    After attending the cocktail party in Washington, Li Kaiyuan returned to Hong Kong soon after, while Shen Chong went to New York and continued to engage in various investment and profit-making businesses. This was not because he had lost interest in movies as the outside world had speculated, but because he was interested in movies.  I love movies so much that I have to hide in the United States and force myself to pause my actions in the film industry to give Hong Kong, Taiwan and the Mainland time to digest the various influences he caused in 1980 - the film industry in 1980 was like a  It's a small pond, but he is a big whale. If he moves a little, the waves will splash. If he doesn't stop for a while, all the small fish and shrimps will die sooner or later.  "Die Hard" with a medium investment shocked the entire industrial system. If another large investment is made, how will the Academy Awards be held next year?  If Oriental Charm takes over all the awards, what¡¯s the point of the Academy Awards?  The growth of talents takes time, the cultivation of the market also takes time, and the opening up of the mainland takes even more time. Therefore, Shen Chong can only tie his own hands, abandon his martial arts, and make trouble in the United States. In 1980, the GDP of the United States exceeded 3 trillion U.S. dollars.  It's huge, you can mess around with it, and you don't have to worry about other people's lives or the butterfly effect.  On Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, there is a skyscraper called the Olympic, built in 1976 by the Greek shipping king Aristotle.  Developed by Onassis and designed by the famous SOM firm, it is 189 meters high and has 51 floors. The ground floor is commercial, the middle floors are offices, and the upper floors are residential. When you are in it, you can see St. Patrick's Cathedral and Rockefeller Center. It is currently the most popular building in New York.  One of the most sought-after comprehensive high-end properties.  When Shen Chong bought a sea-view villa in Los Angeles last year, he also bought a view house here as a foothold on the east coast of the United States. However, he was in a hurry, traveling all over the world, and rarely stayed in, so he was very deserted.  , it wasn¡¯t until I came here in September and stayed for two months that the empty mansion had some human flavor.  "Mr. Shen, it's time to eat." "Okay, I'll be right away." Shen Chong stuffed a few folders into the drawer, then stood up and walked out of the study. He saw four dishes and one soup on the dining table in the living room. The aroma was all good, so he said with a smile: "Sister Xiaoyue is good at her craftsmanship. I'm lucky to have you these days, otherwise I would have starved to death in New York." A few months ago, the Chinese government sent a group of elites from various industries to study in the United States. With advanced knowledge, Wu Xiaoyue was originally supposed to go to the University of Chicago to study economics, but she used Shen Chong's connections to transfer to Columbia University in New York, and used her spare time to intern at Shen Chong's private investment company to accumulate work experience. Also in this building, Wu Xiaoyue sometimes comes up to help with cooking after get off work.  "I can only cook some home-cooked dishes. If Mr. Shen gets tired of eating, I will have nothing to do." "In a foreign country, hometown dishes are the most delicious. I can eat even tomatoes and scrambled eggs for several months."  Chong took out a bottle of wine from the wine cabinet and poured the wine while saying: "Sister Xiao Yue, don't be so polite. We are friends after work. Wu Ziming and I are brothers, and you are his sister. Call me Xiao."  Just Shen or Ah Chong." Wu Xiaoyue just smiled implicitly and did not respond.  "Sister Xiaoyue, are you used to living in New York?" "It's okay. I like it very much. The pace of life and work is very fast. There is endless work to do every day. It's not like in China where you have nothing to do all day long.  "I heard that the country is sending you to study in the United States for two years. Do you plan to stay in the United States or return to China after two years? If you want to stay in the United States, I can help you arrange it." "No, I will prepare it after two years."  Return to China for development." Her firm and decisive answer surprised Shen Chong, "I heard from Ningning that Sister Xiaoyue not only resigned from her job, but also got divorced in order to come to the United States. I thought you were planning to immigrate to the United States.  "Ning Ning is such a little gossip. She even told you such trivial matters." Wu Xiaoyue smiled a little self-deprecatingly and explained: "I resigned because I couldn't stand the bullshit in the unit. I wanted to get divorced."  "Then why does Sister Xiaoyue want to go back to China? I heard that many people in China are planning to immigrate here."  I want to live a good life. It is indeed good to stay in the United States, but in addition to life, I also want to do something career. The social environment in the United States is too stable, and there is racial discrimination. The development space is limited. There is a lot of waste in the country.  There are many things you can do, Mr. Shen, didn¡¯t you also go to the mainland and come to the United States? "Interesting This is a very ambitious and visionary woman "What big things are Sister Xiaoyue going to do back in China?" "I  I don¡¯t know yet.¡± Wu Xiaoyue picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: ¡°Why don¡¯t you teach me, Mr. Shen?The gap between China and the United States is huge. There are many things that I have never heard of before. It has been almost half a year since I came to the United States, and I still haven¡¯t even found a basic research direction.  ¡± Wu Xiaoyue¡¯s appearance is very grand. In the words of the ancients, her face is like a silver plate, and her eyes are like apricots. When she smiles, she is full of the roundness and grace that only a mature woman can have. She has a dignified but sultry style, which makes Shen Chong feel happy.  He jumped, took a sip of the slightly cool wine, and then said: "I think with the deepening of reform and opening up, many domestic state-owned enterprises may go bankrupt or be reorganized. You may wish to pay more attention to corporate mergers and acquisitions and asset restructuring.  " "I also have thoughts in this regard. When Mr. Shen was at Boeing last time, he mentioned the acquisition and reorganization of Kaizer Industries. I wonder if you can let me have a look?  " "The dust of Kaiser Industrial has basically settled. Now there are only some insignificant finishing work left. How about this. I am currently preparing a new acquisition plan. If you are interested, you can participate in the whole process. I think this time  Acquisition may be more valuable.  " "Really? What are you going to acquire this time?  " "Eat first. After dinner, I will take you to a movie and explain while watching.  "    "what movie?  ""Heaven's Gate", a new work by Michael Cimino, the Oscar-winning director last year, is said to have invested US$35 million and was just released a few days ago.  "That's right, "Heaven's Gate", Shen Chong's super masterpiece that he had been waiting for for nearly a year, was released on November 19, 1980. The investment of 35 million US dollars only earned a box office of 4.2 million US dollars, a terrible loss.  , United Artists is originally the weakest among the eight major Hollywood film companies. First, it has no independent distribution channels, second, it does not have the backing of a big boss, and third, it has no blood transfusion from surrounding industries. If we don¡¯t take advantage of the opportunity to acquire it now, we will wait until later - United Artists  Art Film Company owns the rights to Chaplin's classic comedies, Stallone's "Rocky" and the 007 series of movies, each of which is a hen that lays golden eggs.
