1052 [Welfare Room]
Seeing the Los Angeles Times so popular with the film "The Love of Man and Ghost" by Summer, Liu Dehua and others couldn't help but feel happy and proud of him.
"Thank you." Xia Tian smiled.
Although the Los Angeles Times is not ranked among the American media, it is still relatively influential in the Los Angeles area. Now it appreciates its own movie so much, it will definitely influence many readers and friends. Good thing!
"Ah Tian, you are so awesome. You are so proud everywhere." Seeing that the American media are waving flags for Xia Tian, Chung couldn't help but feel honored.
"This glory is half mine and half yours." Xia Tian leaned into her ear and laughed whispered.
After hearing what he said, Chung Chuhong blushed with shame and covered her mouth and started to laugh secretly.
When Liang Jiahui and Liu Dehua were filming "The Love of Man and Ghost", they already knew that their relationship was unusual. So now they are no longer surprised to see their intimate actions.
Although the two of them did not agree with Xia Tian's practice of stepping on several boats, they also knew that it is common for rich people in Hong Kong to have three wives and four concubines.
Not to mention anything else, everyone knows the relationship between Shao Yifu and Fang Yihua; the gambling king Mr. He Hongshen also has three wives, and as for the unnamed confidantes, I don’t know how many of them are; and the playboy Zhao Shizeng has more than 10,000 bedmates.
In comparison, Xia Tian is young and youthful, but only has a few girlfriends, which are all restrained.
"Mr. Xia, judging from the media's reaction, our publicity yesterday was still very effective." William, who accompanied the publicity, said with a smile, "We must continue to work hard today."
"Don't worry, we will do our best!" Xia Tian nodded and said enthusiastically, "Do you think so?"
"Sure!" Liu Dehua, Liang Jiahui and Zhong Chuhong also nodded firmly.
"Okay, let's go!" Xia Tian waved his hand.
...
Just as Xia Tian and others were busy conducting publicity, Hong Kong, Liang Botao was also manipulating one billion Hong Kong dollars to suppress wireless stock prices in the stock market.
Due to the public protests and demonstrations, the program's ratings declined, future profit expectations decreased, investment failure scandals, etc., Wireless's stock price has already declined steadily.
Now that he is deliberately suppressing it, it is even worse. The stock price has accelerated and has not risen again. Now each share has fallen to 9 yuan and 20 cents, which has fallen by nearly 60% compared to the highest price of 21 yuan and 50 cents per share. The market value of more than 2 billion Hong Kong dollars has evaporated out of thin air, which makes people frightened when they see it.
"Mr. Liang, the wireless stock price has fallen so badly now. Do we still need to continue to short? In my opinion, don't take risks." Chen Yixin suggested while looking at the stock price displayed on the screen.
The wireless stock price was as high as 21 yuan and 500 yuan before, and that price was indeed a little moisture. But after the continuous decline, the moisture in the stock price had been squeezed out. The price of 9 yuan and 200 yuan per share was actually very low.
Nowadays, Wireless's market value is far lower than the total actual assets. If someone sees cheapness and buys at a low price, Wireless's stock price will inevitably rise. At that time, they short sellers will suffer heavy losses.
"Don't worry, according to my estimate, the lowest price of Wireless can reach 8 yuan. If you absorb it at that time, it will save Mr. Xia more than 60 million Hong Kong dollars." Liang Botao said with a smile.
"Besides, who doesn't know that Mr. Xia is targeting wireless now? Who is brave enough to come and pick up this cheap?! Even if someone really dares to take the blame for the world, I can let him swallow it and spit it out for me no matter how much!" He sneered again.
"Don't forget, we have 6 billion Hong Kong dollars in cash now. Even Li Jiacheng, Guo Bingxiang, and Bao Yugang may not be able to take out so much money. In the stock market, money is capital. Whoever has money will have the right to speak! Don't worry, there will be no problem." Liang Botao said confidently.
Seeing that he was so confident, Chen Yixin was also infected by him, "What should we do next?"
"The next step is to buy us an insurance first." Liang Botao smiled slightly, "Mr. Chen, please come forward and help me with Yorks Fund and the manager of Maisong Fund?"
"What do you see them do?" Chen Yixin asked in confusion when he heard this.
"They now hold 13% of the wireless stocks. If they get it, and then include 30% of the shares circulating in the stock market, we will have more than 40% of the shares. By then, we will be the second largest shareholder of wireless and have the right to send people to the board of directors to influence the operation of wireless TV stations." Liang Botao explained with a smile.
"But Brother Tian had already inquired about it before, so they refused to sell it?" Chen Yixin frowned.
"It's true, but I have a way to convince them." Liang Botao said confidently.
"What method? Is it to increase the purchase price?! Then we will lose a lot?" Chen Yixin curled his lips when he heard this.
He knew that Shao Yifu and Kes Fund and Maisong Fund had an agreement that they would acquire their wireless shares at a price of 21 yuan and 50 cents a year later. The condition was that before that, they would not pursue Fang Yihua's investment failure, nor would they sell their existing shares as the market danced.
Therefore, if you want to buy wireless stocks from KS Fund and Maisong Fund, the price will be more than 21 yuan and 50 cents. The current wireless stock price is only 9 yuan and 20 cents, so this method is very unfavorable. It not only makes the two funds cheaper, but also solves a huge problem for Shao Yifu.
Because in this way, a year later, he would not have to buy back stocks from the two funds at a high price of 21 yuan and 50 cents, avoiding significant economic losses.
"Of course not, I'm not that stupid." Liang Botao waved his hand and smiled.
"Then what do you want to do?" Chen Yixin asked curiously when he heard this.
"I want to do this." Liang Botao briefly explained his plan to Chen Yixin.
"Can those two major funds be willing?" Chen Yixin asked in confusion after hearing this.
"For them, there is no loss for doing this." Liang Botao waved his hand, "For us, there will be no loss in the short term. In the long run, it is also a good thing that benefits outweigh disadvantages."
"Okay, then you can ask Brother Tian for instructions and see if he agrees to do this." Chen Yixin said immediately.
"Yes." Liang Botao nodded.
...
In the afternoon, Liang Botao, Chen Yixin and Zhou Liang Shuyi gathered in the conference room on the top floor of ATV, waiting for Xia Tian to call back.
"Brother Tian made an appointment with us and called us at 1 a.m. US time. Now, it should be almost the same, right?" Chen Yixin said frequently.
"It's almost done. It's almost five o'clock now. Los Angeles time is 16 hours later than Hong Kong time, and it's just a little faster than his side." Liang Botao nodded and said.
"Then why is the phone not ringing now? Could it be that Michelle's retelling is wrong?" Chen Yixin said anxiously again.
Xia Tian went to the United States to promote the movie. Because his whereabouts are not fixed and his mobile phone does not have a roaming function for the time being, he can only use his agent Michel in the United States as a transit station to receive and transmit information, so that he can still maintain close contact with Hong Kong while taking the time to take care of his busy schedule.
"It shouldn't be. How could such a simple thing go wrong?" Zhou Liang Shuyi waved her hand and said.
Michelle is Xia Tian’s agent in North America, responsible for managing his hundreds of millions of dollars in investment business. If she can’t even do this little thing well, then her agent will fail too much.
"Why haven't you called yet?" Chen Yixin said anxiously.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the phone ringing suddenly.
After the three of them were stunned for a moment, Chen Yixin answered the phone.
"Hey, Brother Tian?" he asked in surprise.
After a few seconds of delay, Xia Tian's voice came from the other side of the phone, "It's me."
"Brother Tian, are you pretty good in the United States? Are you tired of promoting movies? It's past one o'clock in the morning now, are you not sleeping yet?" Chen Yixin asked with a smile.
Xia Tian heard his question and rolled his eyes wide. "I'm pretty good in the United States. I just finished the day of publicity and returned to the hotel. Although I was a little tired, it was still worth it. The movie "The Love of Man and Ghost" was previewed for two days and has a very good reputation. I think the box office in the future should be good."
"Great, Brother Tian, congratulations." Chen Yixin smiled happily when he heard this.
When Zhou Liangshuyi and Liang Botao heard Xia Tian say this, they couldn't help but feel very happy for him.
"Thank you." Xia Tian smiled, "Okay, let's talk about it for a long time. How are you doing in Hong Kong? What happened these days when I was not here?"
"Oh, Brother Tian, I will report to you about Wenhe Group first. Several buildings in Kwai Ting Industrial Zone have started construction now. Liu Luanxiong wants to ask you when to start selling houses." Chen Yixin said.
Xia Tian was stunned for a while when he heard him say this.
In fact, he is planning to build a low-rent house and rent it to Hong Kong people at a low price in the future so that they can have tiles covering their heads and no longer suffer from high housing prices.
But although this approach is beneficial to the country and the people, it is not good for him. Because buying land and building buildings requires a lot of money, the return rate of low-rent housing is destined to be terrible, and even if he is the richest man in the world, he may not be able to withstand it. Therefore, Xia Tian has always hoped to get support from the mainland so that he can persist in doing this.
But he told the mainland for nearly two months, and no news has been heard back, so Xia Tian was a little hesitant, not knowing whether to continue doing this.
"Forget it, just think it's a fool and do a good thing. At worst, after the house is completed, it's better to rent it to the people in my company." Xia Tian wanted to give up this slightly Virgin plan, but when he thought about it, he still felt cruel and gritted his teeth.
"Tell Liu Luanxiong that after the house is built, it will only be rented but not sold." Xia Tian ordered.
"Not selling?" Chen Yixin, Liang Botao, and Zhou Liang Shuyi were all surprised when they heard this.
If the house is only rented but not sold, it will probably take decades to recover the cost. It takes so much money and has to pay back huge loans every year. This will face great financial pressure for the company, which is definitely not a good thing.
"Brother Tian, if the house is not sold, how can we recover the cost? Does it really depend on the rent?" Chen Yixin said speechlessly.
"Mr. Xia, only by selling the house can you quickly recover costs and make profits. If you only rent but not sell, you will not only fail to make profits, but on the contrary, you will also have to pay a large amount of interest from the bank." Zhou Liang Shuyi also advised. Although she does not do real estate, she is also familiar with its operation.
If a real estate company wants to make money, it has to take a loan to buy land and build a house. Before the house is built, it will sell the property first. After selling the property, it can recover the cost and profits, and then buy land and build houses and sell the property... Using the funds to the extreme and develop rapidly, you can naturally make a lot of money.
"Don't persuade me anymore, I understand the truth." Xia Tian nodded and said.
Have you never eaten pork or seen pigs running? In his previous life, the real estate industry was one of the most prosperous industries in the mainland. Summer has heard and seen this and has a certain understanding of it. However, despite this, he still wants to do this, even if he does a good job.
"Yixin, we have built those buildings now, and even if we are employee dormitories in the future, let employees of Tianxia Film, ATV, Tianxia Magazine, Tianxia Comics, Mingpao Group and other companies live there, the rent will be 70% of the rent in the same district, even if it is the company's welfare." Xia Tian said then.
"Brother Tian, you are so kind!" Chen Yixin couldn't help but say when he heard this.
In Hong Kong, rent is very expensive. The monthly rent of a house worth 40 or 50 square meters is more than 3,000 Hong Kong dollars. Reducing rent in summer by 30% is equivalent to saving employees 1,000 Hong Kong dollars per month. Ordinary Hong Kong workers have a monthly salary of only about 3,000 yuan, so one thousand yuan is really a considerable amount of money.
If rents outside increase in the future, they will save more money for employees in the summer, so they are really a kind and righteous boss.
"Oh, don't say that. If Sir Shao hadn't provided me with a dormitory, I would have wandered on the streets." Xia Tian said, "Now I have money, it's good to repay everyone."
"Mr. Xia, you are so admirable to me." Zhou Liangshuyi couldn't help but say with emotion when she heard Xia Tian say this.
Bosses have always made money by exploiting and oppressing laborers, and they wish they could make more money for themselves and less salary from their pockets. However, it is great to be able to think about employees and provide them with cheap houses in the summer.
"Don't say that." Xia Tian smiled and said, "Yi Xin, Zhou Tai, you will go back and draft a charter to see how to allocate those houses. Be sure to be fair and reasonable so that everyone can convince you."
"Yes, Brother Tian."
