"Mr. Corleon, stay!" When I was about to reach the gate, Adolf called me back from behind.

"What's wrong, Mr. Chuck?" I turned around and looked at Adolf Chuck and Jessica.

The two of them muttered for a while, Adolf's suggestion, I, I accept it!"

I gave Adolf's lung-breaking incident to 1,300 cinemas, but considering his wealth and life, and considering that each cinema gave him 2 yuan subsidy, Adolf still had no reason to refuse.

"Very good, Mr. Chuk, happy cooperation." I reached out to Chuk.

Hold my hand, Adolf

"Mr. Corleon, let's go to the municipal government notarization office to sign the contract tomorrow morning, and we will leave first." After talking about the matter, Adolf took Jesse's private room.

"Success! 1,300 cinemas!" Ah jumped up, and the two of them twisted their bodies and danced, and even Yassel, who had always been steady, got involved.

"Look at you, you're just the blackmailing success?" I shook my head helplessly, picked up my coat and was about to leave.

"Boss, what are you doing?" Gans grabbed me.

"What else can I do? Go back to the company." I put on my coat and opened the door.

Gans pointed to the delicious food in the room and said with a sad face: "Boss, this box Adolf Chuk has paid for it. Don't you want to be happy with so many delicious foods? Besides, it's okay for everyone to go back to the company."

"Yes, boss, it's rare to come to the Imperial Hotel. The minimum consumption of this private room is about 10,000 US dollars. Boss, let's enjoy it for a while before leaving." Stenberg said to me while drinking it.

I looked at Jassel and saw that although he didn't speak, he also wanted to stay.

I understand their feelings. For us DreamWorks, it would be great to have one time a year for us.

"Okay, okay, come on, let's have a good time." I threw my coat onto the sofa, rolled up my sleeves and joined the carnival of these guys.

We were making a fuss until midnight before we left. Gans did not break his promise. He asked the waiter to pack all the delicious food and drinks inside and move them into his car. Several of us were almost laughed to death by him.

On the morning of August 25, Adolf and I came to the Los Angeles Municipal Government Notary Office and signed a contract under the witness of lawyers and government officials. I bought 1,300 theaters of Paramount for $26 million. The specific amount of payments paid by DreamWorks was revealed. After signing the contract, Chuck and I were relieved.

After leaving the notary office, Adolf couldn't speak.

But I naturally knew his thoughts very well. After the group entered the elevator, I took out a kraft paper bag from my handbag and handed it to Adolf.

"Mr. Chuck. These things were left by Sister Sando. Now I will give him to you. Don't worry, everything is here, I have not left anything, I hope that through this thing, Paramount and DreamWorks will become good friends. How?" I asked Adolf.

Adolf took the bag, quickly stuffed it into his bag, then looked at me gratefully and said, "I believe you, Mr. Corleon, please forgive me for your past events. We Paramount are willing to be friends of DreamWorks forever."

We both looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

"Mr. Corleon, we have one more thing to discuss with you." Jessillasky took advantage of the situation.

"Tell me, Mr. Lasky." I raised my eyebrows.

Jesse is now redecorating theaters in Hollywood, and we have a good impression of audio movies, so, so we want to…”

Watch Jesse buy a batch of audio movie projection equipment from us?”

"That's right! Of course, this requires your consent from Mr. Corleon." Jessica looked at me with anticipation.

"This is fine. You can place an order from Factory 5 or Factory 3, and I will entrust them with a shout." I looked at Chuk and Jessie friendly.

"That's great! Mr. Corleon, thank you so much." Jesse took my hand.

After leaving the notary office, everyone said goodbye. I got into the car, and Gans was very dissatisfied.

"Boss, why do we sell audio movie screening equipment to them? This way, Paramount will have a great increase in strength!" Gans said angrily.

"What you mean, did you make me refuse Adolf, saying: "You kid will be voluntarily and sell it to Paramount's audio film screening equipment. For us, there are only benefits and no harm. First, we can improve our relationship with Paramount. Second, if we don't sell it to Paramount equipment, they can only continue to show silent movies. Silent movies are not very popular now. In this way, Paramount's strength will be greatly damaged. How can we expect it to fight against MGM? Third, Paramount now has 4,700 cinemas, and selling audio film screening equipment to Shi Sanniao, why don't we do it?!"

I looked out the window and said slowly.

In fact, there is another more important reason why I sold audio film screening equipment to Paramount, that is, if I didn't sell it, with Paramount's strength and Adolf, they would definitely find ways to develop audio film related technologies, and they would definitely be able to develop them in the end. Historically, the Rockefeller Consortium organized personnel to develop them because it was dissatisfied with the harsh conditions of Western Electric's patents on audio films, and later developed the "Futo Style"

The film system broke the monopoly of Western Electric Company, a world-wide bureau, and the Bureau Electric Company has never recovered from this. Instead of letting Adolf lead Paramount to research the technology and tear off my platform, it is better to sell the audio film screening equipment in their hands to them. Not only did they make money by selling personal favors, they would not have created any new technology to make my opponents, so why not do it?

After my explanation, Gans then calmed down and went to Yassel happily for the 1300 cinema.

"Jasel, from today on, you have to start the receiving task we originally decided to start. In any case, you have to complete this task successfully to me!" I said to Jasel solemnly.

Of course Yassel knows the importance of these 1,300 cinemas

The car came out of the Los Angeles city government and arrived at the intersection in the city center and the traffic jam was in front of the traffic jam. We waited in the car. After waiting for several minutes, there was no movement. I and Yassel came out of the car from Cheli to a small cafe on the side of the road and sold a cup of coffee.

The business of this small shop was very good. We waited for a while before we bought it. The two of them stood on the side of the road with cups and chatted while holding them. Seeing that we were so leisurely in the car, Gans also ran out and got into the coffee shop.

I only drank less than half of a cup of coffee. A man who came out of the corner of the street with a top hat hit me. The coffee in the cup not only splashed my face, but also the suit on me was everywhere.

Looking at the fancy suit, I feel sorry for this suit. This suit is the most expensive one among my not many decent suits. It is customized in the most famous tailor shop in Los Angeles. Each set costs more than 10,000 yuan. If you pour such a cup of coffee, it would be better!?

"Sorry, Sorry, Sorry, I. I didn't see it." The man saw that he had caused trouble and quickly apologized to me.

Yassel saw me in a messy look next to him, and was very angry and shouted to the man: "What's wrong with you? You don't even look ahead when you walk!? There are so many people on the street, you...Shotal!"

Yassel was halfway through his words and screamed in surprise.

The man was stunned when he heard Yassel's words. He raised his head and looked at Yassel, and then he smiled.

"Yasel! How could I see you here?!" The man grabbed Yasel's hand and his beard shook with excitement.

"Yasel, what did you call him just now?" I pointed at the man and asked to Yasel.

"Oh, look at me so happy that I forgot to introduce it. Boss, this is my old friend, Shauthal, and this is my boss Andre.

At this time, Shottal took off his high hat covering his eyes. Only then did he see clearly that it was me who hit the ground.

"Mr. Corleon?! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm having something to do. I'm walking too fast." Shottal said to me apologetically.

"Yasel, is this Mr. Schotal who ran the Lightning Company with you and pushed the Lightning Company to its peak of development?" I have never seen Schotal. I have never seen Schotal's photos in later generations, so although I know a lot about this person, I don't know him at all.

Shottal is an amazing film company operator. He and Yassel managed the Lightning Company together. Yassel managed the theater screening and external relations. He not only managed various things within the company, but also filmed, promoted and operated. He was a rare versatile player, which was deeply admired by the Hollywood film industry at that time. During the period when he and Yassel were there, the Lightning Company soared into the sky and developed vigorously, until later Bala intervened in the reorganization of the Lightning Company. After the reorganization of the Lightning Company, Yassel and Shottal both left the company and gradually withdrew from people's sight. When I went to school, every time I saw this history, I would think about what the Lightning Company would look like if they had not left, but at that time, I could only think about it. I actually bumped into him here today, and this surprise is indescribable.

I looked at the Sautal in front of me carefully. His figure of about 1.7 meters made him look not very eye-catching. I could not find him casually. He was gray in his temples and had a few wrinkles on his face. In fact, his actual age should be similar to Yassel. But when the two of them stood in front of him, the person who didn't know must have said that it was a father and son. He was wearing a black tuxedo, dressed up very well, with a mustache on his lips, neatly and beautifully trimmed, his hair was a little messy, and his dry and grayish, and his spirit was very good. The vicissitudes and determination in his eyes made him very different from the ordinary people around him.

Such a business genius, if it weren't for Yassel's side, even if he was sitting opposite him and drinking coffee, I wouldn't know who he was.

"Boss, you're talking about him. I haven't seen him for a long time since I left Lightning Company. If he hadn't had this mustache and hit you, I would have been passing by him."

Yassel looked at Shottal happily and said in a deep voice: "So many years have passed, Shottal, why are you so old?!"

Shottal's face turned dark and said with a smile: "It's hard to say, it's hard to say."

When I saw the two of them suddenly become so sad, I pushed them into the coffee shop together.

When I entered, I happened to see Gans coming out with a cup of coffee. When the guy saw my embarrassing look, he held back his smile and took out a handkerchief to wipe it.

"Boss, do you dare to splash your coffee? Are you teasing someone else and getting angry?" Gans asked with a wicked smile.

"Get out!" I kicked it, Gans turned around and dodged, but the cup of coffee in his hand did not spill out a drop. It seemed that this dodging skill had already cultivated into the realm of transformation.

The four of them picked a table and sat down, and then talked in detail.

"Shotal, what have you been busy with over the years?" Yassel looked at Shotal and asked curiously.

Shottal said without any concealment: "After leaving the Lightning Company, I took out all the money I had saved over the years, bought three fishing boats, and set up a small fishing farm. I wanted to make some money from this fishing farm. But I encountered a storm when I went out to sea the next year, and one of the three fishing boats came back, and more than twenty people died in the employee. As a result, I sold the boat and borrowed a lot of money to make this matter.

I opened another small grocery store. I paid off the debts I owe in the wind and rain over the years. Yassel, over the past year, I often hear your name from all over the place. Haha, you are doing well."

Shottal looked at Yassel's smug look, and a hint of envy flashed in his eyes.

"When I left Lightning Company, I was similar to you, but my luck was better than you. I didn't lose all my savings. Later, I met my boss, so I could continue to do something in Hollywood." Yassel looked at me and said softly.

Shottal nodded repeatedly and turned to me and said, "Mr. Corleon, although I haven't done anything related to movies in many years, I have always watched your movies, which is very good. The only regret is that I can meet you when I was lightning, so we may have the opportunity to cooperate. What a happy thing it would be to work with you."

When Shawtal talked about Lightning Company, he was sad. For him, Lightning Company was a wound that could never be erased in his heart for the rest of his life.

Yassel and I looked at each other and understood it for a moment. Yassel squeezed his eyes at me. I smiled and said to Shottal, "Mr. Shottal, if you don't dislike it, how about working at our DreamWorks? Yassel is also here. The Lightning Company you used to work in has now become our second factory. If you can join, I would like to welcome you."

I have always admired Shottal's business talents. It can be said that in Hollywood he is one of the few business geniuses, and his talents are probably comparable to Meyer of MGM and Jesselsky of Paramount. DreamWorks is now a time when people are short of people. If he can bring him in, I will be like a tiger and fish in water.

With Yassel, Lightning Film Company, DreamWorks and my fame, I am very sure to take down this Shottal. Who knows the result, but Yassel and I were surprised at the same time.

Shottal's body shook for a moment, then he raised his head and stared at me, and shook his head resolutely: "Mr. Corleon, thank you for your respect for me, but I have no interest in the film industry anymore. I am old and just want to spend the rest of my life comfortably. So, I appreciate your kindness. Yassel, I am very happy to see you today. I still have something to do. Let's talk about it next time I have the chance."

After saying that, Shottal stood up, put on his top hat and smiled at us twice, lowered his head and walked out of the coffee shop door.

"Hi. This guy's temper is even worse than Griffith." Gans looked at Shottal's back and felt a little unhappy.

Yassel shook his head repeatedly. Then sighed at me and murmured: "Boss, Sautal has given up on the film industry."

"How do you say this?" Gans didn't understand what Jassel meant.

"That means that Hollywood was too hurtful to Shottal's headquarters back then. He and Hollywood were cut off in one fell swoop, otherwise he wouldn't have left Hollywood and left the old business and opened any fishing grounds." Yassel explained.

I smiled slightly from the side: "I don't care about so much, no matter whether he gives up on Hollywood or not, I'm going to make a decision!"

Chapter 223

Yassel looked at me as if I was bound to win and sighed: "Boss, Sautal was not like this back then. He was passionate about Hollywood and movies. He worked in Hollywood since he was in his early twenties, from a low-level drama to an assistant producer, then to the theater manager and then to the general manager of Lightning Company. It took him 10 or 20 years to go through this journey, and only he himself knew the hardships he suffered. After finally joining Lightning Company, we worked together to do all the work.

Time and managers were put into the company's business. Even when we were eating and sleeping, we thought about how to run the company well. As a result, we had done it. We developed a small film company that was not as famous as Hollywood and had great potential. But just when we were about to do a big job, the directors of the company, the men who usually sat and collected money, kicked us away. Boss, you don't understand how we felt at that time. That kind of chill and despair is something that ordinary people cannot understand."

"I have not reached the point of being discouraged by Hollywood. At most, I have become indifferent because I have seen through it. Boss, if you hadn't found me and trusted me so much now and let me do it, I guess I might have spent my whole life peacefully. But Shottal and I would be different. He was completely discouraged by Hollywood and movies, and he was heart-wrenching discouragement and hatred, so you wouldn't be able to pull him into DreamWorks."

Yassel stared at the crowd outside the window, his tone was very heavy. I didn't understand what he said, because I also knew a little about that history.

But I have always been stubborn and will continue to do what I see correctly. Now I have a crush on Sautal, so no matter what others say, I have to pull him into DreamWorks.

"Stop drinking, follow me." I stood up, took off my coat and walked towards the cafe gate.
