Chapter 1382: An Unknown Person Is Following!

Michael Jackson is an absolute superstar of this era and a cash cow for MGM Records. Yang Ming really doesn’t want Michael Jackson to have the same thing happen to him in his previous life, which will cause him to be greatly affected and even leave early. this world.

Michael Jackson was very grateful to Yang Ming for his help. He knew very well that if it hadn't been for the reminder from his boss, he might not be aware of this matter now.

Now, after Yang Ming's reminder, he finally reacted.

After Michael Jackson left.

In the next few days, Yang Ming met with the CEO of 20th Century Fox Film Company, MGM Film Company, United Artists Film Company, Warner Bros. Film Company, and Columbia Pictures.

In other words, five of the eight major Hollywood film giants are in the hands of the Imperial Group, and the remaining Paramount, Universal Pictures, and Disney Studios are still in the hands of white European and American consortiums.

After these years of development, the five Hollywood giants are now getting better and better. Compared with when Yang Ming acquired them, their market value has increased many times. If Yang Ming wants to sell them, it will not be difficult.

Of course, for them, these movie giants will not sell it so easily.

In addition, there is Oriental DreamWorks.

At that time, Yang Ming alone established it, and it is now the most important animation and film giant in Europe, America, and even the world, monopolizing most of the animation market.

When Yang Ming met the CEOs of these Hollywood movie giants, Li Jiaxin, Zhou Huimin, Li Zi and others, he was once again shocked and speechless.

They knew that Mr. Yang was very powerful, but they didn't expect him to be so powerful.

The major Hollywood giants all fell into Yang Ming's hands quietly.

In fact, compared to several movie giants, Yang Ming pays more attention to Marvel.

Marvel has long been acquired by Yang Ming, and after the acquisition, Marvel has gradually become more film-based and IP-oriented, so that in recent years, we can see new Marvel movies being released every year.

However, Marvel's headquarters is in New York. Yang Ming plans to visit Marvel's headquarters when he goes to New York.

After meeting the Hollywood movie giants acquired by the Empire Group.

This morning.

Yang Ming went to the Lakers home arena to watch the Lakers VS Rockets game.

In Yang Ming's previous life, these two teams had relatively large influence in the country.

One is the Lakers because of Kobe, and the Rockets because of the domestic player Yao Ming.

However, now, the Lakers are much weaker due to the lack of core members. On the contrary, the Rockets are now at their peak.

In the 1990-91 season, Pat Riley, the meritorious coach who led the Lakers to four championships in the previous nine years, passed away, and Mike Dunleavy took over as the Lakers coach.

During the regular season, the Lakers ranked second in the Western Conference with 58 wins and 24 losses, and Magic was elected MVP for the third time in his career. In the playoffs, the Lakers eliminated the Rockets and Warriors, and even defeated the Trail Blazers, who had 63 wins and 19 losses that season, 4-2 in the Western Conference Finals. But in the finals, the Lakers lost 1-4 to the Chicago Bulls led by Michael Jordan and missed the championship.

In the 1991-92 season, shortly after the season started, Magic was diagnosed with HIV. Due to public opinion and pressure, he had to announce his retirement early after the All-Star Game in the middle of the season. In the regular season of this season, the Lakers' record declined severely, only achieving 43 wins and 39 losses, barely entering the playoffs. In the playoffs, due to the lack of the absolute core Magic, the Lakers only stopped in the first round of the Western Conference. In the following years, the Lakers have not achieved much results, their record has continued to decline, and James Worthy, who lacks helpers, is even more difficult to support.

As for the Rockets, in the 1992-93 season, the Rockets won the first place in the division with a record of 55 wins and 27 losses, and made it all the way to the semifinals of the division in the playoffs. In the first round of the playoffs, the Rockets defeated the Los Angeles Clippers 3-2 in 5 games to advance. However, in the conference semifinals, the loss to the Sonics at the beginning of the season was repeated. In a 7-game battle, the team lost to North Korea in overtime in the seventh game.

After Jordan retired in 1993, the league entered an era of rising heroes. In this season, the Rockets tied the league's 15-game winning streak at the start of the season and won 22 of the first 24 games. Finally, they won the Western Conference title with a record of 58 wins and 24 losses.

The Rockets easily defeated the Portland Trail Blazers in the first round of the playoffs to advance. But they narrowly escaped death in the conference semifinals against the Phoenix Suns. The Suns first won two games at home against the Rockets and advanced to the Western Conference finals with a thrilling 4-3 score. Then they defeated the Utah Jazz in the conference finals, advancing to the finals for the first time since 1986 and the first championship trophy in the team's history. In the finals, the Rockets defeated the New York Knicks 4-3, bringing the first championship trophy among its sports teams to the Space City, and Olajuwon also celebrated his own achievements. Another trophy was purchased - the Bill Russell NBA Finals Most Valuable Player Award.

In other words, the Rockets are much stronger than the Lakers at this time.

However, many years ago, Yang Ming's Red Bull Sports empire had already acquired the Lakers.

Although the Lakers are also called the Red Bull Lakers, many times you will see many spectators holding Red Bull to support the Lakers, or you will see many Red Bull advertisements in the Lakers' home court.

It can be said that Red Bull is now one of the most influential drinks in the world, especially in terms of functional drinks. In this aspect, its global influence is still very large.

In addition to drinks, there is also Red Bull's sports empire. Red Bull's sports layout was also a key point proposed by Yang Ming back then. It can be said that in recent years, you can watch all the world's most influential sports events or ball games. To the figure of Red Bull.

On the one hand, Red Bull's investment in these sports empires can bring influence and publicity to Red Bull. On the other hand, the acquisition and investment in these sports businesses can also bring a lot of benefits.

Many of the teams acquired that year, including basketball teams, football teams, baseball teams, etc., in addition to making annual profits, many of them have actually multiplied their profits many times.

In other words, Red Bull is not only a global functional drink, but also manages a huge sports empire.

However, many people may not have noticed that Red Bull is also owned by the Imperial Group.

Many sports industries are also owned by Red Bull.

It's different from history.

Historically, Red Bull was in the hands of the Siamese Xu Shubiao family and the Austrian tycoon family. Especially historically, many Red Bull sports-related industries in Europe and the United States were invested and supported by the Austrian tycoon.

Yang Ming was also influenced by the other party, and then proposed such a strategy.

At this time, Yang Ming was watching the game on the basketball court.

Now the Lakers are far behind the Rockets. As a home team, the Lakers will definitely lose this game.

Some people may think that the biggest owner, Sir Yang, came to watch the game and the Lakers actually lost.

Yang Ming knew that there was no way around this and what was the difference in strength.

The main magician was unable to play anymore due to illness. Without other core players, this season basically went by like that.

As long as O'Neal and Kobe join, the Lakers will start to improve. Even when Kobe grows up in the future, he will lead the Lakers to win the championship.

Finally the game is over.

The Lakers lost by more than twenty points.

Even then, Yang Ming still encouraged Lakers coach Mike Dunleavy and the players in the game.

In fact, winning or losing is no longer important to Yang Ming.

He just came over now to see the atmosphere of the game.

After all, looking at the scene is still different from watching it on TV.

After coming out of the Lakers home arena, Yang Ming and others returned to Beverly Hills.

That night.

Yang Ming finished his dinner.

Returning to his study, he saw Chen Zhenhua walking in.

Chen Zhenhua is now in his forties and has retired long ago, but he still stays with Yang Ming. Although he is not the main bodyguard now, he is still the person Yang Ming trusts the most.

"Boss, strangers have been quietly following our convoy these days."

stranger?

If Chen Zhenhua hadn't reminded him, Yang Ming really wouldn't have known.

The person who came here most hoping something would happen to him, Yang Ming guessed, was Soros. However, Yang Ming also knew that Soros did not dare to kill him openly, but it was hard to say whether he would use other means.

But, is Yang Ming afraid of the other party?

He's really not afraid.

"Then you should pay more attention."

In any case, there are still a lot of guns in Country M.

And John Lennon also died at the hands of those crazy M country people, so you still have to pay attention.

That night.

When Yang Ming was about to take a rest, He Chaoluo came in.

"Sir, what's the matter?"

"Chen Zhenhua just said that someone has suddenly been following our convoy these days, so we should pay more attention."

"Yes, sir."

After all, this is neither Xiangjiang, Haojiang, nor China.

If it was country Y, Yang Ming didn't have to worry.

"I'm going to New York in a few days. Do you want to fly to Canada to meet your mother?"

He Chaoluo's mother has been in Vancouver. If He Chaoluo wants to see the other party, he can go there in advance.

"Sir, will you go to Canada then?"

This time, Yang Ming came to country M and had no intention of going to Canada.

Although the Imperial Group has invested a lot in Canada in the past few years, it mainly purchased a large amount of land and invested in agriculture.

However, for Yang Ming, it is up to him to go to Canada or not.

If he just wants to take a vacation, he can go to Australia.

"Not going."

"Sir, then I will go to Canada to meet my mother and my brother, and then I will fly to New York to meet you."

Early the next day.

After He Chaoluo finished breakfast, she took the car and left Beverly Hills.

Take a flight from Los Angeles International Airport to Vancouver.

He Chaoluo left suddenly, and others didn't know what happened.

However, Li Jiaxin felt much more comfortable now that He Chaoluo was not here.

Except He Chaoluo.

Lin Xiuzhi and Alina also left soon.

However, others did not know where the two girls went.

However, European and American media soon reported that Sir Yang, chairman of the Imperial Group, was followed by unknown persons when he inspected the industries of Country M.

When this news came out, many people were immediately shocked.

At this time, many people were very worried about Yang Ming's safety.

Including the old gentleman in China, Mr. Jiang, Mrs. Sachiel from Country Y, the Queen and others, as well as many people from Country M now.

Now, when Yang Ming came to inspect his company, he was followed by an unknown person. Suddenly, some people pointed the finger at Soros.

However, Soros is now a recluse, and the outside world rarely hears about him.

The affairs of the Liangzai Fund have always been managed by his partner Rogers.

Now, such a thing has been reported, and many people can't help but doubt it.

However, Yang Ming's influence is too great now, especially this time Yang Ming was in Silicon Valley and made a speech on the development of the Internet at the headquarters of the Global Internet Association, which had a great impact.

If Sir Yang had an accident in the United States, it is conceivable what kind of consequences it would bring.

It may be after these news reports.

Originally, Chen Zhenhua also found that there were strangers following him, but soon no one approached Beverly Hills or appeared near Yang Ming's motorcade.

. . .

Three days later.

Yang Ming and his party left Los Angeles.

Fly from Los Angeles International Airport and fly directly to LaGuardia International Airport in New York.

When Yang Ming first came to New York, he bought a mansion on Long Island, and the headquarters of one of his financial investment companies was here.

Over the years, he has bought several more mansions on Long Island.

The financial investment headquarters in the New York villa that Lin Dezhong first bought has moved to Wall Street.

Now Yang Ming comes here, and there are no other people here except the housekeeper and the servants.

Very clean and quiet.

Yang Ming and his party arrived.

This place seemed different immediately.

And that night.

At this time, Buffett already had a certain influence in the world, but the title of stock god had not yet come to him.

In fact, in 1994, Buffett decided to continue to increase his holdings in Coca-Cola, and finally his total investment in Coca-Cola reached 1.3 billion US dollars.

At the end of 1997, Coca-Cola's stock rose, and Buffett made a huge profit of 13.3 billion US dollars. So he was called the "stock god".

At this time, Buffett already knew about Yang Ming's arrival. When Yang Ming was in Silicon Valley, Buffett knew that investing in the Internet would bring great returns.

And over the years, he has made a lot of profits from Apple, Oracle, supercomputer software companies, Golden Gate Technologies, BlackBerry, etc., and it is still a long-term investment.

This time, Yang Ming once again announced that he was about to enter the era of the Internet explosion, and he knew that the big profits from the Internet might be coming.

Some time ago, the global media suddenly reported that Sir Yang was followed by unknown people when he inspected the company in the United States, and Buffett was also a little worried about Sir Yang's safety.

Regardless of this, Sir Yang met him several times, which was a great inspiration to him, especially in terms of long-term investment.

"Sir Yang, long time no see."

"Mr. Buffett, long time no see."

Buffett already knew that Sir Yang had fought against Soros of the Quant Fund last year, and even caused Soros to vomit blood in anger, that is to say, Sir Yang is still very good at financial warfare.

In fact, it was far beyond his imagination.
