Under the influence of this Great Depression, Donald Typren's assets quickly shrank. In just over two years, Donald Typren's assets have shrunk from $1.7 billion at its peak to $500 million now.

It wouldn't be a big deal if it was just like this. After all, the market value of many real estate companies has shrunk significantly now.

But before the Great Depression began, Donald Typren was at the peak of his career, and he was full of energy and spent his own real estate company very large, so he owed hundreds of millions of dollars in loans from major banks and financial institutions. After the Great Depression began, due to continuous losses, his real estate company's capital chain was on the verge of collapse and could go bankrupt at any time.

Although he used his connections to convince several banks to suspend the high interest that needed to pay on regular loans, he could no longer get a penny of funds from any institution. Without funds, his real estate company would not be able to operate normally and could only be in a half-dead state.

A few days ago, Donald accidentally saw an article about Eric in a newspaper. The article talked in detail about Eric's magical rise in an amazing tone, and predicted that Eric owns Firefly Film Company, with several movies released this year, will be able to obtain a net profit of US$400 million.

After carefully reading the article several times, Donald Typrom immediately became aware that even a large group company with a market value of tens of billions of dollars is unlikely to have 200 million US dollars in cash. If he could get the funds from Firefly, even if it was only half, he would be able to survive the bankruptcy crisis smoothly.

Donald Typren has one advantage shared by all savvy businessmen, that is, he is good at seizing all opportunities that he can seize. He has never thought about the chance of success in doing so. As long as he tries, there are only two possibilities of success and failure. If he doesn't try it, there is only one possibility.

After Donald Tpreen made up his mind, he immediately found a detective company and collected a lot of information about Eric in detail, in which he discovered Eric's acquisition of the Pixar studio where Jobs was.

Pixar Studio has always been a heart-wrenching problem with Jobs and has been losing money since he bought it. At the beginning of the year, the studio was acquired by Eric for $20 million. In the information he collected, Pixar's loss this year will reach $10 million higher than before, so the information he collected has a very low evaluation of Eric's acquisition, and even used words such as "stupid".

But this is exactly what Donald wants to see. He felt that in addition to being very talented in movies, this young man was not too smart in business, or in other words, except for movies, he was not too smart. It would be great if this was the case.

Donald Tpree was originally planning to rush to Seattle in person, but then he learned that Eric led the crew to New York, which was his base camp.

Because it is unlikely to contact the middleman for introduction in a short period of time, Eric is busy filming the movie. He does not participate in any social activities, so Donald can only come to him in person. He had also analyzed Eric's personality before. He felt that since he became famous at a young age, Eric must have the pride and vanity that young people of this age should have. In order to cater to Eric's heart, Donald Tepron deliberately arrived two hours earlier and revealed the news to the crew.

At this moment, looking at the young man who was only 19 years old and had a faint stubble on his chin, but still had not completely retreated, Donald Teplang felt envious.

The investment institution estimates that the market value of Firefly after the merger with the new line has exceeded US$1 billion. According to the shares, the young man's value is already twice that of his current one. However, it only took a short year for the other party to do all this.

But it was not the time to sigh. Donald Tprem quickly sorted out the series of speeches he had prepared in his mind. Just when Eric was about to speak, he was the first to speak.

"Mr. Donald, are you my fan?"

Donald Tepran was stunned for a moment, subconsciously wanted to nod, but then decided to tell the truth: "No, I'm not, but I really like the movie "Dark War" you filmed. When the videotape is released in the future, I will definitely buy a box to collect it."

"Oh, thank you," Eric nodded politely and did not speak anymore. He watched the waiter bring the lunch for the two of them and poured red wine for them. However, he was silently planning in his heart that Donald Tepran would obviously not come to him for no reason, but Eric couldn't understand why the other party came to him.

Could it be that you want to play a supporting role in your own movie?

Thinking of Donald Tepran's personality in his previous life who liked to join the entertainment industry, Eric subconsciously felt that this was quite possible. However, "Sleeping in Seattle" must have no chance. Does the other party want to play "Home Imposses 2"?

Eric was about to throw away this "absurd" idea, but suddenly raised his head and looked at Donald Tepran on the opposite side for a few glances.

what-the-*!

Eric muttered speechlessly, thinking that it wouldn't be such a coincidence, right?

Because he had that idea just now, when he subconsciously recalled the plot of "Home Imperial 2" in his mind, he suddenly realized that Donald Typren did make a guest appearance in this child-oriented movie.

It was about twenty minutes after the movie, Kevin came to New York by chance. When he checked into the Plaza Hotel near Central Park, Donald Typren played a passerby who flashed past and guided the little guy. There was also a line and a frontal shot.

Originally, Eric knew that there was such a guiding role, but he was busy some time ago. Except for the main actors of "Home Imperial 2", he didn't care about those small characters at all, and he left them to the casting director.

For small roles like Donald Typren, you don’t even need to confirm the actors in advance. Usually, you will find an extra or bring out a strong man from the crew to make a guest appearance.

So Eric had never thought about the identity of that person at all. If Donald Tpree had not sat in front of him at this time, Eric would have never thought of it.
