Previous page Return to Catalog Next page
- Blackstone Group has already laid the groundwork for several related departments of Xiao Qi in the United States because of its acquisition of Disney shares.
After the US bearer Treasury bonds worth two to three billion US dollars were sent out, the relevant people in these departments basically had no opinions.
Even if there are reporters or others making trouble behind, to them, it is just an additional procedure and the result will not change.
Xiao Qi asked: "If privatization starts, how many months will it take to complete?"
Schwartzman said without hesitation: "People from the Nasdaq market, people from the Ministry of Commerce, people from the Fair Trade Commission etc. have all been taken care of. In half a year at most, Disney will be completely It belongs to you. But in terms of price, I still can¡¯t get them to lower it. It should be a premium of about 150 to recycle the shares.¡±
"This money should be given, and we should not get into too much trouble with them. Allowing them to fully benefit from the Disney transaction can also be regarded as a success of our acquisition. Otherwise, we will be the ones in trouble in the end if we go back and forth. . "Xiao Qi has never been stingy with money, and he will give everything he deserves.
"Yes, many times, as long as you give enough money, many problems will no longer be problems." Swartzman said, "Unfortunately, some people know this truth, but because they are reluctant to part with the money, they end up making trouble. There's bigger trouble."
"Speculators are more or less lucky." Xiao Qi smiled slightly and turned to another topic: "Has the news, public opinion and media aspects been settled?"
"They take money to do things, so naturally they will talk to us. It's still the same argument. Why can't Fairy Company do what Sony can do?" Swartzman said.
¡°Where¡¯s the management side?¡± Xiao Qi asked again.
"They don't have many shares to begin with. Qishao, you are willing to give them stock dividends, plus an equal cash reward when they leave. This is a very generous reward. How can they not do it?" Swartzman said, "Besides, without the supervision of a listed company, they will do things more smoothly and be happy at work, which is better than anything else."
"There is no supervision from listed companies, but it doesn't mean they don't make money." Xiao Qi laughed dumbly.
"Don't worry, Disney will definitely make money, especially if you can help them open up a super market with a population of 1.5 billion. They can only dream of working in such a company," Swartzman said.
Because we have to consider profits and stability. Many of Disney's strategies tend to be conservative, and senior executives have long been impatient.
Now Xiao Qi wants to loosen the constraints of Disney and allow them to actively enter the Chinese market for development. Of course they are very happy.
Anyway, regardless of whether Xiao Qi buys Disney or not, they are just professional managers and cannot fully control Disney.
"Compared to Disney, Universal NBC is a little more difficult." Swartzman told Xiao Qi, "General Electric doesn't have much interest in Universal NBC, but they suffered heavy losses in the financial crisis. They saw that the two of us Big fund management companies are willing to buy, so they raise the price and want to sell it at a valuation of US$40 billion.¡±
"Money is not an issue, the most important thing is that there will be no future troubles." Xiao Qi nodded. "Let me tell you, why haven't you and Milner made any progress? It turns out that you are stuck in this place."
"Money is one thing. On the other hand, we still want to slow down the process as much as possible. Don't let these two acquisitions happen at the same time, which will make many people uneasy." Swartzman said.
Disney and Universal NBC are both leaders in the American media, film and television industry. If they are acquired by Xiao Qi at the same time, then it will not just be as simple as acquiring a company, no matter how arrogant Americans are. Everyone will think that Xiao Qi wants to control the media and film industry in the United States.
¡°In addition, Xiao Qi is a Chinese, and Chinese people come to control the American media. The US government would not agree.
So this matter can only come slowly, the matter of the boss behind NBC. It cannot be truly revealed for three to five years, seven to eight years. Only when Xiao Qi's influence expands and Fairy Company truly takes root all over the world can its true details be revealed.
Schwarzman had previously advised Xiao Qi to transfer Fairy Company¡¯s purchase of Vivendi Global Group¡¯s shares to another fund company and prevent Fairy Company from appearing on Universal NBC¡¯s shareholder list.
But Xiao Qi thought about it and still didn¡¯t do it.
Fairy Company only holds 20 shares of Universal NBC on the surface, and is not a controlling shareholder. The United States is at most surprised that Xiao Qi likes to buy shares of large companies and groups, and is not too sensitive.
If you don¡¯t have shares in Universal NBC,It is not easy for Universal Park to take root in China. Xiao Qi will keep the remaining 80 shares a secret even from China for the time being. Only the senior executives of the relevant partner groups and his relatives will know about it. A fortune.
With his thoughts back in front of him, Xiao Qi nodded and said: "You are right to say that, then let's continue the negotiation and try to conclude this negotiation next year."
"Okay." Schwartzman said, "My suggestion is that you can announce that you have bought the shares of Global NBC20 around March next year, and then wait until around June, and then we and DST will announce the successful joint bidding and obtain 80% of Global NBC's shares." shares.¡±
"Can."
Xiao Qi was very satisfied with this.
The biggest difference between Blackstone Group and other fund management companies is that they will not only help you complete acquisitions and transactions, but also put themselves in your shoes and help you do things beautifully and satisfy everyone.
This kind of service attitude is the most important weapon for them to become the world's largest fund management company.
¡¡
December 1st, Monday.
It¡¯s 9 a.m. Eastern Time, one and a half hours before the Nasdaq opens during the winter season.
But at this time, the press conference hall of the Nasdaq Exchange was packed with seats.
More than 100 reporters were crowded in the hall, standing or sitting, looking at the few men sitting on the press conference platform.
Sitting in the middle is Lun Xing, the general manager of the North American laboratory of Fairy Company Mingxiang Holdings. He usually acts as the spokesperson for Fairy Company¡¯s actions in North America.
On his left is Carter, the vice chairman of Nasdaq, and on his right is Disney CEO Clooney Green. This battle is a bit subtle.
Coupled with the rumors that have been circulating some time ago that someone is purchasing Disney shares in large sums, everyone feels that there must be big news today.
Sure enough, after Carter's opening remarks, Lensing smiled and spoke: "I know everyone has been waiting for a long time, so I will just say it. As of this morning, our Fairy Company has acquired 6796 shares of Disney Company. We have reached the minimum standards for privatization and delisting applications stipulated by Nasdaq. At the same time, we have reached a unified understanding of privatization and delisting with the Disney board of directors on the Nasdaq stock market. Therefore, starting from today, Disney¡¯s shares will be released. Stop trading and wait for us to discuss the final repurchase price with shareholder representatives before officially privatizing and delisting."
¡°Wow~~¡±
The reporters below all surged up like a tidal wave.
it is as expected
As expected, Xiao Qi is making the acquisition again.
I just didn¡¯t expect that this time he would extend his magic hand to Disney
Will the Chinese flag be planted on Disney¡¯s castle in the future?
Everyone¡¯s expressions were uncertain, but this did not prevent them from immediately raising their hands in unison, wanting to ask questions.
In this regard, American journalists are indeed more qualified. They do not shout questions like they are in a wet market, but they are very particular about rules.
The emcee who was presiding over the meeting next to him named a reporter. He immediately got up and said: "I am a reporter from the Los Angeles News. I would like to ask General Manager Lensing, why does Fairy Company want to acquire Disney? Do you have sufficient understanding of Disney's future development? What about confidence? Do you have any long-term plans for Disney?¡±
All right.
¡°Shills are everywhere, and at press conferences, shills are even more common. Five or six out of ten questions are the reporters¡¯ own ideas, which is good, and sometimes there are even two or three.
Especially when it comes to the most critical and important issues, no matter which press conference is held, it must be raised by the person who made the reservation.
After all, no one wants to mess up their press conference.
Therefore, upon hearing this question, Lensing smiled slightly, "We are very optimistic about the impact of Disney culture on the world, especially in China, where there are many young people who grew up watching Disney animation. Our Fairy Company bought Disney, It is to completely integrate Chinese culture with world culture. And according to our chairman¡¯s plan, within the next ten years, China will open at least four Disney theme parks, plus many Disney merchandise movies and other projects. This is not only a good thing for fans in China, but also a good thing for Disney.¡±
"But you have turned Disney into a Chinese company. Can the American people enjoy the benefits?" Another reporter stood up and asked after receiving permission.
"Of course there are benefits, because Disney is still headquartered in the United States and it is still an American company.Not only will our operations in the United States not be reduced, but they will be further increased. We will announce specific plans in the future. "Lensing said firmly.
"Excuse me¡¡"
""
Questions were asked one by one. Whether it was Rensing, Green or Carter, they all answered fluently and seemed full of confidence.
"Compared to the excitement in the hall, the entire United States where the news has spread has already become a sensation. To be continued - Didn't finish reading?
