Chapter 479 What is Investment Banking?

Sunset Boulevard is one of the most famous thoroughfares in Los Angeles, lined with towering palm trees and bustling with shops.

Especially from Echo Park all the way to Hollywood, at night, it's a haven for carnival and star-banging.

Think of the international superstars who have gone out of here and those who are desperately striving to become international superstars, or entering the speaker store along the street to flip through two old records, you can feel the strong traces of entertainment culture development.

When Li International and his entourage came to Hollywood, it was already November 10th, and they didn't have a fun tour under the tight schedule.

In fact, this year's American Film Institute Film Festival has begun, and it is now the tenth day.

The reason why Zhang Mou and others are only here now is because the film Golden Armor is arranged at the closing ceremony of the film festival, that is, the closing ceremony ten days later, which is the stage for Zhang Mou and Gong Lili to make their own brothers.

As the second largest investor of Golden Jia, Li International can receive an invitation is already very good, the film festival does not need to go, as long as he shows up at the reception.

So after arriving in Hollywood, Li International was idle, and the next morning, he struggled to overcome the disorder of the biological clock and went for a run.

As soon as he went out after washing, Li International was stretching his arms and kicking his legs to prepare for exercise, and when he looked up, he suddenly saw Li Qian in a black sweatshirt.

A headband ties the long hair back of the head, and the delicate and tight figure makes the sportswear set off vividly.

This Nizi is sitting on a motorcycle, holding one leg and squinting at the rising sun. I saw Li International come out. Stood up and walked in front of Li International. He smiled and said, "Morning, boss." ”

Li International Yile, I didn't expect Li Qian to get up so early.

As if to see Li International's thoughts, Li Qian explained while making preparations: "I didn't have much time when I used to go to work, so I would get up early to train. ”

"Training?" Li International was slightly stunned, Li Qian was talking about training rather than exercise.

Li Qian nodded. Say: "Training, high intensity. ”

Li International suddenly showed an eager expression and said, "You are an expert in this area, show me if I can bear it?" ”

Li Qian stretched out her hand and patted Li International's body, revealing a hint of surprise, then shook her head and said, "The foundation is good, but the foundation is too thin, and the boss is interested in fitness?" ”

Li International nodded and motioned to go out for a run?

Seeing Li Qian nodded. The two jogged away against the rising sun, and Li International said: "I have always been interested in fitness. But I don't have a place to go, and I don't have time to find a personal trainer. ”

As he spoke, he smiled and said, "You don't have to be able to exercise anything, just be able to get fit." ”

Li Qian looked at Li International with interest and said, "Then I'll try it and formulate a training plan for the boss." ”

Li International nodded, asked as he ran, and said, "What is your real strength?" ”

Li Qian hesitated slightly when she heard this, and replied: "Three well-trained knife-wielding gangsters. ”

This answer startled Li International, three, well-trained, and still holding a knife.

You must know that a well-trained gangster, even if he is unarmed, is afraid that he will not be able to face three strong men with knives.

In this way, Li Qian, a delicate little girl, can actually deal with nine men with knives with her bare hands?

Of course, maybe this is not right, but it is powerful enough, Li International has a sense of security for no reason, this person is unfamiliar with the place, with such a strong girl by his side, the safety factor is much higher, and he is practical.

After running, the two had a casual bite to eat in the hotel.

Li Qian was not interested in Western food, so she stopped after only eating a little, and sat on the side to watch the people coming and going.

Li International wiped his hands with a smile and asked, "Haven't you been out?" ”

Li Qian nodded and said: "I went out when I was on a mission, but I either drilled into the old forest or entered the Gobi Desert, and I never entered the metropolis, especially this kind of city that is famous all over the world." ”

Hollywood is indeed famous all over the world, and when it comes to movies, people will think of Hollywood at the first time, and it seems that they don't know when Hollywood's commercial blockbusters have become a brand.

When I had nothing to do, Li International chatted with Li Qian and said: "I am also the first time to come to Hollywood, it is said that this is dominated by boutiques, restaurants and night parties between Hollywood and Beverly Hills, and the Sunset Boulevard of Beverly Hills is flanked by million-dollar mansions of film and television stars and entertainment giants, the environment is good, the atmosphere is strong, you can walk around when you have time, the security environment here is notoriously good, don't worry about what accidents will happen to me." ”

Li Qian showed a look of interest and said: "Where film and television superstars and entertainment giants gather, the public security environment is definitely not the same, but a million-dollar mansion, is the entertainment industry really so profitable?" ”

Li International heard that Li Qian was actually interested in the entertainment industry, so he said: "The entertainment industry doesn't make money, it's people who make money, no matter what industry it is, a small part of them make money, and those who can live here are oligarchs in the industry." ”

Li Qian nodded thoughtfully and said, "Although I don't know about the entertainment industry, I've heard of it, it seems that the entertainment industry is actually controlled by investment banks, what is investment banking?" ”

Listening to Li Qian's words, Li International was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Li Qian, an outsider, to see the problem so thoroughly.

As for the issue of investment banks, in fact, most people do not know much about it, including Li International, he does not know much about the operation mode and capital flow of some large investment banks, as well as the grasp of the market.

However, if you don't understand, you don't understand, after such a long time of study, Li International can still answer this question.

He pointed to an apple in the bowl and said, "An apple costs five dollars, but if there is a spot on this apple, how do you sell it?" ”

Li Qian thought about it with interest and said, "Deal with the spots and sell them at a discount?" ”

Li International shook his head and said, "Peel and cut this apple into pieces and put it into a beautiful apple platter, and you can sell it for thirty pieces." ”

Hearing this, Li Qian wanted to refute, but think about the fruit platter in the restaurant, they are all very expensive, and they are all made of flawless fruits?

"This is investment banking?" Li Qian asked.

Li International nodded and said: "This is the investment bank, using the smallest means to achieve the greatest benefits, this is what the investment bank has to do." ”

Li Qian looked at the fruit on the table and said, "So, the entertainment star is the fruit in this fruit bowl?" ”

Although this analogy is a bit inappropriate, but in fact, this is what it is, Li International nodded and said, "Almost." ”

At this moment, a burst of applause came, and Zhang Mou stood behind Li International, and said with emotion: "It's to the point, I have gained knowledge." ”

Li International looked back and saw that it was Zhang Mou and his party, smiled, and said, "I'm smiling." ”

Zhang Mou and the others sat down and asked Li International: "Are you interested in going to the film festival?" (To be continued.) )
