Almost two months have passed since I finished filming “The Invisible Guest” in August.

A lot of things happened during this period.

Fan Wumian has taken some time to calm down and review all the projects on hand. He has further laid a solid foundation by re-optimizing the allocation of his personal assets.

For example, Valentino has reshaped its brand image and made major adjustments from production to sales, adding more than 30 partners, including leather processing factories, hardware processing factories, advertising and marketing companies, transportation companies, retail department stores, etc.

The number of documents submitted to Fan Wumian during this period could fill a large cardboard box, and many issues required him to make the final decision personally.

There are also fund projects, from Paulson Hedge Fund to WM& Rogers Hedge Fund, to the Bandit King Fund in Hong Kong and the Mainland, as well as the financing of the acquisition of China Merchants Bank Securities and the “Eastern Fortune Network” which has just decided to change its name. These projects have the opportunity to improve the cash shortage dilemma that Fan Wumian is facing in a short period of time.

Even if it doesn’t bring in cash flow, it doesn’t actually matter much.

Because once the scale is expanded, you can directly take the shares of these fund companies and go to banks for mortgage loans or help provide guarantees, and you can also exchange them for money. Compared with your own funds, the only difference is that you need to pay more interest.

In order to raise funds to swallow up huge amounts of penguin stocks, the sequelae of a snake swallowing an elephant have not been completely eliminated until now. If you want to seize some speculative opportunities in the short term, you must hurry up and raise more funds.

For companies like Apple, which is about to release the first generation of the iPhone, this is a great opportunity to make quick money, and every missed opportunity is one less.

In addition, there are Netflix and Marvel, which also make Fan Wumian very interested. He thinks there is a chance to negotiate terms with Hollywood studios through them and make a fortune in the international market.

Many ideas require huge capital flows to support them before they have a chance of being realized.

The income he earned from the entertainment industry alone was not enough to support his appetite in the short term. In addition, he would need money more often in the future, so Fan Wumian had to think of other ways.

10 month 17 number.

President Wei of Bank of China Hong Kong called again and said in a relaxed tone:

“Mr. Fan, I have submitted the materials for you. I showed them to the head of the head office in advance. He thinks there shouldn’t be any big problems. However, we filled in 20 billion Hong Kong dollars, but the specific amount you can apply for depends on how much quota you can get.”

“Okay, how long will it take for the results to come out?”

“About two weeks. I heard from the head office that they seem to be very interested in you and want to find you to cooperate with the fund and securities companies under Bank of China. How about setting up a time to meet? If we can start cooperation, the loan will definitely not be a problem. It may be approved immediately.”

“.Okay, I don’t know anything right now. I’ll call you back this afternoon, okay?”

“Okay, okay! Then I’ll send you some information later.”

When I received the call.

Fan Wumian was accompanying Xiao Ma Ge, who had just arrived from Shenzhen this morning, to inspect the headquarters of Dongjing Multimedia Network.

Da Qiangzi received us personally. He looked energetic and seemed particularly young.

Although Fan Wumian didn’t know the details of the incident in Minnesota in his previous life, it was common sense that a wealthy businessman like him would be surrounded by beautiful women. Even if there was some trouble, it could be settled by paying more money. There was no need to make a big fuss.

If you look at it from the perspective of interests, everything seems to make sense.

At that time, the stock price of Dongjing Mall was at its peak, reaching more than 700 billion US dollars, and it also divested Dongjing Finance and Dongjing Logistics, preventing foreign capital from gaining much advantage.

If someone dug a trap and used the beauty trap to bury Da Qiangzi, and used a large amount of funds to short with leverage, they could easily get huge returns of several times or even more than ten times. Later results also proved that Da Qiangzi, who failed to control his belt and was caught by others, eventually gave up the actual control of Dongjing Group, and entered semi-retirement early due to disillusionment, and rarely appeared in public.

Others could just watch these things as fun, but Fan Wumian could smell a strong sense of danger. After all, he was the largest shareholder of Penguin Group and controlled many high-quality assets.

to be honest.

In the eyes of European and American oligarchs, other countries are just their “hunting grounds” and they will not allow their prey to jump out and offend them.

In order to rush the delivery of goods, the Italian factory has been working overtime frequently. The head of the labor union just tried to negotiate with Valentino’s executives yesterday, demanding a substantial salary increase of 15% next year.

Hundreds of Italian workers at Valentino enjoy three or four weeks of paid vacation every year and receive an average monthly salary of 28500 yuan, but they threaten to strike. Aren’t they just like ordinary people in the third world, giving them the right to be willful?

Europe and the United States are busy raising their sickles to easily reap wealth, people are looking for beaches everywhere to enjoy paid vacations, and they often clamor for a pay raise.

Whenever Fan Wumian thought about this matter, he felt as if he had eaten a fly.

I increasingly feel that placing the new factory elsewhere is the right move. Europe has maintained high welfare for too long, so long that many people have forgotten that making money should not be so easy.

He happened to be discussing cooperation with Aocheng recently. If the land area he obtained was large enough, he planned to build the new clothing and shoe factories he planned to expand in Aocheng.

At this moment.

Accompanying the inspection as a major shareholder, Fan Wumian felt like laughing when he heard Da Qiangzi seriously introduce the scale of Dongjing Multimedia Network and learned that the net profit was only a few hundred thousand a month.

Xiao Ma Ge was more concerned about the technology of Dongjing Multimedia Network and asked some key questions, such as how to push products to customers, warehousing and freight costs, gross profit margin and net profit margin, etc.

Penguin Group has tens of millions of active users. Its top priority is to find new monetization channels to offset the negative impact of breaking up with DreamNet and the possible loss of a large amount of wireless value-added business.

The current situation is that Jack Ma in Lin’an hopes to replace QQ with the Want Want chat software and seize market share in Internet finance, portals, social networking and other fields from the Penguin Group.

This is mainly because Alibaba merged with Yahoo China last year and has many ready-made resources to utilize. A few months ago, Yahoo also announced a partnership with Microsoft to jointly build the world’s largest instant messaging community for individual users, with the number of users expected to exceed 3.5 million.

Alibaba did it on the first day first, so of course Pony Ma can do it on the fifteenth as well.

Even the instant messaging market has been coveted by others, so Penguin Group certainly has reason to try to grab some market share from the online shopping industry.

I still remember that Da Qiangzi had mentioned in a public interview in his previous life that the financing price was far higher than his psychological price. After a brief tour, Fan Wumian suddenly asked:
“Mr. Liu, what valuation did you give to your company?”

Da Qiangzi was prepared and said politely with a smile:
“This year’s turnover is expected to reach 1000 to 20 million, and the profit is estimated to be to million. I plan to raise million and give you % of the shares. This is the rule in the United States, and my request is not excessive.”

Brother Xiao Ma looked at Fan Wumian and said:
“We don’t want to raise funds. It’s better to acquire directly. This will facilitate the management and operation in the future, and we can attract large-scale traffic to the online shopping platform through Penguin Group. If we raise funds, this part of the value cannot be calculated. Even if we invest 1000 million in you, it will be burned quickly. We can’t compete with Taobao under Alibaba.”

Fan Wumian added with a smile:
“According to what Mr. Liu said, I can agree to pay 5000 million in cash and retain the current Dongjing management team. The company will be integrated into the Penguin Group as a subsidiary.”

“With the funds and resources of Penguin Group, Dongjing Multimedia Network will be able to survive more easily. If you manage this platform well, in addition to promising to pay high salaries, you can also set up option rewards. For example, if the overall valuation reaches 10 billion yuan, you can reward Mr. Liu with another 2000 million yuan or corresponding equity.”

“Being able to score 100 points in elementary school does not mean you will be able to pass the college entrance exam without any problems. When Penguin Group enters the online shopping market, small companies like Dongjing will be the first to be impacted. Cooperation is the best choice.” (End of this chapter)
