Chapter 57 The Island Project
On Christmas Eve, Angel Media booked the largest living room in Yannan JW Marriott Hotel as the main venue for the celebration.

Actors and industry colleagues who have participated in film production are all invited.At the same time, the CEOs and representatives of other media companies in the Yannan circle were also invited.

There are 500 people in one room, which is definitely a huge handwriting.

Holding the world's No. [-] box office record, An Qi and Li Zhongda, representing Angel Media, took advantage of this opportunity to actively communicate with their peers in the industry in Yannan City.After harvesting countless compliments, the stomachs of the two were also full of wine.

Lu Nan sat among a group of Beiying students, accepting everyone's congratulations and blessings with a happy face.After a round of drinking, his entire bald head turned red.

Everyone's faces were full of joy of harvest, and there was a lot of excitement between pushing cups and changing cups.

Only Wu Tao sat at the main table and accompanied Su Tong to taste the food quietly.Occasionally, there are bosses or important representatives introduced by An Qi or Li Zhongda. He just raises a glass with the other party symbolically to show that he is not greedy for drinking.

After clinking glasses with her manager Song, Xu Tianqi returned to the main table and said enviously, "Tongtong, you are so happy. Seeing that Mr. Wu even refused to entertain for you. The bustling and noisy room is full of people, and you are so happy." Compared with the warm little world of the two, it suddenly pales in comparison."

When Su Tong was told this, his pretty face was full of shyness and said: "My Xu Tianhou, if you want to do this, a man who is willing to accompany you to live in a small, warm world, wouldn't you go to the ends of the earth?"

"That's different." Xu Tianqi said: "Mr. Wu is the only man in the world who cares so little about his career but treats you in every possible way."

"Okay, Xu Tianhou, seeing you praise him, he will be proud." Su Tong raised his glass and invited, "I thank you for your generous praise on his behalf."

After clinking glasses, the two girls got together and whispered.

Wu Tao happened to be free, and immediately ate like no one was there.Not long after, Fang Ting and two other artists who had participated in the film came over with cups.

"Mr. Wu?"

Wu Tao bulged his mouth full of Australian lobster meat. Looking back, he saw Fang Ting who was stunned. She smiled and said, "Isn't it scaring you?"

Fang Ting waved her hand in a daze and said, "Mr. Wu, are you very hungry? If you are very hungry, eat first. We will come to toast you later."

"No need." Wu Tao swallowed the lobster meat in his mouth in twos and said: "This Australian dragon meat is not bad, you should try it out later." He raised his wine glass and said: "Come on, I wish you three good luck in your career in the future It can get hotter and hotter.”

The three of Fang Ting hurriedly bowed over to clink glasses, and then drank them all in one gulp.

The lively celebration party didn't start to dissipate until around ten o'clock.Su Tong supported the staggering An Qi, Wu Tao guarded him, came to the parking lot, and got into the cayenne.

The car started and drove out of the JW Marriott Hotel, and the security vehicles of Fang Yong and others followed immediately.

In the carriage, Wu Tao, who hadn't drunk much, had already dissipated the alcohol and drove steadily.Su Tong sat in the back seat with An Qi, the smell of alcohol filled the entire carriage, An Qi was a little drunk.

Su Tong felt sorry for his best friend, and couldn't help complaining: "Look at you tired An Qi, a girl, drinking like this!"

Wu Tao said without apology: "I'm planning to hand over Angel Media to her management, this time it's time to practice in advance!"

An Qi heard the sound, suppressed the swell of alcohol and said: "No, you must not entrust this burden to me. If it falls into my hands and becomes as calm as before, I will be guilty of it." It's big."

Before Wu Tao could speak, Su Tong took the lead and said, "An Qi, you are so unconfident, what can you do? Amber still expects you to take over as soon as possible. In my opinion, Wu Tao's arrangement for you is also a good intention."

An Qi fell silent for a moment, and said after a while: "I know that you have good intentions, but I am only suitable for specific affairs. Let me lead the overall situation, and it is not enough time."

Wu Tao said with a smile: "So let you be the general manager, and I will be the chairman! If you have any problems, you can ask me, and I will make decisions."

"That's what you said, don't think about throwing all the problems to me." An Qi drank her saliva, woke up a little and said: "Let's talk about the work of the North American and European publishing branches. How to arrange it? You can't let them eat their wages for nothing, right?"

Su Tong thought about it and said, "I heard that the average wage level in the United States is not low. So many people get their wages for nothing, which is indeed a big expense. If it doesn't work, just cancel it first, and wait until there is a new film project, and then build it?"

Wu Tao shook his head and said: "This is not possible, absolutely cannot be abolished. Layoffs will not only require payment of compensation, but also destroy the distribution network that has been established with great difficulty. In fact, this is not difficult. In the morning meeting, you also mentioned Now, the film’s peripheral and extension projects are starting to work. Then there must be a lot of potential in the North American market, and the European market is no exception.”

Angie's eyes lit up.

Wu Tao continued: "In addition, you can sign the foreign actors of this movie to the branch company. No matter how much you earn, at least you can maintain the business. Going further, you can sign some potential rookies to the subsidiary company, such as Develop and train them like the headquarters, and sooner or later there will be rewards."

"But this way, we can't guarantee a profit. In case of a loss, how can I explain to you?" An Qi hesitated.

"It doesn't matter if you lose a little bit. Think about how much cost we have saved in the distribution of the movie this time? Besides, these two branches will be of great use to me in the future."

In fact, these two publishing branches are the first step in Wu Tao's globalization strategy.Naturally, there is no reason to take back the foot that has been stepped forward.

But An Qi asked without knowing it: "What is your great use?"

A flash of light flashed in Wu Tao's mind, and he remembered the original idea of ​​a technological island.

Isn't now the best time to buy an island?

First of all, he has enough money. At present, the most expensive island sold in the world is only 8000 to [-] million US dollars. This amount of money is only a small part for him, and it will not cause too much damage to the subsequent deployment of the intelligent robot industry. influences.

Secondly, with his current status, it is not enough to attract the attention of the national strategy, and it is more convenient to act.In this way, the motives of both parties are more pure in terms of buying and selling islands.

Otherwise, after the intelligent robot project is launched, the whole world will know that he is the originator of intelligent robots, and they will definitely compete to win him over.At that time, due to the particularity and sensitivity of the identity, if you want to buy an island again, you will inevitably be tied up and it will be difficult to do so.

Thinking of this, Wu Tao made up his mind and said: "An Qi, please inform the North American branch to keep an eye on the island resources in the Western Pacific for me. Also, this matter must be handled as a top priority!"
