"Boom boom boom~~~"
Suddenly, the roar of a motorcycle was heard outside. Cheng Long was startled. The filming had not started yet, so he quickly turned around and looked outside.
All I saw was a group of foreigners riding on motorcycles, holding various weapons in their hands.
Tang Jili knew clearly that these people were not from the crew, so he immediately stepped forward and asked, "What can I do for you? We are filming."
"I heard that Jackie Cheng is here. Our boss wants to invite him for a drink." A small leader wearing a turban said after getting off the car.
"If you want to buy me a drink, sure. Let's talk after I finish filming." Upon hearing his name being called, Cheng Long walked forward and said.
"No, we have to go now..." The little leader was very determined, and the younger brothers behind him raised their guns horizontally to threaten him.
"Fuck you, you Asitai have crossed the line, do you know that?" Just when the stalemate was at its climax, Master Su, who was acting as a guard at the scene, came over with his younger brothers, cursing.
“Uh~~~” The little leader was a little shocked when he saw Master Su.
This place is indeed not the territory of their Asitai Gang, but they just cross the border occasionally. How could they happen to run into this tough guy by chance?
They had heard that this young man from Hong Kong had even caused the Italian mafia to suffer losses at his hands.
And it seems that he is also friends with Guzman from Mexico.
Asta's roots are in Mexico. If they anger Guzman, their family will be in trouble.
That guy was a ruthless killer, and the little leader felt a little panicked.
"What? Why aren't you leaving yet?" Master Su took two grenades from his younger brother, held them in his hands, raised his head, and moved forward.
"Stop, stop, stop, let's go, let's go!" The little leader immediately gave in and got on the motorcycle.
Not only him, but also the younger brothers he brought with him, as soon as they saw Master Su, they had already lowered the guns in their hands and were all a little panicked.
"Boom boom boom~~~"
"Boom boom boom~~~"
After a series of locomotive roars, all the troublemakers ran away. They came quickly and left even faster.
"Master Su, you are awesome." Cheng Long praised with a smile.
“Haha, when dealing with this kind of person, the more ruthless you are, the more afraid he will be of you. As soon as you retreat, he will know that you are not confident enough and will bully you even more.” Master Su explained with a smile.
"That's because you are confident." Tang Jili sighed as he looked at the more than 30 younger brothers behind his master Su who were armed with various types of guns.
"Agong has been here before. Now that we are at our own territory, if something goes wrong again, I will forget about being the head of the hall. Haha." Master Su said with a smile.
"Hahaha, thank you for your hard work. The scenes here will be filmed in a few days, and then we will go to Canada. There won't be any of your people there, right?" Cheng Long asked jokingly.
"Yes, of course it's Jimmy. He will protect you when you get there." Master Su said affirmatively.
"Uh~~~" Cheng Long's joke turned out to be true unexpectedly. After looking at each other with Tang Jili, both of them looked extremely surprised.
"Haha, there's also England. Grandpa has arranged everything. Don't worry, it's safe on the way." Master Su looked at the expressions of the two and continued to act cool.
Chapter 262 Blackstone Group
The next morning, in the room of the Continental Hotel.
Zhang Wen slowly opened his eyes.
"Hu~~~" His confused head had just cleared up a little, and he quickly felt his whole body.
Fortunately, everything is fine and no parts are missing.
Thinking about what happened yesterday, it was obvious that something went wrong in the space.
With a flash of thought in his mind, Zhang Wen disappeared from the room.
"Wow~~~"
The scene before him made Zhang Wen open his mouth wide.
The space became larger; this was his first reaction.
The previous space only covered the Kwai Tsing Container Terminal 8 and the hundreds of thousands of containers on the terminal.
But now, there is no end in sight.
According to Zhang Wen's estimation, the entire Kwai Tsing Container Terminal should be included.
Because what was originally a gray and hazy distance is now clearly visible.
Including the Stonecutters Bridge and Container Terminal 9 on the opposite bank.
There are also logistics warehouses and dozens of buildings.
The thought flashed through his mind again, and his figure disappeared at Pier 8, and he had already arrived at the logistics warehouse on the other side.
This was a new skill that he understood as soon as he entered the space.
11
Teleportation, but only possible within this further controlled space.
First, he came to a super large logistics warehouse owned by Lianbang Express.
Just like before, still not angry at all.
Looking at the countless shelves reaching the top of the warehouse in the space of more than 100,000 square meters, various goods of different sizes are neatly stacked.
After checking the cargo list on the computer in the warehouse office, Zhang Wen couldn't close his mouth.
Basically, they are all valuable items, and their storage locations are clearly marked.
Next, he went to the logistics warehouse of SF Express, where he found the same thing, but with a larger and more complete quantity of goods.
In other words, anything you can think of can be found in these warehouses.
After that, we visited other docks. Like Pier 8, each dock had hundreds of thousands of containers filled with various goods.
“Ah~~~~”
However, this not only did not surprise Zhang Wen, but instead he felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
After so many years, we were almost able to clear out those hundreds of thousands of containers, and now suddenly millions of containers appear.
Add to that the container landfill, and the pace is that he will never finish opening all the boxes until he dies. How will he sleep well in the future as he has an obsession with unpacking boxes?
However, there are also surprises. Within the coverage area, there are not only docks, but also some public facilities.
What interested him most was Princess Margaret Hospital.
The equipment and medicines inside are definitely more advanced than those in the current Lian'an Hospital.
Zhang Wen’s first thought was to move to the hospital first, but he had to wait until he returned to Hong Kong.
In addition, the biggest surprise of this trip was the container ships, car carriers, oil tankers, merchant ships, passenger ships, yachts and small boats of various specifications and types anchored at various docks and waterways.
The exact number is impossible to count, there are probably thousands of them.
The money saved by buying ships for my own shipping company.
Wait a few more years until the sluggish shipping industry recovers.
I guess he could become the richest man just by selling ships.
After traveling in the newly expanded area for several hours using teleportation.
Zhang Wencai left the space with a lingering feeling.
He has been missing for a day, and there is no telling how many things he is looking for out there.
After enjoying breakfast in the hotel, Zhang Wen was once again invited by Winston to the wine room.
“Mr. Zhang, let me introduce you, this is Peterson, and this is Schultz.
The Blackstone Group, which they founded, specializes in highly leveraged mergers and acquisitions on Wall Street.
A large part of their private equity funds comes from the Continental Hotel and several other peripheral organizations, including the Ghost Clearing Gang. "Winston pointed to two Wall Street elites and introduced them.
"Hello!" Zhang Wen nodded.
"Hello, Mr. Zhang!" The two of them quickly returned the greeting.
“They used to work for Lehman Brothers and helped Sony acquire Columbia Records. They were quite powerful.
They have a recent merger and acquisition case and need some funds. As you know, we don't have enough idle funds on hand, so now it's up to you." Winston said with a smile.
"Well, how much do you need?" Zhang Wen asked the two directly.
Hearing Zhang Wen's question, the two of them showed excitement on their faces. Schilz, who was slightly older than Zhang Wen, spoke first: "Our acquisition this time requires 6 million US dollars. We have already raised 1 million, and the gap is 5 million."
After listening to this, Zhang Wen took out his checkbook.
"Swish, swish, swish~~~" After writing, Zhang Wen handed over the check and said, "I'll give you 10 billion to run the business. I don't need to know the process, I just want the result, and I want to own the shares of your Blackstone company."
"Wow~~~" Schultz took the check and made an O shape with his mouth.
The same is true for Peterson.
Winston was slightly better, but he couldn't hide the shock on his face.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhang, thank you!" Schultz immediately thanked excitedly.
"Mr. Zhang, thank you for your esteem for us. However, we jumped out of Lehman Brothers because we didn't want to be controlled by others and wanted to do things freely. So these shares..." Peterson said to Winston with a frown.
“Haha, I didn’t say I wanted to control you. People who know me know that my businesses are spread all over the world. However, I seldom interfere. It’s better to leave professional matters to professionals.” Zhang Wen said with a smile.
"Mr. Zhang, I can give away 40% of the shares. Is that okay with you?" Winston knew what Peterson meant, and looking at Schultz's equally expectant eyes, he made a decision.
Although Peterson spoke tough, he was nervous when faced with a check for $10 billion.
When the Blackstone Group was first established, it quickly obtained 1 million yuan in funding from mainland hotels through the reputation and connections of its two original founders in the industry.
Encouraged by this, they were full of confidence and felt that it would not be difficult to raise the 10 billion yuan they had expected.
But what they didn't expect was that they ran into obstacles everywhere. So far, they have been rejected by 32 financial institutions and 146 financiers in total.
If the 10 billion is successfully acquired, Blackstone Group will no longer be short of funds in the short term, but the sale of shares is not up to him and Schultz.
Why he was able to get 1 million so quickly, the person behind the scenes is self-evident.
That's why he looked at Winston.
"Sure, no problem." Zhang Wen agreed happily.
"Hahaha, come on, let's have a drink." Seeing that Winston and Zhang Wen had reached an agreement, Peterson and Schultz were overjoyed.
The four of them raised their glasses to celebrate.
Chapter 263: Are the missiles for sale?
The Blackstone Group, the future king of Wall Street, is a behemoth that can operate a capital of 2000 billion US dollars at its peak.
The company's market value has also reached over 100 billion US dollars.
By around 2006, the annual profit was around 70-80 billion US dollars, which was definitely a goose that laid golden eggs.
"In addition to your merger and acquisition plan, I will give you another task. Help me acquire Hilton Hotels. Now I already have a 40% stake." After the celebration, Zhang Wen proposed the first task.
"Okay, are you ready to go private?" Peterson asked.
“Well, there is this plan.
By the way, I am very optimistic about the Chinese market, and I already have three five-star Wen Ji hotels in Kyoto, Shanghai and Shenzhen.
If Hilton's acquisition is successful, it can be incorporated into this brand.
Well, I have another one in Hong Kong.
The five-star casino hotel in Lion City is under construction and will be completed in two years.
I also have a stake in the Shilla Casino Hotel in South Korea, and it will take another year to complete.” Zhang Wen counted on his fingers.
He didn't notice the facial expressions of the three people around him at all. What was this? Was he showing off?
Winston was the most uneasy among the three. He only knew that Zhang Wen had a hotel in Hong Kong, but he didn't expect that he had three more in China, the casino hotel in Lion City, and the Shilla Casino Hotel in South Korea. He didn't even know about it.
By this calculation, how much is Zhang Wen's net worth?
However, Winston did not intend to make a detailed calculation, but he became more determined to help Zhang Wen get promoted.
"Okay, that makes it easier to talk about. After all, the Hilton family doesn't want to hand over the hotel to an outsider." Schultz said confidently.
"I have no intention of kicking them out. Barron Hilton is still very capable, so it's okay to let him continue to manage it." Zhang Wen nodded and said.
"That's good. I guess they will ask to retain a portion of the shares as well," Peterson interrupted.
