Chapter 481 Capital Injection

Because for a long time, he managed the investment of IC Capital and needed to come to Silicon Valley frequently, so Barron bought a villa here and gave it to Ivanta. When she was in Silicon Valley, Everybody will live here.

Barron also stayed here during his stay in Silicon Valley.

Among Barron's women, Ivanta is more fond of sports, and because of this, her figure is very toned.

However, the current status of Barron and Ivanta made it inconvenient for the two of them to go out for a morning jog together. After getting up, the two of them used the treadmill to exercise in the gym of the villa.

Of course, after exercising, you will inevitably burn some more calories when you take a bath together.

"Are you going to leave after dinner later, honey?"

"Well, there is a board meeting at Sinclair Group that needs to be attended. I wanted to stay with you for a few more days..."

Ivanta hugged Barron and said reluctantly.

"It's okay, honey, I'll go to Los Angeles soon, and then I'll go to China first."

Since the "unexpected" death of David Smith, John Smith has gained control of the family trust, which has also consolidated his position as chairman and CEO of Sinclair Group.

But what was before him was how to get the Sinclair Group back on track.

This time he convened the board of directors in the hope of formulating a future plan for Sinclair Group, just as he had hoped to do before, focusing part of his attention on the Internet industry - something that News Corporation had already started to do before. Yes, they acquired MySpace from IC Capital and it seems to be developing well.

Therefore, as the CEO of IC Capital who entered the Internet industry earlier and has considerable experience, Ivanta’s opinions are also valued by John Smith.

According to Ivanta, John Smith currently hopes to acquire a company with expertise in big data research to provide more professional advice for the production of TV stations under their group.

Barron knows that the direction chosen by John Smith is still good. It is much better than News Corp.’s choice to enter the social network track through MySpace. It’s not that it is impossible to do so, but it is just that in previous lives Speaking from experience, News Corporation is still a bit eager for quick success.

…

"The other three shareholders are bargaining over the price, but according to what you said, we are not letting go."

After Barron arrived in Los Angeles, he met Annika Dawson, CEO of Blue Valley Capital.

After hearing what she reported, Barron nodded and said:

"We are not in a hurry. After all, they also want to see if MGM's situation will be better after the release of the new 007 movie..."

"That's right. Following Sony's previous approach, we temporarily stopped other MGM Pictures projects and tried to reduce expenditures as much as possible to at least avoid the expansion of losses."

Since this is the case, Blue Valley Capital can just spend it with the other three shareholders first. Anyway, at present, what Barron cares most about MGM Pictures is their rich film library. The size of these film libraries, It is the largest of these film companies in Hollywood.

You may not be able to see anything now, but when streaming media develops in the future, the importance of content will be very obvious. With the content of these libraries, not to mention Barron’s, DailyVedio.com and YouTube, even Netflix , is also very needed, which can allow him to take the initiative in investing in Netflix in the future.

As for MGM's future film production...

Barron's is not in a hurry. Anyway, even if it remains as it is in the past two years, the problem will not be big. After the subprime mortgage crisis occurs, I am afraid that the shareholders of MGM Holdings will cry and sell it at a lower price. their shares.

Now, Blue Valley Capital can focus more on the development of Summit Entertainment and Marvel Entertainment. When Summit Entertainment's "Twilight" series and Marvel Entertainment's "Iron Man" After the success of the series, their vision in film and television production will be recognized by others.

As for the other superhero movie "The Incredible Hulk" that Marvel Studios originally planned to shoot... it's not impossible. Although the original series of movies is not considered a success, if a different director is used, it should at least be You won’t lose too much.

These movies themselves are still necessary for the future launch of the Marvel Universe. These movies also led to the "Avengers" series that was like a money printing machine.

"Also Annika, I will inject capital into Blue Valley Capital in the future, but I am not preparing to continue acquisitions, but will use these funds for financial investment..."

"Then the loan we previously obtained from Rich23 Capital..."

When acquiring Marvel Entertainment, its funds mainly came from loans obtained by Blue Valley Capital from Rich23 Capital. Rich23 Capital pledged part of its shares and obtained loans from Standard Chartered Bank. Naturally, the interest on these loans It will also be borne by Blue Valley Capital.

Barron smiled and said:

"You don't need to worry about any of this, especially after this investment..."

After mastering Kolo, another benefit brought to Barron is that he has richer channels for capital circulation, just like when he transferred funds from DS Group to companies such as IC Capital and Blue Valley Capital, he was able to use There are more channels and more offshore companies to carry out covertly.

In terms of investment in response to the subprime mortgage crisis, in Europe, it is enough to directly use funds under the DS Group. In Asia, it has Rich23 Capital and Tianhe Capital, a local company in China.

As for the United States, it will mainly use the Black Swan Fund just acquired.

Not long ago, IC Capital and Blue Valley Capital each invested US$50 million in the Black Swan Fund, which was only used for initial position building.

Immediately, these two investment companies will invest more funds in the Black Swan Fund.

IC Capital has started the mortgage process and will use the 14.4% Woaw shares currently held by IC Capital to loan US$2 billion to Citibank.

Blue Valley Capital will also receive an injection of US$2 billion from the Cavendish Trust Fund.

This total of 4 billion U.S. dollars of funds will be gradually invested in the Black Swan Fund, first used to invest in U.S. real estate-related stocks and bonds.

Then at the right time, he went short on the backhand to profit from the subprime mortgage crisis.

As Barron said, after this investment, not to mention Blue Valley Capital's previous borrowings, there will be no shortage of funds for the various acquisitions they will make later.
