Originally, Suri only wanted to raise 15% of TikTok shares in the angel round.

Facts have proved that he still underestimated the attractiveness of this unicorn Internet company. Faced with inquiries from all parties, and after discussing with the family office, he thought it would be better to just do it in one step and save a little worry.

therefore.

The share of angel round financing increased from 15% to 35%, and TikTok’s valuation is tentatively set at around US$5 billion.

In addition to the "settlement fee" previously promised to the media bosses, there is also a 20% share that will be divided among Wall Street and Suri's friends in exchange for a period of peace.

This situation made Su Rui think of the classic sentence in "Theory of Six Kingdoms": "Today we will cut five cities, and tomorrow we will cut ten cities, and then we have to sleep overnight and look around, and the Qin troops have arrived again."

no way.

Even though he is one of the richest super-rich people in the world, he still faces many situations that he cannot help himself with.

The business order in the United States is like this. If you don't attract some strong partners, you will face various difficulties and cannot do business quietly.

If you choose to resist to the end, capital will vote with its feet.

At that time, we will find ways to suppress and discredit TikTok, while supporting other competitors of the same type, crazily squeezing and seizing the TikTok market.

After all the calculations, the gains outweigh the losses in the end.

So Suri simply chose to lie down, just wanting to retain part of the equity and live a comfortable life.

He didn't want to agree to cooperate with She Dazui because he was worried that not only would he fail to help, but he would end up dragging Warwick down.

It is not easy for a high-tech enterprise with core technology to emerge in the Mainland. If it emerges too early, it can easily be targeted in advance and affect its development trajectory.

Went back to the Rosewood Hotel to rest for one night.

Early the next morning.

As soon as Su Rui heard the noise and opened her eyes, she saw Jiang Jiaya wearing a nightgown, standing beside her bed.

He looked at the alarm clock on the bedside and saw that it was only 5:12 in the morning. He stretched out with a displeased expression and said jokingly: "Why, you suddenly don't want to work hard anymore. Come and sleep with me so early in the morning?"

"Dear you, Thalia said she couldn't get through your phone. Let me tell you that a stand-in on the set of "Bad Thief" broke his leg while retreating after climbing Mount Everest. He was left behind At an altitude of more than 8,370 meters.”

After listening to Jiang Jiaya's words, Su Rui's eyes widened, and he quickly got up and sat cross-legged on the bed, asking: "Then what are you waiting for? Save people!"

"Wait until you wake up before rescuing. The person will be cold. We have already spent 200,000 US dollars to hire several Sherpas to help with the rescue. When the mountaineering team came down, we left all the extra oxygen bottles for the injured. Fortunately, we did this in advance. After making some preparations, we are about to retreat to an altitude of 7,800 meters.”

For ordinary people to climb Mount Everest, 8,000 meters is almost a life-or-death line. No one would easily choose to rescue their companions. It is very likely that the person will not be rescued and may even get involved himself.

Therefore, in the mountaineering community, there has been a saying that "there is no rescue above 8,000 meters."

Fortunately, the filming crew of "Bad Thief" was relatively wealthy and had made sufficient preparations in advance, such as hiring people to carry extra oxygen bottles, putting a rescue team on standby, etc., and was able to successfully evacuate the injured several hundred meters down.

The extreme sports enthusiasts hired by this crew are risking their lives to make movies. For safety reasons, they are accustomed to making rescue plans in advance.

Although the injured are still in danger, compared with being trapped at an altitude of 8,370 meters, they are much safer at an altitude of 7,800 meters. They have also received more oxygen and medical supplies, and received relay help from other mountaineering teams.

The rescue work was still going on. Suri called Talia back and learned that she was resting at the Everest base camp, which is more than 5,000 meters above sea level. The director had also arranged a helicopter and was ready to send the injured to the hospital at any time.

There was nothing Suri could do about this unexpected situation. What had to be done had been done. She could only hope that the stuntman's life was strong enough to hold on until he returned to a safe zone.

After hanging up the phone.

Jiang Jiaya reminded:

"You'd better not speak out publicly, otherwise getting you involved will complicate the situation. The executives of Daju Film can handle the whole matter. If it arouses doubts from netizens, "The Thief" may It will be boycotted, causing all the initial investment to be wasted.”

Suri replied:

"I understand. Why don't you go back to your room and take a nap? I don't seem to be very sleepy anymore. I'll ask Xiao Zha to go out for a morning jog later."

Jiang Jiaya took a nap and said to him:

"I went to bed early last night and got enough sleep. I haven't seen the sky at five o'clock in the morning for a long time. Today will definitely be very long. Extra sleep is a waste of life."

Suri likes to put herself in a safe environment. For example, she has long been planning to learn skydiving, but she has not tried it until now.

Thinking of the despair of being trapped on a snowy mountain, chills ran down his back.

Although he admires those warriors who try to conquer nature and their adventurous spirit, if Suri were to try it himself, he felt that it would be more suitable for him to stay at home and watch documentaries with a few words of admiration.

This has nothing to do with being brave. Having a safe and comfortable living environment is the instinctive need of human beings. Some people naturally like to find excitement through adventure and constantly challenge their own limits.

Considering that Suri planned the new version of "Bad Thief" and spent a lot of time, money and effort during the filming stage, he believes that when the film is finished, it must be seriously marketed and promoted, otherwise it will be a waste of the hard work of so many filming crews.

then.

Suri continued:

"If the stand-in is lucky enough to recover, remember to arrange a few interviews for him and give him some extra money. Compared with projects such as "Exes" and "Suicide Squad", only Talia is more famous in the crew of "Bad Thief" Gao, the director is not very well-known, but there are too few hype topics.”

Looking at him sideways, Jiang Jiaya crossed her arms over her chest and said:

"You've simply fallen into the eyes of money. The substitute's life or death is still uncertain, and you have already calculated it."

Su Rui keenly discovered some bright spots and replied:

"Looking at it from another point of view, if he risked his life for the filming, but in the end it failed at the box office and no one cared about it, wouldn't it be a huge tragedy? Also, please be polite during work, it's a bit lost here."

Following the direction of his finger, Jiang Jiaya lowered her head and looked down, only to realize that she had just run over in a hurry, wearing only a nightgown.

She quickly put her hands down and said angrily: "Where are you looking! It's only after 5 o'clock, it's my private time!"

"You're standing right in front of me. I'm not blind. It's my fault."

Su Rui continued to lie down, picked up her phone and checked her email, and heard Jiang Jiaya suddenly say:

"By the way, the program team of "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" contacted me last night and invited me to be a guest. What do you think?"

"Oh? Why did they invite you?"

"Have you forgotten that I have also acted in Netflix Entertainment's web series, and the ratings are very high, so I can be considered an actor after all!"

"Yes, I suggest you not to go. "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" is a CBS television program. I suspect they have no good intentions in inviting you at this juncture."
