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

According to news from North America, after Zhang San learned from the MCA that his hastily drafted "Human Purge Act" was a great success, he didn't care much. It was only a few tens of millions of dollars, what was there to brag about?

He made hundreds of millions in this series of operations.

After being examined by R Silver's professional testers, this batch of precious metals was confirmed to be genuine, although the purity was only 99.99%, which was not a problem. However, the batch of diamonds was more difficult for him to deal with.

"Afen, close your eyes, I'm going to give you something good."

Chai Xiaofen obediently closed her eyes, and then felt a chill on her neck. Soon, Zhang San was far away from her.

Curious, she opened her eyes and saw Zhang San looking her over as if she were a work of art. She sensed that he was looking at her, which made her a little shy, but his eyes didn't seem to be on her at all.

She immediately realized it must be on her neck. She looked down and then saw a light she would never forget—it was truly light.

It was a white diamond the size of a pigeon's egg, gleaming with a light that captivated her.

Back then, Shanghai was a place where all sorts of talented people from all over the country gathered. This time, he had someone make several diamond necklaces for him. They were made of platinum, and white paired with diamonds looks beautiful, more noble and elegant, and even has a kind of holiness... I can't make this up anymore, anyway, it's just a stone.

Zhang San looked at the beautiful woman clinging to him and didn't know what to say. He had many more diamonds like that.

That night, Zhang San never imagined that diamonds could drive women so crazy, and the bigger the diamond, the crazier they would be. The next morning, although Zhang San didn't have back pain, he was a little unsteady on his feet. Meanwhile, his mistress was asleep in bed and didn't want to take off the necklace.

But Zhang San couldn't lie down; he still had things to do. After sealing the box, he still deposited it into R Silver's vault, not for any other reason than for the sake of safety. He signed dozens of contracts. He didn't want to leave here recently, not for any other reason than fearing that these things would be lost.

Chai Xiaofen also felt that Zhang San was acting strangely, and she advised him from the side, "Stephen, you'll become mentally unstable sooner or later if you keep acting like this."

Zhang San also felt that he was being too nervous, but he didn't want to leave. So he could only do something else. If he didn't do something to distract himself, he would still think about it, which would be very uncomfortable.

In the 1990s, the best things to do in mainland China were to run factories, do foreign trade, and do retail. After the turn of the century, the best things to do were to work on the internet and do foreign trade.

Zhang San thought about it and decided to go into retail. He planned to open a few hundred stores in mainland China, then list them on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, raise a lot of money, and then sell them in twenty years. He would then use the money to develop e-commerce and logistics.

Once you have an idea in mind, the next step is naturally to put it into practice.

Since the first supermarket opened in Humen, Guangdong Province last year, supermarkets have gradually increased in number on the mainland. Zhang San is preparing for two things: he plans to combine commercial real estate with a retail model to contribute to the development of the mainland. The reason, of course, is to increase his influence here.

In the world of capital, money really can buy you anything. If you do something bad, as long as you have enough money, someone will naturally help you get away with it. Of course, doing legal business is even better.

Zhang San asked a headhunting firm in North America to find retail talent, such as poaching people from Walmart, and then establish a retail company in North America as the parent company to hold a controlling stake in a company in Hong Kong, and then start investing in mainland China. As for the fact that the parent company has not been making money, the main reason is... we'll talk about it later.

The hottest topic in North America in March was "The Purge," which successfully broke out of its niche and sparked widespread discussion in North America, while director John Woo also received a lot of praise.

His films have been featured in Time magazine as one of the 100 most influential films, which is no exaggeration.

He spent more than a month filming the movie again, which naturally became very popular. To express his gratitude, Director Wu called Zhang San to thank him.

"Stephen, thank you."

A man's gratitude can be expressed in just one sentence... Of course, that's impossible; Zhang San still wants him to continue making movies.

Although the Purge Act was supposedly made for $30 million, and the accounting was based on $30 million, the global publicity expenses were... $15 million.

Despite being both critically acclaimed and commercially successful, the film did not generate any profit on paper. However, despite not making any money, MCA publicly stated that it would achieve great success in the mainstream film and television industry.

Those are the kinds of things that bother people at the MCA, but Robert will handle them, after all, he's a veteran in the industry.

"Director Wu, you're welcome. Let's cooperate for mutual benefit. I have another film. Could you introduce me to two directors, Director Liu and Director Mai? It's Director Liu..."

Zhang San spoke very politely, which made Director Wu on the other end very happy, feeling that this investor was really good.

"No problem, I'll talk to them."

After chatting for another ten minutes or so, they hung up; the other party must have been calculating the time to call back.

This person is really thoughtful. We can collaborate in the future. The movie he's preparing to shoot is called "New World." The original director and screenwriter said that they were inspired by watching the Infernal Affairs series and the Blackie's Teenage Club series, which led to the creation of this movie.

What he was going to film was their inspiration. He got his inspiration from their future inspiration, so there's nothing wrong with that, right?

After he finished writing it, he only wrote a story outline, sent it by fax, and asked the people on the other side of the ocean to register the copyright. The screenwriting was not something they needed to worry about.

During this period, the company in North America had been registered, and the staff of the company he named Stephen Business Holdings had been found and would be flying from North America to Hong Kong; as for Zhang San, the people there had already arranged office space for him in the Wantong Building in Hong Kong.

That's why they say money makes things easier; anything that can be solved with money will be solved with money.

When they came from North America, their retail team consisted of six people, and another team of six people will be added to their Hong Kong team.

The team of fourteen people traveled from Hong Kong to Shenzhen, and then flew to Shanghai.

The two extra people were Director Liu and Director Mai. They received a call from Director Wu and were preparing to go to North America, but were told that the person in charge was currently in mainland China. This made them feel that they should go and meet this rich and talented big shot.

Coincidentally, a group of people were going to Shanghai, so they set off together. Liu and Mai discovered that the twelve people traveling with them could be considered business elites, making them realize that the people they were about to meet were definitely not ordinary.

And what is Zhang San doing now? Of course, he's buying an apartment. The first residential complex in Shanghai open to the public already exists, and at more than 2,000 yuan per square meter, he bought one building to use as staff apartments.
