My own war game

Chapter 406 Flying to Hollywood

A total of 1.1 million US dollars and 8000 million pounds, with a total value roughly equivalent to % of the US annual GDP at that time.

In the future world, the assets controlled by the world's richest man will probably be only 0.8% of the US GDP.

Faced with such a huge fortune, Benjamin didn't know how to deal with it.

In his understanding, such a huge fortune could not be a reward for himself alone, so it was obvious that keeping this property was the task assigned to him by He Chi, and it was even a test of his ability.

The first problem he faced was how to spend the money.

Although most of this money has its own independent banknote number and is not easy to be discovered, once such a large amount flows into the market in batches, there is a high probability that problems will arise.

So Benjamin used his creative thinking to open a women's products store, trying to secretly channel the money into the market through retail sales.

The disadvantage of doing this is that it is too slow. Benjamin pessimistically realized that if he wanted to fully rationalize the money in this way, he would probably have to live to be over 100 years old.

Moreover, as Britain and the United States began to launch new currencies, large amounts of old currency became increasingly conspicuous in the market, and the risk of laundering began to increase.

At this time, the South African incident provided Red Mercury with a perfect solution.

The African Democratic Alliance was established, and part of the money was used as a political donation, led by Christine and directly invested in Mandela to help him through the campaign.

These gray-area expenditures provided a good outlet for funds, and when Mandela rose to power step by step, Red Mercury, as his "angel investor", acquired a large amount of land and minerals at extremely low prices, and some were even given away for free.

It can be said that the status of red mercury in South Africa was created by the French girl with "real money".

"When did you learn all this?" He Chi never thought that Christine had such a financial mind.

"A woman must constantly enrich herself to appear attractive." Christine smiled coquettishly, with a little complacency on her face.

"So all this money has been turned into factories and mines?" He Chi continued to ask.

"It's just a part of it." The French girl took out a list and handed it to He Chi as she walked. "We invested in a series of financial products and slowly laundered the remaining assets. The subsequent income will be real US dollars."

He Chi took the list and quickly scanned it. After seeing the line of text at the bottom of the list, he casually asked, "Why are there movies?"

"My dear, you don't know much about this industry. The film and television industry is the easiest industry to launder assets. Whether it's the cost of filming or the box office in the later stage, the accountants have countless ways to make large amounts of money appear reasonable."

At this point, Christine seemed to suddenly remember something, and she half-jokingly said, "By the way, do you want to take a vacation? A movie we invested in is about to start filming, and you can go there as an investor and have some fun, and you can even play a role."

"Where?"

"Where else could it be? Hollywood, Dream Theater."

"I'll just..."

"Players, please note that the Hollywood Star copy has been opened. The goal is to successfully complete the movie invested by Christine. The reward will not be decrypted for the time being." The system's voice sounded in my ears.

"Well, maybe it's a good idea to go and take a look." He Chi changed his tone stiffly.

Three days later, the disguised He Chili flew to the United States under the false identity of a Dutch investor, which confused Christine who was originally joking.

She didn't expect that a casual remark would really bring He Chi to the other side of the world. At the same time, she was a little surprised that his male companion did not show any interest in the film and television industry. "Sir, this is an investment report for Hollywood movies, involving information about relevant personnel, please take a look." A subordinate handed a document to the French girl.

"Leave it there. I'll look at it when I have time." Christine took the list and wanted to take it away after just taking a quick look at it. After all, it was not that important whether the movie used for accounting was good or bad.

It wasn't until she saw the cast list that the expression on her face suddenly became more vivid.

Christine regretted what she had just said.
-
United States, West Coast, California, Hollywood.

Director John Huston has had a hard time recently. First, "The Misfits", which he spent a lot of effort to shoot last year, suffered a box office disastrous performance. Despite gathering top stars such as Clark Gable, Marilyn Monroe, and Montgomery Clift, the film's commercial reputation was dismal, and in the end it failed to even recoup its costs.

One of the main reasons is that during the filming of the movie, the condition of American national treasure actress Monroe plummeted and she often suffered from mental problems.

This not only greatly increased the shooting period, but also increased the overall cost by a large margin. However, the overall quality of the film did not improve. After the film was released, audiences even wrote letters to protest, saying that he had taken away the light in Monroe's eyes.

Damn it! How could I know she was in this state now? No one told me!
Houston cursed angrily.

He is less than 60 years old this year and is one of the young directors. He had ambitiously planned to compete for an Oscar with this film, but now it has turned out like this.

Being so proud and arrogant, he could not accept such a reality.

The trouble is yet to come. He has just got a great script that is very likely to become an Oscar-level movie.

But at this moment, he received news that the investor wanted to place his own people in the crew.

If it were in the past, he would never accept this kind of behavior of an amateur guiding professionals, but now he is constrained by others in terms of funding and script authorization and has to compromise.

I hope the guys sent by the other side are easier to deal with, Houston thought.

dang dang ~~
There was a gentle knock on the door, and the third trouble came.

A blonde woman wearing a dress, sunglasses and a headscarf flashed in.

The face is oval, with even proportions, soft lines, a slightly rounded chin, and high cheekbones that don't appear abrupt but instead make people feel delicate.

Her eyes are light brown and her nose is small and straight with a slightly upturned tip, which adds a sense of playfulness to her and forms a delicate balance with her overall sexy temperament.

The flawless, porcelain-white skin is delicate and smooth, making people want to touch it.

Even though the woman's mental state has not been very good for half a year, it is undeniable that she is still the peerless beauty God has given to America - Marilyn Monroe.

"Marilyn, why are you here alone? Where is your agent?" the director asked the sexy girl who suddenly broke in.

"Houston, I've adjusted myself now and can perform at my best. Can I audition again for your new movie?" Monroe, who was eager to return to the top, even had a hint of pleading in her tone.

"I'm sorry, Marilyn. I value our friendship, but the preliminary selection for the new film crew has already been completed."

Houston apologized and handed over a script that read
Title: "007 Legend - Nuclear Crisis"

Director...Editor...

Actress: Audrey Hepburn (tentative)
