Rebirth: My dad is a coal boss

In addition to some shares acquired from individual shareholders, Lin Hao spent 1 billion Swiss francs more than the original 12 billion Swiss francs on this acquisition, reaching 13 billion Swiss francs, which is about 9.5 billion US dollars when converted into US dollars, almost breaking 10 billion US dollars.

With this 9.5 billion US dollars, Lin Hao now has little cash in his hands, but fortunately, the bank has it. The asset scale of Julius Baer Bank is about 80 billion Swiss francs. Although it is not too much, it is fortunate that there are complete bank branches. In 2003, it was in the economic recovery period, and all walks of life were developing rapidly, including the banking industry.

Moreover, as the boss, it is easier for Lin Hao to borrow from his own bank. Just like now, the remaining 5 billion US dollars of the acquisition of Richemont Group's luxury goods business, Lin Hao directly signed his name on the document, and the 5 billion US dollars was in hand. The whole circulation was very fast. It took only a few days from Haohan Capital submitting the loan application to Lin Hao's approval.

Of course, all the procedures are formal. Haohan Capital used the luxury goods business of Richemont Group, which is worth 7 billion US dollars, as a mortgage loan for 5 billion US dollars. The procedures are completely legal and compliant, but the approval speed is a little faster.

"Send this document to President Benjamin." Lin Hao said to Lena, who was dressed in an office lady.

As for the secretary of the former chairman, Lin Hao did not plan to change it. He would not stay in Switzerland for a long time, so there was no need to change someone. Moreover, through the observation of the past few days, Lena was very familiar with the company's business. I don't know if it was because she was afraid of being fired by me, she was very active and proactive. The most important thing is that she looks good and has a good figure, especially the pair of long legs in black silk, which is very pleasing to the eye.

"Okay, Chairman." Lena said immediately after hearing Lin Hao's words, and after taking the document, she twisted her waist and walked out.

Lin Hao sat in the boss chair in the office, looking at the sky outside the French window, thinking about the next plan. This trip to Europe was fruitful. Except for some minor episodes, things were basically smooth, and the rest was some finishing touches.

.....

3 days later, in the chairman's office.

"Boss, the Swiss Securities Regulatory Commission has agreed to our delisting plan. The remaining few percent of shares will be forcibly acquired by us. There is also a loan of 5 billion yuan from Haohan Capital, 1 billion US dollars has been received, and the remaining funds will be received before Christmas."

In the office, Benjamin reported to Lin Hao on his work.

"Well, how is the situation of Bank of Julius Baer?" During this period of time, Haohan Capital has been taking stock of the situation of Bank of Julius Baer, ​​including funds, accounts, etc. Although it has been investigated before, it is far from being as clear as internal audits.

"Very good, the financial situation is very healthy, far beyond our expectations, and in the original plan of Julius Baer, ​​there are a series of development plans, which are very feasible after our analysis. If they can all be realized, then the business scale of Julius Baer will be multiplied several times."

Hearing Benjamin's words, Lin Hao was a little surprised. He didn't expect it to be like this, but Julius Baer is the second largest private bank in the world in the future, which shows that it is indeed developing well.

"Then follow the previous development plan and focus on the US and Asian markets." Lin Hao said to Benjamin. The current business of Julius Baer Bank is mainly concentrated in Europe, and the business volume in the United States and Asia is very small.

Since the 21st century, the fastest growing regions are the United States and Asia, while the development of Europe has entered a slow or even stagnant state. Now, as the boss of Julius Baer Bank, Lin Hao will naturally not miss the opportunity of rapid development in the United States and Asia.

"Understood." Benjamin naturally knew that Lin Hao attached great importance to the US and Asian markets. The United States can be said to be the base camp. Although he invested in so many industries in Europe this time, the most important industry is still in the United States.

As for Asia, especially the Chinese market, you can see how much Lin Hao attaches importance to it by looking at the US$160 billion investment reached with the Chinese government.

....

The next day, Lin Hao took a private plane from Zurich, Switzerland to Paris, France.

Lin Hao regarded France as his base camp in Europe, which was not comparable to the United Kingdom and Germany. The main reason was that France was considered to be pro-China among a group of European countries, and France's economy was also at the forefront among European countries.

The plane landed at Charles de Gaulle Airport, and Robert came to pick him up early in the morning.

"Where are my parents?" After getting in the car, Lin Hao asked Robert directly. The couple did not go to Switzerland with him, but came to Paris to spend time alone.

"Mr. Lin and Ms. Zheng went to Greece the day before yesterday."La, said they were going to see the Aegean Sea."

Hearing this, Lin Hao didn't know what to say. The couple was really romantic, and lived a more carefree life than himself. This trip to Switzerland, except for playing with Sophie Marceau for 3 days, they were basically busy with work, and didn't even go to see the small towns in Switzerland.

"How are the things I asked you to do?" Lin Hao asked.

"The copyright of the "Fantastic Beasts" series that you asked me to negotiate with Ms. JK Rowling has been obtained. Except for the copyright of book publishing, all other copyrights and trademarks are ours. Now there are confirmed to be 5. If there are more in the future, we will automatically obtain the copyright. "

Before going to Switzerland, Lin Hao met JK Rowling again. Lin Hao took the initiative to mention the novel "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them". The physical version of this book was launched in 2001. This novel is a fictional magical animal illustration book, originally written for charity purposes.

J.K. Rowling didn't expect Lin Hao to mention this, but after listening to Lin Hao's story before "Harry Potter", she was immediately attracted, and Robert took care of the rest.

"What conditions did you set?" Lin Hao asked.

"In addition to the sky-high copyright fee, we also gave Europe 1% of the box office, which made J.K. Rowling give us all the copyrights except the book publishing copyright. "

Lin Hao was not surprised to hear Robert's words. This was originally promised to J.K. Rowling. Fortunately, it was not a global box office. 1% of the European box office was acceptable, but it was also very much.

The box office of "Fantastic Beasts" was not as good as the "Harry Potter" series. The box office of "Fantastic Beasts" was lower and lower. The first "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" had 811 million US dollars, and the third "Fantastic Beasts: Dumbledore's Secret" only had 404 million US dollars.

But it was still a huge profit, so 1% of the European box office was also very high.
