Chapter 157 Determining the Target

Santa Monica, the newly replaced safe house.

The door was knocked rhythmically, Edward went to open the door, and Campos, who had put on makeup, stepped in.

He looked at Hawke, who was wearing a wig and beard, and said: "Boss."

Hoke pointed to the opposite side: "Sit down." He asked: "How is the business lately? ”

Campos sat down and said: "We have taken on several private detective jobs, all of which are tracking and secretly photographing cheaters. In addition, there are more and more Mexicans in Los Angeles, and we have developed a lot of spies, many of whom work in hotels and restaurants. and people working on the set. "

Hawk had another purpose in looking for him this time: "If I encounter a Mexican policeman like you again, after confirming the relevant situation, I can properly recruit him into the company and handle the legal procedures. You have the identity channel, if it is valuable If it needs to be handled, the company can pay for it, but it must pay attention to the processing pace.”

Campos understands: “I have regarded legal status as one of the company’s highest rewards.”

He asked again: "Is there any important work to be done?"

"Cultivate a group of capable people who are good at shooting." Hawke's version of Twitter has not yet been officially launched, but preparations need to be done ahead: "There will be big news to shoot later."

Campos also knows what the current main business of the company is, so he has been directly following the people who train people in the candid photography business.

The meeting between the two lasted only ten minutes, and they soon left.

Changing back into his own clothes and Mercedes-Benz, Hawke asked Edward to drive to Brian's law office.

He signed an agency agreement with Brian on behalf of the newly established Twitter company.

After finishing all this, Brian specially called Hawke into the office and said: "The struggle above is getting fierce, and it may be implicated below. You must be careful recently."

Hawke is mentally prepared for this. Whatever he does in the end, he will bear the consequences: "Are you going to humanely destroy us?"

"No, if both sides really want to use guns, the incident will be completely out of control." Ryan is still confident about this: "There are family members on both sides, who dares to launch the first physical attack easily."

Having said that, Hawke is still quite Pay attention and remind: "Don't overestimate their moral standards. In the eyes of big shots, we are just pawns."

Brian smiled: "Don't worry too much, it will definitely be against me first, and then It's your turn."

Hoke patted him on the shoulder: "Your shield should be stronger to withstand most damage."

He repeated his old words: "Be careful, they will send a beautiful woman with AIDS over to launch a biological attack on you."

When Brian heard the word AIDS, his whole body felt bad and he was so angry that he was on the spot. Blessing: "Next time you will encounter a gun battle involving hundreds of people!"

The two hurt each other, and Hawke specifically reminded: "Did you only test for AIDS last time? It’s not quite right. Look at the many red spots on your neck, and your hands are also red. You can’t be infected with syphilis, right?”

It doesn’t matter if you don’t say it, so Brian discovered. His neck and the back of his hands were indeed a little red, but he thought about it and said, "I got it from the sun!"

Hoke was kind-hearted: "I strongly recommend that you get tested again."

Brian's eyes were blank: "Do you still want me to find a beautiful woman?"

"Of course not during special times." After going around in a circle, Hawke's words returned to Brian's starting point: "You But the shield cannot fall in front of beauty."

He stood up to leave, and before leaving, he said specifically: "You take your bodyguard with you every day, don't go out and fool around, don't let me. Go help you clean up the mess you made!"

Brian spread his hands: "Listen to what you said, it sounds like I am unreliable."

Hoke knows very well, Bu. If Ryan can hold on, he will be less troubled. He encouraged him: "Do you remember? Our goal is the Oval Office!"

Brian nodded seriously: "We have just started, of course we cannot fall down."

Hoke left the office and got into the Mercedes-Benz.

Edward put down the newspaper in his hand and asked: "Boss?"

"Go to the company." Hawke wanted to come and read the newspaper.

This is Monday's issue of "Entertainment Weekly", which contains the latest list of Oscar nominations, as well as various comments on the nomination list.

The headline on the second page was a criticism of this year's Oscar nominations.

Hollywood blacks, led by Will Smith and Spike Lee, angrily criticized the lack of black elements in the best film, best director and best actors and actresses at this year's Oscars.

Even if you count Best Supporting Actor and Actor, only Queen Latifah was nominated.

It seems that they have all forgotten that last year’s best actors and actresses were all black.

Spike Lee didn’t know how many times he swore at Oscar.

Will Smith also said the Oscars lacked respect for black people.

No special treatment, of course there is a lack of respect.

Hoke finished flipping through "Entertainment Weekly", threw it aside, and picked up the "Los Angeles Times" below.

The news on the front page attracted Hawke's attention.

The Zipperton couple came to Los Angeles to promote Zipperton's spin and attended a lavish party hosted by Sean Combs. Also attending the party were Leonardo DiCaprio, Williams Smith, Jennifer Lopez and many other celebrities.

Accompanying the news is a very clear large group photo, which is clearly provided by the organizer to the Los Angeles Times.

In the group photo, the Zippertons occupy the C position, surrounded by many celebrities.

There are many people who have worked with Hawke.

Hook saw the sage Steve Nutt right next to Sean Combs.

Selfiegate stars Josh Hartnett and Alison Firth were also spotted in the back row. Hawke made a wild guess that Zipperton came to Los Angeles not only to promote his autobiography and attend parties, but also to help the beleaguered Blue Party.

Arrived at Ocean Park Avenue, the Mercedes-Benz parked in front of the Twitter office building.

On top of the company, workers are under construction, and Twitter’s little blue bird logo has been erected.

Hoke came to the company and went to the technical department first. The trial version has been launched. It is still a web version for the time being, and the installation version will be launched later.

The top two news positions on the web version happened to be the news that Hawke had just watched. The Zipperton couple attended a party, and the black crowd headed by Will Smith and Spike Lee criticized this year's event. Oscar.

Hawke came to the office, and Caroline was busy making phone calls, contacting advertisements, forum promotions, attracting celebrity clients, etc.

In the name of Hawke, she attracted Dwayne Johnson, Steve Nutter, Josh Hartnett, Alison Firth and Sarah Parker to register .

Hoke was not idle either. He called Eric Eason and Catherine and asked them to help promote it.

Then I remembered that Brian was very familiar with Tom Cruise, and the latter was even trying to please him, so I called Brian again and asked him to help recommend Tom Cruise.

Hoke called Susie again and suggested that the LAPD open an official Twitter to release news in a timely manner.

Even Frank, that bastard, Hawke didn't let go.

Frank only made one request: "You promised me, let me be a consultant for your new company."

Hoke looked outside the window, opposite the company is Venice Beach Parking lot, said: "Tomorrow I Go help you move."

He asked: "Can you handle it in Venice Beach? Don't get beaten out by the local gang."

Frank said confidently: "I'll make a call. That’s it.”

Hawk hung up the phone.

"Boss." Caroline came over to report at this time: "After the new version of the website was launched, 455 registered users have been added so far."

Hoke nodded: "Don't worry, everything will be fine. It’s hard at the beginning.”
Caroline handed over a fax: "This is the fax sent by someone from Mary Ferguson."

"I know." Hawke read it carefully. The call went to Mary Ferguson.

Mary said directly: "The website is online, what are your next plans? You promised me that there will be more than 200,000 active users by May."

She slowed down: "You have to prove that Twitter Only with the potential and value can I get more resources for you on the board of directors."

Hoke responded: "The plan will be implemented soon."

"I'll wait and see. "Mary quickly hung up the phone.

Hoke knows very well that the biggest problem now is how to attract users to the website Twitter.

The plan he formulated was to attract users with breaking news.

For the general public, the appeal of shocking gossip far exceeds that of social and political news.

Unless the latter can achieve the level of 911.

When Hawke was making plans, he prepared two candidates. After meeting Gretchen and Will Smith at the Fox Tower that day, the number of candidates increased to three.

The first two are from sports stars, one is Tiger Woods, a superstar in the golf industry.

The other is the super inspirational cycling star Lance Armstrong, who has won four consecutive Tour de France championships.

The former is a famous sex addict.

The latter is a typical American sports star and doping master.

Hoke also collected some preliminary information through the Internet, and first gave up on Tiger Woods. This sex-addicted tiger currently only has a girlfriend and is not married yet. The impact of gossip scandals is not big enough.

Lance Armstrong, a sports star suffering from testicular cancer, is a good candidate.

Hawke vaguely remembers the key to his doping case.

But these two people are far less influential than Will Smith.

Currently in 2003, Shi Huang is close to the peak of his career.

In the entire Hollywood, there are only a few stars who are truly on the same level as Emperor Shi.

Hoke suddenly remembered the "Los Angeles Times" he had read, the Zippertons and Sean Combs, nicknamed Diddy.

The parties these guys throw are definitely out of the ordinary.

But Hawke knows very well that he should not take the initiative to provoke them at this stage.

Strength is the foundation.

In comparison, Will Smith alone is much safer as an entertainment star.

Hoke made a decision, with Will Smith as his first choice and Lance Armstrong as his backup.

He called Caroline and asked her to do some preliminary data collection work.
