Xiao Ran thought that he would make a full set of acts, and glanced at Chen Dezhong: "Do you have 180,000 on you?" It's all for her! ”

"Yes, yes!" Chen Dezhong breathed a big sigh of relief, since it was Yang Yuejie who was punished, then he would be fine. Hearing Xiao Ran's question, he immediately nodded hurriedly, took out more than 200,000 yuan in his arms, and handed it to Yang Yuejie.

Xiao Ran was quite strange, why did Chen Dezhong bring so much cash with him? After thinking about it, I immediately understood that this was to be able to be wide at any time, and I was even more disdainful. When Chen Dezhong saw Yang Yuejie leaving, he relaxed and asked carefully: "Mr. Xiao, can I go?" ”

"Wait a minute!" Xiao Ran took the tea handed over by Lin Qingxia and took a sip, only to feel extremely refreshed, and asked if this was the top Biluochun, then nodded and carefully observed the tea and said lightly: "Don't you know that I don't like to see this kind of thing?" ”

"Mr. Xiao, I'...... I thought you weren't against it! Chen Dezhong's expression was very funny, as if crying and laughing: "Moreover, I am not the first, so I ......"

"I understand that a slap doesn't make a sound. Don't do that in the future, though! You know? Xiao Ran raised his head at this time, squinted his eyes and said to Chen Dezhong, "You can go!" Also, sorry to interrupt your work, please come over. ”

Lin Qingxia was a little confused, she really didn't understand what she wanted to do. Seeing Chen Dezhong leaving, Xiao Ran stood up and glanced around, thinking that there should not be many people who were stupid enough to accept the support again.

Originally, being an actor is very promising, so why bother doing anything, it's just self-practice. Xiao Ran knew very well that his scene for Lin Qingxia had been successful, and when he went out to get into the car, Lin Qingxia asked, "Why did you ...... just now?"

"Give you prestige, you are Mrs. Xiao, how can you not have any majesty at all. They will gradually convince you in the future, so that my purpose has been achieved! Xiao Ran smiled slyly, and his fingers lightly drew circles in Lin Qingxia's palm.

This matter spread in the industry and in the upper class, and since then, the matter of support has gradually decreased, and no one wants to offend Xiao Ran like this. And the celebrities gradually know how to clean themselves, just like Xiao Ran's last sentence with ulterior motives that a slap doesn't make a sound, if they don't mess around, there will naturally be less.

However, Lin Qingxia's influence in front of Xiao Ran is obviously one of the focuses of this incident, and since then, the number of people asking Lin Qingxia for help has gradually increased, so naturally he will not mention it. The couple not only had many friends in the industry since then, but Xiao Ran was not even as popular as Lin Qingxia after many years.

In December, Phantom launched a takeover battle with Wheelock, one of Hong Kong's four oldest British companies. In this acquisition, Phantom borrowed $2 billion from Bank of China, took out $2 billion himself, and successfully completed the acquisition with 30 billion Hong Kong dollars, holding 45% of the shares, becoming the well-deserved largest shareholder.

The major financial and financial media in Hong Kong have been shocked that the Phantom is about to launch a large-scale offensive outside the entertainment and media industry, which will be a major reason for the progress of Hong Kong's economy. At the end of the month, Wheelock became one of the subsidiaries of the Phantom Head Office, and Xiao Ran successfully became the chairman of the board of directors of Wheelock, and the Phantom Group was gradually transforming into a flagship, and finally mastered a large listed company.

In March 1991, Phantom once again started a takeover war, in addition to the loan from Bank of China, it acquired Chengji Infrastructure, which had a market value of 12 billion Hong Kong dollars, at a price of 4 billion Hong Kong dollars. In June, Phantom made another major acquisition and took control of many of Hong Kong Island's prime properties.

In the same year, Prince Rong started the acquisition of Hengchang. In the end, the wholly-owned acquisition was completed at a price of 7 billion, and to Li Jiacheng's and jewelry kings Zheng Yutong and Xiao Ran's dismay, due to political pressure from the mainland, they had to sell the allocated shares to Prince Rong at the original price. This means that Prince Rong borrowed their financial resources to make money for himself, and they only got the profit of the symbolic surname.

In fact, the Phantom's acquisition of Juxing, Chengji and Wheelock is not a wholly-owned acquisition, and it does not even reach the absolute control figure of 51%. But what does it matter? Li Ka-shing controls only 20 percent of Hutchison's shares, both of which are the largest shareholders.

The bigger the business, the harder it is to achieve absolute control, and this is something that everyone knows. However, in addition to giving away the equity of employees and those general managers, Xiao Ran's core business still controls the vast majority of the equity and cannot pose any threat at all. In fact, Wei Dongling did not plan to list his core business, although the conditions were sufficient, he understood that Xiao Ran would never give any chance to usurp his hard work.

Of course, all of this was acquired in other properties up to June 1991. In the entertainment and media industry, Phantom acquired several newspapers and magazines in Europe in January, and after accumulating strength, it took out a loan of $1.5 billion in May and acquired two television stations in the United Kingdom and France with great difficulty.

And by June, Leo's market capitalization had surpassed its all-time high. The Phantom sold 32 percent of the stock for $300 million, but still retained a dozen percent of the equity. And Filip, Europe's largest publishing company headquartered in France, was not listed, and Phantom spent another $100 million to bring the stake to 62 percent. The initial investment quadrupled in two or three miles.

The only thing that bothered Xiao Ran and Wei Dongling was that the old guy Murdoch had already vaguely appeared on the road of the Phantom's horizontal expansion. The only fortunate thing is that they haven't played each other yet. And Xiao Ran also told Wei Dongling many times to attach great importance to Murdoch, and Lin Yongqiang also collected information on Murdoch's head. Later, with this information, Shengsheng intercepted Murdoch's two acquisitions.

In August, the Phantom again launched an acquisition of a well-known television station in Yueben, and took advantage of the depreciation of the Yuan to successfully achieve its goal at a cost of 900 million US dollars. This year can be said to be the most important step for Phantom to enter the comprehensive multinational group, and has reached a number of acquisitions, which can be said to play a considerable role in the Bank of China.

Of course, that's for later. In 1991, the media once again launched an intense and intense annual statistics. This time, Xiao Ran once again became the first person in the entertainment industry selected by "Influence", and the second place was Lin Qingxia, for a very simple reason, because their film became the highest-grossing film in the world for Asian films, and they are also recognized as the best couple on and off the screen.

Among the top ten most enviable couples selected by many magazines, Xiao Lin, who was not favored before, topped the list, which was not only selected in Hong Kong, but also in the selection of various magazines in Southeast Asia, which is definitely recognized. Xiao Ran is very happy with this result, and he knows that the meaning behind this is that Hong Kong films have successfully invaded Southeast Asia and occupy a very solid position.

"Asia Weekly" imitated "Influence" this time to rank the rights of people in the Asian entertainment industry, and Xiao Ran was naturally listed first, which no one objected to. The reason given by the weekly is very simple: as long as Xiao Ran is willing, he can make the most ordinary person become the brightest star in Asia in half a year.

There is absolutely no doubt about this, and now basically all of Asia knows that the Phantom Company has a starlight plan, and ten to twenty actors and hosts are popular every year, and those who can be on the list are definitely qualified to become popular. Every year, just to squeeze into the list, everyone is doing their best. And with Phantom's huge entertainment media empire, it is easy to achieve this goal.

In many of the annual rankings of Asia Weekly, one of the most influential financial magazines in Asia, such as the Top 500 International Chinese Entrepreneurs, Phantom ranked seventh because it had just joined Wheelock. Xiao Ran also became the ninth of Asia's top 10 people of the year, and Wei Dongling once again won the position of global working emperor this year due to salary increase and equity appreciation.

In the various rankings of "Influence", Xiao Ran is on the list. And "Power" has long started to prepare for the annual wealth statistics, because it is its industry, Xiao Ran takes good care of this magazine, except for the assets of the World Fund that have not been reported, there is basically nothing else to hide.

According to the statistics of "Power", power-controlled karaoke is still the main source of assets for the Phantom, because the follow-up product of karaoke was developed shortly after, and the market value of this alone reached two billion US dollars. Together with Power's other stocks and investments, it is also worth about $600 million.

In 1990, Scholar Media made a number of acquisitions and owned a number of magazines, newspapers and publishing houses in Asia and Europe, with a market value of up to US$800 million. Last year, Sihai Audiovisual acquired a large audio-visual distribution company in Europe, and successfully expanded its sales network to Europe, and even handled the distribution of many records. Last year's sales were as high as $2.3 billion, and its market capitalization was as high as $500 million.

ATV's current market capitalization is also $200 million (because I underestimated its market value at first, so I had to gradually increase it here, and I believe that this value should be about the same), accounting for 44% of the Hong Kong market, beating TVB and returning to the hegemony.

If the thinking is only in the late stage, the market value will definitely not be high. However, it controls the world's most advanced camera equipment, and at least 80 percent of Hong Kong's films are produced here and rented equipment. Moreover, it has also invested in a number of research photographic equipment companies, so that the market value barely reaches $100 million.

After the spin-off, fantasy animation and unlimited visual effects companies have a fairly good market capitalization. Unfortunately, this has little to do with their performance, mainly because the equipment invested in the Phantom in the early days was worth about $400 million. If it weren't for the fact that the performance was not good, it far surpassed the infinity and fantasy of Light and Magic in terms of complete and advanced equipment, and the market value could be at least 200 million higher.

The star company is also very remarkable, and the market value of this brokerage company, which gathers at least 60% of the biggest stars in Hong Kong, is as high as 100 million US dollars. After Skywalker and Light Fiend are supported by the Phantom's financial resources, and then stimulated by the liquid metal man, plus Dolby Laboratories and Pixar, the current total market value has reached a billion US dollars. However, according to the equity of the Phantom, the assets on it are only 600 million US dollars.

The successful acquisition of Wheelock at the end of last year brought $4.5 billion worth of assets to the Phantom, mainly because the news of the Phantom's acquisition of Wheelock spurred the stock to rise. I have to admit that people have a lot of confidence in Xiao Ran, a very legendary super-rich man, and Wei Dongling, the world's highest-paid working emperor and one of the top ten presidents in Asia.

In Europe, Filet Fillet controls about $600 million worth of equity, while Leo retains about $100 million worth of equity. The company controls a number of cinema chains in Europe and Asia, and last year made several acquisitions worth up to $300 million. And the Phantom Imaging and the basic film that specializes in the production of literary films are actually not worth much because of their mobile surnames, and they are the same as the security companies after the spin-off.

However, Tian Lai's market value has soared a lot this year, and she has become popular with a Western female singer in Europe and the United States with the song "Endless Melody". Subsequently, Tian Lai took the opportunity to open a certain market in Europe and the United States, and gradually expanded its share of the market, and three of the four heavenly kings were snared. Because the Phantom provided funds to acquire British Polygram, it made itself extremely strong, with a market value of 600 million US dollars.

The highlight is still the Phantom Head Office, and the editors were shocked when they just counted the other numbers and then calculated the market value of the Phantom. The investment profit of the Phantom's branches around the country is as high as more than 100 million, and the profit of the head office is as high as 300 million US dollars. It's a terrible number, and it's just from the profits from box office releases.

Because of Xiao Ran's foresight, the Phantom acquired two stocks of the Changhe Department last year, worth only $100 million. But Dell's stock is really good, and it has made the Phantom earn more than 7 billion Hong Kong dollars. Cisco, on the other hand, has just been on the market and can be ignored for the time being. But Hathaway also made the Phantom $200 million.

The Phantom (the Phantom Group refers to the subsidiary, while the Phantom refers to the Phantom Corporation) currently has about $300 million in liquidity, plus the value of stocks, etc., as well as Fang Xiaoqiang's gains in the Gulf crisis and the merger of East and West Germany, the Phantom's market value is $3.2 billion.

Excluding some of the stocks that were given away, the total market capitalization of the Phantom Group is still as high as 14.6 billion US dollars, or more than 100 billion Hong Kong dollars, which is more than double that of last year. With four consecutive years of rapid expansion, if Phantom is listed, it will definitely be one of the top ten companies with the highest market capitalization in Hong Kong, and this stock will definitely be extremely popular. It is no exaggeration to say that if Xiao Ran is willing to let Phantom go public, the speed of the stock will definitely make him the richest man in the world in the short term.

And Fang Xiaoqiang's original investment of 100 million yuan accidentally rose more than 60 times in two or three years, and this transaction was extremely cost-effective. When Fang Xiaoqiang and Wei Dongling each entered the list of the 100 richest people in Hong Kong with a value of 700 million US dollars, people found that investing in Phantom was so easy to make. Unfortunately, Xiao Ran did not plan to list these core industries, and even so, Wheelock shares have once again set off a surprising upward trend because of this news.

This time, Xiao Ran can't even think of becoming the richest man in China, just with his ninety percent stake in Phantom, it is enough to become the richest man in China. And, don't forget, Xiao Ran's private investment also includes 18 percent of the currently unsuccessful Microsoft stock, as well as other real estate and real estate projects, worth about half a billion dollars.

As a result, under the circumstances that Xiao Ran himself did not expect, he surpassed the second place with assets of 100 billion Hong Kong dollars, becoming the richest Chinese in Hong Kong and even the world, ranking 28th on the list of the world's richest people. It's a miracle, it's definitely a miracle to be able to start by making movies.

searched all over the world, and can enter the 500 richest people in the world, I am afraid that none of them can start by making movies. Moreover, Xiao Ran is also a famous screenwriter and director, as well as an actor! Time magazine couldn't help but interview Xiao Ran, with Xiao Ran as the cover and an eye-catching title: "Oriental Miracle!" ”
