"What do we make money for, Jeremy. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info It's not about improving our lives, you don't have to worry too much, we just need to hide until the film is released, and if it works out and we don't have friends to share it with, what's the point of being the richest man in the world?" Sid said with a smile and patted Jeremy on the shoulder.

As Jeremy and Amy Adams laughed, the female advisor finally walked back with the phone, "I'm sorry to keep you waiting, Mr. Leon." We do have a luxury home here that might fit your requirements. ”

Sid nodded and motioned for her to continue.

The female consultant pulled her long hair and said very quickly: "Now in the West Hollywood Hills, there is a newly listed luxury villa that is open for sale. This mansion covers an area of more than 2,000 square meters, and the villa itself has two floors above ground and one floor underground, a total of 920 square meters of residential area, and has been named 'Sunset Villa' by the designer, are you interested?"

"Sunset Villa? Sid smiled and touched his chin, "So what are we waiting for? ”

――――――――――――――――――――

This luxury house, designed by Los Angeles' newest design studio, is located in the West Hollywood hills. The Hollywood Hills is the hill where the world-famous "HOLLY WOOD" sign is located, but the "HOLLY WOOD" sign is located in the East Hollywood Hills facing east.

The West Hollywood Hills, facing the Pacific Ocean, are quiet and mysterious as there are not too many Hollywood stars living in them yet. However, it is no worse than other luxury residential areas in Los Angeles, on the contrary, because of its excellent location and living environment, it has been regarded by the real estate industry as the next hot high-end luxury residential area in Los Angeles.

When the group drove to the "Sunset Villa", there was already another agent waiting.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Leon, Miss Adams, Mr. Reina. Now it's up to me to serve you. The real estate agent in a dark suit smiled mildly.

"Allow me to introduce you to 'Sunset Villas', the jewel of the Peak of West Hollywood. He walked ahead and led Sid and the others to tour the entire villa.

Located at the top of West Hollywood Hill, this mansion is uniquely located and is called the "Sunset Villa" because of its prominent position in the Hollywood Hills, facing the world-famous Sunset Boulevard and stretching as far as the eye can see.

Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows on the second floor, you can perfectly overlook the magnificent landscape that stretches for dozens of kilometers from downtown Los Angeles to Catalina Island in the distance. Whether it's the high-rise buildings of Century City or the magnificent coastline of the Pacific Ocean, you can see it all and step on it.

This time, even Sid couldn't help but nod in satisfaction.

Looking at the shocked or satisfied expressions of the three people, the agent immediately smiled and introduced: "This 'Sunset Villa' includes an ultra-luxurious master suite, five bedroom suites, six en-suite bathrooms and a full bathroom. There is also an entertainment room for a home theater. Needless to say, there is a full-light living room, an open-plan kitchen, a luxurious cloakroom, a dedicated meeting room and an office area. ”

"There is also a dedicated underground garage on the basement level, which is enough to park eight cars. On the first floor, facing Sunset Boulevard, there is also a beautiful infinity hot spring pool. The agent pointed in the direction of the downstairs and said, and the three of them found that the courtyard on the first floor at their feet was an avant-garde and simple design, with an infinity boom pool protruding from the top of the cliff.

"This, so high, won't there be any danger. Amy Adams asked, looking at the towering pool and observation deck with some trepidation.

"Oh, no, Miss Adams, we have set up fall arrest nets on the side facing the cliff, and all the design and construction of the 'Sunset Villas' meet the strictest safety standards, and there are absolutely no safety issues. The agent quickly explained.

"In addition, on the inside of the mountain, we also have standard tennis and basketball courts for sports and leisure. The agent led the group to the back and pointed to the sports field in the distance.

"Oh, you've thought it through. Sid said unexpectedly.

"Of course, it is our pursuit to provide the most comprehensive and high-quality service to top customers. The agent immediately said humbly.

"The Sunset Villa not only has great views and avant-garde design, but also pursues the ultimate and most comfortable quality in the details. All the stonework here is Baltic stone brought from Northern Europe, composite stone with an echo effect, oak floors and cedar wood ceilings, terrazzo floors are used in the bathrooms. There are also stone fireplaces both indoors and outdoors, so you can enjoy a warm environment at any time of year. The agent led Sid and the three of them to walk in the "Sunset Villa", and gave a detailed introduction while visiting.

Standing on the observation deck with a panoramic view of the city and the Pacific Ocean, Side suddenly felt a sense of pride rising from his chest to see the mountains and mountains!

"Very well, how much does it cost here?"

"The sale price of the 'Sunset Villa' is $18 million, with fees and taxes included, Mr. Leon. The agent replied humbly.

"Wow!" Amy Adams immediately exclaimed in surprise, "such an exaggeration?" "The price is more than four times higher than the luxury apartment in Century City, Los Angeles.

"Miss Adams, this mansion was listed for $20 million in the first half of this year, and now it has dropped quite a bit. "And as the most avant-garde mansion in Los Angeles, the 'Sunset Villa' was designed and built by the design studio as a template for a new style mansion in the 21st century, and everything is based on the future." ”

Sid tapped lightly on the metal railing and smiled with satisfaction: "I have a natural affinity for this place, and it seems that its owner can only be me." ”

The agent didn't expect Sid to make a decision so quickly, and usually even a wealthy man who buys a luxury house will make a decision after many investigations.

"You can contact Spencer Kent of Wells Fargo to settle the payment, so when can we move in?" Sid asked, nodding.

"Once I'm done processing the transaction with Wells Fargo tomorrow, you'll be ready to move in. The agent said respectfully.

When Sid left the Hollywood Hills with Jeremy and Amy Adams satisfied, the two of them were still a little brisk, and the two friends still couldn't believe that the $18 million mansion had been decided in just three words.

――――――――――――――――――――

The efficient negotiators team of Baker Martin and Wells Fargo quickly made takeover offers to Bertha Pictures and Dazzling Entertainment after Sid set the takeover policy.

At the same time, in order to more comprehensively evaluate the value of the real intangible assets of the two film companies - the film rights in their hands, Ali Emmanuel even hired a professional Hollywood producer to act as an asset appraiser.

Among them, Bertha Films is very fortunate to have a new investor to take over so soon, while Dazzling Entertainment is in the shadow period after the box office failure, and it is fortunate and a certain degree of fear about the acquisition.

But for the two companies, where the status quo is already so bad that there is no way back, their mood does not really have any impact on the situation.

So after a series of bargains and ramps that were necessary in Hollywood negotiations, the final deal was agreed for $4.9 million for Bertha Pictures and $16.2 million for Dazzling Entertainment.

And this is the price after the parts they don't need (departments, people, other assets) are separated and packaged, and the corresponding costs are offset.

In the end, including the negotiation team's commission, the entire acquisition cost exactly $30 million.

But on the other hand, Sid finally got his first company of his own, and this will be the starting point for everything to change, he believes in his heart.

On this day, in a commercial office building in Pasadeno, East Los Angeles, in the headquarters office of Bertha Films, Sean was slightly nervous and looked up at Henry, the production manager of Dazzling Entertainment Company, who was sitting opposite him.

Henry is a veteran Hollywood producer of Mexican descent, and the two usually know each other's nodding acquaintances, but they obviously didn't expect to meet on an occasion like today.

Today is the day of the acquisition signing, and when the dust settles on the acquisition agreement, Sean is suddenly told that the big boss behind the scenes has not only bought one of their production companies, but another dazzling entertainment company is also the target of the other party's hunt. And today's signing, the boss actually arranged them together willfully.

But none of this has much to do with him, because the two important roles to be signed today, the two former bosses of Bertha Films and Dazzling Entertainment, are sitting at the top, slightly anxiously waiting for the arrival of the acquisition team.
