Chapter 193 Sister-in-law Becomes Wife and New York

May 1, 1997.

International Labor Day.

But in the United States, it's business as usual.

Americans don’t have an International Labor Day holiday, and they don’t even have maternity leave.

It was still a sunny morning in San Francisco today.

Milo's favorite seasons are early summer and early autumn in San Francisco.

Because the climate is pleasant, both the sunshine and the temperature are very comfortable.

Especially the sunshine, which makes you feel warm when it shines on your body and makes you unable to resist being lazy.

He opened the silk quilt, stood on the carpet, raised his arms, stretched his body, his muscles and joints shifted with the movements, he tilted his neck left and right, walked into the bathroom, and soon the sound of running water could be heard.

Wiping the water stains off her body, she walked into the cloakroom and saw a packed travel bag nearby. The corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.

He will be flying to New York soon. Although the sister-in-law is still being stubborn, it can be seen that she is becoming more and more obsessed.

They slept together last night, although because her belly was too big, they couldn't really do that kind of thing anymore -

Every woman has to be tasted by him after she becomes pregnant, so how can my sister-in-law be an exception? It’s just that the first three months and the last three months are the stable period and the delivery period.

That's really not to be touched.

Hailey is in labor right now and can't really be touched.

But last night, with his efforts, she contributed the flaming lips that began to adjudicate cases in Santa Clara County.

To Milo's other women, this was nothing.

Even Ariana, who was still very young, was half-cajoled, half-tricked, and half-begged by him to help him.

But this is Haley. Until Robin came, she was the representative of those who say one thing and do another.

Now that she was willing to do this for him, Milo naturally felt happy.

So, I got up early in the morning and packed his luggage.

How is this different from being a wife?

Milo found a set of Trefoil hoodie and casual pants and put them on. He picked out a watch and put it on. Then he shook his slightly wet hair and walked out of the bedroom.

Haley heard the bedroom door open, came out of the kitchen, and said to Milo, "Come over for breakfast."

Robin returned to Boston to persuade people in his hometown.

In the kitchen, of course, Haley didn't cook herself.

She doesn't have that ability. If she cooks herself, she will probably only be able to make white food like the lower-class white people in the United States.

What is white rice? It is a bunch of pre-made dishes, including eggs, which are mixed together and then put in the oven to bake or steam.

It is very convenient and the price is not expensive because of industrial production.

Nutritionally speaking, apart from the high calorie content which is not a disadvantage, it is also good in other aspects.

But if you want something that is delicious and tasty... please, go eat at Michelin.

Milo nodded, walked over and kissed Haley, then put his arm around her waist and walked into the restaurant.

"You have to go to work today. I don't force you to stay at home to recuperate, but I ask you to stop immediately if you feel tired or unwell during work, otherwise I will worry about you."

"I know," Haley said obediently.

It seems that after getting Robin's endorsement and acquiescence, her attitude towards Milo has changed greatly.

In the past, in front of Milo, she acted like a sister-in-law most of the time.

Except in bed.

But ever since Robin found out, Hayley now treats Milo more like a wife treats her husband in private.

Maybe she used to treat Paladin the same way she does now.

After breakfast, I cleaned up everything.

"Okay, come on, give me another kiss." Milo stood on the porch with a smile on his face, hugged Haley who was hugging him tightly in his arms, patted her back gently, and bent down to kiss her hair a few times.

Only then did he separate from Haley, who had an uncomfortable expression on her face, and walked out of the house holding hands with her, and waved to her before getting into the car.

"call……"

In the car, Milo exhaled a breath of foul air. He found that he hated the feeling of separation a little bit.

But at the moment, it seems that only Haley can give him this kind of emotion.

No one else, not even Ariana.

Reason told him that this was probably because it actually happened in the past.

The beautiful, intelligent and rational sister-in-law is the object of Milo Blackburn's admiration.

Now that he had succeeded, he got that wifey feeling from her again.

So naturally different from other women.

This is also why he didn't let Haley see him off at the airport.

In front of the private airport tarmac at San Francisco International Airport.

Monica, wearing a tight gray business suit and carrying a large handbag, was standing at the door of the aircraft hangar waiting with two other assistants.

Seeing the black Cadillac Escalade parked on the side of the road, Monica immediately ran forward and opened the door before the bodyguard in the passenger seat got out.

Milo got down from the car, glanced at Monica, who had a rosy complexion and a sweet smile on her face, and nodded slightly. Kenny got out of the driver's seat, handed the car keys to a bodyguard waiting nearby, and he and David quickly followed Milo.

United Global Security Company has been acquired by Milo for more than a year.

In addition to building a special training base in the north of New York City.

A larger special training base was also built in California this year.

Currently the company has about two thousand employees, in addition to the security department which mainly serves Milo and his family and women.

The internal PMC sector, namely private military armed services, also started operating.

They are mainly scattered in some US military bases, doing some work on behalf of the US military.

Without taking into account the huge investment made by Milo in the two bases, it actually made a profit.

Milo nodded slightly to the other two assistants, and Gina and Christina greeted them with a smile. Without wasting any time, the group walked up the ladder and started boarding the plane.

On a Boeing 747... this was certainly not Milo's own.

The 747 he customized from Boeing has completed its test flight, but is still undergoing internal modifications.

It will probably be next month before the plane reaches him.

The Boeing 747 we were riding on was on long-term lease from Delta Air Lines.

The main reason was that after he took a Boeing 747 private jet, he found that the Boeing 737 was extremely bumpy.

If the economy allows, then of course the more comfortable it is, the more it will come.

"...Hearst Media agreed to exchange TBS shares for Paladin Media shares in proportion."

“…”

Listening to Monica and her two assistants reporting a briefing about the media group.

Milo nodded in satisfaction.

The integration of the media group went basically smoothly, which made Milo very satisfied.

Once it is completed, Paladin Media will be basically perfect in the media industry.

What satisfies him most is Universal's film library.

You know, Universal has a film library of nearly 4,000 films alone.

If Milo had to shoot it himself, or write the script and have someone else shoot it.

That will take some time to film.

For a film company, for a film company that wants to develop and move forward, rather than following behind a big company, the film library is always the most important thing.

As long as there are enough film libraries, even if you suffer a major blow, you will have the capital to rise again. Otherwise, it will be easy to be controlled by others.

It is not easy to build a film library, whether making it yourself, purchasing it from others, or clarifying the copyright ownership during distribution.

There are many means, but there are also many competitors, and in the end, financial resources still have the final say.

Miramax has built up a film library of only over 700 films over 20 years.

Although Bosworth has been established longer than it, it has always been hovering in the second or third tier, and its film library is almost the same.

There are even fewer new lines, only 500.

Which of the seven major film studios doesn’t have a film library with thousands of titles?

Even Universal, which is currently ranked relatively low, has more than 4,000 films.

If it were just this, Milo would not be as satisfied as he is now.

In addition to this library of more than 4,000 films, TBS has many more.

As early as the early 1990s, Ted Turner had considered acquiring MGM.

But due to some well-known reasons, the deal fell through.

But Turner did not give up. He took this opportunity to plunder most of MGM's film library.

As we all know, there are seven major film studios in Hollywood, but before the 1980s the number was eight.

There is also a location for United Artists.

This small company, originally founded by Charlie Chaplin and his friends, took more than ten years to develop, but finally reached its peak in the 1930s.

Although it has experienced ups and downs since then, it has always remained firmly in its position.

Unfortunately, there are always some unexpected things in this world that people can't imagine. In the late 1970s, United Artists invested 40 million in "Heaven's Gate", but lost all its money and was eventually merged with MGM.

That was 40 million dollars in the 1970s...

The same first-line film company, the same long history, one can imagine how much MGM's film library has been enriched as a result.

However, MGM soon followed in the footsteps of United Artists.

Although it is not in danger of merger due to investment mistakes, its gradual decline is unstoppable.

What's more, there was a boss like Kerkorian. So after only ten years, it was in danger of being acquired by TBS. Although it finally got rid of this danger, it also paid a heavy price.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Of course, a brand name like "007" is impossible to sell.

But Turner took the copyrights to at least 3,000 films, so today, Paladin Media has a library of nearly 7,000 films.

Now that Paladin Media has acquired Universal, it can basically rank in the top three.

"This means that you, boss, are invincible." Turner said this to Milo more than once.

With a film library of nearly 7,000 films, it can generate tens or even hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue each year.

Although it has to be shared with other copyright owners, it is still a considerable profit.

Just imagine, a huge sum of money falls on your head just because you sit there and do nothing.

That's why Milo says that emphasis is invincible.

If DreamWorks had such a huge film library when it was squeezed out, it would definitely not be able to survive.

In addition to the movie library, there are also cartoon libraries, TV series libraries, etc.

What TBS got back from MGM was not only the movie copyright, but also half of the copyright of "Tom and Jerry" and many cartoons.

It now seems that both the acquisition of TBS and the acquisition of Universal were the right decisions.

Not to mention the company's several acquisitions, after it decided to cooperate with traditional media groups.

The cooperation with News Corporation and other media groups is quite pleasant.

However, it was the opposite of what Milo expected.

The cooperation between Paladin Media and News Corporation seemed to have come to a standstill after the New Year.

On the contrary, when negotiating the remaining shares of TBS, Hearst Media, the original second largest shareholder of TBS, responded very positively.

Not only is it active in this matter, it is also very cooperative with Paladin Media in other areas.

Hearst Group is not only a giant in the publishing industry, but also involved in many other areas.

For example, they have launched their own channels and have collaborated with other TV stations in the past.

During the TBS stock negotiations, they expressed their hope to join forces with Paladin Media and cooperate in other areas.

Milo did not miss this opportunity and fully cooperated with them on TV.

It was his decision to broadcast "How to Make a Millionaire" on their channels at the same time. Hearst Group really needed Paladin Media for this, so the level of close cooperation was very high.

In addition to the cooperation with Hearst Media, Paladin Media, whose integration is nearly complete, has also cooperated with another New York media giant, the Newhouse Group.

The Newhouse Group's main business is basically in newspapers and magazines.

Several of its famous magazines, such as The New Yorker, Vanity Fair, Vogue, etc., are all needed by Paladin Media, so they are more at ease when facing Paladin Media.

However, Newhouse is also currently entering the Internet, and Paladin Media has unparalleled advantages in IT.

So the two sides have a good cooperation in this regard, but the level of cooperation is not as close as that of the Hearst Group.

And there is a possibility of confrontation in the future, because the Paladin Newspaper Group, a subsidiary of the Paladin Media Group, is currently impacting Newhouse's areas of expertise.

Although he failed to achieve his expected goal, Milo did not take it to heart.

In a few years after the millennium, this situation will quickly disappear, and those who are currently close will only become closer.

After a few hours of flying.

On the private tarmac of New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport, six black Cadillac SUVs were parked in a row beside the hangar door.

Wearing a black suit and looking like an elite businessman, Kim Pu held down his blond hair with his hand and watched the private plane slowly stop not far away. Soon the ladder truck docked and the cabin door opened.

The first to come out were two giant men as big as iron towers, followed by Milo and three women in OL suits following behind them, and six bodyguards carrying luggage.

In addition to these, there are eight other bodyguards on the ground.

Kim Pu was a little speechless about Milo's bodyguard lineup. How cowardly this guy was! It was such a waste of his muscles.

If Milo knew what Gimp was thinking, he would definitely look at him with contempt.

Muscles are useless under the gun.

Guns are already rampant in the United States, and he makes so much money just to enjoy himself.

Don't be sent to see God before you have enough fun. He doesn't believe that he can travel through time again.

Milo had known for a long time that Kim Pu was coming to pick him up at the airport.

A while ago, the second season of American Idol started filming.

Of course it is still managed by Gimp and broadcast on Fox TV.

When the two parties were on the phone, Milo casually mentioned that he could provide Jinpu with a tailor-made program.

It is a personal program for Jinpu, a program that can make him stand out.

Who is Jinpu?

Anything that can bring him attention is his favorite.

Jin Pu was very concerned about this and kept asking questions.

Today, after hearing that Milo had returned to New York, he even came to pick him up at the airport.

"Even if you don't want to tell me now, that's okay. I'll always be waiting for you, Milo. Who can let Miracle Blackburn personally plan the show? Only me! Haha!!"

In the carriage, Jinpu laughed loudly.

Miracle Blackburn, this is the latest nickname given to Milo by the New York Times.

A few days ago, The New York Times put Milo on the front page again.

The headline of the front-page news was "Blackburn's miracle in two years".

The content of the news mainly talks about Milo's various experiences in the two years from 1995 to this year.

From novels to movies, from media to the Internet, from Los Angeles to Wall Street, and from Wall Street to Houston's energy corridor.

So Milo added a new nickname, "Miracle Blackburn", to his already numerous nicknames.

What this means is that he specializes in creating miracles, whether they are literary or business miracles.

"Don't test me like that, Don." Milo shrugged and looked at the guy. "I can tell you that this show can be called The Apprentice. Or it can be called... Gimp's Apprentice."

"I like the second name," Gimp said without hesitation, and it suited his personality so well that Milo looked aware, and Gimp noticed and laughed.

"Basically, the show will start production at the end of the year, so you have half a year to prepare and make yourself more dazzling," Milo continued.

"Why not now? Although the details are still unclear, I am definitely capable of doing it." Jin Pu was a little impatient.

"If it's just about ability, I believe it. But you also know that my media group is about to go public. By then, I will need wave after wave of good news to make my company's stock soar to the sky." Milo spread his hands.

"Okay, no problem. I can cooperate with you anytime you need me." Jin Pu laughed again and didn't insist on anything. He was not a stupid man.

He also holds a 0.5% stake in Paladin Media, which he obtained by exchanging shares in Jinpu Group and Fangdd.com, as well as the copyright of "American Idol".

After keeping Gimp in suspense for several months, Minogue finally unveiled today the reality show that he claimed was tailor-made for him: "The Apprentice".

This is one of the few business-related reality shows in the United States as far as Milo can remember.

The participating salesmen have to complete a variety of tasks and receive comments from Jinpu.

If you fail, you will have to leave under his merciless ridicule.

The winner can get various rewards, such as the right to use a luxury house for a week or a certain position.

This commercial reality show in a parallel universe has a very good viewership rating.

Besides, he has a good relationship with Jinpu now, so he might as well do it and let Jinpu take the spotlight.

At the same time, good ratings can also be a small boost to help Paladin Media impact its stock price.

Milo isn't worried about the show doing poorly in the ratings.

At worst, the winner’s reward would be to be promoted from a position in Jinpu Company to a position in Milo Company.

For example, the winner can become Milo's work assistant, which is sure to drive America's business administration elites crazy.

So the ratings of this show will only be better than the one in the previous life.

Who asked Gimp to have such a super supporter like Milo in this life?
