803. I'm Musk for the fish
Ling Zhiling also thought about the new headquarters building of TVB for a long time, and now that the company is getting better, she brought it up.
The branch buildings in Pengcheng are more luxurious than the headquarters in Hong Kong City, which is always a bit unreasonable for TVB, which has a market value of more than 40 billion.
Many headquarters employees have complained about this.
At this point, Ling Zhiling, who has been to the office of the president of the Pengcheng branch, does have a similar feeling.
It's just that this involves billions of investments, and the consent of the big boss must be obtained.
"Yes."
Hearing this, Wang Yongren, who was not prepared to take much dividends from TVB in recent years, responded cheerfully.
"Thank you, boss."
Seeing that her lover agreed, Ling Zhiling shed tears of joy.
"Mei Niang, Shi Shi, Xuanxuan, Yanyan, come in."
Leaning weakly on her lover's arms, Ling Zhiling, who came back to her senses, pressed the internal call button.
Soon, four beautiful stars dressed up walked in.
Although Tang Yan is a signed artist of Jinghong Studio, as the queen of this year's Hong Kong City Awards, she has been filming in Hong Kong City recently, and she is also familiar with Ling Zhiling.
"What have you been filming lately?"
Looking at Tang Ying, who was in the same silver evening dress as when he received the award, Wang Yongren first focused on the other party.
"A Tomb Robbery Drama About Asian Agents in the Middle East"
Caring about the damage to this commemorative evening dress, Tang Yan frowned slightly, and replied seriously.
I have to say that the competition around this rich writer is quite fierce, and there is a lot of competition within their studio, but I didn't expect the competition in this port city to be fierce.
As a career woman, Tang Yan must seize any opportunity to leave more impressions in the hearts of the rich writer.
Leaving the TVB headquarters, Wang Yongren went to AHL Video again.
Today's AHL video, with a market value of more than $40 billion, and CEO Nick Young, who is worth more than $1 billion, is also too busy to keep his feet on the ground.
However, knowing that the big boss came to inspect today, Nick still rushed over from Sakura Country to report his work in person.
"AHL has been doing well lately, and you have contributed a lot. However, in the video platform industry, if you don't advance, you will retreat, and you need to stay sober enough. ”
Having already listened to Jia Meiniang's report on the business of Taiwan Island Province in advance, Wang Yongren fully affirmed the CEO after learning more about the business in the rest of Asia.
"Rest assured, BOSS, I will conscientiously carry out your instructions and lead AHL to greater glory."
To the instructions of the big boss, Nick replied with an oath.
"Now that AHL video has become the video platform with the highest market capitalization, what do you think?"
didn't care about this kind of little fart, Wang Yongren opened his mouth to ask what the other party thought.
If the other party has no idea, then he can only tell it himself.
Anyway, for AHL videos, Wang Yongren doesn't expect to become a behemoth, he just wants to maintain the growth of market value when promoting Chinese culture, which is enough.
The CEO's ability does not need to be amazing, as long as he can complete the development strategy he has set, he is already considered excellent.
"Regarding the development of the company, what I currently want is to take root in Asia, expand the business in the Middle East, Europe and South America, and finally enter North America with the general trend and completely suppress Netflix below."
Hearing the big boss's school examination, Nick replied seriously.
With the rise of their AHL video, Netflix, which is still immersed in North America as the king, has taken it seriously and spent $1 billion to enter Asia, and has previously sent relevant personnel to Sakura Country and Seoul.
With the advantage of developing two years ahead of schedule, Nick, which is not bad for money, is also suppressing Netflix's expansion speed in Asia in all aspects.
"That's the right direction, keep up the good work."
Nodding, Wang Yongren expressed his affirmation.
As for the short video platform that will definitely be incubated in the future, Wang Yongren never thought that the other party could have such a vision, or wait for Douyin to become a sufficient momentum in Huaxia, and then guide Netflix to expand new businesses.
After that, Wang Yongren, accompanied by Nick, visited the new film and television base cooperated by AHL Video and TVB.
After upgrading, the old address of TVB, which had not changed for thousands of years, has been rejuvenated at this time, and the entire base is a thriving and busy scene.
In the process, Wang Yongren also met several stars from Hong Kong City and the mainland, and chatted briefly, leaving a look of admiration.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Wang Yongren pinched the time to come to the western restaurant next to Victoria and met with Musk, who had been waiting for more than ten minutes.
"Musk, I'm sorry, I just came over to inspect the AHL video."
Wang Yongren, who came over a little later, said sorry with a smile on his face.
In this negotiation, he grasped the initiative, and naturally had to overwhelm the other party in the momentum at the beginning.
Admittedly, Musk's reputation in North America is better known than that of his low-key Sheling network controller, but this is Asia, and there are no rockets for the other side to launch.
"Don't be sorry, my friend, I've just arrived."
Seeing the arrival of this Asian billionaire on time, Musk was originally a little apprehensive, but he was relieved.
From the other party's actions, he could feel that the Asian tycoon attached great importance to Tesla's Huaxia factory, which was nothing more than wanting to take the initiative in the negotiations between the two sides.
This trick is used every time Musk negotiates with weak suppliers.
It's just that now he is the weak party, which makes Musk a little uncomfortable.
"Musk, what do you think of the scenery of China compared to North America?"
sat down to eat something, and Wang Yongren was also casual and idle.
"I think each has its own flavor, and the market in China is not smaller than that of North America, let alone the whole of Asia."
"Yes, but North America is the economic center of the world."
"There's no doubt about it."
"Huh."
After a bit of nonsense, Wang Yongren didn't wait for the other party to talk about Tesla's Huaxia factory, and took the initiative to talk about another business: "I have an idea, but I asked Musk to help me discuss it." Now there are a lot of new energy vehicle companies in China, I am now investing 10 billion US dollars to build a charging pile company, in various parts of China to establish charging piles, what do you think of the market prospects? ”
If this company can hold on for five years, it will be a unicorn in the industry in the future."
Listening to the other party's thoughts, Musk was shocked.
In his opinion, this is not a consultation, this is a clear threat.
There is no doubt that this company may have been in preparation, and in the future, the entire public charging piles in Huaxia will be controlled by the other party, so which new energy vehicle company's charging pile quota is not up to the other party.
At that time, the wealthy Asians who mastered the resources of public charging piles could even use this resource to force potential users to choose what type of new energy vehicle models.
Thinking of this, Musk's eyes suddenly became much heavier.
Sure enough, cooperating with the other party's Huaxia factory is their Tesla's best choice.
"With Musk's words, I can invest with confidence."
The corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, Wang Yongren didn't seem to see the other party's changed face, and calmly continued to eat the medium-rare steak.
When Musk went to the magic capital to sign a contract, he must invite the other party to eat Sichuan food.
"Wang, I don't know what you think of the email I sent you before?"
Seeing that the rhythm of the conversation was controlled by the other party, Musk did not get entangled, and directly talked about the cooperation between the two sides.
"I naturally agree to cooperate with Tesla, but I don't know how much Tesla is going to invest in Huaxia?"
After listening to the other party's words, Wang Yongren also asked the key questions very realistically and entered the formal negotiation process.
"In three years, 10 billion dollars. However, we hope that you can get the relevant departments in Huaxia to reduce the price of the factory land. ”
Speaking of this, Musk looked at each other seriously.
"Reduce the price of the plot, I can help negotiate. However, $1 billion in three years is too little. In this way, you are $1.5 billion, I am $2 billion, and I will take 65% of Huaxia Tesla's shares. ”
For this investment amount, Wang Yongren, who now holds a lot of money, directly jumped up the investment amount.
"65% of the shares, a bit too high."
Hearing this condition, Musk shook his head.
If the other party holds more than 50% of the shares, Tesla's Huaxia factory will listen to their headquarters or the other party in the future.
"Then you will increase the amount of investment."
With a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, Wang Yongren kicked the ball back.
Although the continued decline of Big A has little impact on U.S. stocks, the decline of many Chinese stocks still makes Wall Street a little nervous, and U.S. stock-related indices have entered a period of adjustment.
At this time, Tesla wants to raise funds or issue short-term bonds, but it is not so easy.
At this time, Tesla is not a behemoth that broke through the trillion dollar market value at its peak a few years later, and now the market value is only more than 20 billion US dollars, and it is a bit difficult to come up with 1.5 billion US dollars at one time.
"This needs to be resolved by the board of directors, and at the previous meeting, everyone felt that $1 billion, plus your share of the investment, was enough to complete the first phase of the construction of Tesla's Huaxia factory and start production."
Shaking his head in embarrassment, Musk gave his reasons.
Even though he now has Tesla's technology in his hands, he can't stand up in front of this major shareholder of D.B Automobile.
"Then you have $1 billion, I'll have $1.5 billion, and I'll take 65% of the shares."
Seeing that the other party insisted on this investment amount, Wang Yongren lowered his requirements slightly.
No way, he has money, but he's not stupid.
"Wang, if you give $1.5 billion, we can give 60% of the shares. But Huaxia Tesla's voting rights, we need 55%. ”
In the face of Asia's wealthy and technologically savvy Asians, Musk has spoken his bottom line.
"No way, I'm not representing myself now, there are quite a few people behind me. You also know that if you want to promote Tesla in China, some necessary PR is indispensable. I can give you 49% of the voting rights, but I promise that I will stand with you in the general direction. ”
On this point, Wang Yongren did not make the slightest concession.
Now, I am a knife and a fish, so why should I agree to the other party's conditions.
is Tesla's shares, Wang Yongren has slowly acquired 12.5 points outside, plus the initial 8 points, a total of more than 20 points, directly chasing Musk himself.
It's just that these 12.5 points are all operated by the fund of his wife and a few celebrities, and they are not shown in front of others.
"Well, I need to have a video conference with the board."
Looking at the other party's strong attitude, Musk could only sigh helplessly.
As for the follow-up negotiations, he will certainly not delay for too long, and must reach a consensus and sign a memorandum during this trip to Hong Kong.
Now the second coupe of the D.B car is about to be launched, and the price is 20,000 yuan lower than the first one, which is an extremely dangerous signal.
Once D.B cars become popular, it will be a great problem for them Tesla to enter the Chinese market in the future, and they may not even be able to get preferential policies in terms of land.
"Yes."
Listening to the other party's decent answer, Wang Yongren gave the other party time: "I will go to Seoul tomorrow afternoon to inspect, and I hope to hear good news from your friend before that." ”
"No problem."
With a shrunken eye, Musk smiled and raised his glass.
Musk was very unhappy with this meal.
After returning to the hotel room, Musk called the new female secretary in and guided the other party for half an hour before changing into loose pajamas and sending applications for video conferencing to the board members in China.
In contrast, Wang Yongren, who had the chance to win, was in a happy mood and took the female secretary to Li Ershao's yacht for an appointment.
It's a long night, and it's too early to go back and talk about life with the first beauty in Taiwan Province so early.
After all, no matter how good his kidneys are, he also needs a period of rest.
"Brother Wang, it's been a long time."
Seeing this young rich man, Li Yaoming stepped forward to shake hands with a smile on his face.
As the second shareholder of TVB and a minority shareholder of AHL Video, he has made a lot of money after cooperating with the other party, and he is naturally very enthusiastic.
"Second Brother Li is polite."
I didn't go to see the warbler Yanyan who came to see the upstairs on the first floor, Wang Yongren, who was alone, and the second-generation people of Hong Kong City who hugged each other in the box on the second floor were a little out of place.
And none of the people present despised the other.
Not to mention the Sheling network, which is in full swing and has a market value of nearly $300 billion, even the $40 billion AHL video is enough to make most of the people present look up.
Therefore, the atmosphere of everyone chatting while drinking is very harmonious.
"I heard that Musk, the boss of Tesla in North America, came to Hong Kong City, Brother Chen, do you know what's going on?"
A well-informed rich second generation opened his mouth to talk about today's latest news.
The port city is so big, and Musk, a wealthy man with a lot of influence in North America, came to Hong Kong, so he was naturally known to them for the first time.
"I don't know."
Regarding this, Chen Huaqian, who guessed something, shook his head calmly.
"This has something to do with me."
Knowing that all the people present were elites, Wang Yongren did not pretend to be low-key, and said very truthfully: "Musk came over and wanted to talk to me about a small project of two or three billion dollars." ”
Anyway, the cooperation between him and Musk, the people present can't interfere, and it doesn't matter if you say it briefly.
In the future, the development of AHL video and TVB may also need the help of everyone present, and he is also beneficial and harmless as a conspicuous bag.
In this circle of the rich second generation, the strong are naturally valued.
“.”
Hearing the young rich man admit, several rich second generations present couldn't help but show respect, and the rest of the young female companions were full of admiration and eager to give them a hug.
"Yongren's business territory is getting bigger and bigger, I don't know if there are any small projects, can I participate in it?"
Looking at this high-spirited young rich man, Li Yaoming asked with a smile.
"If there is a suitable project, I will definitely talk to the second brother."
The corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, but Wang Yongren did not let go.
Today, it is only suitable to talk about Fengyue, and there is no cooperation.
"Okay."
Seeing that the other party said this, Li Yaoming also knew that the other party didn't want to participate in the cooperation, so he ended the topic very happily.
More than an hour later, Wang Yongren, who had listened to some private gossip about the port city, left the yacht and returned to his villa in Repulse Bay.
Compared with the formation of the TVB headquarters in the daytime, except for the first beauty in Taiwan Island Province and the short-haired beauty Jia Meiniang, the other four girls are all newcomers with familiar faces.
The next morning, Wang Yongren, who got up for morning exercise, was eating breakfast when he received a call from Musk.
The other party is a little impatient!!
