Chapter 13： On Tracks

In the office of Shahai Entertainment, bursts of laughter rang out, and the dark clouds pressing on the head of this small production company seemed to disappear completely.

"I should go to Abu Dhabi with you!"

After listening to Robert Lee’s extravagant description, George Clint sighed: "This experience is simply legendary! It can be used to make movies."

Robert Lee nodded: "Yes, I still can't believe it, it's like a dream."

Mary smiled and said, "I haven't had a good night's sleep since the fundraising meeting ended."

George Clint took a sip from his water glass and said, "If I can get 11 million dollars in investment, I won't sleep well either."

Mary shook her head: "I and Robert have limited work."

"That's true." Robert Lee told the truth: "Of the 11 million dollars, Ronan negotiated $8.9 million."

George Kling nodded characteristically: "We all underestimated Ronan." He sighed: "When I started with a dead horse as a living horse doctor, I didn't expect Ronan's plan to be successful, but also so successful. 11 million U.S. dollars, how long will it take for Shahai Entertainment to make so much money?"

The other two people were silent, why didn't they have such thoughts.

Mary said softly, "Ronan has changed."

"Hmm." George nodded.

Robert took the conversation: "Ronan was originally a clever man and talented. Now, letting go of fantasy and impulse, he has become mature."

George Clint smiled suddenly: "The failure of the previous project is not necessarily a bad thing. Shahai Entertainment may usher in a new era."

The three laughed at the same time.

A few minutes later, Ronan walked into the company and saw the three remaining employees talking and laughing. He put down his briefcase and asked, "So happy, what's the matter, share it?"

"Abu Dhabi's knowledge." Mary responded.

Ronan walked over: "A very beautiful city."

"A city that makes people happy." Robert answered, "I will never forget it in my life."

George Clint interjected: "I regret staying in Los Angeles."

Ronan pulled a chair and sat with the three of them: "George, without your logistical support, we could not have succeeded."

When they were in Abu Dhabi, some media in North America were always paying attention to the "Human Removal Project", and George Clint played an important role.

Mary changed the subject at this time: "Ronan, you should buy a car. It's a waste of time to crowd the bus every day."

Little Anderson used to have a luxury Lincoln, which was later sold for salaries to company employees. Ronan came here and either took Mary's car or squeezed the bus.

"I'll go back and buy one." Ronan patted his palms: "Okay, let's talk about work."

The three people immediately became serious. Before they knew it, they felt convinced by Ronan.

Ronan quickly said: "This trip to Abu Dhabi, we have solved the financing problem, at least within three years, there is no need to worry about insufficient funds. Now, it is time to get the company back on track."

Before arranging work, Ronan first fulfilled his promise: "This successful financing cannot be separated from your support. As I said before, you can get corresponding rewards for successful financing."

Mary, George and Robert all laughed and looked very happy.

Ronan knows very well that in this mature business society, even those who are loyal to the company will have certain material needs.

Sometimes, saying a thousand words and ten thousand is not as effective as monetary rewards.

Besides, at the beginning of the plan, he promised one percent reward for each person.

He made an inspiring promise, and he must be honored. Ronan said directly: "The four of us, each of us has a bonus of $110,000!"

George looked excited: "Now Lyle has nothing to say."

Ronan knows that Lyle is George’s wife and has always had a big opinion about him staying in Shahai for entertainment. George has four children and his life burden is quite heavy.

People who are in middle age, many choices are often involuntary, and those who bear the burden of their families, how many trips do they dare to have fun and leave?

Robert stated: "We create a new situation together!"

Mary didn't speak, the woman's support for Ronan was beyond doubt.

Without the assistance of these four people, Ronan would not be able to achieve the Abu Dhabi financing plan almost perfectly. Of course, the 11 million US dollars will not be all invested in movies, and they must be used for other purposes.

Doing so is to completely tie the three people on the pirate boat.

After gaining benefits, it is natural to bear corresponding risks.

"Next, we will get the company back on track." Ronan turned to the topic: "We should also formally prepare to plan the "Human Removal Plan" project."

Mary is more cautious: "We have accepted the investment from the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, and we need an explanation."

Ronan nodded and said, "Robert, you are in charge of hiring people who are in urgent need of positions in the company. Robert, you are responsible for the official launch of the director and behind-the-scenes recruitment of the "Human Removal Project". Mary, you are responsible for the overall funding and daily administration , When the right person is recruited, you will be responsible for financial work."

All three of them responded.

Afterwards, Ronan discussed many details with them before returning to the office.

Mary followed Ronan into the office.

Close the office door, Mary asked, "How much do you plan to invest in the "Human Removal Project"?"

Ronan needed Mary’s cooperation and said directly: “It will not exceed US$2 million, depending on which level of director and actors we can hire.” He simply said: “I plan to use US$4 million for filming and loan repayment. "

"What about other funds?" Mary felt that she had overestimated Ronan's conscience.

"Stock market." Ronan said slowly, "I am going to invest in the stock market."

Mary said in surprise: "Ronan, this...this is crazy!" She reminded: "This is a violation of the contract and has already touched the law."

Ronan gently shook his head: "The Arabs don't know. The public production budget of "Human Removal Project" is 11 million U.S. dollars. The actual expenditure of Hollywood movies is a secret to the outside world, and even more to the Arabs."

Mary was silent for an instant. There is no third-party guarantee or professional supervision. It is impossible for Arabs in the Middle East to control Shahai Entertainment.

Actually, how many movies in Hollywood actually cost like publicly announced? There are too many tricks inside, there are too many to count, and the game of left hand to right hand is dazzling.

"It doesn't matter if the Arabs find out." Ronan had already made the worst assumptions: "The international lawsuit is very troublesome. UU Reading will just drag them with them. As long as they drag on for two years, none of this will be possible. There is another problem."

"The stock is too risky." Mary still advised.

Ronan thought for a while and said, "Is it risky to go to Abu Dhabi this time? We did it. I didn't make an impulse investment. Will this money be invested in the film industry more risky than investing in the current stock market? Without sufficient funds, we cannot make Shahai Entertainment bigger."

Thinking of the booming stock market, the high risks of the film industry, and the magical trip to Abu Dhabi, Mary finally nodded slowly: "Okay, I cooperate with you."

She also suggested: "You'd better reserve a certain amount of money for the company's daily expenses."

Ronan nodded: "I know." He smiled: "We are about to prepare the "Human Removal Project". All the company's expenses will be incorporated into the project."

"This is also a way." Mary had no objection.

Those small Hollywood companies that raise money to shoot independent films often do this kind of thing.

Even, some independent filmmakers with no taste, as long as they have projects under their hands, the family's expenses can be linked to the crew.

Most of the mainstream commercial films in Hollywood are really well-regulated and well-regulated. The independent film circle is not only chaotic between men and women, but also chaotically in other aspects.

The phone on Ronan's desk rang, but it was Judith from the bank.

"Mr. Anderson, the mortgage of Shahai Entertainment is still due in one month. If it is overdue..."

Hearing this woman's voice, Ronan frowned slightly and said directly: "Tomorrow I will go to the bank to handle the loan repayment, so be it."

He cut off the phone directly and said to Mary: "You make preparations. Tomorrow we will go to the bank first, and then to Merrill Lynch’s Los Angeles branch."
