According to Mansell, on the very first day of the fundraising event, he went to the venue himself. Perhaps after reviewing the materials, he specifically instructed people in Los Angeles to collect relevant information.

No matter how you look at it, tens of millions of dollars is a huge investment.

No wonder the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority has never discussed specific investment matters with him.

Thinking back now, the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority has done quite a lot of work. On one hand, they assist Sahara Entertainment in fully showcasing Arab friendliness and enthusiasm to Hollywood visitors; on the other hand, they conduct actual investigations before deciding whether to invest.

Even if Sahara Entertainment raises funds from other parties, as long as they haven't left Abu Dhabi, the situation remains under the control of the Investment Authority.

With these speculations, to say he wasn't worried at all would be a lie, but Ronald was still fairly confident. From the very beginning of the project, he never underestimated the Arabs, and everything was handled genuinely.

Except for the highly subjective views on Jews, all the information was authentic and reliable.

The elevator arrived. Ronald took the elevator downstairs, returned to the venue full of fighting spirit, and continued to deal with those interested in investing.

Compared to Mansell, these people were at best just mosquitoes.

But no matter how small a mosquito is, it's still meat.

In the conference room, Mansell opened a file bag and asked his two attendants, "What do you think?"

Chapter 11: Money, This Thing

Inside the conference room, Mansell opened the file bag and quickly flipped through it.

The thin attendant spoke first: "Ronald Anderson does show a certain level of sincerity. Although the two suggestions he made are rather general and lack any concrete details, if you think about it carefully, their feasibility is actually quite high."

Mansell was still going through the documents and casually said, "Go on."

"The Jewish influence in Hollywood is immense. We can't possibly reverse the situation immediately, but as Hollywood movies become more and more influential, we can't just let them keep smearing us." The thin attendant had clearly thought this through: "Cultivating an agent is the ideal approach."

He lowered his voice slightly: "Let Americans bite Americans."

Mansell tapped the armrest of his chair slowly: "Can we break the Jewish-controlled Hollywood industry chain model?"

The fat attendant suddenly chimed in: "Extremely difficult. The six major Hollywood studios are almost monopolistic, leaving almost no room for new forces to rise. And Ronald Anderson..."

His view differed from the thin attendant: "Whether Ronald Anderson and Sahara Entertainment have any issues is hard to say."

Mansell smiled and said, "Truly honest and reliable Americans are indeed rare."

The thin attendant glanced at the fat one and retorted, "I think Ronald Anderson is quite reliable. We've all seen it—Ronald Anderson didn't just provide information about his successes, he also included cases of failure. Not to mention anything else, just the reminder to use the sports industry to expand our influence is enough to prove his sincerity."

The fat attendant shook his head: "It's just a few words."

"Is it really just a few words?" The thin attendant emphasized, "You and I have both helped organize numerous sporting events, even gone to Europe to watch major matches in person, but we've never thought about leveraging professional sports clubs. If it weren't for Ronald Anderson's reminder, how long would it have taken us to come up with this idea?"

The fat one opened his mouth, but couldn't refute it. He was a soccer fan, had even helped prepare for the Gulf Cup, but had never thought of using soccer to break new ground.

This difference in vision was undeniable.

"Acquiring a top professional sports club is an excellent suggestion." With one sentence, Mansell set the tone. "I'll personally report this to the president later."

The thin attendant smiled, but the fat one still insisted, "As for Hollywood, I think we need to be cautious."

These two were Mansell's most trusted confidants. Mansell directly handed the documents in his hands to the two of them, saying, "These are materials verified by the Investment Authority's General Office in the US."

The thin one quickly flipped through the documents in his hand, saying as he read, "Sahara Entertainment was established on August 1, 1987, registered in Delaware, with a registered capital of $300,000. It's a formal member of the Hollywood Producers Guild. The original legal representative was John Anderson, now it's Ronald Anderson. Since its establishment, the company has produced 36 films..."

The fat attendant was also flipping through the documents: "These are the tax records for the past ten years, this is the contract with Blockbuster for distributing videotapes, this is a copy of the filing for 'The Purge' with the Producers Guild, these are media reports on 'The Purge' from outlets including the Los Angeles Times, Variety, and The Hollywood Reporter, these are photos from the project launch press conference, and these are ads for recruiting directors and behind-the-scenes production teams."

The thin attendant whispered, "There are still American media reporting on 'The Purge' right now. Ronald Anderson has sent formal invitations to several star actors, hoping to invite them to star in this film."

"Did those stars refuse?" the fat one asked.

"No." The thin one shook his head. "Those people haven't responded yet. I guess they'll wait until Ronald Anderson goes back to negotiate?"

The fat one fell silent.

One item after another, page after page of information obtained from the investigation, was exactly the same as what Ronald Anderson had presented at the fundraising event.

"So, what do you think?" Mansell asked again.

The fat one was still silent, seemingly at a loss for words for the moment.
