"Of course! If you like to eat something, then I'll definitely like it too."
Hawke nodded with a smile.
After finishing their pizza, the two went home.
Christina Hendrix's gratitude towards Hawke was expressed in the swaying of the bed.
170 There's a business deal worth several hundred million that I want to discuss with you.
Hawke glanced at Christina Hendrix, who was standing next to him with a black face, and then made a phone call to Ivanka.
"Hello?".
Ivanka's languid, nasal voice came through the phone.
“It’s me, Hawke.”
"Oh." Ivanka seemed to sober up considerably, but still spoke in that languid, nasal tone, "Did you need something?"
"Yes, it's a business deal worth several hundred million that I want to discuss with you."
Hawke said.
"A business deal worth hundreds of millions?" Ivanka asked playfully. "Are you talking about the legitimate kind, or the shady kind?"
Hawke: "It can be the serious kind, or it can be the unserious kind. I'm just asking if you're coming out or not~ are you coming out?"
"Okay, give me an address, I'll come find you."
Ivanka noticed a hint of impatience in Hawke's tone and quickly said...
Hawke: "Okay, I'll wait for you."
After hanging up the phone, Ivanka went to the dressing room and started looking for pretty clothes to wear. Looking at herself in the full-length mirror, wearing a bra and panties, her perfectly hot figure radiating off, Ivanka smiled smugly.
"Watch how I bewitch that young master today!"
Amanda Hearst is also quite pretty, about the same age as her, but Ivanka can say with certainty that Amanda's figure is definitely not as good as hers.
Located in the Empire State Building in New York, the Starbucks Reserve Roastery spans 23000 square feet. The first floor offers a variety of coffees and baked goods, as well as souvenirs for purchase. The second floor houses a restaurant and bar, the only place in New York where you can enjoy Starbucks brunch and dinner, which requires advance reservations. The third floor is a lounge area where you can enjoy coffee and wine tastings, cook your own meals, or even book the entire space for private events.
Hawke saw Ivanka again on the third floor.
Ivanka wore a pair of stylish and beautiful sunglasses, her long blonde hair was loosely tied back, and her voluminous blonde hair covered her ears on both sides of her face. Her teardrop-shaped earrings swayed gently as she walked.
She wore a white, sheer chiffon batwing top adorned with numerous black and white lines. The material was light and flowing, with a slightly transparent visual effect. The V-neck design accentuated her figure and highlighted her sexiness, effortlessly showcasing Ivanka's graceful neck and collarbone. She paired it with an exquisite and glamorous necklace, further refining her neckline and enhancing her goddess-like aura, creating a striking and eye-catching look that perfectly showcased Ivanka's hot and sexy figure.
The sleeves are designed like angel wings, making her look light and agile, while the waist is designed with a short cut, which can show off her slender and flat waist, making her look stunning.
For her lower body, she paired it with a pair of slim-fit long jeans, dark blue, which matched the color of her clothes perfectly. The jeans had an ideal slimming effect, showing off her perfect waist-to-hip ratio, with smooth and rounded lines that could rival the figure of supermodels. What deserves the most praise is her long, slender legs, which are not only well-proportioned but also thin and straight. The term "leg goddess" is the most appropriate way to describe them. The cut of the jeans is also a highlight, with a slit at each hem, which not only enhances the overall look but also adds to the fashion index, allowing Ivanka to wear a unique and trendy style. Her charming allure has been radiating from her without her even realizing it.
"Ivanka, you look beautiful in this outfit."
Hawke smiled and gave Ivanka a tight hug.
As expected of Ivanka, who has gained popularity through her connections, she is incredibly resilient.
"Do I look good in this outfit?"
Ivanka raised an eyebrow slightly.
There is an ancient Chinese poem that says, "Clouds remind me of clothes, and so does one's appearance." When people dress beautifully, they become even more beautiful.
Hawke chuckled and ordered Ivanka a coffee.
Sipping her steaming hot coffee, Ivanka asked:
"Alright, now you can tell me why you've come to me, right? Some shady business deal worth hundreds of millions?"
Hawke: "No, I've invited you here for a legitimate business deal worth several hundred million."

"So what do you want to do?" Ivanka blinked. "I'm broke anyway. I still need to ask you for Series B funding for Ivanka Jewelry! By the way, what about the Series B funding you promised for Ivanka Jewelry? Why hasn't there been any news?"
Hawke smiled and said, "I've already given the instructions. I've probably been too busy lately and it's gotten a bit delayed. I'll go back and urge them on you."
Lane Capital has been incredibly busy shorting Stark Industries lately, and it seems Jordan has completely forgotten about raising funds for Ivanka Trump.
But that's not important. Just go back and tell Jordan to send a manager to have a brief talk with Ivanka Jewelry. A mere tens of millions of dollars is nothing to Ryan Capital.
..... ..... ...
"Let's get down to business." Hawke's expression turned serious. "I recently made a quick buck, about $10 billion, and I don't know where to spend it right now, so I'm thinking of buying a few film companies in Hollywood to play around with. I've already finalized a few targets and am ready to acquire them, but now there's a problem in front of me."
"what?"
Ivanka's heart pounded, sensing something was about to happen.
Hawke smiled slightly: "I'm missing someone trustworthy and capable of helping manage this film company."
Hawke's current idea is to emulate the Lane Financial Group and independently establish a Lane Media Group, which would include Lane Technology's Twitter, Facebook and other internet platforms, Lane Entertainment's film and television production and fashion divisions, and then spin off Big Machine Music from Lane Entertainment to form Lane Music Company.
The acquisition of the film company was for the purpose of forming Ryan Film Company.
In this way, the new Lane Media Group will include Lane Technology, with Stella Kardashian as CEO; Lane Entertainment, with Kourtney Kardashian as CEO; Lane Films, with Ivanka Trump as CEO; and Lane Music, to be determined.
As for the newly formed Ryan Media Group, CEO Hawke plans to hand over the reins to Stella, and then let Vice President Nalan take over as CEO of Ryan Technology Company.
171 My girlfriend was cheated on by her best friend.
Acquiring film companies like Summit Entertainment shouldn't be a problem, but finding suitable managers is another issue. It's impossible for Hawke to maintain the original company management structure after acquiring film companies; that would be suicidal!
Besides being ripped off by paying double the acquisition price, Sony also faced challenges in acquiring Columbia. To prevent resistance from Americans, they dared not send their own people to manage the company, but instead used their own Hollywood insiders, Peter Cooper and his partner Jon Peters, to manage Columbia.
Cooper and Peters are the kind of playboys that are everywhere in Hollywood. They are very particular about their lifestyle and office decor. For five years, Cooper and Peters spent hundreds of millions of dollars on eating, drinking and having fun, but they did not produce a single profitable movie for Columbia. It can be said that Sony was really being treated like a fat pig by the whole of Hollywood, and everyone wanted to get a taste of its blood.
"553"
With Sony's bloody example as a case in point, can Hawke still confidently acquire film companies and allow them to continue holding executive positions while remaining inactive?
Christina Hendrix is a star, so she certainly wouldn't be able to manage a film company. Hawke thought about it and realized that Ivanka seemed to be the most suitable candidate.
"You want me to help you manage this film company?"
Ivanka quickly took a sip of coffee to calm herself down.
“Is that not acceptable?” Hawke said, “You won’t achieve anything significant as the vice president of your family business. Sooner or later, it will become your brother’s business. All your hard work will just be a waste of time and effort. And your Ivanka Jewelry business is indeed just a small-scale operation. Are you content to continue to waste your talents like this and not pursue greater opportunities for advancement?”
"So your film company must have a bright future?"
Ivanka countered with a question.
“A Hollywood film company worth a billion dollars isn’t weak, is it? And do you think I’m content with just that? Of course not! We need to increase investment in the company! What future can a film company have? Of course, we need to integrate the film company into a media conglomerate.” Hawke said, “I want to build a pan-entertainment conglomerate…”
Hawke then explained the concept of a pan-entertainment group to Ivanka:
"Film company + streaming platform + internet social media + game company... Just imagine how huge this pan-entertainment conglomerate would be! It would be the world's number one media company, much larger than ABC and Disney!"
"And movies are the most important part of this pan-entertainment group. You will be the CEO of Ryan Pictures from now on."
Ivanka's breathing quickened.
In fact, let alone a pan-entertainment group with a market value of at least hundreds of billions of dollars, just a film company with a market value of 10 billion dollars was enough to make her heart flutter.
Keep in mind that the real estate company they manage only has assets of around $20 billion. Hawke's film company is already half the size of her family business. Isn't that enough to tempt Ivanka?
The reason Ivanka has been trying to reconcile with Hawke is simply because she wants a platform where she can showcase her abilities more.
Now, an opportunity to take charge of a film company worth a billion dollars in its initial stages is presented to her, how could she not be excited?
Ivanka had finished her coffee, bit her lip, and remained silent for a while before opening her mouth.
"Ha, isn't this Hawke and Ivanka? What a coincidence that you're here too!"
A sudden voice interrupted Ivanka's words.
Hawke and Ivanka both turned their heads to look.
The visitor was Paris Hilton, Hawke's golf buddy and Ivanka's best friend.
Paris said with a smile:
"The coffee here is good; I often come here to buy it. Are you here for coffee too?"
“Yes,” Hawke chuckled and said, “I also want to talk to Ivanka about something.”
"Talking about business?" Paris asked with a gossipy expression, "You're not talking about romance, are you?"
"Why, can't it?"
Ivanka smiled as she looked at Paris:
"Both of us are single, so is it wrong for us to go on a date?"
“Of course,” Paris said. “I just didn’t expect you to have such good taste, Ivanka!” She casually put her arm around Hawke’s shoulder and said, “Hawk is a great boyfriend, great in every way.”
Ivanka: "..."
Her smile froze on her face.
He stared at Hawke in disbelief: You can't even handle someone like Paris...
Yes, Paris being rushed to Osborne's private hospital overnight wasn't a secret to superiors, but it was top secret to subordinates, given that it involved Hawke's own family. Ordinary people simply couldn't possibly know, and Ivanka's family, with a mere two or three billion dollars in background, certainly couldn't possibly know about such a thing...
“Oh, Ivanka, don’t get me wrong. Hawke and I were together a long time ago, long before those videos came out.”
Paris noticed Ivanka's expression and quickly explained.
Ivanka's face darkened.
She realized that Paris wasn't there to say hello, but to sow discord in her life, because of Hawke?
fuck!
With your current tarnished reputation, do you really think you still have a chance to marry into the Ryan family?
And you dare come here to bother me!
This fake friendship is a bit too realistic, isn't it?
Paris did it on purpose. She had no hatred for Ivanka. On the contrary, before today, she and Ivanka were superficially good friends. The reason for this was... jealousy!
Yes, she was jealous of Ivanka, and a fire in her heart drove her to come forward, forgetting her past relationship with Ivanka, and did all this.
