"I know that I will take this part of the responsibility according to the rules of business. Xu Zhi nodded and said.

Disney's current main assets are not only the image rights of various anime characters, the patent rights of countless movies and TV series, but also the two major Disney Animation parks located in the United States.

Disneyland in Anaheim, California, was founded in 1955 and covers an area of 206 hectares.

And Walt Disneyland, which opened in 1971 and is located in Orlando, is even more terrifying, with an area of 124 square kilometers, such a large area, even an ordinary farm, is a huge property.

In addition to the huge daily ticket revenue, these two parks also have shopping malls, hotels, golf courses, resort hotels and so on.

To be precise, Disney is actually a real estate company.

These two parks, although they look like two huge money printing machines, but what is not known is that they are also a huge gold eater, and Disney spent a huge amount of money to build these two parks, such as Walt Disneyland, with a total construction cost of 766 million US dollars.

$766 million in the 60s!

Coupled with the recession in the United States in the 70s, bank interest rates skyrocketed, and such a huge park also needs a staggering annual maintenance expense, so the entire Walt Disneyland has been in a state of loss every year.

This is also why the soon-to-open Disneyland in Japan, the United States is only a licensed brand, and the entire project has invested 2.5 million US dollars, basically without any income from shares.

But this is also the failure of Disney, after the opening of the Japan park, business is booming, but Disney can only charge a pitiful license fee.

Curry thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, Mr. Xu, I can't decide this matter, wait until I return to the headquarters, and then report to the board of directors to make a decision." ”

Xu Zhi shook hands and smiled: "No problem, thank you Mr. Currie!"

......

......

......

......

With a multibillion-dollar deal involved, Currie was naturally reluctant to stay in Los Angeles and waste time, and after saying goodbye to Xu Zhi, he returned directly to New York to report the matter to the Goldman Sachs board of directors.

Goldman Sachs naturally took this very seriously, arranged several groups of overt and covert inspectors to observe Best Buy, and carefully considered this new retail model, and finally, a week later, the board of directors agreed to the plan.

The reason is simple, although the first batch of funds is as high as $1 billion, it is not a one-time payment, but a first allocation of $200 million for the construction of the first batch of chain stores, and Goldman Sachs will also decide on the follow-up loan plan according to the operating conditions of these chain stores.

Anyway, it's only 200 million US dollars, and even if it loses all, Goldman Sachs won't worry that Xu Zhi won't be able to pay back the money.

As for Disney's acquisition, Goldman Sachs is even more excited, once such a large-scale merger and acquisition is really completed, the profit will be in the unit of 100 million US dollars, but there are too many troubles involved, and it must be solved step by step.

After getting the results he wanted, Xu Zhi left the United States, and his main purpose this time was for Best Buy's follow-up expansion plan, which is related to his important layout in the entire electronics industry in the future.

The acquisition of Disney is the most important step in the field of culture, once it is really successful, he is sure that Disney will be more successful than later generations, but after all, this is one of the most famous cultural companies in the United States, is the pride of the Americans, he a Chinese want to acquire alone must be very difficult, at this time, it must be done by the large financial institutions in the United States, to get rid of all political obstacles, they only need to pay an invisible handling fee, compared to the profit that can be obtained from the real successful acquisition, this cost is nothing。

The original plan was to go back to Xiangjiang directly, but he received an unexpected invitation, so the plane made a detour and went to South Korea.

......

In the 80s, although South Korea had not yet entered the developed world, its per capita GDP income was already seven times that of the mainland at that time, reaching one-fifth of the level of Japan.

However, this does not mean that the standard of living of ordinary people in South Korea will be very high.

Since the 50s, the Korean government has decided to fully support several large companies in order to develop its economy, with the intention of using these enterprises as the main body to drive the national economic development and compete internationally with large overseas companies.

Several top companies, obtained huge low-interest loans and policy preferences from the government, in 20 years, have developed into an existence that can compete with overseas giants, but capital will not be satisfied, at the same time of development, these companies have gradually become a monopoly on the major industries in South Korea super consortium, the entire social class began to be fixed, latecomers, almost no longer have the opportunity to rise, all the people, become a flag under the consortium, exert their own residual heat, contribute to the development of the consortium.

In the 60s, the South Korean government even ordered that people should not be allowed to buy non-essential overseas goods, in order to ensure the development of Korean companies and their own foreign exchange reserves.

But then it was complained by other countries and canceled this provision, but the strategy has not changed, the method is to change from hard to soft, using the "patriotic" way to kidnap the domestic people, buying domestically produced products is patriotic, on the contrary, it is a traitor, this kind of public opinion forces ordinary people in South Korea to buy their own inferior products at a high price, which is also the fundamental reason why many Korean consortia can suck blood and grow.

As a result, many Koreans refer to the people of the 50s and 70s as the "sacrificial generation"

And the major consortia that monopolize South Korea, Samsung is the most famous!

In the 21st century, Samsung Electronics' name is almost universally known, but in reality, the electronics business is only one of Samsung's largest subsidiaries.

Samsung Life Insurance, a subsidiary of Samsung Group, almost monopolizes the entire insurance business in South Korea, and in terms of scale, it is enough to enter the world's top 500. Samsung C&T is the largest owner in South Korea, which is equivalent to Hongkong Land's status in Xiangjiang.

In addition, the Samsung Group also includes machinery, chemicals, finance, hotels, hospitals, and so on......

In a word, no one in South Korea can do without Samsung, and the ruler of Samsung is even called the economic president of South Korea, while the head of other consortia is the minister of economic cabinet.

The one who invited Xu Zhi to South Korea was the current chairman of Samsung, Bing Zhe, the founder of the Samsung Group.

Although in later generations, when everyone mentions Samsung, they all think of its second-generation head Lee Kun-hee, but compared with the rich second generation, who can start from scratch during the war and develop the company into the country's first rich generation, it is a more admirable figure.

As early as World War II, Li Bingzhe founded Samsung and entered the brewing industry, and later, because of the war, the company fell into a crisis.

At the end of World War II in '45, Lee Byung-cheol continued to engage in brewing and at the same time entered the sugar industry, and with the huge military supplies of the Korean War, Samsung's assets increased 20 times.

After the end of the war, Lee Byung-chul saw the demand for South Korean agriculture and entered the fertilizer industry, from which he made huge profits.

Subsequently, Samsung was selected by the South Korean government to become a key target of support. Under the dual role of policy and capital, Samsung has entered all walks of life in South Korea, and has gradually developed into the largest super consortium in the country, known as the great white shark in the Korean industry.

If it is an ordinary entrepreneur, the company has developed into the first in the country, and his own decisions can influence the policy of the entire country, and this status is enough to satisfy most people.

But Li Bingzhe is completely different, he is not satisfied, especially in the field of electronics, in the early 70s, Samsung was just a cheap OEM of Japan's Sanyo, Panasonic, Sony and other companies, and even color TVs could not be built.

In order to change this situation, Li Bingzhe proposed to "take the way of developing cutting-edge technology", Samsung Group invested heavily in the development of cutting-edge technology, and later, unscrupulously introduced advanced technology from the United States and Japan, not only in the field of color television, but also in the field of semiconductors to catch the Japanese off guard.

Daegu, South Korea, is home to the headquarters of Samsung Electronics.

The car slowly stopped at the entrance of the building, and at this time, in front of the main entrance, there were already some people waiting for distinguished guests.

"Mr. Xu, welcome to Samsung Electronics. As soon as Xu Zhi got out of the car, the Koreans bowed and shouted in unison.

Among the group, the only one Xu Zhi knew was Li Jianxi, and he walked over with a smile and said, "Mr. Xu, this is my father, Mr. Li Bingzhe." ”
