Chapter 171 You Shameless Fraudster
Cang Yaozu was calling Edgar Little to see if he could help acquire Coach. Edgar Little is very convinced by Cang Yaozu. He also followed Cang Yaozu to operate the Thai baht and made almost US$150 million. Taking advantage of the low point during this period, a new round of shorting the Thai baht is being started.
Edgar Little One heard that Cang Yaozu was going to acquire Coach, so he agreed. He knew that Coach had developed poorly in recent years and could only be regarded as a mid-to-high-end brand in the United States and was far from being top-notch.
The United States' Sally Group bought Coach for $30 million in 1985 and took over Coach's workshops, six specialty stores and a flagship store. In 1995, Louis Frankfurt became Coach's executive chairman and CEO. In December 1996, fashion designer Reed Krakoff was hired as creative director. The current overall valuation of Coach should not exceed US$100 million.
Edgar Jr. also told Cang Yaozu that the Los Angeles Times had exposed John Elkan's identity and also dug up the identity of Ginny Elkan. Now Cang Yaozu has been promoted to the hateful Oriental novice. There are many male stars in Hollywood who say they want to compete with you. Ginny is a hot commodity.
"The news about me has not stopped yet?" Cang Yaozu asked Edgar.
"Your two rumored girlfriends are goddesses of Italy and France. Ginny, a quasi-wealthy socialite, was named your real girlfriend by the media. You are also Tottenham striker and Alien Ronnie's partner. Well, the love affair spans the two circles of movies and sports will definitely not be popular for a while."
"That happens. I have no plans to go to the United States recently. I am going to stay in the Magic City honestly."
"You're just looking at your foreign exchange operations? Can you rest assured? You can sleep? That's a plate worth tens of billions of dollars. If you lose money, you'll go bankrupt! Also, which girlfriend of Coach wants it? I feel like you shouldn't be interested in these women's light luxury brands."
"Sophie, i, I'm a little jealous."
"Okay, it's too expensive to pick up a girl. You still have so many. Do you want to buy all the good companies in the world?"
"I buy companies for my women and for myself. Generally speaking, I give them no more than 20% of the shares, and the maximum is no more than 20% for the original management team. It mainly depends on management ability. The initial one is less, within 5%. With the improvement of working years and performance, I can get the highest 20%. 20% is from the entire management team, not from the individual.
The controlling rights of the company are basically in my hands. At the right time, I will also restructure the equity of these companies and implement AB shares, that is, a double-layer equity structure. I can also dilute the shares held by small shareholders through financing and other means. In the future, I will control these companies through family trust funds."
"Okay, you're so bad. I'll help you buy Coach. I continued to stare at foreign exchange transactions. I'm so happy to see my money increasing every day."
"Then what's there to watch? You must make money. I don't even read the news now. I'm not a black man. Although I diluted their shares, their net asset value has increased. Financing is good for the company and individuals. By the way, the filming of "Hangover" has been completed? Should you, the vice president of Universal Pictures, be watching this?"
"It seems that the filming has been completed. I am just a vice president and just a salary. That guy Robert Eiger is very capable. He is indeed a little better than me. At least Universal will not lose money anymore.
By the way, Jennifer seems to be angry with you. If she goes to the Demon City to find you, then she doesn't want to break up with you. If she doesn't go to the Demon City to find you, then your relationship will be over. I heard that Brad Pitt has been chasing her very hard recently and sending flowers every day. This is the second only scandal in Los Angeles after you in love with each other during this period."
"Jennifer has a bodyguard that I arranged by me. Did you forget? She was a little angry with me, but she had already booked a flight ticket. She flew directly to the Demon City in Los Angeles. It should be here next week. I will pick her up in person when the time comes."
"Haha, then you're in trouble. Love corners will soon rise to love corners."
"Impossible. There are not so many paparazzi here in China, and Jennifer may not be recognized. My popularity is not that high. There are basically no negative news about me in China. Well, there are no positive ones. I don't have much popularity here."
"How is it possible? Is there a media desert where you are? Is the Internet not reprinted? Yahoo has your news."
"You forgot that Penguin.com is mine, and this is the only news portal in China now."
"My God, you're so awesome. I'm going to invest in the Internet in China."
"Welcome, but you will be under my full pressure for many years."
"There are always areas that you haven't gotten into. Do you have a game company?"
"This is really not the case. You can invest. It's best to bring a game engine and then localize it."
"The picture you sent me on QQ is the new house you bought in Magic City? The yard is so big. I saw a lake and a small stone bridge. Isn't it true? It looks like a park."
"Well, it's true. It cost me $24 million. The original owner of the house has immigrated to the United States. It's not easy to ask me to pay $24 million. I don't have the nerve to lower the price."
"Well, what are you playing recently? Should you continue to pick up girls or acquire a company? I feel that you have nothing else to do, your life is meaningless."
"There are still the same girls. I would rather have nothing than be too bad. The company is also acquiring them, but my goal has turned to Sakura Country. The economy of Sakura Country has not been good in recent years, and it will be even worse in the next two years. I send someone to play a front station to see if I can buy some good things.
There is something really fun recently. Didn’t I ask Lantian Studio to create an animated feature film "Kung Fu Panda", and then I sent the first part to Shudu Giant Panda Base. I also promised to help them build a Kung Fu Panda theme park in Shudu. Well, I will pay the construction fee."
"What are you going to do? I feel something is wrong with you. Yes, you are fishing." Edgar knew that Cang Yaozu was not a person who would suffer losses.
"Yes, I'm fishing. To be precise, I'm fishing for pandas. I also promised to donate 10% of the entire series of "Kung Fu Panda" in China to the giant panda breeding research base. My request was to better create five-part cartoons in the series "Kung Fu Panda". I hope the giant panda base can send a pair of giant panda babies to me for my observation. I asked them to send two nurserymen at the same time. Of course, I will pay the salary of these two nurserymen, and I will send a construction team to help me build a venue for giant pandas to live in. Guess what?"
"Since you mean, did they agree?"
"Yes, the people sent by the giant panda base have supervised the construction staff to build a panda hall in my yard, and the bamboos are being transplanted. In a few days, I will go to the Shudu giant panda base to pick up a pair of my big babies."
"How is it possible? They were deceived. Without pandas, you can create the cartoon "Kung Fu Panda". The animation image has been finalized. You shameless fraudster, pandas are so cute, you even want to cheat on giant pandas. It's so inhumane. I want to report you to the Animation Organization."
"Haha, the people at the giant panda base attach great importance to the cartoon "Kung Fu Panda". They believe that this will greatly enhance the international image of giant pandas. I hope that I can create Abao more vivid and realistic. I also authorized the animation image of this cartoon to them for free to use the giant panda base. When the video is produced, I will also help them build a luxury cinema and play this cartoon in a loop at that time, which should attract many children.
"Kung Fu Panda" IP has to be filmed for 10 years and 8 years. You are welcome to come to my house to watch giant pandas. It is okay to hug them, but in the past two years, when they grow up, you probably won't be able to hug them anymore."
"I can still operate like this. I admire you. Although you will spend a lot of money, you can live with a pair of giant pandas. I envy you so much. When will you pick up giant pandas and go home?"
"It probably will take one week. I have found several engineering teams. I used the best materials for the giant pandas living, but it can't be built in just a few days. Unfortunately, my private jet has not been delivered yet, otherwise I can drive over to pick up the panda baby."
"I, I have a private jet, I have a Gulfstream V, I will fly to the Demon City in a week, you must wait for me."
"Okay, but can your Gulfstream V fly so far?"
"Of course, my Gulfstream V voyage is 12,000 kilometers. It's not a big problem to fly to the Magic City. If it really doesn't work, I'll just transfer in Tokyo."
"That's the case, are you familiar with Gulfstream? Tell them, just say I want to order the luxury upgraded version of Gulfstream V. Have they started to develop the G550? I want to order 10 luxury versions of G550 business jets, and I can pay a deposit of 100 million US dollars first." Cang Yaozu knew that in that life, Gulfstream only started developing the G550 in 1999, so he had to use a deposit of 100 million US dollars to induce them to start developing the research and development in advance.
"You rich, how much have you earned on the Thai baht?"
"It must be more than you. Tell them that I can pay the deposit first, but the performance and decoration of the plane must be perfect." Cang Yaozu made his request.
