Chapter 1,554 On the cusp of the storm(2/2)
In modern times, he is probably the youngest person among all those who have made themselves billionaires with their bare hands.
Moreover, two "small goals" were achieved in one fell swoop.
Not to mention, he also helped Keiko Matsumoto’s personal account gain 300 million yen.
The 700 million yen mortgage loan under the name of Matsumoto Keiko Kiri Studio, also used the left foot to step on the right foot, and used the method of increasing leverage in a circular manner to reach 4 billion yen, which means that 1.3 billion yen was created out of thin air.
Of pure profit.
What a coincidence. In addition to the one billion yen investment used to shoot the movie "Li Xianglan", part of the money was used to pay salaries and half-year bonuses to employees, and the rest was just enough to buy Akira Kurosawa's personal film.
From the studio.
Isn't this God's will?
As the saying goes, if you don't take what God gives you, you will suffer the consequences.
Nothing else, just buy it!
But then again, after making a lot of money, Ning Weimin hid behind the scenes and was bored, and it was quite beautiful not to show off his appearance.
But he keeps buying properties for Matsumoto Keiko, which is equivalent to pushing her to the forefront.
Akira Kurosawa's studio has always been rented.
In 1970, Kurosawa lost all his money with "Train Mania" and it was closed.
After many years, all that remains of this studio are some film copies, old equipment, and two old men who clean the warehouse.
Since no one in the contemporary era really understands the value of the film library, in the eyes of almost all industry insiders, this studio is regarded as rubbish.
It's too cumbersome to give it for free, and it's not worth spending money on.
But Ning Weimin asked Matsumoto Keiko to buy it for 150 million yen. Isn't this the most ridiculous thing in the world?
So after Akira Kurosawa and Keiko Matsumoto signed a contract to complete the deal, the news spread quickly.
As a buyer, Keiko Matsumoto made headlines in various sports newspapers.
It even attracted the attention of a financial column of TV Asahi, which made a two-minute report on it.
Almost all kinds of reports praised her as a cultural businessman who "understands the true meaning of art", but the subtext actually contained a lot of ridicule, treating her as a victim of injustice.
The impact of this was even more serious, that is, Matsumoto Keiko became a big fat piece of meat and was targeted by many people who had opened personal production studios and also failed miserably.
As a result, many influential figures in the film industry began to invite Matsumoto Keiko, wanting to have a private meeting with her to see if they could offload the financial burden to her at a high price.
At the same time, this incident also made more and more people curious about Matsumoto Keiko's financial status.
Because according to common sense, Matsumoto Keiko's income is simply not enough to support her buying and selling.
Two studios, plus a movie with an investment of one billion yen, even a primary school student can calculate, what a huge wealth this is.
Even Ken Takakura, the most valuable person in the industry and the one who can make the most money, does not have the financial strength.
So someone started to make trouble again, and some voices questioned Matsumoto Keiko for lying to the public.
She thinks that the person she is dating may not be a person from the entertainment industry, but he is definitely not an ordinary person. He should be a conglomerate boss in the business world.
Keiko Matsumoto intended to confuse the public and cover up the truth that she had become someone else's outsider.
Although the sound did not cause any actual harm, it quickly disappeared.
But that's because the evidence that Matsumoto Keiko spent huge sums of money to speculate in stocks in the securities market was also investigated by dedicated reporters and completely exposed.
As a result, the matter completely became a big issue, and public opinion was in an uproar. Matsumoto Keiko succeeded in crossing the border, and suddenly became a hot figure in finance and economics.
From then on, the people who stared at her were no longer just sports newspaper reporters looking for gossip, but also reporters from financial columns.
Such a situation and fame are not what Keiko Matsumoto wants, because the pressure she needs to bear is too great.
On the one hand, there are more and more people and things that she needs to socialize with, and she faces the seniors in the film industry who want to take a bite out of her.
They had a headache when they met, so they refused to meet each other, and they were afraid of hurting each other's feelings and offending them.
On the other hand, she still has to be interviewed by financial reporters and properly express her financial views.
This was used to establish the persona of an economic genius and prove that he had obtained enough through legal channels and formal investment to expand his business, so as to conceal the existence of Ning Weimin.
But even so, it's difficult to be comprehensive. After all, there are some people she really can't refuse.
For example, Toshiro Mifune has been friends with Akira Kurosawa for half his life, but now they have no contact with each other.
There is also the widow of Shuji Terayama, the most brilliant film genius of the 1970s, who died of illness in 1983.
The former is because of its aloof status in the industry and is difficult to offend.
Moreover, since he and Akira Kurosawa have a special grudge, refusing is like taking sides selectively, which will definitely cause misunderstandings.
The latter is because they look really pitiful, and if you refuse, you will be stabbed in the spine, and you will easily be criticized morally.
Let's put it this way, if we take over their production studio, it will cost another 500 million yen to solve the problem.
Although Ning Weimin said it was no problem to take over everything, Matsumoto Keiko couldn't help but worry about him and blame herself for the trouble she caused.
In addition, the identity of Matsumoto Keiko's fiancé is getting closer and closer to being exposed, and it has brought new troubles to him.
After all, not all public opinion can be successfully deceived by Matsumoto Keiko's acting skills.
Some people were so imaginative that they put forward a very marketable view, saying that Matsumoto Keiko's fiancé might be a person in the financial industry, so that would make sense.
So if this is really the case, will Matsumoto Keiko's investment involve illegal insider trading?
