830. The edge of the decision-maker
In addition, with the accelerated operation of foreign production bases, the transportation cost in some parts of Europe and the United States has dropped significantly, allowing Sheling to achieve a double increase in sales and profits, and the latter has also increased by more than 35%.
With the smooth ascent of Sheling.com, the valuation has also reached a new high, and Wang Yongren's previous transfer of tens of billions of US dollars has lost a lot.
However, without his share sale, Wall Street's capital occupies the largest shareholder on the surface, and Wall Street will not continue to tout Sheling's stock price.
There is nothing to be sorry about this.
"What's the recent increase in sales at Herln?"
After reading the basic data of Sheling.com, Wang Yongren, who returned to the car, opened his mouth and asked about the data of another website.
"This year, Herln's 12-month sales were $12.5 billion, up 39%, and profits were $3.5 billion, up 51%."
Hearing the boss's question, Secretary Li quickly replied.
"Hmm."
As for the data of the two websites, Wang Yongren thinks it is okay.
Of the two women's clothing websites controlled by him, one went public to market value, and the other made profits quietly, which is why those Wall Street capitals strongly supported him.
As long as they are given money, Wall Street's capital does not care who is behind it.
"The Douyin data has also come out, and the live broadcast platform has earned a total of revenue in the past six months. Breakthrough in sales of live streaming"
Knowing the year-end summary of the industry in his hand, Wang Yongren stayed in the magic capital for a day and got on a private jet to Hong Kong City.
At the first stop in Hong Kong City, Wang Yongren came to the top floor of TVB's new building headquarters and listened to the work report of Vice President Ling Zhiling.
In Hong Kong City, buying a house can be much more cost-effective than building a new building, and the TVB board of directors approved the plan to buy a new building, which moved in before the end of this year, located in the Central area on the edge of Victoria Harbour.
After moving to the new headquarters, everyone's spirit is different."
After reporting on the serious work, Vice President Ling, who worked very hard, talked about the company's new developments.
As the only listed TV station in Hong Kong City, TVB can be said to be a symbol in the hearts of Hong Kong City people, and many young people are proud to work in it.
It's a pity that time has passed, and TVB, like its headquarters building, is facing the embarrassment of dying and aging.
Now, TVB has spent tens of billions of dollars to buy a new building, which can be described as a booster, making it and all the employees inside full of vitality.
Ling Zhiling, as the vice president and actual controller of TVB, is naturally and honorable, and she feels a lot younger.
Especially when reporting to the big boss, Ling Zhiling felt that her physical strength was much stronger than before, and it was none of her business whether the president was happy or not.
"Do you have the confidence to repay the 10 billion bonds in five years?"
Admiring the efforts of the first beauty in Taiwan Island Province, Wang Yongren asked.
If a listed company wants to buy a headquarters building, it will definitely not use the company's cash flow entirely, but give priority to the issuance of bonds.
This time, TVB spent 11.5 billion yuan to buy a house, of which 10 billion yuan is a 5-year bond issued in the name of the company, with an annual interest rate of 4.2 points.
In this bond issuance, Wang Yongren and Li Ershao said hello, and the issuance went smoothly.
This is not very difficult for TVB, which has a revenue of more than 8 billion Hong Kong dollars and a profit of 3.5 billion this year, but it is also a big burden.
"With the concerted efforts of the whole company and the smooth expansion of our business in the mainland, it will not be difficult to buy back the bonds in five years."
Regarding this, Ling Zhiling is full of confidence.
After three years of rectification, TVB is no longer the old enterprise that went downhill at the beginning, but is full of vitality.
This year's earnings alone have already reached a 40% increase, and it is expected that next year will be even stronger.
"It's always right to plan ahead, and the company must ensure sufficient cash flow and buy back some of it in advance when the opportunity arises."
Holding the slender waist of the beauty of Taiwan Island Province, Wang Yongren reminded the agent in charge of TVB's specific affairs.
No one knows better than him that the node in five years will make the TV station industry enter a capital winter.
However, this will not affect the date of TVB's bonds, but it will have to leave enough funds to keep the TV station running.
"Yes, master."
Hugging the other party's neck, Ling Zhiling said softly.
After that, Vice President Ling, who knew that his boss lover was not having fun, pressed the internal call button, and a good friend from the same township walked in with three female artists.
After inspecting TVB's affairs, Wang Yongren listened to the report of Nick Yang, CEO of AHL Video, and then met with several long-awaited capital representatives.
After this round of bond financing, AHL Video has $2.3 billion on its books. I decided to start the next round of development planning, incubate a short video platform, and enter the short video and live broadcast track. ”
After dinner, Wang Yongren and several shareholder representatives talked about the next stage of AHL video's planning.
"Wang, are you going to compete with YT?"
Hearing the statement of the major shareholder of Huaxia, Melllon's Sean asked curiously, and the rest of the shareholders also showed worries.
Now that AHL Video is playing Netflix in Asia and Africa, and is also aggressive in North America, it is not a good idea to open up a new track and provoke another strong opponent.
For these capitals, there is no need to take risks if they can make money steadily.
"No, YT will not be our goal, our goal is to become the largest short video platform in Europe and the United States."
Understanding the concerns of these capital representatives, Wang Yongren had a confident smile on his face, and then let people announce a Douyin data: "In January last year, Huaxia's Douyin platform started live broadcasting."
Looking at that series of astonishing data, as well as the exaggerated increase, many capital representatives were silent.
It's just that the successful cases of Huaxia are not necessarily suitable for Europe and the United States.
"Therefore, AHL Video will incubate a subsidiary, TikTok, with an initial investment of $1 billion, which will be carried out in five regions: North America, South America, Berlin, Paris, and Johannesburg, and then depending on the situation."
After talking about this investment amount, Wang Yongren was relieved to see the eyes of several representatives.
This is not his one-man Renhe Industry and Trade and Happy Network, Tomorrow Technology, but a multinational enterprise with many international capital participation, and it is impossible to slap the table and shout 'who is for and who is against'.
In the future, these people will have to be in front.
"OK, I agree."
"I agree."
"I think it's good to try the water."
Hearing that only $1 billion was invested in the early stage, Sean and the rest of the representatives had no opinion, and they were afraid that the actual controller of the AHL video would throw more than $2 billion into it in a desperate gamble.
At present, there are more than $2 billion in funds on the AHL video account, and spending $1 billion to test the waters will not hurt even if it fails.
It's just that Wang Yongren is very sure how big a wave the $1 billion will be after it is smashed.
After TikTok exploded, Wang Yongren slightly reduced his shareholdings, allowing the rest of the consortiums to stand on the bright side.
Presumably, with the short video website dominated by Wall Street capital, coupled with his previous public relations with the world supermodel, this version of TikTok will shine with unprecedented brilliance.
"I wish TikTok a big hit."
Seeing that the shareholder representatives of the board of directors agreed, Wang Yongren smiled and raised his red wine glass.
"I wish TikTok a big hit."
The rest of the people also smiled and raised their glasses.
Of course, they hope that if AHL video can successfully open up a new track, then everyone will only make more money.
"Wang, thank you for the shares you transferred earlier, and the board of directors gave me an additional $20 million year-end bonus."
After finishing the business, Sean smiled and raised a glass to thank the rich man in China.
Previously, the other party reduced its holdings of Sheling.com's shares, and their Mellon consortium closed most of it, making a profit of more than $1 billion in this stock rally.
Not to mention, they are now the majority shareholders of Sheling.com, and their book wealth has risen very beautifully.
"I accept this thanks."
Hearing Sean's face-to-face thanks, Wang Yongren accepted it unceremoniously.
To be honest, he did lose a lot on the bright side of this wave of reductions, even if he got nearly $10 billion in cash.
As for posture, in front of these old and beautiful capitals, he doesn't need to be modest, he just needs to show the edge of a decision-maker.
As long as you keep earning money with them, then all gestures will be praised, and vice versa.
"Boss"
When Wang Yongren was chatting and laughing with several capital representatives, Secretary Li, who followed him, walked in the door and reported something in a whisper.
