Rebirth Capital Entertainment

If Disney obtains 6.4% of its shares, it is almost certain that Kaos will become Disney's largest private shareholder, but this is not enough.

You must know that there are many institutions involved. Although the shares they hold in their hands may not exceed 6.4%, it also makes Kaos’ advantage not very obvious. In this way, it will not have the right to speak within Disney.

Very big.

But if he can get all the shares in the hands of the Bass family, then with 12% of the shares, Kaos will be able to secure a director seat on the Disney board of directors, and even have a great influence on the position of chairman.

The right to speak.

As for the discount mentioned before, in fact, Kaos no longer cares that much. If he had known that the Bass family was willing to sell the shares, Kaos would have paid part of the premium, and he would have been willing to take it completely.

There is never a shortage of funds in Kaos. With the trading of gold and oil futures, Kaos’ wealth has never stopped growing. There are at least hundreds of millions of dollars in returns every month, allowing Kaos to continue to buy.

Buy it to expand your business territory.

Coupled with various equity transactions during several stock market crashes, Kaos' current assets on the surface, although mainly derived from Google shares worth about 18.4 billion, are secretly controlled by the Kaos Jones Charitable Foundation.

Assets, both light and dark, have already exceeded US$38 billion.

According to the figures on this year's world's richest list, it is only second to Bill Gates's net worth of 58.7 billion. However, this also depends on whether the charity foundation in the other person's hands has a large sum of money hidden like Kaos.

Wealth.

Talking about the ability to hide wealth, it is not only the tradition of the Chinese rich, but also the rich and powerful families in the West have countless hidden wealth.

Compared with this wealth, the correct way to use wealth is to convert it into equity of various large companies and expand one's influence and voice.

Kaos' current assets of 38 billion, in terms of liquid U.S. dollars, are only 1.4 to 5 billion at most. The rest have been converted into various stocks and equity. This is also the asset allocation of most wealthy Americans.

method.

Even if you really can't find an investment that you think you can earn, the huge extra wealth will be transferred to various treasury bonds. Even treasury bonds with negative interest rates are safer than putting them in banks.

It is common for various banks in the West to go bankrupt when the economy is not good. If they don’t spend their money and turn it into assets, they will evaporate together with the banks.

On the contrary, if you have assets, you can sell them and get a bank loan, which is much safer than a bank.

After waiting in the private room for a while, Henry Paulson was probably afraid that Kaos would wait too long, so he walked in again and sat in front of Kaos again.

"What the Bass family means is to agree to sell all 12% of the shares, but in this case they cannot agree to a discount."

Henry Paulson shook his head helplessly.

The previous willingness to sell at a discount was only due to lack of funds. Selling 6.7% of the shares could completely solve the other party's problems. Now that the remaining 5.3% is being sold, naturally, there will be no further discount.

And since Kaos has stated that he wants all 12% of the shares, it proves that he has a lot of ideas about Disney's shares.

Even if there is no idea and Zhaocheng's transaction fails, it is not a loss to the Bass family. At most, it is better to find a new buyer than losing another two to three hundred million US dollars in discount on the original price.

A lot.

It was also because he was not sure how much Kaos wanted Disney shares, so he did not ask for a premium.

"There is no problem with this, no discount, 4.8 billion US dollars, can we sign the contract now?"

Kaos pondered for a moment after hearing this, picked up the tea cup in his hand, took a few sips, nodded, and agreed to the other party's request, but there was still no expression on his face, neither joy nor embarrassment, as if he was very worried.

Just an ordinary transaction.

"Okay, of course."

Henry Paulson nodded quickly and agreed readily.

At the same time, some people were very moved by Kaos's calm demeanor. It was no wonder that such a young man could achieve such achievements. After such a long day of observation, there was no way for him to see Kaos's thoughts.

It also made him dare not raise the price at will, and in the end he could only play it safe to ensure that the transaction was completed.

After all, in today's market, there are really not that many people who can spend so much money to acquire Disney shares, especially since the Bass family needs money very quickly, otherwise they would not offer a discounted price.

After the transaction was confirmed, both parties immediately invited lawyers, quickly drew up a contract, signed and sealed the matter and finalized it.

However, the formal arrival of shares and funds will be delayed for a few days.

The transaction amount this time is a full US$4.8 billion. Even if Kaos wants to pay it all in one go, it will be very difficult. He needs to go back and check his assets, so as to consider selling some stocks with a low appreciation rate.

, you still need to find a bank to cooperate and borrow a loan.

If it were last year, then Kaos might not have had to go to such trouble. At that time, what he had in his hands was a large amount of cash earned after the Internet bubble, and he was still worried about looking for investment directions.

But now after such a year, he has made a lot of money through various investments. First, he purchased shares of Marvel Comics, which cost 3 billion US dollars. He also took advantage of the low price to acquire 4.5% of Microsoft's shares, which was almost the same.

5 billion US dollars.

Now the amount of funds invested in the stock layout of arms companies has exceeded 4 billion US dollars.

Not to mention the scattered shares of Amazon, Apple and other high-quality companies, Kaos is also somewhat short of funds due to the acquisition of stocks.

However, although there is no careful investigation, Kaos estimates that there is a high probability that he will need a loan. If the transaction can be postponed for some time, then Kaos can wait for the enthusiasm for the war to subside and the rise of the arms company's stock to slow down and sell it in exchange for

Sufficient cash flow.

Unfortunately, now is the time when the war has just begun, and the stock is being sought after and is rising rapidly. How could Kaos be willing to sell it, which would be a loss of hundreds of millions of dollars.

And the Bass family cannot wait too long, otherwise there will be no need to sell Disney shares.

However, Kaos also has his own concerns about bank loans.
