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

In the afternoon, when Warner's stock price fell below $15, Ding Shuo chose to close his position.

In just one day, Warner's market value has shrunk by more than half.

From more than 40 billion US dollars, it plummeted to more than 20 billion US dollars.

Ding Shuo invested one billion US dollars in short selling, and because of the ten-fold leverage, the direct profit was as large as five billion US dollars.

When the final result came out, Ding Shuo couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Rich and influential people make money so fast!

Definitely, although it earned five billion dollars from Warner.

But Ding Shuo didn't use the $5 billion to buy Warner's stock.

Because in Ding Shuo's view, Warner is a sunset company without much development.

Ten years later, this company was acquired by other companies for about 70 billion US dollars.

In other words, if the money is put in Warner, it can be doubled or tripled in ten years.

It is indeed more cost-effective than depositing in the bank to earn interest.

Even for many people, this rate of return on investment is indeed quite good.

But this doesn't catch Ding Shuo's eyes.

There are a lot of investments that can exceed ten times the return, waiting for him to do it.

Among other things, the 5 billion US dollars can even buy more than 50% of Ali's shares in the hands of Yahoo and Softbank.

Ten years later, Ali's market value is three to four hundred billion US dollars.

In other words, it can bring Ding Shuo four or fifty times the return on investment.

Even, this is the market value of Ali after AliPay was stripped from Ali.

Before AliPay was taken care of, it was also ready to go public with a market value of more than 100 billion U.S. dollars.

If it had always been bound to Ali, maybe it would not have grown so inflated and would not need to be cleaned up.

Then, Ali, which is supported by payment insurance, has an additional 50 billion US dollars in market value, which is an inevitable result.

And why was AliPay stripped off by Ali? It was to obtain an Internet financial payment license.

At that time, Ali's foreign capital accounted for a large proportion of shares, which affected the license.

Therefore, Jack Ma made a decision that became the biggest black spot in his life.

Without the consent of Ali's board of directors, the payment guarantee was forcibly stripped from Ali at a low price.

Let Alipay become one, and on the surface it is still one with Ali, and even more than 70% of the profits will belong to Ali.

But in essence, the matter only belongs to the Ali entrepreneurial team, or a company owned by Jack Ma.

If Ding Shuo takes 5 billion US dollars to acquire all the shares held by Softbank and Yahoo.

Then he holds more than 50% of Ali's shares and is the largest shareholder.

Ali also does not exist, the problem of excessive foreign shareholding ratio, and the problem of difficulty in enclosing financial payment licenses.

Jack Ma will not have any reason or excuse to forcibly divest the payment guarantee.

Ding Shuo will be Ali's biggest beneficiary.

Thinking of this, Ding Shuo has ordered his assistant to keep an eye on Yahoo and Softbank's movements.

Just waiting for the financial crisis of these two companies, and then he waved the banknotes to buy Ali shares.

At the same time, Warner officially held a formal press conference.

The chairman of Warner personally came forward and announced that the executive president John Charles was relieved of his post because of his poor management, which caused the company's market value to plummet.

For the time being, Chairman Lawrence of Warner Group will concurrently serve as the executive president.

Some reporters asked Lawrence questions at the press conference.

"Mr. Lawrence, may I ask Warner's continuous and sudden adjustment of senior management, is it related to Warner's series of actions against Mr. Ding Shuo some time ago?"

Although Warner was indeed tossed miserably by Ding Shuo this time.

Not to mention that the market value has shrunk by half, even all the benefits of the cash cow "Harry Potter" series will be given to Gongshuo in half.

You know, what Ding Shuo wants is not just half of the box office revenue, but half of all copyright revenue.

"Harry Potter" is a super IP worth more than 20 billion US dollars. Although four movies have been released, at most only half of its potential has been tapped.

In other words, Ding Shuo at least from Warner, finalized 5 billion US dollars.

Even Ding Shuo would pay half of the investment. Compared with the income he can get, that investment is not worth mentioning at all.

Therefore, Warner really suffered a heavy loss.

However, members of the board of directors, including Lawrence, the chairman of Warner, did not dare to complain and dissatisfy Ding Shuo.

At least they dare not express these complaints and dissatisfaction in public.

Because, the facts have proved that Ding Shuo is really untouchable.

Don't look at Ding Shuo is out now, no longer short Warner.

But is that all right?

Warner dares to do whatever he wants, dare not take Ding Shuo seriously?

The current cooperation between the "Harry Potter" series and Brilliant Films has not yet been fully implemented through legally binding paper documents.

Does Warner dare to repent because there are huge amounts of interests in it?

dare not!

Because, if Ding Shuo can deal with Warner once, he will have the ability to deal with Warner a second time.

Even, this time Warner dared to break his promise, and Ding Shuo's methods will be even more ruthless next time.

Not to mention making Warner the second Lehman Brothers.

But as long as Ding Shuo works well, it is not a big problem for Warner to be named Ding from now on.

Therefore, in the face of the reporter's question, Lawrence, the chairman of Warner, made a positive answer with a very correct attitude.

"Yes, it is indeed related to Mr. Ding Shuo." "

"Myself and the board of directors have great admiration for Mr. Gongshuo."

"For Mr. Ding Shuo's acquisition of DC, Warner has enough cash flow, I and the entire board of directors are very grateful."

"However, John Charles was jealous of Mr. Ding's youth and potential, so he became psychologically distorted, and used the company's influence behind the board's back to attack Mr. Ding.

"It brought a certain negative impact on Mr. Ding, and at the same time almost destroyed the friendship between Warner and Mr. Ding."

"After we learned the cause and effect of the incident today, we cleared out John Charles and other people involved in the incident against Mr. Ding!"

Lawrence's words simply gave Ding Shuo enough face.

At the same time, the reporters at the scene couldn't help cursing Lawrence's shamelessness in their hearts.

Obviously he was afraid of Ding Shuo, but he still wanted to portray himself as an innocent white lotus, and put all the responsibility on the management.

Warner's incident against Ding Shuo didn't happen in a day or two, and it wasn't a small trick behind the scenes.

Instead, it was directly published in the newspaper for many days.

If there is such a big movement, Warner's board of directors will not know.

It can only be said that Warner's board of directors are all a bunch of vegetarians.

Definitely, with Lawrence's attitude, it is also certain that Warner is really afraid of Ding Shuo.

After realizing this, the reporters at the scene did not intend to stop there.

Everyone continued to ask Lawrence more sharp questions.

"Mr. Lawrence, may I ask if Warner's stock price has plummeted this time, and its market value has shrunk by more than half? Is it because the god of investment, Ding Shuo, shorted Warner, which caused a chain reaction?"

When Lawrence heard this, the muscles on his face twitched in pain.

But he still couldn't show the slightest timidity, he still forced himself to put on a smile, and slowly shook his head facing the camera.

"What are you talking about? As the chairman of Warner, I don't even know that Mr. Ding Shuo is shorting Warner. Where did you get the fake news?"

"I advise everyone not to listen to gossip, and use reason to look at the rise and fall of stock prices."

"Under the financial turmoil, stocks fluctuated, which is completely normal."

"Moreover, Warner has the confidence and ability to deal with this stock drop.

"The board of directors is discussing, and plans to spend a large sum of money to repurchase Warner's stock."

When the company's stock falls below the board's psychological expectations, if the company has sufficient cash.

It is entirely possible to take the opportunity to repurchase stocks.

This is also a commonly used measure and means to boost stock prices.

It's just that Warner's capital sinking is not sufficient now.

Even this is known to be the case.

Therefore, they did not use this method to fight when Ding Shuo chose to short Warner.

Because this kind of resistance method is negligible compared with Ding Shuo's huge influence.

Can't resist Ding Shuo's attack at all.

Only after Ding Shuo took the initiative to stop, could they use this method to stop the loss.

Many reporters at the scene are well aware of this point.

Therefore, a reporter directly raised it.

"Warner didn't give a stock repurchase plan in the morning because the god of investment is shorting Warner, so Warner didn't dare to use this method to fight back, for fear of completely angering Ding Shuo, the god of investment, right?"

When Lawrence heard this sharp truth, his complexion also became very ugly.

No matter how good-tempered a person is, his patience has a limit.

What's more, he was originally not a good-tempered person.

I am still angry with Ding Shuo all day today.

He couldn't help it, and he didn't dare to lose his temper with Ding Shuo, but he didn't need to have too many scruples about a group of small reporters.

He directly reprimanded with a dark face: I told you not to listen to the wind and rain, and not to take a little gossip as fact, you just won't listen to it!"

"How many times do I have to say it before you believe that Mr. Ding didn't short Warner?"

"If anyone continues to mess around like this, I'll ask the security to drive him away."

"Warner's press conference does not welcome media and reporters who can't understand human language!"

Lawrence is in a hurry...

However, this kind of super rich is in a hurry, although it seems to be a loss, but there is no reporter who continues to add fuel to the fire.

No one knows if there is any breaking news at this press conference that hasn't been released yet.

It would be a great disadvantage to be chased away at this time.

Ever since, the reporters at the scene also stopped a lot, and no one dared to continue aggressively targeting Lawrence.

Seeing that he completely controlled the scene directly, Lawrence was quite satisfied.

Then he continued: "Our relationship between Warner and Mr. Ding is very good. Everything that happened before was caused by misunderstanding."

"Now, the misunderstanding between us has been resolved and we have become very good friends."

"Even Warner and Mr. Ding's Brilliant Pictures will reach an important cooperation."

"Warner's "Harry Potter" series will be co-produced with Brilliant Pictures in the future. Both parties will contribute half of the investment and will also split the proceeds equally!"

"I really can't figure it out, we have such a strong relationship with Mr. Ding Shuo, why would someone insist on saying that he shorted us?"

Is this a conspiracy against Warner, or a personal conspiracy against Mr. Ding Shuo?"

After Lawrence reported the news, the reporters at the scene were completely speechless.

special

Why, no wonder you dare to publicize that you have a good relationship with Ding Shuo without any scruples!

It seems that he is not worried that Ding Shuo will slap you in the face at all, and he will respond directly, saying that he is not familiar with you.

Is this how the relationship between you two was established?

You, Warner, are really willing to spend your money!

A gold-mine level existence like Harry Potter is willing to share it with Ding Shuo...

It is also called, joint development!

What's the matter, don't say that each contributes 50% of the capital, and then the income is divided equally.

As long as you Warner yells in Hollywood, someone is willing to bear the entire production cost of "Harry Potter", but it can only account for 30% of the revenue.

There are definitely a lot of people who agree, and those who want to agree can be arranged from Hollywood to New York!

No wonder, Warner proposed a stock repurchase plan.

Feelings, you have already spent all your money, and used the money to smash Ding Shuo to forgive Warner?

For a while, everyone was shocked, but also felt that Warner was really old.

The establishment time of this company can be traced back to the beginning of the last century and has a history of one hundred years.

It is no longer the glory of the past, it is not the era of the eight major film and television companies in Hollywood, and it has always been the mainstay in the era of the six major film and television companies in Hollywood.

Facing Ding Shuo's counterattack, they even had no means of resistance other than cession of land and compensation.

Hey, Roman is a butcher's knife!

At the same time, everyone couldn't help being shocked by Ding Shuo's awesomeness.

It took only one year for the young rich man Ding to grow from an entrepreneur of a small game company.

With just one attitude, a large company with a market value of tens of billions of dollars can be directly reduced by half of its market value in less than a day.

In one leap, he became an invincible existence who could stir up the wind and cloud, and turn his hands into clouds and rain in Hollywood and Wall Street.

He has become the point where a century-old media giant like Time Warner would obediently offer up treasures and beg for mercy.

Some time ago, there was still debate on the Internet about who is better, Buffett or Ding Shuo.

Judging from the current situation (well, okay), in terms of awesomeness, Ding Shuo is almost dozens of blocks away from Buffett.

At least Buffett can't just go to the "authoritative investigation" agency like Ding Shuo, and then mention the name of a certain company.

The next day, that large company with a market value of 50 billion US dollars could evaporate half of its market value within a few hours.

This era really belongs to the era of a young man like Ding Shuo.

After being in a complicated mood for a while, all the reporters felt extremely excited again.

Because they realized that although Shan Shuo himself was not present at today's press conference.

However, there is too much to report about Ding Shuo.

After the press conference, the global Internet was once again dominated by Gongshuo.

"Warner Bows to Ding Shuo, Brilliant Pictures has made another brilliant performance, and will get half of the follow-up revenue of the Harry Potter series. "

"Time Warner can no longer grasp the era, this era belongs to Ding Shuo!"

"Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta's box office broke 500 million US dollars in ten days. Will Brilliant Pictures become the top seven in Hollywood, or will it replace Warner and continue to become an emerging big?"

"A man who just needs to express that I am unhappy can make Warner cede land and pay compensation - Ding Shuo, the god of investment!"

Not only other media, but also followed Ding Shuo's enthusiasm and reported on Gongshuo's related situation.

Even the two weekly magazines owned by Time Warner have a very high reputation in the world.

Neither "Time" nor "People" missed Ding Shuo's traffic this time, and they all made Ding Shuo their cover character.

"Time" --- 2006 is destined to be a year remembered by history, because in this year, a legendary figure Ding Shuo was born, which surprised the whole world.

Sixth can be called the year of master degree.

"People" is not to be outdone, and directly puts Ding Shuo in the second place among the twenty-five people who influence the global economy.

As for the first one, it is destined to be the one from the White Palace.

Because it was he who ordered the Federal Reserve to print money based on the results of the discussions in the "House of Elders"...
