New York 1988
Chapter 107 Thigh Korea
Chapter 107 Thigh Korea (for subscription)
On December 1988, 12, although it was Double Twelve, there were no e-commerce discounts.
However, for Stanford University students, this day is happier than e-commerce discounts. It is very simple. Today is the beginning of Stanford University’s Christmas and New Year holidays.
From the 12th to January 1th of the next year, there is almost a whole month of holidays.
Like other students, Han Sheng and Elizabeth were also enjoying the joy of their school holidays, chatting casually while packing their luggage and preparing to go home.
"Gaotong has already received an order from Schneider Trucking Company!" Elizabeth smiled and told him the good news.
After the merger of Gaotong and Olinite, after nearly two months of R&D and production, the Omnitracs satellite communication system was produced a few days ago and handed over to Schneider Trucking Company for testing.
In the original time and space, Gaotong successfully got Schneider's order. This time, with the support of Benjamin and other big bosses, it will be easier.
Even, Victoria is still helping Jiaotong to find various trucking companies, and even some channels of the military to get more similar orders.
At this time, Owen also understood the benefits of relying on the boss. In the past, it was good for him to chat with a major in the military. Now the lowest is the brigadier general, and the other party is quite polite.
According to estimates, next year's orders may exceed 5000 million.
Although after the equity was diluted, it seemed to be reduced by half, but according to the current situation, it earned more, not to mention the valuation, which now costs at least [-] million knives.
Then his 20.00% equity is worth 5000 million knives.
Therefore, he is working very hard now, and even heard that he is thinking about CDMA in advance.
"What's going on with Benjamin and Maddie?" Han Sheng asked casually.
"Maddy is still unscrupulous, so it's already a public quarrel," Elizabeth said helplessly, "the principal can't help it. Although your family is deeply rooted in Stanford, Maddy also has two elders who are behind Stanford. The boss and the big benefactor...!"
"Everyone in your family knows about it, right?" Elizabeth asked him back.
"Yeah!" Han Sheng nodded. Even if he didn't say anything about it, even if Victoria didn't say anything, the headmaster, Donald, was someone who gnawed at your family, so he would report it.
"Victoria said that they have already talked with Maddie's parents, that is, the super senior senator, but the other party did not give any clear response. The donkey party's super family, the two parties have never dealt with each other.
What's more, the headmaster also said, after all, it's the pettiness of young people, and the old guys don't care that much...! "
"Oh," Elizabeth pouted.
The spirit of the young is terrible, because they are too young and too impulsive, unlike the old guys, they are very stable in everything they do, and they know where the bottom line is.
Han Sheng was happy to see the results. To be honest, they fought first, so he could justifiably intervene, and then stabbed the hook brand in the back.
While chatting, we packed our things.
After everything was ready, he and Elizabeth went to the three clubs they ran, distributed some Christmas gifts to the club members, and then turned around and went home.
This time it was still driving home. Elizabeth liked to watch the scenery along the way, which made people feel refreshed...
Therefore, Han Sheng still drove on the road.
Coming out of the dormitory, along the way, he met classmates who also went home. Han Sheng also greeted him with a smile. After leaving the school all the way, he started to speed up...
Because she only set off at noon, and Elizabeth wanted to see the scenery, she didn't arrive at her home in Los Angeles until almost eight o'clock in the evening.
"Put the things here first, and I'll clean them up for you later!" The seven or eight-hour car ride was also quite tiring. Although Elizabeth looked happy and excited, Han Sheng felt sorry for her.
"What do you want to eat, I'll make it for you?"
"Just eat whatever you want!" Elizabeth looked at him with a smile, "I'm actually not very hungry, you'd better take care of yourself first!"
"Then I'll make you sweet and sour pork...!" Han Sheng was talking, when Christina on the second floor yelled, "Vincent, are you back? Where's Elizabeth?"
Dalton had a holiday on the 10th, and Christina flew to Los Angeles on the day of the holiday.
"You go up first, they should be taking a bath, you should also take a bath, relax!"
"Yeah!" Elizabeth nodded, then jumped up and down the stairs like a little girl.
Han Sheng himself is also hungry. Although he ate a lot of chocolate, biscuits and cooked food, he still eats a lot. There is nothing he can do. His body seems to be still "growing". According to his current prediction, Probably until his adult appearance.
Of course, this is a good thing.
After making Elizabeth the sweet and sour pork ribs that she liked recently, and then made some other snacks, Han Sheng carried them to the hot spring bath on the second floor.
Seeing that Helena was also there, he was taken aback, "Are you here too?"
Helena snorted coquettishly, "Why can't I come, who doesn't know that I'm your girlfriend now?" Good guy, the moment she suddenly jumped out of the water, it really didn't feel like a light went off. What's the difference? It's really thrilling and beautiful.
Han Sheng was too embarrassed to look any further, and just yelled: "When did it happen? I haven't even held your little hand...!"
At this time, Christina curled her lips, "Then who knows if you have held hands before? Oh, yes, it should be said that holding hands is actually a trivial matter. The real important thing is that you peeked at other people...?"
"Who knows what it is?" Han Sheng complained, but he just didn't talk about watching the lights.
But Victoria directly pierced him, and said contemptuously: "See, this shameless person is so shameless, he doesn't talk about important things, obviously that--is the most serious thing!"
Well, with the four women here, even if Elizabeth just watched the play with a smile, Han Sheng couldn't stand it.
I originally planned to take the opportunity to go to the hot spring bath to give the beauties a good time, but now it seems to be delusional.
So, after honestly putting down the food, he turned around and left in despair.
However, Victoria was still flustered behind her, "Hey, don't you want to stay? You are not that kind of person, you don't take advantage of anything. Wow, Helena, your bath towel..., wow, it's really beautiful ...!"
Then Helena screamed on purpose, "Ah, why are you doing this, then I will take revenge too...!"
Han Sheng wanted to turn back, but he didn't dare.
Already even guessed it might be a trap, so held back.
I can only be ruthless secretly, Victoria, you goblin, wait for the young master, and see if I don't call you daddy when the time comes.
……
Although the school is on holiday, Han Sheng still has a lot of work to do.
In the United States, wage earners are not like students. They can only take one month off work, and wage earners only have one or two days off on Christmas Day and New Year's. They have to work at other times.
Although Han Sheng is not a wage earner, he wants to make money.
Making money doesn't matter whether you take a holiday or not.
On December 12, Mariah Carey and his new single, the famous Christmas song: "All I Want for Christmas Is You" were officially released, and this is also the day when Sister Niu's new album officially started .
The distribution is still handed over to Warner.
Although Mariah Carey is a newcomer, Han Sheng participated in this single, so Morgado still held a big press conference.
Then, unsurprisingly, Han Sheng became the protagonist again.
"Vincent, what do you think of your new girlfriend?" The unscrupulous "Hollywood Reporter" naturally asked an unscrupulous question.
Han Sheng smiled, he is not afraid of this anymore, it is very simple, just like in the original time and space, many people accepted that Xiao Lizi is a playboy, a person who keeps changing supermodel girlfriends, now, many people Know that Han Sheng is also a playboy, know that he has many girlfriends.
In short, it becomes natural to get used to it.
Of course, the newspapers are still happy to report it. The reason is that some people like to read it. Gossip and so on are human nature.
"I've said it a long time ago, she's a genius, the next super queen!" Han Sheng also pointed at NBC's Alberta, "Honey, remember the bet we made?"
"Of course, even if you win, I'd like to!" Alberta giggled, and many reporters who had experienced that incident were delighted.
At the beginning, Han Sheng made a bet with them, saying that if Mariah Carey really became a queen, then the reporters would have to say that Han Sheng was awesome on TV, magazines, newspapers and other media, and they were convinced.
Then if Han Sheng lost, he would agree to one condition.
Alberta's condition is to get out with Han Sheng once.
Although Han Sheng is popular, his relationship with the media is getting better and better, unless you deliberately target him.
"Others release new albums directly, and then use popular singles to play singles, but I think you seem to release new albums first, and then release new albums. Are you planning to create a new model?" Albert Although La is an idiot, he is really smart.
This year is just like what she said, everyone is used to releasing new albums and then making hit singles, even Michael Jackson is like this, and this is the consistent pattern of almost all major record companies.
And the later model of making hit singles and then releasing albums has not yet begun.
Han Sheng smiled and nodded, "I do have such an idea, and, I think, this will increase the popularity of the album faster."
"However, will this consume the content of the album in advance," the reporter of the "Los Angeles Times" asked: "Generally speaking, the singles that are placed are all hits, and they are the best songs in the album. Then, You may just buy these few hit singles, there is no need to buy the album!"
This is indeed the case.
Especially for some later singers, the album is the first wave of the flagship and you can still listen to it, and the others are basically rubbish.
Han Sheng smiled and said, "I don't know much about other singers or other record companies, but I can guarantee that the songs in the album for me and our company's singers are definitely not just a few hit singles... ...!"
He has the confidence to say this, because in his first album, all of them were in the top three, and there were as many as twelve songs that got the top single, that is, only two did not get the top single. .
Although this is the reason why he originally picked the champion in the original time and space.
Even most of them are more than two weeks.
But this also shows from the side that his album is awesome, and the songs in his album are good.
"Rolling Stone" magazine has said that he has set a new benchmark for so-called excellent albums, and thus re-established his status in the music industry.
……
Throughout the press conference, there were basically no questions for Mariah Carey.
If you don't ask, it's about her relationship with Han Sheng.
So, after the press conference, Sister Niu pouted, looking unhappy.
When he got to the office, he even sat in his arms and acted like a baby, "Are you sure you can be popular with me like this, I feel that everyone doesn't want to talk to me at all!"
"It's not that I don't want to talk to you, but because you are a newcomer and have no reputation.
If you are not famous, it means that no one wants to watch you. Naturally, they are not willing to report it, because it is related to how much they can earn. "
Han Sheng smiled and comforted: "You are much better than I was back then. I was still thinking about taking advantage of Michael's popularity, but he was not willing to publish reports at all, and even made all kinds of scolding...!"
Of course, Mariah Carey knew how miserable he was scolded at the beginning, and she was still in fear, "Tell me, what if I was scolded like that by others, me, my skin color...!"
"Your skin color is fine, it's very white!" Han Sheng laughed.
"Hate it, I'm of mixed race too, I'm of African descent," Mariah Carey said worriedly.
"Africans are much better than Chinese!"
Han Sheng didn't want to talk about this, so he changed the subject: "Don't worry, although there aren't many people interviewing you, there will be news about you everywhere tomorrow, even if it's because you're with me, but there will be.
Then, after the song becomes popular, your strength will be recognized, and then, you will be further accepted and gradually become popular.
Probably next year, after the first album, you will be very popular, and after two or three years, you will really become a queen...! "
"Really!" Mariah Carey didn't have much confidence in herself now.
It's very simple, her strength has been there for a long time, but she recommends herself in various ways, but no one is optimistic about her and helps her. In this way, everyone will have to worry about it, and gradually lose her self-confidence.
"Don't worry, just trust me!" Han Sheng smiled and patted her buttocks.
Mariah Carey smiled happily, and squeezed hard into his arms, slowly rubbed against his ear, and whispered, "Thank you, dear!"
"What I fancy is your talent!" Han Sheng laughed and said the most shameful words.
"Then why are you so energetic every time!" Mariah Carey bit her lip and giggled, obviously agitated, and teased him on purpose.
"Look, you're dishonest now!"
"That's what you provoked on purpose...!" Before Han Sheng finished speaking, Mariah Carey shrank back, and he couldn't speak anymore.
……
"All I Want for Christmas Is You" is known as the Christmas Divine Comedy for no reason.
It's just the time of Christmas, and with Han Sheng's blessing, good guy, he actually airborne to the top of the singles chart. This, even Han Sheng was stunned for a moment.
It's very simple. Although it is a divine comedy, in the original time and space, this song did not win the top single at that time, let alone the airborne top single, and finally won the top single, it was a certain Christmas after more than 20 years.
Well, no matter what, it is always a great thing to be able to airborne the championship.
Moreover, this time, unlike the movie "Pretty Woman", which had too many critics, after the song "All I Want for Christmas Is You" was released, it received unanimous praise from the critics.
"It seems simple, but it is a well-crafted work, and it is a rare great work in such a great festival as Christmas. "All I Want for Christmas Is You" will definitely become one of the most popular songs in Christmas in the future!" —Chicago Sun-Times, Thomas Connor.
"I don't think I need to say more about the instrument and the melody. Vincent did a great job and maintained the super high level he has always been. What I want to say is that he is only a supporting role in this song. Of course, he did it on purpose. Yes, he gave up the leading role to the so-called future queen Mariah Carey who he personally discovered.
To be honest, the current Mariah Carey is definitely not a queen, but from this song, through her timbre, singing, etc., we may see a trace of a queen! --Steve Morse, The Boston Globe.
"One of the best songs of the last decade, one of the holiday anthems, a timeless classic that will surely become a song that citizens of the country are familiar with and are used to humming...!" Sasha Frere, The New Yorker.
"Maybe that's why Vincent boasted that Mariah Carey is the future queen. She sings really well. Her voice is clean and full of energy. Her performance is sincere but gorgeous. There is no doubt that she really has the talent of a queen." , the next one is probably just a matter of time...!" "Los Angeles Times" Lawrence.
……
The airborne champion received rave reviews, and Warner took the opportunity to make an effort.
All of a sudden, the streets and alleys were filled with the singing and melody of "All I Want for Christmas Is You", making the atmosphere of Christmas even more intense.
Under such circumstances, naturally, the sales of the single are also overwhelming.
A week later, it directly broke through 500 million. Although Han Sheng had a huge bonus for this, there is no doubt that the coincidence of Christmas is also a very important factor.
The song is good and the sales are good, Han Sheng and the others are too busy.
I took Mariah Carey to various promotions, and I was busy until noon on December 12th. The year before the year was considered to be a temporary end, er, I have to continue after the year.
Mariah Carey is finally starting to catch fire now, especially her red Christmas outfit is very popular, and even advertisers have come to her door.
Therefore, taking advantage of the holiday, she returned home with a rare smile, ready to have a happy Christmas.
After Han Sheng sent her home, he also returned home.
Christmas, of course, is going back to my new home on the Upper East Side.
Although I am of Chinese descent, I do as the Romans do when I go to the country, so I have prepared various Christmas trees and the like at home.
As soon as he arrived at the door, his father happened to be standing in the vestibule looking at the snow scene. Seeing him, he asked with concern, "Why did you come back? Your mother is still planning to call you?"
"It snowed heavily in Boston yesterday, and I couldn't move on the road at all. I just stayed at Victoria's house for half a day, otherwise I should have come back last night!"
As he spoke, both his mother and Elizabeth heard voices coming out.
While taking things from the car and the trunk, he said: "This is a gift bought by Victoria and old Harris for you, and I can't refuse it. Find your own, there are too many...!"
"What do you mean you can't refuse?" Han Zheng scolded, "Besides, this is too much, so you can't take less!"
"It's a big family, that's not too much!" Han Sheng said with a smile.
Han Zheng wanted to say more, but Julia pulled him, and he stopped.
Only then did Julia say; "After two days, I'll buy some return gifts and send them over!"
Americans don't pay attention to what kind of return gift, she is according to the Chinese custom.
Han Sheng said with a smile: "No need, I bought gifts when I went there, not to mention, I will buy them in a few days, Christmas is already over!"
"That's all right!" Julia was much more open-minded now.
Perhaps, she could also see that Victoria, who came back with Elizabeth a few days ago, was thinking about the baby son at home. In that case, as a mother, she still has reason to be arrogant.
While chatting, they moved the gifts piled up like a hill into the living room.
The living room is less than a hundred square meters, it's super big, and that little gift is not a problem.
Then, the two women, Julia and Elizabeth, happily picked out gifts, while Han Sheng chatted with his father about company affairs, daily life and so on.
"After the Chinese New Year, my martial arts gym will open, so you should come back then!" Han Zheng said.
He also knew that the children from New York who signed up were all looking at Han Sheng's face. Of course, he also recognized his son's strength. He learned some true meanings of Jeet Kune Do, and his strength became stronger. .
Although it is okay for him to teach temporarily, the cards still have to be raised.
"Well, can you let me know in advance?" Han Sheng nodded, "It looks like two or three days in advance, I'm super busy in January, National Music Festival, Golden Globe Awards, Oscar nominations, Grammy nominations, etc. Wait, and then the old George Grand Commander will take office, and I have already been notified there..."
These are just big things, small things and Jennifer Aniston's new film "Before the Dawn" is going to the Sun Denis Film Festival, which is also in mid-January.
Han Zheng also knew that he was busy, so naturally he would not blame him for saying advance notice, and nodded, "I also know you are busy, so I booked the 8th, and you should still have some time then!"
"That's no problem, I'll be free first!"
Han Sheng didn't want to talk about these work matters with his father, so he casually chatted about other daily life, "Are you still used to it here?"
Han Zheng gave a rare smile, "I'm pretty much the same as before, except that your Uncle Lowe comes over occasionally, and Mr. Edward Wilson sometimes pulls me over for a drink or something, but it's your mother, it's terrible now, old man I'm popular, I hang out with various wives every day, sometimes I don't come home every day...!"
Now that my mother quit, Julia curled her lips, "What do you mean by being away from home every day? Don't you just feel that no one cooks for you? Heh, I have been serving you for almost 20 years, and I have always treated you like an idol." So, He Zhe, I will have to wait on you forever.
Besides, your name is almost the same as before, you have started to learn to play golf every day, and what club do you go to with that guy Edward, I heard there are many beautiful girls there? "
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Han Zheng couldn't hold back any longer.
"What am I talking about, don't think I don't know what you were like when you were young," Julia snorted softly, "When you were young...huh!"
It was Elizabeth who gave her a tug, and she thought about taking Han Zheng's face into account, so she didn't say much.
He just casually threw a package to Han Zheng, "Your, it seems to be that old-fashioned pocket watch you like!"
Han Zheng wisely didn't say anything.
After unwrapping the presents, find a place to put them away. It gets dark quickly in winter, and the sky outside looks already dark.
For Americans, Christmas Eve on the 24th is very important, similar to Chinese New Year's Eve. After Han Sheng's cooking skills have improved, he will be in charge of the meals as long as the whole family is there for the holidays at home.
Today is the same, although it is Christmas Eve, there are turkeys and the like, but there are also big fish and meat that are common to Chinese people, as well as various cold dishes that he carefully prepared.
The family of four made a mix of eight dishes, one soup and a few dim sum.
When it was finished, it was almost seven o'clock, and everyone gathered around the table to eat happily together.
There is no such thing as burning incense to worship ancestors.
On the contrary, Han Zheng, as the parent, said a few words about everyone's hard work for a year, and wishing everyone good health and progress in their studies and careers in the coming year.
After all, the Han family is still used to celebrating the Chinese New Year, and even Julia was gradually assimilated.
Moreover, it has been agreed this year that during the Spring Festival, everyone will still live in Chinatown, and then, when the time comes, they will have a lively time with their grandfather and uncle.
……
There have been huge changes this year. Although everyone is still trying to be steady and calm, there are more or less changes. While drinking and eating, the conversation gradually begins.
It wasn't until almost twelve o'clock in the middle of the night that they each went to rest.
You know, their family is used to going to bed before eleven o'clock.
Elizabeth didn't want to sleep yet, although she was a little drunk, she was lying in his arms, "Let's go to the attic, I want to see the snow?"
Their large house had an attic on top of it, which Elizabeth liked so much that sleeping quarters were arranged in it.
Han Sheng carried her up to the top.
Turn on the light a little bit, lie on the thick cushions and quilts in the attic, look out the side window and the night and snow above the head, even if it is dark and not very clear, it is still a very beautiful thing.
Elizabeth seemed a little cold, her back was turned to him, and she curled up in his arms.
Han Sheng's warm breath was next to his ears, it was a little itchy, but it was very warm and made people more attached, and he shrank a little into his arms, grabbed his hand and hugged himself tightly, before saying quietly: "This year the changes are good. Big, it feels like a lifetime has passed...!"
"Life is still a long time!" Han Sheng smiled slightly, "This is just a trivial beginning!"
"But this may be an achievement that no one else can achieve in their lifetime!" Elizabeth said with a trace of emotion. She never expected Han Sheng to be so successful at the beginning, and her goal all along was to earn a little money as soon as possible, and then make life at home better. stand up.
"By the way, I have already settled with Victoria for the money from Bantam and Warner... Bantam's is 1200 million, and Warner's is 1600 million. The total is more than 2800 million!"
"It's a little less," Han Sheng said with a smile.
Elizabeth thumped him lightly, "It's a lot, don't be too greedy!"
In the first issue, Han Sheng got more than 2200 million from Bantam, and from Warner, he even got more than 4000 million. Sure enough, whether it was a novel or a record, it was the most expensive thing to buy at the beginning. , especially his strategy of making big hits in the early stage.
However, the global profits of Bantam have not been divided, and there are more. Even, there are still many places in the world that have not been spread, such as small countries in Europe, some ordinary countries in Asia, and South America.
Bantam is now only paved with developed countries in Europe such as Sandezi, French Chicken, British Shit Stirring Stick, East Asian Neon, Stick and so on.
In short, this is about to usher in an explosion next year.
You know, "Harry Potter" has sold tens of billions of dollars worldwide, so where is he?
Then, Warner settled the sales of the previous three singles and some albums, and the sales of the hit singles in the subsequent albums did not start to be settled.
As for the share of the movie "Pretty Woman", well, let's talk about it in June next year, that's still very early.
"Take the money for now!" Han Sheng said.
Elizabeth is still secretly working on the operating system, and the money needed will only increase. Of course, it is still enough for the time being.
Then, he will not stop making money. Next year, that is, in 89, he will release new albums, movies, and the new albums of Sister Niu and the others. In short, when 92 and 93 come, He has to make adequate preparations, accumulate enough money, and then have a stud, the biggest piece of cake during the explosive period of the information industry.
……
While chatting, the two of them gradually fell asleep.
In the early morning of the next day, Han Sheng was afraid of disturbing Elizabeth who was sleeping in his arms, so he rarely got up to practice.
When it was almost eight o'clock, Elizabeth opened her eyes in a daze.
He found that he was lying in Han Sheng's arms.
And it seems that there is something..., not very comfortable.
She was not stupid, and her face turned red immediately.
But seeing how honest he is, I know he's not to blame.
Then he turned around slightly and looked at the white world outside after a night of heavy snowfall.
Han Sheng hugged her tightly again, sniffing her breath greedily, "It snowed so much yesterday!"
"Well, it's so beautiful!" Elizabeth murmured, and squeezed into his arms again. Although she was a little shy, the feeling was charming and intoxicating...
The two of them watched in silence for almost half an hour, until his mother Julia called from downstairs, "Honey, are you still sleeping, or you should get up and have breakfast!"
Elizabeth was not hungry, but Han Sheng couldn't stand it anymore, his stomach was rumbling, Elizabeth couldn't help but thumped, then gave him a light thump, and said softly, "Get up...!"
……
December 12th is Han Sheng's 26rd birthday.
This year, it's also Monday, the day the new week's movie box office comes out.
Just like in the original time and space, "Pretty Woman" showed the most domineering posture. Although it did not grow against the trend in the second week, it has only dropped by less than 10% since the second week.
1724 million in the first weekend, 1681 million in the second week, 1569 million in the third week, a drop of only 6%, and then beat the just-released "Rain Man" starring Tom Cruise, well, "Rain Man" In the original time and space, it is not a box office explosion type, it is a relatively long-selling type.
Therefore, "Rain Man" is not even the second place, but was overwhelmed by "Dragon Brother and Mouse Brother" released last week, and ranked third, but the difference is very small. "Dragon Brother and Mouse Brother" was 778 million US dollars Knife, while "Rain Man" is 706 million.
Then, in the fourth week, that is, last week, "Rain Man" finally counterattacked, but it was "Dragon Brothers and Rats" who counterattacked. "Rain Man" got 985 million, while "Dragon Brothers and Rats" only got 691 As for the box office champion, it is still "Pretty Woman", which only fell by 10.8%, and received 1303 million US dollars.
Unlike in the original time and space, where "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" was always overwhelmed, in this time and space, "Pretty Woman", which had no rivals, won the box office championship for four weeks in one fell swoop, and it seemed that there would be another show next week.
Therefore, those guys who have been preparing to wait for "Pretty Woman" to plummet in the entire film critic circle have directly closed themselves off.
Warner was crazy about it.
Nicole Kidman was also very excited, and called early in the morning, "Honey, you are simply too great, you are simply a god, my God, they say that the box office trend of a movie like this has not been achieved in the past ten years. This is the first time.
Now most of the movies are the most popular in the first week, and a drop of 30.00% in the second week is considered a hit. My God, our fourth week is only a drop of less than 30.00%...! "
"I'm so happy, you still have the Golden Globe and Oscar!" Han Sheng laughed
"Well, I really don't know what to say, thank you so much, honey, thank you for everything, oh my god, I almost forgot to say happy birthday to you... really It seems to be by your side, I want to do everything I can to please you and make you happy, that, your little baby misses you again, you know!"
Good guy, I'm so excited that I'm a little incoherent.
Han Sheng laughed, "Where are you?"
"Um, I'm in Los Angeles!" Then, someone next to Nicole Kidman screamed: "Ah, we miss you, we're coming to New York now, you wait for us!"
That Meg Ryan's voice.
Then, Nicole Kidman said: "Why don't we come over to wish you a happy birthday? We have a lot of people here, so we should be able to let you enjoy the most exciting happiness...!" Laughed and chatted very much.
Kindness is hard to come by, what else can Han Sheng say.
……
The 16th birthday is still very important. It is considered a semi-adult. You can get a special driver’s license and you can drive. Although he used to drive all kinds of blatantly, the police always turned a blind eye. eye-catching.
Of course, the most important thing is that he has now gained identity, wealth and status, so everyone will be at home for Christmas, but after Christmas, when he celebrates his birthday, many people come.
Edward Wilson, Rodriguez, Thompson, chairman of the New York Judicial Committee, and others who are nearby will not say, that is, old Harris, Hoffman, Spielberg, Warner, Bantam Waiting for people and forces, either sent people to come, or came in person.
Then, the still young George, the really young Daniel, William, Chandler, Blair, Harrington, Alexander and others also came, and they all came on behalf of the family.
Of course, Victoria was the representative of old Harris. It wasn't that old Harris didn't show face. It's a little exaggerated for him to have such a big status on such a small birthday.
Then Mariah Carey, Jennifer Aniston, Jen who was originally a New Yorker also came.
The only thing that surprised Han Sheng was that Richard Daddario came with his wife and daughter.
"I didn't have time to thank you for helping my daughter last time. It's really a bit rude!" Richard was even more polite this time.
This, in addition to the fact that old George has been elected as the commander-in-chief, there are also reasons why Han Sheng has a different status.
Han Sheng pretended not to know, "I didn't know you were living in New York?"
"We live on the side of 82nd Street, very close!" Mrs. Richard, who is also named Christina, said with a smile: "And we mainly live here. The last time I went to Washington for business!"
"That's it, I thought you were living in Washington!" Han Sheng naturally wouldn't say that I knew all about it.
He also asked Richard, "Mr. Daddario, are you still working with your predecessor Da Mao?"
"Yes, the work over there is quite busy now!" Richard was no longer so shy this time, and said, "Just call me Richard!"
Are you not busy? I am busy digging a hole for Da Mao at the end. Of course, that Han Sheng didn’t care. He just said casually: "The work over there should be quite dangerous. I heard that the people over there are very fierce. It's evil. Why don't you come back to work, there are so many opportunities here.
Oh, by the way, I don't know what you are doing specifically, but I believe that if you are willing, you can always find a way! "
Isn't Richard here for this?
After working as an agent for so many years, I couldn't hold back my eyes.
Although his father used to be a member of Congress, he was only a member of the House of Representatives. He is still in a semi-retired state and is already in decline.
Therefore, even if he came back before, he couldn't get any good positions, and he could only go to his hometown to find some small officials to do it. That would be uncomfortable, and he was naturally not happy.
In the original time and space, it took him a long time until he was over 50 before he became the head of anti-terrorism in the New York Police Department.
But now, he is only 37, which means that he will have to spend fifteen or sixteen years.
That also means that in the original time and space, he has not been able to find a strong backer to hug the real thigh.
It's certainly not that he didn't look for it, it's just that he didn't find it.
Now, if Han Sheng is willing to help him, it will be different.
He had already inquired that little George and Han Sheng were like brothers. Moreover, Han Sheng had been helping old George to recuperate his body. Old George also liked him very much and valued him.
Then, as long as Han Sheng is willing to help, it will be easy for him to help him at the moment when Old George is about to assume the super prominent position of Grand Commander, coupled with his prestige in the intelligence department.
You can get a good position casually.
This was also the biggest reason why Richard had the cheek to come to him.
Han Sheng, that's the thigh he wants to hug!
(End of this chapter)
On December 1988, 12, although it was Double Twelve, there were no e-commerce discounts.
However, for Stanford University students, this day is happier than e-commerce discounts. It is very simple. Today is the beginning of Stanford University’s Christmas and New Year holidays.
From the 12th to January 1th of the next year, there is almost a whole month of holidays.
Like other students, Han Sheng and Elizabeth were also enjoying the joy of their school holidays, chatting casually while packing their luggage and preparing to go home.
"Gaotong has already received an order from Schneider Trucking Company!" Elizabeth smiled and told him the good news.
After the merger of Gaotong and Olinite, after nearly two months of R&D and production, the Omnitracs satellite communication system was produced a few days ago and handed over to Schneider Trucking Company for testing.
In the original time and space, Gaotong successfully got Schneider's order. This time, with the support of Benjamin and other big bosses, it will be easier.
Even, Victoria is still helping Jiaotong to find various trucking companies, and even some channels of the military to get more similar orders.
At this time, Owen also understood the benefits of relying on the boss. In the past, it was good for him to chat with a major in the military. Now the lowest is the brigadier general, and the other party is quite polite.
According to estimates, next year's orders may exceed 5000 million.
Although after the equity was diluted, it seemed to be reduced by half, but according to the current situation, it earned more, not to mention the valuation, which now costs at least [-] million knives.
Then his 20.00% equity is worth 5000 million knives.
Therefore, he is working very hard now, and even heard that he is thinking about CDMA in advance.
"What's going on with Benjamin and Maddie?" Han Sheng asked casually.
"Maddy is still unscrupulous, so it's already a public quarrel," Elizabeth said helplessly, "the principal can't help it. Although your family is deeply rooted in Stanford, Maddy also has two elders who are behind Stanford. The boss and the big benefactor...!"
"Everyone in your family knows about it, right?" Elizabeth asked him back.
"Yeah!" Han Sheng nodded. Even if he didn't say anything about it, even if Victoria didn't say anything, the headmaster, Donald, was someone who gnawed at your family, so he would report it.
"Victoria said that they have already talked with Maddie's parents, that is, the super senior senator, but the other party did not give any clear response. The donkey party's super family, the two parties have never dealt with each other.
What's more, the headmaster also said, after all, it's the pettiness of young people, and the old guys don't care that much...! "
"Oh," Elizabeth pouted.
The spirit of the young is terrible, because they are too young and too impulsive, unlike the old guys, they are very stable in everything they do, and they know where the bottom line is.
Han Sheng was happy to see the results. To be honest, they fought first, so he could justifiably intervene, and then stabbed the hook brand in the back.
While chatting, we packed our things.
After everything was ready, he and Elizabeth went to the three clubs they ran, distributed some Christmas gifts to the club members, and then turned around and went home.
This time it was still driving home. Elizabeth liked to watch the scenery along the way, which made people feel refreshed...
Therefore, Han Sheng still drove on the road.
Coming out of the dormitory, along the way, he met classmates who also went home. Han Sheng also greeted him with a smile. After leaving the school all the way, he started to speed up...
Because she only set off at noon, and Elizabeth wanted to see the scenery, she didn't arrive at her home in Los Angeles until almost eight o'clock in the evening.
"Put the things here first, and I'll clean them up for you later!" The seven or eight-hour car ride was also quite tiring. Although Elizabeth looked happy and excited, Han Sheng felt sorry for her.
"What do you want to eat, I'll make it for you?"
"Just eat whatever you want!" Elizabeth looked at him with a smile, "I'm actually not very hungry, you'd better take care of yourself first!"
"Then I'll make you sweet and sour pork...!" Han Sheng was talking, when Christina on the second floor yelled, "Vincent, are you back? Where's Elizabeth?"
Dalton had a holiday on the 10th, and Christina flew to Los Angeles on the day of the holiday.
"You go up first, they should be taking a bath, you should also take a bath, relax!"
"Yeah!" Elizabeth nodded, then jumped up and down the stairs like a little girl.
Han Sheng himself is also hungry. Although he ate a lot of chocolate, biscuits and cooked food, he still eats a lot. There is nothing he can do. His body seems to be still "growing". According to his current prediction, Probably until his adult appearance.
Of course, this is a good thing.
After making Elizabeth the sweet and sour pork ribs that she liked recently, and then made some other snacks, Han Sheng carried them to the hot spring bath on the second floor.
Seeing that Helena was also there, he was taken aback, "Are you here too?"
Helena snorted coquettishly, "Why can't I come, who doesn't know that I'm your girlfriend now?" Good guy, the moment she suddenly jumped out of the water, it really didn't feel like a light went off. What's the difference? It's really thrilling and beautiful.
Han Sheng was too embarrassed to look any further, and just yelled: "When did it happen? I haven't even held your little hand...!"
At this time, Christina curled her lips, "Then who knows if you have held hands before? Oh, yes, it should be said that holding hands is actually a trivial matter. The real important thing is that you peeked at other people...?"
"Who knows what it is?" Han Sheng complained, but he just didn't talk about watching the lights.
But Victoria directly pierced him, and said contemptuously: "See, this shameless person is so shameless, he doesn't talk about important things, obviously that--is the most serious thing!"
Well, with the four women here, even if Elizabeth just watched the play with a smile, Han Sheng couldn't stand it.
I originally planned to take the opportunity to go to the hot spring bath to give the beauties a good time, but now it seems to be delusional.
So, after honestly putting down the food, he turned around and left in despair.
However, Victoria was still flustered behind her, "Hey, don't you want to stay? You are not that kind of person, you don't take advantage of anything. Wow, Helena, your bath towel..., wow, it's really beautiful ...!"
Then Helena screamed on purpose, "Ah, why are you doing this, then I will take revenge too...!"
Han Sheng wanted to turn back, but he didn't dare.
Already even guessed it might be a trap, so held back.
I can only be ruthless secretly, Victoria, you goblin, wait for the young master, and see if I don't call you daddy when the time comes.
……
Although the school is on holiday, Han Sheng still has a lot of work to do.
In the United States, wage earners are not like students. They can only take one month off work, and wage earners only have one or two days off on Christmas Day and New Year's. They have to work at other times.
Although Han Sheng is not a wage earner, he wants to make money.
Making money doesn't matter whether you take a holiday or not.
On December 12, Mariah Carey and his new single, the famous Christmas song: "All I Want for Christmas Is You" were officially released, and this is also the day when Sister Niu's new album officially started .
The distribution is still handed over to Warner.
Although Mariah Carey is a newcomer, Han Sheng participated in this single, so Morgado still held a big press conference.
Then, unsurprisingly, Han Sheng became the protagonist again.
"Vincent, what do you think of your new girlfriend?" The unscrupulous "Hollywood Reporter" naturally asked an unscrupulous question.
Han Sheng smiled, he is not afraid of this anymore, it is very simple, just like in the original time and space, many people accepted that Xiao Lizi is a playboy, a person who keeps changing supermodel girlfriends, now, many people Know that Han Sheng is also a playboy, know that he has many girlfriends.
In short, it becomes natural to get used to it.
Of course, the newspapers are still happy to report it. The reason is that some people like to read it. Gossip and so on are human nature.
"I've said it a long time ago, she's a genius, the next super queen!" Han Sheng also pointed at NBC's Alberta, "Honey, remember the bet we made?"
"Of course, even if you win, I'd like to!" Alberta giggled, and many reporters who had experienced that incident were delighted.
At the beginning, Han Sheng made a bet with them, saying that if Mariah Carey really became a queen, then the reporters would have to say that Han Sheng was awesome on TV, magazines, newspapers and other media, and they were convinced.
Then if Han Sheng lost, he would agree to one condition.
Alberta's condition is to get out with Han Sheng once.
Although Han Sheng is popular, his relationship with the media is getting better and better, unless you deliberately target him.
"Others release new albums directly, and then use popular singles to play singles, but I think you seem to release new albums first, and then release new albums. Are you planning to create a new model?" Albert Although La is an idiot, he is really smart.
This year is just like what she said, everyone is used to releasing new albums and then making hit singles, even Michael Jackson is like this, and this is the consistent pattern of almost all major record companies.
And the later model of making hit singles and then releasing albums has not yet begun.
Han Sheng smiled and nodded, "I do have such an idea, and, I think, this will increase the popularity of the album faster."
"However, will this consume the content of the album in advance," the reporter of the "Los Angeles Times" asked: "Generally speaking, the singles that are placed are all hits, and they are the best songs in the album. Then, You may just buy these few hit singles, there is no need to buy the album!"
This is indeed the case.
Especially for some later singers, the album is the first wave of the flagship and you can still listen to it, and the others are basically rubbish.
Han Sheng smiled and said, "I don't know much about other singers or other record companies, but I can guarantee that the songs in the album for me and our company's singers are definitely not just a few hit singles... ...!"
He has the confidence to say this, because in his first album, all of them were in the top three, and there were as many as twelve songs that got the top single, that is, only two did not get the top single. .
Although this is the reason why he originally picked the champion in the original time and space.
Even most of them are more than two weeks.
But this also shows from the side that his album is awesome, and the songs in his album are good.
"Rolling Stone" magazine has said that he has set a new benchmark for so-called excellent albums, and thus re-established his status in the music industry.
……
Throughout the press conference, there were basically no questions for Mariah Carey.
If you don't ask, it's about her relationship with Han Sheng.
So, after the press conference, Sister Niu pouted, looking unhappy.
When he got to the office, he even sat in his arms and acted like a baby, "Are you sure you can be popular with me like this, I feel that everyone doesn't want to talk to me at all!"
"It's not that I don't want to talk to you, but because you are a newcomer and have no reputation.
If you are not famous, it means that no one wants to watch you. Naturally, they are not willing to report it, because it is related to how much they can earn. "
Han Sheng smiled and comforted: "You are much better than I was back then. I was still thinking about taking advantage of Michael's popularity, but he was not willing to publish reports at all, and even made all kinds of scolding...!"
Of course, Mariah Carey knew how miserable he was scolded at the beginning, and she was still in fear, "Tell me, what if I was scolded like that by others, me, my skin color...!"
"Your skin color is fine, it's very white!" Han Sheng laughed.
"Hate it, I'm of mixed race too, I'm of African descent," Mariah Carey said worriedly.
"Africans are much better than Chinese!"
Han Sheng didn't want to talk about this, so he changed the subject: "Don't worry, although there aren't many people interviewing you, there will be news about you everywhere tomorrow, even if it's because you're with me, but there will be.
Then, after the song becomes popular, your strength will be recognized, and then, you will be further accepted and gradually become popular.
Probably next year, after the first album, you will be very popular, and after two or three years, you will really become a queen...! "
"Really!" Mariah Carey didn't have much confidence in herself now.
It's very simple, her strength has been there for a long time, but she recommends herself in various ways, but no one is optimistic about her and helps her. In this way, everyone will have to worry about it, and gradually lose her self-confidence.
"Don't worry, just trust me!" Han Sheng smiled and patted her buttocks.
Mariah Carey smiled happily, and squeezed hard into his arms, slowly rubbed against his ear, and whispered, "Thank you, dear!"
"What I fancy is your talent!" Han Sheng laughed and said the most shameful words.
"Then why are you so energetic every time!" Mariah Carey bit her lip and giggled, obviously agitated, and teased him on purpose.
"Look, you're dishonest now!"
"That's what you provoked on purpose...!" Before Han Sheng finished speaking, Mariah Carey shrank back, and he couldn't speak anymore.
……
"All I Want for Christmas Is You" is known as the Christmas Divine Comedy for no reason.
It's just the time of Christmas, and with Han Sheng's blessing, good guy, he actually airborne to the top of the singles chart. This, even Han Sheng was stunned for a moment.
It's very simple. Although it is a divine comedy, in the original time and space, this song did not win the top single at that time, let alone the airborne top single, and finally won the top single, it was a certain Christmas after more than 20 years.
Well, no matter what, it is always a great thing to be able to airborne the championship.
Moreover, this time, unlike the movie "Pretty Woman", which had too many critics, after the song "All I Want for Christmas Is You" was released, it received unanimous praise from the critics.
"It seems simple, but it is a well-crafted work, and it is a rare great work in such a great festival as Christmas. "All I Want for Christmas Is You" will definitely become one of the most popular songs in Christmas in the future!" —Chicago Sun-Times, Thomas Connor.
"I don't think I need to say more about the instrument and the melody. Vincent did a great job and maintained the super high level he has always been. What I want to say is that he is only a supporting role in this song. Of course, he did it on purpose. Yes, he gave up the leading role to the so-called future queen Mariah Carey who he personally discovered.
To be honest, the current Mariah Carey is definitely not a queen, but from this song, through her timbre, singing, etc., we may see a trace of a queen! --Steve Morse, The Boston Globe.
"One of the best songs of the last decade, one of the holiday anthems, a timeless classic that will surely become a song that citizens of the country are familiar with and are used to humming...!" Sasha Frere, The New Yorker.
"Maybe that's why Vincent boasted that Mariah Carey is the future queen. She sings really well. Her voice is clean and full of energy. Her performance is sincere but gorgeous. There is no doubt that she really has the talent of a queen." , the next one is probably just a matter of time...!" "Los Angeles Times" Lawrence.
……
The airborne champion received rave reviews, and Warner took the opportunity to make an effort.
All of a sudden, the streets and alleys were filled with the singing and melody of "All I Want for Christmas Is You", making the atmosphere of Christmas even more intense.
Under such circumstances, naturally, the sales of the single are also overwhelming.
A week later, it directly broke through 500 million. Although Han Sheng had a huge bonus for this, there is no doubt that the coincidence of Christmas is also a very important factor.
The song is good and the sales are good, Han Sheng and the others are too busy.
I took Mariah Carey to various promotions, and I was busy until noon on December 12th. The year before the year was considered to be a temporary end, er, I have to continue after the year.
Mariah Carey is finally starting to catch fire now, especially her red Christmas outfit is very popular, and even advertisers have come to her door.
Therefore, taking advantage of the holiday, she returned home with a rare smile, ready to have a happy Christmas.
After Han Sheng sent her home, he also returned home.
Christmas, of course, is going back to my new home on the Upper East Side.
Although I am of Chinese descent, I do as the Romans do when I go to the country, so I have prepared various Christmas trees and the like at home.
As soon as he arrived at the door, his father happened to be standing in the vestibule looking at the snow scene. Seeing him, he asked with concern, "Why did you come back? Your mother is still planning to call you?"
"It snowed heavily in Boston yesterday, and I couldn't move on the road at all. I just stayed at Victoria's house for half a day, otherwise I should have come back last night!"
As he spoke, both his mother and Elizabeth heard voices coming out.
While taking things from the car and the trunk, he said: "This is a gift bought by Victoria and old Harris for you, and I can't refuse it. Find your own, there are too many...!"
"What do you mean you can't refuse?" Han Zheng scolded, "Besides, this is too much, so you can't take less!"
"It's a big family, that's not too much!" Han Sheng said with a smile.
Han Zheng wanted to say more, but Julia pulled him, and he stopped.
Only then did Julia say; "After two days, I'll buy some return gifts and send them over!"
Americans don't pay attention to what kind of return gift, she is according to the Chinese custom.
Han Sheng said with a smile: "No need, I bought gifts when I went there, not to mention, I will buy them in a few days, Christmas is already over!"
"That's all right!" Julia was much more open-minded now.
Perhaps, she could also see that Victoria, who came back with Elizabeth a few days ago, was thinking about the baby son at home. In that case, as a mother, she still has reason to be arrogant.
While chatting, they moved the gifts piled up like a hill into the living room.
The living room is less than a hundred square meters, it's super big, and that little gift is not a problem.
Then, the two women, Julia and Elizabeth, happily picked out gifts, while Han Sheng chatted with his father about company affairs, daily life and so on.
"After the Chinese New Year, my martial arts gym will open, so you should come back then!" Han Zheng said.
He also knew that the children from New York who signed up were all looking at Han Sheng's face. Of course, he also recognized his son's strength. He learned some true meanings of Jeet Kune Do, and his strength became stronger. .
Although it is okay for him to teach temporarily, the cards still have to be raised.
"Well, can you let me know in advance?" Han Sheng nodded, "It looks like two or three days in advance, I'm super busy in January, National Music Festival, Golden Globe Awards, Oscar nominations, Grammy nominations, etc. Wait, and then the old George Grand Commander will take office, and I have already been notified there..."
These are just big things, small things and Jennifer Aniston's new film "Before the Dawn" is going to the Sun Denis Film Festival, which is also in mid-January.
Han Zheng also knew that he was busy, so naturally he would not blame him for saying advance notice, and nodded, "I also know you are busy, so I booked the 8th, and you should still have some time then!"
"That's no problem, I'll be free first!"
Han Sheng didn't want to talk about these work matters with his father, so he casually chatted about other daily life, "Are you still used to it here?"
Han Zheng gave a rare smile, "I'm pretty much the same as before, except that your Uncle Lowe comes over occasionally, and Mr. Edward Wilson sometimes pulls me over for a drink or something, but it's your mother, it's terrible now, old man I'm popular, I hang out with various wives every day, sometimes I don't come home every day...!"
Now that my mother quit, Julia curled her lips, "What do you mean by being away from home every day? Don't you just feel that no one cooks for you? Heh, I have been serving you for almost 20 years, and I have always treated you like an idol." So, He Zhe, I will have to wait on you forever.
Besides, your name is almost the same as before, you have started to learn to play golf every day, and what club do you go to with that guy Edward, I heard there are many beautiful girls there? "
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Han Zheng couldn't hold back any longer.
"What am I talking about, don't think I don't know what you were like when you were young," Julia snorted softly, "When you were young...huh!"
It was Elizabeth who gave her a tug, and she thought about taking Han Zheng's face into account, so she didn't say much.
He just casually threw a package to Han Zheng, "Your, it seems to be that old-fashioned pocket watch you like!"
Han Zheng wisely didn't say anything.
After unwrapping the presents, find a place to put them away. It gets dark quickly in winter, and the sky outside looks already dark.
For Americans, Christmas Eve on the 24th is very important, similar to Chinese New Year's Eve. After Han Sheng's cooking skills have improved, he will be in charge of the meals as long as the whole family is there for the holidays at home.
Today is the same, although it is Christmas Eve, there are turkeys and the like, but there are also big fish and meat that are common to Chinese people, as well as various cold dishes that he carefully prepared.
The family of four made a mix of eight dishes, one soup and a few dim sum.
When it was finished, it was almost seven o'clock, and everyone gathered around the table to eat happily together.
There is no such thing as burning incense to worship ancestors.
On the contrary, Han Zheng, as the parent, said a few words about everyone's hard work for a year, and wishing everyone good health and progress in their studies and careers in the coming year.
After all, the Han family is still used to celebrating the Chinese New Year, and even Julia was gradually assimilated.
Moreover, it has been agreed this year that during the Spring Festival, everyone will still live in Chinatown, and then, when the time comes, they will have a lively time with their grandfather and uncle.
……
There have been huge changes this year. Although everyone is still trying to be steady and calm, there are more or less changes. While drinking and eating, the conversation gradually begins.
It wasn't until almost twelve o'clock in the middle of the night that they each went to rest.
You know, their family is used to going to bed before eleven o'clock.
Elizabeth didn't want to sleep yet, although she was a little drunk, she was lying in his arms, "Let's go to the attic, I want to see the snow?"
Their large house had an attic on top of it, which Elizabeth liked so much that sleeping quarters were arranged in it.
Han Sheng carried her up to the top.
Turn on the light a little bit, lie on the thick cushions and quilts in the attic, look out the side window and the night and snow above the head, even if it is dark and not very clear, it is still a very beautiful thing.
Elizabeth seemed a little cold, her back was turned to him, and she curled up in his arms.
Han Sheng's warm breath was next to his ears, it was a little itchy, but it was very warm and made people more attached, and he shrank a little into his arms, grabbed his hand and hugged himself tightly, before saying quietly: "This year the changes are good. Big, it feels like a lifetime has passed...!"
"Life is still a long time!" Han Sheng smiled slightly, "This is just a trivial beginning!"
"But this may be an achievement that no one else can achieve in their lifetime!" Elizabeth said with a trace of emotion. She never expected Han Sheng to be so successful at the beginning, and her goal all along was to earn a little money as soon as possible, and then make life at home better. stand up.
"By the way, I have already settled with Victoria for the money from Bantam and Warner... Bantam's is 1200 million, and Warner's is 1600 million. The total is more than 2800 million!"
"It's a little less," Han Sheng said with a smile.
Elizabeth thumped him lightly, "It's a lot, don't be too greedy!"
In the first issue, Han Sheng got more than 2200 million from Bantam, and from Warner, he even got more than 4000 million. Sure enough, whether it was a novel or a record, it was the most expensive thing to buy at the beginning. , especially his strategy of making big hits in the early stage.
However, the global profits of Bantam have not been divided, and there are more. Even, there are still many places in the world that have not been spread, such as small countries in Europe, some ordinary countries in Asia, and South America.
Bantam is now only paved with developed countries in Europe such as Sandezi, French Chicken, British Shit Stirring Stick, East Asian Neon, Stick and so on.
In short, this is about to usher in an explosion next year.
You know, "Harry Potter" has sold tens of billions of dollars worldwide, so where is he?
Then, Warner settled the sales of the previous three singles and some albums, and the sales of the hit singles in the subsequent albums did not start to be settled.
As for the share of the movie "Pretty Woman", well, let's talk about it in June next year, that's still very early.
"Take the money for now!" Han Sheng said.
Elizabeth is still secretly working on the operating system, and the money needed will only increase. Of course, it is still enough for the time being.
Then, he will not stop making money. Next year, that is, in 89, he will release new albums, movies, and the new albums of Sister Niu and the others. In short, when 92 and 93 come, He has to make adequate preparations, accumulate enough money, and then have a stud, the biggest piece of cake during the explosive period of the information industry.
……
While chatting, the two of them gradually fell asleep.
In the early morning of the next day, Han Sheng was afraid of disturbing Elizabeth who was sleeping in his arms, so he rarely got up to practice.
When it was almost eight o'clock, Elizabeth opened her eyes in a daze.
He found that he was lying in Han Sheng's arms.
And it seems that there is something..., not very comfortable.
She was not stupid, and her face turned red immediately.
But seeing how honest he is, I know he's not to blame.
Then he turned around slightly and looked at the white world outside after a night of heavy snowfall.
Han Sheng hugged her tightly again, sniffing her breath greedily, "It snowed so much yesterday!"
"Well, it's so beautiful!" Elizabeth murmured, and squeezed into his arms again. Although she was a little shy, the feeling was charming and intoxicating...
The two of them watched in silence for almost half an hour, until his mother Julia called from downstairs, "Honey, are you still sleeping, or you should get up and have breakfast!"
Elizabeth was not hungry, but Han Sheng couldn't stand it anymore, his stomach was rumbling, Elizabeth couldn't help but thumped, then gave him a light thump, and said softly, "Get up...!"
……
December 12th is Han Sheng's 26rd birthday.
This year, it's also Monday, the day the new week's movie box office comes out.
Just like in the original time and space, "Pretty Woman" showed the most domineering posture. Although it did not grow against the trend in the second week, it has only dropped by less than 10% since the second week.
1724 million in the first weekend, 1681 million in the second week, 1569 million in the third week, a drop of only 6%, and then beat the just-released "Rain Man" starring Tom Cruise, well, "Rain Man" In the original time and space, it is not a box office explosion type, it is a relatively long-selling type.
Therefore, "Rain Man" is not even the second place, but was overwhelmed by "Dragon Brother and Mouse Brother" released last week, and ranked third, but the difference is very small. "Dragon Brother and Mouse Brother" was 778 million US dollars Knife, while "Rain Man" is 706 million.
Then, in the fourth week, that is, last week, "Rain Man" finally counterattacked, but it was "Dragon Brothers and Rats" who counterattacked. "Rain Man" got 985 million, while "Dragon Brothers and Rats" only got 691 As for the box office champion, it is still "Pretty Woman", which only fell by 10.8%, and received 1303 million US dollars.
Unlike in the original time and space, where "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" was always overwhelmed, in this time and space, "Pretty Woman", which had no rivals, won the box office championship for four weeks in one fell swoop, and it seemed that there would be another show next week.
Therefore, those guys who have been preparing to wait for "Pretty Woman" to plummet in the entire film critic circle have directly closed themselves off.
Warner was crazy about it.
Nicole Kidman was also very excited, and called early in the morning, "Honey, you are simply too great, you are simply a god, my God, they say that the box office trend of a movie like this has not been achieved in the past ten years. This is the first time.
Now most of the movies are the most popular in the first week, and a drop of 30.00% in the second week is considered a hit. My God, our fourth week is only a drop of less than 30.00%...! "
"I'm so happy, you still have the Golden Globe and Oscar!" Han Sheng laughed
"Well, I really don't know what to say, thank you so much, honey, thank you for everything, oh my god, I almost forgot to say happy birthday to you... really It seems to be by your side, I want to do everything I can to please you and make you happy, that, your little baby misses you again, you know!"
Good guy, I'm so excited that I'm a little incoherent.
Han Sheng laughed, "Where are you?"
"Um, I'm in Los Angeles!" Then, someone next to Nicole Kidman screamed: "Ah, we miss you, we're coming to New York now, you wait for us!"
That Meg Ryan's voice.
Then, Nicole Kidman said: "Why don't we come over to wish you a happy birthday? We have a lot of people here, so we should be able to let you enjoy the most exciting happiness...!" Laughed and chatted very much.
Kindness is hard to come by, what else can Han Sheng say.
……
The 16th birthday is still very important. It is considered a semi-adult. You can get a special driver’s license and you can drive. Although he used to drive all kinds of blatantly, the police always turned a blind eye. eye-catching.
Of course, the most important thing is that he has now gained identity, wealth and status, so everyone will be at home for Christmas, but after Christmas, when he celebrates his birthday, many people come.
Edward Wilson, Rodriguez, Thompson, chairman of the New York Judicial Committee, and others who are nearby will not say, that is, old Harris, Hoffman, Spielberg, Warner, Bantam Waiting for people and forces, either sent people to come, or came in person.
Then, the still young George, the really young Daniel, William, Chandler, Blair, Harrington, Alexander and others also came, and they all came on behalf of the family.
Of course, Victoria was the representative of old Harris. It wasn't that old Harris didn't show face. It's a little exaggerated for him to have such a big status on such a small birthday.
Then Mariah Carey, Jennifer Aniston, Jen who was originally a New Yorker also came.
The only thing that surprised Han Sheng was that Richard Daddario came with his wife and daughter.
"I didn't have time to thank you for helping my daughter last time. It's really a bit rude!" Richard was even more polite this time.
This, in addition to the fact that old George has been elected as the commander-in-chief, there are also reasons why Han Sheng has a different status.
Han Sheng pretended not to know, "I didn't know you were living in New York?"
"We live on the side of 82nd Street, very close!" Mrs. Richard, who is also named Christina, said with a smile: "And we mainly live here. The last time I went to Washington for business!"
"That's it, I thought you were living in Washington!" Han Sheng naturally wouldn't say that I knew all about it.
He also asked Richard, "Mr. Daddario, are you still working with your predecessor Da Mao?"
"Yes, the work over there is quite busy now!" Richard was no longer so shy this time, and said, "Just call me Richard!"
Are you not busy? I am busy digging a hole for Da Mao at the end. Of course, that Han Sheng didn’t care. He just said casually: "The work over there should be quite dangerous. I heard that the people over there are very fierce. It's evil. Why don't you come back to work, there are so many opportunities here.
Oh, by the way, I don't know what you are doing specifically, but I believe that if you are willing, you can always find a way! "
Isn't Richard here for this?
After working as an agent for so many years, I couldn't hold back my eyes.
Although his father used to be a member of Congress, he was only a member of the House of Representatives. He is still in a semi-retired state and is already in decline.
Therefore, even if he came back before, he couldn't get any good positions, and he could only go to his hometown to find some small officials to do it. That would be uncomfortable, and he was naturally not happy.
In the original time and space, it took him a long time until he was over 50 before he became the head of anti-terrorism in the New York Police Department.
But now, he is only 37, which means that he will have to spend fifteen or sixteen years.
That also means that in the original time and space, he has not been able to find a strong backer to hug the real thigh.
It's certainly not that he didn't look for it, it's just that he didn't find it.
Now, if Han Sheng is willing to help him, it will be different.
He had already inquired that little George and Han Sheng were like brothers. Moreover, Han Sheng had been helping old George to recuperate his body. Old George also liked him very much and valued him.
Then, as long as Han Sheng is willing to help, it will be easy for him to help him at the moment when Old George is about to assume the super prominent position of Grand Commander, coupled with his prestige in the intelligence department.
You can get a good position casually.
This was also the biggest reason why Richard had the cheek to come to him.
Han Sheng, that's the thigh he wants to hug!
