At this time, in a large villa several kilometers away from the street where Chekov was.
Spence was wearing a flashy vest and shorts, with thick hairspray in his hair, looking very hip-hop and cool, with a few black pearls leaning beside him giving him massages. Don't be fooled by his fancy manner, he has a good taste. At least now these black pearls are really worthy of the title of black pearls, they have good figures and good looks, except for the black spots, there is nothing wrong with them!
Sitting next to him was the helper specially sent by Allen after receiving the news from Spencer, Master Allen's new assistant, the psychoanalyst - Jonathan!
…
"Jonathan, relax. Gambia is different from other places in Africa. We are absolutely safe here!" Spencer winked at Jonathan and emphasized the word "safe".
But Jonathan glanced at the black pearls with his eyes, still shook his head without interest, and gently pushed his glasses with his right hand and said: "Master Spencer, before I came here, the boss specifically told me to do my best this time. These people are not simple, we can't take it lightly."
Think about where these people come from. In old American movies or in the famous British 007 series, there are allusions to the departments these people belong to.
But everything in the movie is too labeled and objectified.
In fact, this department named Ke is divided into more than a dozen bureaus. Each bureau has different division of labor and is responsible for different matters, including external, internal and so on.
…
Jonathan recalled that the person who came to discuss business this time was from the Seventh Bureau. His main job was surveillance, but the bureau still retained a certain degree of operational capabilities.
The people here know a lot because they have more contact with the outside world. In other words, they are well-informed!
Moreover, there are many people in the Seventh Bureau, and they are a mixed bag, so...
When the conditions of being well-informed, having a mixed crowd, and having a large number of people come together, it is inevitable that some people will have different ideas.
When he thought of this, Jonathan felt very stressed. He was just an intern!
But now the internship goal is too big. The other party has a whole team, but here he only has him.
…
Fortunately, the place where he is now is his own territory, and he has a little home advantage. Moreover, the other party is eager to acquire him, and he has no choice!
These two factors made Jonathan feel slightly relieved and gave his already insufficient confidence a little more comfort.
“Ahahaha, what are you afraid of? I tell you, this is not their place. They are good in other places, but that’s not the case here. Since Alan sent you here, you should do your best. But before you do it, relax first! It’s okay, listen to me, you have to be brave and take the first step!”
Spencer ignored Jonathan's resistance and smiled, pointing at the two Black Pearls, telling them to serve Jonathan.
"By the way, Alan, don't you have anything to tell me?"
After playing around for a long time, Spencer finally remembered the important matter. There are some things that cannot be said over the phone, so he can only send someone to convey the message.
"Here."
Jonathan felt extremely uncomfortable being massaged by the two Black Pearls. Upon hearing Spencer's words, he quickly took out the briefcase he carried with him, which contained a handwritten letter from Allen to Spencer.
…
After opening the thick file bag, Spencer waved his hand and the black pearls who were surrounding and serving him bowed and left quickly. After the room was clear of outsiders, Spencer took out the contents of the file bag with a serious face.
There is a quotation for this transaction here. As for the specific details, Spencer skipped them directly. He hated Allen's behavior of directly directing various details. He only cared about how much Allen wanted!
Looking at the final offer on the document, Spencer almost laughed out loud. There was a string of zeros on the document, and Spencer counted for a long time before confirming that it was one billion dollars!
Theoretically speaking, given the scale of Gambia, it seems reasonable to sell this business for $1 billion.
But once you understand the operating model here, you will find out how ridiculous the price is.
The business in Gambia is more about various rules and channels than an industrial chain.
No matter what procedures tourists should follow when they arrive, or how the service staff should be trained and undergo physical examinations, etc., they are all light assets, and these things are made up of training institutions.
What is valuable is not the land and equipment, but the people!
It is these multiple departments that make up the present Gambia. If someone has figured out the tricks here, they can completely copy the gameplay here and use the same tricks in other places.
However, whether you can play or not at that time will depend on your specific organizational ability.
…
But the other party should know this now. They are in a hurry to transfer funds. Now it seems that Allen wants to ask for a high price. First, raise the price. Then everyone can slowly bargain...
Anyway, these people have money and are in a hurry. They don’t have enough time to inspect too many projects. Gambia is now a unique business, and it is a ready-made "high-quality asset". As long as they pay money and the management remains unchanged, it can be used as a transitional business, which can not only transition personnel but also funds, and Gambia can be used as a springboard.
Anyway, now it's Zhou Yu versus Huang Gai, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to be beaten. In the end it depends on what price the other party can get. Anyway, we have to take advantage of this opportunity to make a big profit from them.
"Okay, I have a plan in mind. You should go and have some rest first. We will go to receive them together tomorrow night. After we finish this job, we can go home!"
Spencer handed the information back to Jonathan, stood up happily and gave instructions.
He has been running the business here for several years. Now he can finally settle the issues here and go back to enjoy his life with the dividends.
…
“Crack!”
Alan shouted angrily, holding his cool little trumpet in his hand, looking at the group of people on the set, somewhat speechless.
We have to reshoot a scene today, in which Canadian officials find a new group of fake German soldiers to blackmail the Indians by imitating the fundraising method of the British masters.
Director Allen, who has a profound artistic accomplishment, certainly wants to restore the "historical events" of that year more perfectly, but the acting skills of these actors are not very good.
Now it’s not that these fake German soldiers can’t do it, but that these Koreans who play the Indians are a bit too weak, so weak that they have no visual impact.
…
What Allen wanted was for the Indians to refuse to surrender and to defend their property, not for them to kneel down on their knees and offer money with both hands when the foreigners came.
It’s not okay for these Korean cowards to act out their true colors now.
However, after a month of adapting to the set, these Koreans have long been frightened. Now when they see the extras in military uniforms and the moment they raise their hands, they tremble with fear and cannot even stand up. This seriously slows down the crew's filming progress.
But... Although he was angry, Alan had no choice. They were so obedient. The scene was supposed to be about beating them. He couldn't just keep beating them because they were too obedient, right?
There is no resistance at all, how can we shoot it?
Beating them harshly now is no use!
…
"Rex come here!"
After thinking about it, Alan waved to Rex who came to cooperate with the work.
"Master?!"
"I don't care what method you use. I only give you one day, just one day. You have to make these people toughen up and act like Indians. This scene can't be delayed any longer!"
"this……"
Rex looked embarrassed. He was upset when these people were disobedient before. Now they were too obedient and he was even more upset. I...wasn't it all in vain that I trained these Koreans?
But since Allen had already confessed, Rex didn't dare to refuse and had to agree to it.
"Master, don't worry. Tomorrow, early tomorrow morning, you will see my results!"
"Well, let's notify them to call it a day!"
Alan handed the small trumpet in his hand to the servant next to him, turned around and looked at the lawn behind him. In the distance, two people, one big and one small, were playing with Alan's pet Xiao Huang.
…
William has a day off today. Usually when he has a day off, William likes to stay at home and play games.
But today is different. I don’t know what this little brat was thinking. He insisted on following Allen to the set. Well, he came. Before leaving, he specially brought Xiao Huang out from home.
In fact, Xiao Huang is even lazier than William. He doesn't like to go out either. When he has nothing to do at home, except when Alan feeds him, the rest of the time he either wanders around, bullies the servants at home, or sleeps.
Today, William hugged me and forced me to go out to play, and then I met another idle person in the crew who had no role but liked to watch the filming on the side, Kate Winslet.
…
Kate Winslet is only seven years older than William. Apart from social experience, the generation gap between the two is not that big, and they can still play together. The main reason is that Kate Winslet is more fond of the white owl that William brought.
Snowy owls are not too rare in Britain, and many people raise them, but this is the first time Kate Winslet has seen such a fat and white snowy owl. This little pet named Xiao Huang is very arrogant. The more you show that you like it, the more it will ignore you.
Even if William put it on the lawn, it looked like a dead dog, lying on the lawn motionless. Occasionally, when it was forced into a corner, it would stand up and try to run towards Allen to ask its master for help.
…
"Sister Kate, I heard that your hometown is Berkshire?"
William rolled his eyes and chatted with Kate Winslet seemingly casually.
"Um!"
Kate Winslet picked up a small branch from the ground and poked it to tease the little yellow cat lying on the lawn, which was obviously becoming impatient, and then answered William's questions perfunctorily.
She knew that this person was a prince, but what did it matter? Apart from the initial excitement when they first met, the prince was just a little brat. Apart from the pet he brought with him that aroused her interest, everything else...
"I have a friend who is also from Berkshire!"
William, who was always a little out of tune, seemed to remember something. He looked at Xiao Huang on the ground and said quietly.
"Oh? Friend?"
Kate Winslet's eyes suddenly lit up. Is this gossip? The prince's friend?
Male or female?
Thinking of this, Kate Winslet looked at Allen with a guilty conscience. Seeing that he was talking to a fat policeman, she quickly turned around and asked William curiously in a low voice: "Male or female? What's her name?"
Looking at Kate Winslet with a curious look on her face, William became a little alert for a moment.
"What?"
"Hey? I'm just asking. Maybe we know each other..."
…
Although the chance of getting to know someone, especially a child, in a county with a population of 500,000 or 600,000 is extremely low, William had no such concept. He knew that Kate Winslet was from Berkshire and should know his friend, so he wanted to ask her about his friend.
"Um...her name is Catherine Elizabeth Middleton. Do you know her? She is the same age as me and we used to be classmates."
William said a name shyly, and then pretended to glance at Alan casually.
This is his own secret. This person is his self-proclaimed childhood sweetheart. They used to have a very good relationship and even took photos together.
But later, for some reasons, he moved in with Allen and transferred to another school, and the two had little contact. Now he hides the photo in his bedside table and takes it out to look at it from time to time.
…
"oh?!"
Kate Winslet's eyes brightened. She really didn't know the name William said, but that didn't affect her from watching the show. What's the relationship between this girl... and William?
This is a secret about the prince. When Kate Winslet thought of this, her heart beat faster. This kind of secret is not something that outsiders can easily know. She didn't expect to hear such gossip from William today.
Just as he was about to open his mouth to ask a few more questions, a voice suddenly sounded behind him: "What did I just hear Catherine? Who is Catherine?"
…
William looked at Kate Winslet in surprise, and then they both looked up at the person who came - Allen!
"Cousin... I... I asked this sister about my classmate. She's just an ordinary friend. She's also from Berkshire."
William quickly grabbed Xiao Huang, who was crawling on the ground like a maggot and was about to crawl towards Allen. He grabbed Xiao Huang's big claws, pulled it to his side, and held it in his arms.
"Yeah?"
Alan looked at William with some suspicion, his face looked a little strange, and then looked at Kate Winslet. This girl's face looked strange too, she looked excited, nervous, and a little nervous.
It was very similar to when Alan was in school, chatting secretly with his deskmate, and then suddenly saw the figure of the head teacher appear at the back door of the classroom. That nervous and guilty expression was a bit like now.
But as far as I can remember, is there any girl named Catherine around William?
No... I have to check. Alan looked at the two people squatting on the ground and whispering something, raised his eyebrows, and had a new idea.
Why not... write a letter to Diana and give her something fun? I believe Diana will definitely be interested in this kind of thing.
"Let's go, let's call it a day, Kate, how about you?"
Alan looked down and saw everything was white. He was ready to invite Kate to his home for dinner.
