My 1999

Xu Liang pondered for a moment.

"I have no objection to the integration of Seibu Hotel Group in general. There are only two points.

First, the name of 'Smart Prince Hotel' is too difficult to pronounce, so it will be changed to 'Princess Hotel' in the future.

Second, reduce the scale of hotel properties.

In Japan, except for Tokyo, Osaka, Yokohama, and Nagoya, all business hotel properties in other cities will be sold, and the properties will be mainly leased.

In China, except for first- and second-tier cities, the properties of other cities are mainly leased.

In countries around the world, except for capitals and major economic cities, other hotel properties are mainly leased.

The money from the sale of properties will be used as development funds for 'Seibu Hotel Group'."

The future of the global hotel industry will gradually transform into 'light assets'.

Xu Liang's decision can be regarded as in line with the situation.

"Okay."

Akiyama Yan quickly agreed.

"Also, many Prince Hotels were built in the 1970s. After 30 years, many pipelines have aged and are in urgent need of renovation.

When you go back, make a list and submit it to arrange a renovation plan.

If it is not worth renovating, just demolish it and build a new one."

"The two amusement parks, Seibu Garden and Toshima Garden, are huge in size and have a long history. You need to seek opinions from many parties for the specific new construction plan. I will give you one year to make a plan.

After one year, I want to get two detailed reconstruction plans."

"Hi."

After waving his hand to signal him to sit down.

Xu Liang looked around at everyone.

"After selling Sogo Seibu Department Store, the total revenue of the entire Seibu Group in the two quarters was 713.9 billion yen (35.7 billion Chinese yuan, 5.1 billion US dollars).

The net profit of the main industry was 122.8 billion yen.

Total liabilities were 24 billion US dollars."

After selling Sogo Seibu Department Store, the debt was reduced by 3 billion US dollars.

"The group's investment account had a floating profit of 7.2 billion US dollars."

As soon as this was said, except for the group's chief financial officer Zhong Tao, everyone else changed color.

Many people even exclaimed.

Bai Shanjin, who is impatient and relatively young, couldn't help asking.

"Chairman, when did the group have so much money in its account?"

If the company still had more than 7 billion US dollars, Seibu Group would not be on the verge of bankruptcy.

"I believe this is also a question for all of you.

Let me briefly explain.

After I acquired Seibu Group at the beginning of this year, I set up a financial investment account in the group.

Use this money to invest in the US subprime debt market.

However, this money is not long, but short.

Now the US real estate market, especially the subprime debt market, continues to explode, and the group has also made a lot of money."

The reason why Xu Liang exposed the floating profit of the financial account is to give everyone confidence.

Otherwise, the debt scale of 24 billion US dollars is still too large for the entire Seibu Group.

With this cash flow of more than 7 billion US dollars, the debt pressure of the group can be greatly reduced.

Judging from the attitude of everyone on the scene, his goal has been achieved.

"As for this money, when it is received, it will be used to repay the high-interest bank loan first. The rest will remain in the account. I will continue to operate in the financial market to ensure that the money continues to appreciate."

After slowly sweeping his eyes over the people who were obviously more confident in their eyes.

"Everyone, what I want to tell you is that you should not care too much about the group's debt. I promise you that the company's finances will be healthier.

All you need to do is run the company well.

I want to see a good company with good operations and growing performance!

In the next few years, I am looking forward to your performance."

After the meeting, Xu Liang had dinner with the senior management of Seibu Group.

In the next few days, he conducted research and team building among various subsidiaries.

I was busy until mid-August.

All the profits of the "Gonggong Plan" in Japan have also arrived, which is a little more than he expected before, about 7.5 billion US dollars.

It should be emphasized that Japan is not like the United States. There is no concept of short-term capital gains tax. Capital gains tax does not distinguish between short-term and long-term holdings.

The capital gains tax rate in Japan is unified at 20.315%, including income tax (15%), special income tax for reconstruction (0.315%) and resident tax (5%).

Xu Liang certainly didn't want to pay taxes.

So he took out all the money to repay the group's debts.

The reason why he said that within the company was just to give confidence to the management.

After this, the debt of Seibu Group was directly reduced from 24 billion US dollars to 16.5 billion US dollars.

Compared with the initial 27 billion US dollars, including interest, the huge debt of up to 32 billion US dollars was reduced by half.

The debt ratio of Seibu Group was directly reduced from more than 60% at the beginning to 35% now (calculating virtual assets such as goodwill).

In the future, Xu Liang does not plan to use the money earned from the stock market to repay debts.

After all, the corporate income tax in Japan is as high as 30%, and the capital gains tax is only 20%. It is obvious which one is higher.

After there is no high-interest debt pressure and the debt ratio has returned to the safety line, it is more affordable to use corporate income to repay debts.

After dealing with the matter in Japan, Xu Liang took the Kunpeng private jet to Silicon Valley again.

When he got off the plane, Xu Liang saw Helen Montes not far away, who was wearing a bright red women's corseted long skirt, with her golden hair tied into a bun, and her long neck and delicate face.

"Dad."

Accompanied by excited shouts, a little guy wearing a navy shirt and gray shorts with obvious mixed-race features ran over with excitement on his face.

Behind him was a little carrot head who was wearing crotchless pants and walking slightly unsteadily.

Xu Liang quickly stepped forward and held the two little guys in his arms.

I have known Helen for almost five years, and they have two children together.

Xu Wenbai, born in October 2004, is almost three years old.

The younger one was born in May last year. He is now one year and three months old and can’t speak clearly.

Kissed the two children's smooth little faces hard several times.

The older brother was laughing and joking, while the younger brother felt uncomfortable being pricked by the tough stubble of the smelly old man, and his two little hands pushed his big face in disgust.

After laughing and joking with the two children for a while, I put them down.

He hugged Helen tightly into his arms as he walked over.

The woman also hugged him tightly, as if she wanted to rub her body into his arms.

"I really hope this moment stays forever so that we never have to be separated again."

Helen said affectionately.

"I love you, Helen!"

"Dad, Mom, I want to hug you too."

The child's words interrupted the deep affection between the two.

"Let's go home."

Xu Liang picked up his heavier brother, Helen picked up her younger brother, and the family got in the car and drove towards Atherton's manor.

When we got home, the family had dinner happily.

Put the two little ones to bed.

The woman jumped directly into his arms.

White arms hugged the thick neck.

His fiery eyes seemed to melt people.

"Honey, I can't wait."

"Me too."

He walked into the room with the woman in his arms.

A concerto of soul and body suddenly sounded, and soon resounded throughout the manor.

…

The next day.

Xu Liang practiced martial arts step by step, had breakfast, and took time to play with the children to enhance the relationship between father and son.

It wasn't until almost noon that Helen went downstairs with some staggering steps.

Putting down the child in his arms, Xu Liang smiled.

"If it doesn't work, don't force it. It's you who will be tired."

She rolled her eyes at him.

"I'll call those two sisters over tonight. I'll exhaust you to death."

"How are they doing during this period?"

Xu Liang asked with a smile.

"My sister Erica is pretty good and has been busy with her beauty website during this time; Camila is a bit wild and loves to play, and is a frequent visitor to bars and entertainment venues.

This book was recently updated in ##六@@九@@书@@!! Updated!

Because I am not short of money, plus I am pretty.

Caused a lot of trouble.

If it weren't for the bodyguard, she might have been played by someone else by now. "

Xu Liang nodded, "Since it's so troublesome, then give them a sum of money and send them away."

Helen smiled and said: "Why, have you had enough fun?"

"I just don't want to have a cuckold on my head for no reason."

The atmosphere here in the United States is much more open than that in the three East Asian countries.

Helen and Christina could endure their loneliness because they knew what they wanted.

Especially Helen, who has been in the upper class since she was a child and is well-informed.

Although Christina's family background is not as good as Helen's, she still belongs to a Kochi family.

Both of them have good family education and will not mess around.

"Okay, I'll handle this."

Helen said.

Xu Liang nodded and said nothing more.

He respects women's management of his 'harem'.

After the two played with the child for a while, they came to the office together.

"How is the company developing?"

Helen opened the safe and handed over the information she had prepared in advance.

"Everything you need to know is up there."

Xu Liang took it and turned it over briefly.

It is Facebook’s operating data for the two quarters of this year.

Facebook is now more than just a company, it also owns Twitter and Netflix.

The number of Facebook registered people worldwide has exceeded 270 million, and total revenue in the two quarters exceeded US$300 million, a year-on-year increase of 57%.

The number of Facebook platform partners exceeded 7,000.

The number of registered users on Twitter exceeded 190 million, and its total revenue in the two quarters was US$130 million, a year-on-year increase of 63%.

Netflix’s registered users exceeded 40 million, and its total revenue in the two quarters was US$160 million, a year-on-year increase of 34%.

The group's overall revenue in the two quarters was US$645 million (including non-main business income), an increase of 65% year-on-year, and the net profit of the main industry was US$127 million, an increase of 95% year-on-year.

"Overall, it's pretty good. How many people have registered for the Facebook APP now?"

"58 million, the development is very good."

Xu Liang nodded.

Originally, he planned to come up with a plan for ‘WhatsApp’, but after thinking about it, he decided against it.

It’s not too late to wait until Facebook completes the ‘Facebook APP’ before planning new things.

Doing too much at once can make you feel overwhelmed.

Instead, it delayed the development of two key apps.

"No one dares to be careless about what you personally explained. By the way, dear. Now that the crisis in the U.S. subprime mortgage market is getting worse, you have expected everything again."

Helen looked at the man in front of her with admiration.

As someone close to her, she knew very well that as early as the beginning of 2005, this man had foreseen the hidden crisis in the prosperous U.S. subprime debt market, and had acted in advance to plan for harvest.

Now it's all expected.

"I think you are curious about how much money I made, right?"

Helen came over with a seductive look, walked like a cat, sat in his arms, grabbed his broad palm and placed it on her chest, and said in a soft voice.

"Can you tell me?"

Xu Liang smiled as he played with the soft jade and warm fragrance.

"It's not that I don't tell you, but I don't know how much I can make. Now, many insurance policies are being settled, and some policies have not met the claim conditions.

So, it will take some time to figure out the specific figures.

Besides, haven't I donated $5 billion in CDS bonds to the trust fund under my son's name?

You goblin, are you still not satisfied?"

"Dear, no one in the world will think that the money is too much. Besides, only $4.5 billion of the $5 billion CDs finally arrived.

If it weren't for the name of charity, I would have to hand over a large sum."

Helen was a little dissatisfied.

He touched her nose affectionately, "You look like a female version of Grandet now. You are not satisfied with $4.5 billion?

However, you don't have to worry. The money in the trust fund is not static.

Investing $4.5 billion in the capital market will earn more in the future."

"Really?"

"Do I have to lie to you?"

Pah.

Helen kissed him heavily on the face.

"My dear, you are so charming now! I love you so much."

Xu Liang laughed.

He has a thorough understanding of this woman around him.

As long as you can give her enough money and social status, she will never betray you.

Although it sounds a bit naked, this naked relationship is easier to maintain.

After staying at home for three days, Xu Liang went to Hanhua Silicon Valley Office and took a look around Hongmeng US Company.

Hongmeng US Company is no longer an independent subsidiary, but a collection of US subsidiaries of many companies such as Hongmeng Games and Hongmeng No. 1 Store.

"Mr. Xu, this is a fax from Unocal. The company's exploration business along the coast of Brazil is progressing smoothly. Currently, an oil well has been discovered in Block 15. After professional measurement, it contains about 70 million tons of crude oil."

"70 million tons?"

"Yes."

Looking at the faxed information, Xu Liang was happy but also a little disappointed.

Even if a deep-sea oil field with such reserves is developed, it won't make much money.

"It's good news after all. Even if you can't have a big feast in the end, it's good to have two steamed buns to fill your stomach."

Xu Liang smiled.

"I heard that Chevron and Shell haven't drilled a single oil well along the coast of Brazil, and no oil has been seen. Compared with them, we are already very lucky." Li Jinling said.

Xu Liang smiled and nodded, "Any other news?"

"Yes. The Chinese General Chamber of Commerce of the United States invites you to attend the '13th National Chinese Financial Association Conference' held at the New York Ansheng Center on September 1st."

Xu Liang: "Is this the nth time they have invited me?"

"This is the fourth time. Since you became famous for shorting Enron in 2002, they have been inviting you to participate."

"You have been persistent for so many years, it's not good to always refuse, just agree."

It just so happens that he also needs to go to New York.

"Okay."
