There is nothing to do on the plane.

period.

Suri read a popular novel called "Vivian's Trouble" that she got for free from Random House.

You won’t know if you don’t look at it, but you will be shocked when you look at it.

The plot in this book is a bit heavy-handed. It mainly describes the story of an 18-year-old innocent and beautiful girl who falls in love with the school sweetheart. After the two get together, they realize that the school sweetheart likes heavy tastes and is constantly struggling on the edge of love and pain.

Whether it is the detailed description of the three-pointed relationship, or the sadomasochistic plot of superficial resistance but actual surrender, this novel is destined to have no chance to enter the mainland market. Even if it is filmed in Hollywood, it will definitely be an R-rated film, and teenagers under the age of 17 are not allowed. Go into the theater and watch.

Suri didn't know why he recommended this novel to his staff, saying that the story was comparable to "Lolita".

After watching it, I immediately understood that as long as I find the right director and actors, there is indeed the possibility of becoming a dark horse at the box office, which is somewhat similar to "Fifty Shades of Grey" in the previous life.

Comparing it with the stories in the book, Su Rui suddenly felt that his philandering problem was not a big problem, at least he did not have an extreme need for control.

For example, Miss Barbara Palvin, or Jessica who lives next door, if they want to completely separate and start a normal new relationship, Suri will still be happy to continue to give them some important roles and be good to each other. Get together and part ways.

Checked into the Rosewood Hotel in the early morning, lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

After only sleeping for about 4 and a half hours, Su Rui was woken up by Jiang Jiaya's phone call again. After being sleepy all day, she got up to wash up, tidied up and walked to the Louvre Museum.

Far away.

You can see the Louvre using two huge posters for promotion, which read "Special Exhibition of Soulist Painter-Suri's Works" and "The Lost Leonardo Da Vinci Reappears".

As a world-renowned tourist city, there is no shortage of tourists in the square of the Louvre Museum in Paris.

The number of tourists today was even greater than usual. There was a long queue at the entrance to the special exhibition of Su Rui's oil paintings, mainly young people who liked to join in the fun.

Wearing a striped white shirt from Burberry and wearing sunglasses to hide her identity, Suri said with a smile:

"My oil paintings haven't been sold yet, and it's hard to tell how much they are worth, but selling tickets for exhibitions everywhere has brought me 20 to 30 million US dollars in income."

beside.

Secretary Amanda shook her head and added:

"Not only that, you also set up a special copyright studio and licensed them to YOYO, Coca-Cola, KFC and other companies. The pre-tax gross profit is about US$20 million."

Jiang Jiaya settled the accounts and said in a surprised tone:

"If a painting costs an average of US$2 million, wouldn't you make hundreds of millions of US dollars from these children's graffiti?"

“Maybe more”

To be honest, Suri himself was surprised.

It can only be said that his popularity is too high and can be monetized through these projects, such as the movie "The Ex". If the starring role is not his own, the box office is likely to be cut in half. Half of the current high is pretty good.

Just like athletes have commercial value and companies have brand value, Suri's popularity and influence have at least brought him benefits worth tens of billions of dollars. It is not just as simple as "doing twice the result with half the effort."

For example, the short video software TikTok has attracted widespread attention due to its acquisition by Suri. It obviously costs millions every month, but its valuation has soared to about US$500 million.

On Apple's App Store download rankings, TikTok has topped the list for three consecutive weeks, showing potential that has led countless teams in Silicon Valley to follow suit.

Unfortunately.

TikTok’s short video program seems simple, but its hardware requirements are very high. A small team cannot support the initial investment. This means that if you look around the world, you can’t find any competitors yet.

The same goes for the mobile smart terminal business that Netflix Entertainment is trying. Because of Suri, it has been sought after by investors, pushing up its market value by at least US$6 billion.

Google, which also announced its entry into the same field, has experienced a wave of stock price declines.

Making money by selling hardware is only secondary and is a one-time deal. The income from the software part is what Suri really values.

Even Apple, which has always been very profitable with hardware devices, currently has about one-third of its revenue coming from the software segment. According to a certain grain company, the market prospects are pretty good.

Because the person who applied for the appraisal was Su Rui, the "Savior" oil painting that was waiting for the appraisal results to be announced attracted special attention.

Today's press conference at the Louvre was attended by hundreds of people, most of whom came uninvited.

Suri had received dozens of pages of reports from the Louvre in advance and learned that their identification results were authentic Leonardo da Vinci.

But in order to shoot some reality show material and continue to promote the "Savior of the World" oil painting, he still pretended to be looking forward to it, and made up a fake story in front of the camera about buying the painting at a high price through an art agent.

The French approach to work simply goes beyond fishing.

The press conference was clearly scheduled to be held at 10 o'clock, but it was postponed to 10:40 because the director of the Louvre was late.

Apart from the reason of "bringing the glory of his ancestors", Su Rui can no longer summarize the reasons why France can become a developed country.

French employees have only 35 legal working hours per week and must have five weeks of paid vacation a year. Even so, they still complain and feel very hard.

As an entrepreneur.

Suri would rather invest in a car super factory in Africa than hire French workers to work for him, which is equivalent to asking a helper to torture himself. Just thinking about it makes his blood pressure soar.

Faced with the late arrival of the director of the Louvre, reporters from various countries are well aware of the French character and have a habitual attitude.

After the old curator came on stage, he read the identification results for more than half an hour and finally announced that the "Savior of the World" was authentic.

As for the oil painting that reporters wanted to see, it was not released directly because it was "under restoration and cannot be displayed, so please look forward to it."

When the curator of the Louvre went out to have lunch, Suri stopped him personally, faced the camera, and asked:

"I would like to know how long it will take to complete the repair work? Also, what is its market value when the repair work is completed?"

The curator of the Louvre was very polite to Suri and replied with a smile:

"The restoration work has just begun. This is a very complex challenge. I think it will have to wait at least half a year before it can be publicly exhibited. And the valuation of that painting. I personally think it will not be less than 300 million euros. After all, there aren’t any Leonardo da Vinci paintings on the market, so it’s very possible to create a miracle.”

The efficiency is surprisingly slow.

If you give "Salvator Mundi" a low estimate, you are underestimating the value of "Mona Lisa".

It was precisely because he guessed that the old director would not go any further that Suri asked this question. After the show was broadcast, "The Savior" would have a reference value.

Although you don’t plan to sell it for the time being, you can look for opportunities to sell tickets or rent it to a museum at a high price to prevent it from being idle and wasted (End of Chapter)
