Chapter 1140 Choice
Summer has officially entered the capital in July. The weather is hot and often accompanied by rain.
Just like tonight, lightning and thunder shattered the tranquility of the summer night.
There was a thunderstorm outside, and the battle was also fierce in the room.
A body as strong as an ox is entangled with three delicate snow-white bodies. The heavy breathing is mixed with the charming and delicate breathing, making people spurt blood.
I don't know how long it took before the room returned to calm.
Xu Liang looked at Fan Xiaopang, Tong Yaya and Tang Yan lying on the bed, covered in pink, and let out a sigh of relief.
I haven’t had so much fun in a long time.
I got off the bed, took a shower, looked at the time, and went to bed with the three beauties in my arms.
Early the next morning, after completing the scheduled exercise, I sat down at the dining table.
Tong Yaya and Fan Xiaopang also packed up and sat over.
"Where is Tang Yan?"
"She's still lying on the bed. You didn't know how to keep it quiet last night." Fan Xiaopang said.
Xu Liang smiled. Fan Xiaopang and Tong Yaya both gave birth to their second child less than a year ago. Xu Liang considered their health and poured all his firepower on Tang Yan.
Of course, her long, straight and round legs are also one of the reasons why Boss Xu can't put them down.
"How is Jiahua's "Black Cat Sheriff" (Zootopia) doing?" Xu Liang asked.
With the previous success of "Kung Fu Panda", the animation department is like Fan Xiaopang's son and pays attention to it every day.
“It will almost be released in November.”
“Public announcements must keep up. In addition to mainstream media and online media, we must also pay attention to new media, especially Youku (YouTube). Young people are our mainstream customers.”
“Don’t worry, we have already edited three short films and put them on Youku, and the distribution of them has been basically reached by Universal, Vivendi and Bandai. The agreement is also signed.
In November, it will be released simultaneously in the United States, China, Japan and France. Fan Xiaopang said excitedly.
As Xu Liang continues to exert efforts in the global pan-entertainment field.
Xu’s pan-entertainment empire has covered major areas such as China, the United States, Europe, Japan and South Korea. Economy.
High-quality movies owned by K. Wah, Universal, Vivendi, and Bandai can earn more profits than in the past through this global distribution network.
"Every Every country has its own different culture. It is too difficult for live-action movies to cross this barrier and be liked by other countries, especially Americans.
But animated movies are different.
The core of it is very simple. Whether it is pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger, or fighting back with a Jedi, the principle is universal.
At this stage, a good animated film can help us harvest box office from around the world, and it is also the focus of Jiahua’s future development. "
Fan Xiaopang nodded.
In addition to what Xu Liang said, animated movies have another advantage: the crossover of characters.
Regardless of whether it is domestic or foreign, movies with characters from one's own country are definitely more popular.
Animated movies can cross this point very well.
"Since "Kung Fu Panda", Jiahua has always attached great importance to animated movies." After looking at his man's expression, Fan Xiaopang continued, ""Black Cat Sheriff" will be available for another four months. It’s just been released. Do you want to make a second one?”
“Do you have any ideas?” Xu Liangxiao asked.
Although "Zootopia 2" had not been released before his rebirth, it is certain that the hit movie will be a sequel.
"Isn't this what I want to ask you? After all, you gave me the plan for "Black Cat Sheriff"."
Xu Liang shook his head, "Let the Jiahua Screenwriting Department think of the sequel. I don't have it here. "
"Really?"
"Why am I so cheap?"
Without Boss Xu's blessing, Fan Xiaopang felt a little unsure.
"Don't worry too much. With the first part, it's not difficult for the editorial department to come up with a wonderful story for the sequel.
Also, ask Jiahua's director not to change the script randomly, even if he wants to , even without the consent of the screenwriter.”
Whether it is China or the world, there are only a handful of excellent scripts and directors.
Most of them have good directors but terrible scripts.
I still think that I am very good, but when the box office is a mess, I call the audience stupid.
I’m talking about you, Chen Mantou.
After Fan Xiaopang agreed, "The third project department of the company's animation department has been established, and we want to make another animation."
"Want to try to trick me again?"< br>
“Hee hee, who makes me such a good man.”
Xu Liang thought about it briefly, “I’ll think about it and tell you in a few days.”
"My dear, you are amazing."
Fan Xiaopang directly blew a few kisses.
Her character is so carefree.
In contrast, Tong Yaya from Xinjiang Province is soft on the outside and rigid on the inside.
“Yaya, how many households are there in your Hutaoli now?”
Tong Yaya smiled and said: "There are already 77, covering basically all first- and second-tier cities in the country, and we are now preparing to develop into third-tier cities."
"Where is the Inahaya Cuisine Museum?"
"We have opened 13 branches."
After a pause, Tong Yaya's face showed hesitation.
"If you have anything to say, just say it. There are no secrets between us." Xu Liang said with a smile.
"I want to acquire 'Little Sheep'."
Xu Liang was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at the woman in front of him.
The white cotton T-shirt is very wide, and the black semi-long hair is tied into a short ponytail behind his head.
Although he is wearing casual clothes at home, there is a sense of sophistication in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.
After not seeing each other for a while, her ambition has become stronger.
She also has the temperament of a strong woman.
“Why do you want to acquire ‘Little Sheep’?” Xu Liang asked.
“Hutaoli and Dazao are mid-to-high-end products, but the market capacity is limited. I want to expand the affordable catering market, especially hot pot.
The reason why I chose Little Sheep is mainly because it is the number one hot pot in China shares.
Has great popularity and industry influence.
In addition, although it has overcome the decline in 2005, compared with its peers, its development is not fast.
Finally, Little Sheep’s shareholding is relatively dispersed. The founder Zhang Gang who holds the largest shareholding only has 22.4%, and the second-ranked 3i Group only has 15%.
As long as the price we give is suitable, the acquisition is not difficult. "
Xu Liang: "Since you have investigated, you should know that Hanhua is also a shareholder of Little Sheep, right? "
"Hanhua became a shareholder in 2005, accounting for 10% of Little Sheep's equity. "Tong Yaya said.
"It's good that you know. Although Little Sheep looks prosperous and develops very fast, there are old executives from Inner Mongolia headed by Lu Wenbin.
As well as international executives represented by Wang Daizong and Yang Yaoqiang. Huaxin executives
Both parties are in business philosophy and management model. There are huge differences in the formula.
For example, Yang Yaoqiang proposed improving the brand image of Little Sheep and increasing the franchise fee.
From the perspective of company development, this is the way for the company to become bigger and stronger. It is the only way to go, but the old senior management team is firmly opposed to it.
The old senior management team said that if you do this, the relationship between the headquarters and franchisees will become worse and worse, which is not conducive to the development of the company.
Another example is Yang Yaoqiang, who wants to promote in Little Sheep because of his management experience at KFC.
To promote a project of restaurant information optimization management.
This optimizes the supply chain management system including procurement and marketing.
However, in order to speed up expansion, Little Sheep previously set up several levels of agency authorization. Different regions have different authorization systems, which is difficult to coordinate.
If the group wants to take back its purchasing and marketing rights and implement unified management, it will definitely harm the interests of some franchisees.
Zhang Gang was caught in the middle. He didn't want to hurt the friendship between the old brothers, but he couldn't really fire these outside professional managers in order to go public. "
Although Xu Liang doesn't care about Hanhua's venture capital projects, he will still read the information.
He also knows the situation of Little Sheep.
"If you take over Little Sheep, How do you plan to solve these problems? ”
Tong Yaya said directly: "Acquire all franchise stores, adopt a direct operation strategy, optimize the supply chain system, and improve service quality."
"It seems that you have already considered it." "If you are not prepared, I Why would I propose a purchase to you?" Tong Yaya said with a smile.
“What about personnel?”
“Develop a strict management and supervision system, with the capable ones promoted and the mediocre ones demoted.”
Xu Liang smiled and said, "Is there any more?"
Facing his deep eyes, Tong Yaya thought for a moment and then an idea flashed in her mind.
“Service is king, quality is supreme.”
Xu Liang smiled, “Do you have enough money in your hand?”
Tong Yaya knew that she had passed the test, Her pretty face was full of excitement.
"The US$1 billion CDS bonds you distributed to the company have already made a profit of US$320 million. If all is received later, there will be at least US$500 million left after tax, which is more than enough to acquire Little Sheep."
Little Sheep is now The valuation is only 2 billion Chinese coins.
Xu Liang nodded slightly.
Some time ago, in order to diversify risks, he invested two-thirds of Hongyan's CDS bond investment of more than 100 billion US dollars to its major companies.
Hynix, Unocal, Vivendi, and Taihua received the most, each receiving tens of billions of dollars in quotas.
Similar to Fan Xiaopang's Jiahua, Tong Yaya's Hutaoli, Lu Hui's Future Home, Zhang Junning's Guowu Sports Group, etc., these companies founded by Teng's concubines all share 1 billion to 1 billion according to their respective turnovers. ranging from US$3 billion.
Even for Tang Yan, Xu Liang did not favor one over the other.
An investment company was established in her name, with a quota of US$500 million.
After all, she is the woman who gave birth to a child for herself. As long as she follows him honestly, Xu Liang will keep her rich and prosperous throughout her life.
"Yaya, your business is getting bigger and bigger now. When Little Sheep acquires it, Hutaoli and Dazao can form a catering group." Fan Xiaopang said with a smile.
There is no competition between the two, their status is equal, and they usually have an extremely close relationship.
"I think so too. Once I win Little Sheep, I will officially register the 'Hutaoli Restaurant Group'."
"Why Hutaoli and not Little Sheep? Isn't the brand of Little Sheep better? Famous?" Fan Xiaopang asked.
Tong Yaya glanced at Xu Liang with a smile and said, "Hutaoli is a brand created by me, and I am more emotional."
The two chatted for a while, and after breakfast, I left after checking on the children.
When they were leaving, Tang Yan also went downstairs.
A large pink T-shirt reveals thin shoulders and slender straight legs.
After saying hello to Tong Yaya and Fan Xiaopang, he sat directly in Xu Liang’s arms and kissed him on the face.
"Good morning, my dear."
Naturally, he put his hands on the long legs and touched them.
"It's still early, it's almost eight o'clock, let's eat quickly."
Tang Yan nodded and sat down next to him.
The servant next to me quickly brought breakfast.
Millet porridge, fried eggs, fried dough sticks, steamed buns, as well as shrimp dumplings, rice rolls, egg tarts, etc. which are more common in the south, are very rich.
"By the way, dear. Didn't you ask me to think about how to spend money some time ago? I have a plan."
Since the U.S. subprime mortgage crisis began in April, when the CDS investments he distributed to his companies and women began to make money one after another, he asked them to submit an investment plan within three months.
"Really? Let me hear it."
Tang Yan nodded excitedly.
“Real estate.
I don’t have the business talent of Sister Bingbing and Sister Yaya, and I’m not good at doing business either.
Therefore, the most suitable industry for me to invest in is real estate.
I have already thought about it. When the investment money comes in, I will buy two office buildings in the core areas of Beijing and Shanghai. I can not only get rental income, but also get the benefits of real estate appreciation.
Kill two birds with one stone.
Besides, there is nothing complicated about real estate rental. If I learn it, I will definitely be able to manage it well. "
"Dear, what do you think of my plan? ”
Looking at her expectant eyes, Xu Liang smiled.
“The plan is good.”
Although it will be difficult for real estate to have any big development in the future after it enters the red ocean from the blue ocean, high-quality office buildings in prime locations in first-tier cities are the most valuable.
After the subprime mortgage crisis hits China’s real estate industry, there will also be opportunities for acquisition of this gold asset.
“You agree?”
Xu Liang nodded, "Since you want to invest in real estate, you should do more research now and choose a target. When the money comes in the future, you can do it."
"Yes."
"Since you want to invest in real estate, have you ever considered renting an apartment for a long time? "
"Of course I have considered it, but renting an apartment for a long time is too troublesome. In order to manage thousands of residents, I will definitely have to hire a lot of people. I have a headache just thinking about it.
Also. , the more tenants there are, the more shortcomings the parents have.
I am in the entertainment industry, and once someone maliciously exposes me, it will seriously affect my personality and credibility.
So it is better to use an office building. There are not many customers. If it is good, there may only be two or three, and the lease period is long.
With your background, they won’t embarrass me.
So an office building is more suitable for me than a long-term rental apartment. "
Xu Liang said in surprise: "It's rare for you to think so clearly. ”
"Hee hee, I specifically asked Sister Xiaoyang for consultation."
Xu Liang suddenly understood.
No wonder.
"Just do what you think."
"Yeah."
After breakfast, Xu Liang came to the office.
Opened the computer and looked at his mailbox.
All companies under my control will send them to my email address as long as it is not particularly urgent or important.
I will call Li Jinling for important matters.
For particularly urgent matters, you will call him directly.
Xu Liang browsed for a while, looked at the time, then took out his cell phone and called Rick Gordon.
"BOSS."
"Didn't get the No. 1 pick?"
"The Trail Blazers are optimistic about 'Greg Oden' and rejected our request."
Xu Liang was not surprised at all.
The draft report spoke highly of Oden, saying that he is a "genius insider that is rare to see in twenty years." He has running and jumping abilities that do not match his height and is very flexible.
He has very strong finishing ability in the paint, diverse scoring methods, does not make mistakes easily on the defensive end, has excellent rebounding ability, his passing ability is also underestimated, and he has a wide field of vision.
The Trail Blazers believe that he can become another 'Duncan' to support the team's inside line.
It’s a pity that the fragile knees turned ‘Auden the Great’ into a glass man.
“Where are the SuperSonics?”
"They agreed."
Xu Liangang breathed a sigh of relief.
The entire NBA knows that having a lottery pick does not mean you will have a star of tomorrow. It is also difficult to pick out the real gold with your own fiery eyes.
Although Durant is amazingly powerful, he averaged 25.8 points and 11.1 rebounds per game in the 2006-2007 season.
Scored 30+ points 20 times, and became the NCAA's third-highest rookie rebounding record with 390 rebounds.
He was also elected as the Associated Press' College Player of the Year and won the Naismith Award, the Wooden Award and the Adolph Rupp Cup.
This made him the first freshman to win the national player of the year award.
But 18 is too young.
Especially with his bamboo pole-like figure, whether he can adapt to the fierce competition in the NBA is a question.
Compared to Arenas, who was in his prime and also won the playoff MVP, the latter is obviously safer.
