Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

"Where does the water source of this lake come from?" Felwood Cisco asked.

"Underground river." Steven said.

The underground river turns this mountaintop lake into living water.

Moreover, the underground river is rich in nutrients and is also carried into the lake.

Because of this, this lake is so vibrant.

Coupled with the wind on the top of the mountain, the entire lake looks sparkling.

Portia secretly marveled at the beautiful scenery in front of her.

These rich people always take the best places.

Felwood Cisco was also amazed.

The scenery here is so beautiful.

The scenery here is not inferior to Mirror Lake.

However, due to geological reasons, Los Angeles has many lakes.

Felwood Cisco wondered whether he should also find a land with such beautiful scenery.

Being able to live in a place like this will definitely make you feel happy both physically and mentally.

"What is this lake called?"

"We haven't chosen a name yet." Steven said, looking at Chen Zhao at the same time: "Chen, what do you think it should be called?"

Chen Zhao touched his forehead: "Choose a name for yourself. I don't want to name it for you. If you are not satisfied in the future, you will blame me for naming it randomly."

Steven thought for a moment and said, "How about calling it Blessed Lake? I think this should be the land blessed by God."

Chen Zhao curled his lips. As expected, these foreigners all had similar tastes.

"Chen, don't you think my place is more beautiful than your Mirror Lake?"

"Haha... In terms of scenery, Mirror Lake is no worse than yours. In terms of value, my Mirror Lake is not at such a high altitude. Me, Fali and our children can run wildly as much as we want, and we can also herd cattle and sheep. , you can also grow your favorite fruits and vegetables, such as grapes, can you grow such good fruits here?"

"I have a wider view here, and I can easily go into the mountains to hunt. My dear, do you want to hunt? You can just come to Godfather to hunt in the future."

"My place is also connected to the forest, and you can go hunting in the mountains. We won't come to your place to hunt." Chen Zhao said disdainfully.

"How close is your place to the town? There are wild animals, but it's different here. The ecology is very sound."

"I can bring a yacht in, can you move the yacht to a lake in the mountains?"

"It's the same wherever the yacht is parked." Steven was also anxious.

Steven and Chen Zhao are as quick to talk as children.

Anyway, what I have in my house cannot be compared to yours.

The others looked at the two of them speechlessly.

Felwood Cisco stayed away from the quarrel between the two.

He is the most embarrassing one and doesn't want to offend anyone.

After the argument ended, Felwood Cisco said, "Mr. Steven, the best place to build the manor is over there. What do you think?"

"Why over there?"

"Because that side is to the west of the blessed lake, and the wind from the coastline blows from there, so from the wind direction, it is best to build a house facing the wind. When you relax in the courtyard during your free time, you can also directly enjoy the scenery from The wind from the coastline and the natural light from that direction are unobstructed, so you can get extremely abundant natural light all day long.”

"That seems to be true." Steven nodded: "My budget is 100 million US dollars."

Everyone was stunned, even Chen Zhao was frightened.

"Steven, are you crazy? This shouldn't cost so much, right?"

"My request is to surpass Chen's Mirror Lake. Mr. Felwood, can you provide an outstanding design plan?"

Chen Zhao's face darkened, and Felwood Cisco smiled bitterly.

No matter how he can answer, he can't say it in front of Chen Zhao. I will definitely do it.

"I can only provide the best possible design, I cannot give a definite answer."

"Steven, do you have too much money and nowhere to spend it?"

"At the beginning of next month, our first box office distribution will arrive."

Chen Zhao's eyes lit up: "How much can we share?"

"Currently, what we can get is the North American box office. The overseas box office still needs to be accounted for. After deducting various taxes, the first North American box office distribution should be 1.3 billion US dollars. Both of us have a 30% investment ratio, which is almost 400 million US dollars. dollars,” Steven said.

Felwood, Cisco and Portia were greatly stimulated, evil capitalists!

"Didn't that old bastard Rasfa get more?"

"There is no way. Not only is he one of the producers, but PLM is also the distributor. At least 50% of the profits from this movie go into his pocket."

Although Chen Zhao and Steven each account for 30% of the box office, it is impossible for them to really get 30% of the box office.

The two of them can account for 30% of the profit, not 30% of the box office.

"Then how much of the overseas box office can we share? The overseas box office is higher than the North American box office, right?"

"We can't share much overseas, not even as much as the North American box office."

"Why?"

"Nonsense, the division of overseas box office accounts is more complicated, especially PLM's distribution charges. According to the agreement signed at the time, overseas box office accounted for the majority of their revenue. The two of us each received US$300 million, which is about it."

Although their movie is a toy movie, when signing the contract, it was still very formal.

The share is whatever the share should be, and everything is done in accordance with the contract.

"We're going to blackmail that old bastard Rasfa, otherwise I won't be willing to do it."

"I think so too." Steven nodded.

"Felwood, just stay here today. You can bring people here for on-site inspection another day," Chen Zhao said.

"OK."

"Steven, we are going to Rasfa's house now."

"Come on, he stole a lot of wine from you. Today we are going to drink up all his wine cellar."

After Felwood Cisco came down the mountain, he parted ways with Chen Zhao and his group.

Although he also wanted to join in the fun, after all, his friendship with Chen Zhao and Steven was not enough to have fun together, so he had to say goodbye and leave.

Portia watched Chen Zhao and Steven who were leading the way arrive in Beverly Hills and then walked around a huge manor, feeling deeply hurt again.

Their friend is indeed a rich man, a super rich man.

When the butler Paul saw Chen Zhao and Steven coming, he left to greet them.

"Paul, is Rasfa at home?"

"Mr. Rasfa is in the company, I'm calling him now." Paul said.

"Just tell him that if he doesn't come back in half an hour, Chen and I will drink all the wine in his cellar."

Paul was helpless, but he couldn't stop Chen Zhao and Steven.

I could only pick up the phone and inform Rasfa honestly.
