"Mr. Eaton, please tell me." Su Chen said.

Hugh Eaton said: "You acquired 20th Century Fox, do you have any good scripts?"

"Mr. Eaton, I'm just a student of economics, not a screenwriter. How can I have a good script?"

Su Chen shrugged: "I just want to see if there is any good movie script, so that 20th Century Fox can turn around, otherwise I may have to work for Wells Fargo to pay off the debt in the days to come."

"I believe it should not be difficult for you."

Hugh Eaton raised his glass: "Let us wish this young Chinese man a smooth development of his business ambitions. As God testifies, I have rarely met such a capable Chinese young man."

Clara smiled and asked, "So, does Mr. Eaton mean that he recognizes Su as your son-in-law? I also think this young man is great, but it's a pity that I don't have a daughter."

Hugh Eaton shrugged: "Man, young people's affairs should be left to them. We elders can only bless them, can't we?"

Everyone chatted while eating, and naturally they were not talking about work, but about things in the United States and China.

Because Su Chen is Chinese, it is naturally impossible to neglect him.

And tonight's dinner is only Miranda's father and daughter, Clara and Su Chen, and many topics are left to the end.

After eating, Clara offered to leave first.

Hugh Eaton called Miranda and Su Chen to his room upstairs.

Ask Miranda to fetch two glasses of water.

Then he took out a cigar and handed it to Su Chen: "Su, would you like one?"

Su Chen shook his head: "Mr. Eaton, I don't know how to smoke."

"It's good not to smoke, but if you look at the advertisements on cigarette packs, it says that smoking is harmful to your health."

Eaton pinched the end of the cigar, lit it, took a deep breath, and then said:
"Tomorrow, the Wells Fargo team will come over and not only assist you in the acquisition of 20th Century Fox, but also assist you in other acquisitions. We will send you a bill for the expenses."

"How you plan to operate is your business. We have written the relevant agreement clearly, but I suggest you prepare a team yourself."

Su Chen nodded: "It is indeed necessary to form a team, but before I came to Hollywood, I just wanted to acquire New Vision, and 20th Century Fox was just a temporary idea on my part."

"So, work well, I believe the money will be repaid soon."

Eaton breathed out a smoke ring, and then said: "We also like 20th Century Fox. If it weren't for our lack of management ability, we would like to acquire 20th Century Fox ourselves."

"Mr. Eaton, I want to ask you to do me a favor." Su Chen said.

Hugh Eaton glanced at him: "Tell me, let me see if I can help you and then reply you."

"I want you to make an appointment with Barry Diller at Paramount."

Su Chen said: "In addition, I also want to ask you to help me use your political influence to help me solve the troubles encountered in the acquisition of 20th Century Fox and several other TV stations."

"Then what can I get?" Hugh Eaton looked very serious when he was talking about the business, "Man, if you want me to think that you are Miranda's boyfriend, then I advise you to die .”

"Of course I won't let Mr. Eaton help in vain." Su Chen said, "I heard that you support the Republican Party..."

Speaking of this, everyone is somewhat aware of it.

Hugh Eaton thought about it for a while, and then said: "Yes, but I need you to give Miranda some shares, and when it comes to public opinion about the Republican Party in the future, I need you to influence these public opinions."

"Up to 2.5%, because I also want to give Avril Lavigne 2.5% of the shares, and if Barry Diller is dug out, I will also give the shares." Su Chen said.

Of course, this is not to hurt the girlfriend, but to fancy the energy behind Avril and Miranda.

Although Professor Ayler is only a teacher, he is full of peaches and plums, and Miranda's Eaton family, of course, needless to say, getting along with their family will facilitate their development in the United States.

Giving shares to Barry Diller is naturally also for the development of DreamWorks. It must be the first to snatch 20th Century Fox, Barry Diller, and other TV stations from Murdoch to form a TV network.

Hugh Eaton frowned: "It's too little, buddy. I won't say 10%, but it must be at least 5%, right? Even if you give less than 20% of the shares, it won't affect your absolute control."

"Deal." Su Chen said: "Then propose 5% of each person's shares, but the premise is that I can hold all of these in my hands, otherwise our conversation will be in vain."

Hugh Eaton picked up the cigar, took a deep breath, and said, "Are you also optimistic about the Republican Party?"

"Investment is not 100% successful. Now that the Republican Party is in power, I naturally have to vote for what I like, can't I vote for the Democratic Party?" Su Chen shrugged: "But I have nothing to do with the Republican Party, so it's troublesome." Mr Eaton to help."

"Okay, if you can indeed give Miranda and Avril 5% of the shares each, I promise to help you solve these problems."

Hugh Eaton said: "In three days at most, I can help you with this matter. I think you can start to draw up the share contract."

"The day after tomorrow, I'll help you with Barry Diller, and you just take care of getting ready to meet."

With Hugh Eaton, Su Chen felt relieved.

Otherwise, the White House would never allow him, a Chinese, to acquire so many TV stations. There will definitely be a lot of voices. If Murdoch disrupts the situation again, there will be some troubles.

The current President Reagan and Vice President Bush are both members of the Republican Party. As long as public opinion can speak for the Republican Party, relatively speaking, the problem will certainly not be a big one.

If you want to make money, you must be willing.

If Su Chen also owns several influential newspapers like Murdoch, unless he also changes to American citizenship like Murdoch, there is no other explanation.

"Sue, I think it would be very helpful to your development if you could become an American citizen."

Hugh Eaton said: "It's like now, after you graduate, you can teach in school or go out to do business. In ten years or so, you can join any party, and maybe even participate in the presidential election."

Su Chen shrugged: "I didn't think about changing my nationality, so it would be better to leave future matters to the future."

"That's true." Hugh Eaton did not continue this topic, nor did he ask Su Chen about his development plan. He stood up and said, "I have to see Davis. Su, do you want to come with me?"

"Not for the time being, I'd better see them tomorrow." Su Chen said.

Hugh Eaton nodded: "Alright, then I'll go out first."

Since he wanted to go out, it was naturally impossible for Su Chen and Miranda to stay. After saying a word, they also offered to leave.

Outside, Miranda asked suspiciously, "Su, what did my father say to you mysteriously just now?"

"He said he wanted me to prepare to be the son-in-law of your Eaton family." Su Chen looked serious: "Prepare to let me inherit your family's property, by the way, do you know a man named Jeffrey Katzenberg? "
