Reborn Tech Maniac

Chapter 701 The former monopoly wants to fight the monopoly

……

"How is it?" After Liu Luanxiong put down the phone, Huang Yulang asked impatiently.

"It's no big deal. We'll discuss it in detail after we meet." Liu Luanxiong stood up and waved his hand, "Let's go together. Pu Weishi, Li Bancheng, and Guo Henian are all waiting for us."

"Can I go too?" Huang Yulang, who was greatly surprised, asked ecstatically.

Don't look at this Emperor Yulang who is proud of his talent and arrogant on weekdays, but top circles like HSBC Taipan, "Superman Li" and "Asian Sugar King" obviously have no way to get in, but now the opportunity is at his fingertips, of course he can't Calm down.

"That's for sure." Liu Luanxiong smiled understandingly. After all, not long ago, his mentality was similar to that of the other party.

In fact, although Liu Luanxiong was selected by HSBC as the vanguard of the charge, Pu Weishi, the chairman of HSBC, rarely saw him. On weekdays, he was a secret special small team to maintain all-round contact.

But as the situation of this capital war escalates, some things must be communicated face to face, which in turn allows Liu Luanxiong to enter high-end circles that he had never thought of before.

……

As soon as they met, Huang Yulang was praised by Pu Weishi with a smile, such as "the rising Hong Kong media tycoon", etc., and he was very pleased with the praise.

This is exactly why Huang Yulang and Liu Luanxiong can still maintain a minimum of self-esteem when facing big figures who are obviously higher than Pu Weishi, Li Bancheng, and Guo Henian—they are all in their 30s now, and the A few old men in their 60s and [-]s may not be able to achieve such high achievements as themselves during the same age group.

Of course, Huang Yulang and Liu Luanxiong couldn't compare with Tang Huan, the height of the richest man was much higher than them.Perhaps, this is also a dark reason hidden deep in the hearts of the two of them who are uncomfortable looking for Tang Huan.

Seeing Huang Yulang's cheerful look, Li Bancheng and Guo Henian smiled and said nothing.In their eyes, this newly emerged media force does have a special role.When attacking Tang Huan and Qin He, Qin Qin would not verify the authenticity of any news. As long as it could discredit the other party, he would reveal it without hesitation.It’s unclear how far a so-called media tycoon with such a business style can go, but it will be enough to serve in this acquisition war.And a few real business tycoons don't mind flattering the little guys so that they can satisfy the vanity of young people and then work hard to kill themselves with enthusiasm.

After exchanging pleasantries, the atmosphere became more relaxed, and Pu Weishi began to talk about business, "The $20 billion fund that Qin He just raised was Tang Huan's investment in assets including Xiangjiang Real Estate. Loans from Japanese banks. So, you don’t need to worry too much, any large-scale capital transfers by Tang Huan and Qinhe within the Xiangjiang area will not escape the eyes and ears of HSBC, and they have no surprise soldiers to send.”

"Has Tang Huan mortgaged the family property that he managed to acquire - Heung Kong Land?" Huang Yulang's eyes lit up, "I just don't know if DreamWorks has been mortgaged in the same way."

"Why, does Emperor Yulang still want to be the Emperor of Entertainment?" Pu Weishi joked, and everyone laughed, as if they thought Huang Yulang's ambition was normal.

"There is motivation only when there is a goal." Huang Yulang explained bluntly: "A land king in Central like Heung Kong Properties is naturally a delicious meal for several big bosses. We are not qualified to worry about it, but DreamWorks is different. .”

Although Pu Weishi, Li Bancheng, and Guo Henian are definitely scheming and well-established figures, after hearing Huang Yulang's speech, they still couldn't help showing a thumping look on their faces.

After Tang Huan completed the acquisition of Jardine and Hongkong Land, relying on his strong capital, he transfused blood on his own, and at the same time contracted across the board, so that the entire Qinhe line did not leave any chance for outsiders to attack.

But with Xiangjiang Electric unexpectedly becoming a gap in the entire consortium, and Qinhe Group carrying out a super rights issue to raise funds, this closed-door state no longer exists.

The reason why HSBC is now able to form a luxurious anti-Tang alliance to start a round of battle is precisely because everyone has seen a once-in-a-lifetime siege opportunity.

If the sky and the sky are not taken, you will be blamed; if the time is not good, you will be blamed instead.

This is especially true for the Guo family who want to open up the situation in Xiangjiang. Tang Huan's Qinhe family has become a stumbling block on the way forward and must be removed decisively.

"Huang Sheng is going to be disappointed. DreamWorks should not be included in this mortgage." After Pu Weishi gave the answer, he said persuasively: "However, as long as we continue to increase the pressure, I believe Tang Huan will have to continue to increase Weight, and then sell the iron. At that time, it will be difficult for DreamWorks to escape the fate of being mortgaged."

"That's so true." Huang Yulang, who was convinced, slapped his thigh excitedly, "Several big shots joined forces, and Tang Huan's cards are not enough. See how I embarrass him in the newspaper after I go back." .”

It has to be said that Huang Yulang has already fought a little crazy, and he does not hide at all that he is "using public tools for private use".

Liu Luanxiong will not be as ignorant and fearless as Huang Yulang, a stickler in the capital field. Although he has HSBC as the backing, and big shots like Li Bancheng and Guo Henian provide real assistance, as long as the acquisition is not the result of the "blitzkrieg" that he is familiar with Without rhythm, his heart is not stable, which is also determined by his background far inferior to the real boss.

"As far as the scope of Xiangjiang Electric is concerned, we can indeed catch the turtle in the urn. But don't forget that Tang Huan is the richest man in the United States. It has been a long time since the news of Xiangjiang Electric's acquisition officially came out. With this buffer, it is enough to raise enough resources in the United States to support Xiangjiang." Liu Luanxiong frowned and said slowly.

"Liu Sheng is an expert, what he said is very true." Pu Weishi exchanged glances with Li Bancheng and Guo Henian while speaking, then took out a document, handed it to Liu Luanxiong, and added: "Tang We have been paying close attention to Huan's situation in the United States, and this is the latest and most comprehensive information."

"The title of Tang Huan, the richest man in the United States, is absolutely true and full of gold. First, EA's video games made billions of dollars in the best years of the U.S. market; and then there is Fangyuan Computer. It has become the world’s most valuable listed company.”

Hearing Tang Huan's strength from the HSBC Taipan himself, Huang Yulang couldn't help but take a deep breath, and he quickly picked up his cup to cover up, so as not to be seen as a joke.

"However, while the richest man is enjoying a luxurious life comparable to that of an emperor, he has made two very expensive personal investments." Pu Weishi continued as if he didn't realize it.

"One is the California high-speed rail that we all know has an investment of more than 300 billion US dollars. The other is a cellular phone communication company covering the entire United States. It seems to be silent, but at least it has invested billions of dollars and is making profits. The timing is uncertain. At the same time, competition in this space is fierce, and another individual investor, Craig McCaw, is fighting fiercely.”

"Needless to say, you should have guessed the result of our assessment - the richest man looks very powerful, but it is very difficult for his main base in the United States to come up with large sums of cash to support Xiangjiang."

"It must be pointed out that Fangyuan Computer is not sitting comfortably on the throne of the world's most valuable company. The powerful IBM is one of its main rivals, and it is currently in a fierce battle."

"It seems that Tang Huan is having a bad year, and there are opponents everywhere." Huang Yulang laughed happily, "I have to ask the Financial Times to pay attention to the media in the United States and see how they report the richest man."

Pu Weishi, Li Bancheng, and Guo Henian are not impatient with Huang Yulang's repeated self-presentations in order to enhance his presence.Some things are difficult for decent people like them to do, and they really can't do without Huang Yulang and other clowns.

Even, Pu Weishi hinted: "The mainstream media in the United States still regard Tang Huan as an idol of wealth creation. Just like this year, he conducted a financial model deduction project for the upcoming new Fangyuan supercomputer. The conclusion In essence, it is bearish on the stock market, which is quite nondescript, but most Americans don’t care much about this farce, and instead enjoy talking about how powerful the new Fangyuan supercomputer is.”

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Huang Yulang followed the meaning of the HSBC Taipan and said disdainfully: "How the people at the bottom understand a piece of news is not based on the media's reporting method. Since this matter is neither fish nor fowl, then I can let Tang Huan be in Xiangjiang Stink on top of stink."

Looking at Huang Yulang's impassioned and courageous performance, the expressions of the old guys are very suitable for me.

Pu Weishi clearly affirmed: "Any action that can hit Tang Huan's mythical image of 'the richest man in the United States' in the minds of Hong Kong people will be of great help to this acquisition plan. The reason why Tang Huan was able to break Jardine and Hongkong Land's 'Lianhuanwu' mutual control shareholding structure is largely due to the use of Xiangjiang Local Trust Fund to invest in its high-tech industry in the United States, which has attracted a large number of investors."

"Although we don't have to worry about Qin and a series of support from the United States, Tang Huan still has the strength to confront us for a period of time. The longer the time drags on, the more unfavorable it is to our acquisition plan. At present, through It is an effective method for Xiangjiang media to create more pressure to weaken the strength of Tang Huan and Qinhe. However, Huang Sheng still seems to be a little lonely. It is not as good as whether HSBC can exert some pressure on TVB. Influence."

Although Shao Yifu became the largest individual shareholder in the summer of 1980, he became the owner of TVB as a matter of course, but the real major shareholders at that time were HSBC Bank and Hutchison Co. .Today, as long as HSBC is willing, it can indeed exert influence on the listed TVB.

"In the past few years, the competition between TVB and Media Asia TV has remained at an unbreakable level. Shao Yifu has maintained a close cooperative relationship with Tang Huan in the film field through the Xiangjiang Cinema Group. I'm afraid it will be difficult to sway him." Pu Wei Shi seemed a little hesitant.

"Shao Yifu is a real businessman. In his eyes, profit is the most important thing." Li Bancheng, who had never talked much, spoke.

"Then test Sir Shao's attitude." Guo Henian also expressed his position, "If he refuses to agree, let's beat him by the way."

Seeing that the three bosses seemed to be deciding the fate of TVB in a few words, Huang Yulang was envious, and even more eager for the victory of this capital war, so that he could enjoy the war bonus as soon as possible and climb the board. A new career pinnacle.

Driven by this motivation, after Huang Yulang returned to his "Yulang Empire", he put all his efforts into producing negative news about Tang Huan and Qinhe, paying special attention to collecting relevant media reports from the United States.

Soon, a report of "Fangyuan supercomputer makes frequent mistakes, and the calculation results are bearish on the global stock market is really ridiculous!" The report was freshly released, which can be described as extremely exaggerated, and it really caused a sensation in Xiangjiang.

Complacent about this, Huang Yulang had an idea again, and came up with a brilliant idea, and quietly called his confidant disciple Qi Wenjie to give him some instructions.

That night, the headquarters of the "Financial Times", which has been in the limelight recently, was smashed by a group of unknown people, and a warning was left with red paint.

Huang Yulang, who heard the news, immediately held a press conference and shouted out with righteous indignation, "Some people are really insane. The "Financial Times" only said a few words of the truth, and then they were maliciously retaliated against. What is the justice? What is the law of heaven?"

Public opinion in Xiangjiang was immediately in an uproar. The citizens of Xiangjiang were speculating about who was responsible. Naturally, the Xiangjiang police quickly launched an investigation.

Liu Luanxiong, Pu Weishi, Li Bancheng, Guo Henian, etc., who knew the inside story, gloated and laughed, and repeatedly praised Huang Yulang's "bitter tricks" as a stroke of genius.

The impact of this incident was indeed very bad, and even people from the Qinhe family began to suspect that their side might not be able to break away from the relationship.

In the big conference room, Zhou Mi, who was always flattered, slapped the table angrily in front of everyone, "Is it necessary for us to use such a trick?"

But everyone below looked at each other in blank dismay, revealing their lack of confidence.

At this time, Tang Huan walked in with a relaxed expression, shook the video tape in his hand with a smile, "Everyone, don't forget that this is an era of advanced technology, people are doing it, and surveillance is watching!"

After watching the videotape, the meeting room became a mess, and the elites sweared a lot. It turned out that the screen showed that after the group smashed the glass in a leisurely manner, they moved out of the office with ease. Paint buckets, find a brush, and start graffiti with a laugh.

As long as you think about it casually, you can guess that this is obviously a self-directed farce.

"Let's adjourn the meeting, this matter will be handled by a special person." Tang Huan waved his hand, and when the meeting room became quiet, he smiled wryly and said to Zhou Mi: "I really have to leave Xiangjiang this time, something happened in the United States. "

After reading the documents Tang Huan handed over, Zhou Mi said dumbfounded: "IBM, the former monopoly, wants to play anti-monopoly tricks, and wants to sue Fangyuan, Zheru and EA?"
