Chapter 410

"OH! MY! GOD!"

Karen Wilson was originally ready to tidy up, send Susan to school, and then go to work.

But at the moment of preparing to close the stock software, she saw a straight line like a rocket launching.

"OMGOMGOMG" she looked at the straight line in a daze.

People who have bought stocks know that when you have lost everything to add to the position of a stock an hour ago, making you feel like you bought it at the top of the mountain, and you are heartbroken, suddenly it flies into the sky... what kind of feeling that will be.

Like Karen Wilson, except for OMG, she couldn't say anything, her heartbeat exceeded 120, that is absolutely normal.

4%, 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%

Until the stock price rushed to 14%, it encountered strong resistance at the 14.8 dollar position, a large wave of sell orders emerged, and the stock price began to turn downward.

At this time, Susan heard the movement and ran over from the kitchen, grabbing a piece of toast she had just taken a bite of, staring at the computer screen in front of Karen, and suddenly screamed.

"Wow! Mommy! What's going on!?"

She jumped to Karen's side, excitedly pulling Karen's arm "Is the weekend box office out? Hurry, hurry, hurry, take a look!"

"Wait, wait, wait a minute!"

The stock price returned to 14 yuan in Karen's thumping heartbeat, ushered in a rebound again, after several bumps, finally the stock price stabilized at 12%, around 14.5.

It was only 0.46 away from Susan's original purchase price of 14.96.

She clicked on the stock account, looked at the "+23" above, and said excitedly: "Susan, look, my god, we have broken even, do you think we should sell it?"

And Susan has already logged on to Twitter with her Huawei U8800 at this time.

She follows quite a few movie information accounts on it.

As soon as she logged in and refreshed, she saw several entertainment news media on her follow homepage all posted the same content.

TMZ: "Breaking news: Chen Nuo just announced the first weekend box office of 'Inception' on the 'Today Show', 87.7 million, the word-of-mouth effect of this 3D sci-fi suspense film directed by Christopher Nolan and starring Chinese star Chen Nuo, Keira Knightley, and Ellen Page is beyond expectations."

Hollywood Reporter: "A dramatic scene just happened! Chen Nuo announced the first weekend box office of Inception in an interview on the 'Today Show'! Although 87.7 million is 100 million less than the 180 million US dollars record set by The Dark Knight, considering the different attributes between the two, there is reason to believe that in the future, the word-of-mouth of 9.7 points on IMDb-250 and 97% freshness on Rotten Tomatoes will bring excellent box office performance to 'Inception'."

Variety: "87.7 million! 'Inception' first weekend box office results are out! After the flat opening day box office, it unexpectedly ushered in a reversal in the two days of the weekend, Chen Nuo announced this news on the 'Today Show' scene, and then, Warner stock on Nasdaq responded quickly, soaring more than 7% instantly! It seems that market investors are optimistic about the follow-up performance of this Sino-US joint super 3D sci-fi blockbuster!"

"I know why the stock rose, Mommy, 'Inception' sold 87.7 million in the past few days!" Susan said quickly.

"And then? So what if it's 87.7 million? Should we sell it now?"

Karen asked afterward, and then refreshed the account again.

I saw that in just a short while, the original "-113" number changed again, and now it is "+23". That is to say, the original loss of several thousand US dollars has now been wiped out, and she even made a small profit of 23 US dollars.

Karen couldn't help but smile and said: "We have broken even now, what do you think, Susan. Do you think we should sell?"

Susan said while looking at her phone: "No, don't sell, Mom!"

"Why?" Karen Wilson turned her head and looked at her daughter seriously.

Now she has a feeling of looking at Susan with new eyes.

Not only can she skillfully and fluently recite so much data, but her action and courage are even a bit amazing to her.

Perhaps, this child really inherited her father's talent in finance and numbers, and inherited her own practical ability?

Perhaps, those C+B- before were just because the talent had not been developed. Like Einstein, people thought he was mentally retarded before the sixth grade.

Perhaps, it is she who has always looked at her wrong. She is not a star chaser, she is a little genius.

Karen looked at Susan full of expectation.

Susan handed her phone to Karen with a smile, "Because... Mom, look."

Karen took the phone, looked at it, was silent for a while, and then said faintly: "'gongxifachai'? What does it mean? Is this Chinese?"

"Hahahaha, yes, Chinese. But you look at the comments, someone translated it inside."

"............ Congratulations on making a lot of money?"

"That's right, Mom! Chen said it, he said we will make a lot of money! So, don't sell!"

Karen Wilson held the phone tightly and looked at Susan deeply, "So this is your opinion?"

"Yes." Susan nodded with a smile: "Mom, Chen he definitely won't..."

"Okay, okay, shut up." Karen covered her forehead, only feeling a headache.

All the beautiful wishes from a moment ago instantly turned into bubbles.

She said unhappily: "I don't want to hear your 'twihards' language anymore. Now go tidy up, I'll send you to school!"

"Okay, but... then are you going to sell or not?"

"None of your business, go now!"

What kind of decision will Karen Wilson make?

No one knows for the time being.

But Mason Collins has reorganized his team.

Just a moment ago, he had closed all short positions.

In fact, the rebound Karen Wilson saw at around 14 yuan was because of the effect brought by his 1 million short shares closing, for which he lost nearly 3 million US dollars.

It really is about the same price as having lunch with Buffett.

How can Mason Collins swallow this bitter fruit. So, while closing the short position, he opened a long position.

By the time Warner stock closed at 11.8%, 14.62 dollars in the morning, there was already a floating profit of more than 200,000 US dollars, which finally made up for a little loss.

"Let's just do this for now, use a quarter of the funds to do T, don't move the rest of the base position, we will hold the position for a period of time."

Jerry nodded: "Understood. What is our take-profit level set at?"

"16 yuan."

"16 yuan? That is to say, 10%?"

"Yes."

"But... Avatar made News Corp rise by 25% back then, didn't it?"

Mason Collins lit a cigar, exhaled a puff of smoke, and said: "Don't mention Avatar. Although its special effects are very similar, its type determines that it cannot become Avatar."

"Americans don't like to watch this kind of brain-burning movie!"

"Now it's just that its early publicity and 3D effects gave it a first weekend box office that looks pretty good, exceeding expectations. However, want to rely on those nerds who like to watch brain-burning movies, and those little girls who are twihards to become the second Avatar?"

"That's dreaming!"

"In the next two to three weeks, maybe it can maintain a strong performance. However, don't forget that "Captain America" is about to be released in two weeks. Disney plus Marvel is the company that knows how to do publicity best in traditional media. They will definitely buy all the headlines and layouts in one breath. By then, it won't even have a dissemination channel. Now how it treats Transformers, Captain America will treat it that way by then."

"Unless it takes out another 100 million US dollars for publicity. But is it possible? That way they will definitely die very miserably."

"So,"

He paused, "So this time we change the way, don't short, but don't fight either. Guard until 16 yuan, and retreat immediately!"

Jerry shrugged: "Sounds very reasonable. But I still want to remind you, is there any other possibility?"

Mason shook his head: "No..."

After speaking, he hesitated again.

Indeed not.

The only possibility is also almost impossible.

He was right just now, Americans don't like to watch things that are too brain-burning. So relying solely on the North American market, the growth space of Inception is destined to be limited.

Unless..................

It achieved unimaginable results in the overseas market.

By then, through the free dissemination of social media, avoiding the edge of Captain America, setting off a second wave in the North American continent and achieving a counterattack, then, maybe there is still a little possibility.

Among the overseas markets, the potential of the European market is limited. Among Asia, Africa, and Latin America, want to cause such a sensational effect, thereby forming a phenomenal wave, and counterattacking North America through social media.

Only rely on the Asian market.

Although... but.

Think about the poor results of Hollywood blockbusters in that xenophobic and closed country of Japan, even "Avatar" sank in the sand there, is it possible?

Think about the narrow and crowded market in South Korea and the preference for local films, is it possible?

Think about China's more than 1 billion population but only that sesame-sized consumption power?

Hahahahahaha... damn it, is it possible!!!

Can the results of the Asian market shock the world?

If he believes it, he is the biggest fool in the world.

Mason Collins' tentacles are indeed all over American society, but he also has a unique perspective of Americans. That is—he doesn't care much about major and minor events outside the North American continent.

So, he smiled faintly and said: "Perhaps, there is one possibility, that is, Asians have all gone crazy."

After participating in the "Today Show," Chen Nuo resolutely returned to his home in Beverly Hills.

Yes, it was indeed agreed to record the program that afternoon.

But... is it not allowed for people to get sick?

Really sick, lying is not human.

After working continuously for eight or nine days, working 4, 5 hours a day, either sitting in the car or sitting on a stool being interviewed and photographed. Can only rest through the private jet's leather massage chair and luxury memory foam bed, can only let Guli Nazha press his shoulders, rub his scalp, and hammer his back for him.

Under such hard work and fatigue, his lazy disease was thoroughly committed.

Especially thinking of what Nolan said at the meeting before, he still has to go to Japan, Korea, China, Singapore, Malaysia next!

Damn him.

So busy and so tired, be careful of sudden death!

Rest, must rest!

So, he directly asked Allison to notify Warner executives and inform them of his illness.

After lunch, he went to the swimming pool behind the house, swam a lap, put on sunglasses and lay on the lounge chair by the pool.

The orange California sun shone on his body warmly, and Chen Nuo prepared to read a book.

It happened that Qi Yuntian went to an antique shop in LA to find a few ancient books, preparing to send them to his father when he returned to China, and put them on the coffee table in the living room here.

But holding the book, without reading two lines, I don't know what happened, as if his brain was punched by someone, his eyes went black, and he didn't know anything.

Dazed and didn't know how long, heard someone asking him in his ear: "What did you read~ what did you read~"

Chen Nuo answered subconsciously: "Reading 'Records of the Grand Historian', seeing the Ming Dynasty."

Guli Nazha heard this sentence and immediately admired it.

When she came over, she saw the man covering his face with "Records of the Grand Historian", as if he was tired from reading.

At that time, she felt that the boss didn't forget to read such difficult ancient historical books while resting, it was really too diligent, so she took out her mobile phone and took a photo secretly.

Hearing the word Ming Dynasty, she admired it even more. Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, Qing, this is already the fourth dynasty on "Records of the Grand Historian". Really, can only say that success is not accidental.

Guli Nazha leaned down slightly and continued to whisper: "Charlize Theron's call, boss, wake up, Charlize Theron called to find you."

Chen Nuo heard it clearly this time, oh, not "what did you read", it's "Charlize Theron".

He opened his eyes and looked.

Little white rabbit is white and white, two eyes are round and round.

He blinked. Then his eyes moved upward, from the neckline of Guli Nazha, to her face, and asked as if nothing happened: "Who?"

This is the benefit of wearing sunglasses.

Otherwise, why do you recommend wearing sunglasses when going to the beach, the pool, and any place where your eyeballs might turn around?

It's to let you see the little white rabbit and big white rabbit without anyone knowing!

And he is not intentional, someone sent it over with chest stickers as soon as he opened his eyes, what can he do?

Guli Nazha didn't notice anything, handed the iphong in her hand over, and said: "Charlize Theron, just called to find you. Called three times, maybe there is something urgent. So...""Oh good."

Chen Nuo took the phone and looked, oh, it's not just Theron.

Besides the three missed calls from Theron, there was another blonde beauty with a closer relationship who also called him.

Theron will ignore it for now, he dialed the other one first.

Didn't ring twice, the other side picked up.

"Hey, Ivanka, what's up?"

"Chen, long time no see! I just arrived in L. A., are you free to meet tonight?"

"Of course. Um, do you want to visit my new home? My new home is very beautiful, very big, very luxurious, very good, very good, very suitable for chatting, maybe the most suitable place for chatting in the world."

"Hahahahahaha, you are not allowed to learn from my dad."

"Haha, copyright?"

"Yes! Okay, I have something to do now, can you send me the address by text message? I will come over after I finish my work later."

"OK."

Hanging up the phone, sent the address to little Ivanka, and then dialed Theron.

"Hi, Charlize, what's wrong?"

"Hello, Chen. Are you at home now? Do you have time to meet?"

"Um, I'm still busy. What's the matter?"

"Uh..." The other side of the phone twisted for a while, and then said, "I want to ask about the stock. Can I still buy Warner stock?"

Knew it was this. Chen Nuo said: "I really don't know this."

"Chen, help me, okay?"

"Sigh, Charlize, I'm not Warren Buffett, you ask me this, you really found the wrong person."

"No, I... I have been paying attention to your movie these days, I went to see it yesterday, it's really great, amazing! I have also been paying attention to your news. So, you really bought 10 million Warner stock, right?"

"Yes, it seems to have lost a little now."

"Then... how much do you think Warner stock can rise to in the end?"

"This is really hard to say."

"Please, you know, I told you before, I lost a lot of money in stocks, I just want to find an opportunity to earn some back. So, please, okay?"

Chen Nuo hesitated for a while, although in his view, persuading people to speculate in stocks is like persuading people to jump into a river, but Charlize Theron said so, he also couldn't open his face, so he said according to his real thoughts: "I think... you can refer to the trend of Avatar back then."

"...... Avatar?" An unbelievable voice came from the other side.

"Yes. Haha, of course, this is just a personal wish."

"Uh... okay, I know, thank you."

"It's okay."

"Call me when you are free, okay? I want to thank you well."

"Haha, then let's have a meal together after my promotion period ends?"

"Okay, be sure to tell me by then, no matter where it is."

"OK, have a nice day, bye."

"You too. bye."

Charlize Theron hung up the phone, immediately took out the stock software on her mobile phone, and looked at the K-line chart above, now Warner stock has risen to 13%.

But if it really follows the influence of Avatar, it can be said that this is just a beginning. There is at least 20% room for rise above. If it sells well, 30% is not impossible.

But... can it really be Avatar?

Avatar seamlessly integrates technology, emotion, and universal values, and almost all audiences can find a sense of substitution on Pandora.

But what about "Inception"?

Even if the special effects technology of both is the same, the latter has set too many thresholds in structure, even if the audience concentrates their attention and follows the whole process, they may not understand it. Just like her, she still doesn't understand the plot after watching it once. This simply makes it destined to be unable to become a nationwide phenomenal movie.

Thinking of this, Charlize Theron still didn't dare to buy full position, just took out 5% from the stock funds she had saved recently and bought 100,000 US dollars.

When Chen Nuo was talking to Charlize Theron, Guli Nazha was also listening on the side. After Chen Nuo hung up the phone, she also asked curiously: "Boss, can you really make money by speculating in stocks? Then can I..."

"No!" Chen Nuo interrupted unceremoniously, "Work hard, don't engage in these crooked ways. Speculating in stocks ruins three generations, if you really want to buy, don't buy any Warner, this has no future, buy some Apple or something, it's okay to save it as a fixed deposit."

Seeing Chen Nuo's face look bad, Guli Nazha didn't dare to ask more, but she remembered buying Apple as a fixed deposit in her heart.

That night, little Ivanka arrived as promised, just her alone.

Haven't seen each other for almost half a year after the Oscars, the woman's charm remains.

The lines brought by year-round fitness are displayed just right on her, a pair of long legs are definitely longer than many men's lives, a white slim dress, the skirt falls just above the knees, and a pair of nude high-heeled sandals on her feet, making the whole person look taller and more elegant.

Blonde hair is pulled into a loose bun, in the night wind of Los Angeles, revealing a slender neck and exquisite collarbones, the slightly applied makeup is clean and neat, and a string of delicate pearl necklaces is worn around the neck.

She got out of the Ferrari, didn't rush to greet Chen Nuo, but went to the trunk to take out a bottle of exquisitely packaged red wine, and then smiled and raised it: "I guess you won't prepare this in advance."

"You are wrong." Chen Nuo smiled and said, "I prepared two bottles."

Two bottles of 1990 Romanee-Conti plus a bottle of 2005 Petrus brought by little Ivanka.

Chen Nuo's drinking capacity is limited, only drank a few cups, but little Ivanka's eyes became brighter and brighter as she drank.

The two sat by the pool, their legs soaked in the water, the light reflected on their faces, the night wind blew, bringing the coolness of the summer night in Los Angeles.

The surface of the pool rippled, reflecting the moonlight and the city lights in the distance, creating a blurred and intimate atmosphere.

"My dad is crazy." Little Ivanka took a big sip of the wine glass again and said faintly.

Chen Nuo just took a small sip and asked: "What's wrong?"

"Since he was publicly humiliated by someone at the news dinner, he has really started to prepare. This year he was originally an independent, but now he is preparing to join the Republican Party for the third time."

At this moment, Chen Nuo seemed to hear the sound of the wheels of history rolling by in his ears.

He said softly: "Damn."

"Eric and little Don all support him, but Melania and I both oppose it. I think, if there is a chance, you can persuade him with us. How about it?"

"Me? Is it useful for me to persuade?" Chen Nuo was taken aback.

"Yes. Although he has never said it, I know that he can listen to what you say. So, when you have time, make a phone call to persuade him. Okay?"

Chen Nuo thought about it and agreed: "Okay. I'll make one when I have time."

"Thank you."

"It's okay. Do you still drink?"

"No, thank you for your good wine. I'm a little dizzy now, maybe I can't drive. Do you have a guest room here?"

"Yes. I'll help you over."

"Okay, thank you."

"You are welcome."

Guli Nazha feels that it is not good for the house to be too big, especially since there are not many people in such a big house, she is really not used to it.

Especially after the lights are off, it is dark everywhere, feeling some strange sounds echoing in the house with the wind, making people terrified.

She opened her eyes and looked at the ceiling.

Struggling incomparably in her heart.

Finally, she finally couldn't resist the invasion of the inner demon, carefully put on her shoes, and got out of bed.

Her whole heart was thumping, feeling that all the blood in her body was rushing to her brain.

"I heard a movement, so I got up to see if there was a thief, yes, that's it, don't misunderstand."

"Really? Don't lie to yourself, you are just a pervert."

"No! I'm not, don't talk nonsense!"

"You are, you clearly think it's exciting to listen outside the door! During this time, every time you did that, didn't you imagine stealing and listening to Mr. Chen doing that kind of thing with others at the door."

"No, no, I didn't, you talk nonsense!"

"Nazha, Nazha, don't I know you?"

"... Last time, really last time. I'm just curious."

"Curious about what? Curious about how Mr. Chen could sleep with that foreign woman? What does it have to do with you! You are just a small assistant, have you forgotten what Mr. Li told you? Treat yourself as a deaf person, as a mute person, and forget everything that shouldn't be known."

"I know, I just... oh, okay, I'm here, I'll talk to you later."

Guli Nazha came to the door lightly, and in this position, the sound in the door became clearer.

Undoubtedly, no matter how she argued with herself, this was definitely a cross-border behavior, which could be completely named a perverted voyeur.

But..................

Guli Nazha's face changed, struggled for a long time, and finally stuck her ear to it.

Wow!!!

At this moment, Guli Nazha was completely like opening a new world.

The whole face became redder and redder.

In the end, not only was her face red and her ears red, she felt that she would bleed in the next moment, and the more she listened, the softer her legs became, she couldn't stand at all, and she slid to the ground along the door frame.

However, her ears were still stuck to the door, as if attracted by some magnet, and she didn't want to leave for a second.

There is actually such a thing?

Completely different from what she heard last time, here, Mr. Chen is so majestic and domineering, not polite at all, as if he is taming some wild beast. The sound she heard lying on the bed was transmitted from this, which was exactly the wailing.

Like a cuckoo crying blood, but there was a faint smell of uneasiness in it, which made her unable to sleep at all when she heard it.

Guli Nazha was like encountering a nightmare, sitting in place, legs spread, face against the door, except for her fingers, she didn't move at all.

Finally, when a scream sounded.

Guli Nazha then came back to her senses. The next second, she couldn't stand up at all, and crawled away, running fast to her room with her hands and feet.

When she closed the door at the other end of the corridor.

The next second.

Click.

Chen Nuo came out wearing a pair of pajama pants, with his upper body bare.

At little Ivanka's request, he prepared to go downstairs to take the unfinished red wine up to continue.

It's not that Chen Nuo is bragging, this is only him who has been transformed by the god medicine.

He really doesn't believe that, besides him, who else can do what she wants in front of this woman, the breeze brushes the hills. She is horizontal, the bright moon shines on the river.

"Ouch!"

Maybe people really can't be too proud. Just when Chen Nuo was proud, coming out with an imposing manner that no one else could, as a result, only the first step, his feet slipped, and he almost fell to the ground.

What's going on?

Damn, is it haunting? Why is there water?
