The American Kill Line: I Can Predict the Future
Chapter 83, Section 1: Chase Manhattan Plaza
Taylor left the next day.
Very crisp.
The first thing she did upon arriving in Australia was to announce her breakup with her super-rich boyfriend.
He also stated that he would compose a theme song for the new film "The Great Gatsby".
It immediately caused a sensation across the entire internet.
Taylor was already quite famous, especially among young people.
Taylor's popularity soared to its peak when news broke that she would be playing Daisy in "The Great Gatsby".
Therefore, those who follow her are extremely curious about the identity of this super-rich person.
Assistant Fang Wei came in with a laptop and informed him of the news.
There is no information about Taylor's boyfriend on social media.
There is only one group photo taken in Los Angeles previously.
This photo was taken by Taylor with her mobile phone at the time.
"What a willful girl."
This marks Ron's first appearance in the media.
This was also the first time he had been so openly dumped by a woman since he became a tycoon.
This made Ron somewhat unhappy.
Not only did they break up without saying goodbye, but they also exposed it.
Fang Wei tentatively asked, "Sir, should we inform the media?"
He meant whether or not they should try to influence the public relations efforts.
Taylor's identity as a super-rich man is now being discussed all over the internet.
Taylor's fans, in particular, have already started doxxing her.
Ron shook his head: "Never mind, let her do it."
He pondered for a moment, then said, "Call the producer and ask him to pass on a message to Taylor: 'Could you pick a better picture? You made me look so ugly.'"
Because of Taylor's capriciousness, Ron's phone was ringing off the hook.
They are all shareholders of the fund, and others who want to join.
"Hahaha, kid, you're a real disgrace to us Texas people, getting dumped by a little singer."
"Ron, my friend, don't be angry. I think there's something I can do for you."
"She's so ungrateful. Do you need my help?"
"No one can insult my friend. Just you wait, Ron."
Ron, annoyed, advised them one by one, "Damn it, this is a game for young people, don't get involved, okay?"
Musk called too, "Ron, want me to come over for a drink?"
You can tell he's very happy right now.
"roll!"
Ron rubbed his forehead.
The phone rang again; it was Jessica calling.
"My dear husband, your Miss Alba needs you."
Thinking it was the weekend and he had nothing to do, Ron agreed: "OK, I'll send a plane to pick you up."
"wait for me."
……
Taylor, who was far away in Australia, noticed that the way people were looking at him was strange as soon as he arrived on set.
Some people gloated, while others were disdainful.
Almost everyone knows that Taylor was forced into the position by wealthy individuals who simply paid money to get her in.
Now that he's been dumped by a tycoon, many people think Taylor won't stay here for long.
Taylor didn't seem to care much about it.
Actually, her agent had advised her that even if she wanted to break up, it would be best to wait until the filming was finished.
But Taylor refused.
She worried that the more she got involved, the more likely she would actually marry this man.
Things are fine as they are now; now we can just relax and wait for her Daisy to arrive.
What should I do if I don't get pregnant?
Let's go try again.
Just as Taylor was putting on her makeup, the producer walked over.
Taylor was immediately delighted after hearing this. She took out her phone and dialed Ron's number.
The phone rang for quite a while before it was answered.
After the call connected, Taylor spoke on speakerphone, instructing the makeup artist to continue applying makeup.
"You still have the nerve to call? What, do you want to break up in person?"
"Don't be so stingy, my Mr. Gatsby," Taylor said with a smile. "Next time I'll just pick a better-looking one."
"You want a next time?"
"Don't you love Daisy anymore?!" Taylor asked in a mocking tone, feigning pitifulness.
"Is there anything else? If not, I'm hanging up. You're keeping me from making big money."
"What a heartless man." Taylor blew a kiss towards the phone. "You go ahead and get busy. See you in a year."
Ron on the other end of the phone paused for a moment, then said, "Don't you like the Bahamas? Go on vacation after filming this movie, or go back to New York, it's up to you."
"I'll think about it."
Taylor said proudly.
The two don't look like they've broken up at all.
The actors in the dressing room immediately abandoned their contemptuous attitude.
In the study of the villa, Ron continued his conversation with JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon about buying the property:
"Jamie, I really like First Chase Manhattan Plaza, but $7 million is too high. You should know that the market isn't doing so well right now, otherwise you wouldn't have withdrawn your listing last year."
Ron really liked this 60-story landmark building.
The problem is that this building was formerly the headquarters of JPMorgan Chase.
Although in recent years, the headquarters has moved to Park Avenue in Midtown.
However, some of the business is still located in this building.
Therefore, nearly 60% of the space was previously used by JPMorgan Chase and is currently still idle.
Ron will have to spend extra money to renovate it and then find a place to rent it out.
This process resulted in significant losses.
Most importantly, the $7 million exceeded market expectations.
This 60-story building has a total area of 220 million square feet, and the current rent is about $40 per square foot.
Excluding the space used by the owner, the annual rent is approximately $7000 million to $8000 million.
Theoretically, you can break even in ten years.
In reality, there are also costs for taxes, insurance, maintenance, management, intermediaries, and public utilities.
Unless housing prices surge in the future, it will take at least fifteen years to break even.
Jamie Dimon sipped his coffee, pondered for a moment, and said, "OK, $6.7 million, that's the bottom line, otherwise we'd rather leave it. Also, we want to use the 10 floors in the lower-middle section for ourselves for 3 years, and an 8% stake in Hunter Capital's new fund."
"8% is impossible, you should know, Jamie. Next year's new fund will be even more competitive, and much larger. I can only offer a maximum of 5%, that's the most. The specific allocation will be decided later. If you recommend it to clients, the list must be personally reviewed by me. Also…"
Ron leaned back into the plush sofa: "I plan to use this building as collateral for a 60% loan from JPMorgan Chase. It won't be long, three years will be enough. What's the lowest annual interest rate you can offer?"
Jamie Damon seemed quite satisfied at first, but his face darkened at the end. "Ron, you shouldn't be short of money now, right?"
"Of course I'm broke," Ron began to complain about being poor. "I invested in a huge oil field in Texas, and recently I acquired a large sand mountain, and I'm going to build a factory on it. These projects are money-devouring beasts; I'm already thinking about getting my dividends early."
This tactic was learned from Blackstone: the debt is transferred to the building, and the interest is paid from the rent.
With the extra 300 million dollars, I can do a lot of things now.
Jamie Diamond pondered for a long time: "2% annual interest rate, that's the lowest."
Ron raised his coffee cup: "Thank you!"
Jessica arrived in New York that evening.
She landed three big-budget productions in one go, including playing Captain America's girlfriend, Peggy Carter, in "Captain America".
Filming just wrapped up last week, and this character will make a brief appearance in the upcoming Avengers movie.
And then there's "The Amazing Spider-Man," which will be filmed next month; that's a truly heavyweight role.
Jessica plays Spider-Man's girlfriend.
The pay for the three films was not high, roughly the standard for a second-tier actress.
This is only because Ron is the sugar daddy.
After all, Jessica hasn't had any outstanding works in recent years.
However, these three films represent completely different commercial values.
After learning that she had starred in three superhero movies, many top brands offered her endorsement contracts.
Jessica knew perfectly well who was responsible for all of this.
She was even more aware that, given her age and the fact that she had already had a child, she wasn't very competitive in Hollywood, where beautiful women were everywhere.
The only thing he had was the impression he had of Ron when he was young and poor.
So when she learned that Ron had been "dumped," she dropped everything and rushed over immediately.
There were no unnecessary words when we met.
Just as she was about to rush into the entryway, Jessica asked, "My dear husband, my ex-husband wants to remarry me. Tell me, should I say yes?"
Ron was instantly enraged: "You'll have to ask your Miss Alba whether she wants a younger husband or a older one."
"Don't worry!" Jessica said confidently.
"My dear husband, what are you waiting for? Come on, your Miss Alba can't wait to transform again!"
