"Fuck, ten dollars? It's also a special price, why don't you grab it."
The unveiling of White Cinemas did not attract much attention.After all, there are only a dozen or so, which is really nothing.The two guys at the entrance of the cinema were talking lively.Suddenly, a group of older children rushed over, swearing and swearing.
"Shet, if I can't get the ticket, Annie should be disappointed. If she is disappointed, when will my junior brother career end. Get out of the way, out of the way."
The two people who were pushed aside couldn't help being stunned, Nima, don't you want to be so exaggerated!Rent a video and take it home, it's an old movie.
"Brothers, this is an old movie, is there anything special about it?"
"Old movies? Do you know the wool, do you understand IMAX movies? It feels like being there. Are you from New York?" After finishing speaking, he looked like an idiot.The contempt on his face was really too much.
"Cut, isn't it just a 3D movie? What's the big deal?"
As soon as the guy finished speaking, he was greeted with loud ridicule.Only the one-eyed man was more kind, so I explained it to him.
"Brother, the previous ones are just pseudo 3D. Only the IMAX version of 3D can have that immersive feeling. Don't talk about the previous 3D movies that only make people dizzy."
The scene above happened not only in New York, but also in Los Angeles.At the same time, the White Cinemas in more than ten regions around the world also staged this scene.
Someone said, are you kidding? Not so many people will pay attention to it.To put it bluntly, I am not an industry insider, who knows what this IMAX is.
Well, you guessed it, this is shameless hype.From BBS, which young people are keen on now, to TV news.William White hyped IMAX in a very stealthy and gentle way.
To put it bluntly, it's a bit of viral marketing.People who have seen it are all kinds of show off and hatred.Those who have not bought tickets are all kinds of envy and hatred.There is hope that the stuff that can have sex is simply fabricated.
William White has decided to be shameless for this IMAX.Anyway, as long as there is money to be made, everything else doesn't matter.
It can’t be done without hype. Professional investigation agencies have produced their reports.For this latest film technology.Everyone generally maintains a wait-and-see attitude.
Nima, this is the rhythm of investing all in your hands.William White has already thought about it, when it comes to painting in Jurassic Park. IMAX tickets may not sell at all.
Three or four times the price is not a small number.People who are more price sensitive will not choose IMAX.Ever since, the hype in advance began.
Faced with the sudden explosion of IMAX theaters, Hollywood giants were dumbfounded.They thought that William White would launch an advertising campaign in the next year, and like his Tesla, he would increase his popularity through intensive advertising bombing.
It's just that they seem to be wrong, and the IMAX theaters have quietly started a trial run.It didn't cause any waves, and there wasn't any advertising bombardment, everything seemed very Buddhist.
But why are you so popular?This is not scientific at all!
What about the marketing guru?
What about high and low?
Damn it, an old movie is so popular, wait until it is painted in Jurassic Park.You don't have to worry about having a place.
Tsk tsk, let's talk about this theater chain, the grade is really high.Those ordinary studios are also extremely luxuriously decorated.Well, this kind of place is indeed suitable for taking female friends to visit.
"Boss, our plan has succeeded. It seems that those old guys should be moved."
"Hehe, anyway, there are ten companies every year. If there are too many, we have no ability. We still need to be more cautious. If the game crashes, there will be no one going into the water in the future."
"Yeah, you learn a lot from a pitfall. The turmoil in the 70s caused heavy losses to many companies."
"The most important thing is the content. The movies suitable for IMAX are actually very limited. The current computer simulation technology is not good enough, and there is no way to complete the special effects I need."
"You should go and urge Lucas. This guy has made a lot of money recently. It seems reasonable to invest more in special effects companies."
"It has little to do with him. The speed of the 3D accelerator card is too low to meet the requirements. It is not cost-effective to develop a GPU specifically. Let's wait and see. This is a matter for the entire semiconductor industry."
Of course Lucas is very happy, and when the Terminator is drawn, he can make another fortune.I was still worried about the cost issue, but now it seems that my worries are completely unnecessary.
Well, need to find some good scripts.That guy William White is right, the bigger the production, the more suitable for this IMAX.It's just that, in this way, those smaller independent film companies will be in trouble.These things are not something small companies like them can worry about.
Movie tickets starting at $[-], tsk tsk, if this continues, ET's box office record may not be kept.
As a veteran of Hollywood, Lucas knows it all too well.It doesn't matter whether these bosses like it or not, as long as the shareholders like it.Only big productions can attract Wall Street capital, and only big productions can make big profits.
As for whether anyone will rush to the street, to be honest, no one cares.
It's just that there are ten theaters a year.Fuck, isn't this a bit too much?When Lucas first heard the news, he thought it was hunger marketing.It now appears that this is not the case at all.
He can now imagine what the lottery next year will be like.
Hey, this guy, why did you do this?Take the theater line into your own hands...
As soon as this thought came up, he was cut off immediately.Yep, that damn antitrust law.Not to mention anything else, it is estimated that even the theater chain in his hands will need to be sold.
Chapter 575
Lucas' concerns, William White thought of when he promoted the plan.The group of elites under him did not live for nothing. How to avoid these risks had been planned early on.
"Auto finance? What is this?"
"Tesla Motors joined forces with Lehman Brothers and Bear Stearns, and by the way, AIG and White Bank. They created a package. White Bank offered low-interest car loans, and these loans were packaged and processed by Lehman and Bell. Stern securitized. AIG fully insured."
"Si, this is, when did this happen?"
"It's just started. Before that, they controlled the leak of news very strictly."
"It's troublesome now."
"Yes, in such a cycle, there is no end to the money at White Bank. As long as those bonds are bought."
"Needless to say, triple-A bonds will be taken over no matter what. If Lehman and Bear Stearns accept leverage... My God, this is a plan that can be implemented across the United States."
Unlike the restless Morgan Stanley, Lehman and Bear Stearns are proud.Triple A level, must be triple A level.Once it reaches this level, a lot of overseas capital will buy it.
There are actually many companies like Temasek, and all of these companies have one characteristic.That is extreme risk aversion.As for earnings?As long as it is close to the yield of national debt, high risk is not their thing.
Someone said, you can buy all the government bonds, why do so many things?
Ha ha, this is really impossible.Lao Mei is really too arrogant, if the money owed to you is not much, everyone can live in peace.If there are trillions of dollars in borrowing, they might as well fight you.
The wind and rain here at Morgan Stanley were miserable, but Lehman and Bear Stearns were extremely comfortable.Although they can't catch up with Morgan Stanley, they can still challenge Goldman Sachs and Merrill Lynch.
As long as it is an individual, it is known that this plan will be a universal plan.Morgan even knew that Ford had already offered an olive branch, and Chrysler was just about to make a move.
Peanutton also paid great attention to this new product.Some congressmen even suggested that the subsidies thrown to those car companies every year might as well be directly subsidized to consumers.This interest rate is already relatively low. If you add government subsidies, tsk tsk, the picture is really beautiful.
The sudden change left several investment banks dumbfounded.For a while, continuing to go on vacation has become a luxury.If you don't want to be kicked out, you'd better think of a way.
Merrill Lynch is actually okay, it doesn't have much intersection with William White.Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs began to have a headache.It's very clear now that they have plans for a long time ago, but they just avoided them deliberately.
If they don't support Murdoch, it's someone else's headache now.This damned William White is really a guy who must take revenge.
"Can you explain why Goldman Sachs was abandoned? If I remember correctly, the cooperation between William White and Goldman Sachs has always been very pleasant."
The shareholders of Goldman Sachs are furious. Today's economic environment is not good, and everyone is looking for a breakthrough.It's all right now, the breakthrough has been made, but it's a pity that it belongs to someone else, so there's really no need to mention the frustration.
Issues of religious belief and race are nothing in the eyes of these vampires.Offend such a strongman for the sake of an unknown news group.That's the rhythm of the head being kicked by a donkey.
"Everyone, everyone, we don't want to see such a situation. I promise here that the relationship will be repaired as soon as possible. In fact, Mr. Haig has already gone to Los Angeles. Everyone, please give us some time."
This is the case with capitalists, even if they supported your move before, they will force you to go to the palace now.The reason is obvious, the stocks of Lehman, Bear Stearns, and AIG all bucked the trend and rose.But the wealth in their hands is constantly falling.
Well, in the face of this situation, a collective runaway has become inevitable.Of course, they also have ways, for example, to force those companies to give up part of their interests.There has never been a good end to eating alone.
Even so, the loss of dominance made them heartbroken.The securitization of these loans is clearly only the first step.On this basis, countless products can be derived, all of which are Wall Street elites, and this thing is transparent at all.It is nothing more than a variety of mathematical models.
Some time ago, William White was injured, and they gloated a little.It's all right now, they were slightly injured, but they were seriously injured.If you continue to toss, God knows what will happen.
William White does not engage in investment banking, which is actually an expression of goodwill.If these bastards weren't too stupid, they would have reciprocated long ago.
Murdoch wants to cry very much now. I am afraid that he will not be able to overcome this difficulty.If you don't want to be penniless, it's better to leave in time.Going back to Tu'ao to herd sheep is better than staying here.
He knew very well that he was just being treated like a baby.If you have nothing to do, you slap twice, which is similar to spanking a child on a rainy day, and you are also idle when you are idle.
"Honey, are you going to Tu'ao tomorrow?"
Little Miss Nicole rolled her eyes at this guy, "Of course I want to spend Christmas with my family."
"Tsk tsk, it's summer over there, what Christmas is there? Santa Claus is afraid he's going to suffer from heat stroke. You'd better stay in Los Angeles."
"It doesn't seem to snow here either. Forget it, we've made an appointment to go on vacation with my parents."
"Don't get tanned, come back early, you don't even know how much I love you." For the thick-faced and dark-hearted William White, lying a lot is nothing at all.Speaking of which, this product is also very funny.Seeing the bad luck of Tu'ao villains, he wanted to have fun with a Tu'ao.Hehe, if the big white sheep finds out, they might just click on this guy.
"Honey, be careful yourself. About your injury, there are rumors outside."
"Well, what did they say about me?"
"Pfft, some people say that you are a widow with a disease."
"Damn, that's not the case, tsk tsk, it looks like I'm too honest, I have to go to nightclubs more in the future."
Don't look at this guy as shameless, he was really right.Compared with the bastards in Hollywood, William White is really not a bad guy.From this point of view, he is definitely an honest child.
Whether it is the women he has now, or the women who have had some scandals, the rewards are still great.At least, so far, few of the women who have a close relationship with him have come out to call him an asshole.
Well, maybe there is, at least not in public.As for whether to scold him in private.
who cares!
In this world, there has never been a free lunch, not even breakfast.To get something, you have to give.This world has never changed anything.
William White is here to make love to each other, but Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs can't calm down anymore.No matter how unhappy the forces behind it are, they don't intend to continue the stalemate with William White.
It's not that I don't know, it's a shock.The assets in the hands of William White have already exceeded [-] billion.Although the inflation in this decade has been serious, the US dollar has not depreciated that much.It's a stupid rhythm for Hao Duanduan to start a war with someone who is close in strength.
It is said that cash is king, and William White has excellent control on this point.Even if he needs to pay high taxes, his companies still insist on high dividends.To some extent, this is also a way to control risk.
Chapter 576 Someone Can't Sit Still
The compromise attitude of Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs blows over the United States like a cold wind in the twelfth lunar month.Once upon a time, they were so aloof and arrogant.
For all this, William White did not show any joy.On the contrary, he felt deeply disturbed.
flinch?
Just kidding, none of the top ten consortiums in the United States have ever flinched.
In William White's view, his retreat is advanced, and others have learned it.The current performances are nothing more than a performance. If you really think that you can face the consortium head-on, hehe, you don’t even know how you died.
If I say that the top ten financial groups are the actual controllers of the United States, I am afraid that many people will not take it seriously.If it is said that the Mi Fed is the black hand behind it, I am afraid it is not comprehensive enough.
In fact, both the US Federal Reserve and the top ten consortiums have been in control for a period of time, and this time is not long.Now it can only be said that a certain force is stronger for a period of time.
Being the boss in the United States is also very sad.Once the interests of these guys are touched.Well, congratulations, you're going to die anytime, anywhere.Not even the president is immune.
In this world, the president of the United States is definitely a very dangerous profession.It seems that someone has done statistics, and there are really not many people who have not been assassinated.
Not to mention the failures, there were four who were successfully killed.Without exception, all of them have a vague relationship with financial oligarchs.
The most excessive one, that is, Kennedy.The reason for the murderer's assassination is very strange, and the death is even more inexplicable.The most outrageous thing is that all eighteen insiders died unexpectedly.
William White is very sure that if he did not have this group of security guards.His life will not be very safe.
In such a civilized society, such a situation is simply unimaginable.The funniest thing is that the person who intends to kill the US boss is either crazy or crazy.Hehe, these bastards don't even bother to change the script.
"Father, William has made a big deal this time. Those old things don't have any ideas, do they?"
"Hehe, thoughts? Of course they hope to swallow William White. It's just a pity that they didn't pay much attention to him when he was weak. Now? If you don't want to die together, you'd better be honest."
"Isn't it possible that it will be so serious?"
"Hehe, I can't tell you these things. If one day you can become the president, you will naturally know these things."
Little Bush was very surprised. He never thought that these things were kept so secret.It seems that William White's caution is really justified.
"Father, are the special services here reliable? If not, I'll borrow a few from William White."
"Hehe, what do you think is the family background, besides, your father and I have been in the CIA for so many years, you think it is for nothing."
"Tch, according to William White, several special agents around Reagan can be sent to Africa to dig coal. There is absolutely no wrongdoing."
"He had an accident, that's because... well, you don't need to know these things, you just need to know that this world is far darker than you imagined. On this point, William White has a very clear understanding."
People with a discerning eye have already seen that those security companies don't make money at all.In other words, William White did not make money that could have been made.
So the question is, is William White stupid?
The fact is obviously not the case, at least, as long as there is a caring person, it is easy to understand how powerful this security team is.
If their side adopts any inappropriate means, they will definitely be greeted with tragic revenge.
secret?
For some, the secret is nothing short of a joke.Besides, even if you make a mistake, so what?The left and right are just a bunch of bastards, and they can save food.
"Xiaohu, be careful recently, someone may not be able to sit still, if you find something wrong, you don't need to ask for instructions."
"Okay, master, let's raise the security level."
"Well, there are a few small ones in the family, and a special person should be assigned to take care of them."
"Okay, young master, I'll go and inform Uncle Fu."
"Well, be careful sailing for thousands of years."
