Chapter 827: Indian Cinema
A brand new Gulfstream business plane landed at Mumbai Airport, and Candace Swanepel followed Connie and the bodyguard off the plane, waited a little until Ronan, who had finished the call, also came down and walked outside with him.
Seeing that Candace Swanepel seemed a little nervous, Ronan tapped her tall nose slightly: "Enjoy the trip." ”
Candace Swanepel smiled sweetly: "This is my first time in India. ”
She looked ahead, and a convoy was parked a few dozen meters away, and a group of Indians in suits and leather shoes had already greeted her.
These people shook hands with Ronan enthusiastically, from etiquette to dress to speech, they were basically no different from Westerners, and they were obviously all Westernized.
Candace Swanepel stood beside Ronan, maintaining a proper smile.
She has an advantage in this area, after all, she has received professional training.
Ronan introduced her to the lead Indian: "Candace, this is Rakesh Ross, president of the Indian Mountain Foundation. Mr. Ross, this is my female companion, Miss Candace Swanepoel. ”
Rakesh Rose smiled and nodded at Candace Swanepoel, who responded with a smile.
Candace Swanepel could tell that the Indian didn't value her.
"Mr. Anderson, welcome to Mumbai again. Rakesh-Ross is very enthusiastic about Ronan, and the Mountain Foundation has been working with the Pacific Investment Fund for many years, and has had a very consistent income every year: "This time you must listen to my arrangement. ”
Ronan smiled and said, "No problem. ”
"Please come here. Rakesh-Ross made a gesture of please.
Ronan patted Candace Swanepour: "Let's go to the hotel first. ”
Candace Swanepel nodded slightly: "I listen to you." ”
However, Ronan politely turned down Rakesh Ross and instead of getting into his car, he got into the car of Embassy Pictures India.
Sterling, the head of the Indian branch, glanced at Candace Swanepel and followed Connie into another car.
As soon as he got in the car, Sterling asked, "Is this the boss's girlfriend?"
If so, something would have to be rescheduled.
Connie understood what he meant, and shook her head slightly: "According to the established reception plan." ”
Sterling relieved: "I see. ”
The convoy left the airport and headed to Mumbai's business district.
Entering the business district, Candace Swanepel looked out the car window curiously, and the high-rise buildings and modern buildings and facilities were everywhere, no less prosperous than Century City in Beverly Hills.
"It's not what I thought. Candace Swanepel said.
Ronan asked, "What do you imagine India to look like?"
Candace Swanepel said with a smile: "There are some reports about India in the media. ”
Ronan nodded, "I see." He asked, "Is that so?" Dirty, messy, open defecation, trains full of people, a motorcycle can carry more than five passengers......
Hearing this, Candace Swanepel said, "Probably about the same. ”
Ronan also looked out of the car and boat: "We have traveled all the way to the most prosperous area, and it is also the richest place in Mumbai and even the whole of India. ”
Candace Swanepel nodded slightly: "I see." ”
The convoy quickly arrived at the hotel, and after getting out of the car, Candace Swanepur was able to see far away, which was close to the coastline, and at first glance, it was a bustling place, and it was basically the same as Beverly Hills.
She followed Ronan into the hotel, and after a little wait, Ronan's assistant Connie checked in, and the group took the special elevator and went directly to the suite.
Without asking, Candace Swanepel also knows that this is the legendary Super Presidential Suit with a separate elevator and where she is going to stay.
Ronan went to the study to call, Connie packed Ronan's luggage, walked over, and said, "The master bedroom has a special ladies wardrobe, do you want me to help pack the luggage?"
"No need. Candace Swanepel was already prepared, smiled and said, "I'll do it myself." ”
Connie advised: "Ronan doesn't like to be disturbed when he works, except for the study, you can move around anywhere else, and when Ronan is not there, you can call me at any time, or inform Finch that it is okay." ”
As she spoke, she handed Candace Swanepel two business cards.
Candace Swanepel put it away and asked, "Will Ronan be busy?"
Connie mumbled, "There's a lot of work to be done. ”
Candace Swanepel hurriedly said, "I won't disturb Ronan's work. ”
Connie nodded, didn't say anything more, and turned to go to the study.
Seeing the door of the study open and close, Candace Swanepel pursed her lips, didn't she say that you can't just disturb it?
But she finally has a certain amount of insight, knowing that Connie, a mediocre-looking woman, seems to be Ronan's assistant, and is actually a big man in Relativity Entertainment.
Candace Swanepel went to the master bedroom and found Ronan's luggage in order, packed her luggage, took her makeup bag and sat in front of the dressing table, touching up her makeup in front of the mirror.
Although she only wore very light makeup, her natural beauty, coupled with the advantage of her age, made Candace Swanepel look bright and moving.
Especially sweet temperament, like delicious candy.
After touching up her makeup, Candace Swanepel spun around in the presidential suite and curiously touched around.
In South Africa, she is also from a typical middle-class family, but this is the first time she has lived in such a super luxurious suite.
The journey from Los Angeles to Mumbai was also an eye-opener for Candace Swaneple.
A luxurious and comfortable private jet, any bottle of wine on the plane is much more expensive than her salary in "Life and Death Fight", and the three female flight attendants who are not below her......
Candace Swanepel spun around, sat on the couch, and waited quietly.
The door to the study was opened from the inside, and Ronan was the first to step out, followed by Connie.
"Sterling mentioned it to me just now. Connie said, "Do you remember the Falci Foundation? They also want to work with the Pacific Investment Foundation." ”
Ronan nodded slightly: "When we first came to India, we were interested in working with us, and finally chose to invest in the foundation on Wall Street?"
Connie said, "That's them." The Falch Foundation has been investing on Wall Street for the past few years, nominally making a profit in the first two years, but the companies it invests in always let them buy new funds and stocks after making a profit, and the funds have never been returned. ”
Ronan could roughly guess what was going on: "Profits have always been on the books?"
"Yes. Connie put it simply: "The money is always in the investment firms on Wall Street, and then the investment companies are constantly encouraging the Falch Foundation to make new investments. Since last year, the investment has continued to incur losses, and the Falch Foundation has finally withdrawn less than half of the initial investment. ”
Ronan knows very well that Wall Street is only a lot more comical than Hollywood.
Connie continued: "The Falch Foundation decided to restructure its investment strategy and decided to focus on stable income type investments, while the Pacific Investment Foundation has a lot of cooperation with India and Mumbai, and has a good reputation and credibility, so they have a strong intention to cooperate. ”
Ronan said, "You talk to Sterling, and I can meet with them in two days." ”
Connie nodded, "No problem." She then added: "At noon, Rakesh-Ross is going to have a banquet for us. ”
Ronan glanced at the time: "Yes, we will leave on time in half an hour." ”
Connie didn't say anything more, and after asking a word, she took the initiative to leave the presidential suite.
"I feel like you're so busy. Candace Swanepel tilted her head to look at Ronan.
"Suddenly there was something going on. Ronan walked over and took her hand: "Go take a shower, change into formal clothes, we're going to the feast." ”
Candace Swanepel said, "Okay, you wait for me a while. ”
After saying that, she returned to the master bedroom, took a quick shower, put on light makeup, put on a well-fitting little dress, and joined Ronan out of the suite.
After going out, Candace Swanepel grabbed Ronan's arm directly.
The luncheon is on the third floor of this hotel and is not the rumored Indian food, but a variety of Western cuisine.
Ronan quickly tossed Candace Swanepel aside and chatted with Rakesh Rose about the next phase of the collaboration.
The Pacific Investment Fund has worked closely with Rakesh-Ross's Mountain Foundation over the years, and while the Pacific Foundation is not the most profitable option, it is the safest option.
After going through the most difficult period, Ronan pays great attention to credibility, which is an important prerequisite for being able to secure financing overseas.
Having said that, all the people or institutions that have invested in his projects over the years, which one has not received a good return?
Including the Abu Dhabi consortium.
Rakesh Rose's Mountain Foundation has recently invested in quite a few Bollywood films, but the profit margins are mediocre.
India's film production is staggering, but the market is not large, and only a handful of them can make it out of South Asia.
Audiences in other regions are also not very comfortable with the model of Indian films dancing without saying a word.
In fact, Bollywood's singing and dancing movies can fully illustrate one thing, it is often difficult for the national to become the world.
In the next phase, the Mountain Foundation is ready to invest $500 million in the Pacific Foundation.
The luncheon lasted more than an hour, and after that, Ronan politely declined Rakesh Rose's invitation and returned to his suite with Candace Swanepool, citing the need to rest for a long flight.
Tomorrow is a meeting with Steve Jobs, and Ronan also needs to rest well and adjust to his condition.
Because the next thing you have to face is one of the most astute businessmen and professional managers in the world.
