Chapter 1227 - A Lot of Gold
As Princess Madeleine's life secretary and administrative assistant, she knows Guo Zhuocheng's relationship with her boss, and she also knows that Guo Zhuocheng is the biggest boss of the IIC company, and she also knows that many of the actions of the IIC company are directed by this young man behind the scenes.
On the surface, the IIC company and the honest investment bank are all in charge of Princess Madeleine, and she is invincible in the business and financial circles, and Princess Madeleine has also become a world-famous rich man and a famous business tycoon, and is admired by countless people, but as an assistant, she knows that although Princess Madeleine is smart and has high business ability, her success, at least the success of the IIC company and the integrity investment bank, has more than 80% of the credit to Guo Zhuocheng and the boss behind the scenes.
Without Guo Zhuocheng's behind-the-scenes command, the IIC company would not have developed so fast, the honest investment bank would not have been able to make every investment, and the returns of the two companies would not have been so high. These two companies are now simply gold absorbers, and both companies can be ranked in the top 10 in the world in terms of profits, and have become giants in the business world.
The materials she selected were reported by China, the United States, the Soviet Union, and other major countries.
At present, the special envoys of the United States and the Soviet Union are operating in China, and the purpose of the United States' activities is, of course, to hope that China will support the United States in using force against Grenada and hope that China will increase its assistance to the Afghan resistance groups. The Soviet Union's activities, on the other hand, aimed at hoping that China would firmly oppose the use of force by the United States against Grenada and reduce its assistance to the Afghan resistance.
Regarding the US invasion of Grenada, Guo Zhuocheng did not ask his superiors too much to give him more information, anyway, this matter is Grenada and Cuba uniting against the United States, who loses and who wins is someone else's business, and it is of course good that the United States can lose even more, if it can't. It doesn't matter if he is a Chinese, anyway, it must be more tragic than the war in his previous life, and that's it.
He is now more concerned about whether the IIC company can take advantage of the change in the situation to make money in this war.
Judging from the beginning, this time it was a success, because Qi Peng said a lot of cruel words, causing people to over-interpret, and a strong earthquake occurred in the world financial market, which was already tense, and the IIC company made a lot of money in the futures market, and last night Princess Madeleine asked her assistant to notify the investment department of the headquarters to implement the next move, which was actually to deliver all the original bearish futures orders. Put all the money you earn in your pocket. At the same time, it also buys long orders for stock index futures of several major international stock markets, and also carries out corresponding operations on gold futures and grain futures.
The reason why Guo asked Princess Madeleine to issue this order was because he knew that China would reach an agreement with the US envoy who came to mediate, and that China would appropriately lower the tone of its condemnation of the United States and acquiesce in the US military action against Grenada. to deepen the friendship between China and the United States, and to repay the United States for its support to China when it launched the Sino-Vietnamese border war.
Before China launched the border war against Vietnam, the supreme chief had visited the United States and reached a tacit understanding with the United States, and at the same time warned the Soviet Union in disguise: China is punishing Vietnam in the south, and you Soviet Union had better be honest, otherwise China and the United States will unite against them.
So much so that in the war in which China punished Vietnam. The Soviet Union only condemned and protested in a loud voice, and did not send troops from the north to help Vietnam like the alliance treaty signed between the Soviet Union and Vietnam, but only provided a large number of weapons to this betrayed little friend and little chess piece.
Now is the time for the United States to demand that China reciprocate, and China will push the boat with the flow.
This is a situation that is unique in this lifetime. In the previous life, because the United States was strong and China was weak, they invaded Grenada without notifying China, let alone asking China for help.
Guo Zhuocheng knows. As long as China declares to the outside world that it will not interfere in the internal affairs of other countries, and declares that China calls on both sides to calm down and sit down at the negotiating table. If China is willing to contribute to mediation between the two sides, then the world will settle down and the storm in the financial markets will subside, regardless of whether the United States will do it or not.
This is because people know that if the United States really does something against Grenada, and China does not support Grenada and Cuba, the US military can solve the problem and occupy Grenada lightly, and the Caribbean region will become quiet because of the heavy blow to the anti-American forces, and the world will be harmonious.
In this case, the stock markets of various countries that plummeted a few days ago ushered in a "good" because of the release of risks, that is, the "boots have landed" as the stock market stock folklore called, so it is inevitable that there will be a retaliatory rebound, and there will be a new wave of rise.
IIC has made a lot of money from the previous plunge and wants to make money from this rally. As for other institutions and retail investors that follow the trend, they can only be cannon fodder. The smart and lucky ones may just sit in a sedan chair and maintain a state of not losing money or making profits, while those who are stupid and unlucky will not simply vomit blood, and may have to jump off the building after cutting the flesh.
While Guo was eating "breakfast", the three managers of Universal Pictures' distribution department also received the attendance rate of "The Sinking of the Haiyan", and they talked about it very casually.
"Hehe, I knew that their movies were the same as other foreigners' films. What's the use of being better? What's the use of advertising more, that is, more than 10 percent attendance. This time, we were able to reach 13 percent attendance, which is already very lucky. An older manager said with a smile.
A manager in a blue suit said: "The maximum attendance rate is 23 percent, which is still some way from a quarter, and I estimate that their attendance will be around 20 percent in the next few days." β
A young manager said: "This time they spent a lot of money, for "The Sinking of the Petrel" to buy the Maple Leaf Film Distribution Company, it seems that no country or company has the courage to do so." The IIC company is really bold, and this time they are bound to win. ......, it's a shame that if this Maple Leaf Film Distribution Company were to be acquired by us, we would be able to do that, and most of the theaters they own are in good locations. β
Although this manager is the youngest, he is the fattest, and he is also the person in charge of negotiating with director Pedro, and he has been angry about the acquisition of Maple Leaf Film Distribution Company by IIC in the past few days.
The old manager said, "Don't worry, we still have a chance." Judging from the current situation, it is very likely that IIC will sell this company, if "The Sinking of the Petrel" cannot achieve the expected effect this time. Maybe when we buy it, the price will be lower. IIC's main business has nothing to do with movies at all, and it is impossible to distract from the profits of movies. I heard that the Maple Leaf Film Distribution Company not only has not changed the name of the company, but even the management inside has not changed, and it is still the original team, which shows that the senior management of the IIC company is not much interested in this company, it belongs to the nature of playing tickets, just remote control, and when the time comes, it will be sold when you get tired of playing. β
The manager in the blue suit said: "More than 300 theaters are showing at the same time, and they are really bold, and it is good to be able to achieve an average attendance rate of 12 percent, and the box office revenue of the two shows yesterday was nearly half a million US dollars." I'm worried that they think it's a good number, and they have a lot of confidence that the next screenings will get better and better. β
The old manager shook his head with a smile and said: "No, no, they are not naΓ―ve people, such a big company can operate and achieve enviable results, but it is not so superficial, and the input-output account must be clearer than ours." Even if the theater is their own, it still requires cost and labor. β
The young fat manager said: "However, this "The Sinking of the Petrel" is really unusual, I watched it yesterday and was very moved by the love of the hero and heroine. I was almost moved to tears. I have to say that this movie combines many advantages of our American blockbuster, if it were not for the fact that we knew in advance that it was shot by a Spanish director and a script written by Chinese, I would really think that this is our American blockbuster. β
The old manager looked at the younger manager and asked, "Do you really think so?" Know that you are a professional. β
The young manager said helplessly: "I can only say with regret that this is indeed the case. β
At this moment, a secretary-like man walked in, he walked up to the old manager with a piece of paper and said, "Sir, this is the result of the analysis of the marketing department based on the number of surveys. They believe that the attendance rate of "The Sinking of the Petrel" will increase significantly, and it is estimated that it may reach a maximum of 50%. β
"What? Fifty percent? Why? The young manager panicked for a moment, and regardless of how the old manager glared at him, he snatched the paper from the secretary's hand and looked eagerly.
According to the agreement signed with Maple Leaf Film Distribution Company, if the audience attendance rate exceeds 50%, then Universal Pictures and 20th Century Fox Film Company need to each take out 300 theaters for Maple Leaf Film Distribution Company to screen "The Sinking of the Petrel", then in this way, more than 900 theaters will screen this movie, and its share ratio is 4:6, and the other party will take 40% of the profits.
This is not the strictest, the strictest is that if the other party's film is shown in its own theater, it will undoubtedly show the world that the IIC company's acquisition of Maple Leaf Film Distribution Company has been successful, "The Sinking of the Petrel" has been successful, and Maple Leaf Film Distribution Company has also successfully gained a foothold in the United States.
Coupled with the strong financial resources of IIC, it means that both Universal Pictures and 20th Century Fox have established themselves as a formidable competitor.
Although this agreement was reached under the "guidance" of the government, this secret is only known to the senior leaders, and other managers and ordinary employees will call him a traitor and think that he is a guy who eats inside and out. Wonderful Novel [Net] Remember our website:
