Rebirth of Xiangjiang Hidden Behind the Scenes

Chapter 223: Golden Age Venture Capital

After leaving Tengyue Entertainment, Su Chengcheng and Liu Qing went to Shengshi Venture Capital.

Here is the "secret" company that Su Cheng asked Huo Jianning to set up specifically to acquire the island country's film and television industry.

After arriving at the general manager's office, Huo Jianning took out a large pile of documents, which were the original contracts of all projects currently invested by the company.

The most outstanding move was last year, when Coca-Cola was targeting Columbia Pictures, it quietly acquired 8.9% of Coca-Cola's shares.

It only cost 730 million US dollars.

You know, the market value of Coca-Cola in later generations is tens of billions of dollars!

At the moment, it has not reached 10 billion U.S. dollars. However, with Columbia Pictures, it may exceed 10 billion U.S. dollars. Even so, Su Cheng has no plans to sell his shares, but to hold them for a long time. If possible

, will continue to acquire.

However, when he saw Columbia, Su Cheng asked: "Aning, do you know Sony's recent actions?"

"I know!" Huo Jianning said: "Last month, they also contacted Coca-Cola Company and wanted to acquire the shares of Columbia Pictures from them. However, the bid was too low and no cooperation was reached."

After thinking about it, Su Cheng could understand. In the past, Coca-Cola might have been sold. But because of Columbia Pictures, the shares of the headquarters Coca-Cola were held by outsiders. He must have been angry.

The asking price will naturally not be low.

However, Sony is moving very quickly! It is planning to cast a wider net! I don’t know if it is a feint or a sincere one.

After all, the current economy of the island country is not very good. If you spend so much money to develop the film and television industry, are you not afraid of losing money?

After Su Cheng finished reading it, he exclaimed: "Well done!"

"Thank you, boss!"

After hesitating for a moment, Huo Jianning said: "Boss, I have something, I wonder if you are interested?"

"What's the matter?" Su Cheng asked suspiciously.

"Acquire shares of General Electric." Huo Jianning's eyes flashed with light.

"Are you talking about the company founded by Edison?" Su Cheng asked.

Nodding, Huo Jianning said: "Yes, but now it is controlled by another consortium."

"I know! The Morgan family!" Su Cheng said playfully: "Why are you eyeing this company?"

"Because it is comprehensive and influential enough!" Huo Jianning said: "Since I am a venture capital investor. In addition, I am Chinese. If I only target the island country's film companies, I am afraid that it will arouse investigation by interested people. If Shengshifeng is

Invest, grow bigger, and become stronger. Maybe something unexpected will happen."

After giving him a surprised look, Su Cheng fell into silence. In his heart, what he could do was to develop the film and television industry. The best thing was to bring the stars he liked to Hollywood and let them become international superstars.

However, Huo Jianning now posed a problem for him. To strengthen Shengshi Venture Capital?

Looking at what he means, maybe it is just a controlling stake. Or even a shareholding. Not participating in direct operations.

Knocking on the table, Su Cheng's eyes darkened. If you don't participate in direct management and only get dividends, you can do this!

What's more, when the country develops and someone wants to acquire it, it can be resold!

Su Cheng patted the table and said solemnly: "It's done!"

Hearing this, Huo Jianning was overjoyed. However, Su Cheng turned around and said: "I agree to this matter. However, a venture capital company is a venture capital company. We pay dividends and do not participate in direct operations. In addition, in terms of funds, we have to

Wait for a while first."

"Boss, I understand!"

Seeing Huo Jianning so excited, Su Cheng asked curiously: "What is GM's current market value?"

"About 19.6 billion US dollars!" Huo Jianning said.

So few? Su Cheng was a little surprised. In later generations, he knew that the market value of this company was more than 600 billion US dollars.

Big Mac has not grown up yet!

Thinking of this, Su Cheng thought of Microsoft again. He said to Huo Jianning: "You should investigate Microsoft. The founder is Bill Gates. It mainly makes computer software. Acquire as many shares as possible."

Although he didn't understand Su Cheng's intention, Huo Jianning still nodded and said: "Okay, boss!"

After all, it will take several years for Microsoft to go public now. Stock market operations are impossible. We can only find someone to do it.

After all, Microsoft had a market capitalization of nearly US$3 trillion at one time...

In order to get Huo Jianning's attention, Su Cheng warned again: "No matter what, you must get the shares of this company. It doesn't matter if you have less. Just wait until it goes public and then acquire it. The potential of this company will not be lower than that of General Electric."

.”

"Ah? This..." Huo Jianning was surprised.

Before he could react, Su Cheng continued: "And that Apple company, which makes computers. You should know that, right?"

"I know it has become popular in the United States," Huo Jianning said.

Su Cheng nodded. Apple computers were officially launched to the world at the beginning of this year. Although they are not as good as the models he drew in the script, I have to admit that these people are awesome! Their thinking is quite advanced.

He said to Huo Jianning: "You can also acquire shares in this company. Its future is stronger than General Electric's."

After all, the market value of computer companies like Microsoft, Apple, and later Google all jumped to over one trillion U.S. dollars.

Google is truly worthy of its name with a market capitalization of over US$3 trillion.

However, Apple's presidents change frequently, causing considerable turmoil.

On the contrary, it has only been on the market for two or three years and is still growing.

It doesn't cost much to acquire shares.

The future is great, but not now!

After explaining these things, Su Cheng asked: "How is the layout of the island country?"

"Everything is progressing steadily!" After the previous shock, Huo Jianning regained his composure and said solemnly: "At this speed, in about two months, we will have 206 theaters and 1,135 screens."

"It's still too little!" Su Cheng shook his head and said, "Is there a faster way?"

"Yes, yes, but it's very troublesome and may expose us." Huo Jianning looked helpless.

Hearing this, Su Cheng began to think deeply. Finally he said: "What about the TV station?"

"Not yet!" Huo Jianning said: "If the Mitsui Consortium is not alarmed, it will take at least half a year to a year to plan."

After hearing this, Su Cheng realized that many things cannot be accomplished overnight.

Even if we have gained a lot this time, it is not the time to go head-to-head with Mitsui.

Who let financial resources and strength be insufficient?

Waving his hand, Su Cheng said: "Then do it at your own pace."

After a pause, he said: "In addition, as the company gradually grows in the future, security work must be in place. What I mean is to ask the headquarters to send people over. On the one hand, it will protect your safety. On the other hand, it will protect the company."

"Thank you, boss!" After all, this is the United States, which doesn't look as safe as Xiangjiang. Naturally Huo Jianning will not refuse.
