My 1999

Looking at the information in his hand, Qiu Mingcheng was surprised.

"Tunhe in the Western Region?"

"Know?"

Qiu Mingcheng nodded, "One of the three oldest stocks under the famous Delong, the first agricultural group in the Western Region."

In this era, Xiyu Tunhe has a registered capital of 806 million yuan and total assets of 3.1 billion yuan.

Tunhe has invested 1.4 billion yuan in 19 counties and cities in southern and northern Xinjiang in the Western Region, and has initially formed an annual production capacity of 380,000 tons of tomato paste and its series of products, 33,000 tons of forest fruit products, and 180,000 tons of sugar.

The entire Western Region provides Tunhe with more than 3 million tons of agricultural products every year, involving 200,000 farmers.

It is a national-level key leading enterprise in agricultural industrialization.

And it is also the world's largest tomato paste export and processing company.

"During this period, in addition to focusing on the soybean business, you also asked your people to collect more information about Tunhe in the Western Region, including finance and personnel. The more detailed the better." Xu Liangdao.

Qiu Mingcheng felt excited, the big boss wanted to acquire it.

"Don't worry, I will do my best to fulfill your instructions."

During this period, what he was most worried about was that Harvest Agriculture would be disbanded and he would be directly laid off from the company.

Now, if we acquire Xiyu Tunhe, he will be the best person at the helm.

"I'm waiting to see your results."

Xu Liang stayed in Hanhua until the afternoon before leaving.

——

Sixi Building, Box No. 9.

"Mr. Xu, we're here."

Lu Hui said respectfully.

Xu Liang nodded, stood up and went out to greet him.

Soon, a middle-aged white man in a white shirt and his secretary walked over under the guidance of the waiter.

Seeing Xu Liang standing in front of the door, the middle-aged man took two hurried steps forward and extended his right hand in advance.

"Hello, Mr. Xu, it's a great honor to meet you."

"You're welcome, Mr. Lauder, please come in."

After saying 'thank you', Teejay Lauder stepped in.

The two were seated separately.

"I ordered some local specialties. I hope Mr. Lauder will like them."

"Chinese cuisine is full of flavor and flavor. It has always been my favorite food, especially Mapo tofu and braised pork."

"Tell the chef to add some mapo tofu and braised pork to Mr. Lauder."

After Lu Hui nodded, she turned around and walked out.

"Thank you Mr. Xu."

Xu Liang smiled and nodded.

"How long will Mr. Lauder stay in the capital this time?"

“It depends on when Hongmeng’s Series B financing ends.”

"Haha, that's a long time. Mr. Lauder can take a good look at the scenery of the capital."

Tijie Loud smiled and said confidently.

"Mr. Xu, we at Goldman Sachs are very powerful and are a hugely influential financial giant on Wall Street, in the United States, and even around the world. With our joining, we can help Hongmeng develop better in the global Internet industry."

Xu Liang smiled and said: "I believe what Mr. Lauder said, but people from Morgan Stanley, Merrill Lynch, Lehman Brothers, and Citigroup also told me the same thing."

His meaning is very clear. Although Goldman Sachs is strong, it is not Hongmeng’s only choice.

Moreover, Merrill Lynch is the undisputed number one Wall Street investment bank in this era. Goldman Sachs suffered heavy losses in the Nasdaq crisis because of its heavy exposure to the Internet.

It has slipped from second place to behind Merrill Lynch and Morgan Stanley.

It really became the boss after the subprime mortgage crisis ended.

"I admit that Hongmeng has many options, but we can help you acquire Marvel."

"It's just Marvel. It's best if you can acquire it. It doesn't matter if you can't acquire it." Xu Liang said with a smile.

Marvel is still a piece of junk right now, and the companies that are interested in it are Disney, which is still fighting among themselves, and Oracle, which is a turmoil.

Disney already has a solution.

Oracle, as time goes by, Marvel will understand the true nature of this guy.

Politically, there are many vested interest groups behind Hanhua, so in Xu Liang's view, the acquisition of Marvel is just a matter of time, not a difficult issue.

Of course he would not exchange Hongmeng's interests for it.

What a loss.

Tijie Lauder frowned slightly. Things seemed to be different from what the company had expected.

However, whether the other party really doesn't care about the success or failure of the acquisition, or whether they have a solution, we still need to test it out to find out.

"Mr. Xu, Oracle is currently actively negotiating with Marvel. If you don't hurry up, you may lose a potential company."

"Haha, it doesn't matter. If Oracle wants it, just give it to it. How does that idiot Ellison know how to run a comics company?"

Tijie Loud automatically filtered out Xu Liang's ridicule. He was more concerned about the other party's attitude towards Marvel.

But from the current point of view, Xu Liang really doesn't seem to care about Marvel's ownership.

This is not a good thing.

"Mr. Xu, you may not care about Marvel, but what if it is a top Hollywood film company?"

Xu Liang raised his eyebrows, "I don't quite understand what Mr. Lauder said."

"Hongmeng's main business is Internet search and pan-entertainment. Now Hongmeng's Bing search has become the world's largest Internet search company. It has excellent technology and wide applications. It has been successful.

But your pan-entertainment industry, in addition to the game industry, the most important film and television industry has always been limited to East Asia and Southeast Asia, and even in these regions, your market share is very small.

But if you can build a top Hollywood film group, it will greatly make up for your shortcomings in this area. "Teejay Loud talked eloquently.

"It seems that Goldman Sachs knows our Hongmeng company very well."

"Of course, we will carefully understand any company that Goldman Sachs will invest in. Only by understanding it can we provide good post-investment services and help the target company develop better."

Xu Liang nodded slightly, "But I wonder which company Goldman Sachs can help us acquire? By the way, if it's a second-tier film company like New Line or Lions Gate, forget it."

The reason why the Big Seven of Hollywood can remain standing is not only their huge size and rich film library, but also, most importantly, because they have mastered the classification of all movies.

American film classification is not a mandatory system. It is the independent choice of the film producer to decide whether a film should be classified.

Therefore, you can decide how to classify the movies you make.

It is very consistent with the contract spirit of "freedom and equality" between the United States and the United States.

But America has its own national conditions.

Slogans and all that are just deceiving people, so just listen to them.

Capitalists know exactly what to choose.

Therefore, basically all film producers choose to submit film classifications, and all members of the MPAA also agree to classify all films they want to release.

And MPAA, the Motion Picture Association of America.

The main members of its committee are the chairs and presidents of the seven largest film and television media giants in the United States.

These seven giants are MGM, Universal, Paramount, Disney, Sony, 20th Century Fox and Warner Brothers.

Relying on their own power, the Big Seven of Hollywood basically monopolize the distribution of all films in the United States.

With this same power, Hollywood hasn’t changed much in half a century.

This is also one of the reasons why Xu Liang plans to acquire the Seven Majors in Hollywood. Only by becoming a chess player can he truly control his own life and death. Otherwise, even if he can acquire Marvel, most of his profits will be eaten up by others.

Look at "Harry Potter". After Order of the Phoenix was released, it cost 160 million yuan and earned more than 900 million US dollars at the box office. Anyone with a normal IQ knows that the producers and distributors made a lot of money.

But Warner said.

NO, although the box office of this film exceeded US$900 million, including DVD, TV rights, and peripheral sales, it exceeded US$2 billion, but we lost US$167 million.

There is nothing new under the sun.

Peter Jackson was also screwed badly.

The Lord of the Rings trilogy cost less than 300 million and sold for 2.9 billion U.S. dollars. As a producer, he didn't get a dime in dividends.

New Line Cinema directly said, we are losing money and have no money.

Jackson was furious, "Impossible, I want to check the account."

New Line Cinema, get out of here and stop causing trouble.

Jackson's eyes turned red, I'm suing you.

New Line Cinema, it's up to you.

The same thing happened to a bunch of blockbusters such as "Star Wars: Return of the Jedi", "Men in Black", "Forrest Gump".

Their main characteristic is that they have high box office but lose money.

Hollywood is a typical dark jungle, where big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat shrimp.

Xu Liang didn't want what he worked so hard to make to be eaten by others.

So for so many years, I have known that many blockbusters are making money, and even investing in one can earn 5 to 6 billion US dollars, or even more.

But the reason why Hanhua Capital was never involved.

There are too many ways to trick you.

So in this broken place like Hollywood, only by becoming a chess player can you protect your own interests.

Seeing Xu Liang's move, Tijie Lauder smiled and said: "With Mr. Xu's intelligence, he should know very well which company I am talking about?"

"global?"

"That's right. Now that Vivendi has put Vivendi Global on the shelves, we can help Mr. Xu buy it."

Xu Liang smiled and said: "Mr. Lauder, as far as I know, the United States does not allow foreigners to own TV networks and film and television companies at the same time."

Vidy One Universal not only owns Universal Studios, but also has 5 Universal theme parks, 14 local television stations in the United States, and the USA cable network.

This is a huge asset worth over 10 billion.

"Mr. Xu, you only need to change your nationality like Mr. Murdoch did, and you can easily bypass this law."

Xu Liang shook his head, "In the next ten years, China will be the most dynamic place in the world in terms of economic development, so retaining Chinese nationality is more important to me.

Also, I'm not very interested in television networks.

If Goldman Sachs can assist Hongmeng in acquiring Universal Movies and Universal Theme Parks, then I can guarantee that under the same conditions, Goldman Sachs can obtain the majority of Hongmeng’s Series B financing. "

Teejay Lauder quickly said: "We want 10% and serve as consultants on this transaction."

"Trading advisors are fine, but it's up to 4%."

"Mr. Xu, this is too little and does not match our efforts."
