Chapter 148

The FBI sent two investigators in charge of economic cases, a man and a woman. The man's name is Anthony and the woman's name is Julianne.

"Mr. Walker, thank you for your cooperation. According to our investigation, you have received nearly $7 billion in income from the stock market and futures market this year!"

After a simple greeting, Tang En sat opposite the two investigators and started a routine exchange.

Anthony's remarks focused on "$7 billion", the subject of this investigation, which came out on paper.

Julianne is a woman in her forties. She looks very mild. She smiled and said, "Mr. Walker, if you have anything to hide, you can wait for the lawyer to come over and we will talk. It's okay, we can wait."

It sounds like he's helping Tang En, but it's actually fanning the flames. If Tang En delays, doesn't it prove that he really has something to hide?

Tang En held a cup of coffee, took a sip, and couldn't see any nervousness, "I don't know about the law, but it's interesting to talk about the process. Oh, by the way, it's not 7 billion US dollars, after tax, the total It's $5.58 billion, and that includes the $80 million I got from the original Titanic dividend."

Anthony smiled and said, "Yes, only the shared success is called an achievement."

Julianne also complimented, ""Titanic" is my favorite movie, Mr. Walker, you have made Dianlin Clams!"

Tang En waved his hand, "Let's talk about work, you know, I'm really busy, I was still investigating at Marvel just now."

Anthony's face was solemn, he took out a document from his briefcase and handed it to Dunn, "Mr. Walker, according to our investigation, you dropped out of school in your second year of high school and did not learn any financial knowledge at all. ."

Dunn took a look at the document and was a little annoyed.

The fbi has investigated all his experiences from birth to the present, and even the fact that he was arrested at the police station for stealing at the age of 14 has been recorded in detail.

Many past experiences, even Dunn himself did not know.

Tang En threw the "resume" on the table with a calm face, "That's true."

Julianne leaned forward slightly, stared at Tang En tightly, as if to see through him, and asked, "Since you don't know anything about finance, why do you dare to invest so much money in the stock market and futures market?"

Dunn smiled suddenly, "Why not? You all know my experience. To shoot "Spider-Man", I borrowed 150 million US dollars and almost went bankrupt! The reason is very simple, I have the courage to do big things."

Julianne frowned, "Mr. Walker, please answer my question head-on. I'm asking about economics, not movies."

Tang En spread his hands, "This is the most positive answer. I don't understand economics, so can't I invest in stocks? I dropped out of high school in the second year of high school, and I haven't studied film yet, so I've also become one of Hollywood's leading directors?"

Anthony's tone was a little heavy, "Mr. Walker, this is different. You worked as an assistant on the set for two years and dealt with movies every day. Even if you didn't learn professional theoretical knowledge, you did not lack understanding of movies. But the stock market is different. Don't say you are a layman who doesn't understand the economy, even Wall Street experts can't accurately grasp the market trend."

"I can't either, it's just luck." Tang En shrugged lightly.

"Mr Walker, luck is no excuse!"

Tang En felt a little helpless, and said, "What exactly do you want to ask? Whether it's stocks or movies, you should be able to see that I'm this kind of Xingge who dares to fight and fight, and I want to buy a TV station now. , Entering the TV industry, do you think that mirroring the TV industry market?"

Julianne said: "Mr. Walker, this is a serious investigation, please answer directly, don't make analogies, and don't question our professionalism."

"Okay, I'll answer directly, you can ask." Tang En crossed Erlang's legs, folded his arms, and looked at the two opposite.

"Why did you choose to buy Yahoo stock in the first place?"

"Because Yahoo is doing well."

"Why did you choose to sell at the beginning of the year?"

"Because at the beginning of 1999, Yahoo had a rise and fall. I was not greedy, so I sold it in time. As you can see, I was cautious and helped me make a lot of money."

Anthony and Julianne looked at each other and shook their heads.

Dunn is not greedy? cautious?

It's a big joke!

If he were more generous, more respectful, and more careful, he wouldn't be in trouble with the two giants of Disney and Fox now.

"The draft of Yahoo's stock has indeed proved that you have a good eye for cesium." Julianne paused and changed her voice, "But, Mr. Walker, why did you choose to short Yahoo after selling Yahoo's stock for a month? "

Anthony added, "Not only Yahoo, but also high-tech companies such as Cisco, Apple, Microsoft, Dell, AOL, etc. At that time, it was March, and it was the hottest high-tech stocks, which were bought by all investors and securities institutions. when."

This is the most crucial question!

Dunn knew that if this question was not answered well, then he would never have a good life. Even if there is "no suspicion of guilt", his future financial movements will definitely be monitored by the federal government.

"You already said it, because I don't understand economics!" Tang En sighed and said helplessly.

Anthony narrowed his eyes and carefully analyzed Dunn's words, "Can you be specific?"

"sure."

Tang Endian Weidu was very mild and said slowly: "I worked hard to make money in Hollywood, and I invested in the stock market. Of course, I was also afraid, so I have always read economic articles, "The Wall Street Journal" and "The Wall Street Journal" I will pay attention to the economic pages of newspapers such as the New York Times.”

"In 1998, I saw an article in the newspaper by James Glassman, a visiting professor at Harvard University and a famous economist, called "Underestimating the Internet Darling." He believed that the overheated Internet market had a lot of bubbles and was The reverse pyramid that investors and securities institutions are overly hyping up is very dangerous.”

"At the beginning of this year, Professor Robert Shiller of Yale University, Professor Shiller, do you know? The most famous economist of our time, who won the Samuelson Prize, published a book called "Irrational Prosperity", It is also very reasonable to analyze that the current Internet bubble is a false economic ridicule."

Julianne frowned, "You mean you read these conservative articles and books before you thought the stock market would fall, so you chose to short tech stocks?"

Tang En nodded solemnly, "That's right!"

"But this is only a small number of people. Most economists, as well as market analysts on Wall Street, are very optimistic about high-tech stocks, why would you choose to listen to conservatives?" Anthony stared at Dunn, "Walker Sir, in my opinion, you have never been conservative."

Tang En shook his head, "Yes, being conservative is not my style, but being modest and studious is my greatest strength! I don't know much about finance, but I understand a truth, that is, extremes will turn against them. Last year, all the media were optimistic about "Saving the Soldiers" Ryan, I thought it was going to win an Oscar. And everyone saw that Shakespeare in Love was the biggest winner, and I think that's the same thing."

"It's different. Movies are movies, and the stock market is the stock market. No one can pass the greed, otherwise Nasdaq will not be in a mess now!" Anthony stared at Dunn and bluntly denied his statement. .

Dunn laughed dumbly, "Mr. Investigator, what do you mean by this? Do you want me to tell you that there are other forces behind me? Or is the entire Nasdaq stock market crash a conspiracy planned by me? I'm afraid that's not how the FBI works, is it?"

Julianne hurriedly said, "Mr. Walker, we have no doubts about you. In fact, if you really have other organizations behind you, what you are facing now is not a routine questioning."

"That's good." Tang En calmly spread his hands, "In a word, I am lucky, I have a unique vision, I am modest and prudent, and I have not committed a crime!"

Dunn and the FBI investigator ended the conversation in a friendly atmosphere.

Unexpectedly, the next day, the two companies in charge of Tang En, "Tang En Capital" and "Tang En Films", received a notice from the FBI in the investigation stage and their assets were frozen. UU reading www.uukanshu. com

And asked Dunn not to leave the United States during the investigation.

It doesn't matter to Tang En Capital, it is not urgent for the time being, but the assets of Tang En Pictures are frozen, which will seriously affect the normal operation of the company. Especially now Dunn plans to acquire starz TV station, and then cooperate with Comcast to resist the next suppression from Disney and Fox.

More importantly, it is now May, the Cannes International Film Festival, which is about to open.

This time at the Cannes Film Festival, Dunn gave high hopes. With Natalie's age, it is too difficult to win an Oscar. If she can win the grand prize at the most famous Cannes International Film Festival in Europe, it will give her a lot of confidence.

After all, France is synonymous with art. Natalie has always been very unconfident at Harvard, and even has low self-esteem because she is an actress.

Her life at Harvard would be smoother if she was recognized in France, the hall of the arts.

Unexpectedly, Tang En was banned!

The chairman of the jury of this year's Cannes Film Festival is Luc Besson. If Dunn himself comes forward, it is very likely that the "operation" will be successful.

But if you don't show up, it's probably hard to control Luc Besson with Sam Mendes, a young British director, and Alan Ball, an unknown producer.

The most crucial point, they can't provide enough benefits to Luc Besson, but Dunn can!

Don't think of European film festivals so purely. Even a bad movie like "Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones" can go to Cannes and become the opening film of the film festival. It is conceivable that European filmmakers have Hollywood Dianxi is good.

Hollywood is the palace of world cinema, no one wants to go!
