The day after the fundraising party, everyone got together to discuss the use of the funds.

The total amount of 250 million US dollars is a piece of fat in anyone's eyes. Needless to say, Richard and David have already set their sights on this piece of fat pork early. And other film companies, bankers, investors, etc. also want to get their hands on it.

250 million US dollars, how much wealth can be derived, even if it is only put in the bank to eat interest, there are millions of dollars a year. If it is left to these bankers to take care of, I am afraid that the income will be more. Therefore, this meeting is destined to be full of swords and swords, and gunsmoke will be filled.

After Xu Guanwu received the invitation, he arrived at the venue early. He thought he had come early enough, but he didn't know that there was someone who harmed him earlier. Everyone is working together to try to get their hands on this huge sum of money.

Everyone also knows that "The Lord of the Rings" is going to shoot a trilogy, and at the rate of shooting one per year, it will take at least three years to shoot the trilogy. And the $250 million will not be used in full at the first time, so now there is a question, whether to invest in three batches, or all at once?

Richard, David and others naturally hope that the funds will be in place at one time, and the more money they have, the more opportunities they will have. Investors and bankers aspiring to make a fortune with this money also support this view. But for other film companies, they want to invest in multiple batches, because then their financial pressure will be relatively small, and they can also free up some funds for other investments.

Now everyone is looking for a partner to support them and get as much support as possible for themselves. Xu Guanwu was called away by Richard as soon as he arrived at the scene, which made the people of the other film company depressed. He spat hard at Richard's back.

"Xu. You're going to be on our side this time. Richard said in the first sentence.

"Haven't I always been on your side. What's wrong with it? Xu Guanwu asked strangely.

"Yes, although the fundraising has been successful, there are two problems, the first is the way to invest. Whether it is a batch of investment, or a one-step investment. The other is the question of who manages the funds. Richard explained to Xu Guanwu.

Xu Guanwu was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but smile dumbly, "Of course, the filming funds must be in place at one time, otherwise why would I have to pull them together to make a fortune." What a joke. You tell them that if they can't afford it, they can quit the event and talk nonsense with them. ”

"That's a good thing to say, I'll tell them to go now." Richard's eyes lit up when he heard Xu Guanwu's words, and he confidently went to declare war on those people.

Xu Guanwu saw that everyone who finished talking to Richard had an embarrassed, embarrassed, incredulous, and angry look on their faces. Later, I saw that several film companies withdrew, but most of them chose to stay. It seems that I really want to invest in these three films.

It is no wonder that they are reluctant to leave, because Xu Guanwu has never made a mistake in investing in the United States over the years, and everyone has developed a blind obedience mentality, that is, everything he invests must be able to make money. Although everyone here is extremely intelligent and has made considerable contributions in their respective fields, it is difficult for ordinary people to influence their thoughts. But when they choose to listen to their own or Xu Guanwu's opinions, they still choose to prefer to listen to Xu Guanwu.

There is a situation in the casino where a gambler seems to be extra lucky and wins both. At this time, if someone else follows the trend and bets, it is very likely that he will make a small fortune by his luck. Xu Guanwu is now like the lucky one in the casino, winning every time and winning quite a lot. So these investors bet like him, hoping to make a profit with his luck.

The meeting has not yet officially opened, a major problem has been solved, and now all that remains is the most critical issue of fund management. A huge amount of more than 200 million US dollars, stacked together, is afraid of the size of a small mountain. With such a large sum of money, anyone who sees it will inevitably be tempted.

Richard and David kept circling around Xu Guanwu, "Xu, you want to support our brothers, right?" David asked.

"I've said yes many times, don't you pester me anymore, okay? Isn't it 200 million dollars, you look at the two of you, it's like you've never seen money. Xu Guanwu pouted.

"More than 200 million US dollars, I haven't seen so much money since I was a child, of course I'm excited." Richard laughed, "You're going to support me, aren't you?" ”

Xu Guanwu nodded, "Don't quarrel with me anymore, I really won't help you if you quarrel again." ”

When Richard and David heard this, they immediately laughed and ran away.

Xu Guanwu's ears were cleared at this time, but before he could be clean enough, someone immediately came to the door. "Mr. Xu, please allow me to introduce myself, I am David. Vinci, a brilliant banker, a brilliant financial manager. ”

Xu Guanwu looked at his fat beer belly and his big face full of fat, and couldn't help but smile and nodded, "I can see it." ”

"Mr. Xu, are you planning to hand over more than $200 million in filming funds to Richard? Zaniuk and David. Brown care? "David. Finch asked with a smile.

Xu Guanwu blinked, "This matter is my private matter, so it doesn't seem convenient to tell you." ”

David hurriedly waved his hand, "I'm sorry, I didn't want to inquire about your privacy, I just want to tell you something, lest you be deceived by some people's friendly appearances." ”

"Oh?! How do you say that? Xu Guanwu blinked and said.

"Well, I have a banker friend who specializes in helping Richard. Zaniuk Finance. "David. "He told me that some of the money in Richard's account was of unknown origin, and that it was quite a lot, about six or seven million dollars. ”

"Take Richard. Zaniuk's current status in Hollywood, even if he makes some money, is not unusual. Xu Guanwu waved his hand and said, "I don't understand why you are making such a fuss." ”

"Mr. Xu, every time he was a producer. Some money will be deposited into the account. How can there be such a coincidence? "David. Finch explained. "And every one of his legal incomes is very clear, only the six or seven million dollars he can't explain, just let my banker friend help him settle it. You know what I mean? ”

"You mean every time Richard. When Zaniuk was a filmmaker, he would have some money in his account from unknown sources, and he also asked your banker friend to help him launder money? Xu Guanwu asked with a smile.

"Yes, that's it." David nodded and whispered, "Mr. Xu." I suspect that he was secretly misappropriating filming funds behind your back. ”

"If that's the case, then it's true that you should call the police. I know the law of the United States, and if you report it, you can at least get 20% of the stolen money, more than 1 million US dollars, which is not a small amount. Xu Guanwu said with a smile.

David. Finch smiled awkwardly, "I just heard from my friends, and I don't have any real evidence, how can I sue them." ”

Xu Guanwu also smiled. "Since you don't have any real evidence, I'm sorry I can't trust you anymore. I've been working with Richard and them for a few years. It's always been a good relationship, and I don't believe they have that kind of problem. Unless you have real evidence, don't slander my friends in front of me. ”

David. Finch was accused by Xu Guanwu, and he simply regarded him as a villain who stirred up trouble, and couldn't help but blush his cheeks with embarrassment, "I'm not sowing discord, it's a fact, if you don't believe me, you will definitely regret it." ”

David. Finch yelled loudly, so loudly that everyone in the audience looked at him. He soon found that he had lost his temper, quickly adjusted his clothes, and then quickly left the scene.

"What's the matter, man, what's wrong?" Richard and David stepped forward and asked suspiciously.

Xu Guanwu smiled, "It's nothing, it's just a madman, saying that you have embezzled the money I used to make movies, so I don't believe you anymore." Do you think his words are nonsense? ”

Richard and David looked at each other, their eyes were a little frightened, "Haha, yes, it's really nonsense." The two of them laughed dryly.

"You think so, don't you?! So I drove him away. Xu Guanwu smiled, "You are all the people I trust the most, we have been working together for so many years, how can we believe him?" ”

"Yes, yes, Xu, you did the right thing." Richard and David laughed timidly as their hearts jumped.

……

Soon after this episode, a formal meeting was held to discuss the $220 million investment. The studios that had just exited did not accept the one-time investment proposal, so the total amount was reduced by $30 million. But even so, the remaining $220 million is actually enough to shoot this film.

It's just that now the question of who should take care of the money will be handed over. $220 million is not a small amount, and what to do with them is a real problem. Everyone is also quite cautious about this matter, and none of these heavyweights spoke out at the first time, but some small companies acted as pawns, chirping and arguing non-stop.

Xu Guanwu noted that on the other side, there was an idea to set up a foundation to oversee the use of the money, and that the personnel of the foundation would be elected by those present at the meeting, and that the funds to keep the foundation running would be paid for by the money derived from the $220 million.

Of course, Richard, David, and Fox argue that the money should be handed over to the producer, and the others only have a share in the investment, and there is no right to interfere with the details of the film's shooting, the use of funds, etc.

Representatives of both sides come and go, and the quarrel is quite lively.

Xu Guanwu watched from the sidelines and refused to express his position. Several other major investment giants also remained silent when they saw this, waiting for these little shrimps to finish arguing.

A group of small shrimp chirped and quarreled for half an hour, but they didn't get any decent results. Seeing that the smell of gunpowder was getting stronger and stronger, and the scene was getting hotter and hotter, Xu Guanwu couldn't help but roar, "Enough!" This voice has the demeanor of the cry of the Lord of Destruction, Baal, on the sacred mountain of Arret.

Everyone present was startled and turned their heads to look at him in surprise.

Xu Guanwu slowly moved his gaze and glanced at everyone present, "Everyone's time is precious, I don't think we need to waste any more time." I support the two producers, Richard and David, who have been working together for many years, and I believe in their work ethic, and I believe that they will use the money to make the best film for everyone and bring the most great rewards to everyone. ”

Hearing Xu Guanwu praise himself like this, Richard and David both puffed up their chests and looked proud.

Everyone present couldn't help but look at each other when they saw Xu Guanwu praising the two of them like this. At this time, Xu Guanwu said again, "I choose to support the two of them, please raise your hand if you agree with me!" He was the first to raise his hand.

Later, those who supported Richard and David also took the opportunity to raise their hands, which caused a huge momentum for a while, so that some neutrals couldn't help but raise their hands with them. (To be continued......)
