Chapter 730 August
If he gives in easily and starts to care about the opinions of the international community, then the third brother will not be the third brother anymore.
The chaebol that attacked Suri and the Ambani family this time is powerful enough not to be underestimated.
Even if Miss Aishwarya Ambani's father intervened, he could not change their determination to let several start-ups face the dilemma of antitrust lawsuits collectively.
Suri doesn't care much about the exaggerated antitrust fine of 3.5 billion US dollars.
On the one hand, because he only holds about 45% of the shares in these companies on average, he doesn't need to pay for all of it.
On the other hand, even if he loses the case in India, he can still take the case to an international arbitration institution, and then the fine will most likely be cancelled.
What he cares about is that an Internet information consulting company under the Tata Group has come up with several competing products like a magic trick, and also announced that it is considering acquiring Motorola's mobile phone business.
This obviously shows that the move against those Indian projects was a long-planned move, with the sole purpose of suppressing the business of Suri and the Ambani family while taking the lead in seizing the Indian market by launching similar products.
Faced with potential profits of tens of billions of dollars, it is worth it for the Tata Group to make a big move.
Suri is very familiar with similar operations.
Whether it is Silicon Valley or other American multinational companies, they are very good at turning normal business competition into unfair competition that is unilaterally beneficial to them.
Sometimes Suri feels that he is still too honest, too simple, and too kind, and is incompatible with those unruly profiteers, so many people have the idea of being able to extort money from him.
Many companies on the other side of the ocean are also too well protected by the government. In addition, they have read too many magazines such as "Yilin", "Reader", and "Youth Digest", thinking that the business environment in developed countries is really fair and open, so overseas investment is often not smooth, with more losses and less profits.
To put it in a more vivid way, it is like a rich man who does not know the situation and takes the initiative to drive a sports car to the 75th block of Brooklyn, New York. If there is only a wheel hub left after parking it overnight, it means that the car thief's skills are not sophisticated enough.
Suri does business all over the world. As long as he is willing to abide by local laws and regulations, the business environment in the mainland does make him feel most comfortable. This is also the view of many foreign businessmen.
Unlike a certain New York real estate tycoon with amazing destructive power in the future, Washington is now shouting loudly about "manufacturing return", but there has been no substantial big move in recent years. This is also because cooperating with the other side of the Pacific to do business is in the interests of Wall Street and other businessmen, rather than really considering how many new jobs to create for Americans.
Therefore, it is clear at a glance how to make Daddario's father choose between the two.
Just in New York, Suri wanted to intervene in advance, and took the time to meet the "Golden Pheasant" in person, inviting the other party to jointly develop some Four Seasons hotels, preparing to let the other party busy making money and give up doing some tricks.
The specific situation is not convenient to talk about in detail.
The filming of "Ex-Files 2: The Backup Strikes Back" started soon, and Suri was in the honeymoon period with Wall Street. In addition to filming, he spent a lot of time. He went to parties every now and then and took the opportunity to make some powerful allies.
People like to treat him as "the son of the God of Wealth". The "world's richest man" who can help people make money is of course very popular wherever he goes.
July 2012 ended quietly.
In August, the Nasdaq Stock Exchange in New York suddenly issued an announcement of Yahoo's suspension of trading, which completely ignited the attention of Silicon Valley and the global financial and technology circles.
According to the announcement, Yahoo is negotiating with Suri for an acquisition, and plans to privatize and delist Yahoo at a price not exceeding US$21 billion.
Just as Suri expected, many major shareholders of Yahoo lost confidence in the company's development prospects and planned to cash out and use the money to invest in other new projects. After encountering the opportunity to cash out at a premium, they expressed their willingness to talk without hesitation.
There are many issues involved, such as layoffs and restructuring, agreements with other companies, and corporate debt and cash, and there is no accurate answer for a while.
Investors holding Yahoo shares are looking forward to it. Faced with the surprise of a sudden increase of more than ten points in assets, they are busy suggesting that Yahoo's board of directors sell it online.
As for Alibaba Group and SoftBank Group, Suri also arranged for representatives of the family office to contact them, saying that they can further cooperate on the basis of maintaining the status quo in the future.
Alibaba's boss Ma wanted to take the opportunity to continue to repurchase the company's shares, but was directly rejected by Suri. After all, Alibaba shares are the most attractive high-quality assets to him. If this part of the income is missing, the basis for his acquisition of Yahoo will no longer exist.
Except for the third brother, all other businesses are going well.
Through the Four Seasons Hotel Group, Suri's Hong Kong City World Island Company has also launched a Dubai project called "Four Seasons World Island". It plans to spend huge amounts of money in the next ten years to revitalize the Dubai World Island project, leaving dozens of small islands to build resorts, and restart the sale plan of private islands, which has attracted the attention of many wealthy people.
As for the filming of "Ex-Files 2", it was also much easier than the last time. He and Daddario had a tacit understanding. They also filmed a day by the swimming pool of the Four Seasons Hotel. When Yuko Hoshino came to join the crew, Suri was busy during the day and even busier at night.
Wait until the end of August.
In the name of starting the construction of the Hong Kong City Central commercial project, Su Rui also rushed to Hong Kong City to have trysts with Tian Ying, Gu Meina, Sun Ye and others. He managed his time to the extreme and was so energetic that he found it incredible.
————————
The filming cycle of "The Wandering Earth" exceeded expectations.
After learning that the crew had finished filming, Su Rui took the initiative to call Jiang Jiaya and invited her to take a flight from Shanghai to the United States.
We haven't seen each other for several months, and Jiang Jiaya has become so busy that she has lost a lot of weight, so that when she first saw her smiling face, Su Rui rarely had the thought "it's actually pretty good-looking".
The crew of "Exes 2" was still waiting. Su Rui only took one day to inspect projects such as Crazy Hungry, Beep Taxi, and Pin Xixi in Shanghai, and then came to the airport.
Sitting on the plane with Jiang Jiaya, she babbled and told:
"I hope this movie can achieve good box office results. I have been very tired recently. I have changed a lot of places to shoot. Some special effects shots require me to reshoot many times. Shooting in the air really affects my state. ”
Suri said with a smile:
"I also hope that its box office performance will be better, otherwise I will not be able to make a second part. I am also busy filming during this period, and it is expected to be released before "The Wandering Earth". I will seize the time to catch up with this year's Christmas schedule."
Jiang Jiaya stared at him and suddenly asked:
"How are you doing lately? Amanda said you are autistic. You have been living in Lanai for a few months. You don't seem as happy as before."
"I'm not a fool. Why am I having fun all day long? Maybe it's because I'm getting older and I have to slowly adapt to the new pace of life."
After turning 25, Jiang Jiaya also felt that her life had changed, and it was difficult to regain the vitality and novelty she had when she was young.
She then asked at this moment: "Is the situation okay with Thalia? When can I see your baby."
"Come on, she lives in London, which is great. Do you have a boyfriend?"
".Shut up."
