Chapter 1262 Investment

"Sister Yuanyuan, when are you going to have a baby?" the girl asked with a smile.

"Well, next year, I don't have time this year, so I will be busy with wine this year." Gao Yuanyuan said with a smile.

"By the way, sister, how is the expansion of Senbei Restaurant going?" the girl asked Liu Qian.

"Everything is going well. Eight branches have been opened in China, and business is good. By the end of this year, the expansion plan should be completed as planned." Liu Qian said with a smile.

"Is the current situation of Xianbei Entertainment stable?" Li Ba asked Gao Yuanyuan.

"It fluctuates around 60, and the institutional funds inside have been really tricked by you. In the past six months, many institutions have liquidated their positions and exited."

Gao Yuanyuan shook his head and smiled.

Yatou said: "Senbei Cinema has completed many cinema chain acquisition plans. Together with its self-built cinema chains, it currently owns 18% of the domestic cinemas. There are still some self-built cinema chains under construction. If all of them are completed, , based on the size of cinemas at the end of last year, it could account for 23% of the country’s total.”

Gao Yuanyuan shook his head and said: "The domestic cinemas are growing very fast. By the end of this year, when all are completed, Senbei will definitely not reach 20% of the share. However, this scale is enough to make Senbei Entertainment the leader in the domestic film and television industry. ”

The girl asked: "Then this is a good thing, why should institutional funds be liquidated?"

Gao Yuanyuan explained: “The funds of these institutions require costs. They see no hope in Senbei Entertainment. No matter how good the prospects are, it is of no use to them. They can only liquidate their positions and exit.

Moreover, theaters are a long-term investment that cannot be profitable in the short term, so they are not very attractive to them. They entered Senbei Entertainment just to speculate, raise the stock price, make a profit and then leave. "

"Yuanyuan, does Allen Leone leave the Suns?" Li Ba asked.

"You haven't talked to him?" Gao Yuanyuan asked.

"I was afraid that he had concerns, so I didn't talk about it. Anyway, if he wants to leave, I support it. But you have to negotiate a maximum salary for him, otherwise there is no need to leave the Suns." Li Ba said with a smile.

"My offer to David Griffin is US$90 million over five years. Is this considered a maximum salary?" Gao Yuanyuan said with a smile.

"Forget it, David didn't agree?" Li Ba didn't sign the new contract as soon as he saw Gao Yuanyuan's appearance.

"He said he wanted to consider it. I guess there is no chance. He will definitely sign you first and ensure your salary space first, and then he will consider the United Arab Emirates. What I am considering is, which team will let the United Arab Emirates leave? , I need your advice on this. Dayao wants Ah Lian to come over, what do you think?" Gao Yuanyuan said.

"Let them come over and talk." Li Ba said and took out his mobile phone and was about to call Dayao when a call came in first and it was from Kobe.

"Hello, Kobe, when will you arrive?"

"Hammer, I'll be in Napa Valley in two hours." Kobe smiled.

"Have you brought a lawyer?" Li Ba asked.

"Of course." Kobe smiled.

Not long after, Duncan and Garnett arrived at Senbei Castle first.

This was their first time here. Li Ba and Yatou expressed their welcome and introduced Gao Yuanyuan to them.

"Tim, how is your lawsuit going? Can you win?" Li Ba asked with a smile.

"Of course I can win, I'm the victim." Duncan asked with a dark face.

"It's very common for victims to lose the lawsuit, haha, okay, no kidding..."

After teasing, Li Ba asked seriously: "Do you want help? Can I hire some big lawyers for you?"

"No, my lawyer said it's no problem. The lawsuit will be easy to fight." Duncan shook his head and smiled.

"What about you, Kevin?" Li Ba looked at Garnett.

"I am the same as Kevin. There is no problem with the lawsuit. We have sufficient evidence." Garnett smiled.

"Okay, now you go talk to Gao." Li Ba said.

Next, Gao Yuanyuan had a chat with the two, and after confirming their willingness to invest, he agreed to their investment.

Duncan handed over 20 million US dollars to Gao Yuanyuan. He didn't have much money left, and that was all he had left after being tricked by an investment consultant.

Garnett is about the same, with $5 million more than Duncan.

Gao Yuanyuan is about to integrate the wineries in Napa Valley and needs financial participation. Although the two have not much funds, no matter how small a mosquito is, they are still meat. Besides, they still have a certain influence in the United States.

Gao Yuanyuan took out the investment contract that had been prepared long ago and asked Duncan and Garnett to sign it, officially becoming their investment consultants.

"She is preparing to acquire some wineries in Napa Valley. We have an investment meeting here today, and you are just in time. Do you know the wine sales of Senbei Trading in China? If you don't know, go find out. We account for half of the wine exported from the United States to China. In short, you are lucky, and you have caught up with it. This is a fast way to make a lot of money." Li Ba said with a smile.

Duncan and Garnett looked at each other and laughed.

Li Ba said at this time: "Tim, your contract has expired and you haven't renewed it with the Lakers?"

"We are talking about it, and I should stay with the Lakers." Duncan said with a smile.

Li Ba chuckled and said, "That's hard to say. You may be traded even after you sign the contract."

Duncan's eyes narrowed and he immediately asked: "Are you going to the Lakers?"

Garnett was also stunned. If Li Ba went to the Lakers, it would be meaningless for him to go to the Suns.

Li Ba shook his head and said: "It is possible that Warcraft will go to the Lakers."

The two were startled and nodded at the same time.

Indeed, if Howard goes to the Lakers, it is possible that Duncan will become a bargaining chip, and it is impossible for the Lakers to trade Kobe.

"But Pau Gasol is also a possibility." Garnett said.

Li Ba and Duncan nodded. In addition to Kobe, the Lakers may trade anyone for Howard.

Next, Li Ba took the two to visit the castle. When they were about to go outside to visit the winery, Kobe's family, Yao Ming's family, and even A-Lian arrived.

"Let's go to the backyard. The scenery there is nice." The girl greeted Ye Li, Vanessa and others.

"Auntie Crystal, where is Guoguo?" GIGI asked.

"Guoguo is playing tennis in the backyard. You can go to play with her." The girl smiled.

"Oh, I want to play basketball with Guoguo." GIGI smiled.

"That's fine." The girl smiled.

Next, Liu Yifei took Ye Li, Vanessa, GIGI, Yao's father and mother to the backyard, and Li Ba and Kobe chatted in the living room.

"Iron Hammer, Gao, is today's investment meeting about the wine industry?" Kobe smiled.

"Otherwise, why did I ask you to come here? Do you want to participate in this plan?" Li Ba asked.

"Of course, I only have a small winery now, and I want to buy a big one." Kobe said.

"No, the plan this time is to join forces and acquire wineries together. You just need to sign an investment agreement like Tim and Kevin did. And your sales depend on us anyway. Without us, your wine will have no market at all." Li Ba suggested.
