decommissioned, let your people contact mine and complete the transfer agreement as soon as possible."
Duke nodded slightly.
The two sides reached an agreement on this, but did not discuss specific matters. Whether it was Duke or Larry Ellison, they were actually very clear about the role money can play in this country. As long as Duke no longer puts pressure on the Los Angeles police, Larry Ellison will have enough room for operation.
This is enough for Larry Ellison.
Both sides are neither friends nor partners. After reaching a tacit understanding in this regard, they are too lazy to say anything. Larry Ellison and his son said goodbye, and Duke asked the butler Emma to send them out of the Eye-style villa.
"That's it?"
In the living room, Scarlett Johnson seemed a little unwilling to accept it, "Just let David Ellison go?"
"We just stopped putting pressure on the LA police." Duke sat back on the sofa, "Will things involve David Ellison in the end, it has nothing to do with us."
In the next ten days, the Ellison family stripped Sky Film Studio's debts as fast as possible and then completed the transaction with Duke. Duke directly merged the shell company into Lucasfilm. Not to mention the "Fast and Furious" series and the "Star Trek" series, the investment shares in "Jurassic World" alone will be able to obtain terrifying returns in the future.
The North American entertainment market, which has been stormy since early May, has gradually returned to quiet, especially the focus of the entertainment media, which has returned to celebrity gossip and their works.
On the Internet, Duke fans spontaneously launched an event Duke Rosenberg has been working on film for twenty-two years, to help us spend the movie time with us.
Countless movie fans left messages on this event.
"Duke's movies, what does it mean to your life? If someone asks me this question, my answer is that I don't know why I love Duke's movies, but I just like it!"
This is an ordinary movie fan from Texas, and the "Duke Blowers" from other regions are also scrambling to leave messages.
A Los Angeles fan wrote, "Duke's movie is my lifelong companion. It remembers the past life and can also show the future. And I live with them in the present. I love Duke Rosenberg! I love this movie!"
There is also a crazy "Duke Blow" on the East Coast. A New York movie fan left a message, "Every time Duke's movie is released, when I walk into the theater and sit in my seat, I can feel like I have entered a new world; when the lights on the screen light up, I know that it is a journey that belongs to me and Duke Rosenberg. There, I can forget the depression and troubles in reality, explore freely, and laugh with emotion!"
"Duke Blow" lives in this world in various forms. Only when encountering Duke's movies will it reveal its true identity. "I remember history, faith, attitude, ** and dreams in one thing, that is Duke Rosenberg's movie. I am grateful to his movies for appearing in my life and bringing more value to my shallow life."
"A person's life is short, so there are many regrets. The charm of Duke movies lies in allowing you to experience a different life in this short time and make up for the beauty you lost in your heart." (To be continued.)
