- Among the eight major film giants in the United States, Disney is a rising star.
On the one hand, they have their own Disney Film Company, and on the other hand, they have also acquired many independent film companies, such as the most famous Miramax.
With the efforts of many talented people, Disney is now developing very well. It has produced many movies in succession and established itself as a giant in the new generation of film industry.
Compared with other film giants, Disney has a big advantage, that is, in addition to film companies, they also have one of the most famous animation production companies in the industry, Pixar Animation Company. This animation company has brought them a lot of The profits also contributed greatly to their entry into 3D animation.
With Pixar¡¯s production capabilities, many of Disney¡¯s classic animated films can be released in 3D format, which is another secret to their longevity.
What's more, Disney's Disneyland is also a big brand. Like Universal Studios, it has a positive interaction with the company's main business and can continuously cultivate more children to like Disney from an early age.
It can be said that in the animated film industry, the value of the Disney brand is equivalent to Coca-Cola's position in the beverage industry, surpassing Hollywood.
Of course, there are no Big Eight in Hollywood now.
United Artists Pictures was merged with MGM in the 1980s.
Now, MGM has merged with Columbia, and next year MGM will be thrown out by Sony again and go bankrupt and reorganized.
After 2010, 20th Century Fox and Universal Pictures will be the real influencers in Hollywood. Paramount, Columbia and Disney will also be inferior.
Xiao Qi wants to buy Disney, naturally not for its film company, but for Disneyland and such a treasure with a huge cartoon library.
But Disney is not that easy to buy.
As one of the symbols of the United States, the shares of the listed company Disney are very scattered. In his previous life, Gang Leader Qiao owned 7.7% of Disney shares and was already the largest private shareholder.
This life. Xiao Qi has transferred 5% of each of his two wives' shares in Disney to Dake Fund, so Xiao Qi is now the largest shareholder of Disney in the true sense.
Under Qiao Bangzhu, the second place is held by Vanguard Group, the second largest fund management company in the United States, with a shareholding of 5.12%, the third place is State Street Global Fund Management Company with 3.83%, and the fourth place has been merged by Blackstone Group. Black Rock Group¡¯s 3.5%, and Fidelity Investments¡¯ fifth place is 3.07%. The sixth place is also 2.5% of the well-known State Farm Investment Management Company.
The six largest shareholders add up to 25.72% of the shares. If the top ten shareholders are included, it is 32%.
This data is still far away from the 67% absolute control that Xiao Qi hopes to apply for privatization and delisting.
But among the remaining shares, only about 20% are on the market, and the remaining 48% or so are controlled by the management and hundreds of fund companies, if they want to acquire them. That's very cumbersome.
Therefore, Xiao Qicai entrusted Blackstone Group to acquire Disney¡¯s shares.
Only professionals like them can have the utmost patience. Go and deal with various shareholders, large and small, and buy as many shares as possible.
Xiao Qi told them to only buy 50% of the shares. This is because Xiao Qi owns 10% of the shares. Blackstone Group, which merged with Black Rock Group, also owns 3.5% of Disney shares. In addition, the 7.7% shares in the hands of Gang Leader Qiao are also in Xiao Qi's pocket.
This adds up to about 71%, which is enough to achieve Xiao Qi¡¯s goal.
Starting from the entrustment at the end of June, Blackstone Group¡¯s progress was not that smooth. However, with the outbreak of the European debt crisis, the capital chains of major fund companies were greatly challenged, and Blackstone Group took the opportunity to increase the purchase price. Therefore, many fund companies, especially small fund companies, have sold their Disney stocks to them.
In addition, the U.S. stock market is currently in a slump. Disney's stock also continued to fall. When the price was right, Blackstone Group also purchased a lot from the market.
By mid-October now, including its own, Blackstone Group has acquired a total of 33.5% of Disney shares for Xiao Qi, which can be said to be a remarkable achievement.
Especially now, with the collapse of Spain and the defeat of Italy and Ireland, more fund companies can no longer hold on. I believe that Blackstone Group will be able to acquire more than 50% of the funds in a month or two at most. share.
This is the benefit of having cash.
When everyone hopes to get cash for the winter, the large amount of cash in Xiao Qi's handDistribution is really the best tool to take advantage of the opportunity to acquire the shares you want.
In addition to Disney, Xiao Qi has not forgotten that his other goal is Universal Studios.
Of course, if after the acquisition of Disney, the privatized Universal NBC is acquired with great fanfare, then the Americans will definitely turn their backs, even if Xiao Qi has an American wife named Taylor.
No matter how strong Xiao Qi is, his influence and strength in the United States cannot be compared to the old Rockefeller.
A powerful figure like Rockefeller was forced to break up the Standard Oil Company, and the Rockefeller family stepped down from the altar.
Xiao Qi, a foreigner, is no exception.
But the smart Japanese have already figured out a way for Xiao Qi, which is to learn from Japan's super chaebols and use various shareholding methods to hold more company stocks and complete privatization in a substantial sense.
This is what Xiao Qi did to Global nb.
Universal nb is a company formed by the merger of nb television news network and universal pictures. It is an unlisted company, with 80% of its shares held by General Electric Group and 20% of its shares held by France's Vivendi Universal Group. .
In more than a year's time, the American television and telecommunications giant Comcast will cooperate with General Electric to acquire the company for a total of 6.5 billion US dollars in cash and a discount of the cable TV station to 7.5 billion US dollars, for a total of 14 billion US dollars. At the same time, General Electric will use part of the US$6.5 billion to acquire 20% of the shares of the French Vivendi Group.
However, General Electric does not want to continue to hold shares in Global nb. After agreeing to Comcast Group's acquisition request, they also added two option contracts, that is, within 2014, General Electric can force Comcast to Comcast will buy half of their 49% stake, and Comcast can force Comcast to buy the remaining half in early 2018.
If that time really comes, Comcast will expand again and become the truly largest TV and movie giant in the United States, even more powerful than News Corporation, the parent company of 20th Century Fox, and Time Warner, the parent company of Warner Brothers!
The main reason why General Electric does not want to continue to hold shares in Global nb is that their own business is declining, and Global nb is not part of their main business, so they want to reduce unnecessary energy and get back a large amount of funds. Continue to develop steadily.
In comparison, Vivendi¡¯s 20% stake is easier to buy.
With the reputation of Berard, the richest man in France, lvmh, and the French economy also falling into stagnation with the outbreak of the European debt crisis, the representatives of Vivendi and Xiao Qi had a very harmonious conversation.
In the previous life, Comcast valued Global nb at around US$27.5 billion, but Xiao Qi was much more generous than them and directly quoted a price of US$30 billion.
Precisely because Xiao Qi is very sincere, the business has almost been negotiated since September.
If Xiao Qi wants to buy the remaining 80% from General Electric now, he should be able to buy it. However, after the Disney acquisition is settled, the US Fair Trade Commission and the Department of Commerce will also be able to buy it. Came to the door.
But buying only 20% of the shares will not have much impact on Global nb. Xiao Qi is a person who likes to buy directly, so he will buy it in other ways next.
Therefore, Xiao Qi entrusted Blackstone Group to go to General Electric to buy 40% of Global nb's shares, and then put them in the asset management fund under their name. However, this part of the equity was marked again. Mingxiang Venture Capital belongs to Miss Tang Mingxiang.
At the same time, Mingxiang Venture Capital signed an agreement with Mingxiang Holdings to transfer the 40% equity of Global nb.
After turning around, the equity becomes very complicated. If it is not spent a lot of effort to verify, first of all, you have to be stuck at the Blackstone Group.
Don¡¯t forget, their boss is the former Secretary of the U.S. Department of Commerce, and he knows a lot about this set of things.
Then, Xiao Qi asked Milner to use the same method, using the name of dst Investment Company, to discuss 40% of the shares with General Electric. On the surface, dst held it, but in fact it was through Yu Shanshan's "Yu Fund" ¡±, and then transferred to the name of Qicai Investment.
The current negotiations on both sides are progressing quite well. General Electric doesn¡¯t have much interest in Global nb now. If the price is right, it will naturally be willing to sell.
As long as the negotiations are completed, through the three companies of Fairy Company, Blackstone Group, and DST Investment Company, Xiao Qi will actually hold 100% of Global nb.
Usually, elite managers from the United States run the company.
If there is any dissatisfaction, Xiao Qi will come forward in the name of three companies to controlThe development and operation of the company.
As time goes by, the U.S. government may notice something, but at least at the legal level, they won't be able to catch anything. In addition, Xiao Qi's network of contacts in the United States is very large. At that time, the most money will be spent on public relations. For a moment, naturally it¡¯s not a big problem.
In the United States, of course you can do a lot of things with money! (To be continued ~^~) - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
