Chapter 12: A Bright Future

Looking at Mansur next to him, Ronan smiled: "Please speak." ”

The money has not yet arrived, as long as the request is not excessive, it should be down first.

Mansour said slowly: "There should be no praise of Jews and slander of Arabs in the film. ”

Ronan immediately answered: "Rest assured, the Arabs will surely save the Americans." ”

Mansour nodded: "The name of the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority must be prominently displayed in the film. ”

"No problem. Ronan thought for a moment and said, "Like the logo of Shahai Entertainment, it is placed at the front of the film alone." ”

Mansour had seen Hollywood movies and understood what he meant: "Yes. He added: "You have to do everything you can to get this film into theaters, not just on video." ”

"Of course!" Ronan said seriously: "This is my goal, and it is also my father's wish, if you want to expand Shahai Entertainment, large-scale release of theatrical movies is a must." ”

Mansour was quite satisfied, and said: "Finally, the distribution and screening of this film in the Arab world will be left to me. ”

Ronan nodded slightly: "Yes." ”

"Since there is no objection. Once Mansour made his decision, he acted vigorously, "We'll sign this afternoon. ”

For Ronan, of course, the sooner the signing is better, but he controlled the ecstasy and desire in his heart, and said very calmly: "I need lawyer Ibrahim to be present, I am not very proficient in the legal aspect." ”

Of course, Mansour would not object to this formal procedure, saying: "It should be." Then he said to his thin attendant, "Go and get ready." ”

He then had a conversation with Ronan, who was not well-versed in social politics but had some knowledge beyond his time, and who continued to maintain a misogynistic stance with Mansour.

At noon, Mansur also hosted a special banquet for Ronan.

Today, even many European investors, let alone Arabs, are not well aware of Hollywood's third-party guarantee system and the establishment of a separate company for a film with separate financial accounting.

Mansour hadn't mentioned it, and Ronan certainly wouldn't be stupid enough to say it.

Even if the other party understands, Ronan has a way to deal with it, let alone now, many independent films will not use third-party guarantees in ten years.

As a result, Hollywood's independent film scene is generally more chaotic than the mainstream business scene.

The signing ceremony in the afternoon went smoothly, with Ronan signing the three-year investment contract for the Human Eradication Initiative, with the endorsement of the lawyer, on behalf of Shahai Entertainment and Mansour on behalf of the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority.

The Abu Dhabi Investment Authority is responsible for the investment, and Shahai Entertainment is responsible for the preparation and operation of the project, which will return the principal and calculate the box office revenue after three years.

When Ronan returned to the venue, it was almost time for the end of the day, and there was basically no one else in the venue except for Mary and Robert, as well as the ordinary staff provided by the Abu Dhabi side.

"How's that?" said Robert, who led Matthew to a quiet corner of the venue, "How can you go all day?"

Mary also looked at Ronan with concern: "Is it done?"

Ronan exhaled hard, clenched his fists and said, "I officially signed an investment agreement with the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority in the afternoon. ”

Robert couldn't wait to ask, "How much do they invest?"

The excitement and excitement on Ronan's face flashed, and he tried to maintain his composure and said, "Eight million dollars." ”

"How much?" said Mary, subconsciously gouging out her ears, suspecting that she had misheard.

Robert couldn't help but widen his eyes: "$8 million?"

Ronan pointed to the Arab staff in the venue, raised his finger and made a silent gesture, and Robert quickly nodded: "I understand!

Smack-

His excited hands kept shaking, he couldn't grasp the papers in his hands, and fell to the ground.

Mary's breathing became heavy and rapid, and she whispered, "God! God, Ronan, how did you do it! That's 8 million dollars!"

"Alright, two. Ronan was also excited, but he could control it: "Calm down, the money will not arrive until tomorrow morning, we have to stay calm." ”

Robert turned around, facing the corner, and lowered his voice as low as he could: "Ronan, you...... Is this God-possessed?"

Ronan shrugged: "This is Arabia, God is not good." ”

Robert couldn't hold back any longer, laughed, and in order not to laugh out loud to attract the attention of the Arabs, he could only bite the corner of his clothes hard, rubbing his teeth against the fabric, and making a strange sound.

Mary couldn't stand it anymore and said, "I'll go out and take a breath first." ”

She exited the side door of the venue onto a terrace and grabbed the balit railing to make sure it was all true.

At the beginning, she felt that Ronan's self-help was not very reliable, but Shahai Entertainment was about to go bankrupt, so she had to find a way to save herself, after all, she didn't want to see the old Anderson's achievements finally come to naught.

Unexpectedly, Ronan experienced a crushing blow, matured quickly, and did not act rashly, whether it was conducting social market research, contacting the media, or understanding the situation of the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, he did his homework before implementing the plan.

With a lot of preparation and a little bit of luck, their fundraising plans went smoothly.

After the press conference in Los Angeles, when she saw the Arab, she thought it was possible to raise millions of dollars, and what happened in Abu Dhabi, she thought it was possible to raise three or four million dollars.

The result: Ronan alone got an investment of $8 million!

"John, did you see that?"

Before she knew it, two tears rolled down Mary's face: "Ronan grows up and matures, he will be an amazing genius." ”

Mary was the first person to accompany Anderson Sr. to start a business, and she also watched Ronan grow up all the way, which was extremely gratifying at the moment.

After packing up the key materials and handing over the venue to the Arabs to help deal with, Ronan returned to the hotel room with Mary and Robert, who calmed down a lot after a period of buffering.

Since I had to talk about things, I didn't eat out for dinner, so I called Ronan directly to his room.

The Abu Dhabi Investment Authority is really not short of money and is enthusiastic enough to prepare a presidential suite-level luxury suite for Ronan, and take care of all expenses.

Ronan drank half a glass of water and asked, "What is the total amount of intended investment at the venue?"

Mary had just finished the calculations, looked at the data, and said, "$4.5 million." ”

"Not bad. Ronan nodded slightly.

With that $8 million invested up front, that number can't bring much more excitement and excitement.

Robert gradually calmed down and said: "These are just investment intentions, and the amount of money that can be signed in the end will be much less." ”

Ronan pinched his chin and thought for a while: "In this way, after the funds of the investment bureau are in place tomorrow, I will talk to these interested investors, and the investment bureau will invest 8 million US dollars, and it is estimated that the media will report it." ”

Robert understood: "If the media doesn't report it, we can also disclose it appropriately, and such news will definitely not be hidden from someone with a heart." ”

"Yes. Ronan agreed.

"What will be done with this money?" asked Mary with concern, "all for filming?"

Ronan said vaguely, "I'll talk about it when I get back to Los Angeles." ”

Robert answered: "Get the money first, and the rest is easy to say." He changed his voice and suddenly said, "Ronan, why don't we go to India again?"

What is a 1 percent commission? It's so easy to come by, it's much easier than working hard to earn money to support your family.

Ronan is also a little excited, but he can control greed, greed is good, but it should be moderate.

"India is not going for the time being. He shook his finger: "With so much money, maybe the Arabs will keep an eye on us, let's go back to Los Angeles to run the Human Eradication Plan first, and don't make any extraneous things for the time being." ”

Mary reminded, "Don't forget, how much preparation we have made? ”

Robert, who was not a young man either, sighed and said, "You're right. ”

Ronan looked at Robert and Mary, both of whom had decent self-control.

That night, Ronan suffered from insomnia, all of which were after-effects of $8 million.

Lying on the huge mattress, there were countless Franklins floating in front of him, and he felt that all around him were long-legged and fierce beauties.

The next day, the $8 million investment was successfully received, and the Abu Dhabi media also reported the news that the negotiations between Ronan and the prospective investors were quite smooth, and before they left Abu Dhabi, the $4.5 million intended investment actually reached $3 million.

The first step of the plan was successful.

Ronan attended a press conference at the Investment Authority, where he talked about friendship with Arabia and was hailed by the media as an American friend of Abu Dhabi.

He then returned to Los Angeles with an investment of $11 million.

When the plane landed at Los Angeles International Airport, Ronan was truly relieved, as if he saw a bright future beckoning.
