042: Next Steps

Central, in a conference hall at the Four Seasons Hotel.

Witnessed by legal staff, Xiao Tang signed an equity transfer agreement with News Corp.'s media tycoon Murdoch.

According to the terms of the agreement, Xiao Tang will receive no less than $9.25 million in cash, Da Mo will receive $5 million in News Corp. stock, and Zhang and He Shen will receive a total of $750,000 in cash.

In this way, Xiao Tang received a total of about 70 million Hong Kong dollars in cash, and this is still the settlement of the principal and interest of Da Mo.

"David, congratulations!" After signing the contract, Murdoch stretched out a palm to Xiao Tang with a smile, obviously he is very proud now, and quickly won the high-quality company "Dongxing Daily".

Xiao Tang is not a small person, but he also responded with a smile, "I hope this is the most valuable investment of Mr. Murdoch in the seventies." ”

"I think so!" Murdoch smiled and nodded to Xiao Tang, and then the two shook hands, exchanged documents, and then separated.

Because Xiao Tang's personal request vetoed media coverage of the acquisition, everything was held in private.

In fact, Murdoch originally wanted to enhance News Corp's popularity on Hong Kong Island through public reporting, but Xiao Tang rejected it. He didn't want to face this public report as a loser, and his identity as the boss of the "Eastern Star Daily" was actually known to only a few people.

He has little desire for fame and is more focused on profit.

Seeing Xiao Tang leave the table, the second shareholder of the newspaper, Mr. Russell of Da Mo, chased after him and shouted, "David, you wait!" ”

Xiao Tang squinted at Russell, the silent nose is not a nose, the eyes are not eyes, Russell, the old guy, also knows that he is not authentic this time, forcing Xiao Tang to sell the newspaper, but he also has his own hardships, and he can only say that his interests are different.

But he is very optimistic about Xiao Tang as a person, he has all the prerequisites for success, and when the two sides first met, Russell was attracted to this young man so much that he chased out of HSBC in the rain.

As for now that everything is settled, this old guy wants to mend the relationship between the two parties that has basically broken down, and when he saw him, he exclaimed: "David, you are an excellent entrepreneur and a perfect partner, I can hardly see any shortcomings in you, and now you are willing, Da Mo will still be your strongest partner, and the door of Morgan Stanley will always be open for you." ”

In fact, in Russell's view, Xiao Tang's future should not be underestimated in the one-third of an acre of land in Xiangjiang, there are so many high-quality partners in the world, and Xiao Tang is barely a target who must be wooed.

"This man is shameless!" Xiao Tang took a sip secretly, looked at Russell with a smile and said, "Really? But I'm afraid that I have a chance to get in and can't get out of that door! ”

Russell's face was scornful, he knew that Xiao Tang was connotating him, but after all, he was an old fox who was about to become a master, and he would not answer the question at all, but quibbled: "In fact, the form of capital has been transformed, and only those who can use it can have higher achievements." ”

"Oh, really?" Xiao Tang smiled noncommittally, and then pouted: "Then do I want to thank you for converting my high-quality company into a pile of useless cash?" ”

"How could it be useless?" Russell pretended to be surprised and looked at Xiao Tang and said, "Cash assets are the most beneficial form for you, and you can engage in investment and financial management." ”

Xiao Tang almost didn't come over in one breath, there was really a sentence that MMP couldn't say, this old guy was so annoying, he glanced at the other party coldly, Xiao Tang said: "Then I want to ask Mr. Russell, what kind of investment can make me profit several times, dozens of times, in two months?" ”

Russell's face froze, a dark horse company like "East Star Daily" is simply unavoidable, and it is thankful that he can meet it once in his life.

Knowing that he couldn't continue to dwell on this topic, Russell changed the subject and said, "David, are you interested in investing in the securities market of a beautiful country?" ”

"This?" Xiao Tang pondered for a while, glanced at Russell, and knew that the old guy had begun to change the topic again, but Xiao Tang didn't care, he had specific arrangements for his next plan, and the "people's plan" had been prepared.

As soon as he thought of this, Xiao Tang's eyes softened when he looked at Russell, they were all revolutionary comrades-in-arms, and there was no need for the relationship to be so stiff.

Looking at Russell with a smile on his face, Xiao Tang laughed unconsciously, but suddenly, he had a thought in his heart, this is still the idea he had when he chatted with Schismund Chun this morning,

In this era, there is a lot to be done in this era, especially in the next decade of "this residence" in Xiangjiang, the popularity of "this residence" is the most popular in the world, but the cost of real estate is too great, and it is not suitable to start now. On the contrary, you can do some work on "food and clothing".

Especially after chatting with Snake Head Chun in the morning, Xiao Tang's idea was even more resolute, the real estate cycle is too long, and for a traverser like Xiao Tang, the cost of time is more important than money.

So when Xiao Tang looked at Russell again, his expression became serious, and he said, "Russell, you Da Mo should also have its own branch in Thailand, right?" ”

Hearing Xiao Tang's inquiry, Russell immediately became interested and asked, "What do you want to do?" ”

Shrugging his shoulders, Xiao Tang smiled: "I have a fancy for a Thai beverage brand and want to buy him, a regional beverage company, if Da Mo can help me complete this business, I think we are still the closest partners." ”

"What's the name of that company?" Russell asked, surprised.

"Tencel Group! If Da Mo can show his strength against me, I think this business can be completed, of course, I want ownership. ”

Xiao Tang remembers that the Red Bull in his previous life was born in Thailand in 1975, and was developed and marketed by Xu Shubiao, a Chinese businessman living in Thailand.

It happens to be this year. Of course, if the acquisition of Tencel Group fails, there is still a great chance to win Red Bull, a brand that has not yet been tested by the market.

After all, in the previous life, until 1986, Red Bull was still trapped in Thailand, and then sold overseas through the hands of an Austrian businessman.

Of course, whether this acquisition can succeed depends on Da Mo's ability, after all, Red Bull is an alternative for him, and his main goal is "Wang Laoji", Snake Head Chun has already found a way to take Zhang Yi back to the mainland, as long as the road is smooth, Xiao Tang feels that a cash cow will be stable.

This was followed by a conversation with Russell about the acquisition.

Unexpectedly, at the last moment, Russell invited Xiao Tang to attend his reception at the Four Seasons Hotel tonight, and he himself was going to fly back to the beautiful country tomorrow, this time inviting some partners and local bankers.

More importantly, to introduce his successor to the public.

In this matter, Xiao Tang did not refuse, but readily agreed. This is a good opportunity to make strong connections, of course he is not willing to let go, there are only a handful of people who can participate in the Da Mo president's cocktail party in Xiangjiang, Russell can personally invite him, and he can clearly feel the kindness of the other party.

The only remaining resentment in his heart also disappeared, and Xiao Tang only now found that this old man was cute again, just like the first time he invested money in him, no matter how he looked at it, it made people feel comfortable.

Of course, Xiao Tang knew in his heart that if something like "Dongxing Daily" happened again, Da Mo would still sell it without hesitation, in fact, the position of other bankers was the same, the world was as black as a crow, and in this capital market, capitalists valued Xiao Tang's ability to make money; And Xiao Tang himself is actually just interested in other people's money.

It's just a game of taking advantage of each other, and whether you win or lose it has nothing to do with others.

Thinking of this, when Xiao Tang looked at Russell again, he said with a smile: "Actually, with my character, I learned that you are leaving tomorrow, I should send you off, after all, with your age, I really don't know when we will see each other again in the future, but someone has taken a step earlier, and I will send him off tomorrow." ”

Russell looked at Xiao Tang with a black line and said speechlessly: "This mouth of yours is the same as the black mamba!" ”

"Haha!" Seeing this old guy deflated, Xiao Tang suddenly smiled, but after a pause, he said lightly: "Actually, I still remember that you gave me a chance." ”

After saying that, Xiao Tang turned around and left in a dashing manner.

"You must come over at night?" Russell looked at Xiao Tang and curled the corners of his mouth.

Without looking back, he waved his hand, and Xiao Tang responded: "Definitely!" ”

Children can distinguish between good and bad, not to mention that he is about to become an adult, the past is over after all, people still have to look forward, trip once, take a detour and start again next time carefully.
