#1225 Watson family(1/2)

No matter in his past life or in this life, Yang Ming didn't do much research on the financial field, he only knew some superficial things.

Therefore, under the advice of his uncle, he currently entrusts the financial management of all his industries to professional organizations, and at the same time, he is slowly cultivating his own talents through various recruitments.

Even if Yang Ming has no research on finance, he clearly feels that China's finance in this world has undergone earth-shaking changes compared with the previous life.

That is, he has rarely heard of local companies in this world going all out to get listed on Wall Street or Nasdaq, and they have to pay a lot of money to achieve this goal.

Magic City!

It is the economic capital of contemporary China and the financial heart of East Asia. It ranks as the two largest financial capitals in the world with Wall Street in the United States.

As for London, it has completely come to an end in this life.

It is precisely because all corporate finance companies in China and even in East Asia almost never seek to be listed on the Nasdaq in the United States. This also makes Wall Street's financial giants have no good way to deal with the coveted East Asian companies.

If you have no desires, you will be strong.

It is precisely because of this that WeChat makes financial giants on Wall Street feel that they have nowhere to go.

Once people don't consider listing on Nasdaq at all, the elites on Wall Street have no clear excuse, and they don't dare to use other methods.

After all, WeChat is no longer a small company. Not to mention the Chinese government, even the Chinese financial elites in the Magic City will not allow others to touch their own companies, because they know that once WeChat chooses to go public, it will definitely choose the Magic City of their country, not others.

stock market.

Various factors have come together to make some Wall Street venture capital funds that are extremely optimistic about WeChat's future offer higher and higher prices, hoping to obtain the original shares of WeChat and get a piece of the pie after WeChat goes public.

Among the many generous offers from venture capital funds, there was one offer that made Yang Ming quite tempted.

gox TV network, plus a portion of cash, in exchange for 15% of WeChat shares.

This is an offer that is enough to impress Yang Ming.

The same thing also made Yang Ming feel nervous. It was obvious that the other party had studied his information carefully and knew what he expected to obtain.

If such a person cannot become a friend, then becoming an enemy will definitely cause a lot of trouble.

To be honest, in this life, Yang Ming is not too afraid of the Wall Street forces that crushed many Chinese capitals in his previous life; because the United States is not the only one who has the final say in the global financial order in this world, China at least accounts for a large part of it.

Part of the right to speak.

Under such circumstances, the worst he can do is give up the American film market. Anyway, as long as he relies on the East Asian film market, he will be in an invincible position.

If the other party gets confused and insists on targeting Yang Ming on East Asia's territory, he probably won't even need to take action. The guys in Shanghai and the government's Ministry of Commerce will teach the big guys on Wall Street how to behave in minutes.

Sometimes, having a strong country at your back makes people from all walks of life feel confident outside.

At least this is how Yang Ming feels in this life.

However, he does not exclude cooperation with the other party.

Anyway, WeChat's shares will inevitably be divided before going public, allowing others to join in and share the dividends.

The only reason to blame is that the future prospects of WeChat are too bright. It is obviously impossible for Yang Ming alone to swallow it in one gulp, otherwise he may end up with a bad stomach.

As long as he guarantees that his own shares, combined with his brother-in-law's shares, can occupy the majority of the shares and have a certain say, it is enough.

Even after the company is listed, the combined shares of the two companies only need to account for about 30%.

Professional matters should be left to professionals. After all, Yang Ming's focus cannot be on the Internet.

The Langham Huntington, Pasadena, Los Angeles is a unique and lasting light of elegance in this city.

When Yang Ming and Barber arrived at this hotel by car, he saw this palace-style hotel from the car window and knew that this was a hotel with history.

"This hotel has a history of more than 100 years, but it has just been renovated. Although the hotel is old, the facilities inside are world-class." Barber saw Yang Ming looking at the hotel and introduced it to him.

Hearing Barber's words, the corners of Yang Ming's mouth curled up slightly. As long as these elites and families in the West have achieved some success, they will basically use some historical items to show that they are born aristocrats.

Too cliche.

But after he got off the car, he walked into the Pasadena Langham Huntington and looked around the surroundings. He had to say that this hotel was so classy.

The pleasant climate and environment of Los Angeles create a perfect and peaceful country here.

The outstanding service and classic tradition made Yang Ming's eyes shine even more, creating the most magnificent and dazzling Pasadena luxury hotel.

He heard from Barber that Hollywood stars and celebrities most like to stay in this quiet and leisurely palace hotel.

"Yang Ming!"

As soon as Yang Ming and Barber walked through the door, they saw Li Xingyi waiting for them in the lobby.

"Uncle."

Li Xingyi smiled and waved to Yang Ming and Barber, while standing next to Li Xingyi was a young Western white man in a suit and tie. He also smiled and greeted Yang Ming and the others with a smile and a very gentlemanly nod.

Yang Ming also smiled and said hello.

"Yang Ming, this is Thomas Watson of the Watson family; Thomas, this is Yang Ming." Li Xingyi extended his hand to introduce everyone.

"Hello."

"Nice to meet you."

Both parties shook hands and exchanged a few polite words.

"My father is waiting for everyone to arrive inside. He is very eager to get to know Mr. Yang Ming." Thomas smiled slowly and said elegantly.

This is simply the style of Western aristocracy carved out of the mold.

Yang Ming couldn't help but complain in his heart. In the past few years, he had been traveling abroad a lot, and he was already very familiar with Western practices.

However, he didn't say much. Instead, he and Barber walked towards a room in the hotel under the guidance of Thomas.

This time, Yang Ming requested that the location of the negotiation between the two parties be in Los Angeles.

Los Angeles is not the headquarters of the Watson family, so they carefully chose the location for the negotiation to be at the Langham Huntington Hotel in Pasadena.

Simon Watson.

Yang Ming finally met the so-called famous core figure of the Watson family, as his brother-in-law said.

On the surface, he is the major shareholder of a Wall Street venture capital company, and he rarely shows up. Most matters are handled by his eldest son, Thomas, whom Yang Ming just met.

These foreigners like to hide themselves deeply.

However, these identities are not important to Yang Ming. The most important thing is that the other party has absolute controlling rights in Gox TV Network.

This is what Yang Ming deserves to pay attention to.

The other party was still wearing a suit and leather shoes, smiling and looking like a polite gentleman.

After Simon shook hands with Yang Ming cordially, he smiled and said: "I didn't expect Mr. Yang to be so young. It's incredible. At your age, I'm probably still hanging out in the bar."

Yang Ming smiled when he heard this. He had heard too many such compliments and had already become immune.

I just said a few words and got over it.

Everyone sat down and didn't chat for too long. They quickly mentioned the topic of their meeting today.

"I wonder, Yang, how you feel about our previous offer? You know, I was under a lot of pressure to take out Gox's shares. Many people in the family are not in favor of taking out Gox's shares for the transaction." Simon got straight to the point.

He said with a playful smile on his face.

Yang Ming did not take the other party's words to heart. He looked at the tea cup in his hand, turned it around, and said with a faint smile: "To be honest, if it were possible, I would not transfer the original shares of WeChat now. You know, the transfer now

, my losses cannot be measured by hundreds of millions of meters of gold!"

“Actually, I’m also very confused!”

After saying this, the corners of Yang Ming's mouth raised slightly.

To him, WeChat is completely like the emperor's daughter, and he has no worries about getting married.

Even if he wants to get married, he will choose a husband's family with a more generous betrothal gift.

After several rounds of probing and verbal exchanges between the two sides, Thomas, who was sitting on the side, couldn't help it anymore: "Yang, aren't you satisfied with Gox's shares? You know, according to the rules of the United States, you Chinese citizens

It is impossible to own an American TV station, and we are not even allowed to own shares."

When Yang Ming heard this, his eyes flashed sharply, he glanced at Thomas, and said leisurely: "If I can get the best, it won't have much impact on me if I don't have it. After all, for me, China and even East Asia

That’s my foundation.”

What he said caused everyone present to have different thoughts.

Barber looked at Yang Ming secretly and strangely.

Everyone here, even Li Xingyi, may not understand Yang Ming's great ambitions better than Barber.

No one knows Yang Ming's desire to build a media empire better than Barber.

Gox TV Network's shares are undoubtedly a God-given opportunity for Yang Ming.

How could my young boss not want it?

But now that Yang Ming said these words, it was obviously false.

However, I have to say that gox's shares are too attractive.

Barber wanted to open his mouth to say something, but he still didn't speak. In this capital game, he had no room to interrupt.

This time, he came here mainly because he wanted to know the news of the successful cooperation and Oriental DreamWorks getting gox shares as soon as possible.
