Hong Kong.

A Rolls-Royce Phantom shuttles through the traffic

In the car, Bao Fan introduced the situation of the target company to Zhang Yida, who was in the same car.

"Digital Domain Group's predecessor was the special effects company Digital Field, and its reputation is second only to Industrial Light & Magic.

The company was first founded in 1993 by "Avatar" director James Cameron and others, and has participated in the production of films such as "Titanic", "Fast and Furious", "The Lord of the Rings", "Transformers" and "The Avengers", and has won many Oscars.

But it is also recognized that the special effects company is a money-losing company, and this company was sold to Michael Bay, the director of "Transformers", in 07.

When it was listed in the United States in 11 years, its market capitalization reached more than $300 million.

As a result, after a year, the company went bankrupt. ”

At this point, Bao Fan was also embarrassed, "This company is very cool, but it really doesn't make money." ”

Zhang Yida nodded first, and then asked: "Then why did it get into the hands of the Taiwanese and still come to Hong Kong to be listed?"

Bao Fan touched his shiny head, "Then it's a long story."

After the bankruptcy, the company was jointly acquired by Gallop and India's Reliance Media Group for $30.2 million, and 70% and 30% of the shares. ”

"Galloping horses?"

Zhang Yida paused for a moment and reconfirmed: "Is it a company that fails to gamble, and the widow and child still bear a debt of 200 million yuan?"

Bao Fan scratched his head, "Yes, it's that company, and you are just two extremes." ”

"Stop, stop, don't be like this, there will be no company to bet with me in the future. ”

Bao Fan smiled, he didn't think that he was pretending to be forced, the investment circle was really afraid.

I don't know who released this rumor, Zhang Yida has been in business for five years and has successfully won more than a dozen bets, without any defeat.

There is no definite evidence for this rumor, and most people don't believe it.

If the news is true, then Zhang Yida is too rebellious, right?

I'm afraid that I will have to wait for Ruixiang to go public and disclose various data before I can distinguish the authenticity.

Bao Fan is different, he is the person who personally facilitated the gambling between Yuan Ruixiang Group and Zhonghe Group.

And this was carried out under Zhang Yida's hint, he didn't believe that Zhang Yida didn't have one or two tricks.

didn't have a unique job, rashly betting, isn't that the old birthday star eating arsenic?

"Let's continue with Digital Domain!"

Bao Fan continued, "Ma Penteng and CCB Investment signed a VAM agreement, and the balance will be left before the end of 13

If it is not achieved, the founder needs to bear unlimited joint and several liability.

Ma Penteng was dragged down by Digital Domain, and his net profit fell sharply, resulting in an unsuccessful listing.

So only half a year after taking over, Ma Benteng sold Digital Domain to Hong Kong Aoliang Group.

The founder died of illness in 14 years, and CCB Investment demanded 425 million yuan in compensation from orphans and widows for investment plus interest, a total of more than 600 million yuan.

In the end, the court ruled that the orphans and widows should bear a debt of 200 million yuan.

You see, this special effects company is a pit, and it's an incomparably big pit. ”

Zhang Yida smiled, "You're like this, aren't you afraid that I won't buy this company? ”

"This kind of rotten money, I don't care about it. ”

Bao Fan lifted his glasses, looking extremely righteous.

"Next, what happens after Aoliang Group takes over?"

Bao Fan continued, "In 13 years, Aoliang acquired 70% of the shares of Digital Domain held by Xia Ma Penteng at a price of 392 million Hong Kong dollars, or about 50.5 million US dollars at that time.

Che Feng, the actual controller of Aoliang, is also a big man, and according to the backdoor listing of Aoliang by Light Digital Domain, the net profit on the book is as high as 5.8 billion Hong Kong dollars.

Didn't the back Che Feng go in?

In addition, it is rumored in the rivers and lakes that Che Feng, the "son-in-law of a wealthy family", has pitted Ma Galloping in this merger and acquisition.

Listen, the widow of the founder of Ma Pentium also went to Hong Kong to ask Che Feng for debts.

and Ji Xiaobo from Macau also came to get involved, and operated the backdoor with Che Feng.

The current CEO of Digital Domain is Xie An, an 84-year-old Taiwanese who is still in the same university as you.

I heard that in school, I liked to read and play clubs with the children of high-ranking officials and nobles, so I entered the circle.

Xie An initially represented Ji Xiaobo, and later mixed up with Che Feng.

The relationship is very chaotic, anyway, the current professional manager CEO is him, and the relationship behind it is not clear. ”

Zhang Yida frowned, of course he knew about this big case.

Che Feng once served as a supervisor of Anping Insurance, and earned 600 or 700 million yuan through the stock trading of Anping Insurance. Haitong Securities also made billions of dollars.

These two transactions from ten years ago alone have earned more than 10 billion.

The rest, not deep, just know that the background is extraordinary.

"Everything that should go in has gone in, and all kinds of troubles should be cleaned up, right?"

Bao Fan nodded, "Poly, CITIC, and Kingkey all have shareholdings, and they are basically stable at present."

However, the stock has become a penny stock, and the total loss in 15-17 years has reached 1.16 billion Hong Kong dollars.

In the first half of this year, the loss was also 226 million Hong Kong dollars, and the operating income was only 342 million Hong Kong dollars, showing a downward trend year by year. ”

Zhang Yida nodded, it doesn't matter if you lose money, the main thing is that some unstable factors must be removed.

"Hear Nicholas Tse or the chairman of this company's Greater China?"

Bao Fan smiled disdainfully, "Nicholas Tse has a special effects company called PO Chaoting, and the year before last, Digital Domain acquired 85% of the company's shares at a price of 145 million yuan, and Nicholas Tse joined in.

The main thing is that Digital Domain wants to enter the mainland market through this merger.

After Nicholas Tse joined Digital Domain, his first big move was to control Faye Wong's Phantom Music concert that year and conduct a global VR live broadcast.

At present, there are only two parts of Digital Domain, one is movie special effects, and the other is the VR industry.

The VR industry has a certain relationship with movie special effects, and Digital Domain has been actively deploying the VR industry since 15 years.

In 15 years, he became the controlling shareholder of IMV, a virtual reality technology company, for $39 million, in 16 years, he launched Zeus, a 360-degree camera, and in 17 years, he acquired Spraly, a VR video content creation platform.

In March this year, it spent 240 million yuan to invest in the parent company of Pengcheng virtual reality technology manufacturer 3Glasses, accounting for 66.88% of the shares, which is equivalent to indirectly controlling the wearable VR headset manufacturer, indirectly holding 40.72% of the shares.

At present, it has successfully launched a one-stop solution integrating VR camera, VR live broadcast, VR film and television content production, and VR content distribution.

The layout on VR is very comprehensive, and if Ruixiang wants to lay out on content production, it has a certain business relationship with you. ”

Zhang Yida nodded, "5G is about to explode soon, and the VR industry will definitely be able to make a difference."

But this company seems to be missing a VR game, and it's not particularly comprehensive. ”

Bao Fan said with a smile, "After all, I started with special effects, and I pay more attention to the linkage with the film and television business." ”

Zhang Yida smiled and nodded, Lan Lan had found a good target.
