We are all reborn, who wants to be the richest man?

Chapter 134 Development of each company

In the early morning, when Luo Nianzhong got up at his home in Beverly, there was still a smile on his lips.

Looking at the gift that Eisner sent last night in his arms, Luo Nianzhong said that the happiness in the entertainment industry is very beautiful.

As expected of someone who works in Hollywood, he really responded to all requests, allowing Luo Nianzhong to experience a different style, and even a little bit released the devil gene hidden deep in his heart.

When Luo Nianzhong came to the restaurant, Robert and others were already waiting for him.

"Boss, I think you need to hurry up. We will arrive in Dallas before noon."

Seeing Luo Nianzhong's unhurried look, Robert urged him.

"Don't worry, there will be no problem. Have you all had breakfast? Do you want to eat something together?"

Luo Nianzhong, who was in a good mood, ignored them after asking. He slowly picked up the knife and fork and tasted his breakfast.

Robert had obviously eaten, sitting on a chair and reading the newspaper, but just because he had eaten didn't mean that others had done the same.

Seeing Luo Nianzhong like this, Jason unceremoniously picked up the bread and bacon in front of Luo Nianzhong, and asked the servant for a glass of milk.

None of the three of them spoke. It wasn't until Luo Nianzhong finished eating and wiped his mouth with a napkin that Robert spoke.

"Boss, the other party should have something up their sleeve this time, but I just don't know what they are after."

"Ha ha". Luo Nianzhong laughed when he heard Robert's worry.

"I'm still afraid that they don't want anything. Only if I have what they want can I get the more benefits I need, right?"

Robert nodded and agreed with Luo Nianzhong's statement. This is why Luo Nianzhong's entire team is willing to contact the other party.

There is endless money to be made. The most important thing is how many companies you can control, or how many industries you can influence. This is also the foundation of a century-old family.

At the Los Angeles Airport, when Luo Nianzhong and his party came over, his Boeing 747, the same model as the President of the United States, was ready.

Looking at the new flight attendant group chosen by Chris, Luo Nianzhong didn't know what to say.

His former stewardess was so glamorous and beautiful. Not expecting anything to happen, just looking at it makes me happy.

But for some reason, Guan Jiahui suddenly said that she would replace Luo Nianzhong with a group of stewardesses, and replaced the group's private jet stewardesses.

When Luo Nian was enforcing a family law, he realized that it was Chris's idea, and he couldn't help complaining about Chris's meddling in other people's business.

Today's flight attendants are not ugly, but you should know the feeling when you are used to eating abalone and suddenly it turns into abalone juice.

This made Luo Nianzhong's idea that there was still time for an aerial battle, but he didn't take any action, and his opponent was gone.

I thanked the flight attendant who brought me the coffee and turned a blind eye to the flirtatious look she sent me. I leaned on the bedside and read the year-end reports of each company in my hand.

It’s a new year, and last year’s annual reports for each of the group’s subsidiaries are coming out one after another.

What Luo Nianzhong didn't expect was that the rapid development of Watsons gave him a big surprise.

Each of its products, whether cosmetics, food or maternal and infant products, basically dominates the entire Southeast Asian market.

Even in many countries in Europe and the United States, its share is growing rapidly, and the sales of many products are among the best, becoming a veritable retail overlord.

In addition, two months ago, Watson Group spent HK$230 million to acquire the largest beer brand in Southeast Asia, the Hong Kong brand of San Miguel Beer under San Miguel Group.

After completing the acquisition, Watsons became the largest shareholder of Hong Kong Island San Miguel Beer, accounting for 53.7% of the shares.

San Miguel Beer was first created by the Spaniards in the Philippines. It has won many international awards and has operations throughout Southeast Asia.

The Philippines, Hong Kong, Macao, and Temasek are his main markets, with market shares exceeding 80%.

It is also the top two beer brand in terms of sales in other countries and can be said to be one of the largest beer giants in Asia.

Strictly speaking, what Watsons acquired was not the entire brand, but the San Miguel beer brand developed on Hong Kong Island by several breweries in Hong Kong and Haojiang.

The San Miguel Beer of Hong Kong Island and the San Miguel Group can be said to have the same origin, but later the San Miguel Beer of Hong Kong Island became independent. Although it still belongs to the San Miguel Group, it has no interest relationship with San Miguel Beer. It uses a Chinese logo. Now the San Miguel Beer on Hong Kong Island and Haojiang is supplied by the San Miguel Beer Company on Hong Kong Island.

This is a listed company on Hong Kong Island. The land in Sham Tseng, Tsuen Wan, where he was located, was later developed into the Pitti Peninsula, a high-end private residence, which allowed San Miguel Beer on Hong Kong Island to earn billions of Hong Kong dollars in profits at that time.
Many Hong Kong stars such as Lai Yaoxiang and Wu Zhuoyi live here.

In addition to the addition of beer business, among all Watsons' businesses, Mead Johnson is developing the fastest.

Mead Johnson was originally a world-renowned infant milk powder brand. Now it is increasing its R&D funds to develop and invest in pure milk and yogurt brands.

At the end of last year, Mead Johnson established a milk source base in New Zealand. Because the purchase price is slightly higher than other local dairy companies, it has established cooperative relationships with dozens of cooperatives.

Especially the rabbit market. After Watsons entered the rabbit market, Mead Johnson became the largest foreign dairy brand for rabbits.

In four special economic zones including Pengcheng, Mead Johnson's infant milk powder has even become Watson's most resold product.

A large number of dealers buy goods in the special zone and then sell them to big cities such as Shanghai and the capital at a higher price, which has allowed some people to complete the initial accumulation of capital.

The expansion of the Mead Johnson production plant established in Pengcheng has begun before the first phase of the project is completed.

The new factory is three times larger than originally planned, which shows how popular sales are.

Li Xiang, the president of Watsons, even approached Luo Nianzhong, hoping that the group would approve funds or make a large loan to increase Watsons' investment in Rabbit.

He found that the market for rabbits was absolutely immeasurable. It was still only in a few special zone cities. If the entire market was opened, it would be unimaginable.

Luo Nianzhong's answer to him was that he agreed with the suggestion of increasing Rabbit's investment, but in terms of funds, he suggested borrowing money from Rabbit's bank. Luo Nianzhong was giving performance to Rabbit Bank.

In addition to Watsons, Asia Media's profits are also very impressive. Since Luo Nianzhong began to implement the large-scale entertainment export plan last year, Asia Media's profits last year were more than double those of the previous year.

Relying on some TV series and variety show ideas that Luo Nianzhong would give from time to time, these works not only became popular, but also sold a lot of copyrights.

For example, if developed countries such as Europe and the United States come to buy copyrights, there is no need to say that they will just wait to be slaughtered.

Countries with weak cultural industries, such as Southeast Asia, basically sell half of their products and give them half for free, in order to seize the market and weaken their domestic production capabilities.

When their TV stations found that the production was more expensive than the one purchased and no one watched it, these TV stations became real customers of Asian media.

Especially ATV, the number of users has exceeded 50 million. You must know that this is an era when many families do not have TV, and it has truly become a veritable Asian satellite TV.

The biggest contribution of Asia Media to such performance growth last year was advertising.

Today's Hong Kong celebrities are so powerful in Asia, and there is no comparison between the Korean Wave and the current Hong Kong Wave.

Especially Jackie Chan and Leslie Cheung, who basically dominate the island nation and are the top two favorite stars in South Korea.

Not only the audience went crazy, but many local stars also followed them.

How could Luo Nianzhong let go of such an opportunity? They were bombarded with endorsements from various brands under the group. Now in Hong Kong, no one would object to saying that Jackie Chan is the most profitable star in the entertainment industry.

A lot of celebrities like this are packaged by Asia Media. Although Asia Media takes the majority of the income, the artist's income has also increased significantly, so he is not disgusted with it. Instead, he hopes that he can become the next star to be packaged.

And the number of viewers ATV drives through these stars also makes its advertising expenses rise at a higher level every year, which can be said to be complementary to each other.

In addition to these two companies with outstanding performance, the performance of other companies has also increased significantly, but it is not as exaggerated as these two companies.

Of course, there are profits and losses, such as Far East Port Management Company and YDD Luxury Group.

These two companies also have a lot of turnover, but they cannot tolerate large-scale acquisitions and investments.

For example, YDD has acquired several high-end perfume and customized brands.

Not to mention the Far East Port Company, which cooperated with Temasek Holdings before Pengcheng's port project started, increased investment and construction of Temasek Port, and lost nearly 10 billion Hong Kong dollars in one year.

However, Luo Nianzhong also knows that this is all temporary. As long as he survives the early construction, he will become a hen that can lay eggs.
