Although this investment plan made the fund companies exclaim that they were experts, they would never rashly invest in a film industry that they were unfamiliar with.
Generally, the fund companies would invest most in film companies, and then make profits through the film companies. They had never directly invested in a film.
This was also the situation in the entire global film industry. Films were shot by film production companies who raised funds. Film production companies might look for various investors, but there had never been an example of adding a share of the film's box office and selling it directly as shares.
This was something that had never been done before. All the investors were very cautious about this, although the other party's PV and film looked quite good and had a bright future.
However, there were also many blockbuster films in history. After careful calculation, there were far more blockbuster films that failed to recover their costs than those that did.
Therefore, it seemed that investing was a very unreliable thing.
Therefore, at first, many investment companies were in a wait-and-see state, until a shocking piece of news was revealed. The America First Foundation was actually behind this film.
The main reason why many investment companies were in a wait-and-see state was that Telensu Films, which was behind "Grey Ghost of the Pacific Ocean", was really an unknown film company, and they couldn't even find a famous film.
After careful investigation, they found that this was actually a film company that had only been established for a few months and had never produced a single film. No wonder they couldn't find any representative works.
However, very soon, after in-depth investigation, some well-connected funds were surprised to find that the unknown Telensu Films was actually behind the America First Foundation's investment. In other words, this was an investment project that the America First Foundation was optimistic about.
Once this news was revealed, all the investment funds in the United States no longer hesitated. They immediately rushed to Telensu Films and waved the money in their hands, wanting to buy the shares of the film that the other party was selling.
What a joke. This film had actually been chosen by the America First Foundation, who had been invincible in investment in recent years and whose assets had increased by more than ten times, which meant that this film would definitely be profitable. Otherwise, wouldn't the America First Foundation's reputation be ruined?
That was absolutely impossible, so there was nothing wrong with following the America First Foundation. If the America First Foundation ate the meat, it would be good enough for them to eat the soup.
Therefore, only one day after the news of the American Priority Foundation was announced, the 60,000 shares of "Grey Ghost of the Pacific" were all sold.
Many foundations who received the news later were so angry that they beat their chests and stamped their feet. They were upset that they had lost an opportunity to make money.
In the end, "Grey Ghost in the Pacific Ocean" received investment from a total of 30 American fund companies … This was also under the restrictions set by the movie producers. Each fund was only allowed to purchase 2,000 shares of the shares at most. Otherwise, one fund would be able to buy all the shares.
After all, 120 million USD was not a big number for the foundation.
Just as the 30 foundations were rejoicing that they had caught up with the America First Foundation, the America First Foundation did something else.
That was the first time the America First Foundation announced to the public that they would be releasing the first film fund in history.
Because the American Priority Foundation owned 40% of the shares, which were 40,000 shares of the Grey Ghost in the Pacific Ocean, the American Priority Foundation decided to split the 40,000 shares into 40 million shares and turn them into a wealth management product to sell to the public.
All United States citizens were eligible to buy it. The price of each wealth management product was only 3 USD. After the film was released, each share would be able to earn a profit of one hundred million of the total box office.
According to the America First Foundation's calculations, as long as the global box office exceeded 680 million USD, the wealth management product would be profitable.
If the global box office exceeded 1 billion USD, they would be able to earn 50% of the profit. If it exceeded 1.35 billion USD, the profit would be doubled!
At the same time, the America First Foundation guaranteed that the film would be released in 2000, which meant that it would be released in less than two years. As a result, the annual rate of return of the wealth management product would be extremely high, surpassing the rate of return of almost all wealth management products in the market.
Of course, the risk of this wealth management product was also very high. However, the greater the risk, the greater the profit. This was an irrefutable truth. It was up to the individual whether to buy it or not. After all, as long as the America First Foundation explained the risks clearly, it would be fine.
At this moment, the reputation of the America First Foundation had spread throughout the United States. In five years, the total investment had doubled by 16 times, which made all United States shareholders worship it like a god.
Previously, there were countless United States shareholders who wanted to buy the products launched by the America First Foundation. However, the America First Foundation was so proud that they had no intention of selling any financial products. This made all United States shareholders very disappointed.
However, this time, the America First Foundation actually launched the first ever financial product. This was definitely the biggest news in the United States' financial industry in 1999!
More importantly, when many United States shareholders studied it, they exclaimed at the same time that this was the first movie fund product in the history of the United States. It was also the first product that used the box office of a movie as a wealth management product.
This was definitely a financial innovation, the biggest financial innovation of 1999. As expected of the America First Foundation. The financial industry had not innovated for several years, but now, they had launched such an innovative product. This let the shareholders know that even the box office of a movie could be sold as a financial product.
Long live financial innovation!

With the America First Foundation's signboard hanging here, 40 million copies of the product were sold out in the blink of an eye. There was not a single bit left.
The other United States funds were shocked by the America First Foundation's methods. They never thought that the America First Foundation could come up with a super innovative financial product.
Moreover, according to the information they received, the 40 million copies of the product directly made the America First Foundation a huge profit of 120 million US dollars. On the other hand, the America First Foundation's investment of 60 million US dollars was only 60 million US dollars.
This investment had directly doubled.
More importantly, after buying the product, the buyer was responsible for their own profits and losses. In other words, regardless of whether the movie made money or lost money after its release, the amount of profit and loss had nothing to do with the America First Foundation.
This 60 million US dollars was the America First Foundation's net profit. It was a sure win and no loss!
This was a financial product with a 100% profit margin!
This was definitely a financial innovation. It was the best financial innovation in the history of the United States!
Countless funds cheered excitedly.
