Chapter 422 [Disney]

Mid to late March
In its previous life, Aigo, a company that caused quite a few disturbances in Hong Kong, was listed several months later than its original history. What is unexpected is that under such circumstances, Aigo was able to complete its listing and raise 1.75 million yuan.

Li Wendi was somewhat interested in this, so he asked someone to collect some information. It turned out that Aigo was an industrial stock with great potential and a real manufacturing industry, which won the favor of many investors.

Li Wendi thought about it and felt that Liu Luanxiong's success was very regular. The situation in the Middle East has been quite turbulent in recent years. Oil prices have skyrocketed several times, with small increases almost every month. Countries in Europe and America are under a lot of pressure, and promoting energy conservation is certain. Therefore, the classical fans produced by Liu Luanxiong's Aigo Company have a good market.

Although he has changed some major events in the original history as much as possible, he does not think that it will have a big impact on Liu Luanxiong's development trajectory. If he wants to make money and get ahead, he still has to use sniper tactics. Otherwise, how could he rise so quickly and enter the list of Hong Kong's top 20 chaebols.

The currency crisis passed smoothly, but it left a mess behind. Many wealthy families have begun to leave Hong Kong, and a large number of them have moved to Canada.

In Hong Kong, a large number of real estate companies can no longer sustain themselves and are closing down one after another. The creditor banks that are still struggling to support them are applying to the court for bankruptcy liquidation of the debtor companies. Although they cannot repay their debts, they will not lose all their money.

However, most of these court auction items had no one to take over and had to remain unsold.

A small number of real estate companies, such as New World Development Company, had anticipated the coming crisis and had already made preparations to deal with it, and had recovered a lot of cash flow in advance.

Hengxin Investment Company Office

Lin Dongmei had just returned from RB. Seeing the tragic situation in Hong Kong's financial sector, Lin Dongmei, who had a large amount of capital, went to RB to invest under the instructions of Li Wendi and harvested a wave of stocks of its large companies.

"Wendy, the RB stock index has risen to 14700 points. Compared with 82 points at the beginning of 6000, it has risen by nearly 8700 points. It's really terrifying." Lin Dongmei sighed, "If we had bought a large amount since 82, we would have made a profit of 130% by now."

Li Wendi smiled and said, "The stock market in RB will continue to rise. When the crisis in Hong Kong is over, it will also rise sharply. I am most afraid that you don't have so much money."

"I heard that you acquired Nikkatsu Films. Isn't this a film production company that is suffering from heavy losses?" Lin Dongmei asked.

"The movie business does lose money, but we have more than 400 cinemas, plus the land in Tokyo's business district. No matter how much money we lose, we can make it back. In addition, I plan to use the influence of Nikkatsu Film Company to make the comics under Qinian Newspaper Company into animation and movies. Maybe we can make a lot of money in the future." Li Wendi laughed.

"So that's how it is. So you plan to move your family to RB for development?" Lin Dongmei asked. She knew that Li Wendi had other lovers and it was unlikely that he would stay in Hong Kong for development.

Li Wendi shook his head. "RB is a place that is only suitable for harvesting wealth, not for family development. I hate this country too, and I don't want my descendants to have too much to do with it."

"This time, I not only inspected the stock market and cities of RB, but also got to know their heavy industry and automobile industry. It should have very good prospects." Lin Dongmei said, noticing Li Wendi's expression.

Li Wendi felt that Lin Dongmei wanted to control some industrial companies in RB country. She was no longer satisfied with investing in securities and stocks, and wanted to use industry to build her own family.

"Just say whatever you want to say. There's no need to beat around the bush." ​​Li Wendi said calmly.

"I want to control some industrial companies in RB, such as automobile companies and heavy industry companies. They don't need to be too big, just medium-sized ones will do." Lin Dongmei looked at Li Wendi and said. Li Wendi was silent for a moment. "The people in RB are not so easy to deal with. If they knew that those important companies were acquired by foreigners, they would definitely protest. You can't hold them for a long time unless you are a real RB citizen."

"If you really want to increase the power of your family, I can hand over the company in Singapore to your family to manage. Don't underestimate Singapore. There are many good companies there. In the future, we will also acquire Yeo Hiap Seng Group. Together with Haw Par International and several real estate and hotel companies, there will be enough for your family to play with."

"We can also expand our influence to Australia. The mineral resources, red wine and agricultural companies there are all good. I also plan to acquire some of these companies."

Hearing about Li Wendi's big plan, Lin Dongmei couldn't help but be shocked. She thought that only Singapore belonged to them, but it turned out that even Australia was included.

"What about the others?" Lin Dongmei asked.

"One Europe and one America are enough to accommodate a lot of people." Li Wendi said, spreading his hands.

Lin Dongmei curled her lips and said, "I heard that you are having a hot relationship with a woman named Guan Jiahui. Is that true?"

Li Wendi smiled and hugged Lin Dongmei, "No matter how many lovers I have, none of them can compare to you, otherwise I wouldn't put so much money in your hands. The assets in your hands are half of my net worth."

"I don't care. It's mine. I can't give it to any other woman, including your first wife." Lin Dongmei said seriously, "I'm Xiao Si, not your first wife. I'm a very greedy woman."

"How greedy are you? It's not even worth half of my net worth?" Li Wendi joked.

"That's not enough! I will squeeze all your future money out of you." Lin Dongmei said proudly.

"Then how about I give you a Disney company?" Li Wendi laughed.

The Disney Company can be said to be a symbol of American culture. After nearly 60 years of development, it has grown from a single store into today's corporate entertainment giant. Of course, expansion comes at a price. The founder Walt Disney holds fewer and fewer shares, and now holds less than 10%.

If the founder were still alive, there would be no problem. But now Walt has passed away and his son-in-law Ron Miller inherited the company. This man is not as capable as the founder and has suffered heavy losses in the past ten years of operation. Even the animation production business, which was previously the most profitable, began to lose money.

Disney's major shareholders are all well-known large American funds. They never participate in the operation of the investment company, but they cannot afford long-term losses. If an outsider acquires the entire Disney and cashes out a large amount of money, they will naturally not refuse.

However, the current market value of Disney is still 18-20 billion US dollars, and it is a symbol of culture. Li Wendi needs to find an ally, and it must be an American investment company, to borrow their name to control Disney.

This can not only reduce risks but also alleviate financial pressure, which is a very good choice.
