The four hundred and fortieth chapters spend money like flowing water
Spending money like water is a word that can perfectly describe Lin Chen's living situation in recent times.
He spends money at a speed that even Taylor would be ashamed of.
As a Grammy darling, Taylor's ability to make money is unquestionable.
In the few years since her debut, she has earned hundreds of millions of dollars, and as long as she is willing, there are countless commercial brands willing to pay tens of millions for her to endorse them.
But despite this, when he saw how fast Lin Chen was spending money these days, Taylor couldn't help but want to ask Lin Chen, would there be any problems if he spent his money like this?
In the past few days, Lin Chen first spent US$90 million to buy MJ's Neverland estate.
Then, he spent five million US dollars on the same day to sign a contract with California's largest security company. This company was solely responsible for the security of Neverland Manor. A 20-person security team immediately entered the manor to maintain security.
There was a construction team that started installing probes and other monitoring and security equipment on the manor that day.
In addition, Lin Chen also specially invited a construction team from China, with a total number of perhaps a hundred people, who will be responsible for repairing the entire manor in the next few months.
To this end, Lin Chen has prepared to spend 30 million US dollars in repair costs, and can increase the upper limit at any time.
In addition to buying the manor, Lin Chen also negotiated investments in two companies, Uber and Tesla, in the past two days.
Although the money invested by these two companies mainly belonged to Ivanka and Taylor, when acquiring Tesla's shares, Lin Chen himself also spent US$200 million to pay for Ivanka.
In just a few days, Lin Chen spent a total of more than 300 million US dollars, which really opened Taylor's eyes.
Lin Chen actually spent the money he earned after working hard for several years and even his singing voice was almost hoarse in just a few days...
As expected, people are more irritating than others.
And this is not over yet. In the past few days, Ivanka's investment adviser has begun negotiations with Netflix and is preparing to invest in them.
Although the consultant is Ivanka, the one who really wants to invest is naturally Lin Chen.
However, before he couldn't help complaining about Lin Chen's excessive spending, Taylor was surprised to find out how versatile his man really was.
Because he was busy preparing for the Grammys, Taylor didn't know that Lin Chen suddenly started writing a script.
When she discovered the script for "House of Cards" written by Lin Chen and Ivanka, she fell into it and became as addicted as Ivanka.
In the blink of an eye, a few days have passed.
The turmoil caused by the Grammy Awards has finally calmed down a bit.
There was nothing they could do if they didn't calm down, because Taylor and Lin Chen moved into Dreamland, and the paparazzi and crazy fans outside suddenly lost their focus.
And if Taylor can't be found, the paparazzi won't be able to sustain themselves for long just by relying on the gossip news they write out of their own imagination.
In addition, in a few days, it will be the Basketball League’s All-Star Game.
Therefore, the gossip about Taylor and Lin Chen has gradually faded away in the media. Only on the Internet, a new media, there are still Taylor's die-hard fans who are constantly attacking and cursing Lin Chen who stole their goddess, and are fighting for
In support of Lin Chen, Chinese netizens who climbed over the wall continued their war of words on the Internet.
Most of the paparazzi reporters gradually withdrew from the vicinity of Taylor's home and instead targeted the basketball stars who gathered in Los Angeles for the All-Star Game.
At this time, Lin Chen, who had been in seclusion for many days, left Neverland Manor and went to Netflix headquarters with Ivanka's translated script.
Negotiations with Netflix have reached a critical moment, but the two parties have been unable to agree on the shares. Lin Chen's attack this time is to prepare for the final blow to Netflix.
The chairman of Netflix is Reed Hastings. He is not only the chairman of Netflix, but also the current CEO.
Because Netflix has been having a hard time recently, Reid is naturally very welcoming to anyone willing to invest in Netflix.
It was just that Lin Chen wanted to get too many shares, which was unacceptable to Reed, so the two sides remained in a stalemate.
In his office, Reed solemnly received Lin Chen and his party.
When he saw that the person who wanted to acquire him was actually a Chinese, Reid was stunned for a moment.
At the same time, the other person's appearance reminded him of someone.
"Mr. Lin Chen, are you the Chinese guy who kissed Miss Taylor at the Grammys?"
Today Lei Long stepped forward as Lin Chen's translator. After listening to his translation, Lin Chen nodded and admitted generously.
He then said: "Mr. Reed, my time is valuable, so let's be honest. I hope to get at least 10% of Netflix's shares. Before coming, I have already reached an agreement with Netflix's major shareholders."
acquisition agreement, but they told me that the board of directors had a preemptive subscription agreement, and all equity transactions must obtain your consent, and they can only proceed if you give up the preemptive equity?"
Lin Chen's words made Reed burst into laughter: "Mr. Lin, you are right. And I must regret to tell you that although I am happy to see some people maintain confidence in the company, I cannot allow the company's equity to be concentrated in one
10%? Sorry, you want too much. Even I only hold less than 5% of the company's equity."
"I ask for a lot, naturally because I am very optimistic about Netflix's future." Lin Chen said with a smile.
Reed thanked: "Thank you for your compliment. I also have confidence in Netflix. The current setback is only temporary, and Netflix will definitely soar in the future."
“Are you talking about Netflix’s plans for original series?”
Reed was stunned for a moment, but he soon understood that Lin Chen must have done some research in advance.
Netflix's original series plan has begun preparations. This is not a secret, so it is normal for Lin Chen to know.
"Yes, Mr. Lin, our original series is planned to be launched by the end of the year, and Netflix's value will be proven by then."
Lin Chen smiled and said: "Mr. Reed, I'm afraid you misunderstood. I have great confidence in Netflix, but this confidence does not lie in your original series. I have also inquired about your series?
To be honest... I don't think a science fiction drama can save Netflix's stock price. Science fiction dramas are very good, but the audience is too small."
"This...Mr. Lin, I have confidence in this series!" Reid hesitated and said.
But he actually knew very well that there were doubts within the company about the science fiction drama. Many people did not think that a TV series imitating the theme of "Star Trek" could save Netflix's declining stock price...
But as the initiator of the plan, he must always show confidence in front of outsiders, otherwise the entire plan may collapse before it is implemented.
Seeing Reed's expression, Lin Chen raised the corner of his mouth: "Mr. Reed, don't force it, I can see that you yourself are also doubtful about this TV series, but you don't have a good choice now. But...
!”
"What if I have a better choice here?"
"Better choice?"
When Reed was confused, Lin Chen took out the script for the first season of "Paper Plate House" and handed it to him.
