Reborn American Tycoon

　He also tried to tan himself, but in the end he gave up. Ordinary tanning doesn't change, but exposure to the sun is not a good idea. If he develops skin cancer, he probably won't be able to cry.

　The prototype of the arcade machine has come out. Although it looks extremely ugly, William White doesn't care. This is not an industrial product, but now it looks more like a piece of furniture.

　The most important thing is performance, which is the basis of everything. His requirement is that the leather is durable. This thing is not cheap. If someone buys it back for tens of thousands of dollars, and the result is that your stuff keeps breaking down, they will return it. !

　Although it has an appearance, it is not easy to turn it into a product. There are still many things that need to be changed, but there is no obstacle to apply for a patent.

　Including the planning of three games, this is another large number of patent applications.The application of game patents is relatively simple, which is different from software, after all, it is a very mature industry.

　Back on the farm in Texas, life naturally returned to normal.This summer vacation, he plans to relax. He was really tired some time ago, and he felt groggy all over.

　Hollywood has been greatly harmed by him, and they are all recuperating now, and several giants are also planning to try low-budget comedies.From their point of view, the police academy is simply luck. There are too many scripts of this level in Hollywood.

　They can only express their admiration for the hype ability of a certain product.The level of the film can only be said to be good, but the level of hype is very professional. They just made the background wall very unfortunately.

　William White is like a catfish. This rotten muddy pond in Hollywood was easily stirred up by him. Although it is hard to say what the follow-up will be, the rise of White Pictures seems to be in sight.

　This local rich boss seems to be really not short of money. The police school is very profitable. He bought a building and recruited troops. Obviously, he planned to become bigger and stronger.

　If he invests all the profits, the strength of this company will be really extraordinary. Although it is not as good as the current giants, besides the seven giants, White Pictures seems to have a chance to become the eighth.

　It is impossible for such a small company not to be exploited, but this time something went wrong, and the average rate of return of the company actually exceeded that of several giants.

　The most hateful thing is that his cost is still very low. Almost all the overseas theater operators come to the door by themselves, which saves much effort than them.

　He doesn't have a bloated organization yet. Most of the staff are rented out, and there are not many office staff. Adding these things together, he will indeed make a lot of money.

　It's not a secret in Hollywood that it's not a secret if it's less than 1.5 million. People with good intentions are waiting to see the excitement, and the media will naturally add fuel to the flames.

　It doesn't matter if he runs or not, the current practitioners are sad.Because so far, no movie has grossed more than 5000 million this year.If they are outnumbered three times, they do have the urge to hit the wall.

　Fortunately, this guy is planning to make a children's film, which is very good, and they don't want to suppress it in the short term. This guy's destructive power is too great, and Hollywood can't stand it now.

　The police academy is still continuing his madness, and the box office has not plummeted.In fact, this is not difficult to understand, because word-of-mouth is really good, and there are a group of students who are second and third, so it is not difficult to understand this kind of hot box office.

　Some plots in the movie have become a kind of popular culture, and many dialogues have been imitated constantly. If you haven’t watched this movie, you seem to be behind the whole era.

　Young people are always like this. Chasing trends is what they are most passionate about. If you must talk about artistic value, you will definitely be laughed at.

　If young people like it, everyone can accept it. After all, the director is also a representative of the counterculture. It is strange that adults like it too. Isn't it funny?We will too!

　And those two goddamn street thugs dared to ask for 100 million US dollars in blade remuneration.Simply do not know what to say.

Chapter 38 Silver Crazy

　Of course they didn't know that William White had promised that he would use 5% of the box office as a reward, and the crew members would distribute it according to a certain percentage.Not to mention a few more important actors, the extras can still be paid for.

　At first, no one cared about the money. They estimated that the box office would be up to 2000 million, so the amount of money would not be too large.

　It's different now. Even if it doesn't reach 1.5 million US dollars, it is an incredible number of more than [-] million US dollars.

　At first they were worried that the boss would go back on their word. After all, no one had signed any contract. As a result, the company’s accountant notified that it can now be calculated as 1 million, and you can take the money away immediately, and then calculate after the final box office.

　Faced with this kind of boss, others really have nothing to say. They know that they are rushing to the street, so they paid part of the benefits in advance, and the current box office has not exceeded [-] million!

　Pu Jiezi has money, so naturally he won't accept notifications casually, and there is a sequel to the police academy.

　William White's suggestion is very pertinent. Of course you can shoot if the salary is right, but don't ruin yourself, otherwise the sequel will not appear. It is best to learn more and improve your acting level.

　Being preached by others, they may not be convinced, and William White can't help it.They are all veterans of Hollywood, they naturally know that those who praise you may not have good intentions, and those who scold you are often the ones who fancy you.

　In the whole crew, Eddie Murphy was the worst one to be scolded.

　How is the result?

　He is the hottest one right now.

　Although Eddie Murphy was young, he was definitely not stupid. The boss valued him very much, how could he not understand.

　Anyway, the boss has no airs, and he will never look down on black buddies. He greets them in the same way as black buddies.

　The black buddies of this era are far from the status of later generations. Although they are much better than after the war, they will still encounter discrimination.

　"Jason, help me, I need a puppy, preferably a German Shepherd."

　"Boss, it's good for you to raise a beautiful girl, what kind of dog should you raise?"

　"Don't all mature men raise small animals?"

　"I happen to have a litter of kittens at home, do you want them?"

　"One is for raising, and two are also for raising. I want a cat, and I want a dog too."

　"Okay, okay, let me help you pay attention, German Shepherd, right?"

　"Yes, make no mistake."

　"Don't worry, don't worry"

　William White thought about playing with cats and dogs, and the BY market was already boiling, setting new highs almost every day, and almost all the hot money involved in the speculation made a fortune.

　At this stage, the behavior of the Hunter family began to be erratic.

　With such a large amount of capital involved, in fact, profits can be settled long ago, so there is a reason to push up the price with your eyes closed.The current assets of your family are terrible, and they are not enough.

　When God wants to destroy people, he will first make people crazy. There is no doubt that the members of the Hunter family are crazy. Instead of taking profits, they are still building positions on a large scale.

　"Master, if this goes on like this, it may reach $12 a month."

　"Hey, they are crazy. We will slowly reduce the positions at twelve dollars. Don't worry about London, we will deal with them last."

　"That way, we'll have enough money to pay our taxes."

　"Let's procrastinate for now, we still have a lot of time to collect the shares on the market first."

　White Petroleum is still hovering around two yuan, which is an absolutely super value price, just deal with it slowly.

　No one really cares about his company now, not to mention that weird movie, even the software company's revenue is incredible.Well, there is another best-selling novel.

　The 20% royalty rate is exaggerated. It almost means that you can make money lying down. At least you can collect royalties for many years. If you make a hardcover edition in the future, you can make another sum of money.

　Lao Mei has a very good reading habit, whether it is newspapers or magazines, it is a part of their lives.Even if the economy is bad, print publications don't have much of an impact, and life is pretty easy for writers.

　The summer in Texas is really tough. Except for early morning and evening, it is best not to go out at other times. The sun is like a roasted red sesame seed, always dangling on your head.

　Well, when I have more money, I still need to arrange a vacation place. The weather in Texas is really bad.

　I have to say that a bitch is hypocritical. I don’t know how many people envy his rich life, but they are still dissatisfied. Isn’t this hypocritical?

　The so-called local tyrants in the United States actually mean how many people serve you.They are not very particular about food and clothing, and they have no special needs for living conditions.

　Laomei's resources are too rich, except for some extreme years, they never lack food.

　Service is different. After the Civil War, the cost of service has been increasing, and fewer and fewer people are willing to do this kind of work, so the price naturally goes up.

　Although it is very expensive, William White is really not short of money. Millionaires in this era are all successful people. What is the concept of hundreds of millions of assets, as long as you don't play hard, you can't spend it all.

　You say that inflation is serious and deposit interest rates are high. If you are afraid that the bank will fail, you can just buy government bonds and live on the interest.

　"Master, this year's grape harvest is good, and our winemaking equipment may not be enough."

　"Well, it would be nice to increase the scale of brewing and double the size of the wine cellar. The surrounding farms are having a hard time this year, and we can buy some grapes."

　"Master, is the number too large?"

　"It's okay, the red wine won't go bad, and the sales will definitely increase in a few years. We're just saving it for the time being."

　"Okay, master, I'll make arrangements right away."

　He really doesn't worry about these red wines. This is not milk. If it can't be sold, it can only be destroyed. It can be stored in oak barrels for decades. The longer the time, the more expensive it is. But more than ten times the price.

　These are just marketing. The 82 Lafite is certainly good, but the cask winery is actually better, but Tianchao recognizes Lafite. Although the cask is also famous, it is far inferior to Lafite.

　I really don't know how many advertisements this guy has placed. My buddy will say a bottle of 82-year-old White in the future. All movies do this, so I don't believe it. This wine will not sell well.

　The cost of red wine is very low, and you can make money by selling a bottle for a few dollars. Regardless of the bragging of those wineries, it is actually all nonsense.

　Oak barrels with top craftsmanship?

　This shit is still an oak barrel, and the top-level ones are worthless. When did Laomei lack oak, it was all just a marketing gimmick.

　This is the same as Hermès bags, you just believe in this luxury.It's a joke that the cost will be high. A cow that has not been injured is still a cow. Anyway, fools can't stop cheating.

　The sales volume of this top-level luxury goods in the United States is actually not large. If it were not for the patronage of the local tyrants of the Chinese dynasty, more than half of the luxury goods companies would go bankrupt.

　This era is basically the worst era for luxury goods.Life is hard for the wealthy class, they are not in the mood to buy these things.

Chapter 39 Monster!

　After a short vacation, William White went to San Francisco. He was very concerned about this cash cow and absolutely didn't want any problems.

　The sales volume of Apple computers is very good. Although it has not reached [-] units, it is very close.Morgan Stanley finally needs to face the fact that their valuations are indeed seriously skewed.

　Morgan Stanley is basically regarded as the most powerful investment bank in this era. This time, it is possible to be kicked out this time, which makes Morgan Stanley very embarrassed.

　If the Apple IPO fails, they can still watch the joke.But obviously, there are many investors who are interested in this company.Absolutely nothing dissonant will happen.

　This time, not only Joe was dissatisfied, but Markkula was also very upset. If he questioned the distribution fee, Damo would just take it as a joke.The monopoly of Wall Street is much stronger than that of Hollywood, and it is impossible for you to rent an exchange.

　What is being questioned now is their knowledge of the industry. My God Joe has already said, do you really know what a computer is?

　In fact, let alone Morgan Stanley, no company on Wall Street understands.This company was normal at first, and it was barely selling [-] units a month. How could it suddenly go crazy?

　A product that sells more than 1000 million US dollars per month is indeed good, but it is not a very good company.Your market share is less than 13%.

　What's the situation now?

　Not only is Apple's sales up, but other companies seem to be doing well, too.Although the growth rate is not as fast as that of Apple, the increase in sales is indeed a fact.

　What puzzles them the most is how the profit margin has also increased. This is completely unreasonable. Don't you need to pay for such a large promotion?

　Damn, this part of the profit is selling software.

　"Henry, what happened to that software company? How much software did they sell in July?"

　"Boss, we have no way to know the exact data. They are now a private company, and all the shares are in the hands of one person. There is no need to announce these news."

　"Si, why did I forget about this? Aren't they going to round A next year? How many shares are they going to sell?"

　"10%, and no more. Their CEO said that if it is not considering an IPO, this part is unnecessary."

　"Tsk tsk, damn local tyrant, why can't he be poorer."

　"Boss, according to the public information of other companies, they sold at least 600 sets of software in July. Although it was only [-] million, it really cost nothing. They have already made crazy money."

　"Oh, there is such a thing. Why do I feel like I'm listening to a story? Are you sure it's not a Ponzi scheme?"

　"Boss, I'm afraid not. It is reported that Big Blue will also enter this industry."

　"Damn it, with such a company in his hand, the boss actually wants to make some kind of movie, how capricious he is."

　Henry could only choke in silence. People's films are also very profitable. Mao estimates that this product can earn [-] million yuan, which is far higher than the profit of software companies. You are the boss, I just dare not say it.

　"Henry, what expression do you have? Am I wrong?"

　"Boss, his movie will earn at least [-] million. I really don't know what to say about this monster."

　Pfft, the old guy spewed out a mouthful of coffee.

　"Ahem, Henry, are you sure you're not talking about Japanese yen?"

　"No, if there were no movies like Star Wars, this year's box office champion would be theirs."

　"My God, doesn't his family run a farm? How could such a monster appear!"

　Many investment banks are discussing William White. Of course, they all want to invest in White Software. They are not afraid of any valuation now, and it will definitely be more expensive next year.

　Now no one talks about shell companies anymore, their research and development capabilities are very strong.Now people not only sell software, but also business of various adapter cards is very good.

　Well, these are all OEM.

　Another characteristic of this company is that the boss seems unwilling to produce, and they pay more attention to research and development.

　Several adapter cards currently on the market are from their family, and they are all selling well.

　The gross profit margin is also very outrageous, with a minimum of 100%. Although they don't need to announce it, the company that produced it for him is a listed company. Naturally, investment banks can easily obtain these contents.

　The production is handed over to other OEMs, and the sales are thrown to the computer company. This product makes money while lying down.

　The most resentful thing is their attitude. They are very dissatisfied with the current profit margin.If the manufacturers can't lower the price as soon as possible, they intend to throw all the orders to the foot basin.

　Can develop an adapter card, you say they can't make a computer?

　Obviously, people feel that the profit is not enough, so they have no interest in participating.You all can do whatever you want, and we won't earn this hard-earned money.

　The investment bank is indeed having a headache for the valuation. This guy's profit margin is too high. Although he is still investing, it is far from the speed at which he is making money.

　Not to mention software companies, his movie company has people who want to invest.This difficulty is obviously greater. He has [-] million US dollars in his hand. How do you plan to invest?
