Chapter 139: How to Play with Film Investment

After listening to Ariana's logic, Hale could probably understand the reason for the anger.

Wall Street's rise to become a financial center since the nation's war fortune has laid the foundation for the bloody and wild logic of behavior here. It's not that you can't admit it, but the premise is that you can't do anything.

For example, the Argentine government borrowed a large amount of money in the international market to spend money in advance, and the trick of eating grain and repaying old debts could no longer be played around the turn of the millennium.

Why should I pay back the money I borrowed by my ability?

Most creditors are helpless in the face of a sovereign state's scoundrels, and they cannot form an army privately to wage war and violently collect money.

A small number of clever creditors simply admit to stop losses in time - resell the IOUs to Wall Street financial institutions at a low price, and make a lot of money when they get the money back, if they can't do anything, there is nothing to say, it is all up to ability.

After the financial institutions on Wall Street bought the IOUs, they came to collect debts every day, clamoring that they could not lose even a penny of principal and interest.

Argentina made up its mind to play a scoundrel and ignored it.

After seven or eight years of back-and-forth verbal warfare, Wall Street's financial institutions finally seized the opportunity to seize the Argentine warship that had gone to sea on a mission.

Then he successfully sued the Argentine government in the U.S. court, froze the Argentine government's overseas assets, and said that if he didn't pay back the money, he wouldn't want to enter the international market in the future!

A set of hooligans full of dark humor convinced the Argentine government, forced to issue bonds in the international market to borrow new money, and paid off old debts owed to Wall Street.

In terms of playing scoundrels and being hooligans, sovereign countries are not opponents of Wall Street, and now they have let the little good come to the dock, and it is Goldman Sachs who is pitting? !

This is obviously not something that cannot be done without being as good as others, but it can only be said that it is good to come to the dock and not talk about martial arts and sneak attack, and I have suffered a loss for a while.

"So how did they do it?"

Hall was very curious, and he was planning to make a movie.

Ariana spread her hands: "It's a long story...... Do you know Hollywood? ”

"Very little."

Hall has recently read industry research reports and traced and investigated the Marvel and DC copyright libraries, and the things on paper seem to be not intuitive and relatively shallow.

"Okay, then let me start with you."

Ariana tasted lipstick tea and said while organizing the language: "More than ten years ago, the government gave relevant tax exemption policies to encourage the development of the entertainment industry, and the hot money from social investment poured into Hollywood, which made the production cost of Hollywood movies increase tenfold in ten years. ”

"This is the 'blockbuster era' that Hollywood is now advocating, and the average cost of shooting a movie is as high as more than 20 million US dollars, which the film industry cannot afford on its own, so it is bound to introduce external investment to share the risk."

"But the problem is that at present, the government has canceled the relevant support policies, the film is no longer a high-quality investment target, hot money is no longer willing to flow into Hollywood, and the production cost cannot be compressed."

Hall had a slight understanding and slightly echoed: "So they chose to enter the financial market on a large scale. ”

"Yes, the most common way to play is to prepare the script and a few stars first, package a series of profits in the financial market such as pre-sale distribution rights, peripheral copyrights, box office sharing, etc., and obtain production funds before making a movie." Ariana continued.

The dazzling financial games involving pre-sales, leverage, and financing are inseparable from Wall Street, and how to package bad scripts and street stars into a beautiful product that can bring hope to investors is enough for the filmwriters who claim to be the best storytellers to learn and watch well.

Hall said thoughtfully, "You were cheated at this stage? ”

Since pre-sale and making movies are to make money, if you can make money from investors, what are you wasting your energy to make movies, and whose money is not earning.

As a result, Wall Street gradually went deeper into Hollywood, and the cooperation between the two sides increased day by day, creating countless movie investment games. The success of a high-quality project is accompanied by ten pig-killing plates for cutting leeks.

"It's more complicated than that, and I have to say that although Hollywood is very bad, Wall Street has the money and energy to help them develop quickly in the international market. As a result, many European countries have introduced policy dividends to protect the local film industry in order to resist the invasion of Hollywood. ”

Ariana raised an eyebrow, "We took advantage of some policy loopholes to eat dividends, and we should have been happy, but those short-sighted guys in Hollywood were blinded by million-dollar benefits. ”

"Not all industries are lucky enough to reach the top of the mountain and look into the distance." Hall smiled and didn't ask for the details of the "bonus".

Ariana changed her words: "So you can be in New York, but your eyes are cast across the continent to the Far East?" ”

She missed the "M&A of the Century", and Hall originally sent an invitation to Goldman Sachs to cooperate.

Half of Wall Street is concerned about who the savage British aristocracy will target next, and as the person who works with them the most, she can't accept that she misses it again.

But what opportunities exist for South Korea's Samsung?

"Isn't Goldman Sachs looking at East Asia?" Hall asked mysteriously.

Ariana muttered back, "Our focus is on neon...... South Korea is not an ideal place to invest. ”

The neon economy radiates to the entire East Asian region, and the neon economy has the final say.

"I'm also curious about the investment opportunities that will emerge from Neon, and if Goldman Sachs wants to, we can work with Ace to create a fund."

By the end of Hall's point, Ariana had a lot of inside information that she didn't know was limited to talk about.

The neon economy explodes at the end of next year, and with the early entry time and the fund establishment process, it's time to start moving forward gradually.

Ariana didn't get the expected answer, but it was good to have additional gains, and she smiled seriously and said that she would immediately report to the management to consider the feasibility of cooperation.

"The New York gangs are going to be cleaned up, and the prisons are full of leaf-smoking addicts."

At the end of the conversation, when she said goodbye and left, she leaked a message without a boundary.

Hall instantly remembered her husband's relative of the Elephant Party member of the New York State Legislature.

The competition between the Elephant Party and the Donkey Party has entered a white-hot state, and the bayonets in one area after another are fighting hard, and the situation is not good for the Elephant Party on the surface, and Ariana hints that the Elephant Party has begun to fight back.

As early as when the current Elephant Party was running for the leadership of the party, he invented a trick to directly target the core of the campaign, cracking down on drugs and suppressing gangsters.

Most of the Donkey supporters are blacks from the bottom of society and many self-provoking young people with a spirit of rebellion, and these people are at a much greater rate of drug crime than normal white people.

In other words, the fight against crime and drugs is like stabbing the main artery of the Donkey Party's vote warehouse, and the ballots are thrown into prison and a hairy vote.

The incumbent president has caught more than 400,000 addicts in two elections, which is the fundamental reason why the Donkey Party is so anxious to jump to its feet and shout for the legalization of leaves.

New York has always been a deep blue state, and the five major gangs have been killed one after another, and now they have cleaned up the last remnants, and it seems that the party is about to show its sword.

"Stay away from your friends in Brooklyn."

Hall suppressed the thoughts in his heart, picked up the phone and called Gagoxuan.

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time before the voice rang: "Thank you for your attention, I am always making progress under your watchful eye, can I do anything for you?" ”

“…… Help me get a few, uh, Debbie Gibson, it should be that name, and get me a couple of tickets to her recent shows. ”

"Tickets?"

Hall confirmed: "Yes, as long as the ticket, I like to chase stars lately!" ”

Even Goldman Sachs dares to pit, so that there are many people in Wutou, he must spend more effort to gain an all-round understanding of the entertainment industry, otherwise he will be cheated and want to cry without tears.

“……”

There was a deep silence on the other end of the line again.
