Siheyuan: Pioneer in anti-corruption, fighting against evil!

He Yuzhu ignored their opinions and continued, “You may not understand the current automotive industry, but the important thing is the automotive modification.

Modification is very popular nowadays, and the script is rich in racing elements, including beautiful car appearance, cool modifications, and even the excitement in racing competitions are all selling points.

“In addition, there are elements such as family, love, and friendship. It seems that there is a lot of content, but it actually focuses on the core theme.

Advertising placement is also a highlight, especially car advertising, which can bring in revenue, is relatively easy to recover costs, and has a huge audience base.

He Yuzhu's analysis gave everyone a new understanding of the script.

Then he emphasized: "More importantly, this script is expandable and can be filmed as a series, with the first three films being one per year.

After a pause, the next three films will be shot.

The main plot revolves around the protagonist's family, and each film will replace cooler car models. This will be a car-themed team that can travel around the world, solve various problems, and maintain the core of the story.

“Other characters can be added to enrich the plot.

Someone asked, were three films confirmed from the beginning? Of course, I am optimistic about this series, and considering the actors' salaries, it is more economical to sign contracts for multiple films at one time.

You know, the shooting of "Fast and Furious" wasn't going smoothly, so we'd better get it done in one go.

“Remember, you need to sign a contract for at least six films to ensure the stability of production.

As for the script, we will find a professional screenwriter team to continue the creation.

Just like the 007 series, there must be continuity. Please show it to me when it is completed.

"After He Yuzhu finished speaking, everyone responded: "Okay, boss!"

Then, He Yuzhu announced: “Okay, now let’s look at another series.

"Saw".

I have found director James Wan and hope to release it on Halloween, and then one horror movie every year.

Everyone browsed the script and were surprised by the twist in the ending. This kind of niche R ** requires little investment and is relatively simple to produce.

Therefore, they did not raise any objections, and He Yuzhu did not need to explain too much.

“This year, the timeline is tight, with one series released each for Halloween and Christmas, which is your main task at the moment.

"Saw" will be produced first and aim to be released on Halloween, while "Fast and Furious" will challenge its global release on Christmas Day. These all need to be arranged as soon as possible.

After He Yuzhu finished speaking, the CEO said, “Boss, the company’s creditors and representatives hope to meet with you tomorrow morning.

He Yuzhu nodded in agreement: "Okay, let them come, all of them.

The meeting is adjourned. Everyone take the script. We need to have a small meeting.

The shooting plans for the two scripts first need to finalize the producers. One of them already has a director, so the role of the other director also needs to be confirmed as soon as possible.

The preparations for "Saw" were relatively smooth, but "Fast and Furious" was much more complicated because it involved negotiations with producers, directors, sponsors and actors, and the time was tight.

This is the first project that the boss is personally supervising. If the performance is not good, their positions may be in jeopardy.

He Yuzhu's team did not follow the trend, but took over the work of the finance and human resources departments.

This is a right and a necessary responsibility as a boss.

Then, the law firm and accounting firm that cooperated with He Yuzhu also came, and they will be responsible for all of He Yuzhu's legal and financial affairs in **.

The next day, all the debtors gathered at the Lion Films headquarters. The core issue they were concerned about was financial issues, and a meeting with the new boss was essential.

He Yuzhu greeted them in the conference room. There were a large number of people, including individual creditors and representatives of banks and financial institutions.

“Hi everyone, I understand what you are here for.

Now I want to ask, is there anyone who urgently needs me to repay a debt now?" He Yuzhu hit the nail on the head.

“Mr. He, it would be great for us if you could repay the loan as soon as possible.

“ Expectations were expressed immediately.

“Okay, those who need to repay please go to the finance department, and my lawyer and accountant will contact you.

"He Yuzhu stretched out his hand, signaling them to take action.

Many people got up and left, mostly individuals or institutions, while people from the bank stayed.

Sure enough, bankers seemed more calm.

He Yuzhu waited for a while, and seeing that no one left the table, he asked, "Does anyone have any questions?"

"Mr. He, do you have any plans to adjust the company?" asked a bank representative.

“At the moment, no, at least in the short term, there will be no adjustments to personnel changes.

" He Yuzhu made it clear: "All employees remain in the status quo.

One of the bank representatives asked, “Can we leave now?”

“Of course, anytime.

He Yuzhu replied with a smile.

A few more people stood up and left, and there were only a few bank representatives left.

At this time, someone asked: "Does the company have any plans to re-list in the near future?"

“Not yet, and we won’t even consider it in the next few years.

" He Yuzhu responded.

As a result, more people stood up and left, leaving only representatives from two banks.

He Yuzhu estimated that he owed the two companies a total of about 5 billion US dollars.

It would appear that approximately $1.5 billion of debt could be repaid today.

Looking at the remaining two, He Yuzhu asked, "Don't you plan to take the money back?"

“Mr. Ho has strong financial resources. While negotiating with MGM for the acquisition, he is also negotiating with Ford for the acquisition of Volvo Cars. We are confident in your financial situation.

” One of them laughed.

He Yuzhu suddenly realized that they were not optimistic about him, but were clear about his own strength.

He also laughed: "So what are you two here for?"

“We just want to know if Mr He needs a loan.

We can provide high amount loans with favorable interest rates.

"The other person explained his purpose.

“Thank you for your kindness, but I don’t need a loan and I am not short of funds.

" He Yuzhu declined.

“If Mr. He has listing needs in the future, please contact us.

“ As bank representatives, they naturally want long-term cooperation.

The bank always appears at the right time, lending an umbrella when it is sunny and collecting it when it rains. Now He Yuzhu is not short of money, and his investment strategy is not just to seek appreciation, so the cash reserves he has on hand are quite sufficient.

Therefore, he would not keep borrowing money to expand the market like a businessman. He Yuzhu did not take this approach.

He made a fortune during the last Internet bubble, and combined with previous dividend income, he had enough confidence to carry out ** acquisitions.

Since the two banks have in-depth cooperation with Goldman Sachs, they followed up after learning the relevant news.

But they are not trying to recover the loan, because there is no interest in recovering the loan now, and the other party's legal team is not a pushover.

The interest generated by a huge loan every year is quite considerable. This is a high-quality loan, and the other party certainly has the right to repay it in advance, but he still needs to pay interest.

He Yuzhu was not unreasonable. Since the other party did not require him to repay the loan in advance, he should still pay the interest, and Lion Pictures could repay the loan slowly in the future relying on its own profitability.

The three were secretly shocked when they heard this, and they did not leave with peace of mind until someone informed them that He Yuzhu had resolved the repayment issue and the funds would be transferred out in batches.

After the negotiations with Ford ended, He Yuzhu bought Volvo Cars for US$880 billion, including its technology, factories, R&D centers and other assets.

Ford finally agreed to sell mainly because He Yuzhu paid in full cash. Usually it is difficult to get all the cash for large acquisitions, and most of the acquisitions are equivalent assets in the form of equity.

For Ford, this cash was extremely attractive, so the deal was made and He Yuzhu's name once again attracted global attention.

This Oriental man made such a large-scale series of acquisitions, and the film company directly repaid 150 billion US dollars, demonstrating his amazing financial strength.

His name also caused a sensation in the country. Naturally, foreign correspondents would not miss this news and quickly sent the report back to the country.

This makes the Chinese people very excited. Have our companies started to go abroad and acquire foreign companies?

Chairman of Baiwei Group?

That's no problem. Chinese people are well aware of the strength of Baiwei Group. They originally focused on the food industry, but now they have acquired film and automobile companies?

Ordinary people may just watch the fun, but some domestic automobile companies can't sit still. He Yuzhu actually acquired Volvo, a technological powerhouse and a Swedish luxury brand.

Just three days after completing the acquisition, He Yuzhu received a call from home.

Wen Li complained, “You ran away to a foreign country, and now even your home has been visited.

All the car companies came to seek cooperation, and He Yuzhu already had a plan in mind: to cooperate with Geely.

What is Geely’s market value now?

He plans to use Volvo as an investment in exchange for Geely's shares. Isn't this a win-win situation?

He was not very good at technology, so he said, “I understand. Give me Geely’s contact information, and next time someone comes, tell them that I already have a partner.

"Geely?" Wen Li was stunned. She knew almost nothing about this brand and had never even heard of it.

"That's right!" He Yuzhu confirmed, "I plan to use Volvo Cars as shares to cooperate with them.

"Okay, I'll go look for it!" Wen Li quickly found the phone number of Geely's boss from the pile of business cards.

After writing down the number, He Yuzhu prepared to contact immediately. After all, he was not familiar with the automotive industry and hoped to join hands with Geely as soon as possible and let Geely take over Volvo's affairs.

As for personnel and finance, his people can take over directly, and with the assistance of law firms and accounting firms, these are not a problem.

"Mr. He?" Boss Li received a call from abroad happily. He recognized it was He Yuzhu's number at a glance and was full of anticipation.

"Hello, Mr. Li!" He Yuzhu laughed heartily, "You guys are really fast!"

"Of course, Volvo is a well-known automobile company. Now that it is owned by Mr. He, it is great news for my country's automobile industry.

"Boss Li got straight to the point: "Mr. He, are you willing to cooperate with Geely?"

“Yes, I am not familiar with cars, but I understand the profit potential of this industry, so I want to find a partner.

I value Geely and am willing to support it by holding shares.

"He Yuzhu stated his intention directly, "I wonder how many shares Mr. Li can sell?"

He Yuzhu mentioned that he did not know much about cars and that his investment was only to make money, indicating that he had no intention of interfering with daily operations.

Boss Li pondered for a moment. The acquisition price of Volvo was 880 billion US dollars, but Geely’s current value is far from this figure.

"How about converting it by market value?" Boss Li said generously, "But when Mr. He sells his shares in the future, he must sell them to me first!"

"no problem.

"He Yuzhu responded," My core business is still the food industry, which is an area I am familiar with.

I can entrust you with the decision-making power of the board of directors and I fully support you.

"Thank you so much.

" Boss Li breathed a sigh of relief. With He Yuzhu's support, he could take full control of the company.

“I want technology to be shared and Volvo to remain a luxury brand.

“Yes, this will help us enter the European market, where you are more professional.

" He Yuzhu agreed, "Let's arrange the personnel and financial handover now, and we will start negotiations as soon as possible.

“Please prepare the team and take over Volvo immediately after signing the contract.

He Yuzhu sent Jiang Weimin back to China to be responsible for the negotiations and evaluation with Geely.

He himself stayed in **.

At this time, Han Chunming had already started negotiations with Marvel, and the progress was smooth because He Yuzhu had just acquired an established film company.

The purpose of acquiring Marvel is to adapt its comics into movies, which is a major opportunity for Marvel.

Today, Marvel mainly relies on selling hero copyrights to make a living. He Yuzhu's acquisition has brought them a way out, although the price issue has become the focus of negotiations.

Marvel is heavily in debt, and the copyrights of many first-line heroes have been sold. He Yuzhu needs to keep buying back the copyrights, which is very costly.

During the negotiation process, due to Marvel's difficulties and the boss's desire to sell quickly as a pure capitalist, the negotiations went smoothly and the acquisition was finally completed for US$285 billion, including all debts.

Han Chunming benefited a lot from it, and He Wenjia also provided a lot of strategies.

He Yuzhu immediately delisted Marvel and merged it into Lion Films.

Marvel doesn't just have comics, it also has a distribution company and a toy business.

After the individual acquisitions failed, these companies were retained because the hero copyrights were difficult to sell.

Therefore, He Yuzhu once again became a highly-watched figure in North America.

An Oriental man came to North America and spent nearly 200 billion yuan to launch a large-scale acquisition.

It's understandable that he would buy movie and comic book companies, but why would he buy a car manufacturer?

Later, news came from China that Geely and Volvo had started negotiations, and the latter would inject all its assets into Geely. This would not be a simple joint venture, but a comprehensive merger, covering all resources such as factories and technology, all of which would be under Geely's control.

As a result, Volvo transformed directly from an overseas brand to a domestic brand.

Although it currently has no production facilities in the country, Geely immediately announced that Volvo Cars will become its luxury brand and plans to establish a production line in the country.

The impact of a series of blockbuster news made He Yuzhu famous. Although he himself did not appear in public, the focus of public opinion always revolved around him.

The move to acquire well-known brands on a large scale abroad undoubtedly boosted morale at that time.
