Witness of the film and television world

Chapter 107 Family
Soon, Peyton got information from several people in Clover.

These people are all engaged in the real estate industry in the Washington area. For example, Clover runs dozens of large hotels and takes out various office buildings...

"A real estate businessman, or a hotel developer."

"Perhaps there is a plan to take the opportunity to enter the theater industry, no wonder the tone is so loud!"

Real estate naturally fits well with movie theaters.

Payton labeled several people as "strong financial resources", "extensive network" and "prepared partners".

In other words, in the past few years, real estate businessmen have been quite embarrassed. With the economic recovery of the Federation, various industries can see rapid growth, but the real estate industry has little room for growth.

After thinking about it, Payton made a direct call.

"It's an honor to serve you, Mr. Chris."

Peyton: "Gather me information on all the mid-tier studios in Hollywood, focusing on the worst-run ones."

"Yes!"

……

Payton plans his own production company.

Today, his office welcomed two unexpected guests.

"Why are you here?"

"Kevin! Rich!"

Peyton smiled and hugged his two older brothers.

Kevin and Richie also had smiles on their faces: "Little Chris, we haven't seen each other for a long time. A few days ago, my mother said she missed you."

Peyton said helplessly: "Isn't this too busy? After a while, I'll go back."

"How are their bodies?"

"Don't worry, they are in good health," Kevin said.

"By the way, what are you doing here?"

"A fraternity man from our university got married, he's from Washington, and we were at his wedding, and now we're stopping by to see you," Rich explained.

Peyton nodded: "Don't worry, I'm doing well."

"Haha, of course we know that you are doing well, and I also saw photos of Taylor coming out of your villa in the newspaper."

"Yes, that's Taylor, you are simply the public enemy of federal men."

Peyton smiled slightly: "Don't talk about me, I can't count the girlfriends you two had in high school, and there are definitely more in college."

The two brothers also laughed when they heard this.

Kevin said in surprise: "By the way, we have another good news for you. You are going to have a little nephew soon."

Peyton was taken aback, looked the two of them up and down, and asked suspiciously, "Whose do you belong to? Do parents know?"

Rich shook his head quickly: "I am prepared for safety every time."

Kevin also looked disgusted: "I would like to have a few more years of freedom."

"You misunderstood! It's none of our business, it's Mina! She's pregnant, and she's going to have this baby."

Peyton looked blank: "Sister, isn't she going to study for a doctorate?"

Unlike Rich and Kevin, who almost didn't get enough credits and graduated from college, they were different.

The eldest sister, Mina, has studied hard these years and has already obtained a master's degree in law, and is preparing to study for a Ph.D. at Yale University's law school.

For her future development, whether it is to stay in university or participate in politics, it is a good choice.

"You can't have children if you are a PhD student? Mina and his boyfriend have been dating for five years, and it's almost time to get married and have children."

"As for studying a Ph.D., it doesn't matter if you study while raising a baby."

Peyton nodded: "Did Mom and Dad know?"

"Of course, according to Mina's intention, they plan to prepare for the wedding in the second half of the year, and they will let you know when the time comes."

"Row!"

It was another simple chat, and Peyton talked about some interesting things in Hollywood, which made the two of them smile knowingly.

Suddenly, Payton thought of something, and he couldn't help but said, "By the way, how is your second-hand book market doing?"

Kevin shook his head: "It's not easy to do. In the past two years, there have been more and more competitors, and the profit has dropped by half compared to last year."

Kevin said: "Keep watching. Originally Rich wanted to do some government school projects, but Dad is in a critical period again. We can only bear with it for now."

"Next year, when Dad's general election is over, we will try to do some government and school projects."

The two of them are very optimistic. The business is not doing well because it is already a profitable business.

And once the government's channels are opened, it will be even better.

Peyton was moved in his heart.

"Kevin, Rich, have you considered transitioning?"

"Transformation?" The two were obviously taken aback.

Payton explained: "Although the second-hand market is not small, both ends are controlled by others, and the threshold is low and the pressure of competition is high. You can also feel this."

"Not bad!"

The two nodded. In the past few years of second-hand books, they have deeply felt the limitations of this industry.

There is almost no threshold, anyone can be his competitor.

But they have been doing this since college. They have been doing this for so many years, and they also have a group of people. If they really want to transform, they don't know what to do for a while.

"Now you have a big advantage."

"Advantage?"

Peyton said: "Yes, over the years of making second-hand books, you have run through all the book sellers in Alabama, penetrated into this industry, and transformed into a publishing house. I think it is a very good choice."

"Publisher?" The two looked at each other.

After a while, Rich shook his head: "Forget it, the publishing industry is much more complicated than the second-hand market."

Kevin was a little moved, he knew that since Peyton raised this matter, he must have follow-up plans.

Payton said: "You know that I have a publishing house under my name, which is the one that exchanged shares with Random House. Now I am busy with business here in Washington. If you are interested-"

"Peyton, you don't need to say, I can't agree. Your company will only be your company. The Chris family didn't rob members of his younger brother's company." Rich directly refused.

Kevin also shook his head: "Yes, Peyton, our transformation into a publishing house and your publishing and social networking for us are completely different things, and I will not agree."

Peyton froze for a moment, then smiled leisurely: "Okay, okay!"

"But to be honest, I really don't have time to manage the publishing house. If you are interested, you can really come and help me."

"Forget it, Peyton, I don't have time. You can just hire a professional manager. You have so many companies, and you are busy one by one. Even if you are Superman, you can't keep busy."

"Correct!"

Peyton smiled helplessly, the two elder brothers had become so tough.

But it's okay, it's better than those things that can't be supported by mud, but are always disgusting.

"That's fine, but if you want to do government projects, you must communicate with Dad in advance. There are many people who are secretly planning to trip Dad!" Peyton reminded.

"Don't worry, we're not stupid. Although we don't want to help Dad like you, it's impossible to hold Dad back."

"Yes."

Hearing what the two said, Peyton was also relieved.

They are all brothers who grew up together, and Peyton still knows the behavior of his older brothers and sisters.

In the end, Payton suddenly thought about the stadium.

"By the way, Richie, Kevin, have you ever considered a career in football?"

Both of them shook their heads: "Forget it, I thought about it when I was in college. Playing professionally is too much for my body, and I earn a lot, but it's all youth food. We still want to live a few more years."

Payton shook his head: "It's not about being a player, it's about managing! I bought an NBA team not long ago, and I may increase investment in sports in the future. If you are interested, you can go and find out, and we will do it together in the future."

Rich immediately became interested: "That's fine, when you buy an NFL team, I can help you with logistics management."

Kevin also said: "I can do tactical guidance. If I didn't want to buy second-hand books, I might have stayed as a coach assistant. I am a tactical genius."

"We can't help you with the rest, but rugby, we have practiced for more than ten years, is better than you, a rookie who hasn't started in rugby."

"good."

Peyton smiled: "That's settled."
