Eleven Street, Burbank, the top floor of a six-story office building.

Standing in the doorway of the hundred-square-meter office room, Scott watched the workers post brass lettering on the white wall behind the front desk, reminding, "The Anderson Foundation is on top, and the Pacific Film Foundation is below." ”

The worker in charge of the construction turned around and said, "We do things, you can rest assured." ”

A young man came over and said to Scott with a smile, "Head, go and rest, I'll just keep an eye on it." ”

Instead of answering, Scott asked, "Did you open today?"

The young man quickly replied: "Continuing the trend of slow recovery in the previous two days, as soon as the stock market opened, the Nasdaq rose by 0.15 points. ”

Scott patted the young man on the shoulder: "You're staring here, I'll go back and see." ”

"Okay. The young man said.

As soon as he was about to go back to the office, Scott saw someone coming from outside, turned his head to look, and greeted with a bit of surprise: "Mr. Anderson......

Ronan waved his hand at Scott and said, "Didn't you say it, just call me Ronan." ”

When the young man saw Ronan, he immediately realized that this was the real boss, and hurriedly said respectfully, "Mr. Anderson." ”

Ronan smiled and nodded at him, and at Scott's beckoning, he entered the writing room, looking at him as he walked.

The office room has just been renovated for a short time, and the area is not very large, divided into two separate rooms, one for Scott's office and the company's conference room, and the other part is an open layout, with a dozen desks with partitions, but the Foundation has just begun to operate, and there are only four employees including the young people at the door.

This is where the Anderson Foundation and the Pacific Film Investment Foundation are located, both of which are currently run by Scott.

Of course, all expenses go to the Pacific Film Investment Foundation.

It's a pity that at the moment there are still only two partners in the Pacific Film Investment Fund, namely Ronan and Tony Koch.

Tom Cruise and Will Smith have also expressed their intention to become partners, and Ronan is also willing to accept the investment of the two, but both of them are investing in their respective starring movies, and the actual liquidity that can be withdrawn is limited.

Ronan's personal investment fund, all the funding comes from him personally, and Scott is also directly responsible to him.

Entering Scott's office, Ronan is seated on a single couch with Scott sitting next to him.

Ronan didn't talk nonsense, went straight to the point, and asked, "How is the stock market going?"

"The authorities in Washington have been taking strong measures to bail out the market, and after more than half a month of efforts, it has recently begun to show results, the stock market has gradually stabilized from five days ago, and the stock index began to rise three days ago, although the rally is very slow, but this signal can give Wall Street and investors huge confidence, presumably for a long time to come, the general trend of the stock market should be a steady recovery," Scott said. ”

"Hmm. Ronan was not a professional, but said: "The stock market can't fall forever, it's normal." ”

If it continues to fall in a thousand miles, it is the Washington authorities who are most anxious.

Scott said seriously: "This warm-up period should last two to three years. ”

Ronan also felt that it was possible, and instead asked, "What about the Foundation's financial investment?"

Knowing that Ronan was asking about the $65 million, Scott immediately replied: "In the past twelve days, I have invested all $65 million, of which $45 million was used to buy Apple shares and $20 million was used to buy some shares of Amazon." ”

He further said: "Both stocks have risen to varying degrees as a result of our acquisition. Apple, in particular, would have risen even more if I hadn't bought a stake in a small shareholder. ”

Ronan understood that this was a normal market reaction and said, "Well done. ”

Today, Apple's stock price is only $1.25 per share, and the overall market value is less than $6 billion, and if it weren't for the transaction with minority shareholders, Scott would not have been able to buy such a huge amount of Apple stock in a short period of time.

Having said that, Apple is really about to bottom out now, and who would have thought that Apple's stock price would be so low.

Even Apple's announcement a few months ago that it would release a new music player at the end of October would not spur the stock market and generate investor confidence.

Amazon is no better, and has not slowed down since the dot-com bubble burst last year, hovering around $6 per share.

Scott said at this time: "On the 23rd of this month, Apple officially released a new generation of music player IPOD, and most people are not very optimistic, and none of the new products launched by Apple from the early nineties to the present have really been a big success." ”

He glanced at Ronan: "If this product can be successful, Apple may get out of its current predicament, and the stock price will rise slowly." ”

Ronan can't find any words to say, it's still the same old thing: "I believe Steve Jobs will bring success to Apple." ”

IF NOTHING ELSE, THE IPOD WILL CHANGE THE SITUATION FOR APPLE, ALLOWING STEVE JOBS TO STAY AT THE HELM OF APPLE UNTIL THE FAMOUS KIDNEY MACHINE COMES OUT, AND APPLE SOARS.

Unfortunately, Steve Jobs died a little early.

In my previous life, I read some news reports that Steve Jobs did not trust Western medicine, and after getting cancer, he used some Shinto methods to treat it.

Perhaps, Steve Jobs' death is not a bad thing, at least it saved many people's kidneys.

"Amazon has a minority shareholder who owns about 0.4 percent of the shares. "He called me yesterday to ask if he was interested in buying his shares," Scott said. ”

Ronan raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Buy it." ”

Scott smiled and said, "The Foundation has no money on its books. ”

Ronan pondered for a few seconds and said, "I'll solve the problem of funding." It is not difficult for Relativity Entertainment to mobilize funds, but considering the investment acquisition that will be carried out soon, he feels that it is more appropriate to borrow from the bank: "You keep in touch with the other party, and I will go to the bank for a loan." ”

He added: "The borrowed funds are all converted into Apple shares, except for the completion of the acquisition." ”

Scott knew that Ronan was up to it, and said, "Okay. He went on to say: "The Cinéfondation has also begun to operate in earnest, and the funding problem is ......"

Ronan said: "I'm in charge of the funding. ”

He has already contacted several financial institutions and entertainment companies in the island countries and South Korea through the overseas offices of Embassy Pictures, and the two sides are in initial contact, and if all goes well, he can fly over to talk with the other party in person after this busy time.

The money of overseas investors is handy to use.

Scott asked, "Is there anything I need to do?"

Ronan thought about it for a moment and said, "You will come with me then." ”

In addition to the island countries and South Korea, the Indian Mountain Foundation also intends to continue to cooperate with Shahai Entertainment.

The first collaboration between the two parties, "Spy Shadow", was a great success, and although it has not yet been settled, it is inevitable that the investment will be profitable, which can also effectively attract the mountain foundation to continue to invest.

There will be more and more large-scale productions invested by Shahai Entertainment, and the funds required are also astronomical, and continuing to raise funds externally is the most appropriate way to operate.

If you only rely on Relativity Entertainment, you have to squeeze out the liquidity, and other plans will face a situation where there is no money to use.

After discussing some of the Foundation's operations with Scott, Ronan left the office and went downstairs to get into the car, and asked David to go directly to the Bank of America, and on the way he contacted Judith, who was in charge of docking at the bank.

When she arrived at the bank, Judith was already waiting near the door to greet her, and took Ronan directly into her office.

"Mr. Anderson. Judith had a warm smile on her face: "Welcome to Bank of America again." ”

Ronan said with a smile, "Every time I come here, I can think of the heavy debt I am carrying. ”

Judith smiled and said, "It's not a burden for you, you can erase it with a wave of your hand." ”

"I'm coming here this time and need a loan. Ronan didn't answer her words and said directly: "Personal loan." ”

Judith didn't think about it and said, "No problem, how much do you need?"

In the first few loans, the other party all repaid on time, whether it is assets or credit, they are the best quality customers.

Ronan was unceremonious and said, "At least $30 million, the more the merrier." ”

"The number of loans is a bit much. Judith told the truth: "Mr. Anderson, such a high personal loan requires collateral. ”

Ronan opened the briefcase and put the materials he had prepared before in front of Judith: "This is proof of my personal income in the past two years, and my future income will only increase, and I use my personal income in the next three years as collateral." ”

Judith picked up the information, looked through it carefully, and after reading it, said: "There should be no problem, I will submit it for review as soon as possible, and I will go through the loan procedures today?"

Luo An nodded: "The sooner the better." ”

Judith added: "It takes about three to five days to review. ”

Ronan knew that banks were more stringent in their lending procedures, even for regular customers like him.

With Judith's help, Ronan quickly completed some of the necessary formalities and applied for a $35 million personal loan from the bank against his personal income for the next three years.

The funds will be used entirely for the Anderson Foundation's investments.

After the funds are in place, Ronan will still hand over the follow-up investment matters to Scott.

On the way back, Ronan receives a call that British actor Christian Bale has accepted an invitation from the crew to audition for the Little Blacksmith the day after tomorrow.

Orlando Bloom has been slow to make progress, Ronan has already made contact, and Christian Bale is also a good option.
