Chapter 93 Dinner (1)

Yang Cheng just made a joke, and didn't really want to hear the female reporter's answer. She organized her words in her mind, and said into the microphone, "Today is the press conference of the forum company, I hope everyone will focus on the company, and Not my personal feelings."

After a pause, he cleared his throat, "As for the relationship between Ms. Ke'er and me, I can only say that the two sides are still in the running-in stage. Whether there will be further development in the future, it will take time to prove."

Eddie co-operated as a cover, "Okay, this is the end of this question, and I won't answer questions about personal relationships, next one."

He casually pointed to a male reporter in the front row, "This gentleman."

"Thank you, Mr. Yang, hello, I am a reporter from the New York Times. I have two questions. First, it is well known that the forum company has huge debts. Has Mr. Yang found a new direction for profit, otherwise how can he rely on pure advertising revenue to repay the debt? debt?

Second, Mr. Yang has kept a low profile before. Why did he suddenly choose to stand on the front desk with a high profile? What kind of ambition does he have? "

Yang Cheng smiled and signaled to the reporter, "Thank you for your question. Let me answer your first question first. Since I dared to spend huge sums of money to acquire the forum company, it must have a plan. In fact, I have had contact with Eddie, the CEO of the forum company. , He is also willing to stay in the company after seeing my overall plan for the company. As for what the plan is, I hope everyone will pay attention to the forum company, and will see it soon, and be willing to accept and use it. "

"Does Mr. Yang's 'it' refer to a certain product?" The male reporter just sat down and stood up again and interjected.

"You can also say that." Yang Cheng said something specious, and then answered the question just now, "About your second question, I can only say that you think too much."

"hehe..."

Laughter reappeared in the venue, and they found that this young Chinese had a sense of humor, which was much more relaxed than the business leaders they had interviewed.

The press conference lasted for more than an hour in such a harmonious atmosphere. Yang Cheng and Eddie took turns answering all kinds of tricky questions raised by the reporters. Even though they were sitting all the time, they were exhausted in the end.

Under the protection of the bodyguards, Yang Cheng escaped from the crowd, quickly took the elevator back to the office, and spread out on the sofa as if in a sauna, "Susu, turn down the temperature of the air conditioner."

"Oh." Susu was molested by Yang Cheng before the press conference, and she is still in a daze.

After a while, Eddie and Ruiz also came to Yang Cheng's office as if fleeing, picked up the tea on the table, and drank it down regardless.

After hiccupping, Eddie smiled and said, "Boss, today's press conference is considered a success. The forum company has not had such a grand occasion in many years."

"Well, it's really good. By the way, have you arranged the small gifts for the reporters?"

"They were all sent out, and they all left with a smile."

"That's good. All I have to do is tonight's dinner. After that, it's up to you, Eddie, to see how far the forum company can go."

"Boss, don't worry, I will never disappoint your expectations."

Ruiz has been a spectator from the beginning to the end today, his head is full of the acquisition of Lionsgate, immersed in his own thoughts, he didn't even hear Yang Cheng call him.

"Ryze~Ryze~boss is calling you." Eddie kindly patted Ryze's arm to remind him.

"Sorry boss, I was distracted." Recovering, Ryze hurriedly apologized.

Yang Cheng waved his hand, "It's okay, what are you thinking? So obsessed?"

"I'm thinking about Lionsgate. The Expendables 3 will be released soon. I don't know if the box office will go up or down as we expected." Ruiz said truthfully.

"This is beyond our control. How many shares have we acquired so far?" Yang Cheng put his legs on the coffee table, took off his tie and wrapped it around in his hands.

"About 8%,

A considerable number of shareholders still have expectations for The Expendables 3. Ruiz also expressed dissatisfaction with the slow progress.

Yang Cheng smiled and comforted, "Take your time, in fact, this is gambling. Shareholders bet big, we bet small, and movie audiences are dealers, who wins and who loses depends on the audience's thoughts, that Mark Laches How are you doing?"

Ruiz savored the metaphor of Yang Cheng carefully, and felt that it was quite vivid, "After pulling the line for me, I devoted myself to the release of The Expendables 3, and did not give up. I got 3 groups of audiences to participate in the preview meeting. What is the result? It’s not yet known, but the secrecy work has been done well.”

"I don't think there is any difference. Why don't we make a big publicity? Keeping it secret just proves that he has a guilty conscience." Although Yang Cheng has never worked in marketing, she somewhat understands it.

Take movie promotion as an example. Generally, they will seize an impressive memory point in the movie to carry out viral and brainwashing soft advertisements. The reason why The Expendables 3 failed is because the whole movie has no memory points. The fighting is indeed hot, but who remembers it after seeing it?

No one will go to the cinema to see how Stallone plays with guns and how Statham plays with knives for the second time.

In addition, action movies are declining now, Stallone is old, Jason Statham said that Potian is only the king of B-grade movies, and the rest of the so-called action stars, if they are not fans of action movies, they can’t even name them, and the novelty is early. After the first part was exhausted, no matter how I looked at it, I didn't see that The Expendables 3 had any hope of a comeback.

"Besides, James Dessers from Focus Pictures is a tough guy, and I had a hard time with him." Ruiz rarely showed a dejected expression.

Yang Cheng was suspicious, "Did you find any black information about him?"

"I found it, but this guy doesn't take threats at all, as if he doesn't care about his scandal being exposed." Ryze's lamentation amused Eddie.

"Ryze, don't be like a woman who failed in the favor."

"Fuck off, don't you know James Deserts? Why don't you go talk to him?" Ruiz was not convinced.

Eddie raised his hand and said innocently, "I have already said that James Deserts is a very difficult person to deal with. Besides, the forum company still has a lot of matters waiting for me to deal with, so I can't leave."

"Okay, okay, I'll settle this matter, I'll fly to Los Angeles after the dinner tonight, Ruiz, send someone to follow me." Yang Cheng once again experienced the plight of no one under his command, it's a big deal He, the boss, has to do it himself.

. . . . . .

On a summer night, the heat enveloped the earth, the bright moon hung high in the sky, and the sparse stars blinked mischievously.

Outside the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in Manhattan, there was a constant stream of traffic, and customized Rolls-Royces of various colors lined up to carry their respective owners to the venue.

Different from the party held by Yang Cheng last time, the people present today are all social elites who have achieved fame. Most of the young people are with their family members, and under the arrangement of the adults, they make contacts.

Yang Cheng, who arrived at the scene early, and his female companion Lin Susu tonight stood outside the banquet hall to welcome the guests. In order to support Yang Cheng, Yang Sen and Liu Yun also arrived first in costumes to help Yang Cheng receive those older, Big guy with high status.

Outside the banquet hall, Susu was wearing a snow-white sleeveless V-neck satin dress that Yang Cheng bought for her. The makeup was carefully drawn by the makeup artist, her black hair was combed to one side, her white teeth and pink lips looked a little cramped She hugged Yang Cheng's arm to cover her chest, intending to cover the charming scenery of the lake and mountains, and Yang Cheng bent down gentlemanly to tidy up the hem of the mopping skirt for Susu so as not to be stepped on.

He straightened up, and moved the elbow that was held by Susu in a funny way, the aftermath was rippling, "Are you nervous?"

Well, you don't need to answer. The little girl was so nervous that she didn't feel that she was being taken advantage of.

"Don't be nervous. We are all people with one nose and two eyes. There is nothing to be afraid of." Not only did Yang Cheng's consolation not work, it stimulated Susu's emotions.

With a voice about to cry, he shook Yang Cheng's arm coquettishly and flinched, "Boss, why don't you let me go home? I promise I won't be nervous next time, okay?"

"No, you're leaving now and leaving me here alone, do you think it's appropriate?" Yang Cheng pulled her arm out of Susu's hand, and her big hand scrubbed Susu's little face that was hot from nervousness, the smooth and elastic touch, Seeing the aggrieved and flustered Xiao Shou, Yang Cheng salivated.

He made up his mind to eat this chick tonight. After holding it for a month, if he doesn't move, he will explode.

"That, that, that~" Susu covered Qingliang's chest with her hand unnaturally, hesitated for a long time but couldn't find any refutation, and she didn't know that her little white rabbit had fallen into the clutches of the big bad wolf, and she still couldn't help it. want to run?

"Okay, don't do that, you just stand by my side honestly, you don't need to talk, it's enough to keep a beautiful smile." Yang Cheng tightly hugged Susu's slender waist, and looked at the entrance. Direction, said in a low voice without moving his lips.

Some guests have already started to enter the arena, Yang Cheng had to pay attention to say hello, but the heat emitted by the body still made Susu, whose hands and feet were cold, find a little warmth, took a few deep breaths secretly, and calmed down her heartbeat, according to what Yang Cheng said , put on the most beautiful smile, and followed Yang Cheng to receive the guests.

Those who arrived first were executives from big companies, and Yang Cheng also admitted that he didn't know much about it, so Ruiz rushed over in time and reminded Yang Cheng, so that he didn't lose face.

The arrival of guests one after another made Yang Cheng overwhelmed. It wasn't until 10 minutes later that Amanda and Lydia, the sisters of the Hearst family, came out together, and he was relieved.

Facing the friends who have played since childhood, there is no need to be too polite. They hugged each other with their sisters and said with relaxed and warm smiles, "Amanda, Lydia, thank you for coming."

"Jason, we are friends, and today is a rare gathering in the New York media industry, how could I miss it." Amanda glanced at Susu indifferently, wondering who this is, who is actually qualified to be Yang Cheng's female partner, laughing It sounds silly.

Amanda is not to be blamed, Susu smiled for more than 10 minutes, her face was about to freeze, it's not bad if she didn't cry, still want an expression? What bike do you want.

Of course, a nameless little girl is not worthy of Amanda's attention.

"Then I'll go in and eat something first. I'm starving to death. I rushed over from the company and didn't have time to eat. Let's talk inside later." Amanda was not polite to Yang Cheng, and raised her hand to wipe off the sweat on Yang Cheng's forehead naturally. With her younger sister twisting her water snake waist, she walked into the venue.
