Chapter 284: The Summit

"Actually, you don't need to worry so much, aren't those objects we acquired still be able to be incorporated into Shuxiang as a share increase?" Xiao Ran smiled indifferently, in order to snipe at News Corporation, Shuxiang has spent a lot of money in the past two years to control companies that do not need to be controlled: "And, don't forget, after two or three years of operation, those companies can earn us at least billions of dollars in total!" ”
"Only you comfort yourself like that!" Wei Dongling came to Xiao Ran with disdain, and stared at this guy with a snort: "If that money is used to invest in others, it won't take a few years to make more!" ”
Xiao Ran felt slightly embarrassed, if he hadn't been afraid of Murdoch, he wouldn't have needed to mobilize such a huge amount of money to deal with News Corp. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoIn fact, News Corp is no longer as influential as Shuxiang, but Xiao Ran still stubbornly believes that if a character like Murdoch can not be defeated, maybe it will threaten the existence of Shuxiang in the future, after all, in his original history, Lao Mo is definitely a great figure.
"By the way, what do you think Lao Mo will do?" Xiao Ran has always been inferior to Wei Dongling in business, and he is very clear about this, so he did not try to meddle in it indiscriminately, but tried to ask Ah Dong's opinion.
Wei Dongling immediately fell into deep thought, and after a moment of silence, he said, "If I are in such a favorable offensive position as him, then the best option is to buy that company first, get cash, and at the same time spin off and sell." This will allow you to get some cash and, most importantly, some confidence from investors. Then come and initiate an acquisition of the company under Shuxiang, so it is much safer! ”
"Of course, the other option is very risky, and you can directly initiate the acquisition of the company owned by Shuxiang. In this case......" Wei Dongling thought quietly: "It may not be that there is no chance of success, and if such a raid on the book is successful, and a foot is inserted in the Asian market, then the confidence of investors must surge!" ”
Xiao Ran nodded thoughtfully: "It's very simple, no matter what Murdoch does, he has been attracted by the gestures we have made in the past two years!" For this company, he is determined to win. In any case, his ultimate goal is this! ”
"In such a position, he can make a gesture to initiate the acquisition of that company in North America, which is theoretically to snipe at him, based on our actions over the years. And he can take the opportunity to turn the gun and come to Asia, which is a sound attack on the west, and it is easy to confuse us. Wei Dongling nodded indifferently and said.
He was very confident in Xiao Ran's plan two years ago, although the current North American company was a small accident, but he must not let these two guys who planned all the actions two years ago be confused.
Two years ago, Xiao Ran filed the most common bankruptcy case in the shopping mall, which is bankruptcy due to excessive debt and lack of funds. After collecting all aspects of the investigation data, Xiao Ran's analysis of this person and various speculations, Murdoch has never thought of giving up the Asian market, although everyone knows that scholars are the king of media in Asia.
And Xiao Ran made this plan very much for the surname, he wanted to use the opportunity of reorganization to give the world and even himself a false impression. Of course, to the extent that the fragrance of books is so real, it is no longer an illusion, in fact, the situation of the fragrance of books is indeed very real, and it is necessary to sell those TV networks in hand, although the problem of controlling it in the hands is not very big.
This illusion is that after Shuxiang Media owns the major TV networks under ATV, it has become the number one media in Asia, and there is no need for other TV networks. So in this way, in the past two years, Shuxiang has sold off the TV networks of some small countries quite step-by-step, and what is left is a subsidiary formed by the merger of the TV networks of South Korea and Yuben.
And this is the bait, the bait specifically aimed at Murdoch. As long as he can get this subsidiary, then Murdoch can completely intervene in the Asian media industry, or perhaps it is better to say that as long as anyone obtains this subsidiary, he can also intervene in the Asian media industry.
Let's ask who can resist such a temptation, and Murdoch's News Corporation can be said to be completely suppressed by Scholarly Media, and its career has reached a bottleneck, and it is very important to seek a breakthrough.
News Corp.'s debt is now approaching 50 percent, but Murdoch sold some of his properties some time ago to bring the debt down to 40 percent. As long as the scholarly fragrance adds a lot of energy, and then a little clever means, it is enough to make News Corp fall into the abyss.
In the afternoon, Xiao Ran went to think about the late stage. It's really amazing now, and it's the number one post-production company in Asia, covering a pretty large area. When he came to the recording studio, Xiao Ran looked at the group of people inside and shouted to start work, and they got busy.
The question of recording has also puzzled Xiao Ran for a long time, what exactly does he want? What should Samsara look like? And all of this has a lot to do with recording. The most typical is the gunfire effect of gunfight scenes in Hong Kong films in history, which is often done very loud and powerful. However, filmmakers often ignore that sound is always associated with the film.
And what Xiao Ran relatively appreciates is the gunfire sound effect of "Very Sudden", which is not very powerful, but relatively real gunshot, which forms an indescribable sense of ingenuity with the theme of the film. Especially in the final scene, in terms of the gunfire effect, the not thick gunfire can highlight the more intense gunfight, and it is also faintly linked to the theme.
This is what Xiao Ran wants, but perhaps it is precisely because of Xiao Ran's insight at these technical levels that he was able to direct a very classic action movie before he directed "True Colors", at least at the technical level, it is completely beyond the level.
However, what is "Reincarnation" like? As a director, Xiao Ran certainly knows what he wants to express. It's just that in this way, he found that in the action scenes, it was the two scenes of reverse driving and bullet time, which were not consistent with the style of the film.
Finally came to editing, Xiao Ran looked at the picture and was quietly stunned. Indeed, as he expected, the style of the film is definitely not uniform. It's hard to describe what kind of style "Reincarnation" itself is, both like an intense action movie and like a literary film full of allegories. Both the art and all aspects are perfectly in line with this style.
The problem arises, the reverse driving chase scene is just because the scene itself is too big and does not fit the style of the film. That's right, the key is the bullet time, which is used in the scene at the end where the two are in the air, holding each other's arms and pulling out guns to shoot at each other.
What is the problem? Gorgeous, so gorgeous! This kind of shot is definitely not suitable for the rather pure and essential style of the film, and it is more suitable for films like "The Legend of the Car God". But is this just the way to cut out this shot?
Xiao Ran used one hundred and twenty top-notch digital cameras, controlled by computers, and then gave it to Infinite Vision for final modification and processing. If you cut it like this, it can't be said to be a pity, it's a waste at all.
Because Zhang Yaozong hadn't seen that shot yet, he didn't know what Xiao Ran was struggling with. But he felt that Xiao Ran was very strange now, as if he had fallen into some kind of pain: "Brother Ran, you are not usually like this, you should be very decisive." ”
Zhang Yaozong's words were like a beacon, guiding Xiao Ran in the direction, and he resolutely stood up and gritted his teeth and said: "Cut out this scene and replace it with another set of shots we shot!" ”
At the time of filming, Xiao Ran already had a faint premonition. Although bullet time is really very tempting, Xiao Ran still retook another set of shots, which was a set of shots that were simply clean and had no bullet time.
After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Ran was wondering if he should cut out the scene of the reverse chase battle. After thinking about it, Xiao Ran still decided to keep it, there were no explosion scenes in this scene, not even in the whole film.
July 1st, it hasn't arrived yet! However, I believe it will come soon. Even Xiao Ran and Wei Dongling, the two guys who had always stayed in the smoke of gunpowder, gradually felt nervous, although the opponent was far from threatening the existence of the phantom, but this tension still existed very clearly.
On this day, Xiao Ran didn't need to deal with the later things in the film, so he quickly summoned Fang Xiaoqiang, the kid, back. It's just that when Fang Xiaoqiang came to the incomparably spacious balcony (imagine the one in "God of Food"), Xiao Ran was very surprised.
In his opinion, Fang Xiaoqiang theoretically needed to arrive at noon. Wei Dongling obviously also got the news of Fang Xiaoqiang's return, and hurriedly came to the balcony. The employees of the company couldn't help but be surprised when they saw the three directors appear together in this rare "spectacle", and thought that the three giants were planning some big deal.
Under the hands of Sunshine and Monkey, as well as Zhang Yan and Liu Xi, Xiao Ran and the three of them began to be very unnutritious, and others would never have thought of it. Xiao Ran looked at Fang Xiaoqiang, who was still quite thin, with a look of surprise: "Xiaoqiang, why did you arrive so quickly!" ”
"Brother Ran, I warn you, don't call me Xiaoqiang again!" Fang Xiaoqiang gritted his teeth and glared at Xiao Ran fiercely, Zhou Xingchi's Xiaoqiang is now a household name in all of Asia, how can he not be depressed.
In fact, what he hated the most was that the cockroach in the script of "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance" was not called Xiaoqiang. Those screenwriters didn't dare to joke about the name of one of the Phantom's directors, in order to avoid this, they actually used Xiao Ming.
As a result, Xiao Ran received the news, and was stunned for the first time, could it be that cute Xiaoqiang is gone like this! So, this guy immediately asked people to change Xiao Ming to Xiao Qiang, and according to history, he achieved the cockroach brother who moved the world!
The end is naturally conceivable, Fang Xiaoqiang is now eager to change the name immediately, but his parents don't allow it, so he has to continue to use the name. Xiao Ran suddenly remembered a Xianxia novel he read many years ago, and he was thinking, the protagonist of that book is called Xiao Qiang, is the author hinting at Xiao Qiang?
Of course, that's off topic. Fang Xiaoqiang looked at Xiao Ran very depressed and said, "I just bought a plane recently, so I came here so soon!" ”
"You have a lot of money in your private house, so you can buy this and that at every turn!" Xiao Ran sighed and made a look of envy. In terms of his identity, this look was obviously very unbeatable, so both of them gave Xiao Ran a slight punch.
Of course, Wei Dongling and Fang Xiaoqiang's main assets come from Phantom, but this does not mean that they have no other investments, and those investments can also make a lot of money for them. It's as if Xiao Ran has hundreds of millions of dollars in cash and about $3 billion in investments in his private name in addition to Microsoft's stock.
After talking casually and sitting down on the chair, Fang Xiaoqiang smiled and said, "Brother Ran, are you planning to do it this time?" I can't wait to fight Soros and see if he's good or I'm good! ”
It is not surprising that Fang Xiaoqiang has such an idea of competing with the low, and the most famous head of private investment institutions in the West is Soros, who is the most famous speculator. In the East, Fang Xiaoqiang has experienced many battles under Xiao Ran's deliberate training over the years, and has earned at least tens of billions of dollars in profits for the Phantom, and has become the number one speculator in Asia.
The decisive battle between the two masters of the East and the West, this feels a bit like Huashan Sword, or the taste of Gu Long's decisive battle in the Forbidden City, and I can't complain that Fang Xiaoqiang, this kid, is excited to plan to fight with Soros. Of course, no matter who wins, they dare not call themselves the number one speculator in the world, after all, there are countless masters in the world, but if they win, they will definitely be the most famous financial speculator in the world today.
Xiao Ran nodded silently, in order to deal with Soros, he spent a lot of effort on Fang Xiaoqiang, so that this strong man who had fought with Soros in history and achieved equal distribution could play a decisive role in the financial turmoil. Even, desperately losing money, you have to cultivate.
Today, no, this year is the time for Fang Xiaoqiang to show his full ability. This time, Xiao Ran won't be able to help anything, except for the funds. As mentioned earlier, selling TV stations and selling shares in oil companies and the like, Xiao Ran is raising funds for this year's World War I.
Even, Xiao Ran specially asked the three major listed companies, Hutchison and Mingxuan and Power, to gradually issue more tradable shares in the market in order to raise funds. In fact, not only these three flagships, but also the listed companies controlled by several other major companies have made the same move one after another, especially the listed companies controlled by Shuxiang, so that they can raise funds and increase Murdoch's acquisition capital difficulties, so why not do it.
So far, the Phantom has been able to mobilize $40 billion in a single day. However, if this is really done in peacetime, it will definitely cause a strong shock in the market. With Phantom's friendship with major banks, it is definitely not a problem to raise tens of billions of dollars in a week's time. By that time, a third of the intended funds had been raised.
