In fact, there were special reasons for Sun Dahai's participation in these two bets, and it was not because of Sun Dahai's gambling nature. With the memory of rebirth, he had many ways to make money, and now he has enough
There is really no need to make money through gambling anymore.
Sun Dahai didn't take Luo Wanli's bet seriously at all. The 10 million Hong Kong dollar bet was no longer in Sun Dahai's eyes. He and Luo Wanli just didn't like each other, and the two of them were superior to each other.
I only started gambling when I was excited.
As for the bet with Brent, I really can’t blame Sun Dahai because his opponent was so good at choosing his bets.
Sun Dahai was worried that there was no suitable land for the star gas station project, so Brent came to his door. The bet he put out was the kind of not-for-sale product that Sun Dahai desperately needed but couldn't buy with money.
In this situation, good boy Sun Dahai couldn't refuse gambling even if he wanted to. There was really no other way.
Except for these few things that were already planned by Sun Dahai before traveling, the rest were all unexpected situations.
Richard took the initiative to invite the White Knight, otherwise Sun Dahai might have forgotten the classic case of the Bank of Gaul. Why did Sun Dahai never pay much attention to the European stock market?
In addition, during this visit to Xiangjiang, Sun Dahai also got an unexpected surprise, which was the acquisition of Kasol Film Company.
To be honest, although Sun Dahai often thought about it when he was in school, he also had the dream of entering Hollywood.
Sun Dahai originally wanted to wait until he officially came to work in Xiangjiang before looking for an opportunity to consider these things. Unexpectedly, a stock market crash actually put a suitable Hollywood film company on his lips.
For Sun Dahai, investing in movies is a kind of sentiment. As for the investment income, that is secondary.
Sun Dahai knows very well that even if he participates in investing in a movie with a box office legend like "Avatar", how many times the return on investment can he get after excluding the various expenses? It is better for Sun Dahai to just buy one.
Theme stocks make more money.
Sun Dahai is not short of this little money, and he has no intention of making much money through movies. His request for the original Youlian Film and Television Company is nothing more than to avoid losing money.
Of course, when it comes to projects that are big hits at the box office, Sun Dahai will also get involved. He doesn't take any of the money he earns. It is still necessary to use it to invest in some movies that everyone likes but are destined to lose money, or to send red envelopes to everyone.
The key is that being able to leave his own little paw prints in those classic movies is what Sun Dahai values the most. Unfortunately, in the final film of "The Last Emperor", Sun Dahai didn't even find his back when he was a guest player.
It was cut out during editing, which made Sun Dahai depressed for several days.
Acquisition of Castle Film Company not only gave Youlian its own platform in Hollywood, but also enabled Sun Dahai's planned special effects studio to smoothly recruit personnel from the United States.
…
The Castle Film Studio located on the Avenue of Stars in the northwest suburbs of Los Angeles was crowded with people.
In front of the Kasol Film Company office building facing the street, there are two tables placed side by side. A banner stating "Recruitment Point for Leading Film and Television Special Effects Studio" hangs behind it.
The new people who came here for interviews today were divided into two groups. Most of them were guided to the studio at the back. A few people entered the office building and went to a meeting room on the first floor that served as a temporary office.
Participate in interviews in the room.
At this time, the newcomers who came for the interview had already begun to line up at the interview point in front of the building. Everyone held their own information in their hands. While queuing, they all had their ears perked up, listening to the questions asked by the staff in front of the interviewers.
Mazinho, who had just resigned from a game company, was also in this short queue. He is a Brazilian-American who immigrated to the United States with his family when he was very young.
He just graduated from the Computer Science Department of the California Institute of Technology last year. Because he likes games, Mazinho found a job in a game company, hoping to become an excellent game designer and develop games that satisfy him.
However, the reality is very skinny.
Although the game company he worked for was well-known, it had almost no plans to develop new games independently. They mainly bought the game agency rights from the Japanese country, Englishized them, and sold them in the American market.
Therefore, Mazinho resigned after a year and left the company to find another job.
At this time, he accidentally saw an advertisement for a leading film and television special effects studio to recruit talents in film special effects, video special effects and computers.
So, Ma Jinhuo was tempted. After calling and asking about the recruitment conditions in detail, he came to the site today to participate in the interview.
Soon, it was Mazinho's turn to face the staff. He briefly explained his situation, and the staff invited him into the office building to undergo professional testing.
The conference room is divided into two rooms: an inner room and an outer room. The oral and written examinations are held in the outer room. There are two computers in the inner room for practical exercises.
Mazinhuo entered the outside room and was asked to fill out a personal information form first, then received a written test paper and began to answer questions. After completion, he would also undergo an oral test and finally be on the computer.
At this time, Qian Shaobai and He Ying were both in the conference room. They were pulled over by Zhu Lihua and were responsible for conducting professional tests for new computer candidates.
Not only that, they each recommended one or two of their classmates to come here for interviews. Sun Dahai’s new industry would not allow them to fail to do their best.
According to Sun Dahai's plan, the studio will now recruit no more than five computer talents.
Sun Dahai knew clearly that for computers to be truly applied in combination with film and television special effects, we would have to wait until after the 1990s for computer software and hardware to be developed to support it.
However, it is still very necessary to prepare for a rainy day and reserve talents and technology in advance. With only five people and various equipment, the overall cost is not small, but it is still acceptable to Sun Dahai.
Sun Dahai knows that in the future, the price of computer film and television special effects will remain high, and hardware, software and talent are all constraints. Especially software, various professional tools, software and databases, which can all be bought in exchange for real money.
Otherwise, even if it is the simplest rendering work, no one can do it without suitable tools and software. It cannot be done by hand, frame by frame.
Sun Dahai has started recruiting people now, mainly to let them build the framework for the studio. If he really wants to take on projects, he will have to wait a few years.
Of course, if these employees can develop some of the most basic tools, software and databases, and apply for patents, then Sun Dahai will laugh out of his dreams. In the future, the studio will be able to survive just by relying on the licensing income of these patents.
