Hollywood starts with an agent

Chapter 595 The Number One Beauty?

"Jack, what are you doing in Taipei?"

In the afternoon, at the Grand Hyatt Taipei, Aaron and Jack Wells sat on a sofa drinking coffee.

Jack Wells, looking rather secretive, explained in a low voice, "High-ranking officials from the Department of Defense are here to discuss some arms sales."

"I'm here as a security guard. Angel Company has a lot of contact with the Ministry of National Defense now, and I also want to build some rapport with them!"

Aaron understood. "Weapons sales again? They really never seem to calm down."

He then looked at Jack Wells and said, "Since you've come all this way in person, it seems this guy's identity is quite extraordinary!"

Jack Wells chuckled. "Heh, a senior staff member in the Secretary's office. He has deep connections in the military; he used to be in the Quartermaster Department."

What brings you here?

“Me?” Aaron shrugged. “I’m going to Shanghai, China for the Fortune Global Forum. AOL is in talks with Time Warner about a merger.”

"Steve Case and Gerald Levin will both be in attendance this time."

“Hiss,” Jack Wells exclaimed in surprise, “AOL is merging with Time Warner?”

One is the world's largest internet company, and the other is the world's largest media group. Will the U.S. Telecommunications Commission approve it?
Aaron nodded. "Yes, so I'm planning to meet with Steve Case and Gerald Levine to have a chat!"

Jack Wells leaned back on the sofa. "I see. By the way, the opening ceremony of Universal Studios Japan in Osaka seems to have been quite successful."

"However, the Hong Kong Disneyland project has also caused quite a stir. Universal Studios faces fierce competition in Asia."

Aaron laughed. "You think I'm afraid of Disney?"

Jack Wells stood up. "Alright, I'm leaving now. I'll probably be heading home tomorrow!"

"Hmm, how about we grab a drink?"

Aaron stood up too; there was a bar inside the hotel!

Jack Wells shook his head. "Oh, there are plenty of opportunities. Let's talk about it when we get back home. I'm on a mission."

After Jack Wells left, Aaron curled his lip and said, "Weapons for sale, Troublemaker Number Two!"
Afterwards, Aaron went straight to the hotel bar to relax; it was his first time in Taipei anyway.

At the bar, after drinking a cocktail, Aaron noticed a tall, beautiful woman sitting not far away!
"Hmm, isn't that Lin Zhiling? The future number one beauty of Taipei!"

Aaron quickly walked over and ordered two drinks. "Miss, may I have a drink with you?"

Lin Zhiling paused for a moment, then flashed a charming smile, "Ah, thank you!"

"Hello, I am Aaron Anderson, from California, USA."

"Hello, my name is Lin Zhiling."

The two clinked glasses. "Your English is very good. Have you ever lived in the United States?"

Lin Zhiling shook her head. "No, I graduated from the University of Toronto in Canada."

Aaron became interested. "Oh, what does Miss Lin study?"

"Western art history and economics!"

Aaron smiled and said, "The first thing I thought of you was that you were a model."

Lin Zhiling nodded. "Yes, I entered the modeling industry quite early. After graduation, modeling is my main job now."

"Hmm, no wonder, I guessed right."

Lin Zhiling glanced at the man and asked, "What does Mr. Anderson do?"

Aaron took a sip of his drink. "Me? I come from Hollywood, from film, television, and music."

"However, as for models, I'm more familiar with Victoria's Secret Angels." Lin Zhiling exclaimed in surprise, "Hollywood? They have Victoria's Secret Angels?"

Although the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show is not broadcast live on television, it has built up a huge influence over the years.
Lin Zhiling has lived in Toronto for several years, so of course she knows.

Aaron shrugged. "Yeah, I'm in the entertainment industry!"

Lin Zhiling nodded. "Did Mr. Anderson come to Taipei for business?"

"Of course, I work for Dawn Universal. We have Universal Music (Taipei) and Dawn Universal International (Taipei) in Taipei."

"Dawn Global, that's the most powerful film group in Hollywood!"

Aaron smiled and extended his hand. "Let's go dance in the dance floor."

"Ok!"

The two then went to the dance floor and swayed to the rhythm of the music...

That evening, outside the hotel, after a passionate kiss with Lin Zhiling, Aaron, still somewhat unsatisfied, said, "I have to go to Shanghai to attend the Fortune Global Forum."

"I will also come to Taipei to attend the opening of the Taipei Sax Fifth Avenue boutique department store, which is also one of my properties!"

Lin Zhiling leaned against Aaron's chest. "Okay, call me when the time comes."

Aaron smiled and leaned close to the other person's ear, "If you have time, you can come to Shanghai to see me. I'm not really interested in the opening of the Saxophone Fifth Avenue department store in Taipei!"

Aaron believed that once Lin Zhiling found out who he was, she would understand her position.

Lin Zhiling nodded and said softly, "Then, I'll wait for your call."

Not long after, Lin Zhiling left, and Aaron returned to Wang Zhuxian's villa.

Wang Zhuxian was sitting on the sofa reviewing recent affairs of Huanya Company when she heard, "She's back!"

“Yeah,” Aaron walked over, sat down next to the woman, and kissed her. “You must have a lot of work to do.”

Aaron glanced at the documents beside him.

"Yes, Media Asia currently invests in films in Hong Kong and TV dramas in mainland China, and also has contracted actors within the company!"

Aaron casually picked up the contracted actor's file and flipped through it; there were several actors from Taipei.

I spotted two familiar faces, Lin Xilei and Jia Jingwen, they're both very beautiful!

Aaron casually put the bag down, put his arm around Wang Zhuxian, and suggested, "Huanya is expanding quite well now; it seems like it's time to build its own headquarters building."

“Hong Kong and Japan can both build here as their own permanent assets. If they don’t have enough funds, they can ask Haihua to invest.”

Wang Zhuxian thought for a moment, "Huanya still has some money, but isn't building a headquarters building a bit of a waste?"

Aaron shook his head. "Can it be rented out?"

Wang Zhuxian nodded, "Alright, I'll sell my shares in Xinke and invest them then."

"We already approached Haihua when we acquired Jiahe's copyright library last time, so we don't need to this time!"

Aaron smiled and patted the woman's thigh. "As for mainland China, Huanya's main market will be in mainland China from now on."

"We need a headquarters, either in Beijing or Shanghai. Beijing is the capital, so Haihua Investment will build a new headquarters building for Asia Pacific."

"Don't worry, Haihua has money now, just consider this as an investment in real estate!"

"OK then……"
