America’s Big Hero

The reason why he hurried to find old man David was because Sean had no choice but to have no money!

...

five days ago!

"Crack" a stack of ledgers was thrown in front of Xiao En, and Shen Bi said loudly, "Give me the money!"

"1.3 billion!" Sean's forehead was twitching with veins, and he shouted with a hideous face: "U.S. dollars!"

"Even if the goddamn power generation is burned, it can't burn so fast!"

"It was just transferred from the Moroccan government!"

"It's definitely not going to burn so fast." Shen Bi looked indifferent, and his emotions were not affected at all. He tilted his head and looked at Sean and said, "Sean, you should never underestimate yourself. You spend money faster than you burn it." Much sooner!"

"No, where's the money? Where's the money?" Sean yelled, his little tongue trembling.

"The hole is blocked!" Shen Bi spread his hands, "Last time I told you that you must clean up the 1.3 billion within a week, because accidents will happen if the hole is not blocked."

"You're doing great, but now you're out of money?"

"Then it's fucking 1.3 billion, how did you spend it!" Sean's mind was buzzing, although he didn't suspect that Shen Bi cheated him of the money.

The old man didn't have the guts to kill his whole family!

But the problem is, the money is also spent too fast.

"Let me ask you, how much will it cost to expand a purely entertainment limited TV channel and cover the entire United States? You didn't know how much you spent when you bought New Century."

"Yes, now there are branches in various places, a business site, and a complete management framework. Don't you need to expand your enrollment?"

"Don't you need a studio?"

"Don't you need camera equipment?"

"Don't you need a large number of co-actors, don't you need a director, director, photography, lighting, etc. shooting team? Don't you need a management team? Don't you need to dig some celebrities? Don't you need liquidated damages? Don't you need a signing fee? ? Don’t you need to buy a lot of TV program copyrights? Open one more channel, don’t you need to pay the cable TV service provider? Don’t you need to promote those users, will you be willing to pay you?”

"You can start a TV station just by touching your lower lip with your upper lip?"

"It's not one you're asking for, it's three fucking, three!"

"The 24-hour news station, the entertainment station, and the sports station. The requirements are not coming slowly, but the three stations are promoting together. Now the entire New Century Media is going crazy!"

"You treat yourself as an entrepreneur, you don't need to pay overtime!"

"And the crazy expansion of your credit card business, which Hollywood companies will add a scene for you in the movie, don't you need to spend money?"

"Before you didn't have enough money, the bank used deposits to support you. You know, it's this hole that made you plug up!"

"I have so many properties, so I don't make any money?" Sean held his head, almost wailing in pain.

"It's a lot to make money, but didn't you ask to expand the scope of business, so you can't reinvest?" Shen Bi spread his hands, "You want to operate a port. The port is not just a wharf and a plank road. Containers are stacked. Warehouses, in-port logistics, warehousing construction, equipment update, regular maintenance, the better the port business, the more these things need to be expanded.”

"There are still new ports to invest in. Although we don't invest in all ports in all places, the main waterway in a region must participate in the investment."

"Then there is the shipping industry. You always have to buy ships. The larger the cargo ships, the more complicated the classification. Bulk carriers, container carriers, grain carriers, oil tankers, natural gas carriers, ore carriers, all kinds, big or small Buying second-hand, or new, is money."

"Okay, okay..." Sean raised his hands in surrender, rubbing the center of his brows with pain on his face, and said weakly, "How much more?"

"There are many sports channels. The most important thing is to sign a broadcast agreement with the four major sports leagues in North America. At the very least, the contract will last for five years. Even if you pay separately every year, the cost of the four companies will not be low."

"There is also the umbrella. Now that the preparations for the reorganization of the security company have almost been completed, the official work can begin. Douglas Meek and the others have done a good job. They have recruited a lot of people from DSS, and the recruitment of security personnel can officially start. And the training worked!"

"The federal government, state governments, and DSS have a lot of jobs. I didn't realize that the market is so big, and the lack of security human resources is so huge. According to Douglas Meek and the others, it was only during this period that they received Business intentions require more than 10,000 security manpower, and recruitment also costs money!"

"How come there are so many!" Sean was taken aback. He told Bill that Umbrella would develop into a large company with more than 100,000 employees. Although he estimated that there would be more people, it would be decades later.

"No more, no less." Shen Bi said with a serious expression: "The United States has established diplomatic relations with most countries in the world, and there are embassies when diplomatic relations are established. Few countries are really safe, and embassies are all facing serious threats. Regarding security issues, even if there is no attack, there will be a lot of secret spying in various intelligence aspects."

"In many countries, there are consulates in addition to embassies. The total number exceeds 600. There are three shifts plus holidays. Even if each shift only needs three security personnel, the total number will exceed 10,000."

"This has to be the case that when the personnel stationed abroad do not go out, they also need security personnel when they go out. If the public security environment is not good or in war-torn areas, more people are needed."

"Even if there are a large number of security personnel in the first place, the gap in diplomacy alone exceeds 20,000 people!"

"There are still so many foreign visits and business activities..." Shen Bi spread his hands, "If you don't develop the market, you will never know how huge it is. Although the money will be paid after the order is signed, the early recruitment, training, You still have to invest in clothing, equipment, weapons, insurance, transportation, etc.”

"Once we have achieved something in the US market, do we need to open up the markets of many other countries? Not all countries have so many soldiers, and most countries even make up the number of soldiers, not to mention professional security personnel."

"You said it very well, don't say it again next time!" Sean was both delighted and annoyed.

The joy is that the company's development prospects are extremely broad, and the security work of the local tyrants in the Middle East can make a lot of money.

What's annoying is the upfront investment, it's too fucking expensive, and this is only for the government's security business, not counting commercial and military ones.

What about outside of North America?

The business is there, and now is a period of brutal development of the industry. Whether it can become an industry giant depends on the present.

When the industry enters a period of stable development, it's like a solidified class, and it's almost impossible to get ahead!

Sean will not grab, South African EO, British Armor Group, G4S, SI, and American MPRI will not let it go.

(PS: G4S, the world's largest security company, was responsible for Soleimani's murder last year)

Q: What in this world can perfectly inherit?

Answer: The poor!

What are the eight generations of poor peasants!

So, for Sean, no matter what, even if it's a waste of money, he has to rush.

"The money will be in place soon." Sean said listlessly.

There was a smile on the corner of Shen Bi's mouth, he just liked to see Xiao En like this, in fact, even if he didn't have it for the time being, he could still use it from the bank deposit.

How can there be a bank that doesn't use cuen money, basic operations, he returns it every time, it's not like someone... said no, he didn't, ahem, let's change the subject, "How much money is there?"

"I just hacked at Kadazo's, and made 870 million yuan there, but part of it was made for civilian products. I will keep the profits in Africa. The textile industry, infrastructure construction industry, and fertilizer industry in Morocco cannot always rely on empty space." The glove white wolf is not, it needs some funds, and only 750 million can be brought back to the United States, and protection fees must be paid to the IRS.”

"About 487 million." Sean said, and suddenly gritted his teeth, "Damn it, the IRS is too dark!"

Shen Bi shrugged, "Okay, without the federal government's endorsement, can you do this business? Don't take advantage of it and act like a good boy!"

Sean opened his mouth, forget it, forget it, don't care about it.

Why can Sean be so arrogant and unscrupulous?

That's because he is a major taxpayer of the Federation!

Other large companies and large enterprises try to avoid taxation, but many of Sean's businesses pay taxes in full because of their...speciality.

This year alone, the tax payment is about 5 billion US dollars. How many departments of the federal government are eating the rice of Sean, why can't they be arrogant!

"However, I can't give you both the 487 million." Xiao En tilted his head and looked at Shen Bi.

"Huh?" Shen Bi made an inexplicable voice from his nose, "What are you going to do again?"

"No, um, more than a year ago, um, maybe earlier I saw the New York Knicks, you know, I really like watching those muscle sticks collide on the court, I want to buy it from Dolan's father Lower Knicks, ideally Madison Square Garden, ideally plus surrounding land."

As he said that, Sean showed a hint of longing. Years ago, he just set up an NBA club on the computer and in novels. Now that he has the opportunity, of course he must realize his dream, otherwise what would he do to make money!

"Oh, by the way, Madison Square Garden is not only the home of the Knicks, but also the New York Rangers. Well, one sheep is also chased, and a group of sheep is also herded."

"Sports channels are available, NBA accidents, ice hockey, football, and baseball can actually be played. What do you think of the New York Yankees?" Sean tilted his head and looked at Shen Bi.

"Oh, by the way, there's also Nike, it's been a long time since they're not pleasing to the eye!"

"What are they? Since they are engaged in textiles, let's go back and study it and kill Nike!" The more he said, the more excited Sean became, his face gradually became flushed, and he didn't notice that Shen Bi stood up slowly and was condescending. He looked at Sean with disdain.

"Also, and, what the hell, these cable TV service providers are too dark, I don't know if the TV stations are making money or not, but they are making money without losing money, damn it!"

"Buy them, and let that old guy Murdoch pay rent for himself!"

Thinking of that scene, Sean couldn't help laughing out loud.

"I shouldn't have any hope for you!" Shen Bi spat heavily, "You deserve to be so poor!"

After finishing speaking, Shen Bi shook his hand, turned around and left.

"Hey, hello, hello, what's your attitude!" Seeing Shen Bi's back, Sean shouted loudly.

"I want to buy everything, and sooner or later I'll make you bankrupt!" Shen Bi turned his head and said mockingly.

"Chelsea, what do you think of acquiring London's Chelsea and forming a football club according to your own wishes!" Sean's eyes were full of mystery, and his voice faintly reached Shen Bi's ears.

Shen Bi's figure froze in place with a 'Ga', as if he had been cast in a body-holding technique.

Then I saw Shen Bi stepping on a moonwalk, stepping backwards in front of Sean, raised his head, grinned, with a big smile on his face, "Acquisition of Chelsea, Arsenal, Arsenal, long live Arsenal!"

As an Englishman, Shen Bi is a fan of course. As a World War II veteran, it is understandable that Shen Bi is a diehard Arsenal fan.

If he could buy his beloved Arsenal and personally support Arsenal to stand at the top of the UK and the world, that would really be... Shen Bi is already intoxicated.

Fans, for the sake of the club, don't be shabby!

"No, no, you can't have any hope in me, I deserve to die of poverty!" Sean curled his mouth, arrogant!

"How is it possible, you are Sean, the youngest rich man in America and the world!" Shen Bi laughed.

"Sooner or later, I'm going to bankrupt myself!" Sean curled his lips in reverse, he absolutely couldn't laugh!

"Impossible, self-made, a child of miracles, a man favored by God, how could he go bankrupt!" Shen Bi looked determined.

"Ah, bah, disgusting!" Sean spat hard, and couldn't hold back his puff, hey, hey, haha, quack quack...

Damn it, old clapper, let me catch your weakness.

Seeing Xiao En's complacent look, Shen Bi looked helpless, there was no way, who let Xiao En poke his G-spot.

Fans will never be slaves, unless the club is bought!

With Xiao En being taken advantage of, Shen Bi has already seen that he spends money on the best players in the world, and makes Arsenal go to the top!

I want to hit the moon!

After regaining his face, Xiao En was in a good mood, teased Shen Bi for a few words, and then asked with a puzzled face: "Oh, you said, I can make money so much, how can I still have no money? I can't do it. Ke that old guy is more profitable than me, how can he keep having money to expand the company?"

"Can that be the same?" Shen Bi said with a smile: "All over the United States, no, the whole world, look at who is like you, holding all the industries in your hands, and you are taking all the gaps in corporate development funds." Of course there will be a shortage of funds.”

"Murdoch owns less than 20% of 20th Century Fox."

Taking New Century Media as an example, although Sean was the largest shareholder at the beginning, he controlled less than half of the shares. Later, when the company expanded several times, when other shareholders had insufficient funds, Sean naturally used funds to dilute other shareholders. people's shares.

If all three new channels are launched, Sean will own up to 85% of the company's shares.

Of course, other people are not losing money, and the company's market value has skyrocketed. Although there are fewer shares, they are more valuable.

"So little? Then how does he control Fox?" Sean looked surprised. He always thought that the old man Murdoch was the major shareholder and firmly controlled News Corporation.

"Of course other people hold fewer shares, and his shares have higher voting rights. You don't think that only the absolute major shareholder can effectively control the company." Shen Bi looked at Sean with a funny face, "Crazy !"

"The more the world's top company, the more dispersed the equity, 5-10% is generally the major shareholder, with more than 30 shareholding institutions or individuals, so as to form a larger community of interests and stronger ability to resist risks. Things help more!"

"You want to say that my way of controlling is unhealthy?" Xiao En tilted his head and looked at Shen Bi with a frown.

Shen Bi nodded, then shook his head, making Xiao En confused.

"Now is a period of rapid development. You are relatively young, in the prime of life, and you have the Rockefeller family behind you. There is no problem with this operation, but when you get older and your descendants start to take over, this kind of equity structure will be unhealthy. One is not suitable. The heirs of the company will directly collapse the company."

Shen Bi said with a serious face: "There are different management methods in different periods, but at present, it seems that the ultimate method is the situation of consortia, such as the Rockefeller consortium and the Morgan consortium."

"Tell me about this consortium!" Xiao En pulled Shen Bi back and pressed him on the sofa, listening to the class seriously.

"It's very complicated. It's not clear in a few words."

"Then simply put it bluntly." Sean raised his eyebrows.

"Okay." Shen Bi tilted his head and said after thinking for a while, "For example, Apple. Jobs founded Apple in 1971, went public in 1980, and was kicked out in 1985 and sold his shares."

"Apple is considered a relatively successful large company. It created miracles when it went public. I know that you are quietly acquiring the stocks you are evaluating, but do you know their shareholding structure?"

Sean shook his head.

"Apple's current shareholding is extremely dispersed, and the largest shareholder holds less than 15% of the shares. According to this trend, it will become more dispersed in the future. Those who hold more than 5% of the shares are the major shareholders."

"Ah!?" Sean was shocked, really shocked.

The same is true of the facts. By 2017, the top 20 shareholders of Apple held only 35.03% of the shares, and only 10 held more than 1% of the shares.

"A large consortium will not invest a large amount of funds in a company and occupy too many shares. Once this company has problems, the risk is too great. They will disperse their investments in dozens or even hundreds of different companies in different industries. The proportion generally does not exceed 5%, in order to achieve the purpose of risk diversification.”

"And the benefits of diversification of investment are also obvious. When you find a problem, you can sell your shares at any time without disclosing it in advance. It is convenient to manipulate the stock price, and you can make a profit without losing money."

"Then how can I guarantee my control over the company?" Sean frowned, "5% is nothing to me, dare to f*ckingly manipulate Lao Tzu's stock price, I will make him look good!"

"You think everyone is as barbaric as you!" As he said that, Shen Bi showed a sneer, "Morgan manipulated your stocks and made some money, turn around and let me see."

"I..." Sean blushed and snorted heavily, "What the hell, I smashed the glass of their house, beat their children, beat their employees!!"

Shen Bi sneered for a while, that's all he could do.

Sean is also helpless, otherwise, he would really be able to kill and set fire for this matter.

"It's actually very simple. In the process of growing a company from small to large, it has to go through many ups and downs and many years of financing and mergers." Shen Bi said in a low voice: "The manager thinks that everything is under his control, but in fact Many roads are arranged by people."

"Each financing will disperse equity, and new shareholders will join in. The same thing will happen in every merger. Slowly, over time, the company's equity will be very dispersed, and holding 5% is already a big shareholder."

"What's more, the consortium will exert its influence during this process, so that many small shareholders will completely follow their lead, and can completely rely on a relatively low shareholding ratio to complete the actual control of the company."

"Besides, it's all for better management of the company and to make money. Why do other shareholders deliberately sing against the tune and make trouble with money?"

"Running a company is not engaging in politics, opposing for the sake of opposing!"

Well, Sean nodded in agreement. This kind of operation can be done without the need for large consortiums like Rockefeller, Morgan, and Boston, even the New Jersey consortium with its intricate network of relationships and influence and tentacles in all walks of life.

In his own industry, in addition to the umbrella, the New Jersey consortium has shares, although not many...

Think carefully!

"Besides, I'm giving you a favor. I used to do this kind of thing when I was at HSBC." A sinister smile hung on the corner of Shen Bi's mouth, "HSBC holds 4% of a certain company's shares. In HK, our The source of information is not comparable to that of ordinary people, even many large companies."

"For example, if there is a problem with the operating conditions of a certain company, such as a shortage of working capital, such as a decline in profits, through the changes in the bank accounts of upstream and downstream companies, HSBC must be the first to know, including the companies we hold shares. We don't know them. "

"HSBC can disperse and sell shares in advance when risks come, and then release news through other channels to stimulate the stock price to fall, pass the losses on to retail investors, release risks in advance, and then re-absorb them, keeping the proportion of shares held in a certain company unchanged. Change."

"I'm a mud horse, I'm a mud horse!" Xiao En jumped up from the sofa, pointed at Shen Bi with a livid face, and immediately started cursing when he got excited.

No wonder when I traded in stocks in my previous life, the stock price fell wildly every time before the financial report was released. For no reason, after the financial report was released, there was no movement.

Every time the stock price falls, bad news comes out!

The co-authors are so harvested by you sons of bitches!

"How can this be called transferring the losses to retail investors to complete the harvest? Our information channels have also been built with a huge amount of money and a lot of manpower, and they didn't come out of thin air. The business of the organization is not called harvesting!" Shen Bi said in a serious manner. It was a series of incomprehensible words, such as property data display, market assessment, risk warning, and the study room was full of violent air.

"Okay, stop talking, you guys don't have any good things!" Sean slapped the table heavily, "I want to start a consortium and invest!"

"Ah!"
