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 be guests at home for dinner and talk about reality TV.

This kind of advanced entertainment program can easily arouse people's interest.People take food as their priority, and the United States is no exception. Unlike "Survivor", "A Bite of America" ​​has a wider audience and has great potential.

Yang Rui hung up the phone, turned his head and asked, "Tom, will you go see Scarlett's family with me?"

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

"Don't you think so dirty all the time? I have an idea for a reality show, and I want to do something with Scarlett. This must be approved by her family."

"Reality show? What?"

The reality show in 1998 was relatively new and the concept was vague, so Yang Rui was forced to explain it again.

Thomas shook his head immediately. "Are you going to invest money and go out to eat, drink and travel with a child? You've only been insane for a few days after you bought the betting?"

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

"Can't you do something serious?" Thomas said weakly, leaning back on the sofa.

Yang Rui went into the bedroom and took a dozen pages of bound manuscript paper and threw them to Thomas. "This is business, the chat software plan, let's take a look."

"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 with Ge You, too lazy to move.

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

"Let's take a look and then talk about it? ICQ is really ugly, my software can definitely beat them." Yang Ruihan said.In the eyes of his buddies, he is already a hopeless lolicon.

Without hope, Thomas began to read Yang Rui's plan, which contained some of the future Tencent QQ content, and briefly drew the software page, with annotations on the function section.

Yang Rui's plan is of course not a simple chat tool, including future VIP members, photo albums, groups, emails, spaces and other columns, which will be continuously upgraded.There is a process of step-by-step realization, first come up with a few samples, it is not something that rough ICQ can compete with.

The page designed by Yang Rui is beautiful and beautiful, and friends have cartoon avatars of men and women. The most important point is that the name of this chat software is "Minions".The image logo is the Minion in the upcoming animated film "Despicable Me".

If you use Minions as a logo and some exclusive chat expressions, it will definitely be easier to remember than Tencent Penguin.In the future, the copyright of Minions will also belong to Yang Rui. Universal Pictures can't get around him if they want to make "Despicable Me". Making a movie is more like advertising his company.

Thomas was surprised at first, then stunned, and finally looked like a geek in disguise surrounded by police, his eyes popping out.

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

"It started after chatting with ICQ. I don't know how to program, so I can't make these things, so I have to find someone to do it." Yang Rui smiled.

"I left this to me, isn't it hard to find someone?" Thomas excitedly held up the manuscript, as if it was the Olympic torch, igniting the flame in his heart.

"What are you going to do?"

"Simple, I'll go to Ilf first, you know, an elite student from Columbia University, a professional manager, with excellent accounting skills. Then we go to Silicon Valley to find an office location, and finally recruit people at the nearby Stanford University, IT talents. So much!" Thomas frowned.

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

"Give them shares, only dividends can't be traded casually." Thomas's mind turned very fast.

Yang Rui laughed: "Hahaha, you persuaded me to quit just now, you are so energetic now? Is the change too fast?"

"This is indeed much better than ICQ. As long as the development path is right... I think it may be able to go public." Thomas took a deep breath and praised: "Jerry, you are so talented, you are another person who is not good at reading. Kind of genius."

Yang Rui is very embarrassed to be praised. He has only used future products for many years, knows where the business opportunities lie, and has countless ideas to copy.

The IT industry will enter a golden age, and it is too easy to make money.Yang Rui has no hatred for money. If he can get money while he is creative, why not do it?

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

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

For the time being, they can't see Scarlett's father, Carsten-Johnson. The couple have long since divorced and have four children. The eldest daughter Vanessa and the second son Adrian live with Carsten. There are also A half-brother.

The composition of this family is a bit complicated. Scarlett lacked fatherly love since she was a child, which made her a little Electra and likes to have sex with older boys.

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

"Hello, Melanie." Yang Rui met Scarlett's mother once outside, not being restrained.

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

Melanie was grinning from ear to ear. Women like to be praised for their beauty, not to mention she is almost 40 years old.

"Tom, you have a good image. Are you interested in being an actor? I'm a Hollywood agent. You must be easier to find a role than Scarlett."

"Thank you, but I have my own business, and I will go to Canada with him to develop in a while."

"it's a pity."

After a few greetings, everyone entered the room.

Only Scarlett and her mother were at home today, and Hunter went to the summer camp for middle school students.

Every summer vacation, there are always a variety of summer camps for students in the United States.Scarlett does not go to the event because she is an actress, so she has to wait for the opportunity to go to the mirror at any time.

Scarlett's family lived in a single-family villa, a typical upper-class white family, and the living room was about to catch up with 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 reassured her to associate with Yang Rui, just because of their status, people in high positions will not mess around.

Thomas is a top student at Columbia University, and it is admirable to say that it is the oldest university in New York State and one of the five oldest universities in the United States.From 5 to the present, the school has cultivated countless elites and celebrities from all walks of life.

Yang Ruigengniu, the 24-year-old NBA head coach, has a lot of fame in the United States.

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