Hollywood legendary director

Fabian Benavides is a rich man with a net worth of over 1 billion. He is a man who owns a business building and several factories, but that's all in the past. The building collapses faster than people think. It's even faster, and even the bank manager who knows him can't solve the trouble.

Once the loan failed, Fabian returned home in a daze, wondering what it was like.

September 15 is a day that should be remembered.

That day, Lehman Brothers fell, making most people uneasy.

In other words, since that day, the frequency of factory shutdowns, layoffs, and suicides of unemployed people has increased.

The worst part of this link is that assets that were originally relatively safe will also be undervalued when the holders are eager to find buyers; the decline in the value of high-quality assets will further drive the decline of all assets.

In other words, a large number of industries are paying for the collapse of the financial market because the bosses are more or less in it.

Moreover, Lehman Brothers, as one of the five largest investment banks on Wall Street, is self-evidently involved in its business, and fear will aggravate the disruption of market operations.

Naturally, Fabien was the one who suffered the same loss, especially because he couldn't hold on without cash.

In addition to shrinking net worth, his high-quality assets in hand could be on strike because he could not pay workers' wages. Without production, there would be no income. In addition, input costs, management expenses, and other losses are sucking his blood all the time.

Although he stepped up again and again and always assured the employees that he would raise funds as much as possible, but he was in arrears of salary for one and a half months, and no more verbal promises would help.

To make matters worse, the customers who leased his building were also unable to maintain. They either asked for grace or moved out, and because of the real estate downturn, the new tenants were gone...

Fabian thought for a whole night, and went to the factory with bloodshot eyes.

The factory has not started for a long time, and the workers, under the leadership of the union representatives, would rather stay than work, making Fabien more uncomfortable.

Of course, the workers didn’t want to do this either. They didn’t feel that life would be so difficult before. Although they worked hard at that time, they could get the reward they deserved, but it’s different now. , Also because the surrounding factories are not getting better.

Jobs are really shrinking...

And at this moment, Fabian finally told the financial staff of his proposal first, and then the noise inevitably rang out.

This sound pierced Fabien's nerves again, and he felt his anger almost overwhelming.

In fact, it’s nothing. In order not to worsen the status quo, Fabien decided to suspend work in the factory from today. It is not only that the workshop workers are not working, everyone should stop doing it. When will work resume, see when he can pay the salary. .

This basically reveals the meaning of telling everyone that the factory is going to be finished. They are on strike, but don't think about losing their jobs, especially when the current season is not good.

In addition, the consumer mindset cultivated by the American Emperor all the year round is to use future money to meet current needs, so most people do not have the habit of saving, that is, they do not have much savings.

There is a saying that money is a bastard, you can make money without it. When you have money, you will have an inexplicable desire to consume. The more money, the stronger the desire to consume.

Some people may be satisfied by buying a very expensive new product bag, while others may buy a bottle of wine or a better cigarette after work to enjoy it.In short, everyone can find a way to please themselves.

But if even the basic job of maintaining future consumption is gone, it is very scary.

Because most American citizens have various instalment services, including cars, houses, and electronic products, which is an indispensable monthly expenditure.

These unpaid instalments will be like nooses around people's necks, a light push will take away the hope of continuing to live.

The financial staff is "struggling with reason" and even actively contacted the workers to hope that they can start work as soon as possible, but Fabien still has to pay half a month's salary first. This is the last insistence of those people.

Obviously, let alone half a month, Fabien himself is facing tremendous financial pressure. After all, he has bought a lot of financial products, and people who have enjoyed dividends are now suffering.

Therefore, this decision was something he had thought about several times, not for confrontation.

In the process, Fabien himself was very tired.

Because even if he starts work, he will still not be able to pay his wages in the next few months, because the payment rate has become slower than the original delay, unless these people can really grit their teeth for more time until everything changes slightly. It's normal.

For a while, everyone was at a loss, and the factory said no.

Fabian's eyelids trembled twice, and his voice was dry and hoarse, "No way, the current situation is that I can't pay anymore."

......

Lehman is very concerned about the purchase of the building.

In his vision, the new production site must be at least 13,000 square meters, 8 or 9 stories high, and can accommodate separate areas for Firefly Pictures, Lighting Entertainment, Marvel Pictures, and several co-directors.

The other is the issuance business building that is no less than 5,000 square meters, 4 and 5 storeys high, and specializes in accommodating Blue Butterfly and communicating overseas stations.

These two places don't have to be together, but they can't be too far apart and the traffic is convenient.

As for the digital field, I still stay in the old place. The real estate is very cheap. I bought it early, and there is no need to rely on Hollywood.

Of course, besides buying a house, the most important thing at present is the development of its own project business, which is always the first.

Recently, "Hellboy: The Golden Legion" entered the late stage. The files were set in mid-October. The trial broadcast of Daredevil ended on HBO. It achieved fairly good results and officially signed a contract for drama broadcasting, earning 54 million. Excluding production costs and team profit sharing, it has already made a profit of 12 million US dollars.

As for "Roaring Squadron", because the filming was not so fast, coupled with the schedule issue, Fox TV was scheduled to be broadcast in November, and the evaluation of the internal trial screening was not high. Fox executives believed that the color of the show was too messy and would cause The resistance of traditional whites cannot please blacks. Although Samuel Jackson has the most drama, he himself is not very appealing among blacks.

After all, not every black person is Will Smith.

The implication is that I don’t want to be optimistic about the play. The best case is to meet the passing line, and the investment of resources will not be much.

Regarding this, Lehman didn’t feel anything about it. It’s OK to broadcast. It doesn’t matter if you don’t make any money. It is to supplement the dramas developed by S.H.I.E.L.D. and Marvel IP. The hope is to form a topical degree and feed back the film business. ......
