Chapter 13 On the Right Track

In Shahai Entertainment's office, bursts of laughter sounded, and the dark cloud over the head of this small production company seemed to have completely dissipated.

"I should go to Abu Dhabi with you guys!"

George Clint sighed bitterly after listening to Robert Lee's poignant description: "This experience is simply legendary! It can be used to make a movie."

Robert Lee nodded: "Yeah, I still can't believe it, it's like a dream."

Mary smiled and said, "I haven't had a good night's sleep since the fundraiser ended."

George Clint took a sip from his water glass and said, "If I could pull in $11 million in investment, I wouldn't be able to sleep well."

Mary shook her head: "I and Robert are limited in what we can do."

"Indeed," Lee said honestly. "Of the $11 million, Ronan negotiated $8.9 million."

George Klint nodded: "We all underestimate Ronan." He sighed: "I just used a dead horse as a living horse doctor at the beginning. I didn't expect that Ronan's plan was not only successful, but also so successful. 11 million Dollars, how long does it take for Sand Sea Entertainment to make so much money?"

The other two were silent, they had no such idea.

Mary said softly, "Ronan has changed."

"Yeah." George nodded.

Robert replied: "Ronan was a smart person and talented. Now he has thrown away his fantasies and impulses and has become mature."

George Clint suddenly laughed: "The failure of the last project is not necessarily a bad thing. Sandhai Entertainment may usher in a new era."

The three laughed at the same time.

A few minutes later, Ronan walked into the company and saw the remaining three employees talking and laughing. He put down his briefcase and asked, "I'm so happy, what's the matter, please share?"

"Abu Dhabi's experience." Mary replied.

Ronan walked over: "A very beautiful city."

"Happy city." Robert replied: "I will never forget it in my life."

George Clint chimed in: "I regret staying in LA."

Ronan pulled a chair and sat with the three of them: "George, without your logistical support, we couldn't have succeeded."

When they were in Abu Dhabi, some of the media on the North American side was always focusing on the Human Removal Project, and George Clint played an important role.

Mary changed the subject at this time: "Ronan, you should buy a car. It's a waste of time to squeeze the bus every day."

Little Anderson had a luxury Lincoln before, and later sold it to the company's employees to pay wages. Ronan came here and either took Mary's car or squeezed the bus.

"I'll go buy one later." Ronan clapped his hands: "Okay, let's talk about work."

The three immediately became serious, and before they knew it, they felt convinced of Ronan.

Ronan said quickly: "This trip to Abu Dhabi, we solved the financing problem, at least three years, no need to worry about insufficient funds. Now, it is time to get the company back on track."

Before arranging the work, Ronan first fulfilled his promise: "The success of this financing is inseparable from your support. As I said before, if the financing is successful, you can get corresponding rewards."

Mary, George, and Robert all laughed, looking very happy.

Ronan is very clear that in this mature business society, even those who are loyal to the company will still have certain material needs.

Sometimes, saying a thousand words and ten thousand is not as effective as a monetary reward.

Moreover, at the beginning of the plan, he promised everyone a 1% reward.

Making an inspiring promise that must be fulfilled, Ronan said directly: "The four of us, each of us has a bonus of 110,000 US dollars!"

George looked excited: "Ryle has nothing to say now."

Ronan knows,

Lyle is George's wife, and has always had a lot of opinions on him staying in Shahai Entertainment. George has four children and his living burden is quite heavy.

When people reach middle age, many choices are often out of their own hands. How many people who are burdened by their families dare to travel?

Robert said: "Let's create a new situation together!"

Mary didn't speak, the woman's support for Ronan was beyond doubt.

Without the assistance of these four people, Ronan would not be able to realize the Abu Dhabi financing plan almost perfectly. Of course, the 11 million US dollars will not be invested in movies, and must be used for other purposes.

Doing so is also to completely tie the three people to this thief ship that has been deceived.

Gained benefits, naturally have to bear the corresponding risks.

"Next, let's get the company back on track." Ronan turned to the topic: "We should also formally prepare for the "Human Removal Plan" project."

Mary seemed more cautious: "We have accepted the investment from the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, and we also need an explanation."

Ronan nodded and said: "Robert, you are in charge of recruiting people who are in urgent need of jobs in the company. George, you are responsible for the recruitment of the director and the behind-the-scenes team for the official launch of the "Human Removal Project". Mary, you are responsible for coordinating funds and daily administration , and when the right person is recruited, you will be responsible for financial work."

All three responded.

Afterwards, Ronan discussed many details with them before returning to the office.

Mary followed Ronan into the office.

After closing the office door, Mary asked, "How much are you going to invest in the Human Removal Project?"

Ronan needed Mary's cooperation and said directly: "It will not exceed 2 million US dollars, it mainly depends on which level of directors and actors we can hire." He simply said: "I plan to spend 4 million US dollars for filming and loan repayment. "

"What about other funds?" Mary felt that she had overestimated Ronan's conscience.

"Stock market." Ronan said slowly, "I'm going to invest in the stock market."

Mary said in surprise: "Ronan, this... this is crazy!" She reminded: "This is a breach of contract, and it has touched the law."

Ronan shook his head gently: "Arabs will not know. The public production budget of "Human Purge Project" is 11 million US dollars. The actual expenditure of Hollywood movies is a secret to the outside world, and it is even more secret to the Arabs."

Mary was silent for a moment. There was no third-party guarantee, and there was no professional supervision. It was impossible for the Arabs far away in the Middle East to control Shahai Entertainment.

In fact, how many films in Hollywood actually cost as publicly announced? There are too many tricks in it, and there are too many to count. The game of left hand over right hand is dazzling.

"It doesn't matter if the Arabs find out." Ronan had long imagined the worst: "It's very troublesome to fight an international lawsuit, just drag it on with them. As long as it drags on for two years, all these will no longer be a problem."

"Stocks are too risky." Mary still advised.

Ronan thought for a while and said, "Is it risky to go to Abu Dhabi this time? We did it. I'm not making an impulse investment. Is investing this money in the film industry more risky than investing in the current stock market? Without sufficient funds, it is impossible for us to expand Shahai Entertainment."

Thinking of the thriving stock market situation, the high risks of the film industry, and the magical trip to Abu Dhabi, Mary finally nodded slowly: "Okay, I will cooperate with you."

She also suggested: "You'd better set aside some money for the company's daily expenses."

Ronan nodded: "I know." He smiled: "We are about to prepare the "Human Removal Plan", and all the company's expenses will be incorporated into the project."

"That's a way." Mary had no objection.

Small Hollywood companies that finance independent films often do this.

Even, some independent producers with no quality, as long as they have projects under their hands, the whole family's expenses can be linked to the crew.

Most of Hollywood's real supervision and perfect system are mainstream commercial films. The independent film circle is not only chaotic between men and women, but also chaotic in other aspects.

The phone on Ronan's desk rang, but it was Judith from the bank.

"Mr. Anderson, Shahai Entertainment's mortgage loan is due in one month. If it is overdue..."

Hearing the woman's voice, Ronan frowned slightly and said directly, "I will go to the bank tomorrow to deal with the loan repayment, that's all."

He directly cut off the phone and said to Mary, "Be prepared, we will go to the bank tomorrow, and then go to the branch of Merrill Lynch in Los Angeles."
