Rebirth of the Great Entertainment Empire

…

Back to Xiangjiang.

The first thing Xu Cun did was to spend three billion Hong Kong dollars from Baye Bank to buy stocks in major real estate companies in Hong Kong.

This time, Xu Cun didn't use leverage, because there was no need for it-the Hong Kong stock market simply didn't have that many stocks.

The negotiations between China and Britain have come to an end, and many people have analyzed that Xiangjiang's stock market is about to pick up, so many daring people rushed to the Xiangjiang stock market to buy stocks.

Of course, Xu Cun is the only person who dares to say as accurately as Xu Cun has the strength to spend three billion Hong Kong dollars to sweep stocks like Xu Cun.

However--

For others, using 3 billion Hong Kong dollars to speculate in stocks is definitely an astonishing sum, but for Xu Cun, using 3 billion Hong Kong dollars to speculate in stocks without leverage is nothing more than using Baye Bank's money to make a little money.

Xu Cun is very fortunate that he founded Baye Bank, otherwise he just bought Twentieth Century Fox Film Company, a large pile of oil stocks and six local TV stations in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, Dallas and Washington. Three billion Hong Kong dollars were raised for stock trading within a short period of time.

Given that Baye Bank is so easy to use, Xu Cun allowed Baye Bank to expand aggressively even though he had almost no funds in hand!

Taking advantage of Xu Cun's acquisition of Twentieth Century Fox Film Company and six local TV stations in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, Dallas and Washington, Baye Bank opened ten more branches in Xiangjiang.

And, that's not all.

Baye also used depositors' deposits to acquire Ka Wah Bank and Wing On Bank to complete further expansion.

Ka Wah Bank is a bank with a long history, and its business operations have always been relatively stable. However, after the founder Lin Zifeng passed away in 1971, his descendants had no intention of running the business. Thus, in 1975, the controlling stake in Ka Wah Bank was acquired by the Singaporean overseas Chinese businessman Liu Chansong's family. Afterwards, Ka Wah Bank expanded rapidly and was listed in Hong Kong in 1980.

Ka Wah Bank's customers have always been mainly overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia. The Hong Kong peers don't know much about them and have always been wary, so Ka Wah Bank celebrates the New Year like an old lady-every year is not as good as every year.

When Hang Lung Bank was nearly taken over last year, Ka Wah Bank's deposits were also affected.

This year, Ka Wah Bank's shareholders' equity is 530 million Hong Kong dollars, and its accumulated bad debts are as high as 540 million Hong Kong dollars. In fact, Ka Wah Bank has gone bankrupt.

In order to get out of the predicament, Ka Wah Bank began to discuss the transfer of shares with the powerful and eager to expand Baye Bank.

The Liu brothers, who are facing the trouble of suspected fraud, are of course willing to find a capable next home for Ka Wah Bank, the source of the trouble. Therefore, the Liu brothers not only sold all the shares they held in Ka Wah Bank to Baye Bank, but also cooperated with Zheng Haiquan to make a situation that Ka Wah Bank was going to close down, so that Baye Bank could sell the shares held by other shareholders and retail investors. Take it all back.

Wing On Bank is an old local bank founded by Guo Quan, the founder of Wing On Company, a famous company in Hong Kong. Over the past decades, the management style has been conservative, and it has been able to stand upright and safe in Hong Kong's many banking turmoil.

This year, there was a scandal at Wing On Bank. Guo Zhikuang, the third generation of the Guo family who served as the general manager, embezzled 10 million US dollars from the bank for his own use, so that Wing On Bank suffered heavy losses because it could not recover the loans to the bank's directors and executives. , bank capital is negative.

That is to say, taking advantage of this opportunity, Baye Bank fully acquired Yongan Bank.

After Ka Wah Bank and Wing On Bank were acquired by Baye Bank, these two banks were directly merged into Baye Bank, which expanded Baye Bank by nearly one-third and became the fourth largest bank in Hong Kong in one fell swoop.

In addition to expanding locally in Hong Kong, Baye Bank has already begun to focus on overseas.

First of all, after discussing with Xu Cun, Zheng Haiquan is actively contacting the mainland, preparing to build branches of Baye Bank in Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and Wuhan.

Secondly, Zheng Haiquan is actively planning to establish branches of Baye Bank in the United States, Japan, Canada, Australia, Switzerland, France, Germany, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand, Mexico, Bermuda, and Necker Island.

Honestly--

Baye Bank has indeed taken a big step. If it is replaced by other banks, it will be a joke.

but--

With a lot of benign assets and a huge reputation, the most important thing is that the Baye Bank owned by Xu Cun, who has the foresight, is not other banks.

And now is the best time for the expansion of the Baye industry.

That's why Baye Bank expanded so aggressively.

...

end of may.

The annual Miss Phoenix has started again.

At the same time, Miss Xiangjiang also restarted.

It was the same as what Xu Cun had predicted in advance - once Phoenix TV and TVB co-produced Shanghai Bund was screened simultaneously on Phoenix TV and TVB, in the prime time, TVB's ratings immediately surpassed Phoenix TV, and the average of Phoenix TV and TVB The ratings were six to four in a short time.

What made Xu Cun most uncomfortable was that the two leading actors in Shanghai Bund - Zhou Runfa and Zhao Yazhi - were invited by him personally.

In other words, Xu Cun was responsible for TVB Xianyu's turnaround.

Regarding this, the top and bottom of Phoenix TV, especially Zhou Liang Shuyi and Xu Xiaoming, were full of complaints against Xu Cun.

But what if there are complaints?

Phoenix TV is wholly owned by Xu Cun, and the development of Phoenix TV into today's Xiangjiang No. 1 TV Station is also mainly due to Xu Cun's credit.

At present, the only thing Zhou Liang Shuyi and Xu Xiaoming can do is to do their best to firmly step on TVB.

Today, the battle between Miss Phoenix and Miss Xiangjiang can be regarded as the battle between Zhou Liangshuyi and Xu Xiaoming and Shao Yifu and Fang Yihua.

And the focus of the battle between Zhou Liang Shuyi and Xu Xiaoming and Shao Yifu and Fang Yihua focused on one person. This person is the champion of Miss Hong Kong in 1984-Gao Lihong, who is Hong Jinbao's future wife.

Gao Lihong's father is Australian and her mother is Chinese, so Gao Lihong has a beautiful appearance combining Chinese and Western.

Today's Gao Lihong is definitely a charming beauty. It is not an exaggeration to describe the beauty of Gao Lihong now with the eight words peerless elegance and beauty.

It can be said that if Gao Lihong participated in Miss Phoenix, Zhou Liangshuyi and Xu Xiaoming would win, otherwise Shao Yifu and Fang Yihua would win.

From this we can see how beautiful Gao Lihong is now.

but--

The current Gaoli Hongmei is beautiful, but Xu Cun is not interested in her at all.

Not only was he not interested in Gao Lihong, Xu Cun was not interested in the beauty pageants throughout 1984.

In addition, the mainland hopes that Xu Cun can serve as the head of the Xiangjiang business delegation to Beijing, and help the mainland invite some well-known people from the business circles to go north together.

Therefore, Xu Cun didn't even go to the beauty pageant in 1984.
