After leaving Berlin International Airport, Ronan saw Tony Koch who came to pick him up. He hadn't seen him for a year. I don't know if he was alone in charge of a company. This guy looked much more mature.

Ronan hugged him and briefly introduced the accompanying staff.

"This is..." Tony Koch's eyes fell on Priyaca Chopra.

A beautiful face and a sexy figure that cannot be covered in winter clothes are so easy to attract people.

Ronan introduced: "Tony, this is Yaka, Priyaka Chopra, an Indian actor with great potential, and now I am my female companion."

Tony Koch simply greeted Priyaca Chopra. The meaning of the following sentence was very clear. This is just a female companion, not a girlfriend.

The airport was not a place to speak. Tony Koch led his group out of the airport, letting others get on a business car, and pulling Ronan into another Mercedes-Benz sedan.

Instructing the driver to drive, Tony Koch shook his head at Ronan and said, "You are too unpursuing."

Ronan knew that he was talking about Priyaca Chopra and said, "This is a gift from Indians to me. An Indian girl, who was helpless when she arrived in Los Angeles, was safe and had no hidden dangers."

"You won't come, are you?" Tony Koch asked in surprise.

Ronan shrugged: "How is it possible? No matter how simple a person enters Hollywood, he will become a human being. At that time, he should say goodbye."

Tony Koch understood: "You just found a beautiful and sexy temporary bedmate. Ronan, you are abducting an ignorant girl."

"Ignorance?" Ronan smiled: "You underestimate her too much."

He didn't want to discuss it any more, so he changed the topic: "Send us to a hotel, I've booked a hotel."

Last time Ronan came here, he often lived at Helen Koch's house. This time, five people came, and it would be inappropriate to bother.

"Mom asked me to invite you to supper," said Tony Koch.

Ronan looked at the time and said, "Let's go there directly."

Turning on his cell phone, he called Connie and asked her to take the other people to the hotel first.

When he arrived at the Koch's mansion, Ronan met Helen Koch and hugged her a few steps forward. No matter what, this was his elder.

"Auntie Helen, you are getting more and more beautiful." Ronan praised sincerely.

"It's been a year." Helen Koch said deliberately: "You don't say you come to Germany to see me."

Ronan quickly said, "Aren't I here?"

Helen Koch smiled and said, "You can talk." She took the lead in walking towards the restaurant and said, "Are you hungry? I prepared the Chinese meal you like to eat."

Luo Nan went to the bathroom first. When he returned to the restaurant, the typical Western-style Chinese food was already on the dining table.

There were only three people eating, and they were chatting while eating.

"Your company has grown very fast this year."

Because of Koch Pictures, Helen also has a certain understanding of the film industry: "Last time you called and said you had acquired two companies?"

Ronan explained: "It is a company, Embassy Pictures, a small distribution company, with the ability to distribute movies in North America. In addition, it is not the company that acquired. I dug up the distribution department of Polygon Pictures and is preparing to build an independent overseas distribution channel."

Tony Koch is already a professional: "That is to say, in the future, you don't need to rely on other companies to release the videos you make?"

Ronan swallowed a piece of chicken and said, "North America distribution is not a problem at present. Overseas distribution channels are still under construction. It will take as early as three to four months before the movie will be released overseas."

Helen exclaimed: "Ronan, your career is getting bigger and bigger. If your father can see it, he will be very pleased."

Ronan smiled, but said nothing.

"Look at me." Helen shook her head: "Always say these sad things."

Ronan actually didn't care, and said calmly: "It's okay, aunt."

Tony Koch interjected in time: "Is financing going to India smooth? Isn't the new project costing $50 million? Have you raised it?"

"I have basically reached an investment agreement with the Indian Mountain Foundation." Ronan said the truth: "They will invest $40 million in the "Spy Shadows" project, and Shahai Entertainment can raise another $10 million, which is enough."

Tony Koch didn't know much about India and asked, "Indians are very rich?"

Ronan said: "There are some people who are very wealthy."

Many countries that seem poor often have very concentrated wealth.

"By the way, Tony." Ronan turned and asked, "How is your financing here?"

Speaking of financing, Tony Koch was a little excited: "It was not very smooth at first, and the financing amount had not exceeded $20 million, but after you sent the relevant information about "Spy Shadows" and the insurance contract of Allianz Group, those who were waiting and watching suddenly became active, and the financing amount quickly reached $40 million."

Ronan nodded slightly, this is the benefit of third-party guarantees.

Many times, insurance contracts can even be used as collateral.

Helen said at this time: "I have about $10 million to invest again."

Of course, you cannot give up the legitimate tax exemption method, otherwise 51% of income tax can make people vomit blood.

Ronan remembered another thing and asked, "Tony, I asked the company finance to settle the $10 million for the previous project with you. Have you received the funds?"

Tony Koch said: "I received it and I have returned it to all investors, including my mom. They want to continue working with me. Currently, there is $20 million. Because I have worked with Koch Pictures once, the funds can be received at any time."

Ronan calculated that this seemed to be $70 million? And the "Spy Shadows" project is only $50 million.

This time, he did not bring a project like "Human Purge 2". The investment was less than $10 million, and he could not pass the tax refund review at all. It is estimated that in the eyes of Germans, the driving effect is slightly stronger than that of art films.

"You are amazing, Tony." Ronan sincerely praised: "I admire you very much when I found so many investments."

Tony Koch said in a stinky way: "I didn't understand before, once I get serious..."

Helen interrupted her son: "The main reason is that this tax avoidance channel has no worries. This is not a legal loophole, but a government policy. There is no need to worry about the tax bureau suddenly liquidating it and then asking you to make up for it."

Tony Koch shrugged: "The tax payment also means a fine."

Ronan picked up the water cup and took a sip, saying, "I hope this policy can last for a few more years."

In my previous life, many film and television companies in the country used the tax preferential policies of a certain city to avoid taxes, but later they all became tragedies.

Facts have proved countless times that you must not evade taxes.

Germany's policy seems to be still in use before he came to Los Angeles, but I have also heard that the German Parliament has discussed it several times and wants to cancel this policy.

"As far as I know," Tony Koch continued: "It will not be cancelled in the short term. This policy will have a certain driving effect on the financial industry."

Ronan asked, "Are you going to find an intermediary this time?"

Tony Koch was confident: "No, Koch Pictures is enough to do it." He further said: "I have someone formulated an application plan for "Spy Shadows" based on the information you sent over. The project budget is 50 million US dollars. This is the most widely-acclaimed agent action film, with an expected revenue of 70 million US dollars, a 10% tax refund discount, and a 7 million US dollars."

"No problem, right?" Luo Nan was a little worried.

Tony Koch said: "Don't worry, it will definitely be passed. We will sign the contract as soon as possible and you will get approval as early as mid-month."

Ronan nodded: "I will sign a contract with you tomorrow."

The two briefly talked about the contract. It was basically the same as last time. Koch Pictures purchased the "Spy Shadows" project for $50 million, and Shahai Entertainment then rented back all copyrights, including sequel production. The rent was still paid in two batches in the name of investment share, namely $40 million and $10 million respectively.

The $7 million tax refund will be $700,000 in accordance with the contract with the middleman last year, Ronan gave Koch Pictures a 10% handling fee, which is $700,000.

Although the two parties have friendship, the business accounts must be settled clearly.

Ronan knew that it was very important to cooperate for a long time.

"I have $20 million left here," Tony Koch asked. "Ronan, do you have a movie project in your hands to invest in? It's not like this, but a real investment."

He was extremely impressed by Ronan's vision. The two of them watched the movie "Blair the Witch" together at the St. Dennis Film Festival. The only one that was so bad that it could not be more bad, Ronan actually operated a box office of more than 150 million US dollars in North America.

What is this? This is a miracle!

When Ronan thought about it, the sequel movie had little risk and almost guaranteed profits. He would not accept foreign investment. For several other projects, the screenwriter team was writing scripts...

Tony Koch obviously did not want to invest in Shahai Entertainment's project, and said: "I met a film project where the producer was lobbying the German Constantine Pictures. I talked with the producer and director a few times, and it felt good. Do you want to meet them? Koch Pictures is an empty shell and has no production ability. This project is not as good as your Shahai Entertainment. We cooperate with the two of us?"

Ronan thought for a while and said, "I'll meet them first."

"Okay!" said Tony Koch: "There will be a party in the German film industry tomorrow night. Will the two of you go, and we will go too?"

Ronan nodded: "Yes."

After dinner, the three left the restaurant and went to the living room to continue discussing cooperation.

It was not until nine o'clock in the evening that Ronan said goodbye and left. Tony Koch drove him back to the hotel in person. The two agreed to meet at the hotel tomorrow.

Ronan called his assistant Connie, asked about the room he checked in, took the elevator upstairs, took the room card and opened the door of the suite. He just took off his coat and knocked on the door.
Chapter completed!
