Chapter 714: Seeking Skin from a Tiger
This charity auction was still very successful. Although there were many twists and turns in the middle, it ended smoothly.
After the charity auction, there will be a thank you dinner to thank the guests who came to support the event.
It was at the appreciation dinner that Larry Fink and Little Gilbert took the opportunity to chat.
"Mr. Fink, if I guess correctly, you are here to be a lobbyist." Little Gilbert said bluntly.
Larry Fink admitted directly: "I am indeed here to be a lobbyist, but to be honest, I don't really want to convince you."
"Oh? That's surprising."
Larry Fink said: "I know a secret of yours, a big secret."
Big secret? I am still very powerful! Little Gilbert groaned inwardly.
"What secret? Do you know that I was reborn?"
Larry Fink was rendered speechless by Little Gilbert's celestial blow, so he could only sneer and say: "You're kidding me."
What I'm talking about is that your fruit fund has been mobilizing funds frequently recently. ”
"Really?" Little Gilbert raised his eyebrows: "I'm not sure, I don't care about the specific business."
"But I think you should smell something." Larry Fink decided not to play charades with Little Gilbert: "To put it simply, I know what you need.
We can work together and make a killing. ”
"???"
Three question marks popped up on little Gilbert's head: "What does Mr. Fink mean? Why can't I understand?"
"Hahaha, don't pretend to be confused with me." Larry Fink took out a business card with contact information on it.
"If you think about it, you can call me on this phone."
With that, Larry Fink took his leave.
After he left, Ivanka came over and said: "I have already got the bronze."
"Well done," Little Gilbert turned to Ivanka and said, "Larry Fink discovered our plan."
Ivanka was shocked: "What do you mean? Is he here to threaten you?"
"No," little Gilbert shook his head and said, "He came to us for cooperation."
"Cooperation? Cooperation for what?"
"That's the thing, he came to us for cooperation."
Ivanka was curious: "Isn't this Larry Fink from their side? Why did he suddenly want to cooperate with us?"
"Two possibilities."
Little Gilbert analyzed: "The first one is that he is here to defraud us. But if he wants to set a trap for me, there is no need to remind me."
"That's another possibility."
Ivanka took over and said: "He really wants to cooperate, but why?"
Little Gilbert shook his head: "I don't know, maybe I've had enough of white gloves and want to become the master.
In short, please pay more attention to this matter and don't let down your vigilance. ”
Ivanka nodded slightly: "I know, I will find someone to investigate. If he really wants to cooperate with us, that is also a good thing."
"I hope so!"
Little Gilbert suddenly remembered a rumor in his previous life. It was said that Black Rock Company was the main sponsoring company of DEI.
In the previous life, DEI spread from movie series to the game industry. Even though they knew that works containing such elements would be a loss, major companies still enjoyed it.
This is related to Black Rock’s subsidy policy. The producer can receive DEI subsidies from Black Rock and may also receive returns from the stock price. So even though the code is criticized, movie companies and game companies still never come back. They no longer care about what the audience and game players want.
The original plan was good, but later DEI became rampant in Hollywood, the movies were bad, and not many good works were produced. But in the gaming field, a variable has emerged.
Yes, it was the ground-breaking "Black Myth: Wukong" that gave DEI a heavy blow.
If you want to say why Black Rock Company cares for a few vulnerable groups, that is pure fart. If that were the case, they should be concerned about the few remaining Indians.
After all, Indians don’t have many scalps, so they are the real minority group.
These capitalists talk about doctrines but think about business.
If you want to ask what kind of business DEI has, it’s a lot to talk about. From ideology to dividing the bottom of society, and finally to long-term hormone use and surgery, there are too many profitable areas.
Not sure what Larry Fink is thinking now, or whether it is a trick played by the old capitalists.
In short, working with Larry Fink was full of crises, and little Gilbert had to be cautious.
Back at the Melon Manor, little Gilbert still smiled bitterly.

How could he, a film director, be involved in so many things? It made him feel so tired that he wanted to die.
This matter was put on hold for the time being, and the money raised from the charity auction was quickly passed through the Fruit Foundation, becoming the largest donation from Western society.
Various reports in the official media over there praised the merits, and little Gilbert's name was mentioned again.
Now, even those Chinese who don’t usually watch movies or have any contact with entertainment, all know that there is a little Gilbert in the West who is a good friend of the Chinese people.
After knowing little Gilbert's name, some people are naturally curious about little Gilbert's experience, and then they will look it up.
You don’t know this by looking at it, and you’re shocked when you see it.
This foreigner whose name sounds strange and homophonic is actually a genius. He directed his first film at the age of 21 and won the Best Director Oscar twice.
The total box office of the movie exceeded 15 billion US dollars, the first person in history.
He is also an investment genius. The banana and watermelon companies that have entered the Chinese market in the past two years are all his companies.
What's even more amazing is that little Gilbert can also speak Chinese and is a China expert. In addition, he also serves as the artistic consultant for this year's Olympic Games.
Coupled with this donation, the Chinese people's favorability towards little Gilbert has greatly increased.
It is said, it is said that someone in the disaster area has already set up an immortal tablet for little Gilbert.
Little Gilbert has now received an invitation letter inviting him to attend the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games. The Olympic Games are currently undergoing intense preparations, and the preparatory team has consulted Gilbert Jr. on many issues.
Little Gilbert also put forward his own pertinent opinions for the preparatory team's reference.
The time has come to May 22, the fourth weekend of the release of "The Dark Knight". On this day, "Raiders of the Lost Ark: The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" directed by Spielberg was released.
It has been 19 years since the last "Raiders of the Lost Ark", and the audience has almost forgotten about this series.
However, when Spielberg made his move, it was the family-friendly adventure film that he was good at, and there were also fans who had watched the series of films.
The film received a lot of attention before it was released, and it detonated the market in the first week of its release. It took in a box office of US$13.71 million in its first week, successfully becoming the North American box office champion for that week.
This film seems to prove that Spielberg can still adapt to the changing market, that he is still young and can continue to fight on the front line of film production.
George Lucas, who served as the film's producer, admitted that this was his last time as a producer on the series.
George Lucas has decided to retire, and fans are concerned about what will happen to the "Star Wars" series after George Lucas retires.
In this regard, George Lucas made it clear in a recent interview: "I have convinced Gilbert Jr. to take over this series, and I believe he will bring surprises."
As a result, the public turned their attention to Gilbert Jr., a director who was in full swing.
