Chapter 236: Busy
DreamWorks Studios, as it is known, was created in the nineties by director Steve Spielberg and two friends.
And now it's only 1974, director Steve Spielberg is now filming "Jaws" for Universal Pictures, and with the full copyright of the movie "Jaws", it was transferred to Han Chudong, which is equivalent to working for Han Chudong.
This is an interesting story that only Han Chudong knows, and no one else around him can understand.
The next morning.
First, we convened a meeting of the executives of the Rainbow Beauty department to discuss the recent results.
Nearly 100 stores, with a combined daily sales of up to $6 million, is certainly a great performance, but the expenses on publicity and operation are also staggering, almost equal to profits.
Han Chudong hopes to keep it up and invest in more markets, and by the way, he listened to the countermeasures on how to deal with the upcoming competitors, and announced that he will start launching mid-range mask products next Monday, enriching the product line and lowering the price of the mask to $30 a box.
Then I found the executives of Mango Toy Company to ask about the sales situation since the beginning of the month, and then focused on the promotion of cartoon characters.
Before accompanying Miss Helena Bergman to visit Stanford, she designed more than a dozen cartoon characters at one time, all of which are quite cute.
The next important thing is how to promote them, so that people know and like them, and temporarily decide to find someone to publish a comic book, like the Marvel world, to create a two-dimensional world where various cartoon characters coexist, and make up some small stories.
Thinking about it instead, isn't this Pokemon?
Suddenly realizing this, Han Chudong began to tell his subordinates the story of a boy named William who subdued the first Doraemon and embarked on the road to becoming a martial arts trainer.
Success captivated everyone.
Of course, it may also be because he is the big boss of the company, and no one dares to say bad......
In the third meeting, he was talking to the new employees of Mason's venture capital department, and there was only one point he wanted to make - all investments must be arranged by themselves.
The new division, which is directly part of the Mason Associates Group and is registered in Bermuda, is solely tasked with extracting idle funds from subsidiaries and investing in financial management in accordance with Han's ideas.
At present, there are two tasks, one is to invest in Intel, and the other is to transfer funds to Mason Private Equity Fund for investment.
Finally reached the stage where you can use funds to invest in other companies, and then with the passage of time, lie down to make money, now the scale of the venture capital department is still small, the total number of employees is only six, but Han Chudong is very optimistic about its future, or is optimistic about his own investment vision.
In addition, I also met with KPMG consultants.
After signing the confidentiality agreement under the supervision of the lawyer, the main content is how to split the shares of Mason United Group, or the shares of its subsidiaries, and disperse them to countries around the world, so as to avoid taxes and avoid being too dazzling.
Han Chudong said that he has a billion US dollars, but he is only one shareholder, in fact, he is more worried that after the further expansion of wealth, the number is too staggering.
In addition, I also want to take advantage of the fact that computers have not been used on a large scale in the official office field, so I want to hide some of my shares overseas, which may be difficult to do later.
Recently, there has been news everywhere about how rich he is, so that Han Chudong does not dare to invest, worrying about making too much money, and diversifying equity cannot hide the existing wealth, but it can avoid exposing too much wealth in front of the public in the future, which is very beneficial to ten or twenty years later.
I don't mean to brag about it, Han Chudong has earned so much money now, even he can't imagine that after the further development of the IC industry and the vigorous rise of the IT industry, what kind of figure can he be worth, this is planning for the future, and hiding wealth as soon as possible.
The people of KPMG Management Consulting gave a feasible solution, saying that it was to sell the equity in the name of a shell company, and then slowly deposit the funds for the purchase of the equity into the accounts of Mason Associates Group or those subsidiaries, creating the illusion that the equity was bought by others.
As long as the shell company does not show its feet, opens its offices and operates its business normally, it will be difficult for others to find out.
Han Chudong didn't give a reply, saying that he would contact him after thinking about it, and personally sent the two people from the management consulting company to the elevator entrance, and presented the bearer check, which was the price of keeping the other party confidential.
The front foot sent the two away, and then ushered in new guests, Arthur's assistant found someone to help register a film and television company called DreamWorks according to Han Chudong's requirements, the procedures are a bit cumbersome, it is easier to find someone to act as an agent, and the company account must be handled in person, but it is the bank's door, and Han Chudong does not need to go to the bank himself.
As one of the top VIP clients within Bank of America, this privilege is certainly there.
After a cup of coffee and a break, I watched a Major League Baseball game, the Los Angeles Dodgers vs. the Houston Astros, and the Dodgers narrowly won.
Chinatown is not far from historic Dodger Stadium, and there are only so many interesting TV shows, but Han Chudong doesn't actually hate baseball, but he definitely doesn't like it.
Next to the Beverly Golf Club, which is being planned, there are both tennis courts and basketball courts, and football fields are expected to be available, but there is no plan to design a baseball field, which can already show Han Chudong's attitude towards baseball, but the status of Major League Baseball is much higher than that of the American Professional Basketball League.
If possible, he prefers to buy professional teams in order to promote himself, his company's products, and make others think that he is cool, no different from the average white American.
The idea turned in a circle in his mind, and he put it aside for the time being, after all, the spare money has not reached that point, and it is more important to continue to find opportunities to invest.
According to the plan, after Han Chudong drank coffee, he took a sandwich on the road, inspected the beauty product production factory, and went to the architectural design office to discuss the facilities inside the villa with the designer.
For example, if you want to add a sauna next to the gym and change the bathtub to a super large model of at least ten square meters, you can do it as you like, and the idea is very Chinese.
I looked at the houses of some well-known and wealthy people, picked the gardens and fountains of the Dupont family, the main architectural style of the Rothschilds, and even the luxurious interiors of the Palace of Versailles.
A group of designers gathered around him almost vomited blood en masse.
The supervisor squeezed out a smile and said, "According to your thoughts, even 100 million dollars may not be enough, and the construction period will be greatly extended......"
