Chapter 544: The Dream of a Billionaire (13,000 per day, ask for subscription~)
Naturally, such a wine table can't say anything serious, a few people chatted casually, but to say that the most aggrieved is Chen Le, after experiencing the excitement of seeing the idol at the earliest, he found that he couldn't understand Cantonese at all, so he didn't know what they were talking about.
When the dinner was over, he secretly told Wu Jianye again that he would learn Cantonese in Xiangjiang during this time, and Wu Jianye just smiled at this, so let's talk about it if I can persevere.
In the next few days, when Wu Jianye still did not stop, first Li Chaoren, Li Zhaoji and others also knew about Wu Jianye's arrival, and invited one after another, but Wu Jianye was not easy to refuse.
However, one of the parties was initiated by Wu Jianye, and there were only three people who met, Wu Jianye and Yan Wen, and the last one was Gao Jinbao, the chairman of the Bank of China in Xiangjiang.
The meeting between the three of them was naturally about the acquisition of Standard Chartered Bank, Wu Jianye had already met with Gao Jinbao once because of the matter of Standard Chartered Bank, and this time it was just to discuss specific steps.
However, since the acquisition of Standard Chartered Bank has always been handled by Yan Wen, Wu Jianye will also hand over all the matters of the comprehensive acquisition of Standard Chartered Bank and privatization to Yan Wen.
After the meeting between the three of them, Wu Jianye held a small meeting at home, and there were not many people attending the meeting, only Zhou Tao, Yan Wen, and Zhao Lei!
The three of them can be regarded as Wu Jianye's most basic team in business.
For example, Zhou Tao is now in charge of Yaoguang Group, Yan Wen is in charge of Yiwang Group, and Zhao Lei is purely a soy sauce maker, and only has 10 shares in Yaoguang Group, but it is already billions of assets now.
After a series of restructuring, equity distribution, trading and other behaviors, the equity distribution of Yaoguang Group is now 75 shares held by Shanhai Investment, which was established by Wu Jianye in the Cayman Islands, 15 shares held by Zhou Tao, and 10 shares held by Zhao Lei.
At present, the main companies of Yaoguang Group are Xiangjiang Land, Tunan Technology, Taiwei Electric, Hanshui Beverage, Splendid Garment, Fengge Entertainment, Xiangjiang ATV, Maple Security, and Yaoguang Investment.
Previously, Yaoguang Group's real estate projects in China and Xiangjiang were all merged into Xiangjiang Land after the successful privatization of Hongkong Land.
At the same time, Yaoguang Group has also become the largest unlisted consortium in Xiangjiang, not to mention the overall volume of Yaoguang Group, even a subsidiary of it alone is enough to become one of the largest consortiums in Xiangjiang.
The situation of Yiwang Group is a little complicated, when the Yiwang Group was established, Yanwen chose to withdraw from Yaoguang Group, and now holds 15 shares of Yiwang Group, while Shanhai Investment holds 85 shares.
The main companies under the Yiwang Group are: Yu Zhi Investment, Standard Chartered Bank, Shouhua Insurance, Qingyao Toys, Yumin Tourism, Sanmiao Comics, Dale Construction, Yisu Heavy Industries, and the nine major companies of Heung Kong Shipping, which are negotiating the acquisition with New World!
In fact, at the end of the 87 stock market crash, there were more listed companies under Yiwang Group, but later after Yanwen split, reorganized, sold, delisted and other actions of these listed companies, only the above companies were retained.
However, unlike the companies under Yaoguang Group, all of which are privatized and unlisted companies, Yiwang Group's listed companies now include Standard Chartered Bank, Qingyao Toys, Dale Construction, and Yisu Heavy Industry!
At present, the most important task of Yiwang Group is to completely privatize Standard Chartered Bank, and the biggest enemy it faces is the big class of Standard Chartered Bank, Ryan Henderson.
In fact, this meeting of the four people was also to discuss the future development strategies of the two groups.
"The talent pool will be one of the most important projects for the two groups in the next few years, and the talent pool of the two groups must reach more than 1,000 people in the next five years!" Wu Jianye said.
The development of the two groups is too fast, the talent reserve has always been the short board of the two groups, although now through the headhunting company and open recruitment of a lot of talents, but its own talent reserve is still a big shortcoming, especially after the incident of the cold water drink Qin Ye.
Zhou Tao and Yan Wen also have a deep understanding, and both of them are now overloaded.
After Yanghua Shoe Factory was acquired by Yaoguang Group, the projects in his hands were only invested in the International Trade Building in Yanjing and Dongting, which is not affiliated with Yaoguang Group and Yiwang Group in China.
The main project of Dongting Investment is the Twin Towers in Zhongguancun, Dongting Investment belongs to the domestic investment company, and the equity distribution is Shanhai Investment holding 85 shares, and Zhou Tao, Yan Wen and Zhao Lei each hold 5 shares.
Zhou Tao took the lead in saying: "Yaoguang Group has begun to recruit talents in various universities in Xiangjiang and domestic universities, and now the talent reserve center of Yaoguang Group has 108 reserve talents according to the previous plan, and in May this year, these people will be assigned to various companies to start exercising, and the next batch of candidates will be added in the graduation season!"
Yan Wen replied: "Yiwang Group is similar, but because the business of Yiwang Group is more complicated, especially in the area of financial investment, it has always been the top priority of Yiwang Group, so more jobs will be recruited in major universities around the world!"
One of the most important subsidiaries of Yiwang Group today is Yu Zhi Investment, and Yu Zhi Investment is responsible for the most complex projects, such as Yu Zhi Investment's shares in the four major real estate companies in Xiangjiang and Chinese Real Estate, and RB projects are also in charge of Yu Zhi Investment.
Today, Yu Zhi Investment is the largest investment company in Hong Kong.
Later, Wu Jianye listened to the opinions of the two on the development of each subsidiary, and also gave his own ideas.
For example, Tunan Technology, a subsidiary of Yaoguang Group, is no longer simply the production of mobile phones, computers and other products as its main development direction, but also has to communicate with China and even the entire Southeast Asia in the infrastructure.
After listening to Zhou Tao's description, Wu Jianye gave the opinion that the infrastructure of communication can be done, but at the same time, it is best to form its own industrial closed-loop chain, such as computer screens, CPU processors, semiconductor research and development, etc., mobile phone parts and a series of product research and development.
The research and development of these projects is a great test for the financial status of Tunan Technology, a level of scientific and technological reserves, last year, Tunan Technology's annual profit reached a terrifying 5.7 billion Hong Kong dollars, and Wu Jianye and Zhou Tao agreed at that time The result was to take out the profit of Tunan Technology 70 as the research and development expenses of Tunan Technology.
At this time, Tunan Technology not only has its own scientific research laboratories in Xiangjiang and China, but also has invested in its own scientific research laboratories all over the world, especially in well-known universities.
Among them, the research and development of CPU processors and semiconductors, if it is really launched, will be a huge money-burning action, and there will be no revenue in the short term.
"Isn't our pace a little too fast? All the funds of Tunan Technology are used as scientific research funds, which also has huge cash pressure on us!"
Wu Jianye said: "Don't worry, when the investment in RB is over in the first half of this year, we will be able to return a large amount of funds, and at the same time, there will be a sum of funds in the account next year, when the time comes, you can let Yaoguang Investment, a subsidiary of Yaoguang Group, prepare funds in advance, and you can discuss this matter with Yanwen!"
Next year will naturally be the reunification of East and West Germany, and at the same time, there will be the collapse of the Soviet Union the year after that, this is an opportunity to make quick money, this is the golden finger of the reborn, what Wu Jianye has to do now is to take the money to smash out a seemingly impossible thing, that is, to let the development of Tunan Technology in the field of science and technology, and smash it with money.
As for how the funds will be distributed at that time, it is Zhou Tao's business.
In fact, this year's Xiangjiang stock market can also take the opportunity to make a profit, due to some unspeakable reasons, this year's Xiangjiang stock market will also usher in a huge decline, the degree of decline is second only to the situation at the time of the 87 stock market crash, and Wu Jianye will also let them prepare in advance.
At the same time, Tunan Technology will develop comprehensively in other fields this year, but these are some projects that make quick money, such as the learning machine project that is about to sweep the country, and this investment alone can bring at least billions of yuan in profits to Tunan Technology.
In the nineties, Tunan Technology will cooperate with Taiwei Electric to launch a VCD machine, of course, Wu Jianye will not tell Zhou Tao and others about these things now, and Wu Jianye will not come up with these plans until the technology matures.
The meeting of the four lasted for more than ten hours, and basically set the development plan of Yaoguang Group and Yiwang Group in the next five years.
After the meeting, Yan Wen found Wu Jianye alone.
"Brother, Ma Lucheng proposes to acquire Yulang International!"
Ma Lucheng is the editor-in-chief of Sanmiao Comics, a subsidiary of Yiwang Group, and one of the most well-known comic writers in Xiangjiang.
The two earliest giants in the comic industry in Xiangjiang are Huang Yulang and Shangguan Xiaobao.
And Ma Xiaocheng is Shangguan Xiaobao's apprentice, Shangguan Xiaobao is like Luo Wei in the Xiangjiang film industry, he can find talents, but he can't retain talents, when the 87 stock market crashed, Shangguan Xiaobao's investment failed, and he needed to sell his comic company to make up for the position, when Yiwang Group acquired Shangguan Xiaobao's comic company, and then changed its name to Sanmiao Comics, after the establishment of Sanmiao Comics, Ma Lucheng and Niu Lao were left in the company by Yan Wen.
At the same time, Ma Lucheng became the editor-in-chief of Sanmiao Comics.
As for Niu Lao, he is also a famous cartoonist in Xiangjiang, and everyone is most familiar with his works should be the "Crazy Boy" series.
And Ma Lucheng not only worked under Shangguan Xiaobao, but also worked under Huang Yulang, but later Ma Lucheng was dissatisfied with Huang Yulang's share, so he proposed to resign, but he was cut and almost injured his tendons and couldn't draw.
Although there is no evidence to prove that Huang Yulang did this, Ma Lucheng has been pressing this matter on Huang Yulang's body.
So the two have always been at odds!
"What's going on with Yulang International now?" Wu Jianye asked.
Huang Yulang couldn't hold it anymore. Then Yan Wen began to introduce the situation of Yulang International.
In August 1986, Yulang Institution Co., Ltd. was listed on the stock market, with Huang Yulang owning 75% of the shares, and the rest were all fractional shares issued to the public in accordance with regulations. Huang Yulang claimed to have a net worth of HK$2.4 billion.
At that time, the Wall Street Journal of the United States published an article introducing Huang Yulang, calling him a billionaire prodigy who "drew a rainbow".
Huang was so surprised that he didn't know where he was for a while, and he proclaimed himself "Yulang Emperor" to the employees, and the whole group was the "Yulang Empire", and even the printing house was also crowned as the Imperial Printing Factory.
The Yulang Emperor was enlightened, and all the painters also pulled the tail of his shirt and ascended to heaven. Huang Yulang implements a dividend system in the group, with 20 chief writers, each with an annual income of no less than 2 million Hong Kong dollars.
Of course, the "gift" of the Yulang Emperor will be rewarded, and all the masters have worked hard to make the Yulang Empire to a higher level, and the silver paper is like clouds flying in the sky.
In the year of its listing, Yulang Group published 14 kinds of comic books and periodicals and a weekly magazine called "Yulang TV", all of which led the comic market, with an annual profit of HK$45.7 million.
The English reporter of the South China Morning Post went to the Yulang Group for an interview, and was surprised to see a row of Porsche luxury cars parked in the courtyard, and exclaimed in the article: "This is the proof of the success of the Yulang Group's painting staff." ”
Yulang shares are hot in the stock market, Huang Yulang struck while the iron was hot, and took advantage of the bull market in the following year to issue shares three times, raising more than 4.5 billion Hong Kong dollars.
Emperor Yulang's waist is thicker, and every investment is a big deal. After the listing, he sold HK$13 million to buy the Bumrungrad Industrial Centre in Chai Wan as a factory building for the Imperial Printing Factory.
In February 1987, it spent HK$70 million to buy the 10-storey King's Road News Building from Hu Amaran, chairman of Sing Tao Press Group, as the administrative and production headquarters of Yulang Group.
In March, he spent 77 million Hong Kong dollars to acquire 7% of the shares of Tiantian Newspaper and all the shares of Tiantian Color Printing, and took over the recreational comprehensive newspaper "Tiantian Daily".
In July, he bought "Fresh Weekly" for HK$25.2 million and "Youth" magazine for HK$9.3 million, vowing to be a media king like Hu Amaranth.
Huang Yulang is not afraid of spending money, and the stock market has endless money. Huang Yulang obtained the wisdom of making money from his fellow villager friend Liu Luanxiong, and he only needed to dip the thick pump head into the stock market, and there would be a steady stream of "water" pumped into his pocket. "Rights issue, fundraising, spending, re-allotment, fundraising, spending......" This is the "new pumping machine philosophy" summed up by Huang.
With this set of theories as a foundation, Huang Yulang carried out a larger-scale expansion.
In September 1987, Huang founded the Financial Times and hired Huang Yanglie, the former editor-in-chief of Wen Wei Po as its president and the former editor-in-chief of Caijing Daily, as its editor-in-chief.
In October, he spent HK$70 million to buy Sin Chew Daily, the second largest newspaper of the Hu family in Malaysia.
Huang Yulang was born like a superstar in the media industry, and Huang's dream of being a media king was finally realized. He himself was even more carried away: "Hu Amaranth's newspaper group is under the shadow of her 'old bean', and Hu Wenhu's descendants are no more than Erer, Hong Kong has lost a news building, and Malaysia has lost a newspaper office." Jin Daxia, after decades of dismal operation, it took the newspaper group to be established. It took less than a year for the Yulang Empire to be on their footing. ”
Acquisition is a shortcut to entrepreneurship, just as picking fruit is a recipe for hard work. Huang Yulang, Liu Luanxiong, Luo Xurui and other new generations of Teochew businessmen all hold this concept. However, Wong's acquisition art is inferior to that of his two fellow countrymen.
Liu Luanxiong relied on the acquisition of sniper games to make a profit. Luo Xurui's acquisition of sniper is just as good as his mastery, but he is better at digesting after the acquisition, reorganizing the prey into a cornucopia.
Huang Yulang was so happy, he didn't know that this series of acquisitions would become a burden to him. When the market is unfavorable, it will be full of dangers. The critic said: Huang Yulang is only a primary school student, so how can he compare himself with university talents Liu Luanxiong and Luo Xurui? The newspaper industry is no better than other industries, and it is necessary to be a specialist.
Huang Yulang also thought that the speed of "acquiring Jianye" was too slow, and found that the fastest money in the world was stocks. In 1987, the stock market was bullish, and investors were feverish and faint, dreaming of getting rich overnight. Huang Yulang first stirred up, and when he first tasted the sweetness, he struck hard and bought 34.1 million shares of China Entertainment from Liu Luanxiong's family.
The rights issue raised funds, and then spent 2.6 billion Hong Kong dollars to speculate in the stock market, speculating in stocks and futures indexes.
The market is booming, and the Huang family is buying more optimistic stocks, hoarding them, and waiting for the price to sell.
All large investors are either veterans of stock speculation, or they have hired think tanks as their consultants. Huang Yulang committed the taboo of "don't do it if you're not familiar". At that time, the stock of Yulang Group soared to 42 yuan per share, and Huang's net worth was 1 billion. He pinched his fingers and counted that becoming a billionaire is just around the corner!
Billionaires didn't wait, but they waited for a once-in-a-decade stock market crash
