Taken together, the Westeros system has spent a total of about 17 billion yuan in funds to obtain a 32% stake in Vanke.

Simon really intends to be a pure investment shareholder, so apart from the necessary supervision, he will not interfere too much.However, if necessary in the future, this batch of shares fully surfaced, enough to seize control of this company.

Let alone the potential rewards.

In my memory, the highest market value of Vanke once exceeded 3000 billion. At this stage, the 17% of the shares purchased for 32 billion will reach the value of 20 billion in ten or 60 years, which is close to a [-]-fold return.

This is not turning 17 into 1000 million, but 17 billion into 1000 billion. With such a volume, the return of nearly 60 times is absolutely terrifying.

What's more, this is just the Vanke family.

Simon did not directly answer Lin Lan's question, but patiently explained in more depth: "If you study the modern economic history of some other countries, you will find that the prosperity and even the bubble of the real estate industry are the result of the economic development of many modern countries to a certain extent. It is an inevitable trend of this stage. Since 1978, China’s economic accumulation has been accumulated for nearly 20 years. It is time to enter another stage. The Asian financial turmoil will also become a catalyst for this transformation. Therefore, we will start now Hoarding land, the worst result is that land prices will not rise in the future, and you will lose part of the interest on funds. Given China’s current demand volume, it is impossible for land prices to drop. So, if you really can’t understand, you can take this as a maintenance A capital-protected investment in the Stroll system."

Guaranteed investment?

Lin Lan and his wife looked at each other, they quickly understood and at the same time could only sigh with emotion.

Over the years, the thirst for funds from all walks of life in China has never been relieved. Let’s talk about the real estate industry. Because it has not yet come out of the downturn at this stage, real estate companies in trouble in some areas want to borrow funds for emergency turnover, and the monthly interest rate can even be as high as 30. % scary, my brother-in-law here, spends billions of RMB, but only pursues capital-guaranteed investment.

This can only show that someone has too much cash to spend.

Rich and powerful.

This is indeed the case.

At the request of Simon, Veronica’s half-year financial review of the entire Westeros system has ended, and because many companies or equity investments such as Daenerys, Melisandre, Cersei Capital, Nokia, Cisco, etc. They are all continuously creating profits for the Westeros system. The entire Westeros system only had a cash reserve of more than 600 billion US dollars in the first half of the year, and it has grown to more than 700 billion US dollars.

Not to mention further, but next year, when the global economy is bound to decline, the cash reserves of the entire Westeros system will increase by at least US$100 billion.

In addition, Simon increasingly prefers to pursue control rather than exclusive leveraged investment strategies. With a cash reserve of 700 billion U.S. dollars, under relatively conservative circumstances, it is not a problem to enlarge it to 10 billion through 7000 times leverage. Therefore, the Westeros system The cash reserves have indeed reached an inexhaustible level.

Chapter 1167 The Big Ship Premiere

When Simon welcomed the No. 11 child of the Westeros family in Greenwich, it was already evening in Europe.

Venice, Italy.

The 1997th Venice Film Festival in 54 is drawing to a close.

Just like the 5th Cannes Film Festival where films such as "Six Heroes of Light Pig" and "The Girl Who Moved the Soul" appeared in May, this time the Venice Film Festival also has a lot of topics.

The reason has to start with Cannes in May.

Under the strong public relations of Daenerys Entertainment, the British film "Six Heroes of Light Pig" won the Palme d'Or in the 50th Cannes, relying on the halo of this award, coupled with the hot social discussions caused by the film itself, on August 8 After opening in the UK, the box office has been booming all the way, becoming the biggest box office dark horse in the UK in 8.

In the box office week ending September 9, the UK box office of "Six Heroes of Light Pig" has reached 11 million pounds, equivalent to about 5041 million U.S. dollars, which has set a record for a movie with a rating of 7700+ in the UK.

The production cost of "Six Heroes of Light Pig" was only 200 million pounds.

Considering that the box office of the film still reached 462 million pounds in the last week, and there will be at least 1000 million pounds in the follow-up, it is expected that the total box office in the UK will exceed 6000 million pounds, which is close to 1 million U.S. dollars.

Affected by the Palme d'Or halo and the phenomenal sales in the UK, "Six Heroes of Light Pigs" has reached the highest expectations in many countries and regions around the world. According to feedback from some theaters during the day, the film can be expected to sell at least 9 million in North America.Moreover, in the eyes of many film critics, this film is basically locked in an Oscar nomination for Best Picture in 12.

According to feedback from the UK and North America, worldwide, this low-cost feature film with an investment of only 200 million pounds is expected to reach a global box office of 3 million US dollars.

The box office cost-return ratio is close to 100 times.

No one will deny that the beginning of all this is a Palme d'Or in Cannes.

The award aura of the Palme d'Or has at least saved tens of millions of pounds in advertising costs for the promotion of "Six Heroes of Light Pigs" in the UK, making the film's reputation reach its peak without fermentation.

The same is true.

In Simon's memory, the British box office of "Six Heroes of Light Pig" was about 5200 million pounds. This time, compared with the original time and space, it is expected to be 1000 million more pounds. This is the gain brought by the Palme d'Or.

Moreover, the value of the Palme d'Or is more outside the UK.

After all, it is a film with strong regional characteristics, just like American bad boys movies, French literary films and so on.

If there is no aura of the Palme d'Or, even if the overseas box office will also be a hit because of the UK's phenomenal box office, it will be greatly restricted after all. , the phenomenal box office in the UK, coupled with the highly recognized Palme d'Or aura around the world, compared to the previous historical global figure of 2.57 million, this time the global box office volume of "Six Heroes of Light Pig" is 3 million Estimates at the dollar level remain conservative.

On the other hand, this year's Cannes Film Festival not only created "Six Heroes of Light Pigs", but also "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", which premiered in Cannes, also created an overseas box office record for a Chinese-language film.

There is also "The Girl Who Moved Soul", which won the best actress double yolk eggs from Mia Kirschner and Angelina Jolie in Cannes. It was released in North America on August 8, and it has been screened for the past three weeks. Time, the cumulative box office reached 22 million U.S. dollars, the North American box office is expected to be around 3416 million U.S. dollars, and the global box office can reach 5000 million U.S. dollars at least.

The production cost of the film is 2000 million US dollars, and North America alone has already started to make profits, and the successive overseas distribution will also bring more lucrative returns.

It can be said that in one Cannes, the three films "Six Heroes of Light Pig", "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "The Girl Who Moved the Soul", with a total cost of 4000 million US dollars, are expected to bring Daenerys Entertainment 6 million worldwide. The box office is equivalent to the volume of a super blockbuster at the level of "Tornado".

So, what will happen to Venice this time?

You know, in the 54th Venice Film Festival that is about to pass, Daenerys Entertainment's film lineup is almost exactly the same as Cannes.

Two films are shortlisted for the main competition unit, one is Giuseppe Tornadore's new work "The Pianist at Sea", and the other is "Life is Beautiful", which is written, directed and acted by the famous Italian actor Roberto Bernini. "Six Heroes of Light Pig" and "The Girl Who Moved Soul" at the Cannes Film Festival.

Moreover, the two films have received wide acclaim after their premiere at the film festival. Among them, the premiere of "Life is Beautiful" not only won a standing ovation from the audience for a long time after the broadcast, but also made many people applaud this touching movie. The story burst into tears.

Furthermore, similar to "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Daenerys Entertainment's long-delayed $[-] million blockbuster "Titanic" chose to have its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival this time.

It is today.

Whether it's film and television-related media, movie fans who pay more attention to industry trends, or even the organizing committee of the Venice Film Festival, their perceptions of Daenerys Entertainment are very complicated.

On the one hand, if Daenerys Entertainment can replicate the success of the previous three films in Cannes, it can largely demonstrate the value of the film festival in all aspects.

On the other hand, if Daenerys Entertainment is successful again, it will inevitably give people a feeling that Daenerys Entertainment is the only one in the major film festivals. So, will others still play?With such a huge film festival market, even if Daenerys Entertainment is huge enough, this company alone will definitely not be able to support it.

Lido Island Cinema Palace, the world premiere of "Titanic" began at [-]:[-] pm local time in Venice.

First up is the red carpet ceremony.

Under the strong appeal of Daenerys Entertainment, the jury headed by Jane Campion, famous filmmakers from all continents in Venice, film critics and media reporters from all over the world joined in this film festival.

Because of the positioning of "Titanic" as a commercial film, a large number of lucky fans were invited to watch the movie together this time. The official also distributed questionnaires to fans who had the opportunity to watch the movie in advance, in order to make possible final decisions about the movie based on this public screening. Adjustment.

The red carpet ceremony lasted for an hour.

Near six o'clock, James Cameron, Leonardo DiCaprio and Rachel Weisz appeared on the red carpet, announcing the climax of the red carpet ceremony.

Unlike Xiao Lizi and Rachel, who are relatively relaxed, James Cameron, who has been suffering for more than a year, is now basically in a mood of breaking the can.

Anyway, finally freed.

Leading the male and female protagonists all the way through the red carpet, politely interacting with fans, and cooperating to take pictures, Cameron completely ignored the hoarse questions from the reporters in the media area.After all, since the project got out of control last year, even with Daenerys Entertainment's best control, he still saw too many negative comments about this project in the media.

What can I say now, is it useful?
