Hollywood starts with an agent

Chapter 588 Hollywood Latinos
That evening, in a luxurious villa on the hills of Hollywood Park, overlooking Hollywood Lake, Aaron sat on the sofa with Penelope Cruz in his arms.

"Are you filming a romantic comedy called 'Women on the Edge,' a Hollywood production?"

Aaron stroked the woman's thigh and said casually.

Penelope Cruz nodded. "Yes, this is the second Hollywood production."

Penelope Cruz has a lot of work in Spain and is very famous, which is also the opportunity for her to enter Hollywood;
Her starring role in the Spanish drama "All About My Mother" has received high praise and achieved remarkable success in Europe. It will soon be released in the United States.

"Originally, I also received a script for the adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's novel of the same name, 'The Steed';"

"It's a collaboration between Miramax and Sony Pictures Entertainment, but the head of Miramax was fired, so I don't know if the project will continue."

Penelope Cruz said with a look of regret, "The male lead of 'Stallion' is Hollywood star Matt Damon."

The North American distributor of "All About My Mother" is Sony Classics. Sony may have seen her performance in "All About My Mother" which is why they cast her alongside Matt Damon in "Stallion".

Matt Damon delivered outstanding performances in "Good Will Hunting" and "Saving Private Ryan," and he also has "The Talented Mr. Ripley" waiting to be released this year!

Aaron chuckled and kissed the woman, then reached into her dress to feel her ample bosom. "Miramax just fired the manager, they didn't suspend their trading," he said.

“Miramax is still operating, and even if Miramax stops working on this project, Sony will probably still push it forward.”

"Stallion" is a Western romance film, and Penelope Cruz's Latin American wildness certainly fits the bill!
“I hope so,” Penelope Cruz said, leaning against Aaron, her bra strap slipping down to reveal her curves.
"When the movie 'Wild West' was filming last year, they approached me to play the female role in it."

"However, I was filming 'All About My Mother' at the time and didn't have the time."

"Oh, Warner Bros. approached you about starring in 'Wild West'?"

Aaron was slightly surprised that the actress in the movie "Wild West" was Mexican-American sex symbol Salma Hayek;

Salma Hayek is of Mexican descent, while Penelope Cruz is of Hispanic descent, just like Penelope Cruz.

Penelope Cruz is 25 years old, while Salma Hayek is 33.

"Yes, Wild West is an American Western science fiction comedy film. The production team wanted to find a sexy Latina actress!"

Penelope Cruz was unavailable, so they approached Salma Hayek instead.
“It’s not bad that you didn’t act in it. Look at the reviews for ‘Wild West’, it was a complete flop,” Aaron said, his tone clearly gloating.

Penelope Cruz simply smiled and then unbuckled Aaron's belt.

“Hiss,” Aaron leaned back on the sofa and, without hesitation, reached out and stroked Penelope Cruz’s long hair…

Penelope Cruz has been quite busy lately, not only participating in promotional activities for the film "All About My Mother" but also returning to the set of "Women on the Edge" to continue filming.

So, after her date with Aaron, she left quickly. Although Penelope Cruz didn't ask for anything, Aaron would definitely give her the opportunity she deserved!
Burbank, Dawn Headquarters.

Aaron's investment advisor, Edgar Irwin, came to Aaron's office.

"The Kosovo War caused capital to flow out of Europe and into markets, affecting the value of the euro;"

"The weak economies of Eurozone member states have reduced market demand for the euro; "Now that the Kosovo War is over, the Federal Reserve has begun raising interest rates, which will also accelerate the depreciation of the euro!"

Aaron tapped the table. "I knew the euro would continue to depreciate for a while; it's about to fall below $1."

"Keep an eye on things here. Once the euro exchange rate falls below $0.9, close your position."

Tianhai Fund's $3 million leveraged 10 times could have earned a considerable amount in the foreign exchange market;

I believe it won't be long before the euro falls to $0.9.

Christina Yerry has traveled to shipyards in Europe to oversee her new ultra-large luxury private yacht project, in addition to the Boeing BBJ business jet project, both of which require funds.
Although Aaron is not short of money, he certainly wouldn't mind making money from the euro in the foreign exchange market.

"clear."

Aaron nodded. "What's the situation in China right now?"

Edgar Irving thought for a moment, "Because of the previous Asian financial crisis and last year's massive floods, the effects on China have not completely dissipated."

"China's domestic economy continues to decline, deflationary pressures are intensifying, financing demand is weak, and the stock market is in a bear market. The Chinese government has already taken measures to boost the stock market!"

Aaron is already prepared to increase his investment in China; the Shanghai World Financial Center and large shopping mall projects are certainly not enough.

"What about my investments in South Korea? South Korea's economy has recovered well in the last two years, so it's time for me to withdraw my funds."

"In October, I want all my capital except for Samsung stock!"

Edgar Irving paused for a moment, "Everything except Samsung?"

"That's quite a lot. Some of the Korean bank stocks we invested in before have seen amazing gains. Although we withdrew 1 trillion won last year, their total value now is no less than 3.6 trillion won."

Aaron smiled, thanks to the appreciation of the Korean won; 3.6 trillion won is now worth 30 billion US dollars!

"Take care of it as soon as possible, but it's not a good idea to bring it directly back to the United States."

Aaron leaned back in his chair and said, "Take it back to the United States. The capital gains tax is 20%!"

"Put it into the Hong Kong account, then you can make comprehensive investments across Asia!"

Hong Kong is an offshore port and one of the international financial centers, so it's very convenient.

Aaron nodded. "Yes, it's convenient to use even in Europe."

Tianhai Fund and Haihua Investment Company are both registered in the Cayman Islands. How can they avoid taxes? Aaron trusts Edgar Irwin's team!
Now, it is indeed time to increase our overseas investment business, whether it is fixed assets, stocks and bonds;

East Asia and Western Europe are both key areas for Aaron, as they are, like the North American market, the three poles of the world.

Especially Chinese internet companies, which are probably still in their infancy!
After Edgar Irving left, Aaron casually flipped through the newspaper on the table: "Jack Sung appears in Los Angeles' Chinatown to promote his new movie 'Rush Hour 2'..."
