Chapter 501 Tunhe in the Western Region
Looking at the information in his hand, Qiu Mingcheng said in surprise.
"Tunhe in the Western Regions?"
"Know?"
Qiu Mingcheng nodded, "One of the three oldest shares under the famous Delong, the first agricultural group in the Western Regions .”
In this era, Xiyu Tunhe has a registered capital of 806 million yuan and total assets of 3.1 billion yuan.
Tunhe has invested 1.4 billion yuan in 19 counties and cities in the southern and northern parts of the Western Region, and has initially formed an annual output of 380,000 tons of tomato sauce and its series of products, 33,000 tons of forest fruit products, and 180,000 tons of sugar. production capacity.
The entire Western Region provides Tunhe with more than 3 million tons of agricultural products every year, involving 200,000 farmers.
It is a national-level key leading enterprise in agricultural industrialization.
And it is also the world's largest tomato paste export and processing company.
"During this period, in addition to focusing on the soybean business, you also asked your people to collect more information about Tunhe in the Western Region, including finance and personnel. The more detailed the better." Xu Liangdao.
Qiu Mingcheng felt excited, the big boss wanted to acquire it.
"Don't worry, I will do my best to fulfill your instructions."
During this period, what he was most worried about was that Fengshou Agriculture would be disbanded and he would be directly laid off from the company.
Now, if we acquire Xiyu Tunhe, he will be the best person at the helm.
"I'm waiting to see your results."
Xu Liang stayed in Hanhua until the afternoon before leaving.
——
Sixi Building, Box No. 9.
“Mr. Xu, we’re here.”
Lu Hui said respectfully.
Xu Liang nodded, stood up and went out to greet him.
Soon, a middle-aged white man in a white shirt and his secretary walked over under the guidance of the waiter.
Seeing Xu Liang standing in front of the door, the middle-aged man took two hurried steps forward and extended his right hand in advance.
"Hello, Mr. Xu, it's a great honor to meet you."
"Mr. Lauder is welcome, please come in."
After saying 'thank you', Teejay Lauder stepped in.
The two were seated separately as guest and host.
“I ordered some local specialties, I hope Mr. Lauder will like it.”
“Chinese cuisine is full of color and flavor, and has always been my favorite food, especially Mapo Tofu and braised pork ”
"Tell the chef to add a portion of Mapo tofu and braised pork to Mr. Lauder."
After nodding, Lu Hui turned around and walked out.
“Thank you, Mr. Xu.”
Xu Liang smiled and nodded.
"How long will Mr. Lauder stay in Beijing this time?"
"It depends on when Hongmeng's Series B financing ends."
"Haha, that's a long time. Mr. Lauder can take a good look at the scenery of the capital."
Ti Jai Loud smiled and said confidently.
"Mr. Xu, we at Goldman Sachs are strong and are a hugely influential financial giant on Wall Street, in the United States, and even around the world. With our joining, we can help Hongmeng develop better in the global Internet industry. "
Xu Liang smiled and said: "I believe what Mr. Lauder said, but people from Morgan Stanley, Merrill Lynch, Lehman Brothers, and Citigroup also told me so."
His meaning is very clear. Although Goldman Sachs is strong, it is not Hongmeng’s only choice.
And among the Wall Street investment banks in this era, Merrill Lynch is the undisputed number one. Goldman Sachs suffered heavy losses in the Nasdaq crisis because of its heavy position in the Internet.
It has slipped from second place to behind Merrill Lynch and Morgan Stanley.
It really became the boss after the subprime mortgage crisis ended.
“I admit that Hongmeng has many choices, but we can help you acquire Marvel.”
"It's just Marvel. It's best if you can acquire it. It doesn't matter if you can't acquire it." Xu Liang said with a smile.
Marvel is still a piece of junk right now, and the companies that are interested in it are Disney, which is still fighting among themselves, and Oracle, which is the troublemaker.
Disney already has a solution.
Oracle, as time passes, Marvel will understand the nature of this guy.
Politically, there are many vested interest groups behind Hanhua, so in Xu Liang's view, acquiring Marvel is just a matter of time, not a difficult issue.
Of course he would not exchange Hongmeng's interests.
What a loss.
Tiger Lauder frowned slightly. Things seemed to be different from what the company had expected.
However, whether the other party really doesn't care about the success or failure of the acquisition, or whether it has a solution, we still need to test it out to find out.
"Mr. Xu, Oracle is currently actively negotiating with Marvel. If you don't hurry up, I'm afraid you will lose a potential company."
"Haha, it doesn't matter. If Oracle wants it, just give it to it. How does that idiot Ellison know how to run a comic company?"
Tiger Lauder automatically filtered Xu Liang's sarcasm , he is more concerned about the other party’s attitude towards Marvel.
But from the current point of view, Xu Liang really doesn’t seem to care about Marvel’s ownership.
This is not a good thing.
"Mr. Xu, you may not care about Marvel, but what if it is a top Hollywood film company?" Xu Liang raised his eyebrows, "I don't quite understand what Mr. Lauder said."
“Hongmeng’s main business is Internet search and pan-entertainment. Now Hongmeng’s Bing search has become the world’s largest Internet search company. Its technology is excellent and widely used. It has been successful.
But our pan-entertainment industry, apart from the game industry, the most important film and television industry has always been limited to East Asia and Southeast Asia, and even in these regions, your market share is very small
<. br>But if you can build a top Hollywood film group, it will greatly make up for your shortcomings in this area," Teejay Lauder said.
“It seems that Goldman Sachs knows our Hongmeng company very well.”
"Of course, we will carefully understand any company that Goldman Sachs will invest in. Only by understanding can we provide post-investment services and help the target company develop better."
Xu Liang nodded slightly, " But I wonder which company Goldman Sachs can help us acquire? By the way, forget it if it’s a second-tier film company like New Line or Lionsgate.” Huge in size, rich in film library, and most importantly, because they have mastered the classification of all movies.
American film classification is not a mandatory system. It is the independent choice of the film producer to decide whether a film should be classified.
So, you can decide how to classify the movies you make.
It is very consistent with the contract spirit of "freedom and equality" between the United States and the United States.
But America has its own national conditions.
Slogans and all that are just deceiving people, so listen to them.
Capitalists know exactly what to choose.
Therefore, basically all film producers choose to submit film ratings, and all members of the MPAA also agree to classify all films they want to release.
And MPAA, the Motion Picture Association of America.
The main members of its committee are jointly served by the chairs and presidents of the seven largest film and television media giants in the United States.
The seven giants are MGM, Universal, Paramount, Disney, Sony, 20th Century Fox and Warner Brothers.
With their own power, the Big Seven of Hollywood basically monopolize the distribution of all films in the United States.
With this power, Hollywood has not changed much in half a century.
This is also one of the reasons why Xu Liang plans to acquire the Seven Majors in Hollywood. Only by becoming a chess player can he truly control his own life and death. Otherwise, even if he can acquire Marvel, most of his profits will be eaten up by others.
Look at "Harry Potter". After Order of the Phoenix was released, the cost was 160 million yuan and the box office was over 900 million US dollars. Anyone with a normal IQ knows that the producers and distributors made a lot of money.
But Warner said.
NO, although the box office of this film exceeded US$900 million, including DVD, TV rights, and peripheral sales, it exceeded US$2 billion, but we lost US$167 million.
There is nothing new under the sun.
Peter Jackson was also screwed badly.
The Lord of the Rings trilogy cost less than 300 million and sold for 2.9 billion U.S. dollars. As a producer, he didn't get a dime of dividends.
New Line Cinema directly said, we have lost money and have no money.
Jackson was furious, impossible, I want to check the accounts.
New Line Cinema, get out of here and stop causing trouble.
Jackson's eyes turned red with anger, I'm suing you.
New Line Cinema, it’s up to you.
The same thing happened to blockbusters such as "Star Wars Episode III: Return of the Jedi", "Men in Black", and "Forrest Gump".
Their main characteristic is that they have high box office but lose money.
Hollywood is a typical dark jungle, where big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat shrimps.
Xu Liang didn't want what he worked so hard to make to be eaten by others.
So for so many years, I have known that many blockbusters are making money, and even investing in one can make five or six billion US dollars, or even more.
The reason why Hanhua Capital was never involved.
There are too many ways to trick you.
So in this broken place like Hollywood, only by becoming a chess player can you protect your own interests.
Seeing Xu Liang's move, Deejay Lauder smiled and said: "With Mr. Xu's intelligence, it should be clear which company I am talking about?"
"Universal?"
"Not bad. . Now that Vivendi has put Vivendi Global on the shelves, we can help Mr. Xu buy it."
Xu Liang smiled and said: "Mr. Lauder, as far as I know, the United States does not. Foreigners are allowed to own both television networks and film and television companies. "
Video Universal not only owns Universal Studios, but also has 5 Universal theme parks, 14 local American television stations, and USA cable television networks.
This is a huge asset worth over 10 billion.
"Mr. Xu, you only need to change your nationality like Mr. Murdoch, and you can easily bypass this law."
Xu Liang shook his head, "In the next ten years, China will be the world's largest In a place with the most active economic development, retaining Chinese nationality is more important to me.
Also, I am not very interested in TV networks.
If Goldman Sachs can assist Hongmeng in acquiring Universal Film and Television. As for Universal Theme Park, then I can guarantee that under the same conditions, Goldman Sachs can get the majority of shares in Hongmeng’s Series B financing.”
Teejay Lauder quickly said: "We want 10% and serve as a consultant for this transaction."
"There is no problem with the transaction consultant, but the maximum is 4%."
"Mr. Xu , this is too little and does not match our efforts.”
