Chapter 625 Chinese Federation

President Reagan's inauguration went well.

At the dinner that followed, Wang Yuanchao simply clinked glasses of wine as he had said yesterday.

Wang Danfeng looked at the rough-looking ghost girl (Patricia) next to Wang Yuanchao, feeling bitter, but she had to use her lifelong acting skills to chat and laugh.

My son-in-law is being taken advantage of by another woman, this is really...

Fortunately, my daughter didn’t see it, otherwise she would be sad.

Wang Yuanchao's foundation wants to acquire NBC, the National Broadcasting Company, one of the three largest commercial radio and television companies in the United States (the other two are CBS and ABC).

NBC is headquartered in Rockefeller Center, New York, and is symbolized by a peacock. Founded in 1926, it is the oldest and most powerful commercial broadcasting company in the United States. It has direct TV stations in seven cities, including New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Washington, Cleveland, Denver, and Miami, and about 7 affiliated TV stations across the country.

NBC's parent company is RCA (Radio Corporation of America). Historically, in 85, which is this year, RCA would be acquired by General Electric.

RCA not only owns the TV station NBC, but also a record company, and also produces televisions, cathode ray tubes, VCRs, audio and communication products.

Wang Yuanchao had been keeping an eye on him for a long time.

He is involved in movies, television, and newspapers in Hong Kong, so how could he not copy the same tactics in the United States?
The film companies include MGM and Orange. Under his guidance, MGM has become the leader in Hollywood. He will never miss a good movie.

After the music company Muse Music changed its CEO, it conquered new territories, became inclusive, and expanded across Europe and the United States.

He snatched away Murdoch's development path in the United States by acquiring a string of newspapers, magazines, and even the entire Condé Nast Group. He is still constantly expanding his territory and spreading his tentacles.

Now, it’s finally television’s turn.

This time, Wang Yuanchao did not take RCA's assets alone, but instead brought in Los Angeles Communications, Muse Music and the Foundation to join forces.

It's not just because of its scale, which is larger than those mentioned above. The current price of this deal is estimated to be 60 billion US dollars; it is mainly because of the influence, the influence of this TV station, this kind of mouthpiece, is not something that he, a Chinese, can control alone.

If we don't talk about influence, Wang Yuanchao can take it even if he insists. It's just a matter of borrowing some money.

But we can't ignore politics, right? Given the current situation in the United States, he still has to be careful in his planning.

The radio products can be acquired by Los Angeles Communications, the record company will naturally be acquired by Muse Music, and the TV station will naturally be accepted by the foundation.

The entire transaction will be acquired by the foundation and then split up.

The Foundation has been following for a long time, and today's inauguration of President Reagan announced the elimination of other competitors. This deal can only be led by the Foundation.

The other competitor was General Electric, a giant industrial company controlled by the Morgan consortium.

But the Adventurer Foundation is a fund under the California Consortium, the Texas Consortium, and the First Citigroup Consortium.

No matter how high the Morgan Consortium ranks, it will not offend the three major financial groups and the currently popular President Reagan.

The president who received 95% of the votes, the president who emerged unscathed from an assassination attempt, the man of destiny, the spokesperson for God!
Of course, in addition to the foundation, other people can also participate and become small shareholders, but no one can shake the foundation's dominance.

Given Wang Yuanchao’s past impressive record, there is no difference between letting the foundation take the lead and letting him take the lead personally, as long as he can keep making money with the foundation.

He will soon conquer Japan, and there was Black Friday in 87, a series of economic crises, the Middle East crisis, and the subsequent great development of computers, the information superhighway, the Internet, BT currency, and semiconductors. Even if he is left with nothing now, he can still restart his glory.

No one has trouble with money.

His voice in the foundation will only grow louder.

Wang Danfeng looked at her son-in-law surrounded by countless foreigners from afar, feeling mixed emotions.

The stage in Hong Kong is too small. Wang Yuanchao no longer cares about the New Year's Eve party stage that many people dream of. His stage is in Washington, the center of power in the world.

Liu Heqing's female classmate is Xia Liyuan, an elegant lady in an evening gown, who is accompanying the old couple. She said:

“We Chinese are proud of this, aren’t we?”

Just now, Wang Yuanchao came to toast Liu Heqing and his wife. Xia Liyuan saw it all. She thought that Earl Wang had many businesses in Hong Kong, and his old classmate and his wife were also celebrities in Hong Kong. It was normal for the two sides to have a friendship, and she didn't think about anything else at all.

Liu Heqing nodded and agreed:

"Yes, if there weren't so many foreigners present, I would have thought it was an illusion."

The female classmate laughed and said:
"My husband also respected me very much because of Earl Wang's relationship. I also worked as a Chinese teacher for Ronan and Davis for a while."

Suddenly remembering something, the female classmate explained:
"Ronan and Davis are the two grandsons of the President and the two sons of Earl Wang."

Liu Heqing smiled and responded:
"It is a great honor for Chinese people to marry the daughter of the president of the world's most powerful country."

The female classmates also laughed and gossiped:
"Who says it's not?

However, it seems that they have divorced a long time ago.

Patty used to be a pop singer. Singers, you know, are more open, which may not meet the requirements of our Chinese for family and partners. "If we don't talk about the gossip of some big shots, we can't show that she is doing well in America now. [At least better than in history]

Wang Danfeng smiled and said nothing.

Still open, who has an open son-in-law?

"Come on, I'll introduce you to other Chinese people. I don't care about old classmates, but I think many people know my sister-in-law. From "New Fisherman's Song" to "Green Grass by the River" which is known as the "mainland version of Soul Broken Bridge", my sister-in-law is very famous among us Chinese!"

The old classmate and his wife are unfamiliar with the place, so they have to rely on Xia Liyuan to take care of things.

"Hey, President Xia!" A Chinese person saw Xia Liyuan and greeted her enthusiastically.

Xia Liyuan explained to Liu Heqing in a low voice:
"As the vice president of the Chinese American Federation, Earl Wang organized this to help Chinese people in the United States work together."

These words were said lightly, but the tone was full of pride, which showed that he had a special relationship with Earl Wang.

Liu Heqing thought, another woman who is complacent about working for my son-in-law.

After saying this, he enthusiastically led Liu Heqing and his wife forward and said:
"President Lin, let me introduce two guests to you.

This is my old classmate, President of the Hong Kong Newspaper Association and Chairman of the Hong Kong Phoenix Daily, Mr. Liu Heqing.

This is his wife, Ms. Wang Danfeng, President of the Hong Kong Film Association, Chairman of the Hong Kong Academy Awards Jury, and Vice Chairman of Starlight Pictures, the largest film company in Hong Kong.

Second, this President Lin is the president of the San Francisco branch of the Chinese American Federation, and the president of our largest branch. "

The two sides exchanged greetings, and as expected, after shaking hands, President Lin said:
"Ms. Wang, I am a fan of your movies! Your Green Grass by the River impressed me the most."

Wang Danfeng was extremely happy. Although that was a work produced decades ago, how could she not be happy that people recognized her?
Liu Heqing was also happy. His wife was happy, which was better than anything else.

After chatting with President Lin for a while, they took the opportunity to introduce a Chinese person who was very popular.

"Chairman Wang, let me introduce two guests to you!"

Xia Liyuan repeated her introduction of Liu Heqing and his wife, and then introduced Wang An. "Chairman Wang is the founder of Wang An Computer. He is a famous scientist, inventor and entrepreneur. He is known as the 'Computer King' and is one of the richest men in America. Haha."

Wang An smiled and said:

"President Xia, I don't deserve your words. I am a top tycoon, and Earl Wang is an extremely rich man! Nice to meet you, both of you!"

After a brief exchange of greetings, Xia Liyuan covered her mouth and smiled:

"Earl Wang is a top dignitary!"

Wang An was stunned for a moment, then he laughed and said:

"Yeah."

Isn't it? Wang An was not very interested in politics, but the Chinese United Association was persistent in getting him to join the association, saying that many hands make light work, and a pair of chopsticks cannot break a flame.

Thinking about Earl Wang behind the Federation, the president and the consortium behind Earl Wang, Wang An had no choice but to join the Federation, pay high membership fees, and actively participate in various cocktail parties hosted by the Federation.

However, this association is useful. Whether it is financing or connections, it is much better than what he can do alone.

[Around 86, Wang An was among the top ten richest people in the United States with a net worth of 20 billion US dollars. He was ranked 500th among the 146 largest companies listed by the American magazine "Fortune" and employed 3.15 employees around the world. It was impossible for Wang Yuanchao not to include such a person in his sphere of influence]

Xia Liyuan took her old classmates and their spouses to wander around the cocktail party. From time to time, foreigners would stop to exchange a few polite words with Xia Liyuan, and then they would find an opportunity to take photos with President Reagan and his wife.

Today, the presidential couple are just tools for taking photos. With so many guests on the scene, they are taking photos like an assembly line.

After taking the photo, the Reagans smiled and said thank you. There were so many guests that they didn't even remember and were just being polite.

The couple took a group photo with their old classmates and their spouses. Xia Liyuan said:

"It's a rare trip for you to come to the United States. Would you like me to recommend some fun places for you?"

Liu Heqing looked at his wife and said:

“No need.

Since you are busy, we have arranged everything before we come.

New York, Philadelphia, Boston, these places we should take a good trip to.

Then I will fly to Los Angeles and San Francisco on the west coast, and finally visit an old friend in Vancouver, Canada. ”

Who is Vancouver’s old friend? It’s the mainland’s “movie queen” Ms. Hu Die.

Xia Liyuan smiled and said:
"Okay, it's best if you make the arrangements."
