After discussing important issues, Devin Morgan sorted out a few scripts, and then reached out to John for money.

If you don't have the money to make the script, you can't turn it into a movie, even if you hire Spielberg.

"I've done the math for six films, and it's about $360 million to make, and if you add your Independence Day, it's $430 million to make.

The distribution cost of the seven films will be at least $400 million.

To produce and distribute these seven films, at least $830 million is needed.

Add to that the company's operating expenses for a year, and you have to give me a billion dollars. ”

Seven films seem to be a small number, but the investment amount is frighteningly high, this is one billion in 1994, it can be seen that the art of film is really played by rich people, and it is better to be a painter or writer if you don't have money.

So those who say that Hollywood Jiang Lang is talented, does not want to forge ahead, and makes sequel films every day, John thinks that they are a group of people who stand and talk without backache.

Billions of dollars of investment, not to mention the average rich, even the "richest man" has to weigh it, and let alone billions of dollars, you just take 10,000 yuan to speculate in stocks, and you have to choose and choose, and you will never close your eyes and order it randomly! No matter how much money people invest, they naturally have to give priority to sequel films or movies by big directors.

"Daini, how much money do I have now?" Seeing that Devin Morgan was asking him for money, John was ready to take stock of how much money he had now.

When Dani heard John's words, she immediately took out her notebook from her handbag and looked at it.

"Boss! You don't have much money!"

"How is it possible, haven't I been making a lot of money all these years?"

"But you've been spending a lot of money all these years! ”

"You've made a total of $10.03 billion in four years. ”

"yes! where did all this money go?" John certainly wouldn't think that Dani used it, in fact, Dani was much richer than his boss, and although she didn't have a salary, she had a Morgan Bank Infinity Card, which was really unlimited, the kind that could be swiped casually. 10 billion, 100 billion, or 1,000 billion, as long as there is money in Morgan Bank, it can be swiped out.

"I'll tell you. Dani rolled her eyes and read them to John one by one as she had recorded the expenses in her notebook.

"Invested a total of $3.33 billion in shares of Apple and Marvel.

"Forrest Gump" produced and distributed 100 million US dollars.

Acquired South Boorghini Automobili, ICM, and New Line Films for a total of $1.76 billion.

IBM Labs Investment, Bubba Restaurant Investment, Star-Lord Film and Television Investment, and World Cup Peripheral Investment, a total of 1.38 billion US dollars.

Purchased film and television rights for $78 million.

Bought a plot of land for $1.2 billion.

Finally, some car purchases, donations, and living expenses...... and so on, a total of 290 million US dollars.

In four years, you made a total of $10.03 billion, spent $8.13 billion, and left $1.9 billion, and now you give Aunt Devin another $700 million, and you end up with only $1.2 billion in your account. ”

The seven films plus the new line of film companies have a total operating cost of $1 billion, but Ariana needs to bear $300 million, so John only needs to come up with $700 million.

"Okay!"

After listening to Dani's accounts, John gave up struggling, and he didn't see a single bubble of more than 10 billion dollars, so he spent it like this, so money was the least spent.

"The remaining $1.2 billion was used to buy Porsche. ”

John had always wanted Porsche, and South Boghhini wasn't what he wanted at all.

It doesn't matter if the car is made in a good way, whatever car he wants, he "designs" it himself, and let GM produce it, and there is no need to buy a car company that doesn't make much money at all.

And the reason why he wants a Porsche is because he is going to the Volkswagen Group, which is a piece of fat, how could he let it go!

"Boss, you've spent all your money, but it's not time to go?" said Dani thought John was giving up on himself.

But John is really not giving up on himself, money has to be spent, how to make money without spending money.

"Your boss and I won't be short of money in more than 5 months, are you still afraid that you won't have money by then?

Gone are the days when we saved money!

Believe me, in the future, your headache is not how to save and earn money, but how to spend the money in your hand. ”

"Ugh!"

When Dani heard John's words, she suddenly remembered that in more than five months, it was 1995, John's assessment would be over, and John had already reached the target of the $2 billion task, so New Year's Day was when John changed from a "quasi-heir" to an heir.

And once John becomes the heir, then his rights will return, and there will really be no shortage of money at that time.

"But boss, aren't you not interested in sports cars? Why do you suddenly want Porsche?" John never drove a sports car, and he was not interested in buying sports cars, and now he suddenly wanted a Porsche, which made Dani very confused.

"I'm not interested in sports cars, but I'm interested in Porsche's stake in the Volkswagen Group. Porsche AG owns 18 percent of the Volkswagen Group, and John is interested in that.

"John, do you want to buy Volkswagen?" Davin Morgan on the side interjected in surprise.

"That's right!"

"This can't be a boss, we can't buy the Volkswagen Group, which is protected by the Volkswagen Law. Dani exclaimed.

Of course, there is a basis for her statement, and at the end of World War II, the West German government enacted a set of "Volkswagen Law" specifically for the Volkswagen group in order to protect it from being eaten by other countries.

There is a special provision in the bill that when holding less than 20% of the shares of the Volkswagen Group, the voting rights are calculated according to the proportion of shareholdings, but if the shares exceed 20%, the voting rights will not be increased, unless the shares are held 80%.

The meaning of this bill is that if you want to take a controlling stake in the Volkswagen Group, you must own more than 80% of the shares.

It is impossible to obtain 80% of the shares of the Volkswagen Group, because the German government holds 20.1% of the shares of the Volkswagen Group, which means that even if you buy all the shares of the Volkswagen Group on the market, it is only 79.9%, and if you want to control the Volkswagen Group, you must buy the shares in the hands of the German government.

Germany is a federal country, and the 20.1% of the shares belong to all Germans, so if you want to, you have to vote for all Germans, and this difficulty factor is not ordinary.

"But the matter is man-made, and the Volkswagen Group is protected by the Volkswagen Law, so find a way to abolish the Volkswagen Law. ”

Once the Volkswagen Act is repealed, the shares in the hands of the German government will be useless, and John will only need to hold 75% of the shares to control the Volkswagen Group.

"Is there any way to repeal the Popular Law?" John asked, looking at Dani, in fact, he had a way in his heart, he deliberately tested Dani.

"Give me a few days to look into it. Dani frowned slightly, she had never considered buying the Volkswagen Group, so naturally she would not delve into this aspect of the problem, and now that John asked her, she naturally had to study it carefully before she could come up with a solution.

"Okay, we have a lot of time, you can study slowly, but first buy Porsche for me, and then let Blackstone, Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, these companies quietly buy shares of Volkswagen Group for me, and I must receive 75% of the shares of Volkswagen Group within five years. ”

"Okay boss, I'll arrange it. ”
