After a week of negotiations between lawyers and the business teams of both parties, Chen Zhiwen reached an agreement with Citibank to borrow $25 million from Citibank with the previous acquisition of about $50 million of Walmart shares as collateral, and the money will be used to acquire Walmart shares in the stock market again until the funds are used up, and then discuss the next cooperation plan.

Wal-Mart's current market capitalization is about $800 million, and $25 million is about 3%, which is not a small proportion, plus the Walton family controls most of the stocks, and it is estimated that it will take about three months to acquire them slowly.

And at that time, it will almost enter the 10% tipping point, and if it is announced again, the Walton family should have more or less reacted. Of course, Wal-Mart's stock has been rising, and it may also lead to not receiving enough shares, but the advantage of rising stocks is that the value of the stock has also risen, and it can be used as collateral again.

In short, for stocks, assets or investments with strategic value that he knows will rise sharply in the future, Chen Zhiwen's strategy is to use the bank's funds at every cost, if it were not for the current poor global economic situation, his leverage can be played more fiercely.

After the matter in the United States ended, Chen Zhiwen naturally went back to Hong Kong immediately, and he still felt that it was more comfortable to stay in the territory of the Chinese.

After returning to Hong Kong, the first thing is to go home.

After the company's driver drove the car to the door of the villa community, Chen Zhiwen walked into the community with a small suitcase, along the way, he also met a few neighbors, and said hello to each other a few times, and he can live in this community, his worth is basically 8 figures, and he basically has his own business, but the economic crisis that began last year seems to have an impact on the owners in the community is not small, and the popularity is not enough, and several properties have been hung out, if it is not for the low cost performance of investing in villas, he will buy some.

The Chen family and his wife knew that their son was coming back today, and they had already prepared a sumptuous dinner, Chen Zhiwen ate very refreshingly, before in the United States, although the food was also Michelin-level food, but the food culture of the West is far inferior to the Chinese culture, plus the problem of taste habits, it is still better than Hong Kong.

After dinner, Wu Xiuling commanded the Filipino maid to tidy up the kitchen and hall, and Chen Tianfu and Chen Zhiwen came to a study on the second floor, but speaking of a study, it can actually be said to be a small entertainment place, in which TV massage chairs are readily available, if it were not for the technological limitations of the times, it is estimated that there will be more electronic equipment here, after all, whose study is used to read books?

Turn on the TV and the radio is playing a football match, which is exactly the World Cup in Germany.

Although there is no strong football team in Hong Kong, there are still a lot of fans who like football, especially now that it is still the World Cup, buying football has become a trend, anyway, the stock market and real estate are not good, maybe buying football can make a fortune?

This game is Germany against the Netherlands, a new star of the Dutch team has become the focus of the game, several times led the team to hit the German hinterland, but unfortunately the Germans are too strong, just pulled back the disadvantage, the first half ended 1:0, and then in the second half, although the Dutch team caught up and scored a goal in the 14th minute of the second half, but in the end it was the German ball Muller who scored a goal again, losing to Germany 1:2.

"It's really exciting, but it's a pity that there are too few people in Hong Kong, and the team can't become a scale, if the mainland can also participate in the World Cup one day, not to mention the championship, it shouldn't be difficult to get into the top eight." Chen Tianfu took a sip of Red Bull and said with a smile.

“???” Chen Zhiwen looked embarrassed, and his father was too good at laughing, this kind of thing, a large population is really not useful.......

But if it is said to be an Asian body factor, it seems that it does not make sense why the national football team in later generations cannot play Vietnam......

"Awen, your Red Bull drink, you are really not sleepy after drinking it, it is very similar to coffee, I stayed up late to watch the football some time ago, but it all depends on your drink." Chen Tianfu said.

"It's just that you can sell well by relying on this, otherwise there is no chance." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile.

During this time, the World Cup was held in Germany, because of the time difference, the German morning game was broadcast in the United States in the early morning, which led to a large number of fans needing to stay up late and wait, staying up late at home is naturally impossible, the bar is the best choice, but people will only be more sleepy after drinking, in order to be more energetic, the bar must also sell food or drinks that can make people refreshed.

As early as when the Red Bull US team was formed, Chen Zhiwen asked the business team to start from two aspects, the first is the retail supermarket, and the second is the ubiquitous bars in the United States.

Under normal circumstances, young people go to the bar to drink, but they will also selectively order some drinks, Red Bull can give people a refreshment, which has a great use in the bar market, and the advent of the World Cup, is a big promotion opportunity, under the promotion of the bar owner, many people try to drink Red Bull, stay up late waiting for the game, and also found that the effect is indeed very good, and the concept of "can refresh" will also be remembered by countless young people, they will also be the most stable group of customers of Red Bull in the future.

"It's a pity, this World Cup, it would be nice if you advertised." Chen Tianfu said with a smile.

Chen Zhiwen shrugged and said: "I would like to, but the World Cup advertisements were all sold out two years ago, and money can't buy them." ”

As the world's most famous game, the football World Cup has attracted the attention of almost everyone who has a TV in the world, even in the United States, where there is football (American football) and baseball, there are still many people who like football, and any international brand will not give up the sponsorship of this game, especially beverages, clothing, footwear, automobiles, electrical appliances and other civilian products, are sponsored with seven-figure dollar advertising dollars.

Chen Zhiwen naturally knows the influence of the World Cup, but it is too late, and he can only wait for the next round of the Argentina World Cup four years later.

"It's a pity." Chen Tianfu nodded and said.

"It's okay, when we have money in the future, let's buy a European league team to play." Chen Zhiwen laughed.

In the future, Red Bull's demand for advertising is endless, and instead of spending hundreds of millions of dollars or more on cheap advertising companies every year, it is better to invest in a team yourself, which can save a lot of advertising costs, and the team itself can also make a profit, killing two birds with one stone.

"That's a glory for us Chinese." Chen Tianfu said with a smile.

"What kind of glory do you have money for? When the Chinese team wins, it is called glory. Chen Zhiwen shrugged and said, the Hong Kong team seems to be unable to do it, I don't know if he will give him some help after a few years later, I don't know if there is such an opportunity?

If you succeed, it is not only a matter of honor, but also a strong reputation, which is also good for your company.

"Forget it, let's not talk about football, Awen, the RB Shizuoka Bank you introduced recently, I borrowed almost 50 million Hong Kong dollars from them, and now they want me to borrow yen, do you think it will work?" Chen Tianfu asked suddenly.
