The penniless son of the penniless ...

Chapter 265 Picking the English Rose
This statement may be bragging for others, but for Zhang Junfeng, a powerful investment expert, it is really possible! After all, even Nacho Morgan recognizes Zhang Junfeng's strength and means!

And if she could join one of the eight major film companies with the support of a major shareholder, then in the future when there are big-budget movies or potential works directed by big directors, wouldn't she be able to take advantage of her proximity and become a top backup candidate for the leading actress?
(Note: The eight major Hollywood film companies are the eight major film companies in Hollywood, including: Warner Bros. (later acquired by AT&T), MGM (later acquired by Amazon), Paramount Pictures, Columbia Pictures (later acquired by Sony), Universal Pictures, United Artists, 20th Century Fox (now th Century Fox), and Walt Disney Studios)

When she thought of this, Catherine Zeta-Jones felt so excited that her childhood dream could come true so soon. She seemed extremely excited!
As the dinner ended, when Zhang Junfeng invited her to go and experience the beautiful night view of New York together, Catherine Zeta-Jones, with a blushing face, readily agreed.

……

Then they came to the top-floor VIP luxury suite at the Four Seasons Hotel where Zhang Junfeng had stayed before and enjoyed the wonderful night view.

It's just that the two of them started by looking up at the stars and talking about their beautiful dreams. It's just that when they looked back at each other tacitly, Catherine Zeta-Jones, who was a little moved, kissed him actively.

Zhang Junfeng naturally had no intention of pushing the beautiful woman away due to her enthusiasm, and soon the two of them hugged each other for a while.

Witnessed by the romantic starry sky, the two of them exchanged friendly words for dozens of minutes, and only stopped when they were exhausted...

The next morning, Zhang Junfeng, who was only slightly tipsy, quickly woke up and was washing up in his pajamas.

At this moment, a pair of white arms came around his waist. Feeling the amazing squeeze on his back, Zhang Junfeng quickly realized that the person behind him was the "English Rose" he picked last night!
The only difference from her apparently cool temperament was that this beauty, who possessed both Eastern and Western aesthetics, was exceptionally warm and clingy in front of him.

"...Why are you awake so early? Why don't you sleep a little longer?" Zhang Junfeng put down the towel, turned around and looked at Catherine Zeta-Jones, asking with a smile.

"...It just feels a little unreal. We've only known each other for less than two days, and we already have such a close relationship..." Catherine Zeta-Jones, who had completely calmed down from her previous impulsive state, couldn't help but feel a little worried at this moment.

If Zhang Junfeng didn't admit it afterwards, wouldn't she be "given away for nothing"? This was not the result she wanted!

Zhang Junfeng gently held the other person's chin and looked at him affectionately. "Since we have only known each other for a short time, why don't you stay here with me for a few days? As for the entertainment company you signed with, I will ask someone to help you terminate the contract..."

"I will ask my subordinates to open an independent entertainment company with an investment of 5000 million US dollars. I will first place your artist contract in this company and give you a fixed salary of 300 million US dollars per year. In addition, the remuneration for film and television dramas, advertising endorsements, photo albums and other announcements will be split 20% and 300%. When I later acquire shares in th Century Fox Film Corporation, I will introduce you there to be the heroine of a big movie..." After hearing the sober Zhang Junfeng reiterate his previous promise, she completely relaxed. Especially the fixed salary of million US dollars, it can be said that it directly crushes more than % to % of the stars in Hollywood!
After all, these Hollywood entertainment companies are extremely shrewd. If the signed star artists are not capable enough to star in big productions, their annual salary may not even be 50 US dollars!

For those popular first-line stars who get the leading male and female roles, major supporting roles in big movies and big productions, or commercial endorsements from high-end brands, their remuneration will increase explosively, easily reaching hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars. Of course, there are sometimes additional remunerations of up to millions of dollars!

However, all of these, without exception, need to share a certain percentage of the profits with their contracted companies. When calculated, the remuneration for the other party's hard work for a year may not be as high as her fixed salary!

……

Looking at Catherine Zeta-Jones's delighted expression, Zhang Junfeng also had his own little plans in mind.

The reason why he thought of setting up a separate entertainment company to sign and place Catherine Zeta-Jones was naturally because he did not want this woman to be targeted by other people.

As for the fixed salary of 300 million US dollars per year, it was not a big problem for Zhang Junfeng at all! After all, even if a company with 5000 million US dollars only took out 4000 million US dollars to operate with Zhang Junfeng's investment account, it would not be a big problem to make 15-20% in a year! In other words, Zhang Junfeng used the investment profit of this entertainment company to directly support this beautiful "English Rose" in disguise, and the other party was even quite satisfied with his generosity. It was simply killing two birds with one stone!

……

After spending some time with Catherine Zeta-Jones, Zhang Junfeng changed his clothes and went back to his original room.

After some thought, Zhang Junfeng called Mugur Hosking and asked him to help contact and make an appointment with Apple. He planned to meet the legendary figure (Steve Jobs) who created Apple and brought it to the altar.

For Zhang Junfeng, this request was just a piece of cake for Mugur Hosking. Moreover, Apple's stock price has greatly improved at this stage, thanks to the return of the founder Steve Jobs and the adjustment of strategy.

The company's market value has gradually increased from the previous lowest point of 3 million US dollars to more than 5 million US dollars now. This makes Mugur Hosking even more impressed by the foresight of the big boss Zhang Junfeng!
(Note: Apple's stock price rose in part because of the years-long dispute between Microsoft and Apple, which was eventually settled with Microsoft paying $1.5 million and investing half of the amount.)
Before this, Apple, which had been on a downward trend, was almost unpopular and was criticized and despised. Only Zhang Junfeng, a young investor, had a keen eye and invested in Apple, and the returns were quite gratifying.
