Silicon Valley

In order to better manage his own assets and develop the Williams Empire, Henry gradually completed the establishment of the Williams Royal Fund and transferred all important assets to the Williams Royal Fund. The Royal Fund stipulates that only Williams The royal blood and the king of the royal family have the right to handle these properties, while ordinary royal family members can enjoy monthly payments, and if authorized by the king, they can also manage their subsidiaries.

Henry transferred his assets into the Williams royal family fund, so he no longer needs to pay inheritance tax to the United States in the future, and he can also pay a lot less personal income tax!

Today is September 30, 2003, and Apple’s product launch event will be held tomorrow, October 1, which means that the mobile Internet era is coming, which will be more profitable than the PC era, and many industries in the future will be in Henry’s The plan has yielded rich fruits. The sum of these taxes is not a small amount. Henry is naturally unwilling to pay taxes to the United States! ! !

Because Henry is the boss of Apple, Apple's product launch conference was transferred from California, USA to Digo, the new capital of the Williams empire!

Apple's product announcements are bound to be huge and cause a lot of buzz. Henry arranged the press conference in Digo, and did not rule out promoting the city of Digo. Although it is only a few months of construction, the future international metropolis has not yet taken shape, but looking around, thousands of large cranes are erected on the construction site. The scale and number of them are unprecedented. Attract the attention and interest of many people.

In the place near the sea in Diego, there is basically no construction, because many hotels have been established here earlier, and tourism is being developed. Therefore, Apple's product launch event can be held in one of the hotels!

Before the iPhone conference, Apple has already selected its spokespersons. This time, all of them will come to the scene of the iPhone conference.

The spokesperson list includes: Fan Bingbing and Liu Yifei from mainland China, Lin Chiling and Jay Chou from Taiwan, Son Yejin and Song Hye Kyo from South Korea, Avril Lavigne and Michael Jackson from the United States, a total of 8 people around the world. In fact, these lists were all chosen by Henry. Of course, he also has a little selfishness, no, the women on the list... are hungry, to be precise, there should be a lot of beautiful women! Of course, they are also very famous, and they are young, beautiful and fashionable, so they are more suitable to endorse iPhones. Fan Bingbing, Liu Yifei, and Lin Chiling are so beautiful and popular, so I won’t say much.

Son Yejin is the top beauty in Korea, and she fits Henry's eyes very well. She looks like the girl next door, gentle and lovely, charming, and her appearance is so beautiful. At present, she is already well-known in South Korea, and starred in "If Love Has God's Will", a love movie that can definitely make people cry. And the TV series "Summer Scent" she acted in is also very good. This TV series tells a romantic love story, which is also very touching. And not long ago, she took over another classic - "The Eraser in My Brain". After it was released in 2004, Son Yejin's reputation will definitely increase, and she will become almost a household name in Korea.

Song Hye Kyo is also very famous in South Korea, and when the TV series "Full House" is released next year, the ratings will explode.

Singer Avril Lavigne released her first album "LetGo" on June 4, 2002. It became an instant hit and became an unstoppable pop queen.

Among the 8 spokespersons, there are only two men, but with the popularity of Jay Chou and Michael Jackson, it is definitely enough! ! !

This time Apple only shot one endorsement commercial: 8 people acted together, and the film was 90 seconds long.

The awesome lineup, except for Henry, there is no one else who can call them together, and the endorsement fee is sky-high. If it weren't for Henry's financial resources and confidence in the iPhone, these eight people would never have been invited to speak for them. Among them, Michael Jackson's endorsement fees are as high as 200 million US dollars, plus other people's endorsement fees, a total of nearly 450 million US dollars. However, the endorsement period is 10 years.

Michael Jackson is currently involved in a child abuse case. There is a photo that has been widely circulated around the world. Michael Jackson is half masked, with a gloomy face, and is holding a baby. The child's face is covered with lipstick. The baby is crying and looking forward . In fact, this is an unwarranted thing, even the sex scandals, breach of contract, etc. that will appear in the future are all unfounded things!

The truth of the matter is that Michael Jackson was a black man. However, can such a great achievement by black people be tolerated by the severely racist West? In a previous life, he once said: "I'm tired of being manipulated. The oppression is real! They're liars, and the history books are full of lies. You have to know, all pop music, from jazz to From rock to hip-hop and then to dance music, it's all made by black people! But it's all relegated to the corner of the history books! You never see a black person on its cover, you only see Elvis, See the Rolling Stones, but who's the real pioneer? Since I broke records - I broke Elvis records, I broke Beatles records - and then? They call me freak, gay Or, f****** kid freak! They say I bleached my skin and did everything to discredit me, it's all a conspiracy! When I stand in front of the mirror and look at myself, I know, I'm a black man!"

Michael Jackson is at the bottom of his life at the moment, behind him are blacks, and where are the most blacks? Without a doubt, of course Africa. Henry stood up at this time and took out a sky-high endorsement contract to support Michael Jackson. It was like sending charcoal in a timely manner. Countless black people in the world will have a good impression of Henry. Henry only spent 200 million US dollars, not only getting a world-class Uranus superstar for 10 years It’s not too cheap, this will greatly benefit the Williams Empire’s future penetration into African countries!

In addition, if Michael Jackson is at the peak of his career, it is simply delusional to get 200 million US dollars to get a 10-year endorsement period...

As for the other seven people, in fact, the current worth does not match the reward Henry gave them. These people are all rookies, and they will be famous and valuable in the future, but now, can the seven of them be worth 250 million U.S. dollars in 10 years? No! ! !

Therefore, the happiness came so suddenly that everyone was dizzy.

However, Fan Bingbing knew that she was Henry's entertainer, and vaguely knew that Henry might want to cheat on her, so she felt at ease while worrying about gains and losses. Liu Yifei was still young, and was suddenly taken aback by the huge endorsement fee. She didn't dare to come, but when her godfather or godfather thought that the other party was Henry Williams, he was not only the richest man in the world, but also William If the king of the Mus Empire can use Liu Yifei to establish a relationship with Henry, even if it is only a little relationship, it will be enough for this life. In the future, he will not be able to do business smoothly and make a fortune! Therefore, Liu Yifei's godfather had to let Liu Yifei come, and Liu Yifei had to obey her godfather's wishes! Lin Chiling gained more attention in 2002 for filming a TV advertisement of a certain company. In 2003, she was named "Taiwan's No. 1 Beauty". She is preparing to move to mainland China and Hong Kong. How could he not catch it? You know, Lin Chiling has a high IQ, graduated from the University of Toronto in Canada...

Son Yejin and Song Hye Kyo are well-known, but they are only limited to South Korea, and the Korean market is inherently small, and the income of Korean artists is generally not high. Even if they are very famous, their income is not much higher. This time not only the endorsement fee is high, but also for Apple. Apple is one of the top 500 companies in the world and is very famous. To speak for such a company is undoubtedly a very important way to increase your reputation. In fact, many celebrities are even willing to speak for Apple with zero pay, just to show their faces in Apple's commercials and increase their fame!

In fact, when the news that Apple invited the two of them to speak at a sky-high price spread in South Korea, Son Yejin and Song Hye Kyo immediately became the most famous actresses in the Korean film and television industry, and they were also the actresses with the highest endorsement fees. , and great envy, jealousy and hatred! The agency companies behind Son Yejin and Song Hye Kyo were so excited that they almost went crazy. Naturally, they tried their best to seize this opportunity, and they themselves were very willing to accept Apple's advertising endorsement! In addition, Apple belongs to Henry's industry, and Henry has a pivotal influence and status in the Korean entertainment industry. The CJ Group under his name is not only a Korean food giant, but CJ-E\u0026amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp; Its business covers all levels of entertainment and cultural undertakings such as film, television, music, performances, media, and games. Moreover, the Music Division under CJ-E\u0026amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp; , Established a business system including record distribution, TV program production, concert planning and digital media services.

In a word, in Korea, whoever CJ Group wants to be popular will definitely be popular!

...

Before September 30, 2003, eight stars arrived in Diego, the capital of the Williams Empire.

In fact, we have not yet signed the contract with Apple. This time I came to the Williams Empire, and one of the tasks was to sign the contract. And before the contract is signed, anything can happen. Only when the contract is signed can it be considered a certainty. Therefore, everyone is a little apprehensive and worried.

"It is said that King Williams personally selected Apple's product endorsement list! It's just...why did he choose me?"

At this time, everyone had such a doubt in their hearts.

The only four-star hotel on the coast of Diego not only lived in Michael Jackson and others, Jobs and his team also rushed over early on the morning of the 29th of this day, and are currently arranging the venue for the product launch. Henry also rushed over from "Tana City", talking to Jobs while watching the staff arrange the venue.

I learned from the chat that during the delay of the product launch, after testing, there were many problems with the iPhone, especially the antenna door. The frame antenna design that the iPhone is proud of has a fatal flaw. When the user holds the iPhone tightly with his hand, the signal of the mobile network will completely decay to a level that cannot be used within a few minutes.

"So," Jobs said, "I stopped production at the factory and asked the engineers to fix the problem. Now the 'antenna gate' problem is finally solved before the product launch!"

Henry slapped his head and secretly thought that the iPhone 1 of this era was manufactured after the iPhone 4 in the previous life. He actually forgot to tell Jobs that the design of the iPhone 1 was flawed. Fortunately, they finally found the problem.

"You did a good job, Jobs!" Henry nodded in satisfaction. At this time, he looked at Jobs's aging and thin face, and suddenly remembered that Jobs suffered from pancreatic cancer in his previous life, and was finally tortured to death by the disease. If a genius like Jobs "died young", it would be a huge loss to himself! Who will run Apple from now on, Cook?

Henry couldn't help shaking his head. Although Cook did a good job at Apple, he couldn't keep up with Jobs in terms of innovation ability. For an Internet high-tech company, the most important thing is innovation. Apple company lacks innovation, although it can live a good life by gnawing on its old capital, but it is not the way after all...

"We have to find a way to cure Jobs' disease!" Henry thought to himself, "Gene Umbrella must quickly develop a drug to treat cancer. Not only can it save Jobs, but it can also make crazy money!"

At this time, Henry pretended to be very casual and said: "Apple's employees have been busy with the iPhone smartphone for several years. In order to show the leadership's care for the employees, I decided to let the hospital under Gene Umbrella provide free medical treatment for Apple's employees. Employees do physical examinations. Jobs, you are the hardest person in the company, and you have to go for an experience when the time comes. If your health breaks down, how can you work for me!!!”

"Okay!" Jobs nodded with a smile.

Seeing him nodding in agreement, Henry was relieved. Only when Jobs went to the Gene Umbrella Hospital for an examination could he understand the specifics of the disease and the Gene Umbrella Company could prescribe the right medicine.

"Oh, by the way, Jobs, are the stars who are going to speak for the iPhone coming?" Henry asked.

"It's all here..."

Jobs asked, "Your Majesty, do you want to see them? Although I think Asians look almost the same, according to the Asian employees in the company, these female stars are very beautiful!" After finishing speaking, Jobs revealed A strange smile.

I'll go, what look in your eyes! ! !

Am I that kind of person? Yeah? ! !

Henry scolded Jobs inwardly, but he pretended to be serious and said: "Of course I want to meet. After all, they are the spokespersons who are going to sign with Apple. But the most important thing is to meet Michael Jackson, you know , Michael Jackson and I are still good friends, and we danced space dance together on the stage!!!" (two in one)
