"Mainland? That's okay. Shenhai City is also very close to Hong Kong. It's not a problem to go back and forth every day. It's very convenient." Liang Shuyi said.

"There is no problem in investing in Shenhai City, but I guess it will be invested not by TVB, but by Hutchison Whampoa." Chen Zhiwen thought for a while and said: "The land in Hong Kong is expensive and the area of ​​the film and television city built is small. It doesn't matter if you shoot the interior.

But it is difficult to make the exterior scenes grand, so since we are planning to invest in the mainland, we will build a large-scale palace, some kind of palace, and the city walls should be built more majestic. It is best to imitate the Forbidden City, so that the visual impact will be better. Our goal can be

Not just for the city of Hong Kong, but also for the Chinese people in most of the world, the sense of reality must be strong!"

At this moment, Chen Zhiwen recalled the ancient Hong Kong dramas he watched in his previous life. Those involving the palace were basically shot repeatedly in those locations. Those involving war and siege, the city walls were also very small. Even the siege scenes were not possible due to cost constraints.

There were only a few hundred people, and there was no shocking sight like tens of thousands of people attacking the city.

Although this has a certain relationship with Run Run Shaw's "picking" in history, the hardware facilities are indeed insufficient. If a large-scale film and television city is built in the mainland, not only will the hardware be available, but even when a large number of people are really needed, they can also be nearby

The scene of attracting people and attacking a city with tens of thousands of people can be easily reproduced, and the labor costs in the mainland are relatively much lower. Sometimes even giving braised pork for lunch can attract people for free.

This can also reduce costs for TVB. Before the explosion of computer technology, such war films and TV shows could only rely on real people, and this time may take another twenty or thirty years.

"This is the best. We at TVB can film the program with peace of mind." Liang Shuyi said.

"However, He Huang is not as professional as you. I will inform Zhou Jiayang later. You may need to communicate with Shenhai City first to see how much the cost will be!" Chen Zhiwen thought for a while and said:

"Although this is Hutchison Whampoa Investment, it will be managed by you in the future and counted as TVB's assets."

Hutchison Whampoa and TVB have been completely privatized over the past few years. They are both their own companies, and it is easier to mobilize funds or transfer assets. Hutchison Whampoa will be a company that invests heavily in assets in the future, but the operation of the studio

, professionals are still needed to be responsible. Moreover, these two companies may be listed in the future. It will be more convenient to clearly distinguish the assets now.

"Thank you Chen Sheng!" Liang Shuyi was overjoyed. Although it is the company's asset, if it is managed by her, many things will be much more convenient, and with more funds, her subsequent work will also be smoother. Which professional manager,

Who doesn’t like that their company is well-funded? You can invest whatever you want!

"That's it. When there is progress on these matters later, you can come and report to me. From today on, you can directly contact my secretary-general's office. If you need to see me, just make an appointment in advance." Chen Zhiwen said.

However, it is also possible that they are members of the Li family and are not sure of doing anything other than real estate and infrastructure. After all, a normal company has its own areas of expertise. If you skip this area, it will be difficult to succeed even if you have strong capital. Even Chen Zhiwen,

That is to say, relying on the golden finger of memory, it has entered the four fields of real estate, retail, electronic technology and functional drinks. For other investments, it is either to follow the industry giants to have some soup first, such as Anta OEM for Nike, Galaxy Trading has acquired a large number of retail giants

orders, or invest in related companies and make profits from them.

In the past, TVB was only positioned as a TV station in Hong Kong and had a limited role in Chen Zhiwen's global business. But now that it has sufficient funds and resources, it needs to build its own media platform. TVB is the first step, and its importance has naturally increased.

.

…

"Okay, I will report to you again when there is further news!" Liang Shuyi said happily. This time the boss summoned her, which basically showed that in the future, TVB will definitely show off its great development, which is very important to her.

It's also an opportunity to show off your abilities.

When the news came out, the media and public opinion in the entire United States exploded in an instant.

But there is another way, which is to directly acquire a company that has a promising future but is in difficulties at a certain period of time. For example, Hutchison Whampoa used to acquire it at a low price and took advantage of the bull market in the Hong Kong real estate market and other opportunities to become a company.

It is a giant company that is not smaller than Land, but because it has not been listed, outsiders are not sure.

Although some people make a lot of money by relying on hostile acquisitions, such as Liu, who will rise in a few years, most wealthy people still rely on their actual ability to operate step by step. Most acquisitions in the world are also

Merged in good faith.

On the same day, Morgan Stanley Investment Bank officially announced that it would initiate an acquisition from Disney on behalf of a large overseas investment fund. The stock trading price was US$17.5 per share, and the total offer price was US$1.47 billion, which is higher than Disney's market value of US$1.21 billion.

It is 21.5% higher. In terms of sincerity, it is enough. Most mergers and acquisitions of companies will raise the price appropriately. The first increase was 20%, which is considered to be above the average level.

At present, the scale of the entire group is large enough. Except for a few core industries, the leaders of other branches cannot meet him casually. They basically communicate with him through higher-level companies or the headquarters office.

The fourth one is Disney, which is about to be acquired. This company is currently in trouble for various reasons, with a market value of just over one billion US dollars. According to the original historical development, after the advent of the computer animation era, coupled with the operation of a high-quality management team

, Disney can come back to life within a few years and become the largest cultural company in the United States.

However, although he has money, he will not use it arbitrarily. When satellite TV has no shadow, it is naturally impossible for him to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to launch an independent satellite into space. This is completely inconsistent with the needs of Costco in the United States.

Similarly, because there is a lot of signal data, having its own satellite can create higher benefits and is more cost-effective economically.

On April 1, 1983, Chen Zhiwen received news from the United States that the White House and the Department of Commerce had verbally agreed to the acquisition, but it must require the approval of Disney's board of directors and shareholders' meeting. In other words, the acquisition can only be made in good faith, not maliciously.

Sniping, this is in line with Chen Zhiwen's intention. He has no interest in planning a large-scale hostile takeover in Europe and the United States.

This will also happen a few years later. There is no need to consider it now. Anxin will build the most basic business first, and wait until the satellite TV business is successful. In the original history, Li Jiacheng’s second son also founded a satellite TV station.

It was rented at first, and it was considered a very successful operation, but obviously the Li family has real estate genes. After the success of the TV station, it was sold to the media tycoon Rupert Murdoch for US$800 million, plus the Hong Kong technology companies that he cheated

City, Hong Kong as a whole had a rare opportunity to make some achievements in the global media market and Internet market, but it was all wasted by the Li family.

Although Disney has been declining more and more in the past decade, at least half of the people in the United States watched Disney cartoons when they were children. Even if they don’t like it now, who doesn’t know it? This can be said to be the most important thing for Americans.

One of the cultural representatives.

The third large-scale acquisition was RCA's television business. Relatively speaking, the investment was not very large, and it was merged into Midea after the acquisition.

The second large-scale acquisition is naturally AMC Automobile. However, the development of the automobile industry is too slow, especially the need to rely on the mainland market. It may take more than ten or twenty years to show its strong potential, but the future is suitable for

When the time comes, Chen Zhiwen will also acquire other brands in other markets to form an automobile group that can combine technology and market after-sales, but this is a matter for the future.

In this regard, Chen Zhiwen will naturally not let go of this opportunity, especially with his memory golden finger and his abundant funds, Disney will only become more powerful.

After Disney agrees, the information will be formally submitted to the Department of Commerce again, and then there will be negotiations between the US government, US labor unions, and other departments and the acquirer. There are many things involved in this. We also experienced it when we acquired AMC.

But the level is completely different. A medium-sized company like AMC is not worthy of the attention of the White House or even some big media. But Disney is completely different in dimension.

And if TVB can really expand in the field of satellite TV in the future, then it will naturally not mind installing a dedicated TV signal satellite in Asia.

Based on Hong Kong, we can make good TV content, and then transmit signals through satellites to gain access to other additional markets. Although it may be in a gray area, it is indeed the only way to expand. In addition, by concentrating resources on good content, TVB has a high probability of acquiring it.

A development that is very different from previous generations.

This kind of company, even if it is acquired by an American company, is enough to become an important hot news, but now it is acquired by an overseas fund. The United States has become the world's most powerful country since World War II, and they basically acquire other people.

It’s not true that there are no companies that do the opposite, but acquiring Disney? That’s completely different.

After some in-depth investigations by some American media, they soon discovered that the person behind this acquisition was actually Chen Zhiwen from Hong Kong.

Most media in the United States still know this name to some extent. Last year, he was ranked as the richest Chinese in the world. In the whole of Asia, he is also a real estate tycoon second only to Japan. At the same time, he also has many investments and industries in the United States. The most famous

It is Costco, one of the emerging retail giants in the United States.

But no matter what, many people can't stand it when an Asian acquires Disney. Over the years, Japanese brands have hoisted up many industries in the United States. Now it's the turn of a Chinese to acquire the most powerful cultural company in the United States?
