Siheyuan: I have a multi-dimensional chat group!

Of course not!

Just as Berg was about to refuse, Xiao Shan interrupted him, saying, "Within a year, Taishan will buy at least three times the amount of woodland, with Goldman Sachs handling all the leverage. How about that?"

Berg immediately swallowed his words back.

It has to be said that Xiaoshan really presented him with a difficult problem.

They were both tempted by the interest rates and worried about something going wrong.

Once this loan is issued, wouldn't he be praying to God at home every day?

“Within six months, buy another 2 acres of forest! This 2 acres will not offer any leverage!” Berg said through gritted teeth. “In addition, within a year, buy 4 acres of forest, this 4 acres will offer ten times leverage, and we must use Goldman Sachs’ leverage!”

In this way, each 2 acres is kept at a stable leverage of ten times, and Goldman Sachs' major risk period is only six months.

Canada is located in the Northern Hemisphere, and its northern part has a tundra climate. It will be covered in snow from the second half of the year to the beginning of next year, and it rarely rains. The forest on Mount Tai should not have been struck by lightning!

Of course, by risking a 20x leverage, Berg would rather be struck by lightning himself than have the forest struck.

"Okay!" Xiao Shan nodded in agreement.

With 40 acres of forest, the amount of logging is sufficient for Taishan's needs, and the downstream raw material supply will also provide strong industry competitiveness.

The main reason Xiaoshan is taking this risk is that the price of forest land is bound to rise in the future.

Once the mainland market is fully opened up, the huge demand will cause forest land prices to skyrocket.

If the mainland is destined to bleed, Xiaoshan would rather have Taishan Group suck the blood than be sucked by other countries or companies.

“I wish us a pleasant collaboration!” Berg said stiffly.

"It's a pleasure to cooperate!" Xiao Shan actually meant to say "I wish you peace," but then changed the subject and asked, "How much longer will it take for the Ziwei Culture Media Group to complete its closed-loop project?"

"Within a month!" Berg was clearly not too concerned about it.

Goldman Sachs abandoned its idea of ​​taking over the company once it had established a closed-loop system.

With the shareholding structure so tightly encrypted, I'm too lazy to bother with it anymore.

Chapter 653, The Media Loop is Finally Completed! (Please Subscribe!)

In early November 77.

The group, which was renamed Ziwei Culture Media, had its equity structure encrypted and ultimately consolidated into a company called "Taishan Holdings".

Also under Taishan Holdings is "Changsheng Industrial Manufacturing Group," and the renowned Taishan Toy Factory has been renamed Guangshou Toy Factory.

At the same time, Taishan Printing Factory was renamed Guangshou Printing Factory, and the manufacturing plant of Taishan Games was also renamed Guangshou Games Manufacturing Plant.

Projects related to industry and manufacturing should be handled by specific industrial and manufacturing companies.

Ziwei Media only needs to be responsible for media, and the game company should focus on game research and development, without having to handle logistics or other matters unrelated to the project.

Each link in the chain has a specific company responsible for any problems that arise, and group managers cannot be involved in every aspect.

Clearly defining the job responsibilities of each individual, company, and group is also the most crucial link in the closed loop.

During this period, Taishan Group finally calmed down.

However, unlike what the people of Hong Kong saw, the Hong Kong business elites saw a monster gradually hiding its body in the deep sea.

Companies and groups with seemingly random names often have a deeper meaning.

Previously, Taishan Group was a group of sister companies with some connections, but now the five fingers are clenched into a fist, and if it punches anyone, they will vomit blood.

Meanwhile, some observant people have also noticed that Changsheng Industrial Manufacturing Group has been making quite a few small moves.

They successively established or acquired a number of industrial and manufacturing factories, expanding their number of factories to 16 and employing a massive 4000 workers.

Ziwei Culture Media Group can be likened to an elegant and graceful young woman holding a beautiful sword.

Then Changsheng Industrial Manufacturing Group is like a burly and powerful man, wielding a giant axe.

There was nothing fancy about it; every step was a solid footprint.

While enjoying the capital bubble, it is also important to solidify the foundation of the business so that it can grow more and more steadily.

At the same time, Sony began to try to develop small recorders.

However, they were dealt a direct blow by Taishan Group.

Under the guidance of Xiaoshan, the technicians of Guangshou Toy Factory took the lead in developing the "personal portable music player" technology.

Listening to the music coming from the headphones, Xiao Shan finally couldn't help but smile.

Whether it's industry and manufacturing, or financial services, future technology will inevitably become the mainstream in all industries.

Looking at the excited R&D staff in front of him, Xiao Shan's joy gradually disappeared.

The development speed of electronic products is extremely fast, and the obsolescence speed is also incredibly fast.

This size of portable music player is still too big.

Although it can be carried around, it is still not very convenient, and it is completely different from the pocket player that Xiaoshan remembers.

However, it is sufficient for the present.

Xiao Shan took off his headphones and looked at You Kebin, the factory manager of Guangshou Toy Factory, and asked, "How much capital would be needed for large-scale production?"

You Kebin's face darkened, and he replied, "Headphones, magnetic heads, circuits, transmission, speakers, software, and chips. The most expensive part is the imported CNC machine tools, each costing $6. We also need to obtain a patent license from Philips for their tape recorders..."

"We'll throw money at Philips' licensing and CNC machine tools. The group won't take a cut of the revenue from Rubik's Cube and Taishan Cube anymore. All of it will be invested in the production of Walkmans. I want to see results within a month!" Xiao Shan said to You Kebin.

You Kebin nodded: "Okay, boss!"

Meanwhile, Mr. Zou was looking at Jiahe's accounts with a heavy heart.

Since Taishan Cinema Line began its strong consolidation of cinema chains, numerous affiliated cinema chains, large and small, have abandoned Jiahe Cinema.

Once it had 19 affiliated cinema chains, in less than six months, only 8 cinemas belonging to Golden Harvest remained.

The exodus of affiliated cinemas has led to a decrease in the number of films shown at Golden Harvest.

Low profits, few viewers, and a lack of support – this is the current situation that Golden Harvest wants to change but cannot.

Seeing no way to defeat Taishan, some of Jiahe's minority shareholders are already considering selling their shares to raise cash for other, more profitable industries, rather than having their funds tied up in a deadly battle with Taishan.

Beset by internal and external troubles, and facing an overwhelming situation, Boss Zou felt completely helpless.

Now that no shareholders are willing to invest in Golden Harvest, how can Golden Harvest win this war that may last for an unknown period of time without funds?

Just as Mr. Zou was having a headache, the receptionist came to report that Xiaoshan was looking for him!

Upon hearing that Xiao Shan had come looking for him, how could Boss Zou not know why the other party had come?

After a wry smile, Boss Zou asked the receptionist to invite Xiao Shan to his office.

Upon seeing Boss Zou, Xiao Shan smiled and said, "I'm sorry, Boss Zou, I came uninvited this time!"

"Please sit down, Mr. Xiao!" Boss Zou gestured for Xiao Shan to sit. "May I ask what brings you here today, Mr. Xiao?"

Chapter 654, Acquiring Golden Harvest! (Please subscribe!)

As a loser, Mr. Zou really dislikes facing the winner.

In particular, he felt that Xiaoshan's victory was not honorable.

Whether it was abolishing the minimum guarantee system to benefit film companies or introducing Hollywood blockbusters to reap the rewards of Hong Kong's local box office, these were things that Mr. Zou and Mr. Shaw never did, no matter how fiercely they fought.

Moreover, Mount Tai's true victory was won through sheer hard-earned money.

It was also because Jiahe's shareholders lacked the strength to continue; otherwise, Mr. Zou would not have believed that he would have been defeated so easily.

Sensing Mr. Zou's reluctance, Xiao Shan said nonchalantly, "The main reason for this visit is to find a leader for Ziwei Film Industry. I wonder if Mr. Zou would be interested in helping me?"

"Help you?" Boss Zou was immediately taken aback.

In fact, Xiaoshan started with Taishan Film Industry, but has never found a qualified manager for it.

Jiang Zhiqiang is very capable of managing cinema chains, but he is not a good commander. He is not familiar with the quality of movies and scripts, nor with the unspoken rules of filmmaking.

The bald guy does have the ability, but unfortunately he's too self-serving and doesn't genuinely love movies; he just wants to make money through them.

You can join today because you can make money from movies, and you can leave tomorrow because you can make money in other industries.

For the bald guy, this is understandable, but for Taishan, changing coaches midway is extremely disadvantageous.

Therefore, despite the bald guy's good performance, Xiao Shan only gave him the authority to manage his film studio.

The position of general manager of the film company was left vacant rather than be filled by him.

Throughout Mr. Zou's life, although he came from the radio industry and mainly worked in television, he made his mark in the film industry.

No matter how stingy Zou Daheng was, he did justice to Golden Harvest Film Company.

"You want me to do things for you?" Boss Zou laughed angrily.

Even though Golden Harvest is now in dire straits, it will not bow down to its rivals.

With the land holding eight cinemas and numerous film copyrights under its ownership, selling it for tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars wouldn't be a problem.

Even if Mr. Zou didn't work in the film industry, he could still be a rich man and live a good life.

"It's helping me, and it's also helping yourself!" Xiao Shan explained. "The Taishan Media system is about to close, and so will the cultural industries under Taishan. If you agree to become the general manager of Ziwei Film Industry, you can merge Golden Harvest with Ziwei Film Industry for HK$2 million and reorganize it into Ziwei Cultural Media Group."

"If you refuse to take the position of general manager, Ziwei Films will not merge with Golden Harvest! Once the restructuring of Ziwei Cultural Media Group is completed, both TVB and Golden Harvest will face unprecedented suppression!"

Xiao Shan's words were by no means a threat. After the restructuring, the media sector will inevitably face a life-or-death struggle with TVB.

The cultural industry, backed by the entire media system, will naturally target its competitors to expand its own strength.

The publishing houses are a mess, with numerous and diverse copyrights. It will take time to gradually absorb and eliminate them.

The only sector that could be quickly crippled was cinema chains, and Golden Harvest was naturally the first to be hit.

This is already the best solution!

After considering for a long time, Mr. Zou asked, "What is the valuation of Ziwei Culture Media after the closed-loop system is established?"

Jiahe was valued at 2 million yuan, and after the restructuring, it needs to know how many shares it will be able to hold.

It's clear that Mr. Zou is already interested in accepting the acquisition.

“50 billion Hong Kong dollars!” Xiao Shan answered without hesitation.

"50 billion!" Boss Zou's eyelids twitched. After thinking for a moment, he replied, "Okay! I will merge it into Ziwei Pictures before the closed loop is completed. Before that, please don't release any information, Mr. Xiao!"

"Hahaha!" Xiao Shan burst into laughter. "I've come to Jiahe openly and honestly, and I'm sure Jiahe's shareholders have already received the news. If you want to take this opportunity to acquire shares from other shareholders, it won't be so easy!"

Who in Xiaoshan doesn't know what Boss Zou is thinking?

However, the goal is to increase its stake in Jiahe Shares as much as possible before the merger, and to gain a larger share in Ziwei Culture Media after the merger.

The saying "Every man for himself" applies here, and it's perfectly understandable to do this.

"No way!" Boss Zou shook his head and chuckled. "They won't know! I built Jiahe from scratch. Without my approval, no news can get out of here!"

Xiao Shan smiled and nodded, but a hint of wariness flashed in his eyes.

Although Golden Harvest is not a one-man show run by Mr. Zou, his control over Golden Harvest Pictures is astonishing!

Boss Zou wanted to swindle Jiahe's shareholders, but Xiaoshan didn't care.

Shareholders of the same company are not necessarily friends; in the business world, they are driven by interests.

If it's advantageous to confront Mount Tai, then confront it; if it's not, then selling your shares and investing in other industries is also a viable option.

However, since Mr. Zou had another, better way out, he naturally wanted to plan for his own benefit.

Mr. Zou's control over Jiahe has indeed shocked Xiaoshan.

It can be said that the other shareholders are already being manipulated by him, and any news can only be known after his approval.

Chapter 655, Weekend Claw Machine Game! (Please subscribe!)

However, after merging with Ziwei Pictures, Xiao Shan was not worried about Boss Zou holding all the power.

Not to mention that Baldy, Chan Suk-fan, and Chiang Chi-chung aren't Boss Zou's people, there are also people like Hung Tai-bo and Leung Po-chi who left Golden Harvest.

If Boss Zou does anything improper, Xiaoshan will find out.

Moreover, after the restructuring into Ziwei Media, Mr. Zou's shares will be diluted to a minimum, making it a one-man show by Taishan Holdings.
