Chapter 300: Did you inhale poisonous gas in your mother's womb? (5200)
Fang Yu really underestimated the huge stimulation that the pressure from the superior creature brought to Weinstein.
After returning to the Temple of Dendur, Weinstein kept shaking and couldn't stop shaking.
Unlike the physiological fear caused by the mental attack of the "Terrifying Gaze" that completely ignores rationality, the pressure from the superior creature will not make people lose their sanity, nor will it cause mental damage to the other party or loss of vitality.
This is a combination of the fear that people feel when they encounter something that goes against common sense and is incomprehensible.
To put it bluntly, it is a drop in the sun.
But precisely because of this, the momentum is more lasting.
It lasted so long that Weinstein didn't even attend the private celebration after the Met Gala.
As an annual fashion event that brings together the largest number of upper-class people, after the Met Gala ends, several high-end bars and some more secretive private clubs in Manhattan are packed every year.
Hundreds of people who attended MetGala and thousands of people who were unable to attend MetGala for various reasons but belonged to the upper class or had connections with this circle gathered at various private gatherings in Manhattan to continue the second half of the socializing.
It’s just like when some big companies hold annual sales meetings with thousands of people, the shopping malls near the hotel will be packed that night.
Obsessed with paper and money, entertaining oneself to death.
"Gis, I'm going to go change first. Are you coming to the celebration party at BoomBoomRoom?"
Cindy Crawford held up her skirt with her hands. She kept this pose for almost the entire night, but she didn't look tired at all and was still full of energy.
Fang Yu shrugged. "Emily and I have already promised Rihanna to go to Up & Down for her celebration party. I prefer a more high-energy environment."
Fang Yu had just met Rihanna. Originally, Rihanna was going to hold three concerts in Los Santos in the next two days, but due to the threat of terrorist attacks, she had to postpone them, so she still participated in the Met Gala.
Among all the celebration parties in recent years, the most popular one was the party hosted by Rihanna. Therefore, Fang Yu agreed as soon as Rihanna invited her.
This year's celebration parties included three larger ones: one official one, another sponsored by high-end custom dress supplier Balmain, and another one was Rihanna's celebration party.
Cindy Crawford returned her Balmain dress this year because the style didn't match Rihanna's, so she could only attend the official one.
Of course, there are also many people who will run around, first showing up at the official celebration party and Balmain's celebration party to take photos, and then going to Rihanna's celebration party to have fun.
Cindy Crawford sighed knowingly: "Okay, I forgot you are still young. Of course you don't want to be with us older people. I hope you have fun."
"Are you going to Up & Down too?" Kendall said nonchalantly, "Then we can go together."
Fang Yu glanced at her and asked, "Aren't Kim and Kanye going to Gilded Lily? Aren't you going there?"
Kendall seemed a little flustered: "I have a contract with Versace and cannot attend Balmain's celebration party."
"Huh? Is that so? The contract should only stipulate Met Gala and not include the celebration party, right?" Kaia Gable asked casually. As soon as she said this, Kendall glared at her fiercely.
After just having a social event outside, Kendall came to Fang Yu's table under the pretext of chatting with her best friend Kaia Gamble.
She is very familiar with Cindy Crawford's family. Since she was eleven or twelve years old, she often played with Kaia Gable and Will Smith's son Jaden Smith, and they were childhood friends.
Seeing her childhood friend glaring at her fiercely, Kaia Gable was completely confused.
What's going on? Are you fighting with Jin again?
Fang Yu was about to speak when the phone rang. He glanced at the caller.
Xiaoya?
Fang Yu picked up the phone, and his face darkened after just a few words.
"Okay, I get it. You should check who's behind this first. Don't worry, it will be solved soon. Yeah, it's okay, don't worry."
After hanging up the phone, Fang Yu couldn't help but sneer.
They acted quickly enough. I want to see who dares to put pressure on Chunriyou through the Great Zhou.
——
Up&Down on West 14th Street is the hottest nightclub in New York in recent years. It has two floors and the consumption is extremely high. A simple glass of ice water costs 25 dollars. If you want to have a good time there, the average cost per person is at least 2,000 dollars.
Several of Fang Yu's cousins, the second-generation descendant of the Chinese Great Council, were also studying in New York. They had previously shared their expenses on WeChat Moments: ten people, eighty thousand Malaysian dollars a night, and they weren't even considered VIPs.
"Hi Kendall, Emily, and Keith, Samantha makes amazing cocktails. You should definitely try some later."
Rihanna, who also changed into a tight, shiny gold dress, acted like a hostess, holding the arm of a dwarf who was no more than 1.6 meters tall, and kissed everyone on the cheek.
Here, no one cares whether Kendall Jenner is 21 or not.
"My friend, Rich Akiva, is also the owner of this place." Rihanna smiled happily, and it was obvious that her mood was not affected by the threat of terrorist attacks.
Friends? You don't look like a friend. P friends?
"Hey, friends, welcome. Kendall, Kim, and Kylie just sent messages saying they're coming over too. Oh, and Jaden and Hailey, Emily, come on, give me a hug. Is this the new boyfriend you told me about? Bro, you're so enviable... Um... Wait a minute, I've got a call. Hey, Leon, of course I'm here..."
As soon as Richie Akiva, who was wearing a black leather jacket and black-framed glasses, opened his mouth, Fang Yu felt a sense of familiarity.
Isn’t this Tama the kind of gold medal male marketing?
Seeing Akiva on the phone, Rihanna went to entertain other guests, and Kendall whispered to Fang Yu about Akiva's background.
This guy is now the king of New York's nightlife. He owns nearly half of Manhattan's high-end nightclubs and has the contact information of almost all Hollywood stars in his phone.
Also, Richie Akiva is also a squid.
Aren’t any of the powerful figures in the entertainment or literary circles we see today squids?
Fang Yu recalled it carefully.
No! Not even one! All of them!
Not to mention Harvey Weinstein, the owner of CAA, one of the largest talent agencies in the world, and Levitt are also out.
You can tell who the CEO of Vogue's parent company, Condé Nast, Roland Schauberg, is by just looking at his name.
Warner, MGM, Universal, Disney, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post...
All the ones that can be named are here!
Fang Yu stroked his chin and pondered for a moment.
"Hey, girls, give us men some alone time, okay?" Not long after, Richie Akiva came back staggering, clapped his hands, and wanted to put his arm around Fang Yu's shoulders, but the height difference between the two was a bit too big, so he had to put his hand on Fang Yu's back.
Fang Yu's eyes flashed and he was overjoyed.
In his field of vision, a circle of red light appeared above the head of Richie Akiva, who had just been harmless.
I told you, I am now the general agent of Wangshu Tears in Beimai, and after visiting the Met Gala, it is impossible not to attract covetousness.
Why did you make me wait so long?!
Kendall and Emily really gave Richie Akiva face. After making a few jokes, they went to drink with some familiar people. On the DJ stage, ASAP was shaking his head and singing his own rap songs.
"Brother, let me introduce you to a friend." Richie Akiva patted Fang Yu on the back. "He's a real big shot. You'll definitely be interested."
"Big shot?" Fang Yu smiled slightly. "Okay, where is he?"
Richie Akiva was stunned for a moment. As the king of New York's nightlife, he had just keenly noticed a hint of mockery and disapproval in Fang Yu's eyes.
Will Ali step on an iron plate this time?
Richie Akiva's body language remained affectionate as he led Fang Yu to a private room upstairs.
Directly opposite the private room is a wall of transparent glass, through which you can see the panoramic view below. Moreover, this glass is variable glass. When you press the switch, the glass will become one-way glass, and you can only see outside from the inside, but you cannot see inside from the outside.
Sitting on the luxurious sofa in the middle of the private room was a middle-aged man with gray hair, in his forties or fifties, with a rebellious look on his face. Behind the sofa were two burly men who were obviously bodyguards.
Fang Yu was stunned. He had just seen this man at the Met Gala. He seemed to be a major shareholder of Endeavor, one of the largest brokerage companies in the country.
What's his name? Oh, Ari Emanuel.
Is this what they call a big shot?
Fang Yu couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
But looking at the search information sent by Youzi, this guy is not only the boss of the largest economic company in Miami, but he is also the younger brother of Rahm Emanuel, the former Chief of Staff of the White House and current Mayor of Chicago.
The brothers Rahm Emanuel and Ari Emanuel are also among the most influential Zheng Zhi brokers in Washington.
Zheng Zhi is a socialite, but she is not a big shot at all, so why is she pretending to be so?
"Gis, nice to see you again." Ari Emanuel, who was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed and not getting up, patted the sofa and said, "Come, sit down."
He was originally sitting in the middle of the sofa. No matter which side of him Fang Yu chose to sit on, or the other two single sofas, he would be in a passive position in terms of momentum as soon as he entered the door.
Fang Yu suddenly smiled, walked forward, and kicked one of the legs of the sofa seemingly accidentally. With a click, the B&B worth 20,000 Mai Yuan had one leg broken by Fang Yu!
Bang!
A corner of the sofa weighing hundreds of kilograms fell heavily to the ground. Emmanuel, who was sitting on it with his legs crossed, was caught off guard and almost slipped off the sofa.
Fortunately, his two bodyguards were quick to help him from behind.
What happened? Why did the sofa collapse?
"Rich, the furniture in your store seems to be of poor quality." Fang Yu raised his eyebrows at Rich Akiva and sat on the single sofa on the left.
Ari Emanuel and his two bodyguards didn't know what was going on, but Richie Akiva, who was walking behind them, saw it all and couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling.
Just a light kick and the sofa leg was broken?
Dana White doesn’t have this ability, right?
If one corner of the sofa is sagging, even if you sit in the middle, it will only look ridiculous instead of impressive.
Ari Emanuel had no choice but to stand up and sit on another single sofa.
But the other single sofa is closer to the door, and according to the conventional social rules, this position is obviously the position of the inferior.
"Things made by Italians are just unreliable," Richie Akiva laughed, picked up a bottle of Moët P3, poured a glass of champagne for Ari Emanuel, and then handed the bottle to a scantily clad blonde, signaling her to pour the wine for Fang Yu.
"Tell me, what's the matter?" Fang Yu leaned on the sofa and said casually.
Ari Emanuel frowned. Doesn’t this Fangis know who he is?
Ari Emanuel can truly be considered a big shot in Hollywood.
At least much higher than Weinstein's status.
Since acquiring IMG a few years ago, Endeavor has become a giant agency spanning many industries including entertainers, music, artists, sports, etc. Last year, it acquired the Miss Universe Organization from Chuan Bao.
A few days ago, Endeavor reached an acquisition agreement with Zuffa. After the agreement officially takes effect, Endeavor will become an industry giant that controls UFC!
Endeavor has evolved into a typical capital group and is rushing towards becoming a monopoly capital conglomerate.
"The agency rights of Tears of the Moon Goddess are in your hands? Let's cooperate." Seeing Fang Yu's behavior, Ariemmanuel didn't intend to beat around the bush and went straight to the point.
Fang Yu remained calm: "Oh? How can we cooperate?"
Ari Emanuel snapped his fingers. "Two options. First, Endeavor will invest 1.5 billion Malaysian dollars to acquire 60% of Lorraine Novowin's shares, and both parties will share management rights. Second, Endeavor or another third-party company will buy out your annual quota of Tears of the Luna and become your exclusive second-tier distributor, shipping upon receipt of payment."
Fang Yu chuckled: "I just thought it was a joke, Mr. Emmanuel. There are women waiting for me downstairs. I don't have time to listen to you talking in your sleep."
"Sorry, you don't have any other choice." Ari Emmanuel smiled confidently.
Seeing Fang Yu's nonchalant expression, Ari Emanuel spread his hands and said, "You know, our influence isn't limited to Mai Country. In fact, if we wanted to, we could easily get that supplier from Da Zhou to kick you out."
"I don't care how lucky you were to get the agency rights to the Tears of the Moon Goddess, but this thing is not something that an ABC like you can touch."
This thing is not something I can touch?
Why does this sound so awkward?
"It's you?" Fang Yu's eyes narrowed. "Is it the people you hired who are doing this little trick in the Great Zhou?"
Emmanuel smiled. "Don't be so harsh, young man. You're well-informed. Has that supplier from the Great Zhou contacted you? It seems your relationship is closer than I imagined."
"In fact, the other party did reject our offer, otherwise I would not give you this opportunity."
"But this is your only chance, young man."
"If you don't know what's good for you, it doesn't matter. At most we'll have to pay a little more price. Really, just a little price." As he spoke, Emmanuel made a "small" gesture with his index finger and thumb.
"It's just a small price to pay, and we can still get what we want."
"It's just that we Jude people don't like to make things too ugly when doing business, do you understand?"
Fang Yu sneered, but there was a hint of panic in his eyes. "Mai Country is a free country, and more importantly, a country ruled by law, Mr. Emanuel."
"Do you think I'm afraid of this kind of threat? Nvidia's Huang, Yahoo's Yang, and Fumao's Chen are all Chinese, and the companies they founded haven't been taken away by anyone."
Emmanuel laughed heartily. "Sure enough, it's just as we found out. You're so naive. Are all the people of Da Zhou really nerds?"
"All I can tell you is that this is different. Okay, here are the conditions. Yes or no?"
Fang Yu was silent for a moment, then smiled slightly. "Mr. Emmanuel, why is it different? Why do you want the Tears of the Moon Goddess? Although this thing has a high profit margin, it's nothing to Endeavor, right?"
"Besides, I thought it would be Estee Lauder or Beiersdorf who would be determined to acquire the Tears of the Moon Goddess. It seems that Endeavor doesn't need to do so, right?"
"Why? If you tell me the truth, maybe I'll agree."
Fang Yu's fingers moved slightly, and his tone was full of temptation.
Ari Emanuel was stunned for a moment, feeling that Fang Yu's words were incredibly believable. Without even thinking, he spoke, "It's simple. The industries you just mentioned are all competitive industries. Nvidia is a special case. It wasn't until the last one or two years that Nvidia began to gain a strategic position."
"Whether it's Yahoo or Foremost, they're just ordinary companies. They don't have any real strategic value."
"In other words, even if Nvidia fails, we in Jude can still replace it by abandoning it and supporting a new chip company."
"But Tears of the Moon Goddess is different. This almost magical product is irreplaceable, and its limited production is bound to be in short supply."
"The true significance of this product lies in the fact that whoever masters it will master the foundation of fashion and entertainment—beauty—and have the potential to revolutionize the entertainment and media industries."
"If you want to enter the entertainment and media industry, you can give your artists the Tears of the Moon Goddess. This will enhance their competitiveness, while your competitors will gradually lose their competitiveness if they don't have them. Artists may even switch to you."
"This is just a crude metaphor. In fact, in the entertainment and communication industry, we can create many more things around this product."
"Once we obtain the Tears of the Moon Goddess, our monopoly advantage in this industry will be greatly strengthened."
"We will never allow a non-Jude company to challenge our monopoly in the entertainment and media industry. Do you understand?"
Richie Akiva was stunned.
Boss, are you crazy? How can you say such a thing directly?
After hearing Ari Emanuel's frank words, Fang Yu grinned and said, "Now I understand. Mr. Emanuel, I need to go to the bathroom. I need to discuss this with my partners."
The two bodyguards were about to stop him, but when Emmanuel saw Fang Yu walking directly towards the bathroom in the suite, he waved his hand and signaled them not to bother.
It was a full twenty minutes before Fang Yu came out of the bathroom.
"What do you think?" Emmanuel raised his head. Both he and his brother were very good at negotiating and gaining an advantage with an aggressive attitude. This kind of situation was just a common occurrence.
"What are you thinking about?" Fang Yu wiped his hands with a tissue, glanced at Ari Emanuel with disdain, and sat back on the sofa. "Are you fucking mentally ill? Or did you inhale poison gas in the womb?"
