The king of ghost horse comedy

Chapter 644 Fortune and Misfortune

On the second day after the fundraising party, everyone got together to discuss the use of the funds.

A total of 5000 million US dollars is a piece of fat in anyone's eyes.Needless to say, Richard and David had already set their sights on this piece of fat pork.And other film companies, bankers, investors, etc. also want to get involved.

How much wealth can be derived from 5000 million US dollars, even if it is only put in the bank to eat interest, there are several million US dollars every year.If it is left to these bankers to take care of it, I am afraid that the profit will be even more.So this meeting is doomed to be full of swords and swords.

After Xu Guanwu received the invitation, he arrived at the venue early.He thought that he had come early enough, but he didn't know that there were others who were harmed earlier than him.Everyone is cooperating vertically and horizontally, trying to get their hands on this huge sum of money.

Everyone also knows that "The Lord of the Rings" will be filmed in a trilogy. Calculated at the rate of filming one film per year, it will take at least three years to film the trilogy.And the two hundred and fifty million US dollars will not be used in full at the first time, so now there is a question, should the investment be made in three batches, or should it be invested in all at once?
Richard, David and others naturally hope that the funds will be in place at one time, and the more money they have, the more opportunities they will make.Investors and bankers aspiring to get rich with this money also support this view.But for other film companies, they want to invest in multiple batches, because in this way their financial pressure will be relatively small, and they can also spare part of the funds for other investments.

Now everyone is looking for a partner to support themselves, so that they can get as much support as possible.As soon as Xu Guanwu arrived at the scene, he was immediately called away by Richard, which made the people of the other film company very depressed, and spat hard at Richard's back.

"Xu, you have to stand on our side this time." Richard said the first sentence.

"I've always been on your side, what's the matter?" Xu Guanwu asked strangely.

"It's like this. Although the fundraising is successful now, we are faced with two problems. The first is the way of investment. Is it to invest in batches or in one step? The other is who will manage the funds." Richard De explained to Xu Guanwu.

Xu Guanwu was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help laughing, "Of course the filming funds have to be in place at one time, otherwise why would I ask them to make a fortune together? It's a big joke. You tell them, if they can't afford it For the money, you can completely withdraw from this event, and there is no point in talking nonsense with them."

"That's very good, I'll tell them to go now." Richard's eyes lit up after hearing Xu Guanwu's words, and he went to declare war on those people with confidence.

Xu Guanwu saw that everyone who had finished talking with Richard showed embarrassment, embarrassment, disbelief, and anger on their faces. Then he saw that several film companies had withdrawn, but most of them still chose After staying, it seems that he really wants to invest in these three movies.

It is no wonder that they are reluctant to leave, because Xu Guanwu has never made a mistake in his investment in the United States over the years, and everyone has developed a blind obedience, that is, whatever he invests must be able to make money.Although everyone here is extremely intelligent and has made considerable contributions in their respective fields, it is difficult for ordinary people to influence their thoughts.But when they choose to listen to their own, or to listen to Xu Guanwu's opinion, they still choose to listen to Xu Guanwu.

There is such a situation in casinos, where a certain gambler seems to be extraordinarily lucky and wins everything.At this time, if other people follow suit and bet, they are likely to make a small fortune by taking advantage of his luck.Xu Guanwu seems to be the lucky one in the casino now, winning every time and winning quite a lot.So these investors bet like him, hoping to make a profit with his luck.

The meeting has not yet been officially opened, and a major problem has been solved. What is left now is the most critical issue of fund management rights. A huge amount of more than 2 million U.S. dollars may be as big as a small mountain when stacked together.With such a large sum of money, anyone who sees it will inevitably be tempted.

Richard and David kept circling around Xu Guanwu, "Xu, are you going to support our brothers?" David asked.

"I've said many times that I support you, so don't bother me anymore, okay? Isn't it just [-] million US dollars? Look at the two of you, it's as if you have never seen money." Xu Guanwu curled his lips and said.

"More than 2 million U.S. dollars. I have never seen so much money since I was a child. Of course I am excited." Richard laughed, "You will definitely support me, right?"

Xu Guanwu nodded, "Don't quarrel with me anymore, I really won't help you if you quarrel again."

When Richard and David heard this, they immediately ran away with a smile on their face.

Xu Guanwu just cleaned his ears, but before he could clean himself enough, someone came to his door immediately. "Mr. Xu, please allow me to introduce myself. I am David Finch, an outstanding banker and an excellent financial manager."

Seeing his chubby beer belly and fat face, Xu Guanwu couldn't help but smiled and nodded, "I can tell."

"Mr. Xu, do you intend to hand over the more than 2 million US dollars of filming funds to Richard Zanyuk and David Brown?" David Finch asked with a smile.

Xu Guanwu blinked, "This matter is my private matter, it seems inconvenient to tell you."

David quickly waved his hand, "Sorry, I didn't mean to inquire about your privacy, I just want to tell you something, lest you be deceived by some people's friendly appearance."

"Oh?! How do you say that?" Xu Guanwu blinked and said.

"It's like this. I have a friend who is a banker. He specializes in helping Richard Zanyuke manage his finances." David Finch whispered pretending to be mysterious, "He told me about Richard's account. Among them, some money is of unknown origin, and the amount of this money is quite a lot, with a total of about 700 million U.S. dollars."

"With Richard Zanjuk's current status in Hollywood, it's not unusual to make some money." Xu Guanwu waved his hand and said, "I don't understand why you make such a fuss."

"Mr. Xu, every time he works as a producer, some money will be deposited in his account. How can there be such a coincidence in the world?" David Finch explained, "And every amount of his legal income is The calculation is very clear, only the sixty-seven million dollars he can't explain, just ask my banker friend to help him settle it. Do you understand what I mean?"

"You mean that every time Richard Zanjuk worked as a film producer, some unknown funds would be deposited in his account, and he asked your banker friend to help him launder the money?" Xu Guanwu asked with a smile.

"That's right, that's it." David nodded and said in a low voice, "Mr. Xu, I suspect that he secretly embezzled filming funds behind your back."

"Since this is the case, it is true that you should call the police. I understand the laws of the United States. If you report it, you can get at least 100% of the stolen money. More than [-] million US dollars is not a small amount." Xu Guanwu said with a smile .

David Finch smiled embarrassingly, "I just heard from my friends, and I don't have any real evidence, how can I sue them."

Xu Guanwu also smiled, "Since you have no real evidence, I'm sorry that I can't trust you anymore. I have worked with Richard and the others for many years, and we have always gotten along well. I don't believe they will have that kind of evidence." Question. Unless you have real evidence, don't speak ill of my friend in front of me."

David Finch was accused by Xu Guanwu, and he almost regarded him as a solicitor, and his cheeks flushed with embarrassment, "I'm not trying to sow discord, it's the truth, if you don't believe me, you will regret it .”

David Finch roared loudly, the voice was too loud, and everyone present looked at him.He also quickly realized that he had lost his composure, quickly adjusted his clothes, and then quickly left the scene.

"What's the matter, buddy, what's the matter?" Richard and David came forward and asked in confusion.

Xu Guanwu smiled, "It's nothing, he's just a lunatic, saying that you have embezzled the money I used to make the movie, and told me not to trust you anymore. Do you think his words are ridiculous?"

Richard and David looked at each other with horror in their eyes, "Haha, yes, it's really ridiculous." The two laughed dryly at the same time.

"You think so too, don't you?! That's why I drove him away." Xu Guanwu smiled, "You are all the people I trust the most. We have worked together for so many years, so how could you listen to him? ?”

"Yes, yes, Xu, you did the right thing." Richard and David smiled timidly while their hearts were pounding.

……

After this little episode, everyone formally held a meeting soon to discuss the investment of 2000 million US dollars.Several film companies that just exited did not accept the one-time investment proposal, so the total amount was reduced by 3000 million US dollars.But even so, the remaining 2000 million US dollars is actually enough to shoot this film.

It's just that what needs to be discussed now is who should take care of the money.Two hundred and twenty million US dollars is not a small amount, and how to deal with them is indeed a difficult problem.Everyone was very cautious about this matter. At the first time, none of these heavyweights made a sound, but some small companies acted as pawns, chattering non-stop there.

Xu Guanwu noticed that the other side's opinion is to set up a foundation to be responsible for supervising the use of this money. The personnel of the foundation are elected by these people present, and the funds to maintain the operation of the foundation are derived from 2000 million US dollars. to pay.

Of course, Richard, David, and Fox are advocating that the money should be handed over to the producer, and other people can only participate in the investment. As for the details of filming, the use of funds, etc., they have no right to interfere.

Representatives from both sides came and went, and the quarrel was quite lively.

Xu Guanwu was watching from the sidelines and refused to express his opinion for a long time.Seeing this, several other major investment giants also remained silent, waiting for these little shrimps to finish their quarrel.

A group of little shrimps quarreled for half an hour, but they couldn't come up with any decent results.Seeing the smell of gunpowder getting stronger and the scene getting hotter, Xu Guanwu couldn't help shouting, "Enough!" His voice was a bit like the King of Destruction Baal's shout on Arreat Mountain.

Everyone present was startled and turned their heads to look at him in surprise.

Xu Guanwu moved his eyes slowly, and glanced at everyone present, "Everyone's time is precious, and I don't think we need to waste any more time. I support the two producers, Richard and David, to manage and use The two of them and I have worked together for many years on this fund. They are of high moral character and impartiality. I believe in their professional ethics, and I also believe that they will make good use of this money to make the best movies for everyone. bring the richest returns."

Hearing Xu Guanwu praise themselves so much, both Richard and David puffed up their chests, their faces brightened.

Seeing that Xu Guanwu praised the two of them so much, everyone present couldn't help but look at each other.At this moment, Xu Guanwu said again, "I choose to support the two of them, please raise your hand if you agree with me!" He was the first to raise his hand.

Afterwards, those who supported Richard and David also took the opportunity to raise their hands, creating a huge momentum for a while, and some neutral elements couldn't help but also raised their hands.
