The resort cottage was built, and Alice bought the ten acres of land in the surrounding area at one time. A three-story wooden house covering an area of ​​10,000 square feet is open land in front of it, and a hundred yards behind it is a lush forest. In such a vast area, both the surface and the underground belong to her.

As for the price, if you borrow a little or take a credit card, millions of dollars are not worth mentioning.

The rumbling sound was roaring, the Hummer was already on its way home, and there was little traffic on Highway 2, while Alice relaxedly opened the car windows, enjoying the stimulation of the February cold wind.

"The basement has four basketball courts, and it has a full cement structure. After I hired workers to pave the relevant electricity, water and gas lines, we can build a processing plant underground. Together with the purchase of chemical equipment, the entire project will end in June."

"Then where are you going to recruit workers?"

Wuya looked at a car and passed by herself: "There is only the Tuk in the relevant channels. Do you want to recruit him to work for you?"

"Just leave this to Ducky."

Alice put her arm on the car window, squinted her eyes, and looked at the forest whizzing outside the car: "What Roanapura lacks the most is people with channels. With Dutch's ability, it takes only three or four months to gain a foothold there. After I complete the construction of the chemical factory, it will be enough for him to find some chemists with excellent skills for me."

"American company registered in Thailand"

Wuya murmured: "It can indeed avoid a lot of trouble, and the number of people in this kind of company will not be large. The core wealth is actually concentrated on the channels it owns. There are many ports in Thailand, and it will be very simple to deliver people through ocean freighters by sea, even other goods are the same."

"In other words, the Black Reef Company's open business is ship transportation, which is exactly in line with the planning letter handed over to Duqi, and it just so happens to help this matter."

While speaking, the Hummer had already driven out of the depths of the mountain and passed by the edge of the community where the Aerodynamic Laboratory was located. Looking down from the mountain, the entire city of Los Angeles could almost be seen. In the distance of this vast, chessboard-like flat city, dozens of skyscrapers stand straight, which is the core area of ​​Los Angeles.

"So, I'll wait for that."

Alice smiled and looked at the characteristic landscape of Panshan Road: "Microsoft will be launched in March, and in just half a month, I will get the first advance bonus. With this money, there are too many things I can do."

Wuya glanced at the foot of the mountain. West Hollywood District would be only a few miles away. Even Burbank Airport could see directly: "Keep your mouth shut, you are talking about next month. Let's take a look at it first. Your new movie is released."

"Oh, that's it."

A perfect turn made Alice look at the city: "Speaking of this, let's move after DreamWorks expands a little more."

Wuya's expression moved: "What do you say?"

Looking down at the junction of downtown Burbank and Los Angeles on the mountainside, Alice smiled softly: "Hollywood Film City is here, Disney and Universal's company addresses are here. How can we still stick to the south of Sunset Avenue? Look, Wuya, do you see there?"

Following Alice's finger, Maiya looked out the window: "Zoo?"

"That's right, where is the intersection of the overpass. When I look back, I will talk to Uncle Roger and let him move the company to the next door of the zoo."

It was the "throat" area from downtown Los Angeles to Burbank. The corner of the road is sharply turned to the west northwest. The car is close to it. Wuya has a clear view of it. There are only some ordinary first-story factory buildings around it.

"Oh, that's up to you."

Wuya has no doubt about why Alice persuaded Lawrence to move.

Isn’t Microsoft’s first dividend after its listing more than enough to invest in DreamWorks?

From the original technology to the shareholder screenwriter who earned about 20 box office share, to the major shareholder who actually invested with capital

Thinking of this, Wumi frowned and the speed of the car subconsciously slowed down.

In this case, isn’t Mr. Lawrence working for Alice?

"It's really amazing."

With a silent smile, Wuya looked at Alice, who was still looking at the scenery beside her, and stepped on the accelerator hard.

Speaking of which, as soon as February arrived, invasive brain cells that started filming as early as the end of last year were finally released as scheduled.

The girl writer who created and directed the original and directed the Ghost Record of the Super Box Office movie, and has two consecutive novels that have been on the New York Times' annual bestselling list. A few months ago, a small celebrity interviewed on the Tonight Show, Alice King's new DreamWorks work, which invaded brain cells, attracted the attention of many industry insiders as early as the promotion.

Anyone who looks at the list of crew members will find an interesting fact.

In the ghost record at the beginning of last year, Alice was responsible for the two positions of screenwriter and director, and filmed this film with a very simple technology in the form of a family selfie. In fact, it was precisely because the film had a shooting cost of 20,000 US dollars and achieved an amazing return of over 200 million US dollars, many film companies are also planning to shoot similar movies!

Because the halo is too loud, no one notices who the assistant director is.

David Finch, a college student who has worked for Lucas Industrial Light and Magic for two years, that's all.

But when this character, which was originally unattended, suddenly became the director of the new movie, he naturally focused countless eyes on him. When the filming started, he could see that there were reporters around the set, trying to get any valuable news. And whenever they caught anything, they would be sent back to their respective newspapers as soon as possible.

But unfortunately, David Finch did not give the media too many opportunities to shoot. Because invading brain cells is indeed very special, a lot of plots are shot in the studio, such as a large number of illusions in dreams, or they either go to the Gobi area of ​​the desert to shoot, such as the murderer's crime in reality. Therefore, for a long time, news about this movie was like nectar in the desert. Every time they appeared a little, countless reporters would be frantically excited.

However, Alice, a film investor, has been busy with Black Reef for some time, and is either waiting for Microsoft's listing. So just five days ago, although Lawrence called her to notify her, Alice, who had been exposed to the public, still did not attend the premiere of the movie.

After returning to the city from Highway 2, at Alice's request, Wuya drove the Hummer to the headquarters of DreamWorks, which is currently located in front of the office building near Sunset Avenue.

However, the scene in front of us forced Wuya to stop the car from a distance.

Without even getting out of the car, Alice smiled bitterly and shook her head, "Oh my god, look Wuya, everyone is so lively."

"Please be quiet, please be quiet!"

Sabastian was standing on the steps at the door of the company, sweating profusely and feeling very angry.

At this time, more than 20 reporters were surrounded by the steps. From this morning to now, it has been so many hours since the cameras of this group of people were aimed at almost every window of the company. Even if ordinary clerks passed by casually, they would instantly click!

"Your behavior of squatting at the door of the company will disrupt public order and cause trouble to the normal operation of the company. If this continues, we will call the police!"

"Sir, can you tell me about your position? Can you speak on behalf of DreamWorks?"

"Sir, is the editor who invaded brain cells really Miss Alice Wang? Can the official give further explanation for her behavior that did not attend the premiere?"

"How do DreamWorks think about the current box office results of this movie? Are you expecting the big box office sales on the first day and the decline in the following days?"

"Excuse me"

"I think we'll walk through the back door."

Alice got out of the car from afar. Looking at the drama steward's sweaty look, she smiled bitterly: "If I rushed over now, these reporters would not want to leave."

Wuya nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, more than 20 people gathered around one person and asked me. I would definitely not be able to stand it and I had to go crazy."

"This is the characteristic of the entertainment industry, beautiful ladies."

Suddenly, a young man holding a pancake appeared next to the Hummer: "Especially those celebrities, they simply have no private life. To be honest, if it weren't for legal restrictions, maybe the paparazzi could have investigated what color they pooped!"

"As the so-called entertainment to death, isn't the beautiful new world written at the extreme of your situation?"

Alice patted the young man on the shoulder: "Speaking of it, Booker, why don't I remember that there are small shops selling pancakes around us?"

"Uh this"

A DreamWork employee named Booker turned pale with a handsome face.

Wuya is on the side: "Puff"

"And, it seems that you are still at work now? At this time, you are holding a pancake that you bought from somewhere. What is this for?"

"Uh this one"

"I won't report to Mr. Lawrence after paying one hundred dollars."

"Okay! No problem! Please accept it!"

In this way, Alice took the newly obtained $100 dollar bill and waved at Wuya proudly: "See, my dear, this is called business acumen" to be continued.

...
Chapter completed!
