Chapter 479: Mindset Change
The itinerary will be particularly tight in the near future.
Norris's team gave Sean a rough idea of the country he would need to go to for the next six months.
Lithuania, Northern Ireland, England, Malay, ***, Zimbabwe, South Africa...... The journey spans hundreds of thousands of miles.
So, the life of a rich person is really not so easy to do, and it is not easy at all.
"How are you going to arrange the source of funds for investment," Shen Bi sat opposite Sean and asked with a solemn expression.
"Huh?" Sean was stunned by Shen Bi's question, blinking his eyes, he seemed to realize something, a little uncertain, and a little scared, and asked tentatively in a low voice: "Sean Bank, didn't you say that we are very rich now?"
"I fucking know!" Shen Bi rolled his eyes widely, "I fucking knew you didn't even calculate."
"Sean Bank's money is creditworthiness, you know, there are only two ways to spend that money, lending to companies that are in our circulatory system, or investing in valuable fixed assets!"
For example, investing in a team and land in New York is a safe investment for Americans who have a credit card at Sean Bank, and it has good prospects for retaining its value, so it's no problem!"
"But that doesn't mean you can spend this money on a place like Lithuania, you know?"
"You tell the Americans that you can make money by investing in the Soviets' turf and that you can control a country, and they fucking believe it, but they can only see the United States itself, and they don't necessarily believe it if it is Europe."
"Besides, as soon as the Soviet Union collapses, confidence in the investment market will be hit, and credit assets are supported by confidence, not that we really have that much money!" Shen Bi gritted his teeth, "Besides, if Lithuania's investment wants to recover its costs, five years or ten years!"
Uh...... This may take a long time, and the investment will be continuous, and it will be a fixed asset...... Let's go." The corners of Sean's mouth twitched.
Shen Bi squinted at Sean and didn't speak.
"Okay, okay, then I'll invest my own money, what about my own funds, you're not going to tell me that I don't have any money, right?" Sean frowned and looked at Shen Bi.
"You have money, of course you have money, and you are worth tens of billions." Shen Bi spread his hands with a wicked look on his face and said, "But, that doesn't mean you have a lot of cash."
"No, my money." Sean suddenly became anxious, and reached out to clasp Shen Bi's thigh, if he didn't know that Shen Bi didn't have the courage to embezzle his funds, he would have been suspicious, "I just fucking got back a hundred and a few hundred billion."
"You don't have a lot of cash." Shen Bi smiled wickedly: "The biggest income is in Southeast Asia, but all the assets given by those Chinese families are fixed assets, and these assets are now pressed by the Asian Investment Bank, and now those investments in the east are all borrowed from other banks after being pledged with assets by the Asian Investment Bank."
"Your source of cash is the proceeds from the looting of Pablo and then the proceeds from the robbery of the Japanese."
"That's not called robbery!" Sean emphasized.
"Well, it doesn't matter, a large part of its compensation has been converted into shares, oh, by the way, you are now the largest individual shareholder of Toshiba Storage, Toshiba Computer, congratulations." Shen Bi clapped his hands cracklingly.
"Coupled with the 500 million that Lao Li transferred to you, the total cash you got before was less than 3 billion."
Sean: "......"
Shit Pablo, blow up such a large sum of cash, and in the end, the three families have one point, and there is not much left in Sean's hands.
Then remove the cost of labor and ammunition consumed by the operation on the umbrella side, and in particular, if you want to cut grace, you will be angry.
"3 billion, it's a lot, even the fucking burn didn't burn out so quickly!" Sean asked through gritted teeth.
"Oh, by the way, do you know how much you control in New Century Media?" Shen Bi suddenly changed the subject and asked.
Sean let out a "uh" sound and shook his head to indicate that he didn't know.
You keep injecting money
Under the dual operation of gold dilution and the acquisition of shares in the hands of minority shareholders, you now control 98% of the shares of New Century Media, the only super large company in the United States with a valuation of more than 10 billion yuan that is completely controlled by one person."
"A comprehensive station, a news station, a sports station, an entertainment station, 128 local stations, 236 secondary affiliated stations, the broadcast range covers the whole United States, even half of Canada, half of Mexico, and the business scope covers North and South America, tsk!"
Shen Bi stretched out his hand and put it in front of Sean to make an interview, "Come, tell me how you feel in your heart."
Sean: "......"
This order was given to management after the initial completion of the acquisition, but he really didn't know it had come to this point.
Feeling, it's weird.
It's really a real word.
But he can be sure that there is absolutely no kindness in Shen Bi's mouth when he asks this kind of thing, this is an old man with a bad mouth.
Therefore, Sean tilted his head to look at this guy, and suddenly grinned, and Shen Bi, who was laughing, frowned.
Then I heard Sean say to himself: "I have a big plan, I discussed it with Murdoch a few days ago, English football needs to be in trouble, they need to be saved."
Shen Bi immediately sat up straight as if he had a spring, and looked at Sean with wide eyes.
"My plan is to bring together all the clubs in League One and Northern Ireland to form a Premier League, a league that is independent of the FA and Football League, and has its own rights to negotiate broadcasts and sponsors, and Sky TV and the TV station I will soon set up in the UK will win the rights to broadcast the Premier League."
"We will promote this new English Premier League throughout Europe, Southeast Asia, Africa and South America, so that the Premier League will be the best in the world, with the most luxurious stadiums, with the most stars, the widest range of broadcasts, and the league with the most fans, no one!"
"What do you think of this plan?"
"Sean!! Shen Bi grabbed Sean's arm, and the old man's whole face turned red with excitement.
His whole family is Arsenal fans, starting with his grandfather!
The Premier League has gone downhill in recent years, which makes Shen Bi very worried, and now listening to Sean say this, Shen Bi wants to be the whole person,
Burn, up, come, it's up!!
"But......" Sean pulled a long tone and looked at Shen Bi with a look of regret, "I don't have any money, this plan requires a large investment, it may ......."
"Nothing!" Shen Bi stood up suddenly, as if flames were burning on his body, waved his arms, and said in an impassioned tone, "You are rich, very rich, and no one can stop your plan, no!!"
Woohoo ha
People, after all, have a weakness!
Shen Bi sat down next to Sean again, and the old man in his 60s had a flattering smile on his face, "Sean, listen to me, the development of New Century Media has reached this point and has reached a bottleneck, it can't go on like this, you want to control everything, it's no problem, but the public opinion channel is firmly in your hands, which will make many people feel uneasy and nervous."
"Although in fact you don't do much out of the ordinary with New Century Media, but just stand up for yourself from time to time, politicians and other big capitalists don't think so, you should let go of a little bit of stake and bring in a group of people."
"There is a saying in the north that says very well, we must unite all the forces that can be united, so that there are many friends and few enemies."
"You are no longer the same person you used to be, whether it is New Century Media, ports and shipping networks all over the world, and then to the umbrella, you have stood on the top of the world, and there is Rockefeller behind you, and the President of the United States, you don't need to have such a strong sense of crisis as before."
"In this world, there are no more people who can pose a threat to you!"
None left?
Sean was a little dazed by this sentence, and has traveled to this world for many years, from a pizza shop waiter who is being called around to pointing to a country
The king scolded, he, it seems that it is indeed different.
Indeed, no one can threaten themselves anymore!
Even if the British government intervenes, it can only cause some small troubles to itself, and the so-called victory or defeat is just some economic interests.
It's really different!
"Let go a little?" Sean raised an eyebrow.
"Let go a little!" Shen Bi nodded.
Sean tilted his head to look at the old man Shen Bi, and suddenly asked with a smile, "Why didn't you take other people's money to come to me as a lobbyist, did you?"
Shen Bi: !!
"Hahaha, just kidding, we're best friends!" Sean laughed and stopped Shen Bi's shoulder.
"But you can't just sell your shares so easily."
"Would you consider going public?" Shen Bi looked at Sean, "My suggestion is to go public, although the listing will encounter relatively strict scrutiny, and the company's policies must also be announced to the outside world and be supervised by shareholders, but this also binds the company and shareholders, and shareholders will spontaneously help you promote it, and will spontaneously safeguard the interests of the company."
"Because you are one, even if there is an economic crisis, even if something happens, the U.S. government has enough people to support you when it wants to save you."
Sean frowned, listing or something, in his opinion, it was a circle of money and leeks, and he didn't know how this impression was engraved in his heart.
Xu was cut miserably in his previous life.
"Wait, there's no hurry." In the end, Sean still rejected the plan, after all, this is the United States, and the money in the circle does not mean that he can invest it wherever he wants.
Shen Bi shrugged, he had guessed that Sean would refuse, but it didn't matter, as long as Sean agreed to attract other powerful shareholders in, then the new century would usher in a wave of great development, and it was not so urgent to go public.
"What are your plans?" Sean looked at Shen Bi.
"You should ask Pete Chernin for details, I'm just giving you advice, the media group is controlled by Pitt." Shen Bi shrugged and said, "Many people have expressed their interest in New Century Media shares."
"How did I not know?" Sean asked, confused.
"Heh, of course you want to test the meaning of this kind of transaction, this kind of temptation can't find you directly, if you reject it, it's not that there is no hope at all, you must find Pete first!" Shen Bi smiled and said, "Are you like other tycoons like you, doing things so simply and rudely!"
"I call it efficiency!" Sean retorted, "It's because of my efficiency that I have been able to grow to this extent in such a short period of time!"
The corners of Shen Bi's mouth twitched, heh, are you calling efficiency, you are threatening and intimidating!
I don't even bother to expose you!
"Okay, I'll go back and ask Pete about this, don't you expect me to sell my shares in New Century?" Sean squinted at Shen Bi.
"Haha, of course not, I just told you by the way." Shen Bi smiled and said, "Aren't you planning to give the Malays a good look, and are planning to make Sarawak independent?"
Sean nodded.
Shen Bi shook his head and said with a smile, "The Malays must regret that they have provoked you, although I don't know if you can succeed, but no matter what, they will go crazy."
"The solution I give you is very simple, use your assets in Southeast Asia to go to Malaysia for a loan, lend ringgit, and then convert it into US dollars, when you start the plan, once Sarawak is divided, hehe, modern money is credit currency, Malay ringgit will definitely dive big, then you can exchange ringgit to pay back......
"It's better to short another wave of ringgit in the international financial market, at least there is no problem in supporting you to get the English football plan right."
"Damn, you're so vicious!" Sean was completely shocked, and looked at Shen Bi with his mouth wide open, "If you want to be vicious, you have to be those of you who are engaged in finance."
"What do you call me vicious?" Shen Bi was suddenly unhappy, "Make it clear, it's you who want to split in Malaysia, not me.
Sean grimaced
said: "English Premier Soccer League!"
"Okay, okay, I'm vicious, I'm not good at being vicious!" Shen Bi had a constipated expression on his face, and Sean laughed out loud.
Being reminded by Shen Bi like this, Sean diverged his thinking, and suddenly thought of taking the British Empire, he could still go to the British to get some loans, and after pulling Soros to short a wave, not to mention how much money he earned, at least the interest can be fully offset.
Of course, there is no need to tell Shen Bi about this.
Just then I was going to go to the UK to buy a TV station, and I talked to Major by the way.
After all, there is no inextricable contradiction between himself and the British Empire, and if he invests and contributes to the British economy, I believe that Major and the British bankers will not refuse.
Right!
Sean laughed twice, Shen Bi naturally didn't know what bad idea Sean had made, and said endlessly: "Collateral, you still have a lot of choice, such as motorcycle factories in Sri Lanka, several power stations in Sri Lanka."
Sean sighed, "Fake, I haven't cared about it for years, you don't say I forgot about it, how is it now?"
Shen Bi glanced at Sean speechlessly, "I don't know what kind of management method you have, but I heard that the development is indeed good, and the products are exported to Southeast Asia."
Sean's eyes lit up, "We call it inaction, water conservancy in the world without fighting, the world can not compete with it!"
In Shen Bi's disdainful gaze, Sean beckoned Lorraine to come over, and sure enough, where did the secretary team have a detailed report.
Sean looked through it and laughed, he used all the advice he gave at the beginning, and it was really good.
The products are not only motorcycles, but also various types of tricycles, with and without sheds, which can pull more than 2 tons of goods when the road conditions are good.
In this era, how much is a family car, and how much is a three-wheeled motorcycle that can not only seat people but also pull goods!
Low fuel consumption, cheap and easy to use, simple maintenance, small and exquisite, not picky.
It is especially suitable for walking through the narrow slums full of waterlogged roads and bad conditions, and is a good hand at pulling people and goods.
It is these tricycles that have opened the market of Asan and Southeast Asia, and they are really selling well in Southeast Asia, including Hong Kong Island, with more than 100,000 units exported last year, with an export value of more than 400 million US dollars, and it is the first star enterprise and star industry in Sri Lanka!
Sri Lanka's GDP was only $6 billion four years ago, and the upstream and downstream industries driven by this motorcycle factory alone have created a GDP of more than $1.5 billion!
This is also the reason why President Sri Lanka was so firmly on Sean's side before.
Sri Lanka has really developed well in recent years, otherwise President Sri Lanka would not have the idea of changing X to be re-elected.
To get back to the point, according to the current valuation of this motorcycle manufacturer, it can borrow $500 million from Malaysia, which is indeed enough for Sean to set up all the stalls in the UK.
"My motorcycle company is so profitable, so why don't I see a profit?" Sean flipped through the report and asked with a puzzled expression.
"If you see profits, then the IRS should come to you to collect taxes, and all the money you make is invested locally in Sri Lanka." Shen Bi replied instead of Lorraine: "The initial production line output was only a lot, and now it produces 300,000 vehicles a year, can it be the same?"
"Alright, alright." Sean nodded, "Since you want a loan, let's get a little more, Sri Lanka also has power companies, port companies, and land ......."
"Stop, stop, stop!" Shen Bi hurriedly stopped Sean, who was constantly thinking, "Don't you think it's suspicious to take out so many properties to take out loans in Malaysia?"
"If you're too greedy, it's only suspicious!"
"Uh......" Sean slammed his mouth with a look of regret.
These days, it's really hard to make some money.
Sean sighed heavily.
"Okay, how much money I have left, let's talk about it." Sean said a little listlessly, "There are still 1.3 billion cash flows that can be used, but I don't think it's enough for you to swing
How long has it been?"
"If you want to stir up Malay separatism, you can't invest any money, you know, rebellion is not that easy."
"It's not that hard." Sean pouted, "The Malay system makes the local power itself very large, and having its own leadership team can be upgraded as a whole, which is nothing more than helping them form a regular army."
"Sarawak has a total population of only about 2 million, and the regular army has a maximum of 20,000, but I don't need to draw my guns to be armed, I can help them garrison for a while at most, and stop the West Malaysians who want to make trouble."
"And thenโ" Sean said as he suddenly froze, his brow furrowed slowly, and he looked up for a long time and said, "It really costs a lot of fucking money!"
"Lao Tzu is here to make money, but after all, he still has to invest!" As he spoke, Sean turned his head to look at Shen Bi, "Has the oil rig department that Husky split off from?"
I don't know why I asked this again, Shen Bi was stunned, "Not yet, those Canadians don't want to go to Xingcheng."
The current Xingcheng is not the Xingcheng of the future.
"If you don't want to, let them go!" Sean waved his hand impatiently, "Let's speed up over there."
"Not only that, you are going to develop near South Africa, and after occupying those properties, don't you need to invest in development!" Shen Bi continued to ask, "You must know that the broken place is the forbidden area of God's oblivion, and the mine is not worth anything at all, because you can't transport things out at all!"
"When the time comes, there will be a place for you to spend your money!"
Sean raised his hand and scratched his cheek, shaking his hand a little irritably, "Forget it, let's talk about it then, if it doesn't work, I'll take out a loan, it was the old man who instigated me to go, he can't watch."
After a few more days of delay in the United States, on February 25, the same day that Mrs. Chamorro was elected the first female president of Nicaragua, Sean arrived in Warsaw, Poland, with information from the CIA.
If it had been a year ago, Sean would not have dared to enter Poland with such a swagger, and Poland at that time was a socialist system.
But that's no longer the case.
After getting off the plane, there was already a convoy waiting for Sean at the airport.
Ever since Sean was planning to open up the situation in Lithuania and do a pilot, the team around him has been preparing for everything from a place to live in Warsaw, to the need for a vehicle and a legal gun certificate.
As a big man from the Celestial Empire, the security team around Sean can naturally get the qualification to hold guns.
Got into the convoy and headed all the way to the border with Lithuania, where he met with Vilna, the head of the Lithuanian Ministry of Economic Planning.
For Sean, a kind-hearted person from a civilized society who is well-intentioned and ready to help the development of backward Lithuania, Lithuania is still very welcome in all aspects.
It's just that it hasn't officially declared independence yet, so it's inconvenient for Sean to land the plane directly in the capital Vilnius.
This time, Sean arrived, not only to talk about various investment issues, but also to be invited to participate in the Lithuanian Declaration of Independence and support them.
"Mr. Sean, you are welcome to Lithuania."
"Mr. Werner, on behalf of a free and democratic civilized society, I welcome the return of Lithuanians to the embrace of civilization." Sean smiled and shook hands with each other, representing the people of the world by the way.
"This will be a new life for Lithuania, we firmly believe it!" Werner exclaimed.
"Yes, Lithuania, which has thrown off its burdens, will surely embark on the road of rejuvenation with the help of civilized society, and it is with this attitude that I have come, and I believe that there will be more people with good intentions to help Lithuania develop."
"Thank you, Mr. Sean, for your trust and help to Lithuania."
After a flurry of official statements, Sean pulled Werner into his car, well, safe.
After getting into the car, Sean took a document from Norris and handed it to Werner, "This is a contract, and after signing, you will hold 5% of the shares of Vilnius Bank through an overseas company."
"Mr. Sean, you're such a generous person.
