Chapter 959: Expansion of the Media Industry

……

Sequoia Capital, in the venture capital world it is a true legend!

As a venture capital firm that has been in operation for 40 years, it has weathered technological leaps and economic fluctuations to achieve a density of projects that corresponds to this longevity: in the mainframe era, it discovered the PC pioneer Apple Computer, when the PC was booming, it cultivated network equipment companies 3Com and Cisco, and when computers were widely connected and the Internet age dawned, it invested in Yahoo and Google.

Because it does not disclose its investment performance, it is often quoted that it has invested in more than 500 companies, of which more than 130 have been successfully listed, and more than 100 projects have successfully exited through mergers and acquisitions. The total market capitalization of companies listed as a result of their investments exceeds 10% of the total market value of the NASDAQ.

In the financial world, Sequoia Capital is an unquestionable quality stock!

"Boss, Sequoia Capital is not a public company, and the price to buy it is too high!" Sally Kraucek's tone immediately became serious.

"I know, I didn't let you buy Sequoia Capital as a wholly owned shareholder, I just need Standard Chartered Bank to become the majority shareholder of Sequoia Capital, and make the momentum louder, and it is better to let all shareholders and investment institutions understand our movements!" Liu Dong said.

As the top elite in the financial world, after Liu Dong's words fell, Sally Kraucek guessed his purpose, "The boss wants to sell the shares of Standard Chartered Bank?"

"That's right!" Liu Dong knew that he would definitely not be able to hide it from the other party. simply admitted it generously, of course, the other party misunderstood something, Liu Dong still continued to explain. "I have too many shares in Standard Chartered Bank, which is not reasonable for financial investment, so I want to reduce the shares to 51%, and I will sell all the shares above this standard!"

Liu Dong's words fell, and the other side of the mobile phone was silent for a long time, and just when he was about to lose patience, a sentence came from the microphone. "Boss, you're such an amazing guy!"

Hearing this, Liu Dong naturally understood the meaning of Sally Klauchek's words.

But it's a matter of keeping his net worth secret. Even if the other party was a senior manager he trusted, Liu Dong didn't say much.

"Thank you for the compliment, but I hope that in the coming months you will be able to bring me the good news I want!"

"Of course, if the boss wants to. I can help you get a controlling stake in Sequoia Capital!" says Sally Kraucek.

"If the price isn't too great. I'm looking forward to it!"

Liu Dong doesn't mind the emergence of a high-quality company under his umbrella.

After talking to Sally Kraucek about the acquisition, Liu Dong also put down his mobile phone, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, as long as the next things are operated well, then his net worth will rise exponentially, with the more than 20 billion US dollars, plus the mortgage of more than 200 tons of gold in his hand, then the major events he has been planning in the past few months also have the capital to continue.

"That's a great opportunity!" looked at the thick night outside. Liu Dong said secretly in his heart.

When he came to Hong Kong again, Liu Dong did not immediately go to the Hanhua Bank. He trusts Feng Jianhui very much, and he doesn't need him to explain anything, Feng Jianhui can solve the problem according to his ideas.

So on the second day, Liu Dong came to the headquarters of ATV again, looking at the office building that was obviously old and somewhat cramped, Liu Dong understood that if he wanted to expand ATV's business, the office space in front of him was no longer enough!

Of course, he doesn't need to worry about where to move the ATV headquarters, as the boss Liu Dong only needs to explain, and the rest will naturally be done by Fei Junyi, the president of ATV.

And now, Fei Junyi has no doubts about Liu Dong's explanation at all, he has been completely impressed by the new boss's ability and connections!

Wireless and ATV, plus several major pay TV stations and satellite TV, almost all of them are eager to enter the broader and more promising mainland media market, but despite their efforts for many years, there is no result, but because of Liu Dong's relationship, ATV is in front of the old rival TVB.

This really makes Fei Junyi, an old man who has worked hard for ATV for half his life, feel deeply honored and honored.

"These are the contracts signed between the company and Radio and Television?" Liu Dongyang raised the information in his hand.

According to the agreement, our ATV's TV signal can be broadcast in Guangdong Province, and then it can be shared with Guangdong Cable! Asia Satellite TV can be broadcast in Guangdong, Fujian, and Guizhou provinces, as well as foreign-related hotels with three stars or more across the country, but the content of the program will be subject to the review and ...... of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television!

"Why are there only three provinces?" Liu Dong interrupted the other party's words, even if he didn't know about the TV industry, he also knew the difference between the whole country and the three provinces, as for the foreign-related hotel above the third level, it was just a chicken rib that was 'tasteless to eat, and it was a pity to abandon it'!

"Dong Liu, it's already very good to have three provinces, Phoenix Satellite TV was established earlier than us, and now it can only be broadcast in Guangdong Province!" Fei Junyi said with a wry smile.

Although Hong Kong has returned to the motherland, due to the relationship between one country, two systems, many industries are restricted from entering the mainland, especially the media industry!

Seeing the expression on Fei Junyi's face, Liu Dong also understood that what the other party said was true! And he also knew that it involved the problem of the system, even if he was unwilling to find Zhou Bin again, it would be the same result.

"Three provinces are three provinces, adding up to more than 100 million people, it is better than being trapped in Hong Kong!"

After thinking about it in his heart, Liu Dong said, "What happened to the other two things?"

"The Duan brothers of Rolling Stone Records are not willing to sell the company to us, but they are willing to give 15% of the shares in exchange for our 500 million Hong Kong dollars injection!"

"500 million Hong Kong dollars, it seems that they really treat me as a wronged boss!" Liu Dong snorted coldly.

Although he has developed a strong interest in the media industry, especially film and music, because of the hundreds of millions of dollars in "The Lord of the Rings", it does not mean that he is willing to be blackmailed!

And Liu Dong is not willing to buy a music company that he can't call the shots!

"Since they don't sell, forget it, withdraw all the people involved in the company's negotiations!"

"Yes, Chairman!"

After nodding, Liu Dong continued: "What about the rest of Jiahe?"

Although Liu Dong has only watched Hong Kong movies a few times from TV because of his poor background, he still remembers the box-shaped Golden Harvest movie logo, so when considering expanding into the film industry, the first thing that comes to mind is Golden Harvest, although with the decline of Hong Kong films, Golden Harvest has rarely made its own films, but has turned more to investment, distribution and theaters, but the skinny camel is bigger than the horse, Golden Harvest is the best entry point for Liu Dong to enter the domestic film industry.

At least that's what he thinks, as for the mainland film companies, in the case of two eyes, he naturally chose Hong Kong, at least ATV is also closely connected with the film industry, which can form a linkage effect and achieve the effect of 1+1 greater than 2!

"Mr. Zou agrees to the deal and agrees with our offer, but he wants to meet with you!" Fei Junyi said

"Meet me, why?" Liu Dong said in surprise.

"This?...... I don't know too much!"

Fei Junyi shook his head.

Seeing him like this, Liu Dong thought for a while, and then said, "Did he say what time did he say?"

"No, but he said that as long as the chairman has time, he can call him at any time!"

After nodding thoughtfully, he said, "How are things going for the new office space?"

"I have rented a 33-storey office building in Yau Ma Tei, and with the current broadcast channel, there is enough office space for the company to expand!"

"Well, let's do it for the time being, in two or three years, the company will have its own brand new office space!"

When Liu Dong's words fell, Fei Junyi's face showed a look of surprise, but seeing that Liu Dong didn't say much, he didn't want to ask more. Finally, he reported the recent development of ATV to Liu Dong, and then accompanied him to inspect the company, and Liu Dong left!

Holding the phone number handed over to him by Fei Junyi in his hand, Liu Dong still called after a little thought.

"Hey, that one?" The old man's voice made Liu Dong understand the identity of the other party.

"Is it Mr. Zou Wenhuai?"

"I am, you are...... Liu Dong, Mr. Liu?" there was a hint of surprise in the old man's voice!

Speaking of which, the two are not completely strangers, when Liu Dong and Steve Rune duel at the Lisboa Casino a year ago, Zou Wenhuai was also one of the spectators at that time, and the two sides also said a few words at the banquet after Liu Dong, but they couldn't talk about any friendship.

So when he understood that the other party wanted to see himself first, Liu Dong was also a little surprised!

"I didn't expect Mr. Zou to remember me!" Liu Dong said with a smile.

"Hehe, how could I forget the famous gambling king!" Zou Wenhuai said with a smile.

"The gambling king doesn't dare to be the king, but Mr. Zou wants to see me and doesn't know what's going on?"

"What's the matter? Mr. Liu wants to buy Golden Harvest, shouldn't he talk to me?" Zou Wenhuai asked rhetorically.

Liu Dong frowned, then smiled lightly and said, "But I was a little negligent! If it is convenient for Mr. Zou, I am willing to visit this afternoon!"

"Hehe, welcome, welcome, Mr. Liu can come, I am here to shine!"

"Mr. Zou is polite!"

"Then I'll wait for Mr. Liu's arrival!"

"Good!"

Seeing his father hang up the phone, Zou Chongyan, who was sitting next to him, frowned and said, "Father, do you really want to sell Jiahe to that mainlander?"

Zou Wenhuai frowned, and scolded slightly: "What mainlanders, don't talk about this kind of thing in the future, Hong Kong is not what it used to be now, if you still have this attitude, the Zou family's career will never want to enter the mainland!"

"Yes!" Although he didn't agree with his father's judgment in his heart, Zou Chongyan nodded obediently. (To be continued......)
