The laughter of the children came from time to time in the cinema. Monroe held Jiang Hao's arm and looked happy, "Jon, have we succeeded, right?"

"I think so."

The next day, the film reviews about "The Raccoon Battle" appeared in the newspapers, and many critics gave positive comments.

Film critic A, "This is a typical drama, the story is very interesting, relaxed and warm. I think the best thing is the performance of three little raccoons, the best animal actor I have ever seen so far."

Film critic B, "A simple story, an interesting experience, definitely worth watching with parents and children. You will enjoy 2 wonderful hours. This is a story of a little raccoon fighting villain. I think except for the little raccoon, everyone else is a supporting role."

Film critic C, "First of all, I want to say that I like this movie very much. This is the work of a new director, and all the actors in it are newcomers. The director of this film is also the screenwriter and producer of the film, music producer, and male protagonist. Although the male protagonist only has three minutes of scenes, I have to say that he is a versatile guy, Jon Hall, let us remember this name. He also wrote two books, one called "The Dream of the Bridge of the Bridge" and "Smelling the Fragrance to Know Women". I have read these two books of his. These two novels have been listed as my favorite novels. I have to say that these two books have more connotations than the story of the three little raccoons, which is also the main reason why I pay attention to the director."

The heroine Monroe has no presence.

The praise is because the quality of the video is good, and some are given money. Warner's public relations efforts are very good in this regard.

From more than 200 cinemas at the beginning, it gradually increased to more than 800, covering most cities in the United States.

While North America was successful, Warner began to operate markets outside North America, Japan, Austria, France, Belgium, West Germany, Finland, Denmark, Sweden... to seek global box office profits.

On that day, Jiang Hao suddenly received a call from Howard, the owner of "Time Books", "Hi, Jon, I am Howard. First of all, congratulations on your success in the movie. I read the newspaper and said that the box office in North America has exceeded 1,100,000, and it has only been half a month."

"Thank you for your congratulations, Howard, is there anything?" Jiang Hao said.

"Of course, it's good news. Because of your promotion in the movie, many people come to the bookstore to buy your two books. In just half a month, more than 30,000 copies have been sold, and sales have not slowed down. Jon, maybe we need to consider printing." Boss Howard said.

"This is indeed good news. I will authorize Robert to negotiate with you about printing. How much do you plan to print this time?" Jiang Hao said.

"Each book is 100,000 copies. The quality of these two books is definitely a popular work and is worth printing 100,000 copies."

"OK, then there will be 100,000 copies."

Just as Jiang Hao was about to finish the call, Howard suddenly asked: "Jon, do you intend to sell the copyright of the movie for these two books?"

Jiang Hao immediately realized something and asked, "Did anyone like them?"

"Haha," Howard smiled, "This cannot be hidden from you. Yes, some people have taken a fancy to these two books, which is very suitable for making movies, and some people ask me about copyright."

It's right to be aware of it. The movies made in these two books have been Oscar-produced in later generations, but Jiang Hao doesn't plan to sell them, this is what he prepared for himself.

"Howard, I am the director myself." Jiang Hao said.

"Ah haha, I've already thought of it. I'm just telling you, is it my responsibility, right?"

“Yes, I’m very honored that someone takes my work.”

"Jon, once again, congratulations to you on your success in the movie, and you will soon become a multimillionaire."

He put down the phone, picked up the cigar placed in the ashtray and took a sip. Jiang Hao murmured: "Millionaire, haha, I'm in debt now."

When filming movies, post-promotion, and raising a film company with hundreds of people, Jiang Hao's funds have indeed bottomed out.

Now that "Raccoon Battle" has been successful, it has a box office of more than 10 million in half a month. There is no one-month release standard yet. 2 or 3 months is also possible. As long as someone watches it, the theater thinks it can make a profit. Therefore, the evaluation team expects that a box office of more than 20 million is not a problem. According to the share ratio, his company can get about 34% of the share, and he can get a profit of 6.8 million.

6.8 million minus the initial investment, his net profit is about 4 million, which is definitely a big profit business.

But it is not easy to get this money. Even if you follow the normal agreement and get the share from Warner, you will have to wait for April and May next year. As for the global box office, it is very normal to wait for a year or two.

What about next, did he do nothing?

He also wanted to shoot the second and third movies, and he was now addicted to the feeling of creating one in person.

Maybe he can take out a loan, which is Robert's proposal. He can use the current box office share to discuss with the bank. I think the bank should be very happy to accept this business.

But banks are also vampires.

It has been three months since the matter has come to an end. It is time to go and see another business of yours. I don’t know how the noodles are developing.

The point is that he wants to get the money.

............

"Lingling!"

The ringing of the manor's phone suddenly rang, and Jaden picked it up and answered: "Who are you looking for?"

“Look for noodles.”

Jaden vaguely remembered the voice. He had received a call from this voice before. His tone and title had never changed. Every time the boss received this call, he would go out alone, and he would not even take it with him.

"Okay, I'm called the boss."

Soon after, Noodles answered the phone and waved Jaden out, "Boss, I'm Noodles."

“How is the recent development?”

"It's not bad, maybe, very good."

"Then let's meet and talk, the old place." Jiang Hao said.

"OK."

Noodles drove alone to the Hudson River embankment, saw the familiar figure who was already standing by the river, got out of the car and walked over.

"Do you want one?" Jiang Hao handed over a cigar.

"Thanks."

Take the noodles and order them for yourself.

"Tell me about the current development situation, it's more than two months, I don't know what's going on." Jiang Hao asked.

"We have now established a firm foothold in Manhattan and Brooklyn. I now have more than 600 people under my command, some of which are responsible for the spicy strip factory, and most of them are in the borneol business."

"The spicy strip factory has been established, and it is indeed not difficult to produce that one. I found several technicians and quickly developed the best formula and production process. The factory is now on track. The spicy strip channel we produce has gradually spread out. The sales in the first month were only more than 800,000 yuan and the profit was 200,000 yuan. The sales last month surged to more than 1.6 million yuan and the profit exceeded 600,000 yuan. I believe that as the channels increase, the sales situation will get better and better. As you said, this is a profitable business."

"The borneol business is good, better than I expected... I went to Las Vegas and met Steve. He was very satisfied with the borneol business. He did the previous business and in the past two months, we have obtained more than 4 million yuan in this business."

"Is the spicy strip factory legally registered?" Jiang Hao asked.

"Yes, that's a legal business, and I applied for patent protection," the noodles replied.

Jiang Hao thought for a while, "Take me to see the spicy strip factory."

The car stopped outside a factory in Brooklyn. The two walked into the factory. When several younger brothers saw the boss coming, they immediately came over. Noodles looked at Jiang Hao and said to their subordinates: "This is my boss, Mr. Stark."

Several little brothers looked at each other. When did the boss have a boss? But this was not a reason for their rudeness. The guys saluted immediately, "Hello, Mr. Stark."

After walking around the factory, Jiang Hao found that the factory was very clean. Although all kinds of machinery were not fully automatic like later generations, the degree of automation was already very high. I have to sigh that this was just the United States in the 1960s.

Back at the office, the two sat down, poured a glass of wine for Jiang Hao, and said, "Now our spicy strips are very popular with customers and are basically in short supply. In order to facilitate transportation and expand the market, I plan to build several spicy strips factories in other cities. I don't know what you have to say."

"Where are you going to drive?"

"Chicago, Miami, Los Angeles." said the noodles.

Jiang Hao looked at him, smiled and said, "You make this arrangement not just to sell spicy strips."

The noodles nodded, "There is also an important place for borneol over there."

"Aren't you afraid of being unable to stand?" Jiang Hao asked.

"Boss, a few days ago, I met Mike Corleon, the chairman of the Italian Mafia Committee and the head of the Corleon family." Noodle said.

Jiang Hao's heart moved. Mike Corleon, the second-generation godfather, is also a man who has been struggling for his family and underworld cause for life.

“What have you talked about?”

"We talked about the future of New York. He doesn't want more turmoil in New York. After all, doing business is the first priority and a stable environment is needed. If the gangsters are too fierce, the government will inevitably vigorously rectify it, which is not good for anyone." Noodles said.

"He was right." Jiang Hao nodded.

"Yes, I accepted his proposal, and then we reached a cooperation agreement to make money peacefully. We divided the drug market in New York together. The mafia still has many forces in other places, such as Chicago, Miami, and Los Angeles. They hope we can supply the goods." Noodles said.

Jiang Hao frowned, "Aren't they not doing drug business?"

"Boss, the Corleon family is unwilling to do drug business, but in this negotiation, Mike Corleon represents the entire Italian mafia, and many other mafia families, with drugs as their main business." Noodles said.

The godfather played the Italian mafia so well. The real Italian mafia, selling drugs, selling arms, trafficking in humans, gambling, pornography, money laundering, extortion, kidnapping, fraud, these are all their ways to make money.

Of course, they also have legitimate industries, but those legitimate industries can be carried out safely because of their mafia forces.

"Yes, but don't mix the two businesses together." Jiang Hao said.

"I see."

"I need money now, how much can you prepare?" Jiang Hao asked bluntly. The time for the real test has come.

The noodles thought for a while and said, "I can raise $3 million. It takes part of the funds to open a new market, and I can only give you cash for this money."

Jiang Hao understood that he was going to use drugs, so it was cash. When the noodles asked for money, they did not show disgust and distress. It was obvious that he really regarded him as his boss and partner, and did not think about swallowing up his part of his profits.

"There is no problem with the cash. It's ready within three days. I'll come and get it." Jiang Hao said after he was about to leave. At this time, the noodles suddenly said: "Boss, thank you for helping Deborah. I'm very happy to see her happy."

Jiang Hao patted the noodles on the shoulder, "This is a small matter. Okay, I'll leave, I'll call you if you have something to do in the future."

Jiang Hao contacted him on the phone, mainly because he contacted noodles, but he couldn't find him.
