Chapter 368: A good stock for making a quick buck and running away
Our ancestors were right again.
When you are well fed and warm, you think about that.
I kind of suspect that after several failed relationships, she started to learn to "use her beauty to commit crimes" and regarded herself as a delicious and juicy piece of meat.
We filmed the scene for a whole day.
When I returned to the hotel in the evening, I ordered some grilled pork neck, grilled mantis shrimp and beer and asked the waiter to deliver them to my room.
Thinking that Gao Yuanyuan lived across the street, he forced himself to divert his attention and opened his laptop to search for leading mainland stocks related to real estate and infrastructure projects.
If I remember correctly, around 2008, the entire market ushered in a big boom.
Investing 2400 million US dollars in these sectors is not only stable, but also has a lot of room for imagination in terms of returns, making it very suitable for making a quick buck and running away.
Penguin and Apple are now more suitable for long-term investment.
The share price of Penguin Group has increased more than fourfold in the past year. It will probably take some time to digest before it can continue to rise, which does not meet his needs for short-term speculation.
Searching for relevant information one by one in the order on the web page, you can see a lot of comments under the news, saying things like "Houses in Pudong are only worth 3000 yuan per square meter at most, who would buy them except outsiders", and "There are empty houses everywhere in the countryside, and the new generation of young people after the family planning policy will not lack houses in the future", etc.
Fan Wumian smiled happily and continued to read other news.
After drinking two bottles of beer and finishing the barbecue, he just burped when he suddenly saw a piece of news on the web.
The main content is that Carlyle Group signed a contract with Quzhou Heavy Industry last year, planning to invest a total of US$3.75 million to acquire 85% of the shares of Quzhou Heavy Industry, which may have an impact on its competitor "Sanyao Heavy Industry".
Both Quzhou Heavy Industry and Sanyao Heavy Industry mainly produce engineering equipment. They are upstream leading enterprises in the field of infrastructure engineering and are closely related to the sector that Fan Wumian is eyeing.
I vaguely remember seeing a self-media blogger bring up this matter, and my impression was that in the end the acquisition of Quzhou Heavy Industry fell through.
I finally came across something that left a slight impression on me.
Fan Wumian immediately searched for relevant information and found that the executives of Sanyao Group had posted many messages on Penguin Weibo and major forums to oppose the acquisition.
Since the news of Quzhou Heavy Industry's possible acquisition came out, Sanyao Heavy Industry's stock price has fallen a lot. Investors are worried that the construction machinery market will be occupied by foreign capital, affecting Sanyao Heavy Industry's future profit prospects.
In addition, a recent article mentioned that the acquisition of Quzhou Heavy Industry by Carlyle Group was expected to be concluded last month.
Now that April is almost over, the acquisition case has still not been approved, and I am afraid that some new changes will occur.
It's not hard to tell from the comments below.
Foreign capital has used the low-price acquisition of local brands as a springboard to enter the mainland market time and time again to make huge profits. From beer, shampoo, skin care products, to beverages and food, home appliances and the financial industry, the siege and crazy suppression of local brands has made many people dissatisfied.
The public opinion is almost one-sided, with most netizens hoping that Quzhou Heavy Industry will be acquired by Sanyao Heavy Industry rather than continue to be sold to foreign companies.
From the clues of official delay in approval, it seems that if I remember correctly, this huge acquisition will eventually fail.
Combined with his optimism about the real estate and infrastructure engineering sectors, Fan Wumian successfully developed a strong interest in "Sanyao Heavy Industry".
It took some time.
He looked through the financial reports of the past three years and the patent documents applied for by Sanyao Heavy Industry, and then looked at the advantages and disadvantages of its products and foreign products.
Although the technology is a little behind now, its advantage is its high cost performance and more convenient maintenance and after-sales service, so the reviews are quite good.
There was nothing to hesitate about, and Fan Wumian quickly made a decision. He wanted to use the funds, including the final payment of US$2400 million, to build a position and buy shares of Sanyao Heavy Industry.
Later, when he opened the mini-game to relax and entertain himself, he was still thinking that many foreign companies were like the intelligent beings released by the Trisolarans. They not only acquired many domestic brands in a pick-and-choose manner, but also used their most proficient media and public relations channels to brainwash people for marketing.
Many luxury brands have women's bags that cost less than 100 yuan to produce, and they are just made of canvas or plastic, but they can be sold for tens of thousands of yuan. Yet, they still attract so many people who save money to buy them. It simply doesn't make sense.
There are some brands selling shoes and clothing that beg for food from the Chinese people. They even dare to boycott cotton from the Northwest and hope that consumers will continue to buy it. They really think they are the boss. Their thought processes are so bizarre that it is unimaginable. They think they are making too much money.
Following this line of thought, he wondered what he could do.
My mind suddenly became clear.
Fan Wumian found that he should establish or reverse-acquire several existing foreign brands, and then monetize his own and his company's artists' traffic by selling various products to the outside world. In the past, Korean dramas themselves may not make much money, but through the "Korean Wave" sweeping across Asia, it has brought cosmetics, electronic products, cars, clothing brands, etc. into the spotlight, and the profit scale is quite considerable.
"The Lonely and Great God" is very popular, and Fan Wumian has grasped the essence of the traffic code. He has invested in and filmed so many projects, it would be a pity not to use them to promote products, and it would be a waste of precious resources.
Just do it.
Fan Wumian had just laid down when he got up again and sat in front of the computer, first looking for some brands he remembered.
For example, Feili, a shoe maker, is still a European brand and has not been acquired by mainland companies.
There is also Peraya, a skin care product manufacturer. It was founded in Lin'an in 2003 and has already launched several products and tried to open counters in shopping malls.
As for the old luxury goods companies, they are everywhere in France and Italy in Europe; they just lack channels for marketing and promotion.
The first thing that came to his mind was the Italian brand "Valentino", which focuses on royal sister style, maturity and sexiness. The shoes produced by this company are known as "speed attack shoes" suitable for wearing in bed.
With "making women sexy" as a selling point, it is easy to become popular as long as you are willing to spend money and effort on publicity.
of course.
According to Fan Wumian’s experience, it still lacks an eye-catching logo. It would be best if people can tell at a glance that it is expensive, which would make it easier to open up the Asian market.
He conceived a fashion group involving multiple fields in his mind, and he felt that this business was much more promising than investing in Tudou.com. Although there was also a risk of being counterfeited and pirated, it was easier to get customers to pay.
After a while of impulse, Fan Wumian went back to the big bed, lying down, holding his head, crossing his legs, and muttering to himself:
"It's too troublesome to run a physical business. Isn't this decision going against our ancestors? It will only bring trouble to myself."
On second thought, life is just a struggle.
It's quite boring to invest money in a listed company and then watch it grow as it's just a string of numbers in an account.
Making money itself is not stressful for Fan Wumian. The 10% of Penguin shares alone is enough for him to live off the dividends for several lifetimes. The important thing is to add some highlights to his life.
I have the idea and I am not short of money.
The Penguin shares he held appreciated in value by more than HK$1 billion. For several months, Fan Wumian had not borrowed money to increase his holdings, so it was quite easy for him to borrow around US$100 million from the bank.
YouTube, which is backed by Silicon Valley venture capital, would take an additional amount from Fan Wumian every time it raised funds to keep its 25% equity ratio from being diluted.
Youtube's valuation jumps up at any time, and the money obtained from the B round of financing is mainly used to increase the company's revenue to prove that the amazing number of active users can be monetized.
When the revenue data goes up, the market will give a higher valuation. Then, by finding a sucker to sell Youtube, Fan Wumian will be able to get at least $100 million or $200 million.
The scale of net assets has increased to 30 to 40 billion Hong Kong dollars. If Shanzeiwang Media and Tudou.com can be raised and listed as soon as possible, their value will increase further.
With too many things on his mind, Fan Wumian had a rare insomnia. He sent a message to Zhuang Muxi, saying: "I can't sleep alone. Come quickly."
It was almost 11 o'clock in the evening, and I thought Zhuang Muxi had already gone to bed.
He quickly received a text message reply.
Zhuang Muxi wrote: "You came to see me so late, are you missing me or are you angry in the middle of the night?"
As a secret lover, Zhuang Muxi was undoubtedly very qualified. She was not competitive or aggressive in her daily life and had a very quiet and well-behaved personality.
The fact that she asked such a question meant that she hadn't contacted her often recently and was starting to feel a little dissatisfied.
Fan Wumian called back directly and said:
"We shoot from morning till night every day. Sing is even stricter and more demanding than the director. When he gets stuck in a dead end, he can shoot a plot more than ten times, which puts the entire crew under a high pressure. Labor Day is coming in a few days, and the holiday is so long. I will temporarily add a role for you. You can come and accompany me."
On the other end of the phone, Zhuang Muxi replied:
"Then I will take a day off tomorrow. A lot of fans of the drama are coming to my school and home to look for me. I will just go to your place to hide."
