atypical hollywood life

One week is still fast, and this is the result of the high intermediary fees they paid, otherwise, given the current chaotic situation in New York, the time would be longer.

And Margaret herself didn't want to stay in New York, a city with a depressing atmosphere, and chose to stay away, so most of the rest of the work needed to be done by Luke himself.This includes interviewing qualified individuals found by headhunters.

To be honest, Margaret felt that Luke's career as an actor was a waste of his abilities. His achievements in business really far exceeded his achievements in his job, and no one knew about it. What to say.But now his ability has made Margaret a lot easier. It is a very happy thing to have a very strong partner. At least she doesn't have to worry about many things. Otherwise, according to the current situation Come on, she will probably spend a lot of energy on this.

Rarely, Margaret felt a little guilty, so she decided to treat Luke as well as possible in order to repay the other party's efforts in this partnership.

It's a pity that Luke didn't feel Margaret's brainwaves at all. Compared with the massage chair, he actually wanted to give Margaret a massage by himself.But just thinking about it, the current situation obviously hasn't reached that point between them, so they can only come slowly.Luke sighed depressingly, traveling around the world for [-] days sounds like a long time!Why does he feel that his pursuit is so rough?

However, Luke still listened to Margaret's suggestion, and the two went to the gym to relax on the massage chair together.In the past two days, I have been mentally tense and physically tired, and I really need to relieve my fatigue.

At around six o'clock in the afternoon, the sad Luke had to leave the "William and Lillian", thinking of pursuing a girl who had no idea about him and was still far away, Luke was a little faint It's sad.

"Is the order from the Ministry of Defense finished?" Alexander asked Howard while sitting behind a chair in the office.

"Partly, we got more than two-thirds of the orders for fighter jets. In addition, the DuPont family sent us a cooperation intention." Howard frowned and said.

Although they are the largest aircraft manufacturer in the country, Lockheed is also one of the sponsors of the Republican Party. Although the two are not in harmony, and they are robbing business in private, they are in a mess, but they still maintain a smile on the surface.The same is true for the order from the Ministry of Defense this time. Although the two parties are fighting fiercely, and even the negotiations are carried out in shifts, and Northpro and Raytheon also participated in it, the overall situation is still harmonious.Even without swallowing more orders, Boeing not only has an aircraft manufacturing business, it is also the number one arms manufacturer in the world.There are wars going on abroad, and similarly, these chaebols in the country are also breaking out in wars.

To some extent, the 911/[-] incident can be said to have changed the pattern of the world.Financial groups want to take advantage of this opportunity to rake in big money. Politicians hope to use this opportunity to spread the military power of the United States to the world, and by the way, make a fortune in the oil-rich Middle East and then contain the world's energy lifeline.

Basically speaking, it is not only chaotic outside, but also chaotic at home.Groups with a little ability want to get a share of this war on terrorism.And Hughes certainly can't lag behind.War wealth has been the best way to make a fortune since ancient times, and this era is no exception.Although the Hughes family has a big business, they are not without competitors. They must suppress those potential future opponents in this battle of interests and eliminate these dangers.This is the case in the financial market. Either you swallow me or I swallow you. It is no different from the life and death on the battlefield. The Hughes Group has swallowed countless companies over the years of development.

But the current situation is that there are too many people entering the game, which can be regarded as a melee, and individual combat is not suitable for the current situation.In this case, they must find allies and form a joint line of resistance in order to obtain the greatest benefits.

Prior to this, the Mann family had already given them a lot of help. Relying on the opponent's deep-rooted power in the US military and the achievements of the Hughes family in the Ministry of Defense for many years, they finally snatched the place under the circumstances of a pack of wolves. Biggest piece of cake.

But when it comes to arms, their advantage is not much.The United States is the world's largest arms exporter. There are too many domestic companies engaged in this industry, and those who can establish a relationship with the military are either themselves powerful enough or have a strong parent company as their backer.No matter how powerful the Hughes Group is, once it is united and besieged by others, it may not necessarily benefit much.It's not worth it if you go it alone.

"DuPont Group?" Alexander pondered for a moment.

Thinking of the old fox in the DuPont family, he couldn't help but frown. His father passed away too early, and his younger brother had no intention of taking part in the family business. It was really incomparable to the luxuriant DuPont family.Moreover, that old fox had gone through the baptism of World War II like his father, and had been in power in the family for so many years. Alexander really couldn't beat him.

"Who is the other party sending to negotiate?" Alexander asked Howard.

He has been so busy wrangling with the old foxes in Congress recently that he is exhausted and has no time to pay attention to these things.He really didn't know what the plans of the DuPont family were.

"Little Copeland DuPont." Howard gave a name.

"In addition, this gentleman expressed his willingness to have further exchanges with the Hughes family. There are many main members of the marriageable age in the DuPont family. After all, the current DuPont family is no longer the DuPont family in the first half of the [-]th century, and the number of internal marriages is already large. The rate has dropped. And he has two sons and a daughter, who are just in the golden age." Howard said mockingly.

He knew exactly what the other party was up to.Whether it's Steve's huge commercial value and the various patents he holds, or Margaret's financial wealth and her related technologies, this giant consortium is very tempted.Wealth has always been accumulated. Today, major consortiums no longer have the amazing opportunities and the possibility of plundering wealth like World War I and World War II.Merging other companies is a better way.

In addition, it is also a good way to marry various groups, which can deepen the cooperation between the two consortiums and expand their business scope.Of course, it would be even better if the partner of the marriage is also capable and wealthy, such as Steve, such as Margaret.

Alexander sneered, "It's really a good idea. Is it only the DuPont family who are smart?"

Old Copeland Dupont had been smart all his life, but he was held back by his own son. I don't know what he's thinking now?Alexander really wants to applaud Copeland Jr. Does he think Hughes is the same as DuPont?Compared with the DuPont family, which has more than 600 direct descendants, and is always intriguing, the direct line of the Hughes family starts from the old Howard Hughes. There are only a few people in total, and several people died. A Hughes is very precious, does this guy really expect their family to marry a DuPont or marry a Hughes?

Although Alexander always adopted a high-pressure policy against his second son, it was his own fault. He never planned to intervene in the children's marriage.Even Howard's wife didn't know that the other's family was actually the very powerful Man family in the military until the two decided to get married.He was startled at the time.He was ruthless to his enemies and indifferent to those who were not involved, but when it came to his own family, Alexander thought he couldn't do the same thing as old DuPont.

And the Hughes family doesn't need to exchange their members' marriages for benefits, they haven't fallen to that level yet!

"It's just an intention. I don't think it's easy to make Steve and Margaret interested in members of the DuPont family." Howard said with a smile.

God knows how Steve's mate selection criteria were developed, and the reference object was actually their great-grandmother Katharine Hepburn!As for Margaret, this girl's aesthetics doesn't seem to match the DuPont family's genetic factors. From his point of view, even Luke Hansen, who often has a date with her, is better than the DuPont family's children. More likely to attract the attention of little girls.

Also from a financial family, at least this boy is very capable and has a golden brain, which is not comparable to those of the rich N generation who generally live with trust funds.Although Margaret prefers blonde looks, she also attaches great importance to the brains of her partners.But what about DuPont?Howard shook his head. Although the current leader of the DuPont family is still the old DuPont, the helm of the group is not named DuPont. If the family is really able to produce a large number of people, this position will not be delegated to the outside.

Just like the Hughes family, the person in power is his father, and he has the final say on the group, and after his father retires, he has enough confidence to defeat those competitors and take over the position.Although the family is a little smaller, in terms of achievements, no matter who Hughes is, he can proudly pat his chest and say that he is better than those rice bugs in the DuPont family.

Howard doubts whether there is really someone in that huge family that can grab the attention of these two people. It seems difficult.

Alexander raised his forehead, patronizing and getting angry with those whimsical people, and completely forgot the wonderful aesthetics of Steve and Margaret.The latter is okay, it is not a eccentricity to like blond and blue-eyed high-smart businessmen, but it is a bit helpless to always prefer men with cold looks.But who said that all the people who grew up with her were this type?But the former...

Being a father feels a little exhausting.

When he asked Steve why Catherine was the reference standard for choosing a mate, his answer was that he likes this kind of woman who can slap his great-grandfather without any scruples!Alexander was almost stunned by this answer. Old Howard has always been Steve's idol. It can be said that a large part of the reason why he has embarked on the path of a mechanical master is because of the influence of this elder.

Now that such a sentence suddenly appeared, it scared a group of people!So the great-grandfather's halo is too strong, and the person who can knock out his two teeth is more worthy of worship?

Pinching the bridge of his nose, Alexander felt that he probably didn't have to worry about the DuPont family's seduction.Margaret's vision is very high, the members of the main branch of the other family really don't have the kind of appearance that can surprise people, and Steve, it is estimated that the DuPont family can't raise the type of Catherine Girl, they can't get it right.

"Then sit down and talk. At this moment, the sooner we form an alliance, the better it is for us, and the more benefits we can get." Alexander said coldly.
