"Hello? Minahan? I have already left. Sorry, I couldn't meet you this time."
In the luxury car going to the airport, Ronald received a call from Minahan. He did not receive the invitation. After getting the news, he rushed to the party. After finally getting in, he found that the Ronald who wanted to meet had already met Dai.
Ann left.
"Gaga, it's okay. I just want to meet and chat with you. Recently, my resignation from the Cannon has been announced, and now no one in Hollywood is willing to talk to me." Minahan Grant has now become a five-star actor again.
A nobody from years ago.
However, his mentality became normal. He made some small investments, made some weird B-level movies, and sold them to Europe. This kind of business not only allowed him to make a little money, but also allowed him to regain his original passion for making movies.
The original intention of the movie is that people have become much happier.
"I'm going to New York to meet with the NYPD people to identify him... Right, you heard about it, right? You want to see me? Now? Oh, I'll be waiting for takeoff at the airport. If you're free, we can still have time to meet."
"Okay, I'll go... quack"
"Ronnie, I found that you are very kind to old friends. Many people don't want to see Minahan Gran now and only deal with his cousin Yoram." Diane smiled and hugged Rona.
said De's arm.
"Minahan actually sticks to his exploitation film strategy and will not go bankrupt. It's just that he suddenly got hundreds of millions of funds and doesn't know what he wants to do..." Ronald feels that now he is separated from Cannon, said
Maybe it's still a good thing.
There were not many people in the airport. Ronald was sitting in the VIP terminal watching TV, waiting for Minahan to come over.
"Chorando se foi quem um dia so me fez chorar
Chorando se foi quem um dia so me fez chorar”
There was a girl in the waiting room who turned the TV to the MTV channel. Her father came over and nodded to Ronald to apologize, and was about to turn back to the CUU news station when Ronald was fascinated by the enthusiastic dance above.
, making gestures to ask him not to change the channel.
“Chorando estará ao lembrar de um amor
Que um dia n?o soube cuidar”
The MV captured the scenery of a tropical island, with a Brazilian-looking female singer wearing a yellow skirt singing, and men and women dancing a very exotic, passionate and unrestrained dance.
"What's this song called?" Ronald muttered.
Although the music has a very Brazilian style, it is not the rumba that Brazilians are famous for. Unlike rumba, which has a lot of knee movements, this dance emphasizes the crotch of men and women sticking together, and is more like an indigenous dance with a Latin style.
"I don't know, this seems to be in Portuguese..." Diane couldn't understand either, but she recognized that it was a good song. Following the rhythm, she learned the dance on TV and slowly danced, and also invited Ronald
Together.
"Hahaha..." Ronald also faced her crotch and slowly learned to dance. They were both from the entertainment industry, and the two of them danced in a decent manner. The girl who changed the channel was stunned.
, and applauded them.
"What's the name of this song?" Ronald asked her.
"Call Lombada..."
"Lombada...Lombada...", Ronald quickly found a notebook and wrote it down. The MV was shot at a very good level. In addition to the passionate dance, there is also a plot. A black kid works in a beach bar and also wants to dance. The white shop owner
The daughter also looked at him, and the two dancing souls collided.
Although the white shop owner didn't like his daughter dancing such a suggestive dance with others at such a young age, after the female singer invited him to dance the Lombada together, his rigidity was melted away by the dance, and everyone started dancing together enthusiastically.
.
"If I had just entered the industry, I would have adapted this MV into a movie..." Ronald said to Diane in his arms while watching the TV. This MV, which is more than three minutes long, has foreshadowing, ups and downs, and...
The protagonist has supporting roles, and there is a very good happy ending. The remake into a movie will definitely be a hit.
"What movie, what dance? Ronald, what movie are you talking about? Ah!"
Minahan, who had just arrived and was out of breath, happened to hear what Ronald said and hurriedly came up to ask for details. When he and Ronald took off, it was because of a "Break Dance".
"Lombada..." Ronald handed him the name. Of course he knew Minahan's purpose. It was just to find Ronald to collaborate again. Now he happened to come across this pop music with great potential. Maybe it could be repeated.
What about the success of "Break Dance" back then?
"Quack..." Minahan looked at the music on MTV again (many music videos on MTV are played repeatedly). Although he has some production ability, he still has no good vision and can find someone with superior ability.
Pull him to do it together.
"Hurry up and negotiate the adaptation rights!" Ronald stopped Minahan, who was already waving his butt happily, "There are not many discerning people. This MV is so popular now. If you are too late, you will be in trouble...
…”
After seeing off the satisfied Minahan, Ronald and Diane boarded a business jet and flew to New York.
It was already the morning of the next day when we arrived at the airport in New York, and little Douglas and Donna were already waiting there.
"How many days will you stay here this time?" Donna whispered while holding her good friend Diane since childhood. She was waiting for bodyguard Dan to check the vehicle and exit.
"This time I mainly accompany him. I won't be able to stay for a few days. I will go back immediately for an audition..."
"How are you...?" Donna gestured to Diane with her eyes.
"Hey...still like that..." Dai Anxin said that your brother hasn't expressed it yet.
"Do you still remember the gift we gave him then? Give it to him again this time to remind him of what happened back then?" Donna still wanted Diane to marry Ronald, at least as an open girlfriend.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "What about you? How are you?"
"Hmm..." The two of them murmured and discussed the matter.
Douglas Jr. was also discussing with Ronald, "Thomas Stephenson, Jr., the young man of the Hollywood Cinema Chain, came to inspect our movie theater on Staten Island. He asked me if I wanted to take a shareholding. His Hollywood Cinema Chain is now expanding.
…”
"Should we continue to acquire movie theaters? I would like to, but those old movie theaters don't make much money and have to be invested in maintenance... It would be better if we build new ones..."
"The newly built ones are all multi-hall ones, so the investment is huge..."
"You don't understand. The turnover rate of multiplex movie theaters is high, but in fact it's cheaper..."
"How are you and my sister doing?" Ronald finished talking about business and looked at little Doug again. Others didn't dare to talk about his own affairs, but he was not happy that little Doug had not officially confirmed his relationship with Donna.
"I'm very willing, but Donna recently asked me to do something, and I'm still hesitant. I don't want to mix these two things..." Little Doug looked a little distressed. Donna was selling him an investment recently, and he didn't want to.
Determine the relationship between the two at this time, otherwise it seems like Donna wants to exchange something.
"You kid..." Ronald twisted his neck and used a wrestling technique.
"Hey, hey..." Little Doug immediately got rid of it, then turned over and twisted Ronald's collar.
"Hey, what are you two doing?" Donna noticed and said loudly.
"Ah, it's okay. Ronald and I will compete to see whose wrestling skills are better..."
"Ah, right..." Ronald glanced at little Doug. He still respected Donna very much. It was probably because he didn't want to have any financial problems with Donna and be criticized by his family.
His sister couldn't suffer like this, Ronald thought to himself, I'd better pay for it.
…
"There are photos of suspects here. Please look at them carefully, recall them slowly, and tell me if you are sure..." A detective was showing Ronald a large book of photos.
Ronald pointed out a black man, whose red eyes impressed him deeply.
"Okay, thank you. The next thing..."
"You can talk to me next. My client is a respected and busy Hollywood director..." Lawyer Lindsay negotiated with him from the side.
"Tell me, what kind of investment is it?"
Ronald pulled Donna, who came to play with Diane, to the side and chatted with her privately.
"What investment?" Donna played dumb.
"Stop pretending, Doug told me..." Ronald touched Donna's head.
"This idiot..." Donna cursed angrily. She stopped pretending and told Ronald the whole story.
It turns out that Donna's boss, Mr. Simmons, and his Renaissance Fund suffered huge losses from last year to this year.
Professor James Akers, the algebraist who helped him build the model, refused to admit that there was a problem with the model and continued to operate. By the end of last month, the accumulated losses had exceeded 40%. Simons used the funds of major shareholders
Power ended its cooperation with him.
Although Simons was not the most talented in mathematics, he still had a good eye. He saw that there was a flaw in the Akers model, which would treat noise as a signal under certain conditions. He found another
The mathematician Ervin Burlekamp of Berkeley came to help him fix the loophole.
This time the new model has been adjusted. Simmons has to deal with a large number of shareholder withdrawals and has to allocate investment quotas to employees. Those who invest one million US dollars can become qualified buyers. Those who invest five million US dollars can become qualified buyers.
Qualified investors enjoy priority rights.
Donna's previous investment, plus what Ronald lent her, has fallen a lot. Adding some of her own savings and her mother's money, it just amounts to one million U.S. dollars. She hopes that her future husband can match her
Take this rare opportunity and pay five million to become a big customer.
She has been looking at the performance of Simmons' model all the way and knows that if it were not for this loophole, the return rate last year would have exceeded 40%, so she is full of confidence in the future. But what she doesn't understand is that other people in Doug's family,
Don't treat her as a rich person.
"Hahaha, I will pay for this money, half of it is what I lent you, and the other half is what I invested." Ronald said to Donna with a smile.
"Thank you..." Donna was very happy, but she was still worried about her boyfriend.
"This is also the right thing for him to do. If you have wealth that rivals his, then all doubts will disappear..." Ronald expressed Doug's concerns. In fact, this is not necessarily a bad thing. Let Doug make money.
It's better to let Donna make her own money.
Donna suddenly understood.
"Don't be like this, Doug still loves you and doesn't want your reputation to be slandered..." Ronald touched her head.
"By the way, Diane is coming today, and we have to give you a gift. Do you remember the gift she and I bought for you as a joint venture?" Donna quickly adjusted her mood. Ronald was right,
As long as Doug loves himself, it will be the same for Donna to make money herself.
"Of course I remember..." Ronald pointed to the computer in the room. The "WordStar" software used to write scripts was given by the two of them back then.
…
"Ronnie, this is a gift from Donna and I to you..." Diane came not long after, and she took out a wrapped floppy disk and handed it to Ronald.
"Thank you..." Ronald hugged her happily, remembering all the past events, which was pleasant.
"Would you like to try it?" Diane still admired people who could write scripts.
Ronald took out a floppy disk with "Microsoft Word for Windows" written on it.
"This shortcut key is not universal..." Ronald was typing and realized something was wrong. There were many differences between this new software and the Text Star he was used to.
"Isn't this quite simple?" Diane understood. She reached out to hold the mouse, selected a piece of text, and then clicked "Copy" to copy it.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Hey? How did you do that?"
"What do people who buy things say? If you can use a mouse, you can use it..."
"Huh?" Ronald looked at Diane and thought that this software is very cheap to learn. Anyone can use it?
It’s not like I use Word Star. Once I become proficient, I can type and type very quickly, and my thoughts will pour out on the screen all the time. But to learn dozens of commonly used shortcut keys, I have to be familiar with them for a month or two.
.
It seems that this Word is very suitable for ordinary people to use. There is no need to learn it, as long as you can type, you can use it.
The two were bored for a while, and Ronald turned on the TV. All major channels were continuing to follow and report on the Central Park jogger case.
The poor lady has regained consciousness. The NYPD said that it would interview her when the situation permits. Originally, the doctor judged that her recovery was slim. But surprisingly, the lady was very strong. After waking up, the case
Crackdowns and convictions can be greatly accelerated.
Ronald looked at the pictures of the hospital on the TV and felt more and more uncomfortable. He quickly changed the channel.
"Omaha's Berkshire Hathaway disclosed that it has acquired a large number of shares in Coca-Cola and became the latest major shareholder. Mr. Buffy, the company's chairman, revealed that the total share capital has reached US$1.024 billion."
Has it finally been announced?
Ronald watched the news with a smile. The average price of Buffy's shares was 15 times the price-earnings ratio. Because he bought it early, the average price was even lower. Although it was only one-fifteenth of the number of Buffy's shares, it was still
A small fortune.
Besides, his acquisition news was announced today...
Ronald looked at the subtitles scrolling at the bottom of the screen. Today's Coca-Cola stock price rose in response. One day's income was almost enough to pay for Donna's investment.
"Hahaha……"
"What are you laughing at?" Diane didn't know why.
"I like to drink Coca-Cola..."
"Humph..." Diane knew that Ronald refused to say anything, so she took off her shoes, sat on the sofa and pressed close to Ronald.
Ronald slowly stroked Diane's waist, thinking about his own thoughts.
I also received my box office share at the end of last year and the first quarter of this year. In addition to investing 4 million in Donna and building some new cinemas in partnership with Doug, what should I do with the extra 50 million in cash income?
You don’t need to put up much money for a few movies that are confirmed to be invested. Anyway, there are people following the investment, so you only need to invest a few million. If you continue to buy Coca-Cola, it will be too late. The price has gone up too much today, and Buffy won’t give it.
Say hello yourself.
So what should I buy? Ronald saw the outer packaging of the Word software that Diane gave to him on the table.
Huh? How about buying some from Microsoft? There must be a lot of people using this software. Ronald has filmed "Working Girl" and knows that many secretaries have never learned WordStar. With this software, at least all secretaries must buy it, right?
"How much does your software cost? Honey." Ronald asked.
"498 Oh..." Diane kissed Ronald. This little gift seemed to have a good effect.
"So expensive? What are you waiting for?" Ronald jumped up and called his accountant, "Just buy this stock!"
