American Peanuts

Chapter 13 Change is imminent
Saul looked over and saw two women following Charlie. One was a tall blonde girl carrying a huge musical instrument, which looked like an acoustic guitar.

The other one was fully armed, with a scarf covering the lower half of her face, the upper half of her face covered by sunglasses, and a silk scarf wrapped around her head, making her look like an Arab woman.

The two of them watched the pedestrians around them furtively, like wanted fugitives, fearing that they would be discovered.

"Hello, Ms. Faith, I am Charlie's lawyer, my name is Saul. I am your loyal fan and have a complete set of your albums at home." He walked over and introduced himself.

Faith raised her sunglasses and smiled kindly: "Charlie told me about you. You are a very good lawyer. Thank you for getting Charlie out of the Nashville Police Department."

"This is what I should do." Sol said flatteringly.

Tyler was last and saw Charlie approaching.

Tyler had to admit, Charlie was really handsome.My skin is good and I never have a weird smell.The face is clean, just like the fresh and natural slightly salty sea breeze on the Florida coast, making people feel refreshed.

"This is your ticket, business class." Charlie handed her the printed ticket.

Charlie never treats his people badly, and even Saul's assistant does not need to sit in a cramped and crowded economy class.

As for himself, he is naturally in first class. The difference between first class and business class is not only the space, but the most important thing is that the service of the stewardess is more considerate.

"Boss... I have something to tell you." Taylor suddenly sneered.

Charlie suddenly understood what she wanted to do, and after thinking about it, he decided to realize her little wish.

He exchanged his tickets with Taylor's.

"Yeah, you are the best boss in the world." Taylor jumped up happily and wanted to kiss Charlie on the face.

After boarding the plane, Taylor separated from the four people.

Sol originally bought a double seat for the master and apprentice, while he and his assistant sat next to each other, separated by a national highway.

The seats were located in the corners of the cabin, with Faith sitting in the window seat and Charlie sitting outside.

When the plane began cruising at a fixed altitude, Charlie called the flight attendant.

"Do you have any magazines here? PLAYBOY magazine." Charlie said without hesitation.

"Yes, sir."

"Better get me a few more."

The flight attendant heard such a request for the first time and nodded awkwardly.

A few minutes later, a thick stack of magazines appeared in front of Charlie, some of which had been turned to their curls, and the cover was covered with oil.Charlie picked up one and flipped through it like no one else was there.

Although he has made many videos about the magazine and the company behind it, Charlie has not seriously read the original magazine.At that time, he couldn't chew this large section of English, and the language barrier was automatically lifted as he crossed over.

There is nothing mysterious about the magazine. It is just a fashion magazine with special ingredients. It is not essentially different from the domestic "XX Outfits", "Fashion Illustrated" and "Ruili".

To sum it up in one sentence: a fashion magazine is an editor with a monthly salary of 20 yuan teaching readers with a monthly salary of [-] yuan how rich people with a monthly salary of [-] yuan spend their money.

However, with the vigorous development of social networks, the way information is disseminated has changed. It seems that magazines are no longer needed by people, and are gradually being forgotten in the corner, and will eventually be thrown into the display shelf called "history".

In its previous life, the company suffered from a sharp decline in its magazine business and delisted in 09.

It can be said that change is imminent, as for the specific method of operation...

Charlie was lost in thought.

At this moment, Faith turned her head and silently grabbed Charlie's hand.

"I heard you asked Taylor to open Twitter?" she said casually.

"Yes, as the Internet speed becomes faster and faster, the era of mobile Internet is coming, and social networks will be widely popular. I must plan in advance..."

Speaking of this, Charlie suddenly paused.

In essence, when I, including Taylor, register for various social networks, I am making wedding dresses for others.

Why not build a social platform yourself?At its peak, Facebook was valued at nearly a trillion dollars.

Charlie had subconsciously abandoned this idea before.Internet companies burn too much money in the early stage and must bring in investors.

And now it has lost its first-mover advantage. FACEBOOK currently has more than 500 million users.

If you want to break through, you have to change your approach.

Capture the first batch of users through vertical fields.

In short, it is to focus on the development of a single field in the early stage. In the early stage, Bilibili relied on Ershenyuan, and Douban relied on "literary style", which are both vertical.

And the vertical field of my company-LSP.

Charlie's thoughts gradually opened up, and a prototype gradually formed in his mind.

Finally, he came up with a fancy name for his potential social network project: Palace.

·
"The plane is about to arrive at its destination, Chicago O'Hare International Airport..." As the broadcast prompt sounded, Faith was awakened.

Only then did he realize that he had been leaning on Charlie's shoulder.

"Seeing that you were sleeping soundly, I didn't want to wake you up." Charlie called the stewardess and handed the magazine back to her.

Faith first kissed Charlie on the cheek and then stretched.

When the group of people walked out of the cabin, they saw Taylor waiting not far away.

"The chairs in the first class cabin are just like those in the spaceship, and they also have massage functions! It's so cool, and there's salmon in the simple meal." Taylor looked excited.

"Maybe it's rainbow trout?" Charlie reminded.

"Salmon can be written on the ingredients. If it is fake, Mr. Saul can sue Northwest Airlines." Taylor waved his fist.

The cheerful atmosphere of the discussion did not last long. As soon as they walked out of the security gate, they saw a dark crowd of reporters rushing over like a tide. With the spotlights flashing fiercely, it was almost impossible to see the road ahead clearly.

Charlie has met many people during this trip, from the staff in the departure hall, to the cleaning staff, or the staff at the airport store. In short, anyone may leak information.

Charlie thinks he should really carry a pair of oversized sunglasses with him.

Faith's outfit came into play, and no one loved wearing sunglasses.The only one affected was Taylor, who hugged her guitar, covered herself, and trotted, which, I have to say, was a little cute.

Several people walked out of the airport lobby under cover, and got into the pre-arranged Maybach VS980, which is Mercedes-Benz's top business MPV. There are six aviation seats in the back row, and it is also equipped with a 43-inch LCD TV, front and rear partitions, Even if Charlie took the girl on a happy trip in the back row, the front row couldn't hear it.

After a while, Sol's cell phone rang.

"I'm Saul. Are you all here? Okay, I'll notify him right away." Saul held down the microphone and moved his head closer.

"William called. The management of the group is waiting for you to go over for a meeting. I guess you have bad intentions. How about tomorrow?"

William is Charlie's professional manager and has been staying at the headquarters these days.

"They already know that I have arrived in Chicago. Doesn't the evasion now mean that I am afraid? Tell William to come to the company immediately." Charlie was originally going to officially go to the company tomorrow, but he didn't even have a place to stay in Chicago.

But now I’m being fooled. If I don’t go now, how will I be able to work in the company in the future?
