Chapter 188 Kate and her present

Since Roland met the big bald head in the summer of 1991, he has discovered that this guy is actually a chicken thief.

You know, except for the conversation after the premiere of "Terminator 2", at other times, the two have no apparent intersection at all.

It doesn't matter whether it's through the truck driver who plucked a bear's hair from the bank owned by the big bald man, or making "Home Alone 2" into an advertising film, or "Spider-Man" project shooting, all of these All of this benefited the big bald man a lot, but the reason why Roland really had the other party's private number was actually "The Shawshank Redemption" being publicly listed.

From the moment Roland and the big bald head met, he who took the initiative to swallow Marvel's "garbage copyright" meant to board the other party's thief ship, but the problem is, no matter how much money he makes these guys, the other party will won't care.

They have banks and securities companies in their hands, and there are too many ways to make money in different ways.

Finding Roland to work is nothing more than perfecting the entire process. If you are someone else, the process remains the same, and the money you earn is actually not much different. In this case, Roland in the eyes of the bald man is just a savvy person who can work for a long time. It's just the tool people use.

But this is also natural. Roland seems to be helping them solve their problems, but more often, he is just taking advantage of their east wind to develop vigorously. Roland also benefits from the big bald head. This is a one-shot deal. Why should I look at you more?

And "The Shawshank Redemption" is more like a vote of honor, when they most need to stabilize the situation, they take the initiative to play the king bomb.

Those guys know that if Roland really just wants to make money, he can just distribute the video tapes directly. There is no need to show the movie for free at all, and there is no need to give up the profits for five years and directly give all the proceeds of the cable TV network to the media. group.

Since Roland is so powerful, if they keep silent, then an influential guy like Roland will definitely be pulled away by his competitors. In this way, it becomes natural to accept it.

From the summer of 1991 to the end of 1995, it took Roland four and a half consecutive years to open this door.

It is not difficult to say it is difficult; it is tiring to say...

Hiss!

Doesn't seem too tired?

After all, he bought "The Shawshank Redemption" alive.

Issued by Sony.

In his previous life, he didn't understand why this movie became such a hit, but in this life, he's still lucky...

However, regardless of whether it is luck or shit, he is the one who benefits.

This also made him naturally smile happily when standing in front of the mirror.

...

"What are you thinking? Are you so happy?" While smoothing Roland's collar with her hands, and picking up ties of different colors to paint one by one, Kate glanced up, "I think all black suits you, Just choose the black one."

"Okay, I didn't like wearing ties very much before, you can decide on the color." Roland responded with a smile, and at the same time took his eyes back from the mirror. With an excuse, I dealt with it.

"I was thinking, what kind of eyes would those old men look at you when you appeared tonight?"

"Oh..." The corners of Kate's mouth curled up, and a smile appeared on her face. Although she was secretly happy, she didn't admit it, "Those old men have seen many beauties, and I'm so ordinary and fat, how could I attract their attention? "

"On the contrary, you will definitely attract the eyes of countless opposite sexes. At that time, I will be killed by their eyes."

Deliberately spent half a year eating, drinking and having fun, and now Kate has fully met the truck driver's Fengyun requirements.

Uh... To be honest, Roland used to think that the Bone Demon was the real beauty, but now...

How can a guy with shoulders and ribs that seem to be wearing armor be comfortable?

Does it hurt to sit on your lap?

During the conversation, Kate, who had finished tying the tie, took out the coat that was prepared in the closet, and while Roland reached into it, he didn't stop talking, denying: "Oh, then you made a mistake, those skinny and monkeys The same guy, that's really boring, your current figure is in line with all male fantasies, if someone is not attracted, then there must be something wrong with them."

"Really? Satisfy your fantasy?" While helping Roland put on his coat, Kate also put her hand on Roland's shoulder.

Hearing the intentionally distorted question and looking at the two in the mirror, Roland didn't hesitate, turned his body around, put his hands on the other's waist naturally, and said with a smile: "Of course, I'm not obsessed with you now Is it?"

Kate, with a smile on her cheek, gave Roland an angry look, tiptoed and pecked his lips lightly, and immediately turned around and got into the bathroom, leaving only one sentence, "Wait for me, at most an hour..."

...

Since it is a private gathering among relatives and friends, and some people will bring their families, Roland, you can't go alone, right?

If it was before, Roland would definitely ask David to accompany him there, but now...

If there are ready-made family members, why not bring them?

David and Roland went there together, who is the master?

David is Roland's guardian, and Roland is the driving force behind everything. With such a delicate relationship, there is no distinction between priorities! And if Kate is taken, the target of those people is only him...

Besides, letting Kate accompany me actually has another advantage—

When Kate appeared in front of Roland wearing a Burberry satin light gray tea break dress, wearing the same color lace-up high-heeled shoes of the same brand, wearing a Tiffany rose gold buckle necklace, and wearing platinum inlaid single diamond earrings, her In addition to carrying a pure black Louis Vuitton handbag, he also held a pre-selected gift.

Generally...well, under all circumstances, when you are invited to dinner in America, you have to bring a souvenir.

In his previous life, Roland was also a social person. He gave cigarettes and alcohol to the counselor, asked the other party to sign his leave form, let him go out to film, and gave the assistant director cigarettes and alcohol to accompany the big health care. I hope the other party can be beautiful in front of the director. In a few words, he has done all these things before. Although he is familiar with the process, the Nine-Five Lord, Flying Moutai, and Iron Box Panda that he used in his previous life...

These things are useless now!

What's more, in the first six years of his life, he went to Spielberg's for dinner, and bringing a bunch of game cassettes to him was more effective than giving other things, but when he went to the driver's house for dinner, he would be fine if he didn't pull out the tire valve core of the other party's car. It's already very face-saving.

So what do you give the richest one percent in America?

He doesn't know either!

Not only that, David Olsen, who just entered the Forbes Global Rich List, actually doesn't know what the old money on Wall Street wants, but it doesn't matter, Kate, who has seen the world, knows it better than him.

That's right, after receiving the invitation from the big bald head, Roland handed over the preparations for the party to the other party.

And now, of course, it's time to review the selections.

But when he opened the bag handed over by the other party and took a look, the two wooden box tops that got into his eyes made his eyes dull.

"Is this... Lafite?"

It's no wonder that Roland would think so, who told him that in his previous life, he had seen countless times the routine of using Lafite to act as a beep, especially Lafite in 1982, and this thing also had a cork to soak in wine, the more he drank it, the more he drank it. More stalks.

No way, who let the son of death break the cork inside the bottle when it was opened?

But after listening to Roland's inquiry, Kate, who handed him the gift, was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and shook her head and said, "No, no, it's not Lafite, the two bottles I brought you are both 'Bollinger R.D. .1975'."

"Bollinger R.D.?" Hearing the familiar name, Roland's eyes became a little blurred. After thinking for a few seconds, he finally realized that this is the champagne that James Bond used to seduce girls in "007". ?

Send this thing out?

Wouldn’t that be an advertisement?

Seeing that Roland was a little hard to understand, Kate, who had been with him for half a year and knew the guy's knowledge reserve very well, raised her hand and raised her hair, and explained: "Bollinger is a champagne brand used by the British royal family. It was produced in Queen Victoria's time. Titled, R.D. is a blend, obtained by blending Pinot Noir and Chardonnay."

“1975 is currently recognized as a vintage with a better taste in the market, even our side is top-notch.”

"If you don't know what to give to a Hollywood party, then I'll get Lafite, but—"

"The old money can't afford anything, what they collect, isn't it still an identity?"

oh..

Hearing what Kate said, Roland immediately understood.

Since the rich can afford everything, give them BIGGOR.

The brand certified by the royal family is obviously the most error-prone thing. Although it is a symbol now, the recognition of a century-old heritage is already very high-end, at least - the history of the founding of America is only more than 200 years.

Looking down at the suit, Kate's dress belongs to Burberry. If Roland just thought that the other party liked this brand, now he understands why the other party chose this way.

Because Burberry is also a brand used by the British royal family, it was awarded a badge by the prince.

To be honest, when he met Kate at the beginning of the year, Roland did associate with Kate with the mentality of grabbing Bai Yueguang. After knowing the other party's relationship, he also had snobbish thoughts, but now, when the other party really helps him After preparing properly, the feeling of comfort is really refreshing. This is not the relaxation after shirking responsibility, but the peace of mind when you have the backbone.

In the Vanity Fair in Hollywood, there are too many beautiful flesh and blood who want to be high.

And wanting beautiful women is extremely simple.

Just hang out at the door of any bar, and grab a lot of girls who want to chase their dreams, among them, there are many with good looks; even celebrities are easy for Roland now, because those guys know how to climb up. His bed could get anything, but it didn't matter if it was the former or the latter, they were of no use at all except to let people off.

Let those guys help Roland solve the current problem?

It doesn’t matter if it’s B-list, A-list or A+..

Among those guys, how many of them know how to deal with old money?

Indulging in the crowd of Yingyingyanyan, it's better to associate with someone who can help you.

Because the former can only meet the physical needs, and it is easy to get into all kinds of low-level troubles such as drug use and alcoholism, but the latter... is not only safer, but also helps you solve some career troubles.

In this way, while closing the bag with a smile, Roland also sincerely thanked: "Thank you."historical

"Thank you? This kind of verbal thanks doesn't make any sense." Seeing that Roland was satisfied, Kate also smiled.

While expressing 'dissatisfaction', he also brought his cheeks closer.

How could Roland not know the meaning of such an action?

The moment he leaned over to peck lightly, Kate also smiled like a flower, twisted her neck, and bit it.

...

It is different from various news reports that classify Long Island, New York as a rich area. The group of real rich people live in Central Park on the Upper East Side. Ronald Perelman's big bald head It's no exception. After all, this guy who only regarded Roland as an 'employee' before really has 'noble' blood.

This guy didn't start from scratch, his father, or his family, was in the energy business, and with the continuous migration of heavy industry, they also started lithium batteries in Brazil, but this guy likes to play finance, so He inherited his family’s bank, started crazy mergers and acquisitions, and cashed out of the market. The wealth that Forbes discloses every year is only the value of the shares held by others in mergers and acquisitions of listed companies. Those things that have been digested, Forbes simply does not Can't report it.

It is precisely because of knowing this that Roland will be cautious.

After all, a net worth of one billion is really not enough for a guy who can open a bank.

But what he didn't expect was that when he and Kate arrived at the old apartment building in the Upper East Side on time, the bald man who got the news came to greet them in person at the door.

"Oh! Roland! You're finally here!" The bald head opened his arms and gave Roland a warm hug. "Hey! If you hadn't been in New York these days, I would have thought you were back in Los Angeles!"

The sudden enthusiasm surprised Roland, but while facing the hug, Roland was not restrained, but also smiled and said: "How is it possible? Ronald, even if I am busy, I will not refuse your invitation! "

"Really? But what if a beautiful woman invites you? I don't think my charm can compare to those beautiful figures!"

Bald and laughing, he made a joke with Roland. Before Roland could respond, he put his arms around Roland's shoulders, looked at Kate beside him, and said, "Is this the girl that the media can't find? Can I I am honored to know, is it you, the English rose, that fascinates our superheroes, or is it our superheroes who are full of vision and actively pursue it?"

"If you say..." Although the bald head's question did not match the mutual greetings when they first met, and was a bit too familiar, the well-informed Kate did not show embarrassment, but responded with a smile: "...we two are What about love at first sight?"

"Love at first sight?" The big bald head repeated Kate's answer, and then the whole face showed envy, "Oh, love at first sight is really the most beautiful thing in the world..."

“I’ve never felt that kind of beauty..”

I have to say that successful people have thick skins. Roland and Kate were just greedy for each other's bodies at first, but when such vulgar things are said from the mouth of a big bald man, it is like getting a rare treasure.

However, this kind of praise is actually not too difficult for Roland and Kate to accept, and after a short greeting, when the accompanying gift was delivered, the big bald head who had already guessed the situation even patted Roland on the shoulder After a few clicks, he gave a thumbs up quietly, "Girl is very kind to you. Only less than 3,000 bottles of old vine champagne were produced in 1975, and more than half of them were sold to the UK. Compared with other champagnes Than, it has less sugar and I think the ladies tonight will be very pleased..."

"Okay, let's stop standing at the door, let's go upstairs, many friends are waiting for us..."
