"You don't understand this? I was thinking that I might as well retire! "Wei Dongling is actually very tired, much more tired than Xiao Ran. In addition to doing a lot of things in the early days www.biquge.info of the company's establishment, Xiao Ran gradually relinquished power to Wei Dongling, and was only responsible for providing strategies and strategies. Especially before the seven flagships were reorganized, Wei Dongling was tired and panicked.

"Do you still want to retire? Let's honestly continue to stay in this position, now that the seven flagships are operating independently according to our expected route, we don't need to intervene specifically! In this way, you will be much more relaxed! Xiao Ran smiled, in other words, there was no Wei Dongling in charge before the reorganization, and the administrative management and other aspects of the phantom must be completely chaotic.

Wei Dongling glanced at this lazy guy, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "It's easy for you to say, do you know how many documents I have to approve and how many decisions I have to make every day?" You see my hair is gray......"

After looking for a long time, there was not half a white hair, Wei Dongling smiled and covered up the past. Xiao Ran shrugged his shoulders, he didn't care, as long as the order of Hong Kong films was established, he didn't care if the phantom went bankrupt and went bankrupt, anyway, he controlled 18% of Microsoft's shares in his own hands, and he was the second largest shareholder, which was definitely enough for him to enjoy for a lifetime.

Wei Dongling, this guy is not simple, don't think that without the Phantom, he will have no assets, the salary and dividends he gets in the Phantom every year add up to hundreds of millions. Over the years, he has invested this money, and he has made more than one billion, and he also controls five percent of Dell's shares, so he is definitely a big rich man.

However, Wei Dongling did not expect that he would be able to become a billionaire with assets of 20 billion yuan in less than ten years. Xiao Ran himself didn't expect that he would be able to gain so much wealth through this knowledge.

It's no exaggeration to say that he doesn't even know how much money he has. It was calculated for him by Shuxiang's "Power" magazine, and the total market value of the seven flagships exceeded 150 billion US dollars, and after very complex calculations, a figure that shocked Xiao Ran was obtained.

Even if you don't count the Phantom Headquarters' absolute control of the other six flagships, the value of Blockbuster and Universal plus Teana alone is as high as $20 billion. If you add the companies other than the six flagships controlled by the Phantom, plus the stocks of Dell and other companies, the market value is as high as more than 50 billion US dollars, which is a well-deserved total flagship.

However, because of more than $35 billion in debt, Xiao Ran's net worth is far less than what appears on the surface. However, if you add the stocks and real estate of Microsoft and other companies that he controls, it is quite impressive, and this year it has risen sharply to the sixth richest person in the world, and he is the richest man in Asia and the richest man in China.

It's just that this is not Xiao Ran's concern, as long as the Phantom's liabilities are not more than 30% of its total assets and it maintains a smooth and large cash reserve, it is safe. At that time, even if the Phantom went bankrupt, it would not be because of the high debt that would cause him to have to use the money to pay off the debt.

The so-called assets are just a numbers game, all in a money-rolling game, and the set in this game is not easy to unravel. Don't believe me? As long as Xiao Ran dares to sell the Phantom equity he controls, it will definitely cause the stock prices of the Phantom's subsidiaries to plummet, and he has surpassed Li Chaoren's prestige and become a legendary figure trusted and respected by Hong Kong people.

can't solve the trick, that Xiao Ran's money will never be touchable, and now in addition to his own private investment, he can only get money from the Phantom's dividends every year, as well as the salary that the chairman of the board of directors of the seven flagship companies can get. However, because the Phantom makes a lot of profits every year, the dividends it can get are still hundreds of millions of dollars.

After resting for a while, Wei Dongling picked a grape and threw it into his mouth, picked up a document next to him and browsed it: "Murdoch and the six major companies, as well as Soros." However, I don't quite understand why you are sure that he will attack Hong Kong's financial system! ”

"He's coming!" Xiao Ran couldn't help but smile: "As I thought before, because of the rapid development of Hong Kong for decades, there are still inevitable crises. To avoid it completely, that is unlikely. So, it's better to choose to detonate it before the return and let the anger of the citizens be transferred to the UK! ”

"Yes, you're always so insidious!" Wei Dongling only thought about it for a moment to understand Xiao Ran's intentions, and sighed with emotion, as if Xiao Ran had done something heinous: "The mainland market is our most important supporting force, so that we can avoid the dissatisfaction of the citizens with China's political axe because of the outbreak of these legacy problems." ”

Xiao Ran smiled, his intentions were more than a little bit. This move can be used as political capital in the negotiation process with China's political axe to fight for greater interests. Presumably, the political axe does not want to fall into the position of being transferred to hatred by the British, which is certainly feasible.

"Speculators always get on the lookout whenever it's profitable, don't they?" Xiao Ran smiled indifferently, Soros is one of his heart problems, there are absolutely very few people in the world who can cause the Asian financial turmoil, and Soros is the most remarkable of them.

The base of Hong Kong films is in Hong Kong, the roots are in the mainland, and the market is in Asia. Therefore, if there is a financial turmoil, it will definitely endanger the development of Hong Kong films. However, Xiao Ran was still thinking about luring Soros to attack, if he could attack the financial systems of other Asian countries, it would definitely be beneficial to the expansion of the Phantom Group.

Of course, the premise is that Xiao Ran must defend Hong Kong, and as for the mainland's financial system, which is not yet linked to the world, the impact will not be great. Anyway, the financial turmoil will come sooner or later, so why not control it yourself in order to grasp a better time for expansion. Don't forget that after the chaos, there are often huge interests, and as long as you can seize the opportunity, you will definitely be able to make money.

Wei Dongling flipped through the information, found the thick stack of materials belonging to Soros, and browsed it before frowning and saying, "This guy is not simple, very not simple." He can use about 50 to 60 billion US dollars, and when the time comes, international speculators and speculators will follow suit, and it is speculated that the funds that those people can make are around 200 billion US dollars, and the company will definitely not have so much money to fight against! ”

Money is exactly what Xiao Ran is worried about. According to the investigation, it is speculated that if Soros launches an attack at that time, then the worst-case scenario is that it may cause 300 billion US dollars to be launched at the same time.

However, Xiao Ran consulted Fang Xiaoqiang, a top expert in this area, and thought that this was unlikely. Obviously, the best effect that Xiao Ran wants is to keep Hong Kong, but also to traumatize the rest of Asia. Hong Kong's financial sector is linked to the international community, and if there is a problem in Asian finance, Hong Kong will certainly be affected.

Therefore, Xiao Ran had no choice but to choose a compromise effect and put his goal on defending Asian finance. Soros's front is elongated, other speculators may not dare to attack, and the world fund is already famous in the world under the general top Asian traders led by Fang Xiaoqiang, if the world fund joins the lineup against Soros, it will definitely make many speculators retreat.

In this way, the worst-case scenario is believed to be only 200 billion US dollars, and if you want to hold it, then Xiao Ran will have to control at least more than 250 billion US dollars. Although Hong Kong's political axe has a lot of US dollar reserves, Xiao Ran does not think that Hong Kong and British political axes will help, and may be able to get some US dollars from mainland political axes when the time comes.

This amount of money is definitely a terrifying figure for the current Phantom. Although the market value of the phantom has exceeded half of this, it is impossible for Xiao Ran and Wei Dongling to take this mortgage to get money. So, you'll have to figure it out for yourself.

In this regard, since Xiao Ran has such considerations, of course, he did not expect such a situation. Therefore, he was by no means unprepared, but smiled mysteriously: "Believe me, after this year, we will probably be able to raise such a sum of money." The electronic technology and network equity we control will definitely soar a lot! ”

Wei Dongling's eyes widened, and he stared at Xiao Ran incomprehensibly, he didn't know why Xiao Ran was so sure. But Xiao Ran has an account in his heart, before the return comes, the three soaring stocks of Dell and Microsoft plus Cisco will bring them at least $80 billion in profits.

Moreover, Phantom Holdings' electronics and technology and network-related companies are not the only ones. Over the next two years, these stocks will rise sharply, but it will be necessary to sell a significant portion of the stake before the dot-com bubble appears.

Xiao Ran didn't want to fight this battle alone, and when the time came, he would have to raise funds from Hong Kong tycoons like Li Ka-shing. He thought that the Phantom would be able to get between $800 and $100 billion, and the rest would be left to the other rich and Chinese politicians.

After pondering for a moment, Xiao Ran roughly came up with an idea, or rather a plan: "Adong, the report shows that if there is an Asian financial crisis, as long as the phantom can prevent it in advance, the company's losses will basically be gone." I was hesitant to do how to keep the financial markets of other Asian countries from affecting Hong Kong. ”

Wei Dongling shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands and said, "For such a question, you still have to ask Ah Qiang, he is a professional." However, I don't think it's a big problem. As you might expect, Hong Kong will need time to settle down and improve its financial and economic system, and the financial turmoil is the best way to test itself. ”

Xiao Ran nodded, he was right. It is not too late to decide which option to adopt. As for Fang Xiaoqiang, he was always sent by Xiao Ran to pay for tea and travel around the world. Xiao Ran even considered using losses to support Fang Xiaoqiang and these masters to rely on in the financial turmoil to accumulate experience, but fortunately, Fang Xiaoqiang was very competitive and earned tens of billions of dollars for the Phantom, but the loss was less than 500 million.

Next, what Xiao Ran and Wei Dongling want to discuss is Murdoch, Wei Dongling was very depressed and opened this guy's information, although he was familiar with these memorizations, but he still opened a complaint: "This guy is not easy to deal with, his surname is somewhat similar to yours, and News Corp. Murdoch controls the vast majority of the equity from beginning to end, which is also very similar to you, the mouse pulls the turtle, there is no place to start!" ”

Murdoch rarely integrates funds, because he is used to the feeling of reading talents, which is really similar to Xiao Ran. However, News Corp needs capital if it needs to expand, and it is difficult to expand by making profits alone, so if it is not willing to finance and sell part of its equity, it can only take out loans.

News Corp.'s subsidiaries are not without financing, such as Phantom's Scholar Media and North America's Charm Pictures, which control a small stake in several News Corp.'s subsidiaries through fairly indirect means. However, it is obviously not easy for the subsidiary to pose too much threat to the headquarters, and it is really difficult for Murdoch to maintain absolute control of the subsidiary.

Under such circumstances, unless there is a big problem with the operation of News Corporation, it is impossible to go bankrupt, let alone be usurped by Xiao Ran. If you hope that News Corp will have problems, it is better to do something for News Corp from the outside.

"In my opinion, the solution is to start with News Corp.'s funds!" Xiao Ran quickly came up with the answer, this is what he has been thinking about for a long time, this time it is to unify his thinking with Wei Dongling and plan the layout: "Murdoch urgently needs to integrate the North American TV network, and the acquisitions in various places are very fierce, the current total market value of News Corp. is 20 billion US dollars, and the liabilities of local subsidiaries are as high as 6 billion, and the head office has 3 billion debts!" ”

Wei Dongling shook his head, he had a lot of opinions about Xiao Ran's thoughts: "Murdoch is an expert, he knows very well that once the debt of a business exceeds fifty percent of the value of the enterprise, it is dangerous, so it is impossible for him to make such a mistake!" ”

Xiao Ran smiled, sat up, poured a glass of water, walked a few steps forward to the railing, turned to stare at Wei Dongling, and said, "You're right, but sometimes it doesn't take fifty percent to be fatal." And, don't ignore the fact that Murdoch's typical Western businessman style is conservative and adventurous. As long as he sees the benefits greater than the crisis, he will definitely choose to take risks. I knew he would choose it, because I would choose it too. ”

"News Corp is now firmly established in Australia, losing in Europe to scholars. In North America, he needs to bring the television network and other media under the Fox umbrella and needs money to grow, just as Universal did. In Asia, News Corp. has no market other than two publications. ”

Xiao Ran's smile gradually became strange, as if there were countless conspiracies in it: "In Europe, News Corp.'s position is gradually solidified, and he doesn't need to pay too much attention." At present, what he needs to stabilize is the North American market, and Fox is the key to the key, as long as he provokes Fox, then according to his current debt, there must be a big problem. ”

Of course, Wei Dongling understands these truths, but Murdoch must also know his difficulties, and Xiao Ran's idea may not be realized. Xiao Ran looked at Wei Dongling's expression, knew what he was thinking, and smiled: "I didn't think that I could take this opportunity to knock down Murdoch, but I just didn't want Murdoch to use the current opportunity to integrate Fox into a comprehensive entertainment and media company." ”

"At present, TV networks and other media have been merged into Fox, which means that the debt is concentrated in Fox, which is about 5 billion dollars. Murdoch is well aware of this, so urgently financed! Xiao Ran confidently said in front of the railing: "Now that the world has stabilized, it is time for the alliance to be lifted." Let Fang Xiaoqiang personally go to the United States to make stocks, and be sure to knock out Fox's stock price from 12 billion yuan by more than 20%. At that time, Murdoch must have needed money, and Wall Street would not give money, so the only way was to borrow from the bank. ”

Hearing this, Wei Dongling had already guessed that Xiao Ran's move was probably to make Murdoch's News Corp. more indebted, until it reached a critical point of 50 percent. After thinking about it for a while, Xiao Ran frowned slightly: "However, I think Murdoch may not be able to deal with it, so he has to have another plan." ”

"Okay, I get what you mean!" Wei Dongling smiled bitterly and listened to Xiao Ran's other plan to tell him, and exclaimed, "You are really a natural conspirator!" However, for such a long time, will there be a problem? ”

"I don't think so, and I have a backup plan to make up for the problem, don't worry!" Xiao Ran has always liked such compliments: "In short, it's up to you to do it personally, don't give that old guy a chance." ”

What's next? Xiao Ran finally calmed down, and all that was left was the Six King Kongs, maybe he couldn't say that. MGM, the sick man, is difficult to have the power to return to heaven, as long as Xiao Ran gently pushes it, MGM can be merged by the world at any time.

Excluding Fox, that's only four. Colombia is now in a state of sorts, and two guys who spent three billion dollars in a few years have been kicked in the ass and taken to court.

The conscience of heaven and earth, Xiao Ran never thought that he could force down these six Hollywood companies, just kidding, as long as there are no problems with people's operations, there are many people who are willing to take a shot at such an old company! It is no exaggeration to say that it was these six companies that declared bankruptcy, and I am afraid that countless billionaires in the United States were about to buy them for the first time.

Obviously, it is not Xiao Ran's purpose to bankrupt the six major companies, it will only waste Xiao Ran's brainpower needlessly, in fact, as Xiao Ran said, speculation is never the way, only management is king. If you run it well, you will be impeccable. This is like a movie producing high-quality products, as long as there are more high-quality products, no market can resist it.

Therefore, Xiao Ran knows very well that whether Hong Kong-made films can have the largest market in the world depends on their own operations. If you run it well and have a good product, it's not a problem to beat Hollywood.
