(I want to hear more of your voices and receive more of your suggestions. Now search and pay attention to the WeChat public account "qdread" to give more support to "Dream Times"!) Feng Kexin's acquisition of Qingshuiwan and A breakthrough has been made in Tseung Kwan O's land, and there is also good news from Xiao Qi's side.
I just asked Citibank to transfer 9 billion Hong Kong dollars to Feng Kexin's account, and Legere from Goldman Sachs in the United States also received news that Marvel's management and shareholder representatives have initially agreed to the Swift family fund's acquisition plan.
The Swift family fund acquired Marvel and its assets at an overall price of 4.73 billion US dollars, delisting and privatizing Marvel from the stock market.
All management executives will stay in their posts, guarantee that no employee will be laid off within five years, and an annual injection of no less than 300 million US dollars will be given within three years to ensure the normal development of the company's business.
If the management performs well, within the next ten years, the Swift Family Fund will give them no less than 5% of the shares as an incentive.
Americans like to engage in equity incentives.
But the so-called do as the Romans do, if you don't do this in the United States, then those elite professional managers will not easily work for you.
Especially in the case that Little Taylor didn't have much business talent, they needed their full assistance.
But on the other hand, the professional elites in the United States, under the circumstances of strict laws and regulations, are not so easy to be white-eyed wolf, and they can usually earn a lot of wealth for their employers.
The large and small shareholders of Marvel Corporation don’t know the origin of the Swift family fund that popped up suddenly, but they have been struggling to support them, and they are naturally rejoicing when they finally encounter such a big taker. Killed with a knife.
After turning over 2008 and entering 2009, the financial crisis not only did not end, but became more and more violent.
The unemployed population in the United States has increased for eight consecutive months, hitting the largest percentage since the Reagan era, and the social situation is not optimistic.
The United States has always been the world's largest financial power. When banks, fund companies, and bond mortgage companies have closed down one after another, people's lives have naturally been greatly affected.
One of the biggest changes is. Major credit card companies have already tightened their quotas one after another, and they dare not let people swipe their cards to spend in advance.
Conversely, the same is true for the people at the bottom. They don’t dare to swipe their cards anymore. They actually learned from the aunts in Huaguo and started saving every cent. They have to think about it for a long time when they go out to buy groceries. Not to mention going out to eat chic, all these useful and useless things will be reduced by half!
Now the merchants in the United States are about to cry. Without Americans swiping credit cards in large sums, they are still playing with their high costs.
Ever since, the wave of closures has ranged from factories to restaurants, from daily necessities to the clothing industry... The wave of store closures in the United States is almost as good as that in China.
This made Xiao Qi happier, because these disasters were originally caused by the Americans themselves, including Europe, if they weren't lazy. Where could the current financial crisis be?
If people all over the world were like Chinese people, working honestly all their lives, I am afraid we would have already rushed out of the solar system by now.
It can be seen from the series of reactions above. The impact of the financial crisis has never been one aspect, but a whole. Involved in every aspect of people's lives.
Ok.
The topic is a bit far away.
But in fact, this is the case. Not only the financial industry, the people's livelihood industry, but also the film and entertainment industry have been seriously affected.
Marvel’s biggest revenue now is still comics and their anime versions. The income from live-action movies is not enough for them, not to mention that those prodigal boys have sold a lot of movie copyrights of heroes, and They haven't made much money yet, so they all have doubts about the development of Marvel, and they are not confident about Marvel's future.
under these circumstances. Someone who was taken advantage of was willing to pay 4.73 billion U.S. dollars, which was almost 1 billion U.S. dollars higher than the market price. Buy 100% of Marvel, the idiot won't sell them.
Compared with the bottom line of 5 billion US dollars given by Xiao Qi, Legere has saved Xiao Qi 270 million US dollars, but it involves delisting, privatization, taxes, commissions, etc., Xiao Qi needs to pay more than 6 billion US dollars for this the cost of.
This is still based on the fact that the Swift family fund is established overseas. If it is replaced by a local company in the United States, at least another 500 million will be added to the cost.
That's the trouble with buying a public company in the US.
If it is changed to an unlisted company, then there are more places to operate. Various investment banks and accounting firms will provide Xiao Qi with a perfect tax avoidance plan, which will definitely allow the US government to receive the least amount of money.
But Xiao Qi is not unhappy, because buying Marvel is the most profitable, and now a little loss, in the future, when a comic hero movie can have a box office of 1 billion US dollars, it can be done effortlessly Take it back.
It's not that Xiao Qi has no contacts in the American film industry. Both David and Sam have deep contacts in the entertainment industry, especially David, who is a genius producer of commercial films.
Once the Marvel company is sorted out, David can start producing a series of hero movies. At that time, the days of counting a lot of money will not be far away.
No matter how rich Xiao Qi is, he will still feel very happy when watching these movies that earn a lot of money. After all, no one will dislike his rich money.
Of course, now is not the time.
First, Marvel still needs to straighten out the relationship and re-plan its future direction.
The second is that the US economy is at its most difficult time, and it is undoubtedly a risky move to make movies at this time.
The third point, which is the most important point, is that Xiao Qi has to wait for the release of "Avatar" in December this year.
When this magic film is released, people will know what is called a real 3D movie, what is called a real IMAX movie, and what is called an IMAX3D movie that makes people scream and pass out!
IMAX and 3D not only double the ticket price, but also change the entire viewing experience. Only this kind of immersive viewing experience can attract more people to the cinema and watch those well-made movies. Big hit.
Isn’t that how the live action movies of American anime heroes swept the world?
Therefore, it is still necessary to borrow Cameron's light to flourish in the film industry.
Looking back, of course it doesn't mean that Xiao Qi didn't do anything.
On the contrary, in order for David and Sam to get exercise, Xiao Qi also planned to let them have a lot of experience in 2009, and then they will not have the experience to start making these hero movies until 2010.
So when the two of them came to China in October last year, Xiao Qi discussed with them the plan to invest in the production of 3 movies, all of them action movies.
Anyway, in general, there are only two kinds of Hollywood movies that can make money.
One is a disaster blockbuster wrapped in love, and the other is a hit movie with special effects.
Marvel's hero movies belong to the second type, with a little bit of the first type.
So as long as you have the experience of making action movies, you will be familiar with Marvel hero movies. Going back to the familiar movies that use bombs to open the way, it will immediately attract the attention of the whole world, and the whole world will make money like crazy.
Marvel is the property of Little Taylor, and will also be the property of her and Xiao Qi's children.
Compared with the 5% Disney stock that Xiao Qi wanted to give her before, Marvel is naturally much more prosperous. Although it is not as powerful as Disney, it will not decline for at least a hundred years.
However, this does not mean that Xiao Qi is not prepared to buy Disney's stock.
On the contrary, besides buying Apple shares with a smile on his face, Gang Leader Qiao is also actively helping him negotiate the transfer of shares with Disney shareholders.
Because as Xiao Qi said before, as long as children are still willing to believe in fairy tales, then Disney will never be shattered. Its fairy tales and basic Disneyland are the strongest weapons that other companies cannot achieve.
During the financial crisis in the previous life, Disney's stock price fell to the bottom.
The lowest reached 20 dollars, just like other unlucky ones.
But just after Disney acquired Marvel, Disney's stock price rose sharply as Marvel's movies made money all over the world.
When Xiao Qi was reincarnated, Disney's stock price had soared to nearly 70 US dollars, and I believe it will rise further in the future, and it is no exaggeration to reach 100 US dollars.
But it's not going to work now. Without the help of Marvel, Disney will certainly recover, but it's impossible to regain the ferocious momentum of the previous life.
However, even so, Xiao Qi feels that Disney is still worth investing in. This kind of entertainment giant with a strong foundation, integrating TV, movies, amusement parks, publishing, manufacturing...etc., will always be the focus of people , It is much more convenient to develop forever than other companies.
Moreover, after Dicini's shares are bought, they will also be in Little Taylor's name.
There is no other reason. Among Xiao Qi's wives, only this delicate and cute girl is Caucasian. She is actually relatively lonely, and her descendants will also be a little lonely.
Although European and American Caucasians have thick nerves that are unique to them, they will not worry so easily in the meeting, but Xiao Qi needs to think more about his wife and children and grandchildren here.
It is true that the young man is a little sentimental, but he is also absolutely responsible. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why the wives follow him wholeheartedly.
