Chapter 889: Cathay Pacific and ATV

……

After listening to Zhang Fan's analysis, Liu Dong nodded thoughtfully, "What do you think of if I buy Cathay Pacific?"

After being stunned for a moment, Zhang Fan immediately said: "Cathay Pacific Airways is a star enterprise in the world's aviation industry, dominating Xiangjiang and having a bright future. …… However, Cathay Pacific is an important part of the Swire Group, and I'm afraid they may not be able to sell it!"

"Hehe, it's just because the price is not right, not to mention that there is an opportunity now?"

Liu Dong's words fell, and Zhang Fan's face showed a hint of surprise!

The 9/11 terrorist attacks were fatal to the world's aviation industry, and although more than two months have passed now, and the aviation industry has recovered a lot, the world civil aviation market will not be able to return to its previous state until the United States finishes the war in Afghanistan.

Because when there was no war, the Afghans were already flying planes to hit the Pentagon, and now the two sides are completely torn apart, who knows what crazy Afghans can do even crazier?

After handing over the transfer document of 15.7% of Cathay Pacific's shares to Zhang Fan, Liu Dong said: "You take a look at it first!"

"15.7%, so much?"

Take a look. Zhang Fan suddenly exclaimed. According to this holding. Liu Dong can send someone to join the board of directors of Cathay Pacific!

"That's your second mission. Help me buy Cathay Pacific Airways!" Liu Dong said directly.

Putting away the documents, seeing that the boss's face did not seem to be a fake, Zhang Fan's expression became serious.

"Chairman Liu, I want to know how much money you can provide me to complete this acquisition?"

"$2 billion, I think it should be enough, right?" Liu Dong said with a smile!

"Is it a wholly owned acquisition?"

"Of course, it would be better if it could be acquired wholly by the company, and if it could not be realized, it would be good if it was only a controlling stake!" Liu said.

Liu Dong doesn't have to hold on to the company's shares, unless it's a real core company. Otherwise, Liu Dong would not pursue 100% control!

"I understand!" Zhang Fan nodded excitedly.

Before 9/11, Cathay Pacific's stock price was only worth more than $2 billion, and now if you buy half of its shares and get a controlling stake, $2 billion is enough!

"Also, by the way, help me buy all the remaining shares of Asia TV!"

After finishing speaking, Liu Dong picked up the last document and handed it to Zhang Fan.

Looking at the 65% equity above, Zhang Fan nodded, and he didn't say much about his little boss's helpless possessiveness.

"Chairman Liu, ATV's current business situation is not particularly ideal. If you're planning to enter the TV industry, TVB is a good choice!" Zhang Fan suggested.

"Of course I know that TVB has more influence than ATV. However, Sir Shao has ruled TVB for decades, do you think he will hand over TVB to me as a mainlander? In addition, now that I have 65% of ATV's shares in my hands and have obtained a controlling stake, it is easy to realize the privatization of ATV, and there is no need to go to the thankless acquisition of TVB! Moreover, although ATV is not as good as TVB, relatively speaking, it is also the same. The boat is good to turn around, and the blank paper is easy to paint', take down ATV, it can operate according to my will to the greatest extent, and if you win TVB, Sir Shao's influence for decades is not so easy to eliminate!" Liu Dong analyzed.

"But if we buy ATV, we may have to lose money!"

After listening to Zhang Fan's slightly worried words, Liu Dong smiled, Zhang Fan is indeed a qualified business manager, as a returnee, he has a deep-rooted business idea in his mind is the most fundamental profit-seeking idea in the West, and try his best to reduce losses and ensure profits!

In fact, although many industries seem to suffer losses, they can bring a lot of intangible influence!

And the most special of these industries is the media industry, because he can influence public opinion all the time, guide people's thoughts, and even influence the government's decision-making through his influence!

Therefore, the media industry is also the second only to the financial industry in the regulated industry of all countries in the world!

Even in Western societies, which claim to be the most liberal and fully market economy, the media industry has many restrictions. In the United States, foreigners are not allowed to own both television stations and newspapers. In Australia, foreigners cannot hold more than 25% of the shares of a local radio station or newspaper, let alone in China!

Therefore, if there is an opportunity to control an influential TV station or newspaper, Liu Dong is absolutely unwilling to miss it, even if it loses money, it doesn't matter!

Moreover, Liu Dong does not believe that ATV will lose money forever!

As long as you do anything seriously, there will always be a successful day!

If ATV's manager still can't solve ATV's profit problem after he solves the problem of money, or if ATV still can't get the slightest development, then Liu Dong doesn't mind changing another manager!

What is lacking in this world is always talent, and the most is also talent!

In short, there are many ways to solve problems, and you can't be intimidated by these difficulties before you really understand them!

As soon as Zhang Fan was sent away, Liu Dong's mobile phone had already rang, and seeing that the caller ID showed that it was Chen Lao, Liu Dong knew that his gambling had been spread by Fu Kun and Zhao Lei!

And Liu Dong, who had been mentally prepared for a long time, quickly pressed the answer button!

Not surprisingly, after a surprised inquiry, there was a persuasion, which was nothing more than a big gamble and the like! The concept of the elders is like this, and Liu Dong can only listen to it submissively, who calls him a junior, and the old man is also for his good!

Although Liu Dong occasionally has a bit of a dog temper. But right and wrong, he has always been very clear in his heart!

Mr. Chen's phone call has just ended. Over there, Elder Yan called again. Although the content is different, the meaning is the same!

Just after dealing with the collection association, Liu Dong unexpectedly received a call from Zhou Bin!

"Brother Zhou, aren't you playing abroad, why do you have time to call me?"

"I don't want to call you, but you kid is too good at tossing! In just an hour, there were five or six people who called me to ask for your news, and all of them were not small. Are you kid doing something that lacks morality?" Zhou Bin asked with a smile.

"Okay, don't pretend! If you don't know what I've done, you'll call me at this time?" Liu Dong pouted.

"Hehe, it seems that you kid still understands me...... By the way, I only told you that I forgot to tell you, I will be in Hong Kong at 3 pm tomorrow, and I will be picked up then!"

"You're coming to Hong Kong?" Liu Dong said in surprise.

"Yes, you kid made a lot of $1 billion all at once, and I happened to help you spend it!" Zhou Bin said with a smile.

"Come less! I've paid more than $200 million in taxes! I don't have that much money in my hands now!"

Liu Dong knew that since Zhou Bin came to Hong Kong to find himself, he definitely didn't do it for fun!

"Don't pretend to be poor with me. I don't know you yet!" After a pause, Zhou Bin said again. "Okay, I won't talk nonsense with you, I mainly want to ask you for help this time!"

"Looking for my help?" Liu Dong said in surprise.

Zhou Bin, a matter that the three generations of red can't solve, what can he help with?

"I can't tell you on the phone for a while, but if you have time, pay attention to Jinzhong City in Xishan Province!"

"Jinzhong City, Xishan Province?" Liu Dong frowned, he was sure that he had never had any contact with this place!

"Yes, I'll tell you more when I get to Hong Kong!"

After chatting with Zhou Bin for a few words, Liu Dong hung up the phone!

"Xishan Province, Jinzhong City!"

After twisting his eyebrows and repeating a few words in his mouth, Liu Dong took out his mobile phone again and called Lin Ling!

"Hey, boss!"

The sound that still couldn't be changed made Liu Dong, who didn't know the taste of meat for more than two months, feel an impulse in his heart, but after quickly pressing the fire in his heart, Liu Dong said: "Sister Ling, didn't I tell you? Don't call the boss in the future, just call your name!"

"Okay, Xiaodong, why are you calling me at night? Are you back in Springs?"

The surprise in his tone made Liu Dong sigh in his heart before he said slowly: "No, I'm still in Hong Kong!"

"Oh!"

The disappointed tone made Liu Dong feel a little uncomfortable, and hurriedly said: "I'll go back in a month at most!"

"Okay, I'll wait for you to come back!"

"Hmm!Hey, I almost forgot about business, Sister Ling, you can help me check the information about Jinzhong City, Xishan Province, you need to be more detailed!"

"Jinzhong City, Xishan Province, what do you want the information for, are you going to invest?" Lin Ling said curiously.

"I don't know for the time being, let's take a look first, maybe I will really invest in the end!" Liu Dong said.

The only thing that Zhou Bin can't solve, and he has to help himself may be the problem of money, and when it comes to money, it must be related to investment!

Thinking of this, Liu Dong hurriedly said: "Sister Ling, by the way, you can help me check the recent news in Jinzhong City, especially the official news!"

"I see...... Liu Dong ......?"

"What's wrong?"

Lin Ling's tone was a little strange!

"I ...... Can I go over to you!Don't worry, I've taken care of the company's affairs, and now that all the companies are on the right track, there aren't many things!" Lin Ling hurriedly said.

Although he said that, Liu Dong understood that Lin Ling was thinking about himself!

Speaking of which, he is really unqualified as a boyfriend, whether it is Wang Qiang, or Lin Ling, Yan Qingqing and Ivanka Trump and other women who have been possessed by him, he doesn't have much time to be by their side!

"I hope I can make it up later!"

Thinking of this, Liu Dong agreed, "Okay, then you can deal with the matter at hand, and I'll pick you up when the time comes!"

"Great, then I'll go pack my bags first!"

Then, listening to the blind voice on the phone, Liu Dong couldn't help but smile bitterly, this temperament is also anxious enough, but Lin Ling can come over, Liu Dong is still very happy, at least he doesn't have to keep the empty room alone......!
