Rebirth of the Powerful

Chapter 411 I Hate That Nightgown

Martin Davis looked at him. No matter how you look at it, this gentleman doesn't look like a character who has money to invest in a film company. It is quite possible to say that he is a small lawyer everywhere.

"Are you Mr. Xia Xiaoluo?" Martin didn't stand up, put down his knife and fork, and asked indifferently, leaning on the comfortable swivel chair. He regretted wasting his precious time. If he didn't see these people, what would he do? He should have already had breakfast, and set up his own private jet to come to the beach on the west coast, watch the blonde beauty basking in the sun, or go to meet the few owners who are looking for venture capital that is likely to bring him huge benefits. Fresh out of Stanford for a patent.

"No, I'm just Mr. Xia Xiaoluo's assistant. This is Mr. Xia Xiaoluo from China." Eric quickly explained, and then took a step sideways to introduce this Hollywood big shot.

"This..." Martin Davis retracted the word "child" in time. As a big man, he must maintain his demeanor.Martin Davis was surprised, but only surprised.

"Hello, I'm Xia Xiaoluo who made an appointment with you, and I'm from Huaxia." Xia Xiaoluo stepped forward with a smile and extended her right hand.

"Hi, I'm Martin Davis." Martin moved for the first time, shaking the kid's hand slightly.The calmness of the young man made Martin look at him differently, at least he certainly couldn't achieve this childlike calmness at this age.

"You only have 5 minutes, because I'm going back to the head office to deal with some things." Martin Davis frowned, raised his wrist and looked at his watch, and said quickly.

He didn't have much interest in receiving the combination of a girl and a child. It was probably some unsatisfactory screenwriter or actor begging for a development opportunity.However, with this yellow face, even if that little girl is good-looking, it is too difficult to gain a foothold in Hollywood. Over the years, only Bruce Lee has done it.

Xia Xiaoluo's good mood suddenly turned sour, but she still had a smile on her face. He was prepared for this kind of cold reception.Chu Xiuhan squeezed his hand quietly. Martin's arrogance made it unacceptable to the popular girls in both sides of the Taiwan Strait. However, he still hoped that Xia Xiaoluo would remain calm. After all, this is Hollywood, and they are talking about hundreds of millions of dollars. Business.

"Five minutes is enough." Xia Xiaoluo walked to the sofa and sat down, smiling directly at Martin Davis.

"It's still 4 minutes and 20 seconds. This Mr. Xia Xiaoluo, please tell me why you are here." Martin Davis raised his hand and looked at his watch again, looking at Xia Xiaoluo as he did his duty, with some interest in his heart, he said Maybe I can give this interesting child a few more minutes, maybe it can make my mood better. The business data in the first half of the year is really bad, which seriously damaged Martin Davis's good mood.

"Okay, I'll just explain why I'm here." Xia Xiaoluo didn't make any detours, and she wouldn't take the burden of being treated badly and leave.Because he knows that to gain the respect of others, one must first have the strength to be respected by others.

"I came to visit Mr. Martin today because I want to discuss cooperation with you, but before we get down to business, I think I should let you see my preparations before we come to negotiate." Xia Xiaoluo gestured to Chu Xiuhan, The girl took out a letter of credit from her bag and gently placed it on the desk of the boss of Paramount.

"This is?" Martin picked it up curiously. It is a credit certificate issued by a Swiss bank, which clearly confirms that the teenager sitting on the sofa and looking at him has a "strong culture" film and television risk. Investment company deposits.

Martin scanned the numbers below with a smile, and the smile froze on his face in an instant, one zero, two zeros... ten zeros!

The big man who is used to seeing a lot of wealth couldn't help but wiped his eyes, and took a closer look. That's right, ten zeros, this is a billion-dollar economic credit guarantee issued by a Swiss bank.This thin piece of paper can show one thing, that is, that young man who sits comfortably has at least one billion dollars in deposits in a Swiss bank!

"cough--"

Martin coughed, corrected his color, and gently pushed back the credit card. From this moment on, he became serious.There are many people with a billion-dollar asset, and he knows at least dozens of them, but this Mr. Xia Xiaoluo is the first person he has ever seen who can hand out a billion-dollar cash at any time.Age is no longer a problem, skin color is just a joke, strength always comes first, Xia Xiaoluo has proved her strength and sincerity, and Martin Davis will not neglect any billionaire who comes with sincerity.

"Please sit down, both of you." Martin sat up straight and said politely, and then ordered the personal butler standing at the door: "Judy, go and pour a few cups of coffee for the guests."

"I don't drink coffee, I only drink tea." Xia Xiaoluo said.

Chu Xiuhan helped the boy repeat it, and Martin laughed loudly: "Sorry, I was negligent, Chinese people like to drink tea. By the way, I remember that a friend of Huaxia gave me a good Longjing. I'm not willing to drink it." In fact, he is not used to the faint fragrance, but at this time, it is a very happy thing for him to flatter this young man.

Martin Davis's secretary was well-trained, and within 2 minutes, two cups of coffee and a cup of hot tea were placed on the coffee table.

"Then, Mr. Xia Xiaoluo, you can tell why you are here." Martin Davis looked at the hem of the silk nightgown, which made him feel a little unnatural.

Xia Xiaoluo nodded: "Mr. Martin, I heard that Paramount's recent business conditions are not ideal?"

"You want to buy Paramount?" Martin looked at Xia Xiaoluo with great interest: "It's just that the credit certificate you just presented is not enough, or the amount is multiplied by ten so that I can continue to discuss this topic with you. "

"No, no, no," Xia Xiaoluo waved her hand, "I like movies, but I have no interest in film companies."

"What do you mean?"

Xia Xiaoluo took a sip of tea, collected herself and said, "I hope to invest in a few movies, a few movies that I am interested in."

"Oh?" Martin's interest has greatly diminished. Investing in making movies may be a big deal for some small companies, but it is dispensable to him. "Do you want to cooperate with Paramount to invest in the film?"

"Yes, but it's not a financial cooperation. I will invest in your issue."

"Any specific plans?"

Xia Xiaoluo nodded, crossed one leg on the other, and said lightly, "I plan to cast five to ten big-budget films within two years. Well, funding is not a problem."

"Two years, ten films? Big production?" Martin finally cheered up. What do these three words mean? It means that someone is willing to spend a lot of money to help Paramount.Martin is rich, and Paramount is also very valuable, but these are just assets, not cash.Xia Xiaoluo's proposal is very tempting. If you can come up with hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars in cash, it will shock people even in Wall Street.

"Oh!" Xia Xiaoluo suddenly looked at her watch, and said regretfully, "I'm sorry, the time is up for 5 minutes, sorry for taking up your precious time."

The boy stood up proudly, turned his head and asked Eric: "Mr. Eric, have you made an appointment with Warner Brothers?"

"An appointment has been made, one o'clock in the afternoon, sir."

"Then...Mr. Martin," Xia Xiaoluo said with a smile, "I have already stated my plan. If you think it is possible, you can directly contact my lawyer, Mr. Eric. Goodbye."

As he said that, the boy walked towards the door, Chu Xiuhan translated his words word by word, nodded his head and followed behind Xia Xiaoluo.

"Wait a minute!" Martin finally stood up. Now, he particularly hated his set of silk pajamas, which he was always proud of, which was made by Jinbi, a top luxury family in Europe. How impolite it seemed. "Mr. Xia Xiaoluo, please wait a moment."

There is a billion dollars in front of you, if you don't know how to cherish it, you will definitely go to hell.

Paramount's financial situation in the past two years has been very poor. Let alone one billion US dollars, even if it takes [-] million US dollars to invest in new films, it will be very difficult.Martin knew that right now was an opportunity, an opportunity that might change Paramount's status quo in a while.Someone willing to spend money to gamble is a matter of great benefit and no harm to him.If the box office is not good, he doesn't need to bear any losses, but can get a commission instead. If the film is a big hit at the box office, it will be of great help to Paramount's reputation.

I guess even an idiot knows how to do this kind of business!

Xia Xiaoluo stopped, looked back at Martin, with a polite smile on her face, and explained: "I think Mr. Martin's time is too precious, I really dare not delay." What he did just now Because he didn't really want to go, he just paid back Martin's initial contempt for him.

"Mr. Xia Xiaoluo, I apologize for being rude at the beginning, please sit down and talk slowly, there is no time limit." He wiped the sweat from his forehead.He said: "If you don't mind, I'll go change my clothes first. I didn't change this nightgown because I was in a hurry to greet Mr. Xia's arrival in the morning."

"Evaluation on the strong cultural film venture capital company? This question is actually superfluous. People all over the world know what kind of company this company is. Wisdom, courage, and sense of responsibility. If you need me, I can put all the beautiful words In addition to this company. Shortcomings? I need to think about it. Well, the biggest shortcoming of this company is that it has never made mistakes, which makes people hate it. As for their shareholders? Sorry, I only know that they have a mysterious relationship with the hand of God I can't reveal too much about the relationship...”

When Martin Davis told the Daily News a few years later, he must have been telling the truth, because with Xia Luoluo's help, he sold 20 more than the other time and space Paramount when he changed hands. One hundred million U.S. dollars.Of course, he didn't know anything about it, but what this smart businessman could know was that if Xia Xiaoluo hadn't helped Paramount when it was at its lowest ebb, the famous film company wouldn't have been able to sell so high. price.
