American Peanuts

Chapter 46

"Hey, young man." Maple approached with a smile, his voice was very loud.

A voice attracted everyone's attention.

Charlie stood up, followed by Saul, and several other employees also stood up, responsible for site maintenance, distribution of goods and handling emergencies at the two sales outlets in New York. , including Jeta.

"I invested in this hotel and it will be credited to my account later." Maple said very generously.Of course, this little money is nothing to him.

"Isn't this inappropriate?" Charlie responded with a smile, his face reserved.

Maple shook his head: "There's nothing inappropriate about it."

"Thank you." A smile suddenly appeared on Charlie's lips.

Seeing this smile, Maple suddenly felt a little scared.

"You did a good job. You know, I'm actually very interested in magazines, but when I woke up, you, a country bastard from Utah, snatched them away."

Maple said bluntly, then stretched out his hand.

The classic handshake?

Maple has a strong body and is in good physical condition. His life of bells and whistles makes him look about 50 years old.

Charlie stretched out his hand, and the two held their hands together, shook them twice, then twice, and then twice...

Seeing that the two of them were as reluctant to let go as their half-brothers, a group of people around them looked at each other, especially Ivanni.Her father always bullied others like this, but this was Charlie, and she wanted to stop him.

On the other side, Thor was suppressing a smile, as if he had a premonition of what would happen next.

Maple's expression was relaxed at first. After a few seconds, his expression changed and began to become serious. For another two seconds, his expression was solemn and his brows were furrowed. For another two seconds, his face was livid and his expression was stiff.

"Ouch!" Maple howled in pain, her eyes closed tightly like a crying baby, her expression was really ugly.

"Sorry, Mr. Mape." Charlie smiled and let go of his arm.

Maple gasped. He felt that his bones were about to break. He was numbed by waves of severe pain. He quickly held his wrist, arched his whole body, and took two steps back.

"Are you okay?" Charlie asked deliberately.

After all, he was a respectable person. With so many people watching, Maple could only break his teeth and swallow it.

"It's okay. God, young man, your hands are really strong." Maple said pretending to be relaxed, with his right hand quietly placed behind his back.

At this moment, he believed those rumors a little bit. Looking carefully at this man with broad shoulders, fully propped up his suit, and a tall and straight figure, he had a good skin.

"Sit down." Charlie patted Maple on the shoulder and said like a master.

When you are thick-skinned to a certain extent, you can use other people's money to treat guests quite naturally.

Then Charlie looked at the eldest princess and took the initiative to walk over and open his arms.

"I love you so much, baby, you're so cute."

Ivanie was a little embarrassed: "Welcome, Mr. Rossi."

When a man says the word "cute" to a woman, he usually praises her sexual attractiveness in bed.

Thinking about a man who met him for the first time and said to himself, "You are so cool", you can understand why Ivanie felt embarrassed.

But she politely opened her arms and hugged Charlie.

Maple on the side looked at this scene as if there were ants crawling all over his body.

Hey, take your hands away!

Veneers are just veneers. What do you mean by hugging your waist?
The episode of the first meeting passed quickly, and Mep, Ivanni and another three of his subordinates joined the dinner.

"That's right, I have a program production company, and the program has been renewed by NBC." Hearing Charlie's inquiry, Mape said.

"Actually, we don't have any feuds between us. If we have money, we can make money together." Charlie said suddenly.

"Model agency, do you want me to join you?" Maple became interested.

With Spielberg and David Geffen at the helm, it’s a good business no matter how you look at it.

"How should I put it? I have always welcomed friends. But in business, business is not about human relationships. You can enter the game, but you have to spend the corresponding capital, whether it is money or resources. Otherwise, even if I agree , the other two people will not agree."

"I understand this. I can invest, provide venues, and provide opportunities." Maple put his hands on the table.

To be honest, he did show sincerity.

Straight forward, not so many twists and turns.

"Charlie, I am an old friend of PB. I have a good relationship with Rosenzweig. We were on the cover of the magazine ten years ago. Our cooperation will be quite pleasant. Of course, I have some opinions about you before. Admit it. But now that I have seen you with my own eyes, my mind has changed, and I have to take back what I said before." Mape continued.

Then he raised his glass, clinked it with Charlie, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Since you said so, let me tell the truth. You have a good relationship with Hugh Hefner, right?" Charlie said suddenly.

Maple put down his glass and quickly explained: "Oh, half of his legs have already entered the graveyard. He is out. We have to look forward."

"Very good, but the agency is not currently considering adding shareholders, but we can jointly create a reality show. You provide the team, and I provide the content and creativity. Have you seen "The Bunny Next Door"?"

This is a late-night reality show produced by ABC. The main content is to record the shameless daily life of Hugh Hefner and three women in his luxurious estate at the end of Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles.With the change of ownership of pb company, this cooperation also came to nothing, which Rosenzweig had regretted before.

Maple narrowed her eyes and showed a special smile that all men know. You must know that "The Bunny Next Door" is the leader in late-night ratings. If Charlie is the protagonist, the ratings may be even higher.

He nodded: "This sounds more reliable than a brokerage company. Have you found the producer?"

Generally speaking, television stations are the main investors in this type of reality show.

"We are our own producers and can cooperate with different TV stations on different programs. This is just the beginning."

When you have people, you have to find a way to be seen by the audience. Various reality shows are one of the ways of exposure, and they can also make money in themselves.

As long as this tentative work is successful, TV stations will line up to place orders.

In order to ensure the effect, Charlie was going to do it himself, so he followed the pattern of "The Bunny Next Door".

Maple whistled.

"This business is imaginative enough."

Fortunately, I followed here...

Now he understands why Charlie became famous in such a rapid way. It is really unreasonable for such a person not to make money.

"Also, I want to invite Ivani to join my company and work under me." Charlie looked at the big blond baby next to Mape.

"Ah? Me?" Ivanie was putting a piece of broccoli into her mouth, and she didn't understand why she was talking about herself.

"Yes, I need you."

"No!" Mep immediately interrupted Charlie.

"Ivanie is the vice president of the company, and the company needs her. Even if God comes, I can't take her away, I said." His tone was gloomy, even startling Jetta who was sitting not far away.

He vaguely guessed Charlie's purpose.

If you want to steal your home, there is no way!
