After going to work on Monday, Ronan officially signed a real estate contract and purchased the luxury estate. The purchase payment was paid on a mortgage, with a down payment of US$10 million. The remaining payment was paid off in ten years.

This will not bring much financial pressure to Ronan.

Some people have said that people who really do careers are good at financing and loans.

Some equipment is needed to be added to the manor, and the gardens and other places also need to be slightly renovated according to Ronan's requirements. Ronan will not move there for the time being, and it will take as soon as one month to move.

In the past few days, Ronan has also been buying various supplies in a crazily manner, spending millions of dollars on spending.

For example, the car has a very large garage in the manor, which is empty. Ronan went to the Motor City in Los Angeles specifically for a walk. He originally wanted to replace this ordinary Cadillac and buy a Rolls-Royce Phantom.

When I went to see the car, I found that the Sixth Generation Phantom, which is currently on sale, was an earlier design, and I gave up it.

It is estimated that the seventh generation Phantom will take several years to go on the market.

Ronan temporarily gave up the Rolls-Royce and instead ordered a black elegant car at Bentley.

The new car will not be delivered until the second half of the year at the earliest.

Of course, this kind of car is not suitable for self-driving. It is a work car. Ronan sometimes drives by himself and chooses a BMW X5 that was launched in the United States in 1999.

Originally, Ronan was considering the off-road vehicle of the Mercedes-Benz G series. After all, the angular and tough shape is very consistent with the masculine temperament of a man, but the test drive feels not very good. This car has not yet undergone major modifications, the seats are a bit hard, the road performance is relatively average, and the comfort is not very good.

Ronan didn't consider driving to off-road, so he simply gave up.

I vaguely remember that a car owner in his previous life joked that he was either refueling or on the way to the gas station.

Then, with the recommendation of Tom Cruise, I bought a McLaren sports car.

The fiery red appearance is very suitable for showing off.

Having said that, this seems to be the biggest function of sports cars.

In addition, Ronan is also planning to buy a five-seater Ford pickup after moving, which is used as a vehicle for workers at home.

You can buy the subsequent vehicles slowly. With his financial resources, he can buy them if he encounters them.

Tom Cruise also took a day to take Ronan to see the wine to enrich the huge empty wine cellar in Ronan's home.

Ronan would also drink a few drinks at the right time, but he was not an alcoholic.

There are a lot of champagne, whiskey, brandy, vodka and red wine, etc.

"Do you have any special hobbies?"

In the wine company's huge exhibition hall, Tom Cruise asked Ronan: "Which wine I like, I can give you more."

Ronan said without hesitation: "Look at Lafite in 1982."

Tom Cruise almost vomited blood, but it wasn't that he couldn't afford it or was reluctant to buy it, rather than being difficult to do it.

"Many of the 1982-year-old Rafis on the market are fake." Tom Cruise said directly: "I can't give you a fake bar?"

Ronan thought for a while and said, "Laffie in 1999."

I vaguely remember when I was drinking with a customer in my previous life, I heard that the 1999 Lafite is another classic model after the 1982 Lafite. The authentic 1999 Lafite is very rare.

Tom Cruise responded happily: "It's easy to say that Lafite from 1999, I'll ask someone to go to the winery to purchase it directly."

It is only 2001 now, and this red wine is far less scarce and highly fried than it was later.

Luo Nan asked the business person next to him: "Do you have Oriental liquor?"

"How many are there?" the business person in charge replied.

Luo Nan asked directly: "Is there any Moutai?"

"Yes." The business person in charge said embarrassedly: "There are only a few bottles of sample wine."

Ronan waved his hand: "Forget it."

There was a saying in my previous life that speculation in real estate is worse than speculation in Moutai.

Perhaps like Lafite in some years, Moutai is also a wildly hyped liquor. It is said that some people have made a fortune by hoarding Moutai liquor.

Ronan just ordered a few bottles of sample wine, but there was no intention of purchasing in large quantities. After all, this wine is too small in the Western market, and it will be too wasteful of time and energy.

Having said that, probably the level of his previous life was not enough. Luo Nan rarely saw anyone drinking Maotai. When dining, it was mainly red wine and local liquor.

For example, in his hometown, the name of the generation of Nucizong was turned into a liquor brand. Even the well-known blended wine is the absolute overlord in the local market.

During lunch, Tom Cruise opened a bottle of Moutai.

After taking a sip, Tom Cruise pushed the glass aside: "This wine tastes a bit strange, it doesn't suit my taste."

Ronan drank a little and simply suggested: "Let's change to something else."

Perhaps because he was used to drinking strong-scented blended wine in his previous life, he was not used to the sauce-flavored taste.

The wine that Tom Cruise gave to Ronan was delivered to the manor one after another that afternoon. Some of the wines that need to be ordered will be delivered in a while.

Ronan took advantage of the two days to interview a British butler and several female workers. After all, people also needed to manage the manor.

The first thing to be determined was the security personnel. David and Finch recommended two well-trained personnel. Although they were a little older, they were more than enough to act as gatekeepers.

There is no need to worry about the people behind the scenes, and it is not too late to find them when the manor is about to be adjusted.

Ronan got good news at this time. He had completed the post-production "Spy Shadows" and submitted samples and applications to Dongfang's Big Scissors, and successfully passed the introduction and review of Big Scissors, thus qualifying to be released in cinemas across the Pacific.

A little later, "Monster Shrek" also passed the review, and the Oriental Office established by Embassy Film Corporation played an important role.

Although the share is a little smaller, thirteen percent of the share is to remove a series of expenses such as publicity and taxation, which is almost pure profit.

Unfortunately, the most profitable peripheral aspects of animated films like "Monster Shrek" will basically not generate revenue in Oriental.

In addition, peripheral products from two large OEM factories in the East have been shipped to all parts of the world after strict factory inspection, including North America.

Even if the shipping costs are included, the cost of these products is more than half lower than Disney-related products.

Disney has cheap purchasing channels, but the Indian products in this era are too unreliable. The health quarantine alone is often blocked by customs.

Although "Spy Shadows" has not been released yet, the sequel has also started. After Paul Greengras finished production and took a leave, co-wrote the screenwriter Tony Gilroy began to create the sequel script.

In addition, there is one thing that is very important for Ronan.

The original author Robert Lu Delun was seriously ill for several years, and he died of illness several times in 2001 and did not see "Borne's Identity" appearing on the big screen with his own eyes.

This has to be said to be a kind of regret.

Before the Oscars, Ronan also attended Robert Ludron's funeral with Paul Greengrass and Matt Damon.

Unfortunately, Robert Lu Delun's active era is a bit far away. His death has almost caused much trouble in the media and book fans, and has even been gradually forgotten.

Ronan asked someone to contact Robert Lu Delun's family, who did not want Robert Lu Delun to be forgotten and hoped that his father's name would spread throughout the United States as in the 1980s.

In this way, there is no need to worry about it.

"Absolutely not possible!"

At an Embassy Films release conference, Ronan was very angry, as if he was extremely sad about this: "Robert Lu Delun is the father of political thriller novels and should not be forgotten. We have the responsibility and obligation to remind people all over the world about what outstanding works Robert Lu Delun has written."

Robert was the first to agree: "Yes, it's very necessary."

Others were a little confused, so David Villa asked tentatively: "We want to promote Robert Ludelun?"

Ronan said: "Yes. This is very necessary. Fans and book fans should commemorate such a great novelist. David, you are responsible for developing a promotional and memorial plan for Robert Ludelun, and launching related activities in the media and the public from May."

David Villa came back and said, "I will take someone to do it myself."

Ronan said very seriously: "You can contact Robert Lu Delun's publishing house, and they will probably be interested."

How can a great writer pass away in obscurity? His death should be missed by countless people, reminding countless book fans of his works, and letting countless people deeply mourn in the form of entering the theater to watch movies adapted from his works.

Ronan believes that as long as the publicity is appropriate, many people will definitely make such choices.

Robert Lu Delun is a person worth remembering.

An excellent business novelist, like some actors, is worth more than just before his death.

Ronan characterizes this as a charity event.

There are many similar charity activities across the United States, such as donating half of your own assets to charities, etc.

At the same time, after "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" premiered on North American TV, DVDs and videotapes also entered the offline market with great momentum. In just one week of its launch, DVDs alone sold 1.8 million copies, with sales of up to US$38.5 million.

Among all the winning films of this year's Oscar, it is second only to "Gladiator".

Gladiator's first week DVD sales reached nearly $50 million.

Of course, these are far worse than "Spider-Man" which will be launched next year. "Spider-Man" can be said to have opened a new era of Hollywood movie DVD: DVD sales exceeded 100 million in the first week, with a total sales of US$210 million.

When Ronan remembered it, he sighed at Marvel's behavior of selling his son. Why did he sell Spider-Man so early?

That is, since the release of the "Spider-Man" movie, in the next eight or nine years, the annual sales of Hollywood movies in DVDs have surpassed the total annual box office in North America.

There will be a large number of movies with annual sales of 10 million DVDs every year in the future.

Even, Di Baby dragged out all the classic animations of the past and released DVDs next to each other. Old films like "The Lion King" can easily squeeze into the top ten DVD sales of the year.

Baby Di holds a large number of priceless treasures in her hand.
