Chapter 198: Gambling

Han Chudong's bonus is very attractive.

During this time, almost all the private investigators in New York were dispatched to find the man who showed only half of his face.

I thought there were no clues, but I didn't think that more than half a month had passed, and someone really swore that they had found K, but they had to take the money first, and then give the details.

The other party is afraid that Han Chudong will repay his debts, and Han Chudong is worried about meeting a liar.

After the negotiation, let the private investigator send him more photos first, make sure that he really found the right person, and then pay to get the so-called personal information.

Very fair way to trade.

More than ten minutes later, the fax machine began to run, and when it was printed, it was taken out to see if it was the "Mr. K" who was sitting opposite Han Chudong and blackmailing him.

The loss of more than two million US dollars before and after also caused some additional damage to the company's reputation and image, and tens of thousands of dollars more is nothing in Han Chudong's eyes, and revenge is more important than this money.

Earning money is to make yourself happy, and have the capital to pursue a better life, and at that time I said that I would double the return, but I couldn't pretend to be nothing after suffering such a big loss.

This is not Han Chudong's character, he immediately asked for the account information and arranged for the accountant to transfer the full amount to the other party.

When the detective checked and found that the money had arrived, he sent some personal information very reputably, and said that there was a chance to continue to cooperate in the future.

Holding the fluttering paper, seeing the name "Kevin Roosevelt" on it, as well as the company address and home address, and even the license plate number was found out, Han Chudong hated it so much that his teeth itched.

As soon as he thought of losing thirty Rolls-Royces, he was angry, and in a blink of an eye, he called the private detective and hired the other party to find out more information, such as whether he had evaded taxes, whether he was raising a junior outside, breaking the law and committing crimes, etc., promising that as long as he dug up the news, he could get a large amount of money.

This private detective was in a good mood, and he agreed without saying a word, and he was in a good mood, and there were not many opportunities to make a lot of money on weekdays.

It's rare to meet a bold employer, and pat your chest to ensure that you will dig it clean......

Kevin Roosevelt yin Han Chudong, Han Chudong will naturally not be stupid enough to show up and make the other party vigilant.

Anyone can do it with a stabbing knife or something.

When I'm alone with Mochizuki Kiko, I'm happy, and I'm scolding and scolding, and I'm determined to take revenge and blood hatred, even if I lose some money, I have to be in a good mood.

That's the first good news of the day.

The second piece of good news came from Hollywood, specifically a deal with Universal Pictures.

I remembered the classic movie "Jaws" directed by Steven Spielberg last time, and then I sent someone to ask and learned that the movie was being filmed and was about to be completed.

With the idea of giving it a try, Han Chudong entrusted Mr. Ishikawa Hayabusa to go to Universal Pictures to help talk about it according to his old business, and wanted to buy out the movie at a high price.

Ishikawa Hayabusa has not yet gone to Yuben, and now he is staying in Rainbow Beauty, learning how to sell face masks, and finding some people who graduated from prestigious American universities, and starting to form a team from now on to prepare for the next expansion of the market.

At that time, he was the head of the business negotiation department of Panasonic Group, and he knew the law and was eloquent.

The cost is relatively large.

The entire production budget of "Jaws" is 7 million US dollars, and there are also some publicity costs, and Ishikawa Hayabusa helped Han Chudong buy out the upcoming film, and the negotiated price is 16 million US dollars.

Production and distribution are done by Universal Pictures, which receives 8 percent of the box office dividends and 15 percent of the overseas box office.

It means that regardless of whether the movie is successful or not, Universal Pictures can earn $9 million first, and then get box office dividends.

There is a precedent for this kind of thing, and today's $9 million profit can already satisfy the decision-makers of Universal Pictures, which is equivalent to completely passing on the risk, and you can directly settle in the pocket, and then expect to make a sum from the dividends.

According to the calculation of 16 million US dollars, deducting distribution costs, publicity costs and other expenses, it means that the box office must be at least more than 50 million US dollars, so that Han Chudong can not lose money.

If he invests too much in publicity, it is likely that even if the box office reaches $60 million, he will not be able to make money, let alone Universal Pictures can take a cut of the dividends.

Can an unknown director who has only directed small-budget movies earn more than $60 million at the box office with a single shark?

Hard.

So when they met the fat sheep who took the initiative to send it to the door, the decision-makers of Universal Pictures were impressed, and they also attached a clause, saying that if Universal Pictures' box office dividends did not reach 500,000 US dollars, they would have to compensate them for another distribution fee, making it clear that they wanted to earn the last coin.

Listening to Ishikawa Hayabusa finish talking about Universal Pictures' requirements in person, Han Chudong couldn't help but sigh that those businessmen were really black-hearted.

Although he is also black-hearted, he will be a little uncomfortable when he encounters this kind of bright pig-killing knife.

However, he still wants to agree to the price offered by Universal Pictures, who let Han Chudong know that this movie is a success.

Of course, you must meet with the director when you have time, don't lose the essence of this movie, and you must watch it first after the editing is finished, maybe it will become popular again.

Before Christmas last year, I took Kiko Mochizuki to the premiere of "Liar", which had grossed more than $500 million worldwide and made a nine-figure profit.

Since there was an opportunity to gamble in front of Han Chudong, he was inclined to give it a try.

is mainly to recognize Steven Spielberg's ability, even if the other party is only twenty-eight years old now, and because the script was written as early as last year, Han Chudong guessed that the content of that movie has not changed much with his arrival, and it still has the potential to explode.

……

There was no rush to nod.

Han Chudong first went to the Bank of America, sat in the office of the branch president, and explained his needs to the other party.

As a wealthy person, there are many things that can be discussed, such as negotiating a VAM agreement with the bank, and trying to borrow money from the bank to complete the transaction by giving dividends.

Finding a comfortable position to sit on the sofa, Han Chudong continued: "Do you understand what I mean? Even if the movie loses money in the end, I will still add the loan interest and repay it to your bank with interest, in case it becomes a big hit after the release, I promise to give you another $1 million in remuneration from the bank, and the loan duration is only about one year, at most one and a half years." ”

"I understand, it's equivalent to you taking a project and coming to our bank for a loan. Mason, your assets are there, of course I want to believe you, but the other money has not passed the review, and you are in a hurry to take out a loan, and I am worried that the risk control department of the head office will not approve it. ”

"What are you afraid of, the money I borrowed will be used to acquire other assets, and it can also be used as collateral when the time comes. Take a good look at my bank statements, if it doesn't work on your side, I'll go to another bank for a loan......"
