Chapter 151 Pregnant



Chapter 151 Pregnant

Late at night in Los Angeles, although the lights are dim and neon lights are flashing, some streets seem a little deserted under the light of the street lamps.

In this entertainment capital, things become different when night falls.

Some streets can suddenly become very dangerous, but as long as you don't hang out in such places casually, ordinary people can still live a good life in Los Angeles.

Milo looked out the car window at the drunken men and women on the street and some homeless people in the corner, and he couldn't help but take a deep breath.

“Woo woo…”

A few minutes later.

Britney, who had been stealing glances at Milo's profile with a blush on her face, was wiping her mouth gently with a wet tissue.

"Not so bad now, right?"

When Britney heard Milo say this to her, she was stunned and her face felt a little hot.

She spoke softly in a voice as small as a mosquito.

"You'll get used to it. It hurts a bit."

Milo said with a smile, and reached out to touch her hair with satisfaction, making Britney look comfortable like a puppy being stroked.

And see that in the future, Sweetie will become popular among hundreds of millions of men in the United States and drive all middle-aged people in the world crazy.

Through my own adjustments step by step, it becomes more and more in line with the image of the pet I want.

Milo was also very happy.

And Milo felt that this was not his fault.

Who said that at the beginning, this girl came to me on her own initiative.

He was talking to her in the corridor at the time, and everything was going well.

She suddenly pounced on me.

He was forced! At first he just wanted to train her to be his cash cow, like Michael Jackson and Madonna, the king of pop.

But this seems pretty good.

You can let her make money for you and enjoy her completely at the same time.

Especially when she had just blossomed, everything about her was still very green, and even her body and soul belonged to him.

Very good, it makes him want to raise a few more.

Who else is more suitable?

Avril Lavigne?

Not bad, it should be there now. But in Canada, we need to send someone to look for it.

Taylor Swift?

This one is smaller, and it should be now. But if it is raised this small, it should feel better.

As for singers, apart from Britney who has already got them, only these two Milos want to collect them.

As for female stars, Scarlett seems to be about the same age as Avril.

Anne Hathaway, Megan Fox, Blake Lively, Alexandra Daddario...

If it is suitable, you can find it out and cultivate it slowly.

Just like Britney now.

Thinking of this, Milo suddenly felt that his bad taste was very evil.

"Come……"

He touched Xiao Tiantian's neck and, with a little force, brought her towards him.

"This is just like singing and dancing. You need to practice hard to become better."

"Have you rested enough?"

"Um."

Seeing her gentle response, Milo smiled and said, "Remember to be more careful this time..."

So in the bright lights of Los Angeles.

Milo's team is about to make their official debut.

Britney Spears, who taped her debut show at TBS studios tonight, was sent back to her home.

Even when she got off the bus, she had already eaten half full.

After saying goodbye to Britney, Milo was about to lead the motorcade back to his new villa in the Bel Air community.

Suddenly, one of his private cell phones rang.

Milo answered the call casually. He had been leaning lazily in his chair, but suddenly he sat up straight.

"Sure?"

"It's confirmed. Blood and urine tests have been done."

After a long while, Milo said softly, "Okay, then just follow my original arrangement."

The next day,

San Francisco.

In the master bedroom of the villa, Sophie Marceau was wearing a gray woolen shawl, with a peaceful look on her face and her hands placed on her belly.

The upturned corners of her mouth let anyone see that she was in a happy mood.

She recalled how excited she was when she saw two red lines on the test paper yesterday morning.

The panic and anxiety she felt when she knew she was pregnant almost made her want to run to Los Angeles to find the man who made her pregnant.

He walked back to the bed very carefully and picked up the phone to ask for leave from the crew.

She still has two scenes to perform, and she can wrap up the filming after she finishes filming them.

But now, she hopes to postpone it for a while.

At least...at least wait until my stomach settles down.

I lay on the bed, stroking my lower abdomen. I just kept stroking my lower abdomen, leaning on the bed with a silly smile, feeling relieved and happy. I don't know how long I stayed like this.

She was still distracted until the maid came to call her for lunch.

But the smile on his face made everyone else feel extremely surprised.

Sophie Marceau was suddenly brought back to her senses by a knock on the door. She turned around and saw one of the two new female bodyguards opening the door.

A capable woman came in pushing a food cart.

"Ms. Marceau, this is a nutritious meal prepared for you based on various data analysis of your body. It will have great benefits for your physical fitness and the development of your fetus..."

Sophie Marceau sat on the dining chair, looking at the nutritious meal in front of her, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Vivian, you can just call me Sophie. According to what you said, we will be together for a long time in the future."

Vivian was stunned for a moment, but still smiled and nodded: "Okay, Sophie."

Sophie Marceau was eating a nutritious meal which tasted pretty good with a smile on her face. It was obvious that she was in a really good mood.

She didn't expect that Milo would take it so seriously.

When she was confirmed to be pregnant, five new women with unfamiliar faces came today, and Sophie Marceau was confused for a while in the morning.

Fortunately, she received a call from Milo soon.

Two female bodyguards were responsible for her safety. She already had two of them, arranged by Milo.

Now it's four.

A nutritionist, a psychological counselor, and a female doctor provide close care for Sophie Marceau.

Four female bodyguards, three professional caregivers, plus two male bodyguards standing guard outside, a driver, plus the original two maids and a housekeeper.

Milo arranged eleven people to take care of her while she was pregnant.

Milo did not show up. Except for the bodyguards and the housekeeper, no one else knew who the employer was. However, because of Sophie Marceau's special identity, the confidentiality agreement was signed with a sky-high penalty.

But it’s actually okay now, Sophie Marceau is not very famous in the United States.

But if we wait until "The Da Vinci Code" is released, the situation may be different.

On the other hand, Milo did not rush to San Francisco.

It was now the end of May, and he was entangled in another matter.

In the chairman's office on the top floor of the Paladin Media building in Los Angeles.

"Universal hasn't been sold yet?"

Milo looked a little surprised. He leaned back and looked at Andre, a member of the Smith Foundation, and said, "I remember that the Japanese sold it to the Canadians last year."

Andre nodded, then said softly, "That happened last year. At that time, Canada's Seagram Wine Company sent their CEO Edgar Bronfman to Neon to participate in the negotiations."

"It is said that the two sides had a pleasant conversation. Seagram intends to accept Neon's shares for $6.7 billion."

"But then something unexpected happened and Seagram delayed the payment of funds. By the end of the year, Seagram's investment in the foreign exchange market failed again."

"The Japanese were very dissatisfied, so they filed a lawsuit against Seagram."

"The acquisition was shelved and the Japanese regained control of MCA."

"But the Japanese's intention to sell is still very obvious. In the five years of operating MCA, the Japanese invested a total of US$10.5 billion, but only received a loss of US$3 billion in return."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"In other words, it doesn't include the $6.5 billion that was spent on the acquisition of MCA."

"The Japanese lost more than $13.5 billion from MCA."

After saying this, Andre pushed a document in front of his boss.

"This is a brief profile of MCA. Boss, if you are interested, you can take a look at it."

Milo took it and opened the document to read.

After Sony spent more than $3 billion to buy Columbia Pictures in 1989.

Not long after, another Japanese company, Panasonic, also bought MCA for 6.59 billion.

At that time, the Japanese were clamoring to buy the entire United States.

Then it was a black humor era when three-quarters of the properties in the Pearl Harbor area were bought by Japanese people.

However, it didn't take long for the Japanese to burst their bubble when they personally took action against the central bank president.

The neon bubble era ended from then on.

The MCA Group assets purchased by Panasonic include:

Universal Pictures itself, MCA Television Group, MCA Home Video and Pay Television, MCA Recording (including Geffen Recording, which MCA purchased from Dave Geffen in March 1990), Putman Publishing, 40% of Cineplex Odeon Cinemas, Universal Amphitheater, 50% of USA Cable, and Universal's vast film and television library.

And of course, finally there is the Universal Studios theme park.

This included Universal Studios, which had just opened near Orlando, Florida in June 1990.

As a joint venture between MCA and British Rank Films, this project was booming at the time.

This is also why MCA Group needs $6.59 billion, while Columbia Pictures only needs more than $3 billion.

The Japanese, who had just taken over such a huge entertainment empire, were ambitious and wanted to save the MCA Group, which was mired in losses.

They kept pouring money into it, throwing in huge amounts of US dollars.

Then they were surprised to find out.

No matter how much money they invested, Universal's top executives could make them lose it miserably.

Take Universal Pictures as an example. In the five years since Panasonic acquired it, it has not made a profit in any of the years.

Even Spielberg's two blockbusters in 1993, "Jurassic Park" and "Schindler's List", could not save Universal Pictures.

Over the past five years, Universal Studios alone has caused Japan to lose nearly $4 billion.

In short, it is outrageous that such a huge group is losing money even on a project that is 100% profitable, such as an amusement park.

And they turned around and found that their neighbor Columbia Pictures Group, run by Sony, was in the same mess.

So these Japanese people finally realized that they had been fooled while shouting "Japanese beasts".

Panasonic really couldn't stand it anymore. With the bubble of the Japanese people bursting, Panasonic's own days became increasingly difficult.

Last year, Panasonic decided to sell the entire MCA Group.

Their asking price was not high, seven billion dollars.

In five years, it has only increased by less than $500 million.

This does not include the money they lost.

Many companies were interested at the time, but the Canadians were the fastest to act.

Seagram's Wine Company personally sent its CEO to negotiate with the Neons.

Finally, the two parties confirmed their transaction intention at a price of US$6.7 billion.

But Milo didn't expect that something unexpected would happen.

After reading the information roughly, Milo pushed it aside and pondered.

There is no doubt that he was moved.

That’s Universal, one of the eight major Hollywood studios!

The key is not just Universal, it also includes Universal Pictures and the corresponding film library copyrights.

It also includes many other assets.

For example, 50% of the shares of American Cable Television and ownership of Universal Studios.

The former was established in 1977 as a missionary station by televangelist Pat Robertson and evolved into the Family Channel in 1990.

Its subscription volume ranks among the top five cable TV channels in the United States.

If I could get it, I wouldn't have to pay attention to HBO or AMC anymore.

And there's Universal Studios, even though it now looks like a poor imitation of Disneyland.

But in a few years, as the dinosaur IP continues to flourish, the Jurassic Park project alone will be enough to make Universal Studios a huge profit.

Not to mention that I already have a lot of IPs, such as Harry Potter and The Da Vinci Code.

We will have to find opportunities to monetize these in the future, and the Universal Studios project is a ready-made one.

Finally, as one of the Big Eight in Hollywood, Universal Pictures undoubtedly has its own distribution channels.

And this is exactly what Paladin Media lacks the most at the moment.

"call……"

Exhaling, Milo said to Andre, "Is there any way to contact the Japanese?"

"certainly."

Andre nodded decisively.

He has been with the company for over a week.

Milo did not give him any tasks, but asked him to familiarize himself with the information of various companies in the Blackburn system first.

But Andre couldn't wait for his boss to tell him to do so before he performed his duties as chief financial manager.

So this chief financial manager who used to work for Seagram's, the world's largest wine company.

He combined the boss's hobbies and circumstances.

Sort out the information about the failed transaction between Seagram and the Neons.

Sure enough, the boss who aspired to become a media giant took a liking to it at first sight.

"But boss, if you want to buy out the 80% of MCA Group shares held by the Japanese."

Andre suggested: "You'd better go to Tokyo in person. I believe that because of your reputation as the youngest billionaire in the world, the Japanese will pay great attention to you."

Milo was stunned for a moment, but he quickly realized what Andre meant by this.

Neons may indeed take themselves very seriously.

But that's not why he's the world's youngest billionaire.

It's definitely because of the thick layer of Mi on my body, which brings up the three-flag BUFF.

The Japanese value noble bloodlines the most, and one's own bloodline is probably invaluable in their eyes.

He also thought that he was going to go to Asia this year.

In that case, let's go.
