Chapter 113: Acquisition of 3 Listed Companies

Hardy reviewed the documents with a thoughtful expression. 

"Andy, I've decided on these three companies," he said, pointing to the selected names.

Andy scrutinized the first document. 

"A toy company?" he asked, puzzled. 

"Yes, this toy company is promising. Its stock price is only $0.23, and it's located in the suburbs of Los Angeles. The company has its own factory and production line, with a total valuation of only $60,000."

"Remember, we originally had a toy factory here. We still have a batch of machines worth about $20,000 stored from that operation."

"Acquiring this toy factory would allow us to leverage these machines, market a large capital injection, and potentially increase the stock price significantly."

Andy considered this. "If we can turn around the toy factory, it could be a good opportunity."

Next, Andy reviewed the second company. "What about this health care product and drug company?"

Hardy smiled. "This company, smith Health Products, makes a product called 'fitness capsules.' The product's lack of appeal and poor marketing have led to its stock price dropping to $0.16. But there's potential."

"Do you know about Traditional Medicine (TCM)?" Hardy continued. "It's quite effective. There are several popular health products in China, like Pills for energy and Pills for skin care. We can import these ideas and products."

Andy nodded. "That sounds promising. Traditional medicine could offer a unique selling point."

Hardy added, "The U.S. market for health products is less regulated than pharmaceuticals, so it's an opportune time to enter."

Andy examined the final document. "And the magazine?"

"It's called 'West Coast Perspective,'" Hardy explained. "The magazine focuses on military, political, economic, and cultural topics, but it's struggling with low circulation and profitability."

"However, it has potential for transformation. We can revamp its content, focusing on appealing features such as entertainment, celebrity stories, and political commentary. A rebranding could revitalize it."

Andy agreed. "Let's proceed with the acquisition of these companies. We'll need detailed plans for each transformation."

Hardy returned to his office and contacted Meyer about the financial arrangement for the two movies. Meyer agreed to fund the projects temporarily, and Hardy's gratitude was evident.

In the following days, Andy worked tirelessly to collect more detailed information on the three companies. They also established a financial company to streamline the acquisition process and recruited a team to manage the transactions.

Finally, Hardy sat down with Andy to review the information.

"The toy factory is solid. We'll start with it and use our existing machinery to boost its production capabilities," Hardy said.

"For the health care product company, we'll integrate successful Chinese medicinal products and market them aggressively."

"And for the magazine, a rebranding strategy will focus on a mix of entertainment, high-profile interviews, and lifestyle content to attract readers."

Andy nodded. "I'll get started on the acquisitions and transformation plans."

Hardy felt confident. These strategic moves could bolster his company's financial standing and expand its influence across different industries.
