"In principle, there is nothing wrong with these, I was also going to spend a sum of money to renovate the two parks, as for overseas tour groups, I will naturally try my best, which is also good for me, but I am not too sure, foreigners come to travel, the biggest cost is not the cost of the park." Chen Zhiwen thought for a while and said.

One of the reasons for Disney's decline is that the two big parks are getting older, lack of funding, and have few new projects, which leads to fewer people coming and rents falling, creating a vicious circle.

If you want to recover, a large amount of foreign funds for renovation and new projects are necessary, but the most important thing is in the entertainment field, Disney needs to restore its previous strong popularity, in fact, only a strong popularity can attract more people, that is to say, the park itself needs the support of the entertainment industry, otherwise, such a large heavy asset would have died long ago.

"In fact, the Ministry of Commerce is still supportive of your acquisition, and they also hope that you can participate more in investment in the United States, in fact, it is also interesting to use you as a template to attract other international capital, such as Europe and Japan, as long as it is not a sensitive industry!" Jim Hughes said with a smile: "President Reagan's strategy in recent years is actually to attract a large number of foreign capital to invest in the United States, in order to ensure employment in the United States, and then there must be a balance in everything. ”

"Then I have taken the light of President Reagan, so if the Commerce Department agrees, will there be any other problems in the White House Congress?" Chen Zhiwen asked again.

Although the U.S. government and capital are not good things, some basic rules will still be observed, after all, global trade and capital freedom were proposed by the United States, and the original intention was naturally to use the powerful capital of the United States to harvest other countries, but under economic colonization, it is also necessary to abide by a certain degree of reciprocal rules, such as foreign capital can also invest and acquire in the United States, etc., after all, even the British military colonization a hundred years ago also acquiesced in the sale of colonial goods to Britain, claiming freedom of trade.

Of course, with Britain's strong industrial capacity at that time, it was natural that Britain mainly exported various industrial products, and the same is true for the United States today, and to a greater extent, American capital harvested industries or potential companies in other countries.

Even if Disney's benefits are normal, this kind of enterprise will not have the opportunity to be acquired by foreign capital, it can only be said that it is difficult to make a profit in the United States, and most of them are played by American capital, such as the Japanese consortium that desperately buys buildings in the United States in a few years, but with the prophet's golden finger, it can still drill a loophole.

"Yes, but don't worry, large-scale acquisitions, that is, mergers and acquisitions between local companies in the United States, will have this situation, some congressmen will always come out to find trouble for the sake of fame and zz capital, and we will be responsible for this matter, but because of these people, I am afraid that the follow-up will be delayed a little time." Jim Hughes explained: "There are a lot of things to do in Congress, and once someone is looking for something, they need to hold a hearing, in which case it may take a while, but our acquisition does not involve national security, nor does it involve environmental pollution, and those few congressmen will also grasp what American culture, in fact, it is not very useful, capital is the most important thing." ”

"Okay, that is, you basically just have to wait for the follow-up?" Chen Zhiwen asked.

"Yes, just wait for our good news." Jim Hughes nodded.

"OK, this acquisition went well, and if there are other acquisitions in the future, Morgan Stanley will be my top priority." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile, whether it is true or not, draw the cake first, besides, it is indeed a lot more convenient to cooperate with such a large consortium with resources and connections, and all you need to pay is to continuously inform the other party of some high-yield projects that you cannot participate in, in fact, there is almost no cost for yourself.

"It is a great honor to be able to serve you, and we at Morgan Stanley are willing to cooperate with people like Che Display for long-term benefit and mutual benefit." Jim Hughes said with a smile that their consortium is already studying the two investment directions proposed by Chen Zhiwen before, one is junk bonds within the United States, and the other is sovereign bonds in South America.

Although there is no change in the short period of time, the most basic logical analysis is correct, that is, as long as the price of oil remains low, then the U.S. economy will inevitably recover, junk bonds have a strong leverage attribute, once the profit is definitely not low, and the economy in South America will also slowly return to normal with the long-term low oil prices, so that although the country will not necessarily become stronger and better, but the bond problem will also be able to repay, In particular, the IMF and the World Bank are already starting negotiations with countries such as Argentina and Brazil.

After all, according to the World Bank's forecast, the future global population will exceed 10 billion sooner or later, and so many countries in Asia, if the economy rises, the demand for food and meat will definitely be high.

As for the core of the problem: oil prices, now there is a solution, Europe and the United States, as the most developed region in the world, have been cheated by the Middle East twice in a few years, no one can bear it, the United States and developed countries such as Europe and the United States have promoted the establishment of large-scale projects of oil reserves, in order to ensure that even if there is no oil imports, they can have 90 days of reserves, and at the same time, the United States, the military, and bases have also begun to concentrate on the Middle East, and they have also begun to befriend these countries.

Most importantly, Europe and the United States have begun to massively encourage oil development outside of the Middle East and polar bears, and their orders will be distributed to these places.

It's hard to get rid of your dependence on Middle Eastern oil, but it's at least going to get a lot better.

From the perspective of various international factors, the feasibility of the two investment projects proposed by Chen Zhiwen is very high, and Morgan Stanley has also begun to encourage its various clients to invest in these two aspects, so as to obtain profit dividends.

"Well, okay, I'll need to go back to Hong Kong in a few days, keep in touch with me at any time." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said.

In Hong Kong, with the improvement of infrastructure, Big Brother can already be used, which makes Chen Zhiwen's business exchanges much easier, no matter where he is (within Hong Kong), he can receive news from Europe and the United States at any time, and the communication industry is about to usher in a big explosion.

And his next goal, of course, is Land, Hongkong Land also acquired the Hong Kong Telephone Company a year ago, which is actually one of Chen Zhiwen's plans, Hongkong Land is British-owned, and the acquisition of the Hong Kong Telephone Company is basically as long as there is money, but it is much more difficult for him.

However, if Hongkong Land acquires the Hong Kong Telephone Company first, then when it acquires Hongkong Land, it will naturally be able to enter the telecommunications field by the way.

……

As the behind-the-scenes boss of this acquisition, Chen Zhiwen should basically complete it, the most difficult thing about the acquisition is the final pricing and some conditions agreed to the other party or the government, as for the follow-up company management arrangement, who to find to be the CEO of the group, or the future strategic development direction of the company, etc., are all things that need to be prepared after the successful acquisition.

All the time points, he set it well, as long as Disney has it, then the follow-up will go according to plan.

However, this time in the United States, it is not only the acquisition of Disney, but also a small acquisition.

Departing from New York City, Chen Zhiwen's private jet took three hours to arrive in Los Angeles.

In the office of a super building, Henry Morgan took out a contract and said with a smile: "Eric, this is the Los Angeles Lakers' acquisition agreement, they offered $28 million, and then I arranged for Morgan Stanley's people to talk to them for more than a month, and the final price was $23.8 million, and they won't sell it if it is lower." ”

“2380？” Chen Zhiwen smiled, took the document, and looked at it carefully.

That is, basketball has not yet begun to rise in the United States, otherwise, when Jordan leads the NBA to become popular all over the world ten years later, the number of 2380 may not be enough to buy a basketball star with some ability.

The conditions in the document are nothing special, just a normal transaction, with contracts for all of the Lakers' basketball players going along with the deal, as well as several basketball courts in Los Angeles, sports and fitness facilities, and of course, the most important thing is a $13 million debt.

There is no way, normal companies will have debts, and Disney is the same, even if the predecessor of Costco acquired a few years ago, it is the same, and if you want to acquire, you naturally have to bear it, but the transaction price is actually the debt has been deducted.

"How?" After a while, Henry Morgan asked.

"It doesn't seem like a problem, so let's wait until I give the contract to my team of lawyers." Chen Zhiwen said.

Although the transaction negotiation is entrusted to the Morgan consortium, or sometimes other investment banks, or other investment banks selected for acquisitions and investments outside the United States, the contract legal affairs need to go through multiple reviews, Chen Zhiwen has long had his own international legal team, and also cooperates with many local law firms to avoid various legal disputes that may arise.

Even in terms of debt, the investment bank will investigate the debt problem, and Chen Zhiwen will also arrange someone to investigate, although the secret investigation cannot see the other party's financial data, but he only needs to investigate all kinds of large debts, and the other small ones, even if they are hidden, will have little impact, and there is also a accountability mechanism.

"Okay, let me know when you're ready." Henry Morgan nodded and said.

"Don't worry, as long as it's okay, it can be done in a few days." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile.
