Chapter 130: The richest man is predetermined
Lin Zekai couldn't help but stretch out his finger and put down his glasses: "You're not joking, are you?" Paramount was picked up by you? ”
"Of course. www.biquge.info"Zhou Yu said: "I'm full, I'm making such a joke with you?" ”
"That's just as well." Lin Zekai touched his nose.
Then he wondered: "Since Paramount is all yours, one of the six giants, is there still a filmmaker?" Do you need to find it from Xiangjiang? To be honest, on the other side of Xiangjiang, or on the mainland, I am afraid that there is no better filmmaker than Paramount Filmmakers. ”
"I know that." Zhou Yu smiled, but said: "If I only make commercial blockbusters, or Western-style movies, of course I don't need filmmakers from Daxia." ”
"Oh!" Although Zhou Yu didn't explain what he said, Lin Zekai understood.
It's not a Western-style movie, and you have to find a filmmaker from Daxia, so it's obvious that it's clearly preparing to make a movie with the oriental style background of Daxia! In this regard, Paramount's filmmakers are, of course, not as good as those in Great Xia.
Born and raised.
However, he was even more puzzled: "By the way, don't you want to make money when you start Paramount?" There is no market for Bactria style movies in the United States. ”
"Making money comes second." Zhou Yu smiled: "Am I missing that?" How much does a movie cost? 100 million? Two hundred million? It's nothing to me. I don't care if I lose or earn. ”
Then he said leisurely: "I read the historical records a few days ago and saw the biography of General Wei's hussars, and suddenly wanted to shoot it. I don't care if Americans understand the feelings of Zhuxia contained in it, but I just want to shoot. Moreover, I will make more films in this area in the future to show more people the style of Zhuxia civilization and share my feelings. What is a loss, a loss of one billion, two billion a year, I can afford to lose. Year after year, ten or twenty years later, subtly, hehe..."
Lin Ze opened his mouth wide.
Then give a thumbs up: "You cow!" I, Lin Zekai, have opened this life, even if I am Lao Tzu, I don't admire him. I admire you right now! ”
"It's a big deal!" He exclaimed: "If you are asked to do this, in ten or twenty years, ten billion two hundred billion dollars of swords will be scattered, and it may really be possible." Maybe at that time, the original Daxia culture will bloom everywhere! Zhou Sheng, you are a good example! ”
Zhou Yu laughed: "Although I am an American citizen, I am like you, and my blood is the blood of Zhuxia." Why is Zhuxia culture so declining now? It's not that our culture and civilization are not good enough, it's that no one does it! ”
"The main thing is that the investment is too big." Lin Ze opened his sentence, and then sighed slightly: "This is the society of the commodity economy... Like those who do media in China, what people care about is making money, who cares about your cultural communication? They don't care about anything as long as they can make money. So, I say I admire you. Only you have this ability! ”
After a pause, he said, "I hope I, Lin Zekai, can see this scene in my lifetime." He suddenly laughed, full of longing: "If Chinese can replace English as the mainstream of the world, if benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith can become the new faith of whites and blacks, then, when I die, I may die laughing to death." ”
"It's not that easy." Zhou Yu shook his head slightly, and looked up at the sky: "Unless Great Xia can quickly become strong enough to match the status of the Han and Tang Dynasties in the world at that time, otherwise, I am only doing this for comfort, and the movie is not all, and it cannot represent the entire Zhuxia civilization." Only in a subtle way, it may have a facilitating effect. ”
Lin Zekai nodded silently.
The two of them spoke in Chinese, so Hank and Aishara next to them didn't understand. Although Hank and Esshara also knew some Chinese because of the need to contact Zhou Yu, they spoke it too quickly for them to understand.
And Zhou Yu and Lin Zekai were sad and sad, immersed in their own world, and they didn't explain. As a result, the atmosphere became quiet.
After a while, Zhou Yu said slowly: "Lin Sheng, I want you to find someone for me, and he must have a considerable understanding of the culture of Zhuxia." For example, my first step is to shoot the deeds of the champion Hou Huo's illness, so I want to put him on the screen in its original form related to the characteristics of that era. Dress, etiquette, way of speaking, etc. I'm not going to around like those garbage movies in China. ”
"It's not easy for you." Lin Ze laughed and said, "Such a person must be at least an expert in history. It's hard to find. ”
"Then I don't care." Zhou Yu smiled and said: "Lin Sheng, if you don't want to find it for me, be careful that I cut the supply next time." ”
"Well, you can't do that." Lin Zekai shouted: "One yard to one yard, you are threatening me!" ”
His eyes widened.
"It's a threat, how's that!" Zhou Yu laughed.
"Okay." Lin Zekai also laughed: "You are the boss, you have the final say." Then he said: "There must be experts in this area." Especially some old experts, if they use the reason to make money, I am afraid they will not be invited. But with the reason of spreading the culture of Zhuxia, they will definitely agree! ”
"Thank you!" Zhou Yu laughed, bowed his hand as an ancient salute, and bowed slightly.
"You—" Aishara looked inexplicably "what are you doing?" ”
Zhou Yu straightened up: "I'm talking to Lin Zheng about making a movie." ”
"Making a movie?" Aishara blinked, "Oh, I see. Paramount is yours now! "She knows about it, too.
The Walton family, after all, is still extraordinary. Maybe I don't know the specific situation, but Viacom changed hands, and it should still be understood.
"Yes." Zhou Yu smiled.
But the movie or something, Ishshara and Hank were not interested, so they didn't mention much. The conversation soon shifted to the fruit business.
"Zhou, your farm, this year's total production, far exceeds last year's. And the price continues to rise, have you ever thought about how many Franklins will come in this year? Hank said: "I estimate, say less than 30 billion!" ”
"More than that." Aishara pondered: "Zhou's farm, this year's planting area is four times that of last year!" Moreover, Hank's output of bananas and pineapples in the spring was also more than two percent higher than last year. Even if the 20,000 acres of land bought by Zhou Xin cannot be compared with the new district and the old district this year, it will certainly not be too little. Let me make a calculation, based on last year, the output value of the old area of Yuyin Farm this year, because of the increase in production and price, was more than 12 billion last year, right? So this year, let's talk less about 20 billion, right? The new first district has been completely on the right track this year, and the same area is not comparable to this year's old district, but compared with last year's old district, it shouldn't be bad, right? Count 12 billion. There are more than 30 billion here. And then the new second district, only half of the new first district, six billion, then, close to four billion. Together with the fishing grounds, the total output value should be 40 billion. ”
"Four tens of billions of dollars!"
Hank's tone is exaggerated!
"Shhh Lin Zekai on the side gasped: "The total output value of 40 billion US dollars... Zhou Sheng, although this output value is not comparable with many multinational groups, even if they have a total output value of 100 billion or 200 billion, the real profit may not be higher than yours! You only need to pay taxes, and the rest, there is almost no loss. In other words, 40 billion, the net profit you get, even if you cut it in half, there will be 20 billion! ”
He looked at Zhou Yu with envy and hatred: "Zhou Sheng, what should I say about you?" Look at you, it's okay all day long, accompanied by beautiful women, reading books, carving, going to sea to play or something, you have such a big family business. I, Lin Zekai, have been busy for a year, and my hair has fallen out, and I have only been worth more than 4 billion US dollars for many years, and equity real estate accounts for the majority. I'm jealous of you! ”
Zhou Yu smiled and said proudly: "Then you should be jealous...", and then said: "But Lin Sheng, the United Fruit Trading Company is up, this year's Forbes, your position, should be mentioned." ”
"It's still a sugar daddy with a future." Lin Zekai said this.
"And that's just the profit of the farm itself."
Aishara said, "St. Mary's, United Fruit Trading, and Zhou are the largest shareholders. This year's turnover of St. Mary's will definitely exceed last year's, and last year seems to be 189 billion, right? There should be 30 billion this year, right? Perhaps, according to Hank's price increase model, in the end, it should be possible to exceed this number. Pure profits, not 10 billion, but 8 or 9 billion. Thirty percent of the week is here. And Mr. Lin, your joint trade, don't say too much, there should be five or six billion, Zhou accounts for forty percent of the equity, right, here is about two or three billion. ”
"Is this the net worth of the week being calculated?" Hank chuckled: "Then you have to add Lockheed, Northrop and SpaceX." This year, I am afraid that the cash in hand will exceed 30 billion. Considering the value of the farm itself and the equity value of each company, I think Zhou may have the possibility of becoming the richest man. ”
"By the way, Paramount!" Aishara said suddenly.
"The richest man." Zhou Yu pouted: "I should have bought Forbes magazine, I don't want to hang it in the magazine and look like a monkey." ”
The rest of them were speechless.
In fact, Hank's calculation is still lower than the amount of wealth that Zhou Yu really has.
Cash, it's probably the same as they say. And the potential, because of Zhou Yu's concealment, they are not clear. For example, in addition to the other 1.5 percent of the shares in Lockheed, East Trakker has also invested in other companies, which are worth about three or four billion yuan in bits and pieces. After all, Zhou Yuguang has invested more than 300 million in cash. Coupled with the 15 percent stake in Citigroup, it is another big fortune.
The farm was valued at 15 billion by Forbes last year, because the output value is more than 12 billion, which is a slight increase. But this year, the output value of farms can exceed 30 billion, and the valuation is less than 35 billion or even 40 billion. Coupled with the equity value of various companies, Zhou Yu may really surpass Gates, the world's richest man last year.
You must know that Gates is only worth 75 billion US dollars.
In fact, thinking of these, Zhou Yu himself felt a little incredible.
How long has it been?
How old is he? It's incredible that you have such wealth.
But in the blink of an eye, thinking of the jade seal ball, Zhou Yu's heart calmed down. Without this magical thing, Zhou Yu would not have been able to have his current wealth for ten or a hundred lifetimes. (To be continued.) )
