Chapter 424 The Last Meeting
Donald Trump had just stepped out of his car and was immediately surrounded by a group of reporters, a situation he knew very well as a super-rich and a reality TV host.
It's just a reporter's question, and it has nothing to do with his personal problems.
Mr. Trump, did you see today's news?
A reporter didn't wait for him to respond and asked directly, It was reported that your daughter Ivanka spent the night with Duke Rosenberg last night. Do you know about this?
Of course I know.
As soon as this answer came out, the reporter paparazzi immediately surging, the shutter sound of the camera was almost continuous, and it seemed that he had found a rare big news, but Donald Trump didn't care, and said carelessly, Actually Duke and Ivanka is officially dating...
The scene was quiet for a while, and then countless questions scrambled to sound.
Donald, is this true?
How long have they been dating?
What do you think of Duke Rosenberg?
Will you bless them with this relationship?
In front of Trump Tower, it has become a noisy vegetable market, but this situation is exactly what Donald Trump likes to see. The name Trump and related things will definitely grab the headlines of various media. .
He is making headlines every day, but it is extremely difficult to succeed. He did not expect his daughter to do it so easily.
Donald Trump has some emotions in his heart. Ivanka has completely obtained his true biography. In the future, he will be the best heir to the Trump industry. Maybe he can use some favorable circumstances to expand the Trump Organization again.
In his eyes, the richest one percent of the country holds more than half of the country's wealth, and one-third of this money comes from hard work. The other two-thirds come from inheritance!
It seems that I have to contact my daughter more, which will affect her future development more, and Duke Rosenberg's huge fame, which is far more than him, and can be used as a topic in the future...
Donald Trump made a downward gesture and waited for the scene to be quieter. Then he said, When you find out that your daughter's suitor is someone like Duke Rosenberg, it is very difficult for you to have dissatisfaction, I will bless them, and I will also have a good talk with him. Conversations between men...
I admire Duke Rosenberg a lot.
On the television screen, Donald Trump gushed over interviews with reporters. If I get the chance, I'll go on to star in his movies, I'm a great actor, aren't I? What? Together? Of course! If I get the chance, I'll take Ivanka with him on my reality show, So you guys have to keep an eye on my show. Otherwise you'll miss the best page...
Pressing the button on the remote control and switching to another station, Duke's face was calm, and Ivanka, who was sitting beside him, was a little embarrassed. As a former personal assistant, she knew some of Duke's habits.
It is clear. He has some opinions about his father.
Sorry, Duke. Ivanka explained quickly, I didn't know it would turn out like this. Dad called in the morning and said that he saw the news on the Internet that I left the hotel with you. After asking me a few questions, I just... …”
It's okay, honey. Duke shook his head at her. It's just a little thing.
He then laughed, Okay, don't think about it so much.
Ivanka nodded lightly, but still said, Dad is not malicious, he just likes to use some news to expand the influence of the Trump industry.
I know. Duke stood up. I'm going to the study to deal with today's mail. You can chat with Emma. If you're bored, you can go to the garden and the beach.
Well, go get busy.
Looking at Duke's back disappearing at the door of the bedroom, Ivanka's eyes kept flickering. Her only restricted area in the villa was the study. Except for Emma and Tina Fei, no one else could enter without an invitation.
She picked up the remote control and switched to the TV station just now, and her father Donald Trump was still talking about her and Duke...
No one likes to be the boo of other people's hype, Duke is no exception, but how much does he know Donald Trump? Trump, the other side is such a person, since he is in contact with Ivanka, he is also mentally prepared, with his current identity Status, fame and influence, it is impossible to simply control this relationship within the scope of two people, which is not realistic at all.
Duke can selectively ignore Donald Trump as long as he doesn't touch his bottom line.
Showing and greed are normal, but they must be controlled within a certain range.
But that Christopher Rockencourt obviously couldn't control his greed. From the investigation records sent by Edward Newgate, Duke saw more names, even the first vice chairman of the college board of directors Frank? Pearson has invested $ 2 million in it.
This kind of investment plan similar to Ponzi scheme seems very simple, and it is easy to be seen through, but throughout the world, countless scams of this type are not only successful, but also often become bigger, which is enough to prove its attractiveness to people. power, especially the allure of the greedy side of human nature.
Sometimes, greed doesn't sound good, but it's a good thing. All kinds of greed - greed for life, greed for money, greed for knowledge, greed for knowledge - are all imprints in the history of human evolution.
But when greed completely blinds people, tragedy is often inevitable.
After the weekend, Duke's main daily work is still the post-production of The Two Towers. Nancy continued to negotiate with Christopher Rockencourt. , this looks like a real big Hollywood project, dragged on for a long enough time for the sake of profit.
Even Duke would have believed that a major production was about to begin, had it not been well documented.
Near the end of August, Nancy Josephson and the other party basically reached an agreement. This really can no longer be a real or fake negotiation. It is gradually coming to an end. Duke also went to see Christopher Rockencourt for the last time, although the open face The two sides are about to sign a contract, but in fact the verbal agreement that Nancy negotiated with him can never fall on paper.
Hopefully this is the start of a series of collaborations for us.
Christopher Rockencourt held Duke's hand. Duke smiled and said, I hope so too.
I have already launched my contacts in France. Christopher Rockencourt seemed to be very thoughtful, As long as the project is officially launched, we can establish a good communication channel with the French government, and the crew can go to Paris to shoot on the spot in the future. , you can also borrow some of the works of art from that year.”
It's all up to you in this regard.
Said again. Duke accompanied him into the lounge area of the golf course, and Jessica Alba took the initiative to greet him, Hi, Duke.
Hello, Jesse.
Duke gently squeezed her outstretched hand, frowning slightly imperceptibly.
He could feel it when the other's hand left. His fingers scratched on his palm deliberately.
In Hollywood communication, this is a very obvious signal, and Duke of course knows what it means.
With a slight nod, Duke sat opposite Christopher Rockencourt and continued the conversation just now. As for a silly woman like Jessica Alba who doesn't know what's going on, he has no interest.
Then again, as long as it's a normal man, who would be interested in a STD patient?
And as long as Christopher Rockencourt is done. Jessica Alba will be doomed too, she has been acting stupidly as the assistant of this super swindler. If Christopher Rockencourt's real face is revealed, might those investors not channel their anger on her?
Yes, there are only about 40 investors, but these 40 people are well-known people in Hollywood. Among them are great directors like Steven Soderbergh, and senior academy members like Frank Pearson, and these people have extensive contacts and can influence a large number of people...
Even James Cameron came forward to no avail, let alone in such a serious incident, who would foolishly stand up to help a young actor who is not even a second-tier actor?
To a certain extent, the fate of Jessica Alba is already in Duke's hands.
It's a pity, not to mention that she is just Jessica Alba, even if Marilyn Monroe is reborn, Duke will not change the plan that is already in progress.
Duke, you should have heard that I've been raising funds. Christopher Rockencourt is a smart man who knows how to win people's trust at critical moments. The $30 million in the early stage of the film is already in place for me. .
I've had Nancy pass it on to you for the $1 million check for the script deposit.
Seeing the other party nod, Duke thought seriously, Chris, after we sign the official letter of intent on September 1, the $45 million from Duke Studio will be credited within three days.
$1 million is just like the project Christopher Rockencourt threw out, it's just a bait, and there are so many restrictions on what a check can do, Duke isn't afraid of him disappearing, let alone someone watching him.
Christopher Rockencourt laughed, I'm sure we'll make a great work together.
I think so too. Duke looked at the time and stood up. Our cooperation will definitely be remembered by Hollywood.
The two shook hands again, each with a satisfied smile, and left the golf club.
Tina, after you go back.
Sitting in the co-pilot, Duke said to the female assistant who was driving, Notifying Panney, Nancy, Lawyer Al Ryder, and Mr. Edward Newgate to come to the manor, it's time for things to drag on for so long. It's time to end.
This so-called negotiation is carried out according to the Hollywood model. Both parties have shown professional spirit to win the trust of the other party. It is the most normal situation to drag on for so long. It involves a project with a total investment of hundreds of millions of dollars. If Christopher Rockencourt or Duke, whoever is happy, agrees, and a fool will see that there is a problem.
Now that it has reached the end of August, the two sides have even agreed on the signing time, and Duke cannot wait any longer.
The most important thing is that there are enough people involved in this incident, and the weight is heavy enough. (To be continued ^)
