Best Actor

    "When I think of being busy until September before I can rest, a feeling of powerlessness will come to my mind, making people not want to do anything." Sean, who was trapped in it, said in a sullen voice, looking in a bad mood.

    "On the bright side, Sean, at least there is only one movie left. After finishing this movie, you can rest as much as you like." Galen comforted as always.

    "I know, but...from July last year to now, for more than a year, I haven't stayed in the crew for a month." Sean finally raised his head, suffering a picture Face said, "And now there is at least a month before I can completely relax. Just thinking about it makes my scalp tingle. This is about to become the last straw."

    "I think you asked for it. You shouldn't have promised so much in the first place. At least like "Fast and Furious 2", you can give up." Sanders sprinkled his wounds as always. Salt.

    Sean immediately glared at him, but unfortunately the latter walked out as if he didn't see it at all: "I went to the door to see, Neil said that there is good news to inform you in person, he should be there. "

    As soon as the voice fell, the doorbell rang, and Neil appeared in front of Sean and the others a few seconds later.

    "Hey, guys, how are you doing? Did you miss me?" The boy asked with a bright face, looking very excited, and in a suit like Frederick, a pair of The style of successful people.

     "Not at all." Sean, who was crawling on the sofa, replied unceremoniously.

    "That's such a sad answer, it breaks my heart." Neil made an exaggerated expression, then cried out with a fuss, "Hey, I said Shaw Well, why are you crawling on the sofa like this, even if you want to learn bats, you should hang upside down on the wall, right?"

    "I play Batman, not Bat!" Sean rolled his eyes at him and finally got up from the sofa, while Galen brought a few glasses of water.

    "Of course, of course, I know, I've seen the TV reports." Neil excitedly took it over, "I have to say, you are so handsome, so suitable for Batman, back then Getting this role was the right decision! I can't wait for the movie to come out!"

    Well, he's also a fan of DC Comics, and a fan of Batman, but...that's a little too exciting, right?

    "Okay, Neil, can't you calm down? What's going on today? I'm so excited that I'm smoking marijuana." Sean said with a frown.

    "Okay okay, I'm just happy, although I didn't catch up, which is a pity, but still a lot of profit." Neil is still a little incoherent, at least when they see Sean Come this way.

    However, he took a deep breath, straightened his face, controlled his emotions, and put on a smile: "Congratulations, Sean, I came here to let you know that your vision has been gained again. Prove that you are now super rich!"

    "I was originally a super rich man." Sean rolled his eyes in disapproval, the production company plus real estate plus various copyrights and those equity interests, he is now worth at least two or three billion or even three or four billion , that is, there is not much liquidity.

    "No no no, Sean, you're not," Neil shook his finger, as if he was in control, "You used to be rich, now you are super rich— Don't you know, Google went public a few days ago, on August 15th."

    "Oh?" Sean raised his eyebrows.

      Take a quick look at the statement to determine the balance—accounting is still quite competent—and ask Galen or Sanders to check it out. Of course, it is still necessary to conduct a detailed inspection in person, but he intends to wait for this busy time to pass. He didn't expect Neil to come to tell him now that Google is listed.

    "Okay, so how much did I make." Sean asked in a relaxed tone, holding up the cup in his hand.

    "Let me think...about $1.8 billion." Neil, who also held the cup, quickly gave the answer.

    "Pfft!"

    "Pfft!"

    "Pfft!"

    Sean, Galen, and Sanders squirted water out of their mouths almost at the same time, then looked at Neil in disbelief, and asked in unison, "What?!"

    "Damn!" Neil yelled in exasperation, and his voice became a little sharp because he was too annoyed, like a woman, jumping up and looking for a tissue in his own Rubbing his face and body, "Damn it, this is a dress I just made to order and cost over $10,000!"

    "If I really have 1.8 billion assets, I can compensate you for 100 pieces!" Sean couldn't care less, "So sit down with me and explain it honestly."

    "I'm not a prisoner..." Although Neil said this, he sat down, but his face was a little resentful, "What else should I explain, that is, Google went public, and its market value reached 200 that day. 100 million, and it is still rising, the equity in your hand is naturally worth 1.8 billion."

      There should be a memory. However, even so, he always believed that even if Google developed like this, it would be more than ten years later, and the investment of more than 20 million was enough to have ten times the profit after the listing, and he was not greedy at all.

    However, Neil now tells him that the listed Google has a market value of 20 billion directly, and it is still rising, and he already has 1.8 billion assets or more... To use old-fashioned words To describe it, it was like dropping a big pie from the sky, the huge gravitational potential energy was converted into kinetic energy, and he was knocked unconscious in an instant.

    This is 1.8 billion US dollars, not 1.8 billion yen, not 1.8 billion baht, and not 1.8 billion Zimbabwean dollars! In Hollywood, if only actors are counted, according to various financial media reports, the richest people, such as two Toms, Hanks and Cruise, have assets of 8.9 billion.

    Even if you add directors and producers, there will be two more on them, George Lucas and Steven Spielberg, the former owns Industrial Light and Magic and has " The copyright of "Star Wars" is worth around 4 billion, the latter is a shareholder of DreamWorks, plus the copyright of a series of well-known works, about 2 billion.

    And Sean's stake in Google alone is worth 1.8 billion and growing, plus production companies and other assets, basically as rich as Spielberg.

    Even if he cashed in, it would be a lot less, but on the surface, it is true, he can indeed enter the ranks of the super rich now.

    "Of course," Neil spoke again at this time, "many people are optimistic about Google's prospects, so the stock will appreciate very quickly. I bought some early with a little relationship and sold it after half a year. It's going to make a lot of money, and it's a shame there wasn't that much money to put in with you at the time. But if you're going to do an additional issue later, you're going to be diluted—in fact, it's been diluted."

    "I remember there was an agreement..." Sean said thoughtfully.

     "Yes, there is an agreement, your representative is still on the board, but after this round, your equity can be maintained at about 5%. It is already very good." Neil said quickly.

    "Okay, it looks like I have to keep putting money into it." Sean, who finally returned to normal, said this.

    "Are you still putting money in?" Neil widened his eyes.

    Not only him, but Galen and Sanders, who had managed to recover from the shock, also showed a surprised look.

    "Of course, Google will only get stronger and stronger. I can still guarantee a position on the board of directors now, which does not mean that I will be able to do so in the future." Sean nodded.

    Since Google gave him such a surprise, and the prospects are still so bright, what if you don't take the opportunity to plan well. And in the future when Internet communication is becoming more and more important, Google will also be of great help to his acting career, just as he threatened New Line at the beginning, so the identity of Google's director must be preserved no matter what, but the problem and trouble is...

    "You think about it, Sean, Google doesn't pay dividends." Neil reminded.

     "Yes, I know." Sean replied with some headache.

    Here's the problem, God knows why Google has this rule and it's accepted. If the dividend cannot be distributed, it means that Sean has almost no income on it. Apart from the value of the equity itself, if he has to invest money in it, it will only make him more burdened.

    "At present my equity will not be diluted too much, I can guarantee that I will continue to stand on the board of directors, right?" Sean asked this question, and after getting a positive answer from Neil, he immediately asked Dao: "I need new investment targets, do you have any good suggestions?"

    To increase your stake in Google, you don't have to invest money, invest in other IT industries, and then let Google value it and make acquisitions in exchange for equity is a number method.

    Of course, this is a bit idealistic. It is also a good way to invest in the IT industry with good prospects and make a steady profit, and then invest in Google. If one is not enough, just make a few more, and Neil has helped him make some money in this area before, such as Amazon, such as Yahoo, and his vision should be fine.

    "How can it be that easy." Neil shook his head at this time, "Although there are still various ideas emerging in the IT industry, there are not many worth investing in."

    "Angel investment." Sean asked after thinking about it.

    Angel investment refers to those rich people who have spare money and are bored, invest their money in those companies that are not favored by venture companies, and then sell them to others for a small profit after they develop Pen, because the investment generally does not exceed 1 million, so even if you lose, you will not lose too much.

    "Too little." Neil shook his head, "Even if every investment is 1 million, it can double or even double the profit, but it is too little, you want to keep For Google's shares, an investment must be at least 10 million yuan."

    Sean frowned, he had already estimated this question: "Is there really none?"

    Seeing his appearance, he probably wanted to comfort him. Neil jokingly said, "Well, Harvard is now popularizing a social networking site, maybe you can try it."
