Taking Margaret back to the ranch, Chu Xiangqian didn't say anything, and Margaret asked a little puzzled.

"Honey, the sign of Universal Studios is really worth the $1 million you spent to get the franchise of Universal Studios Asia?"

Chu Xiangqian smiled at the corner of his mouth, let alone Asia, Hong Kong Island alone is willing to give 1 million US dollars.

After winning the independent operation, the studio in Asia does not need to pay any fees to Universal in the future, and the land rights are completed and can be passed on to future generations.

Now that Hong Kong Island is building a cinema, as long as the business is good, in the future, all places such as island countries, South Korea, Singapore, Wanwan, Thailand, and country A can build a cinema in the mode of amusement park and studio.

It's only worth $1 million.

Of course, I bought the future, and at this time, it seems that it is not cost-effective to buy the operating rights of the studio for $1 million.

can be seriously calculated, this price can only be regarded as a normal price in the United States.

If Universal hadn't paid attention to the studios, $1 million might not have been able to win the right to operate in Asia.

It can be said that he just spent this amount of money and divided the signboard of the cinema into two.

It's like the company in country A in the future, spending billions to buy whitebeard fried chicken and the exclusive right to use it in country A.

All profits will have nothing to do with Rice's whitebeard fried chicken in the future.

This is much more cost-effective than spending millions, tens of millions, and winning half of the shares of Universal Studios and Hollywood Studios.

If you don't take ten years, Universal will definitely regret it.

If it weren't for the fact that Las Vegas is too close to Los Angeles, I would like to buy a license to open a casino and studio model in Las Vegas.

Just the amusement that can take tourists to see the filmmaking process will definitely have many more tourists coming to Las Vegas Studios every year than other casinos.

Selling tickets and hotel rooms may make more money than the spinach industry.

And this is still a unique business, and other casinos have no chance to imitate it.

Because of the problem of brand image, Disney is likely to dare not have anything to do with the spinach industry.

Other Hollywood giants have never been involved in the business of studios and amusement parks.

Thinking of this, Chu Xiangqian couldn't help but wonder if he should pull Universal together and open a cinema in the casino.

In the next three or four years, there is still a lot of room for real estate appreciation in the United States.

Think about a big casino in the future, which will be worth billions of dollars at every turn, and spend two or three hundred million dollars to build a casino at this time, and the investment return is indeed very high.

However, thinking about the rise of Hong Kong Island real estate and Tokyo real estate, Las Vegas does not seem to be worth mentioning.

Besides, if you want to open a casino, you can open it in Austria.

The Lisboa Hotel had to wait until 70 years to officially open, and the king of He 'blocked' had not yet obtained a license at this time.

He can cooperate with him, he has a good reputation and a bad reputation, and he will make a fortune with more than 30% of the shares behind his back.

Margaret heard Chu Xiangqian say that he had long planned to build a studio on Hong Kong Island, and now with the sign of Universal, he can combine the studio with the playground.

In the future, the annual income of the cinema will be millions of Hong Kong dollars, and it will take less than 5 years to recover all the investment.

Then, in cooperation with the islanders, a new cinema will be built in Tokyo.

In the next ten years, the big cities in other Asian countries will build a cinema city, and with the land of these cinemas, you may be able to become one of the richest people in Asia.

Margaret smiled at this time, hugged Chu Xiangqian and said with a smile, "My dear, when it comes to the ability to make money, you are indeed the most powerful person I have ever met. ”

Chu Xiangqian looked at the woman in his arms with a look of adoration on his face, and he was so happy in his heart.

I went to the bedroom with Margaret in my arms, and not long after, there was a faint sound of running.

Kumiko, who had already begun to be responsible for the close protection of Chu Xiangqian, and Ovilla glanced at each other, and the secret boss was really powerful, as if he had endless energy.

It's a pity that the boss seems to have a lot of scruples, and his two big beauties follow him, but they haven't started.

To be honest, if Kumiko and Ovilla dress up, they can indeed be considered beauties.

In his previous life, he could get any person who was not an ordinary person.

But now, there is no shortage of women around me, so I am naturally becoming more and more picky.

A few days later, Serpentine took a share of the box office for its first week of release, minus 10% of Universal's distribution fee and $300,000 in publicity fees.

In the end, $3.732 million was transferred to the account of the M&S fund.

The box office share of the second, third, fourth, and fifth weeks will also be added to the M&S fund in the next week.

This can also be regarded as the benefit of Chu Xiangqian pulling Decca Records and Mi Guo Music Company to make movies.

A controlling shareholder, a music and brokerage company giant who wants to swallow Decca products, is biased towards Chu Xiangqian on the issue of box office share payment.

Universal's management can't drag the box office share if they want to.

As for the Universal Studios Asia franchise that Chu Xiangqian bought, it was an account with an offshore island registered fund.

It is equivalent to the copyright owner of the franchise, which has nothing to do with the company of the United States, and can avoid being made difficult by the people of the United States as much as possible in the future.

They don't have to pay any taxes yet.

This is also the reason why Chu Xiangqian is reluctant to join the nationality of the United States or get the green card of the United States.

The tax rate of the United States will become heavier and heavier in the future, and it will become more and more scoundrel.

After thinking about it, it is safest and safest to regard the industries of Hong Kong Island as the foundation.

Not only does he have a good relationship with England, but also his relationship with country A.

After watching the fighting tournament held by Universal, Zhang Tianzhi won the championship of the first tournament as expected.

asked him if he was willing to make a movie, Lao Zhang shook his head without thinking about it.

By the way, let Wrinkles carry people and deal with the preliminary preparations for the two films "Roman Holiday" and "Millie".

Chu Xiangqian originally wanted to take him back to Hong Kong Island, and then fly to country A to have a wedding with Xiao Lanlan.

Unexpectedly, before he left, a phone call from Hong Kong Island found him.

Qian Guotai is a native of Xijiang, and the dialect he speaks belongs to Hakka, but it is a little different from Dongguang.

According to Qian Guotai, the dialect of the village next door to his hometown is different from theirs.

In a village ten miles and eight miles away, the words are different.

Unless it's a local, outsiders simply don't understand what's being said.

So Qian Guotai also taught Chu Xiangqian some of his hometown, purely local dialect.

At first, it was all about medicinal herbs, and then in the matter of the pharmacy, mixed with what he really wanted to say.

If it weren't for Chu Xiangqian's forgetfulness, he really wouldn't understand what Qian Guotai was looking for him.

After hanging up the phone, Chu Xiangqian sat on the sofa with a headache and thought silently.

The thing is very simple, country A did not directly buy grain from rice and Canada at the beginning.

It's not that I don't want to buy cheap ones, but country A itself thinks that it is more reliable to find someone to buy food than to find the people of the United States who have been embargoing country A.

So look for Tai O first.

At this time, the Australian kangaroo is not the heel worm that will follow the ass of the United States in the next few decades.

More of it is still influenced by England, and it will have to wait until 86 years to really break away from England.

But what country A didn't expect was that Da Ao negotiated the price at the beginning, and then regretted that he would increase the price.

This kind of performance of having no credibility and taking advantage of the fire to rob will be annoyed by anyone.

So country A had to contact Canada, but I didn't expect the grain giants in the Maple Leaf country to squeeze too much grain and the storage pressure was too great.

After contacting country A several times and confirming that country A really wanted to buy food, it was very positive.

Even how to avoid the supervision of the United States, the one-stop service is in place.

It first departs from the east coast of Canada, is transported to Africa, and then transshipped back to country A.

It's just that this matter can't be hidden from the Mi Guoyan, and when the negotiations were talking about how to pay the money, the Mi people suddenly inserted a cylinder, and the matter was immediately stuck.

Thinking that Chu Xiangqian is now in the United States, and because of a movie, it has caused such a big sensation, and Country A actually knows about it.

After thinking about it, the boss decided to ask Chu Qianqian.

If he is sure, country A can even talk to whoever he talks to, as long as he gets the grain back.

And it was paid in gold.

The next morning, Chu Xiangqian fooled Margaret and flew back to New York to continue the visit.

Then I drove again to Santa Barbara County, the largest cattle and sheep market.

In the same way, I rented several warehouses and accumulated 450 cattle and 1,050 sheep in the month.

and a herd of 90 thoroughbreds, 30 quartes, and 30 Arabian horses were transported back to the pasture.

Then Simon, who was staring at the cowboys and branding the new cattle and sheep, said, "After a few busy days, I drove the original 600 cattle in the ranch into the cattle pen and began to fatten." ”

Simon nodded, the boss now transports 450 cattle and 1,050 sheep every month, and the 600 cattle left in the ranch should indeed start fattening.

Take advantage of the high demand for meat before Christmas, and sell it at a good price.

Since there are cattle in the pasture that need to be fattened, grass alone is not enough.

Based on 600 kg of cattle, at least about 10 kg of concentrate is needed every day, but eating all the concentrate will cause a series of digestive problems such as forestomach relaxation, rumen food accumulation, and rumen flatulence.

It also has to be accompanied by more than a dozen kilograms of forage.

After Chu Xiangqian had this excuse, he began to contact the farms around Santa Barbara.

At first, I only found three companies, and each bought 180 tons of corn kernels and 60 tons of soybean cakes.

Half of the warehouse couldn't hold these things, and after Chu put on makeup, he dressed himself up as a South American.

Not to mention, after the high nose bridge and the deliberately wheat-colored skin, even if you have black hair, you look like a South American.

On the same day, all the corn and bean cakes were collected in the warehouse of the novice village.

Then he started calling again, until the 15th farm received a call saying that the price would go up, and Chu Xiangqian gave up on continuing to buy corn and bean cake in Santa Barbara.

Fourteen families received a total of 2,520 tons of corn and 840 tons of soybean cake.

If you target the whole of California, tens of thousands of tons of corn can be easily harvested.

However, who to ask for help to buy, Chu Xiangqian couldn't make up his mind for a while.

After thinking about it for a long time, I felt that no matter who I bought it, it would be difficult to keep it secret in the end.

No one may care about buying thousands of tons, but a state buying tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of tons, can't be kept secret.

The several monopoly grain merchants in the United States will definitely notice the market fluctuations faster than the government of the United States, and they will investigate as soon as possible.

If the purchase quantity required by country A is followed, 1.5 million tons can probably only be purchased in cooperation with several major grain merchants.

After all, the total grain output of rice last year was actually more than 300 million tons, 1.5 million tons, accounting for 0.5% of the total grain output.

After deducting the grain eaten and exported by the people of the United States, the remaining stocks may be tens of millions of tons, but it is impossible to buy 1.5 million tons quietly.

Just when I couldn't think of a way, the on-board radio suddenly broadcast the tonnage of ships passing through the Panama Canal this year.

Chu Xiangqian instantly had an idea in his heart.

Ask Kumiko to inform Ichiro Matsuno to contact Frank.

Frank and his boss Russell have already scattered at least 60% of the flour they bought in Panama last time.

These 6 percent alone have brought back more than $1.3 million.

Seeing that the remaining 4 finished goods may only be enough for a week, I have long wanted to contact Ichiro Matsuno.

It's a pity that Ichiro Matsuno had already told Frank that this business was a one-way contact, and he would basically take the initiative to call him once a month.

While this move annoyed Frank and Russell, they secretly felt that the more cautious Ichiro Matsuno was, it was actually a good thing for everyone.

After receiving the call, Frank directly said that there were $1.44 million in cash shipped out of the United States this time.

When Chu Xiangqian heard the news, he probably guessed that the 1.44 million was most likely the net profit of Frank's money this time, and after deducting the principal of $800,000.

As long as this transaction is okay, the amount of money will definitely increase when we cooperate in the future.

When the flour merchant in Colombia notices the anomaly, he may test Frank or the boss behind him.

Ask for help and help them get the cash left in the country out of the country.

Ichiro Matsuno took people and went to Los Angeles to see Frank, but he didn't take all 1.44 million.

Instead, he took out 432,000 of the 3% commission and returned it to him.

Then Frank said in a surprised expression, "We need your help." ”

Frank was stunned for a moment, and then secretly happy in his heart, as long as both sides have needs, then the initiative in the future will no longer be one-sided by these island people.

I thought it was some shady business, or murder.

Unexpectedly, the help that Matsuno Ichiro said was to transport wheat worth 432,000 bushels to Panama.

At this time, the price of wheat futures in the United States is $1 per bushel.

Each bushel of wheat is about 27.22 kilograms, and $432,000 can buy 11,760 tons of wheat.

It's too simple for Frank and the mafia behind him.

A 12,000-ton medium-sized freighter can easily transport this grain to Panama, and although international wheat futures cost $1 a bushel, they are certainly cheaper to buy from Texas farmers.

Not only can you spread the cost of the cargo ship, but you may also earn 20,000 or 30,000 US dollars.

This money is distributed to his subordinates, that is, both up and down are profitable, and the people below must be very positive.

And in the way of the mafia, there is no need to declare customs at all, after all, the things shipped out from the United States, except for the embargo, the people of the United States have always been not strict.
