After listening to engineer Boris's narration, Xu Fei understood.

In the North American broadcasting industry, there are ten giants.

One of them is called CNN, which seems to have the North American military department behind it, and often reports some first-hand news about wars and regional conflicts.

CNN has a subsidiary, North America Tower, which is mainly responsible for broadcasting stations, microwave stations, TV towers, cable installations, and leasing towers.

In 95, in order to make a lot of money, CNN reluctantly divided all its towers and packaged them to the North American Tower Company, making them independent and preparing to go public.

In 96, North American Tower Company was successfully listed, and because it did not have too many debts and had so many assets, it instantly attracted countless speculators.

Seeing that the plan was achieved, CNN immediately entrusted a group of scattered small financial institutions, one side short, one side long, and then relied on its own radio propaganda advantages, from time to time to release some smoke bombs, so that the two sides took turns to harvest in the stock market, occasionally increase leverage, and almost make money every year.

In the past three or four years, there has never been an accident, and the two sides have played more and more, the more they played, the more bold they played, and the more they played, the more careless they became.

Until one day in late '99, CNN made a mistake and failed to form a hedge with the long-term financial institutions, causing the stock to plummet......

Coincidentally, Bain & Company met a large customer and said that it was going to buy a larger shell company.

Bain, a capital company whose main business is investment, consulting, operation, and merger, has a position in the stock market, like a black meeting watching the market, taking the money, and definitely doing practical things, seeing the collapse of the tower's stock, first copy the bottom and collect it all, and at the same time use means to win the shares of major shareholders, and then trigger the stock market's 'forced suspension mechanism' in the name of 'mergers and acquisitions', and in just a few days, take control of the North American tower company.

The dazzling and smooth operation not only confused CNN, but also frightened many small financial institutions.

The situation now is.

CNN reacted and found that the baby that had been raised for three or four years was lost, and it was annoyed and angry.

"What did Bane say?"

"They said that the commission has been completed, except for providing free lifelong confidentiality and a one-year operation plan, and will no longer interfere in the affairs of the tower company,"

"Operational plan? Didn't you say that you would help arrange a CEO? ”

"They said that they can't spare manpower now, and in order to compensate TEP, they have ordered a set of corporate strategic plans worth 100,000 US dollars for the tower company."

"I think they're cowardly."

Xu Fei didn't know about the 'Bain & Company'.

But when registering an offshore company and looking for a commission agency, he was not stupid and chose a random one from the Internet.

Instead, through a search, the search for 'the world's largest'.

At that time, three company names popped up: Bain, McKinsey, and Boston International.

According to his idea, since it is a large company, it must have a certain reputation.

It turned out that the choice was not wrong, at least during the cooperation period, we were not lied.

The problem is, leaving a mess behind......

Let's go back and arrange a company of spies for Bane.

"Factory director, now at the gate of the tower company, there are many CNN reporters."

"Didn't Bane say that he would provide secrecy for both politics and business? And made up the story of 'the nephew of the major shareholder turned the tide and saved the tower', what is there to worry about? ”

"Bain reminded that he is not afraid that CNN will find evidence, but he is afraid that they will report indiscriminately and fabricate some sensational news that will cause social repercussions, after all, this side can be paraded, in case it is concerned by the North American high-level, even if Bane wants to hide it, he can't hide it."

"Makes sense......"

Xu Fei pondered for a moment, looked at the antenna erected by the large color TV in the office, and his eyes lit up, "At present, how many shares does TEP control?" ”

"North American Tower is listed with 32% public shares and 68% shareholder ownership. The public stock was bought by Bain and is currently suspended and cannot be traded. The majority shareholder was killed by Bain and helped TEP get 25% of the shares, and then Bain sat down with the second, third, and fourth shareholders to chat, increasing the shareholding to 35%. In addition, the two minority shareholders were replaced by domestic spies, receiving 1% and 1.5% respectively. ”

"In other words, both nominally and in reality, the tower is completely under the control of the TEP."

"Yes."

"Ten giants in North American broadcasting?"

"Yes, ABC, BBC, NBC, FOX ......"

"What about the other broadcasts?"

"Hardly any influence."

"That's good, you entrust Bain & Company, let them send someone to help talk, just say, in the next two years, our company's towers will be spread all over North America, at least increase to 10,000, if the broadcaster uses it, two years of rent-free, but there is a requirement, this time the tower company against CNN, we must fully support us."

"They'll definitely agree, because CNN is a competitor to them. Now that you can suppress your competitors and get two years of rent free, no one will refuse. ”

"As long as other broadcasters support us and don't relay the CNN coverage, then no one knows the inside story of the acquisition."

"Director, CNN will report."

"Are you stupid? CNN's broadcast stations, microwave stations, TV towers, cable installations, etc., are all in our hands, and we have turned it off in a targeted manner, no, we will say that it is faulty, struck by lightning, and damaged by strong winds...... Isn't CNN dumb? ”

“……”

"Working overseas, the road has to be wild, it's okay usually, and learning from Bain can also make me worry less."

“……”

"The only thing that isn't certain is whether other broadcasters will support us against CNN, after all, they also have cell towers, so we have to let Bain arrange people to talk one by one."

After Xu Fei finished speaking, he gritted his teeth, "Tell Bane that for every time we talk about one, we will provide a service fee of 100,000 US dollars, and if we can't do it, we will take the initiative to expose the inside story of the acquisition, and everyone will finish it together." ”

"Okay, director."

"Get these done, let CNN call North America Tower Dad in the future, if you are unhappy one day, just shut up the other party."

“……”

"By the way, now that the acquisition is complete, don't call me as a last resort in the future, listen to the spy, there are too many calls at home and abroad, and it is easy to provoke surveillance."

"Understood."

Xu Fei put down his phone and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Take down North American Tower, and the next step is simple.

Arrange engineers and military dogs in batches, in the name of the major shareholder TEP, to build 'towers' for the North American Tower, reach a capital increase plan, and reduce the shareholding ratio of other shareholders.

When the stock market recovers, it will pay $150 million to 'Bain' to buy back 32% of the public shares temporarily controlled by the other party, and then choose whether to privatize and delist or sell to the public.

In general, through a series of operations, it spent 250 million US dollars and many iron towers to buy a North American company with assets of 800 million US dollars and liabilities of 900 million US dollars.

Since the 'Iron Tower' is a long-term income project, it is not clear that it has lost or made a profit.

Xu Fei sat in front of the computer, pondered for a long time, and opened the email sent by James (spy), the major shareholder of TEP and the chairman of the tower.

Although TEP is still an offshore company, Bain manipulated its acquisition of North American Tower Company, injected 1 billion US dollars, with a registered capital of up to 1.15 billion, plus North American Tower Company, which has holding assets of 800 million US dollars, has met the conditions for investing in Huaxia Industrial and has also submitted an application for foreign investment.

"This nonsense foreign company has finally been confirmed."

"And TEP holding, not merger, even if the tower company has an accident, at most TEP will withdraw its shares, and it will not affect the domestic iron toy factory."

Xu Fei called up the financial forms produced by Malaysia, planning to buy metal frantically in preparation for the construction of the iron tower.

Toy Factory currently available funds:

Three batches of goods, each batch of 500,000 sets, with a total payment of 12.6 million.

The loan of 20 million yuan was redeposited and paid to the tractor manufacturer in the form of land lease, which was used to purchase building materials.

The 30 million payment paid by Jiang Tao of the military factory, as well as the land worth 20 million.

Total: 32.78 million.

Tractor manufacturing plant available funds:

The 20 million land rent of the toy factory was all used to buy building materials.

The 10 million deposit for the crawler and chassis that Lao Xu brought back was lent to the construction company.

There are currently only 250,000.

TEP Offshore Company:

$150 million, of which $100 million was used to acquire North American Tower, whose financial statements are not yet available.

The remaining 50 million US dollars, of which 12 million were converted into red banknotes, were handed over to Director Shang to register Daze Power.

The current remaining: $38 million.

Xu Fei took a pen and paper to calculate, edited a document, pasted a TEP signature at the bottom, and sent it to the little secretary.

"Contacting steel mills all over the north, our company decided to purchase steel worth 100 million red bills, divided into 10 orders, and delivered within a month. Whoever wants, or wants it all, after the early hours of tonight, began to bid for two days. If the quotation is higher than the previous quotation, it will automatically lose the bidding qualification, and if the collective price increase, the order will be cancelled. ”

"Okay, director." After the little secretary replied with the help of OICQ, he sent a document through the mailbox, "Factory director, there is a notice from the superior department that you need to see in person." ”

"Oh?" Xu Fei clicked on the email, "Several opinions and decisions on the issue of preventing the loss of secondary vocational education resources in the adjustment of the management system of secondary specialized schools. ”

"Factory director, this is Dongshan Education, sent to our company's mailbox in the morning."

"It's wrong, we are a factory, not a secondary school."

"I asked, and they said they were sure it was sent to us."

"What do you mean? Zeng Dahe's father-in-law, as soon as he ascended, he couldn't help but want to cross the line to rectify me? ”

Xu Fei pursed his lips and deleted the file with his hand.

'In the past, when you were in quarantine and inspection, I might have been worried and worried, but now although you are promoted, you are running to engage in education, is it possible that you can still force me to memorize classical Chinese? ’

Before the thought fell, the phone rang.

It is the private number of the leaders of Dongshan Development and Reform.

"Crooked, Uncle Liang?"

"Let me ask you, where are the teachers and principals of Gucheng County Secondary School?!"

"I don't know, what's wrong?"

"What's wrong? It's been two weeks since classes were closed! ”

"So serious?"

"Don't pretend to be confused with me, I have the contact information of the principal of the secondary school."

“……”

"A certain newly promoted education leader made a big fuss about this matter and sent it to the capital, but fortunately I learned in advance and operated the ......."

"What did you say, I didn't hear clearly?"

“……”

"In short, the above decision has been changed, and there will be no punishment for your enterprise, but will encourage and support social groups, enterprises and industry organizations to establish or manage secondary professional schools in the form of joint schooling, contracting schooling, and joint school construction."

"Oh, got it."

"You don't have an idea?"

"What do I think?"

"Contractor the middle job in Gucheng."

"Am I crazy? If it is a secondary school, I may be interested in both teachers and students, and now I am a secondary school, and there is no teacher, what do I want it to do, arrange students in a toy factory, and learn to fold cardboard boxes collectively? ”

"With your company's salary and treatment, it's not impossible."

"You're not kidding."

"I'm serious."

“……”

"Xiao Xu, the ancient city of secondary school has been changed to a secondary vocational school, and the loss of teachers is serious, whether it is reputation or strength, it has dropped several grades, which is a big loss for the ancient city. But if you TEP contract and change it to a Sino-foreign joint venture, this grade will immediately be infinitely higher, not to mention Ze City, looking at the entire Dongshan is the number one! ”

"When you finish your course, what do others ask you to learn, and the collective answer: folding cardboard boxes?"

“……”
