Chapter 418 Cooperating with Liars
After parking the car, Nancy Josephson crossed the neat stone road and walked to the eye-shaped villa in the manor. She was a frequent visitor here. No one stopped or greeted her until she entered the spacious living room. Only then did he see Emma, the housekeeper, waiting for her.
Duke and Tina are in the study.
The housekeeper led the way. Nancy Josephson nodded and followed. The two walked up the stairs and went directly to the study on the third floor. Emma knocked on the door and asked, and then let Nancy go in. back to the first floor.
In the study, Duke put his hands on the desk, Tina Fey sorted out the information with a serious face, saw Nancy come in, moved a chair, and sat opposite Duke with her.
Is something wrong? Nancy asked, seeing Duke and Tina Fey look a little serious. You're in such a hurry to call me back?
Recently, she was invited by Christopher Rockencourt to travel to France and Belgium to replace Duke to investigate the feasibility of the project being filmed in Europe. The negotiation between the two has entered the final stage, and it will definitely be possible before Halloween. reach an agreement.
Sorry, Nancy. Duke picked up the teapot and poured her a cup of black tea. There are some situations that I think you need to know.
Nancy frowned slightly. Thinking of her recent work, she couldn't help asking, It's related to Christopher Rockencourt's project.
Duke nodded to her and gestured to Tina Fey, Tina...
Tina Fey gave Nancy Josephson the information she had organized. This is the investigation record of Anthony Pellicano of the Hollywood Eye on Christopher Rockencourt.
After taking the document, Nancy opened it carefully and read it line by line. She knew that Duke had always been uneasy about Christopher Rockencourt, and it didn't feel strange for anyone to investigate. The document was very detailed. But after reading it, she not only did not have more doubts about Christopher Rockencourt, but thought him more credible.
Anthony Pellicano is indeed very powerful, but his ability is basically limited to the scope of Hollywood, and the investigations are all about the situation of the other party since he entered Hollywood to the present.
Nancy knew Duke's way of doing things very well, so she read the information carefully.
Christopher Rockencourt came to Hollywood at twenty-four. Entered this circle through the introduction of the make-up artist of the famous French movie star Brigitte Baze, who has been claiming to be the descendant of the European earl in Hollywood for many years, and many producers, artists, bankers and investors regard him as a possible A trusted friend who participates in his project investment in various ways.
This is also a typical playboy. Before his relationship with Jessica Alba, he lived a luxurious life and lived in a top-notch hotel. Female stars fell in love with him. He is a well-known person in Hollywood. For some time in the circle, it is still rumored that he is the grandson of Sophia Roland who refuses to admit.
Among them, what impresses Nancy the most is his kung fu in picking girls. The data shows that he has an extraordinary relationship with many actresses such as Demi Moore. He even had a relationship with the daughter of the president of the small African country Gabon!
Just looking at this information, Christopher Rockencourt's Hollywood career can be described as extremely successful.
After closing the document, Nancy looked at Duke, the doubts in her eyes deepened.
Tina Fey spoke at this time. Anthony Pellicano basically dug him out of Hollywood, but the Hollywood Eye is a bit of a misnomer.
Investigation on the other side. What he got was far more than that. Tina Fey handed over another document, This is a document dug up by a former FBI employee using his network.
Without waiting for Nancy to look at the documents, Tina Fey continued. He found the makeup artist who introduced Christopher Rockencourt to Hollywood in northern Europe through immigration. When Christopher Rockencourt first met him, he was neither an earl nor a producer, only claiming to be a European boxing match. The lightweight champ...
Also, there are problems with his so-called investment projects in the past. Tina Fey continued, Christopher Rockencourt did get along with a lot of Hollywood celebrities, and these people have invested a lot in his projects in the past few years. money, and got a commensurate return, but there are problems with those investments.”
He set up a pyramid-like investment structure, attracting people at the bottom of the pyramid to invest, and then taking their money and paying back a small portion, so that they would think they were getting a huge, big return and then tell their friends...
Ponzi scheme? Nancy immediately understood what Tina Fey meant.
It's not just that... Duke interjected, In this way, he won the trust of more people, so that these people can make more investment, especially when throwing out a big project, those who he The man who has earned his trust will invest in his project several times more than in the past, and then…”
He disappeared with the money through financial means... Tina Fey took Duke's words.
Nancy didn't seem to believe it, but we checked and his passport, identity and bank credit were all right.
That's the genius of Christopher Rockencourt. Tina Fey's face became more serious. It's also the reason why he pursued the daughter of the President of Gabon.
Without asking Nancy to wait, Tina Fei said directly, The President's daughter named Li Dabona Pogue spent a lot of money to help him solve the identity and other issues through relationships. If he just uses reasonable means to investigate , I can't find any problem with him at all.
Nancy is also a smart person, her head gradually turned, and a wry smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, This President's daughter should have been carefully selected by him, right? After she returned to Africa, it is impossible for her to affect North America. Who is here in North America? If you have nothing to do, you will go to a small country in Africa?
What a careful thinking... Now, she has to admire, What a clever method.
Such a person has been working hard in Hollywood for ten years without being exposed, and he has also moved to a position closer to the upper class in the circle. If he hadn't deceived himself, Duke really wanted to describe him as a legend.
Reality is sometimes more magical than movies.
Combining the information provided by Edward Newgate, a former senior FBI employee, Duke thinks about his contact with Christopher Rockencourt. He is a financial idiot, but he is very clear that all Ponzi schemes will eventually collapse because of the broken capital chain, and Christopher Rockencourt should not be able to hold on.
Duke... Nancy said again at this time, what should we do?
How to do? If the other party hadn't deceived him, Duke would be too lazy to pay attention to him. The money in the hands of many Hollywood stars will be squandered even if they are not deceived. Friendship, there is absolutely no need to remind those people like the Virgin Mary.
The problem is that Christopher Rockencourt has him involved.
We end negotiations with Christopher Rockencourt... Nancy Josephson asked tentatively, and then report it to the Los Angeles County Sheriff?
No... Duke shook his head.
In fact, when looking for someone to contact Anthony Pellicano and Edward Newgate, he had already figured out what to do if Christopher Rockencourt was a liar!
Tina, Nancy... Duke admonished the two of them, until the time comes, this matter must be confined to the three of us, and after leaving the study, just pretend it didn't happen.
As an assistant for many years, Tina Fey could roughly guess what Duke was thinking, and said nothing, just nodded.
Nancy Josephson didn't understand Duke's intentions at all, and asked, Aren't we going to give up contact with Christopher Rockencourt?
Don't give up! Duke didn't hesitate. Nancy, just pretend what happened today never happened, and continue negotiating with Christopher Rockencourt. Be careful, don't make any written agreement with him.
I understand. Unless Nancy was stupid, she would initially sign a deal with a liar.
It's up to you this time. Duke joked, Show your Oscar-winning acting skills.
Nancy rolled her eyes slightly and asked curiously, Duke, what is your purpose?
Duke did not answer directly, but instead stated a series of data on the document, According to the information checked by Anthony Pellicano, Christopher Rockencourt has raised nearly 35 million US dollars in funds, including There are more than 30 investors such as actors and directors, and many of them are retired old men who have invested their pensions in it...
He knew who the old men Nancy could understand.
You want more people to enter the game? Nancy already understood what Duke meant.
Yes, I want more people to fall victim to Christopher Rockencourt... Duke said solemnly, We launch at the right time, and then let these influential people in the circle owe us A favor!
This is indeed a business society where interests come first, but the human feelings within the rules can also play a role.
Duke never took for granted what Peter Jackson had, and he was preparing for the end of the trilogy.
Nancy thought for a moment, then asked again, Aren't you afraid that he will run away early?
Human greed is always unlimited. Duke pointed to his heart, There is always wanting more here.
The former FBI who took his hire had been keeping an eye on Christopher Rockencourt.
Duke continued, Nancy, it depends on your acting skills.
Nancy pouted and joked, After this incident, you must award me an Oscar. (To be continued ~^~)
