Chapter 3490 The 30th Person
"Nokia!" The king brand among mobile phone brands, even if 'Phantom Technology' is now fully committed to mobile phones, it cannot shake the position of 'Nokia' for the time being. If you really want to shake the position of 'Nokia', you have to wait for the next generation of mobile phones to be launched. mThat is New Year's Day next year.
With a "clang", Ellison smashed a mirror with the Nokia mobile phone in his hand. The mirror was broken, but the mobile phone was fine. Nokia's quality is indeed the best on earth!
Seeing this, Ellison, who had confidence, shot left and right, walking and knocking all the way. Only the sound of glass breaking inside was heard, which made the director look distressed.
"Don't worry, we will compensate for it all. And we guarantee that it will be repaired before tomorrow's film studio." Li Zekai comforted.
The director could only helplessly endure the sound of glass breaking in his ears, and use his strong will to turn it into silence, so as not to bleed in his heart.
"Despicable!" The girls shouted in unison. It was too shameless to choose to smash the glass directly.
"Haha, it doesn't matter if it's mean or not. You just said you would find Lydia within 15 minutes, but you didn't say what means you would take. And we didn't bring any heavy objects in, just two Nokias." Lin Feng said with a smile.
The women groaned.
After a while, Ellison's surprised cry came from inside. Obviously, he found Lydia. Only a few minutes later, Lydia came out surrounded by Ellison's joy.
"Pa pa pa pa!" Lin Feng and others applauded.
"Okay, now it's finally a happy ending, Ellison, why don't you prepare to propose!" Lin Feng shouted, asking Ellison to seize the opportunity to propose.
Although Ellison didn't know much about women, he was smart and was the best at seizing opportunities in the business world. He was about to kneel down immediately, but was stopped by Lydia.
"You have to answer me a question before I consider your proposal." Lydia said.
"What's the question?" Ellison asked anxiously.
After being successful and having so many friends and brothers, Ellison's most urgent desire was to have his own home. Thirty years ago, he had a family but didn't cherish it or care about it. He was single for thirty years. His parents left and he was alone. No one wanted a family more than him. In particular, Lydia was the woman he liked, and they had a child.
"You know. I have a cousin named Amanda. She is here today and wants to test you.
Today's marriage proposal test was also proposed by her. No matter what conditions she proposes later, as long as they are not too excessive, I hope you can complete them and don't get angry." Lydia said.
Amanda Hearst. Another heir of the Hearst family is a strong competitor of Lydia. At present, the Hearst family has not yet completely decided who will inherit the family business in the end. However, since the Hearst family had declined at the time. It was with the help of Lin Feng and Ellison that the Hearst family defeated the previous mortal enemy family, the Pulitzer family. Of course, it was not a complete victory, but it finally made the gradually declining Hearst family proud.
This also raised Lydia's status in the family. Reached a status comparable to Amanda Hearst. The competition between the two is becoming increasingly fierce. Amanda came today, which made Ellison a little strange.
"She is my cousin after all. And she is the eldest great-granddaughter of my great-grandfather. Although there is a competition between us for the family heir, I never want to compete with her, and she doesn't want to compete either. It's just that we have to compete under the circumstances. In fact, we have a good relationship. She heard that I was getting married, so she came to see you. She wanted to see who you are!" Lydia said.
Lydia was also very sad about the relationship between herself and her cousin Amanda. When they were young, they had a very close relationship, but unfortunately, as they got older, their relationship was not as good as before. This time, she was getting married, and Amanda was willing to come, which made Lydia very happy.
"Well, where is she?" Ellison sighed helplessly.
"Here she is. She was pretending to be one of me." Lydia pointed to a blonde beauty walking over from a distance and said.
Amanda Hearst, like Lydia, is also a model and one of the New York socialites. She and Lydia are no less famous in New York than the Hilton sisters. However, compared to the Hilton sisters' publicity and luxurious life, she, like Lydia, is extremely low-key and has her own company.
"Ellison, I have seen you in many American newspapers, of course, especially in our family's newspapers, which report a lot about you. You have almost no secrets in front of me." Amanda said arrogantly.
Ellison frowned. This is a bit too arrogant, but seeing that she is Lydia's cousin, he had to endure it.
"If you want to marry me, Lydia, then you must answer three questions of mine!" Amanda said coldly, "If the three questions satisfy me, I will agree that Lydia will marry you. Otherwise, whether Lydia is willing to marry you or not, I will firmly oppose it. You should know my influence in the family."
Ellison curled his lips and asked which three things.
"First, if one day your ex-wife asks you to remarry, will you consider remarrying?" Amanda asked.
Ellison's ex-wife is now a senior commentator in the newspaper industry. Although she is over 50 years old, she is still very beautiful and has not remarried since divorcing her second husband. Although the ex-wife has never come to see Ellison since the divorce, and the two have not had any phone calls, Amanda is still worried about this. She can't let Lydia be wronged.
"You can be absolutely assured of this. Since I have left, I will never look back. Besides, it has been 30 years. Do you think I will still make Lydia sad for what happened 30 years ago!" Ellison answered without thinking.
"Well, this answer satisfies me, and I believe in your character." Amanda nodded and did not dwell on this issue.
"The second question is, you are 60 years old this year, and Lydia is only 22 years old this year, you are 38 years older than her. In ten years, you will be 70 years old, and in 20 years, you will be 80 years old, while Lydia is only 42 years old at this time, in the prime of life. If you unfortunately go to see God, how are you going to deal with Lydia?" Amanda asked.
Everyone was silent. This is the problem that the old man and the young wife must face. It is acceptable for the man to be a few years older than the woman. But it is a bit exaggerated to be 38 years older. Ellison is still in good health now, but what about in another 10 years, or 20 years? He is old, and Lydia is still young. What should he do?
"I have also thought about this issue. When I marry Lydia, I will set up a fund for her and deposit half of my annual income into this fund. When I am gone, the money in this fund will be returned to Lydia in the form of annual payments to ensure her quality of life. At the same time, I will try my best to ensure my physical condition so that I can live healthier and longer, and let me spend more time with Lydia. As for all the shares I hold, if my children and grandchildren become successful, I will hand them over to them to take care of. If not, I will entrust them to Lin Feng. Let him help me find a suitable heir." Ellison gave his answer without hesitation.
He has also thought a lot about this issue and has come up with a solution long ago. Therefore, he does not find this problem difficult at all. Instead, he can take the opportunity to tell Lydia about his plan. It is a good thing.
Amanda nodded in satisfaction. Ellison did not leave all his property to Lydia, and she did not think there was anything wrong. In the West, the inheritance of an estate does not mean that it must be left to his wife or descendants. Many knowledgeable people in society even donate all of it to society and charity. Ellison can deposit half of his income into the fund from now on, which is enough to show his sincerity. His annual income, according to shares, not counting the final share dividends, is also several hundred million US dollars. Ellison can live for at least 20 years without any problem, which means there is almost a fund of more than 2 billion US dollars, enough for Lydia to live happily for the rest of her life.
"The last question, if your friend Lin Feng comes to you for something (non-business), and Lydia is also looking for you, who will you go with?" Amanda glanced at Lin Feng.
Everyone frowned. This question is a bit heartbreaking, and it can't be compared at all. These are two concepts. Shi Yuzhu and Zong Qinghou looked at each other. This is a bit like a woman asking a man, "If your mother and I fall into the water, who will you save first?" Of course, this is a variant version. After all, Ellison's parents are dead, and he only has brothers and friends.
Ellison frowned a little. He didn't dislike the first two questions at all, but he disliked this question. This question was too different. Moreover, if Lin Feng came to him, even if it was not business, he must have something to do. As a friend, he would naturally go. And Lydia came to him, generally speaking, there was no important matter. Most of them were for dinner, movies, or some intimate words. When can't we do these words and these things!
Ellison was about to explain, but Lin Feng spoke first.
"Haha, in fact, this is not a problem at all. If it is not business, Lydia and I have a conflict. As a man, I naturally value women over friendship. Do I need to ask this kind of question!" Lin Feng laughed and winked at Ellison.
Ellison, this guy, doesn't understand women's hearts. If he explains it in a formal way, he will definitely be caught by Amanda and the matter will get out of hand. So, just say "value women over friendship" to cover it up.
"Yes, I value my relatives and friends. It's not a big deal. It doesn't matter if I ignore my friends. What's important is my wife!" Ellison is not a fool. After getting Lin Feng's hint, he naturally knew how to answer. Although his voice was a little frivolous and a little insincere, Amanda couldn't say anything. She just glared at Lin Feng fiercely.
"Okay, you passed my assessment. I have no opinion. But whether you can make Lydia agree to marry you in the end depends on whether you can do the three things you promised Lydia." Amanda retreated to Lydia and held her hand. "Lydia, no matter what the interests behind us are, the relationship between the two of us should not change. I don't have any gift for you today, but I brought a doll that we loved most when we were young. This is the 'Barbie doll' that we bought together. Although it is old and worthless now, I have kept it. Now I give it to you!"
"Amanda!" Lydia burst into tears. This 'Barbie doll' was bought by them when they were little. Because of their parents' strict rules, they were given very little pocket money. Then they took turns to play with it. Later, as they grew older, the interest groups behind them began to compete for the family inheritance rights, 18 newspapers, 9 radio and television stations, etc., and they never met again. Occasionally, they met in very formal occasions. This Barbie doll has been left with Amanda.
Originally, I thought that this Barbie doll had been abandoned by Amanda as their relationship changed. After all, for them as adults, they could buy hundreds of Barbie dolls at will, so this was not important. But I never thought that Amanda still kept it. The Barbie doll that represents their friendship is still kept.
"Lydia, this is for you. I wish you happiness!" Amanda put the Barbie doll in Lydia's hand, "Ellison, now it's up to you. See what you can do to completely impress Lydia."
Ellison took a deep breath.
"Lydia, for today, so many of my friends have tried their best today. I have fulfilled all three of your conditions." Ellison took Lydia to the open space outside.
"Your favorite flower is plum blossom. Although it is the dog days of summer, we have found enough plum blossoms to decorate the entire Disneyland!" Ellison made a gesture, and all the lights were turned on. The white plum blossoms came into view, and Lydia exclaimed.
She proposed this condition just to create a problem for Ellison, so that she would not think that she was too easy to marry. This man is like this, and he doesn't cherish what is too easy to get. But she didn't expect that Ellison did it all.
"Oh my God, Larry, how did you do it? Plum blossoms only bloom in winter. How did you make it bloom in the dog days of summer!" Lydia exclaimed.
"Haha, the power of love, this is the power of love!" Ellison smiled slightly, "Look, it's snowing, and the sky is moved by our love and it's snowing."
The snow machine began to make snow frantically at this moment, and the snowflakes all over the sky fluttered in the wind. Although they turned into water droplets before they reached the ground, they evaporated immediately. But you can clearly see the snowflakes flying all over the sky, dancing in this July day, coupled with the endless plum blossoms all around, at this moment, Disney is extremely beautiful.
