Chapter 541 Big news!
New Zealand, the capital Wellington.
A spokesperson for the Wellington Department of Commerce directly announced a major news under the witness of a number of media reporters.
"Dear media friends, just at 3 pm this afternoon, Mr. Juke Wald, a well-known American rich man and chairman of Kingshuguang Entertainment Group, officially reached a series of cooperation agreements with the New Zealand government, planning to invest 500 million US dollars, and will invest in the construction of water plants in Christchurch and Hawke Bay areas to provide the highest quality bottled drinking water for New Zealand, America, and all countries and regions around the world!"
$500 million!
This total investment, looking at the Great Celestial Empire and the United States, can also cause a wave of shock, let alone New Zealand, which is vast and sparsely populated?
Suddenly, the media reporters at the scene were in full bloom!
"Really or not?"
A young female reporter could not help but cover her small mouth with her right hand, unable to hide her shock.
The photographer beside her blurted out in shock: "The amount of a single investment is as high as US$500 million, which is really a big deal! If I remember correctly, this is the largest overseas investment in New Zealand in recent years, right?!"
Many people were shocked!
As a result, the media reporters at the scene became even more popular and began to ask questions one after another.
At the same time.
The 20th Century Fox, Paramount, John Dur and others who received the news were not so wonderful at this moment.
My heart feels cold.
Lachland Murdoch was shocked: "The reason why my family's News Corp has a superlative influence in Australia and New Zealand is no wonder that we have a series of investments in these two places, but what about now?"
"That guy Juke Wald, who invested $500 million in New Zealand, became a guest of honor for the New Zealand government, and his influence took off directly."
Professor Philip from Victoria University in Wellington is optimistic about the acquisition of Vita Digital by 20th Century Fox?
One: The price offered by 20th Century Fox itself is not low;
Second: 20th Century Fox can bring more special effects orders to Vita Digital;
Third: That is political influence.
After all, given the influence of the Murdoch family in New Zealand, New Zealand officials are happy to see Vita Digital working with 20th Century Fox.
In May 2001, the New Zealand government announced a plan to support local high-tech industries, tax reductions, talent introduction, and financial subsidies...
A series of solutions such as this have great appeal to major high-tech companies.
Peter Jackson, Richard Taylor and others of Vita Digital also value this very much.
However......
Zhuke started out as a king!
Half a month ago, Zucker did not have much influence in New Zealand, but he directly announced an investment of US$500 million and signed a series of contracts, it was completely different!
New Zealand's official butt was made crooked again.
However, this time they fell to Zhuke's side.
.........
Paramount Team.
Jordan looked at the TV screen and said in amazement: "Zuke, my old friend, I've calculated it very much, but I still underestimated you!"
Yes, he never expected that Zhuke would have such a big deal!
$500 million!
Although there are many rich people around the world, not everyone can invest $500 million in New Zealand. After all, investors are more inclined to invest in Oceania than New Zealand.
......
Wall Street—John Dull team.
At this moment, John Duer, known as the "Four Heavenly Kings of Venture Capital", had no previous self-confidence, but rather had a stinging look.
"I miscalculated, completely miscalculated."
"I knew from the beginning that Vita Digital was very concerned about the support policy for the high-tech industry issued by the Zelan government in early May, but I didn't think much about it."
"I didn't expect that Juke Wald would seize this and invest $500 million directly!"
"Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk ~ The young people today are really amazing!"
John Duer's tone kept changing.
At first it was full of anger, then it turned into regret, and finally it was full of endless sighs.
Mosido Killian, the team think tank, sighed: "We all underestimated Juke Wald. In fact, we should have thought of it before, after all, he had sniped us before."
Suddenly, John Dull couldn't help but twitch his face.
“…”
In the eyes of global media and investors, the reason why John Duer is called the "Four Heavenly Kings of the Limelight" is because of his successful investments again and again.
In Silicon Valley, Duer is the "godfather" behind technology companies such as sun, Google, Amazon, Netscape, Symantec, Compaq, Twitter.
Among the companies he invested in, 167 were successfully listed.
Of course, the most talked about investment is investing in Google!
He invested in Google and spent $12.5 million. After Google went public, the total return was about $5.2 billion, more than 400 times that of the original one.
This return profit rate is simply breaking through the sky, a god-like return profit rate.
But!
At the moment, he has not been able to successfully invest in Google!
Because Zucker took action!
Google needed more funds to invest in promotion. When it was operating, Zucker directly lent a large amount of funds to Google at low interest rates through the form of three-party lending of Standard Bank of California, directly sniping John Duer's idea of investing in Google.
Well, that is to say, Google now has no relationship with him John Dull!
John Duer touched his chin with a dim expression and whispered: "Mosido, tell me, have I offended Zhuke before, otherwise, why would he always go against me?"
The team think tank Mosido Kirian said seriously: "Boss, in the Vita Digital acquisition project, we are latecomers in strict terms!"
John Duer: "..."
......
The next day.
Zucker held a press conference in New Zealand and officially announced a series of investment plans. As the official New Zealand spokesperson said the day before, the total investment amount was as high as US$500 million.
Christchurch, also known as the "Garden Capital", is the third largest city in New Zealand after Auckland and the capital Wellington.
The city is filled with a strong British atmosphere, and it is the most British-colored city outside the UK. It has a strong artistic and cultural atmosphere and complete facilities. Opera, concert and ballet performances are constantly being performed, including wonderful performances by famous musicians and dancers.
But... the water quality in this area is also one of the best in the world!
After 2003, major bottled drinking water giants around the world have been eyeing New Zealand's natural water environment and have invested in and built factories in New Zealand.
Well, there is Nongfu Spring among them.
The water in Christchurch, New Zealand is even more like a king in the water quality of New Zealand.
"$500 million?"
"Haha, is that much?"
"After 2010, the cost of just getting the Christchurch water withdrawal rights will not be less than $1 billion. Now I have achieved everything for $500 million, including a series of equipment procurement costs. It's a huge profit!"
Zhuke is a true capitalist.
The $500 million investment is not just to gain official recognition from the New Zealand government.
In the first place, we can increase the bargaining chips for acquiring Vita Digital;
Secondly, bottled drinking water itself is very profitable.
Haven't you seen that on the e-commerce platform of the Great Heaven in 2020, a bottle of one bottle of one. Pure, 500 ml of natural mineral water imported from New Zealand, is priced at 38 yuan, and the average price per liter is 38 yuan. It even exceeds the retail price per liter of No. 92 gasoline on the same day.
Never underestimate the value of "water"!
In 2020, who is the richest man in the Great Heavenly Dynasty?
Is it a horse or a pony?
no!
Nongfu Spring is on the market!
Its founder, Mr. Liu, became the richest man in the Great Heavenly Kingdom. Well, although he was surpassed by others in just half an hour, it also proved that bottled water has great potential!
At the end of the press conference, Zucker announced: "King Shuguang Entertainment Group officially announced that it will start the acquisition of Vita Digital, with the first offer of US$70 million!"
Chapter completed!
