Rebirth

"Hello, Barry, I didn't interrupt you to rest."

Farewell to Mr. Zou and his party, Li Feng immediately picked up the phone and called Barry Diller.After all, this involves the expansion of the media group, and it is essential to communicate with the head of the media group.

"BOSS, I just got ready to take a break, what's the matter?" Barry replied with a smile.

Li Feng took a look and roughly calculated that the time in Los Angeles should be around 9pm at this time. This is a good time to call.

"OK, that's the case. I'll make a long story short. I'm ready to start the full expansion of the media group in Asia, but my idea is to use my investment company to acquire it first. You also know that I was due to the expansion of Blackwater. Part of the transfer of shares in real estate companies and media groups resulted in almost losing the controlling rights.

I am considering that after I first acquire other businesses outside of the Americas, I might be able to complete the media group's share reorganization through mergers and acquisitions and shareholding resettlement by both parties, and achieve the goal of absolute control again. What do you think?"

"BOSS, I think it is possible. In fact, since the two major companies joined the board of directors, although there is nothing to be seen for the time being, there are already signs of this. For example, recently, their directors have opposed our previously prepared expansion plan. Fortunately, we still have absolute initiative, but I think this may be their temptation."

"Oh, it's really restless. This is what I expected. You only need to explain the situation to Frank and let him cooperate with me. Also, Barry, you should pay more attention to it in the future, I Allen will be notified and the security company will strengthen security for you.

As for the board of directors, they still can’t get over the storm for the time being, but they have to pay more attention. You must know that it is a major American company like GM, and the shareholders behind GM almost include major American consortia. Now I The Century Group may also become their target."

"Okay, then I would like to thank the BOSS. I will discuss it with Frank a little later." After the two had a deep chat again, they hung up the phone.

...

Next, Bill Weilibe and Li Shanquan came together. This is naturally the focus of Li Feng, so I had a long talk with them. After this period of operation, Li Feng learned that although the financial crisis has not yet occurred It officially broke out, but in fact, the investment company has already made hundreds of millions of dollars in net profit.

Many people may be aware that the 1997 Asian financial crisis broke out on the second day after the return of Hong Kong. The Thai government announced the abandonment of the fixed exchange rate of the Thai baht and the beginning of the floating exchange rate policy. But few people know that it was actually as early as the financial crisis. Before the outbreak, the financial order in Southeast Asia had gone through many wars and completely eroded.

Especially Thailand has become a bridgehead.This is also the reason why Thailand announced its abandonment of the fixed exchange rate system in the first place. The domestic economic and financial order has been eroded, and it has been crushed by hot money from all over the world, led by Soros.

For example, starting in March this year, Thailand’s baht has been attacked by international speculators and hot money. At that time, a run on the Thai baht caused dozens of banks to close down, the baht depreciated by at least half, and the stock market plummeted by 70%. %more than.

Of course, Li Feng's investment company was also one of the capital behind.East West Bank also benefited. It successively acquired several bankrupt banks in Thailand behind it, which is considered to have entered the financial industry in Southeast Asia.

In fact, many of the major banks in Thailand today have become branches of major European and American banks, which means they have been acquired by major European and American bank consortia.It spread from Thailand to Malaysia, Indonesia and other countries, but these countries are not as serious as Thailand.The economic results of decades of development in Southeast Asia have almost been taken away by European and American countries and consortia.

It can be said that the outbreak of the financial crisis is only a matter of time. People with discerning eyes have already seen the actual situation and are now waiting for the fuse.

Li Feng is very clear that when Thailand announced on July 7.2 that the Thai baht had changed its exchange rate system, a crisis here was inevitable.

...

Two days later, Li Shanquan went to Li Feng's hotel room again.

"BOSS, this is the situation and the acquisition agreement on the Golden Harvest side. Today, the value of the Jiahe Port stock market is only 1.2 billion Hong Kong dollars. In fact, today, the Golden Harvest can hardly hold it.

After investigation, we learned that Zou Wenhuai of Jiahe invested in real estate last year and lost several hundred million yuan. Since the 1990s, Jiahe has shot a large number of bad films, almost all of which are loss-making transactions and debt-ridden.

The local market in Hong Kong is still too small, and because of the crudeness of Hong Kong’s films, the treasure island eventually broke up with Hong Kong, and introduced policies such as introducing Hollywood and Japanese films, and developing local films on the island. , So that the market share of Hong Kong films on the island continues to shrink.

Lost the most important box office warehouse on Treasure Island. Although the mainland has begun to open to Hong Kong, there are still various restrictions. Moreover, the box office on the mainland is really limited, which has led to the fact that the overall film market in Hong Kong is really increasing. The worse.

In fact, the current economic situation is not so good. Hong Kong's wealthy and consortia have also begun to tighten their pockets. As a result, Jiahe has also been greatly restricted in finding channels for film investment.

BOSS, if we wait for the acquisition after the financial crisis, Golden Harvest may be the price of cabbage."

"Haha..., I know all of this, but what I value more is the brand of Jiahe and the opportunity to enter the mainland market. In addition to Jiahe, I also want TV stations. There is no need to think about TV stations on the mainland. Think of a solution here in Hong Kong.

...

Oh, hehe..., the market value is only a few hundred million, and the debt has exceeded 300 million Hong Kong dollars. Many projects have been shelved, and they are even preparing to sell those theaters and studios across Asia."Li Feng picked up the file and read it with a smile, and muttered to himself.

"That is to say, we injected 200 million US dollars. Except for repaying Jiahe's debt, the rest is used to develop Jiahe, and we got 51% of the controlling shares." After reading the last column about shares and acquisitions, once again Said with a smile.

"It is true. After all, a premium purchase is required. Now I am waiting for the BOSS to sign it. There is also a condition that in the future, no matter which shareholder of Jiahe wants to sell the shares in his hands, we have the priority.

Another point is that, looking at the current capital market situation, when the crisis breaks out, we will start to acquire a portion of Jiahe's shares in the stock market to expand our shares."

"Well, this is not bad, it can ensure that we can firmly control Jiahe."

For the acquisition of a small company like Jiahe, it is really a small matter for the investment team led by Bill Weilibe and Li Shanquan. Although Jiahe has a big name, it is really small in the capital market.

...

"If this is the case, so be it, but you don't need to disclose the details, you can tell Zou Wenhuai and the others that they have found a new capital channel. Anyway, the shares are in the fund and no one knows it. Let's hide it for now."

"OK...."

In a joke, Li Feng picked up Saint Laurent's golden pen and signed his name very smartly.As the saying goes, one wish to fight one wish to endure, it was easy to fulfill Li Feng's previous wish.
