America’s Big Hero

Damn French!

He even laid an ambush in Chad 87 years in advance to fight against me!

It's just too shameless!

After scolding the French severely, Sean asked again: "Where does Chad buy weapons from the French, do they have money?"

"Of course, Chad is rich in oil."

"No, I remember that Chad is one of the poorest countries in the world." Oil rich? Sean tilted his neck in disbelief.

"Yes, civilians in Chad are the poorest in the world, but that doesn't mean that rich people have no money, do you understand what I mean?" Reagan smiled and shook his head and said, "Although the international crude oil market is very depressed now, although Chad's industrial level is very It is backward, but with a daily output of more than 30,000 barrels of crude oil, even at the current crude oil price, it can earn more than 300,000 US dollars a day, and this is just crude oil.”

"In addition, Chad is rich in trona, and the French planted cotton in Chad 80 years ago."

"Okay, I have money, but I found that the weapons are poor?" Sean spread his hands, the poorer the place, the more rich people can appear, what the hell...

"It's not that Africa has no money, but we can't directly sell them any advanced weapons, not even the first batch of eliminated products. This is a tacit agreement." After thinking about it, Reagan said ambiguously.

Sean blinked, and immediately understood what was going on. Firstly, he would make more money selling waste products. Secondly, he would also keep suppressing the African region by force, so that it would be convenient for them to rob...it would be convenient for economic cooperation!

"Well, you mean the French won't let me sell weapons there?" Sean frowned.

"It's very difficult for you to even transport weapons in!" Reagan said with a smile, "Chad is a landlocked country, and the countries that are close to the sea are Libya, Northern Sudan, Nigeria, and Cameroon."

"Northern Sudan is at war, and there is no road to transport you. The most convenient place is Cameroon, followed by Nigeria, but this is also the sphere of influence of the French." Speaking of this, Reagan smiled very unkindly.

Sean: (O_o)??

The French are so annoying!

How to trip up the French?

Otherwise Sean would feel uncomfortable!

Write it down and talk to Thompson Alves later, you must get a share of the action.

"Have you figured out what to do?" Reagan looked at Sean with a smile.

"Okay, give me a batch of old planes, the kind of ground attack planes from World War II, with propellers and cannons."

"You're kidding, there's no such thing!" Reagan shook his head like a rattle. "We started using jet fighters in the late World War II. What you said has long since rotted."

"No more?" Sean was taken aback.

"No, Sean, you have to understand that it is an airplane. There are only so many countries in the world that can produce airplanes. Don't even think about propeller ground attack planes. There are still propeller planes for agricultural use."

"Uh..." Sean scratched his head. In fact, to deal with any Toyota tactics, armed helicopters are the best, and it is very easy to fight with machine guns condescending.

But now listening to what Reagan means, he is determined not to sell that kind of advanced gold weapons to Africans, and Sean also understands this point.

Then you can only...

Sean turned his head and looked east, what is the leader of the third world!

However, Sean still kept the matter of the propeller fighter in mind, and he was going to talk to old man David when he turned around. If I remember correctly, there will be a propeller fighter that sells very, very well in the future, and it will sell well all over the world!

That is the Super Toucan from Brazil!

It's definitely not good against other fighter jets, and it's hard to fight against tanks, but it's not too easy to use against anti-government forces, drug criminals and so on!

For a while, Sean couldn't think of any benefits. At this time, Weinberg helped to mention, "The domestic police work environment is a bit too dangerous, and professional training is urgently needed. Umbrella Company happens to have the ability to train the police."

"Yes!" Sean also remembered this reminder.

The umbrella can undertake the training tasks of the police, but the American police is divided into federal police, state police, and county police, and they are not under each other. Reagan can only command the federal police.

The federal police has more than 30,000 people, and this order can bring Sean more than 20 million US dollars in income every year.

After all, the so-called training only needs a venue, some firearms and instructors, and the cost is very low. The biggest cost of this business is maintaining relationships.

There are more than 900,000 police officers in the United States.

In addition, Sean can also win a right to the umbrella from Reagan, legal permission to hold guns nationwide.

Leaving from the white house, although it was somewhat different from what was expected, it can be said that the plan was fully achieved.

Make money, it's all the same!

If all these missions can be opened, then Sean's financial crisis can be alleviated to a certain extent.

Yes, relief!

"Sean, you'd better find a way to quickly wash out that 1.5 billion, oh, now there are only 1.3 billion left, otherwise, you will go bankrupt!" Returning from Washington to Newark, the first sentence Shen Bi said when they met Sean can't do it anymore.

"No, can you stop scaring me with bankruptcy!" Xiao En pursed his lips and looked at Shen Bi helplessly, "Bankruptcy, bankruptcy, bankruptcy all day long!"

"What a hard-earned money I have!"

"Where's the money!"

"I've got some good news for you. Two projects in Los Angeles have already started construction, so it didn't take long to spend them like running water." Shen Bi had a smile on his face, but no matter how he looked at it, he seemed to be gloating, "In addition, There is no fluctuation in the international crude oil price, and there is a pool of stagnant water, so the Canadian Husky Energy’s turnaround is already the biggest contribution, and you can’t expect more.”

"In addition, your credit card business is indeed a genius-like idea, and it is running smoothly. Hundreds of stores have been opened, and tens of thousands of employees have been hired. It is great. The market value of Sean Bank is plummeting rapidly, and no one is optimistic about it. This kind of crazy expansion, and now, you don’t want to know about Sean’s monthly expenses, it’s an astronomical figure, $35.2 million!”

Xiao En stared at Shen Bi with wide eyes: You tell me that you know that I don't want to know! ?

"As for when the credit card business will be operational, I don't know when it will reach a balance of payments. It is estimated that in the next two years, we will need to invest at least 500 million US dollars!"

"Under your wise leadership, New Century Media, which has just reached a balance of payments, has carried out a new round of expansion, which has caused a great shock in the media industry. You have successfully established the name of media tycoon Sean in North America. Congratulations, but , maybe you don't look like you saw the schedule in Pete Chernin's newspaper."

"A dedicated national entertainment station, a dedicated national sports station, the contract with the four major sports leagues alone will put you out of business!"

Sean's face was completely darkened. There are many properties, but there are really few who can make him a lot of money.

At present, the main source of income is still security companies and gray income...

Even so, if it weren't for the huge sum of money from the big dog, Sean would still be fucking bankrupt!

The main reason is that all the businesses that Sean knows that can make a lot of money in a short period of time are all around 2000. Well, those business fools know it.

In the mid-to-late 1980s, Sean only knew about the east. At that time, foreign information could not enter the east, so he naturally did not understand.

He knew that oil was making money, and it was still the lowest ebb, otherwise he would have mobilized the power of the umbrella to grab a few oil fields in Africa.

Of course, he also knows that real estate in Hong Kong Island is very profitable, but Xiao En, who is three melons and two dates, doesn't like it either.

Sometimes Sean regrets, if he was reborn in the east, he would have long ago,

Crushed to death by the iron fist of socialism...

Sean's head was buzzing, but Shen Bi was still beeping.

"Oh, by the way, you still need to expand the scale of the umbrella. After thinking about it, at least 2,000 people will be needed in the short term this time, and many training grounds will be opened, and branches will be set up around the world. Tsk tsk, it's another big expense, really Beautiful!" Shen Bi gave a thumbs up in a strange way.

"Many times we say that some nouveau riche don't know how to spend money at all, and they won't spend money if you give them. I admire you most on this point!"

"Compared to spending money, you, Sean, are number one in the world!"

"Rockefeller doesn't dare to spend money like you!"

"Investing is really, bang, dare to rush as soon as you slap your head!"

"Ah!"

"Okay, shut up, I'll launder the money and give it to you!" Sean said bitterly.

"I'll give you one week!" Shen Bi sneered, "Are you sure?"

"Sure!"

"Really, what can you do?" Shen Bi looked disbelieving, 1.3 billion, not 130,000, how could it be cleaned up so quickly.

"Can I ask the King of Morocco to clean it up for me? The power at the national level can't be washed away by billions of dollars?" Sean tilted his head and gave Shen Bi a disdainful look, "I'm really short of knowledge!"

Shen Bi: (`ω)

Okay, find a country to help wash money, this... national level, this is not considered money washing.

What is that?

State funding?

your mother!

Things were very busy, Xiao En immediately contacted Morocco, and then asked Shen Bi to transfer the money, Shen Bi turned and left.

Sean comforted Le Huizhen, took another 2 hours to frantically sign a lot of documents from other companies, and then boarded the plane with the Australian white girl and headed straight to Los Angeles.

What is a thousand miles a day!

It was already the next morning when I arrived in Los Angeles. Fortunately, it was my sky palace, so I didn't delay my rest at all, and I was full of energy in the morning.

Well, Nicole Kidman's spirit is a little sluggish, and her body is full of marks left by Sean.

When he arrived at the company with Monroe, Katzenberg personally led someone to greet him at the door, and two employees held banners...

Sean pursed his lips, with his hands behind his back, and swayed up the stairs.

The matter was explained before, and when he arrived, he went directly to the screening room, and Sean wanted to watch the cut versions of "Red Fan District" and "Thelma \u0026 Louise".

The relevant people have all arrived. In theory, Sean should sit in the first row, but...

Sean sitting in the last row had Maggie Cheung on the left and Michelle Yeoh on the right, tsk tsk, it was pitch black, this is the rhythm that movies should have.

After the release of the two films, Sean is still satisfied on the whole, there are some changes, but the completion of the film is very complete, and the story is very clear.

In particular, the revised version of "Red Fan District" is no longer Jackie Chan's one-man show, and Michelle Yeoh played it very beautifully.

Back in the conference room, Sean finally explained the purpose of his visit, "There are a few shots that need to be re-shot."

As he spoke, he beckoned, and Monroe brought out two machines, one large and one small, one was a hand-held credit card machine, and the other was a tabletop code-scanning cash register. How convenient it will be afterwards.

After the explanation was over, Sean said: "All the scenes that need to be paid are retaken. Bars and hotels must use credit card machines. Fang Loon, your supermarket over there needs to be replaced with cash registers. Explain the function clearly, understand!"

"In order to cooperate with the credit card machine business, I have invested 500 million in the bank. I think you didn't ask, did you?"

Originally, the directors were all frowning, thinking how to prevaricate it, but when Xiao En mentioned that they had invested 500 million yuan, they immediately dismissed the idea.

At this time, if you dare to add trouble to Xiao En, you might want to die!

"But..." Ridley Scott looked at Sean with some embarrassment, "I have absolutely no objection, but in Thelma \u0026 Louise, the thief stole the protagonist's $6,000 is an important turning point. ...the entire plot will have to be reshot."

"Simple!" Xiao En said with a smile, waving his hand: "Add a plot, the hostess in the hotel is afraid of swiping the card to reveal her actions, so she can only use cash, and in the end it is stolen by a thief, and it is enough to regret it to the point of collapse."

"Using a credit card is a good way to prevent theft, what a great ad!"

"At that time, I will let the police accept an interview. The police will suggest that the government vigorously promote credit cards. This will play a key role in the police's tracking of fugitives. It will kill two birds with one stone!"

Ridley Scott raised a thumb high, and there was applause in the conference room. Sure enough, capitalists can come up with any kind of outrageous ideas in order to make money.

Advertising placement has existed in Hollywood for a long time, but there are too few of them that can be placed quietly and logically.

"Kazenberg, the company will also include these two products in several films, especially "Basic Instinct 2", such as street advertisements that flash in the camera, salesmen promoting credit card machines, etc., Let the screenwriters use their brains, if you do it well, you will be rewarded, if you do it well, you can feed the sharks!"

"Just tell them that and I'm sure they'll be motivated!"

The corner of Katzenberg's mouth twitched, the point is to feed the sharks, right!

It really is full of motivation!

"Oh, by the way, is New Century filming a TV series?"

The person in charge of New Century Media on the west coast immediately nodded. All of New Century Media's TV dramas were handed over to the film company to help produce, and he was also called by Sean to attend the meeting.

"Let them add it!" Sean will not miss any promotional opportunity, "I don't care what you think, even if it's a news program, there must be a shot of the credit card machine!"

The person in charge of the West Coast in the new century nodded quickly.

Finally, Sean looked at Katzenberg again, "As long as you think the movies that Hollywood is shooting are good, let them add credit card machine implants, and you can give money, and you can negotiate the price with them."

"I don't need celebrity advertisements, but in the last two years, all good movies and TV shows will have my credit card machine. I want to let people in the United States and even the world know about this product!"

This is the power of movies and TV shows. The effect of this thing in publicity is much better than that of pure advertising.

In the east, movies have been the most important propaganda position from the very beginning, so that movies will never have a bright future in the east!

Cough cough, change the subject...

After explaining the matter, Sean stopped paying attention. He is the boss, so there are naturally people below who are busy behind him.

The boss moved his mouth, and the eunuch broke his leg.

Ka Dazuo had a meal appointment, but Sean still wanted to go, and everything was almost ready.

Before leaving, Sean took Monroe to explain for a while that their previous promotion method was not good.

"Listen to me, I've already arranged for you the method of media promotion. The movie is just a few reshoots. It's not troublesome. It will appear on TV soon. However, in terms of local promotion, the promotion department Their brains are too stiff!" Sean put his arms around Monroe's shoulders and said, "Tell the promotion department, if their brains continue to be so stiff, it's better to dig out their brains and feed them to zombies!"

"Shit!"

"I have designed two ground push methods for you. Let's go ahead and arrange it. First, it is free to pre-install, try it for 3 months, and you can return it at any time. After 3 months, if you want to continue the trial, you will pay again."

"Second: Install the computer for free, increase the handling fee for swiping the card, and slowly earn money back."

"The two methods will take up more funds. I know this, but so much investment has already been invested, so it's not so bad."

"Genius promotion plan, which merchants can completely avoid the financial pressure caused by machine installation, this will have a decisive effect on the promotion of credit card machines!" Monroe waved his hand fiercely, and said excitedly: "Boss, although you are always very busy Unreliable, the investment behavior is always impulsive, always spending money indiscriminately and causing financial shortages make me more and more stressed, always threatening to send employees to feed the sharks, always..."

Sean's eyes gradually narrowed.

"However, at critical moments, you are still very trustworthy, boss."

"Maybe this is genius!"

Hahaha, Sean patted Monroe's shoulder hard, he was still very discerning, and his evaluation was very pertinent!

I just like people like Monroe who don't know how to flatter.

After the matter was dealt with, Sean did not stay longer in Los Angeles. After discussing the mysteries of life with Maggie Cheung and Michelle Yeoh at night, he boarded the plane and left early the next morning.

This time he is going abroad again, and it is not certain when he will come back. Sean, who has learned his lesson, is not going to continue to live that kind of Puritan life, and he must bring a woman with him when he leaves.

Maggie Cheung and Maggie Cheung needed to make up shots, and there was no time to go to publicity for a while. When Sean left, he brought two other women with him, his first girlfriend Diane Lane and Black Pearl Halle Berry.

Instead of going straight to Libya, Sean stopped in Washington for two days.

When Sean went to Los Angeles to handle official business, Weinberg was not idle. The former Secretary of Defense helped find some people.

Former US Diplomatic Security retiree.

Since Sean got the government personnel security service contract from Reagan, he will cooperate with DSS, so the actual operator is no better than the former DSS chief and retiree.

Do you want to give the old superior face?

"Sean, let me introduce you. This is the former head of the Diplomatic Security Bureau, Douglas Mick." Weinberg pointed to a man with half-white hair standing beside him and said, "Douglas works in the Diplomatic Security Bureau." He has been working in the Diplomatic Security Bureau for 35 years since its establishment, starting at the grassroots level, and no one knows the Diplomatic Security Bureau better than him!"

Sean immediately took a step forward with a smile, stretched out his hands and shook hands with Douglas Mick, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Douglas Mick, it is my honor to have your help."

Douglas Mick, an ordinary-looking old man, came to see Sean. He also wore ordinary casual clothes and smiled, just like a retired old man he met in the park. He could not be seen as an old man at all. The look of an agent.

"I'm also very honored." Douglas Mick said with a smile: "It is said that Mr. Sean has a flamboyant personality and is arrogant, but only when I actually saw you did I realize that the rumors are really unbelievable. Mr. Sean just compares Lively, and treat people more sincerely.”

"This will make some hypocrites uncomfortable, but this is enough to live comfortably and real enough!"

"As expected of being an agent, you have vision!" Sean laughed loudly, "Those guys obviously hate me to death, but every time I meet them, they still smile and look like they are very welcome. What a hypocrisy!"

Weinberg shook his head with a smile. He was obviously moody, but now that you are here, you are being sincere?

Sure enough, this job belongs to you!

Douglas Meek is a guy who is very good at getting close to people, and Sean has a good impression of him with just a few words.

After introducing Douglas Mick, Weinberg introduced another one, Sam Markus.

This one looked more serious, with a straight face, meticulous when shaking hands, and even the rhythm of speaking, "Mr. Xiao En, hello."

"Mr. Sam Markus is a true expert, who has participated in the formulation of all DSS training plans, security measures, hostage rescue tactics, crisis response methods, etc., and is the intermediate force for the perfection of the DSS system." Weinberg Continue to introduce.

Sean's eyes lit up. If Douglas Meek is the best manager, then Sam Markus is the core competitiveness.

The umbrella is absolutely no problem in terms of offense. From the training system to equipment to personnel, they are all elites in the military. But when it comes to defense, what about rescuing hostages...

Well, Umbrella is pretty good at taking out hostages first!

Now having Sam Markus is equivalent to making up for the last shortcoming of the umbrella. When taking on commercial security tasks in the future, we can say loudly that our security system is inherited from the US Diplomatic Security Service, which is the world's first level. !

Sean entertained the two of them well, but did not discuss the specific salary, because the personnel department has not yet been established, and the salary system has not been discussed yet, but this does not delay Sean's promise of a high salary.

As for these two, they actually value the job opportunity provided by Sean.

Because of the nature of the DSS, there was nothing lucrative during their employment. After retiring, because they had been exposed to too many secrets and knew the internal system of American security very well, this made the two of them strictly limited their job opportunities.

Large companies that are qualified to hire them do not need such a high-standard security system, and companies that need to improve their security services are not qualified to hire them.

This happens to many retirees from secret departments, including retired high-ranking officials from the military.

Therefore, when Weinberg invited him this time, the two readily agreed.

This belongs to adulterers and adulterers, hit it off!
