Hollywood starts with an agent

Chapter 487 Donating Money to Save the Country
Berkshire Hathaway’s core business is insurance, but since the 1990s it has also begun to expand into sectors such as energy, transportation and industrial manufacturing.
The company has moved beyond simple stock investments to fully acquiring and operating businesses, maintaining its diversified and long-term investment strategy.

That evening, in their Upper East Side villa, Aaron lay in the warm bathtub with Christina Yerry in his arms!
“Mmm,” Christina Yerry nestled in Aaron’s arms, kissing him passionately.

A short while later, Aaron let out a long breath, looked at the sexy woman in his arms with a flushed face and slightly rapid breathing, and stroked her long hair. "You're still so attractive!"

Christina Yerry smiled and snuggled against the man. "You've been away from America for quite a while now. You must have accumulated a lot of things, right?"

Aaron shook his head. "It's nothing major. I'm going to Toronto in a couple of days to take a look."

This is because the Canadian government officially launched the "Film Production Tax Refund Program" this year, which can provide subsidies of up to 30% for film production costs incurred locally.
This plan is, of course, aimed at attracting more film production companies to shoot films in Canada, thereby promoting the development of the local film industry. In addition, Canada has its own local film support fund, all of which are for the purpose of developing the entertainment industry.

Toronto, as Canada's largest city, is a leader in the economy, technology, and entertainment!

"I know about Canada. Quite a few Hollywood film companies are planning to increase their filming schedules in Canada this year."

Christina Yerry is in the entertainment industry, so she's aware of this kind of news.

"Yes, large Hollywood studios like ours place great importance on controlling film costs."

"Filming costs in the US are not low, but the environment in Toronto is quite suitable, with both American and European architectural styles!"

Dawn intends to build a multi-functional studio in Toronto to provide another filming location for future Dawn productions.

"Yes, Dawn is producing more and more blockbusters these days. Going to the UK is a bit far, but Canada is much closer!"

Aaron patted the woman in his arms, "We should get up..."

With Thanksgiving approaching, Aaron brought Christina Yerry to Toronto, the capital of Ontario, Canada.

Toronto is located in Southern Ontario on the northwest shore of Lake Ontario, bordering New York State to the southeast and Ottawa, the capital of Canada, to the northeast.

Toronto's winter climate is cold, and Aaron seemed to prefer Vancouver on the west coast, so he made a special trip to inspect the industrial area south of Toronto that borders Lake Ontario.
The Toronto government intends to develop this area into an entertainment industry park.

"So, do you have any ideas?"

Back at the hotel, Christina Yeri helped Aaron take off his coat and asked for his opinion.

Ontario borders Quebec, which has the largest French-speaking population in North America, and Montreal is the world's largest French-speaking city outside of Paris!

Christine Yerry and Sophie Marceau both frequently visit Quebec to experience the French atmosphere.

Aaron sat down on the sofa. "Filming here is fine, but running a film studio is out of the question."

"We'll have to wait until Toronto improves some of its infrastructure first, maybe in a few years."

Dawn came to Canada to film in order to save costs, so why would they spend money to build infrastructure?

"However, I've always heard that Toronto is a great place to settle down, with four distinct seasons, a pleasant climate, and all the good things about it!"

Christina Yellie nodded. “Toronto is nice, but not as nice as Vancouver. The winters here are too cold.”

Vancouver, located on the west coast and bordering the Pacific Ocean, has a temperate maritime climate with mild and humid conditions year-round. Toronto, on the other hand, has a temperate continental humid climate, which is also quite mild, with relatively warm springs and summers compared to other parts of Canada!
"Too……"

After a three-day stay in Toronto, Aaron returned to New York, just as December arrived.
The NFL league meeting was held primarily to vote on the owners of the new teams to be added in Los Angeles and Houston.

Under the chairmanship of NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue, the league’s 31 owners voted, and Los Angeles won by a landslide with a score of 29 to 2.
Houston lost because its market is not as good as Los Angeles'. The league knows the spending power of a cosmopolitan metropolis like Los Angeles.

"Aaron, you need to produce a feasibility report for the Los Angeles stadium project within six months, whether it's repairing existing, outdated stadiums or building a new one."

"The prerequisite for Los Angeles to have an NFL team is the stadium issue."

Paul Taliab couldn't help but remind Aaron Anderson again that the league knew Anderson Sports had plans to build a new stadium in Inglewood, Los Angeles.

But with such a large-scale project, no one can guarantee that it will continue.
Aaron nodded. "Don't worry, the new Hollywood Park stadium in Inglewood will definitely be built."

"No problem with the government or the legislature, I'll provide the funding, the new NFL team in Los Angeles is sure to be a success!"

“It’s good that you have confidence,” Paul Taliab said, not worried about Aaron Anderson. As long as he put his heart into it, there wouldn’t be a big problem.

On December 3, 1997, the IMF and South Korea reached an aid agreement, in which South Korea agreed to the IMF's requirements for reforms in South Korean finance and enterprises, and the IMF would provide South Korea with $58 billion in financial assistance.

The IMF agreed to lend $210 billion, with the remainder provided by multilateral financial institutions. South Korea drew down $56 billion on the same day the agreement was reached.

"Two weeks later, on December 18th, after the first review, $35.8 billion was available for withdrawal; three weeks later, after the second review, another $10.9 billion was granted."

"This is the first batch of aid funds that the IMF has provided to South Korea!"

Manhattan, Dawn Tower, Edgar Irwin reports to Aaron.

"Great, the South Korean stock and currency markets are about to hit rock bottom."

"It's time to make our move. Go to South Korea as soon as possible and proceed according to plan. I've already spoken with Samsung's Lee Kun-hee."

"He knows what to do."

Aaron leaned back in his chair. Now that South Korea's financial market has been brutally opened up, South Korean assets are dirt cheap!

Edgar Irving nodded. Wall Street was now eager to carve up South Korea.

"How did the people of South Korea react?"

Aaron inquired, after all, the agreement signed between South Korea and the IMF was no different from selling out the country.

"The public was in a state of high spirits, and many people were even calling on the public to donate money to save the country!"

"Donate gold to save the country?" Aaron smiled. South Korea owes a large amount of foreign debt, and the Korean won has depreciated by more than half.

"Yes, a lot of people responded..."
