Chapter 977 Shock 400 billion
Each of the smugglers had only one spoonful of rice and a cup of fresh water. The distribution was soon completed. Ulrich Sandman and his two subordinates skillfully packed up the empty plastic buckets. The other members of the snakehead organization who went down to the warehouse together groped into the crowd. A tug and dispute sounded in the dark. Accompanied by begging and sobbing, seven or eight women were quickly driven out of the crowd and walked towards the hatch not far away.
The other smugglers were just silent.
There are very few women who participated in the smuggling in Tikura, and Ulrich knew that these are all women without a master.
Without men's protection, perhaps the outcome will not be too good after arriving in France.
Ulrich and the other two left the bottom warehouse with empty buckets. They had just arrived at the deck, and it was already lively here. The members of the snakehead organization on the boat participated in it, wearing masks and naked, like an open-air carnival under the starry sky.
Rejecting Captain Renault's invitation, Ulrich and the other two sent the empty bucket back to the kitchen and returned to their cabin together.
The two subordinates who had been following Ulrich for a long time may have a heart-warming intention, but they had no intention of participating in it. Their boss was very gentle when he was gentle, and was strict enough when he was strict. The two subordinates even felt that Ulrich would decisively kill them if necessary.
It is not because of moral factors that cannot participate in the carnival on the deck. They are already wandering in the darkness. Not to mention morality, the law does not have much binding force on them.
It mainly may affect their tasks.
That's all.
Back in his cabin, the three of them played poker for a while, then rested, woke up again, and the outdoors were still dark.
Darkness before dawn.
The freighter has also arrived on the coast of France.
There was no pier, and more than a hundred people arrived on a few speedboats to pick up the boats, which was near the southern French city of Nice.
Three days after getting ashore, they quietly and cautiously made a series of twists and turns, with a total of 129 smugglers. Except for a few who went to seek refuge with relatives and friends, most of them were divided into three waves and rushed to Paris, the capital of France. Ulrich's team continued to follow up and saw the entire smuggling process. There is also a very complete illegal immigration resettlement network here.
Under the leadership of an organized illegal immigration gang, the smugglers who arrived in France were quickly assigned to dark corners in various parts of Paris to start their new life based on factors such as gender, age and skills.
We followed up the complete resettlement process conscientiously, and this time we thought it would be finally over.
Ulrich led his two subordinates to a stronghold in Geneva, Switzerland, on July 3rd.
This time, all five teams under Ulrich's name were dispatched, including Latin America, Africa, and Asia, and they all went there. Except for the Asian smuggling team, they were still on the way, and all the other groups returned.
The next step is to organize the information.
In a lakeside villa in northern Lake Geneva, which is already a little remote from the center of Geneva, Ulrich carefully depicts it with a red pen in front of a huge world map. The door of this large open office was pushed open. A subordinate hurried in from outside, holding a document in his hand: "Boss, the result of the election in Russia has come out, and Yeltsin won the election."
Ulrich's handwriting didn't stop at all, and he was obviously not very interested.
Dennis Peck, the leader of the second group under Ulrich who had just completed a smuggling trip from Libya to France, saw that his boss was not interested, embarrassedly put down the printout of the online news page, casually pulled over an office chair and sat down, looked at Ulrich's drawing, thought for a while, and said, "Boss, I think, I might be a little guessing what our big boss wants to do?"
Ulrich still works silently.
Dennis Peck smiled helplessly again and turned to another person who was busy in front of the computer: "Raphael, do you want to know?"
A white man in his early thirties, named Raphael Cridge, smiled and shook his head, looking very disrespectful.
Dennis Peck looked like he was injured and crazy. He couldn't help but say, no matter whether his companions wanted to hear it or not, he said, "I think our boss wants to do something completely opposite to Hitler back then."
When Ulrich heard Dennis say this, he frowned slightly and finally rebuked: "Danny, I don't want to hear you like you think about the intentions above again, otherwise I will inform you that you are not suitable for this job."
Dennis Peck's neck shrank when he heard this. Knowing that Ulrich had no intention of joking, he hurriedly said, "Boss, I promise, I will never again."
Moreover, there is no dissatisfaction with his current job anyway. He doesn't want to be kicked out. In fact, Dennis is definitely not a talkative person. He is only more talkative in front of Ulrich, mainly because Dennis was a subordinate brought out by Ulrich when he was in Stasi. He was not only a teacher and a friend, but also a close friendship in it.
Ulrich is not interested in the newly released Russian election results, but on this day, the global media are focusing on this matter.
Simon also received the news as soon as possible.
After a difficult campaign for half a year, Yeltsin finally defeated his biggest competitor, Jiuganov, with a 53% approval rating.
It can be said that this election is another watershed in Russia since the collapse of the Soviet Union.
If Russia's economy has collapsed in the past few years, with the release of the results of this election, the major Russian oligarchs who support Yeltsin's re-election have further controlled all aspects of the country and began to increase the speed of expansion, thus bringing the Russian economy into a deeper abyss.
The next day, July 4th.
American Solo Day.
Simon and two Jenny were busy all day long, mainly attending the wedding of Daenerys Entertainment Ceo Amy Pascal. The Hollywood female executive followed Simon all the way and made great contributions to the development of Daenerys Entertainment. Therefore, Simon also attached great importance to the wedding of the female executive.
Amy Pascal did not do it in a big way. The total number of guests requested was less than 100, but it was also lively all day. He planned to spend a short time with her husband and then go back to work after a weekend of one single day and make up for it after her honeymoon.
On the same day, the North American summer season has also started a new week.
Although July 4th is Thursday, this box office week was one day ahead of schedule because of the solo day. There were three important new films on that day, namely the same-sex comedy "Bird Cage" produced by MGM, the action blockbuster "Battleman" starring Sean Connery produced by Disney and the comic adaptation "Phantom Man" produced by Sony.
After the One Day, the next day, the previous full box office week also ended.
From June 29 to July 4, Daenerys Entertainment, the only independent blockbuster movie produced by itself in the summer, successfully defeated the weekly box office champion "007 Ghost Party", which won the weekly box office championship and successfully reached the top.
Although it has no longer the halo of the "Batman" series, Tim Burton's "Blade Valley" still received a lot of praise, with a comprehensive media rating of 8.8, which is close to the classic level.
Simon even felt that perhaps it was because of the fact that the "Batman" series that had been worse and worse, which made Tim Burton's new film more focus. Speaking of which, it was because the "Batman" was not the "Batman" and the net worth was reduced, and the production cost of this "Dragonhead Valley" was only 70 million US dollars, far lower than the $100 million in the original time and space.
The final painting was seven days in the first week, and "The Deadhead Valley" earned $51.39 million in the first week with a library of nearly $17,000.
In history, the local box office of "The Deadhead Valley" was only about 100 million US dollars. This time, with the support of Daenerys Entertainment's powerful distribution offensive, this fantasy film, which was promoted as "every frame is enough for an exquisite poster", earned 51.39 million US dollars in the opening. In addition, it is close to the classic reputation, and the local box office gain of about 50% is not a big problem.
Considering that the total cost of the film's production and promotion is only US$100 million, and the local $150 million is enough to recover most of the costs.
It is obvious that the big heads of bombshells produced by Daenerys Entertainment are often overseas, so just the box office is enough to allow Daenerys Entertainment to recover quite a lot of profits.
With the success of "The Deadhead Valley", the popularity of the film's male and female protagonists, Johnny Depp and Mia Coschna, has increased significantly.
Speaking of which, since "Edward Scissor Hand", Depp has been in various low-cost independent film circles over the years, and has even shown signs of falling from the second-tier to the third-tier star. The wonderful performance of "The Deadhead Valley" and the commercial success of this movie have sent Depp to the Hollywood front line in one fell swoop.
The other Mia Coschna is more typical.
Westeros girl.
Although Hollywood does not have such a title publicly, and because Simon has made a lot of celebrities, it is obvious that Mia Coschna's popularity route is very classic.
The well-informed insiders also know that Simon Westeros gave Tim Burton high authority, but he did not compromise on the heroine and insisted on using Mia Coschna. This actress with a pure appearance and a particularly cold and depressing atmosphere also interpreted the role of the little witch in "The Deadhead Valley" with a wonderful interpretation of the role of the little witch in "The Deadhead Valley".
So, after the hard work of several previous films, Mia Coschna also became famous in one fell swoop.
This is a one-shot success without water.
In the final analysis, if an actor wants to become famous, he is still famous. The more people you can know your name, the higher your status will be. Even if the film is not successful, it will be enough for the actor to gain considerable popularity and, accordingly, more opportunities. This popularity gain is completely incomparable to those low-cost films with box offices of only a few million, unless you directly get an Oscar nomination.
With the success of "The Deadhead Valley", Daenerys Entertainment also took advantage of the opportunity to officially announce that Mia Coschna will star in James Mangod's new film "The Soul-Escaped Girl", and also starred in Angelina Jolie, the daughter of Hollywood Oscar winner Joe Watt.
Because of the solo day holiday, and the two films do not have much conflict in the subject matter, "007's Ghost Party" was released in the third week. Faced with the impact of "Dragonhead Valley", the box office decline remained strongly at 31%, and it collected another $38.6 million. After three weeks of release, the cumulative box office of this 007 series' super bombshell reached $183.99 million.
Judging from this box office trend, "007: Ghost Party" has basically locked in the box office championship position in the 1996 summer season.
As for whether you can secure the annual box office championship, it depends on the box office performance of films such as "Wonder Woman 2" and "Charlie's Angels" at the end of the year.
After the weekend of the One-Law Day, on July 8, the Westeros system officially launched the bond issuance plan in the new week.
The first announcement was US$3 billion from AOL.
Since the continuous reduction of holdings by the Westeros system in the first half of the year, the financial market has continuously reminded investors of the risk of the bursting of the new technology bubble. After Simon gave up the long-term reduction plan under pressure from all parties, he did not expect that this happened again and many people were caught off guard.
Even in the announcement of the US Online, the $3 billion bond will be mainly aimed at overseas investors, the North American stock market still experienced a significant decline on the day the news was announced, and the Nasdaq market, which has been advancing all the way, fell by 1.2% in a single day. After all, the market is not stupid.
However, it is not stupid, not stupid, and the capital market has never had real rationality.
After a 1.2% drop on Monday, the Nasdaq market rebounded 0.7% on Tuesday, and rebounded 0.8% again on Wednesday. So, in three days, the Nasdaq market not only did not fall, but also showed a slight increase.
As of the closing on Wednesday afternoon, July 10, the Nasdaq index had reached 4215 points.
At the same time, among the leading technology stocks that are most popular in the capital market, Igret Company has gradually begun to stand out. On Wednesday, the market value of this emerging network company had reached US$387.6 billion. After the Nasdaq index exceeded 4,000 points, it is obvious that a US$400 billion company will soon appear in the North American stock market.
Industry predicts that Egret's final market value may dominate about 10% of the entire Nasdaq market.
Compared to Yahoo, this seems a bit incredible. However, the current Igrit is far from comparable to a Yahoo portal.
