If Wall Street created the modern financial system in the United States, it replaced the central bank in the Great Depression of the twenties and saved the national economy.

Then Neon's financial system was once controlled by the zaibatsu, and when the emperor wanted to export war to the outside world in the twenties, he needed to pull venture capital from the zaibatsu family.

After the defeat, MacArthur set foot on the land without hesitation, breaking it to pieces, breaking it apart, and returning the economy and finance to the government.

But perhaps it is the unique habit of the neon entire nation in its bones, and decades later, the chaebol has revived, changed its name, and continues to affect the national economy in a new form.

With the financial industry as the core, it horizontally connects giant enterprises in various fields of heavy industry, manufacturing, and real estate, and vertically integrates the upper and lower industrial chains, forming a consortium that is as famous as the South Korean chaebol and the Russian oligarchs, and confuses the peers all over the world.

This multi-disciplinary behemoth can be described as "food and clothing for millions of workers", and the government has a headache in dealing with them, let alone the scythe from Wall Street that reaches out to their core financial business......

Therefore, the specific way to take the short position must first be made by these locals after friendly contact.

"Tomorrow Nancy and Pan Weidi will come with me to the royal banquet."

After a brief analysis of the basic information of a total of six consortium giants such as Mitsui and Mitsubishi, Hall distributed tasks to everyone in turn at the end of the meeting: "Munters led a team to investigate the neon semiconductor industry, and handed it over to me after the emperor's funeral, that is, three days later." ”

Brandon ...... You are free to do so, and I think you should be able to tap into some potential business opportunities, even though the bubble in the country is so inflated these days. ”

Hearing this, Brandon couldn't help but take off his gold-rimmed glasses and massage his eyebrows vigorously to relieve his grievances, in fact, the two purposes of shorting the financial industry and investing in the semiconductor industry have nothing to do with the family office.

He is getting better and better in Hollywood, but he is forced to accompany him to Neon to get the head of the atmosphere group.

The reason is that the combination of the board of directors of Columbia Pictures led by Herbert Jr. and Kravis, the head of KKR, is too capable of tossing, not only making trouble to hold congressional hearings, but also holding a union strike and march at two ends in three days to exert public opinion pressure.

seriously affected the filming of the crew, and even cAA, which Lei Dianhua had just invested in, did not stop, wanting to kick Lei Dianhua out.

Seeing this, he simply ran to the neon to avoid the limelight, whatever the other party did, and waited until the dust settled!

Hall made a downward gesture and comforted, "Calm down, I know you put a lot of effort into the cAA brokerage. But to prioritize, the Coca-Cola and Sony case will soon come to an end, and with a little patience, you may reap the unexpected benefits. ”

"For example?" Brandon suddenly perked up and sat up straight.

Hall smiled mysteriously: "I suggest you visit Sony headquarters tomorrow, Akio Morita is going to buy Columbia Pictures after all." ”

"I gotta say it's a sharp-eyed decision, so in what capacity should I make a visit?" Brandon's eyes lit up, and his tone was excited.

Michael Ovitz, a partner at cAA, has long been interested in getting involved in Sony's acquisition of Columbia Pictures, originally in order to successfully complete the acquisition, and he proposed himself to be the boss of Columbia Pictures.

Now with Hall's support, he can fight with other partners within cAA to the end, and he can retire to Lei Dianhua as the boss.

Mao Sui recommended himself to take charge of Columbia Pictures, but if he can be a matchmaker and become an acquisition broker, he can also make a lot of money as an intermediary fee......

Hall hesitated for a moment and said, "It doesn't matter, I am friends with Mr. Morita. ”

He has eaten and wiped all the gifts given by others, and then pretending to be a gesture to slaughter an intermediary fee is a little unkind.

And whether Michael Ovitz has the ability to help match, and whether Sony's internal factions are willing to accept his kindness, let's try it for the time being.

Anyway, through a brief contact with Akio Morita, Hall thinks that this old gentleman is very generous and probably won't let his friends suffer.

"Friends?"

Brandon silently repeated the ambiguous words, and in a reverie returned to his room to call Michael Ovitz.

In the conference room at the other end, the employees of various departments dispersed, and Herbert Wachtel, the legal counsel of the family office, stayed until the end, took a sip of coffee and said, "What is my task, let's talk about it." ”

"When I went to Seoul, South Korea, my good friend Anse El was in Seoul and accompanied him to visit a lady." Hall unconsciously lowered his voice.

Herbert bowed his head slightly and asked, "What exactly?" ”

"It's not clear yet." Hall replied helplessly.

Herbert frowned and was silent for a few seconds, then asked tentatively, "Do you need to bring an entourage?" ”

"Bring a treasurer, and you can take the others yourself, I have only one request, and the itinerary is absolutely confidential."

Hall glanced at him, paused and explained: "Related to the next industry-wide trade war, Mr. Mellon wanted me to enter the semiconductor industry to increase political influence, but he didn't give me any hints. ”

"To be honest, I don't have a clue right now, all I can think of is industrial transfer. Washington wants to see the neon semiconductor industry die, and supporting South Korea to defeat neon is a good option. He rubbed his hands in his hair.

The core of the brewing trade war in the whole industry chain in the United States this year is to kill the neon semiconductor industry, but it turns out that the neon semiconductor industry is too thick, and it still maintains an absolute dominant position in the semiconductor industry despite being ruthless.

It wasn't until the real estate market exploded in '92 that Neon fell into the so-called "lost thirty years" that the Korean semiconductor industry gradually caught up.

This means that entering the semiconductor industry at the moment is not very profitable from a business point of view, and it has little effect from a political point of view, and it will take at least a few years to burn money to see a return.

So Hall tried to get in touch with Samsung, which had just established a semiconductor research institute at the end of the year and was desperately lacking in talent and technology.

And the ARm company he invested in is considering whether to give up the semiconductor processing business of its own factory and focus on chip design.

“…… Prop up another puppet, I thought you'd lean more towards the mesa. Hehe, don't look at me like that, as far as I know, there is infrastructure that is not inferior to South Korea, which is enough to support the development of the semiconductor industry. Your investment style is more inclined to cultivate future giants rather than investing in industry leaders who have already established a scale. ”

Herbert said with a firm demeanor that he is an authoritative lawyer in the field of financial mergers and acquisitions and has a certain investment acumen.

Hall thought that TSMC, which had just been established in the platform the year before last, was indeed a monopoly-level giant in the semiconductor industry in the future, and he shrugged his shoulders and said vaguely: "My money is limited, and the opportunity to make money is unlimited." ”

Herbert smiled knowingly, and he scoffed at what others said, and he believed it when the young Wall Street upstart said it.

"When are you leaving?" He finally asked.

Hall stood up and stretched, "Tomorrow." ”

After finishing finishing business, Cheng Chen, who was standing at the door, reminded: "Aunt Cheryl is not in a good mood. ”

"And you're still irritating her? It's two o'clock in the morning, and I'm not a babysitter for the two of you! Hall was angry and raised his tone to curse.

Cheng Chen's face was full of four big words of indifference, and he corrected it seriously: "I respect her very much, she also respects me, she is angry with you." ”

"Yo, now learn to refute me, right, come on, I'll have a good chat with you."

"It's two o'clock in the morning, and no matter what you want to talk about, it's best not to close the door, because colleagues will misunderstand."

“…… Shit! In order to avoid misunderstanding among colleagues, you had better stand in front of me tonight. Hall slammed the door in anger.
