The Industrial Giant Reborn.

Chapter 362 Win-Win Cooperation and Establishment of Yanjing Jeep

"If you can acquire some of RCA's other businesses, it will be more convenient, and my financial pressure will be much less." Henry Morgan nodded and said.

From this point of view, the risk of this plan is not very high, and the benefits are large enough to change one's own destiny. It is worth fighting for. Besides, even if you lose, you will lose a little money in the stock market at most. Compared with the benefits, it is nothing.

"It's really too far away. Let's think about the first thing. Henry, after you go back, you have to prepare to do it yourself. In terms of funds, I can support you partly, but not a lot. Large-scale acquisitions need to rely on bank loans all over the world. After you start, we have gained a certain amount of initiative. Then, you will tell your family. Otherwise, I am worried that someone in your family will directly ignore you. At that time, you will simply make wedding dresses for others." Chen Zhiwen reminded Henry Morgan in his family. In China, it can only be said that the status is not low, but there are still many people who are higher than him. There is no conflict of interest in normal times, and the relationship may be okay, but when it comes to an opportunity to acquire the three major TV stations, who would give up?

Even if the family is united, it is also possible that the whole family will leave Henry alone and work alone. Evidence that can stab RCA is everywhere in the groundwater below Taoyuan City, and he does not have exclusive access to it.

"Understood." Henry Morgan nodded.

"Well, you go back to the United States first, and find a way to start buying RCA shares through multiple accounts, but don't go through financial institutions under Morgan's. The current market value of RCA is about 40 billion US dollars. You need to buy about 15% first. This is basically the limit of a secret acquisition, and then contact your family, and then start. I can provide part of the loan in the early stage, but I will completely put myself aside in the later stage. Regardless of this matter, I can only look at you later." Chen Zhiwen said.Of course, the money lent to the other party needs to be repaid, or it can be replaced with other benefits. His main purpose of this acquisition is RCA’s TV sales network all over the United States and decades of technical foundation.

However, in the United States, every 5% of the acquisition of a listed company’s stock must be announced, otherwise it may be declared invalid. Therefore, it will be more secure through multi-account acquisition, but it is actually easy to be caught by the opponent, because once these stocks are finally aggregated, it is a violation. After all, this is not a purely economic investment.

Besides, this acquisition is different from the several outbreaks in the Hong Kong market. Even if RCA is attacked, its stock market value cannot be easily obtained. The best way is to negotiate with the other party and start with a suitable price. The acquisition in advance is just to take the initiative and reduce the cost factor of future acquisitions.

"Understood." Henry Morgan nodded. He also knew that the easiest step above the secret acquisition was the most difficult step to follow up with RCA. Although he would have the help of the family behind him, he must make the decision himself.

"What's more, contact a large number of environmental protection agencies in advance. You don't need to tell them anything. Donate some money first, just get to know them. When you need them, these people can play a very important role." Chen Zhiwen added.

The Western Mother of Environmental Protection can be described as amazing in fighting power. I don’t know how many multinational giants of the world’s top 500 level are played desperately by these people. For example, Tesla of later generations went to Germany to invest and build a factory, but was forced to postpone it for a few months because of the hibernation of some snakes. end.

Of course, there must be traditional auto giants behind this matter. Everyone knows what is going on with the how dare you of these environmentalists?

But this time, it is suspected of polluting a city's water source, and a large amount of carcinogenic heavy metal elements and compounds threaten the lives of hundreds of thousands of people. In this case, as long as there is a financial group behind them, this group of people can block the door of the United Nations.

Of course, only the American consortium can play like this, and Chen Zhiwen will never directly participate.

"Okay, I know what you mean." Henry Morgan smiled, and he also knew that the "environmental protection card" was a sharp weapon in his hand.

"OK, then I'll wait for your good news." Chen Zhiwen nodded. He only wanted to borrow a knife to kill people, but he didn't know how to do it himself. He just wanted to enjoy the final result.As for whether there will be problems, the probability is not high, as long as Henry Morgan can actually acquire RCA. RCA's TV business itself is not optimistic internally. Although it is still profitable, the profit margin is very low, and the market is gradually being swallowed up by Japanese companies.

In this case, even if I go to RCA normally and want to acquire the TV business of the other party, it may be negotiable. However, Wanwan is like a bomb, and it must be detonated before I can start it, otherwise I will be cheated to death in the future.

Moreover, such a crazy company should be punished for doing such things to the places where Chinese people live.Just breaking the news by myself may not be able to compete with the RCA in the United States at all, and may offend the White House of the United States, and even the Gulf government may let it go for economic employment.

If a difficult matter can be successful, it needs to have strong enough allies, and there will be huge benefits after this matter is successful, so everyone will promote this matter for the benefit.

Originally, Chen Zhiwen wanted to give this opportunity to General Electric, so that after the relationship is established, he can also get some good things from General Electric, but now Henry Morgan is cheaper, and it is more beneficial to him. After all, General Electric bought NBC, so it has nothing to do with him. There will not be any major conflicts with myself, because there is no conflict of interest, but there will be more cooperation in the future.

Of course, there is no absolute 100% success in this kind of thing, and there is no 100% success in doing business. As long as the probability is high enough, then just do it.

"Okay, when I make progress, I will be the first to contact you." Henry Morgan's eyes seemed to be different from before. He was considered a successful person before, but he was not at the top, but if he seized this opportunity today, he would be on a higher level, and his eyes were full of hope.

"By the way, let me tell you in advance that if you succeed in acquiring NBC, maybe we also have the opportunity to cooperate in broadcasting content." Chen Zhiwen said.

"What do you mean?" Henry didn't understand.

"American TV stations and content producers can be separated. Perhaps, I will invest in some TV content projects, such as investing in TV dramas, variety shows, etc." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile. As a traveler, he naturally also knows many classic global variety shows in later generations, but before his main business was in the fields of electronics, real estate, and food. Now that these fields can basically produce blood by himself, he can also do other things.

In fact, even if it is a variety show, the profit is actually not as good as that of the electronics industry, but if the variety show is done well, it can influence TV stations around the world. This is a move he needs to protect his own industry.Anyway, he doesn't need to do too much for this kind of thing, just provide some ideas, and then there will naturally be professional people to take over, just like video games.

"You want to be a film and television production company? That's fine, our cooperation will be even better." Henry nodded and asked again: "What program is it?"

"It's too early to say, and there is a high probability that I will test the waters in Hong Kong, and if I succeed, I will push it to the United States." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile. Today's TVB has basically monopolized Hong Kong, and the other Li's is basically just lingering. Unlike the previous history, no one is willing to buy Lai's in the face of a powerful TVB. Maybe there will never be an ATV in Hong Kong's history.

Limited by background development, TVB can basically only develop in Hong Kong and Macau. In other regions, it can be broadcast through satellite signals. There are some achievements at present, but this cannot solve the essential problem. Without licenses from overseas countries, the upper limit of TVB is just like this.

The only way is to output content. This was the case with TVB in history. Now it is natural to go this way, and it will only go further.

"That's fine. Even if I buy NBC, I'm afraid I won't be able to say anything in a short time. With the results in Hong Kong, I'm a little persuasive." Henry said.

"OK." Chen Zhiwen nodded, suddenly thought of something, and said with a smile: "There is one more small thing, my subsidiary Hutchison is planning to invest in ports in Asia, and it needs to."

After listening to Chen Zhiwen's introduction, Henry Morgan said: "I understand what you mean. I can find some port companies in the United States through some friends and let them participate in the investment, but the problem is that these companies may have the same idea as you. If you introduce them, will you attract wolves into the house? In the end, they will let you out alone."

"How about looking for some ordinary investment funds?" Chen Zhiwen asked.

"These big funds will not compete with you for business, and they have great influence, but they are generally conservative. Even if they are willing to invest in ports, they will choose those ports that are already stable and have financial data, rather than new ones that have not been built." Henry Morgan said: "I have an idea. You can list Hutchison in the United States. In this way, you can get a lot of funds, and you can hang the banner of a US listed company, so that no one dares to do anything to you, at least to take into account the face of the US government."

"Go to the US for listing?" Chen Zhiwen frowned. He privatized Hehuang because he knew that the value of a large amount of land owned by Hehuang would double in the next few years. If he privatized first, the income would be higher. Now, the bull market in Hong Kong's local market has passed, and the value of a large amount of Hehuang's land has been used.

"Yes, there are many American investors in companies listed in the United States. If they are treated unfairly, the U.S. government will naturally intervene. Otherwise, it will not only lose face, but also prevent other foreign companies from listing in the United States. Wall Street does not agree to this." Henry Morgan said with a smile.

"I need to think about it, but I may divest part of the business and go public in the United States." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said. Next, Hutchison will mainly invest in domestic infrastructure and foreign ports and mineral deposits. Domestic investment does not require US capital, but for the latter two overseas, if the business is listed in the United States, it will indeed be much more stable.

"That's no problem. Morgan Stanley is good at going public. If you've decided, just let me know. I guarantee that the service will satisfy you." Henry Morgan nodded and said.

Henry Morgan, who originally came here to discuss some trivial matters and brought the holiday mood by the way, immediately checked out of his hotel after being instilled by Chen Zhiwen with a bright future, and returned to the United States by his private jet that night.

Chen Zhiwen continued to stay in Hong Kong. Now all the companies under his company have basically entered normal operation, and have grown up, and there is no shortage of funds. For mature large enterprises, all they need are various high-tech technologies, and Chen Zhiwen can't get involved in this aspect. He only needs to control the large investment in the strategic direction.

For example, Midea, Red Bull, and Hutchison. These three companies have a lot of cash flow. Chen Zhiwen’s control over the general manager originally required his signature or at least a verbal application for more than one million US dollars. Now the figure has become 500 million US dollars.

At the beginning of its establishment, the ICAC was indeed extremely prosperous, but everything will flourish and decline. Even if the Hong Kong Governor authorized it, it could not withstand the resistance of all government departments. In 77, a police parade forced the ICAC to give in. The Hong Kong government also began to restrict the ICAC. This naturally led to a great decline in the prestige of the ICAC.

Taking advantage of the economic crisis in Hong Kong and the suspension of domestic investment during this period, Chen Zhiwen also spent his mind to form a certain balance within the entire company, which made him much more relaxed.

As time goes by, it will soon be November.

Good news came from Henry Morgan in the United States. He contacted several RCA shareholders through an investment bank in Canada and reached an agreement at an "appropriate" price. However, the shares were not traded directly, but a deposit and liquidated damages were paid in advance, and a total of 8.7% of the shares were locked up.At the same time, Henry was also making acquisitions in the stock market, that is to say, within a month, he owned 5% of the stocks. This speed was beyond Chen Zhiwen's expectation.

If this progress is followed, then by the beginning of next year, they can start with RCA.

Other things are naturally going on as normal. Henry Morgan spent millions of dollars in a row and got acquainted with more than a dozen "extreme" environmental protection organizations. In the case of throwing money, these environmental protection organizations like this "big local tyrant" who is stupid and rich.

Chen Zhiwen was greatly surprised by Henry Morgan's success, and so was the other piece of news.

After a year of negotiations, AMC and China officially reached a cooperation agreement. The two parties invested a total of 1.8 million US dollars to establish a joint venture automobile factory in Yanjing City. This is the first joint venture automobile factory in the history of the mainland.

This amount far exceeds the original investment of AMC in history. That is because the current investment is not only an assembly plant, but also the four major automobiles with complete processes, including stamping, painting, and welding.

However, the investment is too large, and Yanjing can’t afford the corresponding assets worth 9000 million US dollars. After all, the entire Yanjing City’s fiscal revenue last year was only 50 billion yuan, and it was still in deficit. The big Yanjing City has too many places to spend money. Therefore, after negotiation between the two parties, Yanjing City increased the land area of ​​the joint venture factory to use it as a large parking lot and a test site.

At the same time, near the Yanjing Automobile Factory, Yanjing City specially approved a piece of land with an area of ​​about 20 square meters for Hutchison to build hotels and office buildings to facilitate the reception of the automobile industry zone.

Such a cooperation, of course, needs to be signed at the Great Hall of the People. Chen Zhiwen also made a special trip to Yanjing to complete the signing ceremony with the First Ministry of Machinery under the filming of the news broadcast.

Since then, Yanjing Jeep was formally established.AMC of the United States has already prepared 500 sets of various parts and components. As long as the domestic assembly plant is built first, they can be shipped. Jeep, an excellent passable car, was ordered by the domestic, military, and government in the first place.

On the other hand, after the establishment of Yanjing Jeep, the research and development of Wuling Shenhua also officially started. However, the direction has already been set, and Chen Zhiwen doesn't need to ask. He will come and see it when the future prototype is ready.
