Chapter 506: must have a picture

Later, someone verified that there are three main addresses of Maijie,

The first one is his childhood home, No. 2300 Jackson Avenue, where he grew up. After the sale of Neverland Ranch, this dilapidated town in Gary, Indiana left a lot of shadows on Jackson’s childhood. The place has become a holy place of pilgrimage for fans all over the world, and there is an endless stream of people visiting here every day.

Later, when Jackson became famous at a young age, in order to realize his dream of a big house, he spent nearly 20 million, more than 17 million US dollars to be precise,

By the way, that was more than 17 million in 1987!

Bought the Dream Farm located in Santa Barbara, Los Angeles, which is equivalent to the size of ten Ananmen Squares, and then invested more than 30 million US dollars in renovations, so that the Dream Farm gradually took shape.

In order to maintain the operation of Neverland Manor, one hundred and fifty people need to be hired, and the annual maintenance cost is as high as 10 million to 30 million.

Over the past twenty years, he has invested two to three hundred million in this manor.

The last is the address of the mansion where he died, 100 North Carolina Avenue, Holby Hill, Los Angeles,

This is the place where he lived before his death, but he didn't buy it, but rented it. It is said that the monthly rent is as high as 100,000 US dollars.

This is also where he died.

But few people know that he lived in Las Vegas for a while between Neverland and Holby Hills,

Calculated, from the end of 2006 to the present, it is a little longer than the time in Holby Mountain.

So now the destination of Chen Yang and his party is Las Vegas, the world-famous super gambling city.



On the plane, Zou Rong was still a little unbelievable, "Why does Maijie want to see you?"

Although she is not a fan of Meijie, it does not prevent her from knowing what kind of person Meijie is. It is because she knows that she is surprised.

It's not an exaggeration at all, meeting him is much more difficult than meeting the old American president!

Chen Yang pondered seriously for two seconds, put his arm around her shoulder and said, "Maybe it's because your husband is more handsome!"

puff…

Zou Rong vomited blood, tilted her head, and fell into someone's arms.

Qin Yu and Huang Shan on the opposite side laughed shamelessly and clinked each other with red wine glasses, as if they were laughing at someone's embarrassment.

A thin-skinned person can't be a businessman. Boss Chen's thick-skinned face has been trained to be very thick. He put his arm around his wife as if nothing had happened, and asked Huang Shan and Qin Yu with a glass of juice in the other hand.

"Gossip, does Maijie really owe a lot of money? Even Neverland is going to be mortgaged?"

Qin Yu blinked and shook his head, expressing that he didn't understand why,

Her daily life is very monotonous. Apart from work, she looks for food all over the world, and has little interest in entertainment and gossip.

Huang Shan sipped her red wine and said with a smile, "I really know a little bit about this. How should I put it? Do you know how much Jackson's total assets are?"

Chen Yang shook his head decisively,

The news about Maijie's debts in his previous life was flying all over the sky. How many people paid attention to him? How much money does he have? !

At this time, Zou Rong also sat up straight, leaning on Chen Yang, looking at Huang Shan with great interest.

Huang Shan smiled and said, "According to public statistics, Mai Jie's personal real estate is worth more than 100 million U.S. dollars, and his personal song copyright is worth 250 million U.S. dollars.

The Sony/Music Publishing Company, a joint venture with Sony, is worth US$2.5 billion, and he owns half of it, which is US$1.25 billion.

In addition, other investments are worth 200 million U.S. dollars. Taken together, his total personal net worth exceeds 1.8 billion U.S. dollars! "

Chen Yang's eyes widened. No matter how bad he was in math, he knew that there was something tricky in it.

Would a big star with a net worth of more than 1.8 billion dollars sell his property because of a debt of more than 20 million dollars? !

Huang Shan put down the wine glass and said with a little emotion, "It is rumored that Mai Jie is in debt of more than 200 million US dollars. In fact, this means that all his debts are counted, but he does not mention his personal net worth and annual fixed income. income,

In other words, it is the same reason to tell the outside world that Mr. Chen owes 20 billion US dollars in debt! "

"what?"

Zou Rong frowned instantly, turned to look at Chen Yang, "You owe 20 billion US dollars?"

Chen Yang blinked, unable to recover for a while,

Do I owe $20 billion?

I didn't count it.

It should be about the same, right?

Qin Yu added fuel to the opposite side, "It may be more than that! If all the bank credit lines are used up, it is estimated that it will reach the level of more than 50 billion US dollars!"

When it was over, I felt that it was not enough, so I added another sentence, "Oh, it may be even higher!"

Chen Yang narrowed his eyes slightly, and stared viciously at the other side,

It's not to blame Qin Yu for revealing all the real data. When Zou Rong officially enters the company to work, with her job position, she will definitely have access to all the contract texts. The total amount owed by the company can be calculated with a calculator.

The main reason is that this kind of attitude of watching the excitement is too big to be hated!

Seeing that the boss was deflated, the two migrant workers were very happy. They happily sat on the sofa and watched the show.

It's just a pity that Zou Rong still had some brains after all, and quickly realized, "Balley, Huahuo, and Hengli are all heavy assets, and it's normal to have high debts. The main thing is to look at the asset-liability ratio. This should be Not high?!"

Chen Yang pursed his lips, hugged her back, turned his head and smiled, "I didn't ask the exact amount, but the red line I drew for Deloitte is 70%, no matter which company it is, if the asset-liability ratio exceeds this ratio , they need to take the primary responsibility, but they are fine until today, so they should have passed.”

Upon hearing this, Zou Rong felt relieved, and obediently waited to hear the gossip.

With no excitement to watch, Huang Shan smacked her lips regretfully, and continued, "In addition to assets, Maijie also has a huge amount of fixed income every year.

He is the only artist in the global music industry who owns the copyright of his own song lyrics, song mastering and song distribution rights, so his record commission is the highest in the music industry, almost reaching 30 to 35% of the retail sales of records ,

Based on the retail price and sales volume of his records, his personal record sales in the past five years have exceeded 180 million US dollars, excluding taxes, it is 112 million US dollars, and the average annual after-tax income is 25 million dollars,

In addition, there are revenue sharing from Sony/, and various other commercial income,

Even if he doesn't do anything and just sits at home, his annual after-tax income is between 65 million and 70 million US dollars! "

"Ah,"

Chen Yang couldn't help opening his mouth wide, "Then why is he still in debt?"

Based on this standard of income, over 90% of the listed companies in the country can pay off their debts like this. How much money can Maijie make? !

Huang Shan shrugged and said, "Of course it's a big expense. Apart from occasionally investing in some businesses, he has a lot of fixed expenses every year.

The first is charity. He has directly funded more than 40 charitable organizations, and he sends tens of millions of dollars to these organizations free of charge almost every year. If there is an emergency, he will make additional donations."

Speaking of this, Huang Shan smiled meaningfully, "Just a month ago, among the first batch of foreign donations, there was an anonymous donation of 5 million US dollars. Outsiders may not know it, but according to the account information of the source of funds, it is not difficult. Guess who the donor is!"

Chen Yang understood in seconds, nodded and said nothing.

Huang Shan smiled and continued, "He spends between 10 million and 20 million dollars on charity every year. Apart from charity, his biggest personal expense is Neverland.

Although he didn't live in it himself, all the facilities inside are still under normal maintenance, and the annual cost here is 20 to 30 million US dollars.

In addition, there are legal fees entangled in lawsuits, large purchases, free funerals for poor black artists, etc.,

The remaining net income is about 20 million US dollars, which is the money he used to repay the debt he borrowed due to investment.

Therefore, to say that he is in debt is just like the lawsuit, it is clearly that the unscrupulous media is smearing! "

Chen Yang nodded silently, and at the same time smacked his lips regretfully,

He thought that Jackson was really unable to repay his debts, so he would work so hard to prepare for the concert next year, and planned to help him. Now it seems that there is no such opportunity.

People are simply dedicated, okay?



After a five-hour flight, Chen Yang traveled from the east to the west of the United States.

The plane landed at the airport, the hatch opened, and a luxury motorcade was already waiting inside the airport.

This one wasn't sent by Jackson,

Of course, he also said that he would arrange someone to pick him up at the airport, but Huang Shan refused.

Las Vegas is very close to Los Angeles, and not far from Silicon Valley, where the headquarters of the Palm Group is located. In addition, the newly established Rainbow Financial Group also has a branch in this area. Find a motorcade with security forces. easy.

Xiaobu's Cadillac Diwei was in the middle, surrounded by two ordinary bulletproof Cadillacs at the front and rear, and slowly drove into a well-protected community. After a while, he entered a single-family manor with tall walls.

As expected of a place with a monthly rent of 70,000 U.S. dollars, the place is really big enough, and the whole caravan doesn't feel crowded.

After opening the door and getting out of the car, a short, pot-bellied middle-aged Caucasian man walked over with open arms and a smile on his face.

Frankly speaking, this face looks quite pleasing. Although I can't understand what he is saying, I can feel his enthusiasm from the rich body language.

Huang Shan acted as an assistant and translator very consciously, "This is Jackson's manager Frank Dileo. He extended his most sincere welcome to our arrival. In addition, he also apologized for Major. Due to the aggravation of his illness, Maijie couldn't see the sun during this time, so he didn't come out to greet him in person."

"Hahaha, it's okay, it's okay,"

Boss Chen shook hands generously, and at the same time smiled at Di Leo, "Mr. Shan, do you understand the intelligent translation? I'll leave it to you!"

One sentence is broken,

Qin Yu's originally very businesslike smile turned into a big grin, and his stomach couldn't stop trembling.

Zou Rong quickly lowered her head, afraid that her expression would betray something,

Resisting the urge to roll her eyes, Huang Shan said a bird's language to Di Leo, and then a group of people walked inside.

Walking through a path full of greenery, Chen Yang walked to the door of the villa. Without entering the door, Chen Yang saw the owner here, Jackson who was standing on the steps.

The first impression is thin,

He is really too thin, just like skin and bones, with a white T-shirt on his body, when the wind blows, you can still see the skeleton on his shoulders,

And the exposed arms and hands also prove this point.

Seeing Chen Yang, Mai Jie showed his iconic smile and opened his arms towards him,

Chen Yang faintly shook his head, and seemed to see a certain image in the video again,

But now it is not an image, but a person who appears in front of him alive.

In a flash of effort, Chen Yang had already walked in front of him, and at the same time smiled and opened his arms, hugging him cordially.

After parting, Maijie shook hands with several ladies and said a series of words that Chen Yang could not understand,

Huang Shan quickly translated, "Maijie said he was very happy to meet us, and Mr. Chen is more handsome than on TV and photos, and we are also very beautiful."

Without the boss's instructions, Huang Toolman also understood the true meaning of intelligent translation, and took the initiative to say half-polite, half-sincere compliments to Maijie,

After exchanging pleasantries, Major invited them into the living room,

Chen Yang first gave the gift, "This is our own company's product, a mobile phone, an iPad, and several drones from China."

Jackson took it with both hands with a smile on his face. After opening it on the spot, his face was full of surprises, and he thanked Chen Yang repeatedly.

Dileo sat aside like a Maitreya Buddha, even smiling, but his small eyes flickered from time to time, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Next, the atmosphere was also very good. Chen Yang taught Jackson how to use the Damai mobile phone and iPad, and showed him how to operate the drone.

He also controlled the drone to take a group photo for everyone.

Jackson had a great time playing like a child with a new toy.

On the other side, Dileo looked at Jackson who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, and suddenly whispered, "Thank you very much!"

Not far away, Huang Shan looked at him inexplicably, "Thank you for what?"

You can't just say this sentence just for a few gifts.

Dileo turned his head and said seriously, "Thank you for bringing happiness to Michael!"

Huang Shan raised her eyebrows, pursed her lips and said with a smile, "You're welcome, it's nothing."

"No, it's not the same," Di Leo said softly, "I wasn't by Michael's side for a long time before, and it wasn't until this year that I discovered that his mental state was very bad.

For this reason, I decided to return to him and take over his acting career. In fact, I plan to arrange a few concerts for him next year to distract him, otherwise, he will fall into pessimism and disappointment. Unable to extricate themselves from emotions. "

Huang Shan rolled her eyes, glanced at Chen Yang, who was having a great time with Jackson, but kept talking to each other, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, and then she looked at Di Leo, "Actually, you don't need to tell me These."

Talk lightly and deeply, and you must have a plan!

Dileo grinned, "Of course, it's really unnecessary under normal circumstances, but I remember you have a performing arts company in China, right?"

Huang Shan's eyes narrowed slightly, and she quickly guessed what the other party was thinking, "You want us to take over Jackson's domestic acting business?!"
