Entertainment: Acquisition Of Marvel At The Beginning, Winning The Widow Sister

After finalizing the matter of accepting a new round of financing and introducing new shareholders.

Ding Shuo looked at the time, and then said the last topic of today.

"Okay, it's getting late, and everyone is busy, so let me talk about the last question for today's meeting!"

"It doesn't matter what the final result of Qiangsheng Group's new round of financing will be.

"We all have a cash flow of more than 60 billion U.S. dollars!"

"It must be a stupid move to keep this money in the account."

"Moreover, the whole world is now facing the negative impact of the financial tsunami."

"There are a lot of high-quality assets all over the world, waiting for us to acquire them!"

"According to my survey, the life of those luxury brands in Europe is very difficult at present."

"At the same time, I am very optimistic about the future market of luxury goods."

"Once the financial tsunami is over, there will be a spring of luxury consumption!"

"And, this spring will be extraordinarily brilliant!"

"Because the Xia Kingdom's economy is on the rise, and there will be a large number of newly rich people there.

"They're going to have a huge explosion of enthusiasm for luxury."

"So, I plan to mobilize a group of funds, and take advantage of the current trough of luxury brands to make large-scale acquisitions."

"My idea is to set up a subsidiary specializing in luxury goods under the Qiangsheng Group.

"This subsidiary will go to Europe to scan the goods!"

"My request is to let this subsidiary surpass LV and become the world's largest luxury goods group!"

"Do you have any comments on my decision?"

"If there is, you can bring it up!"

At the moment, Kering Group is only in the daily necessities business, and even the main market is still on the African savannah...

They formally set foot in the business of luxury brands until after 2008.

Taking advantage of the impact of the financial tsunami, they successively acquired luxury brands including Gucci, Yves Saint Laurent, Gem Dragon, and Balenciaga.

It directly became the second largest luxury brand in the world after LV.

As for Ding Shuo's current plan, in addition to replicating the road of Kering Group, he also wants to acquire Hermès, which Kering Group didn't really get.

If Qiangsheng Group successfully acquires Hermès on the basis of the acquisition of those brands that Kering Group could have acquired.

Even if you don't say leave LV behind, at least you can be on an equal footing with LV.

Facing the suggestion made by Ding Shuo.

Although an old fox like Philip Morgan felt that it was a bit deviated from his main business.

After all, Qiangsheng Group should not have any relationship with luxury brands no matter from which point of view.

But if you really want Philip Morgan to delineate a scope for the main business of Qiangsheng Group.

For a while, he couldn't tell for sure.

Ding Shuo not only led Qiangsheng Group to emerge in the financial field, but also gained a lot.

He also led Qiangsheng Group to develop rapidly in the film and television industry.

Not only did they frequently make acquisitions in this field, but they even dared to quote a higher valuation than Time Warner's market value to investors.

In addition, the basic market of Qiangsheng Group is even the stocks of some Internet companies including Microsoft.

Now Ding Shuo even wants to enter the luxury industry in a big way.

In short, Philip Morgan of At the moment doesn't quite understand what Ding Shuo is trying to build a powerful group into.

In what direction should we lead the Qiangsheng Group?

As a member of the board of directors and one of the shareholders, Philip Morgan still decided to ask out the doubts in his heart.

"Chairman, I don't question your investment philosophy, I just have a small doubt, and I want to ask you for advice!"

Ding Shuo nodded: "Just ask!"

Philip Morgan asked with doubts on his face: "I want to know, what is your positioning for Qiangsheng Group? Or, what kind of enterprise do you hope to lead Qiangsheng Group to become?"

Ding Shuo smiled slightly and stretched out two fingers!

"It's very simple, I hope Qiangsheng Group can become a company that can make a lot of money and have a huge influence in the world!"

"So, I never thought about limiting it to a certain field."

"I will get involved in any industry that can make money, and any industry that has a future, other than illegal industries!"

"Isn't the consortium behind you all like this?"

After hearing this answer, everyone applauded.

Ding Shuo's meaning is very obvious, he also wants to create a super consortium.

And everyone also very much hopes to see that Gongshuo can build a super consortium.

After all, even Carl Locke Filler and Robert Dupont, the kind of people who have a high probability of being in charge of the consortium behind them in the end.

I also hope that I can participate in the rise of a super consortium.

In that way, it can prove their value even more.

Robert Dupont also jokingly said: "Ding Dong, you are wrong, the consortium behind us is even involved in illegal industries, haha!"

Spreading his hands, i said: "Then we are the same!"

Philip Morgan was also heartbroken. He looked at Ding Shuo and solemnly expressed his attitude.

"Chairman, I am also looking forward to being able to be your follower, by your side, and to witness you create a super consortium together!"

"So, your investment decision, I support it with both hands!"

It was rare for Philip Morgan to be so excited. Ding Shuo tried again to see if he could give him a stamp of thought.

But the result was still a failure, and Ding Shuo couldn't help complaining in his heart.

The old fox really Nima will act.

However, things are progressing smoothly, at least this meeting has reached the end of the class he wanted.

So Ding Shuo gave orders to Occam Louis.

"Do three things well!"

"The first thing is to communicate with Goldman Sachs and pass on my attitude towards Brilliant Pictures' valuation of US$50 billion to see if they can accept it.

"If Goldman Sachs accepts this valuation, they can transfer 10% of Brilliant Pictures' shares to them.

"By the way, we have to express our attitude to them, including the five billion dollars they injected."

"There are two billion U.S. dollars, and the Sheng Group wants to cash them back."

"Because after we acquired Marvel and DC, we injected a billion dollars into each of these two companies!"

The second thing is to express my attitude to Huawen Group and China Merchants Ju Group in Xiaguo.

"I and the board of directors welcome them to join and accept their financing."1

"However, for the valuation of Qiangsheng Group, 180 billion US dollars is not enough, it must be 200 billion US dollars!"

"Tell them, we are not short of money, and there are more than 60 billion US dollars in cash lying in the account."

"We are willing to accept their financing because we think they can bring a financial surprise to the strong group!"

"The first thing and the second thing, give me a final answer within three days."

"If it's more than three days, don't wait!"

"The last thing is to send a team to Europe to do research and find out the details of those luxury brands in Europe."

"I only give you one month. After one month, I need a detailed list of luxury brands that can be acquired."

After finishing the order, Ding Shuo directly announced the end of the meeting.

After the meeting, Philip Morgan found the broken one.

"Chairman, JPMorgan Chase is hosting a party tonight, and many capable people in the financial field will attend. Are you free to attend?"

Ding Shuo waved his hand and said, "Don't count me in this kind of activity, capitalists like you vampires, I have no common language."

"Instead of going to your party and doing boring entertainment with people I don't know, I might as well go back and play games with Gal Gadot."

Philip Morgan was not offended when he was rejected.

Again, Ding Shuo has the capital of arrogance.

Moreover, Ding Shuo's ability to talk to him so openly means that Ding Shuo regards him as one of his own.

So, he also made a joke with Ding Shuo.

"Chairman, I think you should have a new understanding of your identity."

"You have to know that you have already become a member of the capitalists when you sold "Minecraft" to Wei Ruan."

Robert Dupont laughed and joked.

"Even if Ding Dong is also a capitalist, he is different from us."

"He's a young, handsome capitalist!"

"Philip, you should really go to the Internet and check it out. By the way, you should sign up for Twitter."

"That company was invested by Ding Dong, and it is the most popular social media platform right now.

"Many little girls up there are crying and wanting to teach us how to warm our beds."

Philip Morgan said: "That's not surprising, my daughter is only twelve years old, and she begs me every day, wanting me to bring her over to take a picture with the chairman.

"You have to admit that the attraction of a legendary figure like the chairman to women is fatal."

"This is not what you and I envy, just envy."

Ding Shuo didn't doubt that Philip Morgan wanted to be his son-in-law.

Just hearing Robert DuPont mention Twitter, he realized that he still has 30% of Twitter's shares.

Like Twitter, it is destined to be a social media platform that will have a huge influence on public opinion.

It is impossible for Eagle Sauce to allow himself to be a foreigner to take the lead and have a huge right to speak.

Therefore, Ding Shuo planned to make arrangements in advance, so he opened his mouth to explain something to the two of them.

"Speaking of Twitter, this is really a company with great potential."

"I happen to have 30% of Twitter's shares in my hand. Remember to remind me at the next meeting."

"I plan to sell it to Qiangsheng Investment."

Qiangsheng Investment is a subsidiary of Qiangsheng Group mainly used for investment.

For example, Ding Shuo used to hold shares in Microsoft, Amazon, Google, and Apple, and now they are all controlled by this company.

Thirty percent of Twitter's shares are in his own hands, which is definitely not safe.

But put it in the strong investment, it is as stable as Mount Tai.

Even if the owner of the White Palace wants to make trouble, he can't do anything about it.

At the same time, selling Twitter's shares to Qiangsheng Investment is almost equivalent to turning the left hand into the right hand.

Anyway, Qiangsheng Group is also his master.

At most, it's just a loss of money.

But Twitter Group, even if it is developing very well now, is only worth a few hundred million dollars.

In the future, it is just a company with a market value of 40 to 50 billion US dollars.

It looks like a lot, but compared with the real Internet giants, the gap is really not that big.

Ding Shuo didn't care about this little money loss.

Ding Shuo doesn't care, and shareholders like Philip Morgan don't care.

Not to mention Twitter does look promising...  

Even if Ding Shuo really wanted to use a shell company to get tens of millions of dollars from Qiangsheng Group into his own pocket.

none of them will have any

Opinion.

Who allowed Ding Shuo to lead the strong group and develop very rapidly?

After saying this, Ding Shuo greeted everyone, and accompanied by bodyguards and assistants, they went back to the hotel together.

It's more interesting to find Gal Gadot to have fun with Pippi.

It was at this time that Goldman Sachs also received a reply from Qiangsheng Group and held a high-level meeting for this.

At the meeting, Peter, the CEO of Goldman Sachs, who strongly advocated investing in Brilliant Films, brought up this matter and discussed it with the board of directors and senior management.

"Goldman Sachs gave a reply, and their chairman Ding Shuo expressed that they are willing to accept our financing."

"But he is not satisfied with the valuation of 30 billion US dollars we gave to Brilliant Pictures. He believes that the valuation of Brilliant Pictures is at least 50 billion US dollars."

What do you all think?"

The same is to ask everyone what they think.

Peter, the CEO of Goldman Sachs, speaks out with momentum.

At the high-level meeting of the Qiangsheng Group with Ding Shuo, the momentum shown when he said it was obviously not the same song.

And Goldman Sachs' top management and board members are obviously not as convinced and in awe of Ding Shuo as the top management of Qiangsheng Group and the 603 members of the board of directors.

Immediately there was a high level vice president who expressed his different views.

"I don't think there is any need to bring this matter up and put it in a high-level meeting for study.

"What is the scale of Brilliant Film and Television? The previous valuation of 30 billion US dollars, I already think it is too high!"

"Now they dare to ask for 50 billion U.S. dollars?!"

"In my opinion, this is Ding Shuo's big mouth, trying to take us for a fool!"

"If we agree, we will really be taken advantage of and become a joke of our peers. w

"You know, Time Warner's market capitalization is only over 40 billion dollars!"

Yes, there are many factions within Goldman Sachs.

This high level vice president, like the executive president Peter, belongs to two opposing factions.

Regardless of whether they can veto what Peter is going to do, they will definitely oppose it clearly.

Goldman Sachs' board of directors is also happy to see such a result. It is not conducive to the board of directors to control the overall situation if Biyi is monolithic.

At this moment, the members of the board of directors are all watching the show.

And Peter doesn't need to go off in person, he has his confidant, who is also a high-level vice president, to come out to match.

"Comparing Time Warner with Brilliant Pictures, this is the most stupid way!"

"In addition to Time Warner's old qualifications, the current life even needs to sell DC to survive."

"Their share price is low, that's the inevitable result.

"However, Brilliant Pictures is in a thriving atmosphere."

"The IP I own can even attract legendary directors like James Cameron to come to seek cooperation in person."

"At the same time, they are far ahead of Time Warner in cultivating new directors."

"The box office of "Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" is running at one billion dollars."

"More importantly, they also have DC and Marvel."

"These two comic giants did not have a good life before."

"But don't forget, it's the master of investment who has taken them away.

"That's a man who can turn decay into magic."

"So, I think that Time Warner can have a market value of more than 40 billion U.S. dollars, and Brilliant Pictures, which is more youthful and energetic, can be valued at 50 billion U.S. dollars, which is very reasonable!"

Talk about the facts and present the data, expressing Peter's meaning.

Peter didn't bother to fry, and looked directly at the members of the board of directors, and made a final proposal.

"The situation is like this. Whether or not to vote for Brilliant Pictures, let's discuss it and vote with a show of hands!"

The board members just started discussing it.

After about ten minutes, everyone began to express their views one after another.

Obviously, everyone still believes in Ding Shuo's ability, and believes that Ding Shuo can lead Brilliant Pictures to create a miracle.

In the end, 70% of the votes were decided to invest in Brilliant Pictures.

The proposal to invest 5 billion US dollars in Brilliant Pictures, accounting for 10% of the shares, passed smoothly.
