King of Hollywood

Chapter 391: Chapter 113: The Result is Conclusive

“Well, what should I say?” After Adrian finished speaking, there was a long silence before Claude’s voice came through, “You went to Japan and then said their animation was worth investing in, you went to New York and then said we should watch out for Soros… Oh, dear Ed, why don’t you travel to even more places, maybe you’ll encounter even more opportunities.”

Although it sounded as if he was complaining, the relaxed tone still gave away his thoughts.

“Come on, Crow, I don’t believe you haven’t caught wind of this.” Adrian laughed, leaning back in his chair and propping his legs on the desk, “This is a good opportunity, and unlike the last two times, we don’t have any scruples, if handled well, our profits won’t be much less than what we got in ’92.”

“It’s not easy, Ed, after all, we are not like them, and our situation now is different from ’92, some things are not so easy to do.” Claude’s tone became serious.

“Yes, I know, and I know what you want to say next, but remember my plan? All these require funding, I don’t mind compromising, but at least until we lay a solid foundation for our Empire, we can’t let go.” Adrian said with an equally serious tone, “I’ve said this many times, haven’t I?”

“Of course, but…” Claude suddenly fell silent again, and after a long while, he sighed, “Alright, but I still need more data and intelligence.”

“No problem, I’ll wait for your good news.” Adrian then hung up the phone and stretched lazily with a long exhale.

What he had just mentioned was naturally next year’s financial crisis in Southeast Asia, unlike the United Kingdom and Mexico. The United Kingdom is an ally of the same stock as the United States, and Mexico is the United States’ backyard, meddling in these places is bound to lead to government sanctions, even in a money-centric country like the United States. That’s why Soros has been under investigation and surveillance by the FBI since attacking the British Pounds, and if he hadn’t shaken these guys off at the time, he probably wouldn’t have been able to deal with the Mexican Peso.

But Southeast Asia was different, they were already a flock of sheep ready for shearing, and there would be no sympathy or pity for them, just like with Japan. Adrian couldn’t pass up such a grand wool-shearing opportunity, and more so, these would help him build his Empire more smoothly. Of course, he had to avoid the RMB and the Ruble, not to get carried away with a string of victories like Soros did, and almost lose himself in the process.

With a knock on the door, Charlize walked in again, placing a stack of documents in front of him, “I’ve made some adjustments to the b-a file and the b-b materials, you can take a look, and please raise any issues as soon as possible; also, about your concept and outline, the editorial department has written up to Act Three waiting for your comments…”

“Very good, I’ll give them my input as soon as possible,” Adrian said while browsing through the materials in front of him and, as before, wrapped his secretary assistant in his arms to indulge in some sibling-like affection.
