Chapter 242 What?You asked me to take 2 million to make a movie?
When Morgan Jr. received the report from his subordinates, he was immediately surprised.

****As a veteran Wall Street tycoon in the United States.

He has been able to stand on Wall Street for hundreds of years, on the one hand because of his strong capital, and on the other hand because of his judging the situation.

What should be needed, and what should be given up should be given up in time.

After so many years of development, it is not that no one has robbed them of their things. For example, iron ore futures options have been robbed by others, and energy futures can occasionally participate.

However, silver futures has never been dared to wrestle with them as the reason for their fortune.

The appearance of Panama Commercial Bank really surprised him for a long time.

"What is the current economic situation in Japan?"

"Morgan Jr., according to the feedback from the public opinion department and the market research department, Japan's economic situation is not optimistic. Their Congress has been convened for nearly 4 hours and it is not over yet."

Little Morgan groped the beard on his chin and thought about it for a long time, and asked another question.

"What about the house price? Is there any problem with their house price?"

"Mitsubishi Estate and Sony Estate's properties in Osaka and Hokkaido are still under construction."

In Morgan Jr.'s view, although Japan's stock market has suffered setbacks, Japan's housing prices are the pillar of its current domestic economic growth. It is actually difficult to reverse Japan's economy.

On the one hand, the Japanese national government will definitely "rescue the market", on the other hand, there are too many chaebols in Japan participating in this carnival.

No one wants to let this economic crisis break out!

Little Morgan actually knew very clearly what Tao Xi's plan was.

It is nothing more than seeing that the thunderstorm in the Japanese stock market is likely to affect the offline economic development and cause mass unemployment among the Japanese people.

But Jr. Morgan concluded that "real estate will not fail", and "precious metal futures" cannot depreciate!
He is willing to take a gamble on the relationship between the two who are both prosperous and both are prosperous!
It is impossible for Japan to "thunderstorm" now!
Little Morgan, who had figured everything out, planned his own strategy with a big wave of his hand: "Fight him! Make a call for three months, and then directly ask the other party to honor the contract. I want to see who will cut the meat!"

But Tao Xi, who was far away in Otaru City, had already been lying in Nakamori Akina's arms.

After all, he had worked hard for almost half a month, and it was time for him to take a vacation for himself.

"Tao Xi, do you think it's not good for me to look like this?"

Tao Xi closed his eyes and enjoyed Nakamori Akina's ear-picking service. I have to say that girls older than him would love others the most. Since Nakamori Akina fell physically and mentally, Nakamori Akina didn't even act. Tao Xi here, is to send love breakfast to Tao Xi every day.

Occasionally there will be a live spa.

"What's wrong? Don't think too much about it. As for you, just take care of your beauty. I'll go out to work to support my family!"

Akina Nakamori, who was smiling profusely, couldn't even hold the earpick in his hand steadily, and Tao Xi jumped up in fright.

"Hey, do you want to take a stroll in Korea with me?"

"Don't, don't, Korea has no meaning at all, I've been there enough!"

Nakamori Akina replied with a look of disgust with a small mouth.

Just as Tao Xi was about to say a few words, the phone on the desk rang.

"Hey, oh, I know, I know, Marco told me, let him in!"

Before Tao Xi hung up the phone, his personal cell phone rang again: "What? A $4 million movie shooting plan! Go crazy! Okay, okay, okay, I'll go back tonight."

It can be said that Guo Taiming, the famous name of the Sunshine Commercial Bank of Panama, is well known.

The bank first acquired three of the five largest regional banks in Japan in just three months, and then used its existing sales outlets to spread throughout Southeast Asia overnight.

This merger and acquisition case was eagerly learned by many of his colleagues.

At first, he only knew about this bank, but with the development of his own business, he got a loan from the Wanwan branch of this bank very easily just by relying on his own company's turnover, he suddenly felt This is a very industry-friendly bank.

So after his first trip to the US to pull an order failed, the first idea that popped into his mind was to meet the boss of the Panama Commercial Bank!

As long as he gets to know his boss, let him take a stake in his company, and with the endorsement of Panama Commercial Bank, wouldn't it be easy for him to negotiate again.

After he stood in the hotel room and washed up seriously, he walked towards Tao Xi's office under the leadership of a Japanese.

The Japanese was like a chatterbox, telling him this and that.

In the past, he was a little unaccustomed to talking and talking in his company, until he saw Tao Xi himself.

"Hi, I'm Guo Taiming, nice to meet you."

Tao Xi took a serious look at the guy who tried to take the first investment from him. Although he was very old and there was a trace of fatigue deep in his eyes, his spirit was really good.

"Well, it's okay, you're welcome, you are the first person to actively seek investment from Panama Sunshine Commercial Bank, what do you think?"

Guo Taiming didn't hesitate at all.

"My company started with moulds. If I say that we are the second in the mold manufacturing industry, no one will say that it is the first, but the competition in this industry is very fierce. I want to develop in a different direction. Now the PC manufacturing industry in the United States is developing like a raging fire. "

"I have a factory in mainland China, and I hope to rely on my low labor costs and streamlined processes to receive some assembly orders in the United States."

"You must also know that everything is difficult at the beginning, but now many people have started this business, and I hope to have a good endorsement or an excellent investor to help me."

Tao Xi immediately laughed out loud when he heard this person say it.

But he still intends to read this person's files carefully. At first, his younger brother Hill studied the computer technology industry, and every time Hill was on vacation, he would fiddle with that big-headed device.

Tao Xi didn't understand, he didn't think this thing had any future.

Apart from the fact that AMD acquired by MGM can use him to make good-looking cartoons, there is no other role.

"And I also heard that you acquired AMD, which was split from Microsoft. If you can hand over part of AMD's orders to me first, I will let you see the value of my enterprise."

When Guo Taiming revealed his real plan, Tao Xi also asked with a smile on his face: "35% of the shares, 1 million US dollars, I will sign if you agree, and I can also help coordinate orders from many large technology companies , but you know, the financial industry is generally not friendly to manufacturing."

"But your company is an industry that is friendly to manufacturing in Southeast Asia."

"I would like to believe that you are optimistic about the manufacturing industry, and I also hope that you can give me a chance to prove myself."

Tao Xi glanced at the time on his watch and arranged for Shunsuke Osawa behind him: "Help me call Cedry Ferre from Panama to Japan, and let him connect with Mr. Guo for the rest."

Just when Tao Xi was about to get up and leave, Guo Taiming hurriedly got up and said with concern: "Then AMD"

"Oh, let Kaidry contact you after you sign the investment agreement." Tao Xi just wanted to leave, but he suddenly stopped and turned his head to ask: "Do you know Toshiba?"

Guo Taiming was taken aback when he heard this, but he quickly explained the business content of Toshiba Group proficiently out of professional requirements.

"3C electronics, home appliances, medical care, personal computers, these are his main profitable sectors."

"Does their family still have a medical business? Did Shunsuke Osawa hear that? Give me another Toshiba in the short-selling list agreement!"

Shunsuke Osawa looked at Guo Taiming, who stayed where he was, and said earnestly: "Look, how kind your investors are to you, and they will buy Toshiba Group for you just because you are in the foundry business."

Standing where he was, Guo Taiming was still thinking about how to listen to the words of this "human being" when the matter of investment was so simple. It was just a perfunctory answer.

"what!"

"Buy Toshiba?"

Shunsuke Osawa replied as if he had seen through everything long ago: "Mitsubishi Motors, do you know? The strength behind our big boss is deep! If it is not for the fear of the Japanese Congress going back on its word, even Mitsubishi Motors will have to change its name."

Osawa Shunsuke's bragging really fooled Lao Guo.

But Tao Xi, who was returning to California on the plane, sighed heavily, because the financial strength of the government is really too strong.

The upshot is the US$200 billion aggressive encirclement and suppression of Panama Commercial Bank's behavior in the futures market.

This is not a big deal, Tao Xi was a little overwhelmed by the opponent's public opinion offensive, and the [Wall Street Journal], who had been a spectator, came out to bearish on Panama Commercial Bank's operations.

If it weren't for Panama Commercial Bank not being listed.

Today's front page headlines in the Wall Street Journal can make Taoxi cry under the covers.

The radio said it clearly.

[The crisis in the stock market was earlier than the real estate bubble, and about 7 months later, the real estate was mourning]

Maybe Tao Xi, who is looking down on everyone outside, will cut his flesh and run away, giving up the Japanese bubble crisis this time.

Public opinion is always what those people want you to see, and people must stay sober.

When James Cameron saw the tired-looking Tao Xi sitting opposite him, he rarely felt guilty: "Mr. Tao Xi, I am really sorry, but I think the series that Columbia made not long ago really It’s been a great inspiration for me.”

"Ha~"

"Ah~"

Tao Xi yawned and asked sleepily, "Oh, what series?"

"Titanic!"

"Wouldn't it be cool if we presented the script of Titanic to the audience!"

"Shoot it, let Paramount pay for it, why are you looking for me, I don't have 2 million dollars to make it for you." Tao Xi directly rolled his eyes at James Cameron.

"Paramount is only willing to pay $5000 million. This is his assessment of my years."

James Cameron is still full of grievances.

Tao Xi took the sketchbook handed to him by Peter Lamont and read it.

It has to be said that everyone's success is no fluke.

The [-]-page love story in this hand-drawn book alone gave Tao Xi some inspiration. Peter Lamont turned his head and took a look and quickly explained: "James' idea is very good, a story that happened on a shipwreck, If we can make this movie, our newly established special effects company at MGM will definitely be able to work out."

Tao Xi frowned and took a serious look at James Cameron.

If one person talks about computers, he can question them, and if two people talk about computers, he can doubt them. But when three excellent people talk about computers, he will have to think about it.

"Is it the computer special effects company established with AMD?"

When Peter Lamont saw that Tao Xi still remembered this incident, he immediately became interested: "Yes! We also recently established a project with Disney for the [Beauty and the Beast] cartoon. Since we have a computer special effects company, our shooting progress It's much faster, and we will definitely surpass Lucasfilm's special effects company in a few days!"

"Oh~"

Tao Xi nodded half-understanding.

But he always felt that it must be a loss to spend hundreds of millions to shoot a movie!

James Cameron saw that Tao Xi was still thinking there, and he hurried over to answer: "The heroine of this movie must be very suitable for Ms. Sophie, both in terms of role and characterization."

People around him were doing all kinds of psychological construction for Tao Xi.

Tao Xi also gradually wavered: "Okay! Then vote, remember to ask AMD to give feedback on the progress information, and then help me make an appointment with AMD's current executive director to give me their feedback."

After Peter Lamont heard that Tao Xi finally agreed.

A relieved smile finally appeared on his face.

But James Cameron hesitated and continued: "What if the budget is not enough?"

A hint of impatience just appeared on Tao Xi's face, and James Cameron quickly explained: "Actually, I know that Sunshine Film Group has not had a film that can be sold since its establishment."

"Although MGM has always maintained a profitable state in your hands, except for the dramas that Miss Sophie starred in, you have been slow to come up with something that can make people give a thumbs up."

"Miss Sophie has also been called a vase by many people in the name of bringing funds into the group."

"If [Titanic] is successful, it will definitely be a film that can affect the history of world cinema. I hope you can support me with the same energy you used to support MGM."

Peter Lamont opened his mouth to say something and closed it again.

Instead, Tao Xi slowly fell into contemplation, because it is unprecedented in the entire history of Hollywood to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to make a movie.

He wanted to try, but he was afraid of being scolded as a "big injustice" behind his back!
Minutes passed by.

The atmosphere in the President's Office of the MGM Executive Building was getting more and more gloomy. Jin Xizhen, a New York socialite, pushed the door open with a bang and shouted into the room: "Tao Xi! Where did you die recently!"

When Taizo Yucheng brought his wife Yuriko to the big city of Tokyo for the first time, it was already the seventh disaster day for the Japanese stock market.

But Yucheng Taisan seems to have never exceeded the stock price.

He first took his wife to the most luxurious commercial street in Tokyo to buy some decent clothes, and then took his wife to the most expensive Japanese restaurant in Ginza, Japan.

"Yucheng, you have been in Tokyo for several months, and you still have to ask for directions."

Yucheng Taisan scratched the back of his head with embarrassment and replied: "Actually, I haven't come out much. I live in an Internet cafe in front of the Tokyo Stock Exchange."

When Yuriko heard her husband's words, she replied with a distressed face: "I will definitely make up for you when I come to Tokyo now."

The husband and wife just showed their affection along the way.

But fortunately, the real estate agency that they both made an appointment with finally arrived: "Mr. Yucheng, I'm very glad that you can wait for me here for so long. We have had too many guests looking at the house recently, and the bank's housing loan interest has been reduced again." many."

When Yuriko saw the real estate agent opened the door, she walked in with a happy face and looked around.

But Yucheng Taisan took over the housing agency's roster and looked at it seriously.

The thickness of the housing roster was thicker than what he had seen a week ago, but Yucheng Taisan, who had been looking at it for a long time, found that there were suddenly many more second-hand houses on the roster.

"Why are there so many second-hand houses on the roster?"

When the real estate agent heard Yucheng's inquiry, he replied enthusiastically: "Oh, many managed properties are withdrawing funds recently, so they sold the second-hand houses in their hands."

"Oh~"

"Is it because the stock market has been falling? They want to withdraw money?"

The real estate agent replied with a heartless smile: "Hahaha, I don't know either, but I heard that many small banks have increased their housing loan policies."

Yucheng Taisan followed the real estate agent to see all three houses, and then took his wife to leave.

But the real estate agent didn't want Yucheng Taisan, a client he had served for a long time, to leave.

"Mr. Yucheng, are you planning to take out a loan to buy a house?"

Seeing Yucheng Taisan nodded, the real estate agent hurriedly comforted him: "Then you don't need to worry, our company has also deepened cooperation with Mitsubishi Bank now, if you want to buy a house with a loan, I can provide you with some convenience here."

When the real estate agent saw Yucheng Taisan's expression that he still wanted to leave.

He took out a leaflet again: "Mr. Yucheng, I remember that you are a truck driver. You can take a look at the group-buying housing project we cooperated with the Otaru City Government. Although this location is in Hokkaido, here is A port city, the cargo throughput here is the first in Hokkaido! You can definitely develop your business better if you settle there."

"As for the level of prosperity, you don't have to worry! It's the financial center of Hokkaido. In the next three years, Hollywood's MGM will build their first theme amusement park here."

"Whether it is the living environment or the employment environment, it is definitely suitable for you. If you have children, you can also enjoy the three-star teaching environment under the Neil Group. Not only does it have all the supporting facilities for studying, even the teachers are from the High School Affiliated to Dongdae .”

In the middle of the night, Yucheng Taizo and Yuriko chatted while looking at the leaflets on the table.

Yuriko took the information extracted from the Internet cafe and said to her husband: "Otaru City seems to be developing very well there, and it is said that there is a food base that has just been established."

But Yucheng Taisan looked worriedly at the police car parked downstairs.

This is already the third person who committed suicide by jumping off a building today. With the stock market crash, the food street behind the originally bustling Tokyo Stock Exchange has also been adjusted to zero.

There were three suicides and four robberies a day, but Yucheng Taizo didn't see any news on TV.

This is obviously because some people don't want ordinary people like them to see this information, and even the bailout measures announced by Congress not long ago have not been announced for a long time.

Thinking of this, Yucheng Taizo said to his wife Yuriko: "Go to Otaru! Let's go to Otaru! Today's Tokyo is the same as the vegetable market I went to before. All the vegetable vendors want to prevent customers from knowing that the vegetables they sell are sold overnight. Cai, if you’re not in a group, you’re lying, let’s go to Otaru!”

"Okay, our family is up to you!"

Yucheng Taisan is worthy of being a truck driver before.

He made a decision that night, and the next morning he set foot on the train station for Otaru City with his wife and the letter of recommendation from the real estate agent.

But at the train station, he encountered a scene that all sentient beings will never forget.

Koji Ono, a fellow villager who used to be his senior at the Tokyo Stock Exchange, was surrounded by a large group of people in a corner.

"Hiroji Ono! Didn't you say you can make a lot of money! We gave you the money, but you still want to run away!"

"Yes! Ono, when you first came to Tokyo, I gave you a bite of food. Now that you have lost money in stocks, you want to run away!"

"Hiroji Ono, I don't care about others. You have to give me the money from our Black Dragon Club today. If you don't give it to me, be careful with your hands!"

About ten people surrounded Hiroji Ono tightly.

The smug look on the Tokyo Stock Exchange had long since disappeared, and his face was bruised and purple, as if he had been beaten.

"Stop fighting, stop fighting!"

"I also bought a piece of land in Osaka. As long as I sell that piece of land, I will definitely pay you back!"

The person who claimed to be from the Black Dragon Society pointed at Koji Ono's head with a vicious look on his face and said angrily: "What shit land, houses in Tokyo are priceless now, don't look at hundreds of thousands per square meter, but look at someone Do you want to buy? Second-hand housing transactions in Tokyo are getting higher and higher every day, don’t you know what’s going on?”

"The house is worthless long ago!"

"Banks don't even approve mortgages!"

Yuriko couldn't help shrinking her neck when she heard the extraordinarily loud voice: "Yucheng, let's go, let's go to Otaru City, Tokyo is really messy!"

There are more and more people besieging Ono Koji, the former "stock god", Yucheng Taizo didn't say a word when he saw this, but left with a sullen head.

His intuition told him!
Tokyo, no, something big is about to happen in Japan!

He who has money just now has to spend the money in his pocket, otherwise he is afraid that the money in his pocket is worthless!

Because in the vegetable market, as long as there is a fruit seller who starts a big sale, it means that a certain fruit has a good harvest, and if he continues to hold the fruit in his hand, he will lose money.
