“I said, you’ve never opened a pharmacy or managed a convenience store, but you’ve made a movie?

It's not that easy. The money you and Da Jun have combined is only enough to hire a decent movie star. How to shoot the rest is not as simple as you think."

Han Chudong was slightly speechless.

The first thought was that it was not feasible and the threshold was too high.

After thinking about it for a while, I felt that it was actually okay. There are so many good movies in my head and I still remember the theme and plot. The investment in some low-budget movies would not be too large.

Even if it doesn't become popular, it should be no problem to recover the cost.

Zhou Nan had inspired Han Chudong, who had also wanted to venture into Hollywood. Unfortunately, due to a lack of funds, he had to embark on the path of starting from scratch. As time went by, he was too busy to focus on the film industry.

Driver Wu parked the car and arrived at the dock. Not far away on the sea were dozens of yachts of various sizes, ranging from a dozen meters to thirty or forty meters in length.

As mentioned before, it is the second largest city in the United States after all, and there is no shortage of rich people in Hollywood.

The time is 3:30 in the afternoon.

The sun was high overhead, the temperature was over 20 degrees Celsius, and the sea breeze was blowing in my face, accompanied by the sound of waves, which was just comfortable.

When Zhou Nan got out of the car, he continued, "It's because we don't have enough money that we asked you to join us. Forget about the guy with glasses. He doesn't have much money and isn't interested. I called him and asked him."

"...I have an idea. When we get back, we'll find a barbecue stall and ask Dajun to sit down and have a detailed chat. Let's make it clear first, what to shoot and how to shoot it are up to me. Don't blame me for taking over. Your vision for choosing scripts is not as good as mine."

"Oh, I admit that I can't make as much money as you and I can't do business as you.

But have you forgotten what my dad used to do? A ticket collector at a movie theater! I grew up in movie theaters until he was fired. When it comes to movies, I really can’t stand you!”

"I see that it's not easy for you to make money, and I'm afraid that it will all be wasted in the end. There's no room for negotiation. If we become partners, I have the final say on the script." Han Chudong didn't care whether he obeyed or not. Just for bringing up the idea of ​​Star Wars, Zhou Nan would have to kneel down in front of him and call him master. How could he dare to give his money to the two of them to waste.

There are too many entrepreneurial paths for Han Chudong to choose from, especially now that he has accumulated a certain amount of capital.

Rainbow Beauty Company has no loans, and the Intel shares it just purchased today can also be used as a second mortgage. With the hot sales of facial mask products, the company's valuation has increased. The overall debt ratio of Mason United Group is not high, less than 20%.

As Mr. John D. Rockefeller said before his death, to do business, you must be brave enough to borrow money to develop. He plans to wait until all the Rainbow Beauty Stores under preparation are opened and the performance gradually stabilizes, then he will talk to the bank and borrow another sum of money.

That's why he dared to buy Intel shares early and also considered extending his reach to Hollywood.

As long as the people in the bank's asset valuation department are not blind, they can probably assess the approximate value of the mask paper patent and the mask appearance patent based on the mask sales data.

Right now, the total valuation is at least over 30 million US dollars, which means a lot of money can be borrowed from the bank.

"...Okay, let's talk about it after the army returns."

"By the way, if you hadn't mentioned the movie I would have almost forgotten. Last time I asked Mochizuki Kiko to help me find out about a movie, but I don't know if she found out."

“Whose movie?”

"A new director, I only know the name is 'Jaws.'" Han Chudong said calmly.

He remembered that the filming of this movie should have been quite recent, and he knew that it caused a sensation after its release, making director Steven Spielberg famous and winning an Oscar, which meant that it should make quite a lot of money.

I suddenly remembered it some time ago and casually asked Kyoko Mochizuki about it, and then the matter was left unresolved.

She didn't answer and he forgot to ask.

I was thinking that if it hasn't been filmed yet, maybe I could take it over and shoot it myself. Even if it has started filming, as long as it's not ready for release, I'll have a chance to get a piece of the pie.

Don't ever think that making movies doesn't make money. Bruce Lee's posthumous works brought tens of millions of dollars in profits to those investors. Especially for Han Chudong, doing this business is much easier than doing industrial business and is suitable for making quick money.

…

With the invitation letter, I came to the dock and boarded the ship.

A yacht more than 20 meters long, painted gray, looks quite upscale.

There were young men and women on the deck, about thirty people in total, and there were also male attendants wearing swimming trunks and bow ties, and girls wearing only bikinis providing service.

Zhou Nan's eyes almost popped out of his head, as he had never seen such a scene before. Han Chudong was not much better, as he faintly smelled the scent of a rich second-generation. Before coming here, he had never imagined that they would be so open-minded, with even the guests changing into swimsuits.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Today is Miss Caroline Litton's birthday. The friends invited are either rich or noble, and there are also some college classmates who are now excluded from the special small circle.

Miss Caroline Litton had just met Han Chudong yesterday. She was now wearing a bikini inside and a black short-sleeved shirt outside, revealing her long legs.

She came in front of Han Chudong and Zhou Nan and said with a slightly awkward voice, "I'm sorry, my brother arranged the party for me, but I didn't expect it to have this theme. I should have asked you to meet at another occasion. I thought it was just some friends drinking and chatting and enjoying the sea view."

"It's okay. This is my first time attending a party like this. It's quite interesting. Your name is Caroline Litton, right? I saw the notice at the pier.

Just call me Mason. This is my friend, Hugo Zhou, who is now in the toy trading business. I hope you don’t mind if I bring him to your party. Please accept this small gift.”

Han Chudong had already guessed why the other party took the initiative to invite her to the party.

There was no intersection at all before, but suddenly they came to me, it was probably because they were interested in Rainbow Beauty or Baofeng Electric Appliances.

Since he was after profit, he thought he had the initiative. He said don't mind it, and although it was impolite to bring Zhou Nan here rashly, it was not a big deal.

Miss Caroline Litton was instantly relieved when she heard him say this.

He was worried that because the scene was too childish, Han Chudong would think that he was also a childish person, which would affect his business.

As a woman, there are only a few industries that she likes to work in. Caroline really thinks that the development prospects of the Rainbow Mask Company are very good. She thinks that she has the opportunity to start a career and completely get rid of the influence of her family.

She was smiling and ready to take the wrapped gift, but a white man next to her snatched the gift first and said with a fake smile, "I didn't expect that Caroline has such a wide range of friends. You even have Asian friends. Classmates? Boyfriends?"

He was wearing dark blue swimming trunks and had a tall and sturdy figure. He looked like he had just gone swimming in the sea and his hair was still wet.

Caroline frowned immediately. The words were sarcastic and even she was unhappy. She hurriedly introduced Han Chudong and said, "This is my brother, Justin Litton. Please don't mind him. He is also a very badass..."
