Chapter 427 [Shocking Acquisition]

18 March 2005.

If you look closely at the traditional Chinese calendar, you will find that today is definitely an "auspicious day of the zodiac".

That's right, for Yi Feiyang, today is really a good day. Because last month's proposal for a fantasy listing has been reviewed and approved by Wall Street Financial Group, that is to say, today is the day when Dream Entertainment Group is officially listed.

For many U.S. companies, going public is a sign of rapid growth in the future. But for Dream Entertainment, it's not just about rapid development, this listing carries too many wishes and too many dreams of Dream Entertainment people. It can be said that the listing of Dream Entertainment will mark the emergence of Dream Entertainment as a super entertainment giant in the future, as well as the prototype of an aircraft carrier.

Early in the morning, media from all over the world arrived, such as New York Radio, Los Angeles Radio, London Radio, Paris Radio, as well as Asian Radio Tokyo, Radio Hong Kong, and even the mainland sent CCTV to cover and broadcast. Everyone can't wait to witness the grand occasion of the dream listing and become a witness to this grand occasion.

As the three most authoritative TV stations in the United States, they are also ready for live broadcast early in the morning.

In addition, those fans who like Yi Feiyang and Yi Feiyang automatically and spontaneously formed a celebration team, thousands of them, pulling banners "Congratulations on the listing of Dream Entertainment".

It can be said that Wall Street has never been so lively as it is today.

Everyone's eyes are focused on this place, waiting for that historic moment.

With the passage of time, Yi Feiyang appeared on Wall Street, the world-famous financial center.

His arrival. It's even bigger than the president of the United States. It also has to be imposing.

There are more than 30 bodyguards alone. In addition, many high-level executives of Dream Entertainment are also by his side, and so many people are like stars and moons, setting off Yi Feiyang more outstandingly, with more identity and status.

When Yi Feiyang appeared in front of the iconic bronze bull on Wall Street and stroked the head of the bull with his hand, all the media invariably pressed the shutter on him. Ingest the Bronze Bull and him into the lens.

"China changes hands and crushes the copper bull, and laughs proudly on Wall Street!"

"China is easy to make bold moves, stroking the copper bull and smiling!"

"Witness the birth of a billionaire, the Bronze Bull of Wall Street testifies here!"

……

In short, Yi Feiyang never thought that his inadvertent action would cause many media to speculate, Nima, he just felt that this copper bull was very spiritual, and he would have so many associations when he touched and played. Americans' brains are peculiar.

When Yi Feiyang was about to burst by the media, he was the chairman of the Wall Street financial community. Mr. Rhodespeak, a well-known financial figure, walked out.

"Hello, dear Yi, on behalf of Wall Street, I would like to welcome your Dream Entertainment Group to settle in!" Old man Rhodes was very polite and politely took the initiative to shake hands with Yi Feiyang and celebrate.

Nonsense, this young Chinese in front of him will definitely become a pivotal figure on Wall Street in the future, and if he doesn't take advantage of the good relationship now, he will not be able to sit in prison for the chairman's position.

Immediately afterwards, Wall Street tycoons and executives at all levels stepped forward one after another, shaking hands with Yi Feiyang cordially one by one, and the content of the conversation was nothing more than congratulations, in addition to hoping that there would be opportunities to cooperate in the future.

Yi Feiyang is also a person who has seen big scenes, but he is still a little reserved when he is sought after by everyone so high all of a sudden.

Americans don't care about this, in their opinion, patting sycophants is just a very fashionable social etiquette, and they have always considered themselves free and democratic, but they do not regard this as a shameless move. On the contrary, to be able to show their enthusiasm and generosity, and of course, to be extremely positive and kind.

But in the eyes of Yi Feiyang, a traditional guy, these Yankees are too capable of flattering people, with stacks of good words and chatter, some of which make you feel numb and embarrassed.

Dures, who had been by Yi Feiyang's side, seemed to see Yi Feiyang's thoughts, so he couldn't help but say in his ear: "Hey, man, you have to start getting used to this kind of pursuit, because now you have stood at the top of Hollywood, everyone has to look up to you, and there will be more such people to talk sweetly to you in the future!" ”

Yi Feiyang shrugged his shoulders and smiled: "Yes, it's time to get used to it, but I think all this is coming too quickly, at least, I'm not mentally ready!" ”

Dures smiled: "When Napoleon was emperor, he also said this to the people around him, it seems that you are very similar!" ”

"Napoleon?" Yi Feiyang, it seems that that guy is not a tyrant.

……

When Yi Feiyang's Dream Entertainment was officially listed on Wall Street, the sound of firecrackers sounded around.

The sudden sound of firecrackers frightened everyone, and those media reporters were even more commotional, thinking that they had encountered some terrible incident. But soon, they realized that it was just a traditional Chinese way of celebrating.

But in front of Wall Street, firecrackers rang out, drums shook the sky, and around the world-famous bronze bull statue, the dragon and lion dance teams showed their own unique skills, showing the charm of traditional Chinese celebrations.

Although the dragon and lion dances have been performed in many American Chinatowns, there are still many Americans who have never seen such a vivid and interesting performance, so the big guys all watch it with relish, and even the guys on Wall Street who are bent on drilling into the eyes of money can't help but applaud.

Applause, cheers, from time to time; Coupled with the sonorous sound of gongs and drums, the entire Wall Street has completely become a sea of joy, an ocean worth remembering for the Chinese.

"Hello everyone, I am a foreign correspondent of BBC TV in the United Kingdom, and this time we came to Wall Street in the United States to witness the official listing of the legendary entertainment tycoon Mr. Yi Feiyang's company! Yes, it's the scene in front of you, don't be misled by this gong and drum and dragon dance, this is indeed Wall Street, not some Chinatown! ”

"Of course. If you stop here now. You will definitely feel that Wall Street is more festive and lively than many Chinatowns at this moment! That's right. The performance was a traditional Chinese celebration program, such as the lion rolling hydrangea and the double dragon playing with pearls, as well as the doll with a hood called the Chinese head......"

"No one would have thought that the listing of a Chinese-controlled company would attract so many celebrities - look, who are we aiming at? Pop King Mike Jackson, and Robert Downey Jr. Well, who is that? Obama, the Democratic Party's most presidential-looking black rookie! No, that's business tycoon Hilton Richard, and real estate mogul Donald Trump...... God, even Microsoft's Bill Gates and Apple's Steve Jobs are here, they are out-and-out enemies, and it is a miracle that they will appear here at the same time......! ”

The reporter from the UK was foaming at the camera and introducing it, and from time to time there was an exclamation. It seems that what he photographed is very novel.

In fact, it is true that this time Dream Entertainment is officially listed on Wall Street. It attracted a lot of politicians, business circles and entertainment celebrities and big names to come to cheer.

It can be seen that Yi Feiyang's popularity is high and his friends are wide, so that the British reporter can't help but shout from time to time.

In the end, he summed up very seriously in front of the camera: "Dear audience friends, seeing all this, now I just want to say that the energy behind the magical China is enough to influence the United States!" Yes, if he is in the UK, then there is no doubt that he even has the hope of becoming the first Chinese Prime Minister of the UK! ”

Yi Feiyang, who was receiving congratulations from the big guy, never thought that he would be sought after so highly.

He has done everything in his life, but he has never thought about going into politics to be the British Prime Minister or the President of the United States, because for him, politics is another stage, and he only needs to participate in the planning and directing behind the scenes, and there is no need to play the clown to be the starring role.

……

After Fantasy Entertainment went public on Wall Street, 30 percent of its listed shares were divided into tens of thousands of shares, and they were sold out in just eight minutes.

In the eyes of many people, this entertainment empire built by the miracle god Yi Feiyang is definitely a company with the most potential for development, and if it can hold its shares, it will undoubtedly be equivalent to grabbing the golden rooster that will lay golden eggs.

It is precisely because of this that the eight-minute sales of the dream listing were sold out, once again washing the sales record of the shares of listed companies on Wall Street.

"It's a magical stock, it's a magical stock, and investors love her even more than their own children!" So said a financial figure on Wall Street.

That's right, it is precisely because of this huge magic that Fantasy Entertainment Group raised tens of billions of funds as soon as it went public, and in the following month, the total asset evaluation reached an astonishing 158 billion!

It is said that this data is still the most conservative raw data, because according to the rising stock price of Dream Entertainment, this value is still growing......

In fact, for Yi Feiyang, he is not very interested in this kind of valuation of the company after listing, because in his opinion, this kind of water is too much, for example, the former world's richest man Bill Gates, who used to have assets of 45 billion US dollars in the market, but if he really wants to take out 5 billion in one go, he can't do it! You have to cash out your shares to do that.

And Yi Feiyang, even if the company is not listed, he can come up with so much money! Because he relies on the strength accumulated by the company, not on the numbers injected into the stock!

Therefore, Yi Feiyang does not value the 150 billion, in his opinion, the company's development depends on the hard power accumulated within the company, not these empty numbers.

But in the eyes of others, he is easy to fly, as if he has become the leading 100 billion tycoon on Wall Street and even Hollywood, and the whole United States!

Yi Feiyang has become a veritable 100 billion tycoon, who cares most about this matter?

Of course, it's the gambling king Kirklian and Akio Morita.

In their opinion, the reason why Yi Feiyang chose to let the company choose to go public must be a conspiracy behind it.

Yes, there must be a conspiracy!

More cunning than a fox and crueler than a jackal, how could China Yi let the two of them go so easily?!

However, in the eyes of gambling king Kirklian and Sony Akio Morita, even if Yi Feiyang has this ambition to repay him, he can't really move them, and in terms of assets, Sony's assets are as high as 120 billion. What's more, there are hundreds of billions of assets under the gambling king Kirkrian Group......

"That China is easy to threaten us at most. We can't do anything about it! The gambling king said with confidence.

Akio Morita thinks so. Compared with assets, who is afraid of whom!

……

Dream Entertainment Group Inc.

As a newly listed group company, the whole fantasy entertainment can be said to be jubilant, because many middle and high-level executives of fantasy entertainment hold some shares of the company in their hands, and these shares have increased in value, which is happier for them than anything else.

Everyone is happy, and Yi Feiyang is also happy, but the difference is that. Yi Feiyang is not happy that the company is listed, but because "Brokeback Mountain" directed by director Ang Lee was announced by Cannes to be shortlisted for the Best Picture and Best Actor awards. And Yi Feiyang's "Havoc in Heaven" has won 23 nominations at the upcoming Academy Film Festival as the best foreign language film.

An unprecedented nomination!

You say, can there be anything that makes Yi Feiyang happier than this?!

However, before participating in the Oscars, Yi Feiyang has one more thing that must be done, that is, to declare war against Colombia and MGM!

Acquisition wars, to be precise!

Yi Feiyang was born to be a person who will repay him, and he will engrave it in his heart when others give him favors, and he will remember it firmly when he is humiliated.

Colombia and MGM, we have to give them a little bit of color. Let the gambling kings Kirkrian and Sonny Morita Akio who are hiding behind them know that he Yi Feiyang is not so easy to bully!

When at a press conference held by Dream Entertainment. When Yi Feiyang officially announced that Dream Entertainment Group would spend $20 billion to acquire MGM and Columbia, two old Hollywood companies, everyone laughed and thought it was impossible.

Yes, not to mention how powerful MGM and Colombia are, just to say that the two big backers behind them, the Japanese Sony and the gambling king family, this alone is unshakable.

"Yi, aren't you kidding?"

"Yi, is this your real decision?"

"Yi, why are you doing this?"

……

Those media reporters asked questions one after another, in this regard, Yi Feiyang just smiled and said: "First of all, this is not a joke, secondly, this is my prudent decision, and finally, because I think Hollywood should reshuffle!" ”

Domineering!

Assertive!

And ambition!

Yi Feiyang's short three sentences directly stunned everyone on the scene.

This is no joke!

It's true!

China wants to buy Colombia and MGM!

Oh my God, that's awesome!

When these reporters came back to their senses and wanted to continue to ask questions, Yi Feiyang didn't give them a chance, he waved his hand and turned to leave.

The entire press conference lasted 8 minutes and 21 seconds!

It is also the shortest press conference held by Yi Feiyang in history, and it is also the most amazing press conference.

……

"Do you still have MGM and Columbia stock? Then you are developed, you can sell it to Dream Entertainment as soon as possible! ”

"Dream Entertainment is about to make a forced takeover of MGM and Columbia, and Wall Street is aggressively raising the stock price!"

"The stock market is changing, and China wants to wash Wall Street in blood!"

Various media have made the latest reports on Yi Feiyang's press conference, especially Yi Feiyang's public announcement of the acquisition of MGM and Columbia, which made many Wall Street people very confused.

You must know that when many companies acquire another company, they will deliberately conceal the news to prevent leakage, so as not to cause stock appreciation and increase the difficulty of acquisition, but Yi Feiyang did the opposite, which can make all financial people dumbfounded, I really don't understand whether this guy doesn't understand financial economics, or sees Wall Street as a paper tiger, and he can act arbitrarily.

Also unable to understand this is Sony's Akio Morita, how he can't figure out why Yi Feiyang did this. He has imagined many times that Yi Feiyang will secretly acquire the assets of his company like a thief, so he has set up all kinds of obstacles to fight back with an absolute counterattack. In the end, the opponent stole the chicken and did not lose the rice, and the flowers flowed.

But now...... Akio Morita's brain is a little insufficient, could it be that this China Yi is a fool?!

Compared to Akio Morita's inexplicable, I can't understand. The gambling king Kirklian has become more and more vigilant. He has been in the gambling industry for many years, and has seen a lot of life gambling, and he absolutely believes that this China Yi is not a fool and will not know how to acquire a company, but the other party's public announcement of not taking the usual path directly caused MGM's stock price to soar, which made Kirklian a little uneasy.

Have you ever been on a roller coaster?

That huge ups and downs and huge drops can drive you crazy and make you scream.

Kirklian suspects that China Yi is playing roller coaster!

……

Fantasy Entertainment Investment Department.

Dozens of computers are working. As the traders of the investment department, they are all crazy busy. On the big screen in the middle, directly connected to the stock price of Wall Street, a series of numbers, constantly changing, make you dazzled.

Yi Feiyang calmly drank tea, looked at the quotation on the screen, and Alex, the manager of the investment department next to him, carefully made data statistics. And opposite Yi Feiyang, he also drank...... If you are an American, if you like to read financial magazines, if you are interested in Jing Rong, then you must be no stranger to him, he is the world's financial predator - Soros!

"Yi, I didn't expect us to cooperate one day!"

"Thank you for supporting my plan so much, without you, I really don't know how to hoard so many MGM and Columbia stocks!"

"Haha, how can I not support a plan that can make money? I just don't know how long those guys will be able to withstand it? Soros smiled proudly, he began to cooperate with Yi Feiyang three years ago, and began to secretly buy the shares of Migomi and Colombia in the market, and over time, he has already hoarded a lot, and now it seems that he is really going to make a lot of money.

"We deliberately inflated the stock price to make their stock index soar to the sky, and we have already hoarded a lot of their shares in our hands, and when the time comes, we will get huge profits! The most important thing is that when everyone finds out that there are so many stocks released in the market, it will cause panic, and the stock index that was originally soaring will immediately fall......" Yi Feiyang said as he played with his teacup.

"Yes, if it falls, then the shares of MGM and Columbia will be worthless, and you can buy them without much effort, my dear!" Soros smiled excitedly, "Yi, they said you were a little fox, it really didn't look wrong!" I even used the stock market as a playground! ”

"No way, who let them offend me?" Yi Feiyang narrowed his eyes, "And I'm good at everything, but it's easy to hold grudges!" ”

"Aha, a man who holds a grudge is terrible, especially if someone as smart as you is, it's even more terrifying! Thankfully, I'm not your enemy! Soros trembled exaggeratedly, as if he was really frightened by Yi Feiyang.

The corners of Yi Feiyang's mouth curled, "Is it terrible?" I've been planning for three years, and this is the day I've been waiting for! (To be continued......)

ps: This book is basically finished, although there are still many shortcomings, but it has been supported by everyone, here I would like to say thank you!
