"boss……"
Alan was daydreaming beautifully when Cameron's voice suddenly came.
Cameron looked at Old Carl cautiously, then lowered his voice and said, "Although I don't know the specific details of the plan, but now it's so big... uh... I can't figure out why you don't choose Wales instead of America? If it's in Wales, then... wouldn't it be more convenient?"
…
Alan looked at Cameron and then at old Carl. Although old Carl didn't try to persuade him much, one could tell from his expression that he was worried.
There are some things that need to be explained clearly to my subordinates now. Otherwise... it will be difficult to lead a team if people are not united.
"Why did I choose America? Wales is too small, and the market is too small. You should know why I want these women. I want them to help me sell things. I will only save them if they are valuable!"
"What will happen after I rescue them? I want them to help me develop the market in America. What's the point of leaving them in Wales? If I leave these 500 people in Wales, will Wales have such a big market for them to develop? Do I have to leave several people in one village?"
“…”
Cameron thought of the rural scenes in Wales, and then thought about the villages like this, where there were several saleswomen selling little blue pills. That scene... was indeed a bit eye-catching. The key point was...
Even if all Welsh men were incapable, there are only a little over a million people. If you remove the old and the young, there would only be 400,000 to 500,000 young and middle-aged men? How many drugs can be sold with this?
Besides, that's impossible...
It’s too abstract to think about.
…
"And I can use this opportunity to save them, not only to enhance my reputation, but also to deter any Americans who dare to target us in the future. These Americans are very shady in business, and I can't give each of them a bodyguard, right?"
"But if we implement the rescue plan here, it will be different. If I can pull out so many people once, I can pull them out a second time. What can these idiots who are only concerned about making money use to fight against us? The fat on their bodies?"
Alan said this with a look of disdain on his face.
Since he has come to America to develop the market, he has to be tough. He is a noble lord and can be submissive in his own country, but he absolutely cannot do so in America.
This is where we have to strike hard!
Americans usually don't follow the rules, but they are timid. As long as you scare them and increase the deterrence to the point where they are fearful, chilled, and desperate, they will naturally behave themselves in the future.
Alan's principle in life is never to provoke people he cannot afford to provoke.
This is a big premise.
Even though he usually acts lawless, the people he provokes are those he can afford to provoke or those he is confident he can handle.
Those who are more capable than him have no intertwined interests with Allen, so there is no need for them to be against him. It is not cost-effective, and there is no need to do so.
Anyone who has conflicts of interest with him will never be able to defeat him!
Alan would never touch traditional industries, because they are full of old powerful people with strong cities and powerful guns, and he cannot defeat them. He only touches new industries, or industries that he has developed himself. This is called... an asymmetric attack!
…
"Others... You've been here for so many years, don't you know what the American media industry is like?"
"What is engraved on the stone tablet at the base of the Statue of Liberty, the symbol of America?"
Cameron was stunned when he heard Allen's question. How could he know what was engraved on the stone tablet at the base of the Statue of Liberty? Who would remember that?
Alan looked at Cameron and snorted coldly, "What an unlearned waste!"
"Let those who are tired and penniless after long journeys because they long to breathe the air of freedom, lean on each other and throw themselves into my arms! I stand at the golden gate, holding high the lamp of freedom."
This is the symbol of America, the meaning of the Statue of Liberty.
"As long as the plan succeeds, these women I rescued will be heroes. They came to Los Angeles under the guidance of the Statue of Liberty. They will be widely reported by the American media, and I have given them new jobs. No matter what they do in the future, the outside world will be more tolerant of them than ordinary people! Even if they do something indecent, it's the same, because these are people praised by their media and recruited by the Statue of Liberty. No one will slap themselves in the face. I want their media to give my future new employees amulets to protect my business. Do you understand?!"
It feels great to look down from the moral high ground. It feels even better to stand on someone else’s moral high ground and make them helpless against you!
Alan is very skilled in this trick. Now he is putting new medicine in old bottles, taking other people's paths and leaving them with no way to go!
As long as you hold high the banner of freedom, it depends on how you American media respond. Even if they have to pinch their noses, they have to praise you. Master Allen is tall, Master Allen is hard! Master Allen's female employees are tall and hard!
…
The American media usually likes to use double standards. If these women came to America from Wales to develop the market, then they are the most ordinary foreign workers. Should they be treated preferentially?
There's no such thing as preferential treatment. Just the identity issue is hard to overcome.
But if they were rescued in Los Angeles now, they would be a group of poor people who have been reborn in America, and they will then realize their American dream!
The American Dream! Get it?
Allen is just someone who helps them realize their dreams.
No matter who rescued them, they were rescued in America, and the Los Angeles police were involved. Doesn’t this represent the inclusiveness and advancement of America?
In this case, are they heroes?
Shouldn't we be more tolerant towards these poor people who have been hurt?
Although rescuing people here is troublesome and difficult, as long as this job is done, we can kill multiple birds with one stone and solve the problem once and for all.
A comparison of the two rescue locations reveals the advantages.
…
After listening to Allen's explanation, Cameron suddenly realized that he was not stupid, but sometimes, there were some things that a technical person like him could not understand. Cameron was completely unable to handle something as serious as Allen.
Now it seems...it turns out that he still has to follow the right big shot. He is just a lousy director, he is okay at making movies and playing with special effects, and he is also okay at flattering people, but the rest...he is really not good at it.
"Okay, what are your plans for the afternoon?"
Alan didn't even think about going over to say hello to the "delivery men" who came from afar. He was afraid that if he got too close to these people, he would not be able to help but stretch his right arm forward and shout slogans.
"Master... uh, according to your schedule this afternoon, you can go visit that small film and television company. They are in the San Fernando Valley, not far from here. There will be a banquet tonight to welcome you. Several patriarchs of big families in California want to meet you."
"Oh? Haha, they are well-informed."
Allen glanced at Old Carl. His subordinates all knew his face-conscious personality. Even though he had instructed them to keep a low profile this time and not to make much noise before the matter was done, the banquet still had to be held. Even if not many people came, as long as the status of the people who came was high enough, it would be fine.
If ordinary people want to make a living in America, they may think that there are opportunities everywhere, making money is as easy as picking up money, there is freedom, and even the air is sweet.
If you really think so, go to bed as soon as possible.
It’s pretty good for ordinary people to have jobs, earn money, and prices are not too high!
In this world, there are territorial divisions everywhere, just like in Britain. A county, a county, even a district, has clear divisions. Some are big families, some are small families, and all kinds of forces are entangled together, densely packed.
A place like Wales is considered a very peaceful place. There are few people here, and there are fierce families like the Hill family suppressing them all year round. Any larger family cannot rise up. But outside of Wales, the class system has long been solidified.
As for America...although it has only a history of more than 200 years, 200 years is enough time for them to divide the territory. In addition to emerging industries, traditional industries also have their own niche.
However, due to inherent conditions, the division of power here is not as dense as that in Britain. There may be only a few large families in a state, and the rest are densely packed small families that are not worthy of being on the stage. They may rise in a short period of time, or they may not exist for many years before disappearing.
The families that old Carl mentioned are the local, local tyrant families that can truly exist for a long time and have a say in the House of Representatives. Theoretically speaking, these families can represent the entire State of California, and they are the real rulers here.
I have to meet these people, but what should we say when we meet...
Alan narrowed his eyes, already impatient for these Americans.
…
The three-story office building is not high, but it occupies a large area and has a large indoor area.
There is a huge artistic logo hanging on the door. In recent years, the fame of LOOK Film and Television Company in the United States has sometimes even surpassed those traditional film and television companies in Hollywood.
Even though this small film and television company may not seem serious and the films they make are all for adults, they make money!
While the outside world was generally affected by the economic crisis and the industry as a whole was in a downturn, they made a fortune by selling videotapes.
The first floor is a high-rise office area and warehouse similar to a storefront.
There is always a security guard at the door, and every guest who comes here must make an appointment in advance, because ordinary people are too busy and have no time to receive ordinary guests.
Today, at the Look Film and Television Company, after lunch at noon, the company boss, all the staff without filming assignments, and the security guards gathered downstairs to greet the legendary big boss, the British aristocratic lord, whom they had not met in the past few years!
…
"What the hell is this?"
Alan looked at the filming scene inside through the window with a confused look on his face.
He had never seen a pornographic film shooting site in person, but he had seen pictures of it on the Internet before. This time... he came here to visit the Small Cannon Film and Television Company under his control.
Although his face looked a little serious, Allen actually came to inspect with the attitude of learning from others. He had to admit that among all the companies under his control, this small film and television company had the least staff turnover, the best corporate atmosphere, and the strongest relative profitability.
If you can achieve this level in making a pornographic film, you have real talent!
But he didn't expect what would happen when he just started the inspection?
It was a man, his body covered in yellow paint, with a furry tail behind him, his face painted in all colors, his nose was black, and there was a circle of golden hair on his neck. He looked like...
The lion has become a spirit.
What the hell is this? Are you guys, a bunch of foreigners, secretly filming Journey to the West here? Are you trying to make a killing?
…
Meeting Allen's gaze, a middle-aged bald white fat man next to Allen glanced at Cameron who was following next to him.
When Cameron saw the middle-aged bald man looking at him, he gritted his teeth and cursed in his heart!
She was a little reluctant, but had to say: "Boss... I... am now a consultant here. We are betting on movies in advance. Among the movies that will be released next year, there are a few that I think should do well at the box office, so... we will imitate their genres and produce corresponding follow-up works in advance."
"You think this is a copycat? Which movie is it copycat?"
Alan pointed at the lion-like figure of the man in the room, feeling a little puzzled.
"As for The Lion King...it's an animation. There's still hope for it. There haven't been any particularly popular animations on the market in the past few years."
Cameron muttered in a low voice, somewhat aggrieved.
"The Lion King?!"
Alan looked at the man inside, then at Cameron...
"You guys are following the trend with cartoons too?"
Although Allen's level in the film and television industry is considered mediocre and not very professional, but he can understand you guys making porn movies, even if you followed the trend of Superman before, but this time you actually followed the trend of an animated film. He really doesn't understand the train of thought of these people.
"Boss! I need to report."
The middle-aged bald man raised his hand, ready to rescue Cameron.
"you say!"
"You may not know that as a leading enterprise in the industry, our company cannot always be conservative and keep shooting traditional themes. At the industry conference last year, I set an example that we must adopt the attitude of a big company in the industry and make breakthroughs in the field of adult films. For this film, we also used a little special effects, and we will definitely..."
Alan's heart trembled a little as he watched the middle-aged bald man opening and closing his mouth, describing to him the responsibilities and ideals of a leading company in the industry.
This group of people are making pornographic films and they are also showing a sense of social responsibility?
You used special effects in a rough film?
Do you know how much special effects cost per second?
Do you really think that all my money comes from the wind?
But if he quarrels with these people, he has no excuse. First of all... they did do well in the past and made good profits. They are making these changes now in order to make further progress.
This... from the bottom of my heart, there is nothing wrong with it.
Secondly… this movie hasn’t been released yet, and even Allen can’t guess the specific effect. In other words, it hasn’t failed yet, so why is he making a fuss?
This matter is...
Alan felt a nameless rage stuck in his heart. These Americans are just causing him trouble. They are always messing around!
