Once Upon a Time In Hollywood

Chapter 189: All big names, unexpected news

??Chapter 189 is full of celebrities, unexpected news

?? There is such a line in "Downton Abbey", the hero asks the eldest lady of the earl's heir a question: "How do you make money?", and the eldest lady answers him: "We don't make money, we inherit money."

Feng Lun, chairman of Wantong, also wrote this evaluation in his "Savage Growth": "The nature of money is 'lazy and greedy', and the offspring of the rich will gradually fade out of people's sight, and they don't want to go around. Running around and working hard to make money, but greedy to take advantage of it, also greedy, very cunning, and slippery, wanting to run away whenever there is trouble, so the nature of these old money is basically concentrated here, using the past derogatory terms to say that they are greedy and greedy. Crazy and timid. It is because of their existence that there will be diligent, skilled and well-organized fund managers. Fund managers are people who are capable, hardworking, and short of money. These people represent The old money behind it is running around the world."

To put it more plainly, wealth is like a game to old money, and their attitude towards wealth is like listening to Kunqu opera. When they are interested, they can listen to a piece, go whenever they want, and go whenever they want. Listen, whenever you want.

?? But for the new money, wealth is a weapon to increase their own value. Their attitude towards wealth is like listening to an opera. You have to sit there with a straight face, because to them, following the rules of art is a symbol of wealth.

Therefore, when the big bald head Ronald Perelman said the output of Bollinger R.D.1975 lightly, and commented on the taste of the other party, Roland's heart was filled with emotion—maybe others would think that this big bald head was doing Pretend to beep, but for them, this is really just a word that they are accustomed to, just like the old horse who opened the Guanfu Museum. What's the problem.

??Your admiration is our daily life. Since it is life, I judge whether the wine is good or not, is it hindering you?

Of course, the evaluation of the bald head will not hinder Roland. He has experienced realistic beatings in his previous life, and he will be calm no matter what he encounters in this life. , then everything he has now is the end of his life, isn't the root of working hard to make money just to live a better life?

Steven Spielberg built a racing track at home for their children, and Bill Gates built a sea shark pavilion at home for their daughters. They may be used to simplicity, but their children will eventually realize their dreams. dream.

??It is the greatest wish of the founding generation not to let their descendants make the choice of "not to bend for five buckets of rice".

And when following the big bald Ronald Perelman upstairs, Kate, who let go of Roland because he was held by him, walked to his side again. Not only that, but while grabbing Roland's arm, she also With his finger, he quietly wrote a sentence in Roland's palm - 'Letit Go'.

?? "Let It Go"? ? ?

When Roland felt the warmth from his palm, the "Frozen" that he and the three Olsen sisters had talked about popped up in his head. It was not until Kate squeezed it twice that he realized that the other party was Tell yourself to 'never mind' it.

??Turning his head, looking at the caring eyes of the other party, Roland raised the corner of his mouth, showing an expression that I'm fine.

??The small movements of the two people were also seen by the big bald head who just turned around.

??The transmission and response between them, in the eyes of the big bald head, is simply the mutual discharge between young people.

Maybe it was because he ate a mouthful of dog food, or maybe it was the behavior between Roland and Kate that made the big bald head think of himself when he was young, so when he entered the room, he also clapped his hands, attracting the guests in the lobby Attention, "Comeon! Look who's coming? Our New York superhero! And his girlfriend!"

??Although the big bald head is a businessman, and he has repeatedly stated that he has never experienced love at first sight, but in fact, this guy's emotional intelligence is as slippery as his lips.

??You know, his first wife met when he was 22 years old when he was on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem.

??Following his shout, all the guests who arrived earlier cast various glances at the door.

Although the guests tonight are either rich or expensive, they are all old acquaintances, and when Carl Icahn, who was leaning on the sofa and smoking a cigarette, saw three figures at the door, the old man got up even more familiarly. , stepped forward and hugged Roland very affectionately, "Oh, Roland, you're finally here, we're here to talk about you..."

?? "Jordan's daughter is your fan, and she has been pestering Ivanka to ask you about things."

?? Before the old man finished speaking, Jordan beside him came over to shake hands, "Hello, Roland, I'm Jordan Belfort."

??Although Roland didn't know the other party just by looking at his face, Roland suddenly came to his senses after the other party announced his family name. Jordan Belfort, isn't that special person the author of "The Wolf of Wall Street"!

Jordan Belfort, nicknamed the King of Junk Stocks, is the real prototype played by Xiao Li in the movie. His personal record is extremely brilliant, and the most amazing thing is that when the US Securities and Exchange Commission investigated his company, he was in front of the investigators. The interview with the FBI cost 12.5 million in three minutes, but even if it was an audio and video recording, they would not be able to convict him.

??Being too arrogant, he was finally sent to prison by the FBI in 1998, and "The Wolf of Wall Street" was also written by him in prison.

??However, after this guy was released from prison, he turned himself into a soul lecturer, giving lectures in major teaching places. While he was earning a lot of money, he also told the students to be a warning.

?? Of course, this guy is also Jewish.

?? "Hello, Jordan." Roland responded with a smile.

"Oh, Jordan, how could you be like this? You come up to say hello to Roland by yourself, and don't care about your daughter?" Just as Roland and Jordan shook hands, a bald man with a Mediterranean ring also came up, The left hand rested on Jordan Belfort's shoulder very familiarly, and the right hand reached out to Roland.

?? "Hello Roland, I'm Michael Milken, I think you should be familiar with me?"

?? "Your teacher must have told you about me, if not, then his company can declare bankruptcy tomorrow..."

Michael Milken, the Wall Street junk debt king, and CNN and Turner Broadcasting Network, which Roland had dealt with before, all developed and grew with the funds he raised. Even Murdoch, who wanted to be friends with Carl Icahn and the others, entrusted various media acquisitions when forming the Fox TV network. Made it for him.

??Of course, the teacher in his mouth refers to Steven Spielberg.

??When Lucasfilm was developing, the competitors of Industrial Light and Magic were killed by him one by one.

??His most classic words are 'I can raise as much money as GM wants'.

Similarly, because of being too arrogant, when fighting with Gulf Oil Company, they raised nearly 10 billion in cash in ten days and played the game of "competing who has more money" with the other party, so in 1990, they were arrested by the FBI. He was thrown into prison on false charges, but he was released from prison in 1993 three years later. Although he was banned from engaging in the securities industry, it is not illegal to come up with an idea!

??He is also Jewish.

Although the old man Steven never mentioned him to Roland, if Roland really said that he didn't know, it would be embarrassing. After hugging him with a big laugh, a middle-aged man wearing black glasses also left Come over and say familiarly: "Roland, I'm David Shaw, I'm sorry for Amazon's trouble, Jeff called me many times, I really couldn't find an investor to vote for him, and then Ronald If you say you play on the Internet, I will let him find you, thank you, I finally don't have to listen to the report every night."

??Hearing this, how could Roland not know that the boss in front of him is the king of quantitative analysis who helped him connect with Amazon?

??Holding each other gratefully with both hands, Roland expressed his gratitude from the bottom of his heart, "No, no, no...David, I love the Internet, I am very interested in the Internet, this is not troublesome at all..."

"Really? I'm also interested in the Internet!" Before Roland and David Xiao had a few words to chat, the guy with a few tufts of hair in the center of his forehead came over and directly Inserted in the middle of them, "Roland, do you recognize me?"

Hearing the sudden words, Roland was a little confused. After carefully looking at the other party, he rolled his eyes slipperily, wanting to ask for help outside the court. After seeing his appearance, he kept looking at his friend who greeted Roland. The bald man patted the other person's shoulder with a smile, and said, "Ryan, don't scare Roland, okay?"

?? "This is New York, that guy Francis (Coppola) can beat you straight up!"

?? While speaking, he pointed at the other party and looked at Roland, introducing: "Lian Blavatnik, Access Industries."

??When Roland heard about Access Industries, he knew who the guy in front of him was.

??Access Industries is indeed not a well-known investment company, but this company did one thing in Roland's previous life, which was to acquire Warner Music Group for 3.3 billion US dollars.

?? That’s right, since 2011, Warner Music Group has not been a subsidiary of Time Warner.

?? And precisely because of this, Roland in his previous life checked this guy's record.

?? If you don’t check, you don’t know, but if you check, you will be shocked.

??Lian Blavatnik’s Access Industries holds shares in many companies, among which are Alibaba, Amazon, Facebook, Pinduoduo…

?? That’s right, it’s the Pinduoduo that offers more discounts.

??Although none of them entered the market in the angel round, the other party did not sell the shares of these companies at all.

?? Not only that, he is also a Jewish man who likes movies.

?? At the same time, he is also a friend of Francis Coppola who cos Italian mafia every day.

??Although the bald-headed Ronald Perelman didn't pay attention to Roland at all before the release of "The Shawshank Redemption", he is still very considerate of today's family gathering—

??In addition to Carl Icahn who met before, Michael Milken and Jordan Belfort, these two are important comrades in arms of Carl Icahn when he was sniping listed companies;

?? And between David Shaw and Rowland, Jeff Bezos is the bridge;

??Ryan Blavatnik is directly a friend of Francis Coppola and can be considered as a colleague;

??In addition, Comrade Chuan Jianguo, who had met Roland before and whose daughter loved Roland's body, was present;

??As well as an important member of the Donkey Party, the founder of Bloomberg, who served as the mayor of New York for three times, and the Jew Michael Bloomberg who will fight with Chuan Jianguo in the battle for the general election in the future.

??Yes, it seems that the future Michael Bloomberg and the undercover comrade Chuan Jianguo in America have many conflicts, but can you imagine that they are friends at this time?

??Michael Bloomberg is now a supporter of the Grand Commander, and he gave up his identity as the Donkey Party and switched to the Elephant Party just to run for mayor of New York. After three terms, he jumped to the Donkey Party again.

?? But this is normal, even the eldest princess and her husband are jumping around repeatedly. In their eyes, things like the donkey-elephant fight are just ways to make money. Whoever is serious will lose.

??Including Roland, the core number of people in the entire private party is no more than nine people, but the assets of these people are added together, even if they have not experienced the expansion after the millennium, their own assets have begun to run towards 100 billion.

It's a pity that Warren Buffett, whom the bald head promised to introduce to him in November last year, was not there. I didn't drink Coke at the party, so I refused with a series of unreliable reasons because I was busy with work, I couldn't get away, and I really didn't have time to wait."

??Hearing these words, Roland immediately expressed his understanding.

?? Regardless of whether it is investment or marriage, that old man is doing long-term work.

?? Compared with Carl Icahn, the two people are simply a world.

??If Carl - Icahn is not there, the old man may accept the invitation of the big bald head and enjoy a meal.

?? But with Carl Icahn present, the old man was naturally unwilling to confront him.

?? After expressing his indifference and saying that there would be opportunities to meet each other in the future, the bald head also laughed and introduced the other family members present to Roland and the two of them one by one.

?? To be honest, Roland is really lucky to have Kate by his side.

??He came here today, hoping to be friends with these rich people, but what happened at the scene?

??He wanted to be the same generation as these rich men and be their children's uncles, but the wives of these rich men directly erased this relationship and wanted to introduce their daughters as his wives?

??I know I'm handsome, but being handsome can't be taken for granted!

?? are all members of Quntaobao.com!

?? After Roland greeted everyone one by one, his face was frozen with laughter.

?? Not happy, but numb.

?? On the way to the restaurant, looking at the guy next to him who was about to laugh and cry, Kate joked in a low voice: "I'm not wrong, am I?"

?? Roland understood what she meant, shook his head with a wry smile, and did not reply.

?? But Kate didn't let him go, but continued to ask with a smile: "That Ivanka, who is about your height, is the girl who chased you before? It has changed so much in five years? Do you regret it?"

??Since Comrade Chuan Jianguo can come here with Carl Icahn, how could his daughter not follow?

??As another brand in the family, she is always ready to take over from her father.

??In this case, even after five years, becoming Roland's girlfriend is still the fastest way to take over.

That's right, although Roland is not as rich as these old men, and he doesn't have the so-called old money background, but if you consider the age that is inversely proportional to the growth rate of assets and the appearance that is directly proportional to the increase in assets, he is actually the best friend of all young women. preferred.

?? Rich, handsome, and young.

?? These are the foundations of love!

??After all, if it wasn't for money, who would want to surround an old man and call him husband?

??Unfortunately, Roland was not interested in Comrade Chuan Jianguo five years ago, and he is also not interested five years later.

?? “I bring my girlfriend to the party, not my partner to forage.”

?? Roland's clear answer made Kate very happy, "Okay, then I will officially exercise my right to be a girlfriend tonight."

Um?

?? Countless question marks popped up in Roland's head. He didn't understand what kind of trick Kate was playing.

??Unfortunately, before he could start asking, Roland got into the restaurant and lost the chance to speak.

??With nine core members and a bunch of family members, there is definitely no room for one table.

?? And in this case, splitting tables became an obvious thing.

The men, or the friends of Ronald Perelman with the big bald head, all gathered for dinner in the restaurant on the top floor. They can overlook the street view of New York on the 60 million floor, and the ladies, and In other words, all the family members chatted freely about the topics they were interested in in the side hall. The two camps were clearly separated and did not interfere with each other.

The guys in the old man's district where Roland is located, have not stopped talking since they sat down. It wasn't Ronald Perelman who said that he ordered a $12 million apartment from a friend of the art dealer. The granite statue of the knife is what Carl Icahn was complaining about. Steven Cohen, the founder of SAC Capital next door, spent more than 10 million to buy a shark soaked in green formalin solution. The specimens were placed in his office in a special pretense.

Either Michael Bloomberg scratched his head helplessly, saying that the shareholders of Johns Hopkins University unanimously agreed to let him be the chairman of the board of directors, or Michael Milken took over and said that he was fascinated by education and could go to Johns Hopkins University. · There is a lecture at Johns Hopkins University to cheat some living expenses...

??In short, this group of old men chatted about everything, nonsense from all over the world, and Roland was not worried that he would not be able to get in the topic.

?? But if you really want to tell the difference between five and six, they can talk about topics other than business.

??Whether it is art or environmental protection, whether it is praise or scolding, anyway, there is no word that has anything to do with making money.

But this is also natural, Roland never expects that the guy who can play with the big bald Ronald Perelman will reveal any secrets at the dinner table. In his opinion, the biggest purpose of coming back this time is to recognize Damn, after talking nonsense at the wine table, everyone exchanged mobile phone numbers and it's over. If there is really something to do, we can talk about it in private...

However, when Roland drank so-so, said hello to all parties, and returned to the hotel with Kate, who also smelled of alcohol, and asked his assistant to get a pinch of apple juice to hangover for the two of them, Kate, who was leaning on the sofa, was smiling. Said: "Honey?"

?? "Huh?" Roland, who had never had a drink in his life, leaned there and hummed.

?? "Did you drink there all night?"

?? Seeing Roland's 'aggrieved' look, Kate immediately crawled over, resting her hands on the head of the sofa, her chin resting on her arms.

??Looking at the eyes full of playful smiles, Roland was very puzzled.

?? "In addition to drinking, it's chatting, otherwise what else can we do?" Roland shrugged.

?? During the conversation between the two, the assistant who had prepared for a long time also brought up the apple juice.

?? He took the initiative to pour two glasses, and one of them was handed to Kate.

?? While smelling the refreshing fruity aroma, Roland also asked, "What's the matter, is there any problem?"

?? "Looking at you like this, you haven't gained anything at all?" Kate took a sip of the juice, and the smile in the corner of her eyes was full of understanding.

?? "Isn't it just a meal tonight? What can I gain?" Roland raised his glass and gulped down the juice.

?? After seeing Roland's reasonable attitude, Kate poked out the tip of her tongue, bit her teeth lightly, and showed a look of "I've already guessed the ending" on her face, "Then what if I say... I have it?"

?? "Huh?" Roland didn't understand. He was drinking juice, and his Adam's apple moved up and down, but it slowed down a lot.

Such a move made Kate raise her eyebrows, and lightly revealed a heavy news, "For example, Carl Icahn wants to attack Internet companies... He is targeting Internet companies with high market capitalization, like, Netscape , Yahoo..."

"Cough, cough, cough..." Roland, who was drinking juice, almost choked to death on what Kate said. While coughing, he also put down the cup, first wiped his mouth with the palm of his left hand, and felt that it was not enough, and then used the back of his hand Rubbed it again, and while he was doing all this, his mouth didn't stop, "What did you say?"

?? "No...you repeat? What does Carl Icahn want?"

Note: ? I wrote that Murdoch wanted to break into the New York circle. This behavior has a lot to do with Milken. When Fox TV was established, it was all done by Milken. The reason why News Corporation was able to gain a foothold so quickly is that It is inseparable from Milken's leveraged buyout, because he knows that the business he is proud of is nothing more than using more junk debt and more leverage in front of those jackals, and it can be destroyed in half a month, so Murdoch will Maintain a good relationship with them. Don't think it's an exaggeration. When Google acquired Motorola, it was Carl Icahn who first split Motorola into two companies, a wireless business and a mobile business, and then Google bought the mobile business. Tens of billions of companies are dismantled at will. Without them, Google would not be able to get more than 10,000 patents. Time Warner has also been done by them. The stock price is like a roller coaster, and they can only watch them make money. ? Carl Icahn and Buffett have conflicts. The Wolf King likes to spray the stock **** the most. Back then, the wolf king fell in love with Coca-Cola and was pushed back by the stock god. Since then, he has sprayed each other desperately. ?Michael Bloomberg was indeed friends with Chuan Jianguo before. He complained about this undercover agent after Chuan Jianguo became the commander-in-chief. When Clinton was in office, these people were his advisers. Very simple, Clinton defeated The most classic sentence of Bush Sr. is 'No you understand the economy, but I do'. He has a bunch of consultants who understand.

?? PS, I saw that someone was chatting with me in the background, but when I clicked in, it showed that the post had been blocked. It was the reader who wrote entertainment to death, and I didn’t read the whole content.
