The Most Powerful Tycoon Reborn In Xiangjiang

When Henry Clivey and George Roberts hit the second target, their behavior finally attracted the attention of Wall Street.

Now the whole Wall Street is discussing Beihai investment!

"Before Sears Department Store and Morrows Agricultural Machinery, no one knew the name of Beihai Investment, but it was only 20 days. I believe that the entire Wall Street should know Beihai Investment.

They are like pirates from the Caribbean, wantonly plundering wealth that should not belong to them on Wall Street.

But today, the entire Wall Street should remember the name Beihai Investment, because maybe his next target is you"

Here's an excerpt from The Wall Street Journal's full story.

After reading it, Chu Huan frowned, "I didn't expect Wall Street to notice it so quickly!"

Jerry Kohlberg sat there, speaking calmly: "Wall Street has always been very sensitive to this kind of thing."

Chu Huan asked Jerry Kohlberg, "How much money is in the company's account now?"

Jerry Kohlberg: "$90 million!"

That is to say, in the company of Morrows Agricultural Machinery, Beihai invested 20 million US dollars, 4 million US dollars more than Sears.

Seeing that Chu Huan was silent, Jerry Kohlberg continued, "Mr. Chu, the whole Wall Street has noticed us now. If we continue to do this, I believe it will be very troublesome, and several companies such as Goldman Sachs have also paid attention to us." , I’m afraid it won’t work if I try to use their names to deceive people!”

Chu Huan had to admit that what Jerry Kohlberg said made sense.

No one wants to be used as a gun all the time!

90 million U.S. dollars, the profit within 20 days is 36 million U.S. dollars, deducting the 5% commission to Jerry Kohlberg and the three, it is 34.2 million U.S. dollars.

Last time, Chu Huan deducted 30% of the tax in the Japanese Yen War, but this time there was more funds, plus Chu Huan’s activity funds for Express, a total of 15% of the profit tax and the commission of Express were deducted.

In other words, in the two sniper battles, Chu Huan got 28.8 million US dollars!

According to the current exchange rate of 1 US dollar to 5.7 Hong Kong dollars, the 82.8 million US dollars in Chu Huan's hands is 471.96 million Hong Kong dollars.

After thinking for a while, Chu Huan called Xu Yi.

"Did Cao Yunzu give the exact time for the design draft?"

Xu Yi immediately said: "The first draft will come out in August. If it can be approved, the complete design drawings will be released in early October. If it cannot be approved, then it will have to wait for a month!"

In other words, there are still 4 months from now!

After hanging up the phone, Chu Huan said to Jerry Kohlberg, "Okay, this sniper battle can be suspended for a while!"

Jerry Kohlberg nodded and agreed with Chu Huan's decision very much. Now that Beihai Investment has been exposed, if he wants to continue the acquisition, he will definitely be watched by many people, and it is possible to be careless. I was locked up by others!

Stopping now is indeed the most important thing to do.

"If that's the case, then congratulate Mr. Chu for his harvest this time!"

Jerry Kohlberg is ready to leave.

Chu Huan said with a smile: "Jerry, have you seriously considered my previous proposal?"

Jerry Kohlberg was stunned for a moment, thinking of the incident that Chu Huan mentioned when the two sides met for the first time.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Chu, I've been working in someone else's company for decades, and this time I still hope to start my own business!"

Jerry Kohlberg had this idea before, and now that he got the commission from Chu Huan, the idea is naturally stronger.

Seeing that Jerry Kohlberg was so determined, Chu Huan could only settle for the next best thing, and said, "Since Jerry, you still want to start your own business, I think you must be short of funds, right?

I don't know if your company accepts shares? "

Jerry Kohlberg didn't expect Chu Huan to be so persistent. He thought for a while and said, "It would be the best for Mr. Chu to join our company, but it's just about taking up shares."

Jerry Kohlberg has already had a complete idea in his mind about the establishment of a fund company. Originally, 120,000 US dollars was enough. Huan took US$1.85 million here, which was enough for them to set up their own company.

So, if they set up a company, they don't need more capital injection, the existing capital is enough.

But in this cooperation, Jerry Kohlberg also discovered Chu Huan's courage. What's more, although their company does not need funds to start a business, as a fund company, they need a lot of capital to put funds in their company.

This is why Jerry Kohlberg agreed to Chu Huan's joining. He hoped to get the funds from Chu Huan!

"After the company is established, I can put 10 million US dollars in the company, and the company will take care of it for me, as long as my annual income is not less than 5%!"

Since Chu Huan has always wanted to recruit Jerry Kohlberg under his command, he can naturally guess what Jerry Kohlberg is thinking, because he has investigated too carefully.

"As for the company's shares, I only need 20%!"

The 10 million US dollars was given to the company for investment, not Chu Huan's share capital. Now that the three of them have money, the scale of the company they founded is naturally higher than that of another time and space.

In another time and space, they only spent 120,000 US dollars to establish KKR, and this time it will not exceed 300,000 US dollars at most!

A 20% stake is only $60,000.

Moreover, this shareholding is very particular. Chu Huan allocated the remaining 80% of the shares to the three of them. No matter how they allocate the shares, whoever wants to control the company in the future needs to get his own support.

In fact, what Chu Huan thought before was that if Jerry Kohlberg could not join the Jiaku Consulting Company, then he would find a way to recruit Henry Clivey and George Roberts. Chu Huan did the same before, but now Chu Huan There have been some changes in thinking.

The main reason is that Henry Clivey and George Roberts are rebellious. They may drive Jerry Kohlberg out of the company in the future. Naturally, they may also sell Jiaku Consulting Company.

So after weighing the pros and cons, Chu Huan decided to let the three of them continue to toss KKR, and he watched them earn money for himself honestly. Roberts is full-fledged, and when he wants to do something to Jerry Kohlberg, he can play the role of a good guy and buy all his shares in KKR from Jerry Kohlberg.

At that time, Chu Huan can even get the control of KKR!

And all this for just $60,000 now!

Naturally, Jerry Kohlberg couldn't imagine what the company would develop in the future. After thinking about Chu Huan's suggestion, he had no objection.

"Well, since Mr. Chu trusts the three of us so much, we will be partners from now on!"

Chu Huan smiled and shook hands with Jerry Kohlberg.

After seeing off Jerry Kohlberg, Chu Huan came to Vertex Pictures!

"How are things going?"

Kelly knew what Chu Huan was busy with, so when she saw Chu Huan, she asked Chu Huan with concern.

Chu Huan said: "I have decided to stop, too many people are paying attention to Beihai investment now!"

Kelly nodded, and said, "Stopping is the right choice. It will be really troublesome if you are targeted!"

"En!" Chu Huan nodded.

While the two were chatting, some noisy voices came from outside Kelly's office.

"This script is very good. I hope you can read it. I believe that as long as you read it, you will definitely not let him go!"

A male voice with a somewhat unclear New York accent came from outside.

"No need, our company has its own script creation, you can leave now!"

The hopeful voice of the inarticulate man continued, saying: ""Rocky" is really a very good movie script, I was watching the boxing match between Muhammad Ali and Chuck Wipner Afterwards, the creations are very inspirational and very passionate!"

Chu Huan in the office stood up. Kelly saw Chu Huan's movements and asked, "What's wrong?"

Chu Huan said with a smile: "It's very interesting to listen to what this person said, and isn't the company not having any new movie projects now? Why don't you bring his script over and let me have a look. I just watched it on TV two days ago. Boxing match!"

When Kelly heard what Chu Huan said, she didn't think too much about it. She got up and walked out of the office. Through the crack of the door, Chu Huan saw the clerk of Vertex Pictures impatiently pushing a short man.

Although he is not tall, the strength contained in his body is definitely not small. The most important thing is that this person will become one of the best action actors in the world!

This man is naturally Stallone.

And what he holds in his hand is naturally the work "Rocky" that made him famous!

Before this movie, Stallone was not a well-known actor in Hollywood, and even starred in the romantic movie "Italian Nasha".

If the movie "Rocky" hadn't appeared with Chu Huan, it would have been invested and filmed by MGM. The cost was only 1.1 million US dollars, but when it was released in 1976, it won a super high box office of 120 million US dollars in North America!

In one fell swoop established Stallone's status as an action superstar.

Seeing Kelly's room open, the clerk and Stallone of Apex Pictures stopped pushing and shoving, and the clerk said awkwardly: "Chairman, I will let this person leave now!"

After speaking, the clerk wanted to push Stallone away.

However, Stallone dodged deftly, avoided the opponent's pushing and shoving, and took two quick steps to Kelly's side.

"Miss Kelly, please read this script, he is really excellent, and he will definitely bring a lot of rewards to Vertex Pictures!"

Stallone also had no choice. After he wrote the script of "Rocky", he found countless film production companies hoping to get the appreciation of the other party, but they all came to nothing.

Although some production companies have taken a fancy to this script, but the other parties only want the script and not themselves, which makes it unacceptable for Stallone, who is going to rely on this script to make a comeback.

So after rejecting some production companies, now he is almost unable to pay the rent!

Since Kelly knew what Chu Huan meant, she naturally didn't say anything, directly took the script from Stallone, and then said to Stallone: ​​"Come in with me!"

Seeing that Kelly actually accepted his script, the clerk didn't say anything and went about his own business.

Stallone, who followed Kelly into the office, saw Chu Huan sitting there. He knew Kelly because he had seen Kelly in a magazine, but he didn't know Chu Huan.

It's just that when Kelly handed her script to the other party, she immediately felt that this oriental man was not easy in Apex Pictures.

"This is the script you are coming to see!"

Chu Huan didn't watch it immediately, but asked Stallone, "Has your script been registered with the Screenwriters Union?"

There are various unions in Hollywood, and the screenwriters' union naturally exists. Some independent screenwriters, after writing their scripts, will register their scripts with the screenwriters' union, so that they can give their scripts to those producers. When the studio watched it, there was no need to worry about being plagiarized by the other party.

To be honest, although the various unions in North America have a lot to complain about, this is still very commendable.

Stallone's heart warmed up. Although he didn't know who this oriental young man was, judging from what Kelly said to him just now, the other party was the one who was interested in his script, so Stallone nodded and said: "Already registered!"

Chu Huan smiled, and then began to read the script of "Rocky".

As for Rocky's script, Chu Huan naturally didn't really read it. As long as he knew that this movie was Stallone's famous work, Chu Huan would definitely not give up.

So after a brief glance, Chu Huan said to Kelly: "This is a very good script, I think it can be invested!"

Stallone suddenly had a lot of hope in his heart, but thinking of what happened in other production companies, he couldn't help but preach.

"Miss Kelly, this gentleman"

Chu Huan laughed and said, "You can just call me Chu Huan!"

"Mr. Chu, I hope that I can play the leading role in this script!" Stallone immediately expressed his thoughts.

Kelly looked at Stallone, feeling somewhat dissatisfied with Stallone's image.

Seeing Kelly's expression, Stallone's heart sank, is he about to fail again?

"I think it's okay. Since you wrote the script, no one knows better than you how to portray the role of Rocky!"

Chu Huan spoke at this time!

Kelly saw that Chu Huan actually agreed. Although the two did not communicate directly, relying on the relationship between the two of them, Kelly immediately smiled and said.

"I believe in Mr. Chu's vision, but if you want to star in this movie, you must sign an actor contract with Vertex Pictures."

"no problem!"

At this time, Stallone didn't have any hesitation at all, and in fact he didn't have any right to choose.

"Well, I will ask the company to prepare an artist contract for you. After you sign the contract, you can officially start the project!"

Kelly preached.

Stallone was surprised, but also had some doubts, did it go so smoothly?

It went so smoothly that Stallone felt that his previous encounters seemed to be fake.

"Is it really possible?"

Stallone couldn't help asking.

Kelly smiled and said, "Of course, if you want, you can sign the contract in a while!"

Stallone hurriedly said: "Thank you, thank you Miss Kelly."

Kelly just remembered that she didn't seem to ask the other person's name yet, but it seemed impolite to ask at this time.

Forget it, anyway, we will know when we sign the contract.

Since Stallone was in a hurry to sign the contract, Kelly immediately ordered the people in the company to prepare an artist contract for Stallone, as well as a contract on the establishment of the "Rocky" project.

Then someone took Stallone out of Kelly's office.

"Do you really like this movie?" Kelly couldn't help asking Chu Huan after Stallone left.

The reason Kelly chose to sign with Stallone just now was entirely because she got Chu Huan's decision.

Chu Huan said with a smile: "I have a hunch that this Stallone will make a lot of money for the company in the future!"

Kelly smiled and said, "Just like the previous "Jaws" and "Star Wars"?"

Chu Huan nodded and said, "That's right!"

"Forget it, anyway, you are the boss, so you can do whatever you want!" Kelly just saw it on the script, and Stallone marked that the investment in this movie was only 1.1 million US dollars.

Now that Chu Huan is interested, he will invest, and as Chu Huan said before, Vertex Pictures just happens to be short of projects right now!

After the two chatted for a while, they were ready to attend the premiere of "Jaws".

The premiere of "Jaws" was at a theater in Los Angeles.

Although there is no such thing as a midnight show for Hollywood movies, the executives of the company will still choose a premiere theater to observe the audience's reaction on the spot.

After Chu Huan and Kelly got off the car, they happened to meet Spielberg.

"What about Martin?" Kelly asked Spielberg.

Martin Brody starred in Jaws.

Kelly is asking about the creators of "Jaws"!

Today's Hollywood not only has no midnight shows, but also no so-called premieres!

Spielberg said with a smile: "They should have gone to another theater!"

Kelly nodded, ready to enter the theater.

"Miss Kelly, Steven."

Lou Warzerman's voice came from behind.

The three turned their heads, and Lu Wo Zeman came over with his secretary, with a faint smile on his face.

"Mr. Wasserman!"

Although the two parties had some unpleasantness because of the promotion of "Jaws" before, but now that the two parties meet here, they naturally have to maintain a friendly face.

"Who is this?"

After Lu Wo Zeman saw Chu Huan, he was slightly stunned and then returned to normal. He didn't know Chu Huan, but when he saw Chu Huan walking with Kelly and Spielberg, he just asked casually!

Kelly smiled and said, "This is Mr. Chu Huanchu from Xiangjiang Black and White Media!"

Lu Wo Zeman immediately had information about Chu Huan in his mind.

The first thing that popped up was that Chu Huan and Vertex Pictures jointly invested in "Star Wars". This matter is not a secret in Hollywood.

After all, everyone knows that 20th Century Fox really wanted to get rid of the burden of "Star Wars", and Chu Huan and Vertex Pictures appeared at this time.

Sure enough, people are divided into groups!

Thinking of the current "Jaws" and thinking of the "Star Wars" that has not yet started filming, Lu Wo Zeman can't help but think so.

The second concept that pops up is black and white media!

As the first media group in Hong Kong, the news of the establishment of Black and White Media has also been reported in North America. Although there are not many, it is enough for Lu Wo Zeman to remember.

"It turned out to be Mr. Chu!" Lu Wozeman shook hands with Chu Huan and said, "Could it be that Mr. Chu also invested in the movie "Jaws"?"

Chu Huan shook his head and said, "No, I just envy Miss Kelly for getting such a good project!"

Lu Wo Zeman laughed, and said: "I believe that when the movie is over, Mr. Chu will not be envious!"

The expressions of Kelly and Spielberg suddenly changed.

Lu Wo Zeman was unmoved, but smiled and said to Spielberg: "Steven, if you want to return to Universal in the future, we welcome Universal at any time!"

Spielberg said calmly: "Thank you, Mr. Wasserman."

"Mr. Wasserman, in front of me, it's not appropriate to dig people from our company?" Kelly expressed her dissatisfaction!

Lu Wo Zeman did not get entangled with Kelly in this matter, and decisively apologized.

Because Vertex Pictures is still working in Hollywood, it's not suitable for Kelly to fall out with Lu Warzeman, but Chu Huan doesn't care.

"Mr. Wasserman, I remember that Universal is the distributor of "Jaws", right? Since your company is in charge of distributing "Jaws", wouldn't you be optimistic about this movie?"

Lu Wo Zeman's expression was stagnant. It's really not good to say that he is optimistic, but he can't slap himself in the face. He smiled and said: "It was just a joke!"

After speaking, Lu Wo Zeman walked into the theater first.

Chu Huan looked at Kelly and Spielberg who were still a little angry and said with a smile: "Okay, I believe that after this movie is over, Lu Wo Zeman's expression will definitely change drastically!"

What kind of situation can make Lu Wo Zeman's expression change?

Naturally, it was the reaction of the audience!

In fact, it didn't take long for Lou Wozerman's expression to change.

The change in his expression was just like what Chu Huan had said, and it came from the exclamation of the audience.

The movie "Jaws" aroused the emotions of the audience within a few minutes of the opening.

Especially when the great white shark appeared in the back, Lu Wo Zeman was stunned by their exclamation!

"Is it so pretty?"

Lu Wo Zeman is not in the mood to focus on the movie at this time, he is looking at the audience around him from left to right.

He didn't understand why the audience at the scene had a different vision from his own, and from those of Universal's executives?

Such a situation made Lu Wo Zeman a little confused.

During the two-hour "Jaws", Lu Wo Zeman has been paying attention to the audience's reaction.

As the president of Universal, he saw the way the audience was emotionally drawn into the film, so he naturally knew what it meant?

Although it is still not certain that this movie will definitely sell well, one thing is certain, the upper limit of this movie is definitely more than 50 million US dollars at the box office!

Thinking of this, Lu Wo Zeman didn't know what kind of mood to use to describe himself.

It is good that the box office of "Jaws" is higher, after all, Universal can earn more money.

However, Universal could have earned more.

As a result, before this, Universal actually gave up half of the rights and interests in "Jaws" to Vertex Pictures?

Walking out of the cinema, seeing the audience still discussing the plot of "Jaws" with relish, Lu Wo Zeman's mood became even more complicated.

At this time, he was looking for Kelly. Although the movie is already like this and it is impossible to change anything, there are still many interests that can be dug deep for such a movie that has gained so much attention in its premiere.

For example, the sequel development that Hollywood is best at!

As for going to Kelly at this time, it is a very face-slapping behavior. Lu Wo Zeman doesn't care at all, and the interests are the last word!

In another time and space, when Jet Li first entered Hollywood, he was also not favored. As a result, the box office of a movie far exceeded the investment. Looking for jet.

It's just that Lu Wo Zeman still didn't see Kelly after looking around, which made him very disappointed.

So Lu Wo Zeman didn't care that it was already late at night, and immediately drove to Vertex Pictures.

Jaws is Vertex's first film, according to Lou Warzerman, and Kelly will definitely be at the company waiting to see the results of the fan survey.

Like Xiangjiang, when a new movie is released at this time, Hollywood film studios will also arrange staff to go to the theater to ask the audience about the movie's reputation.

Lou Warzerman soon came to Vertex.

There is indeed a light on here, but Kelly is not there!

Such a situation made Lu Wo Zeman very helpless. He asked the staff of Apex Pictures for the phone number of Kelly's home. Told Lew Zeman, just.

"Is this really good?"

Seeing Chu Huan unplug the phone line at home, Kelly asked worriedly.

The two of them had already left the theater before the movie officially ended. Now that they knew the audience's reaction, there was no need to stay there any longer!

It's just that in Kelly's opinion, today is the premiere day of "Jaws". Although she has no way to know the box office of "Jaws" on the first day tonight, she still wants to know the situation of "Jaws".

Chu Huan laughed out loud, "Didn't you see what happened in the movie theater just now?"

Thinking of the audience's reaction in the movie theater just now, Kelly couldn't help but get excited. Although she believed in Chu Huan's vision, Kelly still couldn't help being excited when she actually saw the strong reaction from the audience.

Chu Huan continued, "If you don't pick up the phone, we won't be able to get a good night's sleep tonight!"

I believe that the bosses of the entire Hollywood production company will know about the premiere of "Jaws" tonight.

There should be another chapter, I will continue to code, and I have to solve those things at home by the way, I am really sorry everyone!
