The Goddess Shines on America

Chapter 331: The Eve Before Departure

"Today is a day to celebrate~"

In the back garden of Sissy's huge mansion, Alice trotted out of the house holding a bottle of orange Fanta soda: "Let's use soda instead of wine to celebrate the great reunion of the SOS regiment." !"

"Oh~ celebrate! I want to kill our Maiya!" Ashley was catering, but unfortunately she was the only one who responded. The other two ignored Alice at all and were helping The parents prepare the food.

As for Ashley, this tall, blond girl has stood firmly on the threshold of sixteen years old, and she is taller than the average girl of the same age, with a pair of long legs that are more slender, blond hair and a lovely oval face. Bursting with astonishing charm. How could the beauty's response not make Alice smile, and when she got a full portion of Fanta in the paper cup, she handed it to her.

"Ah~ come on, comrades-in-arms, let's toast to a better tomorrow!"

Ashley bluffed and held up the paper cup: "Oh ~ for the Messiah, for Troy, and for the gods of the sky, cheers!"

The two girls who regularly had convulsions were making strange noises. They were together in the garden. Sissy and Maiya listened to their voices and looked at each other and smiled.

Today is just the beginning of mid-January, and both Eton College in the UK and West Point Military Academy in the US are finally ushering in the winter vacation. The shaping of people in the military school is obvious, but it's just that they haven't seen it for a semester, but when everyone saw Maiya again, no one was surprised by the obvious changes in her body.

"The skin has really turned black," Sissy said while carefully placing the coals in the charcoal stove, "Standing in a military posture under the sun, I really can't imagine..."

"You've lost a lot of weight too. It's impossible for you not to lose weight." Maiya took another charcoal stove from her father and put it on the shelf: "Sissy, I see that you seem to have accumulated a lot of skin. Fatty, do you want to go to West Point as a guest? I promise you..."

"When did you learn to make such jokes..." Sissy felt ashamed at first, thinking that Ashley's influence is really not easy, but immediately felt something wrong: "Wait, I'm fat? Maiya, Am I really fat!?"

"It's a little bit, girls are too thin and don't look good." A kind and beautiful woman, with a typical and delicate Japanese face, Maiya's mother Kaori just walked in front of them: "Come on, Maiya Mi, put this plate of meat on skewers, and I will leave this work to you."

Maiya immediately took it over: "Good mom."

Sissy looked at the slices of meat cut by Maiya's mother. They were regular hexagons with uniform thickness and almost the same area. She exclaimed, "It's amazing, I'm not good at this shape."

Kaori seldom appears in front of the girls. After all, Maiya’s house is far away from Wenton Street, and she lives at home like a traditional Japanese woman, so every time she shows up, it will make everyone feel fresh.

"It's very simple, as long as you practice hard." At this time, she said with a smile: "By the way, Sissy sauce, you are also a big girl who is going to high school now, is there anyone you like? Cooking skills are very important to girls."

Sissy's expression immediately became weird. Naturally, a little blush appeared on her fair face, but it was not to the point of shyness. She quickly increased the speed of adding charcoal, and at the same time changed the subject vaguely: "Ahem, it's too early to think about the person you like. That...Alice? Hey, Alice! What the hell is going on? went!?"

"Oh, call me, call me?" Alice was still "fighting" Fanta with Ashley, and when she ran over, Sissy suddenly noticed that the big bottle of drink was already half full.

"You are in charge of adding charcoal to the stove. I'm going to help my dad there, Sayao Nala!"

Pushing the coal fork out, Sissy left lightly, leaving only someone standing there quietly, still a little unrecovered.

The sun is sunny today, the clouds are light and the wind is light today, today is sunny and cloudy, today is cloudy with light rain, anyway, no matter what the day looks like, it is already midnight, and the BBQ where four families gather together is very lively, as long as this time Goodness is enough.

"When we arrive in Hong Kong, uh..." With the sound of crackling charcoal fire, Alice took big bites of the beef, gobbling it, and said to Maiya: "We can find a hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui. There It’s the commercial center of Hong Kong, that’s right, Central is the business CBD, let’s go to play first, of course we have to stay in the commercial center. Well, it’s delicious…”

"I don't know much about Hong Kong." Maiya was not in a hurry to eat meat, but was picking up a bunch of vegetables and biting it full, and was chewing a piece of potato at the moment: "But compared to mainland China, it has at least one The stock exchange, after 'Oscar \u0026amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;Hannah' develops to a certain scale, you can choose to list directly on the Hong Kong stock market, what is your plan?"

"What a mess." Unexpectedly, Alice gave her a blank look: "Is my company registered in the United States listed in Hong Kong?"

Maiya's follow-up question was also simple: "Then what is your plan?"

"It doesn't matter if it's not on the market." Alice took another bite and said, "It's just designing clothes, producing clothes, and then selling clothes. Why do you think I set up such a company? It's just because of it. The cash flow, the last gross market."

That's what I said, and that's how the original plan was started, but Maiya bit off a piece of green pepper noncommittally, and said calmly: "Then why didn't you transfer much money from there during the arbitrage of the stock market crash? Like you said, although it hasn't been listed yet, the cash reserves of 'Oscar \u0026amp; Hannah' should be tens of millions, right?"

"One hundred million is more than enough..." Alice gulped down a mouthful of meat, "But the key is... Mamma Mia, I didn't expect the Chinese market to be so big that chain stores can be opened everywhere..."

"All right……"

A "Okay" was of the same nature as the famous "hehe". Maiya was about to stop the topic, so Alice shut up in an instant, and just continued to eat meat. For a while, there was almost no sound in this corner of the garden, only the sound of the two girls chewing could be vaguely heard.

Regarding the specific details of the company, Maiya's knowledge is indeed limited, because her energy is mainly concentrated on Blackwater International. When she visited North Carolina with Alice, she really trained with those soldiers for a week. This is the girl's world. As for the clothing company Shenma, that's what Ashley likes.

Speaking of Ashley, it's a pity that this girl is not yet of drinking age, so she can only pretend to be an adult with Fanta. Right now, it's just pestering the parents who seldom gather in Los Angeles, sitting with Sophie and drinking it non-stop.

"Actually, such things as brand grades are really difficult for laymen to understand." Elena held a wine glass elegantly, which contained real champagne, but her daughter was seduced for a while: "I can only Let’s say, with two years of hard work in our research institute, it can barely take a third-rate position in the European market.”

The topic of clothing is not what James is interested in. He is chatting with Roger Lawrence about making Hollywood blockbusters from a distance. Only Sophie can sit here with great interest and listen to the unique business experience of the fashion designer: "Oh ...It’s only third-rate, but we’ve only been established for a short time, so that’s pretty good.”

"Yes." Elena is very satisfied with finding a bosom friend among the four members of her family, and she will not stop talking: "It takes time to establish a brand image, unless it is done by a famous master. Create it yourself, otherwise it will definitely take a long time to develop. Three years is really too short, even Giorgio Armani has worked hard for 14 years to let his brand develop to the present level..."

Even listening to a few words floating in the field of clothing from a distance is enough to make the two men outside the industry feel uncomfortable, so James and Roger Lawrence walked to a place far away with their respective dark beers. position to continue the topic.

"Recently, the number of great movies on the market has been running low." Lawrence said: ""First Blood" will make a third film, which seems very exciting, but in fact it only proves that the film studios are starting to make cold rice again. .Even Elm Street is followed by sequels, can you imagine? Although the income can be guaranteed, the high similarity of the film is not a good phenomenon."

"Action movies, thrillers, these are the easiest to produce sequels." James agreed: "So it is indeed the easiest to homogenize, and you are right. Therefore, if DreamWorks wants to break the deadlock in this industry, it must rely on New genres of movies come to the fore...hey Alice!"

When the father called the daughter over, the latter had a skewer of meat in his left hand and a glass of Fanta in his right, and he ran without spilling the soda, so he was quite capable: "What's wrong, what's wrong?"

This is a young genius, and Lawrence paid her dividend-level share of the script. As soon as he saw someone coming, he immediately said, "Alice, is there any movie that can sell well, recommend one to uncle?"

This is so true that someone couldn't help but roll their eyes: "Big sale? It's very simple, isn't the copyright of "Alien" bought by us? Wouldn't it be good to just make seven or eight sequels? "

James laughed immediately: "That's a great answer! I heard there is no sequel to Roger and Alien, let's find someone to make seven or eight of his films, hahaha~"

What can Lawrence say? He could only smile wryly, "Alice, I'm serious."

Alice took a bite of meat in her left hand, a glass of Fanta in her right hand, took a sip, and said, "No problem, but we are going to Hong Kong tomorrow, if you really want to wait for my new script, either wait for us to come back, or Come with me to Hong Kong, choose one of the two. Um... ah, um, um..."

Three times, five divisions and two to get another piece of meat, she finally said: "It's good to meet the colleagues over there, but if you make a decision at this time, you may not be able to buy a ticket."

After speaking, how did she come here, and how did she run back to the place where the girls gathered.

The two adults stayed where they were, and James looked at Lawrence: "My daughter's suggestion is here, what do you think?"

Holding his wine glass, Lawrence frowned, as if it was a difficult question to choose: "Yes, the flight tomorrow morning, is there still a ticket for the plane?"

It is not a rare thing to recommend a unique Bianbaiwen, a historical hegemony-style "Mingfeng Tianxia" for everyone!
