Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

Lin Yuan looked at Ron DuPont meaningfully, which made Ron, who was already feeling guilty, feel uneasy.

He did have some plans in mind, and was a little nervous when he was looked at by Lin Yuan.

"Given our relationship, tell me the truth. Isn't Linyuan Pictures' performance close to your limit now?"

This sentence can be translated into another way:

"Has Linyuan Pictures' stock price peaked?"

A company's market value is supported by its performance.

The performance of Lin Yuan Pictures is solely due to Lin Yuan.

So if Lin Yuan is approaching his limit, then the performance of Lin Yuan Pictures is approaching its limit.

Although Linyuan Pictures' current PE (price-to-earnings ratio) of more than 40 times is not high, it is definitely not low either.

If Linyuan Pictures cannot continue to maintain performance growth in the future, it means that the valuation cannot be digested.

In this case, a PE ratio of 40 seems a bit high. Assuming that all profits are distributed as dividends, it can be roughly understood as an annualized rate of return of 2.5%.

There are many products on the market with an annualized investment return rate higher than 2.5%, so there is no need to hold on to Linyuan Pictures' stocks.

So it's not surprising that Ron DuPont started to think big.

Although he has made a fortune as a major shareholder, most of this wealth is still on paper and may shrink at any time if it is not cashed out in time.

Although Ron DuPont made considerable profits as a major shareholder of Linyuan Pictures, the shares he held could basically only be sold through agreement transfer, and it was difficult to sell them to shareholders in the secondary market.

In fact, Ron DuPont did not want to completely sell out his shares, because in the long run, he still wanted to move forward with Lin Yuan.

But this does not prevent him from considering selling part of the shares at this point in time, such as finding a big buyer to transfer 2%.

Facing Ron's probing, Lin Yuan asked, "Aren't you afraid of being implicated in insider trading by asking me this kind of question privately?"

"I would never do anything illegal." Ron DuPont said seriously.

But he quickly added, "It's just the two of us here. What you say is known only to you and me."

Lin Yuan almost laughed out loud. He just liked the way you old tycoons acted both powerful and insolent.

"Do you want to hear the truth or something nice?" Lin Yuan asked with a smile.

Hearing Lin Yuan's words, Ron Dupont immediately said seriously, "I understand. Thank you!"

Lin Yuan didn't directly answer Ron Dupont's question, but under normal circumstances, the subtext of his statement was:
Current performance has reached its peak, and it will be difficult to maintain high growth in the future. There is even a possibility of recession.

Ron DuPont was not surprised at this result.

After all, Linyuan Pictures' performance this year is too exaggerated, and such dazzling results are achieved by relying on the magical combination of "The King of Spy 2" and "The Legendary Road".

Ron DuPont knew very well that such a movie would be extremely difficult to replicate, and he couldn't expect Lin Yuan to make a movie with even more exaggerated box office next year.

Since performance has peaked, it is indeed time to consider selling some stocks.

Currently, Linyuan Pictures' stocks are in great demand. Ron DuPont is not worried about not finding buyers. He has secretly made plans to sell some of the stocks.

All of Ron DuPont's psychological activities could not be hidden from Lin Yuan, who had the ability to read minds.

Seeing him think over and over again, as if he had made up his mind, Lin Yuan smiled and said, "What do you know? Did I tell you the answer?"

Ron Dupont was stunned. "Aren't you hinting that my performance has peaked?"

"Is there a possibility that the truth I told you is actually something nice to say?"

"..."

This really made Ron DuPont helpless.

Will Linyuan Pictures' future performance continue to rise?
This conclusion made Ron DuPont a little unbelievable, but when he thought about how Lin Yuan always did what he said, since he said there would be no problem with the performance, then there must be no problem.

So Ron DuPont began to give up the idea of ​​transferring his shares.

He still has great trust in Lin Yuan, so he naturally cannot give up on taking advantage of Lin Yuan Pictures' performance and making steady profits.

Lin Yuan smiled and asked, "Did you think the stock price had peaked and wanted to cash out some of your shares?"

Ron DuPont felt a little embarrassed when his little trick was exposed by Lin Yuan, but he did not hide it.

If you still don't dare to admit it at this time, it would seem too hypocritical.

Ron Dupont said helplessly, "I do have that thought. After all, I'm also responsible for the family's return on investment. Otherwise, there will be a lot of noise."

"Then you should sell your stocks." Lin Yuan said.

Lin Yuan's answer once again confused Ron DuPont.

He found that he had no advantage at all in front of this young man in his early twenties, and was always unsure of Lin Yuan's thoughts.

Didn’t they say that performance would continue to rise?

Then why do you advise me to sell stocks?
Maybe Lin Yuan himself is not 100% sure that future performance will increase, so for the sake of risk hedging, he suggests that I sell some stocks?

Ron DuPont asked tentatively, "Then I should sell a quarter of my shares?"

"No, sell them all." Lin Yuan answered firmly.

"..."

Ron Dupont's heart was in turmoil: What on earth do you mean?! ! !
You tell me that the performance is fine, but at the same time you ask me to sell all my shares?
Does this mean that you are not going to make money with our DuPont consortium?

Seeing that Ron DuPont was about to go crazy, Lin Yuan knew that he could not tease him anymore.

If I give him some pause and then present my true thoughts, Ron DuPont will be more receptive, but I can't make him start to doubt everything.

Lin Yuan smiled and explained, "First of all, there will be no problem with the future performance of Lin Yuan Pictures. You don't have to worry about how I will do it, but I can guarantee it to you.

Secondly, I suggest you sell your Linyuan Pictures shares because there are better projects for you."

"A better project?" Ron DuPont was surprised again.

During the conversation with Lin Yuan today, he was already a little dizzy from the repeated pulling.

Unexpectedly, Lin Yuan suggested that he sell his shares in Lin Yuan Pictures in order to recommend him a project with higher returns?

Lin Yuan replied: "According to my calculations, Lin Yuan Pictures will not be able to continue its explosive growth in the future, but it can still maintain around 8%."

Ron DuPont nodded. It was true that the film industry could not maintain endless high growth. Being able to maintain an 8% annual growth was already very impressive. For most investors, this was also a very good return.

Lin Yuan continued, "But I have two better projects. You can take a look."

After saying that, Lin Yuan handed Ron DuPont two project plans.

After reaching out to take the plan, Ron Dupont immediately began to read it carefully. "Commercial Real Estate Investment in Mainland China" had a five-year project lifecycle and an estimated annual return of 5%.

The Overall Development Plan for the Congo Region has a 15-year project cycle and an estimated annual return rate of 17%.

Faced with the two plans handed over by Lin Yuan, Ron DuPont fell into deep thought for a moment.

He did not reply to Lin Yuan immediately, but read Lin Yuan's plan over and over again.

Lin Yuan, who was sitting opposite Ron DuPont, did not urge him. He just picked up the milk coffee in front of him and took a big sip.

Both of these projects are projects that Lin Yuan is full of confidence in.

Commercial real estate projects in the mainland mainly refer to the packaged urban CBDs and Fanyu Film and Television City, which have always been managed by Liu Yufei in China.

After nearly five years of operation, the project has entered its mature stage and there is no doubt about its future profit prospects.

As a reborn person, Lin Yuan is 06% sure that the domestic real estate industry will enter a period of rapid development after .

He did not touch the residential commercial housing with serious side effects, but relying on the prime locations in major cities and CBD projects that he acquired in his early years, he was already making a fortune.

When the CBD project starts to earn excess profits, it will definitely attract a lot of covetous eyes.

Although his own foreign investment status is one layer of protection, his superstar influence is the second layer of protection, and the domestic interest alliance headed by Fei Yang is the third layer of protection.

But Lin Yuan still felt that it was not enough. He had to continue distributing the profits so that he could hold on to the earnings.

The DuPont consortium represented by Ron DuPont is definitely an optional partner.

Unlike the mature commercial real estate projects in the mainland, the overall development in Congo is just getting started.

He only got involved in the local area at the end of 2004 when he was filming "Jungle Bully".

It has only been a year now.

It has to be said that from President Kabila, to Mr. Kano, and then to Buta's operation, a three-dimensional network from national to local level has been formed, which has enabled the entire project to advance at an extremely fast speed.

Currently, a preliminary pilot has been carried out around Xiala Village, verifying the profitability of this plan.

The natural next step is to roll it out across Kisangani.

At this stage, it is naturally necessary to introduce more partners to protect this project and share the project profits.

Lin Yuan waited quietly for Ron DuPont to make a decision.

This was also a test for Ron DuPont.

The worst outcome, of course, is that Ron DuPont does not believe in the profit prospects of these two projects and chooses to hold on to his shares in Linyuan Pictures.

Because compared with the two projects across the ocean, Linyuan Pictures is the project that is within his reach and easiest to understand.

People like to hold on to familiar things and reject unfamiliar investments.

In Lin Yuan's opinion, Ron DuPont would not be so complacent as to hold on to Lin Yuan Pictures' shares and be satisfied with an annual return on investment of 8%.

He is most likely to choose domestic commercial real estate projects.

Because among the three options, this one has an appropriate cycle, moderate yield, and relatively controllable risk.

After all, the domestic investment environment has a very good reputation.

In recent years, China has never adopted the Indian approach of closing the door and beating the dog when attracting investment.

In comparison, a "wild land" like Congo faces the danger of war and the uncontrollable risks are indeed much higher.

Therefore, even though the project in the Congo region is expected to have an annual return rate of up to 17% and can enjoy long-term benefits for up to 15 years, Lin Yuan believes that the possibility of Ron DuPont choosing this is not high.

Ron Dupont seemed to have made up his mind. He said, "I'm quite familiar with the Chinese projects and am quite optimistic about them. However, I'm not very familiar with Congo, so I'm a little unsure."

"So you chose China's commercial real estate projects?" Lin Yuan asked.

"No!"

Lin Yuan: (1`1;)
I pushed back and forth too much tonight, and now he's playing the game of retaliating?
Ron Dupont smiled and said, "Although I don't know Congo and can't be sure, I know you and I trust you."

"so?"

“So I’m going to take them all!”

"Want them all?"

"I'm not selling my Linyuan Pictures shares anymore. I've invested in the Chinese project and I'm also involved in the Congo project. I want all three!"

After hearing Ron DuPont's answer, even if Lin Yuan had the ability to "read minds", he could not have imagined such a result.

Such an answer implies a very deep trust.

If you want to invest safely, it is best not to put all your eggs in one basket.

Ron DuPont seems to have invested in three projects, as if putting his eggs in three baskets.

But the problem is that these three baskets are all on Lin Yuan’s table.

If something happens to Lin Yuan, the table will fall and all the eggs will be broken.

Lin Yuan wasn't sure why Ron DuPont trusted him so much, but no matter what, he wouldn't allow Ron DuPont to do that, because then he would have no cards to play.

So Lin Yuan shook his head and said, "You can invest in the two projects I mentioned at the same time, but the total investment cannot exceed 200 billion US dollars.

At the same time, once you invest in these two projects, you must transfer all of your shares in Linyuan Pictures to the buyer I designate."

Ron DuPont was stunned when he heard Lin Yuan's answer.

What is the condition?
It is understandable that the total investment amount does not exceed US$200 billion.

After all, we are making money with him, so we can't allow him to inject capital without limit, otherwise he might become the main investor.

Lin Yuan managed the amount of 200 billion US dollars very cleverly.

Because in the investment in Linyuan Pictures, the DuPont consortium invested US$174 billion, and the current net profit on the books is also US$174 billion.

This is close to the amount of US$200 billion, which is equivalent to the DuPont consortium withdrawing its principal and using the profits for investment.

If you make money, it will be considered as extra profit, and if you lose money, it will not affect your original capital.

But they are required to withdraw completely from Lin Yuan Pictures and transfer the business to the buyer designated by Lin Yuan. What is the logic behind this?
Facing Ron Dupont's doubts, Lin Yuan laughed and said:
“Don’t think too much. The total investment I can handle is limited. You can’t occupy several positions at the same time, right?

I'll give you a better profit project to eat meat, but you have to allow me to share this bowl of soup with other friends, right? "

After hearing Lin Yuan's explanation, Ron DuPont immediately understood.

An idea suddenly emerged in his mind:
The young are formidable! (End of this chapter)
