The next morning, Gu Ao and Xiao Sui were dressed in bright clothes in a refreshing manner, preparing to embark on their journey to return home.

The money is ready, and the 30% deposit has been reached on the other party's account. After the goods you want are inspected and installed, you can complete the final payment check procedures.

"Happy cooperation," Tulazinski shook hands enthusiastically with Gu Ao.

The $500,000 business is really not a big deal for Tulazinski's agency. The reason why he received such a high reception was purely to take care of Sir Shao's face. Sir Shao asked him about more than $2 million in the first half of the year, which also represents the Xiangjiang Film Industry, which is the big customer of long-term strategic cooperation.

Because there are many things and it is impossible to carry them as carry-on luggage for civil aviation, the US paid the excess fee for the luggage check-in compartment and hired a small box pickup truck to pull each cargo and send it to the airport. The total equipment adds up to about one ton.

"The things are all here. Do you need to check the packaging seal before installing the machine? You are not responsible for finding the wrong delivery after boarding the plane." Tulazinski said jokingly.

Gu Ao nodded and checked it carefully for the last time.

A handyman brought by Tulazinski, and the pickup driver from the equipment company, moved the things down and handed them over to the airport and customs staff.

The heaviest piece of equipment is only more than 200 kilograms, so there is no need for lifting equipment, just lift two strong men.

During the process, Gu Ao noticed that the truck driver was a handsome blonde, quite young and vaguely familiar.

In Los Angeles, you can often see women with good looks and huge appearances, who work as waitresses in a cafe with a meager salary. You can also see handsome men working as handymen, and they get much less money than doing the same jobs in other places.

The reason why they are willing is that they can get more opportunities to be seen by celebrities in Los Angeles.

This is just like why migrant workers who built houses in later generations cost at least 200 yuan a day (staff workers, not technical workers, and 500 yuan a day), while extras in Hengdian are willing to accept a minimum of 200 yuan.

Even in the 1970s and 1980s, the extras in Xiangjiang, including Liu Dehua and Zhou Xingxing, were willing to just have a box lunch and do nothing without paying money.

Because living in the media capital has an illusory exposure opportunity.

When the film investors know how much this opportunity is worth in the mind of the laborer, they can naturally squeeze the difference in salary without having to treat those who want to be famous as human beings, and the other party will be willing to be a dog.

Gu Ao saw this sadness in this young truck driver who worked hard to move goods.

Because he knew that Tulazinski was offering a freight offer based on tonnage, and normal truck drivers would not pull this kind of pork ribs. The goods were too small and there were too many places to pick up the pieces, which was a complete loss of money.

Just like the Ele.me rider decades later, he would not pass by the city for a lunch box, if there were no other orders.

"Hey, I think you are pretty good. Change your business card. Maybe I will run errands to you if there is something to do next time I come to the United States." Gu Ao's heart moved and he took the initiative to hand the truck driver a Marlboro and a business card.

The other party put the cigarette on, then took out a wrinkled wallet from the back pocket of the jeans, took out a business card and handed it to Gu Ao.

It was indeed James Cameron.

Gu Ao was not surprised in his heart, nor did he think that this was a coincidence of cheating.

Because they are originally a truck driver who is determined to change careers, but they have no chance at the moment. Therefore, those who are willing to accept this kind of loss-making business for movie equipment companies are mostly the kind of "truck driver who is determined to be a director."

Although there are many truck drivers in Los Angeles, there are very few of this type, so it is normal to encounter it.

It’s like if a person travels to Wanwan in 2000, then wants to open a record company, and opens a loss-making price and asks an electrician to install security monitoring, then there are only two possibilities:

Or no decoration company is willing to take on this loss-making business and the business is boasting.

Either he is an electrician who is close to the boss of a record company. He would rather not have money to do it for nothing than take on this job. If this is the case later, this electrician is Fang Wenshan, because he is the only electrician who is "motivated to lose money for the boss of a record company."

Because Tulazinski was by his side, Gu Ao couldn't act prescient, so after accepting the business card, it seemed as if nothing had happened.

He vaguely remembers that Cameron seemed to have no reputation before "Terminator". Although he had made movies, it would be at least a year or two later, and the opportunities were not very good. Even if Gu Ao had the opportunity to invest in this director in the future, he would not have to worry.

Gu Ao's attitude towards historical celebrities has always been able to win over them without any effort, and he can use them easily. But he will never kneel down and lick historical celebrities like the protagonists in entertainment novels, that's too low.

Tulazinski also habitually joked: "What? Does Mr. Gu come to the United States next time he buys equipment, don't you need my agency? You don't need to contact the transportation capacity yourself."

"I think this guy is quite handsome. Maybe he is not really a truck driver when he comes to Hollywood, but just wants to find an opportunity to get to know celebrities in the film industry." Gu Ao teased with an evil look.

It is the kind of evil expression that "I know what these people want, so I know more about what scale to squeeze them so that they can maximize their interests and ensure that they will not rebel."

No one outside the circle can understand it.

Just one expression made Tulazinski give up his random guessing.

"Then I wish you all the best."

...

Flights from Los Angeles to Hong Kong also need to refuel in Tokyo.

But this time, Gu Ao directly bought a plane ticket to Tokyo for himself and Xiao Sui, and then sought a turnaround.

At the same time, he bought a direct flight ticket to Xiangjiang for the technical support engineer/photography assistant sent to Tulazinski, and asked him to escort the equipment back first and connect with Sir Shao.

He needs to stay in Tokyo for a few days to help Han Ting solve new problems in the game console business.

When Gu Ao went to Xiangjiang, it was already mid-November. These days, it was already the end of the month when he was traveling around in the three places.

The Japanese-based subsidiary company led by Han Ting has successfully sold the top 600 arcade machines. Various complicated matters in rapid expansion have approached Han Ting's ability limit.

However, the first competitor, Taidong Electric's arcade, is finally going to be launched.

About a month and a half after Hanle Electronics' first arcade machines were launched on the market.

This catch-up speed is already very fast, and other competitors are absolutely unable to do it. After all, only Taidong Electric Appliances has the original version of "Space Invaders" in its hands. Modification, optimization and production can be so fast.

Namco will be at least next February, while Konami and Nintendo may be from March to April.

Han Ting personally drove to Narita Airport to pick up Gu Ao. She could drive in China, but when she arrived in Japan, she just had to re-familiarize the traffic rules. In addition, as long as you can pass the exam, the training process is not strictly blocked, so she can drive in Japan for two months.

Gu Ao and Xiao Sui got rid of the Americans and got into Han Ting's car lightly.

"This is Teacher Han, who was in charge of student internships when I was in the School of Diplomacy, and he also worked in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs." Gu Ao introduced politely, and Xiao Sui also quickly said hello to Han Ting.

"This is Xiao from Fudan, a beautiful writer... Well, I am also my girlfriend I just dated. Teacher Han, you have to keep it a secret for me."

Han Ting carefully observed Xiao Sui's appearance in the rearview mirror for a while, and was also very pleased.

"Student Xiao... It seems that he is older than Gu last year, right?" Han Ting helped Gu Ao check with the eyes of his teacher.

Xiao Sui smiled shyly and said modestly: "I will be 20 after the New Year, and I will be three years older than Xiao Gu. Maybe he will not like my type in a few years."

"Don't say that, it's better to be a little older. I saw Xiao Gu's child, who was so brave. It would be good if someone put a bridle on him and put it together. Although the domestic policy has been completely relaxed in the past two years, there are always tight people who have never suffered losses. Once the brain gets hot and cannot see the direction of the wind, it is easy to suffer a big loss."

Han Ting's advice was a bit nagging, which made Gu Ao feel awkward:

Why does it feel like what he said when he advised Ma Feng to "hold it a little and have to count it"?

But the other party was the teacher who gave him the first opportunity. It was so kind to Gu Ao that he couldn't refute and clarify.

"Teacher Han, don't worry, I know everything in my heart."

Everyone chatted like family members and soon arrived at Yokohama's company.

Because of the expansion of business, Han Ting rented a three-story factory building. Because it is located in the suburbs of Yokohama Port, the straight line distance from Tokyo is 50 kilometers, so the land price is relatively cheap.

It covers an area of ​​600 to 700 square meters, with a total construction area of ​​2,000 square meters on the third floor. The annual rent of only more than 3 million yen is less than twice that of the flagship experience store in Akihabara.

It can be seen that the unit price difference between the industrial land in Yokohama countryside and the gold shops in Akihabara is more than 20 times per square meter.

Only a half of the first floor is the assembly workshop, and the rest is all warehouses. In the 400-square-meter warehouse, two upper and lower floors are piled up with corner iron shelves. Now there are 500 machines densely packed in densely. And a batch of the latest semi-finished products have been shipped from Taicang Port, and you can arrive at Yokohama Port within two or three days.

Gu Ao inspected the company warehouses and Han Ting explained next to him: "As you said, since the first 600 units of goods were shipped, there has been no movement for more than half a month, and he has been saving up and waiting for Taidong Electrical Appliances to appear on the market.

What exactly do you want to make? The later this kind of thing goes on sale, the less you can’t sell it for a good price? Why did you let me stop on the eve of Taidong’s listing?”

The strategy mentioned by Han Ting was exactly what Gu Ao remotely controlled and manipulated instructions during his time in Xiangjiang and the United States. At that time, because the international long-distance international situation could not be explained clearly, Gu Ao did not have the opportunity to explain the profound meaning.

Because he had time to calculate that he had enough time, it would be better to wait for him to deal with this wave of offensive in person.

Gu Ao signaled Han Ting to be calm and restless: "Don't worry, I have a clever plan. Have you gotten the sample of Taidong Electric Appliances? I have to confirm the other party's design in order to lay out specific countermeasures."
