Reborn Nobility

Chapter 408 Too much money and no place to spend it

Xia Xiaoluo has two purposes for coming to the United States this time. On the one hand, he is to meet with the heads of major financial institutions to form a close alliance, act in a unified manner, and short-sell the pound on a larger scale. Previously, since September, short-selling of the pound has been

The crisis was already in full swing, and the Bank of England was in danger. However, Xia Xiaoluo knew that it would not be a complete victory until the last moment. Moreover, the trajectory of the world had been partly changed by himself, and he could not completely rest assured. Therefore, he met with various

The significance of leaders of large financial institutions is very important.

On the other hand, Xia Xiaoluo plans to enter the music, film and television entertainment industry, and wants to build a large film and television entertainment empire by relying on the memory of the movie names on the box office list. Therefore, he wants to meet those talented directors in Hollywood. Of course, they

What Xia Xiaoluo appreciates even more is their commercial value.

Rockefeller Center not only has office buildings, but also hotels and various leisure and entertainment centers, and all kinds of facilities are equally complete. Therefore, Xia Xiaoluo and Hu Shuwen had a simple meeting and went to the Rockefeller Center Hotel to open a few rooms. The group of people

Let's take a short rest first. On the way to send Xia Xiaoluo to the hotel, Hu Shuwen asked Xia Xiaoluo with a wicked smile, "Do you want to share a room with Chu Xiuhan?"

The evil smile on her face revealed the nature of her heavy-tasting fujoshi, leaving Xia Xiaoluo speechless. It was difficult for him to reconcile the beauty in front of him with a woman who could be called a top-notch beauty and a woman who controlled tens of billions of dollars in assets.

Contact the General Manager of Hand of God.

It was not until three o'clock in the afternoon that Xia Xiaoluo woke up from his sleep. Without waking anyone else, he came alone to the "Hand of God" hedge fund headquarters on the 33rd floor of Rockefeller Center.

"Mr. Xia, here is your itinerary for the past few days." Eric took out a thick stack of documents and said to Xia Xiaoluo in the reception room.

Hu Shuwen personally helped Xia Xiaoluo make a cup of green tea and served it to him.

"Why is it so thick?" Xia Xiaoluo was a little surprised. "I remember that there were only six or seven people I named to see?"

He opened the file, and damn, he found a lot of words he didn't know. Although in college, Xia Xiaoluo also passed CET-6 without cheating, but when faced with such professional business English, he found that there were still a lot of words.

Not knowing him, he handed the document to Hu Shuwen and said, "Please help me take a look."

Hu Shuwen picked up the document and looked through it. He smiled and said: "There are only six or seven people, but they are still big shots in Hollywood. Do you want to have a big development in the film industry?"

"I'm still a student, what's the point of talking about development? It's just that I have too much money and no place to spend it, so I just find a few money-burning projects to throw some money at." Xia Xiaoluo said with a joking look on his face.

Of course, Xia Xiaoluo had his reasons for entering the film and television entertainment industry. Whether it was from a "business" or "political" perspective, he was justified and even a little "noble", but he didn't want to talk about it every day.

, especially when facing Hu Shuwen, who is a monster and has an unorthodox look on his face, you cannot appear noble, otherwise, you will appear hypocritical.

Eric has been cooperating with Hu Shuwen for some time. When Hu Shuwen was doing oil futures in London, England, he had already joined Hu Shuwen's team, so he also knew a little bit about Chinese. After listening to Xia Xiaoluo's words

, he was stunned. Hua Xia

When did people become so rich and only come here to spend money? In the 1970s, Japan's economy was outstanding, its manufacturing industry was marketed around the world, and it was invincible. The United States could only parry, and the Detroit automobile industry suffered heavy losses. After the Plaza Accord, wealthy people

Popular in Japan

Coming in force, they spread money all over the United States and acquired a large number of American companies. Mitsubishi even bought Rockefeller Center, a symbol of the American spirit, and Sony purchased Columbia Pictures. The Japanese media claimed that they would "turn the United States into

"Japan's 41st Prefecture". As a result, Japan has formed a serious asset bubble due to the appreciation of the yen, and now it has entered a period of recession. Those American assets were sold to Americans at a discount. Now the Japanese cannot protect themselves. Could it be that now?

Is it the turn of the Chinese to come to the United States to be the saviors?

However, he hoped that Xia Xiaoluo could actually negotiate a few deals. He did not enter the core decision-making level at Hand of God Hedge Fund, or even join the trading team, but was engaged in administrative work with a much lower technical content.

.If Xia Xiaoluo achieves something during his trip to the United States, it will definitely impress Hu Shuwen. This will be a highlight in his career.

Hu Shuwen looked through it and said: "Yes, there are seven people. However, Eric is very careful. The background of these companies, the background of the industry, and the information about the people you want to meet are all in it, including him.

Personality, behavior style, preferences, etc.”

"Well," Xia Xiaoluo said he was very satisfied, but he didn't care about these so-called important information. He came here to spend money, and there was no need to speculate on other people's preferences. Those people are all very important people now or in the future.

That's right, but in the United States, it is a society where money is everything. There are no upstarts or nobility here, only money of equal value. As long as he has more money, he doesn't feel the need to please others. "Then, you put

Read me the itinerary."

Hu Shuwen and Xia Xiaoluo's affirmation made Eric feel very comfortable and even a little excited. He pulled his tie a little further and spoke quickly: "Tomorrow at nine o'clock in the morning, go to the Hollywood Paramount to meet Mr. Martin Davis.

;Go to Burbank to meet with Warner Bros. in the afternoon..."

"Burbank? Where is Burbank? Isn't Warner in Los Angeles?"

In Xia Xiaoluo's poor knowledge of the film industry, there is no information about Burbank at all. This strange place name is so unfamiliar. Of course, this guy is familiar with Muto Lan Aoi and the like. In Xia Xiaoluo's impression,

All six famous film companies should be in Hollywood.

Eric chuckled and said: "Mr. Xia Xiaoluo's question is normal. Most foreigners think that Hollywood is where all the film companies in the United States are located. In fact, this is not the case. On the contrary, most of the film companies have moved away now.

Hollywood has even moved out of Los Angeles because the taxes in Los Angeles are too high, especially the fees for filming in public places, which are astronomical compared to other states."

It seems that Lawyer Eric has been supplementing the knowledge he should master for Xia Xiaoluo in the past few days, and he talks about things in the film industry with great clarity.

"Warner Brothers moved away from Hollywood as early as the 1930s, but they didn't move far. Burbank is north of Los Angeles, less than 20 minutes' drive away. And Paramount is the only one among the six major film companies.

The old large-scale studios that remain in Hollywood." Eric's tone was a bit sighing, as if he was lamenting the prosperous scene of Hollywood in the past.

Xia Xiaoluo then had some understanding of the real Hollywood: "Thank you for your explanation, Mr. Eric. I think we will go according to the plan you arranged. Have you made appointments with all these people?"

"You should not doubt the professionalism of Eric, the administrative director of God's Hand, sir." Eric replied seriously.

Xia Xiaoluo chuckled: "Sorry, I just asked casually, not to doubt you." He pointed to the simple description on the last page, and the names on it were very familiar to him: "You are sure you can come to these two people.

See me?"

Eric looked at it with a smile on his face: "Mr. Xia Xiaoluo, although I don't understand why you are interested in these two engineers, it is my professional principle to provide the best service to customers. But I

I feel obligated to remind you that Mike Mowaimi and Alan Adham founded a company with a very strange name in February."

Eric tried hard to remember, but he still couldn't remember the weird name. Xia Xiaoluo said: "silicon & synapse."

"Yes, it's called silicon and synapse. What the hell is this synapse?" Eric vented in frustration. "It seems that Mr. Xia Xiaoluo has some understanding of what these two engineers have done, but

According to recent credit records, the financial situation of this Silicon and Synapse company is in shambles, and even the wages of its employees are unsustainable. As far as I know, last month Mike Mowaimi and Alan Adham were involved in the fraud.

We barely paid our employees’ wages by using credit cards and cash.”

"Thank you, I understand. Can these two gentlemen come here to meet me on time in five days..." Xia Xiaoluo calculated the time: "Will you come here on time in five days?"

"No problem." Eric replied decisively. Will those two poor guys come to see this rich gentleman? It is simply an international joke. He only needs to think about it when those two down-and-out engineers hear that someone is going to give him money.

The joy they felt when investing in their damn Silicon and Synapse company

Looking crazy, I am 10,000% confident that I can get this cheap acquisition. Well, the amount will definitely not be big. How much money will it take to acquire a small company with only a dozen employees that is unsustainable after just four months of operation?

Down? Two hundred thousand dollars? Or three hundred thousand? Or even a hundred thousand?

Eric didn't value this company, but since the investor wanted to do it, he could only do his best to get this thing done, even though he really couldn't see what was worth acquiring about this small company.

"Yeah, not bad." Xia Xiaoluo nodded.

"By the way. I'm afraid you will have to eat with Mr. Soros at today's dinner. Now, he can't wait to see you." Hu Shuwen stared at the computer screen, suddenly turned his head and said to Xia Xiaoluo.
