Compared with the acquisition of HSBC, Standard Chartered Bank is easier to acquire, but despite its relatively small reputation, his advantage is obvious, that is, Standard Chartered Bank's parent company, Standard Chartered Group Limited, is one of the constituent stocks of the London Financial Times 100 Index!

Moreover, this bank is also one of the note-issuing banks in Hong Kong, although HSBC also owns this business, but compared with Standard Chartered Bank, HSBC's note-issuing power seems to be much smaller. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

And Standard Chartered has a leading position among banks in developing countries.

This is something that HSBC can't match.

If Xu Wenhui buys this bank, then, there is no doubt that his influence will directly and completely go beyond Xiangjiang and radiate to the world, which is enough for Li Shoufu to struggle for 30 years!

Standard Chartered's disadvantage is that it is worse than HSBC's business in Europe and the United States, and its business is mainly concentrated in emerging markets such as Asia, the Indian subcontinent, Africa, East and Latin America, and has fewer customers in the UK.

However, neither of these two banks can be touched by Xu Wenhui for the time being.

Xu Wenhui quickly raised his head again, watched the red light turn green, stepped on the accelerator and said: "Give me five years, five years, I will definitely be able to buy one!"

Looking at Xu Wenhui's confident expression, Fanny and Juliet wanted to refute, but they kept the words in their throats.

Yes, Xu Wenhui's idea is crazy.

But can't he really do it?

You know, he earned two or three billion in less than two years, this terrifying speed of making money, who can say that he can't buy HSBC and Standard Chartered?!!

Looking at Xu Wenhui's face, the two French women were dizzy, feeling that his charm at the moment was infinitely magnified.......

After a while, after another street, Fanny had nothing to say, "By the way, what did you say about buying the special effects company?

Compared with the bank, Fanny, who feels very far away from herself, is more related to the special effects company related to the movie.

Xu Wenhui looked indifferent and said with a smile: "Have you seen Star Wars?"

"I've seen it, I've seen it, I went to the cinema twice to watch Star Wars last year. Before Fanny could speak, Juliet behind her was about to jump up with excitement.

Fanny knew a little more than she did, and her ideas were more mature, and she thought for a while: "The special effects of this movie seem to be made by a special effects company called ILM. ”

Xu Wenhui was impressed by her, but he didn't expect her to be really expert.

He nodded and said, "That's right, ILM, as our translator, we named it Industrial Light & Magic, this special effects company is a founder named Lucas, a film special effects production company under Lucasfilm, which has only been established for three years. ”

Of course, Xu Wenhui also learned about the creation time after asking his subordinates to investigate.

At that time, it was rare for Hollywood to even have a special effects "department".

For the filming of Star Wars, founder Lucas pioneered the film special effects industry.

Some of them are engaged in architecture, some are modeling, some are shooting commercials, and some are playing mechanical design. Almost no one has ever worked in film. But there is also a good thing: this energetic group is imbued with a hippie spirit, completely free from the constraints of the system.

In the large warehouse of the early Industrial Light & Magic office, Lucas and his team embark on a world-changing Star Wars journey.

Eventually, the company rewrote film history in the same way that "Star Wars" made the first recorded film in the history of cinema to be shot with an "action-controlled camera" in the same way that Xu Wenhui arrived.

In this film, Lucas invents a number of far-reaching inventions: he invents a mechanism that can easily harmonize live action and post-production footage into harmony. This mechanical device is definitely a milestone in the development of the film industry.

Because of this, it was easy for Xu Wenhui's subordinates to investigate this company.

To be honest, Xu Wenhui is also very annoyed, if he had come to Xiangjiang a year earlier, he would definitely try his best to make money, invest in Star Wars, and it is best to win the copyright, this show has earned hundreds of millions of dollars.

At that time, the most valuable thing in Lucasfilm was the copyright of Industrial Light & Magic and Star Wars, both of which were estimated to be worth a quarter of Lucasfilm at that time.

Lucasfilm's entire sale to Disney looks like $4 billion, and given that DD sold to Pony and Reliance for $30.2 million, it feels like ILM shouldn't be more than $200 million.

"You really have so much money that you have nowhere to spend it? Don't you know that the special effects company is a bottomless pit?" Fanny looked at Xu Wenhui with some anger, as if she hated iron and steel, or she couldn't see him spending money in vain.

Industrial Light & Magic is the most powerful special effects company in ancient times, and there is no such thing as it. He was the first to bring digital characters, morphing techniques, motion capture, human skin mapping, virtual hair, and more into post-production. He cultivated Pixar. IN ADDITION, IT FOSTERED THE DIGITAL FIELD, AND UNEXPECTEDLY GAVE BIRTH TO LARGE COMPANIES SUCH AS PHOTOSHOP. Almost all of Hollywood's biggest productions have ILM employees or former employees involved in the production.

However, this company is currently only one of many special effects companies, and although "Star Wars" has made a lot of money, it has also spent a lot of money, and it is not only Xu Wenhui who has taken a fancy to this company, everyone is not stupid.

The big studios in Hollywood, Los Angeles, also have their eyes on ILM and want to buy them.

But the eight major distributors in the United States are more savvy than the other, they have all calculated, and they feel that the utilization rate of buying is not enough, as we all know, special effects are big money-swallowers, and they can't see the end at all, so they are reluctant to pay this money, and even think that they will lose money. Later, the Disney Company felt that the utilization rate was very high after the purchase, but Disney couldn't come up with so much money, and it never got bought, and it was not bought until the 21st century.......

All in all, for now, ILM can only be regarded as a surprise in the industry at best, not enough to dominate half of Hollywood, and industry insiders generally do not think that special effects companies can make a profit, and even have to keep throwing money into it, it is likely to be a super quagmire and swamp, and you can't get out if you fall into it.

"......" Xu Wenhui smiled and said nothing, as a future person, he naturally knows that the future is the world of special effects and blockbusters, and it is also industrial light and magic, investing in it, as long as it survives the difficulties of the previous few years, it will definitely benefit more in the future, besides, his film and television company needs special effects in the future, rather than outsourcing, spending money in vain, it is not a big deal to raise a special effects company.

Even, Xu Wenhui's animation company needs special effects, and another well-known Pixar animation studio in time and space was actually only the computer animation department of Industrial Light & Magic before it was sold to Jobs!

This is a huge, temporarily unappreciated treasure, so Xu Wenhui will try his best to acquire it no matter what.

"Okay, let's not talk about that, we're out to play today. It's here. Xu Wenhui said, and then a beautiful lateral drift, perfectly parked in front of a discotheque!!
