Chapter 380: Take it
After the end of his visit to China, Daniel . Sandler began his role as a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) by visiting the MAE-LA refugee camp on the Thai-Myanmar border, where tens of thousands of refugees from Myanmar and other Southeast Asian countries live. Their homeland is suffering from war, and these people who cannot survive have to flee to Thailand. Daniel and UNHCR officials inspected their survival and donated water and medical equipment to provide the refugees with the most basic conditions for survival and medical treatment.
In his speech, Daniel said that the war is still raging in many parts of the world, that the crisis of terrorism requires everyone to be vigilant, and that a coalition strike will not be able to provide the ultimate solution to this danger. The world needs to work together to curb national, religious terrorism.
This is the first time that Daniel has expressed new insights on social and international issues since his public speech in New York. Unlike the last time it was an act of war against the Bush administration, and it was predicted that he would undoubtedly fail. This time, Daniel's eyes are focused on terrorism, an adversary of the United States and the world. This time he seems to be paying special attention to religion, and Islam is widely believed in the Middle East, where terrorism is rampant. It is still unknown whether Daniel is pointing directly to the teachings of Islam, but it is highly likely. However, even so, Daniel did not encourage all parties to take military action.
He said that any action must have a substantial material basis, and that the countries of the world, having recognized the anti-human nature of terrorism, should work together to fundamentally control terrorist acts by preventing their access to material resources, including weapons, food and dollars. Wars, which have already proven not to be omnipotent, have been shown in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Daniel's sudden political remarks are likely to be seen as a definite view in the 2008 presidential election. As a well-known person who once accurately predicted the direction of the Iraq war. His influence on issues like this will likely put significant pressure on the candidates. ”
Newsweek, a Washington Post newspaper, reported on Daniel's remarks at the Mae-La refugee camp, even though it was somewhat overkill when it was published in the camp. In general, to Angelina. Julie, for example, often appealed for more financial support to UNHCR during her visits to the camps. He called on the public to show more concern for refugees, and to express their compassion and resentment against the war. This is also a model for the majority of non-professional eminent personalities to speak on this issue. It is rare for Daniel to elevate the topic to the level of how countries around the world should deal with state and religious terrorism.
……
"On the one hand, it is true that I want to say this, but politicians have not noticed that the spread of extreme Islamism on social networks has reached a very significant level, and the contradictions of racial and religious discrimination involved in this. will bring us terrible sequelae. Daniel made himself a glass of milk, and across the Pacific Ocean, it was midnight on his side, and Cusa was at work—fortunately, the two of them were wonderfully aligned, "On the one hand, Raymond's side needs help too." Several investment banks in South Africa's NASBAY are also deeply entrenched in the United States, and they still think that everything is on the negotiating table. ”
This Nasby investment in South Africa. Most of the equity belongs to two US funds, and the remaining investors include a South African bank and a company – both of which are backed by US consortiums. So it's not so much that. Nasby is South African, not so much American. Raymond's efforts are spent in South Africa, and Daniel needs to work on the United States.
All influences should be used.
Especially starting tomorrow, the topic of the presidential election will be a hot topic of no doubt - and that means a raging battle behind the big business groups. As for Daniel, although he leans towards the Democratic Party, so far. There is still no clear articulation, and all parties are trying to win him over. With F2F, MB and other influential social networks, Daniel's statement needs to be cautious, and should even be avoided. But that doesn't mean he can't take advantage of the situation and get some benefits for himself.
After he showed political influence. Those consortia naturally need to think a little more when dealing with him.
After all, even now, although most people are optimistic about China's development, no one knows how much China's influence on the world will suddenly increase after the 2008 financial crisis - China is responsible for almost 70% of global growth when Europe, the United States and Japan are all wiped out. At that time, everyone will know where the potential of this country lies, but now, Naspass will not have Daniel's determination, let alone know that T News, which has a market value of less than 10 billion now, will exceed 100 billion in 6 years, and more than 200 billion US dollars in 8 years.
Who knows? Nobody knows. It's like no one knows that Apple's stock price is on a rollercoaster ride.
These unknowns are all opportunities that Daniel grasped when making investments.
"Well, the premiere of Youth Musicale was a great success." Kusa introduced the situation, on the 24th, "Youth Musical" held a large-scale premiere in Los Angeles - a kind of young actor who appeared through CBS's "Youth Cup" also has many fans, and they are not fans yet, just fans.
This premiere can be said to be unique.
It is different from the traditional process of red carpet, celebrity support, movie, and party. DD Pictures invited nearly 300 contestants from all over the United States to participate in the "Youth Cup of Singing and Dancing Cup", plus the top 10 star dancers, to hold a young song and dance carnival in a large party villa in Los Angeles. Timberlake, Christina. Aguilera, and Britney. Spears and so on, these popular singers are all post-80s, and this year's rise momentum is quite strong newcomer Taylor. Swift, Emma who arrived early last year. Roberts, and the upcoming Miley. Sellers and others are all new forces from 89 to 92.
The theme of the party that night was also youthful.
"8090, youth without fear"
"The people below just gave me the data. On social media, there were nearly 23 million discussions about "Youth Musical," and one of Efron's updates was retweeted more than 400,000 times — a new record. Now media people are lamenting that the world has become a post-80s and 90s generation at a speed that they can't accept. The power of young people, they were shocked. Kusa's tone was very pleasant, "Of course. You're a new member of the 20 million club, to be precise, you're your shadow, everybody says now. ”
"Is it just 20 million? My shadow is more than that. ”
On the evening of the 29th, the "Youth Cup of Singing and Dancing Youth" held a three-person finals, and in the early morning of the 30th, "Youth Singing and Dancing Youth" was officially released - instead of Friday, it was chosen as a weekend, as if to encourage young people to escape the curfew and go out to have fun - some people expressed concern about the possible anger of parents.
However, Melissa quoted Daniel.
"Let them go in anger. While they're angry, we've gotten their pocket money for their children. ”
If you are so badly beaten, of course, let everyone ...... It's cool.
……
The day before leaving Thailand, Daniel made video contact with the hotel and South Africa.
In stark contrast to the barren and humble itinerary of Africa, the conference room of the South African company Nascopy is neat and advanced, and the light of the cold modern equipment flashes everywhere, and the signal lights of various colors flicker gradually.
"Wow. It's completely different from the Africa I've seen in Kenya. I thought you were in Los Angeles. ”
Daniel said something unpleasant—a little impulsive.
But everyone is a veteran of dealing with this embarrassment, and it is easy to laugh it off. Raymond and his assistant sat on the side. On the other side is Nasby's chairman, Baker, a South African through and through, the most South African in the whole of Nasby except where he is registered.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Sandler." Baker was not young, but he was energetic and his eyes were bright. "I've heard from my American partners early on about your saga, whether it's in Hollywood or Silicon Valley, every step of the way is surprising and even shocking — and now you're looking at China?"
"Yes. It was a hot land, full of Mark. Polo's description of the golden encounter. ”
Daniel didn't mean to deny it.
"In fact, I knew many years ago that China has a lot of potential – you should understand that I have a proud reputation in China, and it doesn't come out of nowhere, and it's not just my work that plays a role. What's more, I worked closely with the Chinese media three or four years ago – at that time, the annual box office of their entire country was not comparable to the North American box office of one of my films. Unfortunately, I was still incompetent at that time, so I missed out on many good investment opportunities. But it's not too late, Mr. Baker, is it? ”
"Of course, it's never too late to make a profitable investment."
Baker is actually a little annoyed, as an investment company, there are short-term ones, such as Yingke which invested in T News, etc., which sold shares before going public, and there are also long-term ones, such as MIH, which is owned by NASBAY, and is not willing to sell a share. They are very optimistic about T-news, so it must be irritating that Plutos is forced to enter it.
However, it is impossible to refuse outright.
Daniel had just visited China, and the level of treatment he received was astonishing – if it had been during the height of the SARS epidemic in 2003, then the state councilor would have had to express his gratitude to the international community for his help by meeting with the head of "science and technology for all." So today, it is not necessary for a deputy prime minister, who is only below the top, to meet with Daniel himself because of "thanks". The appearance of Health Minister Di Qiang is enough.
This only shows one more point, Daniel's influence and financial resources have allowed him to receive attention from the highest levels in China. This is a huge advantage that cannot be ignored in China.
This gives Daniel a great potential advantage when communicating with T-News, in fact, Baker's vague information from Ma Huateng's team is the final factor in Nasbe's decision.
T-Info's management team has the final say - a promise they made in the first place to secure a sufficient number of rights issues, and it is also part of Nasdaq's business strategy. It also means that NASBAY will lack the final decision-making power over the investment company. So when T-signal tended to introduce Plutos, Nasbay didn't become too resistant.
What's more, the American investors in Nascopy also sent some messages - of course, the interests are still the most important, but at least don't get into a stiff relationship with Daniel.
This young man's influence in the United States is much higher than his in China.
A reality, but Baker had to accept it.
He was up against such a freak.
Daniel had no intention of caring about Baker's feelings, and since Raymond had asked him to attend at the last minute, it meant that at least the basic framework had been reached, otherwise there was no point in his intervention.
"So, tell us more about that?"
"MIH sold 15 percent for $1.3 billion, but Plutos needs to sign a trigger memorandum that must notify the company's board of directors once Plutos exceeds 20 percent."
In addition to MIH and the management team, ASBS Bank, as well as the Hong Kong stock open market, also have shares in T News, so the latter article restricts Plutos from owning more than MIH shares. Daniel can be sure that Baker and T-Info's team are in communication. As the founding team of T-Xun, the benefits of introducing Plutos are obvious, but if it is not restricted, the consequences of internal attrition that may be caused are also unacceptable. Therefore, they must come to some agreement with MIH - this is also the norm in a mature joint-stock company, where shareholders are holding each other hostage and alliance, cooperating and competing, constantly raising and solving problems for the development of the company.
"When we arrived in South Africa...... Raymond began to talk to him about the negotiation process.
Baker occasionally expressed some opinions—Raymond's exposition of MIH's views was sometimes not entirely prepared.
The video conference ended quickly, and Daniel didn't say anything about Baker, in fact, the communication between him and the deal, except for this time, was all focused on the internal communication with Raymond, who was the executor of all of Plutos' investments, which is also the meaning of the question.
"I hope to have the opportunity to meet you, Mr. Baker. Raymond, we'll see you in Los Angeles. ”
After Daniel's image vanished, Baker looked at Raymond and smiled.
"What's it like to work under the leadership of a genius?"
"Don't worry about making mistakes."
“…… It's really jealous. (To be continued.) )
