Centennial Family, Rising From Hong Kong Island

Chapter 630: 4.2 billion US dollars, a huge acquisition [seeking flowers! Ask for a monthly pass! 】

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

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

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

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

Moreover, a lot of shares have been acquired, and the position under Dullet's butt is in jeopardy.

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

Universal Pictures has fallen!

Dullet came to his office, and didn't call the beloved actress over again to be happy.

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, Dulet was silent for a few seconds before saying, "Let them in!"

After hanging up the phone, Dulet's office fell into dead silence again, he was just smoking a cigarette silently.

The matter was irreversible. The Yinhe Group, a ferocious Far Eastern tyrannosaurus, had already acquired the controlling stake in the company. No matter how much he struggled, he couldn't change the final result.

Soon, a group of people walked into the office led by Assistant Dulet. There were seven or eight people, including white and yellow.

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

He is a Chinese American!

"Mr. Dullet, hello, I am a representative of Galaxy Group, and I would like to extend my greetings to you on behalf of the chairman of Galaxy Group, Mr. Su Shaoze."

Zhou Zhidong said with a smile.

Dulet nodded gently: "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 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 rob you of your property. Everything we did was done through normal means and in compliance with laws and regulations."

"In effect, we're also saving Universal."

"This is a great company with nearly a hundred years of history, and it has created many great works."

“[Jaws], [Jurassic Park], etc.”

"No one can deny his greatness."

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

"It has to drive the studio to keep growing."

"Of course, in the final analysis, there is still one sentence. The modern film industry is no longer the era of the traditional film industry."

"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 behind that of Warner and Disney."

...

As the seven major film companies in Hollywood, Disney and Warner Pictures are far behind other companies, and they are the two in the front of the total box office ranking 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 Brothers Film Company merged with CNN Television Network and Time Group to form Time Warner Group.

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

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

In modern times, it is becoming more and more difficult for a simple film company to survive. Only by relying on a large media group can it achieve considerable development.

And this is obviously something that Dullet 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 the United States

His ability and strength cannot lead the rise of Universal Pictures.

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

But Su Shaoze can't wait that long. He will take Universal Pictures as the foundation and join forces with Su's Films in Hong Kong Island to establish a super media group that spans the world.

This thing just keeps getting better.

Therefore, Dulet must be kicked out.

Zhou Zhidong chatted with Dulet for a while, but most of them were gossip, which couldn't change the final outcome.

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

Galaxy Group is preparing to acquire the shares in Dullet's hands.

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

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

"Mr. Dullet, this is our Galaxy Group's development plan for Universal Pictures for the next five years, and we will form a large-scale media group through acquisitions."

"These are our acquisition lists."

Du Lite took the list from Zhou Zhidong's hand, and slowly looked at it, 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 too fucking unrealistic!

You buy some newspapers, buy some TV networks, that's all, but 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.

For the purpose of establishing a sports channel and obtaining the rights to broadcast games after acquiring the TV network?

Falk!

These Hong Kong Islanders are simply crazy.

No!

It should be said that it is too stupid.

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

If he continues to stay with these idiots, Durant feels that he will definitely be bankrupted by them.

So, without Zhou Zhidong asking, Du Lite took the initiative to say: "I know you guys want my shares, let's talk about the price!".

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

Du Lite 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 was reluctant to part with Universal Pictures and the beauties in Hollywood, Dullet had to make a choice.

Sell ​​your own shares in exchange 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 Dullet disagreed 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, announced the news to hundreds of reporters from newspapers around the world at the Galaxy Empire Building.

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

"Thereafter, the Galaxy Group will own an absolute 89% stake in Universal Pictures."

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

...

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

Shock!

It was a week before the Galaxy Group announced that it was preparing to formally launch an acquisition offer for Universal Pictures.

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

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

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

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

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

As we all know, when it comes to mathematics, most ghosts are not very talented.

If white people are like this, black people are even more stupid like pigs.

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

"For 4.2 billion U.S. dollars, Galaxy Group's valuation of Universal Pictures is 4.2 billion U.S. dollars."

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

Although the real value of Universal Pictures is around 4 billion US dollars, this is only a valuation, when he is really faced with being acquired, especially when he is being acquired by a hostile takeover.

The value is definitely more than four billion!

Five billion U.S. dollars, or even if the two sides are evenly matched, Universal Pictures' assets may be fired to six billion U.S. dollars!

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

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

"And did you hear what Mr. Ye Tianci said just now? They used cash to acquire Dullet's shares."

"One and a half billion dollars in cash!"

A reporter from Hong Kong Island said proudly.

With Su Shaoze and others attacking cities and territories around the world, the self-confidence and national pride of Hong Kong people have also been greatly enhanced.

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 belongs to Hong Kong Island!

In the future, the culture of Hong Kong Island will invade the United States, and after knowing the news, those actors on Hong Kong Island may 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 the color of your skin.

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

"I bought it, all in cash?"

"If there is 1.5 billion in cash, that bastard Dulet can do a lot of things and make a lot of money. Although it seems that the business is lost, he can actually make a lot of money with this money."

...

"Why did the huge acquisition of 4.2 billion US dollars end in just one week?"

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

"Fack, I bought a lot of shares in Universal Pictures before, and I was going to make a lot of money, but now they are 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.
