Chapter 1379: Greedy

In a large estate outside Los Angeles, little Jack was sitting under a birch tree, with a parasol next to him and a fishing rod in front of him.

It was still interestingly cold outside Los Angeles at the end of May, so he put his hands in his jacket and looked at the lake in front of him, not at the float, with a distracted look in his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Are you really going to Hollywood?" Abel picked up the fishing rod in front of him, looked at the bait on it, changed it, and then dug the hook back into the water.

"Someone is backing me up, and I need some achievements to tide over the period before YouTube goes public. Why don't I invest? To be honest, we have focused too much on military merit and banking before.

Although those are two very powerful industries, they can almost be linked to the right to speak. But apart from the factor of ensuring one's own safety, having money in your pocket is actually the most correct choice. Without money in your pocket, you still have no right to speak even if you are still engaged in the military merit industry.

Hollywood is next to Los Angeles, which can be said to be my territory. I have always ignored this industry that could have brought a lot of profits. I hope it won't be too late to enter it now."

It's not just the Chinese who have devalued the status of actors in ancient times. In fact, looking at the whole world, in the eyes of real capital, these stars and so on are all fake, just a trick they can use to kill time in the world.

But little Jack, who has figured it out, found that no matter how he doesn't care about these stars. But Hollywood makes money in a real way. As long as the money is real, whether it is made by these indifferent stars, it is a small matter that doesn't need to be cared about.

"What did you get over there?" Little Jack turned his head and looked at Abel.

The two people sat together naturally because of an encrypted overseas call from Yang Dongxu, and this call was not made by Yang Xu in mainland China. Instead, he went directly from Shenzhen to Hong Kong, where he made a call to the two of them.

With the help of Hollywood, Yang Dongxu promised that Jack would get a blockbuster with a box office of no less than 500 million US dollars. If it is lower than this standard, Yang Dongxu will make up for the shortfall later.

As for how much Jack can get, it depends on how much he is willing to invest and whether he can lower the price of the theaters to get more kickbacks. In short, Yang Dongxu promised a 500 million guarantee.

During this period, the market of YouTube continued to rise, and it was a foregone conclusion that it would be listed in the second half of the year. This made Jack, who was almost kicked out of the position of heir, much better off.

But no one can tell how much YouTube will be worth in the end, so this is more risky than investing. Therefore, this is not enough to make up for the loss of arms orders that he lost, which were not caused by him, so his life is still a bit tight recently.

So Yang Dongxu promised a 500 million US dollar box office guarantee, and the movie will be released in two months. This gift can be said to be timely rain, which can make him breathe a sigh of relief during the period before the listing of YouTube.

"Shares of some car companies. The tires on the wheels of the United States are not working. The market is either squeezed by German cars or competed for by Japanese cars.

So except for those factories that can still produce military vehicles and are struggling to support. Other car companies basically choose to cooperate with Japanese or German companies.

They provide the market, Japanese or German companies provide products that the people like, and then these people stand behind to get dividends. It seems that they earn a little more than when they make cars themselves." Abel shrugged his shoulders.

Outsiders only see that Japanese and German cars are very popular, but they don't see the tacit approval of the financial managers in the United States behind them. After all, with the nature of the Americans, Toshiba is so strong that even Toshiba is split up for you.

Your Japanese cars have invaded people's doorsteps. If the American consortium cannot get enough profit from it, do you think the US Department of Commerce is a vegetarian?

"It's a very good industry." Little Jack commented.

What the Kennedy family wants to do most now is to quietly develop their own money bags without being noticed by others while keeping the current political resources in their hands.

The automobile industry is a better investment target than the seemingly hot IT industry, even if the latter seems to be more profitable and faster.

But the former is undoubtedly safer. After all, Japanese and German cars are the mainstream in the current US market. As long as the US consortium can get dividends, they don’t really care whether other car series will flood into the market.

And the shares of the automobile company provided by Yang Dongxu originally had a low market share in the US market, and the main market was the Asian market. The US consortium over there can’t get dividends from Japanese and German cars, so naturally they won’t care whether there are any car companies that are rivals of these two car companies.

"How should we deal with the Ministry of Commerce's affairs against his company?" Abel asked.

This is also the reason why the two of them sat together today. The transaction is mutual. It is impossible for you to just take benefits and not do anything.

"I decided to persuade a few stubborn old people in the consortium to come forward." Little Jack said.

Abel was stunned for a moment, then frowned, "It's a good choice. But he is not a person who is willing to suffer a loss, or he is a very shrewd guy."

The former Abel was talking about Little Jack's idea, and the latter was undoubtedly referring to Yang Dongxu.

While the consortium where Xiao Jack belongs was squeezed by the eastern consortiums, the consortium where Xiao Jie belongs suddenly broke out and prepared to protect a promising foreign electronics company.

It seems that they have to give up the traditional industry and try to transform. Whether it is the big guys in the east who want to swallow up the consortium behind Xiao Jack, or the Ministry of Commerce, they will be a little tolerant and not push the consortium behind Xiao Jack too tight, lest the other party go crazy and lose more than the gain.

A little bit of nibbling is the safest way. Since you are willing to transform, then transform. As long as you don't continue to struggle in the traditional industry to make trouble for me.

As for whether it will revive again because of the transformation, since it can eat up your traditional industry. Those big guys in the east have enough confidence to eat up the emerging industries that have grown up again. Maybe this consortium can eat a little fatter. Instead of being unhappy, they will be happier. The pigs are fattened before being killed.

Later, it was said that Yang Dongxu was very strong. It was impossible for Xiao Jack to say that the US Department of Commerce really gave up targeting Dongxu Technology.

There must be a certain amount of share transfer, even if it is not the transfer of parent company shares. At least it is a share of the market share in the United States.

If this contract has been signed, even if it is to deal with the review of the US Department of Commerce, everyone will look better. But Little Jack obviously has no intention of returning it in the end, which means that the benefits he has taken are his and will not be returned to Yang Dongxu.

"What are you planning?" Little Jack asked back.

"Take the agency rights." Abel spread his hands.

This method is the same as Little Jack's method. The things can be produced in China, but they must be sold in the United States by Americans.

In this way, you make things, but you have to share part of the profits with the United States, which is also a disguised protection fee. The Ministry of Commerce will definitely accept this approach.

Although the Kennedy family did not ask for shares directly like Little Jack, they naturally wanted to take advantage of this matter to get more benefits after taking the benefits of the car company's shares.

However, whether it is him or Little Jack, the biggest difficulty of what the two people are going to do is not whether the Ministry of Commerce can pass it. But whether Yang Dongxu will agree.

Things in the world are so strange. Yang Dongxu had to give up the benefits and ask Jack and Abel for help because his company was targeted by the US Department of Commerce.

But the benefits they wanted required Yang Dongxu's approval, but they didn't care much about the Ministry of Commerce, so a very strange cycle was formed between the three.

"Do you know about Dongxu Technology?" Jack asked.

He and Yang Dongxu had to start cooperation at the beginning of the year, so they were not as familiar with each other as Abel.

"After careful investigation, it is an electronic technology company. It started out by producing magnetic tapes and optical discs, and also produced arcade machines in arcades. Later, it started selling popular MP3 and computer hard drives.

In recent years, it has made great achievements in computer motherboards, and has squeezed out other computer motherboard manufacturers to become the top three in the world. At the same time, it is also developing computer graphics cards and processors. It also does some mobile phone OEM and cooperates with Nokia.

Oh, by the way, MP4 is also their product. They are the world's number one in this industry. Even the electronic companies over there and our own Apple are not its opponents in this regard.

It is said that he has a background of Chinese military merits, which is one of the reasons why the Ministry of Commerce targeted him. However, this cannot be confirmed, but it is estimated that there is some connection to the fact that he can create such a large industry in China."

"What is its market value?" Little Jack continued to ask.

"It's not clear yet because it's not listed, but it starts at 20 billion US dollars. Because in addition to its popular products, this company also has strong R&D capabilities.

They hold a lot of valuable patents. Not counting the patents for computer motherboards and hard disks, they also have many patents on mobile phones. I haven't learned about the mobile phone industry before, so I'm not sure which patents they are, but they are definitely very valuable.

In addition to this, there are patents for mobile communications. Don't mobile phones use 3G networks now? Dongxu Technology also has some patents for this standard. Although it doesn't have a large share, it is also one of the standard setters."

"It's really a piece of fat meat that makes people salivate." Little Jack's eyes became brighter and brighter.

"It's really tempting, but it's a pity that it's his core industry, and I guess we can't get involved." Abel said with emotion.

You don't know until you investigate. Once you investigate, Abel is jealous. Not to mention Dongxu Technology's products and assets, just splitting up those patents and selling them is estimated to be higher than Dongxu Technology's current stock price. This piece of meat is really fat and greasy. It's a pity that I can't eat it myself. This time I just use this matter to test it a little.
