Chapter 115: A Blockbuster
Translator: _Min_Editor: Rundi
Pannu Islands, located in South Pacific Ocean, was near the equator. The sunshine made this place a great destination for a vacation.
The tourist attractions were plentiful in the area, natural island, volcano lake, rain forest. But because of the lack of infrastructure, it didn't manage to gain much traction. On the entire main island, the most expensive thing was probably the international airport, which they borrowed the money to build.
At this time, inside the not-so-busy airport terminal, two strange looking foreigners walked side by side.
”Roger, do you think I will be famous? To be honest, I smoked weed when I was 13. I was in juvenile by 15-”
”Hehe, and then you got your a*s pounded by the black uncle inside? Who cares? The guy sitting in the Rainbow Mansion did far dumber things. Also, if you dare to use your Irish accent and call me Roger, I'll twist your head off.” Robert stopped, and turned around to look at the Caucasian teen fiercely.
”Sorry, buddy, you know I am just nervous.” Johnny waved his hand, unbothered by his words, and continued, ”I asked the psychiatrist before, he said he had a phobic for being too famous.”
”Shut up, you bastard,” Robert cursed out.
Johnny kept his mouth shut after he heard those words, he knew that Robert was not someone to mess with. In Los Santos, even the Gang Leader would give him some ground. Although he seemed to have exited out of the business, it was not someone a little pawn like him would dare to mess with.
Whenever someone mentioned to him Irish, three words would surface in Robert's head: Weed, Alcoholic, Poor.
But right now he must patiently entertain this dumb*ss because it has to do with 20 million USD.
As to why he appeared here, it all started from the conversation a couple of days ago with Jiang Chen.
-
”Play a bad guy for me, and 20 million will be your paycheck. I'll pay in gold.”
Jiang Chen stopped momentarily before he continued, ”On an island country in the Pacific.”
Robert paused, then his expression suddenly changed.
”Sh*t, are you going to-”
”You are right. If you guessed it, then keep it to yourself. All in all, write a script for me and pick a good ”protagonist” for me. I am going to film a blockbuster.” Then an evil laugh was transmitted through the phone.
He knew the laugh too well. Someone was going have a bad time.
”...You are crazy. Although I am a producer, I am more of an investor.” Robert forced a troubled smile, he rubbed his temple and continued briefly after, ”Okay, God. Let me think. Where are you planning to film it? How much are you going to invest?”
”One hundred million USD, one year of GDP for Pannu island. The plot will be, a Los Santos billionaire came to Pannu Island with the intentions of investing in the local industry. He began bribing local officials and taking a sh*t on all the natives there. Okay, so that's the first movie's plot. Oh, I recommend the billionaire be acted out by a poor bastard bad to the bone. I need him to display his expressions after he suddenly gets wealthy.”
”Haha-, don't worry, there are too many of you in Los Santos.”
”I'll wire the one hundred million to your account.”
Robert paused when he heard Jiang Chen's words and asked with a perplexed expression, ”You are going to wire it to me? Are you not scared that I am going to run away?”
”I trust that you won't. Honor code right? Especially since I can get you out from IS, are you still-”
”I understand, that's enough.” Robert faked a laugh as he touched his nose. ”We are old friends. Some things don't need to be said.”
”That's right. You are a smart person. The money that's supposed to belong to you will belong to you. Hehe, if this deal is successful, you'll have a lot more to gain from it. Aren't you annoyed with the FBA? I can give you a backup option.”
Robert heard the words, and his throat twitched.
He suddenly remembered a piece of ”entertainment” news on the international section of the newspaper a while ago.
December 30, 2014, Gambia Presidential office was attacked by a militant group of approximately ten people. The militants attempted to stage a coup. This bizarre event was the direct action of the Texas real estate businessman and a Minnesota veteran. They recruited people, bought weapons, and then transported the weapons through an illegal channel to Gambia.
Of course, without a doubt, they failed. Based on their original plan, the action would not receive too much resistance. They thought the soldiers in the presidential office would not pose too much resistance in a dangerous situation like that. Perhaps they would even receive the support of some soldiers who decided to join forces with them.
The result was that three of them were shot died right on the spot. There was no way to defeat them.
In the unsuccessful coup, the Texas real estate developer businessman was the primary sponsor, and because they broke the <Neutraulity Law>, the UA prosecutor sued him. He only sponsored two hundred twenty thousand USD as he only wanted to be a president once.
Now, Robert felt like he was doing the same thing.
Except this lunatic was even more insane, he was willing to put in one hundred million USD!
One hundred million USD to buy an entire country?
Not only that, as well as the cost of mercenaries.
