Chapter 165 Headhunting
Fountain Street, East Hollywood.
The copper sign of the West Coast Media Studio was taken off by Hawke himself and handed to Frank next to him: "Take it from the RV."
Edward came out of the door holding the box, and Frank placed it on it.
Hawke entered the studio and had to do some relocation work himself, such as the firearms hidden in various rooms.
Frank grabbed a box and followed.
Before the first floor was finished, the old man couldn't move the box.
He looked down and saw that there were pistols, spray guns, ARs, MP5s, sabers, etc. piled in the box.
Every gun has at least one spare magazine.
Frank couldn't help it and asked: "How many guns did you buy?"
Hawke then said: "Not many, there are only about twenty guns here."
Apart from anything else, as long as he is in this house, he can take out a gun anytime and anywhere.
The guns were put away and packed, and the two went upstairs to find the remaining guns.
The one-year lease on the Fountain Street house is up, and Hawke has not renewed it. The West Coast studio will also move to Ocean Park Avenue and add a sign on Twitter.
Edward's office serves as a West Coast studio.
Firearms, office supplies and photography equipment were all packed and loaded into a van.
The modified safe must also be taken away.
Hawke told the agency manager that because he had made some improvements to the house, he did not hesitate to pay the small amount of compensation, and everything was done quickly.
Edward got in his car and drove straight to Santa Monica.
Hawke rented a new, modest single-family house on 20th Street in Santa Monica.
This side is closer to Ocean Park Boulevard.
The house has a total of two floors, with a red roof and yellow walls, a brick-concrete structure, a small courtyard and a garage, and is surrounded by a three-meter-high wall.
The neighborhood is full of two-story houses, and there are no taller buildings.
Another point is that there are no tall trees or street light poles around the house.
As soon as Frank entered the door, he discovered the key: "The privacy is very good, you bastard is too careful."
"I can't help it, there are too many bad things happening." Hawke said directly: "This way we can sleep more peacefully."
Frank put his hands behind his back and forced the king to go online instantly: "It is really difficult for young people today to start a business. If you want to make quick money, you always have to take some risks."
Edward came in from the outside carrying a box: "A few days ago, a company wanted to buy 30% of Twitter's shares for 25 million US dollars. Now Twitter's valuation is nearly 100 million. When you were at your most glorious, than Can you fuck my boss? "
He taunted: "Don't forget, you are a loser now."
Frank was dismissive: "Even if I fail, my ancestors will reward your ancestors with whips."
Edward was killed.
Frank continued to attack: "You used to be a pauper, hooking up with divorced women with children. Now it's different. You are also a rich man. From now on, they will stare at your wallet and squeeze you dry!"
Edward said: "I'm not as stupid as you to marry them!"
"Do you need to get married?" Frank tolerated him for a long time and finally found a chance to fight back: "Think about all the bad things you have done. As long as a woman finds a reason to frame you, you will face a lot of trouble and need to spend money. Huge amount of time, energy and money to deal with until it is drained out!”
Edward followed Hawke throughout the whole process, met Sarah Parker and Jada Smith, and was speechless for a moment.
Frank counterattacked crazily: "Want to know the name of my ex-wife? I can tell you for free. They hurt me like this. With your little net worth, haha..."
Edward lowered his head and went out to move the boxes. At this time, he didn't want to know the name of Frank's ex-wife.
Hawke came in carrying two large gun bags and urged Frank: "Stop talking nonsense and work quickly."
"You are a slave master of the new era!" Frank raised his middle finger and quickly followed Edward's footsteps.
Hawke didn't have many personal belongings and quickly moved into the villa.
The move alerted the next door neighbor. A short man with blond hair came out of the door and looked at Hawke curiously.
When he saw Hawke and others looking this way, he quickly came to the truck and shook hands with Hawke: "Hello, new neighbor, I am Jett Brown."
This man was only as tall as Hawke's shoulders, and Hawke shook hands with him: "Hello, I am Hawke Osmond."
Jet Brown greeted Edward and Frank again and said politely: "Just moved here? Do you need help?"
"Thank you." Hawke smiled: "We'll be done soon."
Edward and Frank each picked up two gun bags from the trunk.
Hawke went over and took the last gun bag.
Jet Brown could tell at a glance that there were long guns inside, or multiple guns, and his expression changed slightly.
Hawke said: "I am a gun collector, and these are my collections."
This kind of collection is very common in North America, Jet Brown said: "Actually, I also like guns very much."
Hawke said politely: "We have the opportunity to exchange experiences."
Jet Brown nodded and asked, "What do you do?"
"Online media." Hawke took out his business card and handed it to him.
Jett Brown took the answer and saw the CEO of Twitter. A bright smile suddenly broke out on his face: "Are you the CEO of Twitter?" Without waiting for Hawke to answer, he took out his business card and handed it to Hawke. K: "I am Korn Ferry's senior talent consultant in Los Angeles. If you have talent needs, you can contact me."
Hawke understood: "You are a headhunter."
Jet came over to shake hands: "I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate."
Hawke gestured to the gun bag he was holding in his left hand, nodded with a smile, and followed Edward and Frank into the courtyard gate.
Jett walked back and stood in front of his house, looking at the truck and then at the business card in his hand, thoughtfully.
The door behind him was opened, and a blond woman who was half a head taller than him came out and asked, "Has someone moved next door?"
This is Jeter's girlfriend, Diana Lund, a model.
Jet showed her his business card: "The CEO of Twitter, which is super popular recently."
Diana glanced at the business card and looked over there: "Everyone in the circle is talking about Twitter. It is said that they have some explosive information about Will Smith."
She was a little moved: "My agency, CAA, has quite a problem with him."
Jet is a headhunter, and he has a good eye for people. He reminded: "Don't provoke him, he is a cruel person."
Diana listened: "I'm just an insignificant little model, and I won't get involved in the fights between big shots."
The two men soon returned home.
On the other side, Hawke asked Edward to temporarily move the useless things to the utility room, while he placed the firearms one by one in the places chosen in advance.
Even on the rooftop of the second floor, he placed ARs and trolls.
Frank convinced him: "Aren't you tired of living like this?"
"Life goes on, and things keep happening!" Hawke was not tired, but in high spirits: "You overlooked one thing. These things not only bring fun, but also make me a lot of money."
He told facts and reasoned: "How did I get my tens of millions of net worth? Isn't it just from getting into trouble?"
Frank thought about it and realized that Hawke was telling the truth.
Hawke had just packed up his gun when he got a call.
Jacqueline, who had not had much contact with him since the actor training class ended, called him.
The last time the two met, Jacqueline borrowed a sum of money from him to help her friend Renee's daughter.
Hawke asked Edward to get in the car, first took Frank back to Venice Beach, then went to the company to change a car and headed to Hebei Mountain Park.
Arriving at the old place in the park, Hawke met Jacqueline.
Jacqueline said hello: "Long time no see."
Edward looked her up and down and said, "I feel like you have changed a lot."
Jacqueline smiled and asked: "Are you more like an actor?"
"Have you received any roles recently?" Hawke asked.
The smile disappeared from Jacqueline's face: "I worked on two production crews and received roles that were purely background roles without even any lines. Those bastards from the casting team slept with me and did not fulfill their promises at all."
< br>
She had a real experience: "You are right, you cannot become a star by sleeping alone. Even if I take the initiative to go to the production team, they will still not give me a role after sleeping with me."
There was Waglen's underage incident before, and Will Smith and CAA later. The path Hawke took was destined to be on the opposite side of Hollywood stars.
He thought Jacqueline wanted to find a role, so he said directly: "Except for Eric Eason, I don't know any other directors, so I can't help you find a role."
"No, I'm not asking you for help with the character." Jacqueline opened her handbag, took out a photo, and handed it to Hawke: "This is Kristen Johnson. We work together on two crews. She and I have the same dream of becoming a star. We often stay together and basically eat together on the set.”
Hawk looked at the photo. It was a beautiful blonde girl.
Just looking at the appearance in the photo, she is still above Jacqueline.
Jacqueline continued: "Five days ago, she suddenly disappeared. I called her again and again, but could not get through. I also went to where she lived to look for her. Her clothes and luggage were still there, but she disappeared."
Hawke asked: "How old is she?"
Jacqueline said: "Eighteen years old at most, maybe less than seventeen years old."
She talked about what she knew about the situation: "Christine and I both slept with people from the production team. I don't know what happened. It was like she disappeared from the world."
Edward interjected: "No one called the police?"
Jacqueline said: "Her mother called the police. The last time I saw Christine, she said she had called her family and reconciled with her mother. Her mother couldn't get through to her after that, so she came to Los Angeles and then called the police. Call the police.”
She looked around and saw that there was no one else around, and said, "Could Kristine be like Jessica..."
Hawk remembers the name: "That Jessica you met at Superstar Acting School?"
Jacqueline reminded: "Jessica is missing, I told you."
Hawke asked: "I asked you not to care about this matter anymore, but you didn't touch it, right?"
"No, I always listened to you and pretended it had never happened." Jacqueline had worked with Hawke several times and knew that his style of doing things was quite radical and even Hawke was wary of it, so of course she wouldn't touch him.
Hawke remembered something: "Who invested in the crew you went to?"
Jacqueline said: "Many companies and foundations jointly produce. It seems that the main producers are Sony Columbia and Ackerman Pictures."
Hawke heard the name again, immediately put away Christine's photo, and said to Jacqueline: "Write me her details, but don't worry about it anymore."
Jacqueline responded.
