Dominating Hollywood: Starting with Scarlett

Chapter 66: Silence in response
  The air in the conference room fell into silence, and everyone was thinking about Tang De's creativity.

A few seconds later, a voice suddenly broke the silence: "Wait a minute, you'd better explain."

It was still little Sommer, with his brows furrowed and an expression of incomprehension on his face.

Old Sommer looked back at him with helpless eyes.

So Tang De explained: "Advertising is based on one thing, which is happiness, but what is happiness?"

"Happiness is the feeling you get when you own a new car and sit in it... It's the feeling of unfettered freedom. It's the billboard on the roadside that assures you that no matter what you do, you can do it! You don't have any problems! It's that simple."

"This advertisement is just like that. People's hearts need to be comforted. We don't need to express our brand philosophy and strength, we just need to be like friends. When a customer is anxious about something, we tell him, it's okay, just do it. That’s it, if you’re tired, rest. Happiness is actually a very simple thing, and that’s enough!”

Little Somo frowned. He wanted to ask again, but he was afraid of being scolded by his father, so he could only nod his head pretending to understand and study it in his mind.

"So Mr. Sommer, what do you think of this idea?" Tang De asked with a smile.

He didn't have any samples to show you this time, but it didn't matter. What he was selling was such a core concept. I think the executives present also understood the essence of this advertisement.

Old Sommer didn't speak, just lowered his eyes, thought for a while and suddenly clapped his hands softly.

“What a wonderful idea.”

"Wow!" The senior executives also applauded in unison. Whether they were unwilling to do so or had secret agreements with other companies, everyone had to act based on the chairman's face.

After a few seconds, Old Sommer put down his hand: "I will consider this idea carefully, the supreme idea, I remember it."

"grateful……"

Tang De took Jimmy and Cindy out of the office. Jimmy immediately let out a sigh of relief as soon as he walked out: "Damn, this atmosphere is so depressing. It's a shame they could stay in there for so long."

"They are paid, so it's okay if you don't sit down obediently." Tang De patted Jimmy on the shoulder and said: "Let's go, they will probably give us a reply tomorrow. Take advantage of this period to call the interviewers over. .”

"no problem!"

  All day long the next day, Tang De was interviewing those who applied for the job. Among them were not only tool people from small companies, but also managers from some large companies.

It's just that in Tang De's opinion, these people are not very capable. He doesn't want the company's staff to expand too much, so he doesn't plan to spend money on these people.

You must know that a well-run company often only needs to place a few extremely capable people in key positions to control the overall situation, while most of the remaining people are just hanging around waiting to die.

The first thing many entrepreneurs do after receiving investment is to recruit people in large quantities and weed out the talents they want.

But there are only three outcomes to this approach. One is that it is overwhelmed by the number of employees, making the company bloated and inefficient. By the way, it comes with intrigue and turns into a large oil bottle.

One is that personnel turnover is extremely fast, and everyone becomes a screw, becoming more and more tired and slack in the cycle of employment - poor results - layoffs.

As for the last one, it stepped on the trend of the times and directly grew into a unicorn.

The third type is obviously very rare. The right time, right place, right people and both are indispensable.

Most companies have to work slowly and slowly to climb up, but for Tang De, it was just because he was too lazy to manage.

He prefers to find a guy with initiative and outstanding ability to help him handle these things, such as Jimmy.

But it seems that there is not so far.

In the evening, Tang De drove his car back home. When he passed by a car wash, he suddenly thought that he hadn't washed his car in a long time, so he took his car to the car wash.

Then he stood outside the door and watched the sunset slowly setting in front of his eyes. The dim light gradually disappeared, making him feel that time passed so quickly. In the blink of an eye, he had a new career and a new life.

Tang Dehuai crossed his arms and scanned the hurried crowds on the street. Nights in the United States were not stable. Robbery could not be said to happen from time to time, it could only be said to happen every day.

Tang De has already identified a new community and plans to let his mother move out immediately after the company earns money from two more advertisements.

While he was thinking about things, he suddenly saw a man carrying a glass walking across the street.

That familiar Gu Lie hairstyle belongs to Tom Brown, Tang De’s former neighbor, and the person whom Tang De recruited when he first filmed the music video.

Since that shooting, Tom has continued his working life and has never met Tang De again. Unexpectedly, he met him here.

When Tom stepped onto the road steps with the long glass, Tang De was about to wave hello, but suddenly heard a rapid roar, and then a lightning-fast motorcycle passed directly by Tom, telling him to hurry up When avoiding, he subconsciously let go of his hands.

"Crack, wow!" The sound of shattering glass immediately resounded through the street. The motorcycle rider stopped, took off his helmet to reveal his childish face, hugged the girl behind him and laughed loudly: "Hahahaha, look, look how scared he is!"

There was some anger on Tom's face, and he was about to rush over, but the next moment, several motorcycles drove over quickly and stopped next to the boy.

After taking off his helmet, Tang De found that they were all a group of half-grown children, wearing uniform black jackets, and they should be a local motorcycle gang.

Tom did not move forward because he knew that he would only be humiliating himself by going up, so he stood still.

Those boys originally planned to teach him a profound lesson, but now that he looked timid, they immediately laughed loudly and insulted Tom with the most despicable words.

But Tom didn't react at all. He just squatted down, took off his coat, and spread it flat on the ground. Then he silently picked up the broken glass on the ground, as if he was trying to pick up his broken life.

Unfortunately, it was all in vain, and the next second, his hand was scratched.

But he didn't even frown and continued to pick it up silently, letting the blood stain the glass red.

The motorcycle gangs found it boring when they saw this. Bullying a person who couldn't resist obviously didn't calm down their strong dopamine, so they left again on their motorcycles in a show of force.

Tang De slowly stepped forward, squatted down and helped him pick up a few pieces of glass.

"Thank you... Tang De?" Tom turned around and found that he was an acquaintance.

"That's right, it's me. My car is at the car wash..." Tang De did not ask Tom about his recent situation, but changed the subject and said, "Have you gone to see your family?"

Tom's family left New York after Tom went to jail and helped pay off several loans. Donde didn't know where they went.

But Tom nodded: "They just arrived in New York a few days ago, but they will leave again in two days."

"Is it convenient? I mean... transportation, life." Tang De asked following the words.

"Fortunately, everything is fine except for transportation." Only when he talks about his family, the corners of this man's mouth will turn up slightly.

"Mrs. Brown was also very kind to me when our family moved here. She often gave us apple pies and stood in the garden to greet me..." Tang De smiled and handed over his car keys. This car The car was his previous second-hand car. Tang De had planned to replace it after a while, but now it seems that it has a new use.

"What?" Tom didn't answer.

Tang De patted him on the shoulder: "Take it, take Mrs. Brown for a walk, and say hello to her."

"I can't..." Tom was about to refuse when Tang De pushed him back and forced the key into his hand.

"Come on, buddy, I'm not doing it for you, I'm doing it for Mrs. Brown. Don't be so stubborn. And it's not free. You have to fill up the tank when you come back."

Tang De smiled and took a few steps back, waiting for Tom to hold the key tightly before turning around and waving goodbye: "Then I'll leave first, man!"

Tom looked at Tang De's back and said nothing, but just tightened his grip on the key.

  At eight o'clock in the evening, when Tom drove back to the hotel, his mother was hanging up the newly washed clothes outside the door.

Mrs. Brown is a middle-aged woman with a thick figure, her hair is permed in the recently popular wavy style, and her face is covered with acne from using cheap cosmetics all year round.

Her heart skipped a beat when she saw the brand-new car that Tom was driving. She quickly walked down the stairs and asked, "Where did this car come from? Tom."

Tom walked quickly to his mother: "Mom, it's Tang De. He lent me my car. He knew you were coming to New York, so he lent me the car specially. He also asked me to say hello to you."

"Tang De, is that the boy next door to us? But I remember..."

"He has succeeded, mom. He is now a famous MV director and makes a lot of money."

Mrs. Brown was relieved and said happily: "That's great. It's not easy for Carmela to support three children. That boy Tang De is handsome, talkative and sweet. I have always liked him. Since he lent me the car, Here it is, but take good care of it and be careful not to damage it."

"Understood, Mom."

She took Tom's hand and walked toward the room while urging him: "Also, you must thank others properly and remember to treat them to dinner."

"Don't worry, Mom."

"Don't just say it, Tom, don't be like your bastard father. He only knows how to take advantage. Now he is being held in the police station on blackmail charges. He should suffer more!"

"I will earn my parole money as soon as possible."
