Chapter 27 Industrial Layout

After the copyright of the Rubik's Cube was in hand, Li Ping'an began to pay attention to Hasbro. Although Hasbro was founded relatively early, it has not yet become a top-level toy company at this time, and now the leader of the largest toy company in the United States belongs to Mattel, which is unique because of a Barbie doll. The reason why Li Ping'an did not set his sights on Mattel is that Mattel is huge and difficult to be completely controlled, and on the other hand, the general direction of his industrial layout is somewhat in conflict with Mattel's philosophy, and Li Ping'an's ultimate goal is to build a huge entertainment empire.

On July 15, Li Ping'an came to New York again, he first came to Bantam Books Company, and handed over the manuscripts of the four books "Star Wars 2: Attack of the Clones", "Star Wars 3: Revenge of the Sith", "Star Wars 4: A New Hope" and "The Silence of the Lambs" to the company manager. Although Li Ping'an has always been very low-key, looking at Europe and the United States, there is really no writer who dares to say that he has more fans than Li Ping'an.

Immediately after Li Ping'an came to California, he began to meet with the shareholders who still held Disney shares, especially several elders of the Disney family, under the influence of Li Ping'an's subtle spiritual power, these people transferred the remaining Disney shares in their hands at a price 50% higher than the market value. After completely turning Disney into private ownership, Li Ping'an transferred Shirley Lansing from Dream Square to serve as the general manager of Disney, which also made Shirley Lansing the most powerful woman in Hollywood in an instant. The reason why Li Ping'an did not look for those top Hollywood managers in the future, such as Michael Eisner, who made Disney into a world-class media group in the original time and space, is that Li Ping'an does not need a strong subordinate, and two thousand years ago, Li Ping'an, the most suitable manager for Disney, thought that it was necessary for Shirley Lansing.

After arranging Disney's affairs, Li Ping'an met with Stan Brown, the soul of the Marvel comics, who was still called Marvel Comics at this time. Li, at this time, Stanley was already the publisher and chairman of the comic company, Li Ping'an used a little means and the two sides reached a consensus, and then Li Ping'an began to meet with the shareholders of Marvel Comics in turn, and finally spent 100 million US dollars to acquire Marvel Comics, the reason why the price is so high, it also includes the film and television adaptation rights of more than 200 comic book characters such as Captain America, Spider-Man, X-Men and Wolverine that have just appeared that Li Ping'an bought in his personal name. Before leaving the comic company, Stan Lee specially signed a five-percent profit sharing clause for the entire industry of comic characters he wrote, and this time Li Ping'an will not let history repeat itself, but Stan Lee did not lose money, and most of the fees for buying out the copyright of comic characters went into his pocket, and he became a multimillionaire overnight.

After a series of operations, he bought the New York Knicks, and the current American professional basketball team is far from having the influence of later generations, that is, the Knicks are located in New York, so Li Ping'an spent more than 20 million US dollars in order to buy this basketball team. At the same time, Li Ping'an called Fang Menghua, who had just arrived in Los Angeles, to ask his mother to buy the Los Angeles Lakers.

Fang Menghua came to the United States this time mainly to receive some inquiries from the FBI, accompanied by Barbara. Although Li Ping'an and Fang Menghua's behavior injected a trace of vitality into the depressed economy of the United States, the capital predators who really had influence in the United States were very afraid that Li Ping'an would touch their interests, and at the same time, they also paid more and more attention to Li Ping'an, that is, Li Ping'an's reputation was too loud, and he had shrunk in Xiangjiang all the year round, which made these mountain carvings in the United States take a roundabout approach and wanted to seize Li Ping'an's handle.

The FBI investigated all the acquisitions of Li Ping'an's mother and son, and found that they spent more than the market price, although many people regretted it after selling their shares, but Li Ping'an and Fang Menghua bought at a high price, and sometimes the price was even doubled, without any cheating and abduction, and finally after asking Fang Menghua a few painless questions, they could only be hastily dismissed.

That is, Li Ping'an has always been in the entertainment and media industry, and the value created by these industries at this time has not made Wall Street too interested, and Li Ping'an can be said to have escaped by using the context of known history.

When Li Ping'an returned to Los Angeles to meet Fang Menghua, his mother Fang Menghua not only spent $45 million to acquire the Los Angeles Lakers, the Los Angeles Kings (ice hockey team) and the Los Angeles Forum Arena (the former home of the Lakers), but also purchased eight garden villas in the Beverly Hills sub-region, in addition to the "Chicago Tribune", "Los Angeles Times", "New York Times", "Al-Ahram" and other more than a dozen influential newspapers were also included in Fang Menghua's pocket.

Fang Menghua deeply remembers what Li Ping'an said to her after withdrawing from the stock market, "If force cannot absolutely protect the wealth in your hands, then you must use the media and public opinion to build a wall, provided that you are a world-class celebrity." Fang Menghua deeply agreed with this sentence.

In a newly purchased garden villa next to Wilcher's Boulevard, the mother and son had a detailed discussion about the next plan.

Fang Menghua stood at the window and looked into the distance, "I can't imagine that our mother and son can actually live in the most luxurious villa in Beverly Hills, but this time our mother and daughter have completely angered your father, and before I came over, he complained about why he was not counted in this stock market action." ”

Li Ping'an had already expected the result this time, but he was also very helpless, "There are too many relatives on Dad's side, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no bastards who eat inside and out, our mother and son can't afford this risk, and there is really no one this time, so I sent Zhao Yazhi and the three of them to London to sit in the town, but fortunately, they did not disappoint me." ”

Fang Menghua glanced at Li Ping'an proudly, "This shows that my son is attractive, after all the things that happened during this period of time, I recognized these three girls, and I also dispelled the idea of letting you marry the daughter of a wealthy family, just ask which other daughter of a wealthy family in Xiangjiang can be worthy of you now." But what are you going to do with your dad?"

Li Ping'an spread his hands, "Dad is not short of money, he just doesn't resent, we have completely surpassed him." During this period of time, we have been targeted by the capital predators in the United States, so the US stock market needs to be dormant for a few years, but Xiangjiang can take my father with him. ”

Fang Menghua looked at his son with a smile, "Your father was still satisfied before, but now you belong to the style of play called Huazi, although I didn't tell you how much Dad earned this time, but he can guess some." ”

"Then I'll go back and talk to my dad in detail!" Li Ping'an now also feels a headache about how to settle Shao Yifu.

Fang Menghua also knew his son's embarrassment, and immediately changed the topic, "I'm going to Europa in two days, I'm going to Europa here, do you have anything else to explain?"

"Mom, you must bring more bodyguards this time, in addition to taking as many shares of the English Broadcasting Corporation as possible, that is, to snap up more Chanel, Gucci and other luxury stocks, and to buy a few wineries in Bordeaux, France and Porto, Portugal to store some famous wines, the money will eventually depreciate in your hands, if possible, buy Manchester United Football Club, the remaining funds are left for 100 million US dollars as working capital, and the rest you look at buying some more real estate in Paris, Madrid, London and other prosperous cities, and the rest will be exchanged for gold。 Li Ping'an gave him the most suitable financial plan.
