Lehman Brothers.

    It is also a financial company, located on Wall Street, known as one of the top five investment banks on Wall Street.

    Since its establishment for more than 150 years, it has been pounding the financial markets of various countries and regions with a huge amount of funds to make huge profits. In June 2002, two major financial journals, business week and international finance review, rated Lehman Brothers as the "best investment bank of 2002" and ranked first in the list of institutional investors.

    At the same time, it also has deep contacts in various fields such as science and technology, Internet, medicine, real estate, energy, mineral and so on.

    But is it just about that?

    Of course not!

    The comprehensive investment department under the name of Lehman brothers also owns some shares of Disney Park and Universal Studios, though it does not occupy a large share, but it also makes a considerable return every year.

    That''s not true~

    They are now... Focusing on the Harry Potter theme park under construction.

    At the moment, there are only two people in the huge CEO''s office: Richard Ford, the CEO, and Ryan Smith, the investment manager of Lehman, who is in charge of the 110 member investment team.

    "Remember what I said!"

    "I don''t look at the process, I just want the result!"

    "Investing in Disney Park and Universal Studios has brought us a tremendous amount of return in the short 8 years, and it has accumulated not less than 340 million dollars. We have made two times more money. Now you have to involve me in Harry Porter theme park."

    "Don''t forget, the leader of Harry Potter theme park is Jack Wald, who is known as the" young fox. "

    CEO Richard Ford said in a low voice.

    Ryan Smith

    you ''re right!

    Zhuke has another new title, which is praised by Wall Street people as "young fox"!

    Since Zuker founded the gale capital, he has successively gained numerous incidents in the Asian financial crisis, the Japanese Empire, the British Barclays Bank, the Internet bubble, Enron and WorldCom.

    Financial Superman?

    Hehe, this title has been overthrown by Hollywood people, and Zhuke is called "young fox"!

    This is definitely a title that I agree with.

    Ryan Smith, the investment manager, looked embarrassed and said, "boss, you know, that guy, Jack Wald, is a very difficult person to deal with, and he has a good relationship with wall Dylan of Goldman Sachs investment bank. It''s very difficult for us to take advantage of the Harry Potter theme park project. After all, he is a young fox!"

    "Hum!"

    CEO Richard Ford immediately snorted, "of course I know he''s a young fox. Don''t remind me, but don''t forget who I am!"

    Zhuke is known as a young fox;

    Richard Ford, the CEO of Lehman Brothers, was called the most fierce bulldog on Wall Street!

    "Yes, boss!"

    Ryan Smith, the investment manager, was a real inspiration.

    In 1969, Ford joined Lehman Brothers as a small assistant to traders, commonly known as intern and temporary worker;

    In 1993, he took over from American Express, separated Lehman Brothers and listed it in 1994.

    It is worth mentioning that the "risk-taking" gene of Lehman Brothers is also deeply embedded in Ford, who often said: "to cooperate with me, we must have blood."

    It turns out that he is indeed a crazy and very successful adventurer.

    Since 1993, he separated Lehman Brothers from the express company. In less than 10 years, Richard Ford has developed Lehman Brothers into a large investment bank comparable to Merrill Lynch and Goldman Sachs. Compared with 1993, its market value has increased 20 times!

    .......

    The next day.

    In the afternoon.

    Rayne Smith, the investment manager of Lehman Brothers, arrived in Los Angeles overnight on the order of CEO Ford.

    He''s going to have an interview with Zucker in person.

    "Oh?"

    "You said that the current CEO of Lehman Brothers is Ford, well, the guy who is known as" the most vicious bulldog on Wall Street "

    "I know him!"

    Zucker looked at Ryan with a smile.

    "Mr. ward, as a gentleman and a super rich man, you should call him Mr. Ford, not that guy," said Ryan in a poor tone

    The Lord insulted his minister to death.

    What''s more, his company, Lehman Brothers, is one of the top five investment banks on Wall Street, rather than an ordinary person. As one of the top executives of Lehman, he is not afraid of the power of Zucker.

    "Ha ha ha ~"

    Zucker waved his hand and said with a smile, "well, I apologize."

    Well, not to mention how perfunctory this moment is.

    Of course, Zucker knows the guy Ford, and he knows that he is good at taking the edge of the sword, and his bones are full of adventure genes.

    Know more about the collapse of Lehman Brothers in the subprime mortgage crisis in 2008!

    In that crisis, in just four days, Lehman lost more than 90% of its market value and had $610 billion in debt.

    As a passer-by, Zucker knows this very well.

    "Mr. ward, my intention is very clear. Our company, Lehman Brothers, has expressed strong interest in your company''s Harry Potter theme park. We are willing to participate in it."

    Said Ryan.

    Jack clapped: "Welcome

    As long as it''s not in Hollywood, Zucker will not refuse.

    "But..."

    After a pause, Ryan said solemnly: "Los Angeles, Sydney, Shanghai, Tokyo and London are five Harry Potter theme parks. Will they be a little less and occupy a small area?"

    He means Harry Potter in Los Angeles!

    It covers an area of 12 hectares.

    Far less than Disney''s hundreds of hectares of park area.

    Even the smallest Hong Kong Disneyland covers more than 120 hectares. As for Disneyland in Japan, Disneyland in France, and the future China Disneyland, it covers an area of hundreds of hectares, no less than 250 hectares.

    "12 hectares, I think it''s not small." Said Zucker firmly.

    In the original space-time, the Harry Potter park built in Florida by Disney and universal only covers an area of 8 hectares.

    Ryan: "it''s..."

    He was speechless.

    Before he came here, he knew that Zucker was very difficult.

    But now it seems that the degree of difficulty of Zhuke is much more severe than he imagined.

    Why doesn''t Zhuke make a big move for a Harry Potter park with an area of several hundred hectares against Disneyland?

    There are three reasons!

    1. No money.

    2. The influence of Harry Potter''s books and films has not reached the peak yet. There is no need to build a large theme park of hundreds of hectares.

    3. It is convenient for the future operation of Zhuke.

    The third point is the most important, which is also the precondition for Zhuke to handle others.

    First of all, we need to make one point clear, that is, all places such as parks and theme parks can''t be built completely, or the expansion can''t stop.

    For example, Tokyo Disneyland in Japan has been expanded several times since its opening in the 1980s, covering an area of more than one.

    At the same time, as long as Zhuke holds the copyright of "Harry Potter", Zhuke will still have the biggest say in the future expansion of Harry Potter theme park.

    How cunning!

    "Hum!"

    "Don''t take me for a fool, Mr. Wald," ran snorted! What doesn''t need too much floor space, you just don''t want to pay, and want to control the right to speak of Harry Potter paradise

    He just said it!

    I can''t help it. Who let Zhuke cheat too much?!

    "How is it? You don''t have to get involved! " Zhuke said with a smile.

    "You

    Ryan was furious.

    He really underestimated Zhuke''s shamelessness. He never thought that Zhuke would admit it directly.

    .......

    Ten days later.

    Harry Potter theme park foreign investment, successfully reached.

    1.5 billion US dollars of the first cost in the early stage, which was successfully achieved.

    Zhuke did not pay a cent, but enjoyed 21% of the income of the project.

    The second watch is on.
