Chapter 163

This day.

When Zhuke, as the producer of memory fragment, was discussing the next shooting plan with the director Christopher Nolan, he received a phone call from CEO Victor by accident.

"What?"

Zhuke slightly surprised: "Carlos foundation, I know that Mexican Carlos foundation?"

"Yes, that's it."

There's a call from Victor on the phone.

Zhuke frowned and pondered, "well, you come here and we'll have a direct interview."

"OK, boss."

The boss asked you to come, even if you are the CEO of the company, can you refuse?

And it's urgent.

Hang up.

"Boss, did something happen?" Christopher Nolan.

Zhuke didn't hide it at the moment, but said directly: "it was a little accident. Carlos Slim, the telecom tycoon in Mexico, you should have heard of that? "

"Of course!"

Christopher Nolan blurted out: "Mexico is the richest man in the country and the richest man in the world. How can I not know him?"

Indeed, if you don't know Carlos Slim all over the world, especially in America, it means that you are really ignorant.

He's the biggest shareholder in Mexico Telecom!

He is also the chief executive officer of Telecom Americana in Mexico, and holds the Carlso group in Mexico, with business networks all over the world.

At present, he is only the richest man in Mexico!

However

In the future, especially in July 2008, Carlos Slim's total personal assets will reach 59 billion US dollars, surpassing Bill Gates's 58 billion US dollars and becoming the richest man in the world;

In 2009 and 2010, in a short period of two years, his personal assets increased by 12 billion US dollars again, with the title of "earning 2.28 million US dollars per hour";

In the next few years, although he lost the title of "the richest man in the world", he always ranked in the top ten on the Forbes Global rich list;

The lowest ranking is April 2020, only 11th!

Carlos Slim, also known as Carlos Slim ELU, is undoubtedly a real strong economic man.

This time, Carlos foundation, which contacted Golden Dawn entertainment group, is Carlos Slim's family foundation.

.......

It didn't take long.

CEO Victor rushed to Zhuke from his parent company, Golden Dawn entertainment group, and told the Carlos foundation in detail.

It turned out that this morning, Victor, who started his work as usual, received an application for appointment.

The applicant is from Mexico Carlos foundation representative of the United States - Rio slim!

Rio slim, the eldest grandson of Carlos Slim, Mexico's richest man and telecom tycoon, is the fifth in line successor of the slim family.

How can the arrival of the eldest grandson of such a strong economic man be ignored?

"Victor, you mean, Rio, he's going to take part in two new films, Sparta 300 and memory fragments, right?" Asked Zucker again.

"Yes, boss."

Victor solemnly said: "I am optimistic about his application. After all, his family has extremely terrible influence in Mexico, as well as in Central America, South America and even the whole world, which will greatly promote our global distribution network."

Zucker nodded.

In fact, it is reasonable to say that according to the character of Zhuke's "eating alone", he does not like or even exclude others from participating in his own films.

——No one is going to make my money!

——No one is going to share my money!

This is the consistent principle of Zhuke. Even if he makes less money, it doesn't matter.

What's more, I know that movies are definitely profitable. Why should I give them to others?

But!

But now it's something different when it comes to the Carlos foundation.

As we all know, to establish a perfect global distribution network, we need not only huge financial investment, but also relevant policy support from overseas countries and regions, and the support of some people with strong political background.

"You want to establish distribution channels in our country, yes, but you have to apply!"

"It takes a lot of time to apply and approve. You have to wait!"

This is what many overseas government officials often say. They welcome you to their country or region, but in fact, it's very difficult!

In the process of examination and approval, what can you do in a few years?

A few years later, I may tell you that "because of so and so problem, you are not qualified to apply.". You may be half angry. Years of hard work and hard work have wasted all your manpower, material resources and financial resources.

Most of the countries in the world are exclusive;

Moreover, if you set up a film distribution network in their country or region, it is bound to move the cake of some interest groups.

That's the key.

Why do people give you the cake?

Even the six giants, such as Hollywood, will choose to cooperate and compromise with local interest groups in overseas countries at the beginning of establishing a global distribution network.

"Boss, behind the Carlos foundation, is Telecom tycoon Carlos Slim. Once his grandson Rio shares in our new film, there will be no guarantee in other places, but we will establish a film distribution network in Mexico, which will be unimpeded. "

"This is a golden opportunity!"

In the following time, CEO Victor constantly persuaded Zhuke to agree to cooperate with Carlos foundation.

How can Zhuke decide?

Yes, of course!

This involves the layout of Wald pictures' overseas distribution network in the global market!

In Mexico, is there anyone more powerful than Carlos Slim in terms of economic and political background?

No,

None of them!

In terms of economic background, Carlos Slim is the richest man in Mexico, monopolizing 90% of the Mexican telecom market and 60% of the telecom market share in central and South America;

As for the political background?

ha-ha!

In Latin American countries like Mexico, it seems to be a compulsory course for entrepreneurs to have good relations with government officials.

It's not hard for a smart businessman like Carlos. In fact, he has always had a close relationship with senior officials in the Mexican government. For a long time, he had a keen sense of business and the subtle development of politics.

In the 1990s, Carlos and Mexican President Carlos Salinas degotari had a good friendship;

In 2006, Calderon, with the support of Carlos, successfully ascended the presidency;

"It's a pleasure for Zhuke to get in touch with such a strong man with a strong economic and political background. Even if he only gets in touch with his eldest grandson, it's also very rare."

However, even if Zhuke agrees to their participation in the two films, there must be some means.

For example, the shooting cost of "memory fragments" was raised from 5 million US dollars to 12 million US dollars; The production cost of 300 warriors of Sparta was increased by US $80 million from US $60 million.

Remember, it's just a cost increase on the books. In fact, the actual cost of spending has not increased. Fake. Sometimes it's easy.

That's the rule of the Hollywood layman's game.

Spielberg's DreamWorks often uses this method of increasing paper costs to make a big dent in the investment groups of India and South Korea.

"The first watch" is presented.
