Just when the media was in an uproar, Gu Chen was methodically arranging the next actions, first of all, to show the equity book to the board of directors of all the companies that he had acquired shares, because each stock he acquired exceeded 5% of the total share capital of the issuing company, which fully met the equity standard for appointing directors, and he even became the second largest shareholder after the largest shareholder in several companies.

And then John? Barroman began to buy stocks or shares of well-known companies in the world, including South Korea's Samsung Group, South Korea's Hyundai Motor, Japan's Toyota, Japan's Honda Motor, Japan's Fuji Bank, Japan's Sony Corporation, Germany's Siemens AG, etc., most of these companies were requested by Gu Chen, and a small part was John? Barroman analyzes it as promising.

In terms of equity, Gu Chen does not have rigid requirements for these companies, whether it is a purchase in the circulation market or a private acquisition by contacting shareholders, he only wants to grasp as many shares as possible, and does not seek the right to operate the company. In fact, he knows very well that many of these companies he has his eye on are well-known and even leading enterprises in their respective countries, and their countries will definitely not allow these companies to be easily controlled by foreign forces.

Of course, his acquisitions are not all large companies, such as the United States Cisco Systems such a small company with unlimited potential is the object of his focus, after several contacts, Tang Dynasty Investment Company in the form of venture capital to Cisco Systems Inc. 20 million US dollars, from Santi? Mr. and Mrs. Lerner acquired 70% of Cisco Systems' shares, and $20 million is just a drop in the bucket compared to Cisco's future market value. Lerner is undoubtedly a huge sum of money.

It is important to know that the current Cisco has only been established for more than two years. No one has discovered the value it contains, and perhaps in their eyes, Gu Chen is a stupid hat with a lot of money, although they are very confident in the prospects of their company. But $20 million is not a small amount in this day and age.

As more and more companies he owned, large sums of dollars were spent like flowing water, and he didn't care about it, and even the more he spent, the happier he became, because the money spent would bring him a return of more than ten times or hundreds of times in the future.

"Boss, are you sure you want to buy that Italian sports car manufacturer in full ownership? As far as I know, that sports car manufacturer has been resold several times. Clearly, the outlook is not very good. "John? Barroman was curious about what Gu Chen liked about that sports car manufacturer.

"Being resold a few times doesn't mean the prospects are bad. Also, don't you think the Lamborghini logo is very powerful? I'm sure it will shine brightly one day. ”

John? Barroman admits that the Lamborghini logo looks pretty cool, but he doesn't see what it has to do with buying or not buying. But since Gu Chen insisted, he just did it: "Okay, I'll start this matter tomorrow, do you have any other orders?" ”

John? Barroman now respects and adores Gu Chen from the bottom of his heart. The requirements for Gu Chen have always been implemented unscrupulously.

He groaned. Gu Chen said: "How much equity do we hold in BMW now? ”

Since there are so many companies that need to buy shares in recent times, John? Barroman couldn't say exactly how much each company holds, but he looked through the information before saying: "BMW doesn't have a lot of shares in the market, and so far we have only bought 5.3% of the total share capital, which is almost the limit of what can be acquired in the market." ”

Only 5.3%, Gu Chen couldn't help frowning, and said: "I am very optimistic about the prospects of BMW. And I personally like the BMW brand, so you try to get in touch with the shareholders of BMW. Let's see if we can buy a stake in BMW from them, it doesn't matter if you spend more, try to get a controlling stake in BMW. He has a soft spot for BMW, otherwise he would not have agreed to be BMW's image spokesperson, and now that the endorsement contract has expired, he directly hit BMW.

John? Baroman seemed to know something about BMW, and said helplessly: "Although I am also BMW, it is almost impossible to control BMW, first of all, BMW is one of the famous car brands in Germany, even if an acquisition agreement is reached with shareholders, it takes a lot of effort to get the German government to approve it, of course, if the boss is German, this is not a problem." Secondly, BMW's largest shareholder is the German Kwalter family, although this family is very low-key, but its strength is undoubted, it controls many large German enterprises, and it is very difficult, almost impossible, to get a controlling stake in BMW from it. ”

"If you really want to control a car company, I think you can consider a British car company, in recent years, British car companies have been in a recession, most of them are in a state of loss, and you are a Hong Kong person, there is no resistance to controlling a British company in terms of the government."

Listened to John? Barroman's words, Gu Chen also felt that he was taking it for granted, how could a fast-growing car company like BMW not have the support of a large consortium, it was obvious that the idea of acquiring BMW could only be put on hold, but he was interested in John? Barroman's suggestion later aroused interest, Rolls-Royce, Jaguar, Land Rover, these luxury car brands that he was familiar with in his previous life all originated in the United Kingdom, and it seems a good idea to take advantage of the current downturn in the British automobile industry to buy these brands and then combine them into a new group company.

So he nodded and said, "Well, you can get me a detailed information about the British car manufacturer, and I'll read it and then decide." ”

"Okay, in just two days, I think I'll be able to get the information you need." John? Baroman has always been confident in his ability to do his job.

After leaving the Tang Dynasty to invest, Gu Chen came to the tea restaurant where he made an appointment with Huo Yingdong, just like last time, Huo Yingdong had already arrived in advance, he just walked into the private room under the leadership of the waiter, Huo Yingdong stood up with a smile and shook his hand: "Sure enough, it is a hero out of a teenager, this time the stock market crash in the United States has swept the world, and even the Hong Kong stock market has been greatly affected, but I didn't expect Gu Sheng to be quietly plotting, and he was a blockbuster after the most scandal, and he knocked the Yankees hard, which is really jaw-dropping and happy." ”

"Hehe, it's just a coincidence." Gu Chen said lightly, and then went straight to the topic: "I don't know how Mr. Huo thought about it?" ”

Looking at Gu Chen's appearance, Huo Yingdong knew that the other party didn't want to talk more about the stock market crash, so he smiled and said, "I came to you today for this matter." I have thought about it during this time, and I feel that now is indeed the best time to invest in Shang-Haipu-Dong, and Gu Sheng might as well tell me your plan. ”

If it weren't for Huo Yingdong's close relationship with the mainland government, and Gu Chen didn't want to get too close to the mainland government, he could do it himself, so why bother to share the opportunity to make money with others, but since he decided to cooperate with Huo Yingdong, he naturally wouldn't repeat it, and immediately described his plan, and added later: "Building skyscrapers in a new big city like Shanghai is definitely an investment with huge appreciation potential, and it is also an image project, which can play a huge role in improving the image of Shanghai-Hai city. So it can definitely get policy support. ”

The core of Gu Chen's plan is to build a landmark skyscraper in Pu-Donglu-Jia-Zui. In this regard, Huo Yingdong pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "Gu Chen's Tang Dynasty Real Estate auctioned the 5.6 hectares of land in Queensway the day before yesterday, it should also be to build a skyscraper." ”

"Mr. Huo's eyes are like a torch, and now the properties used by my company are all rented, and they are too scattered, which is always inconvenient. And I think there is still a lot of room for appreciation in Hong Kong real estate, and I will increase my investment in Hong Kong real estate in the next few years. ”

Since the creation of Tang Dynasty Real Estate in order to cooperate with Qiu De and build Nanshan Film and Television City, Gu Chen has officially entered the real estate industry, but at that time he had limited spare funds, so he did not inject large-scale capital into Tang Dynasty Real Estate, this time he immediately injected 2 billion US dollars into Tang Dynasty Real Estate after returning from the United States for real estate investment and development, and one of the investment directions of Tang Dynasty Real Estate in the future is Hong Kong, you must know that among the top ten super-rich people in Hong Kong in the previous life, more than half of the main business projects of the rich are real estate.

This shows how big the cake is in Hong Kong's real estate, and he has no reason to turn a blind eye. As for the construction of skyscrapers in Central, which is partly for investment and partly for personal use, as he said, his company is too fragmented, one in the east and one in the west, which is very inconvenient to manage, and all of them are rented, and he is fully capable of ending this situation, so he naturally wants to solve it as soon as possible.

Another reason that is not declared is that skyscrapers are a symbol of status and status, you don't see Li Jiacheng built the Yangtze River Center in the previous life, as long as you see the Yangtze River Center towering on the shore of Victoria Harbour, the first thing that comes to everyone's mind is Li Jiacheng, the richest man in China.

Besides, the office building is the face of a company, and the Tang Dynasty company is not a small company in Hong Kong, and the face still needs to be taken care of.

Gu Chen and Huo Yingdong sat in the tea restaurant for more than two hours, and finally agreed to establish a joint venture between Tang Dynasty Real Estate and Huo Xingyetang Real Estate, a subsidiary of Huo Yingdong, to establish Pudong Development Co., Ltd., with both sides accounting for 50% of the company's shares and capital contribution ratio, and the specific amount of capital contribution and detailed plans were negotiated by the personnel of both sides later.
