Entertainment tycoon who started out as a director

Chapter 113 Investing
Looking at her son, Gu's mother couldn't tell whether she was happy or sad.

After staring for more than ten seconds, he turned to look at Dad Gu, picked up the pillow and threw it over, "I learned this from you!"

"What's going on?" Dad Gu was confused.

Gu Ming was vaguely aware of it, but he didn't intend to admit it. He just pretended to be innocent and said, "Mom, what's wrong?"

"Tell me, son, how many girlfriends do you have?" Gu's mother was not too angry, but just a little worried.

"What do you mean by this?" Gu Ming said confidently, "It's just Yan Danchen!"

"How many more?"

"Just a girlfriend."

"Then what I accidentally heard just now." Mother Gu paused, "I didn't recognize who the third woman was. The second one who called you dear is the actress who played Feng Chengcheng, right?"

"Your hearing is really good!" Gu Ming was convinced and could only give a thumbs up.

"Then you still only have one girlfriend?"

"Yes, a girlfriend, a dear."

"Where's the other one?" Gu Ma asked again.

"normal friend."

"Speaking of which, Mom, you won't kill your relatives out of justice, right?" Gu Ming joked. There is no doubt about how much his mother dotes on him. Otherwise, when the family only has 200 million, they would give 100 million to Gu Ming. Gu Ming didn't believe she could do anything when making a movie.

that's the truth.

"I……"

"What can I do to you?" Gu's mother rolled her eyes at Gu Ming, sighed, and then waved her hand helplessly, "I can't control those things of yours, and I don't want to. Just handle them yourself."

"In short, you just need to let me have a grandson before you turn 30."

"Of course, it would be best to be Yan Danchen, the one who plays Feng Chengcheng. Does she, an actor, still have time to take care of the children?"

"I will try my best to let you have your grandson as soon as possible."

"So that's what happened!" Dad Gu curled his lips dissatisfied.

"This has nothing to do with me!"

"Honey, you know me well. I have always been single-minded. Besides, speaking of inheritance, didn't my son's directing talent be inherited from me?"

"Then my son's talent for making money was not inherited from me?" At this point, Gu's mother raised her chin proudly.

"If nothing else, let's just say that last year, I was keenly aware that NetEase, a company listed on the US stock market, was in trouble, so I sold its shares. As a result, the news came out not long after that NetEase was suspended from trading!"

"What a good vision? What a strong sense of decision-making?"

"Internet billion?" Question marks popped up in Gu Ming's head, "Mom, which Internet billion?"

"It's the one that makes websites in China. The boss is called Ding Sanshi."

"By the way, it seems that trading has resumed now, but the stock price is not even a dollar. That's the rule of the U.S. stock market. If it continues like this, it will have to be suspended sooner or later. This kind of company's stock is not good."

"Don't buy it."

Not a dollar?

Gu Ming doesn't know much about stocks.

But I have heard of Ding Sanshi, the pig farmer, who became the richest man in later generations, and it happened in the past few years.

If he is suspended again or even delisted, will he still be the richest man?

Thinking back to the launch of Monternet, Internet companies have become more successful recently.

I have also received a lot of text messages inexplicably.

As soon as you reply, you will get a deduction of ten yuan per month.

Netizens may have gotten up again after this time.

Don't miss this opportunity!
"Mom, tell me which stocks you have sold in the future, okay?"

"What do you mean?"

"It's not interesting. It's Chinese New Year, just watch TV, watch TV!"

……

After hearing about Wang Yi from his mother, Gu Ming spent the next few days doing more research on the Internet during the Chinese New Year. It was indeed weird.

By the way, I also looked at the stocks of other Internet companies in the US stock market.

Ok.

Internet stocks have fallen miserably in the past two years.

It is indeed the famous Internet bubble.

but……

It looks like this bubble is over, right?

"It should be almost there. It can't fall much further, right?"

Knowing that the future is the age of the Internet, there is no need to worry about whether to buy it at the foot of the mountain.

Don’t be afraid if it drops a little, as long as you make a profit in the end!

I contacted the company's finance and learned about the current U.S. dollars in offshore companies.

After taxes, there's still $200 million left.

If we also keep the money needed for "Hero", we will still have 2000 million!
enough.

At that time, the other overseas distribution rights of "Rescue 2" can still make a fortune.

It would be enough to make any more movies.

All these 2000 million US dollars have been planned by Gu Ming.

US stocks!

Mainly invests in the Internet.

As for who to vote for, of course it will be whoever is the most famous person in future generations!

Amazon, Apple, Google, well, if you can’t find Google, then invest in them.

Anyway, it’s only 2000 million US dollars. It’s enough to divide these eggs into two baskets.

In the few days after the New Year, Gu Ming has been working on this matter.

After all the 2000 million has been spent on Amazon and Apple stocks.

Gu Mingcai focused on his privately owned U.S. dollars.It is a taboo not to distinguish between public and private matters.

Don’t accidentally get in because of taxes one day.

Wangyi, a stock that has a high probability of making big profits quickly, naturally handed over his own personal money.

Speaking of which, Gu Ming's personal dollar amount is not a small amount.

The salary for "Green Book" is US$200 million, and the profit sharing has not yet started.

All the $500 million salary for "The Bourne Supremacy" has been received.

A total of $700.

As a foreigner, there is no need to challenge the capabilities of the IRS, which even gangsters and drug dealers are afraid of. If I keep the taxes honestly, I will only have 450 million US dollars in my hands.

After Gu Ming arrived in the United States, he opened a stock account, transferred all the money in, and asked the stockbroker to invest the $450 million in Wangyi Company.

"Buy as much as you can without causing fluctuations in the stock price."

"Gu! Are you sure you want to buy Wangyi?" The stockbroker looked helpless. He just felt that out of professionalism, he had to remind Gu Ming, "This stock has been suspended before, and the current stock price is less than one dollar. It is very likely that It will be forcibly delisted.”

"As a professional stockbroker, I do not recommend that you buy this stock."

"Do you still want to buy it?"

"Buy it!" Gu Ming is quite confident in Wangyi, "If you don't buy a stock worth less than one dollar, you won't be able to buy it anymore. Of course you have to buy such a cherished thing, and you have to buy it quickly!"

If you don’t buy it, who knows what price it will rise to?

Will you be able to buy the Peak by then?

"Oh, God!"

Listen to him!
The stockbroker felt like stars appeared before his eyes.

He likes watching movies and even took his family to see "Green Book". He also knows Gu Ming and knows that this is a very good director who has developed recently.

But are all people in the entertainment industry like this?
Can you know something about the economy?

For a moment, the stockbroker had a feeling that this operation might become a black spot in his career, the kind that would be laughed at by his peers for the rest of his life.

But the client wants to buy that stock, what can he do?

I can only try my best to persuade.

I persuaded him for a few more minutes.

He really couldn't help it, and there was nothing he could do.

He's just a commission earner, so he's driving away customers?
He could only follow Ming Ming's request and buy all the 400 million U.S. dollars into Wangyi's stocks.

The only good thing is that the pool of Wangyi is not big. If it goes down to 400 million US dollars, no matter how careful it is, the stock price will rise to more than one US dollar.

There is no need to worry about forced delisting.

"Hey, maybe Gu was entrusted by someone to help this Internet company to prevent it from being delisted, right?"

"After all, Gu is also a Chinese."

The stockbroker could only comfort himself for a while.

Otherwise, he would feel bad for the movie tickets he bought.

The movie tickets I spent money on were ruined by the director.

Just a sin!
……

After arranging a way to get rich in the future, Gu Ming found Anthony.

As soon as they met, Anthony wanted to hug Gu Ming and strangle him to death!
"Gu!"

"You are simply my lucky star."

"What do you mean?" Gu Ming vaguely guessed, "'Hurricane Rescue' did well at the box office?"

"Yeah!" Anthony's head was nodding like a sewing machine, "It has been released for ten days now, spanning two weekends, and the North American box office has reached 7000 million!"

"Although this type of film may see a larger decline in the future."

"But the box office hit was 3000 million!"

"The people who questioned my high bid at the beginning have all shut up now. Who dares to say that they know more about movies than me? Are they capable of comparing their performance?"

"Congratulations, you have done another good business!" Gu Ming sent his congratulations.

Based on the calculation of 3000 million, 500 million can be recovered from the box office alone. The cost of purchasing the film and the cost of publicity and distribution are recovered in this way.

All other revenue in the North American market is net profit.

"If a movie is a big hit, you will make money by distributing it!"

Gu Ming was a little emotional.

Of course, just thinking about it, Gu Ming knew very well that the distribution of the six major publishers was also a kind of strength. It was the fruit of many years of hard work.

How many employees do you need to support every year?

If it were to switch to a second-tier distributor in North America, it would be difficult to reach this figure at the box office.

It might even be quite a bit different.

Second-tier distributors will not pay such a high price, because not only in terms of box office, but also in terms of various incomes such as discs and derivatives, they are not rivals of the Big Six.

In fact, this is also a win-win situation.

"Didn't you also make a good deal?" Anthony smiled and put his arm around Gu Ming's shoulders. "From now on, you will be Sony Columbia's A-level co-director."

"Your projects will definitely get the green light from now on!"

"Even some projects that everyone thinks will fail, as long as you take the lead, we will give it a try. Who makes your projects continue to make money?"

“Even the projects that we supervise make money.”

"Aren't you the next Jerry Bruckheimer? For more than 20 years, the projects you have led have never failed."

"No! I'm not who's next, I'm Gu Ming!"

"I like this sentence!" Anthony agreed deeply.

In the next month, Gu Ming stayed in the United States almost all the time, following Sony Columbia's arrangements and participating in various public relations activities.

Until June 3th.

The Oscars are held on this day.
