If it had been before, Li Mingbao might have had the idea of making money in harmony, after all, if he eats alone and eats a lot in the United States, he will always meet some people who shoot black guns, and maybe his life will be in danger at any time, and in this place in the United States, it is too common to encounter people like killers. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Although Li Mingbao's own strength is not bad, after getting the funds, he began to expand his armed forces on a large scale, even if heavy weapons cannot be used in Hong Kong, but there are still a lot of ordinary light weapons, Li Mingbao's security company, and these weapons are licensed, and those black weapons on the road are completely two concepts, Li Mingbao These things can be taken out openly, but most of the things on the road can only be made in private.
Only light weapons, Li Mingbao naturally will not be satisfied, so at the beginning of the year, he partnered with the sixth uncle in Malaysia to get a batch of heavy weapons, although these weapons can only be used locally in Malaysia, and cannot be placed anywhere else, but as long as his gang can use these weapons familiarly, then when necessary, in other places, Li Mingbao spent a lot of money, and it is not impossible to get these things. Weapons, for ordinary people, it is very difficult to get them, even if they are people on the road, it may not be too much of a problem to get light weapons, but heavy weapons or something, it is more troublesome.
But for people like Li Mingbao and them, even if they really want to get their hands on heavy weapons and pay enough price, others on the Pentagon side of the United States are all free shipping around the world, which is not a problem at all. Except for some special places, American weapons ships, can be in place. If you are willing to spend the capital, then the United States will serve you wholeheartedly, in fact, this kind of business, not only the United States is doing it, among the five hooligans, there is no one who has not done such a business, the difference is that some countries do more, some countries do less, the United States occupies a lot of power, plus his sphere of influence is connected to Europe, so his weapons, in the formal channels, will be more confident than the current Soviet Union, the future Russia. However, because the Soviet Union's channels are not very good, it is more difficult for their weapons to go through regular channels, which also creates the image that Soviet weapons are not as good as American weapons in terms of reputation.
Of course, for this aspect of things, Li Mingbao is actually not involved much, these things are more often now, let the third brother and the fourth brother do it, Li Mingbao is just contributing funds.
But even if there is such a channel, Li Mingbao did not think about exposing his wealth in the United States before, because he can do this, and other old consortia can also do the same, Li Mingbao is involved in these things, at most he can be regarded as a novice, compared to them, it is much worse, and when it is not necessary, Li Mingbao does not want to be in the limelight, maybe he will suffer at that time.
But now that he has a close relationship with a local snake like John, and has a close relationship with a person like Murdoch who can eat all over the world, Li Mingbao is not afraid of some of the things he used to scruple about, but seems to be much more generous. At this time, what Li Mingbao needs is not to continue to pretend to be a pig, but to make a name for himself as soon as possible, in line with his current identity.
After this PwC audit of the capital in the United States, Li Mingbao found that he was not too short of money, on the contrary, the companies in his hands are more valuable than he had estimated before.
Originally, I thought that withdrawing 150 million US dollars at once would be difficult for the industry in the United States, and it might affect the construction of the company. But due to the previous promise, even if there were some losses, Li Mingbao admitted it. But I didn't expect that after the overall capital was calculated, Li Mingbao found that he was not bad at money, on the contrary, the profit exceeded his own estimates, even if he withdrew so much money at once, it would not have any impact on his own industry, and even if it was another large-scale investment from DreamWorks Film Company, Li Mingbao would definitely be able to hold on in a year or two, as long as the TV program company did not make mistakes, I believe that by next year, Li Mingbao's cash will be in a blowout state again, and by that time, What Li Mingbao needs to consider is not the problem of insufficient cash, but the need to consider where his cash can be put to spend.
Li Mingbao is quite clear about the direction of the dollar in the next few years, if the dollar is kept in the bank, even if he can get a lot of interest, in fact, Li Mingbao is still losing money. The interest rate is far higher than the actual value of the currency depreciation, and if you keep the dollar all the time, it is definitely a loss-making business. Therefore, after hearing the report, Li Mingbao made up his mind that in the future, the funds from the United States need to be gradually mobilized, and he does not have to make his own capital chain very tight like other companies, so that others can withstand it, but Li Mingbao may not be able to, after all, so many industries under Li Mingbao are too tempting, if he also learns from those Americans to engage in high-debt development models, maybe he will encounter big trouble at any time. Being cut off by someone who has his own funds cut off, and then has to spit out his own property, that kind of loss is much greater than the small money he earns. Even Murdoch may not be so relieved to see that they have mastered so many high-quality companies.
Therefore, Li Mingbao will play the game of currency exchange at most, and will not involve more financial extension industries, in order to maintain his own capital strength, and he can't really give up all the risks to John and Murdoch to resist, which is too dangerous.
Knowing that his own funds are quite abundant, Li Mingbao finally said to Mary on the other end of the phone: "Since we have more cash in hand, then DreamWorks Films, in the second half of the year, can appropriately speed up the pace and open more new movies without affecting normal business." Try to continue to invest the money in the movie, instead of always maintaining a high cash flow. Of course, it's best to get these movies done before the end of the year. By April next year, I will have to recoup more than half of my investment, and I may have other uses for my funds.
But there is a premise, that is, we must maintain the stability of the funds on the side of the DreamWorks TV program production company, and the financial needs over there must not exceed the warning line, and you also understand that the career development over there will definitely be much faster than that of DreamWorks Films, and their ability to attract money is also not comparable to DreamWorks Films. So I hope you must have a good grasp of the direction of the other side, even if there is any pressure on Murdoch and John's side, you can't bear it, you'd better turn to me, and you don't need to face them alone, I mean, you understand? ”
"I understand the boss. I know how important DreamWorks TV production is, so I'm sure I'm optimistic about the work there, and I don't mind making an example of them if necessary, and if they're not honest, I have a way to clean them up. Mary reassured on the other end of the phone.
"It's good if you understand, as long as it's good for the boss and me, even if you poke a big basket, I, the boss, will still carry it for you. I'm not the boss before you, he can't afford the responsibility, I, the boss, can afford it. So you can do it boldly. In the end, Li Mingbao gave Mary such a promise.
It's not Li Mingbao and Mary making a fuss, whether it's Li Mingbao or Mary, they all understand that among all the industries of Li Mingbao now, the most profitable industry may be which industry it will be in the future, but at least for now, it will definitely be DreamWorks program production company, although when this company really wants to make efforts, at least it will have to wait until next year, but after all, it is not too far away from next year's eight or five years, and there are not a few months in total, so the current most profitable DreamWorks Film Company, They don't care so much now, to put it more deeply, that is, Li Mingbao would rather DreamWorks Films be hung up than DreamWorks TV program production company. That kind of loss, even a few more DreamWorks studios will not be enough to lose.
No matter which regional TV station, for at least thirty years, their profitability is definitely not comparable to that of movies. The influence of TV stations is much greater than that of movies. Otherwise, in the seventies, the sixth uncle would not have shifted his focus to the TV station, and the suppression of Zou Wenhuai was only kept at a certain limit, and he did not really strangle Zou Wenhuai wholeheartedly, otherwise Zou Wenhuai might not be able to laugh until the eighties. After all, the initial gap between them is too big, even if Zou Wenhuai has the support of the rest of the Shao family behind him, but compared to the sixth uncle, the ability of the other people in the Shao family is not so enough.
Zou Wenhuai is like this, and the same is true of these giant companies on the Hollywood side, although in the eyes of the outside world, the money made at one time is not comparable to the profit of TV stations at all. But people who really know this industry understand that when movies are at a loss, but as long as the TV station does not do the program, it is not considered a day? It's not so easy to be angry and want to lose money, especially those TV stations that have achieved a certain scale, their income may not be much worse than that of movies, but this circle is more closed than the film circle, and it is difficult for ordinary people to understand the situation, so many people in the outside world think that in the entertainment industry, the people who mix best are people in the film industry.
This is definitely a fallacy, maybe the people in the middle and low-level film circles are better than the people in the TV circles, but the people in the TV circles who really hold the power are definitely more advantageous than the people in the film circles at the same level. A popular TV show, his profit is more terrifying than a popular movie, and he can wipe out all the advantages of the movie just by relying on time.
