Chapter 707： : Business Expansion

Children laughed from time to time in the movie theater, and Monroe held Jiang Hao's arm with a look of joy, "Jon, are we successful?"

"I think so."

The next day, the film reviews of "Raccoon Battle" appeared in the newspapers, and many film critics gave positive reviews.

Film critic a, "This is a typical drama. The story is very interesting, easy and warm. I think the best is the performance of three little raccoons. It is the best animal actor I have ever seen."

Film critic b, "A simple story, an interesting experience, it is definitely worth watching for the parents to bring their children together. You will enjoy a wonderful 2 hours. This is a story of a little raccoon fighting evildoers. , The others are supporting actors. "

Film critic c, "First of all, I want to say that I like this movie very much. This is the work of a new director. The actors in it are also new. The director of this film is also the writer and producer of this film, and the music production. People, the actor, although the actor has only three minutes of acting, I have to say that he is a versatile guy, Jon Hall, let us remember the name, he also wrote two books, one called "The Gallery "Bridge Remains" and "Smell the Woman", I have read these two books, these two novels have been listed as my favorite novels, I have to say that these two books are better than three The story of the little raccoon has a lot of meaning, which is the main reason why I care about the director. "

The heroine Monroe is very absent.

The praise is because the quality of the film is good, and some are given money. Warner's public relations efforts in this area are very good.

The theater has gradually increased from more than 200 to more than 800, covering most cities in the United States.

At the same time as North America's success, Warner began operating markets outside North America, Japan, Austria, France, Belgium, West Germany, Finland, Denmark, Sweden ... seeking global box office profits.

On this day, Jiang Hao suddenly received a call from Howard, the owner of "Time Books", "Hi Jon, my name is Howard. First of all, congratulations on the success of your movie. I read in the newspaper that the North American box office has exceeded 11 million. This is only half a month. "

"Thank you for your congratulations, Howard, is there anything?" Jiang Hao said.

"Of course, the good news is that because of your publicity in the movie, a lot of people came to the bookstore to buy your two books. Only in the past half month, more than 30,000 copies have been sold, and the sales have not slowed down. The trend, Jon, maybe we need to think about the imprint. "Boss Howard said.

"This is really good news. I will authorize Robert to negotiate with you for printing. How much are you going to print this time?" Jiang Hao said.

"Each 100,000 books, these two books are of high quality and are definitely hot works, and worth 100,000 copies."

"OK, then 100,000 copies."

When Jiang Hao was about to end the call, Howard suddenly asked, "Jon, are you interested in selling movie rights to these two books?"

Jiang Hao immediately realized what and asked, "Did anyone fancy them?"

"Oh," Howard smiled. "I can't hide it from you. Yes, someone fancyed these two books, which is very suitable for making a movie. Someone asked me about copyright."

I was right. The movies made by these two books were the works of Oscars in later generations, but Jiang Hao didn't plan to sell it. This was for himself.

"Howard, I am the director myself," Jiang Hao said.

"Ahaha, I already thought about it, I just told you, this is my responsibility, right?"

"Yes, I'm very honored to see my work."

"Jon, once again congratulations on the success of the movie, you will soon be a multimillionaire."

Putting down the phone, picking up the cigar in the ashtray and taking a sip, Jiang Hao murmured, "Millionaire, hehe, I'm going to be in debt now."

Jiang Hao's funds have indeed bottomed out after filming, post-promotion, and raising a movie company with hundreds of people.

Now that "Raccoon Battle" is successful, it has more than ten million box office in half a month, and the one-month release standard has not been implemented yet. It can also be used in two or three months. As long as someone sees it, the theater feels profitable, so the evaluation team estimates It is not a problem that the box office is over 20 million. According to the share ratio, his company can get a share of about 34%, and he can get a profit of 6.8 million.

6.8 million minus the initial investment, his net profit is about 4 million, which is definitely a profitable business.

But it ’s not easy to get this money. Even if you get the share from Warner in accordance with the normal agreement, it will take April or May next year. It has to wait for the first half of the year. As for the global box office, roar, it is normal to wait for one or two years. .

So what does he do next?

He is still thinking about making the second and third films, and he is now addicted to the feeling of creating a film himself.

Perhaps he can take a loan. This is Robert's proposal. He can use the current box office share to talk to the bank. The bank should be glad to accept this business.

But the bank is also a vampire.

The past three months have come to an end. It's time to take a look at my other business. I don't know how the noodles have developed.

The point is, he wants to get money.

..........

"Ling Ling Ling!"

The manor's telephone rang suddenly, and Jaden picked up and answered, "Who's looking for?"

"Find noodles."

Jayden vaguely remembered this voice. He had also received a call from this voice before. His tone and title had never changed. Every time the boss received the call, he would go out alone, and he would not even take it.

"Okay, I'm called the boss."

Not long after, the noodles connected to the phone and waved Jaden out. "Boss, I'm noodles."

"How's it going?"

"Not bad, maybe, great."

"Then we meet and talk, old place." Jiang Hao said.

"Ok."

Noodle drove alone to the Hudson River embankment, saw the familiar figure already standing by the river, got out of the car and walked over.

"Would you like one?" Jiang Hao passed a cigar.

"Thank you."

Take the noodles and order them.

"Tell me about the current development situation, more than two months, I don't know how." Jiang Hao asked.

"We have a firm foothold in Manhattan and Brooklyn. I now have more than 600 people, part of which is responsible for the hot bar factory, most of which are in the borneol business."

"The hot bar factory has been established, and it is not difficult to produce that. I found a few technicians and quickly came up with the best formula and production process. The factory is now on track, and the channel of our hot bar production has gradually Spreading out, the first month's sales were only more than 800,000, and the profit was 200,000. Last month's sales surged to more than 1.6 million, and the profit exceeded 600,000. I believe that with the expansion of channels, sales will get better and better. , Indeed, as you said, this is a profitable business. "

"The borneol business is very good, better than I expected ... I went to Las Vegas and met Steve. He was very satisfied with the borneol. The previous business had done the same for two months. In this business, we have a net profit of more than 4 million. "

"Is the hot strip factory legally registered?" Jiang Hao asked.

"Yes, that's a legal business, and I also applied for patent protection." Noodle replied.

Jiang Hao thought about it, "Take me to see the Hot Strip Factory."

The car stopped outside a factory in Brooklyn. The two entered the factory. Several younger brothers saw the boss coming and immediately came over. Noodles looked at Jiang Hao. The opponent said, "This is my boss, Stark. Mr."

The younger brothers looked at each other. When did the boss have the boss, but this was not the reason for their rudeness. A few guys saluted immediately. "Hello Mr. Stark."

After moving around the factory, Jiang Hao found that the factory was very clean. Although the various machines are not fully automatic like the later generations, the degree of automation is also very high, and I have to sigh. This is only the 1960s America.

Back at the office, the two sat down, and the noodles poured a glass of wine for Jiang Hao, saying, "Now our spicy bars are very popular with customers, and they are basically in short supply. In order to facilitate transportation and expand the market, I plan to go to other cities. I have also built several hot bar factories, and I don't know what you think. "

"Where are you going to drive?"

"Chicago, Miami, Los Angeles," said Noodle.

Jiang Hao looked at him and said with a smile: "You don't just want to sell spicy sticks."

The noodle nodded. "There is also an important place to sell borneol."

"Aren't you afraid of flimsy?" Jiang Hao asked.

"Boss, the other day I met the chairman of the Italian hēishǒudǎng committee, and the head of the Corleone family, Mike Corleone," said Noodle.

Jiang Hao's heart moved. Mike Corleone, the second-generation godfather, is also a man struggling for life for the family and the underworld.

"What did you talk?"

"We talked about the future of New York. He didn't want New York to happen too much. After all, doing business is the number one priority. A stable environment is needed. If the gang is too fierce, the government will inevitably rectify it. Not good, "said the noodle.

"He's right." Jiang Hao nodded.

"Yes, I accepted his proposal, and then we both reached a cooperation agreement to make money peacefully. We have shared the drug market in New York. Hēish 还有 udǎng still has a lot of power in other places, such as Chicago, Miami, and Los Angeles. They want us to supply them, "said Noodle.

Jiang Hao frowned. "Aren't they not in the drug business?"

"Boss, it is the Corleone family who is unwilling to do drug business, but this time, Mike Corleone represented the entire Italian hēishǒudǎng, and the other hēishǒudǎng families, many of which used drugs as their main business." Noodle said.

The godfather performed the Italian hēishǒudǎng very well. The real Italian hēishǒudǎng, drug trafficking, arms sales, human trafficking, gambling, sèqíng, money laundering, extortion, bǎngjià, fraud, these are all their ways to get money.

Of course, they also have legitimate professions, but those legitimate professions can only do so safely because of their hēishǒudǎng forces.

"Yes ~ www.novelhall.com ~ But don't mix the two businesses." Jiang Hao said.

"I know."

"I need money now, how much money can you prepare to come out?" Jiang Hao asked bluntly, the time of the real test has come.

Noodles thought for a while and said, "I can make up 3 million U.S. dollars to open a new market, and I can only give you cash for this money."

Jiang Hao understood that he was going to use money for drugs, so it was cash. When noodles asked for money, Noodles did not show disgust and distressed emotions. It can be seen that he really regarded him as the boss and partner, and did not want to swallow his part of the profit.

"No problem with cash. I'll be ready in three days. I'll come and get it." Jiang Hao said he was about to leave, when the noodles suddenly said, "Boss, thank you for helping Deborah, I'm glad to see her happy."

Jiang Hao patted the shoulder of the noodle. "This is a small thing. Okay, I'm leaving, and I will contact you by phone later."

Jiang Hao contacted this phone mainly because he contacted the noodles, but the noodles couldn't find him.
