A month later, Chen Zhiwen got the news that the board of directors of Rio Tinto Group agreed to Chen Zhiwen's request in principle, but how to distribute the follow-up sales distribution rights still needs to be negotiated, and the lithium mine, Rio Tinto agreed to package and sell to Hutchison, in terms of price, Hutchison also immediately sent representatives to the United Kingdom to conduct a review of related industries, and after the end, the price will be negotiated again, and the transaction can be directly traded.

On the other hand, Hutchison has also begun to contact other mining giants around the world, and even some countries, intending to acquire the lithium mines they own, some of which are not negotiable, and are directly rejected, while some are negotiable, which is enough, no matter how big Ren Chen Zhiwen's heart is, he has never thought of monopolizing this industry, which is unlikely, and after the value of lithium is discovered, there will inevitably be more lithium mines, as long as he can eat a big mouthful of meat, it is enough.

In the last few months of 1986, several major events happened, the first is naturally the listing of the United States' Weisoft, Chen Zhiwen as a major shareholder, it is also the time to get returns, however, he did not show up, the current Weisoft, in the operating system has been regarded as a leading position, in the eyes of the US government, the strategic significance is getting bigger and bigger, as a Chinese, it is inconvenient to hold so many shares, at least not on the bright side.

So, taking advantage of the listing, Chen Zhiwen publicly sold the soft shares many times, cashed out and left, but on the other hand, it was a large number of leather bag companies to continue to take over, of course, this model also has an upper limit, in any case, it is not comparable to holding nearly 2 percent of the soft shares, almost to a little more than one percent is the limit, and no more will make people find abnormalities. However, one percent of the soft stocks will also have sky-high returns in the future.

The second thing is that the Hong Kong government continued to auction several high-quality lands at the end of 86, including a piece of land next to the Admiralty Land King in early 85, which was also taken by Hongkong Land, and then began to build the second phase of the Mandarin Commercial Plaza, and when it was fully completed, the total area was as high as 3 million square feet, so that Hongkong Land was not only the land king of Central and Tsim Sha Tsui, but also became the land king of Admiralty in a blink of an eye.

The third thing is that Dragonair was officially established, Chen Zhiwen, Li Jiacheng, Bao Yugang, Huo Yingdong and other dozens of Chinese bigwigs went to celebrate in person, TVB live, all news headlines are about this, and Dragonair also through the relationship in the mainland, got the routes of several mainland cities, and bought 3 8 into a new Boeing 737 aircraft to transport passengers, plus 5 second-hand older planes to serve as cargo planes, starting a new journey of Chinese Airlines, Chen Zhiwen announced on the spot that many of his electronic products, Air freight orders will be given priority to Dragonair, and this used to be Cathay Pacific.

On the other hand, Red Bull's very Coke, suddenly began to carry out a very interesting activity in the Asian market, not a price reduction, but to open the bottle cap "another bottle" activity, which instantly attracted countless people to buy, the winning rate is not low, such an operation, immediately gave Coca-Cola a certain pressure, and Coca-Cola's foundry, is the Swire Group, coupled with the increase in labor costs in Hong Kong in recent years, the Swire Group's beverage factory, immediately began to fall into certain difficulties.

Of course, such a problem is not difficult for Swire Group, but the share price of Swire Properties has also been very abnormal in recent months, with ups and downs, and it seems that someone is maliciously manipulating, and even the news that Hongkong Land intends to forcibly acquire Swire Properties in the market suddenly shocked the Schwya's family and hurriedly prepared to withdraw funds to acquire the shares.

If there is a problem with one subsidiary, Swire can easily solve it, but when all three have problems, although Swire will not say that there is a problem with funds, a lot of resources can be invested in the defense war, and there is almost no power to expand.

After Chen Zhiwen found everything, he was not in a hurry, it was very difficult for such a company that had no big problems in itself, and it would take a long time, and it would be enough to be able to keep bleeding them through Dragonair and Liu Luanxiong.

Fast forward to February 1987.

Chen Zhiwen came to the United States again, however, this time the difference is that the two children also came together, and now the two are almost two years old, and they always like to look around to see the scenery, anyway, for the Chen family who has a private jet, even if there are two more children, travel will not have much impact, including nannies, bodyguards, doctors and a lot of supplies, can be easily brought on the plane.

Came to Los Angeles, Liu Xiaoli and his parents and a bunch of bodyguards and others, went to the bustling center to play, after the second generation of the Chen family began to grow up, Chen Tianfu basically didn't care about his own career, but there were successors, his company was handed over to professional managers, his main task is to accompany the child to grow up, Chen Zhiwen also understands, maybe decades later, when he has a grandson, he may also want to do this, but the premise is that his son must have the ability to take charge of the company.

In the prosperous areas of the United States, security is generally okay, and I also specially entrusted friends of the Morgan family to find some bodyguards who are good at remote protection.

As for Chen Zhiwen himself, there was something to do, and soon, he came to the headquarters building of Disney.

"Boss, welcome to our new building." Disney President Michael Eisner said with a smile.

"It's a nice building, it's much more beautiful than I look at in the photos." Chen Zhiwen smiled and said, Disney's previous headquarters has been used for too long, or decades ago, when the founder of Walt Disney was in power, as time passes, although it is not said to have potential safety hazards, but it is too old, and many infrastructures can no longer keep up.

So, I bought a new building, the price is not expensive, only more than 30 million US dollars, because it is not in the center of the city, after all, it is not a financial, legal, accounting-related company, there is no need to put the headquarters in Los Angeles, even Silicon Valley companies are like this.

With only more than 30 million US dollars, it is natural that Chen Zhiwen will not be allowed to come to Los Angeles in the coldest time, Eisner sent someone to send a large number of photos and materials to Hong Kong, and Chen Zhiwen agreed after reading it.

"Please come in, let's take a look inside, I've got a most luxurious office for you." Eisner said with a smile that he still has a lot of face for this boss who doesn't interfere with his management freedom, and as a professional manager, who doesn't want that? Even a professional manager of a company without a major shareholder like General Electric or Coca-Cola can't compare to him in some aspects, for example, if he wants a big investment, he only needs to convince Chen Zhiwen alone, and Chen Zhiwen respects him very much, believes in his theories and data, even if he disagrees, there are enough reasons, and others, I don't know how many board members to convince to do it!

"Okay." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said.

Subsequently, a group of people went around the whole building, the building is not very high, a total of only 22 floors, but it covers a large area, this construction logic is because the land price is not valuable, so the area of the building is large and the floor is low, the same is true of Hong Kong in the past, and the suburbs of the United States, such a building is already considered high.

After returning to his office, Chen Zhiwen said: "The Lion King is starting to prepare for release in other parts of the world, right? ”

came to Disney on purpose, naturally there was a big event, that is, the success of "The Lion King".

"Yes, "The Lion King" has basically been released in the United States, and the next step is to prepare to go global, according to the ratio of the United States and the global box office in the past, the total box office of "The Lion King" will exceed 900 million US dollars, and it will become the most successful Hollywood movie in the past ten years." Eisner said, with a smile in his eyes. It's really the anime "The Lion King" that is too successful, the cost is only 30 million US dollars, and the US box office can exceed 450 million US dollars, plus the overseas box office, then, just in the film share can get several times the benefits, and the follow-up of various peripherals is not saved is even bigger.

If the previous "Beauty and the Beast" solved Disney's confidence problem, then today's "The Lion King" has almost solved all of Disney's debt problems, and the subsequent development, even if there is no hit movie like "The Lion King", in the context of no big debt and global economic recovery, Disney has no negative pressure.

"Okay, continue to shoot all kinds of anime later, what to shoot, you decide, in addition, you also need to make more use of the latest computer technology, saving money is secondary, the main thing is to save time." Chen Zhiwen said again.

There are some classic anime movies that Chen Zhiwen knows, but he also knows the name, and even the plot is almost forgotten, just like normal Hollywood movies, he basically has no impression of all the movies, so even if he didn't have any funds when he first crossed over in the 70s, he didn't participate in the film or entertainment industry, because there was no way to start, just like the "Home Alone" movie that everyone knows, it must be low investment and high return, but he doesn't remember the plot at all, and if he wants to make this money, he doesn't have the ability.

The acquisition of Disney, like the acquisition of TVB, what he needs is actually this platform, and then hand it over to the right people to manage, and then assist a little bit of financial resources, you can maximize the benefits, in the original history, Eisner with Disney rise, then his personal must also have a very strong ability, now, Disney is a few years earlier, get rid of the debt problem in the past, it is equivalent to a few more years of early development time, plus Chen Zhiwen's financial support, the future potential is unlimited.

And the "Lion King" movie can be shot quickly, in addition to Chen Zhiwen's direct and refreshing support, there is also the beginning of computer painting in Disney internal popularization, although the current function is still very low-level, but under normal circumstances, most of the work, the most wasted time is the constant low-level repetition, but the computer can solve this problem to a large extent, the saved labor, although it is also worth a lot of money, can be compared with time, but it is a small meaning, if the future continues to be able to launch a large number of high-quality animated films, The most important thing is the speed of rollout.

"Okay, we've already tasted the benefits in this area and will definitely switch to using computers." Eisner nodded.

"The Disneyland in Hong Kong is already under construction, and it is estimated that the first phase will open in early 1990, and now the Disneyland in the United States has basically no economic problems, do you think we should consider building a fifth Disneyland." Chen Zhiwen then said.

"Boss, you mean, you're ready to build a Disneyland in Europe?" Eisner asked.

In fact, as early as the 70s, Disney had plans to build Disneyland in Japan and Europe at the same time, but because of the sudden oil crisis, the global economic turmoil, and the death of Walt Disney, Disney's revenue was declining, and it was gradually unable to expand globally.

Even the countries in Europe are not that interested, after all, when there is no oil, France is in a hurry to find oil in the center of Paris, and there is not enough oil, who will give you a tour? As for the Japanese one, it can also be said that because the Japanese have a vision, and they have been in a state of oil shortage, they have always been prepared, so they were the least affected by the oil crisis, so they took all the shares of the Japanese Disney joint venture, and finally the reality also pointed out that they were right.

After the 80s, the global economy improved, and Europe began to be interested in introducing Disneyland, but because of Chen Zhiwen's personal reasons, the world's fourth Disney park settled in Hong Kong, but now the economic problems of Disney Corporation have also improved, so it can be reconsidered to build Disneyland in Europe.

"Yes, Europe is also a collection of developed countries, although because of the difference in currency and language, the internal market is largely inferior to the United States, but this is also a market we need to strive for, and, with the paradise, it is more convenient to launch a variety of our peripheral products." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said.

Do you really think Disney makes money from parks?

, the park, it's just one of them, it doesn't even matter if it doesn't make money, it's an important means for the entire Disneyland to maintain global popularity, as long as it can maintain the popularity of Disneyland for a long time, then all kinds of peripherals, you can earn take-off, logically speaking, it's a bit similar to the highway in the mainland, it doesn't matter if you make money or lose money, it is the most meaningful to be able to drive the nearby economy.

"Many countries in Europe are interested in our project, and if it is confirmed, we also need to prepare to visit Europe." Eisner said.

"In fact, it's just a few big cities, in addition, we will only build on the European continent, don't think about London, but don't veto it directly, hang it first, and give priority to Germany and France." Chen Zhiwen said again.

The two major economic trains in Europe are Germany and France, no matter what problems can be complained about within these two, but Disneyland must also choose these two, no matter where it is built, its own consumer population, or the number of people in nearby cities, is very important, because locals will go to play more frequently, even Hong Kong is the same, locals will always be the mainstream of consumption, this logic, and a huge area of the country is different.

"Okay, there are still a few big cities in France and Germany, and I'll go and see for myself." Eisner nodded. (End of chapter)
