408 Liu Xuan said--to have money

"Maybe you have made some associations between these two things, and maybe you have thought of some answers... Yes, I want to start a magazine by myself. That's why I resigned.

Zhang Chen held his chin and whispered gently on the table in the cafe: "Are you sure? Are you looking for me today...?"

Liu Xuan said, "When it comes to certainty, I'm not too sure. This time, I basically work alone. I found some members of the temporary editorial department. Except for an experienced one, all the other people are graduated college students. So I'm not sure, but I'm full of enthusiasm.

When Zhang Chen heard this sentence, he said puzzledly, "Why did you suddenly have this idea? After coming to the United States for so long, I finally understand that many times you really can't integrate into this country. From the perspective of a Chinese, many people in this country are strange people. Many times I didn't expect them to think so, which is completely contrary to our understanding... Speaking of this, Zhang Chen paused. In fact, he had already felt that he was out of place with this country in many places, but he didn't want to change too much.

"I also know what you said. There are many differences in our way of thinking, but I feel that I am gradually integrating into this society now. It is completely my own ambition to start this magazine. In this country, there will not be too many obstacles for me to start a magazine or something, but if I go back to China... ...You know it."

Zhang Chen nodded: "Well, then you should talk about the purpose of looking for me, right?"

Liu Xuan smiled shyly and then said, "You guessed right. I really want to ask you for help. The thing for your help is that our magazine is about to be established, but there is a shortage of funds. I hope you can make an investment so that we can get through this most difficult period. Time."

"Well, let alone the investment. I'll lend it to you privately. As a magazine, you can't use my annual salary for a year, can you?"

"Don't worry..." Liu Xuan quickly waved his hand and then said, "I asked you to invest as a representative of our company today, not to borrow money from you, so I will show all the advantages and disadvantages of our magazine to persuade you. It's another thing if you agree or disagree."

"Well, I also want to hear your reason."

Therefore, Liu Xuan explained Zhang Chen to their magazine called "Basketball Time" to a certain extent, and pointed out the country, saying that he wanted to build a grand blueprint for a beautiful empire in the future. Of course, Zhang Chen also heard that "Basketball Time" really has a feasible surname. Most importantly, he can also become a shareholder and the honorary editor-in-chief of that magazine. These conditions are not bad, and Zhang Chen can now control 40% of the shares, which is also very good. It sounds like Liu Xuan said something, but he really has something to do.

Liu Xuan said that his mouth was dry. Finally, he looked up at Zhang Chen, and then asked, "How do you feel?"

"Oh..."

"Your feeling is 'Oh'?" Liu Xuan was about to collapse, but it seemed that Zhang Chen was really thinking, because his ten fingers were crossing. A long time later, he said, "I think it's feasible. I just thought about your marketing model, and it's really good, but you are so unkind that you let me invest in you and use my reputation. Make the name of this magazine... What a calculation!"

Liu Xuan was a little embarrassed: "This is a win-win situation. Being an honorary editor-in-chief here can also make fans know you better, and you can also get more likes. Moreover, our goal is to gradually develop into a media group and enter the cultural industry. I think you should also know what it contains. All kinds of benefits."

Zhang Chen said, "I also know about the win-win situation, but if this magazine is ruined by you, it will not be a win-win situation, but a win-win situation! But I still promise you that after being friends with you for so long, I think you should have that ability. Then tell me, how much money do you want me to invest?

"500,000 US dollars, this is the initial investment budget, and it may be added later. Of course, when the investment budget is added, we will automatically give up some other shares. What do you think?"

"500,000 is 500,000 yuan. Anyway, it's not too much. Just take it as a venture investment! You have to grasp it well!"

"That's natural. We have made a final say today. Maybe a huge media group will be born here. To be honest, your money is also lying in the bank. Have you ever thought about taking that money to make money? If you put it in the bank like this, that little interest is enough for what you eat?

"Uh..." Zhang Chen spread out his hands: "I really haven't thought about this problem. If money is enough, it will be enough. I can earn money that I can't use up all my life in a year now. Why do I have to make money? Money may lose money. At that time, I will lose all my underwear!" Zhang Chen asked Liu Xuan strangely, but made Liu Xuan a little hateful: "You, you, look at your old opponent, the little emperor James. His wish is to become the richest athlete on the planet, and even the richest man in the world. Can't you take care of yourself?"

Zhang Chen rolled his eyes and said, "What can I do if I become the richest man in the world? Luxury every day? Er, I can't live a too extravagant life. Besides, as the richest man in the world, I don't know how many people are staring at your wallet. It's too late to make you cry. You have to follow all kinds of bodyguards every day. Maybe one day a sniper will come out and shoot you in the head..."

"Ah, I can't stand you. I'm going to be surrounded by you. Don't you yearn for more money? Don't you want to live the life of the rich?"

"But I live the life of a rich man now..."

Liu Xuan also rolled his eyes. It suddenly occurred to him that although Zhang Chen didn't seem to be self-motivated in becoming a super-rich man, he already had at least $30 million in his bank account, not to mention how much money he made when he went back to China. Even in the United States, he only The advertising fee has to be counted to the extent that it is very happy - this person who doesn't have much idea about too much money has a pretty good agent. Thinking of this, Liu Xuan really envied Zhang Chen. He was as much money as dung, but he himself was a big dung pit.

Some NBA stars will spend a very miserable old age. The reason is that when they are young, they suddenly have a large amount of wealth on hand. Many people originally lived at the bottom of society and suddenly have such a large wealth. He doesn't know what to do at all. Don't spend it, so they are soon completely lost by wealth, and then gradually squander money. Relatives and friends come. Even if they haven't met before, as long as they report the name of a relative, they have to give them money. Coupled with some luxury of life and the enjoyment of various luxury goods, many stars with an annual income of tens of millions can't make ends meet.

A star of the supersonic team who had an annual income of tens of millions of Lei? Williams used to be a powerful figure, but it was because he was arrogant and luxurious when he was young and spent too much money. Now in his old age, he has nothing to rely on. He can only live in a broken car not far from his friend's house... Now he can only remember his former glory through a shabby poster.

This is a faithful portrayal of many people who have nothing to rely on. Therefore, the life of NBA stars is often a bottomless hole, and many people also want to get more wealth. People like Zhang Chen are indeed an alien - except for eating and training, they basically use little money. This kind of peerless good person really doesn't Too much money. In this way, his attitude towards money is really indifferent, but Liu Xuan still has his own way to convince Zhang Chen.

"Yes, you really don't have any place to use money now, but when you retire, you will find it more and more difficult to get money, so you must save enough money when you are young and think about your old age, because you are facing an old age that is difficult to get money."

"Why are you so alarmist?"

"Well, let me talk about your ambition. You like basketball, don't you? So, after retiring, what do you rely on to realize your basketball dream? When a head coach is controlled by others? Or do you go to some basketball school by yourself, and finally make wedding clothes for others? Have you ever thought about buying a team directly like Jordan? You can do whatever you want, whoever you want to sign, and if you want to abandon that, it's all a matter of your mind... Moreover, you can also use your team to fight on the battlefield. It is said that Yao Ming is going to buy the Shanghai team..."

"This is a good way... If you can buy a team after retirement and continue your basketball dream, but it will cost a lot of money to buy a team, right?"

"So, this is where you need money. In addition, for example, I know you seem to want to buy a plane. These are all for money! Finally, there is another one..." He took a look at Zhang Chen and saw that Zhang Chen seemed to be meditating, so he left him a little time to think. Zhang Chen looked up after a while and said, "Oh, what about that? It seems that you have another reason to persuade me.

"Yes, there is one last reason for your three wives..."

"Eh..." Zhang Chen saw such a huge revelation from Liu Xuan and hurriedly wanted to cover his mouth: "How do you know? I wiped it. Why is this kind of thing so secretive!!!"

"Many people know..." Liu Xuan said lightly, "It should be difficult for you to solve this problem now, but I can show you a clear way."

"What's the bright road... I heard you say one of the reasons that touched my heart the most today. Hurry up and say it."

"When you really want to be together, you will definitely face all kinds of pressure. At these times, you can save money to buy an island outside. At that time, you can even set up a country on it and directly join the United States of America. At that time, you will create laws for your country and let men You can marry many wives, and then you can go everywhere with your American marriage certificate!"

"I wipe... It's incredible. Can it really be like this? Why does the United States accept such a country? But what you said is indeed ** power..."

"Yes, the premise of all this is that you have to have money. You have a lot of money. It's not without such a precedent. What's more, many people have bought an island and returned to the mainland, so that they can enjoy family happiness regardless of secular vision... Don't say what will happen if there are too many women. In fact, which one is a little rich or a little low-ranking person who doesn't have many beautiful women? Of course, I haven't heard of the situation that every woman like you is famous for the time being, but you can think about it.

Zhang Chen fell into meditation. He had to say that what Liu Xuan said was really powerful, which even made him feel that he had walked into the other side of the sky. In an instant, he was suddenly cheerful, and then said, "You convinced me. I really feel that I have to have a lot of money now, but this is also It's not a matter of one day, not to mention that money does not mean that you will come if you want. I also want to focus on basketball, which is the direction and goal I have been working on..."

"I know, so, I'm just saying that you have to start to slowly accumulate your own strength. These forces can be to start a company and grow slowly in your name, and you have a lot of money, and you can afford to lose."

"But there is no good project! Moreover, if I have any big move, it will probably be carried out during the off-season, and there is nothing to say now.

"This is, but I have a good project now, and I don't know if you dare to make such a big bet!"

"What kind of gambling?" Zhang Chen was completely interested. He was not afraid of Liu Xuan cheating him. One reason was that Liu Xuan was his good friend after all and just promised to invest money in him. Moreover, he also has a team of agents. After discussing with them, he can know the feasible surname of this matter, so his top priority now is to understand what Liu Xuan wants to say. So, Zhang Chen quickly asked Liu Xuan.

"This big bet involves 10 million dollars. If you lose, it will be a huge blow to you!"

"Just talk about the specific project, and then I will analyze it myself. If it is feasible, I will even give you a certain introduction fee..."

"The introduction fee is a good thing..." Liu Xuan's eyes lit up and said, "Well, have you seen Titanic?"

"I seem to have seen it, that is to say, a ship sank, with a man and a woman on it?"

"Yes, it's that movie. You may also know the box office miracle of that movie, and now what I want to tell you is the director. Now it is said that it took ten years to shoot a film called Avatar, which uses a large number of advanced technology of the film industry, which can be said to be The peak that the human film industry can achieve is all 3D imaging, so it also costs a lot of money. Of course, this film is also expected by many people.

"Well, so what?" Seeing that Liu Xuan stopped again, Zhang Chen would continue to ask him.

"This movie should have a head start, but the investment is too huge. So far, hundreds of millions of dollars have been spent. Now the film has basically been shot, and the special effects production has reached the last moment. This movie can be said to have plundered too many resources, and it is estimated that it may surpass The box office miracle of Titanic, but, as you know, this is a 3D movie, so it is too demanding for special effects production... Don't start to be absent-minded again... Now "Avatar" has suffered a fatal crisis, that is, there is not enough money!"

"Don't have enough money? They have invested hundreds of millions of dollars, and they still care about the last special effects production?

"Oh, now many people have lost confidence in the director who burns money. Therefore, the director has never reached the last funding gap when he begged his grandfather and grandma. However, this gap is still very large, so he can't help it."

"So, you mean, let me invest?"

"Yes, the current capital gap is 200 billion US dollars. A few days ago, a Mexican businessman just invested 100 billion US dollars. At this time, there is still the last 100 billion US dollars gap left!"

"Let me think about it." Although he said that he didn't have much concept of money, it was 100 billion dollars after all. Zhang Chen must also think carefully before making a decision, so he began to think gradually. Finally, he stood up and said, "Well, I have heard too many of your personal opinions today. In the next time I have to think about it myself. I will soon pass the investment in Basketball Time. As for the investment in Aladdin, I will also think about it..."

"It's Avatar... I really don't know how you associate a name with the same word!" Liu Xuan added angrily in the back. Zhang Chen turned his head and smiled: "I did it on purpose..."

Liu Xuan looked helplessly at Zhang Chen's back and went away.

—————— Zhang Chen returned to the room and soon saw Taylor watching TV on the sofa. Zhang Chen came to the sofa and said, "Taylor, I have something to tell you."

"What's the matter?" Taylor, who was watching the TV series, didn't want to be completely disturbed by Zhang Chen, so he threw potato chips into his mouth and casually said to Zhang Chen.

"Do you know the director who shot Titanic?"

"I know, and I heard that he has been making a 3D movie recently, which seems to be called Avatar. It is said that he has invested a lot of dollars... It's really strange why that director spends so much money. It's simply a bottomless hole... OH, I can't stand such a person."

"I want to discuss with you, that is, I'm going to invest in Avatar. I'm going to start my second investment. Now I just want you to give me some advice, and you are in the entertainment industry, and you can also give me some more realistic information for reference."

"OH... I heard you right..." Taylor turned around and stared at Zhang Chen: "You are going to invest, and your first investment is going to give Avatar?"
