I’m in Hollywood - Chapter 382

[Chapter 379 Final Income]

“There is so much money that it turns out to be really numbing,” in the office of Chris of Firefly Investment Company, Chris sorted out the last futures delivery slip, raised his head and sighed to Eric.

In July, because of the sudden operation of a huge sum of up to 700 million US dollars, Chris did not rest for a whole month, and was worried all day long that the money would be lost, but since the outbreak of the Kuwait war in August, Watching the funds in the futures account soaring day by day, Chris didn’t feel much.

Eric was sitting on the sofa, holding a statistical report in his hand, looking at the profit data on it and said: “Some people say that wealth becomes just a number when it reaches a certain level, but I think it is too hypocritical to say that. Huge wealth also means huge power and detached social status, and you can enjoy social resources that are difficult for ordinary people to reach. Rich people are precisely because they can appreciate the huge energy brought by wealth, so so many people will I spend my

whole life endlessly pursuing more wealth.”

Chris smiled and shook his head: “Eric, if I don’t look at your face many times, I always feel like I’m following a hole. The middle-aged people of Ming Shishi are talking.”

Eric touched his smooth cheeks, and also smiled: “It seems that I should try to grow a beard, which can make me look more mature, but they are not too Love the way I have a beard, I’ve been complained more than once for forgetting to shave.”

“Wow, they!” Chris emphasized the latter word, even though ‘they’ and ‘them’ are the same word in English , but it is easy to hear the direction of his words from Eric’s tone: “I really don’t know how you deal with so many women, I can’t even handle Emily alone.”

“This shows that Emily is very Lucky. She met a good man,” Eric said complimentingly. Chris and Jeffrey have similar personalities, and are as cautious as Jeffrey in their relationship with Emily Bly. To fall in love is to get married.

Emily Brighton is clearly aware of this.

Although they didn’t get along many times, Eric also found that Emily cherished the relationship between the two.

However, Eric also found that Chris and Emily are both very strong people. If the two are to be together for a long time, one must accommodate the other, just like Jeffrey and his deceased wife. That way.

It can be seen from the bits and pieces of Jeffrey’s past memories that Jeffrey has always been in the position of defender in his marriage with his wife.

“Thank you, Eric, let’s talk about the things at hand. What are you going to do with this money?”

Eric took another look at the figures on the statistical report, 3.675 billion, which is excluding various commissions and After the handling fee, the final profit after deducting the principal, as a kind of speculative transaction, the handling fee of futures trading already includes various taxes, so this money belongs to Eric completely,

even without paying a high amount personal income tax.

This is also the point that excites Eric the most.

Otherwise, although the money is easy to come by, the deduction of personal income tax of up to 35% may still drive popularity crazy.

“It’s still not enough. Many things in the plan could not be implemented. I originally thought that since the price of crude oil has doubled, then after ten times the leverage, I can at least double the profit. I didn’t expect that it was only half of what I imagined.”

“If it weren’t for us entering the market a lot earlier and an opponent taking the order. Not to mention five times the principal at the time, even half of the principal may not be earned. Don’t look at the price of crude oil futures doubled in the past two months. , but people who enter the market after August can earn more than double the principal and wake up with laughter. Futures are different from stocks after all. Futures are a kind of gambling contract. Not many people would be stupid enough to go short in the short term.”

“Of course I understand, I just sighed, it seems that we can only go short again when the war is over.”

Chris looked at Eric speechlessly: “You still Really greedy, if a person can seize such an opportunity in his life, he is already at the level of being kissed by the goddess of luck. Many people know that when the war is over, the price of crude oil will definitely drop, but now the war has not started, who can predict When will the war end? The Korean War and the Vietnam War have been fought for several years before, and most people speculate that this war will last a few years.”

Eric smiled confidently. This expression was just caught by Chris. Remembering that Eric was obsessed with thinking that a war would break out in the Middle East a few months ago, Chris suddenly thought of another possibility and couldn’t help but come over. , asked curiously: “Eric, don’t you have any hunch this time?”

“Almost, but it’s not a hunch, but I guessed it based on reality. I don’t think this war will ever be fought again. The wars decades ago were as protracted. If you pay attention to the relevant news, you can find that this war will be a high-tech war, and the human sea tactics of decades ago will not work. It

‘s too big to have any effect.”

“Of course I’ve read a lot of materials, but I haven’t found what you said about ‘high-tech war’. Forget it, UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com doesn’t talk about this issue, even if it’s like you said, But this kind of war is definitely not a day or two, and we should have enough time to plan. Let’s talk about this money, what do you mean by saying that it is not enough?”

“Last year, Sony acquired Columbia for five More than one billion, more than a month ago, Japan’s Panasonic consortium acquired Universal Pictures’ parent company and spent six billion, and now I only have more than three billion dollars, of course not enough.”

Chris understood as soon as he heard it .

Eric’s ambitions, and asked, “Are you going to buy a big film company?”

“Of course, that’s why I said that the money is far from enough. Now, it is estimated that the acquisition of any big film company will be no less than that. $5 billion.”

“If you want MGM, Kirk Kerkorian would be happy to sell it to you for $1.5 billion,” Chris joked.

Thinking of MGM’s current situation, a mocking smile appeared on the corner of Eric’s mouth: “I don’t take garbage, MGM has been trashed by that casino tycoon, and more than half of the film library has been scraped away, distribution channels It has shrunk dramatically, the company has no valuable serial film rights, and even the property has been used by the tycoon to do the hotel business, I can’t think of any value for MGM.” (To be continued)
