Chapter 122 The price of the house was lowered by Yang Chen
After ending the video conference with the bank presidents, Yang Chen sent a message to Chen Chao.
"Achao collects the company information of NBA sponsors, broadcasters, major club owners and major shareholders, and selects listed companies that can be shorted."
Soon, Chen Chao replied.
"Received, do it immediately!"
After a while, Yang Min came to Yang Chen's office.
"Hello, Director Yang. I am not disturbing you, right?" Yang Min said with a smile.
As the saying goes, you may get the wrong name, but you can never get the wrong nickname.
Yang Chen's nickname of Da Minmin for Yang Min became more and more appropriate, and it was really big enough to attract attention.
"No need to disturb. Do you have anything to do with me?" Yang Chen asked with a smile, and gestured for Yang Min to sit down and talk.
Yang Min sat in front of Yang Chen with a smile and said with a smile: "It's my birthday tomorrow. Can you please attend my birthday party tonight?"
Yang Chen nodded and replied: "Really? Happy birthday, happy birthday. Tomorrow night, right? Where?"
Yang Min smiled and replied: "Do you think it's convenient for you to rent the apartment I rent?"
Yang Chen immediately used mind-reading skills to read Yang Min's inner activities.
"It's just you and me tomorrow night. You must accept the invitation. Fatty has already captured you, and I will capture you too."
? ? ?
Hongmen Banquet.
Gentlemen should be braver, even if they know it is the Hongmen Banquet, they should be brave enough to attend it.
Yang Chen smiled and said: "It's convenient, I will definitely go there tomorrow night."
Yang Min said happily: "Thank you, Director Yang. Then I won't disturb your work. See you tomorrow night."
Yang Chen nodded, and Yang Min ran away happily.
You can't go to someone else's birthday party empty-handed. You have to give some gifts anyway.
Yang Chen thought for a while and decided to bring a box of high-concentration physical strength-increasing liquid to fulfill her inner wish.
Early on Saturday morning, Yang Chen gave Lu Mei a day off and asked them to go home to spend the weekend with their families.
Yang Chen himself was not idle either. He took advantage of his free time to go back and visit his grandparents before visiting his parents' graves.
evening.
Yang Chen came to Yang Min's house.
Yang Min asked Yang Chen to sit in the living room, and she went to the kitchen to fry steak.
Not long after, Yang Min's birthday party was ready.
"Director Yang, I'm sorry. I originally invited other people, but they were all unavailable at night, so I can only ask you to celebrate your birthday with me." Yang Min said without changing her expression.
Yang Chen smiled and replied: "It's okay, just the two of us are fine. There are too many people, so I might feel uncomfortable."
Yang Min nodded happily and said: "That's good. Then wash your hands and get ready to eat. I'll change my clothes and come out."
Yang Chen got up and went to the bathroom to wash his hands. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Yang Min's underwear hanging on the hook on the wall.
"Damn, she's so big! The name Da Minmin suits her so well." Yang Chen couldn't help but sigh.
Yang Chen quickly washed his hands and went out to sit and wait for Yang Min to come out to eat.
Not long after, Yang Min, wearing a deep V evening dress, walked out of the bedroom.
Oh, no, how can people concentrate on eating when dressed like this?
The key is to watch or not to watch?
If you don't read it, you'll look like a prude.
If you look at it, it seems that you are not reserved.
It's so hard to be a man.
Yang Chen boldly stared at Da Minmin, and used mind-reading skills to read Yang Min's mental activities at this time.
"Dong Yang is a real man, hee hee..."
oh.
This is what Yang Min thinks in her heart, so there is no need to be so serious and just watch it boldly.
"Miss Yang is so beautiful tonight. This dress especially shows off your figure." Yang Chen praised.
Yang Min gently put her finger to her mouth and smiled, then said: "Thank you, Director Yang, for the compliment. I'm a little proud. Let's eat."
For this birthday party, Yang Min started preparing many days in advance. She was not preparing ingredients, but was learning from Fat Di about what to do tonight to win over Yang Chen without showing off and without embarrassment.
Fat Di was very loyal and shared his experience with Yang Min without reservation.
Yang Min is also very studious. No, she started to persuade Yang Chen to drink as soon as she came up. As long as both parties are drunk, everything will fall into place.
Yang Chen read Yang Min's inner activities and answered the questions according to the "answers", quickly cultivating the atmosphere.
At this time, Yang Min's cheeks were already red and she looked very attractive.
"Director Yang, I recently learned a dance. In order to thank you for coming to celebrate my birthday, I will dance it for you." Yang Min said with a smile.
Yang Chen nodded, got up and sat down next to the sofa, enjoying Yang Min's dance.
Yang Min didn't learn any new dances, she just danced some simple dance moves she learned from previous costume dramas.
The drunkard's intention is not wine, Xiangzhuang's sword dance, but Pei Gong's, the dancing is just a rhetoric, Yang Min's inner thought is to find a suitable opportunity to fall into Yang Chen's arms.
Yang Min saw that Yang Chen was looking fascinated and thought: "Now is the time!"
Yang Min made a 360-degree spin in the air and landed unsteadily. She threw her whole body towards Yang Chen. She placed her chin on the top of Yang Chen's head in great detail.
I have been writing ink all night just for this moment.
Burn to your heart's content.
At around ten o'clock in the morning, Yang Chen walked out of the bedroom.
At this time, Yang Min was limping towards the balcony carrying the freshly washed clothes.
"What's wrong with you? Why is your leg lame?" Yang Chen stepped forward and asked.
Yang Min shyly rolled her eyes at Yang Chen and said, "You know it in your heart."
Do you know it in your heart?
At this time, Yang Chen saw the empty bottles of high-concentration physical strength-increasing liquid piled up in the trash can, and instantly understood what Yang Min meant.
Yang Min went to the balcony to dry her clothes. Yang Chen took out a gift box from his pocket and walked over. He hugged Yang Min from behind and gave the gift box to her.
"The birthday gift I gave you, I was just admiring your beauty last night and forgot to give it to you." Yang Chen said with a smile.
Yang Min opened the gift box and found a gold bracelet inside, which was exactly the same as the gold bracelets in Chen Xi's and others' hands.
"Thank you. This table is beautiful and affordable. I like it very much." Yang Min said happily, raising her head and kissing Yang Chen.
Yang Chen quickly said: "You go and rest, I will dry the clothes."
Yang Min smiled and nodded, then limped back to the sofa in the living room to admire the gold bracelet.
Yang Chen finished drying his clothes, walked over, held Yang Min in his arms and asked, "What else do you want? I'll give it to you."
"No, this bracelet is enough." Yang Min quickly replied.
Yang Chen smiled and said: "A birthday gift is a birthday gift. I allow you to ask for another gift."
"I don't lack anything, so I don't want any more." Yang Min said.
Yang Chen immediately used mind reading to read Yang Min's inner activities. At this time, she really didn't want anything in her heart.
However, even if she doesn't want it back, Yang Chen still wants to give him something. After all, she is his woman now.
"By the way, do you read online novels?" Yang Chen asked.
Yang Min nodded and said: "Look! I read novels when I take a break on the set. I am reading "Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" recently. I think it is well written."
Yang Chen immediately asked: "Really? Is it over? Which website is it from?"
Yang Min quickly opened the Omi Literature APP and clicked on "Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" to show Yang Chen.
"It showed that it was over. I saw the part where the heroine's eyes were gouged out. I was angry and sad. The hero is really a waste. He can't even protect his own woman." Yang Min said angrily.
Yang Chen smiled and said: "Really or not, let me see how outrageous the plot is."
Yang Chen hugged Yang Min and started reading from the beginning. The novel had a total of 300,000 words. The two of them finally finished it at about two o'clock in the morning.
Yang Min rubbed her eyes, then asked with a smile: "How is it? Is the male protagonist Mo Yuan useless?"
"It's indeed a bit useless, but that's what women's novels are like. If you don't include some sadomasochistic plot, readers won't read it. I think it will be very popular if it is adapted into a TV series. Do you want to play Bai Qian?" Yang Chen asked.
Yang Min replied seriously: "Ah? Can this be adapted into a TV series? If it can be adapted, then I would rather play Bai Qian. Mo Yuan is useless, but Bai Qian is not useless."
"OK! I'll give Ma Tengfei a call. The first project of the company I'm working with is to turn this novel into a film!" Yang Chen said.
Yang Chen immediately called Ma Tengfei and said straight to the point: "Mr. Ma, there is a novel called "Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" on the Omi website. I think it is very good. Let's make it the first project of Siteng Network and film it first. The TV series will be used to test the waters. If the response is good, it will be made into a movie. The female lead will be Yang Min, and the second female lead will be Di Li. I will not interfere with the other actors. " Ma Tengfei immediately replied with a smile: "The novel chosen by Director Yang must be fine. It's up to you. I'll make it the first project of Siteng Network. I'll ask people to contact Omi to get the novel at a cheaper price. Sell the copyright to us. If Mr. Yang has time, he can read the novels at Seven Points and adapt them if they are suitable."
Yang Chen replied: "Well, I will read it when I have time. Hang up."
Yang Chen hung up the phone, and Yang Min said with admiration: "Director Yang, you are so awesome. Ma Tengfei seems to listen to you."
Yang Chen smiled evilly, picked up the physical strength-increasing liquid on the bedside table and drank a few sips, then said with a smile: "I will also make you obedient and obedient now."
Yang Min immediately got into bed shyly, and Yang Chen immediately got in as well.
……
At the beginning of a new week, Yang Chen, who was burdened with huge debts, had to work hard to make money again.
Chen Chao brought over the collected shares of listed companies held by NBA sponsors, broadcasters, team owners, and shareholders.
Yang Chen looked at it carefully three times and picked out the company he wanted to start with.
There are currently two largest broadcasters in the NBA, namely TNT and ESPN.
TNT is a subsidiary of Time Warner, which was acquired by AT&T after Time Warner delisted.
Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!
AT&T is the Bald Eagle Telephone and Telegraph Company. The company occupies a monopoly in the Bald Eagle Telephone and Telegraph industry. It is also a listed company with a total share capital of 7.175 billion shares, a current stock price of 2.35 Eagle Dollars, and a total market value of 168.6125 billion Eagle Dollars.
Therefore, Yang Chen can directly short AT&T and order TNT to teach Xiao Hua how to do things.
ESPN is a subsidiary of the Disney Group and one of Disney's main sources of revenue, accounting for more than one-third of the media network segment.
The Disney Group is the company that owns Disneyland. It is also a listed company, with a total share capital of 1.811 billion shares, a current stock price of 120 eagle coins, and a total market value of 217.32 billion eagle coins.
Nowadays, NBA player salaries have skyrocketed, and non-first-line superstars can receive annual salaries of more than 30 million or even 50 million.
Ten years ago, only players like Kobe and James could get this annual salary.
The reason why player wages have skyrocketed is that TNT and ESPN signed a broadcast contract with the NBA worth 24 billion Eagles.
Although it is an exaggeration to say that these two broadcasters control the lifeblood of the NBA, it is not an exaggeration.
If this broadcast contract is gone, the owners will have no money to pay the players premium wages.
Players cannot get the agreed wages, and at worst, the union intervenes, and at worst, there is a strike and suspension.
Anyway, we have taken action. Shorting two companies is shorting, and shorting 20 companies is also shorting.
Yang Chen continued to choose companies suitable for his work.
Clippers owner Baumol is the president of Microsoft and holds 4% of Microsoft's shares. If Microsoft's stock price plummets because of him, he will definitely compromise.
Knicks owner Dolan is the president of Bald Eagle Cable Company and holds 20% of the company's shares. His main wealth comes from these shares and the valuation of the Knicks.
As long as the cable company's stock price plummets, Dolan will compromise.
There are so many companies that can do short selling. Yang Chen needs to communicate with the five major banks to determine how much funds they can allocate for operations, and then determine the final short selling list.
Chen Chao submitted another work report, briefly introducing the process and results of short selling Penguin Holdings last week.
All the stocks borrowed by Sihai Investment, BlackRock and other companies have been returned and 6% of their remuneration has been paid.
The total profit from shorting Penguin Holdings this time was about 45 billion. According to Yang Chen's instructions, these funds have all bought Penguin Holdings' shares at an average price of 235.5 Hong Kong dollars, totaling about 191 million shares, accounting for about 2% of the total share capital.
Penguin's stock price is now recovering rapidly. As of now, it has returned to more than 280 Hong Kong dollars, and it will only return to more than 400 Hong Kong dollars in two trading days tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
Yang Chen nodded with satisfaction and said: "Well done. Let's not be too greedy. We will start clearing positions when the stock price reaches 600 Hong Kong dollars. The highest record of Penguin Holdings' stock price is 700 Hong Kong dollars. Let's not bet on whether it can break the record this time. , 600 price is enough for clearance.”
Chen Chao quickly wrote down the shipping price, and then said: "Okay, Director Yang, I remember it. Do you have any other instructions?"
Yang Chen shook his head and said: "No more, go and get busy."
After Chen Chao left, Yang Chen immediately asked the presidents of the five major banks to hold a video conference.
"Presidents, how much funds are you planning to use this time?" Yang Chen asked.
ICBC President Zhao Kun immediately said: "There are enough funds, you can use as much as you want."
Wang Wanli, President of Longguo Bank, followed up and said: "That's right! Director Yang can use as much as he wants. Funds are not something you should worry about. You only need to worry about which companies to short."
The other bank presidents also have the same idea. They manage enough funds and Yang Chen can use them as he pleases.
Yang Chen nodded with a smile and said: "Still the old rules, the profits will be divided in half. Is that okay?"
Zhao Kun laughed loudly and said: "That's necessary!"
"We are not afraid that you will share the money, but we are afraid that you will not share the money." Wang Wanli said.
"That's right! As long as you want to share the money, it means you are still willing to cooperate with us. If you don't want to share the money, you won't cooperate with us next time. If you don't tell us, we will share half of it with you." Li Baitao, the general manager of the commercial bank, said with a smile.
Yang Chen smiled and nodded, saying: "OK! Work overtime tonight, let's get started!"
"Haha... no problem! See you tonight!" Zhao Kun said happily.
They will soon be able to make a lot of money again, so these general managers will naturally be happy.
Yang Chen ended the video conference and immediately determined the list of companies to be shorted tonight.
Not long after, Adidas President Hebner called Yang Chen.
"Hello, Mr. Yang, I'm almost arriving at Sihai Group. Will you have time to meet and chat with me later?" Hebner said with a smile.
Yang Chen smiled and said: "Yes. Come on, I'll wait for you."
Hebner brought a team of more than a dozen people here this time. In addition to signing a cooperation agreement with the Sihai Basketball Team, he will also inspect the main stores of Longguo to see where the problem lies and why Adidas is there. Dragon Kingdom suddenly couldn’t sell it anymore.
Not long after, Yang Chen met with Hebner.
"Wow, Mr. Yang is so powerful, with ruthless and decisive operating techniques. I thought you were a very experienced veteran, but I didn't expect you to be so young. It's incredible, it's terrible. In the next half century, global finance and capital will The market has to live in your fear," Hebner said with a smile.
Yang Chen laughed loudly and said: "Mr. Hebner's words are too exaggerated. I'm not a devil, so why am I still living in my fear? Come, sit down and talk."
Everyone sat down, Yang Chen and Hebner chatted for a while, and then the two sides got down to business.
Before Hebner left, Adidas and Sihai Sports had finalized a cooperation agreement. Now the leaders of both parties just need to sign it directly.
The main contents of the agreement are as follows:
First, Adidas sponsors the Sihai Basketball Team with a sponsorship fee of 350 million euros every year, and obtains the advertising rights for the lower body of the jersey and one of the player's shoes.
Second, Adidas gives Sihai Sports 1.5 million euros every year to purchase community promotion services developed by Sihai Real Estate.
Third, the agreement is valid for 10 years, and all sponsorship fees are paid in one lump sum. If the cooperation is terminated midway, Sihai Sports will decide whether to refund the sponsorship fees.
Generally speaking, all the terms are beneficial to Sihai Sports, especially if the two parties terminate the cooperation, it is up to Sihai Sports to decide whether to refund the money. This clause ensures that the money cannot be returned after it enters Sihai Sports' account.
Hebner and Sihai Sports President Chen Yulong signed on behalf of both parties respectively, and the agreement officially came into effect after being stamped.
Hebner made a call, and soon Sihai Sports' overseas account received two remittances of 3.5 billion euros and 15 million euros.
In order to ensure the safety of funds, these funds will not stay in the account, but will be transferred directly to the accounts of the five major banks in Europe. Then the five major banks will convert Jackie Chan coins according to the real-time exchange rate and transfer them to Sihai Sports' domestic account.
This series of operations sounds complicated, but it is not complicated at all. In less than an hour, Sihai Sports received funds from the five major banks.
Sihai Sports and Adidas issued an announcement together, officially announcing that Adidas and the Sihai Basketball Team have reached a cooperative relationship.
"After friendly negotiation, Sihai Sports and Adidas reached a cooperation agreement. Adidas will pay Sihai Sports 350 million euros every year and obtain the advertising rights for the lower body jersey of the Sihai Basketball Team and one foot of the players. At the same time, Adidas will make additional expenditures every year 1.5 million euros to purchase community promotion services developed by Sihai Real Estate across the country. The agreement will take effect immediately and will be valid for 10 years.”
Sihai Sports, Sihai Real Estate, and Sihai Property immediately jointly issued a new announcement.
"Sihai Sports will spend 100 million dragon coins to purchase community promotion services developed by Sihai Real Estate across the country. This service will only be used to promote the Adidas basketball series. The funds will be taken over by Sihai Real Estate and will be used according to the actual advertising fees generated at the end of the year. Dividends to owners ”
Soon these two announcements were placed on the hot search lists of major platforms by netizens.
"Adidaos is really sensible. Boss Yang just saved its stock price from Wall Street, and they immediately came over to pay the protection fee."
"The Sihai Basketball Team has just been established, and the sponsorship fees it has received are more than the sponsorship fees CBA has received since its establishment, right? After all, they only give Eagle coins and Euro coins, which are really sky-high prices when converted into Jackie Chan coins."< br>
"According to Boss Yang's operation, if other companies continue to sponsor the Sihai team in the future, they will definitely purchase community promotion services, which means that the owners of Sihai will receive more and more dividends. If this continues, the owners will receive more and more dividends every year in the future. There’s enough money to pay off the mortgage.”
"Since the last time we said we would pay dividends to owners in Sihai, the price of second-hand houses in Sihai has generally increased by 10%, and the supply is still in short supply. Don't even think about it, the prices of second-hand houses in Sihai will continue to rise in the future. I hope now Sihai quickly launched a new version, I must buy one.”
……
When Huo Qiuyan, chairman of Baoli Real Estate, saw the news, her brows curled up in depression.
The policy of joining forces with other real estate companies to force Yang Chen to cancel dividends to owners has definitely failed. Huo Qiuyan can only find a way to deal with Yang Chen's competition on her own.
After thinking about it, she only had the option of price reduction and promotion.
"Asshole, bastard, how can you do this kind of business! You have so many debts, and you still have to distribute the money you make to the owners. You have these sponsors to pay for advertising, but we don't have sponsors to pay for advertising. You'd better Don't let me catch you, or I'll knock you down in one go!" Huo Qiuyan said to herself.
Baoli Real Estate's net profit last year was more than 20 billion, and it has plenty of room for price cuts.
At the same time, Yu Hongliang, chairman of Wangke Real Estate, also saw the relevant news. He was originally hesitant about cutting prices, but now he no longer dares to hesitate. There is no other way to compete with Sihai Real Estate except price reduction and promotion. .
Other real estate companies have also made similar decisions. While Sihai Real Estate has not yet been revived, they have to quickly reduce prices to promote the properties in their hands. Otherwise, when Sihai Real Estate's new properties are launched, their houses will be even more difficult to sell.
As a result, major real estate developers immediately sent price reduction notices to their branches.
Real estate consultants, intermediaries, etc. immediately called prospective customers to inform them of the price reduction.
Such a large-scale wave of industry-wide price cuts quickly became a hot topic, and major media rushed to report related news.
Caixin.com: Yang Chen’s power to distribute dividends to property owners has gradually increased. He has forced major real estate developers into desperation. They all offer price reductions, at least 95% off, and some even sell houses at 20% off. Who would have thought that housing prices, which have always been high, would be brought down by Yang Chen's strategy of dividends from property owners. Even if you don't buy a house, you still have to thank Yang Chen, because when housing prices come down, the rest of the economy will improve, and everyone will benefit.
