Holding the little girl with the volleyball in his arms, Ryan walked out of the ballroom where the charity dinner was held and walked towards the parking lot, having been reminded by the Paramount director that he had already thought of who the young man and woman were.

This is just a battle of righteousness between little girls, Ryan didn't take it to heart at all, presumably this kind of thing, as long as it is a normal person, it will be laughed at, even if it is Larry? No matter how arrogant Ellison is, he will not teach his children to be real arrogant fools.

But what Ryan didn't expect was that as soon as he walked out of the banquet hall, he was stopped by someone.

"Mr. Jenkins, if you have time, can you talk?"

The young man who spoke was sixteen years old at most, and the long-faced girl next to him was the one who was fighting Taylor for volleyball.

The two girls were staring at each other, looking like they wanted to kill each other with their gaze.

"Alison, what about your etiquette."

Ryan pulled Taylor, and the little guy withdrew his gaze, his nose almost wrinkled into the sky.

"Introduce yourself, I'm David? Ellison, is this my sister Megan? Ellison. ”

Gently shaking the other party's outstretched hand, Ryan nodded, "Then find a place." ”

Past life, David? Although Ellison is a well-known wrongdoer in Hollywood, it doesn't mean anything to Ryan, and he is not one of those independent filmmakers who can't find investment.

Entering the lounge near the banquet hall, Ryan sat across from his brother and sister who had hated Hollywood studios with a toothache in his previous life, quietly sipping coffee, wondering what they would be able to say.

"Mr. Jenkins......"

"Call me Ryan." After all, he was not a few years older than the other party.

"Okay, Ryan." David? Ellison seemed to want to put on his father's pretense, but unfortunately there was a childishness on his face that could not be concealed, "I know that your time is precious, so let's be straightforward." ”

"Hmm~" Ryan made a gesture of please.

"I want to participate in the investment of the Harry Potter series of films, and the money ......" David? Ellison was really learning from his madman daddy, "Not a problem! ”

"Sorry, I'm not short of money."

Are you kidding. He worked with Warner because it was a win-win situation, and what were the benefits of accepting their investment? Let them make money for nothing?

Oracle is very remarkable, but the influence is still in the IT-related industry, why should I share the benefits with them, just by their surname Ellison? Just because they have a crazy rich dad? Maybe they have some influence in the media, but can they compare to him and Time Warner?

Sometimes interlacing is like a mountain, but it's not just talking.

"For ...... For what? "David? Ellison probably never thought Ryan would say no so outright.

"I'm not short of money."

Ryan slapped Taylor's hand covertly, and the little girl yawned tacitly, "Ryan, I want to go home and sleep." ”

"Hmm......" Ryan just nodded. David? Ellison spoke again, "Meghan and I love movies very much......"

"David, you don't mind if I call you that, do you? Xie Lu Xie. Ryan shook his head and said directly, "I don't lack investment in Harry Potter, I know better than anyone what kind of income this series can bring, and besides, liking movies and investing in movies are two different things." ”

said. He stood up and said in the last word, "Also, help me bring a thank you to Larry?" Mr. Ellison. Xie Lu thanks his private island! ”

Filming "Jurassic Park 2" is a rented Larry? Ellison's private island, but it's a lease at a clear price, and it doesn't have much to do with human favors.

As he got into the car, Ryan reminisced more about the siblings. Although he was jokingly called Hollywood's biggest wrongdoer in the early stage, it developed quite smoothly later, and it was like David? That's what Ellison said. They are indeed people who really like movies.

But so what, there are many people who really like movies, and he can't just come to the door and share his interests with them, right?

Besides, their appearance is a boon for independent films, but they are the public enemy of the big Hollywood studios.

Unfortunately, Ryan is becoming a representative of the interests of several major studios, and is not naturally on the same side as them.

It has nothing to do with their mad daddy, with Megan? Ellison's fight with Taylor for the night had nothing to do with it, it was only about interests.

It seems that since the beginning of the new century, Paramount has been in a financial crisis, David? Ellison, on the condition of providing financial support, forced Paramount to agree to his priority selection and investment in Paramount's film projects, "Mission Impossible", "Special Forces", "Star Trek", "Transformers", etc., which brought him huge returns.

It's a pity that now Hollywood has its own, even if the economic crisis comes, Paramount will not be able to save him.

Ryan doesn't know what David is? Ellison came out to invest in the movie Larry? Ellison will not know, but with the character of that madman, even if his son squandered the money, he probably wouldn't discipline him much.

Shaking his head, he dissipated these nonsense thoughts, he wouldn't have anything to do with Oracle in the future anyway.

"Ryan, you're going to London tomorrow?" The little girl looked at him with sparkling eyes.

"yes, dear." Ryan rubbed her blonde hair, "The Harry Potter crew has passed, and the cast audition is about to officially begin." ”

In the blink of an eye, 1999 has arrived, and the new century is about to dawn.

"Can you take me with you?" Taylor's face was full of hope.

"I'm going to work, so I don't have time to play with you." Ryan saw the little girl drooping her head and sighed, "That's it, dear, I'll definitely take you over to play when the movie starts." ”

"Okay then." The little girl, who had just celebrated her ninth birthday, was obviously much more sensible.

The RV was parked in front of a luxury villa, which was the new home of the Swift family, which was several times larger than before. Swift has made enough money as Ryan and Nicole's investment agent over the years, as well as Jenkins Films' dividends, as well as his own investments.

Taylor pushed the car door, jumped down and ran into the villa, and Ryan, who was following behind, clearly heard her swaggering voice, "Look, Austin, this is Mr. Wilson, my New Year's present!" ”

"You have so many dolls, you never give them to me." The little boy with blond hair looks a little vulnerable when facing his sister.

"It's all limited editions, do you understand, Austen?" Taylor's eyes widened in royal blue, "You lost all the ones I gave you before, they are all limited editions, you can't buy them outside!" ”

After greeting the Swifts, Ryan walked up to the little boy and said, "Hey, Austin, you're taller than last time." ”

"When you grow taller, you will be bullied by your sister." The little boy murmured.

"Hey, Austin, how can you say that." Taylor was immediately dissatisfied, "Don't forget, the last time the neighbor's Lina sisters bullied you, I drove them away. ”

"But you're a sister, that's what you're supposed to do."

Rubbing the heads of the two little ones, Ryan and Scott went into the study, where Mrs. Andrea brought them black tea and closed the door tightly as they left.

"How is the stock market now?" Taking a sip of black tea, Ryan put down his teacup.

"Crazy." Scott frowned, "It's unbelievably crazy. ”

"Don't you think this madness isn't normal?" Ryan reminded.

"It's not normal." Scott was originally a good investor, and as he managed more and more money over the years, he has long become one of the most well-informed people on Wall Street, "but the vast majority of investors have been driven by the crazy index, the whole market looks extremely prosperous, and some people say that the spring of America has arrived." ”

People will always be blinded by profits, and greed can be gotten rid of by a few people.

Why are IT stocks so crazy? Of course, there is a relationship between the rapid development of computers and networks, but the behind-the-scenes promotion of some people is also inseparable, and even the people who promote it, I am afraid that they don't know when the road will collapse, Ryan doesn't want to take risks, "Scott, after the Oscars, he has a plan to throw away the IT stocks in his hands. ”

"All?" Scott was obviously surprised, it was a staggering fortune.

Ryan is not referring to companies controlled by Pixar Studios, but to the outstanding shares of IT companies such as Microsoft, Dell, and Apple that have been eating in since the early nineties, in addition to a huge number of shares in Cisco.

Unlike other IT companies, Cisco only went public in the 90s, and when it first went public, Scott used Ryan and Nicole to come up with the liquidity they could come up with at the time to buy a considerable amount of shares.

"It's okay to keep a small stake in Yahoo and have a say on the board, and the rest, including Cisco, will all be sold by the end of the year."

After so many years, Ryan is no longer a financial idiot, if he waits until next year to get rid of it, it will be too late, although none of the shares held by Microsoft and other IT companies exceed 5% - more than 5% must be reported to the Securities Regulatory Commission - but thrown into the stock market in a short period of time, maybe it will lead to a crash in advance.

Ryan had the general impression that the precursor to the collapse of his previous life was a large sell-off of Microsoft stock.

And his shares in Cisco are more than 10 percent, such a amount, the best way is to contact other buyers to transfer, the best target is the board of directors of Cisco, these all take time.

"Ryan, you mean the stock market is going to crash next year?"

"No, no, no." Ryan shook his head, "Scott, I'm not even a layman in this regard, but it's definitely not normal for the stock market to go up like this, and there's no telling when a disaster will happen." Think about it, how much money did we invest in the first place? How much money can I make back by transferring the shares now? At least 10 times the profit, right? That's enough money for us to do more. ”

"Greed is an original sin." Scott is still very sober.

"Greed can lead to unpredictable consequences." Ryan let out a long sigh, "We've earned enough, it's not worth the risk." ”

"That's right."

It's easy to say, but a few people can do it, and Scott nodded, "Leave it to me." (To be continued......)
