Chapter 148: The Mysterious Private Fund
The days went forward day by day, and in the blink of an eye, more than half a month passed;
The crew of "Resident Evil 2" has begun to officially shoot, and judging from the two short pieces of wool that have been transmitted, the effect is not bad.
It's just that Yang Xiao said that he has never had the experience of shooting "no physical object" shots on a large scale, and he has insufficient confidence in writing about the large number of green screen shots behind;
Yang Zhu said to him indifferently, shooting a green screen shot is like paying public food to his wife, if you fantasize about it in your head, you can enter the state, if you can't do it once or twice, then come a few more times, anyway, don't treat those actors as people, you let them shoot dozens of times with a shot, who dares to BB with you?
In the end, Yang Zhu specially explained that unless it involves religious and folk taboos, he is not allowed to give any special treatment to those foreign actors, even if it is food, all according to the habits of the crew, rice should be served with rice, and tea should be given to tea;
Yang Xiao naturally knew what Yang Zhu meant, and hurriedly patted his chest to promise that he would never allow the crew to suffer from hypochondriasis.
After hanging up the video call, Yang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief like a high school student who passed the mock exam, and then looked at Wan Jing who was painting makeup in the crew, thinking in his heart, should I adjust the taste of the crew's food?
I heard that people are from Shonan, so they should like spicy food.
Well...... Ask the staff to go to the nearby Chinatown to see if there are relatively authentic Hunan or Sichuan restaurants?
As for those gringos, they can't eat spicy?
Whatever, this is a Chinese crew, and spicy eating is a Chinese characteristic!
If you're not used to it, pay for a hamburger yourself!
………………
Compared with "Resident Evil 2", the crew of "The Second Depression" is a boring number of ants - the crew hasn't started work yet.
It's not that Yang Jin doesn't work well here, but the most important thing in this drama is not in the movie itself, but in the PY transaction in advance.
If the prior interest bundling work is not completed, how do you ask the crew to determine the actors? Without actors, how can you start the film?
"This is the investment institution that has been contacted during this period of time and has the intention of cooperation, you see. Lin Xiong sat on the chair and rubbed his brows a little tiredly, during this time he flew around the world with his son and the expert group, which really made his body unbearable.
Yang Zhu picked up the thick catalogue of investment intentions in front of him and flipped through it seriously;
Lin Tu was also tired on the side, and said weakly:
"Yang Dada, is that trick you made really reliable?"
"Since we let people release the VAM agreement, those capital institutions have been tempted, but ...... What if we can't do it?"
The corner of Yang Zhu's mouth picked, the movie "The Second Depression", the amount of investment itself is not much, but in order to attract more local forces of American imperialism to escort future actions, it is extremely necessary to let major capitals get involved.
However, where can the investment share of tens of millions of dollars attract those truly powerful capital institutions?
So, Yang Zhu came up with a bad idea - a box office bet;
The gist of it is that the film will release 67% of the share to attract investors and set up a $100 million capital pool;
Investors need to provide necessary support for film promotion, public opinion, and theaters, and if the box office exceeds $300 million three months after the film's release, all parties will take a share of the box office according to the corresponding proportion;
If the box office does not exceed 300 million US dollars after three months, Huaxia will not take any of it, and will compensate the investors in proportion to its 33% share of the box office, and the 100 million US dollars in the capital pool will also be compensated to major investment institutions.
In this way, where can the major investment institutions still sit still?
It only needs to invest a few million dollars (including publicity and public relations expenses), with dozens of times the income and hundreds of times the income;
No matter whether the movie is profitable or losing, they will make a profit and not lose money, where can this kind of good thing come from?
Suddenly, major capitals have thrown olive branches to this "stupid company" from Huaxia;
Many people laugh at it in private, this company does not hesitate to cost in order to obtain the resources of the American theater chain; do you really think that a single film can open the American film market and then make money from it?
Hehe, the island nation of decades ago is your example!
………………
Before Yang Zhu could reply, Lin Xiong scolded with a black face:
"Lin Tu, why are you still so superficial in your eyes now?"
"It doesn't matter if this movie is earned or accompanied!"
"The important thing is to bring these capable capital parties into the game, so that they can act as our protective umbrella!"
"You know, if we achieve our goals, our biggest gains will come from the stock market,"
"If it works well, tens of billions of dollars in profits, that's right;"
"If I can really achieve my goal, a few hundred million dollars is nothing, and I won't even blink an eye if I put in a few hundred million dollars!"
Lin Tu shrunk his neck and muttered:
"But Dad, you also said that you can't treat everyone else as a fool, I don't believe it, no one in the United States sees anything strange about such a big pie!"
"When the time comes, if people don't work hard, or secretly do some tricks, then we won't be beaten with chickens and eggs, and we won't be able to please both ends?"
Yang Zhu smiled:
"You're right, there are a lot of smart people on the side of the US imperialists, and those in investment institutions are even more sophisticated like monkeys, so if we throw such a big pie, someone must see the problem. ”
"But...... I'm a righteous and bright plan, even if I see a problem, what if I see a problem?"
Lin Tu was a little puzzled, and Yang Zhu patiently explained:
"The national conditions of the US imperialists are different from ours, and the logic of its grassroots economic operation is [free economy], while the political and economic core of the upper level is [oligarchy];"
"You can think of those [oligarchs] as the [gate valves] of our country before the Song Dynasty;"
"What kind of virtue is [Gate Valve], you like Chinese history so much, you should know it, right?"
Lin Tu nodded, of course he knew what kind of cancer the gate valve in ancient China was, "having a home but no country" was the truest portrayal of them.
The smile in Yang Zhu's eyes was even stronger:
"So, let's play like this, from the bright side, from the underlying logic, we are following the American [free economy] principle, and it is tenable in general righteousness;"
"But after all, we have a lot of shady means behind us, and at this time, we need those American capital institutions with eyes and eyes to cover up for us, otherwise there will be big problems;"
"As I just said, the political and economic core of the upper echelons of the United States is the oligarchy, and these guys, for the sake of profit, let him shoot the president of the United States, not to mention helping us cover up the traces. ”
"These investment institutions with various names are actually one of the main blood-sucking chambers of these oligarchic groups;"
"So I care more about whether we can catch a valuable oligarchy than you worry!"
Lin Tu thought about it, but he was still a little uneasy:
"Yang Dada, don't you often say that the decision makers of a large group should at least follow the principle of [Franklin Analysis]?"
"How can they ...... for the sake of a few hundred million dollars"
The so-called "Franklin Analysis" is a kind of profit gain and loss analysis method similar to the balance of heaven, which writes down the benefits and possible harms on the left and right sides respectively, and if there is less gain, give up, and if there is more than loss, do it.
When Yang Zhu heard this, he looked at him with a smile:
"Archimedes said, give me a lever and I can lift the whole earth,"
"Do you really understand what this means?"
Lin Tu was a little embarrassed, and I don't know how to bring up this topic again.
The smile on Yang Zhu's face was very weird:
"As you just said, that's the logic of the decision-makers of large groups;"
"But for those heads of capital institutions, are they really [group decision-makers]?"
"No, they're just the big guys of the oligarchy;"
"Since they are big soldiers, they follow the naked law of the jungle;"
"You know, these investment institutions themselves also have very strict performance indicators;"
"In a word, if the energy source continues to bring profits, then get promoted and raised, and go to the peak of life;"
"If you can't satisfy the appetite above, then I'm sorry, get out of the way in minutes, go to the street to ask for food or XD sell yourself, whatever you want!"
"In this case, a few hundred million dollars of meat is enough for them to temporarily turn into dogs and do for us what we want them to do. ”
"This is the first force point of the Archimedes' lever;"
"When our movie was released, the United States began to mess up;"
"At this time, all kinds of chain reactions have appeared, if the chaos is not strong for the time being, we can pull them together to mix in the stock market short, and give up some of the benefits, so as to increase the weight on the balance on our side;"
"Under the condition that there are enough interests and the situation in the United States is [temporarily controllable], the group behind them, even if they are unhappy, will continue to be entangled with us and eat meat together first;"
"You know, the force point can change at any time, and this is the second [force point] of Archimedes' lever;"
"If, in the end, under all kinds of mutual catalysts, the situation in the United States is completely out of control, it has risen to a dangerous level, at this time, these groups, even if we don't give them a penny, they must help us cover up to the end,"
"Because, under the Franklin analysis benchmark selection, they cannot afford the consequences of this exposure,"
"At this point, do you think Archimedes' lever can make the earth tremble?"
After listening to this, Lin Tu finally understood why Yang Zhu insisted on getting a gambling agreement that seemed to be extremely risky;
Really...... As Yang Dada has always said, kung fu is outside the poem!
………………
After explaining to Lin Tu, it took Yang Zhu a full two hours to finish reading the thick "catalog";
After pondering for a while, he picked it up from the beginning, picked out a few pieces of paper, and handed them to Lin Xiong.
"Uncle Lin, these are a few institutions that I think I can get in touch with, are you in charge?"
Lin Xiong took the four pieces of paper and looked at them carefully, there was nothing wrong with the first three, one was the Mogen Heel, the other was the Paper Brother Group, and the other was the California Group;
But the last one, he was a little confused, this one, it turned out to be a mysterious private fund, there is almost no detailed information, only a statement of intention to subscribe for 20% of the project shares.
Under normal circumstances, Lin Xiong would hardly have looked at this piece of paper, but since Yang Zhu picked it out alone, the meaning in it is worth saying.
"Nephew, this private fund...... What's the point?"
Yang Zhu smiled: "Uncle Lin, I mean, in order to ensure that this bait is attractive enough, we will only choose a total of three companies to inject capital;"
"The first three, the investment institutions under the command of the [Paper Brother Group] are as alternatives, after all, it represents the interests of agricultural capital behind it, and I am afraid that there will not be many places they can use at that time;
"And the last private fund ...... We must let him in, even if his conditions are not good at first, we must not let it go. ”
Lin Xiong was a little uncertain: "Is there anything special about this private fund?"
Then I suddenly remembered something: "Could it be...... This private fund is one of those two [organizations]'s mouthpieces?"
Yang Zhu shook his head: "I'm not sure either;"
"However, when this kind of major capital is rushing up, they still dare to hand us a list, and the information on it is so vague, it is definitely not simple;"
"Uncle, you also know that in the United States, in addition to various secret organizations, some families specializing in politics also have similar mouthparts organizations;"
"Either way, it's far more valuable for our plan than the previous ones;"
"So, my uncle might as well have more contact with this private fund a few more times, and it is best to have a good relationship with him, and to be able to know the background behind him in general;
"Maybe we can rely on this private fund to light the fire a little more!"
Lin Xiong stared at Yang Zhu, always feeling that he knew something, but he was also a person who had been in society for decades, and he knew some secrets If I didn't want to tell them, it was best not to ask;
Since I have decided to believe in Yang Zhu, it is better not to go to the bottom of some things.
nodded at the moment, immediately took out the phone, and arranged the next round of work arrangements.
Yang Zhu touched the piece of paper on the table back, staring at the name of the private equity fund on it in a daze.
An inexplicable smile appeared at the corner of his mouth;
Scold......
Fortunately, I have seen the name of this private equity fund in another world;
Well...... Certainly not positive news.
In that world, on September 11, 2012, the "Benghazi incident" that caused a sensation around the world was behind the hands and tricks of this private equity fund.
I think of the world's ambassador and the burning consulate in Libya, as well as the GRS team members and the surrounding US troops who have not moved for 6 hours;
Yang Zhu smiled even more cheerfully, although he didn't know who the big guy behind this private fund was, but with him joining, it seemed that things might become more interesting......
Lin Tu, who was sitting opposite, stared at Yang Zhu, a little curious;
Yang Dada, what's wrong?
Why is the laughter so lewd, and ...... Lewdness?
Could it be that he has come up with some new tricks to trick people?
Thinking of this, Prince Lin always felt a little cold on his body, and kept silently reciting Ami Tofu in his heart,
Dead friends don't die in the poor way, I just hope that Yang Dada doesn't plan to pit me......
