Chapter 1166 (1/2)
Connecticut, an estate in the western suburb of Greenwich.
Two Black Hawk helicopters successively landed on the open lawn of the manor. When the helicopter gangway was down, a group of people who were not far away soon met them.
Simon stepped down from the gangway of one of the helicopters and saw Lin Lan and others coming forward. He just nodded and asked, ”what's the matter?”
”It's still in the delivery room.”
Lin Lan just said, see Simon has gone to the villa, quickly and his husband and brother Lin Dong and others to keep up.
At the gate of the delivery room decorated in the villa, Lin Su's mother and the housekeeper angri are waiting here. When they see Simon, they say hello and look at the delivery room together.
The housekeeper whispered the details to Simon.
”The broken amniotic fluid from Ms. Lin's walk after lunch was immediately sent to the delivery room. Dr. beckon and she are all in it. At present, everything is normal.”
Simon nodded slightly.
Originally worried about her daughter's insistence on staying in front of the delivery room, Lin's mother saw her son-in-law standing with her, and her second daughter whispered, and finally agreed to wait in the next living room.
Everyone sat down in the living room, Lin Lan affectionately took her mother's arm, but looked at Simon: ”brother-in-law, let me sit in the helicopter outside. I haven't been in a helicopter yet.”
Lin's mother raised her hand and patted her second daughter's head: ”your elder sister is still in the delivery room, so she wants to have fun. She loves you in vain.”
Lin Lan covered her head and said, ”Mom, you've seen so many times. The best equipment, the best doctor, and my sister's prenatal examination are very healthy. What can I worry about? I want to have a baby here in the future.”
Simon took the coffee from the housekeeper and looked at Lin Lan, who pretended to be a little girl in front of him. He said with a smile in Chinese, ”if you want to sit down, go and let them take you around. When you come back, you can see your nephew.”
Lin Lan gets up, is pulled down by her mother, and reluctantly sits down again. In fact, she is only a few months younger than Simon, and works in the system. Of course, she is not so unstable. She deliberately creates a lively image of a little sister in front of her sister, but she is not really sensible. She takes the initiative to change the topic: ”brother-in-law, where are you coming from?”
”Toronto,” Simon said after a sip of coffee, ”yesterday was the opening of the Toronto Film Festival.”
Lin Lan tilted his head: ”I don't know, but it seems that the Venice Film Festival is going on recently?”
”Yes, the Venice Film Festival will close tomorrow. The two festivals are often held at the same time, but the types of films they face are different.”
Lin Lan didn't know about this, so she changed the topic wisely: ”speaking of the movie, brother-in-law, crouching tiger, hidden dragon, produced by your company, is really popular in China recently. We also saw the news in the morning that the box office has reached 39 million, and many local tickets can't be bought. The total box office is sure to exceed 100 million as in the United States.”
Today is September 12th.
Friday.
In China, as of yesterday, ”Crouching Tiger, hidden dragon” had just been released for one week and won 39 million yuan at the box office in seven days, but the opening performance was far more than ever.
Once upon a time in history, because China was shown earlier than the United States, and because the film was too literary and artistic, it did not meet the public taste, the box office of the film in the mainland was only 15 million.
This time it's different.
Crouching tiger, hidden dragon, which has set a record of Chinese martial arts in North America, has won a similar aura to farewell my concubine and sunny day. The other two films are also literature and art films. Because they won awards overseas and won international fame, they are favored by domestic audiences. One of them made more than 40 million at the domestic box office, and one of them made 50 million. Frankly speaking, the aura of Crouching Tiger, hidden dragon is stronger than the other two films.
Coupled with the official recommendation of China, it's hard not to exceed 100 million yuan this time.
Lin Lan's husband, Qin Yusong, finally got a chance to break in and said, ”in fact, it's nothing to break through 100 million yuan in China, but it's the North American side. The total box office may be 1 billion yuan, which is almost equal to the total box office of all the movies in China in one year.”
Although Lin's mother had noticed it during this period of time, listening to the second son-in-law's words, she also exclaimed: ”so many.”
Lin Lan said with a smile: ”who can make my brother-in-law so powerful?”
Simon just smiles and looks at Qin Yusong: ”what's your work like recently?”
”Not bad.”
Qin Yusong can only be modest.
Climbing the towering tree of the westero system, of course, is not only OK.
Over the past half year, after consulting with Simon, Lin Su has invested the sum of 500 million US dollars that he cashed out of Scomber last year, together with Simon's supplementary funds, into Zhejiang. Women used to be confused about this, but now they are preparing for their children. By the way, they can also be counted as returning to their hometown and helping their families.
With this fund, Lin Lan and Qin Yusong, who are highly expected by the two families, have earned enough political capital. They have not only climbed one level this year, but also transferred to key departments with greater potential for growth.After chatting about the recent situation for more than two hours, good news finally came from the delivery room next door.
The eleventh child of the Westeros came to the world.
Nine pound fat boy.
We enjoyed the fun and soon left the space for Simon and Lindsay, and of course, a chubby little girl.
Simon sat in front of the big bed in the other bedroom, looking at Lin Su, who was still a little pale, trying to feed the baby, and asked with a smile, ”how does it feel to have a baby?”
Lin Su's eyes did not leave the little spot in his arms. He just glanced at someone and said in a low voice: ”try it.”
”Well, it's difficult.”
Lin Su simply ignored it.
Simon thought of one thing and asked, ”everybody's here. Why didn't your father come?”
”Said is busy,” Lin Su should be a, pause, and smile, look over: ”China side, we have a full moon when the child's habit of banquet, Dad deliberately ignore, just want me to take the child back, in Hangzhou side do full moon wine, if everyone came, see the baby, I may not go back.”
Simon saw that Lin Su had not concealed his old father's thoughts. He laughed and said, ”since you have this habit, let's do it.”
Lin Su squinted again: ”you deliberately pretend to be stupid. Of course, my father wants to see his grandson, but he doesn't want you to go with him.”
Simon calculated the time and said, ”let's go there together. It happens that Asia will be more lively in October. I'll go and have a look.”
”Well?”
”The financial turmoil.”
”Oh,” Lin Su suddenly lost interest, looked down at the ugly little guy in his arms for a while, and raised his eyes again: ”by the way, there is also the matter of the name. My mother thinks that the baby's name is little Simon, which is a little strange. Besides, my mother says, I'm afraid he can't hold up, or I can change it?”
Simon looked at Lin Su with shining eyes: ”do you want to change it?”
Lin Su was a little embarrassed by Simon. After a pause, he shook his head: ”I don't want to.”
