Chapter 799 The Lu Family in 2012 (4k)

The palm prints on the window are getting lighter and lighter.

Gradually, frost formed on the glass and turned into water flowing down.

It was obviously not snowing, but in the dream, I dreamed of both snow and plum blossoms, a vast expanse of white with bright red dots.

Liu Yifei blinked his eyes slightly and turned over in the snow-like quilt. He thought he had an erotic dream last night without a trace, but he didn't expect it to come true. He saw Lu Fei smoking a cigarette and holding his mobile phone.

The smell of cigarette smoke, which is usually annoying, now also exudes an intoxicating fragrance, making the whole person feel a little crazy.

"The mobile payment red envelope for the Spring Festival Gala was returned to Cai Paybao without any danger." Xu Lei was laughing and joking on the phone.

"Any near miss?"

Lu Fei frowned.

"Yeah, I don't know what Lu Yun is crazy about. He must let Yipay win the bid and raise the price to 200 million."

Xu Lei smacked his lips and said, "Fortunately, it's within the budget."

"If it's Lu Yun, it wouldn't be surprising. He lost to us in home appliance e-commerce, leaving little time for Yipay."

Lu Fei smiled and said: "If we lose again this time, Lu Yun will never give up. He will only be even crazier next time."

"The next one will probably be the 'Didi' taxi-hailing app. It's okay. Sogou has been listed and has sufficient funds to fully support 'Shunfeng Travel'. Moreover, there are Penguin, Feigou, and NetEase behind it, so many are waiting for financing.

Not short of money.”

Xu Lei's tone was full of confidence.

"Don't worry. Before the mobile Internet and smartphones are fully popularized, we will first cooperate with taxi companies across the country to slowly accumulate and improve software flaws. When 3G is upgraded to 4G, taxi-hailing software will really become popular.

Then start promoting it from private cars.”

Lu Fei said bluntly that the competition between private cars is the main battlefield where taxi-hailing software will truly decide the outcome.

Xu Lei agreed wholeheartedly, "Who do you plan to give as the ambassador of Caifubao this time? Li Hong is waiting for Xin'er over there!"

"Liu Yifei."

Lu Fei looked back.

I saw Liu Yifei wrapped in a quilt and got out of bed with two bare legs. He was not so courageous. He even unfolded the quilt and wrapped it around him like the leaves of a Venus flytrap, pressing his face tightly against his back.

, without saying a word, holding her quietly.

After a long while, the phone finally hung up.

"I see that your conditions are quite good. Why didn't you think of finding a partner with good conditions?"

Lu Fei looked out the window, his eyes wandering.

"Aren't you the one with the best conditions? I couldn't find anyone better, and I didn't bother to look for it. Anyway, when I met you, it was you."

Liu Yifei took courage.

"What about before me?"

Lu Fei was very surprised.

"I want people to have good conditions, and people want me to be beautiful. But after a few years, I will still be beautiful. How about people's conditions?" Liu Yifei clung to her and refused to let go, "It's you who can feel whether I am beautiful or not.

Not worthy of you."

"Are you so willing to follow me?" Lu Fei turned around.

"You, please turn back and don't stare at me. If you stare, I can't say anything." Liu Yifei squeezed into his arms, as if he wanted to blend his face into his chest.

"..."

Lu Fei stroked her back, which was as tight as a bow string.

Slowly, he softened, and Liu Yifei said in a soft and soft voice: "They are all willing, how can I not be willing? Anyway, I don't want to, no matter how hard I try, it will not be satisfactory. Compared with being unhappy, I am more satisfied like this.

Be happier. The most important thing in life is to be happy!"

"Oh, do you live so transparently?"

Lu Fei said in a joking tone.

"Whether it's transparent or not, you...don't you know?"

Liu Yifei said more and more quietly, and was suddenly picked up by him. His entire upper body flew into the air, and he clamped his legs in fear.

"It's such a cold day and I don't have to worry about freezing my feet even if I go barefoot."

"It's not cold, it's very hot."

"Lift your head and let me tell you something serious."

Seeing her getting what she wanted, Lu Fei said: "After the new year, my senior sister will ask you to act in an award-winning drama, "Ex Machina", but you have to act as the voice actor for Shishi. It's up to you."

"I don't have any objection, it's whatever you say."

Liu Yifei's face was filled with happiness.

"I won't wrong you. After the filming is over, the senior sister will choose the best-selling book "July and Ansheng" to remake. Then you and the teacher will play the double heroines. If everything goes well, the golden horse or the golden statue will be given to you.

You should have no problem trying to win a Best Actress Award."

After a pause, he said: "During filming, I cultivated more relationships with my teacher. I heard from many people that you are a bit unsociable."

"If I were to take care of everyone, how could I have so much time?" Liu Yifei was mid-sentence when his butt was suddenly spanked.

"Snapped!"

There was a crisp sound in the quiet air.

"Well, I have a good relationship with Shishi."

Liu Yifei bumped his forehead against his chin, "Do you think Shishi and I look very similar, and think...as long as she is willing..."

"Snapped!"

Lu Fei showed no mercy, "What are you thinking about? Do you two look alike? Apart from the fact that you are both a bit silly, you are not similar at all. One looks like a plum blossom and the other looks like a chrysanthemum."

Liu Yifei grinned and suddenly realized that he looked ugly with his teeth exposed. He was so frightened that he immediately lowered his head.

"Lie down, it's time for me to go."

Lu Fei walked to the bed.

"Can you walk slowly? It's still early."

Liu Yifei just wanted everything to come true and was unwilling to let go easily.

Lu Fei patted her face and said, "Have a good rest, cooperate well with Caifubao's advertisement, and perform well in the Spring Festival Gala program."

January 22, New Year’s Eve.

In the quadrangle of Yonghe Temple, firecrackers went off again and again.

Lu Ruoruo and Lu Hua, under the care of Xiao Hongmei and Gao Yuanyuan's sister-in-law, happily played with the small firework sticks in their hands.

Looking back from the window to the room, Lu Yun touched his bulging belly, his face flushed, and he burped with satisfaction.

On the table, cups and plates were in a mess.

On hand, the wrapped dumplings are neatly arranged.

Lu Fei was absent-minded and glanced at the TV from the corner of his eye. At this time, a promotional video for Caifubao's Spring Festival red envelopes was playing. Liu Yifei was wearing red and festive clothes with a smile on his face:

"Don't live up to the blessings of every red envelope."

Compared with Penguin Pay last year, this time it was more experienced. Caifubao was fully prepared. Even in the face of horrific traffic similar to Double Eleven, it was able to withstand it without collapse.

The entire mobile payment market is either dominated by Penguin or Caifubao, leaving no room for Yipay to survive.

When he thought of Lu Yun's furious face, the corners of Lu Fei's lips turned up in dismay. He didn't know if he liked this gift!

"Ah Fei, Wang Laoji and Jiaduobao are having trouble again recently, have you heard?" Lu Yun poured two cups of hot tea for the two of them.

"Oh?" Lu Fei shook his head.

Lu Yun simply told the whole story, "Now that Jiaduobao is at a disadvantage, Jiaduobao wants to attract Qilixiang to invest in the partnership, but the management has different opinions and feels that instead of joining, it is better to create its own herbal tea like Qizheng."

The brand, after all, makes fruit tea, milk tea, and one more herbal tea.”

"Brother, do you think Qilixiang can do better than Jiaduobao and Wanglaoji in this herbal tea business?"

Lu Fei blew the hot air on the tea soup.

"This is also where I am embarrassed. The advantage of Wong Lo Kat is that it has been a popular brand for so many years. Although Jiaduobao no longer has the Wong Lao Kat trademark, the backbone team is still there, and the sales network, dealers, formulas, and factories are still there, which is quite impressive.

Since I split the original Wong Lao Kat into two parts, I am only sure that within three to five years, I will surpass He Qizheng, but I will catch up with Jiaduobao and Wong Lao Kat..."

Lu Yun shook his head and laughed.

"It's not often in shopping malls that the boss fights with the second, and the third and fourth are gone. Now that Qilixiang has entered the game, he will definitely be involved in the fight between Jiaduobao and Wanglaoji."

Lu Fei waved his hand.

"It seems that I should stick to my old business." Lu Yun sighed, preparing to use the excess funds accumulated by Qilixiang to continue to develop offline milk tea and upstream materials.

"Brother, does Qilixiang have a lot of spare money?"

Lu Fei took a sip of tea.

"You, you, are the second shareholder after all. How come you don't even know the cash flow of your family business?"

Lu Yun immediately quoted US$800 million.

"So many! In fact, brother, if Qilixiang really wants to invest in the food and beverage field, don't just focus on the country, it's better to look abroad." Lu Fei said leisurely.

"Abroad?" Lu Yun was curious.

"Isn't there a debt crisis in Europe right now? In the past few days, Standard & Poor's has also lowered the credit ratings of the UK and France." Lu Fei raised the corners of his mouth, "Many companies in Europe and the United States are in deep funding crises. They either collapse or are in trouble.

On the verge of collapse, this is a great opportunity for Chinese enterprises to make overseas mergers and acquisitions."

"It's happening!"

Lu Yun's eyes lit up, and the situation opened up instantly.

"Otherwise, how could ASML go public? Otherwise, how could KUKA accept our investment..."

Lu Fei said that Trisolaris Fund has a large number of investment projects in Europe and the United States, not including Canada. It has a US$15.1 billion joint venture with China National Aviation Oil to acquire Nexen Petroleum Company.

Counting the oil fields in the Middle East jointly exploited by Koch Industries, Mr. Lu can also wear a piece of cloth on his head and declare to the outside world that he is rich.

Especially these days, energy and crude oil are on the rise!

The two brothers were making tea and discussing the investment plan for Qilixiang in 2012. At this moment, Gao Yuanyuan and Xiao Hongmei returned to the house with Lu Ruoruo and Lu Hua, who had finished their act.

"What are you two brothers talking about?"

Xiao Hongmei took off her shirt and prepared to put down the dumplings.

Lu Yun told the truth, and when Gao Yuanyuan heard this, she also became interested, "Yeah, speaking of this, Ivanka has sent me news in the past two days, saying that the stock financing plan of AMC, the second largest theater chain in the United States, failed.

, had to be cancelled, and as expected it will be put up for sale to the public.”

"The fact that they are all for sale means that AMC has reached the end of its rope." Lu Fei helped Lu Hua put on his slippers.

"It is indeed a big mess. The losses are almost 83 million US dollars, and they are still losing money."

Gao Yuanyuan is smiling.

"You want to take over?"

Lu Fei sent Lu Ruoruo and Lu Hua to watch TV.

"Ivanka persuaded me. She said that if it weren't for the "Paramount Act", Hollywood film companies are not allowed to own theaters at the same time, otherwise they would have taken action long ago. I think AMC is indeed worth acquiring. It is the second in the United States and the top in the world.

Five theaters.”

Gao Yuanyuan said everything exactly.

Different from the high-quality lines of Han and Tang Cinemas, AMc currently operates 346 cinemas and 5,028 screens, which is only 1,530 screens less than Regal, the largest cinema chain in the United States.

However, the theater locations and locations owned by AMC are basically better than Regal. Among the top ten independent theaters in North America, AMC owns 6.

"How much is it expected to cost?"

Lu Fei frowned, then relaxed.

Gao Yuanyuan calculated: "The valuation of the entire AMC company is about US$1.5 billion, but the acquisition requirement of AMC is that in addition to 100% equity, it must also bear debt..."

"Not only operations and management, theater renovation, but also the era of 3D Max technology, equipment also needs to be upgraded. Adding these costs together, 2 billion U.S. dollars will definitely not be enough, at least 2.5 billion."

Lu Fei made a rough calculation.

"$2.5 billion!"

Gao Yuanyuan and Lu Yun were shocked. Even though the Lu family had at least more than 60 billion US dollars in assets on their books, they suddenly hesitated to spend so much money to acquire a shaky theater chain.

"Yuanyuan, do you still plan to buy it?"

Lu Fei looked at her with a smile.

"I think, to be honest with you, at the celebration party for "Pacific Rim", I received internal news from the Film Bureau that the "China-U.S. Film Memorandum Agreement" will be re-signed soon. It may be necessary to add 14 3D or

IMAX movies, and the U.S. box office share ratio has also increased."

Gao Yuanyuan carefully analyzed the future prospects of the theater chain.

"Well, I know this too."

"You also know? Did the Tong Bureau tell you?"

"No, it was Leader Sha who signed the agreement. I originally wanted to take you and Huahua to celebrate the New Year that day." Lu Fei raised the corner of his mouth.

"Then what do you think?" Gao Yuanyuan blinked.

"I support it, but it can't be acquired by Han and Tang alone. It has to be partnered with others, and we can't be the largest shareholder."

Lu Fei handed her a cup of tea.

Gao Yuanyuan cast an inquiring look.

"Aren't you saying that the entire theater chain industry is on the thin profit line? I think the United States is not much better. Otherwise, AMC would suffer such serious losses and give up on rescue efforts?"

Lu Fei said there are hidden dangers lurking in the entire cinema industry.

It is not just a problem of low profits and low profits, but also a problem that traditional theater chains are destined to face, and that is streaming media.

Nowadays, Netflix has taken off completely by relying on movies and TV series such as "House of Cards" and "S.H.I.E.L.D." of Han and Tang Dynasties. YouTube is also relying on Han and Tang Dynasty to develop its streaming media business. There is no doubt that——

The business model battle between the movie theater camp represented by AMC and the streaming media camp represented by Netflix and YouTube, the battle between the box office split model and the subscription membership system, is inevitable, and the streaming media has a greater chance of victory.

.

Because this is the general trend of the Internet!

“So if you want to find someone to share the risk, who should you turn to?”

Gao Yuanyuan's gentle eyes were full of admiration.

"Of course it's Wang Jianlin. If you give this news to Wanda, he will definitely like it. When the time comes to work together, Wanda will take the lead. If he wants 60%, he will give him 60%, and if he wants 70%, he will give 70%."

Lu Fei laughed and said: "What we want is just to ensure that our movies are released when they are released worldwide."

"good!"

Gao Yuanyuan lost her worries and put a smile on her face.

"By the way, Caifubao and Penguin Pay can also use AMC theaters to expand their payment scenarios to European and American theaters."

Lu Fei rolled his eyes.

Lu Yun, Lu Yun, why do you have to fight with me with your Yipay!

At this moment, Xiao Hongmei walked out of the kitchen carrying the steaming dumplings, shouting: "Eat the dumplings and smash them."

"Ruoruo, Huahua, come and eat dumplings!"

Lu Fei picked up his chopsticks and suddenly heard a bang outside the window.

The night is as bright as day and as bright as flowers.

Fireworks fill the air and it’s so beautiful!

Thanks I really don’t want to be the 100 starting coin of the African Emirates.
