Iâm A Quadrillionaire chapter 271 Two middle-aged men walked up to David, Marie, and Hannah-one was tall and fat, while the other was short and skinny!
One was Homer Mulligan, a famous director directing Marieâs movie, and the other was Mr. Wilson, who Marie chatted with initially.
âMr. Mulligan!â
âMr. Mulligan!â
Marie and Hannah shouted at the same time.
They disliked Homer.
However, they had no other choice. Although Homer was not as influential as the director holding the banquet today, he was already a first-tier director in the country, and a starlet like Marie could not afford to offend him.
Otherwise, they would not have to work so hard finding investors. They could just quit on the spot!
âMarie, Iâd like you to meet Mr. Wilson. Heâs interested in our movie,â Homer said to Marie.
âMr. Mulligan, Iâve spoken to Ms. Kent, but she doesnât seem interested in my companyâs investment!â
Mr. Wilson said pointedly.
âOh? Whatâs going on? Marie, why donât you hurry up and apologize to Mr. Wilson? Our last investor pulled out because of you. Now that we finally got another one, youâre trying to screw it up again?
Whatâs the matter with you? Do you want to star in the movie? Do you want a career in the entertainment industry? Tell me if you donât. I can help you out!â Homer scolded Marie.
He looked down on Marie. She had no background and was unwilling to sacrifice anything, yet she wanted to make it in the entertainment industry.
Could she have become one of the four rising stars in the country if it were not for Hannah, her manager with connections in the entertainment industry? Dream on!
However, some investors liked proud and innocent starlet who had just debuted. For example, Mr.
Wilson, who was in front of him. Perhaps it gave them a better sense of conquest and accomplishment âMr. Mulligan! Iâve found a new investor!â Marie said, fighting back her grievance.
âWho is it?â Asked Homer.
âMr. Lidell, and heâs ready to invest in our movie,â said Marie.
âShit!â
Marie mentioned Davidâs name before Hannah.could stop her.
It was obvious that David was a swindler. His current image could temporarily fool Homer, but what about when he had to cough up real money?
Once word about this got out, Marie would become a public enemy in the film industry, and it would be difficult for her to turn her fate around.
Her efforts over these two years were in vain!
Hannahâs beautiful eyes glared at David as she thought of it. The man was a troublemaker with good looks.
Davidâs strong mind power sensed Hannahâs dissatisfaction with him, and he was puzzled!
âIâm f*cking investing in you.
âWhy do you treat me like Iâm the enemy?
âThereâs no reason for that, is there?
âYouâve been very nice to other investors, but why do you treat me differently? Is it because Iâm investing too much money?
âWomen! 1 âTheyâre unbelievable creatures.â
âIâm curious about where you work, Mr. Lidell,â said Homer.
âI donât work for anyone. Iâm friends with Ms. Kent. I heard she needs investors, and Iâm interested in it myself, so I decided to put some money in,â said David.
âHow much are you prepared to invest then, Mr. Lidell?â Asked Homer.
David indeed looked extraordinary. He seemed a little more sophisticated than the heirs he was used to dealing with. If Marie had managed to bag an heir like this, it was normal that he would offer money to help her.
Still, he needed to find out how much money he was prepared to put in so he could plan his next move.
It would be nice if he could settle it all at once, but the odds were against him!
Having these heirs spend millions or tens of millions of dollars in investments was already good enough, but there was no way they could get him to invest three hundred million to five hundred million dollars.
No one was that foolish. Few people would pay that much for a woman.
âIt doesnât matter how much I have to invest! But I have one request!â David said.
âGo ahead, Mr. Lidell! Weâll do our best to meet the demands of our investors,â Homer said with a smile.
âSo David wants to be the sole investor!â
It was a situation he was happy with. Having one investor was not the same as having many.
