章 416: Chapter 419
After parking the car, Nancy Josephson crossed the neat stone road and walked to the eye-shaped villa in the manor. She was a frequent visitor here. No one stopped or greeted her until she walked into the spacious living room. I saw Emma the housekeeper waiting for her.
"Duke and Tina are in the study."
The housekeeper led the way, and Nancy Josephson nodded and followed. The two walked up the neat stairs and went directly to the study on the third floor. Emma knocked on the door and asked, and then let Nancy in. Go back to the first floor.
In the study, Duke folded his hands on the desk, Tina Fei looked serious and sorted out the materials, and saw Nancy come in, moved a chair, and sat opposite Duke with her.
"Something?" Nancy asked when seeing Duke and Tina Fey looking a little serious, "Call me back in such a hurry?"
Recently, at the invitation of Christopher Rockencourt, she went to France and Belgium to replace Duke to investigate the feasibility of the project in Europe. The negotiation between the two has entered the final stage, and it will definitely be possible before Halloween. Reach an agreement.
"Sorry, Nancy." Duke picked up the teapot and poured a cup of black tea for her. "There are some situations, I think you need to understand."
Nancy frowned slightly, thinking of the most recent work, and couldn't help asking in confusion, "It is related to Christopher Rockencourt's project."
Duke nodded to her and gestured to Tina Fey, "Tina..."
Tina Fei gave the collated information to Nancy Josephson, "This is the record of the investigation of Christopher Rockencourt by the Hollywood Eye Anthony Pelicano."
After receiving the information, Nancy opened it carefully and read it line by line. She knew that Duke had always been uneasy about Christopher Rockencourt, and it didn't feel strange for people to investigate. The information was very detailed. But after she saw it, not only did she have no more doubts about Christopher Rockencourt, but instead thought he was more credible.
Anthony Pelicano is indeed very good, but his ability is basically limited to Hollywood, and the investigation is all about the situation of the other party from entering Hollywood to the present.
Nancy is very clear about Duke's style of doing things, and first read the information carefully.
Christopher Rockencourt came to Hollywood at the age of twenty-four. Introduced into this circle through the makeup artist of the famous French film star Brigitte Baze. For many years in Hollywood, he has claimed to be the descendant of the European Earl. Many producers, artists, bankers, and investors regard him as a worthy A trusted friend participates in his "project investment" in various ways.
This is also a typical playboy. Before dating Jessica Alba, he lived luxuriously and lived in the top hotels. Female celebrities embraced him. He was a celebrity in Hollywood. He was in the circle for a while. It is still circulating that he is the grandson that Sophia Roland would not admit.
among them. What impressed Nancy most was his skill in picking up girls. The data showed that he had an extraordinary relationship with many actresses such as Demi Moore, and he had even dated with the daughter of the president of Gabon, a small African country!
Just looking at this information, Christopher Rockencourt's Hollywood career can be described as extremely successful.
After closing the information, Nancy looked at Duke, the doubt in her eyes thickened.
Tina Fei said at this time, "Anthony Pelicano basically dug him out of Hollywood. But the title of the Eye of Hollywood is a bit of a misnomer."
The investigation on the other side found far more than this. Tina Fei handed over another piece of information, "This is a piece of information dug up by a former fbi employee using his network."
Without waiting for Nancy to look through the information, Tina Fei continued, "He found the makeup artist who introduced Christopher Rockencourt into Hollywood through the immigration bureau in Northern Europe. Christopher Rockencourt first knew him. At that time, he was neither an earl nor a producer. He just claimed to be the lightweight champion of European boxing..."
"Also, his so-called investment projects in the past also had problems." Tina Fei continued, "Christopher Rockencourt does have a good relationship with many Hollywood celebrities. In the past few years, these people have also invested a lot in his projects. Money, and got a corresponding return. But these investments have problems."
"He built a pyramid-like investment structure to attract people at the bottom of the pyramid to invest, and then took away their money and repaid a small part of it, so that they would think they got a huge return, and then tell their friends... "
"Ponzi scheme?" Nancy immediately understood what Tina Fey meant.
"It's not just that..." Duke interjected, "He won the trust of more people in this way, so that these people can make more investments, especially when they throw out a big project. Those who have won trust will invest in his projects several times more than in the past, and then..."
"He disappeared with this money through financial means..." Tina Fei took Duke's words.
Nancy seemed unbelievable. "But we checked and he has no problems with his passport, identity and bank credit."
"This is the brilliance of Christopher Rockencourt." Tina Fei looked more serious. "It is also the reason why he pursued the daughter of the President of Gabon."
Without asking Nancy to wait, Tina Fei said directly, "The presidential daughter named Lee Dabona Pogle spent a lot of money to help him solve problems such as identity through relationships. If only reasonable means are used to investigate , There is no problem with him at all."
Nancy is also a wise man. Her head gradually turned, and a wry smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. "This presidential daughter should have been carefully selected by him? After she returned to Africa, it would be impossible for her to affect North America, who in North America? Are you going to go to a small country in Africa?"
"So careful thinking..." By now, she had to admire, "What a clever method."
Such a person has been working hard in Hollywood for ten years and has not been exposed, and he has also strayed to a position closer to the upper level in the circle. If it is not for fooling himself, Duke really wants to describe him as a legend.
Reality is sometimes more magical than movies.
Combining the information provided by former FBI senior employee Edward Newgate, Duke thinks about the ins and outs of contact with Christopher Rockencourt, and it is not difficult to conclude that the other party is going to play the last big game and then run away. He is a financial idiot, but he knows very well that all Ponzi schemes will eventually collapse due to the breaking of the capital chain. Christopher Rockencourt should not be able to continue.
"Duke..." Nancy said again at this moment, "What should we do?"
How to do? If the other party didn't lie to him, Duke didn't bother to pay attention to him. Many Hollywood celebrities would be squandered even if the money in the hands of Hollywood celebrities was not cheated. For friendship, there is no need to remind those people like the Virgin Mary.
The problem is that Christopher Rockencourt has involved him.
"We ended our negotiations with Christopher Rockencourt..." Nancy Josephson asked tentatively, "Then report to the Los Angeles County Police Department?"
"No..." Duke shook his head.
In fact, when he was looking for someone to contact Anthony Pellicano and Edward Newgate, he had already figured out what to do if Christopher Rockencourt was a liar!
"Tina, Nancy..." Duke warned them, "Before the time comes, this matter must be confined to the three of us. After we walk out of the study, it will be treated as if it hadn't happened."
As an assistant for many years, Tina Fei could roughly guess what Duke was thinking, and said nothing, just nodded.
Nancy Josephson didn't understand Duke's intentions at all and couldn't help asking, "Don't we give up contact with Christopher Rockencourt?"
"Don't give up!" Duke did not hesitate. "Nancy, you will continue to negotiate with Christopher Rockencourt as today's never happened. Be careful not to reach any written agreement with him."
"I understand." Unless Nancy is stupid, she will initial an agreement with a liar.
"It's up to you this time." Duke joked. "Take out your Oscar-level acting."
Nancy rolled her eyes slightly and asked curiously, "Duke, what is your purpose?"
Duke did not answer directly. Instead, he gave out a bunch of data on the information, "According to the information found by Anthony Pelicano, Christopher Rockencourt has raised nearly US$35 million in funds, including Actors, directors and other participating investors have exceeded 30 people, and many of them retired old men have invested their pensions..."
He knew who the old men Nancy could understand.
"Do you want more people in the game?" Nancy already understood what Duke meant.
"Yes, I want more people to become the victims of Christopher Rockencourt..." Duke said solemnly, "We launch at the right time, and then let these influential people in the circle owe us A favor!"
This is indeed a business society where interests are paramount, but the favors within the rules can also play a role.
Duke never thought he should get everything Peter Jackson had obtained for granted, and he was also preparing for the end of the trilogy.
Nancy thought for a while, then asked, "Aren't you afraid that he will run away early?"
"People's greed is always infinite." Duke pointed to his heart, "I always want more here."
The former fbi who accepted his employment has been staring at Christopher Rockencourt.
Duke continued, "Nancy, it depends on your acting skills."
Nancy curled her lips and joked, "After this, you must award me the Oscar statuette." (To be continued...)
