Chapter 12 : Conditions

Looking at Mansour next to him, Ronan smiled and said, "Please tell me."

The money has not yet arrived.

As long as the request was not excessive, he can follow it.

Mansour slowly said, "There must be no content that praises Jews and slanders Arabs in the film."

Ronan immediately answered, "Please rest assured, the Arabs will save the Americans."

Mansour nodded and continued, "The film must have the name of the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority in a prominent position."

"No problem."

Ronan thought for a while, and said, "It will be placed as same as the logo of Sand Sea Entertainment, placed separately at the top of the film."

Mansour has seen Hollywood movies and understood the meaning of the words and said, "Good"

Then he added, "You have to fight for the movie to be shown in theaters, not just to be released in videotapes."

"Of course!" Ronan said seriously,

"This is my goal and my father's wish.

If I want to expand Sand Sea Entertainment, large-scale cinema movies are a must"

Mansour was quite satisfied, and said,

"The last point, the release and screening of this film in the Arab world should be left to me."

Ronan answered without hesitation, "No problem."

"Since there is no objection."

Once Mansour made a decision, he would act vigorously, "We will sign this afternoon."

For Ronan, the sooner he signs the contract the better,

But he controlled his inner ecstasy and desire, and said very calmly, "I need lawyer Ibrahim to be present.

I am not very proficient in law."

Of course, Mansour would not object to this kind of formal procedure, and said, "It should be."

He said to the thin attendant, "Go and get everything ready."

Afterward, he chatted with Ronan.

The topic focused on the Western world's views on Arabs.

Although Ronan is not proficient in social politics, he has some knowledge beyond this era.

In addition, he continued to maintain the position that he hates Jews.

Chatting with Mansour was beneficial.

At noon, Mansour also gave Ronan a special banquet.

Nowadays, even many European investors don't know much about Hollywood's third-party guarantee system and the establishment of a separate company for a film with independent financial accounting, let alone the Arabs.

Mansour didn't mention it, and Ronan certainly wouldn't be so stupid to take the initiative to speak.

Even if the other party knows something, Ronan still has a way to deal with it.

Let alone now, even after ten years many independent films will not use third-party guarantees.

Therefore, Hollywood's independent film circle is generally more chaotic than the mainstream business circle.

The signing ceremony in the afternoon went smoothly.

With the lawyer's endorsement, Ronan, on behalf of Sand Sea Entertainment,

And Mansour on behalf of the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, signed the three-year investment contract for the "Human Removal Plan".

Abu Dhabi Investment Authority is responsible for investment, and Sand Sea Entertainment will be responsible for project preparation and operation.

After three years, it should return the principal and the box office income will be calculated accordingly.

When Ronan returned to the venue, it was already close to 5 pm.

There were no other people in the venue except Mary and Robert, and the other ordinary staff provided by Abu Dhabi.

"How is it?" Robert took Ronan to a quiet corner of the venue and asked,

Mary also looked at Ronan caringly and asked, "Is it done?"

Ronan breathed hard, clenched his fists, and said, "I have officially signed an investment agreement with the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority this afternoon."

Robert couldn't wait to ask, "How much did they invest?"

The excitement on Ronan's face flashed away, while trying to keep calm, he said, "8 million dollars."

"How..... How much?" Mary picked her ears subconsciously, suspecting that she had heard her wrong.

Robert's eyes couldn't help but widen in shock, and asked again, "8 million dollars?"

Ronan pointed to the Arab staff in the venue, raised his fingers, and made a silent gesture,

Robert nodded quickly, and said "I understand! I understand!"

thud--

But his excited hands trembled constantly, unable to grasp the file in his hand, and made it fall on the floor.

Mary's breathing became heavier and more rapid, and she whispered, "God! Oh my God! Ronan, how did you do it? This is 8 million dollars!"

"Okay, two people." Ronan was also very excited, but he was able to control it,

"Calm down, the money will not arrive until tomorrow morning. We must keep calm."

Robert turned around and faced the corner, lowering his voice as much as possible, and whispered, "Ronan, you...are you possessed by gods?"

Ronan shrugged: "This is Arabia, our God is not easy to use."

Robert couldn't help it anymore and laughed.

In order not to laugh out loud and attract the attention of the Arabs, he could only bite the corner of his clothes, rub his teeth against the cloth, and made a strange sound.

Mary couldn't stand it anymore, and said, "I'll go out to catch my breath"

She walked out of the side door of the venue, came to a terrace, grabbed the balcony handrails hard, and made sure that all of this was true.

In the beginning, she felt that Ronan's self-rescue was not reliable,

But Sand Sea Entertainment was about to go bankrupt, so she had to find a way to save the company herself.

After all, she didn't want to see old Anderson's achievements finally come to nothing.

Unexpectedly, Ronan experienced a disastrous blow and quickly matured and did not act rashly.

Whether conducting social market surveys, contacting the media, or understanding the status of the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority,

He did enough homework before implementing the plan.

Full preparation, plus a little bit of luck, made their fundraising plan go smoothly.

After a press conference in Los Angeles, seeing the Arabs, she thought they might raise millions of dollars.

But when she came to Abu Dhabi, she thought three or four million dollars was also possible.

But what were the results?

Ronan got an investment of 8 million US dollars alone!

"John, did you see it?"

Unconsciously, two teardrops rolled from Mary's face,

"Little Ronan has finally grown up and matured, he will be an amazing businessman in the future"

Mary was the first person to accompany old Anderson to start a business.

She also watched Ronan grow up all the way, and she was very gratified at this moment.

After packing up some key information and handing it over to the Arabs for help,

Ronan took Mary and Robert back to the hotel room.

After a period of buffering, the two people calmed down a lot.

They didn't eat dinner outside because they wanted to talk about other things, so they went to Ronan's room directly.

Abu Dhabi Investment Bureau was not short of money,

They were enthusiastic enough to prepare Ronan a luxury suite at the presidential suite level and were also responsible for all expenses.

Ronan drank half a glass of water and asked, "How much is the total intentional investment in the venue?"

Mary just finished the calculation, she glanced at the data, and said, "$4.5 million."

"Not bad" Ronan nodded slightly.

With the investment of 8 million US dollars in front, this figure can no longer bring much excitement to him

Robert also gradually calmed down and said: "These are just investment intentions, and the amount that can be signed in the end will be much less."

Ronan squeezed his chin and thought for a while, "In this way, after the investment bureau's funds are in place tomorrow,

We will discuss this with these potential investors.

The investment bureau is investing 8 million dollars.

It is estimated that the media will also report."

Robert understood his intention and said, "Even if the media doesn't report it, we can also disclose some of it appropriately.

Such information cannot be hidden from the interested people."

"Hmm good" Ronan agreed.

"How shall we use this fund?" Mary asked concerned, "Is it all used for filming?"

Ronan vaguely replied, "I'll talk about it after we return to Los Angeles"

Robert also said, "We should get the money first, and the rest will be easy to talk about"

He changed his voice and suddenly asked, "Ronan, shall we go to India again?"

He was very enthusiastic now,

How much is the one percent commission? 

This money came so easily, it was much easier than working hard all year.

Ronan was also a little excited, but he controlled his greed.

Greed is good, but it needs to be moderate.

"We won't go to India for the time being."

He shook his head and said, "With so much money invested, the Arabs might stare at us for a while.

Let's go back to Los Angeles to operate the "Human Clearance Project" properly.

Mary also reminded, "Yeah, don't forget how much preparation we have made, and Don't underestimate other people that much"

Robert was not a young man either, He sighed and said, "You are right."

Ronan looked at Robert and Mary.

Both of them had pretty good self-control.

That night, Ronan suffered from insomnia, which was a sequela caused by 8 million dollars.

Lying on the huge mattress, there were countless Franklin printed notes floating in front of him,

He also felt that he was surrounded by beauties with long legs and hot bodies.

The next day, the $8 million investment was received smoothly,

The Abu Dhabi media also reported the relevant news.

Ronan along with Mary and Robert also negotiated with the intended investors quite smoothly.

Before they left Abu Dhabi, the planned investment of $4.5 million, Actually reached 3 million dollars.

The first step of the plan succeeded smoothly.

Ronan specially participated in the press conference of the Investment Bureau where he talked about friendship with Arabs and was hailed by the media as an American friend of Abu Dhabi.

Then, he returned to Los Angeles with an investment of 11 million dollars.

When the plane landed at Los Angeles International Airport,

Ronan was finally relieved as he saw a bright future waiting for him.
