The Salted Fish Invading the Entertainment Circle

Chapter 149 The Mysterious Private Fund

The days are moving forward day by day, and more than half a month has passed in the blink of an eye;

The crew of "Resident Evil 2" has already started filming, judging from the two short clips that have been passed on, the effect is pretty good,

It's just that Yang Xiao said that he has never had the experience of shooting "no real objects" shots on a large scale. Facing the large batch of green screen shots behind him, he lacks confidence in writing;
Yang Zhu said to him indifferently that shooting green screen shots is like paying public rations to his wife. If you fantasize a little more in your mind, you will be able to enter the state. Those actors look at them as human beings. If you ask them to shoot dozens of times for a single scene, who would dare to have a BB with you?

Finally, Yang Zhu specifically stated that unless it involves religious and folk taboos, no special treatment is allowed to be given to those foreign actors, even food, all according to the habits of the crew, rice is served to those who deserve it, and tea is given to those who deserve it Drinking tea; I am not used to it, let them go out to eat with their own money after they go off-camera!

Yang Xiao naturally knew what Yang Zhu meant, and quickly patted his chest to promise that he would never allow the crew to suffer from schizophrenia.

After hanging up the video call, Yang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief like a high school student who passed the mock exam. Then he looked at Wan Jing who was applying makeup in the crew, and thought about whether he should adjust the crew's food taste. ?

I heard that he is from southern Hunan, so he probably likes spicy food.
Hmm... let the staff go to the nearby Chinatown to see if there are relatively authentic Hunan or Sichuan restaurants?
As for those gringos who can't eat spicy food?
No matter what, this is a Chinese crew, and eating spicy food is a Chinese specialty!

If you are not used to it, you can buy burgers with your own money!

………………

Compared with "Resident Evil 2", the crew of "The Second Depression" is boring and full of ants - the crew has not started work yet.

It's not that Yang Jin's work is ineffective, but that the most important thing in this drama is not the movie itself, but the PY transaction beforehand.

The prior interest binding work has not been completed, how do you ask the crew to choose actors?How do you start without actors?
"This is an investment institution that has been contacted during this period of time and has the intention to cooperate. Take a look." Lin Xiong sat on a chair and rubbed his brows with a little tiredness; Flying all over the place really made his body unbearable.

Yang Zhu picked up the thick catalog of investment intentions in front of him, and flipped through it carefully;

Lin Tu was also very tired, and said weakly:
"Daddy Yang, is the trick you made really reliable?"

"Since we let people release the gambling agreement, those capital institutions have been tempted, but... what if we can't complete it?"

The corner of Yang Zhu's mouth twitched. The movie "Second Depression" did not have much investment in itself, but in order to attract more American imperialist local forces to escort future actions, let major capitals blend in It is very necessary to come in.

However, how can an investment share of tens of millions of dollars attract those truly powerful capital institutions?
So, Yang Zhu thought of a bad idea - betting against the box office;
The general idea is that the film will release 67% of the shares to attract investors and set up a fund pool of 1 million US dollars;
Investors need to provide necessary support for film promotion, public opinion, and theater chains. If the box office of the film exceeds US$3 million three months after its release, all parties will draw a share of the box office in accordance with the corresponding proportion;

If after three months, the box office does not exceed 3 million U.S. dollars, Huaxia will not take a cent, and will take 33% of its share of the box office to compensate investors in proportion, and the 1 million U.S. dollars in the fund pool will also be paid to the investors. major investment institutions.

In this way, where can the major investment institutions sit still?

It only needs to invest a few million dollars (including publicity and public relations fees), and the income can range from dozens of times to hundreds of times;
No matter whether the movie makes money or loses money, they will make money without losing money. Where can they find such a good thing?
Immediately, all major capitals threw olive branches at this "stupid company" from China;
Many people ridiculed in private that this company spared no expense in order to obtain American cinema resources; do you really think that one movie can open up the American film market and make money from it?
Hey, the island country decades ago is your role model!

………………

Before Yang Zhu could reply, Lin Xiong cursed with a dark face:

"Lin Tu, why are you still looking at things so superficially?"

"It doesn't matter whether this movie makes money or supports you!"

"The important thing is to bring these capable capital parties into the game, so that they can act as our umbrella!"

"You know, if the goal is achieved, our biggest income will come from the stock market,"

"If it works well, it will make tens of billions of dollars in profits, that's fine;"

"If we can really achieve our goal, a few hundred million dollars is nothing. I won't even blink if I add another few hundred million dollars to it!"

Lin Tu shrank his neck and muttered:

"But Dad, you also said that you can't treat everyone else as a fool. I don't believe that no one in the United States can figure out what's wrong with such a big pie!"

"At that time, if people don't work hard, or use some tricks secretly, then we won't be able to please both sides?"

Yang Zhu smiled:
"You're right. There are a lot of smart people in the U.S. empire, and the people in those investment institutions are as smart as monkeys. Therefore, if we throw out such a big pie, someone must have seen the problem."

"But... I am an upright conspiracy, so what if I see the problem?"

Lin Tu was a little puzzled, and Yang Zhu patiently explained:
"The national conditions of the US imperialist side are different from ours. Its economic operation logic at the grassroots level is [free economy]; while the political and economic core at the upper level is [oligarchy];"

"You can think of those [oligarchic groups] as the [clan] of our country before the Song Dynasty;"

"What's the virtue of [Family Clan]? If you like Chinese history so much, you should understand it, right?"

Lin Tu nodded. Of course he knew what kind of cancer the ancient Chinese elites were. "Having a family but no country" is the truest portrayal of them.

The smile in Yang Zhu's eyes grew stronger:

"So, we are playing like this. From the bright side, from the underlying logic, we are following the [free economy] principle of the United States, and it is tenable in righteousness;"

"But after all, we have many shady methods behind us. At this time, we need those American capital institutions with all-hands-on-the-eyes to cover it up for us, otherwise there will be big problems;"

"I just said that the upper political and economic core of the United States is the oligarchy. These guys, for the sake of profit, let him shoot the President of the United States, let alone help us cover up the traces."

"These investment institutions with various names are actually one of the main blood-sucking organs of these oligarchy groups;"

"So compared to your worries, I care more about whether we can catch a valuable oligarchy!"

Lin Tu thought for a while, but was still a little worried:
"Daddy Yang, but don't you often say that the decision-makers of a large group should at least follow the principle of [Franklin Analysis]?"

"For the benefit of hundreds of millions of dollars, how could they just..."

The so-called "Franklin analysis method" is a kind of profit and loss analysis method similar to the balance of balance. The benefits and possible harms that can be achieved are written on the left and right sides respectively. If the gains are less than the losses, then give up; If there is more than loss, do it.

Yang Zhu heard this, and looked at him with a half-smile:
"Archimedes said, give me a lever, and I can lift the whole earth,"

"Do you really understand the meaning of this sentence?"

Lin Tu was a little taken aback, and somehow brought up this topic again.

The smile on Yang Zhu's face was very strange:

"As you said just now, that is the thinking logic of decision makers of large groups;"

"But, for the heads of those capital institutions, are they really [group decision makers]?"

"No, they are just the big soldiers under the oligarchy;"

"Since they are big-headed soldiers, they follow the naked law of the jungle;"

"You must know that these investment institutions themselves also have very strict performance indicators;"

"In a word, if the energy keeps bringing in profits, then get promoted and raise your salary, and reach the pinnacle of your life;"

"If you can't satisfy the appetite above, then I'm sorry, get out of here in a minute, go to the streets to beg for food or sell yourself XD, it's up to you!"

"In this case, a few hundred million dollars of meat is enough for them to temporarily become dogs and do what we want them to do for us."

“This is the first [force point] of Archimedes’ lever;”

"When our movie was released, the second hand was used, and the United States began to be chaotic;"

"At this time, various chain reactions have occurred. If the chaos is not severe for the time being, we can involve them in short-selling the stock market and give up part of the benefits, thus adding weight to our side of the scale;"

"With sufficient interests and the situation in the United States [temporarily controllable], the group behind them, even if they are upset, will continue to entangle with us after some consideration, and we will eat meat first before talking about it;"

"You must know that the force point can change at any time; this is the second [force point] of Archimedes' lever;"

"If in the end, due to various mutual catalysis, the situation in the United States is completely out of control and has risen to a dangerous level. At this time, these groups, even if we don't give them a penny, they will have to help us cover it up."

"Because, under the Benchmark Selection of Franklin Analysis, they cannot bear the consequences of this exposure,"

"At this point, do you think that Archimedes' lever can make the earth tremble?"

After listening to this, Lin Tu finally understood why Yang Zhu insisted on making a seemingly extremely risky gambling agreement;
Sure enough... As Yang Dada has always said, kung fu lies outside poetry!

………………

After explaining to Lin Tu, it took Yang Zhu a full two hours to read the thick "catalogue";
After pondering for a while, he turned over from the beginning again, sorted out a few pieces of paper, and handed them to Lin Xiong.

"Uncle Lin, these are a few institutions that I think I can get in touch with. Do you have any control over them?"

Lin Xiong took the four pieces of paper and looked at them carefully. The first three were all right, one was followed by Mogen, one was followed by Zhijiage Group, and the other was followed by California Group;
But the last one, he was a little confused. This one turned out to be a mysterious private fund with almost no detailed information. It only wrote a statement of intent to subscribe for 20% of the project's shares.

Under normal circumstances, Lin Xiong would hardly even take a look at this piece of paper, but since Yang Zhu singled it out, the meaning in it is worth mentioning.

"My dear nephew, do you have anything to say about this private foundation?"

Yang Zhu smiled: "Uncle Lin, what I mean is, in order to ensure that this bait is attractive enough, we only choose three companies to invest in;"

"In the first three, the investment institutions under the [Paper Canada Group] are candidates. After all, they represent the interests of agricultural capital behind them. I'm afraid they won't have many places to use them; if the conditions are negotiated more smoothly If so, let it out;”

"As for the last private fund...we must let him in, even if his conditions are not favorable at the beginning, we must not let it go."

Lin Xiong hesitated: "Is there anything special about this private fund?"

Then something suddenly came to mind: "Could it be that... this private fund is one of the mouthpieces of those two [organizations]?"

Yang Zhu shook his head: "I'm not sure either;"

"However, when all major capitals are swarming, they still dare to hand over the list to us, and the information on it is so vague, it must not be easy;"

"Uncle, you also know that in the United States, in addition to various secret organizations, some political families also have similar oral organizations;"

"No matter which one it is, it is far more valuable to our plan than the previous ones;"

"So, uncle might as well contact this private fund a few more times, establish a good customer relationship, and have a general understanding of the background behind him. I believe that if we express enough sincerity, they should tell us some peripheral information. ;"

"Maybe, we can rely on this private fund to fuel the fire even more!"

Lin Xiong stared at Yang Zhu, always feeling that he knew something, but he was also a person who had been in the society for decades. He knew that if there were some secrets that he didn't want to tell, it was best not to ask;

Since I have decided to trust Yang Zhu, it is better not to get to the bottom of some things.

He nodded immediately, and immediately took out the phone to arrange the next round of work arrangements.

Yang Zhu touched the piece of paper on the table back, staring blankly at the name of the private equity fund on it,
An inexplicable smile appeared on the corner of his mouth;

Ah……

Fortunately, I saw the name of this private equity fund in another world;

Well...certainly not positive news.

In that world, on September 2012, 9, the "Benghazi incident" that caused a global sensation was behind the hands and feet of this private equity fund.

I think of the ambassador who died in Libya and the burning consulate, as well as the GRS team members who disappeared for 6 hours and the surrounding US troops;

Yang Zhu smiled even more cheerfully. Although he didn’t know who the big boss behind this private fund was, with his joining, it seemed that things might become more interesting...

Lin Tu, who was sitting opposite, stared at Yang Zhu with some curiosity;
What's wrong with Mr. Yang?
Why is she laughing so obscenely, and... lasciviously?
Could it be that they have come up with some new tricks to deceive people?
Thinking of this, Prince Lin always felt a little chilly on his body, and kept thinking of Ami Tofu in his heart,

A dead fellow Daoist is not a poor fellow, I just hope that Daddy Yang doesn't plan to trick me...
