Chapter 76 Dalang, it’s time to take medicine
Manhattan at night is still brightly lit. Under the bright neon lights, the constant flow of vehicles and the numerous steel bridges vaguely show the trend of cyberpunk.
It is from this nightlife that the communication of the upper class begins. In the splendid lobby hotel, countless well-dressed elite men in suits and socialites wearing elegant evening gowns and diamond jewelry mingled with each other and talked elegantly.
During the day and night, take a Mayfair ride through the most prosperous Upper East Side and head to Cindy Crawford’s villa.
Cindy Crawford and Rand Gerber stood at the door to greet the white night.
"Master Osborne, it's so refreshing to come to this humble abode."
Rand Jabbert was very enthusiastic.
This old boy was originally a model, but later transitioned to the business world and became famous. He became a billionaire and was friends with many Hollywood stars.
For example, he has a close friend, George Clooney. The two still have business relationships. The two co-founded a tequila company, but they sold it in 2017. It is reported that they earned hundreds of millions of dollars.
Rand Jabbert also shared this story - On September 27, 2013, Clooney called 14 buddies to come to his house for dinner. They thought it was a gathering of friends, but when everyone arrived, they found that Clooney gave everyone a gift. A black suitcase with a full one million US dollars inside! Not all of these 14 buddies are high-ranking officials. Some have cut Clooney's hair, and some have let him sleep on their sofas when he was down and out.
"You're welcome."
Bai Ye held the gift box in his hand and nodded with a smile:
"Sorry, I'm a little late. I need to deal with some things temporarily."
His eyes glanced at Cindy Crawford next to him.
Wearing an orange-red dress, revealing the deep white ravine, she has an elegant temperament and a decent expression. It is impossible to tell what a wild woman she is at heart.
"It doesn't matter, everyone knows that Master Osborne is running a game company valued at more than 300 million US dollars by Goldman Sachs and Sequoia Capital. He must be a busy man."
Rand Jabber smiled.
"Cindy, this is a little gift for the kid."
Bai Ye handed over the gift box in his hand.
Cindy Crawford and Rand Gerber have one son, Presley Gerber, and daughter Kaia Gerber.
Bai Yedu still has a deep impression on her daughter because she inherited her mother's beauty, extraordinary height, and flawless legs. She has the style of a mother on the catwalk back then. She is well known to the public for her sweet and charming appearance. She appeared on the cover of magazines at a young age, showing off her extraordinary aura, with long legs and wavy hair swaying around her face, which accentuated her temperament and exuded the aura of a supermodel.
Unfortunately, Kaia Gerber was born on September 3, 2001. Even if Baiye wants to cast the angel wheel, she will have to wait until around 2020 to harvest it. By then, the daylilies will be cold.
"Thank you uncle quickly!"
Cindy Crawford patted her son and daughter and educated them.
"Thank you uncle."
Her son is nine years old, and Bai Ye gave her the latest Nintendo game console. Her daughter is seven years old, and Bai Ye gave her a Yunsheng music box with carved roses inside the crystal.
After the gift box was opened, the little boy and the little girl both exclaimed. Obviously, they liked the gift from Bai Ye, his godfather.
"Come in quickly, come in quickly."
After exchanging pleasantries, Rand Jabber invited Bai Ye into his home.
The food has been prepared, and the delicious dishes are placed on the dining table, and the aroma is fragrant.
Moreover, Rand Gerber also prepared wine very thoughtfully, white wine - generally speaking, white wine tastes better than red wine, because white wine does not contain tannins, so it does not have that harsh taste. Much easier.
"Master Osborne, I'd like to toast you. Thank you for writing the letter of recommendation for Kaiya."
Rand Jabber took the initiative to raise his glass to Bai Ye.
Bai Ye clinked glasses with Rand Jabber and watched the other drink them all in one gulp. Bai Ye glanced at Cindy Crawford thoughtfully, and then happily drank half the glass of wine.
Well, this kind of wine is very easy to drink, with a strong floral and fruity aroma. After being chilled, it tastes quite good.
"Is Mr. Rand a good drinker?"
Bai Ye smiled.
"Me? I can't drink well." Rand Jabber waved his hand modestly and said: "It's just because I often socialize outside that I can drink a few drinks. Most of the time, I'm so drunk that I'm drunk. I was sent home and I didn’t know the personnel, so I had to trouble Cindy to take care of me for a long time. There was nothing I could do about it. As a man, you have to be responsible for supporting your family. In social interactions, you can’t do anything without drinking."
Cindy Crawford showed a subtle sneer at the corner of her mouth. The smell of alcohol on your body is a party, so the smell of perfume on your body is also a party?
Timely.
Bai Ye made eye contact with Cindy Crawford and understood the wildness in her eyes.
"It's really hard work." Bai Ye sighed and said, "But Mr. Lande, drinking too much alcohol will harm your body. Your body is the capital of the revolution! You can't make enough money. People are more important than money. You still have to take care of yourself. It’s also a great thing to spend some extra time with your family.”
"Alas!" Rand Jabber sighed: "Let's support our family. There's nothing you can do about it. Master Osborne, don't look at our glory, but in fact we don't have much money, especially when our son and daughter have grown up. In the end, they are simply two gold-eating beasts that cannot see the bottom. If they don’t make money, they can’t support their families at all.”
Bai Ye can't do anything. I have advised you to take good care of your family. If you don't listen, then I'm afraid there will be people with ulterior motives who will take care of your family for you. How can there be such a quiet time as there is someone to take care of your family? Move forward with a heavy load.
"Raising children is indeed a big problem." Bai Ye nodded and said, "Today's children are becoming more and more delicate. Many middle class people choose DINK because they cannot afford to raise children."
In China, people often say that parents in European and American countries barely take care of their children until they are eighteen years old. In fact, it is all nonsense. If you don’t have money and ability, you will definitely not be able to take care of them. This is the same in any country. Rich people still have to I worry about all kinds of things for the quality education of my children.
Under Rand Jabber's deliberate flattery, and Bai Ye also intended to build a good relationship, the two had a very happy chat.
Cindy Crawford sat on the side, gentle and demure, interjecting a few words from time to time, and drinking a few drinks. She had a slight blush on her face, which was extremely attractive.
"Master Osborne, I heard that Goldman Sachs and Sequoia Capital wanted to invest in your gaming company, but you rejected them?"
Rand Jabber asked, seemingly unintentionally, with his eyes dazed and drunk.
But Bai Ye knew that the main topic of the evening would probably only start from now on.
He smiled slightly:
"That's right."
"Is it because of the valuation issue?" Rand Jabber didn't even wait for Bai Ye to speak clearly, and said impatiently: "The valuation of $300 million from Goldman Sachs and Sequoia Capital is far from the price in your mind, Mr. Osborne. , how far is it?"
Cindy Crawford frowned. Isn’t the question you asked too personal?
I've known for a long time that you, an old guy, have other agendas for entertaining others, but your appearance is a bit ugly.
"Uh..." Bai Ye held up the wine glass and smiled slightly: "There is still a little bit of distance."
"Then my friends and I are willing to give Tianmei Studio a valuation of US$400 million. Master Osborne, are you willing to accept investment?"
Rand Jabber said impatiently.
"Well..." Bai Ye was helpless and said: "Mr. Lande, investing in a game company is not a good idea. Although the return on investment is high, the risk is also quite high. According to Tianmei Studio, it has produced two explosive This game has no shortage of cash flow for the time being. It is currently producing the third game "League of Legends" with an investment of US$200 million. Only when "League of Legends" succeeds will Tianmei Studio develop investment channels. If it fails... "
Needless to say, Bai Ye understood the next words and was shocked in his heart. Damn it, this young master is playing such a big game. A company that has only just been established dares to invest 200 million in production. Dollar game?
Crazy?
Rand Jabber had also heard before that Goldman Sachs and Sequoia Capital were competing for the investment amount of Tianmei Studio. He also found out that his wife Cindy Crawford had some friendship with Bai Ye, so he investigated Tianmei. After some research in the studio, I found that this was indeed a high-quality asset, so I thought of a way to see if I could invest in it.
It seems now...
forget it.
He has a small family and a small business, so he can't go crazy with this young master.
Even if this game with an investment of 200 million US dollars does not hit the street, with this young master's style, the game will definitely become bigger and bigger in the future. He is a small businessman and has no power to restrict it, so he is playing with a hammer!
Rand Jabber felt regretful for a while, it seemed that he could not take advantage of this young master.
The feast tonight is in vain.
Seeing that Rand Jabber's smile was forced, Bai Ye's mind changed. It would not be good to make this old guy frustrated. Otherwise, he would definitely not invite her to his home again in the future, and he would still have to feed him. Sweeten it.
Bai Ye smiled and said:
"Mr. Lander, I remember you are also engaged in the real estate industry, right?"
"That's right." Rand Jiebo was stunned, and then said happily: "Does it mean that Master Bai Ye has a need for this recently? Then come to me, and I will definitely look for a good house with good quality and low price for Master Bai Ye. "
Bai Ye himself definitely has no shortage of real estate, but Wendy lacks one. Bai Ye can't let Wendy live in his villa all the time, otherwise it will be difficult to pick up girls later, and it's time to find a new home for Wendy.
Coincidentally, I can also leave this matter to Rand Jabber, let him taste some sweetness from it, and build a good relationship between the two of them. It is best to be a good family friend, so that Bai Ye will have a reason to often stay at night with him. Inside the home.
"Well, just find one in Manhattan. The price is between US$10 million and US$15 million..."
Bai Ye briefly stated his request.
When it comes to keeping women by his side for a long time, Bai Ye can't be so stingy. He basically buys them mansions worth tens of millions of dollars. Of course, he can't give them to them right away. It's just options. Even if it's Tangtang, there are still Four years later, the option expires and the property rights of the house are automatically transferred to her name.
Wendy handed over her virginity to Bai Ye. In the future, she will be the one who will be in charge of the Pan Entertainment Group alongside Ikana for Bai Ye. It is also her right to buy a multi-million dollar mansion for her.
"Okay, Master Osborne, wrap it up on me..."
Rand Jabber was drinking wine excitedly while discussing the details with Bai Ye.
For Bai Ye, tens of millions of dollars is nothing, but for Rand Jabber, it is not small.
Bai Ye listened to Rand Gerber talking about various things about real estate, and his mind was already a little loose, because after Cindy Crawford blinked her charming big eyes at Bai Ye, she took the Her long legs wrapped in black stockings stretched out and gently rubbed against Bai Ye's legs.
"hiss--!"
Bai Ye took a breath of cold air.
Brother Rande, I don’t blame my brother for not being human, I just blame my sister-in-law for being so charming!
In short, the more Bai Ye and Rand Jiebo chatted, the more speculative they became. After two bottles of white wine, the two of them finished making "Kang Kuang".
then.
Both Bai Ye and Rand Jabber were drunk.
"No, I can't drink anymore. It's time to go home."
Bai Ye stood up unsteadily.
"Why are you going home, Master Osborne? It's late at night. If you go home at this time, we can't afford to have anything happen to you." Rand Jabber burped. , said: "If you don't mind it, why don't you stay here for one night?"
"Is this appropriate?"
"What's inappropriate? We are all friends, so we can just stay here with peace of mind. There are several empty guest rooms in our house!"
"Then...I can only be disrespectful."
With the help of the nanny and Cindy Crawford, the two people were sent back to the room.
At an angle that Rand Jabber and the nanny couldn't see, Bai Ye grabbed Cindy Crawford's buttocks and squeezed three times, giving a hint.
Cindy Crawford looked back and glared at Bai Ye fiercely, and he knew that this woman understood his hint.
During the day and night, I stayed in the bedroom and slept soundly.
Inside the master bedroom.
Rand Jabber fell heavily onto the soft ship and said:
"Cindy, Master Osborne is a very good person. He gave our family a good deal of business as soon as we met. It will be of great benefit for you to have more contact with him in the future."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Cindy Crawford said: "He is the eldest son of the Osborne family. You and I can get in touch with him if we want to have more contact with him? Jabber, let's be down-to-earth and be ourselves. Let’s do business, don’t think about taking any advantage from those rich young men, don’t steal the chicken and lose the rice, you will suffer the big losses.”
"Didn't you see that I just reached a multi-million dollar deal with Master Osborne?" Rand Jabber was unhappy and said, "We will not follow this young master to engage in any funds or finance. Ah, what can he do to trick us? This young master is really rich. I just feel that if I make good friends with him and help him handle some things, he will save some effort and he will be happy. If you miss something, it will be enough for us to eat for a long time. Isn’t that bad?”
"Then you let me make friends with him? I'm your wife!"
"It's also for the good of our family. You don't know, it's hard to do business now. Our company's cash flow situation is not very good. We urgently need to develop new sources of funds, otherwise the risk will be very high." Rand Jiebo said : "Besides, in business now, if you have no power or influence, even anyone would dare to bully you. Regardless of the total net worth of our family, we are also billionaires, but in front of those real giants, it is nothing." ?When someone wants to eat you, you have no room to resist. If you can make good friends with this young master, then our family will be considered to have a noble person to support you, and it will be much easier to do business with others. .Cindy, you don’t want our family to go bankrupt anytime soon, do you?”
Cindy Crawford: "..."
What else could she say?
She has clearly rejected her verbally, but this husband has to push her towards Bai Ye for the so-called nobleman's support. What can she do?
I can only choose to listen to my husband.
"I know." Cindy Crawford said impatiently: "In the future, I will try to get in touch with him as much as possible to see if there is a chance to let him help our family more."
How to build relationships as much as possible?
Of course, it is to bring the relationship into a negative distance. This way, Bai Ye has a handle. What can't be done?
"That's it!" Rand Jabber nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "Tell me, should we let Kaiya recognize this young master as his godfather?"
"Are you mentally ill? Don't think that it's all coming out." Cindy Crawford rolled her eyes and said, "He is a good young man in his prime. How can you let someone of his age come to you?" Do you want to be your godfather? It’s strange that you are willing. Our family is too different from others, and you can only bring humiliation to yourself by bringing this up."
"Haha... This matter seems to have come out of my head, huh?" Rand Jabbert smiled awkwardly and muttered: "Then what method should I think of to further shorten the relationship with this young master? ?”
Cindy Crawford shook her head slightly, turned around and opened the drawer in the master bedroom where she kept things. She found two medicine bottles from inside, one was a hangover medicine, and the other... was a sleeping pill.
Taking a pill from each of the two bottles, Cindy Crawford poured a glass of warm water, came to Rand Gerber, and said:
"You drank so much again today, come on, take some hangover medicine."
As Rand Jabbert said to Bai Ye before, he had a lot of social activities and often drank until he was completely drunk. Therefore, he and Cindy Crawford always had anti-alcohol medicine in their bedroom. When he comes back, Cindy Crawford will take some hangover pills for him.
Rand Jabbert's eyes had long been double and he couldn't see clearly. After hearing what Cindy Crawford said, he naturally took the medicine obediently, and after a while, he was sleeping like a dead pig.
Seeing this, Cindy Crawford walked out of the room and quietly closed the bedroom door.
Next, Cindy Jinlian Crawford will have to fight Baiye Ximen Osborne at night.
