Chinese Entertainment's Shining Star

In August, while the Chinese people were cheering for their Olympic athletes, some Americans on the other side of the ocean were experiencing grief and despair.

The subprime mortgage crisis, which had been brewing for a long time, finally broke out.

In fact, in Nie Wei's view, it was already very impressive that the US financial system could drag on to this point. You should know that at the beginning of the year, the country's subprime loans had exceeded one trillion, accounting for 30% of the country's entire mortgage market. When Nie Wei knew this data, he had already seen the fragility behind it.

This is already a very abnormal data. Subprime loans originally represent the credit of the borrower itself. This type of loan occupies nearly one-third of the entire market, which also represents how unstable the country's mortgage market is.

However, these crises were covered up by the country's false prosperity of the real estate market. People only saw that the house had doubled several times after a few years of purchase. Buying a house and letting it go for one or two years would earn more than working hard for ten years.

Now that the falsehood has been exposed, many lenders and lenders can jump off the rooftop.

Nie Wei doesn't care whether the American people are in dire straits or not. He has been waiting for this opportunity with a long-term layout. Many shell companies have begun to acquire the heavy properties of those subprime companies on the verge of bankruptcy. The houses that originally cost 1.5 million US dollars can now be bought for less than 300,000 US dollars, and a full set of furniture and appliances are also given.

Some subprime companies even sell off the entire building to make up for their company's terrible bad debts.

In addition, the stocks of many listed real estate companies have also plummeted. Anyway, in this wave of subprime crisis, Nie Wei can at least make more than 3 billion US dollars in profits from this country.

Of course, this is also the limit of the benefits that Nie Wei can get, because he has received accurate internal information. Someone from the US Securities and Exchange Commission has proposed to list his three shell companies as objects of concern.

However, this proposal was not passed in the end. After all, many financial giants around the world have profited from the financial crisis. Nie Wei seems to have benefited a lot, but compared with those big financial groups, it is not worth mentioning. The US Securities and Exchange Commission is now in a state of panic and has put all its attention on those big financial groups. As long as a small fish like Nie Wei is not full, they don't care at all.

So Nie Wei also stopped when he saw the good.

Of course, Nie Wei can't get all the 3 billion US dollars. There are also taxes and public relations fees, etc., which will eventually reach Nie Wei and be able to use openly. About 1 billion US dollars.

And Nie Wei has decided to invest all this money in the cinema chain to accelerate the development of the cinema chain. However, this money is not invested in China, but used to acquire AMC Cinema Company far across the ocean.

That's right, Nie Wei is using the money he just earned in the United States to acquire American companies.

This is not because Nie Wei has any bad taste, but he has planned this aspect a long time ago.

As the second largest cinema chain in the United States, AMC has not had an easy time in recent years. Years of deficits have caused the company's rating to drop again and again, and this nearly 100-year-old cinema brand is about to collapse and go bankrupt.

Its current value is about 800 million to 1 billion. This is also because of the impact of the subprime mortgage crisis. The value of many theaters under AMC has greatly decreased. Otherwise, its value would be even higher. After all, as the second largest cinema chain in North America, even if there are many crises, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse.

Nie Wei has his eyes on this company and wants to make a layout in Hollywood in advance.

After all, in this circle, mastering the cinema chain is equivalent to mastering the initiative. If you want to get into Hollywood, you must at least come up with a value worthy of the heart of these Hollywood film companies, and this cinema company is the stepping stone that Nie Wei wants to knock on the door of Hollywood.

And AMC is also in urgent need of a new boss who can help them bear the huge losses every year.

The transaction negotiation has been started. Both parties are willing and the progress is very fast. If everything goes well, Nie Wei will unlock the achievement of "AMC Boss" before "Assassin's League" is released worldwide.

However, before unlocking the achievement of AMC Boss, Nie Wei first received gratitude from Wang Ke.

Wang Ke has been watching the reports from the United States these days. Looking at those capitalists jumping off the rooftop, he felt a chill on his back. He couldn't imagine that if Nie Wei hadn't reminded him at the beginning, would he also be one of those who stepped onto the rooftop at this moment?

You know, if the original layout had not changed, then at this moment, he should have been forced into a dead end by his own customers, and the worth he had earned over the years would also be lost.

Unlike now, not only did he not lose money, but because of the early layout, he also made a lot of money behind Nie Wei.

During this period, in addition to being afraid, he was thinking about how to find Nie Wei to express his gratitude.

However, how to thank Nie Wei was also a difficult matter for Wang Ke. In terms of money, Nie Wei was much richer than him. Even if he bought a gift worth millions, he probably wouldn't care.

This made Wang Ke, who was used to solving problems with money, very embarrassed. In the end, he still asked his wife for help.

"What's there to worry about? Isn't giving gifts all about giving what the person likes? Think about what Nie Wei likes?" Liu Tao said.

"How would I know? Honey, you are familiar with him. Give me some advice." Wang Ke asked, holding Liu Tao's hand.

"He likes to drink tea and calligraphy. He is also very good at playing Go. In addition, I heard from Shu Chang that Nie Wei also likes to play online games. Do you know that he not only likes to play online games, but also planned two games. The most popular online games DNF and LOL are both planned by him." Liu Tao went off topic while talking, and his words were full of admiration for Nie Wei, which made Wang Ke a little jealous, and her eyebrows were furrowed.

As a couple, Liu Tao quickly noticed the change in her husband's mood, and hurriedly held her husband's hand, praising him in a sweet voice: "Of course, my husband is the best, muma!" After praising, Liu Tao did not forget to give her husband a kiss to encourage him.

Liu Tao's kiss made Wang Ke smile unconsciously, and his expression instantly brightened.

Finally, Wang Ke decided to give Nie Wei a set of custom-made Go. The chessboard was made of Torreya grandis, and the chess pieces were replaced with natural jade. In addition to the labor costs of the two masters who made the chessboard and chess pieces, this custom-made Go cost Wang Ke nearly 700,000 yuan.

However, the value of the gift was secondary. Wang Ke was more concerned about whether Nie Wei liked the gift.

Wang Ke didn't worry for long. One day after the gift was sent, Wang Ke received a text message from Nie Wei, thanking him for his kindness and inviting him to attend the warm-up party with Shu Chang in a while.

"Haha, it's done!" Wang Ke jumped up happily when he received the text message.

Especially the fact that Nie Wei invited them to the warm-up party made Wang Ke very excited, which proved that Nie Wei had further accepted him to join the circle.

This is absolutely very important to Wang Ke. You must know that in the investment circle, one relies on one's own vision and the other on experience. In addition, you have to find a good backer.

Like this time, following Nie Wei, the profits he earned not only made up for the losses caused by the previous change of strategy, but also made a lot of money. This is the benefit of following a big boss.

"Look at how excited you are." Liu Tao on the side didn't understand what Wang Ke was excited about. Isn't it just being invited to the warm-house banquet? Isn't this a very normal thing?

"You don't understand, you really don't understand." Wang Ke didn't explain to Liu Tao, and he couldn't explain it clearly. He only knew that if he could be accepted by Nie Wei, then his investment industry would surely have a chance to take off again in the future.

The subprime mortgage crisis in the United States basically did not affect the domestic real estate industry in China. Houses in the four major cities were sold at a high price. A week of hesitation could turn it into a higher price.

This made Nie Wei's new home, which covers an area of ​​more than 5,000 square meters, seem particularly luxurious.

On the day of the warm-house banquet, Nie Wei brought Shu Chang to the new villa early. Almost from the moment he entered the door, Shu Chang's eyes kept turning. This was also the first time she saw what the renovated new house looked like, including the super-large garden of 2,000 square meters.

It took a long time for Shu Chang to finish touring her home. Then she took Nie Wei's arm and said with distress in her first words.

"Honey, isn't our home a little too big?"

Big, this is Shu Chang's first impression of this new home.

Not to mention the big garden, the main building where she and Nie Wei live has three floors, not including the two floors in the basement.

Rather than calling it a villa, in Shu Chang's cognition, it seems more appropriate to call it a small palace.

Shu Chang even felt that if Nie Wei hadn't led her, she would even get lost in her own home.

"Wife, you have to try to get used to it. Maybe our family will change to a bigger house in the future." Nie Wei replied with a smile. This was not a lie. In Nie Wei's opinion, this villa was actually small. Which of the homes of those world-class rich people did not cover thousands of hectares?

Nie Wei was definitely a very low-key member of the rich.

Just when Shu Chang was still shocked by Nie Wei's words, the first guest of the Wenju Banquet arrived.

Cheng Kun walked into the villa with a surprised expression, looking left and right along the way, his eyes full of curiosity and envy.

"Nie Wei, you are such a great new homeowner." After meeting, Cheng Kun immediately gave a thumbs up and praised Nie Wei. After that, Cheng Kun couldn't help asking Nie Wei: "Are there any villas for sale nearby? I also want to buy one, but it should be smaller. I can't afford yours."

After seeing Nie Wei's villa, Cheng Kun suddenly wanted to buy a villa.

"You should discuss it with your sister-in-law first." Nie Wei smiled. Nie Wei was very clear about Cheng Kun's position in the family.

As soon as Nie Wei said this, Cheng Kun really never mentioned buying a villa again. I don't know if he gave up the idea or really wanted to go home and discuss it with his wife.

However, with the money Cheng Kun has earned over the years, it is not a problem to buy a smaller villa in this area.

After Cheng Kun, the next people to come were Liu Tao and Wang Ke. Soon Liu Tao took Shu Chang to visit the villa, but Wang Ke did not follow. Instead, he stayed to chat with Nie Wei and help welcome the guests.

However, as more and more guests arrived, Wang Ke suddenly felt a little strange. He did not expect that all the guests Nie Wei invited today were friends from the entertainment industry. As for people from the investment industry, he did not see any.

However, he thought about it again and felt that Nie Wei's invitation made sense. After all, they were not in the same circle, and it was inevitable that they would be embarrassed to get together.

Just like myself now, I know all these stars in front of me, and many of them have even attended his wedding, but it is very awkward to chat with them. The topic is only about his wife, which is the only intersection between him and these stars.

Most of the people who came to the scene today are stars from Huayi, such as Cheng Kun, Huang Xiaoming, Lin Shishi, Li Binbin, Fan Binbin, Jiang Xin, etc. Of course, there are also friends like Liu Tao who do not belong to Huayi, but have worked with them and have a good friendship.

It can be said that the thirty or forty people who came to the scene are Nie Wei's most closely related human resources in the entertainment industry. These people have been taken care of by Nie Wei to a certain extent.

After Nie Wei and Shu Chang led everyone to visit the villa, everyone came to the yard with a burst of exclamations. At this moment, the BBQ has been set up in the yard, and the barbecue master is on standby. With Nie Wei's order, the warm-house banquet officially began.

Everyone gathered in groups of three or two, and some people like Huang Xiaoming who couldn't sit still had already run to the barbecue master to learn from him and eat secretly.

"It's such a pity for Liu Feiren. When I saw him limping off the court with an injury, I almost cried."

"Who said it wasn't? It would be great if we could win the championship at home."

"I can't ask for more. I think it's good enough to try my best."

Most of the topics that Nie Wei and other men talked about were the Olympics that just ended, such as Liu Feiren's regrets and the perfect curtain call of diving queen Jingjing. On the other hand, the girls' topics were still around this villa.

"Shu Chang, I envy you so much. You found such a good husband. This is like building a small palace for you." Jiang Xin said enviously.

She came from an ordinary family. When she brought her parents to Kyoto to work hard, her biggest wish was to buy a big house for the whole family to live in.

Since then, she has had a special liking for big houses.

"This house is too big. I'm a little uncomfortable with it." Shu Chang said distressedly. Of course, there was a hint of pride between her eyebrows, which obviously revealed that she was enjoying the present.

After all, as a woman, she now has a career and a good husband. Apart from the fact that she still lacks a child, she feels that her life is perfect.

Just when she thought of this, Liu Tao said, "What's so big? When you have children, you won't dislike the size of this house. You can just have two more children."

Liu Tao meant to make a joke, but he didn't know that it just touched Shu Chang's heart.

Thanks to Fantasy Paradise and 0773 for their generous rewards.
