Dinner was lavish.
Although Amy Adams had only recently arrived in Hollywood, and being from an ordinary family, she didn't have much savings, but to invite Kyle to dinner, she naturally spared no expense.
"Amy, this French dinner is quite expensive. You shouldn't have spent so much," Kyle said, looking at the lavish dinner.
"I'm fine. Mr. Page, I am a small actress, but I do have some savings. Please don't worry, I'm not under any pressure," Amy Adams replied very gracefully.
"That's good," Kyle smiled and nodded.
Amy laughed, "It's absolutely my honor to have dinner with Mr. Page. My friends are so envious."
However... while Amy Adams appeared calm on the surface, she was actually heartbroken inside.
Good heavens!
To invite Kyle to dinner, she had spent a considerable sum, over 2,000 US dollars, which was almost a month's salary for her.
She was very shrewd!
If it were an ordinary person, they would inadvertently reveal the immense cost, but she didn't; she said she had some savings. This was definitely not pretending to be rich, but rather the style of a smart person.
If she had explicitly stated that this dinner cost her nearly a month's salary, then how would Kyle have reacted?
Without a doubt, Amy Adams was not someone to be trifled with!
"Mr. Page, thank you again for giving me the opportunity to be part of the movie 'The Butterfly Effect'," Amy said gratefully.
Kyle laughed, "I only gave you an audition opportunity. Whether you can win a role in 'The Butterfly Effect' is entirely up to you."
Amy: "..."
Seeing her reaction, Kyle immediately added, "Don't misunderstand, I'm not referring to any shady stuff like casting couch or unspoken rules. What will always win you the audition is the actor's compatibility with the role and their acting skills."
Of course, there was also the salary!
Our frugal friend Kyle didn't engage in unspoken rules, but an actor's cost-effectiveness was a primary consideration.
Looking back at Kyle's rise to prominence,
He almost never collaborated with top-tier actors.
Time slowly passed.
Dinner was soon over, and Kyle bid farewell.
The two did not have any further contact that night, um, such as going to a hotel.
"Goodbye, Mr. Page!" Amy saw Kyle off.
Our friend Kyle liked beautiful women, that was true, but it didn't mean he had to sleep with every beautiful woman he met.
"Come on, I'm not a stallion!"
Besides, some things couldn't be rushed. Getting everything at once would be too unromantic...
Burbank Villa.
After hearing about Bluetooth, Kyle has been thinking about it and then an Idea came to his mind , which was to create his own company which will be inspired by a company in his last life - Skype which was founded by Niklas and Janus.
In 2005, eBay acquired it for the astronomical price of 2.6 billion US dollars;
In 2011, Microsoft acquired Skype for 8.5 billion US dollars.
The other company founded by Niklas and Janus, Spotify (Music), also developed strongly.
It is an online music service website that offers ad-supported free streaming services and ad-free subscription services in 35 countries. It can be accessed as a website and also has client software for iPhone, iPod, iPad, Android, BlackBerry, and Windows Phone mobile devices. It can play streaming music or cache songs for offline playback.
Its market prospects were quite promising.
"That means I know about the relevant design content for Skype software. With this, I can register a patent, and whether it's bundled with LinkedIn or Google, it would be a good outcome."
"At the same time, I can also find Niklas and Janus, and form a new company to develop Skype (VoIP)?"
Kyle was tempted.
To be precise, Kyle, who was not picky about anything, was very interested in any venture that could easily make money.
Women?
Heh heh! They didn't bring the same sense of accomplishment as raking in money!
"Bluetooth? Go play somewhere else!"
"I'm not interested anymore!"
In fact, Kyle knew that investing in Bluetooth would definitely be profitable, but its profits could only be described as meager, with the bulk being carved up by giants like Intel and Ericsson.
I'm not playing with you guys anymore, I'll play by myself!
