"Actually, you don't need to worry so much. Can't the objects we acquired can be merged into Shuxiang as additional shares?" Xiao Ran smiled lightly. In order to attack News Corporation, Shuxiang has spent a lot of money in the past two years to control companies that were not originally worth it.
Companies that need to be controlled: “And don’t forget, after operating for about two or three years, those companies can earn us at least several billion dollars in total!”
"Only you can comfort yourself like this!" Wei Dongling came to Xiao Ran with disdain and stared at this guy with a click of his tongue: "If you use that money to invest in other things, you can make more in a few years!"
Xiao Ran felt slightly embarrassed. If he hadn't been afraid of Murdoch, there would be no need to mobilize such huge funds to deal with News Corporation. In fact, News Corporation is no longer as influential as Shuxiang, but Xiao Ran still stubbornly thinks that Murdoch is like this
character, if he cannot be defeated, he may threaten the existence of Shuxiang in the future. After all, in his original history, Lao Mo was definitely a remarkable figure.
"By the way, what do you think Lao Mo will do?" Xiao Ran was always inferior to Wei Dongling in business. He was very clear about this, so he did not try to get involved randomly, but tried his best to seek A Dong's opinion.
Wei Dongling immediately fell into deep thought. After pondering for a moment, he said: "If I were in a favorable offensive position like him, the best option would be to acquire the company first, obtain cash, and sell it separately at the same time. This way
Then we can get a certain amount of cash, and the most important thing is to restore some confidence of investors. Then we can launch acquisitions from Shuxiang’s companies, which will be much safer!”
"Of course, the other way is very risky. You can directly initiate an acquisition of Shuxiang's company. In this case..." Wei Dongling thought quietly: "It may not be that there is no chance of success, and if such a raid on Shuxiang succeeds, and in
If the Asian market gets involved, investors’ confidence will definitely increase dramatically!”
Xiao Ran nodded thoughtfully: "It's very simple. No matter what Murdoch does, he has been attracted by the gestures we have made in the past two years! He is determined to win this company. No matter what, he
This is the ultimate goal!”
"In such a position, he can make a gesture to launch an acquisition of that North American company. Based on our actions over the years, theoretically we are going to snipe him. And he can take the opportunity to turn around and come to Asia. This is
It's easy to confuse us by making false claims in the east and attacking in the west." Wei Dongling nodded indifferently.
He was very confident in the plan that Xiao Ran proposed two years ago. Although the current North American company was a small accident, these two guys who planned all the actions two years ago must not be fooled.
Two years ago, Xiao Ran proposed the most common bankruptcy case in shopping malls, which is bankruptcy due to excessive debt and lack of funds. After collecting various investigation materials, Xiao Ran's analysis and various speculations about this person, it turned out that
Doc has never thought of giving up the Asian market, even though everyone knows that Scholar is the king of media in Asia.
Xiao Ran made this plan in a very targeted manner. He wanted to use the opportunity of reorganization to give the world, and even himself, an illusion. Of course, it is not a big problem to achieve Piao Tianwen, even if he has control in his hands.
This illusion is that after Piao Tianwen, it has become Asia's number one media and no longer needs other TV networks. In this way, in the past two years, the rest of Piao Tianwen will be dominated by South Korea and Japan.
A subsidiary formed by the merger of the Chinese television networks.
And this is the bait, a bait specifically targeted at Murdoch. As long as he can obtain this subsidiary, Murdoch can completely intervene in the Asian media industry. Or perhaps it is better to say that as long as anyone obtains this subsidiary, he can also intervene.
Asian media industry.
Who can resist such a temptation? Moreover, Murdoch's News Corporation is completely suppressed by Shuxiang Media. The business has reached a bottleneck, and it is very critical to seek a breakthrough.
At present, News Corporation's debt is approaching 50%. Fortunately, Murdoch sold some properties some time ago and the debt has been reduced to 40%. As long as the scholar adds more energy and uses some clever tricks
, is enough to send News Corp. into the abyss.
In the afternoon, Xiao Ran went to Siwei to do post-production. Now Siwei is really amazing. It is firmly the number one post-production company in Asia and covers a very large area. When he came to the recording studio, Xiao Ran looked at the group of people inside and shouted to start work.
Getting busy.
The issue of recording has puzzled Xiao Ran for a long time. What does he want? What should "Reincarnation" look like? And these are closely related to recording. The most typical example is the gunshots in gun battle scenes in Hong Kong movies in history.
The effects are often loud and powerful. However, filmmakers often ignore that sound effects are always closely related to the film.
What Xiao Ran admires most is the gunshot sound effects in "Very Sudden". They are not very powerful, but relatively real gunshots. They form an indescribable and ingenious sense of coordination with the theme of the film. Especially the scene at the end.
In terms of gun sound effects, the less intense gun sounds can highlight the more intense gun battles, and are also vaguely linked to the theme.
This is what Xiao Ran wants. However, perhaps it is precisely because of Xiao Ran's technical knowledge that he was able to direct a very classic action movie before he directed "True Colors". At least on a technical level, it is
Totally beyond the mark.
But, what is "Reincarnation" like? As a director, Xiao Ran certainly knows what he wants to express. However, in this way, he found that in the action scenes, the two scenes of reverse driving and bullet time are different from
The style of the film is not unified enough.
When it was finally time to edit, Xiao Ran looked at the picture and was silently stunned. Indeed, as he expected, the style of the film was definitely not uniform. It is difficult to describe the style of "Reincarnation" itself. It is like an intense action movie, but also...
It's like a literary film full of morals. Whether it's art or other aspects, it completely matches this style.
The problem arises. The chase scene driving in the opposite direction is just because the scene itself is too big and does not suit the style of the film. It doesn’t matter, the key lies in bullet time. Bullet time is used in the scene at the end where the two people are in the air and holding each other.
On the shot of the opponent's arm drawing a gun and shooting.
What's the problem? Gorgeous, too gorgeous! This kind of shot is definitely not suitable for the relatively pure and essential style of the film. It is more suitable for movies like "The Legend of Car God". However, is this shot just edited like this?
Fall?
For this shot, Xiao Ran used one hundred and twenty top-level digital cameras, controlled by a computer, and then sent it to Infinite Vision for final modification and processing. If it were to be cut like this, it would be a pity.
waste.
Because Zhang Yaozong hadn't seen the scene yet, he didn't know what Xiao Ran was struggling with. But he felt that Xiao Ran was very strange now, as if he was in some kind of pain: "Brother Ran, you are not usually like this, you should be very decisive
That’s right.”
Zhang Yaozong's words were like a beacon, guiding Xiao Ran in the direction. He stood up resolutely and gritted his teeth and said: "Cut this scene and replace it with another set of shots we shot!"
During the filming, Xiao Ran had already had a vague premonition. Although bullet time was really tempting, Xiao Ran still re-shot another set of shots, which was a neat set of shots without bullet time.
After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Ran was thinking about whether to cut out the reverse chase scene. After thinking about it, Xiao Ran decided to keep it. There were no explosions in this scene, or even in the entire film.
.
July 1st has not arrived yet! However, I believe it will arrive soon. Even Xiao Ran and Wei Dongling, two guys who have always stayed in the smoke of gunfire, are gradually feeling nervous. Although their opponents are far from threatening the existence of Phantom,
But this tension still exists very clearly.
On this day, Xiao Ran didn't need to deal with the later affairs of the film, so he quickly called Fang Xiaoqiang back. However, when Fang Xiaoqiang came to the extremely spacious balcony (imagine the one in "The God of Cookery"), Xiao Ran was surprised
Awesome.
In his opinion, Fang Xiaoqiang theoretically needs to arrive at noon. Wei Dongling obviously also got the news of Fang Xiaoqiang's return and hurriedly came to the balcony. The company staff saw the three major directors appearing together in this rare "sight"
", I couldn't help but be surprised, thinking that the three giants were planning some big deal.
Under the control of Sunshine and Monkey, Zhang Yan and Liu Xi, Xiao Ran and the three of them started to do things that were very unsatisfactory and that no one else could have imagined. Xiao Ran looked at Fang Xiaoqiang, who was still quite thin, with a surprised look on his face: "Xiao Qiang
, why did you arrive so quickly!"
"Brother Ran, I'm warning you, don't call me Xiaoqiang again!" Fang Xiaoqiang gritted his teeth and glared at Xiao Ran. Zhou Xingchi's Xiaoqiang was now a household name in Asia, so how could he not be depressed.
In fact, what made him hate the most was that the original cockroach in the script of "Tang Bo Hu Spots Autumn Fragrance" was not named Xiao Qiang. Those screenwriters did not have the guts to make a joke about the name of one of the directors of Phantom. In order to avoid this,
In fact, I used Xiao Ming.
As a result, Xiao Ran was stunned when he received the news. Could it be that the cute Xiaoqiang was just gone? So, this guy immediately asked someone to change Xiaoming to Xiaoqiang. According to history, he became the world-famous cockroach.
Brother!
The outcome was of course predictable. Fang Xiaoqiang wanted to change his name right now, but his parents didn't allow it, so he had to continue to use this name. Xiao Ran suddenly remembered a fairy tale he had watched many years ago.
Novel, he was thinking, the protagonist of that book is called Xiao Qiang. Is the author hinting at Xiao Qiang?
Of course, that was a digression. Fang Xiaoqiang looked at Xiao Ran very depressedly and said, "I just bought a plane recently, so I came here so quickly!"
"You have a lot of private money, buy it at every turn!" Xiao Ran made a sound and made an envious look. In his identity, this expression was obviously very bad, so the two of them were
They all gave Xiao Ran a slight punch.
Of course, the main assets of Wei Dongling and Fang Xiaoqiang come from Phantom, but this does not mean that they have no other investments. Those investments can also earn them a lot of money. It is like Xiao Ran, in addition to Microsoft stocks, has a private name.
There are still hundreds of millions of dollars in cash and about three billion dollars in investments.
After chatting casually for a while and sitting down on the chair, Fang Xiaoqiang said with a smile: "Brother Ran, are you planning to take action this time? I can't wait to fight Soros to see who is better, he or I."
!”
It is not surprising that Fang Xiaoqiang has such an idea of competition. In the West, the most famous head of private investment institutions is Soros, and this guy is the most famous speculator. In the East, Fang Xiaoqiang has been trained by Xiao Ran over the years.
After countless battles, Phantom earned at least tens of billions of dollars in profits and became Asia's number one speculator.
The decisive battle between the two masters from the East and the West feels a bit like a sword debate on Mount Huashan, or the decisive battle at the Forbidden City written by Gu Long. I can’t blame Fang Xiaoqiang for being so excited about having a fight with Soros. Of course,
No matter who wins, no one dares to call himself the number one speculator in the world. After all, there are countless masters in the world. However, if he wins, he will definitely be the most famous financial speculator in the world today.
Xiao Ran nodded silently. In order to deal with Soros, he spent a lot of effort on Fang Xiaoqiang, making sure that this strong man who had fought equally with Soros in history could play a decisive role in the financial crisis.
In fact, you have to cultivate even if you suffer losses.
Today, no, this year is the time for Fang Xiaoqiang to use all his abilities. This time, Xiao Ran will not be able to help with anything, except for funds. As mentioned earlier, Xiao Ran will sell TV stations and oil company shares, etc.
It's to raise funds for this year's war.
Even for this reason, Xiao Ran specifically asked the three major listed companies, Hutchison Whampoa, Mingxuan and Dynamics, to gradually issue more circulating shares in the market to raise funds. In fact, not only these three flagships, but also several other major
Listed companies controlled by the company have successively made the same move, especially the listed companies controlled by Shuxiang. This can raise funds and increase Murdoch's acquisition financing difficulties. Why not do it.
So far, Phantom can mobilize US$40 billion in funds in one day. However, if it does this on weekdays, it will definitely cause strong shocks in the market. Based on Phantom's relationship with major banks, within a week, it will take
Raising tens of billions of dollars more is definitely not a problem. By then, one-third of the planned funds will have been raised.
