Chapter 608: Cutting off
“Create a new Bandai!”
“Redefine figure toys!”
Makoto Yamashina put down the phone and turned to Bandai manager Ikezawa Miao and others shouted, giving a group of Bandai executives a shot of chicken blood.
“When the project goes online, I will apply to the board of directors for bonuses and dividends!”
After injecting chicken blood, Shan Kecheng also painted a cake for his subordinates. Who would be willing to work for him if there is no benefit?
People like Bandai do not doubt Yamako Makoto's words, although the outside world is criticizing Yamako Makoto for his poor ability and ruining his father's foundation.
There are many factions within Bandai who are dissatisfied with Yamako Makoto, but in fact, the entire Bandai is still under the control of Yamako Makoto.
The equity of Bandai held by the Shan Kecheng family is about 10%, plus the 26% equity held by Tanglin Hi-Tech holders. For Bandai whose equity is quite dispersed, this is actually a complete controlling interest. .
As long as Tanglin Hi-tech supports Shan Kecheng, basically the other shareholders of Bandai's board of directors cannot drive away Shan Kecheng. This is why Shan Kecheng clings to Donglin Hi-tech's thighs.
And Shan Kecheng said that as long as Tanglin Hi-Tech supports him, the bonus will be paid out, and he will not treat the losers who follow Shan Kecheng badly.
......
In the courtyard behind Dongling High-tech Headquarters, the cold wind was whistling outside, but the heating inside was quite strong. Li Dongling felt a little hot even wearing single clothes.
After hanging up the phone, Li Dongling looked at the phone next to him. Ever since Tanglin Hi-tech acquired the controlling stake of Bandai, Li Dongling has been very clear about Bandai’s positioning, which is to make Bandai become Tanglin Hi-tech. Money printing machines and blood packs overseas.
With the IP of Pokémon, as long as it is promoted, future animations, comics, movies, games, figurine toys, co-branded licenses, amusement parks, etc. can all be developed. In the past life, it was Earned nearly 100 billion US dollars!
Li Dongling has no doubt about Bandai's ability to cut leeks. In his previous life, Bandai was able to create a wall of figurines and a house in Tokyo, so there is no need to worry about Bandai's ability to operate. It will never be worse than Nintendo.
Pop Mart Blind Box is more in line with Japanese people’s gambling personality. Gambling games like pinball machines in Japan far exceed the annual revenue of Las Vegas. It shows how good the Japanese people are at gambling.
Even the national fortunes dare to bet, what else do Japanese people dare not bet on, the Bubble Mart blind box model, and then a set of high-priced limited edition blind box recycling models will definitely make Japan Ben's gang of gamblers raised their eyebrows.
With the Pop Mart blind box, Pokémon, and a lot of top IP figures originally owned by Bandai, with Bandai’s ability to attract money, it can bring a steady stream of money to Dongling High-Tech. income.
However, the project promoted by Bandai this time is on the Nihon side, and it also requires professional management. Li Dongling is not in the habit of playing a micro-management master, so he can only wait for the news from Bandai.
After suppressing the matter of Wandai, Li Dongling checked the news on his computer and logged on to the Yahoo Port City website.
The Zhixing Foundation, which licenses Yahoo's brands across Asia, finally began to gradually license its Yahoo brands to companies across Asia after Yahoo's listing on Nasdaq.
The Yahoo Nippon brand has been licensed to SoftBank, which is now actively promoting it. In addition, the Zhixing Foundation has also licensed the Yahoo Port City brand to Cyberport Corporation, which will operate Yahoo Port City. company.
In the future, Yahoo! Hong Kong City Company will cover Chinese Internet users in Hong Kong City, Singapore, Malaysia, Siam and other Southeast Asia.
In addition, the mainland Yahoo brand has also been handed over to Tianya Company, but it is still in preparation and has not been launched yet.
The Yahoo Hong Kong City website is still very crude. Currently, it mainly carries news from Hong Kong City’s major newspapers to the website. Most portal websites basically used this method in the early stage.
In the future, Yahoo! Port City and others will be able to go public and cash out. This is equivalent to catching Yahoo, an Internet tiger, and ripping off its hair...
The Internet speed is not very fast now. Li Dongling looked at the Yahoo Port City website on his computer. There was not much news content on it, but Li Dongling read it several times.
“What are you looking at?”
The study door was opened, and a figure walked in with the cold wind. Yao Luoying, who was wearing a sweater and her figure was completely outlined, put down a plate of fruit. , couldn't help but sigh at his hands.
Seeing Li Dongling staring at the computer screen, Yao Luoying hugged Li Dongling's neck from behind and asked Li Dongling.
"Cut off the beard!"
Li Dongling smelled Yao Luoying's scent in his nose, scraped the bridge of Yao Luoying's straight nose, and said with a smile.
Hearing what Li Dongling said, Yao Luoying looked at the computer and saw the title of the webpage, "Another company of the Yangtze Li Family in Hong Kong City is about to be listed!" "This month, invested by the Yangtze River Li Family, British Orange Telecom, run by Huo Jianning, the right-hand man of Yangtze River Boss Li, is about to be listed on the London Stock Exchange at a price of 205 pence per share
After the listing is completed, the market value of Orange Telecom will reach HK$18.72 billion, or approximately US$2.4 billion, and the Changjiang Li family, which holds 48% of the shares of Orange Telecom, will be worth a whopping HK$9 billion!
At present, Orange Telecom has one million mobile phone users and is the global technology leader in 2G communications. In the future, Orange Telecom is expected to become the third largest telecommunications provider in the UK! "
The news was not long. Yao Luoying quickly scanned the news. Thinking of Li Dongling's words just now, she couldn't help but look at Li Dongling in surprise, "You want to cut off Hu Chengzi Telecom? ”
“No way! "
As Yao Luoying exclaimed, Li Dongling took her into his arms, "The Yangtze Li family holds 48% of the equity of Orange Telecom and wants to seize Orange Telecom from the Yangtze Li family. I'm afraid it's not possible! ”
No matter how you evaluate Boss Li of Yangtze River, his investment vision and ability are indeed at the peak of his life now.
There are not many people who can discover 2G communication technology early and make arrangements in advance. Just using luck to describe it certainly cannot explain the investment made by Yangtze River Boss Li according to the pulse of the times.
Not only in 2G, but also in the 3G era, Boss Li of Yangtze River invested early. However, being in a Hong Kong city and being too involved with the British side, in the end, Boss Li misjudged 4G communications.
Boss Li of Yangtze River spent 20 to 30 billion US dollars to obtain 3G licenses from Hong Kong, England, Finland, Italy, and Sweden, and then spent money to lay base stations, hoping to make a fortune.
But who knew that the 3G era would be like a flash in the pan. Before Yangtze River Boss Li could make back his money, the 4G era would arrive, and it would be led by America and China, completely leaving behind old Europe.
By the time Yangtze River Boss Li returned to invest in 4G communications, it was already too late!
It is impossible to snatch Orange Telecom from the Yangtze River Li family. They hold 48% of the shares and it is impossible to snatch Orange Telecom.
You can’t grab Orange Telecom, but you still have a chance to take advantage of it!
“The second largest shareholder of Orange Telecom is British Airways, holding 22% of the shares.”
“If you can’t get Orange Telecom from the Yangtze River Li family, take away Orange Telecom from British Airways. Equity, but there is a chance!" Li Dongling pointed at the computer screen and said to Yao Luoying.
Looking at Li Dongling's face, Yao Luoying rarely saw Li Dongling showing such an excited look. She tilted her head, glanced at the computer screen, and then looked at Li Dongling, "Will Orange Telecom be very valuable in the future?"
< br>“Not necessarily!”
Li Dongling didn’t finish his sentence. He didn’t say that the Yangtze River Li family made more than 20 billion U.S. dollars by relying on Orange Telecom and subsequent trading. He just said, “This It’s an opportunity!”
“When the 2G communication era comes, Orange Telecom may be very valuable!”
“But... there is indeed a chance to follow it”
Li Dongling looked at the news on the computer screen with a smile on his face, just like in an antique market. He scanned the goods with a big eye and took away a few valuable things, but he did not expect that there would be others missing behind!
Li Dongling thought for a moment and called Ren Yuefeng, Hu Huxian and others, preparing to discuss the matter of intercepting the Hu Changjiang Li family tomorrow. There is no need to rush this matter. The acquisition will be completed next year after Orange Telecom is listed. That's enough.
After listing, Orange Telecom has a market value of US$2.4 billion, which is not cheap, but compared to the US$33 billion spent by German Mannesmann to acquire Orange Telecom, it is much cheaper.
If we can take away 22% of Orange Telecom's equity from British Airways, and then acquire part of it from the market, the majority of it may be taken by the Yangtze River Li family, but Li Dongling will hold more than 25% Orange Telecom can earn US$89 billion in revenue no matter what.
Exchanging 500 million US dollars for 89 billion US dollars, a return rate of more than ten times, this Hu still needs to be intercepted!
When Germany's Mannesmann acquired Orange Telecom, it used equity swaps to take away part of Mannesmann's equity. Then, when Mannesmann Telecom was swallowed up by Vodafone at a sky-high price of US$185 billion, Mannesmann's equity was again Being able to cash out a wave of US dollars is equivalent to being able to cut off money twice!
......
On Li Dongling's side, he invited Ren Yuefeng, Hu Huxian and others to discuss how to cut off the beard. The Pokémon animation produced by Nippon Bandai was also officially released. TV Tokyo starts showing.
Thanks to Bandai’s publicity and the fact that Bandai invested money in carefully polishing Pokémon, the plot and picture quality are quite online. As soon as it was launched, the ratings reached 10%!
Among the current Japanese animations, the viewership ranking has directly entered the top ten. Later, Bandai began to launch the comics at the same time, constantly building momentum for Pokémon.
By the next day, Pokémon's ratings on TV Tokyo began to exceed 15%. Pokémon began to gradually gain popularity in Japan. The media and the audience began to discuss Pokémon. sound.
If we only stop here, the outside world may think that Bandai got lucky and just launched a new IP.
But one week after Pokémon went online and the ratings skyrocketed, Bandai announced that it would hold the first International Fashion Show in Tokyo, inviting more than 100 artists from around the world to participate, and issued a message to more than 20,000 Bandai fans and figurine players. Got the invitation.
