The Best Entertainment Era

A brand new Gulfstream business jet landed at Mumbai Airport. Candice Swanepoel got off the plane with Connie and the bodyguards. After waiting for a while, Ronan, who had finished the phone call, also came down and accompanied him to the airport. go outside.

Seeing that Candice Swanepoel seemed a little nervous, Ronan tapped her tall nose lightly: Enjoy this journey.

Candice Swanepoel smiles sweetly: This is my first time in India.

She looked ahead, and there was a convoy parked tens of meters away, and a group of Indians in suits and ties had already greeted them.

These people shook hands with Ronan enthusiastically. From etiquette to dress to speech, they were basically no different from Westerners, obviously all of them were Westernized.

Candice Swanepoel stood beside Ronan, maintaining a decent smile.

She has an advantage in this regard, after all, she has received professional training.

Ronan introduced the leading Indian to her: Candice, this is Rakesh Rose, President of the Indian Mountain Foundation. Mr. Rose, this is my female companion, Miss Candice Swanepoel.

Rakesh Rose smiled and nodded to Candice Swanepoel, who smiled back.

Candice Swanepoel could tell that the Indian didn't take her seriously.

Mr. Anderson, welcome to Mumbai again. Rakesh-Ross is very enthusiastic about Ronan. The Mountain Foundation has been cooperating with the Pacific Investment Foundation over the years and has a very stable income every year: This time, you must listen My arrangement.

Ronan smiled and said, No problem.

This way, please. Rakesh Rose made a please gesture.

Ronan patted Candice Swanepoel: Let's go to the hotel first.

Candice Swanepoel nodded slightly: I listen to you.

However, Ronan declined Rakesh-Ross and did not get into his car, but got into the car of the Indian branch of Embassy Pictures.

Sterling, the head of the Indian branch, glanced at Candice Swanepoel and followed Connie into another car.

just got in the car,

Sterling asked, Is this the boss' girlfriend?

If so, something is about to be rearranged.

Connie understood what he meant, and shook her head slightly: Follow the established reception plan.

Sterling felt relieved: I understand.

The convoy left the airport and headed for Mumbai's business district.

Entering the business district, Candice Swanepoel looked out of the car window curiously. High-rise buildings emerged one after another, modern buildings and facilities everywhere, and its prosperity was not at all inferior to Century City in Beverly Hills.

It's not what I thought it would be, Candice Swanepoel said.

Ronan asked, What kind of India do you imagine?

Candice Swanepoel said with a smile: In the media, there are some reports about India.

Ronan nodded: I understand. He asked: Is it like this? Dirty and messy, defecating everywhere, the train is full of people, and a motorcycle can carry more than five passengers...

Hearing this, Candice Swanepoel said, Probably about the same.

Ronan also looked out of the car and boat: We have traveled all the way to the most prosperous area, and it is also the wealthiest place in Mumbai and even in India.

Candice Swanepoel nodded slightly: I see.

The convoy arrived at the hotel very quickly. After getting off the car, Candice Swanepoel looked far away. It was close to the coastline. At first glance, it was a bustling area, almost no different from Beverly Hills.

She followed Ronan into the hotel. After waiting for a while, Ronan's assistant, Connie, completed the check-in procedures. The group took the special elevator and entered the suite directly.

Needless to ask, Candice Swanepoel also knows that this is the legendary super presidential suite with a separate elevator, and it is also where she will live.

Ronan went to the study to make a phone call. Connie packed the luggage for Ronan, walked over, and said, There is a special wardrobe for women in the master bedroom, do you want me to help pack the luggage?

No need. Candice Swanepoel had already prepared herself, smiled and said, I can do it myself.

Connie warned: When Ronan is working, he doesn't like to be disturbed. Except for the study room, you can do whatever you want. When Ronan is not around, you can call me at any time, or you can inform Finch.

While speaking, she handed Candice Swanepoel two business cards.

Candice Swanepoel put it away and asked, Is Ronan going to be busy?

Connie said vaguely, There's a lot of work to do.

Candice Swanepoel said quickly, I won't disturb Ronan's work.

Connie nodded, without further words, turned and went to the study.

Seeing the study door opening and closing, Candice Swanepoel pursed her lips. Didn't she say that she couldn't be disturbed casually? Why do you come and go as you please?

But after all, she has some insight. She knows that Connie, an ordinary-looking woman who seems to be Ronan's assistant, is actually a big shot in Relativity Entertainment.

Candice Swanepoel came to the master bedroom and found that Ronan's luggage had been tidied up. After packing her own luggage, she took her makeup bag and sat in front of the dressing table, applying makeup in front of the mirror.

Although she only wore very light makeup, her natural beauty, coupled with her age advantage, made Candice Swanepoel look bright and charming.

Especially sweet temperament, like delicious candy.

After finishing her makeup, Candice Swanepoel turned around in the presidential suite, feeling around curiously.

In South Africa, she also came from a typical middle-class family, but it was the first time she lived in such a super luxurious suite.

The journey from Los Angeles to Mumbai has also been an eye-opener for Candice Swanepoel.

Luxurious and comfortable private jet, any bottle of wine on the plane is more expensive than her film salary in Life and Death, and the three female flight attendants who are not inferior to her in appearance...

Candice Swanepoel turned around, sat on the sofa, and waited quietly.

The study door was opened from the inside, and Ronan walked out first, followed by Connie.

Sterling mentioned it to me just now. Connie said, Do you remember the Falch Foundation? They also want to cooperate with the Pacific Investment Fund.

Ronan nodded slightly: When we first came to India, did you intend to cooperate with us, and finally chose to invest in the Wall Street foundation?

Connie said: That's them. The Falch Foundation has been investing on Wall Street for the past few years. The first two years were nominally profitable, but the companies they invest in always make them keep buying new funds and stocks after making profits. Never came back.

Ronan can roughly guess what's going on: The profit has always been on the books?

Yes. Connie said simply: The funds have always been in Wall Street investment companies, and then the investment companies have been encouraging the Falch Foundation to make new investments. Since last year, the investment has continued to generate losses, and the Falch Foundation The funds returned in the end were less than half of the initial investment scale.”

Ronan is very clear that Wall Street's show operations are only a lot more than Hollywood.

Connie continued: Falch Foundation decided to adapt its investment strategy and decided to focus on stable income investment. The Pacific Investment Foundation has a lot of cooperation with India and Mumbai, and its reputation and credibility have always been very good, so their cooperation intention stronger.

Ronan said: You communicate with Sterling, and I can meet with them in two days.

Connie nodded: No problem. She went on to say: At noon, Rakesh Rose will host a banquet for us.

Ronan glanced at the time: Yes, we will leave on time in half an hour.

Connie didn't say any more. After asking, she took the initiative to leave the presidential suite.

It feels like you're so busy. Candice Swanepoel tilted her head and looked at Ronan.

Something happened suddenly. Ronan walked over and held her hand: Go take a shower and change into formal clothes. We are going to a banquet.

Candice Swanepoel said: Okay, just wait with me.

After speaking, she returned to the master bedroom, took a quick shower, put on light makeup, put on a well-fitting dress, and joined Ronan out of the suite.

After going out, Candice Swanepoel took Ronan's arm directly.

The lunch is on the third floor of this hotel. It is not the rumored Indian food, but a variety of Western food.

Ronan quickly tossed Candice Swanepoel aside to chat with Rakesh Rose about the next phase of their collaboration.

The Pacific Investment Fund and Rakesh Rose's Mountain Foundation have been cooperating closely over the years. Although the Pacific Fund is not the choice with the highest returns, it is the safest choice.

After going through the most difficult stage, Ronan attaches great importance to credibility, which is an important prerequisite for obtaining financing overseas.

Having said that, which of the people or institutions that have invested in his projects over the years has not received rich returns?

Including the Abu Dhabi consortium.

Rakesh-Roth's Mountain Foundation has invested in a lot of Bollywood movies recently, but the profit margins are mediocre.

The output of Indian movies is astonishing, but the market is actually not big, and only a handful can get out of the South Asian market.

Audiences in other regions are not too comfortable with the Indian film dance model.

In fact, Bollywood song and dance movies can fully illustrate one thing, it is often difficult for the nation to become the world.

In the next stage, the Mountain Foundation plans to invest US$500 million in the Pacific Foundation.

The lunch meeting lasted for more than an hour. After the lunch, Ronan declined Rakesh Rose's invitation on the grounds that he needed a break from the long-distance flight, and returned to the suite with Candice Swanepoel.

There is a meeting with Steve Jobs tomorrow, and Ronan also needs to rest and adjust.

Because what you'll face next will be one of the most astute businessmen and professional managers in the world.
