When Henry Levi and George Roberts completed the attack on the second target, their actions finally attracted the attention of Wall Street.
Now the whole Wall Street is discussing North Sea investment!
“Before Sears and Morens, no one knew the name of Beihai Investment, but in just 20 days, I believe the entire Wall Street should know about Beihai Investment.
They are like pirates from the Caribbean, plundering wealth that does not belong to them on Wall Street.
But today, the entire Wall Street should remember the name Beihai Investment, because maybe his next target is you."
Here is an excerpt from the full Wall Street Journal report.
After Chu Huan read it, he frowned, "I didn't expect Wall Street to notice it so quickly!"
Jerry Kohlberg sat there and said calmly, "Wall Street has always been very sensitive to this kind of thing."
Chu Huan asked Jerry Kohlberg, "How much money is there in the company's account now?"
Jerry Kohlberg preaches "$90 Million!"
That is to say, in the company Morens Agricultural Machinery, Beihai Investment earned US$20 million, which was US$4 million more than Sears Department Store.
Seeing that Chu Huan was silent, Jerry Kohlberg continued, "Mr. Chu, now the entire Wall Street has noticed us. If we continue, I believe it will be very troublesome, and several companies such as Goldman Sachs have also noticed us.
I’m afraid I won’t be able to use their names to deceive people anymore!”
Chu Huan must admit that what Jerry Kohlberg said makes sense.
No one wants to be used as a weapon all the time!
90 million U.S. dollars, and the profit within 20 days was 36 million U.S. dollars. After deducting the commission 5 paid to Jerry Kohlberg and the others, it was 34.2 million U.S. dollars.
Last time Chu Huan's yen was deducted 30% tax, but this time the funds were more, plus Chu Huan's activity funds for American Express, a total of 15% tax and American Express's commission were deducted from this profit.
In other words, after two sniper battles, Chu Huan got 28.8 million US dollars!
According to the current exchange rate of 1 US dollar for 57 Hong Kong dollars, Chu Huan’s US$82.8 million is equivalent to 100 million Hong Kong dollars.
After thinking for a while, Chu Huan dialed Xu Yi's phone number.
"Did Cao Yunzu give an accurate time for the design draft?"
Xu Yi immediately said, "The first draft will be out in August. If it can be passed, the complete design drawings will be out in early October. If it can't be passed, you will have to wait for a month!"
That means there are still 4 months to go!
After hanging up the phone, Chu Huan said to Jerry Kohlberg, "Okay, this sniper battle can be suspended for a while!"
Jerry Kolberg nodded and agreed very much with Chu Huan's decision. Now that Beihai Investment has been exposed, if he wants to continue the acquisition, he will definitely be watched by many people. If he is not careful, he may
I was trapped by others!
Stopping now is indeed the best thing to do.
"If this is the case, then congratulations to Mr. Chu for this harvest!"
Jerry Kohlberg is leaving.
Chu Huan smiled and said, "Jerry, have you seriously considered my previous proposal?"
Jerry Kohlberg was stunned for a moment, thinking of what Chu Huan mentioned when the two parties met for the first time.
"Sorry Mr. Chu, I have been working in other people's companies for decades. I still hope to start my own business this time!"
Jerry Kohlberg had this idea before, and now that he has received the commission from Chu Huan, his idea is naturally even stronger.
Seeing that Jerry Kohlberg was so determined, Chu Huan could only do the next best thing and said, "Jerry, since you still want to start your own business, I think you lack funds, right?"
I wonder if your company will accept shares?"
Jerry Kohlberg didn't expect Chu Huan to be so persistent. He thought for a while and said, "It would be best if Mr. Chu could join our company, but in terms of shareholding."
Jerry Kohlberg had already had a complete idea about establishing a fund company. Originally, 120,000 US dollars was enough. Now he, Henrik Laiwei, and George Roberts are doing it in Chu with commissions alone.
Huan here took 1.85 million US dollars, which was enough for them to set up their own company.
Therefore, if a company is established, they do not need more capital injection, the existing capital is enough.
But in this cooperation, Jerry Kolberg also discovered Chu Huan's courage. What's more, although their company does not need funds to start a business, as a fund company, they need a large amount of capital to put funds into
their company.
This is why Jerry Kohlberg agreed to Chu Huan joining, he hopes to get Chu Huan’s funds!
"After the company is established, I can put 10 million US dollars in the company and the company will take care of it for me. As long as my annual income is guaranteed to be no less than 5!"
Since Chu Huan had always wanted to recruit Jerry Kohlberg into his employ, he could naturally guess what Jerry Kohlberg was thinking. He had investigated too carefully.
"As for the company's shares, I only need 20!"
The 10 million US dollars was given to the company for investment, not Chu Huan's investment capital. Now that the three of them are rich, the scale of the company they founded is naturally higher than that of another time and space.
In another time and space, they only spent 120,000 US dollars to establish kkr, but this time it will not exceed 300,000 US dollars at most!
20 shares is only 60,000 US dollars.
Moreover, this shareholding is very particular. Chu Huan allocated the remaining 80 shares to the three of them. No matter how they allocate the shares, whoever wants to control the company in the future will need his support.
In fact, what Chu Huan thought before was that if Jerry Kohlberg could not join Jiaku Consulting Company, then he would find a way to poach Henrik Laiwe and George Roberts. Chu Huan also did this before, but now Chu Huan
There have been some changes in my thinking.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The main reason is that Henry Lave and George Roberts are very rebellious. They may drive Jerry Kohlberg out of the company in the future, and they may naturally do so.
Jiaku Consulting Company was sold.
So after weighing the pros and cons, Chu Huan decided to let the three of them continue to toss kkr, while he watched them earn money for themselves honestly. The most important thing was to wait for Henryk to come to Wei and George.
Roberts is full of wings and wants to take action against Jerry Kohlberg. He can completely pretend to be a good guy and buy all his shares in KKR from Jerry Kohlberg.
By then, Chu Huan can even get control of kkr!
And all this only requires an investment of US$60,000 now!
Jerry Kohlberg naturally had no idea what the company would develop into in the future. After thinking about Chu Huan's suggestion, he had no objections.
"Well, since Mr. Chu believes in the three of us so much, we will be partners from now on!"
Chu Huan smiled and shook hands with Jerry Kohlberg.
After sending away Jerry Kohlberg, Chu Huan came to Apex Pictures!
"How did things go?"
Kelly knew what Chu Huan was busy with, so when she saw Chu Huan, she asked Chu Huan concernedly.
Chu Huan said, "I have decided to stop. Now too many people are paying attention to Beihai Investment!"
Kelly nodded and said, "It's the right choice to stop. It will be really troublesome if you are targeted!"
"Yeah!" Chu Huan nodded.
While the two were chatting, there were some noisy sounds outside Kelly's office.
"This script is very good. I hope you can take a look at it. I believe that as long as you read it, you will not let it go!"
A male voice with a somewhat unclear New York accent came from outside.
"No need, our company has its own script creation, you can leave!"
The inarticulate man's hopeful voice continued, "Rocky" is really a very good movie script. I watched the boxing match between boxing champion Muhammad Ali and Chuck Wepner.
The creation is very inspiring and very passionate!”
Chu Huan stood up in the office. Kelly saw Chu Huan's movements and asked, "What's wrong?"
Chu Huan smiled and said, "It's interesting to hear what this person said. And the company doesn't have any new movie projects now? Why don't you bring his script over and let me have a look? I just watched this fight on TV two days ago."
Race!”
When Kelly heard what Chu Huan said, she didn't think much, got up and walked out of the office. Through the crack in the door, Chu Huan saw a clerk from Apex Pictures impatiently pushing a short man.
Although he is not tall, the strength contained in his body is definitely not small. The most important thing is that this person will become one of the best action actors in the world!
This man is naturally Stallone.
And what he is holding in his hand is naturally the work "Rocky" that made him famous!
Before this movie, Stallone was simply a low-level actor in Hollywood, and even starred in the romantic movie "Italia."
If Chu Huan hadn't appeared in the movie "Rocky", it would have been filmed and invested by MGM. The cost was only US$1.1 million, but it earned a high box office of US$1.2 billion in North America when it was released in 1976!
In one fell swoop, Stallone became an action superstar.
When the clerk at Apex Pictures and Stallone saw Kelly's room open, they stopped pushing and pushing. The clerk even said awkwardly, "Chairman, I will let this person leave now!"
After saying that, the clerk wanted to push Stallone away.
Stallone, however, nimbly dodged and avoided the opponent's push, and took two quick steps to reach Kelly's side.
"Miss Kelly, please be sure to read this script. It is really excellent and will definitely bring huge returns to Apex Pictures!"
Stallone had no choice. After he wrote the script of "Rocky", he went to countless film production companies hoping to get their approval, but all ended in vain.
Although some production companies were interested in this script, they only wanted the script and not themselves, which was unacceptable to Stallone, who was preparing to rely on this script to make a comeback.
So after rejecting some production companies, he is now almost unable to pay the rent!
Since Kelly knew what Chu Huan meant, she naturally had nothing to say. She took the script directly from Stallone's hands, and then said to Stallone, "Come in with me!"
When the clerk saw that Kelly actually accepted his script, he didn't say anything and went about his own business.
Stallone, who followed Kelly into the office, saw Chu Huan sitting there. He knew Kelly because he had seen her in magazines, but he did not know Chu Huan.
Just when I saw Kelly handing her script to him, I immediately felt that this Oriental man was no longer an ordinary man in Apex Pictures.
"This is the script you came to read!"
Chu Huan did not watch it immediately, but asked Stallone, "Has your script been registered with the Screenwriters Guild?"
There are various unions in Hollywood, including the Writers Guild. Naturally, some independent screenwriters, after writing their own scripts, will take the script to the Writers Guild for registration, so that they can submit their scripts to the Writers Guild for registration.
When those studios watch it, they don’t have to worry about being plagiarized by the other party.
To be honest, although various unions in North America have a lot to complain about, this point is still very commendable.
Stallone felt warm in his heart. Although he still didn’t know who this oriental young man was, judging from what Kelly had just said to him, he was the one who was interested in his script. So Stallone nodded and said, "
Already registered!"
Chu Huan smiled and then started to read the script of "Rocky".
Naturally, Chu Huan didn't really watch Rocky's script. As long as he knew that this movie was Stallone's famous work, Chu Huan would definitely not give up.
Since Chu Huan was interested in it, he invested, and as Chu Huan said before, Apex Pictures still lacks projects right now!
After chatting for a while, the two prepared to attend the premiere of "Jaws".
The premiere of "Jaws" took place in a theater in Los Angeles.
Although Hollywood movies do not have midnight screenings, company executives will still choose a theater where the movie will premiere to observe the audience's reaction.
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
After Chu Huan and Kelly got off the car, they happened to meet Spielberg.
"Where are Martin and the others?" Kelly asked Spielberg.
Martin Brody stars in "Jaws."
Kelly is asking about the creators of "Jaws"!
Nowadays, there are not only no midnight shows in Hollywood, but also no so-called premieres!
Spielberg smiled and said, "They should have gone to another theater!"
Kelly nodded and prepared to enter the theater.
"Miss Kelly, Steven."
Luvozeman's voice came from behind.
The three of them turned around, and Luvozeman came over with his secretary, with a faint smile on his face.
"Mr. Wasserman!"
Although the two sides had some unpleasant quarrels before because of the promotion of "Jaws", now that the two sides meet here, they naturally have to maintain superficial friendliness.
"Who is this?"
After Luwa Zeman saw Chu Huan, he was slightly stunned and then returned to normal. He didn't know Chu Huan, but when he saw Chu Huan walking with Kelly and Spielberg, he casually asked!
Kelly smiled and said, "This is Mr. Chu Huanchu from Xiangjiang Black and White Media!"
Luwa Zeman immediately had information about Chu Huan in his mind.
The first thing that popped up was Chu Huan's joint investment in "Star Wars" with Apex Pictures. This matter is not a secret in Hollywood.
After all, everyone knows that 20th Century Fox was very eager to get rid of the burden of "Star Wars", and it was at this time that Chu Huan and Apex Pictures appeared.
Sure enough, people are divided into groups!
Thinking of the current "Jaws" and then thinking of "Star Wars" that has not yet started filming, Luo Zeman couldn't help but think so.
The second concept that pops up is Black and White Media!
As the first media group in Hong Kong, the news of the establishment of Black and White Media was also reported in North America. Although not many, it was enough for Luwa Zeman to remember it.
"It turns out to be Mr. Chu!" Luwa Zeman shook hands with Chu Huan and said, "Did Mr. Chu also invest in the movie "Jaws"?"
Chu Huan shook his head and said, "No, I'm just a little envious of Miss Kelly for being able to get such a good project!"
Luwa Zeman laughed and said, "I believe that when the movie is over, Mr. Chu will not be envious!"
Kelly and Spielberg's expressions suddenly changed.
Lou Zeman was unmoved, but smiled and said to Spielberg, "Steven, if you want to return to Universal in the future, we at Universal welcome you at any time!"
Spielberg said calmly, "Thank you, Mr. Wasserman."
"Mr. Wasserman, is it inappropriate to poach people from our company in front of me?" Kelly showed her dissatisfaction!
Lew Zeman did not quarrel with Kelly on this matter and apologized decisively.
Because Apex Pictures is still working in Hollywood, it is not suitable for Kelly to have a falling out with Lew Zeman, but Chu Huan doesn't care.
"Mr. Wasserman, I remember that Universal is the distributor of "Jaws", right? Since your company is responsible for the distribution of "Jaws", shouldn't you be optimistic about this movie?"
Luvozeman's expression was stagnant. It was true that he was optimistic, but he couldn't slap himself in the face. He smiled and said, "I was just joking!"
After finishing speaking, Luwa Zeman walked into the theater first.
Chu Huan looked at Kelly and Spielberg, who were still a little angry, and smiled and said, "Okay, I believe that after this movie is over, Lou Zeman's expression will change dramatically!"
What kind of situation can cause Luvozeman's expression to change?
Of course it was the reaction of the audience!
In fact, soon, Luvozeman's expression began to look different.
The change in his expression was just as Chu Huan said, with the exclamations coming from the audience.
The movie "Jaws" aroused the emotions of the audience within a few minutes of its opening.
Especially when the great white shark appeared from behind, their exclamations shocked Luvozeman even more!
"Is it so beautiful?"
Luvozeman was no longer in the mood to focus on the movie at this time. He was looking left and right at the audience around him.
He didn't understand why the audience's vision and his own vision were different from those of Universal executives.
This situation made Luvozeman a little confused.
During the two-hour "Jaws", Lew Zeman has been paying attention to the audience's reaction.
As the president of Universal, he naturally knew what this meant when he saw the audience being led emotionally and into the movie.
Although it is still not certain that this movie will definitely be a hit, one thing is certain, the upper limit of this movie is definitely more than $50 million at the box office!
Thinking of this, Luvozeman didn't know how to describe himself.
It would be good for "Jaws" to have a higher box office. After all, if it does, Universal will be able to make more money.
However, Universal could have made more.
As a result, before this, Universal actually gave up half of the rights to "Jaws" to Apex Pictures?
After walking out of the cinema and seeing the audience still discussing the plot of "Jaws" with gusto, Luwa Zeman felt even more complicated.
At this time, he is looking for Kelly. Although the film is now as it is and it is impossible to change anything, there are still many benefits that can be explored for a film that received such attention at its premiere.
For example, Hollywood is best at sequel development!
As for going to find Kelly at this time, it is a very slap in the face. Luwa Zeman doesn't care at all, interests are the last word!
In another time and space, when JT L first entered Hollywood, he was also not favored. As a result, the box office of a movie far exceeded the investment. This made the boss of the film company who looked down on JT at the time immediately took the seat.
I'm on a plane to see JT.
It's just that after looking around, Lou Zeman still didn't see Kelly, which made him very disappointed.
So Lou Zeman didn't care that it was already late at night and immediately took the car to Apex Pictures.
According to Lew Zeman, "Jaws" is the first movie released by Vertex Pictures, and Kelly will definitely be waiting at the company to see the results of the fan survey.
Just like Xiangjiang, at this time, when a new movie is released, Hollywood film studios will also arrange for staff to go to the theater to ask the audience for their opinions on the movie.
Lew Zeman quickly came to Vertex Pictures.
The lights are indeed on here, but Kelly is not there!
This situation made Lew Zeman very helpless and asked the staff of Apex Pictures for Kelly's home phone number. The staff of Apex Pictures knew that the other party was the president of Universal Pictures and did not dare to neglect, so they gave Kelly's home phone number.
I told Lew Zeman, but
"Is this really good?"
Seeing Chu Huan unplugging the phone line at home, Kelly asked worriedly.
The two of them had already left the theater before the movie officially ended. Now that they knew the reaction of the audience, there was no need to stay there!
But in Kelly's opinion, today is the premiere day of "Jaws" after all. Although she has no way to know the first-day box office of "Jaws" tonight, she still wants to know the situation of "Jaws".
Chu Huan laughed out loud and said, "Didn't you see what happened in the cinema just now?"
Thinking of the reaction of the audience in the cinema just now, Kelly couldn't help but get excited. Although she believed in Chu Huan's vision, when she really saw the strong response from the audience, Kelly couldn't help but get excited.
Chu Huan continued, "If we don't pull out the phone, we two won't have a good night's sleep tonight!"
I believe that all the bosses of the entire Hollywood production company will know about the premiere of "Jaws" tonight.
