Chapter 18: Paris' gift

"William, are you still in the office?" After Chen William sent Erica away, he received a call from Paris.

After Paris went to Hollywood to film, she would often call or text William Chen. Especially at night, in her words, she wanted to supervise William Chen and let him be self-disciplined.

However, William Chen naturally scoffed at her reason. Hehe, I don't know who always said those ambiguous things to himself, and then hung up the phone irresponsibly, making him almost fly to Los Angeles several times?

"Yes, Paris, I just finished my class, and I'm going to have dinner later." This time, William Chen also thought that she was routinely inquiring about her whereabouts.

"Then can you go downstairs now? I have something for you, and he is downstairs in your building now." Paris said.

"What? It's mysterious." William Chen muttered. The first reaction in his mind at this time was why he didn't need express delivery. Then he realized that he was used to the life in China in his previous life. After all, at that time There are errands in the same city that can help deliver.

But at this time, the FedEx Express in the United States is already very powerful, but the cost is definitely incomparable to the domestic one in China for ordinary people.

"Don't ask so many questions, you'll know when you go down and have a look, there's a surprise." Paris said with a smile.

At this time, William Chen had already realized something. Sure enough, when he walked out of the building, he saw Paris sitting in his car and beckoning to him.

"How is it, surprise? Dear William." Paris said with a smug smile on his face.

"Very pleasantly surprised, why are you back? Have you finished filming?" William Chen got into the car and saw the skirt Paris was wearing today. From his own perspective, he could see half the circle, which was a tempting crime. .

"Yes, I'm not the protagonist in this movie, so I shot it faster." In fact, under normal circumstances, she would have had two more days to shoot. However, in Los Angeles, on the one hand, Paris misses Chen William very much. After all, two or three days before the two separated, although she felt exhausted every day, once she was repaired, it became more and more memorable.

In addition, even recently, she also saw frequent reports of William dating Ivanta in some newspapers. Although those reports only took photos of the two eating and walking out of the restaurant together, and she herself knew her best friend Ivanta quite well, she knew that the woman was not so easy to deal with, and at most she regarded William as a friend.

But what if? Rationality is rationality, which is often the case. The person you care about will always magnify the other party's excellence. Therefore, under the worry, Paris discussed with the director and filmed her part first, and then ended the filming ahead of schedule. After all, as Paris, this kind of requirement will not affect the shooting too much, and ordinary directors are willing to give her this favor, and there is no need to offend her for it.

"Look if you like it? William." Paris suddenly remembered something, took out a box from her bag and handed it to Chen William.

"What is this?" William Chen took the gift box, and after opening it, he saw a simple bracelet inside.

"I bought it when I participated in a charity auction in Los Angeles. It is said to be an antique from China. It has a history of hundreds of years. I look very beautiful, and I say that this bracelet has energy. It may bless the person who wears it. You Like it?"

William Chen picked up the bracelet, looking at the style, it should be made of Tibetan silver. If it is bought at an auction, it will generally be authenticated, and there will be no fakes mixed in it.

After all, those who participated in the charity auction are all people with heads and faces. If it is revealed that the items participating in the auction are fakes, it would be too embarrassing. Therefore, since this bracelet is an antique, at least it is an old object before the Qing Dynasty in China.

However, whether it is antique or not, William Chen doesn't care. He just likes the shape of this bracelet. The Tibetan silver beads on it have lotus patterns on them, and they look very delicate.

"I like it very much, thank you, Paris." William Chen put the bracelet on his wrist, and it was just right, he said, "I'm waiting to put my alcohol-free badge on it, and I can wear it everywhere. "

"As long as you like it." Seeing William put the Tibetan silver bracelet on his hand, Paris smiled and asked, "Let's go to dinner first, William, I tried a great Chinese restaurant last time. You should try it."

Paris took William Chen to Hakkasan (Hakka Mountain) near Times Square, which is a rare Chinese restaurant rated one Michelin star.

As we all know, the evaluation standard of Michelin restaurants is more suitable for Western food. The cooking method of Chinese food is not dominant in this selection. Therefore, among the Michelin-starred restaurants in the world, there are few Chinese restaurants. This can also be seen. Rare restaurant.

After tasting it, William Chen had to admit that the Cantonese cuisine featured in this Hakkasan restaurant is indeed very authentic and delicious, not inferior to the top Cantonese restaurants that William Chen had eaten in China in his previous life.

After eating, William Chen and Paris also strolled around the neighborhood casually. Not only did they buy two clothes with her, they also bought a lot of clothes for themselves. However, these shopping results do not need to be brought by them. After leaving the address, the clerk will specially deliver it to the home.

Of course, the appearance of the two here also attracted the attention of all-pervasive reporters. It can be said that there are so many reporters in the United States. Not only was Paris photographed holding William Chen, but also reporters asked the two of them directly. Are you in a relationship.

In this regard, Chen William was used to being numb. He just smiled and didn't say anything, but Paris left them a sentence: "We are friends, best friends. Thank you, there are still things to go. already."

As for what they write after they go back, this is out of their control. After all, the competition in these newspapers and magazines in the United States is also fierce. In order to attract attention, they are very good at using some scandals with the words "seems to be", "looks like" and "looks like" to increase sales. As for these reports, at most, they would ask their lawyers to quarrel. As a public figure, the final court decision will not favor them.

The two had been separated for a while. Whether it was William Chen or Paris, they all felt a little bit different than the newlyweds. Therefore, the two did not go anywhere else and drove directly back to William Chen's house.

Entering the house, the two were already hugging each other and kissing.

"Dear William, I feel that your body should be completely healed, and it seems to be stronger." Paris whispered in his ear, his breathing gradually became heavier, and he snorted into William Chen's ear.

"I think this kind of thing, you have to try it yourself to be sure, what do you say, Paris." William Chen grabbed the little hand that was messing with him, then picked her up by the waist, and walked directly to the bathroom.

In the end, he kicked the bathroom door closed with his foot, leaving only Paris' voice in the bathroom: "F**K, William, can you be gentle, my clothes won't be able to be worn tomorrow."



The next day, William Chen came to the office in Building 666 refreshed. After sitting on the chair, he couldn't help but open the interface of Future Bank. In the [Activity] interface, there was already a new event -

[First Industry] Users who own their own first industry will receive random rewards.

The current activity is in the state of "participated". When he got up from Paris' entanglement this morning and habitually opened the Future Bank interface to check, he found this new activity and he had already chosen to participate.

Now that I think about it, the company I own now is the film company in Los Angeles. Although it belongs to me completely, it has been on the verge of bankruptcy, so it is not an industry.

As for Building No. 666, he inherited from his parents' asset management company, and currently only holds 60% of the shares. Finally, it is the newly registered Meta investment company. To put it bluntly, it is currently a shell company for his own investment. UU Kanshu www.uukanshu. Therefore, in a practical sense, it really does not completely belong to itself and can be regarded as an industry.

I wonder if the acquisition of the "New York Observer" is successful, can it be considered as completing this task? William Chen felt it was worth a try.

When William Chen took out the phone and called Nielsen to talk about the acquisition of the New York Observer, the other party told him that he was still negotiating with Robert De Niro, and the other party asked for $8 million to sell, And also take on the newspaper's $3 million debt.

This is equivalent to a total of 11 million US dollars to acquire the newspaper. Although this price is not unaffordable for Chen William, he certainly does not want to be taken advantage of.

Robert De Niro made a good calculation, used the influence of this newspaper to the full, and then created a foreign debt of 3 million US dollars. Now he wants to sell it to himself at the original price, which is equivalent to spending more than two years of prostitution. If the newspaper is really taken over at this price, I am afraid that Chen William will have another prodigal behavior.

Anyway, this newspaper, he got the best, even if he couldn't get it, he wouldn't have much regret. After all, he knew that the future era will be the era of the Internet. If these paper media cannot be successfully transformed , the future will be more and more difficult.

In William Chen's previous life, as far as he knows, the traditional paper newspapers in the United States have not been successfully transformed. Therefore, even after he acquired the "New York Observer", he still has to reform it. , If he can't reach an agreement with Robert De Niro in the end, he might as well skip the paper media and enter the Internet field.

Just like Twitter, it's still in its early stages of development, and it's a good target. Also, it's Reddit, which developed well in previous lives.
