Rebirth In Hollywood

Holding the little girl with a volleyball in his arms, Ryan walked out of the banquet hall where the charity dinner was held, and walked towards the parking lot. After being reminded by the director of Paramount, he had already thought of who the young couple were.

This is just a dispute of loyalty between the little girls, Ryan didn't take it to heart at all, presumably, as long as it is a normal person, it will laugh it off, no matter how arrogant Larry Ellison is, he will not teach his children Be a real mad fool.

But what Ryan didn't expect was that he was stopped by someone as soon as he walked out of the banquet hall.

"Mr. Jenkins, if you have time, can we talk?"

The young man who spoke was at most sixteen years old, and the long-faced girl next to him was the one who was fighting for volleyball with Taylor.

The two girls were staring at each other, looking like they wanted to kill each other with their eyes.

"Alison, what about your etiquette?"

Ryan pulled Taylor, and the little guy looked away, his nose almost wrinkled to the sky.

"Let me introduce myself, I'm David Ellison and this is my sister Megan Ellison."

Gently shaking the other party's hand, Ryan nodded, "Then find a place."

In his previous life, although David Ellison was a well-known bully in Hollywood, it didn't make any sense to Ryan, and he wasn't one of those pornographic filmmakers who couldn't find investment.

Entering the lounge near the banquet hall, Ryan sat opposite the brother and sister who had a toothache that Hollywood producers hated in their previous lives, sipping coffee quietly, thinking what could they say later?

"Mr. Jenkins..."

"Call me Ryan." After all, he was not a few years older than the other party.

"Okay, Ryan." David Ellison seemed to be trying to put on his father's air, but he couldn't hide his immaturity, "I know your time is precious, so just say it. "

"Hmm~" Ryan made a gesture of invitation.

"I want to participate in the investment of the Harry Potter series, money..." David Ellison was really learning from his mad dad, "It's not a problem!"

"Sorry, I'm not short of money."

What a joke, he's working with Warner.

Because it can be a win-win situation, what are the benefits of accepting their investment? Let them make money for nothing?

Oracle is great, but its influence is still in IT-related industries. Why should I distribute benefits to them. Just because their surname is Ellison? Just because they have a crazy rich dad? Maybe they have some influence in the media, but can they compare to people in the circle like him and Time Warner?

Sometimes interlacing like a mountain is not just talking.

"Why... why?" David Ellison probably never thought that Ryan would refuse so simply.

"I'm not short of money."

Ryan secretly patted Taylor's hand, and the little girl yawned tacitly, "Ryan, I want to go home and sleep."

"Well..." Ryan just nodded, and David Ellison spoke again, "Megan and I like movies very much..."

"David, you don't mind if I call you that? Thank you." Ryan shook his head and said directly, "I don't lack Harry Potter's investment. What kind of benefits this series can bring, I know better than anyone else." To be clear, also, liking movies and investing in them are two different things.”

With that said, he stood up. Finally, he said, "Also, give me a thank you to Mr. Larry Ellison for his private island!"

The filming of "Jurassic Park 2" was the rental of Larry Ellison's private island, but it was a rental with a clear price and had nothing to do with human feelings.

As they got into the car, Ryan recalled more about the siblings. Although they were jokingly called Hollywood's biggest bully in the early stage, they developed quite smoothly later on, and as David Ellison said, they are indeed people who really like movies.

But so what, there are so many people who really like movies, he can't just ask anyone to come to him. Just share your interests with them, right?

Besides, their appearance is the boon of Japanese movies, but they are the public enemies of major Hollywood studios.

Unfortunately, Ryan is becoming a representative of the interests of several major studio alliances, and they are naturally not on the same side.

It has nothing to do with their crazy dad. It doesn't matter what Megan Ellison and Taylor's fight is about tonight, it's only about profit.

It seems that after entering the new century, Paramount was in a financial crisis. David Ellison forced Paramount to agree with him to give priority to investing in Paramount's film projects, such as "Mission: Impossible" and "Special" on the condition of providing financial support. The Force, Star Trek, Transformers, etc., have brought him huge returns.

Unfortunately, now that Hollywood has its own, even if the economic crisis comes, Paramount will not be able to save it.

Ryan didn't know if David Ellison came out to invest in the movie and Larry Ellison would know about it, but with that madman's character, even if his son squandered the money, he probably wouldn't discipline him much.

Shaking his head, he let go of these messy thoughts, anyway, he will never have any intersection with Oracle in the future.

"Ryan, are you going to London tomorrow?" The little girl looked at him with sparkling eyes.

"Yes, my dear." Ryan rubbed her blond hair, "The crew of Harry Potter has passed, and the audition for actors is about to officially begin."

In a blink of an eye, 1999 has arrived, and the new century is about to come.

"Can you take me with you?" Taylor asked expectantly.

"I'm going to work, so I don't have time to play with you." Seeing the little girl drooping her head, Ryan sighed, "Well, honey, when the filming starts, I will definitely take you there to play."

"Alright then." The little girl who had just passed her ninth birthday was obviously much more sensible.

The RV parked directly in front of a luxurious villa. This is the Swift family's new home, which is several times larger than before. Scott Swift has served as Ryan and Nicole's investment agent for these years People, as well as the dividends from Jenkins Films, as well as the investment he took care of, made enough money.

Taylor pushed open the car door, jumped off and ran into the villa. Ryan, who was following behind, clearly heard her show off, "Look, Austin, this is Mr. Wilson, my New Year's gift!"

"You have so many dolls, and you never give them to me." The little boy with blond hair looked a little weak when facing his sister.

"Those are all limited editions, do you understand, Austin?" Taylor opened his royal blue eyes, "You lost all the ones I gave you before, and they are all limited editions, outside Can't buy it!"

After greeting the Swift couple, Ryan walked up to the little boy, "Hi, Austin, you've grown taller than last time."

"I will be bullied by my sister even if I grow taller." The little boy murmured.

"Hey, Austin, how can you say that." Taylor immediately became dissatisfied, "Don't forget, when the sisters Lina from the neighbor's house bullied you last time, I was the one who drove them away."

"But you are a sister, this is what you should do."

After rubbing the heads of the two little guys, Ryan and Scott walked into the study room. Mrs. Andrea brought black tea and closed the door tightly for them when they left.

"How is the stock market now?" After drinking the lipstick tea, Ryan put down the teacup.

"Crazy." Scott frowned, "It's unbelievably crazy."

"Don't you think this kind of madness is not normal?" Ryan reminded.

"It's very abnormal." Scott was originally a good investor. With more and more funds in his charge over the years, he has long become the most well-informed group of people on Wall Street, "but the vast majority of investors are The skyrocketing index has led to frenzy, the entire market looks extremely prosperous, and some people say that the spring of America has arrived.”

People are always blinded by interests, and how many people can get rid of greed.

Why are it stocks so crazy? Although there is a relationship between the rapid development of computers and the Internet, some people's behind-the-scenes promotion is also inseparable, and even the person who promotes it may not know when it will collapse, Ryan does not want to take risks, "Scott, from After the Oscars, I planned to throw away the IT stocks in my hands."

"All?" Scott was obviously taken aback, that was an amazing fortune.

What Ryan is referring to is not Pixar Studios and other holding companies, but the tradable stocks of Microsoft, Dell, Apple and other IT companies that have been successively acquired since the early 1990s. In addition, there are also a large number of Cisco's shares.

Unlike other IT companies, Cisco only went public in 1990, and it was not very impressive when it first went public. Scott bought a considerable amount of shares with the working capital that Ryan and Nicole could provide at that time.

"Retain a small amount of shares in Yahoo, as long as you have a voice on the board of directors, the rest, including Cisco, will be sold before the end of the year."

After so many years, Ryan is no longer a financial idiot. If he waits until next year to sell it, it will be too late. Although none of the shares in Microsoft and other IT companies he holds exceeds 5%-more than 5% must be in Report to the China Securities Regulatory Commission-but throwing it into the stock market in a short period of time may lead to an early crash.

Ryan had a general impression, as if the precursor to the crash in the previous life was a large sell-off of Microsoft stocks.

The Cisco shares in his hand exceeded 10%. For such a quantity, the best way is to contact other buyers to transfer, and the best target is the members of Cisco's board of directors. All these will take time.

"Ryan, you mean the stock market is going to crash next year?"

"No, no, no." Ryan shook his head, "Scott, I'm not even a layman in this regard, but it's definitely not normal for the stock market to go up like this, and it's impossible to tell when it will happen. Disaster. Think about it, how much money did we invest at the beginning? How much money can we earn back by transferring the stock now? At least ten times the profit, right? This money is enough for us to do more things.”

"Greed is an original sin." Scott was still sober.

"Greed will lead to unpredictable consequences." Ryan sighed long, "We have earned enough, it is not worth the risk."

"That's the truth."

It's easy to say this, but there are a few people who can do it, Scott nodded, "Leave it to me." ()
