Rebirth of the Great Entertainment Empire

…

"Otherwise, you can ask Xu Cun to see if he is willing to invest in your Soviet Union?"

Upon hearing what Bill Francis Adams said, Peter Shevardnadze cursed in his heart: "If you don't want to help, just say it. Let a Hollywood director invest in our Soviet Union. What is the investment? Is it investing in our Soviet films?"

actually--

No wonder Peter Shevardnadze scolded Bill Francis Adams in his heart. It is really impossible to invest in movies in the Soviet Union!

Soviet movies paid great attention to human nature, which is related to the values ​​of the Orthodox Church. Therefore, the movies that Soviet people like to watch are evocative movies, such as "Quiet River Don" and "Moscow Doesn't Believe in Tears", rather than Hollywood commercial films ——The Soviets believed that Hollywood commercial films were too superficial and focused too much on entertainment.

In addition, the cultural publishing work in the Soviet Union was all controlled by the government, and its films were all produced around the main theme. This does not mean that it must not produce high-quality goods, but it itself serves the government, not the audience—— Audiences don't like to watch it anymore, as long as the leaders like it, they can still get a stable salary, so the entertainment of Soviet movies is very low.

All in all, investing in films in the Soviet Union made no money at all, and even Xu Cun, a man of two lifetimes, could not untangle this deadlock.

The most important thing is that the investment that Peter Shevardnadze wants to attract is the kind of large investment—to put it bluntly, it is less than 100 million. Peter Shevardnadze, the son of the Soviet foreign minister, is embarrassed Said that the investment was drawn by himself. According to Peter Shevardnadze, how could it be impossible for a director to invest so much money in the Soviet Union?

but--

Although he scolded Bill Francis Adams in his heart, even though he thought that Xu Cun could not come up with the investment he wanted, Peter Shevardnadze still smiled at Xu Cun and said: "Xu, how about it, go to our Soviet Union Invest in a movie, and I guarantee that the Soviet Union will open the door for you!"

Xu Cun shook his head and said, "Forget about movies. I'm a director of commercial films. There should be no market in the Soviet film industry."

Upon hearing Xu Cun's refusal, Peter Shevardnadze nodded secretly, thinking: "This director is a little bit self-aware."

Unlike Peter Shevardnadze, Bush Jr., who knew Xu Cun quite well, knew Xu Cun meant to invest in the Soviet Union when he heard Xu Cun say, "The movies are fine."

Bush Jr. looked at Xu Cun and asked, "Do you really want to be a fool to invest in the Soviet Union?"

Xu Cun met Bush Jr.'s eyes and said, "The reason why Columbus was able to discover the New World is because Columbus was a fool who dared to take risks."

As soon as Xu Cun said this, Bill Francis Adams and Peter Shevardnadze were all taken aback—they never thought that Xu Cun really meant to invest in the Soviet Union.

Bush Jr. looked at Xu Cun with flickering eyes - Bush Jr. did not believe that Xu Cun, who made his fortune from scratch and made tens of billions of dollars, was an idiot. On the contrary, Bush Jr. believed that Xu Cun was a rare smart person in the world. Therefore, Bush Jr. can almost conclude that Xu Cun intends to invest in the Soviet Union because he saw the business opportunities in investing in the Soviet Union.

Peter Shevardnadze, who came back to his senses, immediately laughed and said, "Welcome! Welcome! Xu, I promise you will definitely make money in our Soviet Union!"

At this moment, Peter Shevardnadze made up his mind to buy Xu Cun's horse bones with a thousand dollars, and then followed Xu Cun's example to recruit more powerful investors.

It is precisely because of this that Peter Shevardnadze said with a smile: "Xu, my friend, what are you going to invest in? Do you need me, a Soviet person, to give you some good advice? My friend, I think that in our Building a canning factory in the Soviet Union must be a profitable business, but you don’t know that the canned food in the Soviet Union is simply terrible!”

The conscience of heaven and earth, Peter Shevardnadze's advice to Xu Cun is really very good - for a small capital investor, building a canning factory in the current Soviet Union will definitely make a lot of money.

But as soon as Peter Shevardnadze said it, both Bush Jr. and Bill Francis Adams couldn't help laughing!

Xu Cun smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll go to the Soviet Union to invest in a canning factory."

How can Peter Shevardnadze be a stupid person to come to the United States with his father to help the Communist Party visit the United States?

Seeing Bush Jr. and Bill Francis Adams laughing, Peter Shevardnadze realized that he might have made some stupid mistake.

So, Peter Shevardnadze said with a look of grievance: "George, Bill, I think happiness should be shared with friends, not let friends stand aside and watch like a fool."

Bush Jr. stopped smiling, and said, "Peter, as a friend, I have to give you a sincere suggestion. Don't promise Xu Cun to invest in only one canning factory in the Soviet Union."

After hearing what Bush Jr. said, Peter Shevardnadze's eyes flashed—he knew what his mistake was. Xu Cunruo is just a film director, how could he be with Bush Jr. and Bill Francis Adams? The top talents of the top families become friends?

Thinking about this, Peter Shevardnadze immediately turned his head to Xu Cun, and then said with a resentful face: "Xu, you bad guy, you made your friend and I look bad, and deeply hurt you and me. Therefore, if you do not invest a large sum of money in the Soviet Union, I will not forgive you!"

Xu Cun said with a smile: "Well, Peter, my friend, if your Soviet Union's oil industry also attracts foreign investment, then I can consider investing 10 billion in the Soviet Union, or even more."

As soon as Xu Cun's words came out of his mouth, Peter Shevardnadze's pupils shrank suddenly, and Bush Jr. and Bill Francis Adams also showed shocking expressions-ten billion US dollars in 1987, yes It is not a small amount of money for any group, including the four major families in the United States. Of course, this is not to say that the four major families in the United States cannot afford so much money, but that they will not invest so much money easily, let alone invest so much money in the Soviet Union, a market full of too many uncertainties!

After calming down, Peter Shevardnadze asked Xu Cun cautiously: "Xu, my dear friend, are you talking about US dollars?"

It's no wonder that Peter Shevardnadze is so careful—if this happens, it will be an extremely strong political capital for Peter Shevardnadze. With this strong political capital, Peter · Shevardnadze will immediately become a political star in the political arena of the Soviet Union. Coupled with his father's powerful influence, Peter Shevardnadze's political future can definitely be described as 'unlimited'!
