However, it is not so easy to "negotiate" on the purchase price. Who makes you the "richest man in the world"? If you don't buy it, you will get nothing.
Even Uncle Six, an old man who has done a lot of charity in his life, thinks the same way.
No matter what, this is a business, not charity. In business, we must pursue profit maximization.
"Uncle Liu is old, the directors are also relatively old, and Mr. Shao has no intention of taking over." This is a major reason why TVB will be sold.
For the current more than 3,000 full-time employees of TVB, as well as 700 contracted artists, it would be a good thing if Boss Li could take over TVB, because Boss Li is very "kind" to his employees. Last year, six
My uncle personally revealed that TVB shares tend to be sold to the mainland and are not considered to be sold to Chinese Baodao or foreign consortiums.
Today, TVB’s shares are suspended!
Xiangjiang residents, stock investors and TVB employees all know that "Lanyin wants to acquire TVB" is already true.
But what does Boss Li want to do when he acquires TVB?
So when a newspaper in Xiangjiang did a special report on the old gangster, they analyzed:
As the world's largest Chinese-language commercial television station and provider of Chinese-language TV programs, TVB's performance in recent years has been remarkable. Last year, TVB's 2001 annual report showed that although in the past five years, its revenue and profits have continued to grow.
However, the turnover in 2001 was less than 3 billion Hong Kong dollars, and the profit was less than 300 million Hong Kong dollars. Moreover, due to the impact of Hong Kong pay TV and the Internet, the impact on TVB has become increasingly obvious.
If Boss Li acquires TVB, will he go to the mainland for development? Obviously, it is not feasible for the time being, because it will be restricted by mainland laws and regulations, and there is also the issue of Cantonese, but this is not a big problem. The big problem is how Boss Li gets TVB to acquire it.
To the "approval" to enter mainland China, TVB has been trying to market in the mainland for so many years, but has not succeeded.
....
The vast majority of people in Xiangjiang welcome the old gangster's acquisition of TVB. However, the TV market in Xiangjiang has always been dominated by TVB and ATV. However, ATV has suffered serious losses in recent years. TVB has been the dominant player for many years. Therefore, TVB has become a dominant player in Xiangjiang.
The status of TVB is very high. Suddenly such an "outsider" wants to acquire it. Although many Xiangjiang people welcome him to acquire TVB out of "worship" for the old gangster, they also feel "strange" in their hearts:
Has Xiangjiang begun to decline?
As the new richest man in the world, the old hooligan is quite proud of the residents of Xiangjiang who have been away from the mainland for more than a hundred years. The old hooligan has given them a sense of national identity.
For Uncle Liu, although he is willing to sell his life's hard work at an "appropriate" price, he is still very concerned about how the old gangster will run TVB.
At present, TVB's revenue mainly consists of local free TV station advertising, program distribution and distribution, and overseas satellite TV and channel business income. Among them, advertising accounts for half, and the economic sensitivity of advertising is very high. When the general economic environment is not good,
, advertising revenue will inevitably be deeply affected.
Uncle Liu is 94 years old. Shaw Brothers holds about 26% of the shares of TVB, while Uncle Liu holds nearly 75% of the shares of Shaw Brothers. In addition, Uncle Liu also holds another 6.23% of TVB through the Shaw Fund.
Shares. After Ouyang Ting’s Qiangwei Creation secretly purchased individual shares of TVB, TVB’s stock price did not fall below 45 Hong Kong dollars.
The market is always forewarned. Before TVB's stock was suspended, some force got "inside information." As a result, TVB's stock price, which had been between 45 and 50 Hong Kong dollars for a long time, suddenly started to move, as if it had been injected with blood.
Wang Zixuan, who was in charge of the acquisition, was very angry but had no choice.
Because this "unusual movement", in Wang Zixuan's opinion, is obviously the result of TVB's own "power".
TVB's "own people" pulled the stock price from 46 Hong Kong dollars to 75 Hong Kong dollars, an increase of 63%. Such a drastic rise occurred in only 3 minutes, costing TVB less than 1 billion Hong Kong dollars, and the entire market value went from
HK$20 billion has soared to more than HK$32 billion.
With such a surge, of course the exchange immediately suspended trading, and then TVB announced the news: it had negotiated acquisition matters with Lanyin Investment.
One day in early April, the old gangster came to Lanyin Investment again;
In the CEO's office, Wang Zixuan was taking the documents from her new assistant.
The new assistant, female, around 80, 24 years old, named Huang Yinghong, graduated from the Department of Finance at Yale University, has worked at Lanyin Investment for two years, is considered a "veteran", and is trustworthy.
Seeing the old gangster push open the door and enter, Pippi in the house immediately got up from the ground, wagging his tail at the old gangster and shouting happily.
The new assistant didn't have much "charm". She was a workaholic woman. She respectfully called "boss" to the old gangster, then left with her head slightly lowered.
Seeing that the door was closed, the old gangster said to Wang Zixuan: "Your new assistant is okay, but she looks a bit sultry and serious on the surface, but anyone who teases her will probably be crazier than you."
Wang Zixuan was so angry at these words that he rolled his beautiful eyes and said angrily: "What are you doing here? You don't need to intervene in such a small matter as TVB's acquisition. Huh, isn't it just a market value of 30 billion Hong Kong dollars? Run Run Shaw can only control it.
Less than 10 billion, 10 billion, equivalent to less than 1.4 billion U.S. dollars."
The old gangster laughed dumbly: "You are a prodigal girl, is it so easy to make money? However, the acquisition of TVB is not to make money in the future. What we earn is popularity and influence. This time, we were obviously sniped by them.
It turned out that a lot of money was wasted.”
"Now some people are saying that you are being taken advantage of. If you don't take advantage of it, you will not take advantage of it. There are 200 middle-level managers of Lanyin Electronics, each holding 170,000 shares. The stock market value reaches 80 million yuan, and the price paid is only 1.7 million yuan. Now some people in the United States are gossiping
Okay, that's unfair." Wang Zixuan said.
"Ha, it's not fair, it's not fair, they shouldn't buy it! In my ideal world, Lanyin Electronics' annual profit will reach 30 billion US dollars, which is more than the combined annual profits of the two Microsofts. Calculated based on the bank's long-term deposit interest rate of 5%
, can support at least a market value of 600 billion U.S. dollars, one-fifth of which is 120 billion U.S. dollars, corresponding to the current stock price of 60 U.S. dollars." The old gangster said: "Mr. Stock God, he is quite discerning."
Wang Zixuan said: "I won't listen to your bragging! Anyway, you have authorized me to acquire TVB. I want to win this battle."
The old gangster shook his head and smiled: "Okay, you are right, it's just a matter of 1.5 billion US dollars. Today, there is another matter. Mr. Case and the others should be recalled. Several major shareholders of Lanyin Investment's US headquarters have agreed to my proposal.
It is recommended that each of them use part of the funds to form a fund of 6 billion US dollars to buy Chinese concept stocks and Apple stocks on Nasdaq. It is also time to expand the number of employees there."
Wang Zixuan nodded and said: "Well, Apple, according to our recent analysis, is quite promising. It launched the second generation iPod player at the beginning of the year, which has a certain boost to the stock price."
The old gangster said: "Its current market value is only 16 billion US dollars. We can spend one to two years buying its 3 billion US dollars of stock and holding it for a long time. This year, except for the stock price of Lanyin Electronics, which is not bad, the Nasdaq market
Other stocks will continue to fall, so take advantage of this year’s lows to collect chips.”
"Well, I am optimistic about the American e-commerce company Amazon recently. Although its stock price has dropped from 110 US dollars in 1999 to less than 20 US dollars now, I believe it will rise. For Lanyin Investment, investment is needed now
A company with long-term growth potential. Speculation is too risky after all!" Wang Zixuan said when she saw him squatting down and stroking Pippi.
"Amazon? Well, this company is okay, but if you want to buy it, you have to hold the shares for seven or eight years. You are right. For large funds, if you stay for more than five years, you can get five or six times the income.
It is very difficult. Speculation? Haha, there are opportunities for speculation! Moreover, the profits from speculation are also great, but you should not speculate, let my husband do the speculation!" The old gangster laughed, remembering
The scene during the 2007 financial crisis.
I am reminded of the tragic situation of American auto stocks and bank stocks, but they rebounded in the end, and the rebound was not small. These can be speculated on.
But it was still early in 2007, so the old gangster then said: "Set a principle and you are not allowed to buy U.S. Treasury bonds, the debts of Fannie and Freddie, and the debts of some other American companies. These returns are too low, and I don't like it, my husband."
!”
Wang Zixuan smiled: "You are too greedy! However, at the beginning of this year, the euro was officially used in the Eurozone. The Americans are at war, and the euro exchange rate will inevitably increase greatly. We can also invest in the euro exchange rate."
The old gangster raised his head and said: "You still want to reap the profits from the euro exchange rate in 2000? It was quite chaotic at that time. After more than a year, all aspects of supervision have become more standardized. If you want to speculate again, it is probably not as easy as before. Well, but,
It can be used as a profit point for the company. Let Mr. Case take charge. We need Lan Yin Investment's American company to grow on Wall Street. That way, it will help Lan Yin's industrial company's products enter the United States in the future. Haha, America,
It’s just a country controlled by Wall Street.”
"Humph, the headquarters of Lanyin Investment in Xijing will be moved to Shanghai at the end of the year. What about you? Hurry up and find us a place in Shanghai." Wang Zixuan lowered her head, looked at the information, and said.
"No problem, there are more good villas there and there are more choices. We will have a special plane then, and we can stay there for three days. Haha, let's play the game of saying goodbye is better than newlyweds!" the old gangster laughed.
"Huh, when we go there, I want to buy a big yacht so I can go out on a sea cruise if I have nothing to do!" Wang Zixuan thought: "You have so much money, you should spend it on us!"
The old gangster stood up, walked to her seat, came behind her, held her breasts directly, and said with a smile: "Good things come in pairs, will there be two yachts?"
