Each company had some big and small things to do, and Han Chudong was busy for several days before he sorted them all out.
Brands including Rainbow Beauty and GUCCI are about to further deepen their cooperation. More than half of the profits will be reinvested in marketing activities, and the remaining money will be used for expansion and acquisitions. There is no intention of extracting profits for dividends.
Aurora Games, which is controlled by Han Chudong, began planning to put the home game console on the market as soon as possible. It arranged some employees to form a new team and started to build a production line and select a list of suppliers. Products of Intel, which is busy planning a new round of financing, will also be on the supplier list.
According to the attitude of Intel's board of directors, this round of financing can be said to be tailor-made for Han Chudong. Apart from his urgent desire for financing, other individuals and institutions showed a lack of interest. In the end, it naturally evolved into a private placement, waiting to be reviewed by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The specific plan is that Han Chudong will invest 25 million US dollars, and Intel will issue more than 17 million new shares to Mason United Group.
In this way, Han Chudong will hold about 47% of Intel's total shares through Mason United Group. This means that he will not only become a major shareholder through stock speculation, but will soon become a controlling shareholder.
Most retail investors and other investment institutions welcome this. After all, they can feel more at ease with the support of a well-known big money sponsor. The news has caused Intel's stock price to rise. Some investors were worried about the break of the capital chain beforehand, but with the huge sum of US$25 million to be injected into the company, the financial problem has been solved, at least in the short term.
Some managers who shorted Intel were so angry that they almost jumped off a building, and they even published some negative news in the newspapers.
However, Han Chudong didn't care at all. He continued to increase his holdings and raise funds, and didn't even pay too much attention to sales. His only requirement was to continue to develop more advanced products and obtain more microprocessor patents.
If he had to learn something from managing the company, it would be that there is no end to the work, and if he spent all his energy on making money, life would be too monotonous and boring...
This Saturday.
He invited his family, Zhou Nan, Kiko Mochizuki, and several company executives to visit a resort near Griffith Park.
The resort, which belongs to the Mason United Group, is called "Griffith House" and covers a total area of more than 700 acres. It has hills, streams, large green lawns, tennis courts, football fields, fishing ponds, and a small lake that is not big but can be used for boating.
The hotel side of the resort offers seasonal menus and dishes made with local game, including produce, seafood and wild boar, rabbit, etc. It also has a spa that provides visitors with a variety of rejuvenating and relaxing treatments, including an indoor swimming pool, sauna, whirlpool and fitness classes. It is more like an open country club.
As can be seen from the name of the resort, it once belonged to Davis House, the one who lied to Han Yigun that he was kidnapped and took away a huge sum of 20 million US dollars from Han Chudong.
This resort was one of the few unmortgaged assets under Davis House's name, and Han Chudong managed to acquire it with some effort. He also had a yacht over 20 meters long and three Ferraris of different models. He had so many cars that he had to rent a warehouse to store them, so he gave one to Nozomi Mochizuki and sold the remaining two to Zhou Nan and Zhao Dajun at low prices. None of them were rare models, so there was no need to pay much attention to them.
The person has not been found and the money has not been recovered. Not to mention the other assets for which they are trying to compete with the bank, including the villa on Santa Monica beach, shares of office buildings in Midtown Manhattan, New York, and two apartment buildings also near Griffith Park, getting the resort first is just some consolation.
When he arrived, Han Chudong just thought that he had spent more than 10 million US dollars to buy this place. Thinking this way made him feel much better.
He was standing at the reception desk at this time and asked the front desk: "Where is your person in charge? I am Mason Han. The name of the resort is not very good now. Change it to Mason Resort. Also, prepare some meat and seasonings. I will grill it later. Also prepare fishing rods and tennis rackets."
The female receptionist's face was all smiles. At the end of last year, the news that their boss was involved in kidnapping and extortion had already spread across the United States. Of course, these old employees knew who took over the resort.
One of the blonde receptionists said, "Our manager Frederick is in the gym. I'll go tell him that you're here. The barbecue ingredients, fishing rods, and tennis rackets will all be ready in about ten minutes."
"Thank you. Remember to reserve two tennis courts. If not, just pretend I didn't say anything. We should never chase guests away, right?" While Han Chudong was speaking, he took out his wallet and took out two fifty-dollar bills.
After handing it over, the two white female receptionists were all stunned. The shorter one didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "This is your resort, you don't need to pay."
"I'm not going to give you any money, this is a tip for you guys."
Han Chudong replied.
He doesn't usually use a wallet, nor does he need to carry one. The only use of this thing for him is to tip others after receiving service.
One dollar, five dollars or something like that is not presentable and people will think you are stingy, while one hundred dollars seems too arrogant. Fifty dollars is just right, which can surprise the ordinary waiter but not to the point where you will be taken advantage of.
What's more, they have become his employees. If he can win their hearts with a little money, it will definitely be a good deal for Han Chudong.
We would not be checking in tonight, but we still booked a few rooms to store clothes, etc. We each took our keys and went to our rooms, agreeing to meet again in half an hour and go outside for a picnic and barbecue together.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
…
Griffith Park, the largest urban park in North America, covers an area of 17 square kilometers, much larger than New York's Central Park.
The resort is not inside the park, but it is located on a higher ground and you can see the names of the five-story Hollywood landmarks. After Han Chudong met Helena Bergman two years ago, he drove her to visit the nearby area.
The same Hollywood sign, but completely different feelings. Originally I just wanted to have a place in Los Angeles, but now I am thinking that if I could buy the entire Griffith Park, which has a zoo, golf course, museum, astronomical observatory, hiking and horseback riding trails, train tours and other recreational facilities, then living there would be very comfortable and not depressing at all.
But it was just a fleeting thought. Regardless of whether the citizens of Los Angeles would agree or not, going to Canada or remote states such as Montana and Wyoming in the northern United States to buy land would provide much more beautiful scenery and be cheaper.
I went back to my room, changed into comfortable clothes, lay down for a few minutes, and then went downstairs to meet up with my friends and colleagues.
Zhao Dajun brought his girlfriend, and Arthur's assistant also brought his wife. Zhou Nan, a single man, was very dissatisfied with this and personally carried a half-grown wild boar, saying that he could eat an entire hind leg.
Han Chudong suggested that this place be used as a company team-building location in the future, as it is comfortable and affordable...
