Chapter 2665: The Sensational Acquisition in the United States (Part 2)

Because of the purchase of Disney shares by the Blackstone Group, it has already paved the way for Xiao Qi's several related departments in the United States.

After sending out U.S. unregistered treasury bonds worth 200 to 300 million U.S. dollars, basically the relevant people in these departments have no opinions.

Even if there are reporters behind or other people making trouble, to them, it is just an additional procedure, and the result will not change.

Xiao Qi asked: "If the privatization starts, how many months will it be completed?"

Swarzman said without hesitation: "People from the Nasdaq market, people from the Ministry of Commerce, people from the Fair Trade Commission...etc., have already taken care of it, and it will take half a year at most, and Disney will It completely belongs to you. But in terms of price, I still can’t get them to lower it, it should be about 150% premium to recover shares.”

"The money should be given, don't get too stuck with them. Allowing them to get full benefits from the Disney deal is also considered a success of our acquisition. Otherwise, we will be the ones who will be in trouble in the end. " Xiao Qi has never been stingy about spending money, and he will give all the money that should be given.

"Yes, many times, as long as you give enough money, many problems will no longer be problems." Schwartzman said, "It's a pity that some people know this truth, but because they are reluctant to part with the money, they end up making trouble. There's more trouble!"

"Those who are speculators are more or less lucky." Xiao Qi smiled slightly and turned to another topic: "The news, public opinion and media have already been discussed?"

"They use money to do things, so they will naturally talk to us, or that argument, why can't Fairy Company do what SONY can do?" Schwarzman said.

"What about the management?" Xiao Qi asked again.

"They don't have many shares in the first place, and you are willing to give them a share dividend, plus an equal cash reward when they leave the company. This is a very generous reward. How can they not do it?" Schwarzman said. "Besides, without the supervision of listed companies, they will do things more smoothly, and they will be happy at work, which is better than anything else."

"There is no supervision from listed companies. It doesn't mean they don't make money." Xiao Qi laughed dumbfounded.

"Don't worry, Disney is definitely making money, especially if you can help them open up a huge market with a population of 1.5 billion. They wish they could work in such a company!" Schwarzman said.

Because we have to consider profit and stability. Many of Disney's strategies are conservative, and the executives have long been impatient.

Now Xiao Qi wants to loosen Disney's shackles and allow them to actively enter the Huaguo market for development, of course they are very happy.

Anyway, no matter whether Xiao Qi buys Disney or not, they are just professional managers, and it is impossible to completely control Disney.

"Compared to Disney, Universal NBC is a bit more difficult." Schwartzman said to Xiao Qi, "General Electric has little interest in Universal NBC, but they suffered heavy losses in the financial crisis. They saw our two Big fund management companies are willing to buy. So sit on the ground and raise the price, and want to sell it at a valuation of 40 billion U.S. dollars.”

"Money is not a problem, the most important thing is that there will be no future troubles." Xiao Qi nodded, "I said, why didn't you and Milner make any progress, so it turned out to be stuck in this place."

"Money is one thing. On the other hand, we still want to slow down the speed as much as possible. Don't let these two acquisitions happen at the same time, which will make many people uneasy." Schwarzman said.

Disney and Universal NBC are both leaders in the American media, film and television industry, if they are acquired by Xiao Qi at the same time. Then it's not just as simple as buying a company. No matter how nervous Americans are, they will think whether Xiao Qi wants to control the American media and film industry.

In addition, Xiao Qi is a Chinese, who came to control the media in the United States. The US government will not agree.

So this matter can only come slowly. Even the matter of the boss behind Universal NBC cannot be truly leaked in three to five years, or seven or eight years. Only when they have taken root can they show their true nature.

Schwartzman had persuaded Xiao Qi before. If Fairy Company purchases the shares of Vivendi Universal Group and transfer them to another fund company, don't let Fairy Company appear on the list of shareholders of Universal NBC.

But Xiao Qi thought about it and still didn't do it.

Fairy Company only holds 20% of the shares of Global NBC on the surface, and is not the controlling major shareholder. At most, the United States is surprised that Xiao Qi likes to buy shares of large companies and groups, and will not be too sensitive.

If you don't have the shares of Universal NBC, it will not be so easy for Universal Paradise to take root in Huaguo - Xiao Qi will keep the remaining 80% of the shares from Huaguo for the time being. Only the relevant partners, Only the top executives of the group and their relatives will know that there is such a fortune.

Thinking back to his eyes, Xiao Qi shook his head and said: "You are right in saying that, then let's continue the negotiation and strive to finish this negotiation next year."

"Okay." Schwartzman said, "I suggest that you can announce that you have bought 20% of Universal NBC's shares around March next year, and then wait until around June before we and DST announce that we have successfully bid for Universal NBC. 80% of the shares."

"Can."

Xiao Qi was very satisfied with this.

The biggest difference between Blackstone Group and other fund management companies is that they not only help you complete acquisitions and transactions, but also put themselves in your shoes and help you do things beautifully to satisfy everyone.

This kind of service attitude is the most important weapon for them to become the world's largest fund management company.

...

Monday, December 1st.

9 a.m. ET, an hour and a half before the Nasdaq opens for winter.

But at this time, the press release hall of the Nasdaq Exchange was full of seats.

A total of more than 100 reporters, standing or sitting crowded in the hall, looked at the few men sitting on the press conference platform.

Sitting in the middle is Lun Xin, the general manager of the North American Laboratory of Fairy Company Mingxiang Holdings. Usually, he is the spokesperson for Fairy Company's actions in North America.

On his left is Carter, the vice chairman of Nasdaq, and on the right is Clooney Green, the CEO of Disney. This battle is a bit delicate.

Coupled with the fact that someone is buying Disney shares for a large sum of money that has been rumored some time ago, everyone feels that there must be big news today.

Sure enough, after Carter's opening remarks, Lensing said with a smile: "I know everyone has been waiting for a long time, so I will say it directly! As of this morning, our Fairy Company has acquired 67.96% of Disney's shares." Shares have reached the minimum standards for privatization and delisting applications stipulated by Nasdaq. At the same time, we have reached a unified understanding of privatization and delisting with the Nasdaq stock market and Disney’s board of directors. Therefore, starting today, Disney The stock will stop trading, and wait for us to discuss the final repurchase price with the shareholder representatives before officially going private and delisting!"

"Wow~~"

The reporters below all surged like a tide.

it is as expected!

Sure enough, Xiao Qi is buying again!

I just didn't expect that this time he extended his magic hand to Disney!

Will the Chinese flag be planted on Disney's castle in the future? !

Everyone's faces were uncertain, but this did not prevent them from immediately raising their hands in unison, wanting to ask questions.

In this regard, American journalists are indeed more qualified. They don't shout and ask questions like a vegetable market, but are very disciplined.

The master of ceremonies who presided over the meeting next to him ordered a reporter, and he immediately got up and said, "I am a reporter from the Los Angeles News. May I ask the general manager of Lensing, why does Fairy Company want to acquire Disney? Do you have sufficient understanding of Disney's future development?" Confidence? Do you have any long-term plans for Disney?"

Ok.

Child care is everywhere, and at press conferences, child care emerges in an endless stream. Five or six out of ten questions are the reporters' own thoughts, which is good, and sometimes even two or three.

Especially on the most critical and important issues, no matter which press conference, it must be raised by the person who made the reservation.

After all, no one wants to screw up their press conference.

So, hearing this question, Lensing smiled slightly, "We are very optimistic about the influence of Disney culture on the world, especially in China, where there are many young people who grew up watching Disney animation. Our Fairy Company bought Disney, It is to make Huaguo culture fully integrated with world culture. And according to the plan of our chairman, within the next ten years, Huaguo will open at least four Disney theme parks, plus many Disney products, movies and other projects , can start business in Huaguo. This is not only a good thing for Huaguo fans, but also a good thing for Disney!"

"But you have turned Disney into a Chinese company. Can the American people enjoy the benefits?" Another reporter stood up and asked after getting consent.

"Of course there are benefits, because Disney's headquarters is still in the United States, and it is still an American company. Not only will our operations in the United States not be reduced, but it will be further increased. We will announce the specific plan in the future." Lensing firmly the way.

"Excuse me……"

"..."

Questions were asked one by one, whether it was Lensing, Green or Carter, they all answered fluently and seemed full of confidence.

Compared with the bustle in the hall, the entire United States where the news has spread has already become a sensation! (~^~)
