Hollywood Tycoon [US Entertainment + Business War]

This is a small wine reception held at the Rose Valley Manor in the suburbs of Los Angeles, but this reception is not accessible to ordinary people.Unless a member of the reception sends out a special invitation, you have absolutely no chance to know about the reception.Because there are not many guests at this reception, but everyone will make "Forbes", "Fortune" or "Wall Street Journal" feel scared.

Jed is not a fool. If there is a so-called "Los Angeles Group", then it is obvious that the Rose Valley Manor reception is one of the peripheral organizations of the "Los Angeles Group".Of course, Jed was not conceited to the point where the barbarians from all over the world bowed their heads and bowed their heads to the point where he became a domineering arrogance.To be seen by a peripheral organization of a branch of one of the top consortiums in the United States is definitely an incentive for a young man who is not yet 40 years old.What's more, it was Wal Buffett who sent out this invitation. For many people, they almost have the capital to tell stories to their grandchildren in the future.

It is not difficult to be a rich man, the difficulty is how to enter the top and richest tycoon class in the United States.Don't think that the "Forbes" rich list is the real rich man. The real rich man will never let you know how much money he has.Obviously, the Los Angeles Group belongs to this class.For a class to maintain its vitality, it is naturally necessary to absorb fresh blood.

But Jed has also heard some stories from his parents and grandparents. Even if you enter this class, it doesn't mean everything will be fine.When it really comes down to you, it is often your allies who make things worse.They will tell you that it is better to use it to increase our strength than wait for you to be swallowed by the enemy.So looking at the group of old foxes in front of him with a kind smile like "the seniors look at the juniors", Jed will never take it lightly.

"We have seen your investment some time ago, and your vision is very accurate, and the timing is perfect." The representative of Wells Fargo said, "However, I am very curious about how you did it without the support of a professional investment team. of?"

Jed was startled, thinking to himself that these old foxes were not vegetarians.If it wasn't for his rebirth experience, how could Jed seize such a good opportunity?To grasp such a perfect timing, not only a professional analyst team is required to conduct massive data analysis, but also an intelligence agency is needed to obtain a large amount of intelligence, which is not something Jed can afford at all.So Wells Fargo's doubts are obvious. If Jed shows any sign that he knows the future well, he will be tied up by nearby bodyguards and sent to Area 51 for slice analysis.

Jed believes that these old foxes must have some very special sources of information, even as described in "X-Files".This group of old foxes has long reached a colonization agreement with the aliens, and they surrendered to the aliens on behalf of the earth people to protect themselves and their family's prosperity.

But anyway, Jed is also a person who has been reborn and walked in front of the gate of hell. He didn't show any surprised expression on his face, but smiled calmly: "Data and intuition, this is the secret of my investment. Maybe In the eyes of many people, data is purely rational, while intuition is purely emotional, and the two should be two extremes. But in my opinion, these two are the key to my investment strategy. As everyone knows, Data can’t lie, even if you fake it, the data will let you know in the end. You also know who my original partner is, they have some very special channels of theirs, so I can get some Very useful data. Based on these data, I use my intuition to judge key time points and important data lines, and this is my investment secret.”

The old foxes showed doubtful eyes, but it is undeniable that Jed's statement did make them somewhat accept it.Well, the Mafia, there are always secret sources of information that are outside of their control.As for intuition, at any rate, Jed's father also caused a bloodbath in the US stock market and futures market in the 80s and [-]s. Maybe his father and son have inheritance, what can you say?

The Wells Fargo representative continued, "Mr. Sherman, what if Wells Fargo asked you to be the investment manager?"

"Not interested." Jed refused coldly.What a joke, at this time Jed doesn't need to work as an investment manager at Wells Fargo Bank.Not to mention that my interest is in the film and television entertainment business, even if I really want to invest, I am afraid that opening an investment bank will make more money than Citigroup and Chase.However, Jed doesn't plan to get involved in the investment banking business. If he really provokes big monsters like Morgan or Rockefeller, he will be in trouble.

"I'm not interested in investing, so I can't accept it."

"There are not many people who would reject our Wells Fargo Bank. Mr. Sherman is the first one I have seen." The man laughed.

"I don't do things I don't like." Jed knew the Wells Fargo rep was annoyed, but Jed wasn't afraid of him.You must know that most of Jed's current companies have good assets and almost no debts, so the possibility that the bank wants to kill itself is not high at all. "Mr. Buffett, I don't know why you invited me here this time?"

Buffett glared at the representative of Wells Fargo and said with a smile: "Actually, I value Mr. Jed Sherman's investment talent. I wonder if my company is qualified to invite Mr. Sherman to participate?"

"Why are you all recruiting me today?" Jed sighed, "Mr. Buffett, I'm not interested in investing, and I don't like being restrained in my work. If one day I really want to invest, I will definitely Form an investment bank by yourself."

"Then I'm very interested in investing in your investment bank." Buffett said with a smile, "Goldman Sachs and Merrill Lynch both have my investments, and it's okay to invest in another one. Mr. Sherman, I heard that Sherman Real Estate under your name Real estate companies are buying land in Burbank, and I have to warn you that this is very bad for your short-term finances. If you own a commercial bank or an investment bank at this time, your financial problems will soon be solved. Solve it. And as far as I know, your mother owns the controlling stake in East West Bank, the largest Chinese bank in the United States. Mr. Sherman, don’t you feel that all the roads have been paved and it’s just waiting for you?”

"That part of the shares is now in the hands of Mr. Lin Bo'an, and it has nothing to do with me for the time being." Jed responded. "And I won't gamble with Chinese hard-earned money."

Jed knows better than everyone what the bank means to the Chinese.The Chinese love to save, so East West Bank has become one of the banks with the strongest capital savings in the United States with a small institution.Jed would never take this money to take risks. You must know that East West Bank is also very strict on loan review, let alone commercial speculation.

"East West Bank's influence is currently limited to California, but it may not be necessary if it merges with my United Commercial Bank." Buffett said with a smile, "United Commercial Bank is a small commercial bank with clear accounts and healthy financials, but The bank's outlets are not only distributed in important important cities across the United States, but also in some small and medium-sized cities. It is interesting that the outlets of United Commercial Bank are closely related to Chinese settlements. More importantly, United Commercial Bank Not only in the United States, but also in Canada, Hong Kong and Taipei. Mr. Sherman, do you feel interested now?"

"What's the condition?" Jed asked back.In fact, Lin Bo'an has already handed over the shares of East West Bank to Jed, but Jed has not announced this matter to the public.Shannity is also troubled by reorganizing Jade's investment business, because Jade has three investment funds under his name, which are aimed at laboratories, the Internet and mobile communications.Shannetti once suggested that East West Bank, a large company, should include these funds, but Jed did not agree for the time being.Now that Buffett can produce a bank with a reasonable network distribution and is currently making money, he has a lot to ask for.

"I just think the name of Huamei United Commercial Bank will sound good." Buffett smiled, "If Mr. Jed Sherman is willing to leave me 20% of the shares under his investment bank in the future, I am willing to give up this 80% of the shares of this bank, and jointly form the Huamei United Commercial Bank. Mr. Sherman, this is a deal that guarantees no loss."

Jed didn't know that this was a deal with no loss. He could not only win the outlets in North America and even the Far East for East West Bank, but also increase his holding share in East West Bank.The important thing is that with Buffett's endorsement, the future East West Bank may not only enjoy word-of-mouth among the Chinese, but also appeal to other ethnic groups in the United States.

"12% of United Commercial Bank's equity is worth at least [-] billion US dollars. Mr. Buffett thinks I can earn you so much money in the future?" What is an investment bank?

"Very confident." Buffett nodded, "If Sherman has no objections, I will ask the lawyer to find you tomorrow."

"That's a deal." Jed stretched out his hand, and Buffett took Jed's hand.

Although the representative of Wells Fargo is a bit uncomfortable, he has not yet had the guts to challenge Buffett.After talking about the business, it is naturally time to enjoy the food and wine.During the dinner, Jed also talked about his new movie. Regarding the movie "Independence Day", many old foxes said that they would definitely take time to go to the theater to support it when it was released.Jed didn't expect them to actually watch it, as long as they had a word or two with the media from time to time would be enough.

Jed has now found several sponsorship spots in the script, and specially asked Jia Fei to find a suitable company to negotiate.Since the great success of "Toy Story", Galaxy Film Company has deliberately added a business department, which is to find sponsors for some props in the movie.The fastest harvesting work this year is John Woo's "Mission: Impossible". Because BMW sponsored the "007 Series", Mercedes-Benz came to ask for sponsorship after learning that Jade was filming another series of spy movies.

Although the sponsorship amount is incomparable with 007, Mercedes-Benz said that it will adjust the sponsorship amount for the next episode according to the box office revenue and awards of each episode.In order to satisfy the Mercedes-Benz company, Wu Yusen had to design several shots that made the Mercedes-Benz cars look handsome.However, John Woo does not reject this, after all, just a few seconds of footage can bring millions of dollars in income, and more than a dozen new Mercedes-Benz cars can be blown up or bumped into by John Woo, no matter what you say, it is a fortune Very profitable business.

On the contrary, Michael Bay has always been very unhappy with the Ministry of Commerce, and has always refused to insert advertisements in his "Brave to the Deadly Island".It seems that at this time Michael Bay has not degenerated to the point of "selling copies".
