Wall Street Legend

  Chapter 330 Rejection

  Probably a seasoned fisherman, otherwise he wouldn't have installed a sonar.

There are many fish resources in the waters of California. The east, west, and south of the United States, most of the states are close to the sea, and almost no one will eat freshwater fish. Knowing that a group of big guys are coming, just a few hundred meters away, the captain immediately turned off the engine. , A group of crew members carried buckets and poured a mixture of various meats and animal offal into the water.

  Throwing the rod, pulling the line, all in one go, Ye Dongqing has fished before, maybe the technique is not very good, but he knows how to do it.

The first fish was caught a few minutes later by Mr. Cook. It was a hairtail with a bright white body. It was still alive when it first came out of the water, and soon stopped moving. This kind of fish is easy to die, so it is almost bought in the market. Hairtail that is less than alive is very suitable for charcoal grilling.

   Just pull the fish up, and of course someone will take the fish off the hook and re-bait it.

Afraid of losing the fish, Mr. Cook just said thank you, and then threw the bait into the sea again. Ye Dongqing also caught the fish. When the door opened, there was a giant grouper, which is what people call a giant grouper. It weighs more than ten pounds, and it took more than ten minutes of stalemate to pull the opponent to the side of the boat. According to Mr. Geffen, if it was two months earlier, when the sea water did not heat up, this kind of fish would rarely appear in California. In the northern waters, it is a fish that likes warm water.

Taking photos is a must. I took a few photos with the fish in my arms and asked someone to send them to me. Ye Dongqing continued fishing with a thick cigar in his hand. He was more or less drunk. He caught a fish grandson Sometimes he even uttered a bad word, but he threw the palm-sized squid back into the sea.

Time passed by, and more and more fish were caught. When Mr. Geffen was so lucky that he started to play with a yellowfin tuna, no one cared about his bait anymore. I couldn’t catch this fish. Although it’s not the more precious bluefin tuna, it’s good to meet yellowfin tuna. Unfortunately, this fish is not big, less than one meter in size, which made Geffen lose interest. Even wanted to break the line and let the fish go.

  Ye Dongqing was not polite, and volunteered to take the fishing rod. When he successfully caught it, his legs were sore. People found ice and put the poor tuna on it.

Except for the crew who ran before and after, no one cared how much these fish were worth. Tude was just for fun. After the temperature gradually rose, a group of people sat in the air-conditioned cabin chatting and drinking watermelon juice. Helping with grilling fish on deck for some sandwiches.

Mr. David Geffen was very patient, so he brought the topic to business, and told him: "Leo, I recently came up with a good idea about the Internet industry, are you interested in partnering with me? "

This is a business, and no one else interrupted in an instant. Ye Dongqing had already learned some general information from Mr. Cook. At this moment, she pretended not to know, and said: "Oh? I know this business better, you plan to do it. what?"

"Movies, and music, I know a lot of big business owners, and I can do it with them, use the computer to sell movies and music, just listen to them and watch them on the computer. My youngest son mentioned this idea to me at the time. I was just thinking why it didn’t come true? I’m sure I’ll make more money than I do now if I take them to share, and I think as long as we do a good job of operating and promoting this area, we’ll definitely be able to make money.”

  Geffen actually doesn’t know much about the Internet industry. Like other wealthy people in their fifties, he just wants to succeed again and pass the time by investing.

Ye Dongqing had already figured out a way to deal with it. He was not too optimistic about this area. He shook his head and said with a smile: "I think you have found the wrong person, sir. You should contact Tim for music. Apple has a project that specializes in food delivery. Music, for the idea of ​​online movies, I can put you in touch with Netflix, which is now the best online video distribution company in the world, very experienced in this field, and might be happy to add an additional department.

I also founded a video sharing platform. Unfortunately, the network transmission speed is too slow and the technology does not meet the requirements. Some people may be willing to buy them, but they can’t watch them smoothly. In addition, the rental market is very developed and the prices are very low. , People may not be comfortable watching movies on a small computer screen, as if the disc is stuck, and often freezes, which will definitely cause trouble. "

   It sounded very professional, and David Geffen could understand it. Before he found Ye Dongqing, he also conducted a market survey, and the conclusion was also not optimistic.

Don't think that major companies invest huge sums of money in making movies just for the box office. The global box office is important, but the movie is not useless after the release period, and there are still people who will watch it. Helping film and television companies can make a fortune from it, and most of them are continuous income.

Some movies don’t perform very well at the box office, but they are very suitable for the rental market. Compared with movies, long-episode TV series are more profitable. Take the already complete sitcom "Friends" as an example, it can still earn tens of thousands of dollars a year. This is why investors are willing to spend a lot of money to make movies.

Mr. Geffen did not insist on his own ideas. He inexplicably believed that Ye Dongqing's vision must be more professional than that of a layman like himself. I thought I could make a difference in the Internet market. As for the cooperation with Apple, I am already helping Tim contact the record company bosses. You should treat me to a big meal. After all, you are Apple major shareholder of the company."

   "Haha! Of course, call me anytime you want something to eat!"

Ye Dongqing doesn't want to talk too much about the topic of cooperation. The project has already been sentenced to death by him. According to Bonnie Ma, Tencent is trying to get involved in this area, but the model that suits China may not be suitable for the United States. People are used to it. Instead of sitting in front of the computer, sit on the sofa and watch dramas on the TV.

The topic changed, and when it came to models and stars, except for him and Mr. Cook, most of them were in Hollywood, and they had more common topics. It would not be boring to listen to it. If you get a venereal disease, for example, which top actress recommends a pillow seat for an opportunity, it's more about who made money from investing and who lost money.

Considering the influence of Mr. Geffen, Ye Dongqing also deliberately mentioned his relationship with Laura, hoping that he could help give her a few opportunities to appear in DreamWorks movies. It was nothing more than helping each other during the time, so they agreed on the spot, saying that they would arrange it when they went back.

The efficiency was very fast, and I caught some more fish in the afternoon. As soon as I got back to the hotel in the evening, I received a call from Laura, saying that I was notified to go to DreamWorks to audition for a supporting actress in a movie, and asked Ye Dongqing if she would like to come together to play...
