New York 1988

Chapter 187 "Inception" (for subscription)
No one is a fool.

Many people knew about Xinton's visit to Han Sheng.

Especially the two big brothers of the Peterson family, Rainer and Phelps, were afraid that Han Sheng would reach an agreement with Sinton, which would put them in a passive position, so Rainer, who was in his eighties, still ran over quickly .

"I have to apologize to you on behalf of Robert. What he did before was too much. I think, maybe after I become the patriarch, I will give you some compensation!" Reina sat beside Han Sheng gently, saying no Whether it hurts or not.

"No need!" Han Sheng said: "Robert has passed away, the dead are the greatest...!"

"You're such a big-hearted kid," Reina praised again. Han Sheng was already very upset with this attitude.

Renner also said, "I heard that Xinton came to look for you?"

Han Sheng raised his eyebrows, "That's right, he said he was murdered by his brother, so he needs some help!"

"That's impossible, at least I won't do that, he's my own brother!" Reina said, but asked again, "Can I know his conditions?"

"What do you think?" Han Sheng scolded him unceremoniously, who are you, you have a big face, and even told you the conditions, it's because of your age that you didn't coax you to leave.

Reina was embarrassed for a moment, but then he laughed, "Well, I also have a proposal here!"

After a while, "I heard that you have always been interested in Wells Fargo Bank. In this way, if I become the patriarch, I will consider selling a part of the equity to you at a price of about 30 knives?"

"30 dollars?" Han Sheng sneered, and deliberately said: "You are just like your brother, sorry, 30 dollars is too expensive, even if it is 20 dollars, I have to think about it!"

He was setting off a smoke bomb. It seemed that the target was 20 dollars, and then he said that Hinton was about 30 dollars, and because of this price, it seemed that he and Hinton did not reach a cooperation.

Sure enough, Rainer laughed, "Haha, can we still talk about the price!" He thought he had figured out the truth from what Han Sheng said accidentally.

Han Sheng remained calm, "The price of $30 is nothing to talk about!"

"However, 20 knives is too low!" Reiner started to practice Tai Chi, and then talked about it for about ten minutes at this price. Finally, he talked and thought about it, and then went back.

He was probably planning to procrastinate until he became the boss himself.

Next, the youngest Phelps also came.

Interestingly, perhaps because he has always wanted the relationship with Wells Fargo Bank, so the overweight is the equity of Wells Fargo Bank, and then the price is also 30 knives, but, Phelps said, he can sell 20%, so that he can directly become Wells Fargo's largest shareholder.

In addition to the so-called, some equity that Han Sheng may now absorb, should be able to control Wells Fargo Bank.

However, the answer given by Han Sheng is still the same, $30 is too expensive.

Then, after the wrangling, Phelps left too.

……

All three brothers have been here, and next is Daniel.

"Why are you here?" Han Sheng pretended to be puzzled.

Daniel rolled his eyes, "The old men think that you may have secretly reached an agreement with their three brothers, so let me find out!"

Han Sheng laughed, "Aren't you a traitor now?"

Daniel spread his hands, "If I don't tell you, you won't be able to guess it, how much you look down on your IQ," then waved his hands, "Whether there is a consensus or not, don't tell me!"

"You are like this, but I am very embarrassed," Han Sheng said happily.

"Fuck you, will you be embarrassed? If it were me, I wouldn't be embarrassed. We are both smart people." Daniel knew him too well, so there was no need to come to those imaginary things, but they would hurt each other friendship.

This is what Han Sheng admired him the most, or the reason why he felt that he could be his best friend.

Unlike Benjamin, this bastard really tried.

Then Han Sheng said directly, you guessed it, it would be impossible to make him jump.

Obviously, it doesn't mean that Daniel doesn't think about the family, but Benjamin is more shrewd. To put it bluntly, he is a little snobbish.

Han Sheng doesn't blame him, after all, everyone is different.

However, it will gradually be distinguished.

It is said that the first 30 years of life are to make friends, and after the age of 30, it is to distinguish real friends and do subtraction.

For him too.

……

Rainer and Phelps thought they had stabilized Han Sheng.

The Rousseff family and the Niyoudi family don't know the plot.

Then, Hinton, a little old man just over 60 years old, began to show his thunderous means.

In a week, he directly recruited those who are knowledgeable, and those who are not knowledgeable are either killed directly or driven away. Then, during the family meeting, he forcibly pressured others to recognize his identity as the boss. At the same time, he also Completed the promise to Han Sheng, transferred 37.6% of the equity to Han Sheng at a price of 100 billion knives.

This price can only be said to be par in 09, and there is even a premium.

However, in these years, the price is extremely low, and everyone is dumbfounded.

At that time, when the listed company issued an announcement saying that the transaction was completed and the actual controller had been replaced, there was no uproar in the market, but it was calm and scary.

Quite simply, for ordinary shareholders, their interests have not been damaged.

Instead, after Han Sheng took over, the stock price, which had dropped to $35, instantly rose to $50, and it continued to rise.

Therefore, this is a good thing for them. Except for the loss of the interests of the Peterson family, other shareholders benefit.

Then, for other family forces, including the Rosev family and the Niyou family, if Han Sheng didn't get it, it would naturally try to obstruct it in every possible way, but it's all in his hands, what a fart.

What's the use of saying that he took it by force? Instead, he offended Han Sheng, especially now that Han Sheng is getting more and more powerful.

That being the case, it is better to play dead and pretend that nothing happened.

In other words, it has already happened and it is over, it is useless to say anything, the more you talk, it seems to be disgusting yourself and making yourself more uncomfortable.

As for Han Sheng, would he care, he would just laugh and despise all of you.

Then the ordinary people are quite lively, but the media, including ABC, CBS and other TV stations controlled by Han Sheng, including the "Los Angeles Times", "New York Times" and so on, just briefly reported it, like a statement When it is a fact, then, ordinary people can't do anything to be too lively.

So, what was originally a shocking event passed away so peacefully.

Of course, it was quiet outside, and Han Sheng's family was still happy.

Victoria was so happy that she took the equity transfer agreement she had just signed and screamed at Han Sheng.

Finally got it, it's still such a low price.

I was planning to give up, and wait until 09 to start.

Who knew it would be so bright.

"Bastard, did you fool me before, and then you did it yourself by poking at me secretly!" Her physical strength is super good, and she twists super vigorously.

Han Sheng just enjoyed it and teased her fat lamp, "No, it was really an accident, I just wanted to avoid long nights and dreams!"

"Liar, I don't believe you!"

Victoria also said: "This time the equity is all in your hands, I don't have any, it's not fair!"

When the equity agreement was signed, it was Han Sheng's name, which meant that the equity was all his.

Han Sheng smiled speechlessly, "You can take it if you want. By the way, speaking of fairness, you can return the equity of the pharmaceutical group to me. That has a market value of more than 3500 billion knives. How much is mine!"

"Don't even think about it, why do you want so much money?" Victoria giggled triumphantly, "I can't let you have so much money, you idiot, you accidentally gave it to those bad women, Elizabeth said you have to be a pauper, Then we will take care of you!"

"Don't talk about Elizabeth," Han Sheng chuckled, and gave her a slap in the face, making her scream, "Elizabeth said that we should give all of our property to me, so that it won't be bad if we disperse it in time!"

"Bah, no," Victoria, the vampire queen, was willing to take out what she got, even if it was her own. However, thinking about how happy she was with so much money, if it was gone, even if it was in Han Sheng's hands, It also feels empty.

Then, he started acting coquettishly with Han Sheng again, and started bargaining, saying that he would give him 10% at most.

Han Sheng was just teasing her.

It seems that Elizabeth still has the greatest influence.

……

In the blink of an eye, May, when the summer vacation is approaching, "Inception" starring Han Sheng is about to be released.

Charles Theron played his wife, so she will go to the premiere today, but before that, she caught Han Sheng in the huge dressing room at home, and went crazy for a long time.

Playing like crazy, he even reached out to Han Sheng, "Master, is it time to pay?"

Han Sheng angrily held her down and gave her a hard pump.

In other words, ever since he became the big boss of Wells Fargo Bank, a group of women are really all kinds of monsters, and asking for money is a routine operation.

How to put it, in the past, no matter how rich he was, the big guy just thought it was a number, but now that he has a bank, it feels completely different. It feels like all the money in the bank belongs to him, and his money seems to be his own. It's really there.

It is this kind of perception that makes women particularly excited.

It felt like I owned a bank, so I often joked with him and acted like a baby.

"Tch, cheapskate, it turns out that all the bankers are vampires," Charis giggled, having a great time playing with him.

Finally, he pestered him again, "I'm going to check out the underground safe of the bank, and then lie down there and have a good sleep, oh, it's so beautiful to think about!"

Han Sheng looked at her speechlessly, "You have at least 20 billion knives, take out all the money, and put it in the room, just lie on it and sleep!"

"That's different, and then, you still have gold in the bank, wow, gold!" The more she said, the more excited she became.

It made Han Sheng feel very speechless, but of course, he was also a little cute.

At this time, Kelly Brook just came over.

The two of them are about the same age, and when they were filming "Pirates of the Caribbean", they often went crazy together, so the relationship is very good.

"Wow, our banker!" It wasn't the first time that Kelly Brook had joked with him, and she approached him with a smile.

In the end even Charis went crazy again.

When it was almost six o'clock, Han Sheng took the two of them to the Los Angeles International Studios. Because Murphy bought this place capriciously, it became the premiere venue chosen by Beyond Entertainment for its films.

Needless to say, after owning Wells Fargo Bank, others look at him differently. It seems that he was a pauper before, but now he suddenly became rich.

Helen from ABC even joked with him, "Congratulations, Vincent, you finally have your own business!" Then everyone laughed.

In the past, the pharmaceutical group was in the hands of Victoria, and the technology group was in the hands of Elizabeth. It seemed that he was just a noob.

Only this time, in the information of the listed company of Wells Fargo Bank, the name of the controlling shareholder is him, which is very conspicuous.

Han Sheng also joked, "Yeah, I have finally become a rich man, so I have decided not to make movies in the future, and I am going to rest!"

This time, the big guys panicked and asked questions one after another.

Han Sheng then said: "No, after this year's "Inception", next, probably next year, we will have another movie called Avatar, but it will be released without me starring in it. That will be a big surprise!"

"I can even predict here that the box office will start at least 25 billion knives!"

Wow, all of a sudden the big guys got excited and asked questions one after another. However, Han Sheng naturally stopped talking and didn't want to say more. He only talked about the next "Inception".

……

On May 5th, Friday, when most of the students had already had their summer vacation, "Inception" was officially released globally simultaneously.

In North America, "Inception" opened in 4252 theaters. In the three days of the weekend, it hit a box office of 2.6 million. Then, in the second week, something interesting happened, and "Spider-Man 3" came.

Well, originally, "Spider-Man 3" was planned to be released on the 25th. Who knew that the release date of "Inception" announced by Han Sheng was also on the 25th. This feels like deliberate bullying.

It's very simple. In the past, movies starring Han Sheng himself were usually released around July 7, the National Day.

What's more, everyone knows that he doesn't get along with the Neon people, and the Neon people hate him to death.

Then, this "Spider-Man" series is not weak either. The first and second parts both exceeded 8 million dollars. "This kind of superhero has a wide audience in the United States.

So, although Sony didn't dare to face Han Shenggang once, they secretly put it in the second week.

How to say, generally the movie will plummet in the second week, and the number of people watching will be much less.

This is true even for blockbuster films.

Especially in this day and age of fast food consumption.

So, Sony wanted to give Han Sheng a sap on the weekend of the second week, relying on the popularity it had accumulated before and relying on the appeal of "Spider-Man".

At that time, under the box office squeeze effect, it is very likely that starting from the second week, the box office of "Inception" will be weakened a little bit, and the effect of finally making "Inception" fail.

Of course, it is almost impossible to fail too much, but it is still possible to fail a little.

In other words, based on the original time and space, "Spider-Man 3" broke out with a record of 1.52 million US dollars in three days on weekends, it is really possible to squeeze the box office of "Inception".

However, without Han Sheng saying anything, Tess and the others could see Sony's sinister intentions.

They were also bad, and on Thursday of the second week, all kinds of negative news suddenly began to spread overwhelmingly.

Let’s still take Neon’s previous bad deeds, such as buying the United States, bombing Pearl Harbor, and robbing the jobs of American auto workers, etc.

The Han family now has CBS and ABC TV stations, as well as newspapers and magazines including the Los Angeles Times, Internet sites such as Yahoo, and information delivery tools such as ICQ and Facebook. of.

When it gets dark, it's really cruel.

It truly embodies the power of the uncrowned king.

Good guy, when Sony was hesitating whether to withdraw the file in time, it was too late. On Friday, in the original time and space, "Spider-Man 3" won 5982 million dollars that day.

However, in this time and space, there are only 3521 million dollars.

Then, on Saturday, there should have been more than $5000 million. This time, it was only $2629 million, and Sunday was even less, $2282 million.

In other words, it is more than 8000 million knives, but compared with the original time and space, it is directly cut in half. The bigger problem is that the first week of this kind of superhero movie is super important, that is to say, fast food consumption is very serious .

The production cost of "Spider-Man 3" was 2.5 million knives.

Although it is definitely impossible to lose money relying on peripherals, but as far as the box office is concerned, it is definitely a loss.

As for "Inception", although it plummeted by almost 40.00% in the second week, it still took 1.6 million.

Moreover, the reputation of "Inception" is overwhelming.

On Rotten Tomatoes, it has an average rating of 360 out of 8.6 reviews.The site's keywords: "Smart, innovative and thrilling, Inception is the rare summer blockbuster that succeeds both viscerally and intellectually."

Another movie review site, Metacritic, gave the film an 42 out of 81 based on 100 critics, and the audience surveyed by CinemaScore gave the movie an "A" average.

Variety's Justin hailed the film as "a conceptual tour de force," writing, "Taking vivid procedural detail to the immensely complex yarns of the subconscious maze, writer-director Vincent The Surrealists designed a heist thriller"

IGN's Jim Wijwoda rated the film as perfect, calling it "a remarkable achievement for a filmmaker who only gets better with each film"

David Rock of "Rolling Stone" called it Han Sheng's "greatest achievement", saying: "Visually, intellectually and emotionally, "Inception" is a masterpiece, even surpassing His most iconic "Titanic"!"

And then there's Empire magazine, which gave the film a full five stars, writing, "It feels like Stanley Kubrick is adapting the great science fiction author William Gibson... Courtesy Vincent Another true original: Welcome to an Undiscovered Country.

Lisa Schwarzbaum of Entertainment Weekly gave the film an A+, writing, "It's a rolling exploding image, like anything in an MC Escher painting or a commercial video game." The images are dreamlike and beautiful.

Roger Ebert of the "Chicago Sun-Times" also did not hesitate to give the film a full score of four stars, saying that "Inception" is "about the process, about the process by surrounding reality and dreams, Fight in dreams that are real in dreams and that have no reality in dreams.

It's a breathtaking sideshow. "

Richard Roper of The Sun gave "Inception" an "A+", calling it "one of the best films of the 21st century" and saying "Inception proves People are not stupid, movies are not crap, so-called blockbusters and artistry are entirely possible to coexist...!"

PS: I wish everyone who is single can find someone to confess to today!
