Chapter 244： Really idle

Under the influence of the Great Depression, Donald Tpland’s assets quickly shrunk. In just over two years, Donald Tpland’s assets have shrunk from the peak of $1.7 billion in assets to 500 million today. Dollar.

If this is the case, there is nothing. After all, the market value of many real estate companies has shrunk dramatically.

But before the Great Depression began, Donald Tpland was at the peak of his career. The whole person was very upbeat, and his own real estate company's stalls were very large, so he owed hundreds of millions of dollars in loans to major banks and financial institutions. After the Great Depression began, his real estate company's capital chain was on the brink of collapse due to continuous losses, and it could go bankrupt at any time.

Although he used his personal connections to persuade several banks to suspend high interest payments on those loans on a regular basis, they could no longer borrow a penny from any institution. Without funds, his real estate company would not be able to operate normally, and it would still be in a state of semi-death.

A few days ago, Donald accidentally saw an article about Eric in a newspaper that detailed the magical rise of Eric in amazement, and predicted that Eric had a Firefly movie company with this year. Several films released, the most conservative estimate can also get a net profit of 400 million US dollars.

After carefully reading the article several times, Donald Tuprand immediately moved his mind to know that even a large group company with a market value of tens of billions of dollars is unlikely to have 200 million dollars in cash, if it can be from fireflies. With this money, even if only half, he will be able to successfully pass the bankruptcy crisis.

Donald Tprand has the advantage that all savvy businessmen share, that is, they are good at grasping all the opportunities that can be seized, and he has never thought about the chances of success. Just try it, and finally there are two possibilities for success and failure, don't try it. There is only one possibility.

After Donald Tuprand made up his mind, he immediately found a detective company. A lot of information about Eric was collected in detail, and he found out that Eric’s acquisition of Jobs’s Pixar studio.

Pixar Studios has always been a heart disease for Jobs. It has been losing money since it was bought, and this studio was acquired by Eric for $20 million at the beginning of the year. In the data he collected, Pixar’s loss this year will be 10 million US dollars higher than before. Therefore, the information he collected has a very low evaluation of Eric’s acquisition, and even used 'stupidity'. Words like that.

But this is exactly what Donald wants to see. He feels that this teenager is not very smart in terms of film, but the business is not too smart, or that the whole person is not too smart except for movies. If this is the case, it would be great.

Donald Tepland originally planned to go to Seattle personally, but then I learned that Eric led the crew to New York, but here is his home base.

Because it is not possible to contact the middleman for introduction in a short time, Eric is busy shooting the film. Not participating in any social activities, Donald can only come to the door personally, he also made an analysis of Eric's character before. I feel that since I became young, Eric definitely has the pride and vanity that young people of this age should have. In order to cater to Eric’s heart, Donald Tpland’s intention is two hours early and will be the news. The person disclosed to the crew knows.

At this point, it was only 19 years old when I looked at it. Although there was a faint scorpion on the chin, there was still no young man who had completely retired from the green. Donald Tpland had an envious feeling in his heart.

Investors have estimated that the market value of fireflies after the merger with the new line has exceeded $1 billion. According to the share calculation, the boy’s worth is twice as high as he is now. The other party did it all, but it took only a year.

But it is not the time to feel it. Donald Tepland quickly sorted out a series of pre-prepared words in his mind, and was about to speak. Eric took the lead in speaking.

"Mr. Donald, are you a fan of me?"

Donald Tprand squatted and subconsciously wanted to nod, but then decided to tell the truth: "No, I am not, but I really like the "Dark War" you took. When I have a videotape, I will definitely Buy a box and go back to the collection."

"Oh, thank you," Eric nodded politely, no longer talking, watching the waiters bring up the lunches of the two people, and poured red wine for them, but they were quietly calculating, Donald. Prang obviously will not find the door for no reason, but Eric does not want to understand why the other party is looking for himself.

Wouldn't you want to run a dragon in your own movie?

Recalling the character of former Donald Tuprand who likes to enter the entertainment circle, Eric feels that this is quite possible. However, "Seattle is not sleeping" is definitely no chance. Does the other person want to guest "Little Ghost 2" ?

Eric was about to discard this ridiculous thought, but suddenly looked up and looked at Donald Opran a few times.

What-the-*!

Eric snorted silently, thinking that it would not be so smart?

Because he just came up with the thought, and when he subconsciously recalled the story of "The Little Devil 2" in his mind, he suddenly found out that Donald Teprand did a guest appearance in the movie that the child directed.

Probably in the movie more than 20 minutes, Kevin came to New York in a wrong way. When he was staying at the Plaza Hotel near Central Park, Donald Tuprand played a passerby who pointed the way for the little guys. A character, there is a line and a frontal lens.

Originally Eric also knew that there was such a referee's role, but he was busy four feet ago. In addition to the main actors of "Little Ghosts 2", he did not care about the little characters and gave them to the casting director.

And the little character like Donald Tprand's guest star does not even need to determine the actor in advance, usually when shooting, casually find an extra actor, or pull out a strong guest in the crew members to make a guest appearance.

So Eric didn't think about the identity of that person at all. If it wasn't for Donald Tuprand sitting in front of him, Eric would never think of it.

After pondering for a few seconds, Eric still didn't think that a guest with such a small character with no name and no name had any meaning. He could only say that the New York real estate tycoon was really idle. (To be continued)
