Chapter 439

December 23.

This day is only one day away from Christmas Eve;

Christmas is only two days away.

That night.

Zucker and his girlfriend Adriana Lima dressed up to attend a reception hosted by Rio slim, the fifth in line successor of Mexico's richest family Carlos family and Zucker's partner.

"Hi, chuck, long time no see!"

As soon as Zhuk and Lima arrived at the reception, they were warmly welcomed by the host of the venue, riyol slim.

"Same! My friend, I heard that you are going to leave Los Angeles, and I am very reluctant to give up! " Zucker is also very enthusiastic.

While saying this, Zhuke also introduced his girlfriend Lima.

"Ha ha ha, I know. Adriana Lima, a very charming Vermeer angel. To be honest, I think it's a huge loss for the whole world for her to leave the runway. " Rio laughed.

Smell speech, Zhu Ke not good angry ground looked at him one eye.

Models?

Ah, it's all tears!

The modeling industry is more chaotic than the entertainment industry. Although Zhuke has no sense of class, he is also a rich man with more than ten billion dollars. If Lima wants to be with Zucker, he will have to give up modeling.

This is for sure, not negotiable!

"Rio, my friend, you left Los Angeles before Christmas Eve and went back to Mexico. Are you going to come back again?" Asked Zucker.

"My friend, I will be in Mexico in the next three to five years," Rio said solemnly

Zhuke nodded, knowing.

Big family troubles!

Rio slim is the eldest grandson of Mexico's richest man Carlos Slim. He is the fifth in line successor, not the only heir. Naturally, the huge family wealth is very fierce.

Zhuke, who started from scratch, naturally did not have this kind of trouble.

However!

Riyol's departure from Los Angeles is bound to be a big loss for Zhuke.

Since 1997, Rio de Janeiro, on behalf of the Carlos family foundation, has invested in nine films, including "memory fragments", "Sparta 300 warriors", "Spider Man" and so on.

The total investment amount shall not be less than US $130 million.

There is no doubt that he is one of the gold owners of vold pictures, a subsidiary of Zucker.

"My friend, once you leave, how can I find a friend as generous as you in the future?" Cried juke.

"Ha ha ha ~"

Rio said with a laugh: "you are really obsessed with my money. However, you can rest assured that even if I leave Los Angeles, I will continue to invest in Wald films. "

For that matter, Zhuk understood.

Prior to that, riyol invested in Zucker's films with family funds rather than personal wealth.

But... It will be different in the future.

As the saying goes, tea is cool when people go.

Rio left Los Angeles, naturally unable to control Carlos Foundation's property in the United States again, but this does not prevent him from investing in Zucker's films again in his own name.

Over the years, Rio's investment in Zucker's films on behalf of the family foundation has made a lot of money.

The Carlos foundation, where Rio is based, has made a net profit of no less than $50 million for the three films of "Sparta 300", "Spider Man" and "Harry Potter".

"I have to say that although you are stingy, your business integrity is guaranteed. I can trust you very much to cooperate with you." Riyol said again.

"Of course." Chuckles.

When it comes to business integrity, Zhuke is absolutely well-known.

Just for this point, Zuckerberg of DreamWorks group is not much better!

Although all kinds of external capital are flocking to Hollywood now, they are no longer willing to believe in Hollywood's integrity with the experience of being cheated more. After the subprime mortgage crisis in 2008, it will be very difficult for Hollywood film companies to raise funds.

Zhuke plays the signboard of integrity in advance. Once it needs to raise funds, it will become relatively easy.

"If there is no foresight, there must be immediate worries!" He sighed.

........

At the whole reception, Rio is absolutely the protagonist of Tuotuo, warmly welcomed by all guests.

In the same way, Zucker is very popular.

"Mr. Wald, you are really young and promising."

"No! Mr. Wald and miss Lima are made for each other. "

"Mr. Wald's investment vision is absolutely the best. Not to mention more than just the crisis caused by the Internet bubble, Mr. Wald is one of the few people who can get away in time.

"Isn't that nonsense? In my opinion, the most powerful part of Mr. ward is still making Hollywood movies, especially the recent Harry Potter movies. My God, it's absolutely a genius idea to create a hundred billion dollar market industry chain

........

With the praise of company executives and billionaires, Rao is used to the big show, and he can't hold it for a while.

"Why?"

Suddenly, Zhuke found a very interesting person in the group.

——Jeffrey Skilling!

He is a senior executive of Enron energy, one of the largest energy companies in North America, and not long ago, he was appointed the next CEO of Enron.

Enron energy, one of the largest energy, goods and services companies in North America, has a market value of more than 100 billion US dollars. Not long ago, Enron energy was listed as the seventh of the "top 500 American enterprises" by Fortune magazine,

However

At the end of 2001, Enron applied to the New York Bankruptcy Court for bankruptcy protection, which became the second largest bankruptcy case in American history.

Enron, with a market value of 100 billion, collapsed suddenly!

Zucker did not know the cause of the Enron incident very well, but he clearly remembered that the person who was finally tried in the Enron case was Jeffrey Skilling.

After trial, Skilling, 52, was sentenced to 24 years in prison and fined $18 million. At the same time, skilling will recover as much as 180 million dollars of wealth stolen from Enron.

"Tut tut ~"

Zhuke looked at skilling with a bright smile in front of him and thought to himself, "Enron incident is definitely a lucrative opportunity."

An enterprise with a market value of 100 billion will collapse abruptly, and the huge wealth brewing in it will definitely make anyone flock to it.

"Ah ~"

"It's a pity that I didn't work in finance in my last life. I only had a very vague idea about the Enron incident. I didn't know the specific cause and process at all."

"If you can know more information, you can definitely make a lot of money from it."

For a moment, Zhuke could not help but feel some regret.

However, at this time, Zhu suddenly heard a long lost voice.

"Ding Dong!"

Congratulations to the host for a future tip

Zucker was immediately overjoyed: "it can't be about Enron."

However, the result let Zhuke disappointed, this message is not about Enron.

The second watch is on.
