(Citibank helped acquire the newspaper and changed it to Chase Bank, full name: Chase Manhattan Bank)
Just after Li Zetian talked about the factory, the person from Chase Bank told him that the "Hong Kong Daily" had been successfully acquired, and the purchase price was 5 million Hong Kong dollars.
"Hong Kong Daily" is a newspaper that is not very famous, so the price is not expensive.
After Li Zetian hung up the phone, he immediately informed Li Chengzhi of the news.
"Dad, we have successfully acquired the "Hong Kong Daily". When are you going to go to the newspaper office?"
Li Chengzhi thought for a while and replied, "Tomorrow!"
"Well, okay. That afternoon, I will ask Chase Bank to bring the relevant documents and transfer the "Hong Kong Daily" to your name."
"Um."
Afterwards, Li Zetian came to the room again and called Chase Bank.
An hour later, a middle-aged man in a suit, glasses, and a handbag drove to No. 22 Barker Road, followed by a young female secretary.
Jingle Bell!
At this time, the doorbell rang.
"It should be someone from Chase Bank."
Li Zetian said, and then asked the servant to open the door.
After a while, the middle-aged man and the old female secretary came to the hall.
"Hello, two, I'm Polly Lane, executive director of Chase Bank Asia!"
The middle-aged man extended his hand very enthusiastically and shook hands with Li Zetian and Li Chengzhi respectively.
Li Zetian showed a smile and said, "Just send the bank manager to come, why bother Mr. Glass Lane to come in person? I'm so sorry!"
Glass Lane waved his hand and said with a smile, "Hehe, it's nothing. In fact, apart from transferring the equity of Hong Kong Daily to Mr. Li Chengzhi, I have another matter to discuss with Mr. Li."
Li Zetian nodded, roughly guessing what he was talking about.
The Rockefeller consortium is a typical example of bank capital controlling industrial capital. It has a huge financial network, with Chase Manhattan Bank as the core, under which there are more than 100 financial institutions such as New York Chemical Bank, Metropolitan Life Insurance Company and Equity Life Insurance Company. Through these financial institutions, it directly or indirectly controls many industrial and mining enterprises, and occupies an important position in various economic sectors such as metallurgy, chemistry, rubber, automobiles, food, air transportation, telecommunications, and the arms industry. The arms companies under its control are: McDonnell Douglas, Martin Marietta (jointly controlled with the Mellon consortium), Sperry Rand and Westinghouse Electric (with Mellon) joint control of the consortium), etc. The Rockefeller consortium also individually or jointly with other consortiums controls five of the largest U.S. airlines, including United Airlines, Pan Am, American Airlines, TWA and Eastern Airlines.
Polly Lane's inquiry is likely to be related to Apple's financing. He should have heard the wind recently and learned that Apple has a new product that will be launched, and its factory has a production capacity of tens of millions. If Apple is not full of confidence in this product, it would definitely not be so bold!
Li Zetian smiled and said, "We'll talk about another matter later. Let's finish the equity transfer of the newspaper first!"
"Okay," Polly Lane nodded with a smile, showing no rush.
He immediately took out a stack of thick documents from the briefcase, and began to introduce what these documents were, and then asked Li Zetian and Li Chengzhi to sign the equity transfer agreement.
After the equity transfer agreement was signed, Li Zetian asked his father to keep the agreement, and he and Polly Lane went to the balcony to discuss things, and ordered the maid to bring three glasses of juice. One for myself, one for Polly Lane and his secretary.
Polly Lane took a sip of juice and took the initiative to ask, "Mr. li, do you know when Apple will raise financing? Mr. Thomas Rockefeller is in a hurry, so I specifically asked me to ask you."
Li Zetian smiled and replied, "It's February now, and there will be a round of financing in May!"
Polly Lane couldn't help but think in his heart. There are still three months left in May. It seems that Apple wants to wait for the release of new products before choosing to raise funds.
Polly Lane asked casually: "I heard that Apple has established a new factory in Hong Kong, and the production capacity is huge. It seems that Apple is very confident in this product!"
"Not very confident, but very confident!"
Li Zetian said with a smile, "I dare to say that this product will be popular all over the world and make more money than Apple-ll personal computers!"
After speaking, Li Zetian's eyes must be fixed on Polly Lane, seeing that you are still pretending to be calm.
Polly Lane's face still showed no waves, but his heart was as if a bomb had been dropped on the calm lake. His breathing accelerated and his hands trembled slightly unconsciously. However, none of these escaped Li Zetian's discernment!
"Mr. Li, can you show me what kind of product has won such high praise?"
At this time, the Walkman has been developed, the patent has been applied for, and it is preparing for mass production. There is no need for Li Zetian to continue to hide it, especially for future partners.
"Wait a minute, I'll go get something."
"it is good… "
Watching Li Zetian leave, Polly Lane was excited and nervous.
His female secretary said: "Mr. Lane, Mr. Li obviously wants to raise financing after the new product is released. If Apple's new product is really what he said, then we must re-evaluate Apple, and most importantly The best thing is to get financing before the new product is released!"
Polly Lane nodded and said, "Yes, I think so too. I don't know what Apple's new products are, so that Mr. Li swears so much..."
"Mr. Lane, you saw it right away. But I don't think there's anything more amazing than the Apple-ll personal computer!"
Polly Lane nodded: "Yes, the Apple-ll personal computer is already a masterpiece!"
While they were talking, Li Zetian took a Walkman tape and walked out, and he was listening to the song with headphones.
Polly Lane and the female secretary were very surprised when they saw this scene.
"Mr. Li, such a thing can listen to music?" Polly Lane asked in surprise.
"Of course, why else would I wear headphones?"
Li Zetian laughed, then took off his headphones and put the Walkman on the table.
The two of them kept their eyes on the Walkman, as if they were admiring a piece of art.
The Walkn designed by Li Zetian has been improved and looks more beautiful and simple.
"Mr. Li, can I try it out?"
"sure!"
Later, Li Zetian taught him how to use the Walkman.
When he pressed the play button, a beautiful melody came to his ears, and Polly Lane couldn't help shaking his body, sitting up straight, and lost his voice: "How is this done...? Such a small thing, it emits The sound is not much worse than the sound of a gramophone? Mr. Li, how did you do it?!" Polly Lane asked again excitedly.
Li Zetian smiled and pretended to say, "Nothing, technology changes everything! Apple has the world's most advanced technology and unimaginable creativity, so naturally it can make such a product!"
Polly Lane took off the earphones, lowered his head, and remained silent. He was already deeply shocked. There was a voice in his heart telling him that this product would definitely be popular all over the world! ! !
After a while, when he raised his head to look at Li Zetian, he was seeing Li Zetian looking at him with a half-smile, and Polly Lane felt tight...
Alas, Mr. Thomas Rockefeller, we want to advance financing, I am afraid it is not so easy!
