Rebirth In Hollywood

Chapter 497 Liquidity

Combining many factors, Fleet Street has been catching up on this topic and hyping it, and it must be mainly criticism. By the end of this season's Premier League, Ryan has changed from a figure who is quite popular with the British media to a figure from the media. America's nasty black-hearted investors.

Stimulated by them, the voices and activities of Manchester United fans boycotted one wave after another. Several times, thousands of Manchester United fans suddenly appeared in front of the Hilton Hotel and blocked the front and rear doors of the hotel, preventing him from entering or leaving.

The most unlucky ones are the villas in the Kensington area. According to the report of the housekeeping company in charge, hundreds of rubbish and sundries are thrown into them every day. "Fiction" novel chapters are updated the fastest

Some British football stars have also stood up. Bobby Charlton said that Manchester United does not need capital from outside the British Isles.

The old Redknapp said that the Premier League is a British-dominated event, and it is best for Americans not to get involved.

The words of these celebrities undoubtedly gave great encouragement to the fan organization. They gathered several times in Ryan's residence and outside Manchester United's office area to protest, saying that even if the management decided to sell Manchester United, they would not transfer their Manchester United shares.

However, unlike the voices of opposition, Manchester United has never made any remarks on this matter from the players to the management, and has temporarily lost its voice.

In the second half of May, the media once again revealed that 'Red Football' reached an agreement with several Manchester United shareholders including Houston to acquire their shares at a premium.

So far, Ryan's Manchester United shares have increased to 62%, which is already a very dangerous figure for Manchester United fans and England's traditional diehards.

According to the trading rules of listed companies, as long as the shares he holds exceed 75%, Ryan can withdraw Manchester United from the stock market, forcing fans to sell their small shares, and turning Manchester United from a listed company into a private asset.

The shareholders who had vowed to oppose the intervention of US capital before sold their shares backhandedly. This made Manchester United fans extremely indignant. Many of them had certain influence. While condemning the traitors, they embarked on the path they had to choose and asked the British government for help.

In their eyes, under the criticism of the media, this is a hostile takeover, and as long as Downing Street confirms this, they can stop the takeover.

Some media represented by "Daily Mail" jumped out again. Claiming that "Red Football Company is just a shell company, there are many problems in terms of accounts and cash flow, and relevant agencies should intervene in the investigation."

There will never be a lack of geo-protection in this world,

The British government will soon announce that it will review the acquisition...

However, the other side of geo-protection has also emerged. The continuous criticism of Fleet Street has completely aroused the dissatisfaction of the North American media, and the original sporadic ridicule of the British conservative. It turned into a wide range of open fire.

"We can't understand why a normal business operation has attracted such dissatisfaction from the British? Do they think that Ryan is really a poor boy from the countryside? The so-called adherence to tradition is nothing more than their jealousy and obsession Just an excuse for a bygone time."

"The British are nothing but ridiculous traditions. Nothing left."

"Hey Brits, wake up from the glory of the British Empire, Ryan is willing to buy the English football club. You should be honored, because with him, your Premier League will definitely get more attention."

Fortunately, most of the air-to-air sprays are tabloids. After all, the mainstream media has to scruple on face, except for the veiled statement that "the British side has not considered this acquisition" and "this is a normal business behavior", they rarely make too drastic remarks.

However, this acquisition is well-known throughout the United States.

The youngest Oscar winner in history, after winning the statuette, is preparing to raise more than one billion US dollars to acquire the most successful football club in the mouth of the British. It is hard not to attract people.

In particular, each of Ryan's previous acquisitions has always brought him huge benefits. Many group companies and investment institutions can't help but analyze. Could it be that the football club's net worth will rise sharply in a few years?

Both Hollywood and Wall Street are paying huge attention to the acquisition.

In the latest issue of "Vanity Fair" and "Wall Street Journal", both conducted a detailed analysis of this acquisition and Ryan's purpose, and at the same time came to a conclusion that leveraged buyout is the smartest choice. Under the normal operation of the company, Ryan Jenkins cannot raise a huge liquidity of more than one billion U.S. dollars in a short period of time.

At the same time, they pointed out that this is a very normal business operation, and the British side should not intervene in the market with government actions, otherwise it will definitely affect the confidence of Hollywood and Wall Street in the British market.

Hiding in the Hilton Hotel, Ryan and the Murdochs had an encrypted phone call. After the two parties verbally reached a stock exchange agreement for some Blue Sky Studios, they became an alliance with many common interests.

Subsequently, under the secret intervention of No. 10 Downing Street, the relevant British agencies announced that there was no illegal act in this acquisition.

The legality of the acquisition is certain.

Not to mention the behind-the-scenes activities, lawyers Scott and Wilson Jr., as well as related Wall Street companies, have made detailed plans for this acquisition. If there is a legal aspect, then hundreds of professionals can climb the Twin Towers and go to the Twin Towers. Waiting for the arrival of September 11th.

The ruling of the government agency obviously does not satisfy the fans. In fact, in the final analysis, apart from not being able to accept Americans as the owners of their own clubs, being responsible for the management must be another major factor.

Perhaps because they couldn't stand the thousands of fans protesting in front of the club every day, or perhaps they were instructed by other parties, the management of Manchester United finally made a formal statement on the acquisition. If a leveraged acquisition cannot be avoided, they will collectively Resign.

The pressure on sponsors has also come one after another. Nike and Vodafone have stated that if Manchester United operates with huge debts, they will reconsider the remaining sponsorship contracts.

Faced with such a situation, Ryan made a series of statements in line with the people's hearts. His spokesperson announced at the latest press conference that the "Red Football" company will give up leveraged acquisitions in the future, and Ryan will voluntarily Raise funds to complete the acquisition.

Reporters from Fleet Street didn't seem to buy it, and they questioned it.

"If the acquisition of the remaining shares and the repayment of the existing debts are completed, at least 500 million pounds are needed. Can Ryan come up with this money now?"

Everyone here is not a fool, wealth and liquidity are completely different things.

"That's not what you should care about."

Shortly after the press conference, news spread that Ryan was reducing his holdings in several companies in order to cash out from the stock market and complete the acquisition of Manchester United as soon as possible.

However, Manchester United fans are still resisting, and Fleet Street is still attacking with full firepower. Ryan seems to be caught in a quagmire of acquisitions, and he is stuck with huge funds and cannot get rid of it in the short term.

"I can't believe you have no money."

On the plane back to Los Angeles, Tyler crossed his arms and squinted sideways, "My dear brother Ryan, what the hell are you playing?"

No money? Ryan remained calm, so why keneng?

Last year's profits from the stock market, except for a small part used for investment, the remaining tens of billions of dollars were distributed to different hidden foundations. Although these funds are not the only back-up funds, they will definitely be used at critical moments. will be better.

"Honey……"

Gently pinching her face, in view of the little girl's good performance during this period, Ryan said, "Sometimes, putting yourself on the edge of a cliff is more likely to cause the enemy's attack, and once the shrinking enemy takes the initiative to attack, it will definitely It will reveal its own flaws."

"It's so complicated." The little girl simply lay down on the table.

In Walt Disney’s headquarters building in Burbank, there are several high-rise office areas, the atmosphere is quiet and tense, and the staff passing by are all in a hurry. In recent months, their workload has increased sharply, but very Few complained, everyone, and now is a critical time for Walt Disney to reverse the decline of animated films since "The Lion King."

In the closed conference room on the top floor, Michael Eisner specially convened the board of directors to discuss the current countermeasures, or more precisely, how to promote his chairman and will.

All of Walt Disney’s businesses, including film, television, theme parks and consumer products, are driven by the animation business. With animation programs, it is possible to drive all business departments through the brand value chain. Global earnings growth.

However, the hand-drawn animation that Disney is good at has declined, and there has been almost no progress in the development of 3D computer animation. Even at a Comic Con held in Los Angeles a few months ago, the directors of Disney found sadly that the most popular animation in North America in the past five years Those who welcome are basically animated images produced by Pixar, and even the newly established DreamWorks Animation Studio is ahead of them.

To revive Disney animation, the acquisition of Pixar is the easiest and most appropriate way.

"According to the exact information we got." Michael Eisner's assistant, talking about the Manchester United incident that Disney's board of directors has been paying attention to, "Because of the temporary setback in the acquisition of Manchester United, Ryan Jenkins has returned to North America, and most of his activities The funds are all on this project. According to the news from Wall Street, there are indeed a small number of stocks of Blizzard and Blue Sky Studios in the market. Scott Swift is also wandering among several Jewish groups on Wall Street. Let's go, it should be selling stocks to cash out."

"And..." Michael Eisner added, "In the past year, he has invested heavily in eBay, Amazon and Google in the form of personal investment. From the current troubled Manchester United acquisition, It is not difficult to see that he certainly does not have liquidity in his hands that threatens our plan." (To be continued...) ()
