Chapter 1131

Just in the past week, the first wave of attacks by international financial speculators on the Thai currency ended with the Thai government winning slightly. However, Chen Qing, who has seen a lot of economic data of Asian countries from her boss in private, knows that Thailand's economy is on the verge of collapse.

For example, foreign exchange.

After the first World War, Thailand's officially announced foreign exchange reserves are still 33 billion US dollars, which seems to be sufficient, but in fact, through a large number of forward Thai baht orders, more than 90% of Thailand's foreign exchange reserves have been locked in advance. According to the hedging contract, the Thai government needs to use these foreign exchange reserves to buy back the Thai baht of financial speculators in three to six months.

Do overseas speculators have so many baht?

No.

In addition to a small amount of Thai baht as a margin, overseas speculators borrowed a large amount of Thai baht funds from inside and outside Thailand, which were converted into US dollars, which is also one of the main ways to make profits in foreign exchange operations.

First of all, we should be sure to be short of the Thai baht. International speculators will convert the borrowed funds into US dollars. At this time, with the devaluation of the Thai currency, it may only take us $5 to buy back the Thai baht for debt repayment in the future, and the remaining US $5 is the profit of international speculators.

So it's a bet.

Because a large amount of foreign exchange reserves have been locked in advance, it will only bring greater risks if they are used up rashly. Therefore, the Thai government wants to fight against the attack of international financial speculators again. After the remaining small amount of available foreign exchange is exhausted, it can only borrow.

Borrowing money is repaying.

Not yet. It's worse.

Therefore, without breaking the rules, there is only one way to go, that is, to give up the protection of the Thai baht exchange rate and allow the baht to depreciate. In this way, international financial speculators can take on the currency orders at the lowest cost. When the Thai baht currency in the hands of overseas speculators runs out, the crisis will be over.

Of course, it can also break the rules.

Just as this crisis spread to Russia in 1998, the Russian government said that it could not afford to play and would not play any more. It directly declared that its sovereign debt was in default, and at the same time allowed its currency to depreciate indefinitely. The incident spread and almost led to another world-class financial turmoil triggered by the us long term capital management company.

That's what I'm going to say.

Now, the Thai government is obviously not as single as Russia, and it is very likely to raise its hand and surrender.

As for the westero system, the main focus is on South Korea.

What Simon is looking at is a batch of information collected by headhunting companies about senior executives of Korean enterprises or Korean elites in the United States. Considering the sensitive and radical national characteristics of South Korea and the special operation mechanism of South Korean enterprises, it is obviously inappropriate to directly send western executives into South Korea. It is better to make South Korea from South Korea.

However, unlike other overseas layouts of the westero system, these people selected by Simon should be absolutely controlled in the hands of the westero system instead of devolving too much power, preferring to be puppets.

Inside the boat on Taihu Lake.

After flipping through the information in his hand, Simon ignored Chen Qing, who just came in. Instead, he asked the woman on the other side, "I will return to North America the day after tomorrow. Do you want to go back together?"

Before Ms. Liu answered, MiuMiu said: "yes, Dad, it's boring here."

Simon grinned and pinched the girl's face: "who was going back to China with me?"

Little girl smell speech, more not happy: "but, originally agreed you will accompany us, but these days, you have been busy, did not accompany me and my mother."

"Well, it's my fault. Let's go back together."

On the other hand, when a woman saw that the man and her daughter had made such a decision, she didn't object. In fact, she thought the same way.

A few days ago, Guofeng Art Troupe finished its performance in Britain. Instead of starting the next stop immediately, it chose to rest for a while. Just as Simon was coming to China, he informed them that if they wanted to come together, they could go back home and have a look. Some of them came together.

After I came back, I found that there was really nothing to look at.

The mother and daughter went back to their hometown in honor. They were envied by their relatives and friends, but only for this.

After a few words of chatting, Simon sent the mother and daughter away. Then he looked at Chen Qing with bright eyes and asked with a smile, "do you bet with her in Southeast Asia?"

Chen Qing didn't expect that her boss would suddenly ask this question, but she made no secret and said, "the boss has revealed so much. If I don't bet some, it would seem that I'm too stupid."

Simon nodded.

Chen Qing said another thing: "boss, the hero thing, no accident, can be done recently."

About hero, it's mainly about what kind of film is released in China.

Just like crouching tiger, hidden dragon, although Jinshu media has helped, it is not included in Jinshu's list. The main reason is that this film is mainly invested by danielis entertainment, and will still be released according to the standard of imported film in China.

Simon didn't expect too much from the Chinese box office of Crouching Tiger, hidden dragon, so it doesn't matter.

Zhang Guoshi's hero is different after all.Although it is still more inclined to be tailored for overseas, considering the box office of hero in China, if it is still issued as an imported film, the 13% share ratio will be a bit of a loss.

So he took the initiative to contact the authorities, hoping to fight for the same treatment as domestic films for hero through joint venture with mainland film companies.

For this reason, we have also designed a scheme that is quite biased towards the mainland.

Just like this time's hero, which was shot entirely in mainland China for the purpose of promoting Chinese culture, at the same time, foreign investors negotiated with domestic investors. Through certain investment, domestic investors fully obtained domestic copyright, so they enjoyed the split account treatment of domestic films in the process of distribution in mainland China. Foreign investors only enjoyed overseas income, not domestic split account, and domestic investors also only enjoyed China's share Domestic revenue.

Danielis Entertainment's mainland partners are China Film and brocade.

According to the total investment of US $30 million, China Film and Jinshu only need to jointly undertake 20% of the investment to obtain the omni channel copyright in the mainland.

20%, equivalent to US $6 million, equivalent to about RMB 50 million.

With the theme of hero, the mainland's box office is expected to exceed 100 million yuan, even 200 million yuan is not impossible. In addition, the surrounding channels can earn more or less, and 20% of them get the copyright, which is very cost-effective.

On the whole, this is a completely China oriented plan.

As for the brocade book, it's actually a chess piece of the westero system in China, which has nothing to do with the overall situation.

What's more, the premise of this special plan, whether it can pass the audit or not, and the initiative is completely in the hands of the China Film administration, which has only advantages but no disadvantages.

Coupled with Simon's relationship, the special approval of a document really won't have too many obstacles.

Listen to Chen Qing say so, probably someone has passed the news over, basically is finalized.

Simon nodded gently again and remembered another thing. He said, "don't meddle in the matter of the Ukrainian aircraft carrier. Just let it go."

Chen Qing blinked her eyes, then looked at her boss, roughly clear, promised: "I know."

It's just a little pity.

It's a pity that our boss means that we should not touch this human relationship with the westero system.

From the standpoint of our boss, we really shouldn't get involved in this matter. However, in fact, a few days ago, the rifni Free Trade Zone in Ukraine was established, and the representative team from China also attended the signing ceremony. Chen Qing knows that another task of that team is to discuss the aircraft carrier.

In the final analysis, our boss has quietly given us a lot of convenience.

However, since it's not, it's not.

So thinking, Chen Qing changed a relaxed topic and said: "boss, there is still a Foreign Actress in love call forwarding. Don't you specify it?"

At the beginning, Simon gave a song and an idea, but he didn't intervene much in the subsequent script of love call forwarding. Therefore, even if he found the original screenwriter, the new story is quite different from what it used to be.

Simon has also seen the completed script recently.

A brand new story is more in line with the times. The hero meets business women, overseas women, conservative women, star chasers, gold worshippers, justice women and other types, obviously with some meaning of exploring the current Chinese social phenomenon. Among them, there is also a role of "foreign women", which is to explore the cultural differences between China and the West.

Simon heard Chen Qing mention, think about the next, for a time there is really no suitable person, smile around Chen Qing said: "who do you think is suitable?"

"Of course, the bigger the brand, the better," Chen Qing also said with a smile, "I know that the top female stars in Hollywood are paid a lot, but they are just a small role. The boss said that they should be happy to play a guest role. Well, we can't afford to pay for a free guest role."

Because filming is about to start next month, it has been basically determined that the project budget of "love call transfer" is 20 million RMB, which is only 2.4 million US dollars. Such a price is less than half of the value of Hollywood first-line female stars, so we can only let our boss owe us.

Of course, when a big star comes to China, the board and lodging here must be all inclusive.

Simon thought about it again and said simply, "let me ask Linda who would like to come here. It's a holiday in China."

In fact, although such a guest show does not make money, it is definitely good for a Hollywood actress in the long run. Just like in the past, the reason why Boji Xiaosi is so well known in China is because of the sentence "spicy shredded chicken" in the Spring Festival Gala. This time, if a female star is willing to show her face in a pure Chinese film, she may also gain high popularity here.

As long as you have the heart, these popularity can be turned into real benefits in the future.

Moreover, it is probably the last chance to accumulate this popularity.

With the advent of the Internet era and the explosion of information, it is more difficult to get the attention of the whole people.After staying in China for a weekend, Simon finally set off on Monday, May 12 to return to North America after more than a month's overseas journey.

Although Simon spent most of his last week on the cruise ship in Taihu Lake, there was no delay in many things during his trip to China. After all, at his present position, there are very few things that need to be done by Simon himself, but there are too many people who are willing to do it for him.

In addition to the trivialities of Jinshu media, before and after this trip to China, vestro system's investment in China's real estate, food, science and technology, heavy industry, etc. is more or less a step closer.

On the second day after Simon returned to China, a special co production film document for hero was announced, which cleared the way for hero and the planned trilogy of Shushan.

On the American side.

Simon left for more than a month and returned again. The summer vacation in North America is approaching.

Before that, the four Easter movies, alien 2, cable repairman, hurricane rescue and ghost of terror, have come to an end, and are expected to be released on May 23 next week. In order to move the canvas, they will basically be released.

As of the last box office week before the summer season on May 15, the box office revenue of "alien 2" is 82.73 million US dollars. It is expected that it will be completely out of the season, and the box office will be about 83 million US dollars.

Cable repairman's box office as of May 15 was $56.31 million, hardly more than $57 million.

Then there's Hurricane rescue, which costs 80.62 million US dollars. It's estimated that the total domestic box office will be about 81 million US dollars.

"Ghost of terror" was $62.93 million, with a total box office of more than $63 million.

To sum up, hurricane rescue is the only film that can recover its full cost only by relying on its domestic box office. The other films have to rely on overseas revenue to make profits. However, compared with the box office results of the films produced by other Hollywood studios a few months before the summer season, this achievement has also been quite outstanding.

In addition, relying on the public relations of danielis entertainment and the participation of Chinese movie stars such as Jet Li, it is certain that hurricane rescue will be released in the mainland in the second half of the year.

There is also the February Valentine's Day "BJ's single diary", which was officially painted on May 15. The total box office in North America is 145 million US dollars. The overseas distribution of the film is still going on, which is expected to exceed 200 million US dollars, and the global conservative estimate is about 350 million US dollars.

The production budget of US $30 million, together with the publicity of US $15 million, and the global revenue of US $350 million, have also made BJ single diary one of the films with the highest return rate in recent years.

Two other small films, Christopher Nolan's "follow" and Guy Ritchie's "two big smokes", which were released at the same time as BJ's single diary, have also been painted.

On the local side, the cumulative box office of "follow" is $34.61 million, while that of "two big smokers" is $43.76 million. Compared with the total cost of the two films, which is only 5 million dollars, it is also a hard sell.

In addition to these main features, during the 19 weeks before the summer season in 1997, danilisi entertainment also launched other films such as "young Huang Feihong's Iron Monkey". In addition, the films entered the 1997 box office at the end of 1996. In conclusion, the total North American box office in the 19 weeks between the summer season was US $1.54 billion. Danilisi entertainment alone accounted for us $670 million, with a total of US $1.54 billion The real estate market share is as high as 43%.

That's because last Christmas danielis only had a movie called "the catcher of the soul", but the cooperative projects such as "game of the brave" and "baby thunderbolt" were not included. In addition, there was a replay of the Star Wars Series in the first half of the year. It can be imagined that with the release of a series of films in the summer and the end of the year, the films produced by danielis in 1997 are very likely to share more than 50% of the box office share of the North American film market, and truly make up half of the country.
