Chapter Two Hundred and Forty-Four Is Really Idle
? Under the influence of this Great Depression, Donald Trump's assets have shrunk rapidly. In just over two years, Donald Trump's assets have shrunk from a peak of 1.7 billion US dollars to the current 5. One hundred million U.S. dollars.
If it's just like this, it's nothing, after all, the market value of many real estate companies has shrunk significantly.
But before the Great Depression began, Donald Trump was at the peak of his career, and he was in high spirits. He spread his own real estate company's booth very large, so he owed hundreds of millions of dollars in loans to major banks and financial institutions. After the Great Depression began, his real estate company's capital chain was on the verge of collapse due to continuous losses, and it could go bankrupt at any time.
Although he used his personal connections to persuade several banks to hold off the high interest payments that were required on those loans on a regular basis, he was no longer able to borrow a penny from any institution. Without funds, his real estate company would no longer be able to operate normally, and would still only be in a state of half-dead.
After carefully reading the article several times, Donald Trump immediately moved his mind. You must know that even a large group company with a market value of tens of billions of dollars is unlikely to have $200 million in cash. Get the money, even if it's only half. He will be able to survive this bankruptcy crisis smoothly.
Donald Trump has a virtue that all shrewd businessmen have in common. That is to be good at seizing all the opportunities that can be seized. He didn't think about the probability of success in doing so. As long as he tried it, there were only two possibilities of success and failure. If he didn't try, there was only one possibility.
After Donald Trump made up his mind, he immediately found a detective company and collected a large amount of information about Eric in detail. In it, he discovered that Eric bought the Pixar studio of Jobs.
The Pixar studio has always been a problem for Jobs. It has been losing money since it was bought, and the studio was acquired by Eric for $20 million at the beginning of the year. In the data he collected, Pixar's loss this year will reach a higher than before 10 million US dollars, so the evaluation of Eric's acquisition behavior in the data he collected is very low, and even used 'stupid' words like that.
But this is exactly what Donald wants to see. He feels that this teenager is not too smart in business, or rather, in addition to being very talented in movies. Except for the movie, the whole person is not too smart. It would be great if that was the case.
Donald Trump originally planned to go to Seattle in person, but then learned that Eric led the crew to New York, which is his base camp.
Because it is impossible to contact the middleman for introduction in a short time, Eric is busy with the filming of the movie and does not participate in any social activities. Donald can only come to the door in person,
He also analyzed Eric's character before. He felt that since he became famous at a young age, Eric must have the pride and vanity that young people of this age should have. In order to cater to Eric's heart, Donald .Trump arrived two hours early on purpose, and broke the news to the crew.
At this time, looking at this young man who was only 19 years old and had a slight stubble on his chin, but still did not completely fade away, Donald Trump felt a sense of envy in his heart.
Investment institutions have estimated that the market value of Firefly after merging with Xinxian has exceeded 1 billion US dollars. According to the calculation of shares, this young man is worth twice as much as he is now, and the other party did all this in just a short time. A year's time.
But it wasn't the time for emotion in front of him. Donald Trump quickly sorted out a series of remarks he had prepared before in his mind. Just as he was about to speak, Eric spoke first.
"Mr. Donald, are you my fan?".
Donald Trump was stunned for a moment, subconsciously wanting to nod, but then he decided to tell the truth: "No, I'm not, but I like the "Dark War" you made very much, and when the videotape is released in the future, I will definitely Bought a box to keep for collection."
"Oh, thank you," Eric nodded politely and didn't speak any more. He watched the waiter bring the lunch for the two of them and poured red wine for them, but he was thinking silently in his heart, Donald T. Prang obviously wouldn't come to the door for no reason, but Eric couldn't understand why the other party came to him.
Don't you want to play tricks in your own movie?
Thinking of Donald Trump's character in his previous life who liked to join the entertainment industry, Eric subconsciously thought that this was quite possible, but "Sleepless in Seattle" definitely has no chance. Does the other party want to make a cameo in "Home Alone 2" ?
Just as Eric was about to throw away this 'absurd' idea, he suddenly raised his head and carefully looked at Donald Trump, who was facing him.
What-the-!
Eric muttered silently, thinking that it wouldn't be so coincidental, would it?
Because of that idea just now, when he subconsciously recalled the plot of "Home Alone" in his memory, he suddenly found that Donald Trump did make a cameo in this children's movie.
About 20 minutes into the movie, Kevin came to New York by accident and checked into the Plaza Hotel near Central Park. Donald Trump played a passerby who flashed by and showed the little guy the way. A character, with a line and a frontal shot.
Originally, Eric also knew that there was such a role as a guide, but he was busy with his feet in the sky some time ago. Except for the main actors of "Home Alone", he doesn't care about those small roles at all, and leaves them all to the casting director.
For small roles like Donald Trump's cameo, you don't even need to determine the actors in advance. Usually, during the filming, you find an extra actor at random, or pull out a strong man from the crew to make a cameo.
So Eric didn't think much about the identity of that person at all. If Donald Trump wasn't sitting in front of him at this time, Eric would never have thought of it.
After pondering for a few seconds, Eric still didn't think there was any point in making a cameo for such a small character with no name and only one line. He could only say that this New York real estate tycoon was really idle. (To be continued...)
