Remember [New] for a second,! A show has attracted 36 million viewers, and several big companies have taken the initiative to help set off a bigger upsurge for their own interests. It is impossible for this show to become popular.

The next day, not only the major newspapers in the United States were reporting news about the millionaire winners, but dozens of countries outside the United States also followed the news on the front pages because of the popularity of the program.

These foreign media are not only for sales, but also to get authorization from hl media.

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

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

Besides, the audience rating of the first episode exceeded 36 million anyway, and the $6 million advertising fee for the first episode seems to be impossible to escape.

Since the 36 million viewers are compared with 40 million and 50 million viewers, the amount to be paid has not changed, but the more viewers, the more the company takes advantage.

The more powerful the company's influence and visibility.

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

Even major shareholders such as Morgan Stanley have begun to exert their efforts, expecting that the market value can break 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, other companies aside, just Citigroup's stock price on that day unexpectedly soared by 9%.

Not to mention the direct breakthrough of the 24 billion mark, it has also reached 25.6 billion US dollars all the way.

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

Everyone quickly understood that compared with Big Blue, Citi is not only smaller, but also has more room for growth, making it easier for investment institutions and brokerages to operate.

In addition, the behind-the-scenes hero behind the skyrocketing market value of various companies is also the helm of Citi, so investors and institutions are of course more optimistic about Citi and Li Changheng.

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

Under the condition that the actual wealth does not decrease, the stock price is ten times lower and the stock price is ten times higher, which makes it easier to attract investors and institutions to buy Citi stock.

While Li Changheng was happy, he refused without hesitation.

According to the original contract, for every 8 billion increase in Citi's market value, he has the right to buy 2.5% of Citi'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 more expensive than 40 million, but if you really follow the words of those financial experts, the shares will be divided into ten, and you will have to 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 share price of Citi stabilizes.

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

And what gave Li Changheng a headache was that 600 million in cash was really not that easy to come by.

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

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

But the money for buying 2.5% of Citigroup's shares when the market value exceeded $16 billion was bought from Citigroup loans.

The 400 million was reduced by $100 million for helping Citi take a stake in Columbia City Bank, and still owed 300 million.

In addition to the money to buy stocks this time, if you want to be debt-free, you will have to pay 940 million US dollars.

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

Another $320 million was obtained from the Busan Gold Mine scam.

Even if the liar, Ai Wen, used the purchase of oil paintings, antiques, etc., it took nearly two years to clean up, but if he wants to be transferred back to the United States, he will first face inquiries from the tax bureau.

If the explanation is unclear, you will face the risk of huge fines and even going to court.

And if it can be explained clearly, then the huge tax will also make Li Changheng want to kill.

And when he bought 17% of Citigroup and 35% of Xerox in 1974, he spent $1 billion before and after.

If this is less than 3 years, it will be too scary to come out with 940 million US dollars again.

After thinking about it, I can only use the profits from the Kanal Oilfield in the past few years to return Citi's 300 million.

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

Let’s make a fuss about the shares of Belford Investment Company, and exchange for 2.5% of Citigroup’s shares, and then take the shares of General Electric and other company shares that others are willing to exchange.

Li Changheng, who was busy eating Citi shares and was about to sell Belford Investment Company, was very busy again for a while.

Fortunately, in the afternoon, he thought that hl Media was about to re-list and re-list on Nasdaq, and he was busy fine-tuning the previous plan.

After repaying Citigroup's 300 million US dollars, the backhand loaned 640 million yuan from Citigroup, and held a board of directors overnight to eat 2.5% of the shares.

Lest hl media go public again, the market value will skyrocket and Citi's stock price will skyrocket again.

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

Whether Citi is willing to lend him a loan is not a problem at all.

The many unwilling Citi shareholders are not stupid. Just think about it and know that as long as Li Changheng is willing, not to mention that he has US$470 million in cash in UBS, UBS would be tempted to give him 1 billion or 2 billion in cash. loan.

Even banks such as Morgan Stanley and Wells Fargo would lend him overnight loans.

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

And because the time of hl Media's listing is getting closer and closer~lightnovelpub.net~ and because this company is re-listing, not the first listing, it is foreseeable that the people who will sell the shares of the media group on the same day should be very few.

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

And Citi is the most popular 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 did not hesitate, he also began to worry. It was only 3 days after he took 2.5% of the shares, and Citi's market value rose by 4.5 billion.

If the market value of hl Media has skyrocketed from 11.2 billion, Citigroup will not break through 32 billion US dollars soon, right?

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

It has just taken out a loan of 640 million yuan, and is facing a shortfall of 800 million yuan. This is really both happy and worrying.

At the same time, Li Changheng and many Citi shareholders began to worry that someone was frying Citi's stock for profit.
