Across America, Starting with the Boxing Champion Chapter 381

Chapter 381 Uncle's Party

Leaving the crew, Link drove back to the Woolworth Tower apartment, changed his clothes, and took Ivaca to the wealthy villa area on the west side of Central Park, where his uncle Edward Temple lived.

Edward Thompson is Ivaca's eldest brother. He is 30 years old and serves as the vice president of the Thompson Group Real Estate Company. He is an ordinary second-generation rich man.

Link had also met each other at a party at the Tomb family's old house, and they were no strangers to each other after meeting.

“Hi Edward, happy birthday.”

Link said as he handed over the birthday gift chosen by Ivaca.

“Haha, thank you! Link, it's great that you can come. We must have a few more drinks.”

Edward Tomp stretched out his arms and gave him a warm embrace.

Link smiled softly and patted his shoulder. Seeing Tiffany coming, Link asked her what she was doing recently and why she didn't go to Iwaka's place to play.

Tiffany glanced at Ivaca next to her, rolled her eyes and said that she was still a student and had to go to class every day, so there was no time to go there and play every day. She also said that even if she wanted to go, no one would welcome her, alluding to Ivaca.

Ivaca snorted lightly and said that after she became an internet celebrity, she kept her mobile phone and computer in her hand all day long, taking pictures everywhere, and failed three subjects in the semester exam.

In order to prevent her from continuing to mess around like this, her computer was confiscated and her social accounts were strictly monitored. She could only send a maximum of one message a day until she went to college.

“Link, let's judge. Do you think what Eva did is right? Did it violate my human rights?”

Tiffany curled her small mouth, with dissatisfaction written on her round fleshy face.

Link glanced at the cold-faced Ivaca and said with a smile: "Your sister is also doing it for your own good."

“Forget it, just pretend I didn't ask.”

Tiffany waved her hand and said, "I heard Selena say that you are more strict with her, nagging her to go to bed early and get up early to exercise every day, asking her to read and study, and also made her a long list of books, and even more What's too much is that you went on tour to China last month and brought back a hundred SAT mock questions and forced her to do them. Selena said that now she is blinded when she reads books and feels like vomiting when doing test papers. Oh, how pitiful. Selena.”

“Mock test paper? It sounds very good. Is there such a test paper on the Amazon website? I will also buy a hundred copies and let Tiffany do it.”

Ivaca asked with interest.

Tiffany's expression changed, her round face wrinkled and she shook her head at Link.

Link nodded cruelly and said yes.

Tiffany glared at the two of them and walked away angrily.

Link smiled softly and pulled Ivaca into the party. The people at the party today were all young people, including many acquaintances.

Including Kunas Jr., Peter Peltz, David Zuckerman, Luther Detzky, Josie Epstein, and sisters Georgia Bloomberg and Amanda Hearst , Hilton sisters, etc., there are many familiar faces, most of them are the second generation, the third and fourth generation, and only Link is the first generation.

“Little Epstein is here too? How come I didn't know he was also your friend?”

Ivaca asked in a calm voice.

“Haha, we've had drinks together a few times. Little Epstein is a very interesting guy.”

Edward smiled.

“I have to say that you still have very poor taste in making friends, and you are not a decent person.”

Iwaka said coldly.

Edward's eyes twitched and he looked at Link with a wry smile.

Link put his arm around Ivaca's waist and said that today was Edward's birthday, so don't say such words that would ruin the atmosphere.

Ivaca glanced at him and did not continue to say anything.

Edward breathed a sigh of relief, blinked at Link gratefully, pointed at a young man next to Little Kunas and said, "Eva, it's not like I haven't made any progress. Look who that person is."

Link and Iwaka looked over and saw a young man in a red suit standing opposite Little Kunas. He was twenty-six or seven years old, with short brown-blond hair and a handsome appearance.

Even though there were wealthy second-generation people like Kunas Jr. and David Zuckerman in the group, as well as several second-generation New York officials, the young man in the red suit still occupied the C position, surrounded by a crowd of people.

“David Ellison?”

The eldest son of Oracle President Larry Ellison. At the beginning of 2010, Larry Ellison ranked sixth on the Forbes list of the world's richest people with a net worth of US$28 billion.

"Haha, yes, I met him at a lingerie, ahem, high fashion show party. He is now the president of Skydance Pictures. He has made hundreds of millions of dollars without relying on his family. He is a very outstanding person. Guys, we get along very well.”

Edward said slightly proudly.

“Hey, Link, Mr. Link Baker, nice to see you here, my name is David Ellison, and I'm your fan.”

While chatting, David Ellison in the crowd suddenly glanced this way, and then stepped out of the crowd, stretching out his hands towards Link from a distance, with a bit of excitement on his face.

“Hi David, I've heard about you too.”

Link stretched out his hand and shook it. David Ellison held his hand with both hands and said with a smile: "Did you hear that I lost $50 million on my first play, so I am a prodigal?"

Link smiled lightly, he had heard rumors about this.

It is rumored that David Ellison particularly liked aerial combat films such as "The Hero" and "Pearl Harbor", so he made "Aerial Combat Heroes" as his first movie. He lost 40 to 50 million, which was also the largest loss in recent years. One of the serious film projects.

However, the fact that the other party took the initiative to bring up such embarrassing things during chat also shows that he is a relatively straightforward person.

"No, I've seen the promotion of "True Grit". I heard it's your new work. The quality of the promotional video is very good."

Link said.

“True Grit” is a western adventure film co-produced by Paramount Pictures and Skydance Pictures. It is expected to be released in December.

　　Co-directed by the famous Hollywood directors the Coen brothers, the chief producer is Scott Rudin, one of the top ten gold medal producers in Hollywood, and David Ellison serves as the executive producer.

The leading male lead is Jeff Bridges, who won the Oscar for Best Actor at the beginning of the year, and the second male lead is Matt Damon.

From the producer to the director to the starring cast, they are all talented people. You don't need to watch this movie to know that it is a high-quality movie.

David Ellison's ability to gain experience on this kind of crew is the envy of many people.

"Haha, thank you! I am only responsible for a small amount of work in this movie. Even if the movie is a big hit, my contribution will not be too big. Speaking of movies, "Scandal Project" produced by your company is the real success. Investment 8 million, with a global box office of more than 160 million, almost 20 times the revenue.

Link, how did you do it? It was my first time investing in a movie and I didn't know anything. The first one made a loss of more than 50 million, but you made more than 50 million in the first one. That's amazing. "

David Ellison held Link's hand and kept talking nonstop, without even noticing that he pushed Edward Temple aside.

Ivaca pursed her red lips and smiled, walked over to Georgia Bloomberg, and started chatting with Meghan Ellison, the sister of David Ellison.

Link saw that David Ellison was so enthusiastic and admired him so much. He couldn't brag about it. He only modestly said that he was only responsible for investment, and the company's producers were responsible for other matters. His contribution to the film was extremely limited. .

David Ellison doesn't think so, saying that Link is not only the producer of this movie, but also a supporting actor. Without him, the box office would not have been as high as it was.

This is also the view of professional magazines such as "Complete Movies" and "Variety". They also specifically mentioned that during the release period, he made the film hit the headlines several times through various hypes, which also greatly helped the film's box office.

In addition to talking about movies, David Ellison is also his boxing fan and fan, and knows many of his matches by heart.

He said that he often accompanied Larry Ellison to watch his matches at home. Every time he watched, his father would explain the tactics and techniques used by Link in the game, and said that his father also liked his boxing very much.

Hearing David Ellison talk about those boxing matches, Link was sure that the other person was really his boxing fan.

It's not that boxing fans can't remember those things at all, let alone the son of a billionaire on the other side. If he doesn't really like it, he won't remember those things.

Seeing that the other person was a real boxing fan, Link became more enthusiastic. He held a glass of champagne and invited the other person to sit down and chat.

Not far away, Peter Peltz and Little Epstein looked at the two people chatting, with unhappy expressions on their faces. Before David Ellison came over, they all greeted him warmly and took the initiative to chat. A lot of interesting things happened.

But David Ellison's attitude was very cold, without even a smile, and he had a very cold attitude.

At first, everyone thought he couldn't laugh, so they didn't care.

But after Link came, he was like a fanatic fan meeting his idol, praising and licking him all the time, and the smile on his face never stopped.

Peter Peltz was very disdainful. Does a son of a billionaire deserve such praise when he sees Link? He is not afraid of losing face to his father.

　　After Little Kunas saw Link arriving, everyone was very enthusiastic towards him, especially the relatives of the Thompson family, who directly regarded him as a member of the family and as Ivaca's husband.

This made him very angry. He once enjoyed this kind of treatment briefly, but after Link appeared, everything changed and he became an outsider.

“You guys said you wanted to teach him a lesson, but why hasn't there been any movement for half a year?”

Little Kunas held the champagne and asked in a low voice, but the smile on his face was still warm and elegant.

"We have taken action. We were responsible for the Internet craze a while ago. You know how serious the situation was at that time. Link was almost beaten to the ground by us. Unfortunately, when Tesla went public, he became a billionaire. With the myth of wealth and his young and charming nature, those fans not only no longer hate him, but worship him more and are more loyal to him. This **** is also very lucky."

David Zuckerman said helplessly.

Epstein Jr. continued: "Puff Daddy and I also arranged for a few young girls to approach him, but he seemed not to be interested in those girls who were not famous, and he was very vigilant. He tried several times without success. "

Little Kunas was very unhappy after hearing this. He glanced at Link, who was talking and laughing among the crowd and being the center of attention. He lowered his voice and shouted: "Isn't there some way?"

Peter Peltz and Little Epstein frowned and thought for a while.

Some people mentioned that Link likes to speculate in stocks. Maybe you can introduce a few stocks to make his investment fail. As long as there is no money, his halo will be weakened.

Luther Detzky proposed to lure him into taking drugs. An upstart like Link who became successful at a young age must be mentally empty and drugs can be used to control him.

Little Epstein said that Link is not interested in ordinary girls. Maybe he can find a female celebrity to get close to him, make him make mistakes, and then try to gain leverage against him.

Little Kunas nodded after hearing this and asked them to arrange it as soon as possible. He didn't want to see Link for a moment now.
