"J Films?"
Colton thought about it in his mind for a long time but he couldn't remember any movies produced by J Films or any news about it.
Colton looked at the rest of his former classmates and said, "Guys, have you ever heard of J Films? Am I the only uninformed one? How come I don't have any impression of that name."
Her other classmates were confused too.
"I've never heard of it either. There is indeed a J Corporation, though. But isn't that a takeout company?"
"I often watch movies and every time I do, I pay close attention to the movie producers and directors. I can guarantee that in the last five years, there is no movie with a box office of more than 40 million dollars related to J Films or J Corporation!"
"That's right, I think it's possible that the J Corporation is just a small company. Otherwise, it's impossible that I hadn't heard of it."
Once again, Colton interrogated Jordan, "Jordan, since your company has so many big names signed to it, it must have been listed, right? What's the stock code? Is it listed on the New York Stock Exchange?"
Jordan went ahead with it and said, "It's listed but not under J Films. Instead, it's listed under a subsidiary of J Films. The names in the credits of the movies are also the names of my subsidiary companies. It's not surprising that you haven't heard of the J Corporation."
Colton and the rest were speechless. Jordan actually said that the companies that produced those blockbuster films were his subsidiary companies!
This guy was really good at sucking up and bragging!
Colton said in exasperation, "Jordan Steele, drop the act. I bet there's no Ace Corporation at all! If you have what it takes, send me a photo of your company!"
Jordan laughed and said, "There is indeed no company branch in the US because I registered this company overseas and it actually has no entity. There isn't even an office and it's just an active business license. The equity of these domestic film and television subsidiaries that have existing entities are all transferred to J Films.
"So, although J Films only has a business license, I have the ownership and controlling rights of these local film companies."
Everyone was dumbfounded after hearing Jordan's explanation.
One of them, who was also a businessman, whispered to Colton, "Colton, what he mentioned is very likely to be true. Many big bosses do this to avoid incurring taxes."
Colton gritted his teeth. He naturally knew that this situation was common, but he just didn't believe what Jordan said was true!
"He's fooling us. He said all of that just to deceive us!"
Colton was filled with indignation. He could clearly tell that Jordan was lying and that he wasn't the big boss of a film company at all. However, Jordan was way too cunning and no matter how Colton made things hard for him, he would be able to think of a solution to deal with it. He even caught everyone by surprise.
Those female classmates believed it all regardless.
Jordan was born to a family of billionaires after all. He had long gotten used to the rules, including the unspoken ones. If he couldn't even fool an ordinary person, he could forget about the business trial!
Soon, the classmates' reunion ended on a pleasant note, with everyone being awestruck and sucking up to Jordan.
Since Colton had long gotten the tab, Jordan didn't have to. He didn't bring any cash with him anyway.
"Everyone, I'll be heading off now, be careful on your way back."
Lauren held onto Jordan with one hand and waved goodbye to the others with her other hand.
"Bye, Lauren, let's get together and catch up when we have the time in the future."
"Goodbye, Mr. Steele and Lauren."
"Mr. Steele, you have to notify us when your company's next film is out!"
The ten of them were extremely polite and in awe towards Lauren and Jordan.
Jordan asked Salvatore to drive over to pick them up. Salvatore opened the car door and got into the backseat of the car while holding Lauren's hand.
