Chapter 143 Layout of the Media Industry
For the current economy, the bad environment, and the Third World War that breaks out at any time, how expensive can these two barely profitable comic magazines be!
It didn't take long for Wells Fargo to take it, one for $1.7 million, the other for $280, which was outrageously cheap, and it didn't need a bank loan, Wells Fargo was just doing a favor, and they themselves were happy.
For the record label that Earl Sean Hill has in mind, Wells Fargo has also started to act, targeting Atlantic Records, and the other is Elektra Noneusch Records.
These two companies have entered the negotiation stage, which is to cut off Hu Huana in advance, and in the past few years, they merged these two record companies to form Warner Records.
Now that Xiao Yuan's Paramount Company has been preempted, the future record industry will still have decades of glory, Xiao Yuan is not satisfied with this achievement, and it is best to continue to acquire and establish a large record company with the ability to distribute globally.
With his knowledge of the entertainment industry, he can catch a few future superstars, such as the Beatles, who are starting in front of him.
Since the start in Niu Yue is going well, let's go ahead and acquire RCA, that is, Chouguo Broadcasting Records, which is named by Xiao Yuan, and everyone understands it better, because this old record company has a long history, strong strength, and also has a contract with Elvis Presley!
That's right, Elvis Presley, who had just moved to Hollywood, had his contract sold to RCA by Sun Records, which was really visionless.
Knowing the influence of Elvis Presley in the future, Xiao Yuan told Wells Fargo's order that he wanted the record company at all costs, and he wanted Elvis Presley's contract even more!
On the other hand, he wants to build his own media empire, and asks Wells Fargo to help him buy it, and the top 10 media in circulation will be bought at any cost.
Xiao Yuan doesn't want to challenge the rules for the time being, he is not very interested in the TV station at the moment, but there is no problem in the newspaper industry, how many can be collected, the power of the future is huge, and it is also his means of self-preservation!
It is best to deal with the first few newspapers, because they are all rigorous media with huge circulation and good reputation, and when the time comes, there are not many people who dare to provoke him, and the sharp weapon of public opinion has been mastered, and no one wants to be ruined.
His Far East Capital can set up a Far East Media Group, newspapers, magazines, film companies, record companies, and become a giant enterprise when it is developed.
The first to be won was the record company, although it is a little more expensive, but it is also comparative, and the three companies together are only 20 million US dollars, which is still because radio records have the big star of Elvis Presley.
After the acquisition of the three companies, they were directly merged to form Far East Records, with the general manager of Radio Records as the president, and the other two as vice presidents.
Xiao Yuan's first task is to immediately poach the Beatles from Parrot Country to the company, expand business into Europe and Asia, increase investment, update equipment, tap talents, and win-win cooperation with major music colleges.
At the end of June, an unexpected surprise appeared, Xiao Yuan hurriedly flew back to San Francisco, because there was a surprise.
The plunge in the stock market, coupled with the support of Wells Fargo Bank, helped him acquire the old construction company, Fluor Group, which is a very good listed company, and in this era, the business has been carried out to the Middle East and Europe.
Such a bullish company, of course, is also worth a lot of money, even in the case of a sharp drop in the stock market, it still cost him nearly 300 million US dollars, which is mainly used in the stock market.
Xiao Yuan came here to sign a handover, he completed the wholly-owned acquisition, this company was delisted and became his own private company, he is not short of money, what to do with the listing, the future is not enough for his own business!
Not to mention anything else, just the big construction of Parrot Country, as well as the big construction of Niu Yue, Luoshan Chicken, and San Francisco, is completely enough for this company's business for ten years, who knows in the future?
On the other hand, the construction company is also his old business in his previous life, and he is still somewhat sure of how to become bigger and stronger, and everything else is half-understood.
Construction companies need continuous business in order to grow from all aspects, especially the cultivation of talents, and the college students of the Department of Architecture do not go to the construction site to exercise, which is basically waste, and it is useless to talk on paper.
There is also design, which is very important, which is the premise of doing a good job in engineering, and it is also the engine of enterprise progress. The other is its own supervision, consulting, equipment, operation and other branches.
After the company grows bigger, it must be specialized, civil engineering, installation, structure, decoration, mechanical and electrical installation, etc., all must be specialized talents, professional companies, so as to lead.
This time, he decided to sit in San Francisco for a period of time, rectify the newly renamed Far East Construction, and carry out a detailed layout from the overall strategic layout, long-term development planning, and business coverage.
The future development shows that there is no one in the world who can surpass the Chinese in architecture, and when it comes to hard work and overtime, other countries are not of the same grade.
In the future, China's construction industry, known as the infrastructure madness, will not only be infrastructure, super high-rise, super projects abound, but there are few professionals at present, not to mention the design, and the tall buildings are somewhat difficult.
In terms of construction period and difficulty, the future construction industry has no rivals, and the cost is beyond their reach, and Xiao Yuan also has selfish intentions to help early immigrants find a way out, and the income of workers in the construction industry in Europe and the United States is not low.
The new owner, Earl Sean Hill, carried out drastic reforms, directly rearranged the organizational structure of the group company, and the primary goal was to acquire a well-known design company and make every effort to introduce architectural talents.
The most troublesome thing in the engineering industry is finance, cost accounting and labor wages, which is also a common problem, and later generations have not completely solved it, how to eliminate insider trading, waste and corruption, this is a big problem.
Xiao Yuan followed the old method, hiring a well-known team of lawyers in the ugly country, as well as an accounting firm, in this place, it is a big problem for you to do accounts and pay taxes, and you can also supervise the internal group company.
The first business handed over to Far East Construction must be the stadium and the Petronas Twin Towers in Parrot Country, as well as his Rover Motors headquarters, as well as the attached player training base.
There is no reason not to use your own company, although it is a transnational construction, but this is not a problem, it must require the cooperation of local companies, and the general contractor is your own company.
In addition, his Paramount Pictures also needs to build the headquarters of the Falling Pheasant, not only office buildings, but also film and television bases, as well as five-star hotels, hotels and apartments in film and television bases.
As for the land in Silicon Valley that he bought, there is no need to build it for the time being, after all, there are not many companies in Silicon Valley at present, and we will wait for the construction in front of it.
There is also a top priority, that is, the cattle contract, the Far East Record Company, and the newspaper that is about to be acquired, all need decent office buildings, which is also a long-term investment, and while the economy is not good now, it is not bad to develop some real estate.
Why is Comrade Trump so good in the future, isn't he a rich second generation? How did his family make his fortune? It's not the real estate and property of the cow covenant yet!
On July 16, McGreen reported that the first batch of harvests had begun, and about one-fifth of the contracts exceeded the target and fell by more than 50%, and according to Xiao Yuan's regulations, the delivery began!
Fortunately, they are all seaside cities, Xiao Yuan doesn't like to bring bodyguards and secretaries or anything, and no one knows his specific whereabouts, needless to say, it is also from the sea, otherwise just taking a plane from the east and west is enough for him to toss.
A total of 21 billion US dollars, one-fifth is 4.25 billion, according to the average calculation of fifty percent, that is also 2.1 billion US dollars gross profit, it is impossible for him, the boss, to let it go!
Also concerned are Bucklai Bank, as well as HSBC and Wells Fargo, who are aware of the situation, and they are also paying attention to the income of this big financier.
Although the biggest cake was eaten by Bucklai's bank, they are also working hard to fight for it, this Earl Hill is growing too fast, and he is about to become a billionaire, the richest man in the world, and the most important thing is that he has a lot of cash!
And his business is getting bigger and bigger, and he has high-quality assets, at least at present, it is correct, the bank has the most financial experts, and he also understands the plans of Earl Hill, and the future giant is gradually formed, so what are you waiting for if you don't rely on it at this time?
