Chapter 1071: The Farm
Chapter 1071 Farm
……
Although all the media have long guessed that after MGM is acquired, there is likely to be a big move. But I didn't expect that the action would be so big as soon as it came up, and although it was not the most in Hollywood, the bold investment of $800 million was definitely not a small number! Only giants such as Disney and Warner could compare.
Looking at the bustle of the audience and the raised arms of Qi Brush, Ivanka first clicked on the reporter of Newsweek, who already belonged to her own!
The first male reporter to get the right to interview said to Ivanka happily: "May I ask Miss Ivanka, are you now the president of MGM Pictures?"
"Yes!"
"What is it that got you to where you are? After all, you've just graduated from college and you've never worked in a film industry before?"
I don't know if this guy was kicked in the brain by a donkey, or because he found a new job and was about to resign from Newsweek, he dared to ask the boss about this kind of topic!
Being questioned by her own people, Ivanka is, of course, angry. However, in full view, she must maintain the company's image, and she must not live up to the trust of her lover!
"Although I have just graduated from college now, I have been the vice president of New Line Pictures for half a year, and I am no stranger to the management industry, so I believe that managing MGM Pictures is a big challenge for me, but I believe that I can do this position!"
After saying with a serious expression, Ivanka said in a loud voice: "Next!"
The male reporter who lost the opportunity to interview was a little annoyed, but the security guard next to him was waiting for him. He had to obey the order of the venue.
This time, Ivanka was pointed out by a man in his thirties. A middle-aged woman with short hair!
"Miss Ivanka. What made you choose to work with Marvel Entertainment?"
"It's simple, because I see the future of comic book adaptations, the Spider-Man movie adaptation by Sony Columbia Pictures, with a global box office of more than $800 million, already says a lot!" said Ivanka.
"What are the three movies that MGM Pictures will cooperate with Marvel Entertainment in the future?"
"I think Mr. Perlmut has more say on this issue than I do! As the president of Marvel Entertainment, he understands the future of every comic!"
Ivanka's words fell, and Ike Perlmut grabbed the microphone. Then he shouted in front of everyone's eyes: "We will work with MGM Pictures to bring the most famous and popular heroes of Marvel Comics, "Iron Man", "Captain America" and "Thor" to the big screen in the next one to two years!"
At the moment, Ike Perlmut looks confident. Although he lost his controlling stake after selling the company to Liu Dong, he was satisfied to see those famous heroes accumulated by Marvel over the decades on the big screen and be known by more people!
Moreover, Liu Dong has a lot of money. As well as MGM Pictures' mature distribution system and loyal fans cultivated over the years, it has reduced a lot of trouble for the release of Marvel Entertainment's comic book movies!
Now Ike Perlmut has the urge to do something big.
At this time. Liu Dong, who was in the background, looked at the monitor and Ivanka talked eloquently to reporters across the United States without the slightest nervousness, and at the same time he was relieved, he also nodded with satisfaction.
Handing over Matrix Media to the other party is really the right choice!
In this way, he will be relieved!
Because the time of the Royal Aix Jockey Club is approaching, Liu Dong did not stay in Los Angeles for too long, and after helping Ivanka take over all the business of Matrix Media, he flew to Vancouver again!
Now, nearly a year later, the road has been repaired to Liu Dong's farm! And on the edge of the largest lake in the valley, a villa of more than 1,000 square meters has risen from the ground.
In the midsummer of July, looking at the surrounding green mountains and green waters, as well as the cattle and sheep eating leisurely on the grass, Liu Dong riding on the black wind horse felt a rare comfort and leisure!
Idyllic, chasing horses, a life of pride, relaxed and leisurely without losing fun, makes Liu Dong, who has just lived here for less than two days, so fond of it. If he could, he would like to stay here for the rest of his life, herding herds, raising flowers, planting some vegetables every day, and then strolling through the picturesque scenery with his beloved, telling each other about their feelings. I'm afraid anyone will yearn for this kind of life.
"It's a pity that it's far from the time when I can let go of everything and retire to the countryside!"
After sighing in his heart, Liu Dong clamped his legs between the horse's belly, and after the neighing of the smart black wind, he carried Liu Dong along the winding road in the valley towards the outside of the valley.
Today's 'Black Wind', an extremely divine horse fed by Liu Dong's various pills, has reached 180cm in height at the shoulders, more than 250cm in length of the head and tail, hard hooves with a big bowl mouth, strong limbs, black and shiny hair, running like a black whirlwind, and the speed is not inferior to that of the tiger and leopard!
In less than half an hour, he carried Liu Dong to the outside of Uncle Long's ranch.
When Liu Dong led Hei Feng into the courtyard of Uncle Long's villa, he saw Uncle Long sitting under the grape trellis at a glance, and Old Jack, the original owner of Hei Feng!
After watching Liu Dong lead the horse in, the two also walked over with a smile.
Looking at the tall and majestic Black Wind who was held in his hand by Liu Dong, Old Jack couldn't help but sigh: "Liu, handing over Charlie (Hei Feng's original name) to you is really a wise choice, and now it is stronger than before!"
"Speaking of which, thank you very much, if you hadn't raised it so well since you were a child, I wouldn't have gotten such an outstanding BMW 'Black Wind' now!" Liu Dong said.
Old Jack, who smiled smugly under Liu Dong's compliment, took out a document from the black package he was carrying and handed it to Liu Dong!
"This is the check-in formalities I did for Charlie, take a look!"
Because it is necessary to go to the United Kingdom to compete, the plane is an indispensable means of transportation, but Liu Dong's private jet cannot fit the black wind, so he can only turn to those specialized large cargo planes. Because of the prevalence of equestrianism in Europe and the United States, there are not a few planes that specialize in carrying horses.
After Liu Dong took the information and read it, he didn't feel that there was anything wrong!
"Do you need my signature later?" said Liu.
"Yes, after all, you are Charlie's master now!" said Old Jack after glancing at Black Wind with a little wistfulness.
Liu Dong understands his thoughts, and he once gave his favorite things to others, and when he sees them again, he will naturally feel some feelings.
After all, man is still an emotional animal!
"That's it!"
After handing the document to Old Jack, the other party took it and looked at it and nodded.
"Then I'll take Charlie to the consignment now!" said Old Jack.
In this regard, Liu Dong did not object, now there are less than ten days left before the Royal Eskojockey Club, and it is time to transport the black wind over!
After Liu Dong nodded, Old Jack grabbed the reins of the black wind and did not ride on, but walked back to his farm.
Fortunately, the other party raised Hei Feng since he was a child, coupled with Liu Dong's orders, otherwise Hei Feng could directly kick Old Jack away with one hoof, let alone go with him now!
After the person and the horse left, Uncle Long, who had been standing on the side and didn't talk much, patted Liu Dong on the shoulder, "Let's go, let's go into the house and sit!"
"Hmm!"
After nodding, Liu Dong followed Uncle Long into the villa.
The interior of the villa is still a traditional Chinese layout, with a delicate and quaint central hall, plus wooden tables and chairs, which gives it a little more flavor of the Ming and Qing literati residences.
After walking to the reception room next to the living room, Uncle Long made a pot of tea, and the two sat down opposite each other on the sofa.
Then Uncle Long took out a few checks from his trouser belt and put them in front of Liu Dong.
"Uncle Long, ...... this?"
Picking up two Canadian Imperial Bank cash checks with 28 million Canadian dollars and 18.98 million Canadian dollars written on them respectively, Liu Dong's face showed a trace of stunned!
"That is more than the money spent after buying cattle and sheep for you the year before last and building the farm road. The next is the wheat and soybeans on your farm this year, as well as some of the money earned from the sale of cattle and sheep, all handed over to you!" Uncle Long said.
After listening, Liu Dong also reacted.
When he bought Valley Farm, he left $120 million to buy calves, sheep, chickens and pigs, as well as wheat and soybean seeds, plus road repairs!
Because Liu Dong was busy with his own affairs and didn't have much time in Vancouver, he left the money in Uncle Long's hands at that time and asked him to help take care of the farm, and now it seems that the money has not been spent!
If this money is easy to understand, then with nearly 20 million farm income left, Liu Dong is more incomprehensible!
"Uncle Long, aren't all the soybeans on my farm fed to pigs? Cattle and sheep have only been raised for less than a year, can they have such a high income if they are just wheat?" Liu Dong asked.
"You forget, when you bought Old Hart's farm, he left all the cattle and sheep in it for you!"
Listening to Uncle Long's reminder, Liu Dong suddenly patted his forehead and remembered.
When he bought the valley farm, he also bought the 6,500-acre farm of old Hart, which was closest to him outside the valley, along with the cattle, sheep, wheat and soybeans and other crops on the farm.
"Uncle Long, why don't you keep this money first, I don't often stay on the farm, if you encounter something urgent and need money, you can use this money!" Liu Dong said.
"Hehe, no, the farm is engaged in agriculture and animal husbandry, not a company, and you have to beware of financial crises and fraud. As long as it is not a once-in-a-century natural disaster, it will generally not lose money, and it can ensure a balance at the very least, so it doesn't need so much money!"
And after listening, Liu Dong didn't insist. (To be continued.) )
