"I'm not talking about work, I'm just curious. Zhang, you started out as a short seller. In Siam, Java, South Korea...especially Java and South Korea, your layout is amazing and has brought you unimaginable returns.

So, now you have transferred half of your funds to the United States and started to be bearish on the Nasdaq little by little. What makes you think so? You must know that the Nasdaq is so hot right now, and every stock is very popular. No.

There's no indication that there's going to be a downward trend."

Lucas looked at Zhang Qing and asked with a smile.

Zhang Qing did not hide anything, saying: "I just think that the Asian financial crisis will spread to the United States sooner or later."

Lucas was speechless for a moment after hearing this. After staring at Zhang Qing seriously for a while, he smiled and said, "Are you kidding me?"

Five billion US dollars, just because "sooner or later"?

The earth will be destroyed sooner or later. Should we start shorting the world now?

What can Zhang Qing say?

It cannot be said that Johnson will hit a wall in Hong Kong Island in August. If Hong Kong Island only hits a wall, then when it comes to Lao Maozi, he is directly thrown off the table. After spending hundreds of billions to buy rubles, he has not yet sold it. Lao Maozi

Knowing that I couldn't stand it, I first devalued it by 90%...

Ask around the world, who else does such a shameless thing?

But it is precisely because of this wave of catastrophes that the European and American stock markets have been successfully wiped out.

The Asian financial crisis spread to the United States...

But at the moment, no one can say that the old man who has been kneaded by the West as much as he wants since the disintegration will do this in the future.

Zhang Qing smiled and did not explain anything.

Lucas suddenly laughed, and he was finally convinced that the Chinese boy in front of him really didn't... I can't say he didn't take him seriously, at least he didn't pay homage to the Brown family like normal Americans.

"I am different from the rest of my family. They are either engaged in politics, or in oil or steel. I am interested in finance, but more interested in Hollywood. I have seen "Home Alone" that you invested in, and it was very good. Two movies,

The North American box office is 400 million, and the global box office is 900 million. Wow, you have made a lot of money! You will continue to make sequels, right?"

Lucas is very talkative and smiles cheerfully.

Zhang Qing nodded and said: "However, the company has sold the copyright to Paramount."

Lucas smiled "Aha" and said: "You really impress me more and more. In fact, if this series continues, it will be difficult to come up with new ideas. The box office should be getting lower and lower. Take advantage of the current situation.

Popularity, selling for a good price, and making good friends with Paramount, you are really a smart guy. You will continue to make movies in Hollywood, right?"

Zhang Qing nodded and said: "The filming will start in two days, and the crew is almost ready."

Lucas smiled and said, "Have you ever heard of UFO Pictures?"

Zhang Qing shook his head, and Lucas laughed and said: "A... medium-sized film company, I invested in it. Are you interested in cooperation?"

Zhang Qing looked at him and said: "Except for the six major film companies, the distribution of other film companies is not very good."

Lucas smiled and said: "Unless his boss's surname is Hunter. Believe me, no media group will refuse the friendship of the Hunter family. Of course, we must also pay enough remuneration, not a penny less. But this is very important to you."

It's not a problem, eh? "Home Alone" spent 20 million US dollars to advance the promotion expenses. At that time, the whole Hollywood was laughing at this stupid company from the East, envious of Paramount, and the apple pies fell from the sky.

It fell on them. The result... Haha, Hollywood is crazy. As long as you are willing to continue to advance the publicity expenses, UFO is willing to help you contact major TV and newspaper platforms, as well as the most opening screens. Of course, the premise is that you

Still able to maintain enough creative talent.”

Zhang Qing said regretfully: "Mr. Brown, everything you said is wonderful. Unfortunately, the company has signed a contract with Paramount and has become the exclusive distributor of Joe's Azalea Pictures in the United States."

Lucas wondered: "Exclusive publisher? Why would you agree to such a contract that is detrimental to your interests?"

Zhang Qing said with a smile: "It's a gambling contract. If the next movie can still achieve a box office of 200 million in North America and more than 400 million worldwide, then Dujuan will have the right to retain the film copyright, and Paramount only needs the distribution rights."

It’s very interesting, this kind of thing is actually similar all over the world.

Even twenty years later, the copyright of the book written by the author will still be in the hands of the discovery channel, not the author.

When giants like the Big Six want to find a price for their distribution, film rights are usually one of the deals.

Of course, there will still be some money...

Lucas smiled and said: "Four hundred million...haha, you have courage!"

In fact, only the top three among the top ten American blockbusters at the box office. At most, the top five can exceed 200 million US dollars in box office, and the rest are more than 100 million US dollars.

In other words, Zhang Qing must ensure that his next movie will be ranked among the top five or even top three in North America.

Lucas expressed his admiration for this.

Wall Street capital has entered Hollywood not once or twice, but almost every time it has been deceived to death.

If things in the United States seem a bit far away, then take a look at China twenty years later and see how Ali was tricked by people in the film and television industry until he was left with bruises all over his body.

So with Lucas's family background and financial resources, he only managed a medium-sized film company to get by.

Like Zhang Qing...

It's not easy to say.

According to common sense, pants that are 100% cheated cannot be saved.

However, "Home Alone" comes first, and there are two of them.

Plus those two god-level albums...

There is also the miraculous act of amassing tens of billions of assets in Asia. In short, this is a very interesting person.

"Zhang!"

Naomi suddenly shouted over there. This white girl with some freckles on her face seemed to be particularly enthusiastic about Zhang Qing. Maybe in her opinion, having two fiancées is really cool. She waved and said: "Alice again

If she loses, you have to perform on her behalf!"

Qi Juan's English name, she shrugged at Zhang Qing to express her apology.

Zhang Qing smiled and said: "Let's play a piano piece, a concerto."

Hearing what he said, the eyes of several knowledgeable people suddenly lit up. Barbara smiled and said: "Zhang, don't tell me that you can also perform classical music?"

Zhang Qing smiled and said: "I dare not say that I can, I like it, I am a lover."

Arabella smiled and said: "The humility of Eastern people. Come quickly, I can't wait. I hope you can surprise us again."

Zhang Qing and Qi Juan looked at each other again, and they smiled at each other. Zhang Qing walked to the piano and simply said: "The name is, "For Alice."

"Wow~~"

A group of people felt super romantic even before they heard it and clapped their hands until the first key was pressed...

Barbara and the three people who were just politely appreciating it stopped laughing when they heard the second verse. They stared blankly at Zhang Qing, who was sitting in front of the piano playing the piano, with disbelief in their eyes.

By the tenth section, they no longer see anything with their eyes, but listen with their hearts.

By the fifteenth measure, Lucas exhaled softly, crossed his fingers together, and looked at Zhang Qing with his eyes.

This is such a magical oriental boy.

There is no doubt that he is a genius!

The piano piece, which lasted less than ten minutes, had everyone mesmerized.

After the last key fell, Zhang Qing looked back and saw a pretty face that was shedding tears without hesitation. After smiling fondly, Qi Juan also smiled brilliantly and took out her handkerchief gracefully.

Wiping tears.

There was applause, but there were no whistles or screams.

Very formal applause, including Lucas, the expressions on the faces of the three white girls were somewhat solemn.

Zhang Qing stood up, bowed, and walked down.

Lucas clapped and exclaimed: "Bravo!"

Liu Shanshan laughed and said: "This is the power of love. I don't even understand classical music, but I was fascinated by it just now. Sunshine, beautiful."

Barbara smiled and said: "I saw the snow peaks of the Alps, the sea water around Tahiti, the seagulls, the forest, and the dazzling sunshine. Zhang, I saw your love for Alice, it is so beautiful

, so clear. Please forgive me, if you didn’t have two fiancées, I believe she has the sweetest love in the world and the most perfect love.”

Qi Juan had calmed down her mood now, her big eyes smiled brighter, and said: "That kind of love can only be found in heaven, and we are in the world. I have always believed that things that are too perfect and beautiful will be destroyed.

God is jealous of me. So I am not a perfectionist, and the world is not perfect, so I never pursue perfection."

Lucas laughed and applauded: "Alice, you are so wise, you have mastered the true meaning of life. Compared with you, Barbara and the others still look a bit young. Demanding perfection does not help the quality of life.

On the contrary, it is harmful.”

Qi Juan smiled and said: "Not necessarily, I'm just talking about my life. Everyone's life is different, their goals are different, and their understanding of happiness is also different. Only what suits you is the best."

Barbara took the opportunity to fight back: "Alice, your thinking is much more mature than Lucas'. He looks childish when compared with you."

Everyone laughed.

Zhang Qing said goodbye: "It's getting late, so we'll go back first."

Qi Juan smiled and said: "Next weekend we will hold a Chinese-style party on the ranch outside the city. If you have time, we very much hope you can come. They are all old friends, Anita and Leslie are also

Will come, by the way, and Jackson Sun."

Anita is Yan Ruomei's English name, Leslie is Sun Haorong's English name, and Jack Sun is naturally Sun Kuohai.

"Wow!"

Lucas smiled and said: "Don't worry, I will definitely arrive on time."

Barbara covered her forehead and said: "Dear uncle, you are not of the same age as us..."

Lucas was very dissatisfied: "Which one is younger than me, Anita, Leslie or Jackson? They are more than ten years older than me!"

Barbara had nothing to say. It couldn't be said that those people were just performers in their eyes...

Lucas asked Zhang Qingdao: "Zhang, you will definitely welcome me, right?"

Zhang Qing smiled and said: "Of course."
