The king of ghost horse comedy

Chapter 77 Investing in "Jaws"

After receiving affirmative replies from Richard and David, Xu Guanwu laughed from ear to ear all day, and at night he found that his mouth was crooked.

Richard Zanjuk and David Brown laughed from ear to ear when each received 100 million US dollars. This sum of money was the largest sum they had earned in recent years.

Seeing the two of them happily put the check in their pockets, Xu Guanwu couldn't help showing a smug smile, "After the box office of "Jaws" comes out, you two brothers will run to bed and cry with $100 million in their arms. .”

But the matter did not end here, and there is still an unresolved problem that is the script. Chettley never wanted to give up his own interests. He rejected Xu Guanwu's proposal of 50 US dollars and insisted on getting 10% of the film's net profit.

Xu Guanwu felt very distressed by this, he never thought that he would meet such a guy who doesn't care about anything.

To be honest, he would rather let Richard Zanjuk and David Brown share the 10% profit than give the screenwriter the money for nothing.

Because Richard Zanjuk and David Brown are well-known producers, they may cooperate with Xu Guanwu in the future.But this Ben Chettley has almost no chance of collaborating again.

Xu Guanwu thought hard all night, and the next day, he directly withdrew 100 million US dollars from the bank.

Because the withdrawal amount was too large, the manager on duty was even alarmed.

In the United States, due to the developed financial industry and the widespread distribution of POS machines, people rarely carry large amounts of cash when traveling.

There are very few people like Xu Guanwu who took 100 million US dollars in one go. Seeing that the situation was abnormal, the manager on duty almost called the police for help.

After some explanations, Xu Guanwu took out the money smoothly.

However, it was also the first time he had seen the concept of 100 million dollars piled up together, like a pile of books piled up, filling up the suitcase brought by Xu Guanwu, and shaking Xu Guanwu's waist with his hands .

"Good guy, I didn't expect $100 million to be so heavy." Panting heavily, Xu Guanwu put the cash box into the car with both hands, and then, accompanied by David Brown and Richard Zaniuk, drove to Ben. Chetley's residence.

……

"Go back, I have nothing to talk to you about." Ben Chettley said to Xu Guanwu coldly.

"Mr. Ben Chetley, don't you want to see what I brought you today?" Xu Guanwu said as he opened the cash box, and poured out all the money inside with a bang.

The brand-new $100 million piled up into a hill in an instant, and it still faintly smelled of ink.

"This..." Ben Chettley couldn't help being taken aback when he saw so much cash all of a sudden.

Americans seldom carry large amounts of cash, one is not needed, and the other is to avoid being the target of robbery.

It was also the first time for Ben Chettley to see so many dollars piled up together. He couldn't help swallowing, "Sir, what do you mean?"

"I want to use this money to buy your share. You can choose not to agree, but I will burn 1 dollars every minute." Xu Guanwu said seriously.

"Are you kidding me?" Ben Chettley shouted in surprise.

Xu Guanwu smiled without answering, and concentrated on looking at the watch on his wrist.

The room fell silent in an instant, everyone held their breaths and concentrated their eyes on Xu Guanwu, watching his performance for the next minute.

As the second hand clicked step by step, everyone's heartbeat accelerated, and finally...

"One minute!" Xu Guanwu said suddenly, then he picked up a stack of dollars, took out a lighter with his right hand, snap!
The flames appeared, and in the next second, the ten thousand dollars were ignited.

"You are really crazy!" Ben Chettley roared in surprise and regret.

"Stanley, you can't do this, that's ten thousand dollars." Richard Zanyuk also exclaimed.

He didn't expect that Xu Guanwu would dare to do this. This is a real $[-], not a prop for filming.

Ten thousand dollars quickly turned to fly ash.

Xu Guanwu blew on the confetti standing on his hand, looking calm and breezy.

"Mr. Chetley, it's only $99 now." Xu Guanwu smiled.

Ben Chettley could not help but feel a pang of heartache seeing the ten thousand dollars turned into ashes, because he had already regarded the money as his own property.

"It's another minute." Seeing the muscles on Ben Chettley's face twitching, Xu Guanwu knew that Ben Chettley's heart had been moved. In order to make him give in completely, he quickly picked up another 1 dollars.

"Stop!" Seeing that the lighter in Xu Guanwu's hand was about to reach the wad of dollars, Ben Chettley shouted at the top of his lungs, "I promise you."

"That's right, if you agreed earlier, the ten thousand dollars would not have been burned." Xu Guanwu said with feigned regret.

Ben Chettley looked at the ashes of the ten thousand dollars, and couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache.

Xu Guanwu successfully recovered 10% of the share from Ben Chettley, and he was in a good mood.

"Stanley, now I feel like I sold it too early." Richard said depressingly.

Ben Chettley only got 10 US dollars with a 99% profit share, and Richard and David only got 40 million US dollars with a 200% share, and the income was directly cut in half.

"If we had known you wanted to invest so much, we would have called it higher." David also said depressed.

Hearing the complaints of the two, Xu Guanwu couldn't help laughing triumphantly, "If Ben Chettley knew that he had lost at least tens of millions of dollars, I don't know if he would hit the wall depressed."

……

After successfully recovering all the profit sharing, Xu Guanwu generously injected new funds into "Jaws".Of course, in order to avoid wanton misuse of his investment, Xu Guanwu also specially hired someone to supervise the production on the set, reviewing all expenses every day to ensure that every fund is worth the money.

It's no wonder that Xu Guanwu was too cautious. He was wandering in Hollywood alone, so he had to plan carefully.

After Richard Zanjuk and David Brown received Xu Guanwu's investment, they immediately rushed back to the location in Massachusetts to restart the filming of the movie "Jaws".

To Xu Guanwu's regret, he did not meet the legendary director, Steven Spielberg.

Because Spielberg is still staying in Martha's Vineyard at this moment, waiting for Richard and David to bring back sufficient funds.

Xu Guanwu really wanted to take this legendary director into his pocket, because he is one of the few Hollywood directors who can integrate art films and commercial films.

He can not only make blockbuster commercial films such as "Jaws", "Jurassic Park" and "Raiders of the Lost Ark", but also make such shocking films as "Saving Private Ryan", "ET" and "Schindler's List". Heartfelt work of art.

"It's really a pity!" Xu Guanwu looked up to the sky and sighed because he had a relationship with the beautiful woman.

After sending Richard and David away, Xu Guanwu brought in the producer of "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest".
