Chapter 109: Returning Home
Of course, Zhou You knew what Ho Jing meant, and he didn't mind letting Temasek take advantage of him when the overall situation was stable, but he didn't want the butterfly effect to affect his fortune plan when he was not in the game. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
Therefore, he did not mention investing in Apple stocks at all, because if Temasek also invested in Apple stocks, it would make the cost of investing in Zhou You a lot higher when he wanted to.
"I went back to the mainland some time ago and negotiated with a film and television company to invest in them. I've made a lot of money fast, so I want to invest more in value-preserving investments in the next step, such as cinemas, and the science and technology island plan that I am now talking to the government. ”
Ho Jing was not interested when she heard this, because the investment in film and television companies will not be too large, the investment in movie theaters is a long-term behavior, and the technology island plan was originally a piece of the pie that Temasek gave to Zhou You, hoping to make Zhou You's relationship with Singapore closer.
She turned around and chatted with Yan Fangqing again, the two women teased Long Long, and the relationship seemed very intimate.
The young master asked: "The next step is that you should continue to salvage the Royal Merchant, what did you talk to the British side, should you hand over the 10% of the proceeds from the cultural relics, or wait for the cash to be handed over after the auction?" ”
"Tens of millions of dollars are insignificant to a government, and cultural relics are not as useful to them as cultural relics."
The young head nodded and said: "Mediacorp has been lobbying me, I hope you are closer to the local media, and they may participate in the salvage of the Royal Merchant with you this time, I hope you can think about it carefully." ”
Although it was for Zhou You to think about it, from his mouth, Zhou You had very little room to refuse. Zhou You didn't want this incident to affect his relationship with the young master. In addition, he has now tasted the benefits of working with the media, and he does not want to refuse at all.
"It's just a small thing, I'm going to leave for Spain the day after tomorrow, you can ask them to contact the company's external relations department directly and arrange the trip."
The young head was obviously very satisfied with Zhou You's well-behavedness, and he said with a smile: "Having a good relationship with the local media has self-evident benefits for your personal image establishment, and I can also help you contact it in the future, so that you can get a part of the shares from it, so that you can also have your own mouthpiece." ”
In Volando Sr.'s advice, the media is a very important part of the career map after traveling. However, due to the lack of funds for Zhou You, the investment plan in this area has not been implemented.
Mediacorp is Singapore's largest integrated media outlet, and its controlling shareholder is Temasek, which owns more than 80% of the shares, while the other 20% is controlled by several major families in Singapore, but has no management rights.
Mediacorp has radio and television stations in four languages, and broadcasts more than 12 TV programs and more than 20 radio programs throughout Southeast Asia, and has a very strong influence in Malaysia, Indonesia, including Southeast Asia.
In addition, Mediacorp has also invested in a number of foreign radio and television stations, and it can be said that there is no media in Southeast Asia that can compare with them.
Therefore, this proposal of the young master made Zhou You very happy, and immediately expressed his gratitude to the young master for his kindness. But he also knew that Mediacorp would not give him too many shares, and according to convention, it would be a lot to give him two to three percent.
After another two or three years, Mediacorp integrated all the local print media in Singapore, took several newspapers and magazines under its umbrella, and controlled the local news websites, almost monopolizing all the media, and truly became a giant in Southeast Asia.
For such a giant that has been transformed from a state agency to a commercial organization, it really gives him a lot of face to make Zhou You a shareholder, and Zhou You can't ask for more.
Yan Fangqing is about to graduate from school this summer, and in fact, she has already started her internship in the company. When she officially graduated, Zhou You was ready to reorganize her company.
Next to the base, Zhou You is negotiating with the navy to buy another piece of land and form his own group headquarters. At that time, he will put most of the industry into the management of the head office, and let Yan Fangqing serve as the general manager.
Although her ability has not yet been revealed, Zhou You has her own helm, and Zhou You believes that even if she is a fool, she can sit in this position safely.
At present, the only hesitation of Zhou You is how to divide the industrial structure between several women, so that there is no conflict of interests between them.
This also needs to be determined from the beginning, because Zhou You doesn't want his descendants to fight over the family property at that time, so it is better to directly demarcate the boundaries from the beginning.
Paris is the best to do, because Zhou You and her children will definitely inherit the Hilton Group, and the fashion company named after Paris is now developing smoothly, and the industry will not be small in the future.
The point is Gràcia's side, she is the most capable of the three women, but she has not many resources now. This is not because of the eccentricity of the tour, but because of the industrial structure of the tour.
She is pregnant now, and her child is also Zhou You's child, so Zhou You doesn't want her child to feel biased in the future, and she must give Gracia a little bit of resources.
Yan Fangqing had the best arrangement here, because she would have a share of the main industries here, and it was impossible for her to be dissatisfied. The point is that if Zhou Yu divides too many industries for Gracia, it will definitely cause her dissatisfaction.
Will it be like Barron in the future, draw a part of the industry and set up a family fund? Traveling around hasn't been thought about yet. However, he is still young, and all the industries have not entered a stable period, so Zhou You decided to plan this matter in a few years.
Since there is such a decision, then here in the company's headquarters, there must not be too many industries to be placed at the beginning, otherwise if you want to divide it out at that time, Yan Fangqing will definitely have opinions here.
Think about it, your three women are so troublesome, and you will not provoke women in the future!
For Zhou You who wants to buy another piece of land, the young head is of course strongly supportive. The relocation of the naval base is now planned by the government, and the reuse of Blarney Island is still being discussed, but it does not prevent him from reserving a piece of land next to the traveling base.
On April 7, a filming team from Zhou You and Mediacorp left Singapore by plane. After a short stay in Spain, he took a film crew under Orti's team, and together with the British observation team, got on the Ranger and began to sail in the direction of England again.
This salvage, with the presence of the observation team, it must not be violently dismantled and destructively salvaged like last time.
However, since 60 or 70 percent of the silver coins had been salvaged during the last salvage, only a small part is now left, so there is no further process of dismantling.
This time, it is only necessary to salvage the remaining silver coins according to the plan last time.
The Ranger returned to the area, and the British observer team determined that the Royal Merchant was indeed 20 nautical miles off the British coastline and was not part of the exclusive economic zone, so the legitimacy of the contract was recognized, and the salvage work continued.
Although only 30 percent of the silver coins remained, due to the increase in search work, it took half a month to salvage the entire coin.
Not only did the Ranger salvage all the silver coins and artifacts, but it also salvaged the last remaining part of the Royal Merchant's plank, and finally gave it to the British for free.
This salvage ended successfully, and the follow-up work was carried out again, just like the Victory.
However, this time the assessment was carried out very slowly, mainly because the harvest on the Royal Merchant was much more complicated than that of the Victory.
First there are nearly half a million silver coins, then hundreds of rare gold coins, and more than three thousand artifacts of all kinds.
After half a month of bargaining, the British side finally had to take more than 500 cultural relics, all of which were relatively valuable or historical, and all the rest were left for Zhou You.
Before returning to Singapore, the silver and gold coins, including pictures of the artefacts, had already been sent back to Singapore.
At the headquarters, Lin Wei and Yan Fangqing were busy with all kinds of publicity and promotion, while the Ranger carried the seventeen tons of cultural relics and prepared to return to Singapore with his head held high.
It's been 14 months since the Ranger left Singapore last year as it was preparing to salvage the Mercedes. For more than a year, because it involved commercial cooperation with other countries, it was difficult for military personnel to stay on board for training, so the cooperation agreement between Zhou You and the Navy was not fulfilled last year.
This time back to Singapore, Zhou You has promised the navy that he will let the Ranger be used by the navy for two months. Anyway, he didn't have much business plans during this time, and he had to prepare for auctions, so he didn't need the Ranger.
He also planned to return to Singapore this time, so he went to the shipyard in Singapore to order a destroyer about the size of the Ranger for the Navy to donate to the Navy.
It's not that he doesn't want to donate bigger ships, it's true that the number of people in the Singapore Navy is too small, and if you donate a large warship of tens of thousands of tons, the navy may not be able to find so many crew members to drive.
A warship the size of a Type 052 destroyer like the Ranger needs a full crew of 300 people to give full play to the ship's maximum combat effectiveness, and a large ship of tens of thousands of tons needs four or five hundred people.
But how many people are there in the Singapore Navy? There were only four and a half thousand men in all, and a tenth of the sailors were needed for a single ship. The Singapore Navy has more than 20 large and small ships, and there will be no one to sail them.
This time through the Suez Canal, the Ranger did not encounter any difficulties. In Europe for more than a year, there is almost no one who does not know his ship, everyone knows the difficulty of traveling, and also knows his domineering, if anyone does not come to make things difficult for him with a long eye, it is purely to find death.
However, when the Ranger sailed out of the Suez Canal, there was a real search for death.
