Chapter 146 Making Money by Speculating in Stocks

Li Jiaxin and Drew Barrymore are mostly busy filming.

Tang Jinshan was also busy making money.

He currently has over 300 million in his hands, which is more than 40 million US dollars.

The box office revenue share for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" in its first month is expected to be 3500 million.

There are several other ways to make money.

First, it involves mortgaging the future returns of Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon.

Secondly, the mortgaged company includes the IPs of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Lord of the Rings, as well as future revenue.

It's even possible to manipulate the system by using the pre-sale box office revenue of Lord of the Rings as collateral.

In its previous life, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" raised its filming funds in this way.

Hollywood is very adept at various financial maneuvers.

However, this method also has drawbacks.

The review process takes too long; it will take forever to complete the process.

Sometimes, funds need to be earmarked for specific purposes.

Therefore, he chose to use the IPs of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Lord of the Rings as collateral.

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon has already grossed nearly 200 million yuan at the box office, and with various related copyrights, its revenue will be no less than the box office.

Even excluding the first month's share, there are plenty of people willing to pay 100 million.

The Lord of the Rings had a total investment of 250 million, and he personally invested 100 million of that money.

Although the outside world is generally not optimistic about this project and it is very risky, if it is sold for 100 million, there will be no shortage of people willing to take it over.

Considering the time constraints, a folded price would be enough to attract buyers in no time.

Looking at it this way, it seems that "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is much more valuable than "The Lord of the Rings".

That's just how it is; the gap between the visible benefits and the unknown risks is just that big.

Tang Jinshan's first contact was with his old friend, Xin Xian.

If Robert Shea wants to take it over, that would be ideal, saving him a lot of the review process and paperwork involved in finding a bank to handle the mortgage.

What he lacks most right now is time.

Seeing him go all out, Robert Shay was terrified.

However, given this situation, it's certainly better for him to have it than for Tang Jinshan to have it.

At least the project is under my control.

After some haggling, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon was pledged for $100 million, and The Lord of the Rings trilogy was also pledged for $100 million.

The timeframe is two months.

If Tang Jinshan cannot repay the loan plus 20% interest within two months, the subsequent profits from Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and the Lord of the Rings IP will be at risk.

All of them will belong to the new line.

Tang Jinshan also stipulated that the funds must arrive by the end of this month.

New Line Corporation certainly couldn't come up with that much cash.

I don't know how Robert Shea managed to scrape together the money so quickly.

Two hundred million yuan entered Tang Jinshan's account.

He did not invest in the Nasdaq index.

The Nasdaq index is currently around 3300 points. As far as I remember, it will exceed the 4000-point mark by the end of December.

That was the craziest time.

It is expected to reach its peak of 5000 points on March 10th of next year.

The Nasdaq index contract multiplier is $100, meaning that if you go long, you can make a net profit of $100 for every point it rises.

700 points is $7.

However, the cost is also enormous.

One contract costs 3300 * 100 = 330000 US dollars.

Even with 10x leverage, it would still cost $33,000 per transaction.

Compared to an income of $7, that's only a little over double.

It will take another month for the transaction to be completed.

It takes a long time, costs a lot, and has low profits.

It's far inferior to the system!

Some stocks can rise several times over, making them much more worthwhile.

He doesn't know which Hong Kong stocks will rise, given the different stocks listed.

It's much clearer here!

After all, the losses I suffered were numerous and the memories are vivid.

On December 1st, the first month's box office revenue share for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" finally arrived.

Of the $3500 million share, Tang Jinshan only received 60%, or $2100 million.

However, he didn't plan to split the profits so quickly.

A total of 2.75 million was allocated to artificial intelligence and invested in the stock market.

I have a large position in several stocks.

AKAM, a content delivery network, is currently trading at $14.3.

LQID, a digital music company, is currently trading at 18.6.

INCY, a bioinformatics company, is currently trading at 72.4.

Tang Jinshan then flew to New Zealand.

Fan Shuibing completed her promotional activities in Europe and other regions before returning to the film crew to continue filming.

He happened to be going over to take a look.

Moreover, as an investor, not having visited the film set is unacceptable.

"Brother, you've finally come to see me!"

Fan Shuishui was extremely excited.

I've been stuck in this closed-off film crew for so long, I'm almost suffocating.

When we went to promote the place, it was just a quick tour, but we were so tired that we didn't have the mood to appreciate the scenery.

"Boss."

Zhang Chuanmei's gaze was also intense.

Tang Jinshan traveled thousands of miles to see his daughter; this is an act of great favor.

"How's filming going? Have you been learning a lot from the Hollywood team?"

Tang Jinshan rubbed Fan Bingbing's head.

She has become even more charming and graceful after not seeing her for several months.

People have grown up a lot, and their baby fat has faded considerably.

Her face was exquisite and captivating, and she stood out gracefully.

"Of course! I've always worked very hard!"

Fan Bingbing cherishes the opportunity that Tang Jinshan gave her.

They invested such a large sum of money, yet gave her the role of an elf princess.

Even as an investor, one has to bear a lot of pressure.

She could sense the hostility some people had towards her on set.

However, with Tang Jinshan as an investor, no one dared to make any rash moves.

Some discordant elements were also eliminated by the director.

Moreover, Hollywood film crews are very different from those in China, and there is so much for her to learn.

In the three months she spent here, even her English improved a lot.

Upon learning that she could ride horses, wield swords and guns, and film action scenes at such a young age, the director added many more scenes in those areas for her.

The plot lines have become much richer.

When "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was released, some people admired and liked her even more after seeing her portrayal of Yu Jiaolong.

This little girl has a lot of energy inside her!

They all felt inferior to him.

They even gained some fans.

So she received much better treatment on set, and many people were willing to teach her real skills.

Even the director and others consulted him on how to perform action scenes.

How to ride a horse, how to wield a sword.

She has become the darling of the crew.

Fan Bingbing described it to Tang Jinshan in vivid detail, puffing out her small chest with pride on her face.

"Looks like you're living a pretty comfortable life!"

Tang Jinshan was happy for her too.
