The Best Entertainment Era

In a coffee shop in Burbank, Ronan met the investment manager of Merrill Lynch.

Hello, Ronan. Scott greeted Ronan politely: Long time no see.

Ronan smiled and said, Have we not seen each other for more than half a year?

The last time they met, the two met in Santa Monica. At that time, Ronan was busy, and Scott hurried past, just saying hello.

Scott smiled and said, Yeah.

Ronan looked at Scott calmly. As before, he was wearing a suit and leather shoes, and his hair was combed meticulously. He looked like a business elite.

But the neat and tidy dress could not conceal the haggard look on his face and the anxiety in his expression.

Thinking about the current stock market, and then related to Scott's work, it is not difficult for Ronan to guess.

What do you want me to do? Ronan asked.

Scott hesitated to speak, and it seemed that it was not easy to speak.

Ronan made a joke: Isn't it for me to invest? The current stock market is like this, so it's not suitable for investment.

Of course not. Scott smiled, but the smile was a bit forced.

Thinking back more than a year ago, Ronan persuaded him more than once not to use his own money to play stocks. Even if he invested money in the stock market, he should withdraw it as soon as possible depending on the situation.

Even after Ronan withdrew from the stock market, he was reminded that enough is enough.

It's a pity that greed blinds my eyes. I don't know that the stock market has skyrocketed to such a degree that it is already very dangerous, but I always think that someone will come to take over the market later, who can pass the blame to the people behind, and then bring a large profit Retreat safely.

The results of it?

It's not too miserable, not to mention that the family has lost all their money, and they owe a large amount of debt to the bank.

Scott looked at Ronan's young face, and then thought about himself, after so many years of struggling in the securities market, he was not as clear as a young man.

That's right, Ronan's career was on the upswing while he was on the rocks.

Those who cannot control their greed,

In the end, you will be punished, and the price of this punishment is so painful that you can't wait to jump off the stairs.

If it weren't for his wife and children, he might have gone to the Golden Gate Bridge last year...

Ronan looked at the opposite side: Scott, we are old friends, if you have anything to say, just talk about it.

Scott opened his mouth. Asking for help is the most difficult thing to say, but thinking of the experience of the past year, the wife and children at home, said: Ronan, I... I have some financial problems.

Ronan asked, Due to the stock market?

Scott nodded slowly and heavily: I didn't get out in time. When the stock market first plummeted, I refused to accept the reality. I thought it was a short-term adjustment, and I missed the best opportunity to get rid of my phone. No one wants to take over, I owe a lot of money to the bank, the house in Brentwood has been taken away by the bank, almost all clients are gone in terms of work, Merrill Lynch has laid off employees in the past two months, I...

His voice became deeper and deeper: I was laid off by Merrill Lynch, lost my job, and my family couldn't even guarantee the most basic source of livelihood. The bank is still chasing the debt, and I negotiated with them to pay it back in installments.

Ronan roughly understood what Scott meant, and probably couldn't find another way. In his situation, no one would lend them money if he wanted to.

In case of jumping from upstairs, the borrower will lose everything.

Scott. Ronan was a smart man, he didn't let Scott ask for help, and asked, Have you found a new job?

Not yet. Scott shook his head.

Ronan has worked with Scott for a long time, and he knows him well. His ability is good, but his overall view is relatively general.

Of course, it was normal for him to fall so badly this time.

When the Nasdaq bubble burst in 2000, who made a lot of money?

Ordinary people, many rich people have lost their faces covered in blood.

The owner of the investment company who bought the future world and went bankrupt before he could even move in, is estimated to be worth more than ten times more than Scott, so he is still bankrupt.

Ronan's head kept turning, and he quickly thought of the plan that had been stuck on paper. It seemed that Scott could do some preparatory work, so that he could prepare for the formal formation in the future, and he could actually inspect Xia Si Kurt the man.

Thinking of this, Ronan asked directly: Scott, do you understand the operation of the Foundation?

Scott glanced at Ronan in surprise, and said, Understood. In fact, those who have achieved the position of investment manager are very clear about the operation mode of the foundation. He was not an idiot, and asked, Ronan, you Is there a foundation?

I'm going to set up a foundation. Ronan roughly said, Investment funds.

Originally, it was planned to wait for Lawyer Dinah to spend this time before letting her plan.

Ronan took a sip of coffee and said, Since you know about foundations, you should be very clear that setting up a foundation requires preparation of a lot of materials and a lot of procedures. I need a trustworthy person to help with it.

Scott immediately understood what Ronan meant: Ronan, I...

Ronan waved his hand: Don't talk about this, just listen to me.

It is impossible for Ronan to make a decision rashly on such a matter. He chatted with Scott for a long time to make sure that he really understands the preparation and operation of the foundation.

And there is basically no problem with this job.

Ronan said: Scott, I believe in your ability and character, so I want to hire you.

Thank you. Scott still said the words just now: Thank you, Ronan, thank you very much.

At this moment, the pressure on my heart was much less.

Ronan briefly talked about the salary. Scott accepted his personal employment and had nothing to do with Relativity Entertainment.

He has read a lot of information and laws and regulations about the foundation before, and when the preparation conditions are suitable, he will establish a foundation independent of the Relativity Entertainment Group.

Scott looked at Ronan gratefully. It is rare for such a young man to have vision, ability and sophistication.

I'm afraid Ronan knew what he meant when it came to Merrill Lynch's layoffs.

But Ronan didn't let him ask for a loan. Instead, he offered him a job and paid in advance for two months, which not only saved the man's face, but also solved most of the practical difficulties.

After chatting about the specific work, Ronan said: Tomorrow I will hand over some specific materials to you, and you start to do the preparatory work...Well, before the end of August, the foundation will be formally registered and established, legal issues... ...

He took out his mobile phone, searched for Dana's lawyer's contact information, sent it to Scott, and said, This is my lawyer. You can ask her for advice on any legal issues.

Scott saved the contact information and said, Okay.

Ronan said again: You should pay more attention to the preliminary work. Lawyer Dinah is busy with other work now. When the matter at hand is almost handled, I will come to help you.

Scott nodded again and again. It seemed that the stone that had been pressed on his chest for the past year had been removed, and he felt that his breathing became easier and easier.

In fact, he is very clear that this is just the preparatory work for foundation registration. There are countless people in the United States who can do this kind of work. What Ronan gave him was an opportunity, so why not a test?

If you don't do well, it's not a problem to change people or something.

The two chatted for a long time in the coffee shop, and they made an appointment to meet again at Shahai Entertainment the next day, and Scott offered to leave.

Ronan was leaving too, leaving the coffee shop with Scott.

Andrea and Taylor, are they okay? Ronan asked with concern as he walked, I haven't seen them for a long time.

Scott looked haggard, but his smile relaxed a lot, and he said, Everything is fine, Taylor asked me a while ago, when will you be visiting again.

Ronan smiled and said, I will definitely go again when I have time.

Scott didn't invite him. From an independent villa to a rented house, the psychological gap is not so easy to adjust.

He changed the topic and said, I didn't think it before, but I only found out last year that my eyesight is so short-sighted. This period of time is really too difficult.

As a beneficiary of the stock market, Ronan didn't know how to respond, so he didn't say anything at all.

Scott added: Last month, I went to Mexico with the last little money I had on me. Fortunately... I didn't go crazy.

Ronan understood the meaning of these words, and said, Some things can't be turned back after they've been done.

Scott breathed a sigh of relief, and seemed to be rejoicing, and said, I'll go to your office tomorrow to find you, the place hasn't changed, has it?

No. Ronan shook hands with Scott farewell.

A man, for the sake of his family, went to Mexico...

Then again, it's not the most dangerous occupation in Mexico, it's the other way around.

Tax evasion in the United States, drug trafficking in the East, and drug control in Mexico are all among the highest-ranking professions in the world.

Ronan got into the Cadillac and told David to drive to Shahai Entertainment. He returned to the office and sorted out some materials he had prepared when he learned about foundation cases and laws and regulations, and handed them over to Scott who came over the next day. At the same time, he made a special call to Lawyer Dinah, focusing on the matter that Scott was temporarily in charge of preparing for the registration of the foundation on his side.

There are definitely not enough materials, but with a special person in charge, what is needed in the future can be filled in.

Ronan is not in a hurry, as long as the foundation can be registered and established before September, and then wait for the American economy to continue to suffer heavy losses after September.

As for finding ways to rescue the innocent people on the World Trade Center and other unreliable ideas, Ronan didn't even think about it.

If this kind of thing is done, if it is not done well, it will pay a heavy price.

With Ronan's capital, he might not see the sun for the rest of his life.

After the event happens, it's a big deal to donate some money.

Then again, in the style of some charities, who knows how much money ends up going to the victims.

Ronan's memory is not very clear. There seems to be a scandal about 911 donations in his previous life?

The summer season of North American movies has kicked off, and The Bourne Movie will be released in more than a month, and the promotional efforts are also increasing.
