Big stars who came out of football

Chapter 127: 126

[Booking] As the world's largest online booking website for accommodation around the world, it has always been coveted by China's rising tourism market. The economies of the world have also caused Ctrip to continue to erode their share in the international market.

Glenn Fogel, the CEO of [Booking.com], is very worried about this. At another regular company meeting, the rise of the cross-border travel business of [UK.com] made Glenn Fogel’s mind suddenly A flash of thought~
As a large-scale cross-border travel website, [Booking] was not born in the United States, but in the distant European country Netherlands.

[Booking], which went public in 1999, not only quickly got the high valuation he wanted, but also relied on this wave of high valuation to develop rapidly. From 1999 to 2000, [Booking] not only relied on his back The capital power of the company quickly merged more than 30 similar websites with him, and successfully developed his business to every corner of the world.

However, the bursting of the Internet bubble not only brought the business of [Booking.com] back to its original shape with a stick, but also forced the rapid expansion of its business to shrink sharply. It was at this time that [Ctrip] successfully held its business territory in Asia.

However, the Internet bubble did not make [Booking.com] slump. Relying on the huge capital power behind it, [Booking.com] not only quickly slimmed down itself, but also streamlined its own business again.

Booking.com, which once again went into battle lightly, not only made a strong showing in 2004, it was even stronger than before in 2004.

However, the turbulence of the capital market did not give [Booking] a chance to dominate.

Expedia, who was originally from Microsoft, also kept pace with him after several rounds of financing. Expedia not only snatched one-third of the global online travel market share in an instant with the help of Microsoft’s capital, but also successfully looted [Booking.com]’s business in the United States. empty.

Since then, in the past three years, there has not been a single company in the related field of online travel that plans to go public again.

Glenn Fogel isn't too bothered by this ticketing site that specializes in British sporting events~
What he cares about is the cross-border travel business of 【British Big Sale】. This company not only has a license for cross-border travel in China, but also successfully won the largest cross-border tour group in China so far~
At first, Glenn Fogel had always had an inexplicable fear and respect for this mysterious oriental country, but he never thought that this new boy not only punched the old master to death, but also succeeded in biting him in China. One bite of cake, Glenn Fogel couldn't even ignore this situation.

Glenn Fogel not only obtained the authorization from the board of directors to take down the company one week before the listing of [British Big Sale], Glenn Fogel also investigated that Goldman Sachs was helping the company's second largest Shareholder Claire Lee actively looking for a buyer~
Glenn Fogel is very happy to see this situation. After all, the founder of a company is about to leave. Isn't it easy for him to win the company.

"Boss, Claire Lee's next equity pledge is likely to be handed over to Caesars Tours. Not only has Caesars Tours recently received a large amount of inbound funds, they have also hired a third-party background investigation company specifically for [British Big Sale.com] .”

Glenn Fogel smiled relaxedly after hearing his subordinate's report: "Oh! It seems that the stocks in Mr. Claire Lee's hands may not be sold at once!"

"Yes, after all, although there are many shareholders in [British Big Sale Network], the remaining shareholders are focused on its ticketing business. Only Caesar Travel has the same purpose as ours. At the beginning of the listing, [British Big Sale Network] The stock price of [Selling Network] will definitely be artificially high. Chinese companies are generally conservative in the international market and will wait for a few weeks before making corporate mergers and acquisitions. This is some bad information I know so far."

Glenn Fogel took a document from his subordinates and threw it aside without even reading it: "The authorization from the board of directors is to use 3 million U.S. dollars to package and buy them separately [Dasale.com] For the cross-border travel business, you can go and find out the intention of the other party, if not, we will be the holding shareholder!"

Glenn Fogel was calm on the board, Claire Lee didn't know~
Claire, who looked deathly, has been in the bedroom for a day.

No matter what others call him, Claire is as unwilling to come out of it as a big girl.

On the contrary, Costa Mayor is like a detective, planning to find several places in Claire's house and prepare to install several cameras to monitor Claire.

As for Cristiano Ronaldo and Dennis Irvine, they chatted furtively about various things. Chen Shijun also found a bedroom by himself and fell asleep again with the help of the accompanying doctor.

A group of people didn't take what happened to Claire seriously at all. If the media were staring at this group of people, it is estimated that this group of people would not come to see Claire.

Claire was bored in the room alone and locked all the Mingqian collected in the cabinet first, and then Claire sat in front of the computer and typed on the screen with all her heart.

"Hiss~ There are so many details in Blast Drummer, I can't remember what to do!" Claire, with a lollipop in her mouth, tried hard to recall the content, and the printer beside her had already printed out a thick stack. documents, but the two documents were neatly organized and placed on the table.

One file is called [Black Swan] and the other is called [La La Land].

As for the rest of Claire's bedroom, there was no longer any place for other people to settle down. Finally, when the sun was about to set outside, Claire, who was slumped on the computer chair, stretched out.

Just when Claire was about to get up, a taxi stopped in front of his villa.

A man with blond hair and a pair of eyes also rushed up and got off the car. This man was obviously taken aback when he saw Claire's mansion, but soon he took care of the "overtaking mirror" on the side of the road His attire was ready to walk towards the door of Claire's villa.

Suddenly the dog barking inside the fence of the villa startled him, but fortunately a man with a camera in his hand saw him at the door, and just as the man was about to say hello, that man suddenly disappeared at the door of the villa.

Seeing this scene, John Lee Hancock scratched his hair in embarrassment. As a director, he suddenly felt that he was lucky because he received a call from Claire Lee last night. The phone call, and Claire Lee on the phone is very optimistic about the script he wrote himself, and is willing to pay for the filming of him.

For him, this kind of thing is simply luck. You have to know how difficult it is to find an investor for the movie in the past few months.

John Lee Hancock bought a direct flight from the UK to Hawaii immediately after being hung up by Claire Lee.

After Costa Mayor knew that the person in front of him was actually a director who had shot several films, Costa asked a little awkwardly: "Didn't you read the newspaper when you got off the plane today?"

Staring at Ronaldo not far away, John Lee Hancock, who was born in a daze, did not hear this sentence, and it was Costa Mayor who patted him on the back that made John Lee Hancock Come to yourself.

"Ah, oh, I didn't. I was afraid of wasting Mr. Claire's precious time, so I didn't watch it. Besides, it was already very late on the plane last night, so I fell asleep."

Costa shrugged helplessly when he heard John Lee Hancock's words and said, "Well, I'll try to tell him about it and see if he can recall it."

Claire's uncle put a thick stack of newspapers in his hand in front of John Lee Hancock with a look of gloating on his face, and said, "For the sake of you being a director living in England, I can send you a copy later." A ticket back to England."

But John Lee Hancock looked at the newspaper in his hand with a worried face. Not only did he know the cause and effect from the newspaper, but he also knew that the script he wrote himself might lead to complete bankruptcy!

You must know that in the United States, as long as the script for filming a movie involves the prototype of a real character, you need to pay this person a large amount of copyright fees. Although Michael Oher earns a lot as a football player, the rules are the rules.

John Lee Hancock not only spent $80 in licensing fees to perfect the script in his hand~
In order to attract investment, he also often goes to some high-level banquets. Claire Lee is the one he met at Tom Hardy's banquet!Although he did meet some people, he had to know that meeting those people he met at high-level banquets required cost, and the bills of thousands of dollars had already made him unable to make ends meet. In order for his script to start shooting, he went I found [Super Bowl] to sponsor this movie, but I never thought that he spent more than 2 US dollars without even meeting the person in charge of [Super Bowl]~
Thinking of this, John Lee Hancock couldn't help but feel a little wronged, and even a little uncomfortable.

When some particularly bad things keep lingering in your mind, if you can't get rid of these negative thoughts, you may keep sinking.

John Lee Hancock is in this state at this time, and even Dennis Irwin on the side heard the big boy crying, the little old man Dennis Irwin was a little at a loss, as for Ronaldo It is how far you can run.

Claire Lee looked at the script that John Lee Hancock put on the table and looked around in embarrassment, but Costa Mayor spread his hands helplessly.

At first, Claire Lee was a little embarrassed when she got the script, because she had never heard the name of the script this dog day.

【Michael Oher's Biography】Because this kind of movie is definitely not likely to be profitable from the perspective of the box office in the United States or in China. This kind of movie is either on the way to sprinting for Oscar or dying on the way to sprinting for Oscar. .

But when Claire was reading the first scene of the script, a movie name suddenly flashed in Claire's mind. Claire pulled out a sofa cushion from under her butt and threw it at John Lee Hancock.

"I invested! I see that you said you want 2000 million US dollars, and I will give you an additional 500 million! Is there any problem if I want this movie to be released in theaters at the end of this year?"

John Lee Hancock looked at Claire with tears in his eyes, and he didn't even notice that the snot flowed into his mouth.

"I voted!"

"Are you crazy?"

"He's not crazy! I'll prove the value of my movie!" John Lee Hancock glared at Costa Mayor and then worshiped Claire like a devout Christian, but okay After Claire disliked his snot, she walked back upstairs.

Costa Mayor followed Claire's ass and prepared to persuade him again. He never thought that Costa would be reprimanded by Claire before he went upstairs: "I'm not impulsive, don't disturb my creation!"

Costa Mayor, who had a gloomy face, just came downstairs when he saw Dennis Irwin approaching him furtively: "Since when did Claire become so rich?"

"Why? Let me tell you, you'd better hide those political three-legged cats you just learned! It's impossible for my artist to donate to you politically!"

"That's my nephew!"

"He's my artist!"

Not far away, after pouring himself a cup of green tea, Ronaldo sat down next to John Lee Hancock with a leisurely expression and prepared to read his script, but he never thought of John Lee Hancock Ke directly put the script into his purse: "Although I like you playing football very much, my current script is expected to hit the Oscar script. For Mr. Claire's investment, I have to be responsible to him."

Ronaldo shook his head helplessly when he saw John Lee Hancock bewildered.

John Lee Hancock didn't leave until the evening, when Costa Mayor hinted to him that Claire just drank too much last night and hadn't sobered up, John Lee Hancock was like a monk Sitting motionless on the sofa with eyes closed.

Chen Shijun, who just got up, couldn't help laughing when he saw this scene, and Dennis Irvine also moved towards Chen Shijun like a drunk man who had drunk too much after seeing Chen Shijun coming out.

Just when Dennis Irvine was about to say something to Chen Shijun, Chen Shijun said directly: "For Claire's sake, I can invest in your party, but you have to know that I am With the brand of the American Democratic Party, if you feel that taking my money will not arouse hostility from others, I will sign a check for you."

Dennis Irvine's mouth just opened and closed instantly~
