Chapter 299： Fund investment

Burbank Eleventh Street, the top floor of a six-story office building.

Standing at the door of a writing room with an area of ​​hundreds of square meters, Scott watched the workers put up brass fonts on the white wall behind the front desk, and reminded: "The Anderson Foundation is on top, and the Pacific Film Foundation is below. ."

The worker in charge of the construction turned around and said: "We do things, don't worry."

A young man walked over at this moment and smiled and said to Scott: "Head, go and rest. Just have me staring here."

Scott did not answer, but instead asked: "Does the market open today? How is the trend?"

The young man hurriedly replied: "Continuing the trend of slow recovery in the previous two days, the Nasdaq index rose by 0.15 points as soon as the stock market opened."

Scott patted the young man on the shoulder: "You are staring here, I will go back and take a look."

"Okay," the young man said.

As soon as he was about to go back to the office, Scott saw someone coming from outside, turned his head and glanced, and greeted with a bit of surprise: "Mr. Anderson..."

Ronan waved his hand to Scott and said, "Didn't you say it, just call me Ronan."

When the young man saw Ronan, he immediately realized that this was the real boss, and said respectfully, "Mr. Anderson."

Ronan smiled and nodded at him. At Scott's greeting, he entered the writing room and looked around as he walked.

The office has just been renovated after a short period of time, and the area is not very large. Two separate rooms are separated and used as Scott’s office and the company’s meeting room. The other parts are open-plan with more than a dozen tapes. A partitioned desk, but the foundation has just started to operate, including the young people at the door, with only four employees.

This is the office of the Anderson Foundation and the Pacific Film Investment Foundation, both of which are currently managed by Scott.

Of course, all expenses go to the accounts of the Pacific Film Investment Fund.

Unfortunately, the Pacific Film Investment Foundation still has only two partners, Ronan and Tony Koch.

Tom Cruise and Will Smith have also expressed their intention to become partners. Ronan is also willing to accept the investment of the two, but both of them are investing in their respective starring movies. The actual liquidity that can be drawn is limited. If the foundation wants to raise a large amount of funds, it still has its sights on the local tyrants overseas.

Ronan's personal investment foundation, all funds come from him, Scott is also directly responsible for him.

Entering Scott's office, Ronan sat on a single sofa, with Scott sitting next to him.

Ronan didn't talk nonsense, and went straight to the topic, asking: "How is the stock market?"

Scott said: "The Washington authorities have been taking strong measures to rescue the market. After more than half a month of hard work, they have recently begun to show results. The stock market has gradually stabilized five days ago, and the stock index began to rise three days ago. Although the rise is very slow, But this signal can give Wall Street and investors great confidence. Presumably, for a long time in the future, the general trend of the stock market should be a steady recovery."

"Yeah." Ronan was not considered a professional, and just said, "The stock market cannot fall forever. This is normal."

If the plunge continues, the Washington authorities are most anxious.

Scott said seriously: "This warm-up period should last for two to three years."

Ronan also felt it was possible, and then asked, "What about the fund's investment?"

Scott knew that Ronan was asking about the 65 million US dollars, and immediately replied: "In the past twelve days, I have successively invested all 65 million US dollars in it, of which 45 million US dollars were used to buy Apple stock, 20 million The U.S. dollar bought some shares of Amazon."

He further said: "Due to our acquisition, these two stocks have risen to varying degrees. Especially Apple, if it were not for me to buy the shares in the hands of a minority shareholder, the rise may have been even more."

Ronan understood that this was a normal market reaction and said, "Good job."

Today, Apple’s single share price is only $1.25, and the overall market value is less than $6 billion. If it were not for trading with minority shareholders, Scott would not be able to purchase such a huge amount of Apple stock in a short time.

Having said that, the current Apple company is really about to bottom out, who would have thought that Apple's stock price would be so low.

Even if Apple announced a few months ago that it will release a new music player at the end of October, it will not stimulate the stock market and bring confidence to investors.

Amazon is not much better. From the bursting of the Internet bubble last year, it has not slowed down, and the stock price per share is hovering around $6.

Scott said at this time: "Apple officially released a new generation of music player IPOD on the 23rd of this month. Most people are not optimistic about it. None of the new products that Apple has launched from the early 1990s to the present are really big. A success."

He glanced at Ronan: "If this product is successful, Apple may get rid of its current predicament and its stock price will rise slowly."

Ronan couldn't find any rhetoric, but the old one: "I believe Steve Jobs will bring success to Apple."

Not surprisingly, IPOD will change Apple's situation, allowing Steve Jobs to continue to control Apple until the famous kidney machine comes out, and then Apple soars into the sky.

Unfortunately, Steve Jobs died a bit early.

I have seen some news reports in my previous life. It is said that Steve Jobs did not trust western medicine. After he got cancer, he used some sacred and shinto methods to treat him.

Perhaps the death of Steve Jobs was not a bad thing, and at least many people saved their kidneys.

"Amazon has a minority shareholder with about 0.4% of the shares in his hands." Scott said: "He called me yesterday and asked if he would be interested in buying his shares."

Ronan raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Buy it."

Scott smiled and said, "The foundation has no funds on its books."

Ronan pondered for a few seconds, and said, "I will solve the problem of funds." It is not difficult to mobilize the funds of Relativity Entertainment, but considering the investment acquisition that will be made soon in the next step, he thinks it is better to borrow from the bank. Appropriate: "You keep in touch with the other party, and I will go to the bank for a loan."

He added: "Except for the borrowed funds to complete the acquisition, all the remaining part will be exchanged for Apple stock."

Scott knew that Ronan was determined, and said: "Okay." He then turned to say: "The Cinéfondation has also begun to operate officially, the funding issue..."

Ronan said: "I am responsible for the settlement of funds."

He has already contacted several financial institutions and entertainment companies in the island country and South Korea through the overseas offices of the Embassy Pictures. The two sides are in preliminary contact. If everything goes well, after the busy period, he can fly over and talk to the other parties in person. .

The money of overseas investors is handy when used.

Scott asked, "Is there anything I need to do?"

Ronan thought about it for a while, and said, "You will come with me then."

In addition to island countries and South Korea, the Indian Mountain Foundation also intends to continue cooperating with Shahai Entertainment.

The first cooperation between the two parties, "The Bourne", has achieved great success. Although it has not yet been settled, the investment profit is inevitable. This can also effectively attract the Mountain Foundation to continue to invest.

Shahai Entertainment will invest more and more large-scale productions, and the funds needed are also astronomical. Continued external financing is the most appropriate way of operation.

If you only rely on Relativity Entertainment, you must drain the liquidity, and other plans will face a situation where no money is available.

After discussing with Scott about the operation of the foundation, Ronan left the office, went downstairs and got in the car, and asked David who drove to go directly to the Bank of America, and halfway he was in charge of the bank’s docking with Judy. Si got in touch.

When he arrived at the bank, Judith was already waiting near the door to greet him, and he took Ronan directly into his office.

"Mr. Anderson." Judith smiled enthusiastically: "Welcome to Bank of America again."

Ronan smiled and said, "Every time I come here, I can think of the heavy debts I have on my back."

Judith smiled and said: "This is not a burden for you, it can be erased with a wave of hands."

"I'm here this time and need a loan." Ronan didn't pick her up, and said directly, "Personal loan."

Judith didn't even think about it, and said, "No problem, how much is needed?"

The first few loans were all repaid on time by the other party, both in terms of assets and credit, they were the best customers.

Ronan was not polite and said: "At least 30 million US dollars, the more the better."

"The number of loans is a bit large." Judith told the truth: "Mr. Anderson, such a high amount of personal loan requires mortgage."

Ronan opened the briefcase and placed the information he had prepared before in front of Judith: "This is proof of my personal income in the past two years. My future income will only increase. Income as collateral."

Judith picked up the information and looked through it carefully. After reading it, he said: "There should be no problem. I will submit it for review as soon as possible and go through the loan procedures today?"

Luo An nodded: "The sooner the betterJudith said again: "It takes about three to five days for review. "

Ronan knows that bank lending procedures are more stringent, even for old customers like him.

With the assistance of Judith, Ronan quickly completed some necessary procedures, using personal income as collateral for the next three years to apply for a $35 million personal loan from the bank.

The funds will all be used for the investment of the Anderson Foundation.

After the funds are in place, Ronan will still hand over the subsequent investment matters to Scott.

On the way back, Ronan received a call. British actor Christian Bale accepted the invitation from the crew and will take part in the audition of the little blacksmith the day after tomorrow.

There is no progress on Orlando Bloom, Ronan has already cut contact, and Christian Bale is also a good choice.
