Chapter 2468 Commercial Support Football

But Schwarzman thought about it again, and felt that this entrusted acquisition would definitely benefit the Blackstone Group a lot.

First of all, Xiao Qi is absolutely generous to his collaborators.

For example, in the previous acquisition of Marvel, the total transaction price was only 4.5 billion US dollars, and Xiao Qi directly gave Goldman Sachs a commission of 500 million US dollars. I don’t know how many investment banks are salivating.

Marvel is nothing, but Blackstone helped Xiao Qi acquire Skype at a purchase price of 2.8 billion US dollars, and Xiao Qi gave Blackstone a commission of 400 million US dollars, which is even more enviable.

Disney is much bigger than the two companies mentioned above. Not to mention the significant increase in the purchase price, the meaning is completely different.

If Blackstone Group completes this acquisition entrustment, at least it can get a commission of 1 billion US dollars, even 1.5 billion commissions are possible. Such a large profit can completely stabilize the confidence of investors and prevent them from withdrawing their capital. .

And if this transaction is successful, it will once again make the Blackstone Group famous and make them the number one investment advisory company in the world in people's eyes.

"I'll discuss it with Peter, and I'll give you an answer within three days." Although Schwartzman had an inclination in his heart for such an important matter, he still didn't immediately agree.

"it is good."

Xiao Qi smiled and hung up the phone.

He knew that with the personalities of the two founders of the Blackstone Group, they would definitely take over this business.

It's not that Xiao Qi can't find other brokers, such as Citibank, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, etc., all have the strength to complete this task entrustment.

But the problem is that Disney's shares are too scattered, and many of the owners are rich and famous, and these people usually cannot be moved by money.

If Xiao Qi wanted to complete the entire acquisition in a very amicable manner, he had to do it with the most reputable company in the brokerage circle, the Blackstone Group. The aggressive approach makes both the acquirer and the acquiree. They are all very satisfied, this reputation is very rare.

Because of the same business. If you ask Goldman Sachs to negotiate, then it is very likely that you will buy it, but those companies and rich people who are forced to sell their shares will yell at you and make you feel very uncomfortable.

Therefore, if possible, choose Blackstone Group. It was Xiao Qi's first choice.

And looking at the current predicament of the Blackstone Group, they really need a hearty victory to increase the confidence of asset management clients, so even if it is very difficult to acquire Disney shares, they will not refuse.

Why did Xiao Qi suddenly become interested in Disney?

At the beginning, he just collected 10% of the Disney stock and gave it to his two celebrity wives. He didn't seem to take it seriously. Why did he suddenly want to control it?

The reason is simple, for Fairy Football Club.

I said it before. It is very difficult for a football club to remain profitable.

There are at least hundreds of well-known top league clubs in the world, but there are definitely no more than 10 that can make a profit. If we talk about making a lot of money, I'm afraid it's just three or five companies. And these are basically in Europe, where business is extremely developed, and there are several in the United States. Basically, Asia, South America, and Africa are unlikely to have profitable top football clubs.

The reason is that football is a money-burning sport, and it was not aimed at making money from the beginning.

Only very sensible clubs, such as German clubs such as Bayern and Dortmund, or Manchester United, whose business development has reached its peak, are qualified to say that they can earn a lot of money.

It is good that the rest of the top clubs can make a small profit. Most of them rely on the support of the backers to maintain or develop.

There are two situations here.

The first is, for example, you have a good big boss. For example, Papa Mo from Inter Milan and Boss Bei from Milan. The Chiefs of Manchester City, Mr. Abramovich of Chelsea, Xu Fuhao of Evergrande... etc., they have money themselves, so they are naturally willing to spend money to play football, get joy or get other extra things.

The other is membership-based football clubs. Usually this kind of club is a symbol of the local area. As long as there is a shortage of money, the members will raise money. The rich members even have millions or tens of millions of dollars without blinking an eye. , Such membership clubs mainly refer to the two giants of Barcelona and Real Madrid.

Especially after entering the new century, these two giants have become even more prosperous, and they have directly surpassed other clubs by many streets, and they seem to be representatives of the world's football giants.

Xiao Qi's choice is naturally one of the previous methods, relying on his own money to support the entire team.

However, there is still a trick to how to support the team.

Simply like Mo Papa, Abu and others, constantly stuffing money to fill the gap in the fiscal deficit is only a temporary solution. If you wait until you have no money or the business is not good, it will be difficult to continue like this.

So Xiao Qi is going to solve this problem by doing business.

That is to find a cornucopia of energy that can continuously provide nutrients for fairy football.

This cornucopia is the various commercial and entertainment facilities on the hundreds of acres of land around the Fairy Football Stadium.

In addition to cinemas, shopping places, hotels, etc., what is more important is that there are things that others cannot replace, such as the Disneyland that Xiao Qi is looking for now.

The Disney parks around the world are actually not as profitable as everyone imagined, and it is even said that many of them are losing money.

But Xiao Qi knew that the scope of losing money would definitely not include the Huaguo region.

Hong Kong Disneyland has been making profits for a long time. Leaving aside this, the mainland of China has a population of 1.5 billion, life has improved, and it has good spending power. The Disney culture has swept the whole of China, so the establishment of Disneyland in China, It is definitely a good business that can make money without losing money.

Dongfang City saw this business opportunity, so it started negotiating with Disney early on. As a result, Disney was too strong and demanded too much, so they negotiated for seven or eight years. Although the groundbreaking was announced in 2011, it was not until Xiao Qi was reincarnated. Before returning, there was no result. It is really amazing that the emperor's daughter is really not worried about marrying.

Xiao Qi wouldn't think that Disney would be willing to settle in the Fairy Football Stadium in Rongcheng because of his own face. These Americans are cheating. If you can't meet their requirements and don't give them the biggest piece of cake, they won't Who will give face.

Although Xiao Qi now has 10% of the shares and can propose construction proposals on the board of directors, he has no way to intervene in the management of the professional managers unless he has a resolution of the board of directors and orders these managers to implement it.

But only when it reaches 50% can it be forced to order, and Xiao Qi and Qiao's leader are only less than 18%.

Therefore, there is only holding, and it is not a 50% holding, but an absolute holding of more than two-thirds of more than 67%. Only in this way can we not be bound by the general meeting of shareholders at any time.

When Xiao Qi becomes the boss of Disney, he can open Disneyland wherever he wants, and no one dares to say anything.

And as long as there is Disneyland on the side of the Fairy Football Stadium, Xiao Qi is sure that in a year, at least 100 million people will enter the park, and it is not news that more than 200 million people will enter the park.

It is conceivable how such a large flow of people will drive the surrounding business opportunities.

And Disneyland is not a small playground. You can do it in Rongcheng, I can do it in Yuzhou, and I can do it in Changsha... This is obviously impossible.

In order to maximize the benefits, it is impossible for Disney to open everywhere. They all have strict standards for how far they need to radiate, and there will never be a situation where they are fighting against themselves.

According to China's national conditions, there may be at most three in the mainland - there are only two in the United States, one in California, one in Florida, not even New York!

In fact, there are only five Disneylands in the world, two in the United States, one in Japan, one in Paris, and one in Hong Kong.

Therefore, if we really want to build three Disneylands in mainland China, only Xiao Qi can promote the industry, otherwise it will be impossible to wait another 50 years.

With a super killer like Disneyland, the tourist population in Chengdu will increase dramatically. Of course, the biggest direct beneficiaries are around the Fairy Football Stadium, and this kind of benefit is not three to five years, ten to eight years, but a long-term If it continues for a long time, at least a hundred years is safe.

Taking 100 years of prosperous surrounding commercial and entertainment facilities to support 100 years of fairy football, such commercial profit support should be enough.

There are three major themed entertainment brands in the world, Disney, Universal Studios, and Universal Carnival. Among them, Universal Carnival has no fixed venue, but a touring mobile entertainment city. Only the remaining Universal Studios is similar to Disney Theme Park.

The most important thing in Universal Studios is the major film technology and project experience halls, such as superb Hollywood technology, such as Harry Potter theme park, such as Jurassic theme park, such as Terminator theme park... Wait, a little popular It's no worse than Disney, and it's even worse in the hearts of young people.

However, Universal Studios is an industry under the giant NBC Universal, and it is not easy to cooperate with them. With Xiao Qi now focusing on Disney, he can only temporarily give up his thoughts on it.

As for whether to cooperate with NBC Universal at that time, or simply buy it again, that is a matter for the future! (to be continued ~^~)
