Chapter 656 Consortium's Games

The Spring Festival in 1998 is on January 28th. Therefore, the playboy, who hasn't had a long Spring Festival, specially gave him a long holiday. From Christmas to February 1, he did not arrange any work for almost 40 days, not even a business performance or advertisement.

Because he had to go back for the Spring Festival, he naturally didn't catch up. The playboy didn't sail back to Hong Kong Island from Bordeaux in France until January 8. In the past few days, he and Sophie Marceau ran a lot of big wineries happily, and specially went to Roman Conti's winery and set a future like an upstart. After 50 years of wine appointment, the boss of the winery was stunned for a long time. It was not that he didn't want to. The playboy's status was noble enough now, but that no one had ever booked it for so long - whether it was for the winery or for the playboy, it seemed to be too long.

At the beginning of January, Hollywood's big names have not yet gone to Hollywood, but they still stay on Hong Kong Island because of the Spring Festival is coming soon. They are very busy. The playboy did not mean to call everyone, but more than a dozen good ones. They went on the yacht newly bought by Li Jiaxin with them and went to the sea for a walk.

In addition to Chen Zichen's absence, Li Jiaxin, Wang Zuxian, including Li Yan and Lian Junying are here. January is the coldest time on Hong Kong Island. Although there is not much wind on the sea, it is still very cold to sit on the deck. Everyone just looked at the yacht up and down. Brother Qiang shrank his neck and looked at the playboy sitting in his arms. Li Jiaxin smiled and sighed, "Good boy, it's like a palace on the sea. This really sets off your current identity."

Don't blame him for sighing. Seven years ago, the playboy had a white face. Seven years later, even if he was a Hong Kong island tycoon like the Chen family, there was nothing to be proud of in front of him. The old man said that don't bully the young and the poor. What's more, the playboy has now become popular and has long been out of the small circle of Hong Kong Island. He became a big shot in the American upper class.

That's exactly what Brother Qiang strives to pursue, but in the past few years, he has made more money with Playboy. But his identity has not changed much.

The playboy smiled and drew a note on Li Jiaxin's buttocks, "Our family is full of this kind of prodigal girl. When she told me to buy it last year, I didn't think she was so willing to spend money. I didn't dare to get on the boat now. I'm afraid that people would say that I was generous..."

Wrapped in yellow-brown fox coats and a white mink hat, Wang Zuxian, who looked delicate and charming, curled his lips, "That's not what you're used to. She didn't make much money last year, and her money was like running water. If you talk about her, she still talks back..."

Li Jiaxin pouted dissatisfiedly, "I just think that as a husband, I have to buy the best if I want to buy it. Our money is not stolen or stolen. What are we doing with dignity and stingy?"

This boat is really luxurious. It is 160 meters long. It not only has a swimming pool, but also a helicopter lift platform, and it is extremely luxurious inside. However, good things are naturally not cheap. The cost of this yacht is more than 2.5 billion Hong Kong dollars, which is almost 300 million US dollars. At that time, I don't know who dug this. The data suddenly shook the Hong Kong Island, which is really envious and jealous. I don't know how many people there are.

Not to mention on Hong Kong Island, this thing is also unique in the world. It's really a luxury. The playboy was shocked when he heard it at that time. However, since he bought it all, he was really not afraid of what others would say. As Li Jiaxin just said, no stealing, no robbery, openly, who do you love? !

Chen Jin patted Li Jiaxin's little fart again and comforted him dotingly, "It's okay. Just work hard to make more next year. As long as we can make money, they don't care about it." Li Jiaxin was immediately happy. With so many people, if Chen Jin scolded her, she would be in a bad mood.

Li Yan joked at this time, "You have to say that this ship is still a little small. Look at the King, that's called a ship..." Brother Fa laughed and gave her a thumbs up. "It's still the young lady who is proud, but the King is not big in the cruise ship. For example, the Titanic, that's the identity of this boy. It can be set off."

Andy Lau curled his lips and joked, "What's wrong with you? Are you less jealous?" Today, at sea, Zhu Liqian also followed her. Brother Fa took a look at her, "Aqian, Brother Fa reminds you that your man has too much heart. If you have a chance, just dump him, even if you follow him. Growing flowery radishes is also better than with this guy.

Andy Lau hugged Zhu Liqian, who was a little shy, into her arms. "Drug, no matter how to dump, I rely on her," Sister Fang curled her lips when she heard this. "So careful, why didn't I see you marry her into the door? Are you waiting to consume other people's youth, so that you can find someone else?"

"My God, sister, why are you targeting me!" Andy Lau looked aggrieved and had been a playboy. "I made an appointment with the young master. As soon as he got married, I immediately followed him."

Zhang Xueyou smiled softly, "What are you comparing with the young master? He is ten years younger than you. You are almost forty years old, and he is still a handsome young man of twenty-year-old..." Andy Lau looked shy and cute, "I don't look as good as the young master, although he is a little more handsome than me."

If you talk too much about this topic, it will make Sister Fang angry. The men are very smart. Zhou Xingchi laughed and suddenly said, "I have also saved some money in the past two years. Looking at Miss Yan buying land and buying a house, I thought about whether to let her give me some advice and make a little money..."

I took a look at the playboy, "But in a blink of an eye, Miss Yan started playing with oil and cars. I was dumbfounded at that time. It's almost enough for me to buy a few Lamborghinis."

Brother Qiang laughed and looked at Chen Jin, "Young master, if you really don't take action, you can make a big deal. In other words, even the richest man Li is not so rich," Jackie Chan curled his lips and said, "Li's richest man, he just has some land, and how promising can he have in Hong Kong Island now?"

These people are very angry, but it's all for playingboys. The playboy smiled, "If you have money, you have to spend it. There are many prodigal girls in our family, but everyone has the ability to make money..."

Li Jiaxin put her arms around his neck with a smile, "That is, look at Sister Yan's spending money. My 300 million dollars is compared with her tens of billions of dollars. It's nothing. Thanks to Sister Xian, she is also rich now, but she is getting more and more stingy."

Wang Zuxian stretched out his hand to pinch her, laughing and scolding, "You use this money to enjoy, and A Yan is used to develop her husband's career." Li Jiaxin giggled and twisted her body in Chen Jin's arms, but refused to leave his arms for a while. At first, like Wang Zuxian, she was also very jealous that Li Yan suddenly got such a big money tree. Think about it, the young lady was envious and jealous, and who could not be a little tasteful.

But she is not arrogant after all. In addition, the business of the jewelry company is getting better and better, and the playboy spoils her. She is still a little girl's mind, and she soon forgets. If she wants anything now, no matter how much money she has, isn't it just to deposit it in the bank? The key is that she is now with the playboy and is very happy.

Wang Zuxian's mind is more complicated. However, Playboy's latest design of KING series underwear has also made her find a balance. Just like a young grandmother, there are so many people, and I'm a little bit. Now the annual sales are driven by the super popular women's underwear, and there are also 5 or 6 billion US dollars. It has become the best-performing company in the fashion industry, although it is not the largest and most famous.

My brother never forgets about cosmetics. "Your boy also uses that kind of condensation pills for a man, and you are really well-developed," Brother Fa curled his lips. "You say you are so handsome, why do you still think about that thing," he looked at Chen Jin again, "his money now is enough for him to spend ten lifetimes. I can't spend it all. The problem is that he earns so much every year. Now I'm dizzy when I think about it.

Chen Jin shook his head with a smile, "We are poor families. Looking at this, we have made so much money, but when the money goes out, the water is gone without a word. There are only two more companies. Compared with those big families, it is still much worse."

He doesn't mind talking about his ambition - that is, to set up a big family, which can't be hidden. People who really understand, looking at his step by step, naturally know what his real mind is.

Chen Zichen, who was naturalized in the United States in mid-September, bought Philip Oil Company for 9 billion US dollars in November. In December, before Christmas, he bought Amco Oil Company again for 206 billion US dollars. At the same time, he made an offer to Connor and Oil Company with a market value of 28 billion US dollars. The premium of the company is about 30%, and the quotation is 35 billion US dollars. As for the offer of 3 billion US dollars to BMW to acquire Land Rover (Land Rover was originally owned by Rover, Rover was acquired by BMW, and now it belongs to BMW until it is sold to Ford two years later), it is like a pediatrician.

Everything is dazzling. Jinchen Group is like crazy, spending money crazily. It seems that Jinchen Group doesn't have that much money, but if you think of the super cash cow of KINGS Cosmetics, you may be much calmer, but KINGS Cosmetics itself is not idle. In November, its newly established investment company snatched Belgian Fina Oil from the French Total Group at a price of 10 billion US dollars, and then immediately made an acquisition offer to French Elf Petroleum, with an offer of as high as 35 billion US dollars. Of course, This does not include the 2 billion US dollars to win the Lamborghini Automobile Company.

It must be said that these completed acquisitions, whether they are Jinchen Group or KINGS Investment Company, are not all in cash, and even said that almost half of them are loans from multiple companies, including Bank of America, Citibank and Barclays Bank. Seven banks, including Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs Group, Bank of Scotland and BNP Paribas.

Rich people are naturally easy to borrow money, and cash can make money in their own hands, both Chen Jin and Chen Zichen know this.

Of course, because the acquisition is a complex transaction process, involving too many stakeholders and interests, in a word, the interests are equal, the interest rate of bank loans is as high as nine percent, which is obviously slaughtering fat sheep, and it does not include transaction consulting services of up to 300 million US dollars. As for those in the dark. Yi's detailed rules are even more taboo.

Playboy is very cooperative, looking like a lot of money and stupid, but this is also a process of gaining recognition, which is basically similar to the previous cooperation with the five major film studios, but it is more complicated and more involved.

Let's talk about Amocco. If Philip Oil Company is not too conspicuous, Amocco is one of the seven golden flowers in the oil industry. The owner behind it is Rockefeller and other related conglomerates. This kind of energy enterprise can't be bought if it is not recognized.

However, this recognition is still limited. When Playboy continued to make acquisitions to Connor and Elf, it was obvious that the process slowed down. Calculated that there were already three oil companies under Chen Jin's name - Philip Oil Company, Amoko Oil Company and Fina Oil Company, although none of them Big, but the combination is not small. Moreover, although Amoko even sold it to Playboy with Roddick's promise, although Playboy is still very rich and willing to pay, if Connor and Elf are sold to Playboy, the strength will be very terrible.

It is a very simple proposition. The world is the game field of conglomerates, energy, the most important of which is oil. Although the oil trust was dissolved in 1912, it still exists in the dark, and the big family chaebols of the whole European and the United States have united to control all this.

Playboy wants to join, yes, Roddick's attitude has explained some problems, and the company he bought also shows, but it is not so easy to win more benefits and become a big shot in it. Perhaps, at least, he needs a process, a longer and slower process.

Playboy is not in a hurry. Now he can say that he has fully integrated into the whole American society. He has stayed here longer than on Hong Kong Island, and he basically stays in that country.

He is not afraid of failure. He and Chen Zichen often say that they are not fools, not incompetent guys. Even if they fail, they can start again. Everything in front of them has been given to him by God. He wants to do what he wants to do slowly. Perhaps, the feelings of his family and country are not good. Since he came In this situation, he had to let himself, and then the whole family really become a force that could not be ignored in the world.

"This is a big era of gatherings," the warm afternoon sun shone on his body. The playboy sighed and squinted at the sky. "It's much more enjoyable to be able to participate in it than to play a movie. Perhaps it's the most wonderful movie in itself."

Brother Fa glanced at him and said with a smile, "No way, do you really want to quit the entertainment industry? My Oscar winner is still with you. You have to solve this problem for me."

"You still have the face to say!" Chen Jin laughed and scolded, "I wrote such a good book for you. There were basically no competitors last year. You actually lost to the Australian guy Jeffrey Rush. You said you were ashamed."

Brother Fa was really super hot before the 69th Academy Awards Ceremony. There were no art films this year. "The Rest of Life on a Desert Island" was absolutely great from the theme to shooting. Brother Fa's performance was also very NICE, but in the end, he still lost coldly. This time, his brother laughed, and then Brother Fa chased him. After ten streets, the depression can be imagined.
