December 23.

This day, there is only one day left before Christmas Eve;

There are only two days before Christmas comes.

That night.

Zucker and his girlfriend Adriana Lima attended the 5th heir to the Carlos family, the richest man in Mexico, and also Zucker's partner Rioir Slim.

"Hi, Juke, long time no see!"

As soon as Zhuke and Lima arrived at the reception, they were warmly welcomed by the venue owner Rioir Slim.

"Same! My friend, I'm extremely reluctant to leave you when I heard you're leaving Los Angeles!" Zhuke was also very enthusiastic.

While talking, Zhuke also introduced his girlfriend Lima.

"Hahaha, I know. Adriana Lima, a very charming Victoria's Secret angel. To be honest, I think it would be a huge loss for the whole world when she left the runway." Rioer smiled.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Ke glanced at him angrily.

model?

Alas, it’s all about tears when you say it!

The chaos in the modeling industry is even more dirty than in the entertainment industry. Although Juke has no class concept, he is still a rich man with a net worth of over 10 billion US dollars. If Lima wants to be with Juke, he will have to give up the profession of modeling.

This is certain, not negotiable!

"Rior, my friend, you left Los Angeles before Christmas Eve and went back to Mexico, don't you plan to come back?" Zucker asked.

Rioer solemnly said: "My friend, I will be in Mexico within the next 3 to 5 years."

Zhuke nodded, knowing it in his heart.

What are the troubles of the big family!

Rioir Slim is the eldest grandson of Mexico's richest man Carlos Slim. He is the fifth heir, not the only heir. The huge family wealth is naturally very fierce.

Zhu Ke, who started from scratch, naturally had no such troubles.

However!

Rioer's departure from Los Angeles will inevitably be a big loss for Zhuke.

Since 1997, Rio has successively invested in up to 9 movies such as "Memory Fragments", "Spartan 300 Warriors", "Spider-Man", etc. on behalf of the Carlos Family Foundation.

The total investment amount is not less than US$130 million.

Undoubtedly, he is one of the funders of Wald Pictures, a subsidiary of Zucker.

"My friend, once you leave, how can I find a friend as generous as you in the future!" Zucker exclaimed.

“Hahaha~”

Rioer laughed and said, "You really don't forget my money. But don't worry, even if I leave Los Angeles, I will continue to invest in your Wald Pictures movies."

At this point, Zhu Ke understood.

Before this, Rioer invested in Zucker's movies, using the funds from the family, not the personal wealth.

But... it will be different in the future.

As the saying goes, tea is cold when people walk.

Rioer left Los Angeles and naturally could not control the Carlos Foundation's property in America again, but this did not prevent him from investing in Zucker's movies again in his personal name.

Over the years, Rioer has invested in Zucker's movies on behalf of the family foundation, and has made a lot of money.

The three movies "Spartan 300 Warriors", "Spider-Man" and "Harry Potter" alone, and the Carlos Foundation where Rioer is located has made a net profit of no less than $50 million.

"I have to say that although you, Zhuke, have a guaranteed business integrity. I can trust you very much in cooperation with you." Rioer said again.

"Of course," Zucker smiled.

When it comes to business integrity, Zhu Ke is definitely well-known.

In this alone, Juke is much better than Spielberg of DreamWorks Group!

Although the outside world is so eager for Hollywood, with the experience of being cheated, they are no longer willing to believe in Hollywood's integrity. After the subprime mortgage crisis in 2008, it will become quite difficult for Hollywood film companies to raise funds from the outside.

Zhuke played the sign of integrity in advance, and once he needed to raise funds from outside, it would become relatively easier.

"If a person has no future intentions, he will have immediate worries!" Zhu Ke sighed.

...........

During the entire cocktail party, Rioer was definitely the protagonist and was warmly greeted by guests from all sides.

Similarly, Zucker is also very popular.

"Mr. Wald, indeed, young and promising."

"Not it! Mr. Wald and Miss Lima are also a perfect match."

"Mr. Wald's investment vision is definitely the top. I won't say much about it. Just because of the crisis caused by the Internet bubble, Mr. Wald is one of the few people who withdraw in time."

"Aren't you talking nonsense? I think the most powerful thing about Mr. Wald is to make Hollywood movies, especially the recent Harry Potter movie. Oh my God, creating a market industry chain worth hundreds of billions of dollars is definitely a genius idea!"

...........

The praises from company executives and billionaires, even Zhu Ke, who was used to the big scenes, could not hold on for a while.

“Huh?”

Suddenly, Zhuke discovered a very interesting person among the group of people.

——Jeffrey Skilling!

He is an executive at Enron Energy, one of North America’s largest energy companies, and not long ago, he was designated as Enron’s next CEO.

Enron Energy, one of the largest energy, goods and services companies in North America, has a market value of over 100 billion US dollars. Not long ago, it was listed as the 7th among the "Fortune 500 American companies" by Fortune magazine.

However......

At the end of 2001, Enron suddenly applied for bankruptcy protection from the New York Bankruptcy Court, which became the second largest bankruptcy case in American history.

An Ran, with a market value of 100 billion yuan, collapsed with a bang!

Zhuke didn't know much about the cause of the "Anron incident", but he clearly remembered that it was the "Anron" case. The person who was finally tried was Jeffrey Skilling in front of him.

After trial, Skiling, 52, was sentenced to 24 years in prison and fined $18 million. At the same time, up to $180 million in wealth Skiling stole from Enron will be recovered.

"Tsk tsk tsk tsk ~"

Zhuke looked at Skilling, who was smiling brightly in front of him, and couldn't help but think: "The Anron incident is definitely a great opportunity to make money!"

A company with a market value of 100 billion yuan collapsed, and the huge wealth brewing here will definitely attract anyone to flock to it.

"Oh~"

"What a pity, I didn't do finance in my previous life. I only knew a very vague approximation of the Anron incident. I didn't know the specific cause and after that."

"If you can know more information, you will definitely make a big profit from it."

For a moment, Zhu Ke couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

However, at this moment, Zhu suddenly heard a long-lost voice.

"Ding Dong!"

[Congratulations to the host and get a future prompt.]

Zhu Ke was immediately overjoyed: "It's not about the Enron incident, right?"

However, the result disappointed Zucker, and this message was not about An Ran.
Chapter completed!
