"Mr. Forrest, I will still give you a chance. Are you interested in joining our Columbia? I am a generous person. I admire your talent and I can forgive your deception..."

"Thank you, Mr. Allen, but I'm sorry, I won't go..."

"Do you know where your future will end? Do you think a company that is excluded can exist?"

"I don't know, but I am a failure. I once failed miserably, but I struggled to get back on my feet. So even if I fail again, it's just a process for me to get back on my feet. 'Huaxin Brothers' can apply to close down, but I won't..."

"Well, good luck to you."

"Thanks."

…

Hollywood.

The doors of Huaxin Brothers Entertainment have been closed for almost three days.

Although it has not closed down, it is temporarily closed down.

Erica looked at the door silently, and fell into confusion for a moment.

Then...

She dragged her luggage and left the company where she had worked for nearly half a year.

She is on holiday.

I was told that I had a week's vacation.

Even so, she felt like she was out of a job.

The setting sun shone on her gradually receding back, and at the same time cast a long shadow below her. She looked very lonely and confused.

She was actually very confused.

The "American Er Gouzi" fan club had been trying to find a way to help Lu Yuan. There was a fan who had connections with the top management, and as long as that fan made contact and had a few words, all of this recent series of events would be over.

But these were rejected by Lu Yuan in advance.

Lu Yuan used Forrest's mouth to tell these fans not to do anything else.

The company is temporarily entering a period of adjustment and is not closing down, nor is it being ostracized by Hollywood.

Everything is fine!

Several reporters around took up their cameras and took pictures from time to time, but they couldn't capture anything useful. They only captured Erica's back.

In the eyes of reporters, Erica's back looked very desolate, and her departure also announced the temporary end of the "Huaxin" brothers.

On the fourth day after "Huaxin Brothers" was closed, the door finally opened slowly.

Reporters saw Forrest arriving with his moving company.

In addition to some necessary and valuable things being moved away, some tables, chairs and other things in the company were sold at low prices...

"The last dignity of the Huaxin brothers. It was once brilliant, but after the brilliance, it came to an end..."

"The world-renowned pianist Lu Yuan and Chinese all-round superstar Lu Yuan's attempt to enter Hollywood has failed..."

"Reflect on whether we in Hollywood are really xenophobic, and whether some people are afraid of something?"

“…”

Countless news appeared on the headlines of the Hollywood entertainment industry. After appearing, it was replaced by the news of the interview with the famous Hollywood producer Allen about "Beasts 2". Allen said that "Beasts 2" will surpass "Beasts" and will become a real Hollywood blockbuster. When asked about the "Huaxin" brothers, Allen also expressed a little regret, saying that there are many things he can't help, not that he rejects Lu Yuan...

In short, Allen spoke very politely, smiled brightly, and when he was interviewed he seemed like a successful person who did not take the "Huaxin" brothers seriously at all.

Anyway…

Although this incident caused a small stir, it immediately returned to calm like the splashes in the sea.

Many people know that in the future, this "Huaxin" brother will eventually become history temporarily.

…

"Mr. Wu...what do you think of Migos Cinema?"

"This cinema chain is located on the edge of the United States. It was established about ten years ago. Except for the initial profit, it has been in a state of continuous loss for the rest of the time. There are rumors that the boss of this cinema chain owes nearly 200 million yuan in debt and is forced to do nothing. Although the address of the cinema chain is good, many of the facilities in the cinema chain are relatively old. If they are renovated, it will cost at least tens of millions... Compared with other cinema chains, Migos actually has a little advantage..."

"Two hundred million... tens of millions..."

"Mr. Lu, the two hundred million I mentioned refers to US dollars... Mr. Lu, according to comprehensive estimates, it will take about 1 billion RMB to have a chance to revive the original. Of course, a series of operations will be needed in the future, but in business, many things depend on the right time, the right place, and the right people... Mr. Lu, forgive me for being blunt, the right time, the right place, and the right people are very illusory. Even if it is about the right people, you are very lacking in Hollywood..."

"Mr. Wu, if the cinema chain is handed over to you to run, are you confident?"

"Mr. Lu, I'm sorry, I can only help you for three days. After three days, I have to go back to China."

"Haha, I know. I mean if... aren't there a lot of things in this world that we can assume? I know it's three days, and today is the last day. Don't worry, Mr. Wu. Didn't I buy your ticket back to China?"

"Well, thank you for understanding."

Hollywood Third Street.

Lu Yuan and Wu Shirong stood at the entrance of Migos Cinemas, quietly watching the people coming and going.

Compared with other cinema chains, this one looks a little depressed.

The two walked into the cinema and took a look. Many of the equipment looked ordinary and quite old.

Even Lu Yuan knew that this cinema was on the verge of being eliminated.

Wu Shirong silently explained some things to Lu Yuan, and Lu Yuan also wrote them down in a notebook.

During the past two days, the two of them basically visited all the cinemas in Hollywood, big and small. After that, Lu Yuan also had a certain understanding of the cinema industry.

It is difficult to run a cinema chain, and the competitive pressure is also very high.

Wu Shirong has a good impression of Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan is not as arrogant as others say, nor does he have the cold and unruly temperament of a hero as described in the news reports.

He is very humble, and at the same time he is always like a student and never puts on airs.

Of course, he knows his identity, and at the same time, he also knows his responsibilities.

He was just borrowing it temporarily from Mr. Wang, and the loan period was three days. Within three days, he would do his best to help Lu Yuan, and after three days, he would return to his post.

That's all.

"Mr. Lu...what do you think?" Wu Shirong looked at Lu Yuan, who was leaning against the wall and staring at the Migos Cinemas sign. After looking for a while, Lu Yuan looked at the two forks in the road again.

At this time, Lu Yuan looked very quiet, and his expression seemed to be in deep thought.

"Mr. Wu...I am like a gambler now. Should I bet all the money I earned in the past two years, or continue to be conservative as before?" Lu Yuan was actually looking at the two forks in the road ahead.

He is hesitating!

He cherishes the money he has accumulated in the past two years.

This money was hard-earned. At the same time, Lu Yuan always had the idea in his heart that if something unexpected happened, he would apply for bankruptcy without saying a word and just use the savings to enjoy life!

In a sense, this money is a way out for Lu Yuan.

"Mr. Lu, I can't answer these questions." Wu Shirong remained silent.

Usually when faced with such a big thing, he would choose to keep silent.

After all, no matter how you answer, it won't be quite right.

"Oh, Mr. Wu, let's leave this matter here for now. Come with me to Hollywood to look at another house..."

"Hmm? What house?"

"I need a house to start a company. I plan to buy a house near Hollywood..."

"Your 'Hua Xin' is not..." Wu Shirong looked at Lu Yuan and didn't understand for a moment.

"The rent at Huaxin is due soon, so I don't plan to rent that place anymore. I plan to start over somewhere else. Mr. Wu, I heard from Uncle Wang that you have some analytical skills in real estate, right? There are some cheaper places here. Do you think we can get a bargain?"

"Mr. Lu, I'm not Zhuge Liang..."

"I want to hear your analysis. It doesn't matter even if it's wrong." Lu Yuan suddenly laughed.

“…”

…

evening.

After Wu Shirong followed Lu Yuan to see the house, he neither objected nor agreed. He remained silent from beginning to end.

There is a house on the edge of Hollywood, Los Angeles.

The house is not big, about four floors.

The landlord's asking price was not cheap, it was 10 million US dollars.

Ten million US dollars, plus some decoration, it would be nearly 80 million RMB.

In Wu Shirong's opinion, this place is a bit remote.

However, he really couldn't tell what the future would be like.

Forrest looked at Wu Shirong and Lu Yuan.

In the setting sun, Wu Shirong was looking at the surrounding environment and constantly analyzing and pondering, while Lu Yuan was looking at the corners around the house.

A few minutes later, Wu Shirong raised his hand and looked at the time.

"Mr. Lu...my plane is about to arrive."

"Mr. Wu, I would like to invite you to dinner to thank you for your company over the past three days..."

"No, I have to go...I can't miss my plane."

"Oh... that's really a pity..."

"Haha, it's okay... There will be a chance in the future. By the way, Mr. Lu, I can't analyze it now. Give me a day or so. After a day, I will send you some data, as well as an analysis of the pros and cons..."

"good."

After Wu Shirong finished speaking, he turned and left.

There was no intention of staying any longer.

For him, three days is three days, not a minute more or less.

That's part of his character.

After Lu Yuan and Forrest sent Forrest on the plane, they sat in the cafe and ate steak.

At first both were silent.

Forrest seemed to be thinking about something, while Lu Yuan's mind was full of the staggering investment of more than one billion people.

More than 10 billion may be an ordinary and insignificant amount in the eyes of a wealthy man like Wang Yaohua, but in Lu Yuan's eyes it is a huge sum of money.

He had to be careful.

After about ten minutes, Forrest suddenly looked up at Lu Yuan silently.

"boss……"

"What's wrong?"

"We will have a place in Hollywood. In the future, all these sons of bitches will have to kneel before us. We will slap them in the face and make them call us daddy!"

"Can you get drunk by drinking coffee?" Lu Yuan looked at Forrest, whose eyes were flashing with passion, and suddenly laughed.

"Boss, I didn't... I just... I just feel that we are destined to be the kings! Just like your half of "Destiny". Ever since I was ostracized from the company, I listen to your "Destiny" every day. I feel that this piano piece contains your roar of unwillingness, as well as your ambitions."

"Haha, Mr. Forrest, I have no ambitions, you are as misunderstood as everyone else."

"In short, boss... I once fell into an endless abyss, and it was you who pulled me out of the abyss. No matter what, no matter what the future holds, I will always follow you. If you want to charge, then I will be the death squad. If you want to block the muzzle of a gun, I will be a shield..." Forrest took a deep breath and looked at Lu Yuan, his eyes burning and sincere.

"Well, but what if we lose?" Lu Yuan's smile gradually disappeared, and finally he silently looked at the long street in the distance outside the window.

The long strip of Hollywood is beautiful.

The lights are very bright.

"If I lose, I lose. The worst that can happen is I can start over from the beginning..."

Forrest drank a cup of coffee and also looked at the long street.

He just felt that there was a future for him here.

If he were a gambler, he would have placed his bet.

…

It's late at night and everyone is asleep.

"Are you asleep?"

"not yet……"

"How was your viewing today?"

"well enough."

"What do you think?"

“…”

"Why are you silent? Are you hesitating?"

“I guess so.”

"The cinema is not going well?"

"Not yet."

"Which company is the target?"

"Migos Bar..." Lu Yuan silently said the name of the cinema.

"Migos, estimated investment of 1 billion RMB?"

"Um."

"Are you struggling?"

"yes."

Wang Jinxue called Lu Yuan.

After Wang Jinxue heard the slight silence in Lu Yuan's voice, she understood a little.

"Lu Yuan, if you want to buy something, just go ahead and buy it... You don't have to worry about anything... Even if you really lose, even if you are completely defeated, you still have me... It doesn't matter if you lose everything, you still have me... At least, you have a lot of talents, you are a great hero..."

“What if one day I no longer have any so-called talent?”

"You are Lu Yuan. No matter you have talent or not, you are still Lu Yuan. There will never be another Lu Yuan in this world. Talent is just a potential thing of yours. It cannot represent anything, let alone you! And I said before, you will never be penniless in this life. At least you still have me. You have no money, but it doesn't matter. I have money. I won't say how much, but it's enough for us to live happily for the rest of our lives..."

"Um... don't be so sentimental all of a sudden. I'm not used to it..." Lu Yuan felt a little embarrassed. He was moved but also a little scared.

"Lu Yuan, I love you."

“…”

"Why aren't you talking?"

"Don't be so aggressive in your confession... I... I have goosebumps all over my body..."

"hehe……"

"I love you too."

Lu Yuan suddenly said something.

Under the midnight moonlight, Lu Yuan looked at the sky silently and nodded solemnly.

He suddenly laughed.

Having a great time laughing.

Then he pulled out the drawer and looked at the acquisition plan that Mr. Wu had made for him.

…

"Boss Wang, I'm back..."

"oh."

"Mr. Wang..."

"What's wrong?"

"I feel like he's a tyrant... I can't figure out what he's thinking."

"Why do you say that?"

"I have no idea……"

"Okay, don't let him brainwash you. What I admire most about him is not his talent and ability, but his amazing brainwashing skills... His company... He's almost turned it into a pyramid scheme... If I didn't know you were a principled person, I would be really afraid that he would brainwash you and poach you..."

“…”

"And even if he is a tyrant, isn't he still my future son-in-law? Haha."
