Chapter 307 The happiness of the capitalists is all based on the pain of the tool man

October 5th was Kate's birthday, but Roland had never celebrated Kate before.

When they first met in 96, the two parties had not yet confirmed the relationship between men and women, but they just used each other as an anchor point for entering the play.

By the time Roland invited Kate to her home for Christmas, her birthday that year had already passed.

Ninety-seven years, the two people who have already determined the relationship have different thoughts.

Roland is thinking about how to give Kate the Olympics, and Kate is thinking about how to occupy Roland.

In addition, it was the announcement period of "Titanic" at that time, so both parties tacitly did not mention this matter.

But in '98, the situation was different.

The house was bought, the marriage was proposed, the official announcement was made, and the brand was built......

In this case, if Roland doesn't give Kate a birthday, then he will blow up!

Because of this, he deliberately asked the truck driver to adjust the shooting schedule, and took a break on October 5th, specifically to accompany each other, but the idea is very beautiful, the reality is very skinny, on the night of October 4th, Roland educated Kate hard, so that she understood that being a man should be reasonable, and the next morning, this guy couldn't get up in bed!

"No, can you get up? It's hard to have a day off, and you can't waste it in bed! ”

Looking at the guy wrapped in bedding, curled up in a ball, and turned into a silkworm chrysalis, Roland, who had returned from morning exercise, was a little explosive.

"Nope! I'm not going to get up! The words of the urn came from the futon.

As he spoke, the white lump squirmed a little, tightening the loose futon from the inside, like a rice ball.

In this case, looking at Roland is wry smile and shaking his head, if it is the era of streaming media, then Roland can completely hold up the GoPro and perform [a breakup tip every day] to the audience.

Don't get up?

Do you want to slap it? Or do you want to eat chestnuts?

Or maybe it's a screaming chicken? Or a bunch of voice-activated toys?

Well, in fact, it was because he only dared to die with a GoPro.

Then use the 'show effect' to cover up the heart of the coward.

Now, since it is not the VLGO era, then Roland can only sit on the side of the bed and turn on the wake-up service of the earth ball grass-

"Get up......"

I patted the rice balls with my hand, but unfortunately the rice balls did not move.

"Breakfast has been brought for you, with your favorite black pudding and fried tomato ......"

The rice balls shook a little, but the filling inside still did not mean to break out of the shell.

"It's already eight o'clock, if you get up now, wash up and eat, we can still get to Chinatown by half past nine, and if you have enough time, you can eat the shredded chicken I made at noon......"

A small slit was exposed on the edge of the rice balls, but Roland still couldn't see the inside.

"Didn't you say you could make a little cake? After buying the ingredients, I don't go anywhere in the afternoon, how about learning how to make cakes with you? ”

The rice balls were stirred a few times, and the gap was enlarged, and a small head grew out of it, staring at Roland with bright eyes, and the small mouth pursed slightly, as if to say: 'Continue, continue......

"We'll go to LeBernardin in the evening, and their chef, Eric Ripert, will only serve us tonight, whatever we want."

Kate's eyes lit up when she heard LeBernardin, and after learning that the chef would only serve herself, she collapsed on the bed and smiled like a corgi, "You actually chartered the venue?" The red silk fish there is good! ”

"How much did it cost?"

"I've been able to buy a restaurant all the time you've been in bed......" Roland said truthfully.

"That's when I delayed you from making money, right?" Kate's voice was raised, and her eyes became sharp.

"How so?" Kate, who didn't want to argue at all, laughed and said: "No matter how much money you make, you can't buy you back!" ”

"Hmph~" Kate, who was in a happy mood, snorted lightly and got up from the bed.

Just when Roland thought that the seal of the quilt had been lifted, Kate suddenly hooked his neck and lay on his back.

"What?" Roland was puzzled.

"I was so tired last night that I didn't have the strength to walk on my feet, and I might not be able to walk......"

"My hands are a little sore, so I may not be able to lift them......"

"My body is even more weak, and I feel like I'm going to fall down as soon as the wind blows......"

The English Rose rubbed Roland's neck with her face, and the slimy words made Roland stunned for a moment, and then nodded with a wry smile.

"Okay!"

"I'll take you to the bathroom!"

"I'll wash your face and brush your teeth!"

"I'll feed you!"

After ......receiving an affirmative answer, Kate softened, chose a position, and fell into Roland's arms.

That clever movement, how can it be like a boring person?

To be a man, that's to be trustworthy!

Last night, Kate shouted, 'Roland, you're going to die tomorrow!' Then today, she will definitely not let Roland 'have a good time'!

Let Roland carry himself to the bathroom, brush his teeth and wash his face, and feed himself breakfast, that's all a trivial matter.

When I went to Chinatown to shop, let Roland carry him the whole time, this is happiness.

Not only that, but while waiting for lunch, she was like an overseer at the kitchen door, picking and choosing.

When teaching Roland to make cakes in the afternoon, this guy even squeezed the cream in Roland's face.

Although when Roland brought the cake to Kate, the guy praised him with a few words of conscience, which made Roland feel very comfortable, but after the two finished dinner, she lay on Roland's back and asked the man to accompany her shopping.

LeBernardin: That's in the heart of New York, Manhattan!

Shopping with Kate on her back on this realm, that's really ......

It's hard not to be noticeable!

It's hard not to be recognized!

When Roland walked into the first store with Kate on his back, they were already recognized because it was dark and they were not wearing sunglasses.

When the fans passing by learned that Roland was celebrating his wife's birthday, his words of envy drowned him like waves.

"Ahh Is this really a birthday? ”

"Oh my God! Kate is too happy, isn't she? ”

"Aung Aung Aang! My boyfriend is not as handsome as Roland, he is not as rich as Roland, and he never goes shopping with me! ”

"Wake up! Do you have a boyfriend? ”

"Is this the time to talk about this? Go get an autograph! ”

Although it is not the era of mobile Internet, passers-by cannot hold up their cameras and take wild pictures, and then share the photos on Instagram, but this is not a pre-set program, and the security measures are not perfect.

In order to avoid being surrounded by the fans who continue to gather, and in order to prevent accidents, Roland, who was carrying Kate, ran wildly and rushed into the Plaza Hotel with a smoke, so that the hotel security would block the passers-by who followed him, and he himself......

He got into the security car that came to pick him up and left the scene quietly through the back door.

"Goose Goose Goose ......" looked at Roland, who was sweating profusely, and covered his mouth without touching the ground the whole time.

The guy leaning back in the seat and panting glanced at her and said, "Happy, aren't you?" Happy, right? Well? ”

"Hey, hey, hey......"

Kate didn't answer directly, but she expressed everything with her actions.

Sitting on her knees, she hugged Roland, the tip of her nose standing up from her neck, and when she rubbed all the way to Roland's cheek, the mischievous guy drew circles around his man's mouth again.

It's like Dayu controlling the water, and he doesn't enter the house three times.

It wasn't until Roland's patience was about to be exhausted by her that the flower of passion bloomed.

At the end of the day, the two of them didn't actually spend much.

Rings, necklaces, earrings, pendants, none of them bought, watches, bags, shoes, clothes, and even more so didn't even look at them.

For them to achieve financial freedom, material things are no longer important.

You can buy these things whenever you want, but taking a day to play with them is really a luxury.

Because the two sides did not hide their whereabouts, the next morning, the major news stations broadcast the news of Roland accompanying Kate to celebrate her birthday, and the photo of running on the street with his wife on his back made the CP party addicted, and when the frontal footage of the two people laughing flowed into the Internet, Yahoo and MSN were sweetly fried again.

Whoever clicks on the title link, it is all going in with the smell of incense and coming out with a stomach.

Of course, some people are happy and some are sad.

Compared with those fans who are addicted to it, David, who is working, has his teeth almost sore!

"Here we go again! Here we go again! ”

"These two guys! Here we go again! ”

"Bang Bang!"

The frustrated right hand slapped his thigh with a straight sound.

Although Roland has changed the development direction of the company under his name, cut the interstellar records that cannot make a profit on a large scale, put Warcraft Film and Television that does not bother to operate, put aside the Overwatch Venture Capital, which has no projects to invest in for the time being, and handed over Blizzard Entertainment, which has been on the right track, to the Big Three to operate, but this does not mean that David is idle.

The plan was born at the beginning of the year, the deal was concluded in June, the formalities were completed in August and the design plan was finally finalized, and the fastest could only be delivered around the millennium.

This is just one of the tasks he has just completed.

There's a lot more to it than that.

The first is Warcraft Film and Television.

Although the projects that have been rolled out are all taken care of by professional managers, and in the entire creation process, Warcraft Film and Television has no intention of supervising the work at all, but the investment amount of the "Lord of the Rings" project is run by David himself.

No way, who made Roland unwilling to invest his own funds?

After returning from Berkshire Hathaway's shareholder meeting, Roland threw away his Wells Fargo contact information to David, because Berkshire Hathaway is the majority shareholder of Wells Fargo, and Warren Buffett is the director of the only AAA rated bank in America, so it is not too easy to get a project loan from them.

Disney and Warcraft Film and Television each bear half of the budget of "The Lord of the Rings" of 300 million, and with the participation of the six major parties, even if it is an unsecured loan, the investment amount of 150 million is approved by Wells Fargo.

Don't think that forty-five million is very little, because after having it, the remaining one and a half million will not have to be paid by Roland himself!

After getting a loan of 45 million, David found Spielberg non-stop, and this guy is even more familiar with letting his long-term partner Chase Bank package the project into a fund, go public and sell, and raise funds.

Although it took a total of five months from the loan to the listing of the fund, all the risks were transferred.

In addition to the 45 million loans and interest that must be repaid, the remaining 10.5 billion yuan is basically given in vain.

Because in addition to the fixed remuneration of 7 percent, the profit return of 25 percent agreed in the plan is basically impossible for retail investors to eat, and even if they eat some, it is considered that the capitalist has a conscience!

If it's like Time Warner did with "Harry Potter", let alone making money, it will take a few years for the principal to be recovered!

But more often, for the sustainable development of leeks, the Big Six will not do things absolutely.

Unless......

Screenwriters, directors, and actors ask too high a price.

This is also the reason why Spielberg still holds that shell after the failure of DreamWorks.

With the DreamWorks shell, he can raise more money from leeks.

Start-up capital?

In Roland's previous life, the old man first used Samsung, Microsoft, and Chase's money, then sucked Paramount's blood, and then made money from the Indian industrial company, and after that...... It's Jack Ma, the people's richest man.

DreamWorks loses money every day, but the old man makes a lot of money.

Because he gets the director's share and the producer's share, which is given priority to the fund's dividends and the bank's loan repayment......

With this acquaintance leading the way, Roland is simply a white wolf with empty gloves.

Don't look at 150 million yuan in five years, the final interest will be paid more than 50 million.

But according to the box office of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy of nearly 300 million, after sharing the account, he can get 600 million.

After deducting the cost of 200 million, the remaining 400 million is simply given for nothing.

didn't spend time, didn't spend energy, just paid for the shooting copyright, and earned 400 million.

What's the difference between this and bending down to pick up money?

Yes! Wrong!

You don't even have to bend down, the tool man has already done everything......

As for Wall Street?

After the fund is listed and the money is raised, they who are responsible for underwriting have already received hush money through commissions!

"Hollywood is so cunning! We're looking away, too! The business is a huge loss! There's no way! ”

"Huh-"

Of course, this kind of mature business, which has been played by Hollywood and Wall Street, is actually not run by David himself.

The reason why he personally led the team to run was mainly to make those tool people have bright eyes.

The core of the whole business is not how good the company is, but that Roland has opened up all channels.

These capitals are all based on people's cooking, and not all projects are done.

Those managers just run away according to the process, don't make any moths!

In addition to the two jobs of buying land and building a house and empty gloves white wolf, RandK's cooperation has also been negotiated.

As David expected, Warren Buffett's thief old man really didn't want to pay cash to enter the market, but wanted to invest at a discount with the brand under his own name, according to the market value of nearly 2.4 billion, even after the discount, they would have to pay 33% of the equity and 550 million in cash, and if they really did this, it would be tantamount to giving up absolute control.

According to the urine nature of the old man's holdings, the company has just been registered and made so big, then he will never find a way to continue to swallow shares in the future, so David directly rejected this plan, and under the bickering between the two sides, the store plus cash became the final choice.

Berkshire Hathaway sold 13 stores in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, and Philadelphia, as well as $630 million in cash, in exchange for 20 percent of RandK's shares, five years of agency sales rights outside the five major cities, and a partnership agreement that must buy its remaining assets in cash within 10 years.

To put it in layman's terms, Warren Buffett understands that Roland does not want to give up control of the company, so he is willing to take a step back and not have so many shares, but at the same time, he also hopes that Roland will take a step back and buy all the channel jewelry companies under his name that are only RandK after RandK has gained a firm foothold.

It looks like a win-win, but it's actually a gamble, and both sides are betting that RandK has a bright future.

Don't look at three things that are easy to say, but when it came to doing it, it took David nearly ten months.

In addition, Google burned 200,000 yuan in three weeks, and then used the 'small' thing of 'borrowing' 2 million from Roland to pass David's hand, and every three months, he also had to go to the US Securities and Exchange Commission to submit a report on Yahoo's shareholding reduction.

Not only that, but the construction of the land in New Zealand and the decoration of Roland's three villas are all done by him!

To put it mildly, now it's really Roland moving his mouth, and David breaking his leg!

Roland is soft in his arms, David ......

Miserable and miserable!

And in this case, he still sees Roland's ** cub doing things every day?

"I can't live this day!"

"I'm resigning! I want to go home! ”

Jealousy separates him!

But just when David's chest was heaving, sulking, wondering why Roland could eat, drink, and have fun, and he had to have a meeting, the door of the office was suddenly knocked on from outside.

Hearing this, he who was still there diss Roland, he directly copied the remote control on the table and turned off the TV directly.

"Come in!"

With his call, the male secretary with the document in his arms walked in.

"Chairman, there's already news from ATI......"
