"It's no secret. Clun nodded and said, "Hollywood knows about it. It's just that Zhang Fan just mortgaged the adaptation rights of his works, not that he couldn't afford to change the loan and was taken away by Citibank. What does that mean for us?"

Zhang Fan's works are just mortgages, not taken away by the bank. Before Zhang Fan was unable to repay the loan and interest, these things still belonged to him. Even if these people knew about it, it would be useless. If you want to get these film adaptation rights from Zhang Fan's hands in this way, you can only buy them from Citi after Zhang Fan's contract expires and he can't afford to change the loan. As for now, the news is not of much use.

"I have a friend who is a senior executive in the investment department of Citibank. The person who brought up the matter before continued: "When we went to sea for a party, I heard him talk about it when he talked about it, Zhang Fan invested a large amount of money in the gold futures market with a large amount of collateral. ”

Hollywood, Los Angeles, is home to almost all of the most beautiful women in North America and even the world. In order to maintain their luxurious life, these women are naturally more open than ordinary people. Many wealthy executives will choose to come here to party, and Disney executives are the best intermediaries. As for what kind of party it is, what kind of thing will happen after going to sea. Then only the person concerned will know.

"Huh?" At this moment, many high-level people who were originally not interested in this news instantly became energetic, and looked intently at the person who said this.

"I'm thinking, there's no way to hide the Chronicles of Narnia now. If you don't want to lose what you have now, you must divert the attention of shareholders with greater expected returns. This high-level model said his thoughts, "And for us now, the best choice is naturally the adaptation rights of those works in Zhang Fan's hands." If we can get the rights to adapt his works, everyone will only praise our abilities, and no one will pursue the Chronicles of Narnia. ”

"Is there any necessary connection between the two events?" Clone frowned. He had a vague feeling in his heart, but he couldn't believe it.

"That friend told me that Zhang Fan invested all his net worth in the gold futures market. The high-level said unhurriedly, "And he is long, buy up." ”

The people in the room were a little confused and didn't know what that meant. After all, there are many rich people here, but almost none of them have actually entered the futures market. They don't know what the point is.

"Now the main trend in gold futures prices in the international market is down. Most investors are buying short and short. The senior executive laughed, "I also invested some in it, so I know better." ”

This high-level executive also plays futures, and it is because of this incident that he became friends with the person from Citibank, and then learned about Zhang Fan.

"What the hell do you mean. The chairman of the board of directors said in a deep voice, "Say what you mean completely." ”

"Yes sir. The senior executive nodded and began to explain, "I think that since Zhang Fan violated the laws of the market to go long, it is very likely that he will lose a lot of money." By the time he doesn't take out the loan, the adaptation rights as collateral will belong to Citibank. ”

"Even if that's the case, it doesn't have to be that we got it. Clouen couldn't help but exclaim, "Which of these Hollywood companies is not staring at him? Even if we are Disney, we will not be able to get it." Not to mention taking them all. ”

"Haha~~~," the senior suddenly laughed, "We can make an agreement with Citibank first." It is agreed that once Zhang Fan loses money and has to pay the collateral, we have the right of first refusal. ”

"Are you the majority shareholder of Citibank?" said one person with immediate dissatisfaction, "why should people listen to you? They must be going to put it up for auction." Hollywood companies will go to participate. ”

"I'm not a major shareholder in Citibank, but I have a way to sign this limited option with Citibank. "We can enter the futures market through Citibank and invest in it, and use more concessions in terms of revenue sharing to Citibank to get the pre-emptive right we want." ”

Citibank has its own rules of operation, but you can't just say you want to have the right of first refusal. Even if you are really a major shareholder, it is difficult to do these things openly. The only way to do that is to give Citibank enough benefits to be able to impress them.

As soon as the high-level finished speaking, there was a low noise in the conference room. Everyone is eyeing Zhang Fan's adaptation rights, but the risk of entering the futures market is too great, and no one dares to draw conclusions easily.

The chairman of the board of directors has also been moved. But there are some hesitations and concerns in my heart. After all, they make movies, and it is a crazy adventure to rush into the extremely risky futures market. And this kind of thing must not be known to the public, it can only be done in secret. Once the incident happens, it's okay to make money, but once you lose money, then everyone here will be unlucky!

If you want to impress Citibank, you don't have to think about it if you don't invest much. However, if you invest more, the risk opportunities will rise sharply. It's a great opportunity, but it's hard to make up your mind.

"How is the gold futures market now?" asked Cloun, who had been watching coldly. It instantly captured everyone's attention.

"It's very relieving to say that. The senior executive laughed: "After Zhang Fan bought a huge forward contract, the price of gold in the international market has been falling. According to my launch and estimates, Zhang Fan's losses during this period have allowed him to fill in all the income of these movies released this year. Maybe that's not enough!"

"Wow~~~" A burst of exclamation suddenly sounded in the conference room.

Each of Zhang Fan's movies is a big hit. The income is so good that people's eyes are red. But now all these gains are lost in the futures market. These people in the room were gloating and at the same time frightened by the huge risks of the futures market.

"We can sign a contract with Citibank and invest in the gold futures market to buy and sell short. "Most of the executive's own net worth has been invested in this market. At this time, the company is also insuring itself by advising on this. After all, the more money you have to go short, the more likely you are to beat the long.

"As for the return, it is that we can obtain the right of first refusal of Zhang Fan's collateral. The high-level didn't finish his words, and then threw out a very tempting bait: "As far as I know, Zhang Fan seems to have mortgaged Pixar this time." ”

"Wow~~~" The conference room was noisy again.

Pixar was thrown out of their hands and was considered a lifelong disgrace by these people. They were all thinking about taking Pixar back from Zhang Fan's hands all the time. But Zhang Fan's career is developing well, and he can't see this kind of hope at all.

But at this time, a great opportunity is in front of us. As long as they can beat Zhang Fan in the futures market, so as to win Zhang Fan's right of first refusal to buy the collateral, then they will really make a lot of money.

Needless to say, Pixar, the leader of the animated film industry, is of absolute significance to Disney. And there are also the adaptation rights of Zhang Fan's works, each of which is a big IP and full of gold mines. And Zhang Fan's film company is also a coveted good thing. Once the rights to a number of box office blockbusters are obtained, Disney can almost instantly become the most powerful film company in Hollywood, and there is no one.

The prospect was so rosy that it even made the people in the room a little fluttering. They enthusiastically discussed the futures market, and even began to discuss how to reorganize Zhang Fan's film company, how to shoot Zhang Fan's, how to restructure Pixar, and so on. It's as if they're Hollywood bosses now.

After all, this opportunity in front of us looks so good. Zhang Fan looked like he was about to lose everything, and they could easily take over everything that Zhang Fan had at this time. Even if you don't even have to worry about the money you need to buy these things, the money you make from the futures market may be enough for them to buy them.

After taking everything that Zhang Fan has at this time, the impact caused by the Chronicles of Narnia will definitely not be mentioned by anyone again. Because the new harvest they have obtained is equivalent to a pair of wings for Disney!

And in this jubilant atmosphere, some people couldn't help but say against it: "This prospect is indeed very good, but can we definitely win?"

The originally noisy and lively conference room immediately fell silent. Many people are looking at each other. Indeed, although I have not entered this market, I still know the basic information. Sudden changes in the futures market are a common thing, and if this investment fails, the whole Disney will fall into a huge crisis!

"It's a good idea. But the risk is too great. It was Clounn, who was a very steady man, who spoke out against it: "The investment in the futures market is huge, and if we want to enter, we must invest a lot of money. But Disney simply doesn't have that much liquidity. It can only be the use of collateral. And the collateral can only be our company, your shares. But if the investment fails, and the price of gold does not continue to fall but rises, we may lose our company!"

"Hiss~~~" This dangerous prospect instantly calmed down the shareholders who were still excited before. They were stunned to find that things didn't seem to be as simple as they imagined.

"Opportunities are in front of us, and if you lose nature, you won't be there. The previous executive, who had encouraged everyone, continued to preach "There is a risk in doing anything, and there is no risk in making a movie? Isn't the failure of the Narnia saga a risk? Now it's very simple." Do it, it is possible to win everything. If you don't do it, someone needs to come out and take responsibility. ”
