Chapter 1013 Are you being targeted?
The Sun Valley Conference has been widely affected.
More than 300 business elites from across the United States participated.
Why are there 300 people? Because the conference hall in Sun Valley can only accommodate these people at most.
Usually, Bill Gates will only stay for one day at most when attending such gatherings. However, when Bill Gates will stay here for 5 days with his wife and children.
As Michael Eisner said: “The Sun Valley Conference is both a summer camp and a scholarly exam.”
The organizer Heb Allen is a real gentleman who always speaks in a casual manner and listens carefully. Such people are often easily respected by others.
"As an old company with a long history, the biggest problem is bureaucracy." When communicating with Donn, Hebrew Allen made public some of the shortcomings of Allen's company without any concern. "After I took over the company, I canceled all the committees of all sizes in the company. Speaking of which, there is also your factor."
"I?"
Tang En was a little surprised.
It is difficult to tell whether the other party is deliberately complimenting.
Heb Allen laughed: "At present, there are only two committees left in the Allen company, the Fire Prevention Committee and the Sexual Harassment Committee. The Fire Prevention Committee does not need to be mentioned more. This is determined by the geographical location of Sun Valley. Sexual Harassment... In the early years, this concept did not exist, at least it was not exaggerated. Because of your promotion, the feminist trend is becoming more and more prosperous. This is of course a good thing, and I am happy to see more protection of women's rights."
Tang En was ashamed.
I can't tell the difference between the other person's words.
However, such a way of speaking in the spring breeze and rain is really comfortable.
The big names in Hollywood are either domineering and sharp, flattering, or old-fashioned... In short, the attitude of deliberately "expressing" is very strong.
Heb Allen was able to gather all the talents and set up the Sun Valley Conference for business alliances, which was really approachable.
Moreover, he was humble enough: "My role in Allen's company is to oversee the company and prevent the company from becoming too large."
"It's getting too big?" Tang En humbly asked for advice, "Isn't it supposed?"
Heb Allen said: "New Global is running products, we run customer relationships. If you are not a small company, you can't really focus on customer relationships. I don't think there is a company on Wall Street that has ever improved its business performance by scale. Morgan Stanley is a great small company, and Solomon is a great small company."
Tang En smiled and said, "It would be better for companies on Wall Street to become bigger and stronger. If a large company makes a mistake, the regulatory authorities will at most punish them and can continue to operate after a while. If it is a small company, it may go bankrupt directly."
Heb Allen also showed good humorous cells, "Maybe that's why those companies on Wall Street are getting bigger and bigger."
For Don Eun, this trip to Sun Valley seemed to be a portrayal of his conversation with Heb Allen.
He did not make any practical moves, and he also relied on Google to deal with News Corp.
However, it has very important significance.
In the past, Tang En mainly operated in the media circle and entertainment circle, and at most a fashion circle was added.
This time at the Sun Valley Conference, Tang En met many people.
He has known at least 80 of the top 100 richest people in the United States!
There are oil tycoons, real estate tycoons, steel tycoons, super farmers, and many elites in many industries such as the automobile industry, aerospace industry, military industry, beverage industry, navigation industry, etc.
Every successful person has the inevitable element of their success.
Everyone has the advantages that Tang En can learn.
He is still young and he still has a long way to go.
He needs enough growth.
Of course, this is not affected by the current situation of his basic living in Hollywood.
...
Tang En is rich!
To be more precise, his cash flow is full again!
After returning from Sun Valley, he is working hard to complete a major event that New Global Group is currently paying close attention to - dividends!
A full $5 billion in dividends!
Now, Xin Global has a total of US$12 billion on its books.
Compared with the US$2.5 billion in working capital in early 2004, it has been a significant increase.
Of course, debt has also increased further.
At this time last year, New Global's debt was $9 billion.
The debt now...is $16 billion!
For large companies like Xin Global, only if the debt increases will make all parties happy.
Of course, if there is too much debt or even insolvent, it will be uncomfortable for all parties.
The current market valuation of Xin Global Group is at least US$120 billion, and its asset valuation can reach US$80 billion. The debt ratio is very low and the company is in a healthy state.
Dividends under such conditions will not be subject to any external doubts or internal pressure, and can be arranged at will.
Now, the total share capital of Xin Global has reached 1 billion shares, and Tang En personally holds 830 million shares.
With this dividend of $5 billion this time, Don En can get $4.15 billion by himself.
Of these, US$2.15 billion remained in Donn Capital, with a tax deduction of US$200 million.
The 2 billion US dollars will be retained in the overseas division of Donn Capital. This part can be tax-free and will be mainly used for investment in overseas markets in the future. If Liverpool successfully wins the Champions League championship this year, Donn will inevitably spend money to build a new modern football stadium.
Next is the biggest prosperity of Hollywood, the Oscar.
Tang En was once again invited by the Oscar Organizing Committee and wanted him to appear on stage as an award presenter. As for what awards he gave, he could choose as he pleased, and the Organizing Committee could arrange it separately according to his choice.
Tang En chose to refuse.
With his current identity, there is no need to expose it too much to the spotlight.
In the past few years, he needed to rely on other means to become famous with platforms like the Oscars.
Now it's not needed.
The name "Donn Walker" itself represents fame and brand.
However, Tang En would reject the Oscars, and some people would be confused. Even if they fly across thousands of mountains and rivers, they would come to participate in the event.
This is an Oscar!
Even if it is not a prize, but a prize presentation, it is a great honor to be able to participate once.
"Brother Tang, will I treat you to dinner tonight?" Miss Zhang on the phone was very excited.
“Not available.”
Tang En refused without hesitation.
"Brother Tang~~~"
Miss Zhang acted coquettishly in a coquettish manner.
Tang En frowned and scolded: "Speak well if you have something to do!"
Miss Zhang pouted and said aggrievedly: "It's "Mulan". I feel... I feel that there is something wrong with the casting. I want to tell you about the situation there..."
The Sino-US joint venture movie "Mulan", passed the Chinese review in December last year, and it was considered to be officially launched.
The production cost is US$100 million, and it is claimed to be US$150 million.
Among them, a total of 7 film companies in China participated in the investment, with a total amount of US$50 million. Two film companies in Hong Kong participated in the investment, with a total amount of US$30 million. Two film companies in the US participated in the investment, namely the main producer Rose Pictures, and Legend Pictures, which invested in the platter, each invested US$10 million.
After allocating the interests, the next thing is the casting work of the actors.
