Capítulo 1686: Chapter 1665: Gaining in the East
Gao Yang thought this might be his last night in New York, if nothing went wrong. So even though he was very tired and it was very late, Gao Yang couldn’t go to sleep until after four in the morning.
He went to sleep after four, and was woken up around seven by the sound of a phone call. And of course, it was Jack calling him.
Jack, sounding very apologetic, said: “Sorry to bother you again, but I had to call you early because I know you’re in a hurry, you could leave at any moment. So the moment I got the news, I had to call you. Here’s the thing, Glock has decided to cancel their exclusivity requirement, which means everything stays the same, but you can use any gun you want without any restrictions, anytime, anywhere.”
Gao Yang was surprised. Although his sweet dreams were interrupted, someone was here to give him money, and not a small amount. At this moment, he couldn’t be mad even if he tried.
“So generous? Are you sure it’s not a mistake?”
“Of course not, Glock’s executives made the decision late at night. I have to say, they’re really sincere.”
Gao Yang pondered for a moment, then said: “Alright, I agree, as long as I don’t have to show my face, everything’s fine. And my voice is completely different from usual. It’s like getting a free one million US dollars, worth a trip to Portland.”
Jack chuckled: “No, it’s even better. You don’t have to come to Portland. Did I ever say they were in Portland? Haha, you can sign the contract in New York, and shoot the commercial in New York. That’s right, they’ve prepared everything for you. You just need to call the number I gave you, it’s that simple.”
Gao Yang laughed immediately: “No problem, let’s do it that way.”
“One more thing, before tonight, Jerry and I will come to New York to see you. I can’t let you take a trip to Portland, right? We’ve already booked the tickets. We’ll be boarding the plane soon.”
Gao Yang immediately said: “No problem, I’ll wait for you. I’m glad you’re saving me some time. See you, buddy.”
Yelena looked reluctant and sighed softly, then said in a low voice: “Are you leaving again?”
Gao Yang smiled and said: “No, I’m going out to shoot a commercial and will be back, don’t worry, I’m not leaving today.”
Yelena immediately felt relieved. The time she could spend with Gao Yang was only measured in hours, so being able to spend one more evening together was incredibly precious to her.
Given the importance of the matter, Gao Yang never let himself be lazy, and he naturally felt energized.
Jumping out of bed, Gao Yang smiled and said: “I need to make a phone call, then quickly take care of the matters, so that I can come back early. Darling, you can sleep a little longer and then it’s time for class.”
Yelena shrugged and then said with an expression of helplessness: “Darling, today is Saturday, I don’t have any class.”
Gao Yang was taken aback, then hesitated and said: “If you don’t have class, maybe you could come with me. No, forget it. It’s not safe for you to be with me right now.”
Yelena really wanted to go with Gao Yang, so her expression looked conflicted. Gao Yang said apologetically: “Sorry, I can’t let others know about our relationship right now, even a slight possibility of exposure is not acceptable. So, wait for me at home.”
Yelena sighed and said: “Alright, I’ll wait for you at home. Come back soon.”
Gao Yang made the call to contact the Glock executive who came to New York to find him, and then he immediately left home.
Needless to say, the people at Glock are quite decisive and proactive. In comparison, Gao Yang felt Colt really should go bankrupt. How could they compete with Glock? There’s no comparison.
Gao Yang successfully met with Glock’s executives, and after receiving a warm reception, he quickly got the contract that Glock had already prepared.
After reviewing it carefully and finding nothing wrong, Gao Yang hesitated for a moment before signing his name. Then he raised his head and said to everyone at Glock: “Confidentiality agreement is mutual. I don’t want the public to know my name. I hope you all understand this.”
After confirming and reminding once again, Gao Yang signed his name, and then he received an income of one million US dollars, even after taxes, Glock was indeed generous when it came to payment.
Without any unnecessary words, getting straight to the point, Gao Yang was in a hurry, and the Glock company seemed even more in a hurry. They even prepared the crew to shoot the advertisement. Signing the contract and getting paid, the commercial started immediately.
Strictly speaking, it’s more like a short film, and it seemed to be of a public welfare nature. Of course, even though it didn’t mention selling guns at all, the advertising effect would surely be guaranteed.
“Guns are our companions. In the hands of evil people, guns are evil. In the hands of righteous people, guns are justice. I urge everyone, when you intend to use a gun, please consider whether your purpose is correct. Never use your gun for evil purposes at any time, that’s foolish. However, if you encounter evil happening or your life is threatened, you will wish to have a gun at hand. I am Sharpshooter. Please use guns correctly like me, don’t be evil, and don’t do anything stupid. Thank you.”
Gao Yang, wearing sunglasses, didn’t wear a mask, but he wore a baseball cap, slowly walked all the way reciting the lines he had memorized. He didn’t mention Glock even once in the entire short film, but at the end of the short, Glock’s logo naturally covered the entire screen.
In one go, the entire short film was finished shooting, it only took a few minutes, but to achieve the best effect, Gao Yang shot several more times, changing location and lines each time so that the Glock company could choose the best one to broadcast. Moreover, they could switch scenes after a while. So although the short film was simple to shoot, it was still very tiring.
Finally, near noon, Gao Yang finished all the shooting and declined the invitation to lunch because he just wanted to go back quickly.
Gao Yang came by taxi, so he had to hail a cab when going back. And it was very difficult to catch a taxi at lunchtime. After waiting for a while, and with his stomach already growling, Gao Yang decided to have a quick bite. Not far from him was a hot dog cart, which is almost ubiquitous in New York.
Gao Yang walked over, held up two fingers, and smiled: “Two hot dogs.”
After saying that, Gao Yang just glanced around casually, then after resting his gaze slightly on a homeless man not far from him, he promptly held up four fingers and loudly said: “No, four hot dogs.”
