You can't imagine the happiness of the group performance

Chapter 415 Officially Became a Billionaire
On the morning of the 18th in Laomei time, Jiang Yan landed in New York.

He will stay in Laos for one day and go directly to New Zealand the next day.

His first stop was Wall Street.

Two hours later, Jiang Yan and Xiang Yan appeared in a trading room.

Looking at the long list of numbers on the report, Jiang Yan was very emotional.

When he first crossed, he couldn’t even get 200 yuan out of his pocket. In order to get rid of the pimped landlord, he had to ask Wu Yong to borrow 500 yuan.

A month later, he had tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars.

Another six months later, he had several hundred million Hong Kong dollars.

到99年5月1号的时候，江炎在美股的总本金已经有1亿美金，加上唱片分账的话就是1.3亿多美金的样子。

At that time, it was predicted that when it came out in early 2000, the preliminary calculation of the 1.3 million would roughly reach 7 to 8 million.

By September, the total capital has reached 9 million US dollars, because the US stock Internet will rise sharply after October, so it is predicted at that time that the final profit will be 2.5 to 10 billion US dollars.

Later, the follow-up accounts of the "Joey" album, the single "freeloop" and the accounts of "This Man From Earth" poured in one after another, and the principal increased again, and the expected profit that followed also skyrocketed again.

Among them, "This Man From Earth" contributed nearly 4000 million US dollars to Jiang Yan.

"Man" has sold more than 6000 million discs so far, with a box office of 2300 million.

Among them, Jiang Yan has 8% of the share. Excluding various costs, the income of optical discs is close to 3000 million, and the box office also has 800 million income. Therefore, in the US stock market, Jiang Yan’s total cost is 1.8 That is to say, in 99, his income from Laomei, music and film and television was about 6000 million US dollars.

The money has become the principal, which has been added to the "bubble blowing" game one after another.

Today is January 2000, 1, and the Internet bubble will burst in about half a month to a month. It can be said that it is not the top of the mountain now, but it is only a few steps away from the top of the mountain.

And all Jiang Yan's funds in US stocks have reached 13.6 billion US dollars.

Calculated according to the exchange rate of RMB to US dollar in 2000, which was about 8.2, that is 111.52 billion RMB!

After 18 months, Jiang Yan officially became a billionaire!

. . . . . .

The Internet bubble around 2000 was a very magical large-scale reality show. The products and services brought by new technologies subverted the traditional shopping, communication and entertainment methods, and its significance was no less than that of replacing horse-drawn carriages with cars and steam with electricity.

It links people who don't know each other together, lowers the threshold for information transmission, and at the same time creates a large number of new economic companies and rich people with unlimited potential.

Although companies such as Google, Amazon, EBay, and Qualcomm fell into the mud in the bubble, they climbed up again and played a more important role in the subsequent mobile Internet stage.

Those who pay for this reality show are investors who are lost in the "irrational exuberance". Seeing the soaring stocks and the aura of new economy companies gradually lose their rationality and become crazy, no matter how calm they are, they see this The feast will also become greedy and enter this speculative party.

"So, be vigilant when others are greedy, become greedy when others are vigilant, and when everyone shows bottomless greed, you should think about whether you should put your head in ice water for a dip It's gone." Jiang Yan sighed.

Although it still hasn't reached the peak, it's almost there, so Jiang Yan immediately ordered, "Clear the warehouse!"

"clear."

Xiang Yan immediately started to do it.

And the numbers on the computer also began to freeze.

13.6 billion US dollars, this figure looks huge, but it still can't cause much trouble in the US stock market, and the profit rate is less than 10 times when converted to the principal.

In a sense, Jiang Yan is ashamed of his status as a time traveler.

You must know that in 1999 alone, Qualcomm rose 26 times, and there were also 12 other stocks that rose more than 10 times. The stock price of the Internet service company Akamai rose four times on the first day. In short, if Jiang Yan is more greedy, 13.6 billion can be doubled three or four times.

But he also knows that this is only in theory, and many issues need to be considered in actual operation.

Just like the Hong Kong stock operation before, considering the spread, handling fee, deferred fee and various costs, the actual profit rate will definitely not perfectly match the expectation.

In addition, political factors must also be taken into consideration. Although Laomei is really good at this time, Xiang Yan's various procedures have been fully reported, and 13 billion is still a small shrimp in the market, but Jiang Yan is a "comer", he knows The old beauty is dirty, so I have to guard against it no matter what.

Fortunately, the situation is not as bad as he imagined.

So soon, the final figure was fixed at 13.625 billion US dollars.

In 2000, Jiang Yan left the Internet magic large-scale reality show ahead of schedule!
And the next step is to leave a part behind and catch up with this epic ebb tide.

You have already done the upswing, how can you not do the shorting?

Jiang Yan smiled slightly, and left the rest to the North American team, while Jiang Yan, a tens of billionaire, moved to Warner's head office.

. . . . . .

On the afternoon of the 18th, Jiang Yan and Lao Fan met at Warner Company.

The negotiation between Lao Fan and Xinxian has basically been finalized, and as expected by Jiang Yan, the budget of 2 million US dollars prepared by Xinxian for "Lord of the Rings" is completely insufficient.

The filming time of the "Lord of the Rings" series of films totaled just over a year, but Weta Studios, which was in charge of visual effects, spent seven and a half years preparing.

They not only made a very detailed division for different races, but also handcrafted nearly 48000 props.

The props group is even more detailed, in order to create a big green tree, 25 pieces of artificial leaves were made.

So now that the filming has only started for more than two months, the director and producer realized that the money is not enough.

So after a re-audit, including the post-release announcement, there is still a shortfall of 8 to 2.81 million US dollars, and the total investment of the original space-time "Lord of the Rings" has indeed reached [-] million US dollars.

This is a huge gap. Even if it is the Big Eight in Hollywood, it will not be easy to take out this gap for a while. After all, movies are a high-risk industry. A movie can make a lot of money, but it can also go bankrupt directly. , so for a film with a cost close to 3 million yuan, it is natural to invest cautiously.

At this time, Lao Fan suddenly appeared waving banknotes, which was a timely rain for Xinxian.

However, although the project of "Lord of the Rings" is generally not optimistic, such a high investment requires more than 7 to 8 million US dollars at the box office to pay back the cost, which is too risky.

But in the same way, there are optimistic ones, so if Xinxian wants to raise [-] million US dollars, it is only a matter of time.

The original time and space solved this problem in time.

Fortunately, Jiang Yan's side has a good advantage. Warner Henry and Lao Fan both know the boss of Xinxian, and Jiang Yan's people are stupid and rich, so they quickly finalized the cooperation.

8000 million investment, 25% share, seems to suffer, but in fact, according to the unspoken rules of outsiders entering the market, this is already a good figure.

This kind of unspoken rule is very common in the domestic Jinyuan era. For example, someone invested 5000 million yuan in a movie directed by a famous director, but the share is calculated as 3000 million yuan. Anyone who understands the extra ones can understand it.

Lao Fan was actually a little hesitant about this investment, not because of unspoken rules, but because he thought it was because of his words that Jiang Yan invested so much.

He does think that "Lord of the Rings" will make money, but it's not 100%. After all, who can guarantee the future?

And with one word from him, Jiang Yan spent 8000 million, or US dollars. This is a heavy trust in him, but it really scared him, and he felt a little sorry for this trust.

Jiang Yan said don't worry, he has money, so let him rest assured.

But how can Lao Fan be completely at ease?
So he is determined to make New Line and "Lord of the Rings" his No. [-] nest in the next one or two years, and he has to go over the future accounts in person, so as not to let others mess around.

Jiang Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he couldn't stop him, so he simply said, Lao Fan, why don't you set up a North American or global distribution company, and you can take over the works of Stars and Seas in the future.

This can be regarded as a benefit to Lao Fan. In the future, Jiang Yan's films will not be less. Lao Fan Guang can earn a lot with the intermediate profits from distribution. If he doesn't want to take intermediate profits, he can just take shares.

As for this approach, in fact, there is a similar character in Xiangjiang who has done a lot. He is called Jiang Zhiqiang or something. He has become the number one boss by distributing Asian movies all over the world.

Jiang Yan thinks that if Lao Fan really works hard, he can be stronger than Jiang Zhiqiang. After all, Lao Fan has great energy, and Jiang Yan's future works will not lack in quality. It can be said that Lao Fan's starting point is higher than Jiang Zhiqiang. I don't know where to go.

At the same time, Jiang Yan can also obtain a global distribution channel.

In this way, in the future, Stars and Seas will have theaters in the mainland, as well as stable foreign channels, coupled with stable output of works, Asia may be able to be number one.

After thinking about it all night, Lao Fan said to Jiang Yan with dark circles under his eyes: "I know you, I really don't know if it's bad luck or luck, hey, I say goodbye to leisure life!"

"Welcome to Star Ocean!" Jiang Yan stretched out his hand in welcome.

"Bullshit, didn't I already be, oh, I used to be an outsider?" Lao Fan slapped him away.

"Oh, there must be a sense of ritual in life."

"Fart's sense of ritual, let me agree with you first, you have to guarantee my vacation time, this is sacrosanct!"

"Understood, I will buy an island later, and I will give you a pension in the future."

"Boy, I'm only 51! You look down on me too much!"

"Okay, okay, then hire ten or eight more maids."

"...Fuck you...don't give me Southeast Asia, and Africa..."

"Hahaha..."

The two came to Warner headquarters in a fight.

An hour later, under the witness of Warner Henry and lawyers, Jiang Yan signed an investment agreement with New Line.

And the next step is to make money, this is not a big problem, he is now a billionaire!

Two hours later, the matter was settled, and Lao Fan went straight back to sleep without asking a word about where Jiang Yan got his money from.

And Jiang Yan stayed to chat with Warner Henry about the 2000 music project.

On the afternoon of the 19th, Jiang Yan set off for New Zealand with a small follower, and the small follower was naturally Sissi.
