Chapter 73 Aerospace and Skunks

"Wise choice, they are born to stand on the opposite side of Washington, and the personnel are mixed, irritable, and often cause trouble,

Once you bear the identity of the leader of freedom, it is easy to be used by those who want to, and then no matter what troubles you have, they will be counted on you, the boss.

It's also hard for members of Congress and the Washington team to warm to it..."

Ben appreciates Li Zitao's choice. Although the boss is often unreliable, he can always recognize his identity and position at critical moments.

"The McDonald's franchise in BOSS, IL is 80 percent complete, and Bechtel is taking over the construction of Subway,

The construction of the Avenue of Stars went smoothly, because it is positioned as a symbol of the city, and the Los Angeles authorities still hope that the Chamber of Commerce can be under the supervision of the government. "

"Where's the Star Theater?" Li Zitao nodded and asked.

"The construction of the stage is completed, and the main body of the guest seats is expected to be completed by the end of the month." Ben glanced at the notebook in his hand.

"Make sure of the progress, let Aimo discuss the matter of the chamber of commerce. I heard that Louis is being overwhelmed by her?" Li Zitao unconsciously smiled when he said this.

"Aymo didn't know how to persuade Douglas to sue Louis for racial discrimination after he got the other party over.

He was entangled in one lawsuit after another, and Douglas took the opportunity to poach the wall. In just half a month, there were not many judges left in the academy. "

"En." Satisfied, Li Zitao thought about it and said, "The funds in my hands cannot be invested in Hollywood at present. Let Aimo set up a brokerage company and sign contracts with actors as an independent third party.

For us, there are no factions, only the script and the price, using public opinion to hype the actors under the name, the company solves all the troubles for the actors other than acting,

Such as selecting high-quality scripts, finding better resources for them, maintaining the positive image of actors, as well as publicity and public relations, itinerary and other arrangements,

A superstar like Douglas arranges a brokerage team of 3 to 4 people to serve him 24 hours a day.

Some other stars arrange 1~2 managers according to their fame. If there are new signings, 1 agent can lead 4~6 people at the same time.

Select some unimportant resources for them, and then select the most potential key training from them. The detailed regulations let her discuss with Douglas and give him 5% of the shares. "

"..." Hold the grass, can you still play like this?

Ben couldn't help but give a thumbs up. In his opinion, Paramount's first signing with actors was already a pioneering work in film history.

Who knew that just a random idea from the BOSS could throw the opponent away by countless blocks.

Those who can become the academy's judges are first-class actors with fame, prestige, and status in Hollywood.

If they become third-party independent actors who do not rely on any party, then they will immediately become the targets of major companies from their subsidiary status.

We're not MGM actors, we're not Paramount actors, we're just ourselves.

Whoever has a good film contract and who has a high salary will accept the film contract. While expanding the reputation, the film contracts that can be contacted will be larger and wider.

Superstars without any "marks" on them are also full of temptations for big companies, like a check that can be cashed at any time.

No matter in which era, the appeal of superstars is amazing, and the essence of filmmaking is nothing more than fame and fortune.

The combination of superstar and capital is the best guarantee for both fame and fortune. In a vanity fair like Hollywood, who would have trouble with money?

"The name should be DreamWorks." Li Zitao said casually.

"Boss, here is the plan for charity. In addition, we have won 53% of the shares of FSC, and we can declare it as the owner."

Ben took two papers from his purse,

After handing the first copy to Li Zitao, he opened the second copy and said, "Regarding the aircraft industry, this is a high-quality industry selected by the think tank."

Charity is inevitable. Not only can it offset taxes, but it can also bring him a lot of prestige. "It's time for a wave of positive energy."

The think tank's plan is to build 60 public libraries across the United States at a cost of about 2 million dollars, and select 120 orphanages for donations, with a cost of 1.2 million dollars.

The cost of opening 20 relief stations is about 60,000 US dollars per month. The think tank's suggestion is to open them for a long time until the United States overcomes this economic crisis.

Li Zitao and Ben have communicated many times about the plan to focus on the west of the industry in the future, and this time the charity will also focus on IL and CA (California).

Li Zitao had no doubts about the above points, but when he saw the last one, he frowned unconsciously, "What kind of condition is it to allow two orphans to board?"

"Boss, choosing to be a host family will help your reputation among the poor, and you will gain friendship from many middle-class families,

In the United States, 46% of middle-class families have been hosts. "

Hearing Ben's reason, Li Zitao recalled the scene in front of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Li Zitao's mind, and the shock brought to him by those people from middle-class families.

"...only two?" Li Zitao looked up at him.

"Only two." Ben responded with a firm nod.

"Okay! I agree." Since there are benefits, let's do it according to the plan!

Anyway, District 22 is so big, and his house has always been empty with two rooms. If it's just two little guys, it shouldn't be a problem, right?

"Old Huang has to work hard again." Li Zitao mourned for 0.1 second in his heart.

Let him take care of the two children. It would be better to kill him. Li Zitao is still a child, so he can only trouble Lao Huang.

If it's too troublesome, it's a big deal to spend money to hire a nanny.

After signing at the bottom of the document, Li Zitao took another document and looked at the entire row of 7 companies listed from top to bottom.

"What are the characteristics of this company?" Li Zitao asked, pointing to one of the names.

"The Detroit Aircraft Company... If you insist on the advantages, they tried to form their own research and development organization before bankruptcy, and they have technical talents in this field."

"What about the other six companies?" Li Zitao asked.

"They are all small companies that went bankrupt due to the economic impact. The greatest value is a complete production line and a large number of skilled workers." Ben said.

These are all due to bankruptcy, and the main body is about to be auctioned by the bank. I didn't choose a large aviation company because what Li Zitao wanted was to hold a controlling stake and do independent research and development.

"Detroit has a factory in Santa Barbara, right?" Li Zitao said.

"Yeah, that's another small company they bought earlier," Ben said.

"All acquisitions, mergers with Santa Barbara as the main body, the name is... American Aerospace." Li Zitao signed his name at the bottom of the document.

"Okay." Ben was able to ignore the boss's habit.

"After the merger is over, the Skunk Works R&D Center will be established. I need to see the results as soon as possible." Li Zitao can't wait for the special plane.

Originally, he planned to make a choice among the large companies in the market, but now that he has dabbled in it, it is better to wait and take care of his own business.

"A large plane?" Ben asked a little speechlessly.

Ever since he knew that Li Zitao wanted to build a huge flying toy with a height of five or six floors and wings longer than a stadium, Ben fell into deep helplessness.

Does he know how much manpower and material resources will be consumed, and even if he invests heavily, there is a high chance that he will not see any return.

"No." Li Zitao rubbed his chin. Considering that the national defense license was not yet available, he decided to make a business plan first, "Invest in research and development of flight engines first."

Ben breathed a sigh of relief, but the engine is much easier than the previous whimsy.

"How is your contact with the University of Chicago?" To be ahead of the times, Li Zitao needs a lot of outstanding talents.

"We're in contact." It was a bit of a headache to mention this matter.

Maybe geniuses and scholars are lonely. After several contacts and repeated conditions, Ben did not recruit a doctor in the field of aviation.

They would rather stay in the academy to teach and do boring experiments than to join an airline with a promising future.

Please don't pay too much attention to the details that the company has no shadow yet.

"If poaching the wall doesn't work, let's change the method and reach a cooperation agreement with them. When we need assistance, the other party will be responsible for helping to overcome the problem.

All patent rights must belong to us, and we provide an annual donation for their daily experimental consumption and laboratory expansion. "

It's nothing strange to be rejected, he's not the king of persecution, Chen Beixuan, his body shook, and he knelt and licked all over the world.

Geniuses are lonely, can you be called a genius without any eccentricities?

"For example, I like to name the company!" Li Zitao thought shamelessly.

"Has there been any response from the DuPont consortium recently?" The recent wave of protests has intensified, and Li Zitao declined the suggestion that Morgan should mediate.

Those are all favors, the most difficult debt in the world to pay is the debt of favor.

"No, David has calmed down since the reports spread all over the world." There was a sarcastic sneer in Ben's eyes.

These people only dare to play those dirty tricks behind their backs. The BOSS trip to New York probably frightened them all, right?

In Chicago, SHIELD can grasp every step of the mafia leaders in New York. I am afraid that the two families are still in a state of panic!

As far as I know, the recent guards of Kendy and Dupont Manor have increased by 5 times, poof——

Thinking of this news, Ben couldn't help but want to chuckle, "A bunch of dirty rats."

"Charlie, Charlie, are you home?" When the two were discussing the details again, Lawrence called from downstairs.

"Upstairs, come up!" Li Zitao handed the document to Ben.

"Boss, I'm leaving first." All that needs to be said has been said, and Ben has to go back to the think tank to get the plans started and ensure their smooth implementation.

"Hi, Ben." Lawrence and Ben met each other.

"Hi...the boss is inside, I'm leaving first." Ben waved and left with a smile.

"Did you get the family property?" Lying on the creaking spring bed, Li Zitao looked at him amusedly and asked.

"Don't mention it." Lawrence, who was in high spirits, collapsed in an instant, and the changes before and after were like the decline from Wang Lihong to Nicholas Zhao Si.

"It's agreed that you won't go out unless you have property?" Li Zitao said contemptuously.

"Charlie, I came here for you, you heartless fellow." Lawrence sat on the edge of the bed with resentful eyes, and said as a little girl.

"Ouch, stay away from me." Li Zitao retched strangely, and moved to the side.

"FK, damn bastard, if you look at me like that again, you will definitely regret it." Lawrence gritted his teeth and stared at him.

Then two tickets appeared in his hand, and he said proudly and threateningly: "The opera master from Huaguo, do you want to go see it?"
