Brandon has been working hard lately, having just traveled to Minnesota and California to buy farm real estate, and then was sent to Hollywood, Los Angeles.

Hall stayed in New York to study step by step, taking care of the aftermath of the study party.

The cooperation project between AEc Capital and Goldman Sachs has made initial progress, and it is planned that AEc Capital will set up a special fund to invest in the neon securities market, and Goldman Sachs will cooperate by investing in this fund.

After a study party and conversation, J.P. Morgan, Mellon Bank, Rockefeller Family Office, Harriman Investment Bank...... A slew of Wall Street Vespa leaders will become funders, including many powerful people who will participate in private names.

That's the big framework for dealing with next year's neon financial storm.

What Hall has to do for the time being is to attend many high-class drinking parties and private parties every day to give confidence to these financiers who have not really "made money". After all, business is business, and even the most noble common ideas need to be maintained.

If he didn't have the endorsement of successful investment operations in the past, how could he have asked his good partners to take the initiative to invest in him. Not to mention questioning his position and complaining that he doesn't bring his own people to play.

AEc Capital's fund is expected to complete the fundraising process by the end of the year and officially start operations early next year.

In addition, Hall is also investigating the news of Sony and Coca-Cola.

It is obviously unrealistic for the Mellons and Warren Buffett to jump out and be used as a gunman to participate in a multibillion-dollar commercial merger and acquisition case just because of a few words.

You must know that in his memory, Sony's acquisition of Columbia Pictures was miserable, and he continued to lose blood for many years before and after the acquisition. It is all due to Sony's abundant cash flow at this stage that is comparable to that of the Internet giants of later generations.

Admittedly, Hall, like a certain Goldman Sachs partner who was cheated, despises Hollywood's wasted market in his heart. But the essence of any business is competition between people, and even the street homeless fighting for turf is inevitably intrigued and bloodshed and violence.

He can look down on Hollywood, but he can't underestimate people.

According to the understanding of Hollywood during this period, if everything goes well with Sony, the expected revenue will not be lower than the century merger and acquisition.

The key is how Columbia Pictures' management will play, and they are not honest people who are at the mercy of their parent company, Coca-Cola.

…………

In Culver City, California, Columbia Pictures headquarters on West Washington Avenue welcomed a young British man.

In a separate office with the logo of the deputy director of the film production department, an elite middle-aged white man played with his business card and confirmed: "Raiden Pictures, Mr. Brandon Campbell, what is the possibility of cooperation between us?" ”

"We want to invest in remakes." Brandon replied succinctly.

The elite middle-aged man smiled slightly: "Mr. Brandon, as far as I know, Lei Dianhua was bought by a Wall Street investor to run an amusement park business, and you don't seem to belong to Hollywood." ”

"Your news needs to be updated, Lei Dianhua now belongs to the Culture and Entertainment Group, and will change ownership and return to Hollywood in half a month." Brandon continued.

The elite middle-aged man nodded: "Thank you, so what kind of way do you want to invest in filming, I remember that its copyright should be in the BBC." ”

"We are responsible for the payment, you will shoot and distribute, and the copyright will be with us."

"I thought you were looking to rent camera equipment and space, do you know how much money you need to make a movie at the moment, or what your budget is?"

"How much do you want?"

"This is a very general problem, we need to calculate the box office revenue sharing, actors' salaries, distribution risks, film insurance ......" The elite middle-aged man popped out of his mouth one by one professional terms.

Brandon spread out a black notepad and jotted it down, and after a long time, he said, "I need to see your cEo." ”

"Mr. Brandon, I understand the cautious mindset of every investor. But this is Colombia, and Mr. CEo has a busy job, so I have enough authority to negotiate cooperation. ”

The elite middle-aged man speaks unhurriedly, trying to make the accent sound elegant.

Brandon closed his notebook with a regretful look and pulled out a few documents from his briefcase: "I'm sorry, I have enough respect for Colombia, but in order to save time, we need to get acquainted again." ”

The elite middle-aged man fell silent as he looked at the business plans spread out on the table, and then suddenly jumped up from his chair and shouted outside the office: "Linda, our investors need coffee and snacks!" ”

Then he dropped a sentence and hurried out of the office.

Half an hour later, Columbia Pictures CEO Lou Corman shook his head and put down his business plan: "Oh my God, they're crazy, they want to get at least $50 million in investment just a few thin pages." It seems that my peers have been making too many robber movies lately. ”

"Mimegao only needs 20 million dollars." Brandon said, looking at the cup of coffee in front of him.

Lou Corman shrugged and quipped, "I guess Lord Hugo Hall must not know Hollywood." ”

Hollywood studios have a way of tricking investors in with low prices.

"Mr. Hall only cares about two things: first, the heroine can only be Jennifer Connelly; Second, the filming location had to be in the Hall family's Orange Palace. Brandon said in a non-fluctuating tone.

Lou Coman didn't know what to say for a while when he heard such a rich and arrogant speech, and he had a bunch of sincere words in his stomach, but people didn't care about being cheated at all, as long as he could make a popular lover and promote the family manor by the way......

"Frankly, it's not rational to expect a movie to become an instant hit, and it's a remake of such a literary work." He decided to test the bottom line by retreating.

Spielberg's filming a few months ago was only claimed to cost 50 million, and it was about 30 million after removing the water, which is an adventure action series movie!

One can imagine how exaggerated the offer of $50 million is, and if the Oscars set up an award for the best Hollywood sheep of the year, dear Mr. Hugo Hall is undoubtedly a strong candidate for the award.

Brandon shook his head and said, "So Mr. Hall spent eight million dollars to buy the Raiden Hua trademark, and is considering the feasibility of acquiring Marvel and DC, and if necessary, it is not impossible to acquire a healthy Hollywood studios." ”

“…… I must say that Ms. Connelly was very fortunate to have met Lord Hall. Lou Coman replied speechlessly.

But I have deep doubts in my heart, no matter how I think the boy who can make a lot of money on Wall Street will not be a fool, and he is willing to pay a huge amount of dollars for female stars, which is somewhat sci-fi.

After the talks ended and personally sent Brandon out of the building, Lou Coman immediately called several other Hollywood giants to try to find out.

So in just a few days, Hall has not appeared in Hollywood, and gossip about him has spread to the ears of all insiders.
