Chapter 0062 Spending money is like running water
"Ok, wait for me downstairs, soon. Lawrence closed the door in embarrassment.
The banquet downstairs had just ended, and Mahathir was waiting on the sofa, when he saw Li Zitao appear, he hurriedly got up, "BOSS." ”
"Sit down and say. Sitting on the sofa, Li Zitao lowered his head and thought as he said: "The headquarters of the Oscars is set up on the slopes of Beverly Mountain, isn't there a lot of celebrities living there?
In order for Bergman to build a mountain house on it, the Foundation's headquarters was set up at the foot of the mountain, and the investment in public facilities was slowed down as much as possible, waiting for the first Oscar ......"
In all fairness, the establishment of the Oscar this time did not help Li Zitao substantially, it was completely his impulse.
Hollywood's rights are still in the hands of large corporations, and if you want the Oscars to truly live up to their name, it is indispensable to woo the giants.
If the other party does not submit the work to the Oscar jury, then the Oscar can only select those bad films and small productions for awards.
Or on the day of the awards ceremony, the nominees are collectively absent, and at that time what value does the Academy Awards have except to become a laughing stock?
So Li Zitao asked Mahathir to stay and have a good deal with the Hollywood giants to see what they would ask.
But he wasn't entirely unrewarded, getting to know Elan, California Governor Fulnce, Los Angeles Mayor Carl, and Republican Senator Laura, all of whom were valuable connections.
There is also the pearl of Bergman, and the performance and transformation of the Ingrid makes him very satisfied.
Of course, for this reason, he has to pay a huge investment of 20 million US dollars, and 10 million will be injected into the Starlight Foundation, as the manufacturing gold for the future Academy Award trophy and the permanent maintenance fund for the Avenue of Fame, while taking into account the daily expenses of the Academy Awards.
The $5 million will be used to pave the Avenue of Stars, and the remaining $5 million will be used for the repair of public facilities, which will be prioritized for road repairs under Mahathir's supervision.
If you want to get rich, you must first build roads, which is the strategic principle of the development of the Red Doctrine.
The priority is naturally the road traffic leading to the Avenue of Stars, who let these two investments come from him!
However, the huge amount of 5 million US dollars is enough to repair all the roads in Hollywood, and two more tram lines will be built, but in a different order.
"BOSS, we had initial contact with Paramount, and the other party meant that they wanted to occupy a certain seat on the jury. Mahathir leaned over and whispered.
"It can be promised that as long as it does not involve the foundation, other parties can make appropriate compromises, and the containment of Oscar must be perfected. ”
Li Zitao wants to use the foundation to firmly tie the source of Oscar's funds, and if he wants the funds, he will go to the foundation to solve it.
Self-financing and external funding?
Sorry, NO!
"I'll be careful, about the Bowl Theater, the offer we got was 600,000 US dollars, led by the actors' union, and the other party needed 50,000 US dollars. ”
"Give it to him. Li Zitao said very generously: "Find someone else to come up with a design drawing, and I will ask Ben to speed up the acquisition of Bokede." ”
The construction of the Oscar Star Theater could not afford to delay time, and Li Zitao wanted the first Oscar Awards ceremony to be held in the Oscar Star Theater named after it.
There are less than 70 days left before the award day, and Li Zitao is not sure if he can catch up, so he can only speed up every link, and there is no time to bargain for 50,000 US dollars.
He needs the public opinion about the Academy Awards to stay hot and unabated, while the anticipation and curiosity of the crowd are aroused to the limit.
With the most shocking, luxurious, and unimaginable effect, it can be detonated with a bang, so as to create enough sensation.
If it was because of the difference in the price of tens of thousands of US dollars, Oscar would have become a chicken rib and a laughing stock, and Li Zitao would really cry and faint in the toilet at that time.
When the Oscars' influence spreads across the United States, as long as one-third of the people pay attention to this feast, Li Zitao will let the honorable Mr. Meyer know who is the king of Hollywood.
"Charlie, can I go?" Lawrence, who was overindulgent, came down, holding a hot girl in each hand, and it didn't look like he was going to separate.
"Come here. Li Zitao hooked his hand with a gloomy face.
"Hey, man, how are my chicks, they're so hot!" Lawrence ran over with a wicked smile and came to Li Zitao's side to show off.
"Let them leave, or you can stay here and play slowly!" Li Zitao didn't mind him playing with women, but everything had to be measured.
Lawrence is obviously overindulgent now, and he wants to leave with these two chicks, is he really planning to die on X?
"Oh~~ No, Charlie, you can't deprive me of my right to enjoy life. Lawrence hugged his head and cried, looking like he couldn't survive.
Li Zitao stood up and left directly, not bothering to pay attention to him at all, as soon as the car drove in front of him from the side, Lawrence chased after him in a hurry.
"Man, you're so ruthless. Sitting in the car, looking at the two hot girls with tears in their eyes and reluctant to give up, Lawrence complained bitterly.
"If you dare to talk nonsense, just run back to Chicago by yourself!" Hearing Li Zitao say this, Lawrence closed his mouth on the spot, leaned his head on the back of the chair, and fell asleep.
When they opened their eyes again, the two of them had already arrived at the airport, "Look at how you look now, I'm sure your father would be happy to see it, do you want me to call Uncle Elan?"
got on the plane, Li Zitao smiled at Lawrence, who yawned, but that smile was full of threat no matter how you looked at it.
"Charlie, my brother, you can't do this to me, I promise you'll pay attention to it later. Lawrence confessed on the spot that he must not let his father know about it.
Otherwise, he can imagine that the interest he is carrying will be multiplied several times in an instant, and he will be escorted home, and he will not think about coming out again in the past two years.
"Then take care of your body and your lustful brain. Li Zitao said angrily.
If you can't be physically strong, do you think you are me?
"This kind of good thing for one emperor and two queens, I have never tried this perpetual motion machine, how dare you sing songs every night?" Li Zitao is called envy, jealousy and hatred in his heart!
It was not early to return to Chicago, Li Zitao still rushed to the club, and several documents were waiting for him to sign!
Lawrence did not leave with him this time, but said that he would go home for a while and discuss with his father when he would be able to divide the family property.
"Boss, you're finally back. "Seeing Li Zitao's figure, he was full of tears, and he wanted to wear it!
"Ahem, I'm going to Hollywood to do business. Li Zitao sat down righteously.
He really did a serious job and got 40% of Disney's shares, isn't this a serious thing?
"I believe in your wickedness. Ben rolled his eyes in his heart, put a pile of papers on the table, patted his ass and left the sentence 'Joanna stewed soup and waited for me,' and left without looking back.
...... "I'm afraid I'm a fake boss, right?"
With deep doubts about life, Li Zitao weakly opened the document and began to sweep through the lines at a glance.
"Hey, is there a result in Theater 13?"
"Hey, Building 400 has also been acquired?"
"Huh~~" What the hell am I missing???
The purchase price of Theatre 13 is 910,000 and the price of Building 400 is 19.8 million, which is a world of difference.
But fortunately, Building 400 can be put into use directly, and the construction cost savings are more than this price.
The document details that the construction cost of Building 400 is as high as 32 million, and even if the depreciation fee is deducted, the price of 19.8 million is also earned.
Exelon's restructuring cost slightly more than budgeted, $37 million, mainly from the Federal Signals Corporation of America and the Northern Indiana Service Company, which contained $7.6 million in external debt.
At present, Ace is in debt, waiting to get rid of the burden of the Chicago Grand Theater and get a lot of money to regain his vitality.
Regarding the future development of Ace, the attached page has a detailed introduction.
Vigorously develop the energy industry, including hydropower, gas, coal, wind power generation, expand the market, and invest heavily in the company's R&D department, hoping to reduce consumption and costs.
A new independent department, the Ministry of Public Service, was created to be responsible for the operation and supervision of public transport under its name, including rail, water and land transport.
"Land, sea and air, now it's empty. After signing his name on several documents, Li Zitao picked up one document again.
Morenci Open Pit Copper Mine, Bagdad Open Pit Copper-Molybdenum Mine, Sierrita Open Pit Copper Mine, Safford Open Pit Copper Mine, Miami Open Pit Copper Mine in Arizona.
Li Zitao, who was a little dumbfounded by a series of mine names, only reacted for a long time that this was a copper mine target waiting to be acquired, of which the Morenci open-pit copper mine has the highest annual output value of about 100,000 tons, and Bagdad can reach an annual output of 80,000 tons.
The other three mines only have an annual output value of 1~50,000 tons, but this is limited by the current backward technology, and their mineral deposits are enough to provide an annual output of 100,000 tons for 15 years.
Pepsi's acquisition has long been over, and the documents have been pressed for half a month, the corners of Li Zitao's mouth are slightly upturned, and he signs his name with a big stroke of the pen.
"Pepsi, it's mine now. Li Zitao happily signed his name.
After founding (plagiarizing) McDonald's and Subway, and acquiring 40% of Disney's shares, Li Zitao has been able to treat these future giants calmly.
The last document, the acquisition of the Chicago Grand Theatre, 50 million, 'Boom. ’
Hollywood sold 20 million, acquired Building 400 for 19.8 million, and Theater 13 for 910,000.
The 50 million of the Chicago Grand Theater, and the donation of 10 million, less than 20 days, 100 million and 710 million personal expenses, what a madness!
"The remaining 220 million, the acquisition of copper and gold mines, the construction of the Blue and White Building, and the opening of the Los Angeles branch, it seems that there is still no end to it!" Li Zitao said that he was worried.
"Enclosure of land, buying buildings, buying buildings one by one, Lao Tzu also has to try the feeling of nouveau riche. Li Zitao decided to speed up the plan and buy real estate in several important cities and the west.
Hollywood Beverly Hills is also going to build a few more estates, and sooner or later there will be people living in them.
After trying the taste of Ingrid, Li Zitao is no longer the good baby and goddess who only understands YY, and it is better for him to develop it himself.
