Chapter 276 What is a professional gang (owed 158)

(The monthly ticket price has not increased for a long time, which is ridiculous!)

Are death threats scary?

Scary!

What's scarier than a death threat?

It's death!

What’s scarier than death?

Many people couldn't answer it, at least not the people from the underground forces in Los Angeles before.

Everyone thinks there is nothing scarier than death!

But now, everyone understands.

You can’t see people alive, you can’t see corpses after death!

A living person suddenly disappeared!

No one knows what happened to these people.

No trace of blood could be found.

The unknown is often the scariest thing.

Worry, fear, fear of 'disappearing' and finding yourself.

…

"I was in a hurry yesterday, so I didn't forget to ask you, what did you think of building a gymnasium?" Shen Bi pulled Sean and asked: "No, do you know what a gymnasium really means? "

"What does it mean?" Sean was confused by Shen Bi's question.

"What kind of stadium do you want to build?"

"The basketball stadium, um, can also be used as an ice hockey stadium, and it can be used for concerts."

Shen Bi looked Sean up and down. He was a British guy and lived on Hong Kong Island. If he said he was familiar with football and basketball, he would be making things difficult for the old man.

But, "Okay, I'm not interested in basketball or anything like that, but I want to ask you how many people are you going to build a stadium for?"

"20000."

"Ha!" Shen Bi mocked, "Then do you know how much it costs to build a stadium with a capacity of 20,000 people?"

Sean blinked, he really didn't know this, "How many more can I, Sean, not be able to build!?"

"I tell you, it's more expensive than building a skyscraper!"

"Ah?" Sean was startled. He just suddenly had this desire, but he really didn't pay attention to the specific cost.

Sean really didn't understand this.

The cost of building large indoor sports venues is indeed very high.

The main reason is that the construction difficulty and technology are much higher than ordinary skyscrapers.

The Madison Square Garden Arena built in 1968 also had a capacity of 20,000 and cost $123 million.

This was almost 20 years ago.

In fact, the future construction cost of the slightly smaller Staples Center 10 years later will be an exaggerated US$375 million.

Even now, if Sean wants to build a modern, advanced multi-functional arena, the final cost will be around US$300 million!

This is not like an ordinary real estate project that can be sold to raise funds, which is impossible for sports venues.

Sports venues all rely on leasing to make money. Of course, the utilization rate of Staples Center and Madison Square Garden is extremely high, about 300 days a year.

It is still very profitable to make money.

"I don't know the specific cost, but yesterday I briefly searched for information and the estimated cost will be no less than US$250 million." As he spoke, Shen Bi raised his lips and stared at Sean and said, "And you, now, don't have money!"

"No..." Sean scratched his hair, "Aren't you helping me clean up those properties? Aren't you helping me get the funds back?"

"How long does it take? How can it be so fast!" Shen Bi rolled his eyes, "Including HSBC, your debt is a fucking US$1.854 billion. Oh, no."

"Monroe is actually too kind. He is afraid that you won't be able to bear it and say too little." Shen Bi sneered a few times, "You opened your mouth to buy New Century Media. Did you have money at that time? You didn't, what the hell are you? Even the first payment is owed."

"The initial payment was close to 600 million, and the more than 500 million used were depositors' deposits. All of this has to be paid back. He didn't include it for you. In fact, you owe as much as 2.2 billion. The entire New Century Media They are all empty-handed."

"Didn't I just get 500 million back?" Sean immediately became anxious. How come there are more and more of them? I have become a big loser?

"Aren't you going to buy Husky Energy?"

"It's impossible to use it all on Husky Energy. Can't we still get a loan?"

"This doesn't mean we need to increase loans. What's the difference?"

"Uh... Then we can also mobilize some cash." Under Shen Bi's close gaze, Sean's voice became smaller and smaller.

"No, where did my money go? Why don't I know?"

"You are..." Shen Bi was speechless, "The main investment is New Century Media Company. It cost 1.1 billion just to acquire you."

"No, I remember that many debts were paid with oil. The oil obtained from Lao Sa is not that expensive."

"Shut up now." Shen Bi waved his hand impatiently, "The oil you owe for the first share transaction has not been paid off yet."

"The subsequent payments are all in cash. The first payment from Lynch was US$300 million. The US$400 million is considered a deposit and is temporarily left in Sean's Bank. But the deposit is no debt? No interest payment is required? In fact, Your bank simply can’t come up with that 400 million, it’s just a bunch of empty numbers, and then you keep making additional investments and acquiring local TV stations. This is all fucking money, if it hadn’t been given to you by HSBC. If you make 800 million, you will already be bankrupt."

"Okay, let's see the specific figures after you check the accounts. Anyway, you owe so much money. It doesn't make much sense whether to get a loan for the newly arrived 500 million yuan to acquire Husky. The purpose of your bank is to support Expand your own company.”

"This time was originally to clean up your messy industries and use the funds to build a headquarters in Newark and develop commercial buildings in Los Angeles. If you want to build a stadium, that will be another big investment."

"So, where is the money from HSBC last time? Didn't you get it back?" Sean moved to Shen Bi and gave him a light elbow.

Shen Bi looked at Sean cross-eyed and annoyed. When he talked about this, he remembered that this guy kidnapped him.

Hem home shovel!

"Don't think about it." Shen Bi snorted, "The amount is too big, it needs to be slowly put on the market for cleaning, and it cannot enter the United States. The United States has the strictest inspections on money, and it is directly released when the company is registered. In duty-free ports or in Colombia, the money is better spent investing in ports in other countries around the world.”

"Anyway, you are the boss of the company, and both have a protective umbrella and the United States behind them. There is not much difference."

"Okay." Sean said, "Even if it is cleaned up now, you will have to allocate funds when you invest in ports and terminals in other countries in the future. It really doesn't make much sense, and it is easy to be targeted by the IRS."

"Anyway, I've decided to build the gymnasium. Even Jesus can't stop it. Isn't it just 300 million? Man, if you squeeze in, there will always be something."

Shen Bi glanced sideways at Sean and was too lazy to speak, but he could still squeeze out.

Shen Bi is really optimistic about investing in projects like stadiums. He has never been exposed to other projects, but he said that the Hong Kong Coliseum, good guy, makes a lot of money every year.

At the same time, a large amount of passenger flow can drive up the value of surrounding land, which causes the stadium itself to also appreciate in value.

This is a good real estate investment.

Once completed, a large sum of money can be loaned simply by mortgaging the annual income.

"So, how much money do I need now to fill the holes in the United States?" Sean thought for a while and asked again.

"You don't need to worry about the domestic side. Once I help you deal with all the messy industries, the hole will be basically blocked. The only thing left is oil to repay the loan. As long as you can guarantee that Lao Sa will not tear up the agreement, It’s not a big problem.”

"What you need to worry about is that HSBC suddenly calls for debt, which is 1.1 billion. HSBC is already jumping on the bandwagon." Shen Bi laughed, and everyone was stunned when the new president came to power.

Check the treasury, the 1.1 billion deposit is gone!

One of the collaterals is three docks that have not been put into use, and the other is a contract.

Who did you tell that this thing is worth 1.1 billion? No one believed it!

My head is buzzing.

In order to keep HSBC running smoothly and avoid huge turbulence, we now don't even dare to clean up the contacts Shen Bi left in the company as originally planned.

HSBC is the bank that issues Hong Kong banknotes. If this were exposed, just think about it, the Hong Kong dollar would plummet in the foreign exchange market.

I really can't bear it.

"I'm telling you, if I use financial means to do the accounting for you, I can turn your debt into 3 billion." Shen Bi turned his head and looked at Sean with a malicious look on his face.

"Okay, stop talking!" Sean quickly raised his hand to stop Shen Bi.

These financial guys are all dirty!

It was rare for Shen Bi to see Xiao En frustrated and he laughed heartily.

"You, if you have time, let the fleet roam around Southeast Asia more. When will the new warships be launched? The show of force must still be shown, otherwise HSBC will have to collect debts in advance after it recovers."

"Yeah, yeah." Sean nodded repeatedly, "It's almost time, it's almost time, we will form a missile frigate formation and go to Hong Kong Island!"

"money?"

"Hey, have you seen those launchers? Come and read with me, dao, dan!"

Sean's mind was wandering, so he turned around and took some time to wander around the rabbit.

Rabbit is so short of foreign exchange that he's going crazy. There's nothing that Rabbit doesn't dare to sell at this time.

Even the United States has never dared to sell medium-range missiles. Rabbit is really crazy!
