MTL - Centennial Family, Rising From Hong Kong Island-Chapter 367

Chapter 634: US$4.2 billion, a huge acquisition case [Seeking flowers! Ask for a monthly pass! 】

Dulette sat in his bed all night in a manic mood, smoking one cigarette after another.

When the sun rose, he groomed himself neatly, but the black eye rims and the haggard face still showed that his state was not very good and he was in a bad mood.

On this day, the atmosphere in Universal Pictures was a little weird. When all the employees saw Dulette, they still greeted him respectfully, but there was more desire to explore in their eyes.

They know that a super consortium from the Far East is launching a strong acquisition of Universal Pictures.

And having acquired a lot of shares, Dulette's position under his **** is at stake.

But what everyone doesn't know is that just a few hours ago, the Galaxy Group has completed its holding of Universal Pictures, taking a 51% stake.

Universal Pictures has fallen!

Dulette came to his office and didn't call the beloved actress over again.

But quietly waiting for something.

It wasn't until ten o'clock in the morning that the phone in front of his office finally rang.

After picking up the phone and listening to a few words, Dulette was silent for a few seconds before saying, "Let them in!"

Hanging up the phone, Dulette's office fell into dead silence again, he was just smoking a cigarette in silence.

The matter is irreversible. The ferocious Far East Tyrannosaurus of the Galaxy Group has already obtained the controlling share of the company. Even if he struggles, he cannot change the final result.

Soon, a group of people walked into the office under the leadership of Assistant Dulette, seven or eight people, some white and some yellow.

The leader was a yellow-skinned man in his thirties, his name was Zhou Zhidong.

It's a Chinese-American!

"Hello, Mr. Dulight, I am the representative of Galaxy Group. First, I would like to greet you on behalf of the chairman of Galaxy Group, Mr. Su Shaoze."

Zhou Zhidong said with a smile.

Dulette nodded lightly: "Hello."

"I know Mr. Su Shaoze, and I have read some reports about his own experience."

"Starting from scratch, he created a super consortium in a short period of time. He is a very powerful person."

"I admire him a lot too."

"But doesn't Mr. Su know that robbing other people's property is a very unfriendly thing?"

Zhou Zhidong chuckled again and shook his head: "NO, we didn't **** your property, everything we do is through normal means and is legal and compliant."

"And in reality, we're saving Universal."

"It's a great company that's been around for nearly a century, and it's created a lot of great stuff."

"[Jaws], [Jurassic Park], etc."

"No one can deny his greatness."

"However, it is no longer the traditional film industry era of ten years ago. More and more technologies are emerging, the amount of film investment is increasing, and new development concepts are emerging."

"It has to push the film companies to keep developing and improving."

"Of course, in the final analysis, it is still a sentence, the modern film industry is no longer the traditional film industry era."

"It's the era of capital. Hollywood is not a pure land. Whoever has money will become stronger and stronger."

"Time Warner and Disney are a stark example."

"The development of Universal Pictures over the years is far less than that of Warner and Disney."

...

As the seven major Hollywood film companies, Disney and Warner Films are far behind other companies, and the two of them are in front of the total box office rankings every year.

Because they are no longer a pure film company, but belong to the capital camp.

After a series of mergers and acquisitions, Warner Bros. Pictures merged with CNN TV network, Time Group, etc. to form Time Warner Group.

Until later generations, it is still the world's largest media group.

And the same is true for Disney, its rise is even more legendary!

In modern times, it has become more and more difficult for a pure film company to survive. Only by relying on a large media group can it achieve rapid development.

And this is obviously something that Dulette can't do. Although he is rich, he is not a small rich man in the United States, but he is not particularly rich.

He has some friends and connections, but he doesn't have access to the top connections in America

His ability and strength cannot lead Universal Pictures to rise.

It is precisely because of this that in history, Dulette had to sell Universal Pictures three years later.

But Su Shaoze can't wait that long. Based on Universal Pictures, he will unite with Su's Pictures on Hong Kong Island to establish a super media group that spans the world.

This thing is getting better and better.

So, Dulette must be kicked out.

Zhou Zhidong and Dulette chatted for a while, but it was mostly gossip, which could not change the final outcome.

It didn't take long to get to the point.

The Galaxy Group is preparing to buy Dulette's stake.

Although the shares controlled by Galaxy Group have exceeded 50%, it is still uninsured. Su Shaoze does not want such a major shareholder in Universal Pictures to be watching.

I don't even want him to share his achievements.

"Mr. Dulight, this is our Galaxy Group's development plan for the next five years for Universal Pictures, and a large media group will be formed through acquisition."

"These are our acquisition lists."

Dulette took the list from Zhou Zhidong's hands and slowly looked on, but his face became more and more ugly, and he was frightened.

The acquisition plan is grand and looks like a success, but it's so **** unrealistic!

You can buy some newspapers and some TV networks, but you can buy the telephone and telegraph company 4, buy the Netscape browser.

Even more bizarre is the acquisition of a baseball team, a basketball team, and a football team.

Just to build a sports channel and get the rights to broadcast games after buying the network?

Fake!

These Hong Kong Islanders are simply crazy.

Do not!

Should be too stupid.

So many acquisition plans require a lot of money. The key is that they may not achieve any results, and the possibility of losing money is very high.

Durant feels like he'll be bankrupted by them if he continues to hang out with these idiots.

Therefore, without Zhou Zhidong opening his mouth, Dulette took the initiative to mention: "I know you want my shares, let's talk about the price!".

Chapter 631 Guilt and Compensation [Ask for flowers! Ask for a monthly pass! 】

Dulette knew very well that if he continued to stay on the same boat with these Hong Kong Islanders, he would definitely be bankrupted.

Therefore, although he is reluctant to bear Universal Pictures and the beauties of Hollywood, Dulette has to make a choice.

Sell ​​your shares for cash to expand your other businesses.

Now is a great opportunity!

The entire United States is short of money, and now whoever has cash is the uncle.

It's just that the Galaxy Group and Dulette have a disagreement on the price of Universal Pictures.

After more than a week of negotiations, the two sides finally reached an agreement.

Ye Tianci, CEO of Galaxy Group, made the announcement to hundreds of journalists from newspapers around the world at the Galaxy Empire Building.

"A few days ago, Galaxy Group reached an agreement with Mr. Dulette, chairman of Universal Pictures, to acquire a 36% stake in Universal Pictures with US$1.5 billion in cash."

"After that, Galaxy Group will own 89% of Universal Pictures' absolute shares."

2 "Mr. Dulight will resign from the board of directors of Universal Pictures, and Mr. Su Shaoze, chairman of Galaxy Group, will temporarily serve as chairman of Universal Pictures."

...

When Ye Tianci finished speaking, there was an uproar in the conference hall, and hundreds of reporters rioted.

Shock!

The Galaxy Group announced that it was preparing to formally launch an acquisition offer for Universal Pictures a week ago.

In just one week, the Galaxy Group has actually won 89% of the shares of Universal Pictures.

In other words, Galaxy Group has become the only major shareholder of Universal Pictures.

Because Universal Pictures is a listed company, the remaining 11% of its shares are tradable shares in the stock market and are in the hands of many shareholders.

These shareholders have no say in the operation and development of Universal Pictures, so Universal Pictures at this time has completely become a subsidiary of Galaxy Group.

"Buy Karma, $1.5 billion, 36% of the shares, how much is this?" said a foreign ghost, scratching his head.

As we all know, most of the ghosts are not talented in mathematics.

White people are still like this, black people are even more stupid and pigs.

A Hong Kong Island reporter next to him immediately gave the answer.

"For $4.2 billion, the Galaxy Group's valuation to Universal Pictures is $4.2 billion."

"Universal Pictures was acquired for only 4.2 billion US dollars? I thought its stock price could reach 6 billion!" said a US reporter stationed on Hong Kong Island in disbelief.

Although the real value of Universal Pictures is around $4 billion, this is only a valuation, when he really faces a takeover, especially a hostile takeover.

The value is definitely more than four billion!

Five billion dollars, even if the two sides are evenly matched, the assets of Universal Pictures may be fired to six billion!

But now, it has been acquired for only 4.2 billion US dollars!

"Wake up, brother, what time is it? The financial crisis isn't over yet, there's a shortage of money everywhere."

"And did you hear what Mr. Ye Tianci said just now? They bought Dulight shares with cash."

"A full half a billion dollars in cash!"

A Hong Kong Island reporter said proudly.

With Su Shaoze and others conquering cities around the world, it has also greatly enhanced the self-confidence and national pride of Hong Kong Islanders.

Established for nearly a hundred years, Universal Pictures, one of the seven major Hollywood film companies that exported American culture to the world, was acquired by the Galaxy Group.

Galaxy Group is their Hong Kong Island!

In the future, Hong Kong Island culture will invade the United States, and after knowing the news, the actors on Hong Kong Island will probably go crazy, they are the most excited.

If you have the opportunity to go to Hollywood, maybe you can become a world superstar. Of course, this is difficult, and it depends on your skin color.

But Galaxy Group's acquisition of Universal Pictures undoubtedly opened up a new path for these actors.

"I buy it, all in cash?"

"With 1.5 billion in cash, that **** Dulette can do a lot of things and make a lot of money. Although it looks like the business is lost, he can actually make a lot of money with this money."

...

"Why did the $4.2 billion mega-acquisition come to an end in just one week?"

"In the stock market, the stock price of Universal Pictures has not changed much."

"Fake, I bought a lot of shares in Universal Pictures before, and I'm going to make a lot of money. Now I'm all in my hands."

...

While the press conference was going on, Su Shaoze's office was on the top floor of the Galaxy Empire Building.

A woman appeared here.

Luo Meiyun!
