Chapter 1727 Falling to the point of doubting life
The idea of laying out the energy industry was only created after Han Xuan’s net worth exceeded 500 billion US dollars.
Other industries have almost completed their layout and have extra money in hand, so he began to shift his attention to the oil and gas fields. The Middle East was intervened by various forces, and he did not want to mix in the muddy waters, so he chose Siberia, the Far East, and the northwest and south of Russia and Europe, which are rich in oil and gas resources, as strategic development zones.
He already owns a super large mine accompanied by gold, silver and copper. Ordinary small minerals cannot enter his eyes. He is a little interested in diamond mines in Africa, but the profits in the mining process are limited.
In addition, with the recent civil war broke out in the African Republic of Sierra Leone, and diamond smuggling incidents have spread to Western countries. Many people have begun to boycott diamonds spontaneously, calling them "blood diamonds". Han Xuan had long known that the diamond industry was not clean. After thinking about it, he finally chose the investment target as oil and gas fields.
In addition to hoarding oil and gas fields now and waiting for the reasons for appreciation soon, the reason for intervening in this industry is more because Han Xuan has recently begun to subconsciously try to prove in his subconscious that even without experience in his previous life, he can still achieve commercial success.
China, Japan, South Korea and other countries in East Asia are all oil-poor countries, with huge market demand, and it will be much more convenient to ship from Siberia, but the early investment is relatively large. After considering it, Han Xuan believed that with his own strength, he would be enough to get a piece of the existing interest groups in European and American countries, and it would be fine to cooperate with those large oil companies.
This project has just begun. Just like investing in minerals in the Mongolian Republic, there is no effect in less than five years. Today, Han Xuan only cares about Time Warner Group...
All departments, including the heads of the public relations department of Xueshan Group, came to listen to Han Xuan and Executive Officer Anthony and others discussing how to initiate the acquisition of Time Warner Group.
The company is in a crisis. In the past two days, the market value of a large number of companies has dropped the Fed's profit for two or three years. I heard that the small boss is preparing to take big moves at this time, so people can only be speechless and sigh at Han Xuan's big heart.
Facing a company with a market value of over 100 billion US dollars and a company with nearly 20% of the US media channels, everyone here is very troubled. Judging from the current liquidity scale of Time Warner Group with more than 6 billion US dollars, it has strong risk resistance.
Even if Han Xuan's idea successfully suppresses Time Warner Group's stock price, how to acquire stocks from those shareholders is also a big issue worth considering. If a part of the stock is acquired, but the development is insufficient, it can only be suppressed by the largest shareholder with voting rights everywhere, that would be a joke.
...
The meeting has been going on for a while.
At this moment, Han Xuan sat next to the huge oval conference table and said, "If you do it simply, you will definitely encounter strong resistance. People feel that our company is already very large and do not want to see our power continue to grow.
Now, we should discuss how to pass the Federal Department of Commerce, and how to prevent all forces from preventing us from forcibly acquiring Time Warner Group. Who has a good idea?”
"There is no good idea, so I think I should borrow shell companies to acquire them, or help through middlemen.
Although it would cost a lot of extra money to ask the middlemen to help, it would save a lot of unnecessary trouble, and we would just hide behind the scenes."
After thinking about it, Executive Anthony continued to say again: "That can't be hidden from some people's eyes, they will find us.
At that time, you only need to convince some people and give them enough benefits to let them understand that after Time Warner Group is acquired by you, it will also benefit them themselves, so that the resistance will be much smaller.
There will be certain losses in the early stage, but in the long run, it will be worth it, and what you pay will be taken back in the end.
I suggest that when you are ready, you will be more ruthless in promoting negative news about Time Warner Group. The lower its value, the greater the money it will save when it acquires.
However, we must be prepared to prevent Time Warner Group from using their publicity channels and retaliating against us. We cannot rush to take action, we must be prepared first.
If we had not leaked our idea of trying to acquire Time Warner Group in advance, we could have hid in secret and spread the news, but now it is impossible, and they must have known that we are taking action.
I have to win over enough allies, and I think it would be a good idea to talk to the enemies of Time Warner Group."
Han Xuan smiled and told: "I think the same as mine. My colleagues are enemies. I believe that News Group and Viacom Group will be happy to see Time Warner Group's bad reputation and market value that may not be recovered in several years. They can take the opportunity to seize the current market belonging to Time Warner Group.
These are very beneficial to those companies. I believe they will not mind handing over the down-and-out Time Warner Group to me for disposal. It will be beneficial to both of us. I don’t mind at all when I take control of Time Warner Group, its strength is not as strong as it is now.
They are all hungry wolves who kill without blinking. You can guess without thinking that they will be blackmailed a lot this time. It is indeed very troublesome. It’s better to invest in those small companies to save trouble..."
In the next few days, the Nasdaq index recovered to more than 120 points after a four-day climb.
Stock investors just thought that a storm had passed and a good time to buy at the bottom was coming. However, half an hour after the opening of the morning of December 13, the Nasdaq index fell to a new valley bottom again, and hundreds of billions of dollars of funds evaporated rapidly.
In the past few days, Han Xuan successfully cashed out more than 42 billion US dollars, and his holdings still have a lot, but he is already satisfied and has reduced the intensity of selling. Too many outstanding shares on the market will cause trouble in the future. He does not want to cause greater losses in the future because of immediate interests.
He has been busy in recent days, mainly about Time Warner Group. When it was implemented, Han Xuan realized how much resistance was.
As the largest media group in the United States, this company has its power throughout the political and business circles. If it weren't for seeing the huge interests in it, even Soros would not be willing to mess with it. But this time, he still couldn't help but promised Han Xuanhui to help.
Han Xuan felt that he was ready, and he joined forces with many huge interest groups... to short Time Warner Group!
As early as yesterday, Time Warner, who noticed that the wind was not right, used its TV station to announce the news that Han Xuan sold a large number of Internet industry stocks. Perhaps he was unwilling to wait for the disaster to come, so he began to fight back.
However, Han Xuan didn't care. Last night, he also used his father's ab TV station to publish a report on a new round of Internet speedup. He posted a text on his personal Weibo @Time Warner Group's official official account and said: "If you don't buy new equipment from Cisco, your market value may drop by half. You are already too far behind and it will be difficult to catch up."
This morning, companies such as destiny, wow and others fell sharply, and Time Warner Group's stock fell to a circuit breaker within ten minutes of opening the market!
A large group of people were stunned when they saw this! The directors who fell to Time Warner Group doubted their lives!
Chapter completed!
