Chapter 188
“…My current financial situation is really “disaster”. Fortunately, I don’t need to despair. What makes me feel relieved is that my career in 2009 was quite smooth, so I will pay off all my debts in the end.”
After dinner, Arthur took Ji Li and the familiar Cage to the bar again, continued to chat while drinking cocktails, waiting for the arrival of lawyers on both sides.
While Ji Li was in the bathroom, Cage did not shy her head and said to Arthur with a smile. Arthur could clearly feel that the other party was interested in making friends.
For Cage, Arthur was naturally willing to make friends with the other party, and Cage seemed to have some special charm, and his badness and excitement were just as fascinating.
It seemed that he had drunk some wine, but it seemed that Arthur had helped him with the purchase of real estate. Although Arthur felt a little indifferent, Cage still talked about his "collection" as joked to Arthur.
To be honest, in Arthur's impression, bankruptcy is logically difficult to happen to Hollywood superstars. They collect tens of millions of dollars a year. Either they invest in opening a company, or they buy a villa by the beach, and how to spend all their money to lead to bankruptcy. To be honest, this is really a science.
However, through listening and from the other party's words, Arthur realized that the more glorious Cage was, the more "expendable" he was. In fact, it was not uncommon for Hollywood celebrities to spend a lot of money, but it is rare for Cage to "full blossom" like uncontrollably.
His history of prodigality includes buying three houses in 2007, spending more than $33 million, and 22 private cars, including nine Rolls-Royces, 12 precious jewelry and 47 artworks. In 2008, he purchased 15 more luxury homes, four yachts, an island in the Bahamas and a Gulfstream jet. In addition, his collection also includes dozens of limited edition mobile phones and $1.6 million comics…
During the craziest period of home purchase, when buying luxury houses that cost 100 million US dollars or even more, they often don’t even talk about the price and take pictures without blinking. Some luxury houses are directly bought in order to have inspiration when writing books. They own a total of 30 motorcycles and 50 cars, including 9 Rolls-Royces and a limited-edition Ferrari.
Arthur had to sigh that it was indeed poverty that restricted people's imagination! The lives of rich people are indeed unimaginable and boring...
Of course, the famous financial storm in the United States almost turned everything into a bubble. It can be said that this super noble man is basically disappointed now. But Cage is still quite open-minded.
“There was a big loophole in my property, so I had to work hard to make money. Actors are my profession, and although I wanted to find a movie that suits me, I also had to consider paying back the money.
I have many reasons to continue working, but the most important thing is that if I don’t work, I might be ruined.
I love the power that performances and movies bring to me so that I can continue to experience my acting skills, and there is no better feeling than this.”
Cage leaned sideways on the sofa, crossed his legs, drank all the cocktails in one sip, let out a sigh and said with a smile.
"Life is ups and downs. Sometimes, due to some unknown factors, we will involuntarily deviate from our pre-order and do things that we regret... Just like what I did a few years ago, let's look at the present."
Arthur smiled and spread his hands, showing Cage himself, as if he was saying how much change, and continued: "So, what we have to do is do everything steadily, always remember the purpose of our departure, and don't squander the sweat we have shed, so that we can gradually succeed. I believe you will be able to get out of the predicament soon."
"I hope..." Cage picked up another cocktail, looked at Arthur with bright eyes, hesitated for a while, and finally asked: "I have read some information about you. To be honest, your experience has made me feel a lot of curiosity. It's like a miracle. How did you do it? I mean investing, that's really incredible, a 21-year-old billionaire?"
Arthur smiled, and when he heard Cage's question, he also answered the questions in his heart. It turned out that it was because of investment. No wonder he was willing to make friends with him. However, Arthur did not cherish himself, but smiled and said: "My experience is no longer a secret. The media reported it many times, and everyone knew that although some things were different, it was true that gold speculation was not wrong."
"Is gold?" Cage's eyes shining, she lowered her legs with her raised cross-legged eyes, and looked at Arthur with a burning look and asked, "Is gold really profitable?"
"Haha..." Arthur shook his head and laughed. In Cage's expectant gaze, he raised his cocktail and touched the other party, took a sip and said with a smile: "When my investment and financial consultant told me, I also suspected it, but I still followed the advice of professionals, and the result is what you see."
"Shet, I really should have fired my financial manager early, and the series of financial crises that have caused now are all "given" by my former financial manager. He is not only very incompetent, but also suspected of secretly losing out on my property. I have sued him in court." Katie cursed with annoyance, and then looked at Arthur and asked: "Gold has fallen recently. Will you continue to invest?"
"Sorry, Nicholas, I can't help it, and I can't say any positive answer. It's irresponsible behavior, but as friends, we are already friends, right..." Arthur said, looking at Cage and asked.
"Of course, of course we are already friends. This is just a chat between friends, you don't need to worry about it." Cage smiled hurriedly, but there was a little embarrassment in his smile.
Arthur didn't care and continued with a smile: "As a friend, I can only tell you that I have invested a considerable amount of gold and am very optimistic about its prospects. However, this is a financial investment after all, and the risks are still very high, so this is something to be taken with caution."
It is already known that he invested in gold and became a billionaire Zhou. Arthur was not opposed to Cage. Of course, no one can guarantee that he would make a profit without losing money in such a thing. After all, he, who knows the future trend, was almost buried in the pit by the decline in gold two days ago.
"Thank you, Arthur, thank you for being so sincere. This time I came to London, especially to get to know you, this is my biggest gain." Cage was moved, and a happy sign smile appeared on his face.
"Haha." Arthur squeezed his eyes at Cage and smiled, "We are friends."
"Yes, we should have a drink for this." Cage smiled and raised his glass to touch Arthur.
"bite"
Then the two raised their glasses and drank together, and looked at each other and smiled.
"Ha ha……"
At this time, Ji Li, who had a graceful figure and a hot curve, walked slowly from a distance while walking on the cat steps. Cage smiled and raised his eyebrows at Arthur and joked: "You are so lucky. Ji Li is an impressive girl."
As for the expression on Cage's face that men understand, Arthur just shook his head and laughed and denied: "We are just good friends."
"Haha..." Cage couldn't help laughing.
"Haha, why are you so happy to talk about?" Ji Li had already walked over, with a smile on her sweet pretty face, she sat gracefully beside Arthur, and asked curiously.
Arthur smiled and looked at Ji Li and said, "I'm telling Nicholas that you are going to travel to Hollywood next."
"Oh?" Ji Li's beautiful eyes lit up slightly, and she looked at Cage who slowly stopped her smile.
Cage joked: "I asked him how he would be willing to let you go to Hollywood. You know, it's a cannibalistic world!"
"Where is the Vanity Fair that doesn't eat people?" Ji Li was slightly stunned, but soon shook her head and laughed and asked back, "The big screen has always been my dream."
Cage looked at Ji Li, raised her lips and smiled slightly, without showing any unnecessary expressions. Instead, she raised her glass and signaled, saying, "I wish you can realize your dream."
"Thank you." Ji Li said with a smile and raised her glass.
"You are a big shot in Hollywood. If you can, you might as well recommend it. We, Ji Li, have the title of the ninth miracle in Europe, and she is the number one dreamer of British men."
Since Arthur got a lot of happiness from Ji Li, of course, although he had given billions of vitality, he still had to help with things that were easy to do.
"Haha, I'm not a big shot." Cage shook his head and laughed, "But since Arthur, you said that, as a friend, I can only say that there will be a chance to cooperate in the future."
"Haha, I only have you in Hollywood. Ji Li is also my best friend. When she arrives in Hollywood, you will naturally have to take care of your territory. I don't mean to be embarrassed by you." Arthur said with some advice.
"Yes." Cage raised his eyebrows and smiled, and the three of them raised their glasses together.
Ji Li looked at Arthur with gratitude, her sweet pretty face turned slightly red, as if she had thought of something, her beautiful eyes were shining brightly. Tonight's surprise really made her very satisfied. Thinking that she had promised Arthur something, she couldn't sit still...
Arthur naturally didn't know where Ji Li's thoughts were floating beside him. He continued to chat with Cage. With laughter and joy, he finally waited for the two lawyers and real estate consultants.
"Brush"
Just on the table in the bar, Arthur and Cage smiled at each other, each holding a signing pen and signing their own names on the contract.
"Thorny"
Arthur tore off a check book and handed it to Cage, laughing and said, "It's yours!"
"Thank you." Cage breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, showed a bright smile on his face, hugged Arthur, patted Arthur's arm and said, "When will I go to the United States? I'll take you to have a good taste of the American style!"
