Upon receiving the call from Page Pictures, Amy Adams immediately expressed her gratitude repeatedly over the phone.
After the phone call ended, Amy Adams returned to the classroom, preparing to continue her lesson.
"Amy, you're still coming back for class?" the teacher asked.
"Uh?" Amy was puzzled.
The teacher immediately said, "Your primary task right now isn't attending class, but seizing this opportunity. You should know that not everyone gets a chance to audition for a Page Pictures movie; you should be doing more preparation now."
"Yes, teacher."
Amy Adams agreed and intended to leave the classroom.
"Wait!"
However, the teacher stopped her again and took out a notebook from his briefcase, handing it to her.
"Teacher, what is this?"
The teacher smiled and said, "This is a record of some experiences and precautions for auditions. Although I haven't played any major roles in Hollywood, I think some of my experiences should be able to help you more or less."
Hearing this, moved by the gesture, Amy bowed deeply to the consistently strict teacher.
For a moment, all the students in the classroom watched Amy Adams leave with eyes full of envy, and some were even jealous.
Why wasn't that person me? Why her?
Why don't I have such good luck?!
Page Pictures.
chief assistant Alexander walked into Kyle's office.
"Something the matter?" Kyle, who was working with his head down, looked up.
Alexander nodded and said, "Indeed. Just now, that girl named Amy Adams called and said she wanted to treat you to dinner to thank you for giving her this opportunity."
At this moment, Alexander's face was full of amusement.
"You rascal, you actually dare to tease me," Kyle said grumpily.
"Oh?"
Alexander feigned surprise and said, "Well, since the boss isn't interested, I'll just turn her down for you."
After saying that, he prepared to walk away.
"Come back, you damn fellow!" Kyle shouted.
Alexander stopped immediately, suppressing a smile on his face.
"Since she invited me so sincerely, it wouldn't be right for me to refuse directly. After all, I am a helpful young man. Yes, that's it," Kyle said with great sincerity.
"Yes, boss!"
Alexander laughed loudly and gave Kyle a half-baked military salute... That evening.
In a high-end restaurant in downtown Los Angeles, Amy Adams invited Kyle to share dinner.
"Eh?"
"Isn't this Mr. Page?!"
Just as Kyle was walking into the restaurant, he was suddenly stopped by a middle-aged man.
Kyle surprisingly recognized this middle-aged man.
—William M. Holt!
Male, 46 years old. He works for Intel and is a veteran employee, having joined in 1974. He has held various positions and currently serves as the vice general manager of Intel's Technology and Manufacturing Group. His position is considered one of the senior executives.
Of course, Kyle knew more than just that.
In 2006, Holt would be promoted to the position of senior vice president of Intel.
In 2013, he would be promoted again to executive vice president, becoming one of the few top figures in Intel's management.
"Hi, Mr. Holt, it's a pleasure to see you again." Kyle shook hands with him.
It wasn't the first time the two had met; Kyle had had several friendly encounters with Holt at various internet summits held in Silicon Valley.
After some pleasantries.
"Mr. Holt, I must congratulate you, and congratulate Intel! I saw the recent news—Goodfellas, that's Bluetooth technology!" Kyle's tone was filled with no lack of envy.
Hearing this, Holt smiled and waved his hand. "The news is exaggerated; it's too much hyperbole."
Kyle said firmly, "I don't think it's exaggerated at all. Bluetooth is a vastly undervalued technology. I believe it has a great future. If I weren't lacking in strength, I would definitely want to get involved."
It wasn't an exaggeration at all!
Man, that was Bluetooth technology!
Not long ago, Ericsson of Sweden announced to the public that they had overcome short-range wireless transmission and wireless link technology.
And, using the nickname of the 10th-century Viking King of Denmark, Harald, they defined this technology as—Bluetooth.
(The term "Bluetooth" came from his love of eating blueberries, which often stained his teeth blue, earning him the nickname "Bluetooth." At that time, blueberries were considered unsuitable for consumption due to their strange color, so this king, who loved trying new things, also became a symbol of innovation and bravery in experimentation.)
Recently, Ericsson invited industry leaders like IBM, Intel, Nokia, and Toshiba to establish the Bluetooth Special Interest Group to formulate Bluetooth technology standards.
This was definitely a highly promising monopoly technology.
"Mr. Holt, you're being too modest!"
Kyle smiled and said, "Bluetooth technology has quite extensive prospects in the future—in mobile phones, personal computers, including cars, information appliances, aviation, consumer electronics, and military fields. Those are all its prospects!"
To put it bluntly, the market generated by Bluetooth technology was worth trillions of dollars!
Its industrial value was not inferior at all to the later WiFi technology!
"Haha!"
Holt chuckled awkwardly. "It seems I really can't hide anything from Mr. Page."
Regarding Bluetooth technology, Kyle naturally wanted a piece of the pie.
It would be the same for anyone; who wouldn't be tempted by a trillion-dollar market?
Unfortunately, there was no way!
The companies involved in setting the industry standards—Ericsson, IBM, Intel, Nokia, and Toshiba—which one of them wasn't an industry leader with a market value of tens of billions?
Kyle had money, yes, but compared to those big shots, his influence was still far off.
"Sigh~~"
Kyle sighed, "I have no chance to participate in this great plan!"
"Not necessarily."
At this moment, Holt suddenly spoke up.
Hearing this, Kyle's eyes instantly lit up.
Through Holt's few words, Kyle realized that he really did have a chance to share in the Bluetooth dividends.
The five companies—Ericsson, IBM, Intel, Nokia, and Toshiba—formulated the Bluetooth industry standard, and to promote this technology and standard, they undoubtedly needed a large amount of capital.
Therefore, the alliance they jointly formed was conducting a private placement to raise $30 billion in promotional funds.
Companies and individuals participating in the fundraising would enjoy dividends from Bluetooth technology profits for a period of 10 years.
Would Kyle participate?
Of course!
This was a rare opportunity, one that many people would fight tooth and nail to be a part of!
As long as it was a profitable business, Kyle was interested.
The two chatted for a while longer and then parted ways.
"Good evening, Mr. Page."
"You look very beautiful tonight, Miss Adams."
Kyle met with Amy Adams inside the restaurant.
