"Hello, Barry, didn't disturb your rest. ”

After bidding farewell to Mr. Zou and his party, Li Feng immediately picked up the phone and started calling Barry Diller. After all, this involves the expansion of the media group, and it is essential to communicate with the person at the helm of your own media group.

"Boss, I'm just about to rest, what's the matter?" Barry replied with a smile.

Li Feng took a look and roughly calculated, the time in Los Angeles should be more than 9 o'clock in the evening at this time, and it is a good time to call at this time.

"Okay, that's right, I'll cut a long story short, I'm ready to do a full-scale expansion of the media group in Asia as well, but my idea is to use my investment companies to buy first. As you know, I almost lost my controlling stake in a real estate company and a media group because of Blackwater's expansion.

I'm thinking that after I first acquire other businesses outside the Americas, I may be able to complete the share restructuring of the media group through mergers and acquisitions and equity reset, so as to achieve the goal of absolute control again, what do you think?"

"BOSS, I think so, in fact, since the two companies joined the board of directors, although there is nothing to see for the time being, but there are already signs of this, for example, recently there were representatives of their directors who opposed the expansion plan that we had prepared earlier, fortunately, we still have the absolute initiative, but I think it may be just a temptation for them. ”

"Oh, I'm really restless, that's what I expected, you just have to explain the situation to Frank and let him cooperate with me. Also, Barry, you have to pay more attention to yourself in the future, and I will inform Alan and ask the security company to give you more security.

As for the board of directors, for the time being, they can't afford to turn over the storm, but they should pay more attention, you must know that it is a large US imperialist company like General Motors, and the shareholders behind General Motors almost include the major consortia of US imperialism, and now my Century Group may also become the target of others. ”

"Okay, then I'll thank you boss, I'll discuss it with Frank a little later. The two had another deep chat before hanging up.

……

Next, Bill Weilbe and Li Shanquan came together, for this is naturally Li Feng's focus, so he had a long talk with the two, after this period of operation, Li Feng knew that although the financial crisis has not officially broken out, but in fact, the investment company has made a net profit of hundreds of millions of dollars.

Many people may know that the outbreak of the Asian financial crisis in 97 was the day after Hong Kong's return to the motherland, when the Thai government announced that it would abandon the fixed exchange rate of the Thai baht and change to a floating exchange rate policy.

Thailand, in particular, has become a bridgehead. This is also the reason why Thailand announced that it would abandon the fixed exchange rate system in the first place, because it was really a rotten domestic economic and financial order, and it was crushed by global travel funds led by Soros.

For example, since March this year, Thailand's baht has been attacked by international speculators and investors, and there was a run on Thailand at that time, resulting in the collapse of dozens of banks, the depreciation of the Thai baht by at least half, and the stock market plummeting by more than 70%.

Of course, Li Feng's investment company was also one of the capitals behind. East West Bank also benefited, acquiring several bankrupt banks in Thailand behind him, which can be regarded as cutting into the financial industry in Southeast Asia.

In fact, many of Thailand's major banks have become branches of large European and American banks, which means that they have been acquired by a consortium of large European and American banks. It has spread from Thailand to Malaysia, Indonesia and other countries, but these countries are not as serious as Thailand. It can be said that the economic achievements of Southeast Asia's development for decades have been almost deprived by European and American countries and conglomerates.

It can be said that the outbreak of the financial crisis is only a matter of time, and the discerning people have already seen the actual situation, and now they are waiting for the fuse.

Li Feng knew very well that when Thailand announced that the Thai baht would change the exchange rate system on July 2, the crisis here was inevitable.

……

Two days later, Li Shanquan went to Li Feng's hotel room again.

"BOSS, this is the situation on the side of Golden Harvest and the acquisition agreement, now the market value of Golden Harvest Port is only 1.2 billion Hong Kong dollars, and today's Golden Harvest is really untenable.

After an investigation, we learned that Zou Wenhuai of Golden Harvest invested in real estate last year and lost hundreds of millions, and Golden Harvest has shot a large number of bad movies since 90, almost all of which are loss-making transactions and debt-ridden.

Hong Kong's local market is still too small, and the treasure island side can't bear it because of the shoddy production of Hong Kong movies, and finally broke up with Hong Kong, and introduced policies such as introducing Hollywood and Japanese films and developing local films on the treasure island, so that the market share of Hong Kong films in the treasure island continues to shrink.

Having lost the most important box office warehouse of Treasure Island, although the mainland has begun to open up to Hong Kong, there are also various restrictions, and the box office on the mainland is really limited, resulting in the overall film market in Hong Kong is really getting worse and worse.

In fact, the current economic situation is not very good, and the rich and conglomerates in Hong Kong have begun to tighten their pockets, resulting in Golden Harvest being greatly restricted in finding film investment channels.

BOSS, if we wait for the acquisition after the financial crisis, Golden Harvest may be the price of cabbage at that time. ”

"Haha... In addition to Golden Harvest, I also want a TV station, and the TV station in the mainland doesn't have to think about it, just think about it in Hong Kong.

……

Oh, hehe... , the market value is only more than 100 million, the debt is more than 300 million Hong Kong dollars, many projects have been shelved, and they are even preparing to sell those theaters and studios all over Asia. Li Feng picked up the document and flipped through it with a smile, and muttered to himself.

"That is to say, we injected 200 million US dollars, and in addition to repaying Golden Harvest's debts, the rest was used to develop Golden Harvest, and we got a 51% controlling stake. He looked at the last column about shares and acquisitions, and said with a smile again.

"That's true, now we are waiting for you to sign BOSS, and there is a condition, that is, no matter which shareholder of Golden Harvest wants to sell his shares in the future, we have the right of priority.

Another point, looking at the current situation in the capital market, when the crisis breaks out, we will also start to acquire a part of Golden Harvest's shares in the stock market to expand our shares. ”

"Well, that's good, and it can guarantee that you can firmly control Golden Harvest. ”

For the acquisition of a small company like Golden Harvest, it is really a small matter for the investment team led by Bill Weilbei and Li Shanquan, although Golden Harvest is very famous, but in the capital market, it is really small.

……

"Since that's the case, then so be it, but you don't need to announce the details, you can tell Zou Wenhuai and them, just say that they have found a new capital channel, anyway, the shares are in the fund, and no one knows, so hide it for the time being." ”

“OK…。 ”

While laughing, Li Feng picked up the golden pen of Yves Saint Laurent and signed his name very chicly. As the saying goes, one is willing to fight and one is willing to suffer, and it is very easy to fulfill Li Feng's previous wish.
