Chapter 377 The ET Alien Ready to Go

Zhou Mi laughed meaningfully, "The shares in Hongkong Land in my hands are almost the same as yours. It seems that Mr. Tang's privatization goal of delisting this company is almost realized."

"It's so amazing!" Niu Bijian's eyes straightened at that moment.

……

After a round of collision of power, the next thing is naturally a confrontation of intelligence.Fighting and stopping is exactly the old-fashioned way of fighting for interests for a long time.

The result of the capital war launched by Tang Huan so far is that Qinhe has surpassed Jardine and has mastered more than 40.00% of the shares of Landmark.

With the shares concentrated to such an extent, the issue of privatization and delisting can indeed be considered.

In fact, after successfully speculating on the battle for Wharf Warehouse and Carrian Group’s self-buying and selling to speculate on the stock price, Tang Huan quietly started the layout of Jardine Matheson and Landmark, and took about [-]% of the shares he got, secretly Place it under the name of another unrelated company and keep it as a trump card.

Therefore, at present, Qinhe has actually obtained a complete controlling stake in Hongkong Land, but this public announcement is still under study.

At this time, HSBC, a major creditor, stepped in and took away 20.00% of Jardine shares held by Hongkong Land, temporarily avoiding its fall with the name change of Hongkong Land.

When such a change occurs, the trump card must be revealed. This meeting is for Zhou Mi to show off his cards.

"You have to give up the positions of Chairman of the Board of Directors and Managing Director of Hong Kong Land, and you should understand why." After a few routine quarrels, Zhou Mi coldly issued an ultimatum.

"Is it because HSBC took away the 20.00% Jardine shares?" Niu Bijian laughed triumphantly, "I wanted to make a surprise, but I didn't expect you to be so vigilant."

"Are you going to step back on your own initiative, or should I drive you away?" Zhou Mi asked with a frown.

"Tang Huanlai said the same thing to me, why do you?" Niu Bijian pouted and asked Zhou Mi provocatively, "Now everyone is a major shareholder, that's all."

"No, I have the final say now." Zhou Mi threw the two documents over, "That's what I rely on."

Niu Bijian flipped through a few pages with disdain, and his face immediately turned pale. Why did the other party suddenly have [-]% more shares in his hand? His most direct reaction was that another party had abandoned Jardine.

"Let me introduce you." Zhou Mi raised his hand and motioned to a white man in his 40s among the entourage, "This is Simon Murray——Simon Murray, whose Chinese name is Ma Shimin, once started in 1965. Worked for Jardines for 14 years, don't know if you remember this former colleague, but it doesn't matter anymore, he will take over as managing director."

Speaking of this, Zhou Mi glanced at Bao Fuda, who was sitting next to Niu Bijian with an uncertain expression, "Of course, if you are still willing to continue working in Landmark, I welcome you on behalf of Mr. Tang."

With nowhere to go, Niu Bi firmly slapped the table, "It's no big deal, I'll give you the chairman's seat, and you'll soon find out what it means to be in debt."

"Mr. Tang has already predicted what kind of mess you will leave behind. Fortunately, he has never been short of money. It is easy to continue to be the savior." Zhou Mi leaned forward to take back the documents, and then walked all the way in a furious way. nice gesture.

Niu Bijian walked away, Bao Fuda moved his buttocks a few times, and finally did not leave his seat.

You know, Newbigan is a super executive, and he lost his position as chairman of the board of directors and managing director of Landmark, as well as his position as chairman of the board of directors and managing director of Jardine Matheson. But once Bao Fuda leaves Landmark, his only position is also the best. My position is about to go, and I really can’t bear to part with it.

Seeing Niu Bijian walk away angrily, Zhou Mi praised in his heart, the effect of this trump card is really immediate, but he doesn't know what kind of effect the remaining Jardine will have.

"Immediately announce to the public that Qinhe has successfully acquired Hongkong Land and obtained a controlling stake. The purchase of Hongkong Land shares that are in circulation in the market has temporarily come to an end, and Jardine shares are not included." Zhou Mi ordered in a deep voice.

When Xiangjiang Land, which controls a large number of prime real estate properties including Central, really changed its owner, the whole of Xiangjiang immediately exploded.

Gein’s incident clearly tells everyone that the strength of technology stocks is really no worse than that of traditional tycoons. Purely relying on a head-to-head contest, they crushed the established company Landmark.

This has opened the horizons of Hong Kong people, and there are many ways to make a fortune. It turns out that the Cyberport built by Tang Huan in the Hershey Center in East Tsim Sha Tsui has significantly increased its popularity several times.

But people are also wondering, Qinhe has already controlled Hongkong Land, which is equivalent to controlling Jardine, why is it still absorbing its shares in the market at a high price.

Enthusiastic voluntary science popularizers have never been less, and they quickly sent answers. It turned out that HSBC suddenly took a 20.00% stake in Jardine from Hongkong Land, and the side effects of the chain ship structure were not fully utilized.

However, the non-performing asset structure caused by the close connection between the two companies still exists, and Qinhe, which has already controlled Hongkong Land, has obtained a mess. Therefore, all contradictions must be resolved by taking down Jardine.

That is to say, this battle is not over yet, and everyone still has a chance to make a fortune, but they can't miss the market anymore. Those who chose to exchange shares in Japanese game companies have already made a fortune.

It has to be said that this capital war has taught Xiangjiang a lesson, allowing it to see the wealth myth in it more than ten years earlier than the Internet technology bubble in 2000 in the original time and space.

……

The experience at an altitude of [-] meters is really extraordinary and adds a lot of fun.

If it wasn't for the consideration that Deng Lijun would face a lot of work immediately after arriving in the United States, Tang Huan might have gone all the way absurdly.

After confirming that the overall situation in Xiangjiang was settled, Tang Huan got up and rushed to the United States with confidence, and Deng Lijun happened to be on his way.

In fact, Tang Huan couldn't do anything without leaving. When he really won the land with his own strength, a new round of peacemakers appeared in order to keep his ears quiet.It would be better to go back to the United States and stay for a while.

Moreover, it is said that the outgoing Governor of Hong Kong, MacLehose, suffered a slight stroke due to overwork, which is really a sin.

After arriving in San Francisco, Tang Huan really felt the enthusiastic news effect brought about by the Fisher Salvage Company's search for the Titanic, and the Texas oil tycoon Jack Grimm who lost the bet was unwilling to be lonely, saying bitterly I was defeated by the eccentric goddess of luck, and sent over 100 million US dollars.

The media waited for Tang Huan to appear, accept the huge sum of money, and then express their thoughts on this matter positively.

"Losing money is so impressive, this rich man really has a lot of brains." After listening to Tang Wenmao's report, Tang Huan, who had to cooperate, shook his head unhappily.

Since the media are so interested, let's all go to the CD-ROM's new product launch conference.

Slightly different from Japan's new product launch conference, San Francisco's new product launch conference has one more content, which is to display sample drives and discs using CD-RW technology.

One of the technical cores of CD drives is the laser head, and in the process of CD-RW implementation, due to the low reflectivity of laser light, a MultiRead technology has to be adopted for ordinary CD-ROM drives to read the discs burned by them. compatible.

Fortunately, Tang Huan pointed out the right direction of research and development. At present, the engineers have made the two-in-one CD-ROM and CD-RW seamlessly connected and used. A large floppy disk with an access speed of 150 KB per second has a very bright application prospect. The only limiting factor is the price.

Tang Huan likes to make money in the field of enterprise applications, and CD-RW will undoubtedly be favored by those who are willing to pay.

Woz, who temporarily got rid of the worries of work and completed the rest of his studies at the University of California, Berkeley, developed a strong interest in [-]-in-[-] CD-ROMs and CD-RWs. He went to the release site in person to join in the fun, and said that he and Tang Huan were preparing to For music festivals, be sure to use this product.

One of the hobbies of hackers is to like music, and it is natural for them to love the content support of digital music for personal computers. Woz is an example.

However, the digital content of CDs is not rich at present. The music CDs only include Deng Lijun's "A Touch of Love", the blessing music "My Heart Will Go On" released for the Fisher Salvage Company to search for the Titanic, and three orchestral pieces, as well as It is the battle song "HeS A Pirate" for Qinhe's acquisition of Jardine and Landmark.

Obviously, Deng Lijun's music occupies an absolute share, and it has become the first song that most early adopters and enthusiasts of digital music hear when they enjoy the achievements of this technology. It can be called an enlightenment teacher.

Woz, who was afraid that his music festival would be deserted, also invited Deng Lijun to be there.

The new product launch conference in San Francisco attracted great attention due to the news craze about the discovery of the Titanic. In terms of product promotion alone, it has been extremely successful.

What makes Tang Huan most happy is that with "My Heart Will Go On", which has steadily risen on the US Billboard Top [-] Singles Chart, Deng Lijun has officially entered the vision of ordinary Americans, and many media are inquiring about her English album. When will it be launched.

The subordinates sent by Texas oil tycoon Jack Grimm to send money were not happy with Tang Huan anymore, saying that you promised to prepare a grand occasion and accept the bet my boss lost, but in the end you only introduced your new products, and even That Chinese female singer was also sought after by the media, but I was the only one left behind.

So, this conscientious man couldn't bear it anymore, took the 100 million dollar check, walked forward, and proudly said to Tang Huan across the table: "My boss, Jack Grim, values ​​credit the most. , He specifically asked me to send the 100 million dollars I lost to you."

"Almost forgot about it." Tang Huan muttered to himself, took the check with a smile, glanced at it, and showed it to the public, "It's really $100 million."

The reporters who also almost forgot about this stumble quickly raised their cameras, and the sound of clicking clicked instantly.

"Should I ask my lawyer if this kind of behavior does not violate the law?" Tang Huan flicked the check and joked, which attracted laughter from everyone.

"Perhaps, we can make this matter more meaningful." Tang Huan said here, asked his assistant to bring over the check book, and also filled out a check for 100 million US dollars, which was attached to Jack Grimm's , and handed them to Deng Lijun.

"Ms. Deng is a goodwill ambassador appointed by UNICEF. Since she happens to be here today, let's entrust Jack Grimm's 100 million US dollars and the 100 million US dollars I follow as gifts." Tang Huan smiled. Then, put the two checks in Deng Lijun's hands.

Seeing this scene, Jack Grimm's subordinates were a little surprised, but as long as the boss's requirements for a certain scene of giving money were met, he didn't want to make trouble out of nothing.

After finishing the new product launch conference that revealed a lot of news, Tang Huan welcomed Spielberg. The big director came to show him a special movie. The work "ET Alien" is basically ready to go.

"How's the harvest?" Tang Huan casually asked Lin Qingxia who had been following the project team.

"It's hard to say." Lin Qingxia, who was a little thin, was quite emotional.

Tang Huan smiled slightly, and turned his attention to the movie. Based on the box office in his previous life, Gein was worth millions of dollars per minute, which was totally worth his time.

With the support of Tang Huan's D2 and Lucas' Industrial Light & Magic, the special effects of "ET Alien" are more perfect than the old version, but other aspects seem to be the same.

In addition to filming "ET Alien" for United Artists, Spielberg also filmed "Haunter" for MGM. The former is full of childlike fun, while the latter is eerie, but he switched his thinking smoothly.

"How do you feel, Don?" Spielberg asked sincerely after the film was over.

"Really want to hear my thoughts?" Tang Huan asked with a smile.

"Of course." Spielberg nodded seriously.

"Remove the shots of the police holding guns, and replace it with a flashlight or a walkie-talkie. In short, it can't be a gun." Tang Huan stood up and walked out, "I hope you can really listen to my advice."

Spielberg was slightly taken aback. He didn't expect Tang Huan to have such an idea. Others had given similar advice before, but he didn't accept it.

After pondering for a while, Spielberg caught up with Tang Huan, "Tang, do you really want EA to develop the "ET Alien" video game, but I found that they seem to be slow in their actions, and they haven't made any further contact until now. I."
