Chapter Eighty-Three: A Trap or an Opportunity

Jonas didn't understand why Milkan, a big man, would specifically ask him out, and only then did he understand why Cameron, the later tyrant on the set, looked like a docile little sheep in front of him.

Not to mention Cameron, even if Yannick arrives in person, it is difficult to have a psychological advantage in front of Milkan.

The background of a person who is associated with war, arms, or even espionage is definitely not simple.

Jonas even suspects that he is also one of Richie's disciples.

Rich has founded many companies over the years, and his disciples have established many more companies, but none of them are joint-stock companies, and none of them are publicly available.

All the companies, all of them partnerships, is the main reason why Richie has more and more allies.

The special nature of the partnership allows the partners to have a high level of trust in their allies, and the unlimited partners will bear all the losses and share the profits.

It's like a fund, the foundation bears the failure of the investment, but the profits are shared.

This kind of partnership is more loosely organized, and there is no need to disclose the amount of investment, and anyone can choose to participate in a certain investment, or not, and the funds can be withdrawn at any time.

This old-fashioned and secret investment method was very popular in the semi-black and white industry of resources, and was the main reason why Richie grew rapidly in the seventies.

Because of this speculation, Jonas was much more friendly to Milkan. It's not that I befriend each other, I just feel that I belong to a class of people and are worth getting close to.

Milkan entered the dining room with two bodyguards, and when Jonas saw him enter, he stood up and welcomed him out of his seat, but he still stood at the table and continued to meet him without losing his temper.

Milkan stretched out his fingers, and the two bodyguards took out a small radio-like instrument and circled around. Then he sat down at the adjacent table so that no one would disturb their conversation.

And that instrument is on the table, and it should be a jammer to prevent eavesdropping.

Jonas held out his hands and shook them with his. "I found out in the afternoon that you and Uncle Mark are so close. In the morning, it was me who was rude. ”

Milkan shook his hand and nodded to Nicole before saying, "In our circle, it's normal for a person to have several identities. I met you this morning as a producer, and your performance was not rude. ”

Jonas asked, "And in what capacity is Mr. Milkan meeting me now?"

He smiled and, without waiting for Jonas' invitation, took a seat across from Jonas. "You can call me Uncle Arnold. Yannick always thought you weren't grown up yet, and wanted me to take care of you more. But it seems to me that you have a maturity far beyond your age. When I was your age, I was still worried about going to college. Sit down, let's take it easy. ”

Jonas sat Nicole down, and sat down beside her, at this time, she was still a little unaware, and this change of status made her seem a little stiff.

Jonas regretted bringing her a little, but since he had already brought her, it would be too blunt to let her go.

After Jonas sat down, Milkan took the initiative to speak, "You chose a total of six scripts for Fox, and in my experience, each script has highlights, which is a rare thing. ”

Although he is talking about the script, Jonas does not think that the script is important, what matters is the performance outside the script.

Jonas didn't know if he would be disappointed by his inaction in the morning, but now it seems that he should be more than satisfied.

"I just use the eyes of a young man to select the movie scripts that I am interested in, which is not a skill. ”

"So what do you think is the skill?"

"Be an authority in an industry and then be convinced. ”

Milkan smiled and asked, "Why would you want to prove yourself in Hollywood, thousands of miles away?"

"Because in the financial industry, I still need a few years of study before I can have the ability to be recognized. For many people, Hollywood is an opportunity, a hope, and for me, a shortcut. ”

His eyes were fixed on Jonas's eyes, which were very sharp, and Jonas looked back at him sincerely, his face unchanged and his heart beating.

It's ridiculous to hide your thoughts in front of them, none of these people are simple. Even if it is a crossing, Jonas does not think that he can compare to their cunning, it is better to be open and honest.

Mirkan, who became a billionaire by improving fertilizer, worked in industry and became a Hollywood producer, and was the largest arms dealer in the Jewish state, is not comparable to Jonas who is several levels behind in terms of ability and judgment.

"Why don't you continue to enjoy your youth? Is it because of Hollywood stars?"

If Jonas had such thoughts before, but after spending time with Hannah for a long time and getting used to Jonas's identity, his thoughts became much weaker.

There is Nicole, and now he is satisfied, and the education that Jonas has received will not make him a hungry wolf.

As for femdoming Nicole some time ago, that's another story. The main reason is that the two people will be separated by thousands of miles in the future, and more effective means will be used to maintain Nicole's loyalty for a longer time.

It's not about character.

Nicole looked at Jonas when she heard this, clearly concerned. Jonas smiled at her, grabbed her hand and said, "I'm satisfied with Nicole one, for me, more women are not better." At my age, I should put more experience into learning. ”

"What to Learn"

"As I said, convincing industry authorities. For me, the current one is to become a qualified financial practitioner. ”

"I thought you'd enjoy the spotlight even more. ”

"No," Jonas shook his head firmly. "If it were possible, I would prefer to be that invisible hand. ”

The waiter's arrival interrupted their conversation for the time being, and Jonas said softly to Nicole, "Honey, please go and order some food for me and Uncle Arnhorn and his bodyguards, it will be hearty, and I will have to work out later, and it will cost a lot of calories." ”

This is the first time that Jonas has shown such affection in front of outsiders, and it is also deliberately done by him. Nicole was very happy, nodded obediently, and left with the waiter.

However, as she left, she glanced at Jonas with some concern, apparently knowing that Jonas had deliberately sent her away, and was a little worried about Jonas.

Milkan waited for them to leave, and said with a smile, "I have asked you so much, is there anything you want to ask me?"

Jonas thought for a moment and asked, "Doesn't your status as an arms seller affect your development in Hollywood?"

"The professional background is more or less a hindrance, and from an ideological point of view, Hollywood doesn't like to have anything to do with arms dealers. They don't want to deal with people who sell weapons to kill people. So every time I talk to someone about a script, I have to spend half an hour explaining that I'm really just an agent, not a real arms dealer.

After a short period of hitting a wall, I quickly found my rhythm and slowly got on the right track. And my not-so-glamorous past, not only has not been forgotten by Hollywood, but has made me the talk of the talk, just like David Bergerman, the Colombian executive who caused an uproar for embezzlement a few years ago. ”

He smiled playfully and said, "People like to deal with me nowadays and think it's an honor to have dinner with me. ”

Jonas was really convinced, and asked, "Doesn't the government here care, aren't you afraid to be the second Uncle Mark?"

"Outside of Hollywood, the people I deal with the most are people from the Department of Defense, and they need people like me. ”

Jonas didn't ask if he was a spy or not, the question was too sensitive.

He somewhat understood the purpose of Milkan's visit to him, and his identity was complicated, so he deliberately made a high profile, which had the advantage of not touching him under normal circumstances.

But there are also disadvantages, his every move is monitored, and many things are inconvenient for him to do by himself.

He probably wanted to see if he was a good man, and if he was reliable, he could use him as a conduit between him and Europe in the future.

However, Jonas soon realized that something was wrong, because such a person could do it by arranging his subordinates casually, and there was no need to pull Jonas into the water.

It is more likely that Jonas was deliberately discarded from the suspicions brought about by his identity, so that Jonas could not be closely watched by the relevant authorities.

Thinking of this, Jonas immediately decided not to go any further, because even with electronic interference, the lip experts could easily discern the general content of their conversation.

Moreover, he now suspects that Milkan has a close relationship with his father and Macridge, but he has not yet been confirmed by Yannick, so he should be careful.

So, Jonas said, "Uncle Arnhorn, I'm only eighteen years old this year, and I still need to go to college to learn my banking and financial management. Working in Hollywood is a way for me to train myself. I don't want to spend too much energy on other things. ”

Milkan laughs, "My curiosity about you stems from the fact that you're just as I thought, making connections here through movies." I am not disappointed to see you today. I think we could have taken a little bit faster. ”

This made Jonas suspicious of his intentions, and he shook his head and said, "I can't make any promises until I have my father's permission." If it's just for film, I don't think I have the ability to form a team, form a project. ”

was rejected by Jonas, he was not unhappy at all, and when he saw Nicole returning, he smiled and said, "Your little girlfriend is very beautiful and has a suitable role, I will give priority to her." ”

"Then thank you, Uncle Arnold. ”

Ni saw Jonas thanking her, and then thanked her: "Thank you, Uncle Arnhorn, I will try not to make you regret choosing me for any role." ”

(Take the suggestion, the Hollywood plot is no longer detailed.) In fact, this plot is not a pickle girl, the purpose is to lure out this Milkan. )
