After the investment meeting began, Ronan stabilized his mentality and did not rush to talk about money, and spent the first two days introducing the basic situation of Hollywood, the history and production of Shahai Entertainment, the general negative image of Arabs in Hollywood movies, and so on.
Whether it is the information of Shahai Entertainment or the relevant information of the "Human Removal Plan", it has been sent to everyone who participates.
Abu Dhabi people don't take money very seriously, and they can't be taken for fools, and if you want people to invest, you must first win the trust of people.
Ronan made a special understanding that most of the participants were real businessmen, not old hats who were waiting to die.
Compared with those closed Middle Eastern countries, the UAE has relatively liberal policies, many people have access to the Western world, and many wealthy people are also doing import and export business in North America.
Allow a certain amount of time for potential investors to learn about Shahai Entertainment in Los Angeles through their own channels.
Investors will try to pull investment desperately at the beginning, and the result may be counterproductive.
Arabs have a lot of money, but they are not fools.
Want to cheat money...... No, pulling investment, the highest level, is that everything prepared can stand up to verification, all true.
On this basis, then draw the pie appropriately.
All of Ronan's information is authentic and credible, with the exception of the budgeted cost of the Human Eradication Project.
In this era, the budget of Hollywood movies has a lot of room for maneuver, and many insiders can't figure it out, let alone outsiders.
In the past two days, Ronan was also carefully observing, and among the more than 100 people who came over one after another, there were not a few who were interested.
Even, some of Abu Dhabi's royal children came to the venue to see it.
Even if human beings have an innate fear and rejection of things they don't know enough, under Ronan's careful calculations, there are not a few people who are interested in investing.
"Hassan, how are your friends in Los Angeles asking about it?"
Two Arabs in white robes walked into the venue, and the slightly younger one asked the bearded man in a low voice, "Is this project okay?"
The bearded man glared at him and admonished, "Don't talk nonsense, Hussein! ”
"It's not that I don't believe in the Investment Bureau. Hussain came to the exhibition area with many posters and said: "We can't compare with the investment bureau, the money is earned by doing business." ”
Hassan took a copy of the Los Angeles Times from the display case and stuffed it to Hussein: "This is one of the three major newspapers in the United States. ”
Hussain looked at the newspaper report about the Human Eradication Program and said, "I've read it all." He put down the newspaper and picked up a few posters and drawings and stuffed them to his entourage behind: "It's beautifully done, and the children like it." ”
Hassan also asked his entourage to get a few copies, and then said: "My trading partner helped me check, this company is located in Burbank, Los Angeles, has been established for more than ten years, and the film recently held a press conference at the Hilton Hotel, and it can still be seen in newspapers and magazines in the United States...... Well, there is a problem with the Ronan Anderson capital chain, otherwise there would be no external financing. ”
Hussein lowered his voice: "Is the project okay?"
Hassan stroked his beard: "From the information I have obtained, this company is more reliable than the American export company I work with. ”
"Yes. Hussein put down his luggage, took a copy of Shahai Entertainment's introduction, and said while flipping through it: "That young man with glasses looks honest. In the first two days, the basic situation of Hollywood and the risks of investing in the film industry were introduced. People who cheat money will say that the film industry is risky? ”
Hassan pointed to a place in the chamber: "I'm going to talk to him, are you going?"
Hussein asked, "Have you decided to invest?"
Hassan said as he walked: "Let's invest a small amount of money first, didn't he say that I want to establish a long-term relationship with the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority in the future to avoid Shahai Entertainment's films being affected by those damn Jewish funds!"
Hussein followed: "American Jews have been smearing us!" He remembered the synopsis of the script he had read, and said, "Hollywood is not all bastards, there are good people." ”
As soon as Ronan sent off a person who consulted about investment, he saw two people in white robes and white turbans walking over.
"Good morning. Ronan greeted him in the Arabic he had just learned.
Hassan and Hussein both spoke English, greeted each other and introduced themselves.
Ronan lifted his flat glasses and smiled sincerely: "Two gentlemen, please take a seat." ”
"I want to ask about investing. Hassan didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "What is the minimum investment you accept?"
Ronan took a few contract templates, put them in front of Hassan and Hussein, and said: "You two can take a look at the model contract, which has been approved by Ibrahim's lawyer at the Royal Abu Dhabi Law Firm, and the contract will also be filed with the Investment Bureau." ”
That Saleh is definitely a competent leader and has helped a lot.
Both Hassan and Hussein looked at the contracts, which were available in English and Arabic.
"Shahai Entertainment has been ostracized by Jewish funds because of the script, and we urgently need investment. Ronan didn't mind putting on a difficult position, which greatly increased the credibility of his words: "Shahai Entertainment has launched three investment quotas: $100,000, $300,000 and $500,000. Of course, we can also accept higher investment, but there is one thing I need to state in advance that no matter how high or low the investment is, we cannot rush into the production of "Human Eradication Project", we need professional people to do professional things. ”
Hussein nodded: "Makes sense." ”
Hassan also acquiesced that this young man had a rare Yankee honesty, and he always said something that was not very pleasant.
The project hosted by such a person is also more reliable, right?
"What about yields?" Hassan's eyes flashed with shrewdness.
Ronan did not fool around, opposite not a small person in the market, but a shrewd businessman, and appropriately painted a pie: "In addition to the principal, there is also a share of the box office profit of the movie with the same proportion as the investment." ”
"Not fixed income?" Hussain chimed in.
Ronan explains: "In the future, the higher the box office, the higher the share of the film. Regardless of the box office, the original investment principal will be returned after three years. ”
Hassan touched his beard and didn't speak.
Ronan pointed to the model contract: "These are all reflected in the contract, and if there is a dispute, Abu Dhabi will be the place of performance." ”
Hassan raised an eyebrow, which is sincere, and in case something happens, he can file a lawsuit directly in Abu Dhabi.
Before coming to Abu Dhabi, Ronan had been learning about North American society, and with enough money, three years was enough to do a lot.
In particular, the stock market, roughly remembering the collapse of the NASDAQ at the beginning of the new millennium, naturally the sooner it enters, the more gains.
"The yield is not very high. Hassan spoke suddenly.
Ronan smiled and said, "The impact of a movie cannot be measured in terms of monetary benefits alone. The film's investors, names, and avatars all appear prominently in the end credits, which also has a corresponding clause in the contract. In the future, when the film is released, the names of investors can spread all over the United States and beyond, and I believe it will be good for your business. ”
"Really?" Hussein was a little excited: "My kids can see me on the film?"
"There's no doubt about that," Ronan said. ”
Hussein looked at Hassan, who nodded slowly.
"I'll invest $300,000!" Hussein didn't hesitate.
Hassan thought for a moment and said, "I'll also invest $300,000." He picked up the contract: "We need to get a lawyer to review it." ”
"Yes!" Ronan specifically asked the barrister of the Royal Lawyer's Office that Saleh had found, and there would be no legal problems, the project would have been true. He smiled and said, "You can take the contract back, and ask the two of you to leave your contact information." ”
Hassan and Hussein took the corresponding $300,000 contract template, left their contact information, and discussed some details with Ronan before leaving.
Watching the two of them leave, Ronan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, Hassan and Hussein are very cautious, but the investment may be very large.
Only those who are interested in investing will know so much about it.
"Ronan!" Saleh suddenly walked over quickly, with a smile on his face, "Good news for you." ”
"What's the good news?" Ronan asked.
Saleh came up to him and said in a low voice: "One of my cousins, Mansour Zayed, wants to talk to you alone. ”
Mansour Zayed? Why does the name sound familiar?
Ronan hurriedly asked, "Who is he?"
"The real real power in the Investment Bureau, and currently the deputy director of the President's Office. Saleh emphatically said: "He has the power to decide on big investments!"
Saleh asked Ronan to hurry up, and if this investment can be achieved, it will not only open up Abu Dhabi's investment in the U.S. cultural and entertainment industry, but also allow him to make a lot of political achievements.
He didn't want to be a royal kid waiting for death.
Before leaving, Ronan found Mary and Robert, explained a few words, and asked, "Did it go well?"
"It's so smooth!" Robert looked at Ronan with admiration in his eyes, his voice was very low, but with irrepressible excitement: "I signed three investment intentions here, two orders of $100,000 and one order of $300,000. ”
Mary continued: "I'm about the same, and I'm close to $500,000 in investment." ”
"Okay!" Ronan admonished, "Stay calm, it's just an intention, and it's good to convert half of it into investment." ”
He glanced at Saleh, who was waiting not far away: "You go on, I'll go see the big guy of the Investment Bureau." ”
