Chapter 158: Multiple investments reached
Golden Shuguang Entertainment Group.
At this moment, Alexander, as Zhu Ke’s chief assistant, is reporting on work.
"Boss, as of yesterday, you have transferred back US$740 million in cash from the United States during the Asian financial crisis. Excluding the US$380 million for capital injection of California Standard Bank and purchase of physical gold, US$20 million has expanded new bank branches for California Standard Bank. "
"The remaining 440 million US dollars in cash, with 125 million US dollars, bought 2.7% of Apple stock from the National Environmental Protection Foundation."
"Subsequently, according to your instructions, continue to acquire Apple's outstanding shares on the market. At present, it has spent a total of 110 million US dollars in cash and once again won 1.02% of the shares."
"In other words, as of yesterday, you have a total of 3.72% of Apple's non-voting shares."
As Alexander reports his work step by step, Zhu Ke now has a clearer understanding of personal assets.
The US$1 billion in cash that I transferred back from the Asian financial crisis, and after paying taxes, the remaining US$740 million in cash was basically used up.
Injected capital into California Standard Bank at a cost of 400 million US dollars;
Acquired 3.72% of Apple stock at a cost of US$235 million;
In January and February, they successively invested a lot of cash in the stock market to buy shares in Internet companies such as Cisco, Microsoft, Dell, Hewlett-Packard, etc., at a cost of $85 million;
"Ok."
Zhuke nodded and asked: "In other words, my personal account of 740 million U.S. dollars, currently only 20 million U.S. dollars?"
"Yes, boss." Alexander responded.
Zhu Ke, who got the affirmative answer, sighed again and again.
Once upon a time, I had to worry about the mortgage for a 70-square-meter house, but now in less than a few months, I have spent more than 700 million U.S. dollars in cash, and it is not enough, even for investment.
"The experience of life is really unpredictable!"
In addition, don’t look at the US$740 million in funds. Today there are less than US$20 million left. But the cash in Zhuke’s personal account is not just this number.
It is just that every year Wald Pictures produces movies, and the personal salary of Zhu Ke's named producer is not a small amount of income.
Someone will say, buddy, aren’t you left-handed and right-handed?
indeed!
But, all this **** is for tax avoidance and to ensure financial clarity!
For example: In early October, he bought 15% shares of McAfee Anti-Virus, and the expenditure of US$10 million was also in Zhuke’s personal account;
took a 20% stake in WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment), just like the company account of UPN TV network;
"A company is a company, and an individual is an individual!"
This is the law followed by American capitalists.
Zhu Ke has always upheld this principle and handled personal and company finances properly.
In the next time.
Zhuke asked Alexander again about the progress of the investment.
"Boss, the investment project you are still paying attention to, there is mainly one remaining, and that is Under Armour Sporting Goods Company." Alexander said.
Under Armour Sporting Goods Company?
Zhuke did not forget it because of his busy schedule.
After all, in the future, even if it is far inferior to well-known sports brands such as Nike and Adidas, it is a company with a market value of several billion dollars.
How can Zuke forget?
"We, former football star Kevin Plank, are you still holding on to Under Armour shares?" Zhu Ke sneered.
Kevin Plank, the founder and boss of Under Armour, doesn’t matter if he is an athlete, but his brain is really good and he is also quite shrewd, otherwise he would not make a record when most athletes “retire and go bankrupt” A huge net worth.
In the previous few months, Zhu Ke appointed someone to convey to Kevin Plank his idea of investing in Under Armour, but he was rejected without exception.
"Man, this is my company!"
"what?"
"You said I lack funds?!"
"Man, listen to me well, even if I drag Under Armour to hell, I will not sell any shares. Remember, this is what I said!"
This is what Kevin Plank said when Zhuke dispatched someone to the door for the first time.
...
However...
The second time, when Zhu Ke sent someone to the door, the situation changed.
"Guy, please tell Mr. Wald, Under Armour is my hard work, poured into the enthusiasm of our generation of athletes."
"Huh? Mr. Wald wants to buy shares, it's not impossible, but the price must be negotiated. After all, it has poured my hard work and enthusiasm into it. Well, it is just like my child."
Fuck!
Listen, this is so touching!
In fact, there is only one thing inside and outside the words-you have to add money!
...
In the subsequent equity purchase negotiations, Kevin Plank fully explained the duty of a greedy capitalist, and the lions opened their mouths again and again.
Hard work and enthusiasm, that is a fart!
You want to buy shares, that's great, but you have to pay a high price!
Kevin Plank, where is there a hint of a rugby player?
Regarding his lion's open mouth behavior, Zhuke did not get used to him, but chose to hang him!
"You are a greedy capitalist, our classmate Zhu Ke is not far behind you?"
Is the money I picked up so easy to get? !
No, in the face of Zhuke's cold treatment, Kevin Planck, who lacks funds, can only bite the bullet and take the initiative to negotiate with Zhuke's representative for the development of Under Armour, and is willing to lower the price.
Now, he has come to the door three times!
"Ha ha!"
Zuke raised the corner of his mouth and smiled: "Alexander, have you seen it? In the United States, in these days, the rich is the uncle, and the rich can do whatever they want!"
Alexander smiled and said nothing.
"Okay, buddy. Looking at the current situation, it's almost the same. You tell Kevin Plank that greedy bastard, $3 million, and take 45% of Under Armour." Zhu Keyang said.
"Okay, boss."
That's right, this money is not much, only a trivial US$3 million!
Compared to Zhu Ke’s huge expenditure of hundreds of millions of dollars before, he is a younger brother. However, Zhu Ke will never choose to compromise because of the problem of more money.
"Money can be given to you, but you can't speak loudly!"
...
a few days later.
The casting and viewing scene of the movie "Shards of Memory".
"Jacqueen, congratulations. You have used your efforts to win the role of the actor in this film." Zhuke said, holding Jacques's hand.
Now, Jacques Phoenix is naturally very excited, "Thank you! Thank you, Mr. Wald."
He is the "Joker" who will not be inferior to Heath Ledger in the future. Although he has appeared in many movies now, he has not played the role of the actor in any movie~www.wuxiaspot.com~What?
Didn’t you say that he has played the leading role in the movie "Fatal Turn" produced by Wald Pictures?
Ha ha!
Man, the so-called male protagonist in the movie "Fatal Turn" is just one of the protagonists in the group drama. Moreover, the audience who watched the film mainly focused on the ogres.
As for other characters?
Sorry, not many viewers can remember even if it is the hero and heroine.
Zhuke still admires the actor Jackie Phoenix.
Not talking about acting skills, just in terms of life style, he is much better than his dead brother Revan Phoenix, known as the "Hollywood Golden Boy".
At least Jackie doesn’t take drugs!
90% of the actors and actresses in the Hollywood entertainment industry are drug users. This is an extremely shocking fact.
Movie Title: "Shards of Memory"
Screenplay: Jonathan Nolan;
Director: Christopher Nolan;
Producer: Zhuke Wald;
Actor: Jacques Phoenix;
Actress: Jennifer Connelly;
Well, speaking of Jennifer Connelly, the heroine, Zhuke chose her because of her acting skills and looks. Of course, the figure is also very good.
This is the fact that Zhuke personally verified.
I have to say that Jennifer Connelly, who is 27 years old and has just given birth to her first child in just one year, is really powerful in some aspects. Rao is Zhu Ke who has seen many big scenes, but he almost didn't stand up a few times.
The second update of "" is sent.
Thanks to the book friend "Half-Dao and Half-Year Master" for their rewards.
