Chapter 22 22. Joshua's Thoughts

MGM Tower, Eric's office.

"Gal Gadot?"

"Who else could it be? I found her contact information the day you gave me the task, and flew to Israel the day before yesterday. I met her through my agent."

"But this girl is a bit difficult to deal with, or to be more precise, her family is difficult to deal with. She is only 17 years old now, a minor, and cannot make many decisions on her own. I don't want to bear the responsibility of abducting an underage girl."

Eric couldn't help but laugh: "You are the best at picking up girls among us, how can you not be able to handle a little girl? Didn't I give you certain permissions?"

"Yes, I gave her the role of the second female lead in a movie, an opportunity that many people would beg for, but she refused to take the bait. Besides, her father is very stubborn and would not buy it at all."

"Wait. I want to clarify one thing. Does the resistance come from Gal Gadot or Gal Gadot's parents?"

Judy paused for a moment and said, "Most of them came from her parents. They even doubted my identity and had to meet the big boss before they would believe it."

Eric sneered. Sending someone over was already a courtesy. He didn't have the time to do such a trivial matter.

After thinking for a moment, Eric said, "What is Gal Gadot's family background? Have you done any research?"

"The time was too short, so I only got to know her briefly. Her ancestors were European Jews who became refugees during World War II. Starting from her grandfather's generation, they fled to Israel. Her family conditions were OK, but they were not wealthy."

"Well, are her grandparents still alive?"

"Grandpa is still alive. He is not young anymore. I have visited her at home."

"Got it. Try again. The opportunity is right in front of her. If she gives up, it will be her own loss. And tell them that if they come here, I have a way to exempt her from military service."

"Then try your best. What if she still doubts?"

"Back home, MGM doesn't lack anyone, especially actors!"

In the evening, the cheap brother Joshua Cooper suddenly ran back and gave him a bear hug when they met.

Eric's physical fitness was already quite good, but it was still not as good as that of a professional football player. He felt that all the flesh in his body was shaking violently.

"You want to give me a concussion?"

"Hahahaha. There are no weaklings among the Cooper family's children. You little brat actually acquired MGM without making any noise. If mom hadn't told me, I would still be kept in the dark!"

"Just for this, you want to kill me and inherit my company?"

"Sure, okay?"

The two brothers laughed out loud, and their mother invited everyone to eat.

"Eric, how much did it cost to acquire MGM?" Joshua asked curiously.

Eric held up three fingers as he ate.

“$300 million?”

"Haha. Can you use some imagination? Do you think $300 million is enough to buy a long-established film and television company?"

Joshua's lips trembled. "No, it can't be $3 billion."

“About this price.”

"OH MY GOD!"

Joshua's eyes widened in surprise, and then he began to roar: "Why buy that damn MGM? Why not buy the 49ers?"

"After acquiring the 49ers, I am the boss's brother. I can play whatever position he wants and I can make anyone I want to leave. I have disliked that guy Garrick for a long time!"

Eric nodded seriously: "Acquiring a team is indeed a good idea. After entering the new era, I have a feeling that both football and basketball will usher in a period of explosive growth."

"But the company is just getting on track now. At least wait until I make some money. I'll give you a job as a team manager in the future."

Joshua's expression suddenly became vulgar, and he laughed, "The team manager is not important, let's discuss something."

"What's up?"

"Since MGM is now owned by Cooper, how about I work part-time as a talent scout?"

Seeing his lewd look, Eric's mind immediately sounded an alarm: "Joshua, you are not trying to use this as an excuse to pick up girls."

Joshua hurriedly denied it and glanced at his mother, who happened to be glaring at him as well.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Joshua, I warn you not to mess around. I can't control what you do outside, but don't affect Eric's career, otherwise I will beat your ass in front of your coach and teammates. You know I will do this!"

Joshua's mouth twitched: "I'm kidding, mom. Besides, I've never messed around outside and I'm still single."

"But our team's cheerleading squad is pretty good. There are a few hot girls in it. Maybe if there's a suitable role, I can let them interview. Of course, there is absolutely no deal between them and me. I simply want to make a contribution to the company."

But obviously no one believed what he said, and Eric had no good feelings towards the cheerleading team.

Magic Johnson of the Lakers contracted AIDS because of his chaotic private life.

After the news broke, the entire Lakers team, including players, staff and cheerleaders, all went for examinations, with the focus on the cheerleaders.

You should know that normal interpersonal communication, including kissing, will not transmit AIDS. The main transmission routes are only mother-to-child, blood and sex.

The infection of one person caused the entire team to become extremely nervous. They were definitely not mother and son, and it was impossible for them to donate blood to each other. So the only way of transmission was sex. This shows how chaotic the team was. The cheerleading team was simply the team's public toilet.

"Joshua, forget about cheerleading. Be careful not to get AIDS!"

The father glared at him fiercely and warned him: "Joshua, you must restrain your behavior. I don't want a woman with a child to come to my door suddenly one day. What I don't want to see is more than one woman with children coming to my door!"

"If this really happens, I will be rude to you! Do you understand?"

Joshua shrank his neck and muttered quietly, "I knew I shouldn't have come back. I just made a suggestion. Is it necessary for three people to target me together?"

Eric smiled and said, "How about this, if there are really outstanding athletes, you can introduce them to us."

Joshua curled his lips: "It's better than nothing."
