Chapter 23 The soldiers are divided into two ways
The next day, John flew back to New York to meet up with Dani, while Nancy stayed alone in Hollywood because she had to find a lighting designer, prop designer, and music editor for John from scratch.
After a long flight of several hours, John finally returned to New York, and as soon as he got off the plane from JFK International Airport, he saw Dani, dressed in a black Versace suit, standing next to a Cadillac and smiling at him.
"How long has it been here!" said John, handing her Hermès handbag to Dinie.
"Just here!boss ....... Dani took John's bag and replied.
In order to avoid exposing John's true identity, Dani changed John's name to JK to boss.
John didn't have a problem with this title, anyway, it was a code name when he shouted back and forth.
After the two got into Cadillac, John looked at Dani who was driving the car and said, "Dani, has the loan been handled?"
When Dani heard John's inquiry, she replied while driving: "Deal with the boss! I used the shares of the IBM Group and ICM to take out a mortgage of $400 million at Morgan Bank, and then found an arms salesman in General Dynamics, who was responsible for going to the Soviet Union to purchase arms, and then shipping them to Africa in exchange for diamonds, and finally the profits were all washed through Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, and then deposited in 27 banks in six countries, and finally returned to Morgan Bank, and no one could find out the money. ”
"Uh-huh......!"
John nodded, pleased with the way Dani had handled it.
It may seem complicated, but I have to do it. Because the money is so dirty, it must be bleached layer by layer, otherwise it is easy to be targeted.
Especially John wants to mix in the entertainment industry, this kind of thing must not be exposed, if it is accidentally exposed, the saliva of fans can definitely drown him, and who will watch the movies he makes when the time comes, so he has to be careful.
"What about the arms salesman?" John, in line with the wise words of being careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, asked about Dinny again.
Many times the fortress was breached from the inside, and John naturally understood this truth, so he was not worried about the laundering of money, he was worried about the unreliability of the people who helped him in the arms business.
When Dani heard John's inquiry, she naturally understood John's thoughts: "Boss, don't worry. The arms salesman was personally selected by me from General Dynamics, and I checked his file, it was clean. The salesman's name is Jinx David, a native of San Francisco, USA, the only child in the family, after his parents died in an accidental fire five years ago, he moved from San Francisco to Falls Church City, and then joined the arms sales department of General Dynamics. ”
After Dani finished speaking, her eyes stared straight ahead, in fact, she still had the last sentence "It will be convenient to deal with it later......" did not say.
Ever since she read the Morgan family's Phantoms, she knows that the world is not as clean as it seems, and that the shadow of the sun is full of all kinds of gore and dirt.
After listening to Daini's words, John on the other side looked at Daini meaningfully and said, "Daini, do you think I'm going to get rid of Jinx David in the end!"
"Boss! You're going to keep Jinx David!" Dani wondered about John's decision.
Because in her cognition, in some big families, everything involves the family's confidential matters, or has handled some shady transactions for the family, and the final fate of these handlers is not necessarily good.
To put it mildly, it is called disappearance, and to put it bluntly, it is called disappearance, two statements, the same result, it depends on how the individual understands!
It is precisely for this reason that Dinny chooses a person who has no relatives and has less concern to take care of John's arms business, so that when it comes to the final need to abandon the child, it is also convenient to deal with. But what she didn't expect was that John seemed to want to keep Jinx David.
"Why don't you stay!" John said very reasonably.
"Daini, I don't like to silence his mouth, as long as Jinx is honest and tight-mouthed, let him live! When the Soviet Union is over, let him stay in Africa!"
For John, who has lived in a big family since he was a child, he is naturally very familiar with the way of doing things in the big family, but in his previous life, as an ordinary person, he really can't do such a thing as extinguishing his mouth.
So John sometimes laughs at himself: he is not a pure capitalist.
"Okay! boss!"
Dani was a little surprised by John's decision, but more admired the boss's heart. At the same time, she also felt that her boss was a little different, especially compared to the children of other families.
After talking about the arms, John then assigned the next task to Dinny, which was to find a financier for the movie "Stealing Love".
Cinema is an art, but this art is not writing and drawing on canvas with a paintbrush, nor is it writing with a score in your hand, but requires the investment of real money.
The production cost of the movie "Stealing Love" is $10 million, and John only has more than $7 million in his hand, and there is still a gap of more than $3 million.
So John had to get at least $3 million in advertising sponsorship for the film "Stealing Love" to fill the gap, otherwise his dream of directing would die before it began.
After John's simple arrangement, and in order to save time, he and Dani decided to split up, and Dani was responsible for going to NBC Broadcasting, IBM Group, and General Motors Group to negotiate sponsorship.
John, on the other hand, went to Coca-Cola, Mayer, and Steinway to solicit sponsorship.
The reason why John asked Dani to go to NBC, IBM and General Motors is because these three companies are all Morgan family businesses, and it is not difficult to pull up sponsorship, to put it bluntly, just go and sign the contract.
But John had a request to Dani, that is, the advertising sponsorship fees of the three companies must be signed according to the market price, and he could not use the company's money to curry favor with him because he was the heir of the Morgan family.
John did not do this by pretending to be high, but he knew that some money could be taken and some money could not be touched, and this was a matter of principle.
For example, using IBM Group to reshuffle stocks, this money John took it righteously, but if the president below gave him money in order to curry favor with him, then the money could not be taken. There are things to do and there are things not to do, this is John's code of conduct.
As for John's choice to go to Coca-Cola, Meiya and Steinway, it is because the sponsorship of these three is the most difficult, and if you want to get money out of the pockets of these capitalists, they will never let go without visible benefits.
And John, as the director of "Stealing Love", is the only one who can explain to these three companies the significance of their products appearing in the movie.
