Through the, I watched Pablo take his cousin Gustavo, with two shovels, and start digging a hole in the grass halfway up the hill of the estate.

It's just that I didn't expect to dig and dig, and I actually dug up the money that I had buried before.

Pablo scolded and buried the dirt back, chose a new place, and said to Gustavo as he dug it, "It looks like we have to find a way to get the money to Switzerland." ”

Gustavo shrugged, "Then you might as well spend money on the team and the TV station." No matter how bad it is, spend some money to help the poor in Medellín. Or the expansion of armed forces. ”

Pablo was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "We already have more than 500 gunners at our disposal, and this group of men is enough for us to deal with potential enemies at this stage."

And instead of blindly expanding the gunners, it is better to spend money on these 500 people.

An elite is much more useful than 10 guts in many cases.

If you expand it any further, it will be a waste of money. ”

Gustavo did not contradict Pablo this time, because Medellín had just risen and there were not many enemies.

Pablo was also smarter than the average flour merchant and knew how to share profits with other forces.

Many gangs in Medellín have cooperated with Pablo to borrow his channels for 50% of the profits to transport the flour to the country.

Don't look at 5 percent is very high, but as long as people with a little brain know that their things can't be shipped to the United States, no matter how high the commission is, they can earn a dime.

However, as the power of some people grows, they will inevitably find a way to open up the channel to the United States.

But Pablo is not worried about this at all, he has been developing several years ahead of others, and if this is surpassed, then simply quit Medellín.

Of course, if necessary, Pablo will not show kindness and unite other forces to defeat potential threats.

After listening to his cousin's words and thinking about it, Pablo also thought that the proposal to buy a team, buy a TV station, and spend some money to help the poor in Medellín was very good.

But Pablo didn't think about taking out the money he was hiding.

If you want to buy a team or something, you naturally have to make more money.

"By the way, I asked you to find someone to check the Chicago mafia, is there a result?"

Gustavo shook his head, "I only know that Frank and Russell, the big guy behind him, have recently teamed up with a force that specializes in money business.

This is the only way to ship a large amount of money to Panama City in 20 days.

As for which force it is, even the leaders of the Chicago mafia do not know.

I guess Frank and Russell did it themselves. ”

Pablo thought about it, and knew that a force that had the ability to easily transfer millions of dollars across borders to Panama City would not be so easy to find out.

And if you really keep checking it, maybe the other party will find yourself first.

Then it's time for the gunman to come to the door.

"Then send someone to keep an eye on the Panama City airport, and have someone call us as soon as they find out that Frank has arrived in Panama City.

When the time comes, send someone to keep an eye on Frank, and you can always follow him and find someone in the bank. ”

Gustavo nodded, knowing that Pablo had to take a risk, nothing more than to drop the large sum of money hidden in Miami back to Medellín.

The Medellín Group is not only wholesale, but also retail.

In these days, when I took a plane, there was actually no security check, or rather, the security check only relied on people and dogs, not various instruments.

In terms of inspection, it naturally appears to be very loose.

So many flour merchants took advantage of the little girl, hid the flour in their clothes, and took it to Miami by plane.

Pablo, on the other hand, does more, and in all kinds of goods shipped to the United States, he can casually carry dozens of kilograms of flour.

Even if 5 of the 1 ships were found, the flour merchants would not lose money.

Shipping flour to Miami is more than 10 times profitable, and two out of 10 arrive safely, and the business is profitable.

In the future, Medellín will also invent small airplanes that will fly low from Mexico into the United States across Central America.

Then drop the flour packets, turn around and fly back to Mexico, then refuel in El Salvador or Nicaragua and fly back to Medellín.

If you go to Miami, the flight distance is shorter.

After spending billions of dollars on the border line, a large number of radars were set up for monitoring.

The people of Medellín simply spent hundreds of thousands, millions to buy a medium-sized transport plane, with a few tons of flour, and landed on a road in good condition.

Transfer the flour away, and the plane just threw it away.

Of course, this is more than a decade later.

When that doesn't work, Medellín will invent the ultimate means.

Build submarines.

Los Angeles, San Francisco and New York, which used to be difficult to ship directly to Los Angeles, San Francisco and New York, can be reached all the way with submarines.

The amount of flour transported every year has also soared from a few hundred tons to one or two thousand tons.

Billions, tens of billions of dollars flow to South America every year.

forced the United States to seek cooperation with Colombia to combat flour injuries, and finally even F16 fighter jets were sent out to fight the Medellín group.

It's a pity that the effect has been very poor, and in the end, some people have sent messages to Pablo.

Even in the branches of the United States Zhongqing Bureau and the Anti-Reading" Bureau in Colombia, some people have been bribed.

The Zhongqing Bureau even cooperated with flour growers in the rainforest to resell flour into the country to make extra money.

Gustavo nodded to Pablo and said, "It's not hard to keep an eye on Frank, but I'm afraid it's going to anger them." After all, Russell's position in the mafia is not low.

If he is bent on getting into trouble with us, or cooperating with our adversaries, it will have a great impact on our business. ”

Pablo shook his head, "Remember when Frank begged us to buy him 100,000 tons of grain?" ”

Gustavo nodded, and then his eyes lit up, "You mean, that guy is hiding from Russell and making small moves?" ”

Pablo smiled and nodded, "It's definitely going to be Russell and making extra money, but it's a good thing for us."

As long as Frank has his own thoughts, even if he sees our people staring at him, he won't immediately turn his face.

When the time comes, it's a big deal to give him a discount.

But as long as you know the forces behind him that provide him with fund transfer services.

A little discount is nothing. ”

Gustavo also understood this, and then thought about it, "I'm still worried that the people in the money bank will misunderstand our actions."

Once there is a war, it will not be good for everyone.

Otherwise, we will simply send Frank a batch of goods, or he will take the goods in the future, and we will give a 20% discount.

Ask him to introduce him directly, lest we stare at Frank at the same time, and the money behind him is also staring at him.

If it's not good, the people in the money bank might get rid of our people, or even Frank. ”

Pablo had to think about it seriously, for the sake of safety, if he was a person from the bank, there was a high probability that he would kill all the insiders.

Anyway, there is no shortage of people in this world who want to wash their funds clean, but there is a lack of money banks with ability and means.

One less customer, at most it is just less money.

And as long as he continues to cooperate with Russell, Russell will not go to war with the people of Qianzhuang for the sake of a subordinate.

It won't be difficult to get along with money.

"Well, that's right," Pablo said, looking at his cousin, "do as you want." ”

Gustavo nodded hurriedly, took the shovel and left.

Pablo scolded Gustavo's back, this kid must be unwilling to dig a hole, that's why he ran so fast.

Of course, Pablo's trust in his cousin is still very high, otherwise he would not have taken him to dig a pit and hide money.

It's a pity that Frank doesn't know how to contact Ichiro Matsuno if he wants to.

can only be said perfunctorily, this matter has to be tested and tested first, and the tone of the person in charge of the money bank must be tested.

And even if Qian Zhuang intends to cooperate with the Medellin Group, he will investigate it in advance.

It's not something that can be done in a month or two.

This made Gustavo feel that Frank was not perfunctory.

——

When Chu Xiangqian returned to the ranch in Los Angeles and continued to look through the, staring at Pablo to see if there was a manor and a place to hide money, the movie "Millie" started filming in Hollywood before "Roman Holiday".

As the producer, Chu Xiangqian naturally had to appear on the filming site, and even Mike Hyndman was pulled into the crew by him to stand on the stage for Wrinkle Huai, He Yichang, and more than a dozen behind-the-scenes staff on Hong Kong Island.

Chu Xiangqian knows his own business, and it is impossible to stay in the crew all the time.

In the end, most of the affairs of the crew will be handed over to Wrinkle Huai and He Yichang.

When Chu Xiangqian felt that there was no problem with the filming of the movie three days after the filming started, he relieved himself to hand over the producer's affairs to Wrinkle Huai.

Then he approached Mike Heilman, the general manager of Universal, and asked for a share of the box office for the second and third weeks of the Serpentine Trickster.

Mike directly got big, and after the theater learned that there was another drunken boxing, which was also starring Guo Zhenhua, he didn't deliberately drag it out and not give a share of the box office.

But even according to normal rules, it is usually a month or two.

Many of the films of those small and medium-sized film companies have to be dragged for several months, or even a year and a half, to get the money after they go offline.

The money didn't arrive, and Chu Xiangqian was not surprised, he deliberately ran over just to reflect Mike, don't want to drag it out.

Then take out the cat and mouse script that I drew in my free time these days.

Mike was busy with hundreds of scripts, opened them and looked at them, and was immediately attracted by Jerry, a little mouse.

Reading all the way, it's not so much a script as a comic book.

As long as you find someone to make an animation based on this drawing, you can make the first 10 episodes of Cat and Mouse in a month or two at most.

Chu Xiangqian doesn't plan to find a Hollywood cartoonist to produce, there is actually no shortage of talent on Hong Kong Island.

What is lacking is only production experience, and when I heard that Chu Xiangqian wanted to dig a mature animation production team to go to Hong Kong Island.

Mike thought about it and nodded in agreement.

Anyway, Universal didn't have much success in comics, and his mind wasn't on animated movies.

In that case, Mike wished that someone would jump out and compete with Disney.

This Mickey Mouse's status in Hollywood at this time is actually very embarrassing.

It's not wrong to say that it's Hollywood's eight, but no matter how well animated films are made, they can't compare to the influence of live-action movies.

For the next two or three decades, Disney's presence in Hollywood has been low.

To put it bluntly, actors and most directors can't profit from Disney, and people naturally don't pay attention to Disney.

Even when Disney's animated movie was released, it robbed the audience of other live-action movies, and it was too late to hate Disney, so the ghost stood up for them.

Moreover, the production period of an animated film often takes two or three years, which means that there are actually very few movies released by Disney every year.

This also forced Disini to focus on TV cartoons in the future.

Compared with animated films, TV cartoons can be broadcast while being produced, and the requirements for quality will be much lower.

And as the number of TVs owned by households becomes more and more right, Disney's income is not as good as that of live-action movies, but the income ratio is very stable.

Other big Hollywood companies have tried to make cartoons themselves, but they have never been able to shake Dishini's position in the field of animation.

Naturally, I wish someone would jump out and compete with Disney.

That's why Mike will agree to the matter of a mature animation production team.

Chu Xiangqian turned his head and threw this matter to Wrinkle Huai.

I was thinking again, when I returned to the capital, I would try to let the Modu Animation Factory try to make a few episodes of Cat and Mouse.

If it's not bad, then Hong Kong Island and the magic capital will be produced simultaneously, so as not to draw it quickly before it is broadcast.

Cat and Mouse has 161+3 episodes in the classic version alone, that is, the manuscript version.

The next few hundred episodes are not as good and interesting as the manuscript version, to put it bluntly, it is still due to the cost.

But in the magic city and Hong Kong Island, the cost is certainly only a fraction of Hollywood's, or even a dozen.

An excellent cartoonist in Hollywood earns a monthly salary of several hundred dollars, which is equivalent to one or two thousand Hong Kong dollars.

In addition, the team that produces animation, whether it is the salary or the production cost, will be higher than that of Hong Kong Island and the Celestial Empire.

An episode can cost tens of thousands of dollars, to say the least.

And as time goes by, the wages will definitely get higher and higher, and maybe they will ask for that share.

can find a cooperation with the Magic Capital Animation Studio, maybe three or four thousand dollars can make an episode.

Before production, you can also draw a comic script for Chu Qianqian to read, so as to avoid appearing, the style of painting changes drastically, and deviates from the humorous theme.

After taking care of Hollywood's affairs, Chu Xiangqian flew to New York to stay with Margaret for three days, discussed the interior decoration of the private jet, and then sent her on a special plane to London.

Then I bought a ticket back to Hong Kong Island.

I contacted Ichiro Matsuno first, and at the price of 3,000 Hong Kong dollars a bottle, I gave Ichiro Matsuno 1,000 bottles.

Happy, Matsuno, this little trick, can't close his mouth when he laughs.

I also understand in my heart that this is a reward for taking people to the United States to do things for Chu Qianqian.

Otherwise, Chu Xiangqian had said before that the share of tiger bone wine given to the island country every year was likely to be only one or two thousand bottles.

But this time, with the addition of the previous ones, there are already 2,000 bottles.

received 750,000 US dollars, or 3 million Hong Kong dollars, from Ichiro Matsuno, and then gave Matsuno 1,000 boxes of deer glue.

Another $400,000.

With a total price of 1.15 million US dollars, Chu Xiangqian will reduce the amount of pounds charged as much as possible in the future, lest the pound depreciate faster than the dollar on that day in the future, and he will suffer a loss at the exchange rate.

Chu Xiangqian made a lot of money, and Matsuno Ichiro actually made a lot of money.

This batch of goods, to say the least, also has a profit of more than 30%.

But he has to be too separated from his father Matsuno, and Matsuno Ichiro will naturally be dissatisfied with his father.

Coupled with the money he earned in the United States with Chu Xiangqian, Matsuno Ichiro felt more and more in his heart that following Chu Xiangqian would be more promising.
