362 Win-win cooperation with the establishment of Yanjing Jeep
"If you can acquire some of RCA's other businesses, it will be more convenient, and my financial pressure will be much less." Henry Morgan nodded and said.
In this way, the risk of this plan is not very high, and the benefits are large, enough to change your fate, it is worth fighting for yourself, besides, even if you lose, at most you will lose some money in the stock market, compared to the gains, it is nothing.
"It's too far to say this, let's think about this first thing first, Henry, after you go back, you have to prepare to start by yourself, in terms of funds, I can support you some, but not much, large-scale acquisitions, all over the world need to rely on bank loans, and after you start, we have gained a certain initiative, and then, you will inform your family, otherwise, I am worried that someone in your family will directly leave you to do it, and when the time comes, you will purely make wedding dresses for others." Chen Zhiwen reminded that Henry Morgan can only say that his status is not low in his family, but there are still many people who are higher than him, there is no conflict of interest in ordinary times, maybe the relationship is okay, but when it comes to an opportunity to acquire the three major TV stations, who will give up?
Even if the family is united, it is possible that the whole family will get rid of Henry and do it alone, and the evidence that can stab the RCA is everywhere in the underground water below Taoyuan City, and he has no exclusive.
"Understood." Henry Morgan nodded and said.
"Okay, you go back to the United States first, find a way to start acquiring RCA's shares through multiple accounts, but don't go through Morgan's financial institutions first, RCA's current market value is about three or four billion US dollars, you need to acquire about 15% first, this is basically the limit of the secret acquisition, and then contact your family, and then do it, I can provide part of the loan in the early stage, but I will completely leave myself alone in the later stage, no matter this matter, I can only see you later." Chen Zhiwen said. The money lent to the other party,Naturally, it also needs to be repaid,Or replace it with other interests,This acquisition,His main purpose is RCA's TV sales network throughout the United States and decades of technical foundation,Although it is now a little worse than the Japanese system,But it is not too big a gap,If you get these technologies and sales network,It will be a qualitative improvement for the home appliance business of the United States,And all that is needed is to borrow a little money,If Henry succeeds, It was also good that the money was used to buy a television business.
However, in the United States, the acquisition of shares of listed companies, every 5%, must be announced, otherwise it may be declared invalid, therefore, through multi-account acquisition, it will be more stable, but this is actually easy to be caught by opponents, because once these stocks finally gather together, it is a violation, after all, this is not a pure economic investment, but this kind of thing, the Morgan family, there will always be a way to solve it, otherwise, it is not worthy of being called the top investment bank in the United States.
In addition, this acquisition is different from several outbreaks in the Hong Kong market, even if RCA is sniped, the market value of its stock is not easy to get, the best way is to negotiate with the other party, start at a suitable price, and now the early acquisition, just to occupy the initiative, and reduce the cost factor of future acquisitions.
"Understood." Henry Morgan nodded, he also knew that the easiest step on the secret acquisition, the follow-up needs to work against RCA, is the most difficult, although he will also have the help of the family behind him, but the decision must be made by himself.
"Also, contact a large number of environmental protection agencies in advance, don't say anything to them, donate some money first, and get to know each other when needed, these people can play a very big role." Chen Zhiwen said again.
The Holy Mother of Environmental Protection in the West, can be described as amazing in combat effectiveness, I don't know how many of the world's top 500 multinational giants, by these people to play to death, such as the later generations of Tesla, to invest in Germany to build a factory, but because of the hibernation of some snakes, and forced to postpone for a few months, Tesla wants to quietly remove them, and is even willing to provide air-conditioned rooms to ensure that they will not freeze to death, but the Virgin of Environmental Protection is to grasp the principle of "animal hibernation can not be disturbed", and Tesla is forced to have no way to start, only in the spring, the snake woke up and left, That's the end of it.
Of course, in this matter, there must also be traditional auto giants behind the promotion, everyone knows how to dare you of this group of environmentalists?
This time, it is suspected of polluting a city's water source, and a large number of carcinogenic heavy metal elements and compounds threaten the lives of hundreds of thousands of people.
Of course, only the American consortium can play like this, and Chen Zhiwen will never be directly involved.
"Okay, I know what you mean." Henry Morgan smiled, he also knew that the "environmental protection card" was a weapon in his hands.
"OK, then I'll wait for your good news." Chen Zhiwen nodded, he only hoped to borrow a knife to kill people, but he wouldn't do it himself, he just needed to enjoy the final result. As for whether there will be a problem, the probability is not large, as long as Henry Morgan can really acquire RCA, RCA's TV business, itself is not favored internally, although it can still be profitable, but the profit margin is very low, and the market is gradually swallowed up by the Japanese.
In this case, in fact, even if you are looking for RCA normally and want to acquire the other party's TV business, it is possible to negotiate, however, Wanwan's side is equivalent to a bomb, and you must detonate it before you can start it, otherwise you can be killed in the future.
Moreover, such a frenzied enterprise should be punished for doing such a thing in a place where Chinese people live. Just breaking the news on their own, they may not be able to fight the RCA in the United States at all, and they may offend the White House, and even the Wanwan government may not do it for the sake of economic employment, which will not only embarrass themselves and make enemies everywhere, but also cause those who are injured by pollution to not get due compensation.
If a difficult thing can succeed, it needs to have strong enough allies, and if this thing is successful, there will be huge benefits, and everyone will promote it for the sake of profit.
Originally, Chen Zhiwen wanted to give this opportunity to General Electric, so that after the relationship is good, he can also get some good things from General Electric, but now it is cheap Henry Morgan, and the benefits are greater for himself, after all, General Electric acquired NBC, it has nothing to do with him, but if Henry Morgan buys it, at least in the short term, he will definitely cooperate with him, and he has a deep cooperative relationship with him, and the personal relationship is not bad, not to talk about absolute control, But as long as there are no issues of principle, Henry Morgan, who controls a TV station, will not have any major conflicts with himself, because there is no conflict of interest, but there will be more cooperation in the future.
Of course, there is no absolute 100% success in this kind of thing, and there is no 100% success in doing business, as long as the probability is high enough, then just do it.
"Okay, when I make progress, I'll be the first to contact you." Henry Morgan's eyes seem to be different from before, he was a successful person before, but he was not at the top, but if he seized this opportunity today, it would be a higher level, and his eyes were full of hope.
"By the way, to say up front, if you make a successful acquisition of NBC, maybe we also have a chance to work together in terms of airing content." Chen Zhiwen said.
"What do you mean?" Henry didn't get it.
"TV stations and content producers in the United States can be separated, and perhaps, I will invest in some projects to do TV content, such as investing in TV dramas, variety shows, and so on." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile, as a traverser, he naturally knows many classic global variety shows in later generations, but his main business was in electronics, real estate, food and other fields before, and now these fields can basically make their own blood, so he can also do something else.
In fact, even if it is a variety show, the profit is actually not as good as the electronics industry, but if the variety show is done well, it can affect the global TV station, which is a move for him to maintain his own industry. Anyway, this kind of thing doesn't need him to do much, just provide some creativity, and there will naturally be professional people to take over later, just like video games.
"You're going to be a film and television production company? That works that way, and our cooperation is even better. Henry nodded, and then asked, "What is the show?" ”
"It's too early to say, and there is a high probability that I will test the waters in Hong Kong now, and then push it to the United States if I succeed." Chen Zhiwen smiled and said, today's TVB has basically monopolized Hong Kong, and the other Li's can basically only be said to be lingering, unlike the original history, in the face of the powerful TVB, no one is willing to buy Li's at all, maybe in the history of Hong Kong, there will never be ATV again.
Limited by the development of the background, TVB can basically only develop in Hong Kong and Macau, other regions, but it can be transmitted through satellite signals, and there are some achievements at present, but this cannot solve the essential problem, there is no license from overseas countries, and the upper limit of TVB is like this.
The only way is to output content, which was the case with TVB in the original history, and now it is natural to take this road, and it will only go further.
"That's fine, even if I buy NBC, I'm afraid I won't be able to say anything in a short time, and with Hong Kong's results, I'm also a little convincing." Henry said.
“OK。” Chen Zhiwen nodded, suddenly thought of one thing, and said with a smile: "There is another small thing, my Hutchison is ready to invest in ports in Asia, and it is needed."
After listening to Chen Zhiwen's introduction, Henry Morgan said: "I understand what you mean, I can find some port companies in the United States through some friends and let them also participate in the investment, but the problem is that these companies may have the same idea as you, if you introduce them, will they lead the wolf into the house, and in the end, they will give you out alone." ”
"What about finding some ordinary investment funds?" Chen Zhiwen asked.
"These big funds don't want to compete with you for business, and they have a lot of influence, but they are generally conservative, and even if they are willing to invest in ports, they will choose those ports that are already stable and have financial data, rather than new ones that have not been built." Henry Morgan said: "I have an idea, you can go public in the United States, so that you can get a lot of money, and you can also hang the banner of a listed company in the United States, so that no one dares to do anything to you, at least take into account the face of the US government." ”
"Going public in the U.S.?" Chen Zhiwen frowned, he privatized Hutchison because he knew that the value of a large number of land under Hutchison would double in the next few years, and the first privatization would lead to higher returns, but now, the bull market in Hong Kong has passed, and a large amount of Hutchison's land value has been almost used, and it is not a problem to go public, originally he planned to wait until a few years after the real estate crisis is over.
"Yes, there are many American shareholders in companies listed in the United States, and if they are treated too unfairly, the U.S. government will naturally intervene, otherwise, it will not only lose face, but also make other foreign companies not come to the United States to list again, and Wall Street will not agree to this." Henry Morgan said with a smile.
"I need to think about it, but I might divest some of the business and go public in the U.S." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said, next, Hutchison's main investment direction is domestic infrastructure and foreign port and mineral investment, domestic investment does not need American capital, but the latter two abroad, if the business is listed in the United States, it will indeed be much more stable.
"That's no problem, Morgan Stanley is professional in listing things, if you decide, just tell me, and guarantee that the service will satisfy you." Henry Morgan nodded and said.
Henry Morgan, who originally just came to discuss some small things and then took the mood to come for vacation by the way, immediately quit his hotel after being instilled with a bright future by Chen Zhiwen, and returned to the United States on his own private jet that night.
Chen Zhiwen continues to stay in Hong Kong, now all its companies have basically entered the normal operation, and have grown up, there is no shortage of funds, for mature large enterprises, what is needed is a variety of high-end technology, and Chen Zhiwen, this aspect can not be intervened, only need to control the strategic direction of the big investment, and even many branches have begun to delegate power, giving their subordinates greater freedom to manage and control the amount of investment.
For example, Midea, Red Bull, and Hutchison, these three companies have a lot of cash flow, Chen Zhiwen's original control of the general manager is more than one million dollars and requires his signature or at least oral application first, and now this figure has become 5 million US dollars, and the corresponding rights of the following vice presidents will also increase, however, the head office still has a large financial audit team, and they will track down the use of each fund of more than $10,000 after the fact, so as to ensure the integrity of the entire company, once corruption is found, then immediately sent to the Independent Commission Against Corruption.
At the beginning of the establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, it is indeed extremely beautiful, but everything will flourish and decline, even if the Hong Kong Governor authorizes, it can not withstand the resistance of all government departments, in 77 years, a police parade, forced the Independent Commission Against Corruption to have to give in, and the Hong Kong government also began to restrict the Independent Commission Against Corruption, which naturally led to a great reduction in the prestige of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, but it is still very easy to clean up some company-level figures.
Taking advantage of the Hong Kong economic crisis and the suspension of domestic investment during this period, Chen Zhiwen also spent his time to form a certain balance within the entire company, so that he was much more relaxed.
As the clock ticked, it was soon November.
Henry Morgan came with good news in the United States, he contacted several RCA shareholders through an investment bank in Canada, and reached an agreement at the "right" price, however, the equity was not traded directly, but the deposit and liquidated damages were paid in advance, and a total of 8.7% of the shares were locked, and the transfer of ownership was made when the time came in the future, which was naturally to avoid the 5% notification system in the US Public Company Act. At the same time, Henry is also making acquisitions in the stock market, which means that in a month, he owns 10% of the shares, a speed that Chen Zhiwen did not expect.
If this progress is followed, then by the beginning of next year, we will be able to start with the RCA.
Henry Morgan spent millions of dollars in a row and got acquainted with more than a dozen "extreme" environmental protection organizations, and in the case of throwing money, these environmental protection organizations liked this stupid and rich "big tyrant" very much.
Henry Morgan's success surprised Chen Zhiwen greatly, and the other news was the same.
After a year of negotiations, AMC and China formally reached a cooperation agreement, and the two sides invested a total of 180 million US dollars to establish a joint venture automobile plant in Yanjing City, the first joint venture automobile factory in the history of the mainland.
This amount far exceeds the investment of AMC in the past, because today's investment is not only an assembly plant, but also a complete set of four major automobile processes, including stamping, painting, and welding.
However, the investment is large, and Yanjing can't get the corresponding assets worth 90 million US dollars, after all, the entire Yanjing City, last year's financial revenue was only 5 billion yuan, and it is still a deficit.
At the same time, near the Yanjing Automobile Factory, Yanjing City has specially granted a piece of land with an area of about 200,000 square meters to Hehuang to build hotels and office buildings to facilitate the external reception of the automobile industrial zone.
Of course, such cooperation needs to be signed in the Great Hall of the People, and Chen Zhiwen also deliberately went to Yanjing again, and completed the signing ceremony with the First Aircraft Department under the filming of the news network.
Since then, Yanjing Jeep has been officially established. AMC in the United States has already prepared 500 sets of various parts, as long as the assembly plant here in China is built first, it can be shipped, and Jeep such an excellent car was ordered by the domestic, military and party at the first time.
On the other hand, when Yanjing Jeep was established, the research and development of Wuling Shenche officially began, but the direction has been set, and Chen Zhiwen does not need to ask, and when the future prototype car is completed, he will take a look.
