A program has attracted 36 million viewers, and several big companies have offered to help create a bigger craze for their own interests. It is impossible for this program to become popular.

The next day, not only major newspapers across the United States were reporting news related to the millionaire winner, but even dozens of countries outside the United States also reported on the front page because of the popularity of the program.

These foreign media are not only for sales, but also to obtain authorization from HL Media.

There are even TV stations in Maple Leaf Country and Mexico who want to connect their program signals directly to their own countries to attract viewers.

Of course, Big Blue is eager for the show to jump out of the United States. After all, the computer server market in Maple Leaf Country and Mexico is at least larger than that of more than a dozen countries in South America.

Besides, anyway, the audience rating of the first episode exceeded 36 million, and the advertising fee of 6 million US dollars for the first episode seemed impossible to escape.

Now that 36 million is compared with 40 million and 50 million viewers, the money to be paid has not changed, but the more people watch, the more profitable the company will be.

The more powerful the company's influence and popularity.

When the stock price of Big Blue skyrocketed by 5%, and reached the critical point that almost broke through 200 billion US dollars, let alone all the shareholders and employees of Big Blue.

Even major shareholders such as Morgan Stanley have begun to make efforts, expecting that the market value will break through the 200 billion mark that has not been reached in the past 7 or 8 years.

At the same time, because Citigroup and other companies are also shareholders of HL Media, let alone other companies, just the stock price of Citigroup on that day unexpectedly soared by 9%.

Not to mention directly breaking through the 24 billion mark, it has reached 25.6 billion US dollars all the way.

Many people still don't understand why Citigroup's rise is greater than that of Big Blue, but they saw the report in the financial newspaper the next morning.

Everyone quickly understood that compared to Big Blue, Citigroup is not only smaller, but also has a larger upside potential, making it easier to be manipulated by investment institutions and brokerages.

Coupled with the fact that the behind-the-scenes heroes of the skyrocketing market value of various companies are also at the helm of Citigroup, investors and institutions are of course more optimistic about Citigroup and Li Changheng.

Even many experts have actively persuaded Li Changheng in the newspapers to split Citigroup's stock into ten.

If the actual wealth does not decrease, the stock price is ten times lower and the number of stocks is ten times higher, which makes it easier for investors and institutions to chase after Citigroup stock.

While Li Changheng was happy, he refused without hesitation.

According to the original contract, for every 8 billion increase in Citigroup's market value, he has the right to purchase 2.5% of Citigroup's shares at the market price.

2.5% of 24 billion is 600 million, and 25.6 billion is 640 million.

Not only is it 40 million more expensive, but if it is really according to those financial experts, the shares will be divided into ten, and I will lose a lot of money.

Even if you really want to do that, you have to wait until you buy 2.5% of the shares and the stock price of Citigroup stabilizes.

At that time, the initiative will be in your own hands, and the funds and institutions in the market will not be given the opportunity to take advantage of the chaos.

And what makes Li Changheng a headache is that the 600 million cash is really not that easy to take out.

Although the money in his hand has already exceeded 1.2 billion US dollars.

Even including the 500 million US dollars with an annual interest rate of 6% received from Nasser and other princes, the cash exceeds 1.7 billion.

However, the money to buy the 2.5% shares of Citigroup when its market value exceeded 16 billion US dollars was bought from Citigroup loans.

The 400 million US dollars was lost because of helping Citigroup to invest in Columbia City Bank, and 300 million is still owed.

Including the money for buying stocks this time, if you want to be debt-free, you will need 940 million US dollars.

There is enough money, but of the 1.2 billion US dollars, 270 million is black money robbed from the villa of the Cordis family in Mexico.

Another 320 million US dollars was obtained from the scam of the Busan Gold Mine.

Even if the liar Ivan has spent nearly two years cleaning it up by buying oil paintings and antiques, if he wants to transfer back to the United States, he will first face inquiries from the tax bureau.

If the explanation is not clear, you will face the risk of huge fines and even being sued in court.

And if it can be explained clearly, then the huge tax will also make Li Changheng so painful that he wants to kill someone.

Moreover, when I bought 17% of Citigroup and 35% of Xerox in 1974, I spent US$1 billion successively.

It would be too scary if it took out another 940 million US dollars in less than three years.

After thinking about it, I can only use the profits of the Kanal Oilfield in the past few years to repay Citigroup's 300 million.

This kind of traceable profit, even if it still surprises the outside world, is still better than being targeted by the US tax bureau.

Then use the shares of Belford Investment Company to make a fuss, and at the same time exchange for 2.5% of Citigroup's shares, and at the same time take the shares of General Electric and other company shares that others are willing to exchange.

Li Changheng, who was busy buying shares in Citigroup and preparing to sell Belford Investment Company, was once again very busy.

Fortunately, that afternoon, he thought that HL Media would be re-listed and traded on NASDAQ, so he quickly fine-tuned his previous plan.

After repaying Citigroup's 300 million US dollars first, it backhandedly borrowed 640 million US dollars from Citigroup, and held a board meeting overnight to take 2.5% of the shares.

In order to prevent HL Media from going public again, the market value will skyrocket and Citigroup's share price will basically skyrocket again.

At the same time, his total shares in Citigroup also reached 22%.

As for whether Citigroup is willing to give him a loan, it is not a problem at all.

The many Citi shareholders who are reluctant are not stupid. If you think about it for a while, you will know that as long as Li Changheng is willing, not to mention that he has 470 million U.S. dollars in cash in UBS, UBS would like to put 1 billion or 2 billion in cash for him. loan.

Even banks such as Morgan Stanley and Wells Fargo will lend him money overnight.

The next day, Citigroup's stock price rose again by 3%, with a market value of more than 26.3 billion.

And because the time for HL Media to go public is getting closer, and because this company is relisting rather than going public for the first time, it is foreseeable that there will be very few people who will sell the shares of the media group that day.

Many institutions and shareholders who have no confidence in buying shares~lightnovelpub.net~ directly focus on the stocks of major shareholders of media groups such as Citigroup, Morgan Stanley, and Wells Fargo.

And Citigroup is the most popular one in the market.

For two consecutive days, it rose again by 4.6% and 3.7%, and the market value suddenly reached 28.5 billion.

While Li Changheng was glad that he didn't hesitate, he began to worry. It was only 3 days since he won 2.5% of the shares, and the market value of Citigroup had increased by 4.5 billion.

If the market value of HL Media skyrocketed from 11.2 billion, wouldn't Citigroup break through 32 billion US dollars soon?

2.5% of 32 billion is 800 million US dollars. After Li Changheng easily calculated it, he immediately cursed in his heart.

Just got a loan of 640 million, and is facing a gap of 800 million. This is really both happy and worrying.

At the same time, Li Changheng and many Citigroup shareholders began to worry that someone was speculating in Citigroup stock for profit.
