Chapter 15 TVB
"James, we're no longer a speculative company, we're no longer speculatives, we're going to be venture capitalists and entrepreneurs.
Our first pot of gold is complete, and we need to change our direction. Emerging Internet companies and high-tech companies will become our main business.
Man, at a certain stage, our minds have to change, the financial market is too stormy, the water is too deep, if we just follow the crocodile and pick up some soup to drink, it's not our life.
Our lives are about finding our right place in new areas.
At this time, the investment of Heung Kong and Huaxia will become a lever for us to enter their markets, and even a way out of our crisis when we encounter a crisis. β
George stood up and walked over to the coffee machine, made two cups of coffee himself, handed them to James and Carlos, returned to his seat, lit a cigarette, took a deep puff, and stopped talking, waiting for the two to digest their words.
For a moment, the office fell silent, except for the sound of breathing.
"Okay George, you convinced me. β
Just as George was back on his stomach in front of the computer to watch the Nikkei today's change, James finally spoke.
"Well, how much money does Carlos have to recover after all his short positions in Paris and Frankfurt are sold today?"
Hearing James's words, George's tight string was completely lowered, and then asked Carlos directly without nonsense.
"Paris is 525 million, Frankfurt is very strict because of the problem of German financial regulation, where our income is relatively small, only 320 million US dollars.
James studied with us and felt that it would be an absolute mistake to sell the shorts clean today, and that Frankfurt and Paris will continue to be affected by the Nasdaq in the coming days,,,,,,"
Carlos placed a piece of paper on the desk in front of George, and when George took it, he spoke.
"I know what you want to say, and I know what you mean, in my opinion, even if he continues to fall, our income will not be doubled, and now I am satisfied, don't forget how much our principal is, I am very satisfied with the current income. β
"You're the boss, you decide, I'm just giving my opinion. β
"Well, I'll admit I'm timid,,,,,,γ β
Hearing Carlos's words, George shrugged his shoulders helplessly and said with a look of chagrin.
At this point, all the chips in his hand have been sold, and there is no point in arguing about them.
"Carlos deposited $500 million in his account with HSBC, $300 million in Hang Seng Bank and Standard Chartered Bank, $56 million in my personal account, and the remaining $200 million in Bank of China to open an account with me and I want to transfer them to the north. β
George took out an A4 piece of paper from the printer next to him, thought for a while, wrote the numbers and the bank on it, handed it to Carlos, and explained to James.
"Bank of China, George, if you want to invest in Huaxia, do you want to find a research company to investigate the investment environment there before making a decision?"
This time, it was Carlos who took the lead in proposing a different opinion after George had finished speaking.
"Well, as you say, I need him to look into these companies. β
George regained the paper after Carlos's injury and wrote the names of Vanke, Shen Zhen, and Lujiazui on it.
"Okay, I'll get in touch later. β
"Carlos, I need five percent of TVB stock. β
Looking at Carlos, who stood up and was about to walk out, George quickly spoke.
"TV broadcast?TVB?"
"Yes, it's TVB!"
"George, when did you become interested in TVB? If you like, you can buy it directly, I think you have no problem with the financial acquisition now. β
Seeing Carlos sit back and look at George with some confusion, James asked.
If George was just a simple financial investment waiting for dividends and stock prices to soar, he could have done it himself, instead of reminding Carlos in a special way, which made him a little puzzled.
"This is my gift to Andy, after all, I've only given her a few clothes and bags for so long, he likes to be an actor, why don't I satisfy him?"
George said with an unchanged expression, in fact, he didn't understand why he did this, it was completely a casual thing.
If you like Andy, it's impossible, the two of them just got together because they took what they needed, but in just a few months, Andy didn't pretend in front of it, and didn't directly make all kinds of demands like many women who knew that there was no hope.
Maybe it's also because of this, he unknowingly occupied a small space in George's heart, if it weren't for James asking, he didn't expect this subconscious action to represent so many things.
"Andy? George, you're not going to come, are you? Your mother will agree? Don't forget your father?"
Hearing George's words, James misunderstood that George liked Andy, and he immediately thought of George's mother and George's father.
Qiao Li he had seen, as George's best friend and partner George had invited him to his home as a guest, as for George's father he had not seen, but he knew who it was, after all, there were some things that could not be hidden from George's house, George and their family photo was in his study, and it could be understood with a snack.
Although the United States has always advocated freedom of marriage and love, even if James has no knowledge and faces the newspapers and TV reports all day long, he knows that it is just an ordinary person like her.
It is impossible to have an identity like George, even if he is only an illegitimate child, but the Watt family, a famous family on the West Coast, is a very popular family that many families want to tie up, and more importantly, he already knows that George is listed as the third generation of the family's heir.
Then everything for ordinary people will not happen to her, especially marriage, which must be a good match, and at the very least, a person who will help his career.
A love affair between ordinary people is simply impossible for him?
"You think too much, he has been with me for so long and I haven't given her anything, this time it will be considered compensation. β
George ignored James' look of absolute disbelief and explained.
"I'll tell Carl right away and let him take charge of this matter, but the development of George TVB is quite stable, and some of my retail investors who are big customers in the market hold it as a store of value, and many people may not sell. β
"In this way, Carlos, you contact Standard Chartered Bank and Hang Seng Bank and some investment institutions to inquire, I think they must have some things in their hands to hold TVB shares for a long time as financial investment, and see if they have any ideas for making a move. β
Hearing Carlos' question, George thought for a moment and said to Carlos.
"George, the chairman of TVB is the Shaw Brothers, one of the top ten families in Xiangjiang, didn't you just say that you want to make Xiangjiang your springboard,,,,,,,,,,,?
"Well, it was my mistake, thank you James for keeping me from making a mistake.
I'll ask someone to send me a message later, if I can, I'll visit him in person, this is a legendary old man, and now many film practitioners in Xiangjiang have an inextricable relationship with him, and it's not an exaggeration for these people to say that they are his protΓ©gΓ©s,,,,,,, no, I seem to have missed something, wait a minute, let me think about it. β
