Chapter Seventy-Nine: Investing in Jaws

After receiving affirmative replies from Richard and David, Xu Guanwu couldn't close his mouth with a smile all day, and at night he found that his mouth was crooked.

Richard. Zaniuk with David. Brown also smiled from ear to ear when he received a million dollars each, the biggest amount of money they had made in recent years.

Seeing the two of them happily putting the check in their pockets, Xu Guanwu couldn't help but show a smug smile on his face, "After the box office of "Jaws" comes out, you two brothers will hold one million dollars and run to the bed to cry." ”

But this is not the end of the matter, and there is still an unsolved puzzle that is the screenwriter. Chetley never wanted to give up his interests, he rejected Xu Guanwu's offer of $500,000, insisting that he wanted to get 10% of the film's net profit.

Xu Guanwu felt very distressed about this, he didn't expect to meet such a guy who didn't eat oil and salt.

Truth be told, he'd rather let Richard. Zaniuk and David. Brown shared the 10 percent of the profits, and he didn't want to give the money to the screenwriter for nothing.

Because Richard. Zaniuk with David. As a well-known producer, Brown may cooperate with Xu Guanwu in the future. But this Ben. Chetley, however, had little chance of working together again.

Xu Guanwu pondered all night, and the next day, he withdrew a million dollars directly from the bank.

Because the amount of withdrawals was too large, it even alarmed the manager on duty.

In the United States, because of the developed financial industry, POS machines are widely distributed, so people rarely carry a large amount of cash when traveling.

There are even fewer people like Xu Guanwu who can take a million dollars in one go, and the manager on duty almost called the police for help when he saw that the situation was abnormal.

After some explanation, Xu Guanwu still successfully withdrew the money.

However, it was also the first time he had seen the concept of a million dollars piled together, as if a large stack of books was piled together, filling all the boxes brought by Xu Guanwu, and almost flashing Xu Guanwu's waist with his hand.

"Good guy, I didn't expect a million dollars to weigh so much." Xu Guanwu gasped, put the cash box into the car with both hands, and then put the cash box in David. Brown & Richard. Accompanied by Zaniuk, we drove to Ben. Chetley's residence.

……

"Go back, I don't have anything to talk to you about." Root. Chetley said coldly to Xu Guanwu.

"Ben. Mr. Chetley, don't you want to see what I bring you today? Xu Guanwu opened the cash box as he spoke, and poured out all the money in it with a bang.

The brand-new million dollars were piled up into a small mountain in an instant, and the smell of ink was faintly emanated.

"This ......" Ben. Chetley couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw so much cash.

Americans rarely carry large amounts of cash, either because they don't need it, and because they avoid being the target of robbery.

Root. It was also the first time that Chetley had seen so many dollars piled on top of each other, and he couldn't help but swallow, "Sir, what do you mean by that?" ”

"I want to use this money to buy your share, you can choose not to agree, but I will burn $10,000 every minute that passes." Xu Guanwu said seriously.

"Are you kidding me?" Root. Chetley yelled in surprise.

Xu Guanwu smiled but did not answer, and looked intently at the watch on his wrist.

The room was instantly quiet, everyone held their breath, their eyes were all focused on Xu Guanwu, and they were all watching his performance in the next minute.

As the second hand clicked step by step, everyone's heartbeat accelerated a little, and finally ......

"It's been a minute!" Xu Guanwu said suddenly, and then he picked up a wad of dollars, took out a lighter in his right hand, and snapped!

The flame flickered, and the next second, the $10,000 was lit.

"You're really crazy!" Root. Chetley roared in surprise and regret.

"Stanley, you can't do that, that's $10,000." Richard. Zaniuk also exclaimed.

He couldn't imagine that Xu Guanwu would dare to do this, this is a real $10,000, not a prop for making movies.

The $10,000 was quickly reduced to ashes.

Xu Guanwu blew the confetti standing in his hand, looking light and breezy.

"Mr. Chetley, now it's only nine hundred and ninety thousand dollars." Xu Guanwu said with a smile.

Root. Chetley couldn't help but feel a pang of pain as he saw $10,000 turn to ashes, for he had taken the money as his property.

"It's another minute." Xu Guanwu see this. The muscles on Chetley's face jumped, and he knew that he had moved his heart, and in order to make him completely submit, he quickly picked up another ten thousand dollars.

"Stop!" Root. Seeing that the lighter in Xu Guanwu's hand was about to burn to the dollar, Chetley hurriedly shouted hoarsely, "I promised you." ”

"That's right, if you had said yes earlier, that $10,000 wouldn't have burned." Xu Guanwu pretended to be sorry.

Root. Chetley looked at the ashes of the $10,000 and couldn't help but feel a pain in his flesh.

Xu Guanwu smoothly from the present. Chetley took back 10% of his share and was in a good mood.

"Stanley, now I feel like I'm selling too soon." Richard said depressedly.

Root. Chetley only used 10% of the profit in exchange for $990,000, and Richard and David used 40% in exchange for $2 million, and the income was cut in half.

"If we knew you wanted to invest so much, we would have just called it higher." David also said depressedly.

Xu Guanwu couldn't help but smile proudly when he heard the two of them complaining, "If Ben. Chetley knew that he had lost at least 10 million dollars, and he didn't know if he would hit the wall in frustration. ”

……

Successfully recovered all the profit shares, and Xu Guanwu generously injected new funds into "Jaws". Of course, in order to avoid his investment being abused wantonly, Xu Guanwu also specially hired someone to supervise the production on the set, and reviewed various expenditures every day to ensure that every fund was worth it.

It's no wonder that Xu Guanwu is too careful, he is really alone in Hollywood, and he must be careful in his calculations.

Richard. Zaniuk with David. After receiving the investment from Xu Guanwu, Brown immediately rushed back to the location in Massachusetts to restart the filming of "Jaws".

To Xu Guanwu's regret, he didn't meet the legendary director, Steven. Spielberg.

Because Spielberg was still on Martha's Grape Island at the moment, he was waiting for Richard and David to bring back sufficient funds.

Xu Guanwu is eager to take the legendary director into his pocket, because he is one of the few Hollywood directors who can combine art and commercial films.

He can not only make blockbuster commercial films such as "Jaws", "Jurassic Park" and "Raiders of the Lost Ark", but also "Saving Private Ryan", "ET" and "Schindler's List".

"What a pity!" On the same side as the beauty, Xu Guanwu looked up to the sky and sighed.

Sending Richard and David away, Xu Guanwu found the producer of "One Flew Over the Asylum".
