Big stars who came out of football

Chapter 133 132: Variable [Four in One]

Two consecutive days of busy work not only brought back the relationship between Claire and Du Juan~
And because of Claire's sneaky performance, Du Juan rewarded him with a sweet kiss when she was leaving~
Jessica also left Hawaii with a flushed face on Dujuan's next flight because of the company's recall.

Claire, who was limp on the bed, fell asleep before talking to Lucy. Lucy Peard glanced at the snoring Claire and walked downstairs with a dissatisfied expression~
Instead, Costa Mayor and Delia sat on the sofa in the living room discussing Claire's next itinerary.

Lucy, holding a coconut in her hand, sat angrily opposite Costa, staring at her big eyes and sucking the coconut juice in the coconut.

Seeing Lucy's expression, Delia also regretted it. After all, even she was a little envious of her client's good luck.

"Lucy, aren't you busy? Didn't you go to work as a host on Fox TV?"

When Lucy heard Costa's words, her originally angry face was instantly filled with sorrow: "No, I just went to Fox Sports Channel to report, but I haven't been assigned a specific program yet."

When Costa heard what Lucy said, Costa immediately became interested: "Didn't I say at the beginning that you would be in charge of the British sports market?"

Lucy said regretfully, "It was originally arranged like this at the beginning."

“But Fox TV doesn’t have the rights to broadcast the Premier League!”

"I feel like I might lose my job next season!" After saying this, Lucy suddenly felt that the coconut juice in her hand was no longer fragrant.

When Costa heard Lucy's words, he couldn't help muttering in his heart~
Because both Sky TV and Fox TV are affiliated to News Corporation, normally speaking, if Lucy was poached by Fox TV, based on Lucy's popularity in the Premier League, Fox TV could make appropriate decisions. Concession to adjust.

But through Lucy's feedback, Costa found some problems. There must be someone stumbling Lucy, but Lucy, a big-chested and brainless person, doesn't understand these things.

Thinking of this, Costa couldn't help but pull out an [Interview Invitation Letter] from his computer. Delia, who was on the side, couldn't help but feel a little dizzy when she saw this [Interview Invitation Letter], because this invitation is " An interview invitation letter specially sent to Claire by Fox News Network.

But because of Warner Records and USA Today, Claire did not accept the invitation.

Costa didn't want to give up this interview. You must know that the other party was very sincere in this interview. Not only did he contribute 17 US dollars of hard work, but he also gave him a very generous resource package.

But I don’t know what Claire thinks. Claire just won’t accept the interview!

Normally speaking, an exclusive interview with a star does not involve cash transactions, etc. Generally, when some large media come to interview you, these big stars can’t wait to entertain them with delicious food~
But Claire didn't, not only rarely showed his face in front of the media, he didn't even set up his own personal fan station.

Although Claire's size has now reached the status of a quasi-first-line star, but because Claire is unwilling to be exposed in front of the media, recently, except for Claire's songs, which can be seen on the streets and alleys, Claire is basically not seen.

At the beginning, when Claire was like this, Costa thought it was a good sign, but as Claire basically cut off publicity channels such as variety shows, interviews, etc., these things almost worried Costa to death.

Just the appearance of Lucy is an opportunity, and Costa wants to use Lucy to help him hint Claire to try to accept capital.

"This is an invitation letter from Fox News, why don't you give this invitation letter to Claire."

"As long as you can get Claire to come forward to accept the other party's interview, after Claire's interview is over."

"I will help you to coordinate with the other party's senior management to see what method can be used to help you find an interview channel that suits you as quickly as possible."

Lucy looked at Costa who was facing him suspiciously and asked, "You are Claire's agent! Wouldn't it be more appropriate for you to tell him?"

"Didn't he not accept it!"

Seeing Costa's annoyed look, Lucy hesitated for a while. In fact, she planned to go to Dennis Irvine at first, but after Dennis became a city councilor in Anklem, Lucy gradually became And put out that thought.

Because politics and economics cannot be gathered together, if someone with malicious intentions takes pictures, not only may this person's position be questioned, but he will also be under considerable pressure.

But Lucy doesn't want to lose her career just like that. You have to know that if she really takes a break for a season, who will know her after one season!
"How about I try it?"

"Okay! Believe me! Even if it doesn't work, I'll give up my old face and let you go to [USA Today] as the special host of their sports channel!"

Lucy glanced at Costa suspiciously, then walked up to the second floor~
After seeing Lucy leave, Delia murmured in a low voice: "That's just for Claire to go to the United States to record his Chapter 1 album. Otherwise, after Claire's huge sum of money arrives, our work will be completed." It's even more difficult!"

As soon as Costa heard what Delia said, the scripts written by Claire suddenly flashed in Costa's mind, and Costa suddenly felt a sense of tension.

Because Claire's creative talent is really high, if Claire can really continue writing scripts like this, plus the cash in his hand, maybe Claire will become a star in the future.

But when Lucy upstairs saw that Claire was still soundly asleep, Lucy immediately lifted Claire's quilt: "Don't sleep! I'm going to lose my job, you still sleep!"

But Claire still closed her eyes and muttered a few words~
Seeing this scene, Lucy climbed onto the bed angrily and grabbed Claire's face to try to wake him up, but she didn't know if it was because Claire was too tired last night. He hugged Lucy who was crawling on the bed.

Lucy, who was held in Claire's arms, was dumbfounded for a long time, and Claire's man's breath kept drilling into Lucy's nostrils.

Just when Lucy wanted to push away Claire's arm holding him, Claire groaned twice and directly slipped his big palm through Lucy's loose blouse.

The heat on her chest made Lucy feel hot and weak all over~
Lucy, who had originally planned to come over to discuss things with Claire, also went blank for a moment. Lucy just stared at the white ceiling with her big eyes, wondering what she was thinking~
As time went by, Lucy suddenly noticed something unusual inside the quilt, but Claire did not open her eyes. Instead, she adjusted her position, making Lucy even more uncomfortable.
-
Delia downstairs saw that two hours had passed and Lucy hadn't come out of Claire's room. Delia wanted to get up to see how things were progressing, but Costa frowned. He glanced at Delia with an eyebrow and said, "No need to go, we will come over tomorrow, and the rest will be left to our beautiful Miss Lucy."

"That"

"Then what, hurry up and prepare for Claire's concert tour in August this year! At that time, it is estimated that his team's affairs have not been settled. We took the opportunity to make Claire settle down. Since he said that he will make an appearance in August, then Let's just listen to him!" After speaking, Costa sorted out a stack of documents from his computer and handed them to Delia, saying, "This is the recent Premier League team. If there is no team that wants to use Claire as a core player, we can operate easily, and I will personally discuss the rest with Manchester United the day after tomorrow."

"it is good!"

Before leaving, Delia glanced at Clare's bedroom, and found that the bedroom door was not only closed, but there was no movement at all, as if Lucy had disappeared.
-
While Claire was still indulging in the gentleness, Li Meiqi did a very bad thing on the set of "Die Hard 4".

The leading actor in the movie, Bruce Willis, was kicked in the head by Li Meiqi because of a martial arts scene with her. Originally, the filming had to be temporarily suspended because the movie was in a hurry.

The actor Justin Lang who played the role of "White Hat Hacker" in "Die Hard 4" gave Li Meiqi a thumbs up with a look of surprise.

"Forget it! You're going to eat me without looking into the director's eyes! I guess Hollywood will ask me to play martial arts roles in a lower number in the future." Li Meiqi was wearing a tight leather jacket and randomly found a place on the set. Just sat on it.

Justin Lang glanced at the studio not far away and read the newspaper with a bored face. When Justin Lang saw a piece of news, Justin Lang said enviously: "You said that everyone is entertaining People in the ring, they not only became a billionaire, but also invested in two movies, look at how hard we are working on the set, it's really pissing off!"

When Li Meiqi heard this sentence, she poked her head over in surprise. When Li Meiqi saw that the face was a man playing football on the court, Li Meiqi said "huh" in surprise.

"You know him? Yes! I remembered, you seem to be filming in England when you were filming Mission: Impossible. Do you know him? You are both Asian."

Li Meiqi did not deny it when she heard Justin Lang: "He is my neighbor! Why is he so rich? He even invested in movies?"

"Your neighbor! fxxk! Then I advise you to hug his thigh when your role is over! A Chinese company spent 1.4 million US dollars to acquire his shares in [Damaai], his listed company Not only did it become a hot Chinese stock overnight, it also made [Booking] the second largest shareholder of the company!"

Li Meiqi snatched the newspaper in his hand with surprise when she heard what Justin Lang said. Li Meiqi didn't see anything about it.

"Wall Street Journal! Yesterday's headlines!" Justin Long took a newspaper from his butt and handed it to Li Meiqi. Li Meiqi stared at her big eyes and looked at yesterday's news headlines in surprise.

Not only did the news say that Claire Lee had a vague break with Manchester United, she even did not participate in the Champions League game.

There are even rumors that the new billionaire plans to spend his own money to redeem himself. Although Li Meiqi didn't know that Claire had a company that was about to go public, Claire's stock trading account had a lot of money.

Li Meiqi was envious at first, but she never imagined that Claire has not only become a billionaire on paper, but also invested in two movies!

The names of the movies are very special. One is called [Weakness] and the other is called [Burst Drummer]. Although the names are very special, the two directors are from decent colleges. Going with Oscar!
After reading the newspaper, Li Meiqi muttered in a low voice: "Tsk, you have a lot of ambition!"

Just when Li Meiqi was distracted, the song "some just like is" was played on the set~
Justin Lang said enviously: "But don't tell me, this kid's song is really good. I heard that the copyright fee of this song alone made Warner Records stand on stage again!"

Li Meiqi looked seriously at the [Wall Street Journal], the reporter interviewed Damien Chazelle, the director, and answered.

【Just when all of you are concerned about whether Mr. Li is a billionaire or not】

[Mr. Li is writing scripts while going to school to enrich his life]

[Although I only received permission to film one script, I cannot deny Mr. Li’s creative talent. I have also read several other scripts he wrote, and they are all wonderful. All I want to do now is to shoot three scripts as soon as possible. I will finish filming the film in my hands within this month. I just want to prove that Mr. Claire Lee is not mistaken! 】

"The rest of the scripts? Does that mean Claire still has creative talent?" When Li Meiqi saw this sentence, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl slightly, but when Li Meiqi thought of Claire Li's healthy body, Her face couldn't help but blush.
-
Although Lucy didn't leave~
But Lucy hasn't eaten at the same table with Claire for several days.

Every time Claire finishes eating, Lucy sneaks out from the second floor to eat. After eating, Lucy still hums a song and cleans up Claire's "battlefield".

Claire also expressed helplessness about this, who made Lucy climb on the bed like Jung Soo-yeon.

Although the two people are different in size, did he fall asleep?

Understandable!

Thinking of this, Claire Lee hummed a song in the car with a relaxed look on her face. The driver Welch couldn't help but feel a little happy when he saw his boss's appearance, because he finally had a house of his own in Hawaii, and His wife and children are going to Hawaii tomorrow.

It is a good thing to know that moving from Arizona to Hawaii is a good thing, although letting his wife do some tourist business in Honolulu can support the family, not to mention that he also followed a billionaire who made a big deal.

In America you may not be able to do too many things if you are a star, but if you are a billionaire, there are too many things you can do.

Because today his boss was once again invited to a high-end dinner. Although his boss always showed a very disliked expression on his face, Claire would sing his own songs every time he was happy.

"Okay! Welch just waits for me at the door. I'll go to the teacher's house for a quick lunch, so please wait for me!" Claire straightened his coat and prepared to face Walking to the house of his teacher Robert Lighthey.

I have to say that his teacher really helped him a lot. Not only did he help him move his only company [Claire Investment] to Hawaii, but he also helped Claire get the tax-free quota for this year, as long as his movie starts shooting this year And if he registers in Hawaii, then he can enjoy a 2% tax deduction for the two films he invested in.

Although 1.6% does not seem like a lot, you must know that taxes on movies in the United States are very high.

If the box office of a movie is calculated at 100%, then 50%-55% of the box office profits need to be taken away by theaters. The US film special fund charges 5%, film tax 3.3%, and the cumulative income of various associations reaches 1 %, the final income in the hands of investors may be about 35% left!
This 1.6% can at least help Claire save several million dollars, thinking of this, Claire couldn't help but be happier.

Robert Lighthey's house in Hawaii doesn't look very big, but the location is very good. The University of Hawaii is in front of it. Not far away, you can see not only the beach but also the continuous coconut grove.

After entering the door, Claire was led by the nanny to the living room, but as soon as she entered the living room, several people were already sitting at the dining table.

When Robert Lighthi saw Claire come in, he hugged him enthusiastically and quickly introduced to the other two people: "Come on! Claire Lee, my favorite student at the University of Hawaii, is also my target for the Japanese Internet business. The key to the means of control."

Claire Lee followed the voice and looked towards the two people. One of them was a woman, but she seemed to have a great temperament. The other person looked very serious, and there was a trace of scrutiny in her eyes. Jean Claire actually felt a little chill in her back.

Seeing the look in his old friend's eyes, Robert Lighthey ​​hurriedly explained: "Haha, little John. Don't be like this. Although he is an Englishman, every penny he earns is clean!"

The woman on the side also smiled, but she didn't say much.

The man named Little John also smiled, but the smile was not good-looking: "Professional habits! You know, I put all my energy into those troublesome cases every day, and I always look at them like this Others, even my son, are a little afraid of me."

"You are still the same as you were at Harvard University. You have not changed at all. You have to learn more from me and find a career that suits you. Didn't you see that I can help you solve such a problem when I was a teacher? Is it a big problem?"

The woman who hadn't spoken all this time also said with a smile on her face: "That's right! If it weren't for the help of the two of you, my idea of ​​expanding employment in Hawaii might have come to an end! Speaking of which, I would also like to thank you, the new billionaire. It's the millionaire~"

The woman nodded at Claire with a smile on her face after she finished speaking.

Claire Lee looked at the three people present with a bewildered face like an outsider. Although he was very bewildered at first, he knew from the words of his teacher that the two people present were not ordinary~
Robert Lighthey ​​remembered the existence of Claire Lee after chatting with the two of them for a long time, and hurriedly introduced him: "Hahaha, I haven't seen Little John for a long time, hahaha."

"This is John Roberts Jr., the 17th Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court!"

"This is Ms. Linda Linge, the first female governor of our state of Hawaii. Claire, our governor, is very interested in you after learning that you are a billionaire. You should get in touch more."

Claire Lee was shocked by the identities of the two bigwigs on the table for a moment, but as the three bigwigs chatted, he finally knew the relationship between the justice, the governor and his teacher.

The three people here are all beneficiaries of the Reagan administration, but these three people have their own development due to various reasons, and because Robert Lighthizer's status was higher than John Roberts Jr. at that time, John Roberts Jr. There is also the grace of supporting and supporting Little John.

When Claire thought it was a simple dinner with John Roberts Jr., Claire didn't think that this cheap teacher had such a big background.

But as we chatted in the originally warm situation, things gradually went astray.

"Actually, we are not as relaxed as the entrepreneur next to me when it comes to the impact of the Internet on people's lives. After all, he has successfully established a company with a market value of 30 billion US dollars from the harsh political environment in the UK." Little John Roberts pointed to Clare with a fork in his hand and said.

Robert Lighthizer smiled and patted Claire Lee on the shoulder and encouraged: "Tell our Mr. Justice and the beautiful Miss Governor about the Internet's control over the real economy!"

After hearing the words of his cheap teacher, Claire took a deep breath, tried to calm his own heartbeat and said: "One of the benefits of the rapidly rising economy is that it changes the way people communicate and live habits!"

"But there are also disadvantages, that is, there are endless policy gaps, such as Facebook, which has just rushed out of Silicon Valley. People can use it to sell marijuana and sell low-quality beer online. The difficulty of judicial management is inevitable. I think it is necessary to These companies got involved in the early stage, if they can’t get involved, they have to find ways to make them belong to your jurisdiction!”

"As for the B2B model I mentioned earlier, the most important part is the supply chain. As long as Hawaii's supply chain and transportation system are perfect, I think this will definitely drive a large number of small and medium-sized enterprises to choose to settle in Hawaii."

"And what Hawaii needs to do is to build a large-scale industrial park locally. On the one hand, it will give policies, and on the other hand, it will strengthen the control of these small and medium-sized enterprises."

But John Roberts Jr. asked very seriously: "Since it is to drive the local economy, who is the leader of this matter?"

"It's very simple. Referring to Fannie Mae's model, the state fund department funded the establishment. There are a lot of such talents in Silicon Valley. Once the framework is established, a large number of branches will be established in various places to invite small and medium-sized enterprises to settle in. As for the most important thing The customer base can be found in China, after all, the most important processing factories and labor costs are now there. If you make good use of all this, you can enter the US Internet trade market!"

Burt Lighthizer seemed to have a natural interest in Japan, so he interrupted Claire Lee and asked, "What about Japan!"

Clare spread her hands and replied calmly: "Then the main customer base will start from Japan. It's a very simple reason, just like Yahoo, Japan station, Europe station, America station and so on!"

Governor Linda Linge, who finally did not speak for a long time, asked: "So how much money do you need to do these things?"

Claire frowned and thought about it seriously: "Maybe 10 billion US dollars. This kind of funding is uncertain. Land, buildings, manpower, etc. all need money."

Burt Lighthizer interrupted Claire Lee again and said: "The University of Hawaii is a good choice. You can contribute a small amount of funds to sponsor the University of Hawaii, and the University of Hawaii will provide people and places. This can also be regarded as your education. What a great effort from the side!”

As soon as Claire heard what the boss said, she was awesome. She didn't need to consider the University of Hawaii's suggestion at all, and said these words directly in a commanding tone.

But Governor Linda Ringer, who was opposite, said with an embarrassed face: "The school still needs to ask you to communicate, after all, I am."

Linda Linge didn't finish her sentence, but Claire guessed it somewhat, because the president of the University of Hawaii is a Democrat, and it is estimated that most of them would not listen to him.

"it is good!"

John Roberts Jr., who had been listening to everyone, finally said something that made Claire's heart beat faster: "I will try my best to help you while the regulations remain fair."

Although it is a "quantitative term" that cannot determine the number, you must know that this is the federal law of the United States, so many things have been decided after a simple meeting.

Claire couldn't help muttering in her heart~
Just when Claire was distracted, his teacher Robert Lighthizer slapped Claire on the shoulder again and said: "Then how about we tentatively decide on Claire as the person in charge of this project? Of course we don't care about this. It will let you do it for nothing, I believe that our governor, Ms. Linda Ringer, can definitely help you get some subsidies or salaries from the state fund!"

At the end of the dinner, Claire Lee walked out of his cheap teacher's house in a daze with 2 business cards in his pocket.

When he got home, Claire felt in a daze, because he became the CEO of [Hawaii Trade Network] in a daze.

Although I don't know the prospect of the project, just look at the investors behind him!
Hawaii State Fund, University of Hawaii, Skadden Law Firm, one of the world's top ten law firms, served as legal advisors, and Harvard University Foundation.

Until Claire came home, Claire was thinking about the capital behind everyone, thinking that Claire finally fell asleep at three o'clock in the morning, but a figure quietly lurked in from the door of Claire's bedroom in the middle of the night.
-
Maggie Pate, who was the opposite of Claire's fate, has been busy in his office for the next day.

All of this is because New Century Financial Corporation, the second largest subprime mortgage company in the United States, declared bankruptcy in April!
This news was like a "bolt from the blue", disrupting all of Maggie Pater's plans. As the head of the investment office of Goldman Sachs Investment, the UK office, not only did she receive many inquiries from investors on this day, she even There are also some timid investors who have already decided to withdraw their funds and are ready to redeem their investments.

If it was just a small problem, Maggie Pate wouldn't be too anxious. The most important thing was that British Northern Rock Bank originally planned to acquire the secondary securities in their hands, but it broke the contract temporarily!

Not only did this disrupt all his plans, even someone from the Goldman Sachs investment bank headquarters flew overnight to deal with this matter.

As one of the five largest mortgage banks in the UK, Northern Rock Bank has always been Maggie Pater's stable partner in the UK. In the first half of 2007, the amount of new mortgage loans ranked first in the UK, with about 150 million depositors, of which 80 Tens of thousands of homebuyers are offered mortgages, and depositors have around £240bn in deposits with Northern Rock.

Although these volumes may not seem very large, the main business of this bank is to rely on borrowing from other banks and selling mortgage securities in the financial market to raise funds.

Originally, the transaction between Maggie Pate and the British Northern Rock Bank was a simple sale of subprime mortgage securities, but I never thought that the British Northern Rock Bank would risk being sued by Goldman Sachs for default!
In order to prove his ability to the company, Maggie Pate not only did not even enter the door of the other company's company early the next morning, but was also kicked out by the other party.

In order to solve this dilemma, Maggie Pate directly sent a text message to the credit manager of Northern Rock Bank [I hope that if there is any change, we can have a chat. If you want to continue like this, I don’t rule out solving it through judicial channels. this problem. 】

Maggie Pete, who was sitting in the car, waited for half an hour not only did not wait for the other party's reply, but even blocked the phone call for him.

Just when Maggie Pate was at a loss what to do, his cell phone suddenly rang: "Where are you?"

"I'm at the door of Northern Rock Bank. Have you come to London?"

"Well, I have already negotiated with Lehman Brothers, and I will pay the other party 4.3% of each profit."

"Boss, 4.3% may even connect with the company"

The other party didn't seem to intend to give Maggie Pate a chance to explain, and said directly and coolly: "Okay! You can talk about it when you go back to the company!"

　Alright, I have paid off the chapters I owed you all~
　　Hahahaha, thank you for your support~
