Chapter 328
Mostly he is a veteran fishing player, otherwise he wouldn't have installed a sonar.
California has a lot of fish resources. In the east, west, and south of the United States, most states rely on the sea, and almost no one can eat freshwater fish. When they learned that a group of people came, they were hundreds of meters away, and the captain immediately turned off the engine. A group of crew members carried buckets to the water and poured various meat mixtures and animal internal organs into the water.
Throwing rods, pulling lines, and completing them in one go. Ye Dongqing has caught fish. The technique may not be very good, but I know what to do.
The first fish was caught by Mr. Cook a few minutes later. A hairtail fish was shiny and white all over. It was still alive when it first came out of the water and soon stopped moving. This kind of fish was prone to death, so there was almost no living hairtail fish on the market, which was very suitable for charcoal grilling.
Just pull the fish up, so naturally someone is responsible for taking the fish off the hook and then re-hanging the bait.
Afraid of losing the fish, Mr. Cook just said thank you, and then threw the bait into the sea again. Ye Dongqing also got a fish on the side. He opened the door and saw a big dragon grouper, which was the giant grouper in people's mouth. He weighed more than seventy pounds and had a stalemate for more than ten minutes. He used the energy to feed the other party to the side of the boat. According to Mr. Geffen, if the sea water had not heated up two months earlier, this kind of fish rarely appeared in the waters in northern California. It was a fish that likes warm water.
I definitely want to take photos. I took a few photos with the fish in my arms and asked me to send them to myself at that time. Ye Dongqing continued fishing, and she had a thick cigar on her hand. She was more or less drunk. When I caught a fish, my grandson even sweared, but the squid was thrown back to the sea by him.
Time passed by minute by minute, and more and more fish were caught. When Mr. Geffen was so lucky that he started to compete with a yellowfin tuna, no one cared about his bait and they all came around to see if he could catch this fish. Although it was not the more precious bluefin tuna, it was already very good to meet a yellowfin tuna. Unfortunately, the fish was not big, and it looked less than one meter, which made Geffen lose all interest and even wanted to break the line and let the fish leave.
Ye Dongqing was not polite and volunteered to take the fishing rod. When he successfully caught it, his legs were sore. People found ice cubes and placed the poor tuna on it.
Except for the crew members who ran before and after, no one cared about how much these fish were worth. The picture was just a fun thing. After the temperature gradually increased, a group of people sat in the air-conditioned cabin and chatted and drank watermelon juice. Someone was helping with grilling fish on the deck and preparing to make some sandwiches with fish meat.
Mr. David Geffen was very patient, so he brought the topic to business and told me: "Leo, I recently thought of a good idea, about creativity in the Internet industry, are you interested in working with me?"
This is a serious matter, and no one else interrupted in an instant. Ye Dongqing had already learned some general situation from Mr. Cook. At this moment, he pretended not to know and said, "Oh? I know more about this line. What are you going to do?"
"Movies, and music, I know many bosses of big companies who can do it with them, use computers to sell movies and music, listen to them on the computer, watch them, and my youngest son mentioned this idea to me, and at that time I was wondering why not realize it? It will definitely make more money to share their share than now. I think as long as I do a good job of operation and promotion, I will definitely make money."
Geffen actually doesn't understand the Internet industry. Like other rich people in their fifties, he just wants to succeed again and pass the time through investment.
Ye Dongqing had already figured out a way to deal with it. He was not very optimistic about this area. He shook his head and said with a smile: "I think you found the wrong person, sir. You should contact Tim in terms of music. Apple has a project that specializes in taking out music. As for the idea of online movies, I can help you contact Netflix. It is now the best online video disc sales company in the world. It is very experienced in this area and may be happy to add another department.
I also founded a video sharing platform. Unfortunately, the network transmission speed is too slow and the technical requirements are not met. Some people may be willing to buy it, but they cannot watch them smoothly yet. In addition, the rental market is already very developed and the prices are very low. People may not be able to use small computer screens to watch movies, just like cardboards, often stuck, and there will definitely be no less trouble."
It sounds very professional, and David Geffen can understand it. He also conducted market research before finding Ye Dongqing, and his conclusions are also inclined to be not optimistic.
Don’t think that major companies invest huge amounts of money to shoot movies, just box office. Global box office is important, but movies are not useless after the listing period. Some people will watch them. If they rent a movie DVD and go home to watch them, these film and television companies can make another profit, and most of them are still a steady stream of income.
Some movies do not perform well in box office, but they are very suitable for the rental market. Compared with movies, TV series with long series are more profitable. Take the already complete sitcom "Friends" as an example. Now they can make hundreds of millions of dollars in profits every year, which is why investors are willing to spend a lot of money to shoot movies.
Mr. Geffen did not stick to his own ideas. He inexplicably believed Ye Dongqing's vision. He must be more professional than himself, an outsider. He replied discouragedly: "Okay, it seems that I can't achieve another glorious period for my career. I originally thought I could do something in the Internet market. As for cooperation with Apple, I was already helping Tim contact the bosses of those record companies. You should treat me to a big meal. After all, you are the major shareholder of Apple."
"Haha! Of course, call me anytime if you want to eat!"
Ye Dongqing doesn't want to talk more about the topic of cooperation. He has sentenced him to death for the project. According to Boni Ma, Tencent is trying to get involved in this aspect, but the model that suits China may not be suitable for the United States. People are used to sitting on the sofa watching TV shows on TV instead of sitting in front of computers.
As soon as the topic changed, when it came to models and celebrities, except for him and Mr. Cook, most of them were living in Hollywood. They had common topics and would not feel bored if they listened to them. They all had all kinds of gossips that had not been reported, such as who had a mess with a venereal disease, which top actress recommended herself for a chance, and more of who invested and made money, and who lost money.
Considering Mr. Geffen's influence, Ye Dongqing also deliberately mentioned her relationship with Laura, hoping that he could help her show up in DreamWorks movies. This was not a problem. The rich people just helped each other, so they agreed on the spot and said that they would make arrangements when they went back.
