Chapter 13: Getting on the Right Track (Favorites!Recommendations!)

In the office of Shahai Entertainment, bursts of laughter rang out, and the dark clouds that pressed on the head of this small production company seemed to have completely dispersed.

"I should have come with you to Abu Dhabi!"

After listening to Robert Lee's description, George Clint sighed: "This experience is simply legendary! ”

Robert Lee nodded: "yes, I still can't believe it, it's like a dream." ”

Mary smiled and said, "I haven't had a good night's sleep since the fundraiser ended. ”

George Clint took a sip of his glass and said, "If I can pull in $11 million in investment, I won't be able to sleep well." ”

Mary shook her head: "Robert and I are limited in what we do. ”

"That's true. Robert Lee told the truth: "Of the $11 million, $8.9 million was negotiated by Ronan. ”

George Clint nodded, "We all underestimated Ronan. He sighed: "I started out as a dead horse as a live horse doctor, but I didn't expect Ronan's plan to not only succeed, but also to be so successful. $11 million, how long will it take for Shahai Entertainment to make so much money?"

The other two were silent, they didn't have such thoughts.

Mary whispered, "Ronan has changed. ”

"Hmm. George nodded.

Robert answered, "Ronan was originally a smart man and talented. Now I have put aside my fantasies and impulses and become mature. ”

George Clint suddenly smiled: "The failure of the last project is not necessarily a bad thing, and Shahai Entertainment may usher in a new era." ”

All three laughed at the same time.

A few minutes later, Ronan walked into the company, saw the only three remaining employees talking and laughing, put down the briefcase, and asked, "So happy, what's the matter, share it?"

"What we have seen in Abu Dhabi. Mary replied.

Ronan walked over: "A very beautiful city. ”

"A city that makes people happy. Robert answered: "I'll never forget it in my life." ”

George Clint interjected: "I regret staying in Los Angeles. ”

Ronan pulled a chair over and sat down with the three of them: "George, without your logistical support, we couldn't have succeeded. ”

While they were in Abu Dhabi, some of the media here in North America were always focusing on the Human Eradication Project, and George Clint played an important role.

Mary then changed the subject: "Ronan, you should buy a car." Squeezing the bus every day is too much of a waste of time. ”

Anderson Jr. had a luxury Lincoln that he sold to pay the company's employees, and Ronan came here to either catch Mary's car or squeeze the bus.

"I'll go buy one when I get back. Ronan clapped his palms: "Okay, let's talk about work." ”

The three of them immediately became serious, and before they knew it, they had a feeling of convincing for Ronan.

Ronan said quickly: "During this trip to Abu Dhabi, we have solved the financing problem, at least for three years, and we don't have to worry about insufficient funds." Now, it's time to get the company back on track. ”

Before arranging the work, Ronan first fulfilled his promise: "The success of this financing is inseparable from your support, and I said before that you can get the corresponding rewards for successful financing." ”

Mary, George, and Robert all laughed, looking very happy.

Ronan is well aware that in this mature business society, even those who are loyal to the company will have certain material needs.

Sometimes, saying a thousand things and ten thousand is not as effective as a monetary reward.

Moreover, at the beginning of the program, he promised a reward of one percent per person.

Making an inspiring promise that will definitely be fulfilled, Ronan said directly: "The four of us, each with a prize of $110,000!"

George looked excited: "Lyle has nothing to say now." ”

Ronan knows that Lyle is George's wife and has always had a big opinion about him staying in the Sand Sea for entertainment, George has four children and has a heavy burden on life.

When people reach middle age, many choices are often involuntarily carried by people who carry family burdens, how many dare to play and go on a trip?

Robert said: "Let's create a new situation together!"

Mary didn't speak, and the woman's support for Ronan was unquestionable.

Without the assistance of these four people, Ronan would not have been able to realize the Abu Dhabi financing plan almost perfectly, and the $11 million, of course, would not all be invested in films, and would definitely have to be diverted for other purposes.

In doing so, the three people were completely tied to this thief ship that was abducted and deceived.

After gaining benefits, it is natural to take corresponding risks.

"Next, we got the company back on track. Ronan got to the point: "I also want to officially prepare for the project of "Human Eradication Project". ”

Mary was more cautious: "We accepted the investment from the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, and we need to have an account. ”

Ronan nodded and said, "Robert, you issued a recruitment announcement, and you are responsible for recruiting people for positions that are urgently needed by the company. George, you're responsible for the official launch of the director and behind-the-scenes team for Project Human Eradication. Mary, you're in charge of the overall funding and day-to-day administration, and when the right people are hired, you're in charge of finance. ”

All three of them answered.

Later, Ronan discussed many details with them before returning to the office.

Mary followed Ronan into the office.

Closing the office door, Mary asked, "How much money are you going to invest in the Human Eradication Project?"

Ronan needed Mary's cooperation and said directly: "It won't exceed $2 million, it mainly depends on what level of directors and actors we can invite." He simply said, "I'm going to spend $4 million on filming and repaying the loan." ”

"What about the other funds?" Mary felt that she had overestimated Ronan's conscience.

"The stock market. Ronan said slowly, "I'm ready to invest in the stock market. ”

Mary was surprised and said, "Ronan, this ...... It's crazy!" she reminded: "It's a breach of contract, it's already breaking the law." ”

Ronan shook his head slightly: "The Arabs won't know." The "Human Eradication Project" has a public production budget of $11 million, and the actual cost of Hollywood movies is a secret to the outside world, and even more so to the Arabs. ”

Mary was silent instantly, there is no third-party guarantee, there is no professional supervision, and it is impossible for the Arabs who are far away in the Middle East to control Shahai Entertainment.

In fact, how many Hollywood movies have actually spent as much money as publicly announced, and there are so many of them that the game of left hand to right hand alone is dizzying.

"It doesn't matter if the Arabs find out. Ronan had already made the worst scenario: "International lawsuits are very troublesome, just drag on with them, as long as it drags on for two years, these are no longer a problem." ”

"Equities are too risky. Mary still advised.

Ronan thought for a moment and said, "Is it risky to go to Abu Dhabi this time? I'm not investing impulsively, will it be riskier to invest this money in the film industry than investing in the current stock market? Without enough funds, we can't make Shahai Entertainment bigger. ”

Thinking of the booming stock market, the high stakes of the film industry, and the magical trip to Abu Dhabi, Mary finally nodded slowly: "Okay, I'll cooperate with you." ”

She advises, "It's a good idea to set aside a sum of money for the company's daily expenses." ”

Ronan nodded, "I know." He smiled: "We are about to prepare the Human Removal Plan, and all the company's expenses will be incorporated into the project. ”

"That's a way to do it. Mary had no objection.

Small Hollywood companies that finance independent films often do this kind of thing.

Even, some independent producers who have no products, as long as they have a project under their hands, the expenses of the whole family can be hung up in the crew.

Most of Hollywood's truly regulated and well-established systems are mainstream commercial films, and the independent film industry is not only chaotic in the relationship between men and women, but also chaotic in other aspects.

The phone on Ronan's desk rang, but it was Judith from the bank.

"Mr. Anderson, Shahai Entertainment's mortgage is due in one month, and if it is overdue, it will ......"

Hearing this woman's voice, Ronan frowned slightly, and said directly: "Tomorrow I will go to the bank to deal with the repayment of the loan, so be it." ”

He directly cut off the phone and said to Mary: "You get ready, tomorrow we will go to the bank first, and then go to Merrill Lynch's branch in Los Angeles." ”
