Chapter 1724: Frontier
The idea of laying out the energy industry came about after Han Xuan was worth more than $500 billion.
Other industries have almost completed the layout, and there is money in his hand, so he began to shift his attention to the oil and gas fields, the Middle East is intervened by various forces, and he does not want to mix the muddy waters, so he chose Siberia, the Far East, and the northwest and south of the European part of Russia with rich oil and gas resources as strategic development areas.
He already has a super large mine associated with gold, silver, and copper, and ordinary small minerals can't get into his eyes, and he is a little interested in diamond mines in Africa, but the profits in the mining link are limited.
Coupled with the recent introduction of diamond smuggling to Western countries, many people began to spontaneously refuse to buy diamonds, calling it "blood diamonds", Han Xuan has long known that the diamond industry is not clean, and after thinking about it, he finally chose the investment target as oil and gas fields.
In addition to the reason why he is hoarding oil and gas fields now and can sit back and wait for appreciation in the near future, the reason for interfering in this industry is more that Han Xuan has recently begun to subconsciously try to prove that he can achieve commercial success even without the experience of his previous life.
China, Japan, South Korea and other countries in East Asia are all oil-poor countries, and the market demand is huge, so it will be much more convenient to transport them from Siberia, but the initial investment is relatively large, and Han Xuan thinks that with his own strength, he can get a piece of the pie from the existing interest groups in Europe and the United States, and no matter how bad it is, it can cooperate with those large oil companies.
This project has just begun, and like the mineral investment in the Republic of Mongolia, it has not been effective in five years, and today Han Xuan only cares about Time Warner Group......
The heads of various departments, including the public relations department of Snow Mountain Group, rushed to listen to Han Xuan, executive Anthony and others discuss how to initiate the acquisition of Time Warner Group.
The company is at a crisis juncture, and the market value of a large number of companies has fallen by the Federal Reserve in the past two or three years.
In the face of a company with a market value of hundreds of billions of dollars, and it also controls nearly 20 percent of the US media channels, everyone here has a headache, and with the current liquidity of more than 6 billion US dollars, it has a strong ability to resist risks.
Even if according to Han Xuan's idea, the stock price of Time Warner Group is successfully suppressed, how to buy shares from those shareholders is also a big problem worth considering, if after acquiring a part of the shares, but the development is not enough, it can only be suppressed by the largest shareholder with voting rights everywhere, it is a joke.
……
The meeting has been going on for a while.
At this moment, Han Xuan sat down next to the huge oval conference table and said: "If you do it simply, you will definitely encounter strong resistance, people feel that our company is already very big, and they don't want to see our power continue to grow."
Now, we should be talking about how to get through the FBA hurdle, and who has a good idea about how to get the forces from trying to stop us from forcibly buying Time Warner? ”
"There's nothing to do, so I think we should borrow a shell company for the acquisition, or use a middleman to help.
Although it will cost a lot of money to get the middleman to help, it will save a lot of unnecessary trouble, and we can just hide behind the scenes. ”
Executive Anthony thought about it, and then said again: "That can't hide from someone's eyes, they'll find out about us."
At that time, you only need to convince some people and give them enough benefits to make them understand that after Time Warner Group is acquired by you, it will also be beneficial to themselves, so that there will be much less resistance.
There will be a certain amount of loss in the early days, but it will be worth it in the long run, and what you have paid will be recouped in the end.
I'd suggest waiting until you're ready to be aggressive about the negative news about Time Warner, because the lower its value, the more money you'll save when it comes to buying.
However, we must be prepared to prevent Time Warner from using their propaganda channels to retaliate against us.
If it hadn't been for the idea that we were trying to buy a stake in Time Warner, we could have spread the word in the shadows, but now that it's impossible, they must know that we were doing it.
You have to get enough allies, and I think it's a good idea to talk to the enemies of Time Warner. ”
Han Xuan listened with a smile and told: "It's similar to what I think, my peers are enemies, I believe that News Corporation and Viacom Group will definitely be happy to see Time Warner Group bad, the lost reputation, the lost market value may not be recovered for several years, and they can take the opportunity to seize the market that now belongs to Time Warner Group."
These are very beneficial to those companies, and I believe they will not mind handing over the down-and-out Time Warner Group to me, which is good for both of us, and I don't mind that when I take control of Time Warner Group, it will not be as strong as it is now.
They are all hungry wolves who kill people without blinking, you can guess without thinking about it, this time they will extort a lot of money, it is really troublesome, or invest in those small companies to save trouble......"
Over the next few days, the Nasdaq recovered more than 120 points after four days of climbing.
Investors just thought that a storm had passed and a good time to buy the bottom had come, but half an hour after the opening of trading on the morning of December 13, the Nasdaq index fell back to a new bottom, and hundreds of billions of dollars of funds quickly evaporated.
A few days ago, Han Xuan successfully cashed out more than $42 billion, and there are still many shares in his position, but he is already satisfied, and has reduced the intensity of selling, there are too many outstanding shares on the market, which will cause trouble in the future, and he does not want to cause greater losses in the future because of his immediate interests.
He has been busy in recent days, mainly about Time Warner Group, and when it was really implemented, Han Xuan knew how much resistance there was.
As the largest media group in the United States, the power of this company is all over the political and business circles, if it weren't for the huge interests that exist in it, even the old Soros would not want to provoke it, but this time in the end he couldn't help it and promised Han Xuanhui to help.
Han Xuan felt that he was ready, and he united many powerful interest groups...... Short Time Warner Group together!
As early as yesterday, Time Warner, who noticed that the wind was not in the right direction, used its TV station to announce the news that Han Xuan had sold a large number of Internet industry stocks, probably because it was unwilling to wait for the catastrophe to come, so it began to fight back.
However, Han Xuan didn't care, last night he also used the old man's ABC TV station to announce a report on a new round of Internet speed-up, on his personal Weibo @Time Warner Group official public account, with a line of text saying: "If you don't buy new equipment from Cisco, the market value may drop by half, it's already too far behind, and it's hard to catch up." ”
This morning, Destiny, o and other companies fell sharply, and Time Warner Group's stock fell to a circuit breaker within ten minutes of the market opening!
A large group of people were stunned when they saw this! The directors of Time Warner Group who fell doubt life!
Among them is Han Xuan himself......
