26 Terra Production (2/2)
Bad because after spending so much money, the result is appalling.
Maybe I should replace the head of Horizon Social Network. If this is his best, I don't think he will get any better.
It might not be his fault since AT&T is just too powerful right now. It resists the buyout, so I will let be a footnote in history instead.
By the time 2G is revealed in 1991, 4G will overtake it immediately. Since AT&T spends a lot of money into this new 2G technology, this will cause some severe crash in the stock market.
How could it not? Spending billions on an obsolete technology?
Their board of directors will have their asses.
Let's see if AT&T can resist the buyout then, especially when Horizon Social Network fully dominates the telecommunication market.
I left the meeting room before most people did. The people that have stayed behind are still arguing or debating about the casting and filming schedule.
I let them do all the hard work.
It is what they are paid to do.
Back in my office, I plug in the PlayStation onto the television to play a few games.
It is to test the system I have imagined since the supercomputer in my head have games that are more real than reality.
I know for a fact that PlayStation is insanely popular in the future, so there is no need for any further adjustments to the design.
After about half an hour I decided to stop playing in fear of my eyes melting right out of my skull.
I might have inadvertently blinded all the kids in the future.
To correct that, I call Larry Norman of Crisis System. He is currently in a business meeting with Andrew Grove of Intel and Irwin Jacobs of Qualcomm.
”For the love of god, please release an LCD screen! You got a working prototype, right? Oh sorry. Hello Mr. Grove and Mr. Jacobs. It has been a while since I last talk to the both of you together. Umm… how are things on your end?”
”Good evening, Mr. Maxwell.”
Andrew and Irwin greet me in return. They are generally happy with the state of thing.
Their company makes billions selling obsolete technologies to the masses.
Qualcomm is still a private owned company thanks to my support.
”Alright then, I will leave you to it since having me looking over your shoulder will annoy the both of us. Just release a digital television already, Larry. I don't want my daughter staring at a microwave all day.”
I hang up after that and head to the printer next door.
I print out the screenplays for all three movies before sitting back down behind my desk.
I have a read through Speed before wondering where the hell is Halle Berry.
She is really pissing me off. I will have to teach her another lesson if this keeps up.
”Selene, locate Halle Berry.”
[Accessing Shield Surveillance Network… Locating Halle Maria Berry, born August 14, 1966. Located. Terra Entertainment, Hollywood]
”Eh? Seriously!?”
I pick up the phone and call the receptionist downstairs.
I ask whether there is someone named Halle Berry waiting for me in the lobby.
”Miss Berry? Please hold on a minute, Mr. Maxwell.”
It takes about a minute.
”Yes. I have her here right now. My apology, sir. Shall I send her up now?”
It appears that Halle arrived sometimes in the morning about 8am. She has been sitting in the lobby, waiting to be called up until now.
And what was the reason?
She wasn't a priority on the account of her background.
”Your name is not Jasmine, is it?”
