Chapter 254: Life (3rd Update)

Hubert Perrodo is an oil tycoon close to Jonas, and Jonas's liking for him comes from the fact that he married a Hong Kong model as his wife, and the couple is very affectionate.

He had no prejudice against the Chinese, and was full of affection, and Jonas saw him show affection for his wife more than once, and was full of sympathy for the country in the East.

In 75, Hubert, who is a super-rich second generation, met Huang Jiaer in a dance hall in Hong Kong, and the two decided to get married after ten days of acquaintance.

After marriage, Huang Jiaer followed her husband from Hong Kong to Singapore, Huang Jiaer opened a modeling agency, and Hubert started his entrepreneurial career in Singapore.

His father was the owner of a private oil company and the family also had a fleet of transport vessels, which he took over and moved the centre of his business to Singapore.

But soon, he was not willing to just provide oil companies with the business of transporting oil, but wanted to get involved in the industry.

It was also at this time that Transoceanic Drilling partnered with Keppel Singapore to produce offshore rigs in Singapore, and he got involved and became a partner in Transoceanic Drilling.

After '81, his father's health was not good, and he returned to France from Singapore to take over the family's oil company.

Jonas also knew his future path, and he made a fortune by buying an offshore abandoned oil field of the Amoco oil company in Gabon, West Africa, only to discover oil later.

In 2006, while skiing in the Alps, he died unexpectedly.

Huang Jiaer inherited 100% of his inheritance and became a world-famous rich woman.

Because their family's company never accepts me as an investment, it's completely private, and they don't disclose their finances, so no one knows exactly how much money they have.

But their net profit per year, on average, is around a billion dollars.

In 2012, Pelanco acquired ConocoPhillips' Vietnam operations for $1.3 billion, BP's North Sea fields for $400 million, and Petrobras fields in Colombia for $400 million.

At that time, Jonas, an industry insider, knew that Huang Jiaer's Perenco company was also so strong.

Angola is a hostile country of Armenia, and Davis, an Armenian oil tycoon, naturally cannot swagger to invest in Anglonia, so he wants to borrow Hubert's company to participate in the investment.

Hubert, on the other hand, means that they can invest together, or in Hubert's name.

Of course, they don't start out investing directly, because neither Hubert nor Davis are going to be directly involved in the exploration venture.

In the world oil industry, too many adventurers end up bankrupt.

Although direct investment in mining is not as lucrative as that of exploration, the returns will not be less, and there is no risk at all.

Rich smiled: "You two don't have to fight for the time being, we won't consider follow-up actions until the final negotiation between Jonas and Santos and the Soviets comes out." The main thing now is to set up a negotiation team and negotiate with them. Jonas, do you need me to put you in some right-hand men?"

"Of course, that's what I'm here for tonight. At present, Hoffman Investment Bank only has financial talents, and talents in the oil industry still need uncles. ”

Green thought for a moment and asked, "So, in your plan, how much risk line is set?"

"A billion dollars, that's the most I've been able to get out of my hands without compromising other investments. ”

A bunch of old fellows whimpered, laughing at Jonas now with a lot of money.

At this time, it is not suitable to talk about specific business, and the topic of negotiations with Santos has been revealed. A group of old guys are talking about going to the beach on FelicitΓ© Island for Christmas, and they want Jonas to arrange the whole thing.

Of course, Jonas didn't have the slightest opinion on this, even if they all went and brought their families, it wouldn't cost much.

The Hoffman family bought FelicitΓ© Island and spent a lot of money to build it, which was originally for this purpose.

Jonas didn't stay long, he still had a lot to do in the past few days, and his reception itinerary was arranged to the minute.

Tomorrow morning will be busy, not as good as the "leisure" of these old guys.

Ursula sent Jonas downstairs and told him about the arrangements to go to England to attend the signing ceremony for the acquisition of Rolls-Royce and Bentley.

In the early stage, Jonas didn't appear except for one visit at the beginning.

Now, the procedures of each link have been completed, and by January 1, the two factories will completely belong to him, and if he does not attend, he will not be able to speak.

"Then schedule the signing ceremony for December 30, and at the same time reveal the news of the order for 431 cars, so as to make the British happy. ”

Ursula laughed: "No, no, there are now more than a thousand car orders, and if we can come up with a facelifted model this year, the order will be doubled." ”

Jonas paused for a moment and laughed: "This is really good news, the union doesn't have to worry about it this time, right?"

"They will worship you as God. ”

Rolls-Royce and Bentley combined produce almost 8,000 units a year. More than 1,000 orders came at once, which is 15 percent of the annual output.

According to the financial audit, the profit line of the Rolls-Royce and Bentley brands is 8,600 vehicles. That is, if you produce 8,000 cars, you will lose some money, but if you produce more than that, you will make a profit.

At this time, there were more than 1,000 orders for them, and they got rid of the loss-making situation.

Separated from Ursula, Jonas got on a speedboat and returned home, Sophia had not yet slept, and her grandmother, Hannah and Vila Omar, were still teasing her.

On the other side of the living room, Yankel and Laken, and the Andrei brothers were still chatting and bragging, and there were several empty wine bottles in front of them.

Seeing Jonas return, Andrei couldn't help but shake his head. "Jonas, you guy, you're really ashamed of us people!"

Jonas smiled, "Uncle Andre, how are you doing in your environmental business?"

He shook his head. "I've decided to go back to working in the family business, and I can't afford to waste my time seeing you achieve so much. ”

Hearing his words, Rakken laughed. "Jonas, haven't you been in touch with Nicole for a long time?"

In fact, in September, Nicole secretly went to China and spent a few days with Hannah and Sophia before joining the crew.

Jonas nodded and asked, "How's your movie going?"

"It went very well, there was a rare snowfall in Paris last month, and all the shots were taken. Now in post-production, just waiting for the release in February. ”

"How's Nicole doing?"

"It's good, for an eighteen-year-old girl, her acting skills are so good that everyone in the crew is complimenting her. ”

Nicole's comeback, the first movie she made was "The Devil in Hermes" produced by Fox and Milkan, and Catherine, the queen of Europe, played for her.

Originally, the movie was Prada, but Jonas was not familiar with Prada's relationship, but was a little familiar with Hermes, so it was replaced by Hermes.

In terms of status in the fashion industry, Hermes is also a little stronger than Prada.

The film cost fifteen million dollars to produce, and there is no special cost for the set, and it can be shot as a fashion film.

Because of the special theme, Hermes used the film as their promotional film, and the family spent five million dollars.

In addition, various fashion brands, glasses, including furniture, all kinds of fashion brands in the play have big names.

The movie has not yet been filmed, and the production cost of 15 million dollars has already been earned.

Therefore, Catherine's salary alone reached five million dollars, and Nicole's salary also reached two million dollars.

Even so, Milkan still smiled from ear to ear, and there was no better movie than this.

The film is now making a huge splash, mainly because of Catherine's five million and Nicole's two million.

From the sixties, Taylor became the first actress with a salary of more than one million, and then Audrey, Sophia Loren and other actresses also entered the million-dollar club.

But the good times didn't last long, and throughout the 70s, the decline of movies led to a significant reduction in the actress's salary, and by 85, there was still no actress with a net salary of more than $2 million.

But this movie was a gimmick from the beginning, first promoted from fashion films, and then from feminist films, and finally revealed that the two leading actors received a salary of 7 million.

Although Catherine is the queen of Europe, in Hollywood, her commercial value is not high, and she has a salary of five million, which has surpassed the vast majority of male movie stars.

Except for Stallone, who participated in the dividends, almost no one was paid more than them.

Like Mr. Governor, the filming of the Terminator is only 300,000 yuan.

The accusations of countless film critics, coupled with the fact that this movie was not released and returned to its original cost first, all promoted this movie.

Regardless of the future results of the movie, Catherine and Nicole are really popular this time.

Raken picked up the bottle and asked, "Would you like a drink?"

"No, I don't. I still have a lot of information to read and need a clear mind. ”

Vera said in a loud voice: "Jonas, you are pushing yourself too hard now, I heard your grandmother say that you have been busy with work almost throughout the second half of this year, which is not right. ”

Jonas smiled: "Ouma, this year and next year are the most critical two years, and I will give myself a good rest after this time period." ”

She nodded and said, "You must know that in addition to work, life also has the meaning of life itself. ”

"Yes, I will remember Oumar's words. But now, I have to go to work. ”

Hannah said, "Vera, don't talk about him. At the very least, wait until he's done with the week. ”
