"My dear, you are so awesome. Whether you are making a movie or running a company, your stocks are now listed and are so awesome!"

"Hahaha, I am also very good in many ways..."

"Hmm... um... um..."

Helen Slater's cheeks flushed. The fund that Ronald had prepared for her had increased a lot since DDH was listed. But as a woman who didn't care too much about money, what she valued more was the one she loved.

Men are so capable!

"Do you want to go shopping or something?" An hour later, Ronald held the orange juice that Helen poured and drank it in one gulp. Now that his worth is different, he doesn't need to chat with Helen about art like before, but goes shopping directly to express his gratitude.

Love is the more convenient option.

"Dear, I'm not a high-maintenance girl. The money has long exceeded my needs." Helen herself also drank a large glass of lemonade. She now puts a lot of energy into maintaining her figure. She spends half an hour every day.

Aerobic training, half an hour of yoga every day.

In addition to taking care of her children, Helen still goes to her acting troupe "Naked Angels" to do some acting learning activities. In fact, she has realized her high school ideals, doing drama, meeting her lover, and having fun.

I play the piano, sing, draw, and talk about art with some of my best friends.

"My dear, of course you are not a high-maintenance girl. You are a representative and role model of independent women...I am very lucky to meet you..." Ronald quickly confirmed that although spending money on Helen is low-maintenance, she

Those artistic pursuits are no less costly than those of people suffering from shopping addiction.

"I now have a lot of royalties every year, plus the dividends from the trust you gave me, I can't run out of money... Dear, let me discuss with you, can I use the money for some charity?

"

Helen has never been very demanding in satisfying her own desires. However, her hobbies will not save money if she really wants to play them. Ronald couldn't help but feel a little nervous, you don't want to make a movie, do you?

"As you know, there are many Off-Broadway actors in New York who have no income and have to work in restaurants. I want them to have a place where they can hone their acting skills and collect some performance fees to supplement their income. So I want to find someone for Naked Angels

A place for rehearsals and performances, what do you think?"

Helen then showed Ronald a proposal. When Ronald opened it, it turned out that Helen had taken a fancy to a former picture frame factory on West 17th Street in Manhattan and wanted to use the factory as a performance venue.

"My dear, it's okay. Your idea is very good, and it doesn't cost much."

"I knew you would agree, hee hee hee... Also, if the audience welcomes the drama we rehearse and perform here, I plan to invest in making it into a small-cost film, and also for several universities in New York.

Students from the film department are open to apply. This will also cultivate future drama and film talents, do you think?"

"I think it's very impressive. Maybe someone will call you the godmother of New York theater and independent films in the future..."

"Hahahaha...you agreed? I have one more thing to ask of you..."

"What's up?"

"When you are free, can you give lectures or teach at film majors at Columbia and New York University?" Helen looked at Ronald with stars in her eyes. She liked this kind of thing. Her lover was respected and given

The fun she brings is much higher than having money.

"What can I say? Honey, I'm still theoretically on leave as an undergraduate at New York University..."

…

The stock price rise on the first day did not last long, and soon some hedge funds began to sell stocks and take profits.

But to the surprise of some analysts and the investment banking department of Goldman Sachs, a strong buying order directly took over these selling orders, giving the market great confidence. DDH's stock price rose instead of falling, and began to impact

35 US dollars, and by the end of the weekend, it had stabilized around 34 US dollars.

This price made all the subscribers overjoyed. They made a lot of profits on their books, so they all loved the IPO of DDH. Therefore, Ed Bastian, CEO of DDH, said that he would consider debt financing in advance.

…This statement continued to receive praise from Wall Street…

Ronald later learned that this was the Renaissance Fund where Donna worked. Through data analysis, he discovered that DDH's stock price matched certain special fingerprint samples on the day of listing and trading. Donna's boss, Dr. Simmons, began to make large sums of money.

I bought DDH stock, which is why it has performed so well.

After staying in New York for several days, Ronald did not return to Los Angeles until DDH's stock price stabilized. As the chairman of a listed company, he also had to improve his behavior in line with his social status.

Bodyguard Daniel first expanded the security level. Now Ronald will accompany him whenever he travels. When major events occur, such as the Oscars party, there will be an expanded security team.

In addition, his car fleet has also begun to expand, and he has ordered upgraded security models from Rolls-Royce and Mercedes-Benz, which can protect the shooting of ordinary firearms.

Ronald is also planning to buy a yacht when he has spare money, which is also a standard feature for rich people. Without these money-losing equipment, it always seems a bit incompetent to be a billionaire.

"I really don't like these. It reminds me of when I first came to Los Angeles and was almost tricked into becoming a yacht steward..."

Diane was a little unhappy when she saw the yachting magazines that Ronald was reading. She had no relatives or friends when she first came to Los Angeles. If Ronald hadn't helped her, her life would have been quite miserable.

I had to go to the Oscars with other male celebrities, and I didn't have any good clothes to wear, so I just wore a pair of ordinary sandals.

"Then I won't buy it. I have other things to do with the money."

"This is my brother Ronnie..." Diane came over and kissed Ronald. The two of them were still not used to this big toy of the super rich, and would rather live a relatively low-key life.

"Why are people at Paramount still evaluating your movies now? I thought they had long thought that the products you filmed were exempt from inspection." Diane helped Ronald put on his coat, and then also touched his own clothes.

As for the neckline, now she has several sets of matching outfits for any occasion. She is no longer the wild girl of the past.

"Redstone just bought Paramount, and he probably wants to meet me..." Ronald smiled in the mirror. This old man must put on a show in front of him to make himself feel good. What would he say?

His Redstone's company has a market value of tens of billions, but his own is only three billion?

"He wants to see you, why?"

"Maybe I rejected one of his requests... It doesn't matter, I'm no longer someone he can manipulate at will."

…

"Mr. Lei Shidong..."

After sitting in the Paramount screening room for a while, Shirley Lansing accompanied Redstone in. Ronald stood up and shook hands with him.

"Ronald, can I call you Ronald? After the last time we met, I told the people around me that you would become one of us one day. I didn't expect you to realize my dream so soon.

prophecy……"

"Ah?" Ronald was almost staggered by Red Stone's shock. He was still preparing to have a verbal spat with him. Why did he suddenly change his tone and become a successful senior who supports me, a junior?

"You must be Miss Diane Lane. I just took over Paramount and am still getting familiar with Hollywood female stars..."

"Hello, Mr. Redstone, Ronnie told me a lot of your stories." Diane glanced at Ronald, as if he was different from the arrogant old money playboy you mentioned.

"I hope they are all good words, hahaha... You know, when I look at Ronald, it's like seeing myself when I was young. When I acquired Viacom and created the MTV channel, it's like I'm still here, too.

So high-spirited..."

"Ahem..." Ronald coughed next to him. This old pervert's time holding Diane's hand has exceeded. Hey, besides, you were over sixty when you founded MTV. How are you the same as me? Besides, you inherited

I started your father's business from scratch...

"Let's watch a movie..." Redstone waved his hand. Regardless of Shirley Lansing's high position in Paramount Pictures, he directly treated her as an ordinary assistant and told her to turn off the lights.

Start showing.

Although Ronald also waved and called his assistant to do this, Shirley Lansing was still very embarrassed for a moment. Fortunately, Ronald did not make any fun of her and even exposed himself to her.

A smile that said, "We have a tacit understanding that we are a team, and you have to say something nice to me in front of your boss when the time comes." Her embarrassment was relieved a lot.

Finally, at the end of the movie, little A-Gump got on the school bus and talked to the same female driver who was A-Gump when he was in school. The white feathers flew up again along with the theme song...

Redstone coughed twice and told Shirley Lansing to turn on the lights to end the screening.

During the screening, Shirley Lansing finally figured out her position. This time she calmly regarded herself as Ronald and Redstone's assistant and went to personally end the screening of the credits.

, turn on the light.

When she came back, she was surprised to find that Redstone actually showed a cordial gesture and exchanged some things with Ronald about the "Forrest Gump" movie.

"I heard that the last movie Qian Long Hong Tian caused quite a stir by using the scene of old George. This time you used the scene of him playing table tennis. Will there be any trouble? If so.

If so, I can help you solve it..."

"I have talked with the old George Library and his eldest son, and they don't mind such kind teasing..." Ronald replied with a smile. Did Redstone hear something about his kindness?

He is as kind as a yacht salesman to a rich man.

"That's very good. If all my subordinates have the ability like you, please don't mind my metaphor. I'm really sorry that I didn't find you to work for me when you were young. If I had known earlier

If you have the ability, you might get everything you have today faster..."

"You are so kind. I have always been grateful to MTV for playing the MVs of my two musicals..."

"Ah, Shirley..." Redstone pretended to have just discovered Shirley Lansing, "I don't need to teach you how to do it, this movie needs your full support..."

"Of course, Mr. Redstone. It is our honor at Paramount to be able to cooperate with a director like Ronald. I have already made a marketing plan. This film will receive Paramount Pictures' support from distribution to marketing.

From the Academy Awards PR, the highest level of support in all aspects.”

"Look, people like us need the help of top talents in the industry..." Redstone praised Shirley Lansing in front of Ronald. But it was obvious.

Devaluing her to a level lower than herself and Ronald.

"Shirley has always been very concerned about and devoted to strong movies. This is the quality most needed for the head of a Hollywood studio. She may be the studio president in Hollywood who is best at identifying movies that can sell well. If it weren't for her

As a woman, she should have been a leader in the industry in 1982. At this point, I cannot say that I am doing better than her."

Ronald knew in his heart that the old man Redstone must have something to ask of him, so he just wanted to give Shirley Lansing some benefits.

"You are very right. This position requires the ability to identify the box office potential of movies. I am very happy that I have top Hollywood talents like Shirley to assist..." Upon seeing this, Redstone also affirmed Shirley Lansing.
