Vol 3 Chapter 712: This is too small
"Hollywood starts with animation (
Lehman Brothers.
It is also a financial company located on Wall Street and is known as one of the top five investment banks on Wall Street.
Since its establishment more than 150 years ago, it has used a huge amount of funds to continuously impact the financial markets of various countries and regions in order to make huge profits. In June 2002, the two major financial journals of the United States "Business Week" and "International Finance Review" also named Lehman Brothers as the "Best Investment Bank of 2002", and the overall research strength ranks among the "Institutions" "Investor" ranked first.
At the same time, it has deep tentacles in various fields such as technology, the Internet, medicine, real estate, energy, and minerals.
But just with this?
of course not!
The comprehensive investment department under the name of Lehman Brothers also owns some shares in Disneyland and Universal Studios. Although it holds a small share, it also earns a considerable degree of return every year.
This is not~
They now...are eyeing the Harry Potter theme park under construction.
At this moment, in the huge office of the president, there are only two people, namely CEO Richard Fuld, and Ren Smith, who is in charge of the 110-person investment team and the manager of the Lehman Investment Department.
"Remember my words!"
"I don't watch the process, I just want the result!"
"Investing in Disneyland and Universal Studios in just 8 years has brought extremely generous returns to the company. The cumulative amount is not less than 340 million U.S. dollars. We have earned more than twice as much. Now Harry Potter Theme park, you must participate in me."
"Don't forget, the leader of the Harry Potter theme park is Zhuke Wald, who is known as the'baby fox'."
CEO Richard Fuld said solemnly.
Ren Smith: "..."
That's right!
Zhu Ke has a new title, and he is praised by Wall Street people as-Baby Fox!
Since Zhu Ke established Dafeng Capital, he has won countless successes in the Asian financial crisis, the Japanese Ehime, the attack on Barclays, the Internet bubble, the Enron incident, and the WorldCom incident.
Financial Superman?
Haha, this name has been overthrown by Hollywood figures, and Zhuke is referred to as a young fox!
This is definitely a very agreeable title.
Investment manager Rene Smith said with a sorrowful expression, "Boss, you know, that guy Zhuke Wald is an extremely difficult person to deal with, and he has a very close relationship with Wall Delen of Goldman Sachs Investment Bank. Fortunately, it is difficult for us to take advantage of the Harry Potter theme park project, after all... he is a cub!"
"Humph!"
CEO Richard Fuld immediately snorted: "Of course I know he is a cub, no need to remind you, but don't forget, who am I?!"
Zhu Ke is known as a young fox;
Richard Fuld, who served as the CEO of Lehman Brothers, was unanimously called by Wall Street-Wall Street's most vicious bulldog!
"Yes, boss!"
Rene Smith, the investment manager, was immediately excited.
In 1969, Fuld joined Lehman Brothers as a small trader's assistant, commonly known as intern and temporary worker;
In 1993, he took over from American Express, independent Lehman Brothers, and listed Lehman Brothers in 1994.
It is worth mentioning that the "adventure" gene of Lehman Brothers is also deeply implanted in Ferder. He often said: "Cooperating with me must be bloody."
Facts have proved that he is indeed a crazy and very successful adventurer.
Since 1993, he separated Lehman Brothers from American Express. In less than 10 years, Richard Fuld has developed Lehman Brothers into a large investment bank comparable to Merrill Lynch and Goldman Sachs, with a market value. Compared with 1993, it has increased by 20 times!
.......
The next day.
In the afternoon.
Lehman Brothers Investment Manager Ren Smith took the order of CEO Fuld and took the flight overnight and arrived in Los Angeles.
He wants to interview Zhuke personally.
"Oh?"
"You said that the current CEO of Lehman Brothers is Fuld, um, that guy who is hailed as'Wall Street's fiercest bulldog"?"
"I know him!"
Zhuke smiled and looked at Renn who was sitting in front of him.
Rehn said in a bad tone: "Mr. Wald, as a gentleman, a super rich man, you should call him Mr. Fuld, not that guy."
The Lord humiliated the minister to death.
What's more, Lehman Brothers, where he works, is one of the five largest investment banks on Wall Street, not a general one. As one of Lehman's executives, he is not at all concerned about Zhuke's power.
"Hahaha~"
Zhuke waved his hand and smiled: "Well, I apologize."
Well, don't mention how perfunctory at this moment.
Of course Zhuke knew Fuld, and knew that he was best at slanting the sword, and his bones were full of risk-taking genes.
I also know that Lehman Brothers fell in the subprime mortgage crisis in 2008!
In that crisis, in just 4 days, Lehman Brothers lost more than 90% of its market value and debts amounted to US$610 billion (approximately 4 trillion yuan).
As a traverser, Zhu Ke knew this clearly.
"Mr. Wald, my intention is very clear. Lehman Brothers, our company, has expressed strong interest in your company's Harry Potter theme park. We are willing to participate in it."
Ren said.
Zhu Ke applauded: "Welcome, welcome!"
As long as it is not a fellow Hollywood counterpart, Zhuke is always willing to come.
"but......"
After a pause, Rehn said with a solemn expression: "Los Angeles, Sydney, Australia, Tianchao Shanghai, Tokyo, Japan, London, England, there are five Harry Potter theme parks, will it be a bit less, and the floor space is also It’s too small."
He was referring to Harry Potter Paradise in Los Angeles!
Covers an area of 12 hectares.
It is much less than Disney's park area of hundreds of hectares at every turn.
Even the smallest Hong Kong Disneyland has an area of more than 120 hectares. As for Disney in Japan, Disney in France, and the future of Disney in the Great Heavenly Dynasty, the area is even more than a few hundred hectares, not less than 250 hectares.
"12 hectares, I don't think it is too small." Zhu Ke said categorically.
In the original time and space, the Harry Potter Land in Florida, which was co-operated by Disney and Universal, only covers an area of only 8 hectares.
Ren: "......"
He was speechless.
Before coming here, he knew that Zhuke was very difficult.
But now it seems that Zhuke’s degree of difficulty is much greater than he thought~www.wuxiaspot.com~Why didn’t Zhuke match up to Disneyland and recruit a Harry Potter covering an area of several hundred hectares. Where is the paradise?
There are three reasons!
1. No money.
2. The current influence of Harry Potter books and movies has not yet reached its peak, and there is no need to build a large theme park of several hundred hectares.
3. To facilitate Zhuke's future operations.
The third point is the most important thing, and it is also a prerequisite for Zhuke to manipulate others.
The first thing to be clear is that all parks, theme parks, etc., must be built indefinitely, um, or the expansion will not stop.
For example, Tokyo Disneyland in Japan has been expanded several times since its opening in the 1980s, and the area has been expanded and then expanded.
At the same time, as long as Zhuke holds the copyright of "Harry Potter", Zhuke will still have the greatest say when the Harry Potter theme park is expanded in the future.
How cunning!
"Humph!"
Renn immediately snorted coldly: "Mr. Wald, please don't think of me as a fool! What doesn't require a lot of floor space, you just don't want to pay, but also want to control the right to speak in Harry Potter Paradise. That's it."
He said it directly!
No way, who made Zhu Ke deceive people too much? !
"How is it? You don't need to participate!" Zhu Ke said with a smile.
"you!"
Renn was furious.
He really underestimated Zhu Ke's shamelessness, he never expected Zhu Ke to admit it directly.
.......
Ten days later.
The foreign investment promotion of Harry Potter theme park was successfully concluded.
The first payment of US$1.5 billion was successfully achieved.
Zhu Ke didn't pay a cent, but he enjoyed 21% of the project's income.
"" The second update is sent.
