While in Hollywood, I used Taoist magic to quell American terrorism.

Cao Kun: "You're overthinking it. Do you really think you won't pay the price for what you did today?"

Anne: "What's the price?"

"The talisman I'm burning for you today is called a luck-changing talisman. It's meant to bring forward your good fortune from later in life so you can use it today."

If you use up the good luck you have today, then you are bound to have bad luck.

Cao Kun's expression turned serious, and his tone became extremely solemn: "This bad luck could very well cost you your life."

"what!"

Anne-Heather was startled: "Is it that serious?"

Cao Kun: "Be careful these next few days. If anything seems amiss, tell me immediately."

Anne-Heather's face paled slightly, and she immediately hugged Cao Kun tightly: "Damn, what would I do without you?"

A new transfer ceremony has begun.

The news that Anne Hathaway had been cast as the lead actress in "Hitch" spread quickly throughout Hollywood.

Of course, the four actresses who auditioned also had diarrhea and ended up in the hospital.

An actress is suing Will Smith, alleging she poisoned him.

Will Smith, however, claimed that the actresses were framing him, citing the fact that Anne Hathaway also drank the same beverage but was unharmed.

This series of scandals also made headlines in major media outlets.

It even overshadowed Anne Hathaway's win for the lead role.

But no matter what, "Hitch," which was already quite popular, suddenly attracted even more attention.

Many people who didn't pay attention to this type of movie before now know about this movie, "Hitch".

I now know that the main characters are Will Smith and Anne Hathaway.

Anne Heather was at a critical juncture in her transition.

Now that she's suddenly gained so much attention and popularity, she's been grinning from ear to ear these past two days.

But soon, she stopped laughing.

Her house collapsed completely, turning into ruins.

The collapse was extremely loud, as if an earthquake had occurred.

The dust and smoke it kicked up affected the nearby neighbors.

Her neighbor filed a lawsuit against her, demanding compensation for her losses.

Anne-Heather told Cao Kun about this with great concern, but Cao Kun just laughed when he heard it.

"Looks like your bad luck has arrived."

Anne-Heather pouted slightly, slightly annoyed: "I'm having bad luck, and you're still so happy?"

Cao Kun: "The terrible thing about bad luck is that it is unknown and never comes."

Now that we're here, there's no need to worry anymore.

Moreover, this is not a big deal; it can be resolved by paying some money.

Compared to a sudden, massive crisis that could injure or kill you, this is infinitely better.

Cao Kun thought of Amanda from the past.

If it weren't for him, Amanda would have been dead long ago, leaving not even ashes.

Anne-Heather thought about it and agreed.

She couldn't help but turn her anger into joy: "Yes, I can handle this bit of bad luck."

Cao Kun: "Annie, now that your bad luck is over, you should move out."

Anne-Heather's expression froze slightly: "Can't I really stay here forever?"

Cao Kun looked at Anne Hathaway and said firmly, "No."

Looking into Cao Kun's calm yet undeniably powerful eyes, Anne-Heather sighed softly, "Alright, I'll have someone look for a house tomorrow."

A week later, Anne Hathaway officially moved out of Cao Kun's house.

Cao Kun also personally drove her to her newly rented house.

The house is quite nice; it's a recent building, though not very big, but big enough for Anne-Heather to live in.

That evening, Cao Kun stayed there and held a housewarming ceremony with Anne-Hatherie to celebrate.

The next day, Anne Hathaway officially joined the cast of "Hitch," and Cao Kun also took a taxi to the airport to prepare to fly to New York.

After a period of negotiations, Cao Kun's team finally reached an agreement with Marvel.

Ultimately, Cao Kun acquired 22.12% of Marvel's shares, becoming Marvel's second-largest shareholder.

This would require Cao Kun to pay more than $2.8 million.

In addition, the rights to "Captain America" ​​were sold for $5000 million.

The rights to Thor were sold for $4500 million.

The rights to Iron Man cost $2000 million.

The copyright for Guardians of the Galaxy was $4000 million.

If it's just buying the film rights, it wouldn't cost that much.

However, these are all copyrights, which Cao Kun bought out in one go.

From now on, these heroes will have nothing to do with Marvel.

As for the heroes who were later pledged as collateral, including Ant-Man, Captain Marvel, Black Panther, Hulk, and a whole host of others, Cao Kun agreed to grant them a loan of $4.2 million.

The interest rate is calculated based on the normal interest rate of the financial company.

To this end, Cao Kun also established two companies with the help of Douglas.

A copyright holder used to manage these heroes.

One of them was used for financial lending.

One day later.

At Marvel headquarters, Cao Kun shakes hands with Avi, Perlmutter, and several major Marvel shareholders.

These shares were all diluted from their holdings.

However, given the current uncertain situation of Marvel, they are not too optimistic about it.

After all, Marvel invested $1.4 million to produce "The Incredible Hulk" last year, which was a complete flop.

It almost caused Marvel to go bankrupt.

Currently, they are quite satisfied with Cao Kun's premium acquisition of their shares.

Only Avi and Permat were not entirely satisfied.

They still have ambitions to make their own Marvel blockbuster.

But in order to get the funding, they had no choice but to swallow their pride and accept it.

Looking at the contract in his hand, Cao Kun was overjoyed, but only a faint smile appeared on his face.

"It's a pleasure working with you."

If possible, he would like to buy more heroes.

But Avi and Permat refused to budge, and there was nothing he could do.

Anyway, with all this, we've already made a fortune.

After attending a celebratory party, Cao Kun, along with his Marvel shares and the copyrights to several heroes, returned to Los Angeles with his negotiation team.

With the loan secured, Avi and Perlmutter immediately began preparations for Marvel's next film.

Several plans were put on their agenda.

To film a sequel to The Incredible Hulk.

Although this movie lost a lot of money last year, it still gained some audience favor.

A sequel might be able to turn things around.

Another thing is to find a new hero to film.

They quickly rejected the first option.

So, they began searching for suitable characters in the hero pool.

………………

Before we knew it, it was Halloween at the end of October.

This is equivalent to the Western festival of ghosts.

But at the same time, it was also their night of revelry.

Many places have a tradition of holding costume parties.

Cao Kun had already received many invitations a few days ago.

There was Douglas's daughter, Catherine.

There are Amanda, Megan, Miranda, and Anne Hathaway.

Not only the women she was close to, but also Robert Downey Jr. and Rachel sent invitations.

Each of them represents their own circle.

Whoever Cao Kun chooses, he is considered to have entered their circle.

Just as Cao Kun was hesitating, another call came into his cell phone.

"Master Cao, are you free tomorrow night?"

A pleasant female voice came from the phone.
