America is in control

Chapter 287: Bess skillfully provokes Farona to speak like a lotus flower

Los Angeles, Bunker Hill (Financial District).

Little Landman, the son of the owner of Landman Publishing Company, walked out of a tall office building exhausted with a briefcase in his hand.

After calling customers all day long, his head was dizzy and he just wanted to go to a familiar bar for a drink to relieve his physical fatigue.

"A glass of whiskey!"

Sitting on a high stool, little Landman put his briefcase at his feet and said hello to the bartender.

The bartender acted quickly, and soon a glass of high-purity whiskey was placed in front of him.

Picking up the wine glass and holding his head high, little Landman drank the contents of the glass in one gulp. It was great!

The strong wine enters the throat, like a knife cutting across the tip of the tongue. It is extremely spicy and at the same time dispels the fatigue all over the body.

"Bang! Another drink!"

Little Landman placed the wine glass in his hand heavily on the bar and ordered another drink.

Although his physical fatigue was mostly relieved, he still felt a little depressed.

There was no other way. The old man in the family was stubborn and kept a lot of money in the stock market, insisting on earning the hard-earned money from his own broken issuing company.

I have just joined the job, I don’t have two clients, and my life is worse than a dog every day. When will this kind of hard life end?

If the old man is willing to sell the company and hand over the money to himself, then the future of the Randleman family will be
"A glass of brandy!"

Just when little Landman was thinking about it, a magnetic and alluring female voice suddenly sounded.

His heart moved, he turned his head slightly, and a graceful figure instantly came into view.

Beth was wearing a slim-fitting little black suit, with a bulging white shirt underneath.

The weak buttons on the chest could no longer hold up, as the indescribable thing was eager to break free.

She wore a black tight-fitting hip skirt around her waist, and her amazing curves attracted the attention of almost all the men in the bar.

The slender legs were covered with thin transparent black silk, and a pair of red pointed high heels were like a pair of sharp daggers piercing the hearts of all the men in the bar.

Beth sat diagonally on the seat next to little Landman, her beautiful legs stretched straight and crossed, invading the latter's territory.

Little Randleman rolled his eyes and glanced down. The pair of red pointed-toe high heels were hooking up and down, which made him wander and couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

"Lady, it's a long night and we are destined to meet each other. Can I buy you a drink?"

Little Randleman moved his index finger, straightened his back, put on the look of a successful man, and asked tentatively.

Beth glanced sideways at the other person, the contempt on her face fleeting.

She didn't reply, she just picked up the brandy handed by the bartender and drank it in one gulp.

"Ma'am, I'm not a bad person. I'm a senior investment manager working for..."

Seeing that the opponent can't get rid of him, little Randleman is not discouraged.

He simply revealed his identity, hoping to take down the wild beauty in front of him.

"Oh? How much client funds do you have? How much money did you make for your clients in the stock market last year?"

Beth seemed to be interested. She turned half her face to the side, smiled seductively at Little Landman, and asked.

"It's not too much! It's a few million dollars! It's quite a profit."

Little Landman smiled proudly, and he leaned forward, trying to get closer to Beth.

After hearing what the other party said, Beth's expression suddenly changed. She glanced at Little Randleman with disgust, then turned her head and continued to drink by herself.

"Madam, you may not understand the financial industry, actually."

Little Landman was a little surprised. Does the girl opposite have such high vision? Don’t you even care about millions of dollars? It seems that I have said too little!
However, he still did not intend to give up, and planned to give the other party some knowledge about the financial industry, and at the same time improve his own status.

"Shut Up! Please tell me clearly! I am the SVP (Senior Vice President) of an asset research and management company!"

Beth was a little annoyed by little Randleman's chatter. She took out a gold-gilt business card from the small bag she carried with her and slapped it in front of the other party.

"The worst clients I have have more than 10 million in funds. The money I made for my clients last year, just a fraction of the money, is more than the client funds you control!"

"What's your identity? What's my status! Want to seduce my wife? Wait until the client funds in your hand exceed 10 million!"

Ignoring little Randleman, who was staring at the business card with a dazed look on his face, Beth drank the second glass of brandy in front of her in one gulp.

Then, she took out another stack of 20 US dollars from the small bag and slapped it on the bar.

"I'll take his share! The rest is your tip!"

Beth raised her head towards the bartender and gestured to her side with her delicate fingers.

Without even looking at little Landman, she stood up and walked towards the door of the bar.

Before taking two steps, Beth turned back and reached out to pick up the gold-gilt business card placed in front of little Landman.

"You don't deserve my business card! Loser! (Loser!)"

After saying that, she left the bar without looking back.

When Beth's graceful figure disappeared from the door, there was a burst of laughter in the bar, and little Landman's face turned pale and red.

"Father! We can't wait any longer! The American stock market is getting more and more prosperous, and all my clients have made huge profits in Internet stocks."

In a small villa, the young Landman was trying his best to persuade the old Landman.

"Didn't I allocate a sum of funds to you before? You have been promoted to a senior investment manager, what else are you dissatisfied with?"

Old Landman frowned. He felt that his son was a little too greedy.

"Father, the stocks I selected for you have risen a lot! If you have more funds, you can also make a lot of money."

"I'm not thinking about myself! I'm thinking about the future of the Randleman family!"

"If we can seize this once-in-a-decade opportunity, the Randleman family is likely to become one of the top families in Los Angeles."

Little Randleman tried his best to present the facts and reason.

"But there are risks in the stock market after all, and it is not as reliable as making money through film distribution."

The old Landman was still a little hesitant. He would rather stick to the issuing company where he settled than the stock market where the risks were unknown and he was not very familiar with it.

"Father, you have been running Landman Publishing Company for more than ten years! How much have you earned in total during these ten years?"

"My colleague has a client who invested just over ten million in the stock market. He made more money last year than you have made in the past ten years."

"Money from movie distribution is too slow! Although there are risks in the stock market, according to the current economic situation, maintaining a bull market for several years should not be a problem!" "When we make enough money in the stock market! We can start again by then. "Back to Hollywood"

Little Randleman wasted no time in speaking, and he almost said that he was bald!
Old Landman felt a little moved. He lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

In the past two years, he has indeed heard of many examples of people who have made huge profits in the stock market.

There was even a case that happened to old Landman. An old friend of his sold an industry that he had been operating for more than ten years and invested all his wealth in the stock market. Thanks to the skyrocketing Internet stocks, his assets had already exceeded 100 million.

"Father, this kind of opportunity is very rare. Once we miss it, we may not see it again in this life."

"Whether the Landman family can suddenly become one of the top families in Los Angeles depends on your thoughts!"

Seeing that his father was a little moved, little Landman felt happy and continued to persuade him.

"Well! In this way, I will find a way to loan a sum of money from the bank and give it to you to invest in Internet stocks."

Old Landman raised his head and said what he had thought of.

"Father, are you going to use the shares of Randleman Issuance Company as a mortgage loan? How much money can you lend?"

"Landman Issuing Company's profits are so poor, banks will definitely reduce their loan size!"

"It's better to sell it directly, make money in the stock market, and then buy a bigger film company again!"

"I heard from people in the company that someone has been in contact with you recently, isn't it?"

Little Randleman was a little dissatisfied with the plan proposed by his father. Of course, he wanted to have more funds in his hands, the better.

"You mean to sell the company to New Caesars Entertainment? Have they sent someone to contact you?"

Old Landman suddenly felt a sense of vigilance in his heart, and he stared at his son with sharp eyes.

"That's not true! I heard it from an old employee in the company!"

"It turns out that New Caesars Entertainment is in contact with you! This company's "Looking for the Midnight Kiss" produced last year did a very good job in promoting it, and the box office results were also very good. It should be quite rich."

"Father, since the new Caesars Entertainment Company is willing to take over, why not..."

Little Randleman shook his head and denied the other party's guess. Then he rolled his eyes and took the opportunity to say.

"You don't have to worry about the funding issue! I will find a way to raise it."

"Father, there is nothing you can do if you don't have enough money. Think about the future of the Randleman family."

At the same time, Ronald met privately with Krause, one of the managers of Landman Publishing.

"Hey, man, I know what you are worried about, but your worries are completely unnecessary! The strength of our new Caesars Entertainment Company"

As soon as he sat down, Ronald got close to Klaus in a familiar manner.

"Your company has been established for less than a year and has only produced one movie. Although "Looking for the Midnight Kiss" performed well at the box office,..."

Klaus looked confused, he didn't believe what the other party said.

"Do you know how much our company earned just from the movie "Looking for the Midnight Kiss"? This amount"

Ronald stretched out his palm toward the other party, opened and closed his five fingers, and made gestures.

"Hiss! So many! Are you bluffing me?"

"But even so, who can guarantee that all the movies produced by your company will make money? If your company's capital chain is broken, we people will be unemployed."

Klaus took a breath and looked at the other person in disbelief. Then, he shook his head and added a few words.

"Without this capability, how could our company seek to acquire Landman Publishing Company?"

"Haha! Unemployment? It's impossible! Your worries are completely unnecessary! Do you know who the boss of our company is? New Caesar John, that boxing superstar, earns more than 10 million US dollars per game."

"He is also the major shareholder of the listed company Yahoo, and his net worth has already exceeded 100 million! He is very dedicated to Hollywood. After acquiring Randleman Publishing Company, your treatment will only increase."

Ronald smiled and assured the other party.

"If your company acquires Landman Distribution Company, will it continue to purchase cheap films from overseas and then distribute them to North America?"

Klaus nodded and asked another question.

"From what I know about John, he will never give up on this low-risk business with stable returns."

"I guess he will do some additional work and quietly tell you the news that the new Caesars Entertainment is planning to launch two projects this year, one of which has a production cost of more than 10 million US dollars."

"Man, you have been in Hollywood for so many years, and you have been engaged in film distribution for a long time! Don't you want to distribute a film that costs more than 10 million?"

"Don't you want to create a miracle with a box office of over 100 million?"

Ronald tried his best to persuade.

"Anyone who is engaged in film distribution will have this idea, and I am certainly no exception. But if we fail, will the boss of the company be angry with us?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Klaus's eyes, and he pretended to be calm.

"How is that possible! John is definitely not the kind of person to shirk responsibility. Besides, the success or failure of a movie will have no impact on the new Caesars Entertainment Company at all!"

"Please! John is a billionaire. He can make money by just playing a game. This little money is not as important as you think!"

"With John's strong support, the new Caesars Entertainment Company will invest in more large projects in the future, and even get involved in top-level productions with a cost of more than $100 million."

Ronald drew Klaus' cakes like crazy, and the cowhide almost blew up to the sky.

Klaus was very excited. A top-notch production costing hundreds of millions was the dream of all Hollywood practitioners!
"Well! I hope you do what you say! There's nothing wrong with me. What do you want me to do? I've said it before. I won't cause trouble within the company! I won't put pressure on old Randleman either!"

After thinking for a moment, Klaus said slowly.

"Don't worry! How can we make such a request! We can't use such despicable means!"

"We just want you to stabilize the company's management and core employees and reduce turnover."

"At the same time, we hope that the management will not oppose the acquisition of the new Caesars Entertainment Company. These two points were told to me personally by John!"

Ronald said to Klaus with a sincere face.

"Is it that simple? I thought you wanted to bribe me! No problem, I can agree to these two points!"

"Stop joking! How could an upright person like you accept bribery? Isn't that asking for trouble? In that case, I hope we can become a family soon?"

"Of course! It costs more than 10 million US dollars to produce a movie. I really want to see how much box office this movie can get in the end!"

The two looked at each other, smiled, and shook hands.
