The Rebirth of the Financial Hegemon

bother you for something.

With Zhao Jiangchuan's character, it was naturally impossible for him to come to Murdoch for no reason.

If you have that time, you might as well do something you love.

But as the head of Jushi Capital, he has to consider the company's overall strategic deployment.

Thailand’s layout has reached the final stage.

However, a mere Thai's appetite for Zhao Jiangchuan is nothing more than a toothpaste.

Just like he told George King. Even if everyone in Thailand is sold as piglets, how much can a small Thailand be sold for?

Zhao Jiangchuan's real purpose has never been Thailand.

However, different levels of duels require different levels of configuration.

With the energy that Jushi Capital can currently use, it is okay to play with friends like Thailand.

But when it comes to the international market, it’s still not enough.

The world of capital, in the eyes of intermediate players, is a battle between money and money.

But in the eyes of people like Zhao Jiangchuan, it's not just about money fighting against money.

Its complexity is no less than that of military confrontation between countries.

Compared with armaments, technology, and talents.

Preparation, personnel mobilization, and material transfer are all indispensable parts.

In addition, guiding public opinion is also an indispensable link.

Water can carry a boat and people's hearts can be used.

No one can reverse the so-called general trend, but what the general trend is, Zhao Jiangchuan's character cannot understand.

All living things.

It is a leek, but it is also a general trend!

People's hearts are like a tide, and they can be deceived.

But it's not that easy to bully one party.

Murdoch's News Corporation,

It is a good breakthrough point.

The Times, the most influential newspaper in the UK, has News Corporation as one of its largest shareholders.

The Daily Telegraph, founded in 1855, also has News Corporation as its largest shareholder.

In the United States, News Corporation owns 20th Century Fox Film Company and 35 television stations, accounting for 40% of the total number of television stations in the United States.

In Latin America, News Corp. has partnered with three television stations to broadcast 150 programs via satellite.

In Europe, News Corporation has Sky TV; in India, there is EETV.

Even in Mainland China, News Corporation also has Phoenix Chinese Channel.

News Corporation provides entertainment and information programs in seven languages ​​and through more than 40 channels to 53 countries and regions in Asia.

Such News Group is undoubtedly the best partner for Zhao Jiangchuan.

Just using the media controlled by News Corporation to gain a little convenience at critical times can create an ironclad torrent around the world.

The unstoppable torrent of iron armor.

So Zhao Jiangchuan came to Murdoch this time, hoping to increase his stake in News Corporation to expand Jushi Capital's power in News Corporation.

As for whether Murdoch would agree or not, it was not within Zhao Jiangchuan's consideration at all.

What he has to consider is how much sacrifice he needs to make.

Because as long as Murdoch is not stupid, he will definitely agree to Zhao Jiangchuan's investment.

Is Murdoch stupid?

If he, who single-handedly built a global media giant, is stupid, then there may not be many smart people in the world.

After running through it quickly in his mind, Murdoch clarified the stakes of letting Jushi Capital take a stake.

Last year, the three genes announced by Jushi Capital had a return rate of 560%.

However, that is the data released by three funds under Jushi Capital.

The intelligence Murdoch received was 89%.

This does not include Jushi Capital’s 100% acquisition of Standard Chartered Bank for one dollar.

If calculated, Jushi Capital's annualized income would be an astronomical figure that is simply unimaginable.

Such horrific gains are very rare in financial history.

If we really want to compare, I am afraid that only the $100 million that Livermore earned in a few months in 1929 can compete.

Underneath the terrifying gains, there must be inhuman strategy and wisdom.

Murdoch knows this very well.

Just the free operation model that Zhao Jiangchuan once casually mentioned opened up a new idea for Murdoch.

As for why Jushi Capital wants to settle in News Corporation, Murdoch also knows it very well.

At his level, he still doesn't know the true nature of the capital game.

Just wield the sickle to cut leeks.

So Murdoch made a quick verdict.

"Zhao, it's not impossible for you to increase your shareholding. I believe you are indeed not interested in the operation of News Corporation. But I have two questions and I hope you can answer me."

"what is the problem."

"How many shares of News Corp. do you want to own?"

"Twenty percent."

"How many shares of Jushi Capital can News Corporation hold?"

Zhao Jiangchuan smiled.

Communication between smart people often doesn’t require much.

Although Murdoch did not say it clearly, Zhao Jiangchuan could not understand what Murdoch meant.

Zhao Jiangchuan silently stretched out a finger.

Murdoch seemed slightly dissatisfied.

"Ten percent?"

"No, one percent."

Murdoch quits.

He rolled his eyes and shrugged.

"Zhao, you are a black-hearted capitalist, why can't you exchange 20% of News Corporation's shares for more than 1% of your shares in Jushi Capital?"

"Rupert, I think you made a mistake. Jushi Capital now holds 5% of News Corporation's shares, so it should be 15%."

"..."

Murdoch didn't want to talk.

He was really fed up with how evil the guy in front of him was.

Based on the market value of News Corporation, a 15% stake is worth nearly 1.5 billion US dollars.

But Zhao Jiangchuan was lucky. The US$1.5 billion only gave him 1% of Jushi Capital's shares.

This can no longer be described as black.

Murdoch's face turned dark, and anger gradually rose in his eyes.

He felt that Zhao Jiangchuan's price reduction was an insult to him.

No matter what, News Corporation is the world's largest media company, but its 15% share can only replace 1% of Jushi Capital's shares.

If anyone found out, it would make people laugh to death.

Murdoch is a famous figure after all, he said with suppressed anger.

"Zhao, I think you are joking, right?"

"No, no, I'm serious. Rupert, I think you forgot that there is Standard Chartered Bank under Jushi Capital."

"Even so, it's still not enough."

“What if Standard Chartered goes public?”

Murdoch felt a sudden thought.

"Plop, plop."

The violent heartbeat made Murdock feel like his mouth was dry.

He found that he really didn't seem to suffer.

To be precise, if Jushi Capital had not spun off Standard Chartered, he would have made a lot of money.

Because the original valuation of Standard Chartered Bank was US$3 billion.

But that was Standard Chartered before.

After Standard Chartered was acquired by Jushi Capital, its registered capital increased by US$500 million.

As long as Standard Chartered can be listed, with Jushi Capital's operation methods in the capital market, it will reach a terrifying figure.

Ranking first in the world in the year is no joke.

damn it.

How could I forget this?

Murdoch asked, suppressing the feeling of dryness in his mouth.

"Zhao, I apologize for my attitude just now. I hope you can forgive me."

"Oh, Rupert, you don't have to apologize. The only fault is that I didn't speak clearly."

No one denies having more money.

So, no surprises.

After confirming that this powerful alliance would bring them huge returns, Murdoch and Zhao Jiangchuan finalized a rough cooperation agreement on the spot.

Murdoch's shares in News Corporation were exchanged for 15% for 1% of Jushi Capital's shares controlled by Zhao Jiangchuan.

Outside the chairman's office.

Murdoch accompanied Zhao Jiangchuan and walked out.

"Rupert, you don't have to send me off, over there..., hehe!"

After Zhao Jiangchuan glanced at the reception room not far away, he gave Murdoch a look that any man could understand and said.

Murdoch smiled knowingly.

he said.

"Zhao, then I won't send it to you. I wish us a happy cooperation."

"Rupert, then I won't disturb you. Goodbye!"

"Bye!"

After Zhao Jiangchuan left.

Murdoch walked towards the reception room with a smile on his face.

After seeing the man in the reception room, the smile on his face became even brighter.

Murdoch felt that his long-lost love had returned.

Today is really a day of harvest for both career and love.

The entrance to the reception room.

Murdoch adjusted the tie around his neck, and after checking his clothes, he knocked on the door of the reception room a few times.

Three seconds later.

Murdoch opened the door and walked in.

Without any hesitation, he walked straight to Deng Diwen.

"Miss Deng, Zhao temporarily left earlier. He asked me to tell you. I hope you don't mind."

"It's okay. Thank you, Mr. Murdoch, for coming to tell me in person."

"Oh, you're welcome. It's my honor to be able to serve such a charming lady like you. I wonder if Miss Deng has a date tonight."

"No..."

"..."
