The Industrial Giant Reborn

Jordan, can be said to be one of the biggest factors that created brilliance for the NBA after the end of the 1980s. For any league team, this is a real gold-absorbing artifact and brings huge popularity. If the Lakers have Without Jordan, plus your own resources, such as buying more top stars, the absolute strength will be overwhelming.

However, the brilliance of the NBA is definitely not limited to Jordan alone. In fact, there are many superstars with strong abilities in other aspects, forming different teams, and various exciting games require a large number of experts to participate, that is Because of too many masters, the glory of the NBA has been created. Of course, Jordan's various moves against the sky also played a big role.

But no matter what happens to Jordan in the future, he is just a potential star with good basketball skills, that is, a somewhat special college student. If Chen Zhiwen went to find him in person, it would be unusual and unnecessary. Arrange for professional people to go to the assessment, and then bring them back to your team. When you have time later, it's normal to meet again.

Before leaving Los Angeles, Chen Zhiwen arranged for a team of lawyers to register the Jordan sports brand globally, which is also a move for his textile industry to enter the international market.

Today's Anta shoe industry has been producing international brands such as Nike and Adidas on a regular basis, and its production capacity is not weak. However, it is very difficult for an unknown brand like Anta to internationalize, and it will take many years of operation. In fact, Chen Zhiwen's The plan is that Anta has always focused on the domestic mainland market, which is still a blank sheet of paper. Anta, Nike, and Adidas are no different to anyone, but they have strong capital and have many layouts in the mainland. Promote the Anta brand and occupy the market to a certain extent. If there is an opportunity in the future, it can also expand in Southeast Asia.

As for Europe and the United States, it is naturally handed over to the Jordan brand. When Jordan becomes popular all over the world with basketball in the future, it can also bring strong popularity to the "Jordan brand". A little out of the market.

However, this brand must be registered first. Otherwise, after registering after Jordan’s name becomes popular, there may be certain legal disputes, because the registration of a name that is too famous and has an owner is very controversial in many countries. Registration is the only legal basis, but in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, it is better to register early.

And Chen Zhiwen will not be so greedy that he can eat this big piece of meat by himself. After all, this is to make money in the European and American markets. The meaty one, at least the endorsement part, must belong to him, and with his reputation, the money he will give will not be less.

After this small acquisition in the United States, Chen Zhiwen boarded his private jet again, took a nap in the dark, and returned to Hong Kong.

Although he has left Hong Kong for more than half a month, the matter of Chen Zhiwen's acquisition of Disney is still the headlines of many media newspapers. The main reason for this is that some newspapers sent people to the United States to focus on this matter. It is difficult for foreign journalists to know the details of the big consortium's acquisition, but many approximate things can still be found if you search carefully. The most basic thing is that Disney has so many shareholders, and the purchase price is always told to them, and when they know the price At that time, outsiders will know how far the negotiation has come, or the Ministry of Commerce has received an acquisition application. This kind of thing will not be kept completely secret, and it will naturally be found out.

And some newspapers deliberately added fuel and vinegar, and even deliberately included Disney's debts in the purchase price. When the media announced that the acquisition was close to 3 billion US dollars, many people felt that Chen Zhiwen was transferring assets. Last year, "Fortune" only announced that Chen Zhiwen's worth was 4.5 billion US dollars, and almost half of his assets have left.

"There are too many fools, not enough liars." On the second day after Chen Zhiwen came back, he read various newspapers for a while when he came to the office. For this kind of acquisition, what we need to pay is only two or three out of ten."

A 4.5 billion, a 3 billion, let a lot of people follow the rhythm, but there is no way, many people do not understand, in fact, the so-called large-scale acquisitions, either use stock swaps, such as land and drink milk back then, or use a lot of This is also the role of investment banks or commercial banks and one of the sources of profit.

"Now there are more and more people saying this in the market, and even some people in our company have this kind of thinking. Some people even propose to leave their jobs and prepare to immigrate, or they just apply to work in overseas positions." Zhou Jiayang said: "Chen Sheng, Do we need to intervene, otherwise some friends in the media will only make things worse."

"Don't worry about them, and don't need to come forward to do anything, just let nature take its course, we can buy whatever we want with our own money, and we don't need to explain to anyone." Chen Zhiwen said: "If the people under us want to leave their jobs and immigrate, then Just agree, as for other people, it's none of our business."

Those who want to emigrate, the more emigrates, the better, it's none of Chen Zhiwen's business, the more they leave, the more benefits they can leave for themselves in the future.

"Okay." Zhou Jiayang nodded. Originally, he was worried that too many resignations would affect the company's operation, or that a large number of new recruits would put too much pressure on the HR department, but now that the boss has spoken, it must be like this Done.

"How about the negotiation with the Hong Kong government about the conditions for reducing the restrictions on bidding?" Chen Zhiwen asked again.

"On the surface, the Hong Kong government did not agree, but in the latest auction, there were almost no restrictions on three residential lands. This may be a step back secretly. I won these, but the location is very ordinary, in Sha Tin And Tseung Kwan O." Zhou Jiayang said.

"The Hong Kong government naturally wants to save face. If it is willing to release a few now, even if it responds, this may be a factor of financial pressure, but this is good news. Maybe after a while, the Hong Kong government may release more." Chen Zhiwen He smiled and said.

The Hong Kong government has always maintained Hong Kong’s low tax rate policy, which has also made Hong Kong a very high-quality investment paradise, shopping paradise, etc., but the price of doing so is insufficient fiscal revenue. In this case, it must rely on land finance , especially in the past few years, when the real estate market in Hong Kong was good, the Hong Kong government had a large fiscal surplus every year, and it was also extravagant to spend money. Various public infrastructure projects, public subsidies, and a large number of recruits have become the norm, but now the economic crisis is coming , but it is impossible to dismiss the people recruited before, and it is impossible to breach the subsidy that has already been contracted. Continue various infrastructure projects that can maintain employment.

The previous surplus may be able to last for a while, but it is impossible to work for a long time, and the Hong Kong dollar crisis is coming soon, and that time will be the most difficult period.

"Now we can only wait, but the good news is that many real estate companies have been forced to sell some of their properties at low prices, but these properties are not very good, and I haven't sold them yet." Zhou Jiayang said again .

"Well, there is no need to buy general land properties, just concentrate on waiting for more suitable ones." Chen Zhiwen nodded.

"Understood." Zhou Jiayang said: "There is one more thing. President Liang wanted to find you before, but because you went to the United States, he entrusted me to meet him sometime after you come back here."

"Is it because of our preparation to acquire Disney?" Chen Zhiwen asked doubtfully.

"No, President Liang said, it's not about Disney, but something else, but he didn't want to tell me what it is." Zhou Jiayang said.

"Okay, just for a few days, make an appointment with him for me and meet him." Chen Zhiwen said.

"Okay, I'll make arrangements now." Zhou Jiayang replied.

Two days later, Chen Zhiwen came to a small hotel in Central, many of them were very large, and the taste here was good. He used to like to come here often.

Soon, President Liang also came.

"President Liang, please sit down, here are ordinary food, there will be no problem with hospitality, let's enjoy it slowly." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile.

The dishes on the table are all the most common beef, chicken, fish, and several kinds of vegetables. They can be regarded as ordinary stir-fries, but the chefs here are of a high level and the taste is very good.

This is also for the convenience of those who entertain the Hong Kong government or other officials. Invite President Liang to eat here. After all, the other party is an official. If you eat a luxurious meal of tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong, it may not be very good.

"To Chen Sheng, it is very ordinary, but to me, it is very extraordinary." President Liang smiled and said: "This meal is considered very high-end in the mainland. Friends don’t have this level.”

"The economy in the mainland will also get better and better. After a few years of opening, the economy is obviously much stronger than before." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile.

"This is also thanks to the Hong Kong capital headed by Chen Sheng, who have invested a lot of factories in China to help domestic people find employment." President Liang said after sitting down.

"It should be mutually beneficial, and I can also benefit from it." Chen Zhiwen said that many products of Midea and Xinghe Trade are low-end light industrial products, which are very sensitive to labor costs. Hong Kong's current monthly salary exceeds 1,000 Hong Kong dollars. The low-profit industries in the world are almost unbearable, and moving to the mainland has obviously higher benefits and lower costs, and at the same time improves the competitiveness of products in the international market.

"There is also a mutual benefit, this is indeed the most suitable." President Liang smiled and said: "I came to ask Chen Sheng today, in fact, there is one thing that needs to be discussed with you, and it may be a mutual benefit. "

"What's the matter?" Chen Zhiwen asked curiously.

"There is a big project plan in Yanjing City, which involves a lot of funds, so I intend to let foreign capital participate. I came today to ask Chen Sheng what he means." President Liang said.

"Oh, what big project?" Chen Zhiwen asked.

President Liang went on to say: "In the past few years, Yanjing City has received more and more foreign missions and business investors. The hotel is basically not a problem. This is also thanks to the investment of Hong Kong businessmen, but we still lack a formal one. The hospitality center, after the inspection team from Yanjing City went to Japan, the United States and Europe, decided to imitate these countries and build a large trade center building in the center of Yanjing City, which is the first CBD office center in Yanjing City and even our country .

However, roughly speaking, the investment in this project is too large, and there is no extra finance to build this project in China. However, the current international trade situation cannot be delayed forever, so I will think of building this project through foreign capital. Trade Center, I wonder if Chen Sheng is interested? "
