My capital is quite large.

Chapter 254 Advance Team

This purge, orchestrated covertly by the Nanjing judicial and tax systems, was swift and decisive. Although it was a small-scale operation, its lingering effects quickly reached the ears of the other female owners in the Aoxuan Mansion.

Yang Mi, who owns a duplex apartment on the first floor of Hong Kong, and Zhang Xinyu, who temporarily relinquished her position as chief secretary, are both cunning foxes who have honed their skills in the world of pleasure and the center of power.

When they saw the bland "contract termination statement" and then read Zhai Tianlin's absurd PC announcement the next day, they knew exactly what was going on.

"It was Liu Yifei who did it."

In the entire Haofeng Film and Television, besides the woman who was pregnant with the eldest son, there was no one else who could instigate Han Shangzhe to terminate the contract overnight and use such bloodless means to physically exonerate someone.

However, none of them made a fuss, nor did they do anything foolish enough to go and gossip about Li Feng.

Xin Zhilei was just a nobody who had never even touched the corner of the boss's bed; the boss probably didn't even have such a name in his mind.

Going to annoy the boss at this time is just asking for trouble.

But the aftermath of this incident was like a Damocles' sword hanging over their heads, intimidating all the female artists in the Haofeng Group who had not yet gained favor.

Especially for Song Tie.

In this vast empire, even if you never have the chance to climb into the emperor's bed, as long as you still bear Haofeng's seal, you must remain chaste like the most virtuous saintess!

If you dare to have even the slightest private thoughts or cross the line... what awaits you is an abyss of no return!

Having learned from past mistakes, those popular actresses who have already been cast are now behaving extremely well on set.

After experiencing this turmoil, Liu Yifei also deeply realized the importance of being prepared for unforeseen circumstances.

To prevent similar accidents from happening again, and to ensure the loyalty of the backup option.

This weekend, she gave an instruction to Zhao Liying and Mao Xiaotong, who were far away in Nanjing, over the phone:

"Let's bring Song Tie along when we go to Zijinshan Manor for team building this weekend."

Inside the spacious apartment, Zhao Liying and Mao Xiaotong naturally dared not be negligent.

On a dimly lit weekend night, under the guidance of two experienced men, Song Tie finally received her baptism.

Throughout that revelry, Zhao Liying's eyes were always secretly watching.

It wasn't until the next morning, when she saw blood on the messy sheets, that Zhao Liying finally breathed a sigh of relief and took out her phone to send the good news to Hong Kong.

Only when the red lock was closed did the rope truly become a tight knot around Song Tie's neck.

……

As for Li Feng himself, he didn't put in even the slightest effort from beginning to end.

Women and children were his pastimes in his spare time, but his true vision had long been set on a much larger global capital landscape.

Recently, he has been holding a cross-border acquisition proposal submitted by the group's investment and M&A department—about how to pull off a stunning "David and Goliath" deal in the East Asian market!

Li Feng was very clear about the general trend of the times.

There are only two years left before that blond-haired leader takes office and launches a brutal technological sanction campaign.

In the brutal mainstream of great power confrontation, capital may have no borders, but capitalists do have nationalities!

Li Feng, a businessman from Dongda University, holds 17.5% of Nvidia's shares. If the two sides clash, these shares could be frozen and confiscated by the US on the grounds of national security in a matter of minutes!

"I must sell all my Nvidia shares and cash out by the end of 16!" Li Feng silently set a deadline for himself.

Where do they put the hundreds of billions of dollars in cash they cashed out?

Investing in Europe and America? That's like handing your life to their guns.

Go to South Korea? The so-called "Big Three" in South Korea—CJ, SK, and Samsung—are deeply intertwined with local conglomerates and political forces, making them impossible for foreign capital to acquire. Large companies on the Korean Peninsula, like SK Hynix, which involve core, sensitive memory technologies, are also out of the question.

Therefore, he finally set his sights on Japan!

At this time, Japan was in the midst of its lost two decades, and its assets were valued at bargain-basement levels.

Take Sony, for example! This future electronics and entertainment giant currently has a market capitalization of only a paltry $180 billion in the US and Japanese stock markets!

And Toei too!

These are all high-quality assets that can create a huge synergy with Haofeng's current pan-entertainment ecosystem!

"Capital has a nationality, but Japan is too close to the University of Tokyo!" Li Feng's eyes flashed with a cold, wary glint.

He didn't believe that when the day of the complete blockade came, the Japanese government, which was separated from him by the sea and whose economy was extremely dependent on the Tokyo market, would dare to confiscate Li Feng's property!

Although the major premise of the acquisition had already been finalized in the investment department's plan: a clean overseas holding subsidiary must first be established in Tokyo.

But even before the full-scale confrontation has begun, Li Feng's current position as the head of Huaxin Technology is too sensitive.

For safety's sake, he would never personally go abroad to take risks.

This crucial mission could only be led by Zhao Zhe, the director of the investment department.

......

Before Zhao Zhe led the acquisition advance team off, the investment department, after more than a week of working through the night, finally delivered a thick and detailed "Final Plan and Budget Details for the Divestment and Acquisition of Toei Animation Japan" to Li Feng's desk on Monday morning.

"Mr. Li, Toei Animation's current market value on JASDAQ is approximately 650 billion yen."

Zhao Zhe stood in front of the table, pointing to the projected data and explaining, "Due to the continued depreciation of the yen, the current exchange rate of the US dollar to the yen has fallen below 1:103. In other words, converted to US dollars, Toei Animation's overall valuation is less than 6.3 million US dollars!"

"To divest Toei Animation and gain absolute control, it's simply too late to build a position on the secondary market. Our optimal approach is to privately contact the parent company, Toei Co., Ltd., and jointly conduct a large-scale equity transaction with Bandai Namco and TV Asahi. Subsequently, we will launch a premium tender offer to acquire TOB, pushing our shareholding ratio above the 51% absolute control threshold in one step."

After analyzing the situation, Zhao Zhe gave his final quote:

"Based on a 35% premium, the total cost of our acquisition is estimated to be between US$4.5 million and US$4.8 million. That's roughly RMB 28 billion to RMB 30 billion."

"The technical and legal teams have assessed that this funding must be secured within three months."

Within three months, nearly $500 million in net cash flow was mobilized.

For traditional film and television giants with high debt who are hoping to raise money through an IPO, this is practically a bottomless pit that could drive their CFOs to their deaths.

But for Li Feng now, this money doesn't even require using the reserve funds in the group's corporate account.

As the current mainstay of Haofeng Games, LOL's explosive growth after the start of spring has exceeded everyone's expectations.

With the S3 World Championship still fresh in everyone's minds, the number of online players in China and around the world has skyrocketed, and a large number of players are spending money like crazy to buy skins and limited-edition items.

Based on the first quarter of this year alone, League of Legends' global net profit after tax has already exceeded $3.5 million.

The net profit from a single quarter's surplus was enough to support such a transnational takeover that shook the entire Asian animation industry.
