Chapter 283 Unknown Strangeness
On December 31st, French time, at around six in the evening, in the main study of the first family's large estate outside Paris.
Ron's father had just told the person on the phone to keep it secret when there was a knock on the door.
The old man said, "Come in."
In came Ron and a man. With messy black hair, black-rimmed glasses, and an unshaven beard, he looked about forty or fifty years old.
"Father, are you looking for me?" The man pushed his glasses and asked.
The old man said: "Yes, let's listen to this." Then he said to the phone, "It's okay, let's release it."
After listening to it twice, the man said: "This old man speaks the elegant dialect of China, which is the common language of all Chinese dynasties since ancient times. Before the Zhou Dynasty, it was untestable. After that, it was Mr. Confucius in the Spring and Autumn Period..."
"Stop, get to the point." said the old man who had covered the phone while the man was speaking, "I just want to know what he said now."
"He said two things," said the man. "One said it was the third and last time. The other said it was odd, odd indeed."
"Strange?" the old man asked, "Didn't you say anything weird?"
"No." The man asked, "He speaks the elegant dialect of China, Nanjing Mandarin, which is now commonly known as Old Nanjing Dialect. I have been to Nanjing, China when I was studying the history of the Ming Dynasty in China. Although this person's voice is different, but It’s still Nanjing Mandarin.”
The old man asked: "Is there anything special?"
"Well," the man thought for a while and said, "By the way, he speaks half-vernacular and half-classical Chinese. Nowadays, Chinese people speak only vernacular. People who can speak this language are mostly living in isolation from the world for a long time. , a place that doesn’t communicate with people very much. And in this era, maybe the Republic of China, it moved there at the beginning of this century.” Then he smiled excitedly, “By the way, this is a ‘Peach Blossom Spring’, very It has research value." Then he asked, "Father, where is this?"
"Didn't you hear what others said, the last time, it was obvious that outsiders are not welcome." The old man said.
"Why is this so?" The man said discouragedly, and then said, "Father, if there is nothing else, I will go back."
The old man said: "Let your maid help you clean up, and come out for dinner later."
"Clean up what?" the man asked back.
"Cough!" Ron coughed lightly, drawing the man's attention, and then touched his chin.
The man touched his chin, smiled without any embarrassment: "I don't think it's necessary, anyway, it will grow out in two days."
The old man rubbed his forehead and said with a headache, "At least cut your hair."
The man scratched his head, looked at the falling dandruff, and said with some embarrassment: "I see." After speaking, he left the study.
The old man said to the phone: "Let's withdraw, withdraw everything, take everything away."
"Yes, sir."
Seeing the old man hang up the phone, Ron opened his mouth, but didn't ask.
The old man nodded with a smile and said, "Very good. When I can tell you about this matter, I will tell you of course. This person is far away from us, and maybe we will never meet in this lifetime."
Ron leaned back and said, "I see, Father."
"alright,
Let's move on. "The old man said, and continued, "After April 1983, Mr. Bartley drove an OB truck to buy things, that is to say, the Good Mood Consortium already had satellites at that time. Then she laughed again, "Miss Mei Daizi started TV shopping at that time." "
"The Yueyao Department used to be on Nikai TV Station," Ron said while flipping through the information to the previous place. "At that time, they may have borrowed the equipment from Nikai TV Station."
"It's not surprising," said the old man.
Ron began to read again, "Except for those who resigned, Migao Entertainment Group has not fired a single employee so far, and they are very supported by employees. The TV station directly under Migao Entertainment Group currently has 18 channels, TV dramas , Movies, Animation, Children's Animation, Film Nostalgia, TV Series Nostalgia, Animation Nostalgia, Entertainment, Music, Opera, Sports, Animal World, Science Popularization, Children's Education, Primary Education, Secondary Education, High School Education and reserved channels, these are only a few Or there is no advertisement, and it is broadcast to the world by three satellites. It is worth mentioning that the children's education, primary education, middle school education and high school education channels it opened, these channels are all conducted by retired teachers in accordance with the model of teaching students Recorded and played. It is said that these channels will be more refined in the future, and will develop into grade education channels, and will contact schools to broadcast class content, so that school-age people around the world can go to school simultaneously. Reserved channels may be reserved for Mrs. Meizi and Miss Meidaizi It is set, it generally only broadcasts the news bulletins of the day from all over the world in the evening of Japan time, and often plays some TV dramas and cartoons in succession.”
"Where's the website?" the old man asked.
"The original websites are all news websites, all in the hands of the News Broadcasting Department. With the help of Mr. Bartley's resources, they are now one of the best news media in the world. Especially the Tell News Broadcasting, perhaps the That's why they agreed to be acquired." Ron said, "Migao Entertainment Group currently only has one website, the content is the program list. It used to be only for TV, but later it has more theaters from United Pictures. It also has a voting , you can vote for programs such as film and television dramas that have been broadcast in the past, and the one with the most votes will be broadcast on TV in the future."
The old man asked: "So, the opera channel is broadcasting operas?"
"Yes, and most of them are live broadcasts." Ron smiled. "The TV drama channel will broadcast new TV dramas during prime time, and will broadcast TV dramas from recent years continuously at other times."
"That's not bad." The old man smiled.
"Its set-top box was originally only sold in the United States. After winning the entire United Pictures theater chain last year, it handed over the entire business to Mora Electronics and Communications, and then sold it abroad in cinemas in various countries through the United Pictures theater chain." Ron looked at the document and said with a smile, "For Paris, it won't be sold until February next year."
"Buy one at that time." The old man smiled.
"Migao Entertainment Group's advantages are obvious. Mr. Bartley has sufficient funds. It exclusively owns more than 100,000 film and television copyrights. In terms of market share in the United States, movies account for nearly 50%, TV dramas account for more than 40%, and animation accounts for nearly 70%. Its disadvantages are also obvious. Whether Mr. Bartley buys a company or land , without careful investigation in advance, and overpays a lot every time. Its so many studios have not produced many blockbuster movies, and with the support of Mr. Bartley, the cost of these movies is very high."
"That's all about Migao Entertainment Group." Ron laughed.
The old man asked suspiciously: "If this is the case, how come the information is less than half read, what is below?"
"It's Mr. Bartley's fiancée, Miss Anne Ferdinand." Ron said, "It's just because Mr. Bartley and Miss Ferdinand didn't have a formal wedding, but both Mr. Bartley and Miss Ferdinand wore wedding rings on their hands." ring."
The old man asked: "What's going on?"
Ron laughed and said, "Because of Mr. Bartley's indiscriminate life in Hollywood, Miss Ferdinand has been separated from him since the end of 1986, not even Christmas."
"At that time, Mr. Bartley had already acquired Michael United Films." The old man smiled, "It seems that this Hollywood tycoon can't stand the temptation."
Ron laughed and said, "There are too many beauties in Hollywood."...
