Chapter 642: Siege Wei to save Zhao
Nearly $2.6 billion was invested in the new energy vehicle track at one time, and the remaining $3 billion of the $10 billion foreign investment bank credit was finally used up.
The remaining more than 300 million US dollars were not idle, and Zhang Yida arranged to start shorting two companies, Noah Fortune in the US stock market and Chengxing International in Hong Kong stock.
Ding Siyao didn't ask specifically, because this was something that Zhang Yida had already explained.
For Zhang Yida, although he can't make a lot of money by shorting, he is a mosquito leg now, but who would be afraid of having a lot of money
In a few months, everything he faces will be basically unknown, and it will still be a big test for him.
Whether his investment myth will be punctured, he is not worried about this.
has climbed to this point, bringing together top talents from all walks of life, and someone to help analyze the development prospects of the industry and investigate the specific situation of the target.
If this is the case, the investment will not make any money, and then it will be time to hit the street.
It's just that compared with the previous "100 shots and 100 hits", there may be some small mistakes.
Compared with investing in side business, he is more concerned about Ruixiang this giant ship.
Up to now, Ruixiang is stronger and more threatening than any small giant in the previous life because of the integration of many industries such as Pindodo, Kuaishou, Station B, Xiaohongshu, and PUBG.
Mayer, who had just resigned from Disney and came to the China headquarters, followed Zhang Yida and walked around the Ruixiang Building and Zhongkun Plaza, which was preparing to be transformed into one of the headquarters.
Zhongkun Plaza was the last newly built and largest urban complex project in the third ring road of Beijing, and it was the only large-scale commercial project with a subway at that time.
This huge commercial building with a total construction area of 430,000 square meters and an area of 140,000 square meters has had a bad fate since the start of construction in 04.
Despite the strategic location, due to the early use of the sale-leaseback model, the small owners were scattered and difficult to manage. Zhongkun Square of the Great Bell Temple once had problems such as the withdrawal of owners and disputes among owners, and the operation was not satisfactory.
The boss was listed on the list of dishonest executors at the beginning of this year.
Then, the Haiding government and the Oriental Asset Management Company, which is responsible for restructuring non-performing assets, found Ruixiang and prepared to let Ruixiang be the receiver.
Zhongkun Plaza faces Xizhimen in the south, the Third Ring Road in the north, Zhongguancun in the northwest, the Asian Olympic business district in the northeast, and is surrounded by Jingcheng University, Aoki University, Beihang University, Jiaotong University, Beijing Institute of Technology and other universities.
Considering that the headquarters in Beijing is still under construction and the number of employees is still skyrocketing, it may not be able to accommodate so many people after the headquarters is completed.
So Zhang Yida agreed to buy this commercial building that was difficult to rent at a price of 9 billion yuan, which can be regarded as helping the government solve the problem and by the way, the property is settled.
After the renovation of Zhongkun Plaza is completed, Ruixiang's digital content, e-commerce, and technology business groups will be relocated, and the financial business group will continue to stay in Ruixiang Building.
As for the follow-up adjustment, we will wait for the completion of the newly renovated building at the headquarters.
Mayer looked at the dilapidated commercial buildings that were being built and renovated around them, and asked with some incomprehension: "Boss, why don't you build a huge, high-tech headquarters like Apple and gather all employees together, just like a small city." ”
Zhang Yida has explained many times, and this time he continues to take the trouble to popularize knowledge to gringos: "It is not a good thing for young people to live in the urban-rural area and spend a lot of time commuting"
Mayer looked like he didn't understand, and in the eyes of an American, in terms of a comfortable environment, it must be better than the suburbs.
Ordinary employees can't afford to buy luxury apartments or large flats in the city, and will they be happy if they live in a crowded urban area?
Zhang Yida didn't explain too much, to understand China, you have to settle here, and then carefully explore.
However, Mayer did not have this opportunity, and after staying at the headquarters for half a month, he will take up his post and go to various countries to inspect the offices distributed in the ball.
"Boss, it's back on the shelves in India"
Mayer quickly took on the role and now cares about his work again.
He knew that ICAY had been charged with a trumped-up crime in India some time ago, and then he was abruptly removed from the shelves.
"Just two days back. ”
Zhang Yida's face was uneasy, and Ah San was ruthless this time.
After eight days of delisting, ICAY conservatively estimated that it lost 15 million new users and more than $4 million in direct economic losses.
This also made him more determined to get a vest
Kumar is now in India and has scraped together the $1 million he needs to become a partner.
At present, Kumar is starting to build a team with the help of ICAY India to develop a short video called HEO to record life, which is aimed at China's Kuaishou, and forms a differentiated competition with ICAY.
For these, the directors and major shareholders of Ruixiang are very clear and have no objections.
Anyway, their holdings in Ruixiang have also been transferred to Heo short video in proportion, even if some Ruixiang resources are used, it is not a violation or damage to their interests.
Mayer saw Zhang Yida's unhappy face, so he smiled and persuaded: "Boss, don't be too angry, Facebook is also very difficult in India, don't you keep putting up with it."
Isn't heo short video in development There is such a backup product, even if there is a similar or even more serious situation in the future, we will not be at a loss. ”
Zhang Yida nodded, he didn't hide the matter from Mayer, after all, the latter manages all overseas products, and it is indispensable to deal with HEO, so it is better to make it clear.
Mayer added: "The development of RES is a bit slow, I looked at the data, so far, although the number of users is as high as hundreds of millions, but the scale of paying users can reach 5 million." ”
"yes"
Zhang Yida sighed, "Our current main markets are Southeast Asia and India, followed by Africa and the United States.
Of the 5 million paying subscribers, more than half is available in the U.S. market.
The more economically backward the region, the lower the user payment rate, which can basically only be driven by the "free advertising" model.
We have an agreement with the three major record companies to achieve more than 20 million paying users in 2021. ”
RES is a joint venture between Ruixiang and the three major record companies, and Ruixiang invested 5.5 billion US dollars, accounting for 55 shares;
The three major records invested $300 million plus $1.5 billion to license the music rights for three years, accounting for 45 shares.
But competitors such as Breaking the Sky, Apple Music, Amazon Music, and YouTube Music are not small companies, they were established earlier than Res, and there is also a strong parent company standing behind them.
Res has done his best to achieve the current results.
It's not that good, but it's not that bad.
If 100 million registered users come from the European and American markets, the payment rate will be much higher.
However, the European and American markets are currently in a mess, and RES is struggling to fight, and the key business development direction can only be placed in developing countries for the time being.
Zhang Yida is ready to gain a firm foothold in Africa, India, and Southeast Asia, and then shift his focus to the European and American markets.
When Zhang Yida told Mayer all these ideas, he was opposed by the latter.
"No, boss"
Mayer looked at Zhang Yida seriously and said: "Now developing countries are not a blue ocean, and several of their companies have also squeezed in.
After we gain a firm foothold in these developing countries and establish advantages, the European and American markets have been overwhelmed.
We should confront them and burn the flames of war into their backyards.
One user in Europe and the United States is worth 10 users in developing countries.
Even if we haven't fought, as long as we force a few of them to come back to help, we can also reduce the pressure on us in emerging markets. ”
Zhang Yida is happy, isn't this Wei Wei to save Zhao, and foreigners also know thirty-six strategies
