Reborn in America, I'm serious about making money.

Chapter 191 A Movie Built with Money

"Mr. Stephen, they have no intention of sponsoring us."

Daniel, the GG department manager who went to solicit sponsorships, returned and reported to Zhang San somewhat dejectedly. Zhang San was not surprised and said, "It's okay. If sports cars aren't interested, then we'll go with other brands. There's always a car dealer willing to help."

Daniel was delighted to hear that a supercar wasn't necessary and any other car would do; in fact, Zhang San didn't mind that they didn't sponsor him. If they didn't sponsor him, he would disgust them and let them know what it meant to be a jerk.

He then said to someone next to him, "Go and buy these brands of cars. See how many brands of cars our movie needs."

"Boss, buying these cars will probably cost a lot of money, around fifty million dollars," Gildom from the props department immediately estimated.

Zhang San waved his hand and said, "Buy cheap second-hand goods. If there aren't any, buy new ones. The price must be cheap, but we'll use the new ones for the calculation."

He continued, "The license plates of these unsponsored cars will also need to be covered."

Zhang San gave Gildom a knowing look, and he immediately understood. He had been in this business for over a decade. He couldn't work with new cars, but he could still make a good profit with used cars. Moreover, the boss wanted to sell them cheaply. These cars would all eventually be scrapped, so there were many ways to do it. Although he could earn more, there was a limit. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been in this business for over a decade.

Although he didn't know if his boss understood, just by looking at the method of passing off an old car as a new one, he knew the other party was quite savvy. Besides, the car was practically totaled; how could they not understand the trick? This was blatant cover-up! This was a master, a true master. He could only shout "999," why not "666"? In their culture, 666 was the devil.

Gildom immediately contacted used car dealers and scrap car dealers; he had connections.

Sure enough, he lived up to expectations and soon bought dozens of luxury cars of various kinds, then happily reported to Zhang San.

"Boss, these dozens of cars only cost five million US dollars," Gildom reported to Zhang San, rubbing his hands together.

Zhang San walked around for a moment, then yelled, "F**K, Jill, can these cars even start? Can they even run? And can't they be refurbished? Otherwise, someone will find out."

After being yelled at by his boss, he immediately knew what to do.

"I can only contribute another $500,000 at most. Figure out the rest yourself. Also, you need $50 million in the account. You have that kind of ability."

After saying that, Zhang San left. That bastard must have made a lot of money. If he doesn't do a good job, he'll make him spit out everything he's made.

Gildom watched the figure disappear before spitting on the ground. He had nothing more to say, so he had to finish the job.

Refurbishment is no problem for him. In North America, there are many Asian car modifiers. They are very skilled at their work. Parts that originally cost $100,000 can be fixed for $10,000 with their expertise. Just call them over.

He made a phone call and summoned a group of people from Chinatown.

"Hi Lin, hello there. I have a big business opportunity. I hope you can give me a reasonable price, otherwise I'll go find someone else."

The Asian man in his thirties, referred to as Lin, said to Gildom, "Of course, my dear friend, we've been working together for years, you know me, I only earn a hard-earned living."

"Haha... Of course, come with me. I have some cars here. The boss needs them to be operational, and the exterior needs to be refurbished. The price has to be right because these are all disposable items."

"Disposable supplies? Wow, your boss is really extravagant. Now, let my guys check what this big treasure is."

When Gildrom opened the warehouse door and saw dozens of cars inside, including some luxury cars and supercars from recent years, he knew this was going to be a big job.

"Guys, go check out these treasures."

After Lin finished speaking, he and Gildom went to the side to chat and joke around. As for the inspection, that was the business of the guys below.

Inside the warehouse, eight workers began opening the vehicles and starting a thorough inspection.

Eight men surrounded dozens of used luxury cars and began a thorough inspection. The vehicles varied in appearance; some were badly damaged, with scratches and dents all over their bodies; others had obvious collision damage, with bumpers and headlights severely damaged.

The workers jotted down notes on each car's problems while discussing the difficulty and cost of repairs. They frequently opened car doors to inspect the interiors; some cars reeked of unpleasant odors and had severely worn seats, while others were relatively clean. Throughout this process, the workers were professional and meticulous, leaving no detail overlooked, as if they were uncovering the story behind each car.

Half a day later, the men came over with the notebook and handed it to Lin. He began to make calculations, having already learned most of what Gildom had said.

"Most of them are drivable. Some cars can use parts from one vehicle to install in other cars, and you can use third-party parts..."

Lin took out his calculator and started calculating; he already had a plan. However, the calculation process took him an hour. If he weren't in this industry, he might not have been able to finish the calculation in a day.

"Jill, if you need another 400,000, less than 500,000 dollars, I can get you 50 new cars out of these 87 cars."

"Lin, we've been partners for a long time, could you reduce the price a bit more?"

"Jill, we only quoted this price because we're friends. If it were anyone else, it wouldn't be available for less than 700,000. It will take time."

"Okay, okay, it has to be kept under 400,000, otherwise I'll feel bad."

He acquired these cars for less than four million, but who would complain about having too much money? Every little bit helps.

"This person isn't guaranteed; sometimes it might cost more," Lin said cautiously. Actually, he was quite happy inside. After refurbishing and using parts from other cars, he might have a lot of spare parts left over. After deducting labor and other expenses, he could still earn at least half of the profit from this order, although it would take a long time.

"Lin, you need to hurry up if you want to get your commission faster, otherwise the boss will scold me; also, here's an order, you need to start refurbishing according to the priority on the order, and these cars must be drivable, at least 5,000 kilometers or more, I don't care about the rest, anyway they'll all be lost in the end."

"OK!"

Lin readily agreed; in his opinion, this order was fantastic.
