MTL - Centennial Family, Rising From Hong Kong Island-Chapter 364
Chapter 625 Universal Pictures 【Seeking flowers! Ask for a monthly pass! 】
On this day, not only Hong Kong Island, but also the media all over the world caused a sensation because of this list.
Twelve of the top 30 richest people are from Hong Kong Island, and in the top 10 alone, Hong Kong Islanders account for four.
It's simply the beginning of history.
Except for the Americans, no one can be as terrifying as the Hong Kong Island consortium.
So it caused quite a stir!
Some extreme media accuse the people of the Hong Kong Island consortium as a group of shameless robbers who wantonly looted wealth from the United States during the financial crisis.
Every penny they make now is the hard-earned money of the Americans.
Of course, there are criticisms and praises, and many overseas media also call them heroes.
Even calling Su Shaoze a legend!
Not only because of this time, since his debut, he has been a legend.
As the Times said: "The birth and rise of a legend, the coming of an era!"
"Ten years ago, he came to Hong Kong Island with nothing. With his hard-working hands and keen eyes, he seized every opportunity and accumulated enough original capital in two years."
"The Galaxy Group was created!"
"Ten years later, Galaxy Group has become the largest group enterprise on Hong Kong Island, with industries involved in finance, real estate, energy, heavy industry, electronic information, media and entertainment, etc."
"It became one of the largest integrated groups on the West Pacific Coast."
"And the king who single-handedly created this huge galactic empire has now stepped onto the throne of the world's richest man with a majestic attitude."
"His time has come!"
...
In Langyu Mountain Manor, Su Shaoze was lying on the reclining chair, holding a newspaper, looking at the rainbow farts who are not human these days, hehe shook his head.
But in fact, it was a bit of a dark heart.
It's no wonder that so many obscure kings were born in ancient times. It turns out that everyone likes to be flattered.
In the past few days, the news that Su Shaoze has become the world's richest man has been very sensational, and the news that the twelve richest people on Hong Kong Island have joined forces to become the top 30 richest people in the world is even more surprising.
Therefore, Su Shaoze had to stay at home and hide in peace.
At the same time, it is also planning for future opportunities, which companies should be acquired, and how far should the Galaxy Group's power be expanded.
"There has been enough limelight in this period of time, and we still have to keep a low profile in the future." Su Shaoze said secretly.
Fortunately, he was well prepared!
He hid most of his wealth early.
Assets exposed on the bright side are strictly calculated.
At this time, Su Shaoze's exposed net worth is 32 billion US dollars, which is just 8 billion US dollars more than the world's second richest man in the United States.
Although this number is very staggering, it is still within the acceptable range.
It doesn't seem too obtrusive.
But there is another question that Su Shaoze has to consider.
In the days to come, Su Shaoze will have to carry out several major acquisition plans, and it must be carried out in the name of the Galaxy Group.
In that case, Su Shaoze's worth on the bright side will see a surge again, which is not conducive to his low-key original intention.
"So, it's time to introduce other shareholders for Galaxy Group." Su Shaoze said secretly.
The current Galaxy Group is not listed, and Su Shaoze still holds 100% of the shares.
This is very unreasonable for a super group with assets of 30 billion US dollars.
Just like Bao Chuanwang's Kowloon Group, Li Chaoren's Yangtze River Group, etc., in addition to themselves, there are also some small shareholders.
Therefore, Su Shaoze is also preparing to reform the Galaxy Group and reduce his shareholding in the Galaxy Group.
Arouse other shareholders!
But this does not mean that Su Shaoze will give up his interests in the Galaxy Group.
The so-called introduced shareholders are by no means other forces, but belong to another vest of Su Shaoze, an offshore company under Su's holding.
For Su Shaoze, it is nothing more than the difference between right and left, but it is to reduce his shareholding in Galaxy Group on the bright side.
The Rockefeller family, the Morgan family, etc., have been undergoing continuous reforms in the past hundred years.
Use these methods to dilute the existence of your own family.
It is like the core industry of the Rockefeller family, Standard Oil.
Now it has been forcibly divided into more than 20 oil companies, and the Rockefeller family has very few shares in these oil companies.
But secretly, they control one by one offshore venture capital through family funds, and hold standard equity in another form.
Whether it is the right to speak or the actual control, the Rockefeller family's control and influence over more than 20 oil companies in the Standard Department is still very terrifying.
The fundamental purpose of this is to avoid the dissatisfaction and anger of the people and the government against the Rockefeller family.
At this time, Su Shaoze did exactly the same as Rockefeller.
Let the Su family gradually hide behind the scenes, stay in the dark, and avoid the eyes and attention of the world.
But the tentacles stretched out from the abyss can allow the Su family to firmly penetrate into every corner of the world.
Only in this way can a family carry on a century of precipitation and development.
"Peng~"
Just as Su Shaoze was lying on the reclining chair and pondering, a football suddenly flew over and plunged into the swimming pool next to Su Shaoze, splashing a splash of water.
"Oops, you missed your kick and went into the swimming pool."
On the lawn that has been transformed into a small football field not far away, Su Tianyou yelled at a child angrily.
The kid looked one or two years older than Su Tianyou, and was not to be outdone: "It's obviously because your pass is too bad, I can't shoot at all."
There were four other children chatting beside them, all of them were about the same age as the Su Tianyou brothers, and their identities were different.
Basically, they are the children of Chuanwang Bao and Hu Donglai and their grandchildren.
They are all the future successors of the major chaebols on Hong Kong Island, and the Hong Kong Island Consortium will be passed on to them sooner or later, so under the deliberate arrangement of the parents, they play together from time to time.
Seeing these boys make trouble again, Su Shaoze didn't care, even if it was a fight, it was nothing.
Anyway, Su Shaoze's son has inherited his tough genes, and he will never suffer in a fight.
Once at school, Su Tianyou beat up three senior students who were one head taller than him.
On the other hand, Su Shaoze, watching this group of children play, laughed softly: "It's not bad to buy a football club to play with.".
Chapter 626 Three major investment companies 【Ask for a monthly ticket! Ask for flowers! 】
On this day, the editors-in-chief of the major newspapers on Hong Kong Island got the news that the Galaxy Group will hold a press conference this afternoon to announce important things.
Time was very tight, but reporters from major newspapers and the branches of many international newspapers on Hong Kong Island rushed over as quickly as possible.
Galaxy Empire Building, in the large conference room on the third floor!
Hundreds of reporters stood there with long guns and short cannons. The first in line were reporters from several major newspapers, such as [Hong Kong Island Daily], [Oriental Daily], and [Star Weekly].
The daily circulation of these newspapers is one of the best.
And they also have a common feature. These newspapers are all under the banner of Su Media.
That is, it belongs to the Galaxy Group!
At this time, it was their parent company that held a press conference, and many colleagues wanted to get some news from their mouths.
Unfortunately, the reporters of these newspapers were also at a loss.
They are only small reporters, how could they know the decision of the head office?
"Mr. Su has just become the richest man in the world, so he is in a hurry to hold a press conference. What's the matter?"
"It must be a big deal!"
"No matter what, I will definitely support Mr. Su!"
"It's really awesome. Not only Mr. Su has become the top 20 richest people in the world, but also the top 30 richest people in the world. There are only 12 of us on Hong Kong Island. It really gives us Chinese people a boost."
"I'm still a little excited when I think of it!"
...
The popularity of Su Shaoze's ascent to the top has not yet passed, so these reporters are also talking about this matter in the Galaxy Empire Building.
Even those foreign reporters were very excited. After all, they might see the world's richest man with their own eyes today!
Just let them down!
Soon, the huge door of the conference room opened, and a group of men in neat suits walked in, with leather shoes stepping on the carpet, silent and powerful.
The person walking in the middle was a man in his forties, his hair was completely combed, and he was neatly dressed. It was Ye Tianci, the CEO of Galaxy Group.
Seeing that Su Shaoze was not on the stage in person, the reporters in the field were a little disappointed, but they still grabbed Ye Tianci and slammed it.
In the large conference room, there was a series of clicks and clicks, and Ye Tianci, who was photographed by the flash, seemed to be in the thunder and lightning.
"Hello, ladies and gentlemen, I am the CEO of Galaxy Group, Ye Tianci."
On the huge podium, Ye Tianci spoke into the microphone, and applause soon erupted from below.
"I invite everyone to come today, there are some announcements."
"In order to complete the world development strategy of Galaxy Group in the next ten years, Galaxy Group intends to formally launch an acquisition invitation to Universal Pictures."
Universal Pictures!
This is the first cross-border acquisition officially initiated by Galaxy Group after the financial crisis.
The previous acquisitions of Boeing and General Electric have only acquired shares ranging from 5 to 15 percent.
Moreover, the main body of the acquisition is still an offshore company under Su's holdings such as Fengyun Capital and Stephen Fund, which is essentially a company in the United States.
But this time, in order to expand its influence, Galaxy Group will start its own crazy acquisition road.
Not just to acquire some shares of Universal Pictures, but to acquire as much as possible, or at least to take full control.
Turn it into an absolute subsidiary of the Galaxy Group.
Universal Pictures will also be the beginning of the Galaxy Group's U.S. strategy, followed by major acquisitions such as Wal-Mart, Telephone and Telegraph Company, Coca-Cola Company, Western Bank of Communications, and Northern Electric Power Company.
Galaxy Group plans to take absolute ownership of these companies, complete control of the board of directors, and turn them into subsidiaries.
At that time, the Galaxy Group will also complete the transformation from a regional comprehensive group to a world super group.
It's just that the Galaxy Group will not disclose the follow-up acquisition plan for the time being.
"Wow~"
When Ye Tianci finished speaking, all the reporters in the large conference room fell into an uproar.
Buy Universal Pictures?
This is one of the seven major Hollywood film companies. It has been established for nearly a hundred years and is extremely influential worldwide.
All right!
In retrospect, when the Galaxy Group first started, the film company was one of its important territories.
The Galaxy Group is just doing its own business all over again.
It’s just that the scale of Universal Pictures is much larger than that of Su’s Pictures on Hong Kong Island. Universal Pictures has a complete distribution channel in major regions of the world.
Profitability often maintains the top three positions among the seven major Hollywood studios.
It is not easy to acquire.
But for the behemoth Galaxy Group, Universal Pictures doesn't seem so powerful.
And as we all know, Su Shaoze led Li Chaoren and others to make a lot of money during the financial crisis.
