Chapter 528 Opportunity

Even if you are unlucky again.

People will always encounter several opportunities to become rich in their lifetime.

Some immigrants after the reform and opening up did miss out on a wave of overwhelming wealth. It can be said that the God of Wealth chased after them to feed them, but they could not grasp it.

In emerging markets, there are always more opportunities to make a fortune, especially multinational companies that are good at taking advantage of information gaps. Nowadays, they are very keen to go to China, Brazil, India and other places.

The goal of this hot money is to harvest, rather than to truly support a country's industry.

Among them, the mainland market is quite special. Due to the complete infrastructure and relatively mature business system, a lot of money does not flow out in a hurry after entering, and a steady stream of high-quality and low-price products is produced. This allows investors to earn more and realize Achieve win-win cooperation.

It is precisely because of the large amount of money flowing into China and the number of companies moving to China that the U.S. manufacturing industry is a little overwhelmed. In recent years, Washington has launched a "manufacturing reshoring" strategy.

It's a pity that businessmen are not fools. They are completely indifferent to such slogans, leaving Washington with no gains in recent years and no real benefits to attract them to return to the United States to set up factories.

under these circumstances.

The news that Suri was about to open an S electric vehicle super manufacturing plant in California was publicly released by Governor Schwarzenegger, injecting a shot in the arm for the American manufacturing industry.

There is nothing to say about the California Gigafactory for now.

From the production cost point of view, the cost of producing cars in California is much higher than that of building cars in China. This time, he was purely because he had invested too much money overseas recently. In order to avoid fulfilling the truth, he was called "unpatriotic" by those who wanted to do so. , does not assume social responsibility" to make a fuss, so I chose to be a little more interesting.

The Gigafactory has attracted the attention of many California cities, hoping that the project can be implemented here, adding thousands of jobs and making the financial data look better.

Suri has decided to place the super factory around Los Angeles and regard this city, along with Silicon Valley, San Francisco, and Hawaii, as his base camp. He will continue to operate it seriously for a long time and continue to increase his influence...

After all, Wal-Mart supermarkets provide more than 150 million jobs in the United States, and are supported by more than one million families. Once the Walton family truly exerts its influence, it can influence tens of millions of voters.

The plan to place the world's second super factory in California is not because California has many advantages.

Lines such as "I am a taxpayer..." often appear in American dramas. If you are a businessman, you like to say "How many jobs have we created" and so on.

As a star, Suri's influence is not bad now. As long as it seems to be over and no one is caught with fatal problems, no one in Washington is willing to provoke him.

the other side.

All of a sudden.

From a certain perspective, the low-key Walton family is indeed something that no one in the United States dares to mess with.

Oscar-winning actor Nicolas Cage, who has been lucky since childhood, came to the Sequoia National Forest Park in California in a daze after receiving the news from Suri himself.

Entering the set of "The Hunger Games", Nicolas Cage realized that he was really lucky this time.

Because this crew set up the scene in advance and created a large real-life shooting location, with countless cypress trees planted specifically to create a maze. If you shoot it from the air, you will find that the maze as a whole takes on a Tai Chi shape.

The weather is gloomy today, with thick dark clouds overhead, and it seems like it will start raining at any moment. After Nicolas Cage got out of the car, he signed the names of several crew members and asked with strong curiosity:

"To make a movie, you spent so much money before it even started? Even in some ancient manors in Europe, I have never seen such a large plant maze. The cost must not be cheap."

An assistant was a fan of his. After hearing this, he smiled and told:

"This farm was bought by Suri in August last year. It was his idea to build this plant maze. He provided the funds himself. His holiday cabin is being built by the nearby lake."

Nicolas Cage suddenly understood. Thinking of Suri's amazing financial resources now, everything seemed natural.

He was a little worried at first, fearing that because of being manipulated, he would have to bite the bullet and continue making bad movies.

However, seeing the busy crew camp in front of him, Nicolas Cage quickly put his heart back in his stomach. The main reason is that Su Rui usually can achieve very good box office results in any project he invests in, let alone this kind of one that you can tell at a glance. It's a big production project.

Well-known actors like to work with already-famous directors, mainly because the risks are low and the likelihood of success is higher.

Facing the oppressive feeling brought by the plant maze in front of him, Nicolas Cage, who originally felt that he was being sold at a low price, suddenly realized that this might be an opportunity.

Now everyone in the Hollywood circle knows that Suri likes to use some outdated actors who are cost-effective. For example, John Travolta, who he has worked with before, became famous for playing the down-and-out pimp in "The Pink Club". Nicolas Cage feels that he should also be able to reverse the reputation.

therefore.

This down-and-out actor, who had fished with Suri in the waters around Lanai Island and met by chance in Las Vegas, immediately showed off his "love for work" attitude and said:

"Please bring me a copy of the script. I want to study it carefully for a few days before starting filming. I don't know why, but the script I was sent before only had a simple outline of the plot, which made it difficult for me to find the feeling."

The young assistant worked next to the director and had already read the complete script of "The Hunger Games". Hearing this, he explained:

"That's because in the movie, you all play a group of ordinary people who are locked up. The director hopes to capture some real reactions when faced with danger. Knowing the complete script in advance will affect your performance."

Take a walking tour of the set.

During this period, Nicolas Cage accidentally discovered that there was a producer from Netflix Entertainment whom he knew in the crowd.

After continuing to ask the assistant around him, he learned that the filming of "The Hunger Games" had not yet started, and the authorization to adapt the TV series had been sold to Netflix Entertainment at a suitable price.

By then, after the movie is released, the TV series project will be launched at the same time.

This news made Nicolas Cage even more excited. The reason is that if Suri had no confidence in the project, he would not be able to make big moves in advance. Other Daju Film Company projects do not have this kind of adaptation treatment.

Suddenly I remembered something.

Nicolas Cage asked again:

"Last week there was news that the chief operating officer of your Daju Film Company personally went to the prison to meet with several notorious drug lords. Is this because he is preparing for a new movie?"

The assistant shook his head and said:

"I'm not sure. The company has many projects and keeps them secret. We don't even see Su Rui in person. Who can guess his thoughts? I think so. This explanation is the most reasonable. We The number two person in the company can never be their fan. Director Christopher Nolan has been to the company several times recently and I heard that he is preparing two new movies..."
