Donn was very interested in the topic of charitable foundations, and when he talked to Blanca Reyes, his heart was half cold.

In the United States, charitable foundations have an obligation to disclose their finances, but in this case they are disclosed to donors. In other words, if Donn initiates the creation of a charitable fund but does not accept donations from others, then no one else has the right to ask for financial reports.

The constitution of a charitable fund is nominally formulated by the promoter, but in reality, the donor is often the promoter.

For example, if Don creates a charitable fund, and the articles of association stipulate that the members of the board of directors are the descendants of donors, then this charitable fund is actually the exclusive property of Donn's family, but nominally owned by the "public".

Federal law provides for a 5% annual expenditure requirement on the property of a charitable fund, but there are no restrictions on what can be spent. In other words, it is not illegal for a charitable fund to invest all the money, or to eat, drink, and enjoy all of it.

Because of the tax-exempt nature of charitable funds, charitable funds can be invested without restrictions, and as long as the annual income exceeds 5%, it can offset the necessary expenses.

The charity fund will last forever!

In history, too many wealthy families have fallen, and even the famous Rothschild family now does not know which small corner they are nested in.

Charitable foundations are the inheritance of family assets with legal protection!

Of course, Don is still very young and does not need to think about such a distant topic.

Three days later, Don Walker spun off an independent company from Down Pictures - Done Walker Film Capital Investment Fund, referred to as "Down Capital".

The 10% stake in Google that Towne Pictures once invested $12.5 million was also assigned to Towne Capital.

"Disney" became famous all over the world because Walt Disney founded the Disney Animation Studio.

Done's idea is simple, he wants to make his name a symbol of this era!

Towne Capital, nominally headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada, is exempt from regional taxes and actually works in Manhattan, New York.

The huge capital of $4.25 billion in Tangen's hands was naturally allocated to Tangen Capital.

"Donn, what are we going to do next?"

Scott Swift has been in a good mood lately, not only did he get a super big red envelope, but he was also promoted to the general manager of Down Capital.

Although this general manager is very small full-time, and he does things according to the intentions of Don En, the boss, but managing such a large amount of wealth is enough to satisfy his sense of fulfillment in life.

Tang En said: "The bear market has arrived, and the stock market will definitely collapse further, this time we should not be greedy, keep an eye on Yahoo and Cisco, and continue to short!"

Scott frowned, "Don, Yahoo's stock price is about to fall to $110, and Cisco has also fallen back to $40, I'm afraid there isn't much room for shorting." ”

"No, there's plenty of space!"

In the last round of shorting, Don spread out his stall and made a lot less. This time, his targets were only Yahoo and Cisco.

After the bubble crisis, Yahoo's stock price was less than $10, and Cisco's stock price was only $8, so there was still enough value for Don to squeeze!

Scott Swift was accustomed to Donne's unequivocal momentum, and nodded, "Two companies alone don't seem to be able to eat so much money in our hands." ”

Don smiled: "It's okay, I have a new intention." ”

"What?"

"Apple!"

"Short Apple?" Scott raised an eyebrow, "That's not a good idea!"

Donn shook his head, "Wrong, I'm going to invest in Apple." ”

"Investing in Apple? It's even worse!" Scott shook his head frequently, Apple's stock price is now $21, the total share capital is 234 million, and the market value is less than $5 billion.

Although after Jobs returned to Apple, he launched iMac and saved part of the market, but it could not change the situation that Microsoft was powerful and controlled the entire PC market.

Donn smiled, "Scott, listen to me, go buy it." ”

"How much to buy?"

"The more the merrier!"

Scott Swift was stunned for a moment, "More than 5%?"

Federal law stipulates that once an investor buys 5% of the total share capital of a listed company through the secondary market, it must notify the listed company and the regulatory commission, and the investor must issue an announcement for the sale or purchase of shares in the future.

Such a restriction will make Don Capital go directly from the dark to the light.

Don looked firm, "As long as someone on the stock market sells Apple stock, we will buy it!"

Scott hesitated: "Once our share capital exceeds 5% and the market announces that Down Pictures is eating Apple stock in large quantities, Apple's stock price is likely to rise significantly, and our investment costs will increase a lot." ”

Don smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "Scott, Apple is not Yahoo, I bought Apple stock, and I haven't thought about selling it for at least ten years." Go for it, and remember, the more Apple stocks, the better!"

……

Back in Los Angeles, Donn Pictures was happy because it received a huge injection of $1 billion, and it was also a good thing.

David has had three rounds of talks with Ann Lee and his agent, and Ann Lee loves The Chronicles of Narnia and is looking forward to making her name in such an epic fantasy masterpiece.

However, unlike the films that Donn previously produced, Ahn Lee is an aspiring director, and he is not willing to be manipulated by the producers, and he demands the power to change the script and recommend the main actors.

Don has previously explained that as long as Ann Lee agrees to direct "The Chronicles of Narnia", he can give him rights.

So David agreed to Ann Lee's request and offered a $2 million director's salary.

Dividends?

Non-existent!

Not to mention the current Ann Lee, even if he wins the Oscar for Best Director, he is not eligible for dividends. Unless the first Chronicles of Narnia was a huge success, Donn Pictures invited him to make a sequel.

As for the budget for the film, the answer given by the production department is between $120 million and $150 million.

"Bill, in my opinion, I can directly open a budget of $150 million, we are not short of money now, I need to make the movie "The Chronicles of Narnia" be brilliant enough and shocking enough!"

Next year, "Lord of the Rings 1" should be released, setting off a national sensation.

However, "The Lord of the Rings" is a film invested by New Line, and the capital is not enough, Peter Jackson tried his best to control the cost, and the pictures shot still have many imperfections.

In terms of storytelling and influence, "The Chronicles of Narnia" is far inferior to "The Lord of the Rings", and Don can only support it in terms of special effects.

Bill McNick didn't dispute the budget, "Donn, even though you're also the producer of The Chronicles of Narnia, we all know that you're just on a temporary basis, you're too busy. ”

Don smiled and said, "Isn't it David?"

Bill McNick shook his head repeatedly, "It's different, David has no experience in making big projects, and we can't risk a $150 million investment." ”

"What do you mean?"

"We need to find a Hollywood gold producer to lead this project!"

Done's heart moved, "Who?"

"Jerry Bruckheimer!" Bill McNick seems to trust this man, "In the past few years, he has produced commercial blockbusters that have been a lot of success, such as "Top Gun", "Jedi Men", "Death Island", "The Peerless Apocalypse", "Prison in the Sky", ......"

Donn paused for a moment and smiled: "Then let's do it, with Jerry Bruckheimer, David and Ann Lee, "The Chronicles of Narnia" is equivalent to having three insurances, I think I can quit this project." ”

"By the way, the director you fancy has agreed to join "Chainsaw". ”

"Zack Schneider?"

"Yes, I'm in Glenn's office, talking about movies. ”

Don was overjoyed and said, "Call him over...... Forget it, I'll go for myself. ”

……

The current Zack Schneider, 34 years old, has a beard. Dressed in a crisp suit, white dotted shirt, and red tie, he was sitting on the couch and talking to Glenn Morgan, the president of Rage Pictures.

Donn recognized him at a glance and walked over with a smile, "Zack Schneider?"

Zack Schneider was slightly stunned at first, and then stood up suddenly, his eyes straight, "Wo...... Mr. Walker?"

Don En smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "You're welcome, sit down, I heard you're here, come and have a look." ”

"Mr. Walker......"

"Just call me Donn. ”

"Okay, Donn, thank you for giving me this opportunity, I'm going to make Saw Horror a good one. ”

Don liked this kind of charcoal in the snow, and then was grateful to all kinds of big people, he smiled: "Zach, what do you think of the script?"

Zack Schneider complimented: "The script you wrote yourself must be very good." ”

Don glanced at him deeply, "I guess you can also see through the script, "Saw is a series, and this is only the first one." ”

Zack Schneider hurriedly said: "I will definitely make this movie series well!"

Donn shook his head, "Zach, I never thought of handing this series to you. ”

"Huh?"

Zack Schneider's face changed suddenly, disappointed and embarrassed.

Don immediately laughed and said, "You misunderstood, I mean...... I can't limit your talent to a low-budget horror film like "Chainsaw". ”

"You're ......"

"Zach, I appreciate the MTV and commercials you shoot, although it is only a few shots, I can feel your talent from the lens language. To tell you the truth, I already have a specific plan for your directorial career. ”

"Donn, I'm ......"

Zack Schneider didn't know what to say anymore, and he could tell that Donn was telling the truth. In fact, with the current disparity between the two, there was no need for Tang En to deceive him.

Don waved his hand magnificently, "Zach, your future...... It must be a mainstream film industry, it must be an A-level big production! But now, you need to make a few horror movies first. ”

Zack Schneider took a deep breath, "I see, Don, don't worry, I won't let you down!"
