381 Target: Disney

"That's okay, I'm in New York during this time, any day, just tell me in advance, and if it's the location, it's in this hotel." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said. When the wealth reaches a certain size, especially after many investments have been very successful, then it is natural to reach out to some large conglomerates.

The old consortium, ZZ has a strong background, a very deep network, and a lot of funds, while the upstarts who have just risen are very poor in these aspects, but they understand the current market demand and future development direction of the society, and the cooperation between the two sides is theoretically mutually beneficial.

In this society, interests come first, even if you may not be able to spend a day earning money in your lifetime, but everyone is still desperate to make more money, which may be the goal of life, otherwise, there is no pursuit, and life is too meaningless.

"Okay, then I'll arrange it." Henry said with a smile.

Three days later, in a sunny presidential suite with an area of more than 200 square meters in the Douglas Hotel, Chen Zhiwen saw a man with golden and white hair about 60 years old, very tall, seemingly close to 2 meters, Chen Zhiwen was also 1.8 tall, but he still felt a certain sense of oppression.

"Eric, this is Jason. Morgan, my cousin. Henry Morgan introduced, "Jason, this is Eric. ”

"Hello Eric, you're younger than I thought." Jason Morgan shook hands and smiled.

"Hello, Mr. Morgan." Chen Zhiwen also replied politely.

Everyone sat down, and Chen Zhiwen had already arranged bitter coffee, which was the preference of the other party that Henry Morgan had informed in advance.

"What a bitter coffee." Jason Morgan said with a smile after taking a sip of coffee.

"Why don't you have some tea?" Chen Zhiwen said.

"No, this coffee without milk and sugar reminds me to keep an eye on my mouth." Jason Morgan shook his head and smiled.

"I've heard that MiniMed's commercial insulin is about to hit the market, and it's more harmful to the human body than the insulin currently on the market, and I thought, Jason, you won't have to work so hard soon." Henry Morgan said.

Jason Morgan said: "I know, I have also invested in this company, and I have more or less invested in other American companies that study insulin, that is, I hope they will promote it with less side effects as soon as possible without losing money." ”

"That's good." Henry Morgan said to Chen Zhiwen again.

"Let the guests laugh, I have diabetes, I need insulin injections every day, basically sweet oil, I can't touch it." Jason Morgan said with a laugh.

"I see, if this insulin can be produced on a large scale and there are no side effects, it will indeed be a blessing for all mankind." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said.

After the crossing, he is not bad for money, but he also attaches great importance to his diet and body, the biggest trouble, is the threat of "rich disease" diabetes, and later generations only need to inject a few dozen yuan of insulin a day, insulin in this era, the price is ridiculously expensive, and it needs to be collected from animal pancreas, mainly pigs and cows.

A few tons of pancreas can make a small amount of insulin, and the demand is too high, the whole Europe and the United States do not know how many people have this disease, only a small number of wealthy groups can use it, and this insulin is harmful to the body, long-term use is still the same threat to health.

In the era when insulin could not be produced on a large scale, the threat of "wealth disease" was greater than cancer.

"It also represents a huge fortune, and although the pharmaceutical industry is risky, it is particularly profitable." Jason said with a smile.

"High risk is high return, and the value of insulin is indeed a gold mountain in the future." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said.

Unlike the general targeted drug market, which is very small, the demand for insulin is very large, and the price of cabbage can be achieved in the future, which is the reason, but in his memory, the future insulin giant seems to be the European Novartis Nordisk pharmaceutical company.

"You're right, but sometimes it's not good if the risk is too high, even if the profit is too big, the risk is too high, and we investors are too worried." Jason smiled and said, "Eric, I have studied your fortune process, you seem to be in the right position every step of the way, you started at the most opportune time, and in the end you also got the highest returns, I am curious, how did you do this?" ”

"Business analysis, and an understanding of market needs, or focusing on investing in those, people who have an understanding of the market." Chen Zhiwen said that in front of the Chinese, he generally chooses to be a little modest, which is the basic culture of the Chinese, but in front of Westerners, he has to show his strength.

"Just like Apple? I have to say that the income from your investment in Apple, my Morgan family has not been able to do it for so many years. Jason Morgan said with a smile.

"The electronic technology industry is the most special, unlike the traditional industry, as long as the product is developed that is recognized by the market, then the sales will increase exponentially until the market is saturated." Chen Zhiwen said: "Of course, the premise is to be able to always lead the market. ”

"We also know this, but how to choose the right target, it is too difficult to choose." Jason smiled and said: "So we want to be able to work with you, Eric, you have a very keen market eye, and we have a huge amount of money, if we work together, it's a win-win situation."

Of course, I also know that Eric has a lot of funds in your hands, but compared to the amount of funds on Wall Street every day, it is not enough, besides, for the sake of your identity, you are not suitable for investing too much in many European and American investments, but we can, in return, in addition to direct profit dividends, we can also help you in other areas. ”

"Which areas?" Chen Zhiwen asked, his prophetic golden finger, in fact, is not used in many places, especially in some sensitive fields such as finance, science and technology, and high technology in Europe and the United States.

"Your beauty is a technology company, involving a lot of patented technology, I know you have the money to buy a lot of patents, but there are also some that are restricted by the White House, in this regard, I can help you, as long as it is not too sensitive technology, such as cutting-edge chip manufacturing process, and others, we can level the Ministry of Commerce for you." Jason Morgan said with a laugh.

"That's okay, but I'm not very high in demand for this, and in the real high-tech field, there aren't many things involved in beauty." Chen Zhiwen said.

It's not that I don't want to develop high-tech, but the population and environment of Hong Kong are doomed to be impossible, and in the mainland, it may be possible in a few decades, but now, it is very good to be able to meet the most basic technical needs of the United States.

And Midea set up research laboratories in Europe and the United States, the technology developed by the United States, Midea can also be used, as long as it is not super sensitive, such as the kind of communication technology of Huawei in the future, and now Midea can not be developed, Midea's main business is still the civilian market, and the civilian terminal is the largest market and the most profitable, of course, there are some giants in some non-civilian terminal business in later generations, but the number is far behind.

"Then you always need to buy some European and American technology companies, right? I have studied your fortune process, you like to develop yourself through mergers and acquisitions, early acquisition of some small-scale companies or ordinary industries, European and American governments generally do not care, but today's scale, can be seen by you, I'm afraid it's not a small scale, right? Jason Morgan still said calmly: "It's still the same sentence, it's just not the most cutting-edge high-tech or military industrial enterprise in the United States, as long as you have money, Coca-Cola and I can help you buy it." ”

"It's fascinating." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said.

"You have a crush on Coca-Cola?" Jason was stunned for a moment and said, "If you're really interested, can we really try it?" ”

"That's not it, in fact, I'm already a shareholder of Coca-Cola, and I've been buying Coca-Cola's shares for the past two years, and it's almost 5%, and I'll be ready to announce it when the time is right." Chen Zhiwen shook his head and said.

Coca-Cola, the future is bright, in 1981, after the new CEO Goizueta took office, the overall situation was reformed, in the next 15 years, Coca-Cola's market value rose from $4.1 billion to $170 billion, an increase of no less than General Electric, Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway, and even Buffett will buy Coca-Cola shares in a few years.

The profits from the gold market, Chen Zhiwen arranged to buy the shares of these future giants in traditional industries, and their plates were big enough, unlike technology companies, which could hold huge amounts of money.

But the acquisition of Coca-Cola, that is unrealistic, the first needs a huge amount of money, Chen Zhiwen may be able to come up, but it is not cost-effective to spend a large amount of money on this company, the second is that if Coca-Cola loses the blessing of the US government, can it develop to the scale of more than ten years later, this is a big question.

And the biggest problem is that people are definitely not willing to sell, is it possible that they still launch a hostile merger and acquisition in the United States? Coca-Cola now has a market capitalization of more than $5 billion, and hostile mergers and acquisitions are unlikely to succeed and will cause serious losses.

"That's okay, Pepsi does." Jason laughed.

"No, I'm not very interested in this kind of big beverage and food industry, but it's another U.S. listed company, if I have the opportunity, I want to try." Chen Zhiwen continued.

Although he has Red Bull drinks, very cola and some food brands, but these are built by themselves, the investment required is not large, seize the market demand can develop rapidly, the future will also become one of the local giants, relatively speaking, the cost is much lower, cost-effective, even if you want to acquire some such companies in the United States in the future, you will choose a little smaller.

"Which one?" Jason Morgan immediately asked, to cooperate, naturally have to reflect the value, can do one thing that others can't do, that is, success, besides, big investment banks or banks are not charity, when it comes to big acquisitions, all investment banks will go all out to promote, because the profits in this are too fragrant, promoting mergers and acquisitions between large companies, is one of the main businesses of the Morgan consortium, which can not only make money, but also increase their influence.

"Disney." Chen Zhiwen said.

"You want to buy Disney?" Jason Morgan's face changed, and so did Henry on the side, he couldn't imagine that Chen Zhiwen actually had this ambition.

"Is it difficult? It's not a sensitive technology company, is it? Chen Zhiwen said with a smile.

"That being said, but Disney's Mickey Mouse used to be the idol of the whole United States, even when I was a child, I also liked it very much, this kind of company is of great significance in the United States, if it is acquired by other consortiums in the United States, it is not a problem at all, but if it is acquired by foreign capital, it will be very controversial." Jason said.

"Since President Reagan took office, the words on his lips are that the United States wants to attract foreign investment, and it has also relaxed restrictions on Hollywood giant companies, if there is a foreign capital to buy Disney at this time, I don't think he will oppose it, right?" Chen Zhiwen said with a smile: "Besides, Mickey Mouse is just a cartoon character that American children once liked, but now, it's not very good, otherwise, I wouldn't have the idea of buying Disney." ”

Disney's splendor is in Walt. Disney is the founder, but when Walt Disney died in 1966, the company fell into the hands of the next generation, and it began to be worse year by year, and even the ancestral business of the previous generation could not be kept.

That's right, it's Little Japan, not only in the physical industries of textiles, garments, steel, home appliances, automobiles, chips, but even virtual cartoon characters, and Japanese animation are gradually gaining a higher market share in the United States.

The second-generation management of Disney, when the animation market was powerless and did not innovate, thought about making money from other things, learning to imitate other entertainment companies, which Hollywood company made a blockbuster movie, they followed the trend, and then naturally it was bloody, and the loss in the film market was as high as 10 million US dollars every year.

Disneyland, Disneyland, Disney's largest business, is unable to attract regular tourists because it has no funds to renovate, and its business is getting worse and worse.

Therefore, Disney's stock has fallen from $3.5 billion at its peak to $1.4 billion now, and the market is still not optimistic about the future of Disney, which also gives Chen Zhiwen the opportunity to acquire.

"You have a point in saying that, but I still can't reply to you directly right now, wait until I ask a friend at the U.S. Department of Commerce, and then tell you." Jason Morgan thought for a moment and said.

"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said, in fact, it is not difficult for him to acquire a Hollywood company, but Disney is a little special, and the potential of ordinary Hollywood companies is not as great as Disney.

“OK。” Jerry Morgan said, "Since Eric you made a request, I'll also mention one, how about it?" ”
