Chapter 434: The collapse of a billion-dollar enterprise!
, The fastest update to Hollywood’s latest chapters starting from animation!
December 23.
On this day, there is only one day left before Christmas Eve comes;
There are only two days before Christmas.
That night.
Zhuke and his girlfriend Adriana Lima, dressed up to attend a cocktail party hosted by Rio Slim, the fifth heir to the Carlos family, Mexico's richest family, and Zhuke's partner.
"Hi, Zhuke, long time no see!"
As soon as Zhuke and Lima arrived at the reception, they were warmly welcomed by the host Rio Slim.
"Similarly! My friend, I heard that you are leaving Los Angeles, I am very reluctant!" Zhuke is also very enthusiastic.
While talking, Zhuke also introduced his girlfriend Lima.
"Hahaha, I know. Adriana Lima, a very charming Victoria's Secret angel. Seriously, I think her leaving the runway is definitely a huge loss for the world." Rioll laughed .
Hearing this, Zhu Ke gave him an angry look.
Model?
Hey, it's all tears when I say it!
The level of chaos in the modeling industry is even more dirty than the entertainment industry. Although Zhu Ke has no class concept, he is also a wealthy man with a net worth of more than ten billion US dollars. If Lima wants to be with Zhu Ke, then he must give up his career as a model.
This is for sure, not negotiable!
"Riole, my friend, you leave Los Angeles before Christmas Eve this time and return to Mexico. Do you plan to come back again?" Zhuke asked.
Rio said solemnly: "My friend, in the next 3 to 5 years, I will be in Mexico."
Zhuke nodded, feeling clear.
The troubles of the big family!
Rio Slim is the eldest grandson of Carlos Slim, the richest man in Mexico, and he is the fifth in line, not the only heir. The huge family wealth is naturally a fierce battle.
Zhu Ke, who started from scratch, naturally has no such troubles.
however!
Rio's departure from Los Angeles is bound to be a big loss for Zucker.
Since 1997, on behalf of the Carlos Family Foundation, Rio has invested in as many as 9 films such as "Memories", "300 Spartan", "Spiderman" and so on.
The total investment amount is not less than 130 million U.S. dollars.
Undoubtedly, he is one of the gold owners of Wald Pictures under Zucker.
"My friend, once you leave, how can I find a friend as generous as you in the future!" Zhu Ke shouted.
"Hahaha~"
Rio laughed and said: "You really do not forget my money. However, you can rest assured that even if I leave Los Angeles, you will continue to invest in Wald Pictures movies."
Speaking of which, Zhuke understood.
Prior to this, Rio invested in Zucker’s films, using family funds, not personal wealth.
But... it's different from now on.
As the saying goes, people take the tea to cool.
Rio left Los Angeles, naturally unable to control the property of the Carlos Foundation in the United States again, but this does not prevent him from investing in Zucker's movies again in his own name.
Over the years, Rio has invested in Zucker's films on behalf of the family foundation, and has made money.
In the three movies of "300 Spartan", "Spiderman", and "Harry Potter" alone, the Carlos Foundation, where Rio works, has netted no less than US$50 million.
"I have to say that although you Zhuke are stingy, business integrity is guaranteed. I can trust you to cooperate very much." Rio said again.
"Of course." Zhu Ke laughed.
When it comes to business integrity, Zhu Ke is definitely well-known.
In this point alone, Spielberg of Zuckerby’s DreamWorks Group is not much better!
Regardless of the fact that all kinds of external capitals are rushing to Hollywood, but with the experience of getting rid of more, they no longer want to believe in Hollywood's integrity. As a result, after the 2008 subprime mortgage crisis, it will be quite difficult for Hollywood studios to raise funds from outside.
Zhu Ke played the sign of honesty in advance, and it will be relatively easy once he needs to raise funds from outside.
"No one has far-sighted, there must be near-worries!" Zhu Ke exclaimed.
........
Throughout the reception, Rio was definitely the protagonist, and was greeted warmly by all guests.
In the same way, Zhuke is very popular.
"Mr. Wald, really young and promising."
"No! Mr. Wald and Miss Lima are a match made in heaven."
"Mr. Wald's investment vision is absolutely top-notch. There is not much else to say. It is the crisis caused by the Internet bubble. Mr. Wald is one of the few people who can withdraw in time."
"Aren't you nonsense? I think Mr. Wald's greatest strength is to make Hollywood movies, especially the recent "Harry Potter" movies. My goodness, create a market industry worth hundreds of billions of dollars. Chain, this is definitely a genius idea!"
........
The compliments of the company executives and billionaires, Zhu Ke, who was used to seeing the big scene, was a bit unable to hold it for a while.
"what?"
Suddenly, Zhu Ke found a very interesting person among this group of people.
-Jeffrey Skilling!
He is an executive of Enron Energy, one of the largest energy companies in North America, and not long ago, he was appointed as the next CEO of Enron.
Enron Energy, one of the largest energy, goods and service companies in North America, has a market value of more than 100 billion U.S. dollars. It was recently listed as the 7th "Fortune 500" by Fortune magazine.
however......
At the end of 2001, Enron suddenly filed for bankruptcy protection in the New York Bankruptcy Court, and the case became the second largest bankruptcy case in American history.
Enron, with a market value of hundreds of billions, collapsed!
Zhuke does not know the cause of the "Enron Incident" very well, but he clearly remembers one thing, that is, the "Enron" case, and the last person to be tried is the Jeffrey Skilling in front of him.
After trial, Skilling, 52, was sentenced to 24 years in prison and fined $18 million. At the same time, the wealth of up to US$180 million that Skilling stolen from Enron will be recovered.
"Tsk tut~"
Zhuke looked at Skilling, who was smiling brightly in front of him, and couldn't help but think to himself: "The Enron incident is definitely a promising opportunity to make money!"
A company with a market value of hundreds of billions collapsed, and the huge wealth brewing in it, UUReading www.uukanshu.com can definitely attract anyone.
"Hey~"
"It's a pity. I didn't work in finance in my previous life. I only know a very vague outline of the Enron incident. I don't even know the specific cause and process."
"If you can know more information, you can definitely make a fortune from it."
For a while, Zhu Ke couldn't help feeling a little regretful.
However, at this moment, Zhu suddenly heard a long-lost voice.
"Ding Dong!"
[Congratulations to the host, get a hint for the future. 】
Zhu Ke was overjoyed immediately: "It's not about the Enron incident, right?"
However, Zhuke was disappointed in the end. This message was not about Enron.
"" The second update is sent.
