Chapter 408: running man

Communication between Scott Swift and the Apple board has been very smooth.

The board of directors has approved to allow Dunn Capital to increase its holdings of no more than 30 million Apple shares from the secondary market within the next six months.

This is normal.

Generally speaking, when major shareholders reduce their holdings, they will encounter persuasion and obstruction from the board of directors. As long as more than 50% of the holding company becomes a holding company, the power structure of the board of directors will not be shaken.

An increase in holdings means an increase in the share price, which is of course in the interests of shareholders and the board of directors.

What's more, Tang En has never asked for the addition of independent directors and the placement of Tang Clan people. Such a good thing cannot be asked for.

If Dunn Capital completes the 30 million share increase target, its shareholding in Apple will exceed 16.5%. There is no doubt that this will be a wealth that can rival the country in the future.

But Dunn was not happy because of such good news.

Because today is September 11th!

At eight o'clock in the morning, Tang En came to the office on time, a little quiet.

If nothing else, shocking news will come soon.

The plane bound for Los Angeles took off from Boston at 8:00 and was hijacked 15 minutes later. After another 15 minutes, the plane completely lost control. After another 15 minutes, the plane appeared over Manhattan and crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center. .

Tragedy is about to happen, Dunn is in the office, a little restless.

Little Secretary Isla Fisher thought he was worried about the movie "Chicago" and laughed: "It's useless for Kirk Douglas to obstruct, Ms. Zeta Jones has signed a contract, and the movie will start next week. already."

Tang En smiled, "By the way, "Gone Lover"... How much is the fee?"

"One and a half, it's all transferred to your account." Isla Fisher blinked.

Tang En said: "I never keep my personal account, and all expenses go to Tang En Capital, which is a trust fund."

Ella Fisher pursed her lips and said, "I know, you rich people all have trust funds. The manuscript fee has exceeded 21 million US dollars, and we are half of each other!"

"so much?"

Dunn couldn't help widening his eyes.

Ella Fisher said proudly: "Yes, this one has sold 2.8 million copies in North America, which is on the same level as the "Harry Potter" series. And it is also being published overseas one after another, with sales in the UK That's fine too!"

Tang En glanced at her with a half-smile but not a smile, "I didn't expect you to be a little rich woman. You wouldn't quit your job like Reese, would you?"

"Reese has a position in Rose Pictures, what do I have? I still rely on you to write this book. I quit my job, what can I do?" Ella Fisher smiled charmingly.

Dunn nodded, "This kind of best-selling book is very timely. In this way, you can contact Rose Pictures now and ask Katherine Kennedy and Reese to prepare for this project."

""Gone Lover"?"

"certainly."

"Wow!" Ella Fisher jumped up excitedly, "My book is going to be made into a movie too!"

Dunn shook his head and laughed.

"Gone Girl" is of course a bestseller, but the biggest reason this book has sold nearly 3 million copies in North America is that it has the name "Dawn Walker" in the byline.

This kind of crime and suspense book usually has a small audience and is not on the same level as "Harry Potter".

Or take advantage of this momentum to make a movie.

Let the film and each other get in touch with each other and have fun.

Ella Fisher happily went to arrange work, Dunn looked at the time - 8:23.

Even in Los Angeles, Dunn was a little flustered.

In his previous life, he lived in the mainland, and his impression of "911"...was rather unusual, understatement, and even cynical, unaware of the horror of this incident and the tension it brought to the whole world.

It was not until I lived in the United States for a few years that I had a deep understanding.

Contrast that with Pearl Harbor and everything is clear.

"911 Incident" killed more people than "Pearl Harbor" incident!

The economic loss is even more. Manhattan is an international financial center. All mainstream countries in the world have been seriously injured in this incident, and the economic loss has exceeded 1 trillion US dollars!

Tang En's feelings about this matter are complicated. He hopes that fewer people will die, and he also hopes to make more money...

At this time, Ella Fisher came back, blinked her big eyes, and said with a smile: "Boss, here is a guest!"

Come directly without an appointment, indicating that it must be a good friend or an important person.

Sure enough, the next thing I saw was an ugly face-Leonardo Ricaprio.

"Have you finished the later stages of the movie?"

Dunn knew his current situation. After a lap of vacation in New Zealand, he returned to Los Angeles for the later dubbing of "The New York Times".

"Isn't that easy?"

Leonardo rolled his eyes and snorted lightly. He is too familiar with Tang En, he is a standard best friend, sitting or not, with Erlang's legs crossed, swaying like a street gangster.

Tang En didn't care, and poured him a cup of coffee himself, "Come here, what's the matter?"

Leonardo smiled, "Yesterday, I went to Steven's crew and saw Natalie, but she was treated badly, like a monster..."

"Leonardo!"

Dunn gritted his teeth and stared at him.

"Well, let's not talk about her. Steven is going to have a new project, and I went over and talked to him for a while..."

"Wait!" Dunn interrupted him again, frowning, "Spielberg's new project? Is his "Minority Report" finished?"

"Of course not." Leonardo shrugged, "Perhaps DreamWorks' performance is too poor, and they are eager to make money from his movies."

Dunn just remembered that in the two years from 2000 to 2002, Steven Spielberg was called "Running Man" by Hollywood because he took less than 18 months to shoot three movie!

Artificial Intelligence, Minority Report, and Get Unpunished!

This also explains why he would rather risk offending Dunn and increase the price of the North American copyright of "Band of Brothers".

Without making money, DreamWorks will not survive!

"The new project...wouldn't be a collaboration with Tom Hanks?"

"Huh? He told you? Yes, it's already said, let's go back and prepare, I'm the number one, and Hanks is the number two male, hehe!" Leonardo looked proud, Erlang's legs kept running trembling.

"You came here to show off this to me? Also, Daniel Lewis just played with you, and Tom Hanks wants to be a green leaf for you again. You are very proud!"

Leonardo said with a look of enjoyment, "So, in order to encourage myself to keep working hard, I decided to have a big party at home and invite some more girls. Would you like to come too? By the way, I was still in the "Minority Report" crew. Seeing Colin, he agreed."

"Colin Farrell?"

"right!"

Dunn pouted.

Fish look for fish, shrimp look for shrimp, one is cynical, the other is sloppy, and they really like each other.

Tang En just had a big party at home two days ago, and he was in the stage of recuperating, so he refused without thinking~www.wuxiaspot.com~ sternly said: "Don't be ridiculous! Pharrell is still While filming, his career has just started, don't take people into the ditch!"

"It's okay, he agrees."

"Nonsense, he is a famous bad boy!" Tang En waved his hand and said categorically: "This matter is not allowed, don't delay his career! Also, since you are in love with Giselle, you must concentrate!"

Leonardo looked at Dunn in astonishment, "Are you qualified to speak of me?"

Tang En couldn't help blushing, "Why..."

Before he finished speaking, the door of the office was suddenly pushed open.

Ella Fisher hurried in and said quickly, "Dawn, something happened, the World Trade Center was hit!"

Tang En was stunned and shouted, "Go, watch TV!"

Leonardo said calmly: "It's lively now, and the insurance company can't afford to pay for this kind of mistake from the airline!"

Dunn pouted again and again.

Did this guy think it was the airline's operational error?

There was no TV in Dunn's office. The three of them went to Bill McNick's office, only to find that he was also closely watching the news reports of CNN TV.

This is the first scene of the scene. The center of the North Tower of the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center was smashed into a sea of ​​fire, and black smoke billowed.

A chaotic scene, a noisy sound.

"The nature is too serious, how could such a big accident happen? The mayor of New York has to resign!" Bill McNick looked sullen, and apparently thought it was an accidental mistake.

Leonardo saw this cruel picture, put away his cynical look, and took a deep breath, "This... how could this be?"

Tang En stood quietly in front of the TV, staring at the TV screen, almost forgot to breathe.

911, here we come!
