Entertainment: Start with Succubus and play Hollywood

the next day.

After enjoying a breakfast at home, Martin went out.

On the way, he received a call from Benjamin

"Martin, the sales of"The Hunger Games" are very good, even better than"Twilight". 400,000 copies were sold in the first week and it has reached the tenth place on the bestseller list."

"By the way, there is also your book"Zhu Shen" (Zhu Xian). Although it is difficult for readers here in the United States to appreciate this kind of fairy tale novel full of Eastern culture, the sales of this book are also very good. Many Chinese and East Asians are buying it. They like"God Killing" very much. There are many fans of your book who are also buying, but these people probably do it more for collection.……"

Yes,"Zhu Xian" was also released in the United States, translated as"Zhu Shen", and took advantage of the popularity to sell out.

Random House, which is responsible for publishing, was pleasantly surprised.

After hanging up the phone, Martin asked Gordon, who was driving, to turn on the radio, which contained a speech from a Pentagon spokesman.

"Our army has achieved an absolute advantage in the war against Iraq. At present, our 30 air strikes have completely defeated the Iraqi ground forces. Our coalition forces with England are advancing towards Baghdad and are expected to achieve victory over Iraq within a week. final victory of war"

"We reiterate once again that the war against Iraq by the coalition forces of the United States and England is just, and we will resolutely attack the hotbed of terrorism. Our purpose is to protect the people of the United States and the world from terrorist attacks."

Martin's lips raised a smile.

At this moment, a call came in.

As soon as the call was connected, there was an extremely excited shout.

"Falling, falling, oil prices plummeted in the international market! No one thought that the war would end so soon! Damn it, BOSS, you are simply the god of finance!"

Just before the outbreak of the Iraq War, Martin had slowly injected about 600 million in funds into the international crude oil market. On

March 17, after the gap between the US and British coalition forces began, oil prices began to skyrocket.

Martin bought 33 million barrels Crude oil brought him a profit of nearly 700 million.

After selling the oil at a price of about 40 US dollars, Martin went short.

And one day later, today, step by step, to be precise, it should be 12 hours Later, with the Pentagon's speech, oil prices plummeted rapidly, and short sellers made huge profits.

Although in just half a month, Martin made nearly one billion U.S. dollars, this was not the end.

Martin calmly issued instructions into the microphone. :"22 US dollars, this is our warning line. As long as the oil price falls near this price, we will buy it immediately and close the short order in our hands. Do you understand?""

"Got it, boss"

"Do your work, I'm on my way here now. Don’t worry, I am God today!"

If the traders on the opposite side occasionally had doubts about Martin's operations before, they are now full of confidence.

The next day, Martin showed up at Leonardo's party in high spirits.

A capital of 600 million , sold when the oil futures more than doubled, and gained more than 100%, and the account became nearly 1.3 billion.

Then he sold short at this price, with 8% leverage, which is six times the leverage, and the account increased by nearly 6.5 billion. , plus a margin of 7.8 billion.

In the end, Martin bought and closed the position when the oil price fell to 22 US dollars, spending nearly 3 billion US dollars...

Therefore, when everything was over, Martin's account had a huge amount of 4 billion US dollars. In half a month, four billion dollars were made!

And similarly, some people made money while others lost money.

In the first half month of the war, more than 130 billion U.S. dollars of funds were flowing in the oil futures market. Most people They are all losing money - just yesterday, I don't know how many financial companies collapsed and how many financial gamblers jumped off the building.

But what does this have to do with Martin?

The only thing he is worried about now is how to spend the money.

If there is another oil field An auction would be fine, a gold mine would be fine, or an iron mine?

"Your expression is a bit strange!"A voice sounded.

Martin turned his head to look, his eyes flashed, and he smiled.

The speaker was Leonardo's best friend-Kate Winslet. The two of them knew each other, and there was a little girl standing next to Kate. The beautiful woman is looking at herself with curious eyes

"Kate, I was just thinking about how to spend my money!"Martin laughed.

"That's a heavy task!"Kate thought he was joking and didn't pay much attention. After making a joke, she introduced the little girl next to Martin to him.

"Martin, this is your book lover, Rachel Harwood, she is twelve years old, a lovely little girl."

""I'm also a movie fan," Rachel Harwood said,"Martin, I really like your movie"Made in Heaven". It was this movie that gave me the idea of ​​becoming an actor."

"Really? Thanks for your like. Well, you are also an actor. Do you have any works? Martin asked politely.

Rachel Harewood said:"I am filming Universal's"Peter Pan" and I play Wendy.""(To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Martin remembered that the little girl in front of him was the heroine of Universal's super popular live-action animated film"Peter Pan".

He remembered this movie The total investment in the movie reached 130 million, but the box office was only 100 million, a big loss! What else could he say?——

"Really? I wish you success!"

"Martin, can you sign your name for me?"Rachel suddenly took out a small notebook and a pen from her small bag and looked at Martin expectantly.

Of course Martin would not refuse and said with a smile:"It's my pleasure!"

Martin squatted down, put the small notebook on his knees, and signed the little girl's signature with a pen.

The little girl suddenly put her mouth to his ear and asked softly:"Martin, you, are you really with Nicole Kidd? Have Man become a couple? Martin was stunned for a moment, and then 030 said:"Yes, we are indeed a couple." The little girl suddenly showed an unhappy look on her face and muttered:"Really, Nicole Kidman is not worthy of you.""

Martin didn't say anything. It's hard for a girl of this age to persuade with reason. He just handed back the signed book.

Rachel was immediately attracted by Martin's beautiful handwriting.

"Wow, this is the most beautiful handwriting I have ever seen, much better than what my English teacher wrote!"

The girl carefully blew on the notebook, then closed it and stuffed it into her bag.

Then she said happily:"I have completed another mission to come to the United States. It's great."[]

Kate left with Rachel.

Leonardo came up and said,"Man, what did Kate say to you just now?"

Martin said:"Is your curiosity too strong? Have you fallen in love with Kate?"

"No, no, no, answer my question first"

"He didn't say anything, he just brought the little girl named Rachel to get to know me. What's wrong?"

"Hey hey hey, you know, yesterday when I had dinner with Kate, I made a bet on whether she could get you into bed, hey hey."

"real?"Martin's eyes widened.

"real! Leonardo nodded to confirm.

Martin laughed,"Then you will definitely lose!""
