Coquettish Rebirth

From 2000 to 2006, housing prices almost doubled, and the six-year trend of historical housing price increases in terms of approximate inflation rates shows a huge difference. …while housing investing has not traditionally been viewed as speculation, this behavior has changed during the housing boom.As an example, it is estimated that a certain company purchases as much as 6% of condominium properties in Miami for investment purposes.The media widely reported that units were purchased while the apartment was under construction, and then “resold” for a profit when the seller never lived in it.Some home loan mortgage companies recognized the risk of such speculation as early as 85 when they discovered that investors were highly leveraged in multiple industries.

Such a scene really reminded many Americans of the Great Depression in 1929.Because in 1929, Miami and other places in the United States were the same as the United States now, with various real estate bubbles!At that time, Miami’s population expanded rapidly because of the relaxation of the prohibition on alcohol and gambling was allowed. In addition, the climate was better, so many people came to travel all year round, which eventually led to the vigorous development of the real estate industry in Miami. Ten households in the entire city Six or seven of the houses were unoccupied—sold off and turned into so-called vacation homes!And out of the 9 people in downtown Miami, one-third are real estate agents!This is really a real estate city, okay?After the economic depression started, fewer people came to vacation and more people sold houses, which directly led to the collapse of the real estate industry in Miami!It can be said that such a subprime mortgage crisis and the Great Depression in 1929 gave ordinary people the impression that the stock market began to plummet, and then the real estate industry exploded and died, and then all walks of life were forced to face difficulties!

So in 07, some media started to reminisce about bitterness and sweetness, and of course some media didn't take it seriously at all.It means that the United States is the number one in the world no matter what, and it has developed for so many years now, and it will definitely not be the same as it was back then.With all kinds of rumors flying around in such a market, Jia Hongjian gradually began to pay attention to some interesting real estate projects at such a time when people were panicking.The first thing he noticed was the one introduced to him by his agent in New York.It was also a property he had been aware of before—the property over at Madison Square Garden.This property is 60 stories high, and it looks like a skyscraper. There are three floors for each unit, and the elevator directly enters the home.Each unit has five bedrooms and three bathrooms. The first floor is directly a large living room and kitchen, and the second and third floors are bedrooms and various cloakrooms.Such a unit of real estate, if it was built and sold in New York City two years ago.No matter what, it costs 5 million US dollars for a set!

You should know that ordinary high-end apartments, the ones with one or two hundred square meters, and the ones with independent elevator access, cost about tens of millions of dollars, and this is still three floors!And the environment is even better!In this relatively high-rise place, you can directly see the Madison Square Garden downstairs!This square garden is not really a garden, nor a square, but the home court of a basketball team like the New York Knicks, which is actually just a stadium.Generally speaking, stadiums in the United States are built on the outskirts of cities.Because the land is cheap, and it won't affect traffic or anything.But what about Madison Square Garden in New York.Because it was built at the end of the 19th century, there was no such thing as a car at that time, so there is no problem in building it in the middle of the city.It was not built for sports, but for various concerts and various political rallies.Such a sports field called Square Garden can be said to be the face of New York!

As for the lower city, the more it develops, the more it looks like the legendary city center.The already full skyscrapers in the Midtown area are now spreading to the downtown area, so the surrounding environment is really amazing!Downstairs is the commercial and transportation center. It can be said that it is almost like building an ultra-high-end luxury apartment in the core commercial circle of Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. What does it feel like?Originally, if this property was done well, it would definitely have a bright future.But the problem now is that the life of this property is not good.Originally, real estate developers had various financings before development.In this corner of the United States, to develop real estate, you don’t have to borrow money from banks like in China, and you can also raise funds in various ways. Other companies can come to invest just like venture capital.But when the subprime mortgage crisis hits, many shareholders will withdraw their investment immediately!Then I found someone to buy shares, but I couldn't find them. Even if I wanted to sell off-plan properties or off-plan houses in advance, I couldn't sell them at all!After all, it is such a market now!Real estate all over the country looks like it's going to collapse, who would come here to buy?Even if you want to buy it, wait for the price to be lower before buying it!

Jia Hongjian is also like this!If an apartment in such a real estate can be sold for 4000 million US dollars last year, it is estimated that you can buy it for a little over 3000 million US dollars now.But such a price did not satisfy Jia Hongjian—who said that if the real estate agent is in a hurry, the price will be lower?That's right, the real estate agent has poured all his money into this building, but the building can't be completed, and there is no source of follow-up funds. They can't sell the off-plan house. Are they in a hurry?And obviously the cheaper they sell in the future, as long as the whole property market does not turn around, then the price of unfinished properties will definitely be so cheap!We, Jia Hongjian, are different from ordinary consumers, we are the boss!To put it bluntly, this house is really an unfinished building. We bought it cheaply...why can't we invest money and build it ourselves?When the building is completed, then such a 60-story high-end apartment will be ours. We can sell it if we want to sell it, and live in it ourselves if we want to live in it. What's the matter?

It's just that he suspects that he has his eye on this property, and maybe others will too?Because New York, USA is, after all, the place where elites from all over the world focus their attention!Among so many talents in the world, it is impossible to have one or two people who think the same as Jia Hongjian?So this matter can't be delayed too much.After thinking about it, Jia Hongjian asked the agent to get in touch with the real estate agent first. He, Jia Hongjian, didn't start, and let the agent and the real estate agent slowly grind each other for half a year and a year. Finally, Let's make another move, isn't that all right?The agency Jia Hongjian found was actually an agency company, not a personal agency at all.So the company is eager to take this kind of work!No matter how you say this kind of work, it may cost hundreds of millions of dollars per order. How much will they be able to draw when the time comes?Even if it's 3%, that's $300 million!For 300 million US dollars, it is very acceptable for a few employees to spend half a year and a year working with developers!

However, it was impossible for Jia Hongjian to focus all his attention on such a matter. To put it bluntly, this matter was a matter of long-term attention to a long-term search for opportunities and then buying bottoms. It was impossible to spend all his energy on it for a long time.After paying attention to this matter for a few days, Jia Hongjian still focused on editing Batman.After a few days of editing, Cheng Long has almost edited all the martial arts. Although the work has been done, he still taught Jia Hongjian who was on a errand to learn about the financial crisis, and he summed up the edited The main points and the main points of the shooting were all told to Jia Hongjian-of course, it was the same kind of passion that one hammer here and one stick there.Jia Hongjian's ability to summarize is not bad. Although Cheng Long's speech was very confusing, he still summed up the content quickly, and tried his best to understand and even apply what he learned.

After Cheng Long and the others edited the film, the whole film was almost done. Jia Hongjian made some minor revisions to the whole, and the sample film was ready.In addition to the lack of subtitles at the beginning and end, as well as the absence of various soundtracks, the combination of this film with the soundtrack dubbed by the movie stars in the studio can be said to be a rhythm of 80% of the finished product.After such a finished product came out, Katzenberg was very excited to see it, and after hearing the description of "Wall-E", the original director Nolan was also curious, and temporarily left his wife for a few hours. I ran over to see how the movie made by Jia Hongjian was going.When he first entered the screening room of DreamWorks, Nolan had a general expectation and positioning for Jia Hongjian's films in his heart. He felt that Jia Hongjian was a more obsessive-compulsive person than him. Just looking at Jia Hongjian Then gradually some requirements for the dark side of society and the so-called logical chain can be seen, so maybe a film like Jia Hongjian will be made quite dark... so that it is slightly less entertaining?

At the same time, Nolan also felt that Jia Hongjian was somewhat inferior to him in terms of literature and art.Jia Hongjian seldom plays with such things as time axis confusion. Relatively speaking, it is more typical for a narrative line to go straight to the end. Therefore, such a film by Jia Hongjian should be a darker and more logical one. The rhythm of deformed Hollywood blockbusters?Nolan's secret positioning of Jia Hongjian's films is not because he looks down on Jia Hongjian or anything.He has a very good relationship with Jia Hongjian, and he just subconsciously thought of such a position.After all, he has not seen many of the films made by Jia Hongjian himself, and the films directed by Jia Hongjian himself do not have such Hollywood A-level masterpieces—didn’t Jia Hongjian just fiddle with one or two low-cost movies in China before? movie?It is said that it is the nature of playing tickets!For a Chinese film like "Hero" that has entered Hollywood, Jia Hongjian is still serious about being a producer instead of a director!So in terms of director talent, Nolan really didn't know the depth of Jia Hongjian.

But soon he will know, soon he will be shocked!After all, in such a film, in addition to Jia Hongjian's own strength and talent, there are also Cheng Long's martial arts design and martial arts lens design, as well as Cheng Long's editing of martial arts scenes in the later stage and Spielberg's advice to Jia Hongjian Editing of Wenxi!After editing like this, Jia Hongjian is equivalent to gaining the bonus of the master's skills in both civil and martial arts. Can he fly without hanging?Can Nolan be completely surprised?Let him experience that is simply a must!At this time, Nolan didn't know all this. Now he was sitting in the small screening room, laughing and chatting with Spielberg and Katzenberg and others about his children, while waiting. The lights in the small auditorium dimmed...
