Chapter 714 Seeking Skin from a Tiger
This charity auction was very successful. Although there were some unexpected twists and turns in the middle, it ended smoothly.

There will be a thank you dinner after the charity auction to thank the guests for their support.

At the thank-you dinner, Larry Fink and Gilbert Jr. found an opportunity to chat.

"Mr. Fink, if I'm not mistaken, you are here to be a lobbyist," Gilbert Jr. said bluntly.

Larry Fink admitted directly: "I am here to lobby, but to be honest, I don't really want to convince you."

"Oh? That's surprising."

Larry Fink said, "I know a secret of yours, a very big secret."

Big secret? I am still the Big Mi Mi! Little Gilbert complained in his heart.

"What secret? Do you know that I was reborn?"

Larry Fink was so stunned by Gilbert's sudden attack that he could only smile and say, "You've got to be kidding me.

I'm talking about the recent frequent transfers of funds in your fruit fund."

"Really?" Little Gilbert raised his eyebrows: "I'm not sure, I don't manage the specific business."

"But I think you should smell something." Larry Fink decided not to play charades with Gilbert Jr.: "In short, I know what you need.

We can work together and make a lot of money.”

"???"

Little Gilbert had three question marks above his head: "What does Mr. Fink mean? I don't quite understand."

"Hahaha, don't play dumb with me." Larry Fink took out a business card with contact information on it.

"When you've made up your mind, you can call me."

After that, Larry Fink said goodbye.

After he left, Ivanka came over and said, "I already got the bronze."

"Well done," Gilbert Jr. turned to Ivanka and said, "Larry Fink discovered our plan."

Ivanka was shocked: "What? Is he threatening you?"

"No," Little Gilbert shook his head and said, "He came to cooperate with us."

"Cooperation? Cooperation for what?"

"That's why he came to us for cooperation."

Ivanka was curious: "Isn't this Larry Fink from their side? Why did he suddenly want to cooperate with us?"

"Two possibilities."

Little Gilbert analyzed: "First, he is trying to trick us. But if he wants to set a trap for me, there is no need to warn me."

"That's another possibility."

Ivanka took over the conversation and said: "He really wants to cooperate, but why?"

Little Gilbert shook his head: "I don't know, maybe he's had enough of being a white glove and wants to turn the tables and become the master.

In short, you should pay more attention to this matter and don't let your guard down."

Ivanka nodded gently: "I understand. I will ask someone to investigate. If he really wants to cooperate with us, it will be a good thing."

"I hope so!"

Little Gilbert suddenly remembered a rumor from his previous life that Black Rock Company was the main sponsor of DEI.

In the past, DEI spread from movies and TV series to the gaming industry. Although major companies know that every work containing such elements will lose money, they still enjoy doing it.

This is related to Black Rock's subsidy policy. Producers can get DEI subsidies from Black Rock and may also get returns from stock prices. So even if the code is criticized, the film and game companies will not come back. They don't care what the audience and game players want.

The original plan was good, but then Hollywood DEI became rampant, and the movies became bad, and there weren't many good works. But in the field of games, a variable appeared.

That’s right, it’s the groundbreaking “Black Myth: Wukong” that dealt a heavy blow to DEI.

If you say Black Rock cares for the minority, that's bullshit. If that's the case, they should care about the few remaining Indians.

After all, Indians don’t have many scalps, and they are the real minority.

These capitalists talk about ideology but only think about business.

If you ask what business DEI has, there is a lot to talk about. From ideology to dividing the lower classes of society, and finally to long-term hormone use and surgery, there are many profitable areas in between.

Not sure what Larry Fink is thinking now, or if this is just a trick played by the old capitalists.

In short, working with Larry Fink was fraught with danger, so Gilbert Jr. had to be cautious.

Back at Cantaloupe Manor, little Gilbert still had a wry smile on his face.

How could he, a film director, be involved in so many things? He was so tired that he wanted to quit.

Let's put this matter aside for the time being. The money raised from the charity auction was quickly transferred to the Fruit Foundation and became the largest donation from Western society.

The official media there reported in various ways, praising his merits, and little Gilbert's name was mentioned again.

Now even those Chinese people who seldom watch movies or get involved in entertainment know that there is a little Gilbert in the West who is a good friend of the Chinese people.

After knowing Little Gilbert's name, some people are naturally curious about Little Gilbert's experience and will go to check it out.

I don't know if I don't see it, I'm startled when I see it.

This foreigner with a strange and homophonic name is actually a genius. He directed his first movie at the age of 21 and won the Oscar for Best Director twice.

The cumulative box office of his films has exceeded 15 billion US dollars, making him the first person in history.

He is also an investment genius. The banana and watermelon companies that entered the Chinese market in the past two years are both his companies.

What's even more amazing is that Gilbert can speak Chinese and is an expert on China. In addition, he also serves as the artistic consultant for this year's Olympics.

Coupled with this donation, the Chinese people's favorability towards little Gilbert has greatly increased.

It is said, it is said, that someone in the disaster area has already set up a memorial tablet for little Gilbert.

Gilbert Jr. has received an invitation to attend the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games. The Olympic Games are currently under intense preparation, and the preparation team has consulted Gilbert Jr. on many issues.

Little Gilbert also put forward his own pertinent opinions for the reference of the preparatory group.

It was May 4, the fourth weekend after The Dark Knight was released. On that day, Spielberg's Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was released.

It has been 19 years since the last "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade", and the audience has almost forgotten this series.

However, when Spielberg makes a move, it is another family-friendly adventure film that he is good at, and there are still fans who have seen the series of films.

The film received a lot of attention before it was released, and it exploded in the market in its first week. It took in $1 million in the first week, successfully winning the North American box office championship that week.

The film seems to prove that Spielberg can still adapt to the changing market, that he is still in his element, and that he can continue to be at the forefront of filmmaking.

George Lucas, the film's producer, admitted that this would be his last time as a producer for the series.

George Lucas has decided to retire, and what movie fans are concerned about is what will happen to the "Star Wars" series after George Lucas retires.

In this regard, George Lucas recently made it clear in an interview: "I have persuaded Gilbert Jr. to take over this series, and I believe he will bring surprises."

So the public turned their attention to Gilbert Jr., the rising director.
