Chapter 105 [Despicable Me]

The next day, Yang Rui received a call from Scarlett Johansson, and his mother, Melanie Sloan, invited him and Thomas to the house for dinner and talk about reality TV. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

This kind of advanced entertainment program can easily arouse people's interest. People take food as the sky, and the United States is no exception, "A Bite of America" is not like "Survivor", the audience is wider and has great potential.

Yang Rui hung up the phone, turned his head and asked, "Tom, will you come with me to meet Scarlett's family?" ”

"Huh? She came to meet her parents when she was only 14 years old, aren't you afraid of being beaten? Thomas exclaimed.

"Don't you always think so dirty? I had an idea about reality TV and wanted to shoot something with Scarlett. This had to be agreed by her family. ”

"Reality TV? What's that? ”

In 1998, the reality show was relatively trendy and the concept was vague, and Yang Rui was forced to explain it again.

Thomas immediately shook his head. "Are you going to invest money to go out eating, drinking and traveling with a child? It's only been a few days since you bought the betting, and you're going even more crazy? ”

"It's a reality show, and if there is a radio station willing to broadcast it, you can make money." Yang Rui found that there was a generation gap with Thomas, and he was a futuristic man after all.

"Can't you just get down to business?" Thomas leaned back on the couch and said weakly.

Yang Rui went into the bedroom and took a dozen bound pages of manuscript paper and threw them to Thomas. "Here's the business, chat software plan, you see."

"Don't tell me that you want to make a software chat for the convenience of chatting with Scarlett online." Thomas continued to lie down, too lazy to move.

Both have computers at home and often use ICQ to chat, and Thomas knows it.

"Can you take a look first? ICQ is really ugly, and my software will definitely beat them. Yang Ruihan said. In the minds of his buddies, he is already a hopeless Lolicon.

Thomas didn't have hope and began to read Yang Rui's plan, which was some things about Tencent QQ in the future, and simply drew the software page, with annotations in the functional section.

Of course, Yang Rui's plan is not a simple chat tool, including future VIP members, photo albums, groups, emails, spaces and other columns, which are constantly upgraded. There is a process of step-by-step implementation, and a few things are made first, which is not something that a rough ICQ can compete with.

The page designed by Yang Rui is beautiful and beautiful, and his friends have male and female cartoon avatars, and the most important point is that the name of this chat software is "Minions". The image logo is the Minion in the animated movie "Despicable Me", which will be very popular in the future.

If you use Minions as a logo and add some exclusive chat emojis, it will definitely be easier to remember than Tencent Penguin. In the future, the copyright of Minions will be Yang Rui's, and Universal Pictures can't get around him if he wants to make "Despicable Me", and making movies is equivalent to advertising his company.

Thomas was surprised at first, then stunned, and finally his eyes burst out like a disguised monster surrounded by police.

"How the hell did you come up with these things? When did you start thinking about it? ”

"I started chatting with ICQ, I didn't know how to code, I couldn't make these things, so I had to find someone to do it." Yang Rui smiled.

"I've left this matter to me, isn't it easy to find people?" Thomas excitedly held up the manuscript paper, as if it was the Olympic torch, lighting the flame in his heart.

"What are you going to do?"

"Simple, I'll go to Ilf first, you know, an elite student at Columbia University, a professional manager, and a super book-solving ability. Then we went to Silicon Valley to find an office location, and finally recruited people at nearby Stanford University, and there are so many IT talents! Thomas's eyebrows fluttered.

"How will you keep people in the future?" Yang Rui asked.

"Give them dry shares, you can only pay dividends, you can't trade casually." Thomas's brain was spinning very fast.

Yang Rui laughed: "Hahaha, you persuaded me not to do it just now, are you so energetic now?" The transformation is too fast, right? ”

"This is indeed much stronger than ICQ, as long as the development route is right...... I think maybe it can be listed. Thomas took two deep breaths and praised, "Jerry, you are so genius, another genius who is not good at reading." ”

Yang Rui was very embarrassed to be praised, he had only used future products for many years, knew where the business opportunities were, and had countless ideas to copy.

The IT industry will enter a golden age, and it will be too easy to make money. Yang Rui has no enmity with money, if he throws out his creativity, he can lie down and get money, why not?

Seeing this plan, Thomas didn't care about Yang Rui's reality show, and was thinking about how to compete with ICQ for users. He has always been optimistic about the IT industry, speculating in stocks in the IT industry, buying other people's stocks to make more money is not a career, and he can become a top rich man by doing it himself.

In the evening, the two brought steamed duck with Chinese tea and cheesecake for dessert to visit Scarlett's house.

For the time being, they will not see Scarlett's father, Carsten Johnson, and the couple have long since divorced, with four children, the eldest daughter Vanessa, and the second son Adrian living with Carsten, and a half-brother over there.

The composition of this family is a bit complicated, and Scarlett has lacked fatherly love since she was a child, which makes her a bit of a father-lover complex and likes to be friends with older boyfriends.

Nice hostess opened the door for them. "Hi, nice to meet you, Jerry, Thomas."

"Hello, Melanie." Yang Rui met Scarlett's mother once outside, and he was not inhibited.

"You can call me Tom." Thomas showed a surprised expression: "I can't believe that you are already a mother, no wonder the genes of the two of them are so good." ”

Melanie smiled from ear to ear, women like to be complimented on their beauty, not to mention that she is almost forty years old.

"Tom, you have a good image, are you interested in being an actor? I'm a Hollywood agent, and it's definitely easier for you to find a role than Scarlett. ”

"Thank you, but I have my own business, and I'm going to go to Canada with him for development in a while."

"It's a pity."

After a few pleasantries, everyone entered the house.

Today it was just Scarlett and her mother at home, and Hunter went to summer camp for middle school students.

Every summer, there are always various summer camps in the United States that are suitable for students. Scarlett doesn't go to the event because she is an actress, and she has to wait for the opportunity to go to the mirror at any time.

Scarlett's family lives in a single-family cottage, a typical upper-class white family, and the living room is almost the size of a two-person apartment.

But Johnson's family will not underestimate the two young people, they are both young and promising representatives. Scarlett's parents assured that she was allowed to associate with Yang Rui, just because they liked their status, and people in high positions would not mess around.

Thomas is a top student at Columbia University, which is the oldest university in New York State and one of the five oldest universities in the United States. From 1754 to the present, the school has cultivated countless elites and celebrities from all walks of life.

Yang Rui, a 24-year-old NBA head coach, is well-known in the United States.

Scarlett chatted with the two for a while, and Melanie prepared a simple but hearty dinner.
