Chapter 464: The Good Guy Who Targeted South Vietnam
The team responsible for the acquisition business was not the Hong Kong team, but the American team.
It's not just the investment company run by my brother-in-law. Orange Films and Muse Music have also set up investment companies. The global box office of "The Godfather 1" in the past two years has also brought in a steady stream of revenue, not to mention the cash cow of Muse Music.
There is money there and the tax rate is higher than in Hong Kong, so we should spend it more actively. Later, we can transfer the money internally from left hand to right hand and cash it out to places like Hong Kong with low tax rates.
Therefore, under the attack of the US dollar, Rediffusion had to surrender.
First of all, the Hong Kong part, US$2500 million, including the new Hong Kong Liaison headquarters building at 81 Broadcast Avenue, all of Hong Kong Liaison’s assets were packaged up.
You have to know that until 1982, Qiu Degen only spent 50 million Hong Kong dollars to acquire % of the shares of Rediffusion Television, which means that at that time, Rediffusion was valued at only million Hong Kong dollars.
It is now 1974, and we are still in the midst of an economic crisis. The current price is still of good value.
Next was the Rediffusion radio and television stations in old colonies such as Singapore and Malaysia, which were acquired with a total of US$3200 million.
This will bring us money, and we will definitely have plans in Southeast Asia.
In addition to the valuable license of the TV station, the local real estate, vehicles, equipment, etc., are all located in the urban area and are still quite valuable.
It’s just that the economy of Southeast Asia is not as developed as that of Hong Kong, and some are still very chaotic (such as Malaysia), and they are simply relying on the British to make some pocket money.
Since there is a big buyer, just sell them all.
Whether it is Papa John or Pretty Dad, Southeast Asia has no way to resist and dares not to resist.
It went much more smoothly than Wang Yuanchao had expected.
Rediffusion can use the money to strengthen their local business or develop new businesses, which is very cost-effective.
Xiangjiang,
81 Broadcast Drive,
Rediffusion Headquarters.
"Mr. Huang, the head office has sold us to an investment company in the United States. What should we do?"
A group of people surrounded Huang Xizhao, the Chinese chief of Rediffusion Television.
They received news from the British head office that British executives had already begun to clean up their offices to make room for the new management team.
The new boss’s audit team has already moved into the company.
The Xin and Ma teams have not made any major moves yet and will continue to be used for the time being. All they need to do is sign a new contract. But in Xiangjiang, Wang Yuanchao can't wait any longer.
Huang Xizhao has worked in ATV for many years and cultivated many key talents, but he still lost ground under the attack of TVB. Unfortunately, he is not the general manager and his words are not his. However, many of his suggestions were adopted by the company and achieved certain results. So his voice in the company was gradually established. Unfortunately, the company changed its boss!
He comforted:
"Everyone, relax. No matter who the boss changes, he will always need people to work for him. It's people like me who should be worried, right?"
When everyone thought about it, it was true. So many people turned around to comfort him:
"Mr. Huang, we will definitely listen to you."
"The foreigners can't understand what we say!"
……
Huang Xizhao said quickly:
"Everyone, just work peacefully and don't think too much. If you don't do your job well, it will give the new boss a chance to scare the monkeys, right?"
After hearing this, everyone dispersed unconsciously and returned to their work stations.
Huang Xizhao wiped his sweat. Damn it, if everyone sticks together like this, he will be in danger. If he doesn't listen to the boss and listens to Huang Xizhao, is he going to rebel? It's better for him to go out and find a new job!
He'll have to see how his new boss treats him, won't he?
The British left and the Americans came. They always have to familiarize themselves with the situation, unless the Americans have other intentions.
What else can Keli's TV station have besides a TV station?
Or, will the Americans poach people from TVB?
It’s not impossible…
However, he had worked hard to reach his current position in Li, so where could he go?
Although he asked everyone to do their work well, Huang Xizhao himself was a little off. Who doesn't have anxiety about the future? He could comfort others, but no one comforted him.
"Mr. Huang!"
Huang Xizhao was startled and realized that it was the girl at the front desk who was smiling and saying:
"Someone is looking for you!"
Huang Xizhao was wondering, who was looking for him that needed the front desk to notify him? Someone from outside?
The little girl whispered:
"It might be a good thing. I heard them say they're taking you to see the boss."
For no reason, Huang Xizhao's chest immediately puffed out. No one has been in good shape these past two days, and so far, no one has contacted the new boss!
As expected, the first person the boss looked for was him!
He quickly stood up, straightened his clothes, and said:
"Thank you for your kind words. Let's go. We can't keep them waiting."
The people who came were indeed errand boys. They drove and took Huang Xizhao to the Pacific Building.
It’s just a few kilometers, very fast.
But Huang Xizhao's mood began to surge violently.
Pacific Building, is there anyone in Hong Kong who doesn’t know whose territory it is?
What kind of American capital could acquire Rediffusion?
How can American capital know what is happening in Hong Kong? The media is all regional!!
Ninety-nine percent of the time, it was this guy in the building who found a shell of American capital from somewhere. Huang Xizhao's guess was almost right. But I didn't know that the American capital belonged to Boss Wang himself.
He took the elevator all the way up to the floor where Boss Wang had his office. A staff member asked him to wait as the boss had guests inside.
Huang Xizhao immediately sat down and began to think about how to deal with the situation when he met Boss Wang.
This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but it was also an interview. If he failed, then everything would be over. If he succeeded, he couldn't help but think of Zou Wenhuai of Starlight Pictures.
He took a few deep breaths, calmed himself, and reviewed the whole thing in his mind.
……
Chen Xueru took Wang Yuanchao's essence into her stomach. This adopted brother has such a character, there is no need to say anything more.
She also enjoys it.
"How about the Air Force Club in South Vietnam?" Wang Yuanchao had just been released and felt refreshed.
Chen Xueru really wanted to complain that this guy didn't even wait for people to clean up the mess! She could only clean up the mess while saying:
“With the help of Americans, the expansion is still possible.
The Air Force Club now has 212 American pilots and 437 South Vietnamese pilots, a total of 649 people, and more than other technicians and engineers. "
Chen Xueru knew what the club her brother was talking about was, and she immediately listed all of it. Although she didn't know why they wanted to win over this group of people, they had decent spending power. Thanks to Blackwater Security, they could buy all kinds of supplies from Hong Kong for themselves and their families.
There was an Air Force club but no Navy club, and she didn't understand.
Anyway, the Pacific Trading Company, Blackwater Security, key figures in the US military, and some South Vietnamese officials and generals can all make a fortune through this group of high-quality consumers.
Wang Yuanchao nodded with satisfaction. These were all non-staff members of Blackwater Company. If they were organized at the critical moment, they would be useful. Otherwise, they would be a mess.
As for why there is no navy club, how can the navy be as valuable as the air force? Blackwater Security's network of relationships is just that their infiltration relationships are very powerful.
Corrupt and depraved like KMT.
How can such an army defeat the North Vietnamese?
Next year, the Americans will withdraw from South Vietnam.
Historically, the Americans, who were caught off guard, dropped a large number of planes, tanks and warships on Vietnam, which made these monkeys very proud. Because the equipment dropped by the Americans could arm a million troops! They were all the most advanced equipment!
Now, Wang Yuanchao has detailed equipment data at hand. There is nothing he can do about it, Blackwater Security is inside!
Army:
Equipped with AK-47 automatic rifles and M16 automatic rifles, as well as a number of light and heavy machine guns, such as the M60 general-purpose machine gun, and transport vehicles such as the M113 armored transport vehicle. Both rifles have the title of gun king, and the M113 transport vehicle is an advanced American transport vehicle.
The tank troops have T-34, T-85 tanks, PT-76 amphibious tanks and the American M48 "Patton" main battle tank with superior performance. The artillery has the powerful American M101 105mm howitzer and M24 self-propelled anti-aircraft gun.
The entire army conducts unified and coordinated operations through advanced communication equipment and various communication means.
Navy:
There are more than 20 warships, including 2000 Barnegat-class seaplane carriers with a displacement of 7 tons, 2 Edsall-class destroyers with a displacement of tons, as well as many frigates, minesweepers and other ships!
These ships were also very advanced at the time. During the same period, the Vietnamese Navy was stronger than its neighbors and was the largest and most powerful navy in the entire Southeast Asia!
Air Force:
Thousands of Huey helicopters, dozens of CH-47 Chinook helicopters, hundreds of F-5 fighter jets, dozens of A-1 Skyraider attack aircraft, C-130 Hercules transport aircraft, and Reindeer transport aircraft and other advanced aircraft.
There is no need to think about the army, there are limited ideas about the navy, but there is a lot that can be done about the air force.
This is why Wang Yuanchao asked Chen Xueru to go there and establish an air force club. With this group of people, the planes can fly.
If the plane can fly, that means money.
He could just keep some of it and send some of it to the north.
So he asked again:
“Have you been to Sarawak?”
Chen Xueru rolled her eyes and said:
“I have been there.
When have I ever disobeyed your orders?
The paper mill will be officially put into production soon, and the wood processing plant has officially started construction, but such a large area will require stacking..."
Chen Xueru suddenly frowned.
Since she ran an air force club in Saigon, she naturally often rode various planes with those pilots.
She couldn't help but think of something at this moment.
Wang Yuanchao patted her car taillights and said:
"Don't think too much. Americans will come here in a few days and sell these companies to them at a high price! Hahahaha."
What Chen Xueru thought of was what Wang Yuanchao expected.
Since he was planning to take over other people's big planes, he had to find a place for them to stay.
Don't even think about flying north around Saigon, there is no place to stay and it is easy to cause disputes. To the east is the Philippines, which is American territory. If you fly over there, those planes will not belong to him. He is not familiar with the west, and although he is not familiar with the south, Sarawak is old and dilapidated with a small population, so it is the most suitable territory!
If he wants to invest there, he can still find connections in Hong Kong. After all, the Chinese account for about 40% of Sarawak!
It doesn’t matter what kind of factory it is, the main thing is to occupy the land and harden the ground.
Then they sell it to American investment companies at a high price, avoiding taxes there and cashing it out here to make extra money.
The investment company then hired Blackwater Security to take over the security work there, and Blackwater Security knew about such a place, so it could prepare for future escape. Isn't that appropriate?
