Hollywood Hunter

A pier in southern Melbourne.

After three days of shooting, "Batman" finally ended the film's first play.

From the plot to the five consecutive murders in Gotham City, some of the victims were shot, some people had their necks broken, and some people still showed signs of being bitten by animals.Batman tracked down the clues and successfully rescued Vicki Val, the female reporter of the Gotham Times, when he was about to be murdered, and followed the murderer along the sewers to an abandoned pier on the edge of the city.

The murderer showed his true face, and turned out to be a weirdo with a huge crocodile with sharp teeth and scales.

After a hard struggle, Batman finally subdued the Crocodile Man.

At the same time, the shocked Vicky Wall reported to the police, and also closely following the recent homicides, Director Gordon personally led the team to the dock.Because the police arrived, Batman had no time to interrogate the crocodile and had to escape in advance.

After this action drama, there is also a cultural drama, which is also the first official contact between Director Gordon and Batman.

The shooting of the night scene recently started from 6 pm to 2 am, which is still eight hours.The southern hemisphere is midsummer, and the sky is very long, but usually after the preparations before the start of shooting, the night has come.

It was already one o'clock in the morning, after the previous action scene ended.The scene didn't need to be changed too much. The policemen packed up the mess in the original venue, and Director Gordon was reminded to come to a nearby warehouse.

The set here has been completed in advance, Simon and the two actors Adam Baldwin and Tommy Lee Jones briefly communicated, and the shooting officially began.

The clapper board hit, and all the actors who were buried in advance moved.

Director Gordon walked to the street lamp in front of the warehouse, and Batman squatted on the edge of the warehouse roof, most of his body was covered with a cloak.The composition of the lens carries a clear allegory: Director Gordon and Batman, one in the light and one in the dark.

Feeling the slight noise above his head, Sergeant Gordon looked up and finally saw the'wanted criminal' he had also pursued for a long time.

After a brief confrontation between the two, Gordon said first: "Well, although...but you did well."

Batman didn't mean to talk to Gordon, the tone was calm and cold, and said: "Are you now connected?"

Gordon nodded: "Including Vicky Wall, three journalists have been attacked in the last week. There must be something going on in the city, and some people want to cover it up."

Batman paused, and did not inform Gordon that he had realized five connected murders, only saying: "I need an interrogation report for that crocodile."

"I won't cooperate with wanted criminals," Gordon blurted out, aware of Batman's hesitation, and asked again: "Do you still know anything?"

Batman repaid the original words: "I will not cooperate with the police."

Gordon frowned: "Then why do you think I will give you the report?"

"Tomorrow evening at 12 o'clock, still here."

Gordon moved his footsteps, seemingly thinking about how to fight for a little initiative.After a brief trance, he looked up again, and the figure on the roof had disappeared.

"CuT!"

Simon raised his hand slightly behind the monitor and yelled, and began to replay what he had just shot.

Adam Baldwin and Tommy Lee Jones also quickly got together.

"The emotions are still not in place," Simon personally explained to Tommy Lee Jones according to the playback: "Tommy, this conversation means that the two of you unconsciously formed some kind of potential tacit understanding, so The rhythm needs to be tuned. Also, the small movements you just made are too deliberate. Adjust them next time."

What Simon needs is a feeling. Naturally, there is no way to tell the two how to act in too much detail, only they can figure it out.

After a brief discussion, the two actors prepared for the second time and began shooting for the second time.

Bruce Wayne was basically in the state of Batman with three attributes, and he did not have a high requirement for Adam Baldwin’s acting skills. Tommy Lee Jones was also a bone of old drama for many years.

At two o'clock, the crew stopped work on time.

Simon probably fell asleep at three o'clock in the morning, and had already eaten breakfast at nine o'clock the next morning and returned to the study room in his suite.

Jennifer's main job is to maintain contact with two companies in North America, and does not need to stay with Simon on the set.Simon walked into the study, and the female assistant had prepared the documents he needed to review today.

"We have successfully established 5ooo hand Nikkei 225 index futures long contracts on two commodity futures exchanges in Osaka and Singapore. The open position index is about 312oo points, the average one-handed margin is 253oo US dollars, and the total payment is 126 million US dollars. Dad thinks The company only needs to keep a reserve of US$50 million to protect against risks, so it can add another 1ooo to open positions."

At the beginning of the S&P 5oo index futures, 1o leverage, a single margin required only 15ooo US dollars.

Nikkei 225 index futures are still 1o times leverage.However, the contract multiplier for this index future is 1ooo yen, which means that the book value of each contract held by Westeros is 3.12 million yen.

In recent years, the yen has continued to appreciate against the US dollar. The recent exchange rate has reached 123 to 1.312 million yen is roughly 250,000 US dollars after conversion, and the 1o% margin ratio is 25,000 US dollars.

Simon listened to Jennifer's introduction while looking at the documents in his hand.

In the past two weeks, the growth of the Nikkei 225 index has accelerated significantly.In December last year, when the Nikkei 225 index broke through 3oooo points, the month's increase was only 623 points, but in the past two weeks, the Nikkei index has risen by a full 86o points, an increase of 2.7%.

I don't know if someone heard the news and started to follow the result of the approach.

The current Westeros company's freely available funds are only $200 million just transferred from Daenerys Entertainment. The planned 5ooo hand position is completed, and the remaining funds are only $70 million.Simon is not as clear about the trend of the Japanese stock market in the coming year as it was in the North American stock market in January of the previous year, so it is definitely not able to fill the position, and it is necessary to reserve a fund to withstand the risk of additional margin.

After a rough calculation, according to the current position ratio, if the Nikkei 225 index can still reach the high of 38ooo points in the original time and space.Theoretically, with the exception of the stock index futures transaction tax and high capital gains tax in the Japanese market, Westero’s US$200 million principal will probably double by the end of the year to achieve a net profit of 1oo%.

Compared to the one two years ago, the current year-long operation, 1oo% of the net profit, can not be regarded as a good business.If Simon makes other investments based on the information in his memory, he can actually earn so much in a year.

For example, now buying stocks in Columbia Pictures.

Throughout 1988, Columbia Pictures had a total of 15 movies, but the box office for the year was only $880 million.That's right, 15 movies, 880 million, the average box office revenue per movie is less than 60 million.

Samsung Pictures, a joint venture between Colombia and hBo, had better box office figures throughout the year. For the same 15 movies, the total box office in 1988 was only US$109.98 million.In order to cover up this fact, Bo parent company Times Group even had to use financial means to allocate losses to other departments.

Although news of Sony's possible acquisition of Colombia has been reported, the stock price of Colombia has continued to fall due to the sluggish performance of this studio. Even the share price of Coca-Cola Group, which holds 49% of Colombia, has fallen.

The current market value of Columbia Pictures is only $1.6 billion, and the debt ratio has reached 1oo%. If it falls again, it will be insolvent.

However, Simon clearly remembers that in the second half of the year Sony acquired Colombia, and the final transaction price was $3.4 billion, more than doubling.Moreover, Sony has also assumed all of Colombia’s $1.6 billion in debt, bringing the total value of the entire transaction to $500 million.

If Simon enters the market now to buy Columbia Pictures, he will also be able to double his earnings in the second half of the year, and the risk is lower.

However, because of being in Hollywood, Simon would certainly lead to unnecessary speculation and even be investigated by insider trading.

With a large number of arbitrage tycoons such as Ivan Boski, Michael Milken, and others who have thrived on Wall Street for many years, they have squandered their money. The federal investigation agency, whose reputation is just in the spring, is sure to hope that Simon Westero The trajectory of riches is even more bizarre.

Therefore, while seeing many recent stock arbitrage opportunities such as the recent Reynolds Nabes M&A case and Sony's acquisition of the Columbian transaction in the next few months, Simon refrained from doing so.

Although it disagrees with most of the hedge funds that Wall Street bearish on the Japanese stock market, making money through the Japanese stock market does not have this risk.

Suppressing the rise of Japan is entirely the "political correctness" of the United States in recent years.

Of course, the profits generated by speculating on Nikkei 225 index futures may not necessarily come from Japan, but this is not something Simon needs to consider.

With constant thinking in his mind, Simon heard Jennifer convey James James Boulder's suggestion and nodded quickly after thinking about it: "Yes."

The open interest increased to 6ooo lot, the risk is still within the controllable range.However, even if this is the case, the expected returns are still difficult to satisfy Simon's appetite.

Funding is still a big problem.

Simon does not intend to use stock loans to speculate on stock index futures. It is unlikely that a loan will be obtained for this reason, nor will he allow himself to take this risk.

Thinking this, suddenly remembering something, Simon looked up and asked Jennifer: "Is your dad still in the company?"

Jennifer nodded: "It's six o'clock in the afternoon in New York, but Dad is still there. Dad called when he had breakfast and said he would wait for you."

The female assistant picked up the phone on the desk, dialed a string of numbers skillfully, and then gave the microphone to Simon.

After reducing Motorola's shares, the number of listed technology companies held by Westeros is 25, the company has 16 of them on the board of directors, and the other 9 are simply holding shares and did not join the board of directors.

In order to avoid involving the entire technology stock market in the process of reducing Motorola, Westeros issued a one-year non-reduction statement for companies that did not join the board of directors and a three-year non-reduction statement for companies with board seats.

This announcement is now over a year ago, and Simon can now raise more funds for the operation of the Japanese stock market by reducing some of the technology stocks in his hands.

Talked to James Rebold on the phone for half an hour.The two roughly agreed on a share reduction plan for 6 stocks, 3 of which only performed poorly in the past year, and 3 of which Simon had already confirmed that would reduce the shareholding, such as Apple.

Simon specifically gave up joining Apple's board of directors for this purpose.

When Westero bought Apple during the stock market crash, the company's market value was around US$300 million. A total of US$150 million was invested. Counting last year's small-scale increase, the shareholding ratio just exceeded 5%.

Recently, Apple's market value has increased to 5.3 billion US dollars, Westeros's book profits held by the company exceeded 75%, and the total value of the shares reached 260 million US dollars.

Although the market value of Apple in the next few years will exceed 700 million US dollars, Simon does not intend to wait any longer.Of course, he never thought about selling them all in a short period of time. About 5% of the shares are already a large proportion of a listed company. Selling too much at one time will definitely impact Apple's stock.

However, a total of 6 stocks, even if Westeros's reduction of shares will have a certain impact on the stock price, it can easily cash out 300 million US dollars in the next month.After Daenerys Entertainment completes its financial audit, it can transfer a portion of its funds to Westeros.

Over 500 million US dollars of principal, Simon can safely increase the position of the Nikkei 225 index futures to 15,000 hands.

Although he can still invest more, Simon also intends to stop it.

After cashing out for the next month, when the stock market is slightly stable, Westeros will continue to reduce its holdings, but the excess funds, Simon intends to use to increase the shares of Microsoft, Intel and other companies.

The forward income of this part of the investment is actually even greater.

Hanging up James Rebled's phone, Simon began to read through several documents from Daenerys Entertainment.

After watching Robert Iger's report on aBc TV Network requesting Daenerys Entertainment to drastically reduce the price of the second season of "Who Will Be a Millionaire" and participate in advertising placement, Simon called the phone to Los Angeles.

Los Angeles is just over three o'clock in the afternoon, just before work.

Daenerys Entertainment can earn $250 million from the first season of "Who Will Be a Millionaire", but aBc can only get 80 million.Although Simon very much hopes that this model of profit distribution will continue, he also knows that this is not possible.

Last year, the company completely took advantage of the Hollywood screenwriter strike. This year, aBc will not make this mistake again.

Fortunately, Daenerys Entertainment has negotiated with nBc in advance for the contract of "Survivor" for the next three seasons.

Although the ratings of "Survivor" are higher than those of "Who Will Be a Millionaire", but the scale of 1 issue per week and 13 issues per quarter, Bc did not show such a strong rebound of aBc.

After discussing the negotiation plan with aBc, Simon just hung up the phone, but this time the ringtone voluntarily rang.

Answering again, it was Sofia Fisci from Florence, Italy, and Gucci’s headquarters was in Florence.

On the phone, Sofia said that she has negotiated a 39% stake in Gucci and continues to contact other members of the Gucci family.

Although the acquisition agreement was basically reached with the Gucci family last time, the Gucci family's shareholding is relatively scattered. The specific price and other conditions need to be discussed separately by the three branches of Sofia and the Gucci family.

Sofia also predicted that because of sufficient funds, she may be able to get a 6o% stake in Gucci, which is higher than the absolute shareholding of the original plan.

Simon held the microphone in one hand and talked to Sofia on the phone, and opened Nancy Brill's plan for the "Ninja Turtles" video game. His expression was a little unexpected.
