After deciding on the target, Xia Yu took into account the problem of jet lag and first called Peter Lynch in the United States, instructing him to fully acquire the American A& Company, American Epic Records and RCA Records within two months.
Then in the evening, Xia Yu called George Berkeley in London and asked him to take over British EMI, Kojima Records and Viking Records within two months, and at the same time fully acquire Polygram International. More than one-third of the equity in the limited company.
He just agreed that Margaret Thatcher would invest 2.5 billion pounds in the UK this year. Apart from the previous investment in the telecommunications market, there is also a large amount of money I don’t know where to spend. Some tasks are completed in this area.
After setting up the task, there is no need for Xia Yu to worry about it.
As long as all his acquisition tasks are completed before the end of August, then his Universal Music Group can truly live up to its name.
Although it seems that these record companies are only concentrated in Europe and North America, they are not as simple as they seem.
Xia Yu could not forget the island market where the Walkman first appeared. Anyway, the island country is also the second largest market in the Walkman field after the United States.
The reason why Xia Yu did not target the acquisition of record companies in the island country was actually unnecessary.
This is related to the unique record market in the island country.
The strongest Aihui Records in the island country in the past does not exist at all. Now the record market in the island country is very chaotic.
According to data, there are many factions in the island country's record market, which are divided into European and American, Hollywood, electrical manufacturing, broadcasting bureau, office, publishing, toys, game clubs, and pure record.
The European and American department and the Hollywood department are actually branches established by European and American film and record companies in island countries.
The motor manufacturing department is a record company established by companies such as Panasonic Group, JVC Electronics, Kenwood, and other electronics and electrical companies.
Broadcasting Bureau refers to the record company backed by the TV station.
The law firm actually refers to the artist management companies, which have established their own record companies.
The publishing house refers to the record company established by publishing houses such as Kadokawa Group, Otowa Group, Kodansha, and Island Communication Education Alliance.
As for the toy and game club department and the record department, it goes without saying.
Therefore, EMI Records, Polygram International Co., Ltd., Columbia Records and Epic Records, etc. are all state-owned branches in the island, and Xia Yu's Universal Music Group itself has branches in the island country.
As long as the acquisitions he planned can be completed, just the branches of these companies in the island country can add up to make Universal Music Group the number one record market in the island country.
Therefore, there is no need to specifically acquire record companies in island countries.
...
In the next few days, Xia Yu did both work and leisure, and by the way, he took Li Qian and He Chaoqiong who were on vacation to relax.
On June 6th, Liu Shihao reported to him a news that made him a little happy.
Because it was not convenient to come to Jiuding Building, Xia Yu went directly to Jiuding Real Estate Group.
After arriving at Jiuding Real Estate Group, I saw Liu Shihao and Chen Jianping waiting in the lobby.
"Hello, Chairman!"
"Well, hello!"
After nodding to Liu Shihao and Chen Jianping, Xia Yu asked directly: "Is Mr. Pei IM coming today?"
"Chairman, Mr. Bei has already arrived. In the company's design room, we did not notify him to come down together." Liu Shihao replied.
Xia Yu didn't take it off, on the contrary, he showed admiration and said, "Mr. Bei is also getting older, so it's right to not let him down."
"Let's go, take me to see the results of the design."
"Okay, please follow me! The design room is on the eighth floor."
After speaking, Liu Shihao and Chen Jianping took Xia Yu and others into the elevator.
After a while, a group of people came to a huge design room, where many people were busy.
And what attracted Xia Yu's eyes most was an architectural model in the middle of the design room. Next to the model, there was old Mr. Pei, who was observing with a magnifying glass.
Seeing Xia Yu and others walking straight, Pei stopped and walked towards Xia Yu.
"Mr. Bei, you have worked hard!"
"Mr. Xia, this is what I should do. It is also my honor to be able to do this design."
Xia Yu shook hands with Pei IM after a moment of greeting.
Xia Yu fixed his gaze on the architectural model in front of him, and asked with a smile.
"Mr. Pei, I wonder if you can tell me about your design."
"Of course, please come and take a look."
When Xia Yu and others approached, Pei pointed to the tower-shaped building on the sand table and introduced Xia Yu.
"Mr. Xia, according to the design, this skyscraper covers an area of 15,600 square meters, a total construction area of 48,000 square meters, a total height of 520 meters, and the entire shape is nine sections. Tower shape."
"The whole building is divided into four levels, the basement, the base commercial podium, the office tower and the spire."
"There are three floors in the basement, six floors in the tower base commercial podium, 108 floors in the office tower, and a five-story spire."
"Each twelfth floor of the office floor is a unit structure, and the entire office floor is divided into nine unit structures."
"Between the 102nd and 108th floors, a wind damper weighing 700 tons will be hung to use the swing to slow the sway of the building and ensure the safety of the entire building."
"You have also discovered that there are many special figures in the design. This is also the design concept of the entire building The tower base commercial podium has six floors, which means'six six great successes'. Heaven and earth mean one hundred and eight."
"The office building is divided into nine units. This has three meanings. The first one is the first word of Jiuding Group, which is also the most obvious; the second one is "combining the number of nines. Nine, the number is poor. According to the ancient Chinese yin and yang theory, nine is a number representing'yang'. The "Book of Changes" calls the yang line of the hexagram as'nine'; the third one is combined with the five layers of the spire , Which is the number of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, implying the pinnacle of the world."
"In terms of shape, the whole building is like a strong bamboo joint, which is more than flexible. The nine bamboo joints symbolize endless potential and contain the endless traditional Chinese architectural connotation."
With Pei's continuous narration, the smile on Xia Yu's face became more and more prosperous, looking at this architectural model full of love.
Last year, many subordinates suggested to him that Jiuding Group still lacks a headquarters building. Whether it is the dozens of floors of Jiuding Building or Jiuding Financial Building in Central, none of them are representative and cannot demonstrate the strength of the group. .
He also considered that Xiangjiang’s economic and social stability needed a pinnacle, and that Xiangjiang also needed to be famous all over the world. There was a symbolic feature. He also needed to cheer for Xiangjiang and even the Chinese in the world.
Combining multiple considerations, he decided to build the world's first skyscraper in Xiangjiang as his headquarters.
So last year, he invited I.M. Pei, who had just completed the design of the Louvre, to design his headquarters building, and told him some ideas that he needed a tower-shaped building.
So after nearly a year of design, there is this masterpiece in front of me.
