Huayu has been doing one good deed a day since 2001

Chapter 163 The nationwide water crisis
after a while.

A high-end hotel suite in Los Angeles.

Alexandra Daddario went out to have dinner with her mother and brother.

In the suite, Lao Li grabbed the bottle and poured Huang Xiaoming a glass of champagne. He smiled and said, "Logically, I should have discussed the commission of the agency contract with you for the third time now."

The earliest time was after You Who Came From the Stars, when Xiao Ming starred in New Police Story, which was such a huge hit, fully demonstrating his ability to attract box office fans as Professor Huang.

Then there is Infernal Affairs 2.

Infernal Affairs 2 was suppressed in the early stages and had to be changed, and was suppressed again, but when Huang Xiaoming started roadshows, it still managed to make over 8000 million yuan at the box office in mainland China.

Now that The Big Bang Theory has aired three episodes, Xiao Ming's international influence has been further enhanced.

If it were any other group, Huang Xiaoming and his agent would have proactively discussed this and asked the company to reduce the group's share.

Xiao Ming hurriedly raised his glass to express his gratitude, "Boss, I can't mistake the platform's promotional power for my own ability."

"I signed my first five-year contract with the company, and it's just been two years."

"Whether to raise the profit ratio or not, we'll discuss it when the five-year contract expires and renews it."

Don’t mistake the platform’s strength for your own? ?

The most failed mistake in this regard is that Xiao Ming's future wife held down the baby.

Xiao Ming also started to toast Lao Li, "Boss, I starred in You Who Came From the Stars, and then went on to Police Story to snatch the spot from Hong Kong Island's Fung Tsai. It was purely because of your kindness."

"From Deng, Chen Kun to Nie Yuan, including Yan Kuan who interviewed with me at the time, anyone can replace me now."

"No matter how other actors choose, I feel that the company's 50% cut is too little."

"You split it 50-50, not like South Korea did with 80-20 and the company 80. It's like charity."

The word "platform" has gradually become a popular term on the Internet when Weibo became the dominant platform.

Old Li was amused. "So insightful? Don't you feel sorry?"

This is all money.

Every cent is a lot of money!

Huang Xiaoming smiled again and said, "I also heard that you and the boss lady pay taxes at the highest level, so I followed suit."

"I feel like you're making more money now than I could ever dream of. You're the richest man in mainland China, surpassing many business tycoons in Hong Kong who have been in business their whole lives."

"As an employee, if I follow my boss's steps, I should be able to go further."

After coming to Hollywood, he had already discovered the various tax avoidance games used by countless wealthy celebrities.

So, the taxation methods of the wealthy people like Lao Li and Pang Bing in the mainland are shocking.

Lao Li operates the company normally, and he follows the industry's lead in obtaining high-tech tax exemptions.

The boss lady Pang Bing paid too much, and she didn’t even open a studio.

In the future, various contracts will be very popular in mainland China. What about Hollywood? It's even more advanced.

Old Huang couldn't understand or figure it out, so he just sat back and watched Li Wenyu's position as the richest man in mainland China become increasingly stable.

He suddenly realized that he didn't understand what was going on.
Can you be smarter than Boss Li, who became the richest man in just three years after starting his business?
Since you can't, just follow.

He now earns $20 per 6-minute sitcom episode, which is equivalent to 49 RMB per episode.

This is outrageous and scary. A young actress like Liu Yifei only earns a few thousand yuan per episode.

And how much of a trend did Li Wenyu's purchase of Penguin stock trigger? Penguin Hong Kong Island has been listed for nearly a month now.

The original opening and closing price of HK$75 billion has soared to more than HK$150 billion, doubling in just one month.

The first and cheapest thing Lao Li bought has doubled in value, with a 100% profit!

Li Wenyu also took a sip of champagne and didn't know how to complain.

Is Xiao Ming really that smart? His original path wasn't so smooth.

But when he embarked on the road of capital, his choice of key nodes was quite accurate.

Before Huayi went public, how many people avoided buying insider subscriptions? They thought it was a scam. Xiao Ming directly bought the top 180 million shares, as Huayi wouldn't sell any more.

After taking another sip of champagne, he nodded. "Alright, I won't discuss raising your commission for the time being. I'm warning you, don't get too caught up in the honey trap."

“You can’t control some people.”

Not everyone can be like Huang Xiaoming, who can always take the right path, whether by luck or by chance.

In the future, when Huayi was close to bankruptcy, this Xiao Huang was still as cool as ever.

The swallow is so floating that she can't even recognize herself.

Tens of millions want to swallow up billions? It's more than just a snake swallowing an elephant.

Huang Xiaoming laughed awkwardly, "To be honest, Boss, I've been in Hollywood for a long time, I have a white girlfriend, and I occasionally go to nightclubs with people, but..."

"I promise I won't do anything rash. At most, I'll help some of my senior and junior sisters get supporting roles in a single episode."

Old Li nodded. "Just keep it in mind. Okay, get busy."

He also knew that Xiao Ming was quite extravagant. When La Beibi was being the most modest, he even claimed that she was the head of the nightclub.

However, under the butterfly effect of Lao Li's rebirth, Lao Huang's love history was messed up.

All the people he was going to meet starting from 04 were blown away.

This is the beginning of talking about white women in Hollywood!
…………

More than an hour later.

Old Li was reading a book in the hotel room when he heard Alexandra swipe her card to come in. She started asking him questions like adding fuel to the fire.

After the sun set, Alexandra ordered room service and said, "My mom, my brother, and my sister all live here."

"It feels a bit exciting. This isn't the other side of the Pacific Ocean. They want to watch me perform while filming. Plus, my brother is a year younger than me."

"He also wants to be an actor. Once I get better, I'll try to bring him into the crew. His acting skills are still far from good enough. They're much worse than mine."

"I think it's quite funny. Will my sister Catherine also learn to be an actor like me in a few years? She is six years younger than me and is only 12 years old this year."

Old Li, “…”

He was speechless. After seeing the photos of her and her family, he realized that Alexandra was the most beautiful one in her family.

When he came over to order, he spoke, "Your mother and brother visiting the crew is no big deal, just take them with you."

During the actual filming, he might only stay for one day.

Then we have to work on Android!

In the 20-minute sitcom, Alexandra only contributed a few minutes of performance, and she was given some cheats to make her performance level 70.

It’s normal to finish shooting in one day!

After the filming, she reunited with her family for a few days while Lao Li took care of the commercial operations. If all went well, he would be able to return to Beijing with the results in more than a week.

You can go meet Andy Rubin and continue to fool people.

He already knew from the email that Andy and his friends had developed a smart camera operating system but had lost money and had no results.

I have the idea of ​​switching to a new mobile phone system, but I don’t have the money! I’m poor!
Before the emergence and dominance of real mobile phone Android systems, including Apple's IOS systems, there were various systems on mobile phones at this stage.

Nokia, Motorola and Samsung mobile phones basically use the Symbian OS system, and then the Windows Mobile system and so on.

They are all feature phone systems.

Why have the Android and IOS systems that started in 04 and 05 completely replaced the current ones?

This is based on the development and innovation of smartphone screen technologies such as touch screen and multi-touch, which have completely replaced the previous physical keyboard and stylus operation mode.

If you want to download an app on your current mobile phone, you usually connect it to a computer via a data cable to download it, and then transfer it to the phone for installation.

Or you can download it through your mobile browser, provide a download link through text messages, push it through MMS, etc.

Android's open source foundation allows countless mobile phone brands to join the Android camp, bundle the Time App Market with mobile phone manufacturers, and receive regular system updates and reviews.

This is the blood cow of Google’s future market value!
Computer version of installed windows!

He became friends with Andy Rubin and could even be Andy's teacher.

What Li Wenyu didn't expect was that just when he was about to call Andy Rubin to ask him out for a drink, a text message came on his phone from an unfamiliar number.

"I'm Apple's Steve Jobs, Lee. Why have you registered so many patents for mobile phone designs?"

"I was originally thinking of taking some time to visit you. It would be even better if you could come to the United States. Do you have time to buy you a drink?"

Old Li almost died of laughter.

Do you think he has the opportunity to intercept Apple Group and be the first to make mobile phones?
There really is such a possibility.

You can look at Android for your mobile phone system, then buy chips from here and batteries from there, and piece them together to become an intermediate OEM manufacturer like Xiaomi.

The problem is that it's not necessary.

When you don’t have various production capabilities, it’s too easy to get stuck and end up running around as an assembly OEM factory.

But appearance patents are different.

This is just like how countless people registered Internet domain names in the early years, and then registered the copyrights of various clothing and apparel designs in real life.

He just registered a large part of it.

Li Wenyu typed, "Are you Apple Computers going to switch to making phones? No problem. If you like the look of a phone, you can sell one or more of them."

"My time, everyone only needs to pay a $1 royalty fee."

In the future, Apple, Meizu, Samsung, Huawei, etc. will have to deal with many lawsuits for infringement of appearance patents.

He also knew one thing: there was a very important company called Fingerworks in the field of smart phones.

This company was the foundation for Steve Jobs' multi-touch technology for iPhones.

Steve Jobs decided to make a mobile phone in early 04. He initially cooperated with Motorola to produce a music phone, which was also a small-screen feature phone.

The failure of this music phone led Steve Jobs to make the major internal decision to develop Apple mobile phones, including the iOS operating system, at the end of 04.

It was decided to develop a revolutionary and epoch-making mobile phone.

In 2005, Steve Jobs acquired FingerWorks, and after a slight upgrade, he transferred the company's accumulated touch screen technology to the first generation of iPhones.

Users can use their fingers to click, slide, and zoom to control the smartphone.

Including touch screen keyboard typing and the like.

This led to the groundbreaking Apple 2007 in 1 and the subsequent Apple 08G series in 3.

What if he acquired it first? This technology is not the only one Fingerworks holds.

Old Joe can find another company to acquire it.

Moreover, if Jobs really copied the design and refused to pay the patent fees, he would sue, and it would be normal for the lawsuit to last three to five years.

However, the company's products combine the concept of smartphones with large-screen devices that can be clicked, slid, and typed on.

It would be beneficial to put together a rosy picture for Andy Rubin and let Andy follow him to China to work as a worker. The picture can be more detailed.

You can go straight back to the real Android system.

When you can't see or imagine the smart phone products released in 07 and 08, it's okay to occupy a position of appearance patent.

It's not easy to take advantage of too much, he is Chinese.

In fact, in 05 and 06, South Korea's LG Group was also planning to develop smartphones, and LG's smartphone was launched a month earlier than Apple's first generation.

But the publicity and promotion are not good and the marketing is also terrible.

More importantly, this thing doesn’t have a smartphone operating system!!

When it comes to groundbreaking smartphones, this LG model, released a month earlier, barely registers.

Mobile phones are commodities that people use.

The experience of making and receiving calls or other things is so bad that it won’t sell!
LG's Koo family is slightly inferior to Samsung's Lee Jae-yong, but they are also chaebols of the same level. LG entered the mobile phone market in 1995, a generation earlier than Apple.

This is just like when Steve Jobs announced his high-profile entry into mobile phone manufacturing. Motorola and Nokia thought that Steve Jobs was a funny guy.

Disdain him.

Another old brand, LG, is making fun of it, but suddenly I feel that Steve Jobs’ plan is quite awesome, and seems to represent the future direction?
After all, LG has many years of experience in mobile phone manufacturing.

This is much more powerful than Steve Jobs' sudden shift from computers to mobile phones.

Chaozi debuted first!
Even if the foundation is more solid and it is rushed to market a month earlier, it will be useless without a matching operating system and other poor quality features.

You can't install apps without a system!

Users cannot select the homepage screen and ringtones of the phone themselves, all are installed by default, the battery is very poor, the photos are terrible, and it does not support flash playback!

More than 95% of the various defects basically prove that LG copied Jobs midway.

On the contrary, two years later, Meizu smartphones also appeared in mainland China.

Although it was sued for infringing on the appearance patent, Meizu's operating system is still good and can still cause a craze and sell well.

If we want to ignite the fire of appearance patent, we still need to brew it for another year or two.

…………

At noon on July 7th, Beijing time, Li Wenyu, Alexandra Daddario, and Andy Rubin got off the plane together.

This is already the fifth Monday since "Dying to Survive" was released in mainland China.

Last week, "Dying to Survive" once again took in 7900 million at the box office, which was 30 million in less than 3.18 days of the summer season, while "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" had accumulated 1.45 million before it was released.

4.63 million nationwide.

"Dying to Survive" did not have any roadshows, but the stars promoted it on Weibo.

Then some celebrities actually booked out theaters and invited people to watch their shows, and there were even some companies like Penguin, Pig Farm, and Time Group.

There are also private booking operations.

The company spontaneously booked the theater and donated some movie tickets, which is just a small way of doing charity.

Following those who have seen the movie and compared everything in the reality, I also know that all the proceeds will be donated to tap water!
This tap water is really scary.

China has always emphasized that when one side is in trouble, all sides will come to its aid. When a disaster really happens, all parties will donate and provide aid enthusiastically.

Now, every profit from the sale of Medicine God movie tickets will be donated to help prolong the lives of patients with chronic myeloid leukemia, just like what is shown in the movie.

Whether it is the old lady on the big screen crying and shouting, "Is there anything wrong with wanting to be alive?", or the death of Lu Shouyi played by Chen Kun, to the deaths played by other patients.

This tap water storm has really spread throughout the society.

Shi Guang has no intention of holding any celebration banquet, but the official Weibo of the crew will steadily update the data and revenue.

Try to show how you help real patients buy medicine.

Li Wenyu had just gotten in the car to return to the company when he received a text message reporting that someone had flown to Baixiang specifically, bringing dozens of boxes of cheap medicine to give away.

This is definitely not the sale of fake medicine. They are giving it away for free at a loss.
