Reborn Capital Madman

Charles Bludorn digested the analysis results given by Gao Xian and finally said, "As inflation rises, film production costs will also increase accordingly. It is not easy to make money."

Gao Xian smiled. Of course what Charles Bludorn said was correct. However, his investment in each movie was well-targeted and he could ignore the profit pressure brought about by the increase in production costs.

Charles Bludorn turned the topic to the movie "Star Wars" again, "How is the renovation of the Sands Hotel in Las Vegas going?"

"Everything goes well and the premiere of the "Star Wars" movie will not be delayed." Gao Xian urged bluntly: "Paramount must give sufficient support to the marketing advertising of "Star Wars", otherwise, I will personally intervene.

Already."

This is not surprising. Previously, including "The Godfather" and other movies, Paramount did not have enough resources to do marketing and advertising according to the standard required by Gao Xian, so Gao Xian provided additional support, and the final result was also very stingy.

On the one hand, the face is dull.

In short, Gao Xian has strong capital, and his right to speak will inevitably become more and more important.

"I will give Barry Diller greater authority. After all, I am also quite looking forward to Gulf Western Industries' stock price reaching new highs." Charles Bludorn gave a clear response.

…

After reaching an agreement with Charles Bludorn on the movie "Star Wars", Gao Xian got a message from David Rockefeller. According to him, "If I had known that Sir Gao intended to enter the US banking industry, I would have

Now comes an opportunity to match your wish. Ocean Millennium Bank, headquartered in Buffalo, upstate New York, is in operating difficulties. Many shareholders are not opposed to the arrangement of being acquired. You might as well get in touch early, maybe you can get a satisfactory harvest.

.”

By the way, it should be pointed out that David Rockefeller provided this information for his own policy background.

As the Carter cabinet, which appointed many heavyweight liberals to important positions, came to power, the regulatory level in the United States was further relaxed.

Take the U.S. banking industry as an analogy. In the past, foreign capital could not hold a controlling stake, but now it is gradually possible. It is even feasible for foreign capital to turn it into a wholly-owned subsidiary.

A businessman's perspective is naturally to see the regulatory policies before they are implemented, so the information provided by David Rockefeller is quite valuable.

Soon, more comprehensive information about Ocean Milan Bank was placed on Gao Xian's desk.

Speaking of which, Ocean Millennium Bank has a long history. It was founded in 1850. From the "Ocean" in the name, it is not difficult to guess that the original business was mainly related to shipping. After several mergers and reorganizations, it has developed to

Today, it has about 300 branches, a complete network, and ranks among the top 20 in the entire U.S. banking industry.

Ocean Millennium Bank's main business scope is in New York State. Its business is to absorb deposits and issue consumer credit and small and medium-sized enterprise loans. It usually operates steadily, but during the economic crisis caused by the world oil crisis from 1974 to 1975

During the severe recession, non-performing loans increased significantly. In the past 1976, profit levels dropped to $12 million, ranking last in the U.S. banking industry's return on capital.

Seeing that it could not get out of the predicament on its own, Ocean Mile Bank began to hope to attract foreign aid.

To use a vernacular to describe this situation, if someone is willing to spend $600 million, they can buy out the entire Ocean Mile Bank.

Of course, this is just a theory. After all, there are regulatory restrictions, and the shareholders of Ocean Mile Bank may not be willing to completely exit the bank with just one transaction.

In Gao Xian's view, if Benefit Bank can gain control of Ocean Millan Bank, it means that it will have a pretty good foothold in the North American banking industry.

In addition, John Whitehead's Goldman Sachs consulting service report to Gao Xian also pointed out something that Gao Xian did not notice, that is, an acquisition agreement was signed between Ocean Mile Bank and First Pennsylvania Bank

, that is to say, if Gao Xian acquires Ocean Millennium Bank, he can rely on this agreement to further acquire First Pennsylvania Bank, thereby expanding his business scope to the larger northeastern United States.

In the following time, Gao Xian contacted the board of directors of Ocean Millan Bank to get a preliminary understanding.

Currently, Ocean Millennium Bank is in operating difficulties, and its stock price is less than ten dollars. If you want to really impress the shareholders of Ocean Millennium Bank, you must at least double the offer, and it cannot be less than twenty dollars per share.

Gao Xian made a quick calculation in a small disguise, and then his thoughts about acquiring Ocean Millan Bank suddenly faded away.

As for the current poor management of Ocean Millennium Bank, everything will be fine by just spending a few hundred million dollars to acquire it. It also needs continuous blood transfusions to get out of the predicament, and the United States definitely takes it for granted - you are a

It is no longer normal for outsiders to come to the United States to share the pie and pay more.

Because of the real-life example of Benefit Bank, Gao Xian has personal experience of the true meaning of "blood transfusion", and describing it as a "bottomless pit" is not an exaggeration.

Moreover, in the coming years, "pitfalls" in the U.S. banking industry should continue to appear.

In contrast, Gao Xian has been involved in the American capital circle in the form of Red Stone Fund, Blue Stone Fund, etc., and he can advance, attack, retreat and defend with ease.

After all, Gao Xian still has hidden worries in Hong Kong. He is worried that Hui Feng Bank, Jardine Matheson Group, the Hong Kong government and other top entities in Hong Kong will stumble, just like the previous increase in the stamp tax on transactions in the securities industry in Hong Kong from 4%.

Raising it to 8% is the same as suppressing the stock market. The tactics are so upright that people have no room to resist.

When the name of Hui Feng Bank flashed through his mind, Gao Xian couldn't help but feel moved in his heart.

Since Hui Feng Bank put a halter on Gao Xian's wild horse through Yongli Bank, Gao Xian can definitely follow suit and put a halter on Hui Feng Bank through Ocean Mile Bank.

You know, Hui Feng Bank is operating so well in Xiangjiang that there is not much room for growth. It can only further develop and grow through internationalization.

Shen Bi, who has officially served as the chief executive of HSBC this year, has been making a fuss about internationalization. The new official has launched the so-called "three-legged stool" strategy, which means Huifeng Bank will establish strongholds in Asia, Europe and the Americas.

After considering the idea several times, Gao Xian immediately informed Chen Zuze, the general manager of New Bank in Hong Kong, "I got an excellent opportunity for the internationalization of Bank in New York. You inform Huifeng Bank, Standard Chartered

The bank, Jardine Matheson and other bank board members are preparing to hold a meeting, and I will seize the time to start discussions as soon as I return to Hong Kong."

I bow and thank my book friends for their time and reward!!!
