Chapter 1890 Grab the First Place!

The entanglement of Warner Brothers has continued like this.

So far, Colauti has been negotiating with them on behalf of the North American branch of Kirin Group for 5 months, but there is still no progress.

They didn’t say no, but they never said it was impossible.

Colauti knew that there was no way to take shortcuts in this matter, so he could only grind slowly.

He initiated many relationships to promote this acquisition.

Yin Jun has already told him that everything is aimed at acquisition, and the rest can be ignored.

Come to think of it, it's impossible for Warner Bros. to offer a price of 3.5 billion US dollars. This is just a slap in the face - your first bid was 80 million, why did you increase the price when I came here? Is there any business ethics in this? ?

Of course, Warner Bros. cannot increase prices indiscriminately because of a bad relationship with the North American branch of Kirin Group. This is very unacceptable in a Western society ruled by law.

Business is business, nothing else is mixed in.

This kind of principle has always been pursued by Westerners, and Warner Bros. is definitely not willing to destroy it.

After all, behind them is the American super giant Warner Group - it is not Time Warner yet, and it will take a few years for the two companies to merge.

Thanks to Colauti's unremitting efforts, many senior executives at Warner Bros. have been bribed by him.

According to them, after such long consideration, Warner Bros. is actually leaning towards selling DC Comics to Yin Jun.

Because they really can't find anything of great value in DC comics.

Moreover, analysts at Warner Bros. believe that Yin Jun’s purchase of DC Comics is likely to use the channels of DC Comics to move his comic empire to the United States.

The United States, a wealthy country, ranks first in everything, including its consumption power!

If "Qilin Weekly" can open up channels in the United States and sell each issue directly, their monthly income will increase by tens of millions of dollars.

Think about it, such a high profit expectation is probably Yin Jun's calculation.

Hearing the news, Yin Jun felt secretly amused.

He had never planned to move Qilin Weekly to the United States.

Except for those comic fans in Asia, comic fans in other places are more accustomed to stand-alone comics, and most of those comics are serialized according to the habits of Easterners, so Yin Jun still needs to consider acclimatization.

Even if there is such an idea, a decision must be made after detailed investigation and water testing.

He had only one purpose in buying DC Comics.

That is to prepare for the future era of special effects, the 3D and IMAX era.

That era is still more than ten or twenty years away, so Warner Bros. doesn't see any signs of breaking out.

In the real past history, Yin Jun did not know whether Warner Bros. had any plans to sell DC Comics.

But Yin Jun knew that in 1989, Tim Burton directed "Batman 2", which not only received a huge reputation, but also grossed US$410 million at the global box office, making Warner Bros. a huge profit. From then on, Warner Bros. never looked back. Nothing has ever been said about DC Comics.

And this year, in May, two months later, "Batman 1" will be released.

Now Warner Bros. is still stalling. Is it because they want to wait until the movie is released to see the effect before making a final decision?

In this case, they made the wrong calculation!

"Batman 1" was not a success, at least in Yin Jun's memory, it was very ordinary and a bit unknown.

I believe that if the results come out, the battered Warner Bros. will give up the last bit of unrealistic fantasy and sell DC Comics to Yin Jun!

This is also Yin Jun's good luck. If what is waiting for release now is Tim Burton's version of "Batman 2", which is known as a masterpiece, then this business is really unthinkable.

…

"No way, Master Jun, you are too famous. They sold the company to you, which already has a shadow." Colauti sighed a little when talking about this.

But at the same time, he also admired him very much, "I'm not bragging. As long as you list any company of the Kirin Group now, the IPO valuation can be calculated using 50 to 100 times the turnover. The stock does not need to be listed. It can be directly Then all the crazy institutional investors can snatch it up."

"You're so ridiculous." Yin Jun laughed.

"Forget about the companies of the Kirin Group," Colauti said, "As long as you announce which company you are optimistic about and which company you are ready to invest in, the stock of this company will definitely soar!"

"It's not that magical, right?" Yin Jun shook his head.

This kind of courtesy for nothing is either adultery or theft.

Colauti's flattering words came one after another, maybe he had some intention?

"How could it not be?" Colauti gave an example, "Look at the Nike shares you bought a few years ago, and now your New York Kirin team has set off a youth storm. It's getting better and better. It's already the top four in the Eastern Conference. It's stable. Definitely going to play in the finals... Nike has taken this group of geniuses under its wing. How much has its stock risen?

I remember that you purchased Nike shares in September 1982, right? The price at that time was US$500 million to buy 20%! Now look at it, these shares have reached more than one billion US dollars, right? It has skyrocketed by about 300% in more than two years. Isn’t this a talent for investing? I think if you become a fund manager, you will definitely manage the largest fund in the world. "

Yin Jun didn't find it funny, "Colauti, we are good friends. Are you a little excited today? Tell me, why are you praising me so hard? Is there someone who wants to buy shares in Nike? ?”

"Do you want to sell?" Colauti said energetically, "If you want to sell, I will find a buyer for you. But don't buy it now. After entering the finals, the whole country will pay attention to the New York Kirin team. Then sell it. , is the best time!”

"If the market value is less than 10 billion, why should I sell it?" Yin Jun said seriously, "If the market value is less than 100 billion, I won't even consider selling it."

Colauti was shocked.

He hesitated for a long time, not daring to praise Yin Jun's vision.

Is it possible for Nike to reach a market value of US$100 billion? How much do the largest companies in the United States, such as Wal-Mart, General Electric, and American Telegraph and Telephone Company, cost today! ?

Yin Jun ignored him.

Nike's future market value will really exceed 100 billion US dollars.

It's just that Yin Jun has already given the Nike shares to Zhao Yazhi and his second daughter Yin Lian'er. From now on, it will be enough for them to receive dividends and dividends every year, so why do they need to sell them?

The atmosphere was awkward for a moment, and Colauti returned to smiling.

"Actually, I want to tell you about Microsoft's preparations to go public." Colauti was honest this time and directly stated the purpose.

"Really? Have you all received the news?" Yin Jun said without surprise.

"This is the world's largest IPO in the past ten years. How could we not know about it?" Colauti said with a slight exaggeration, "We all know that as soon as Microsoft goes public, it will immediately create three 300 million A rich man with a dollar level or above! This will be a record-breaking listing on Nasdaq, and a great miracle that everyone is about to witness!"

"300 million level?" Yin Jun didn't believe it. "Your valuation of Microsoft is that high? Are you afraid of losing it?"

"How is it possible to smash it?" Colauti's words were full of confidence, "As long as we leave it to Goldman Sachs to do the issuance, we guarantee that after Microsoft goes public, the market value will exceed 1.5 billion US dollars, or even higher!"

Yin Jun took a deep breath when he heard this.

In the previous life, Microsoft was also listed in 1986. At that time, it was valued at almost 400 million U.S. dollars. The market value on the first day of listing was only 520 million U.S. dollars. Bill Gates, who owned 45% of the shares, became the youngest billionaire in the United States. , but it’s only US$234 million.

What is the situation now?

Microsoft's valuation has actually increased by more than three times compared to its previous life! ?

But when I think about it, this is reasonable.

In the previous life of Microsoft, by the time they went on the market, there was no WIN84, and there was no World Wide Web to promote the development of computers so far in advance. There was no search bar, and there was no help from office software.

The advancement of various technological software functions has caused Microsoft's market value to soar again and again.

Then Yin Jun came back with a big move.

That was the crazy sales of Kirin computers, each of which was bundled with Microsoft's Windows system. This led to a substantial increase in Microsoft's sales, thus gaining the favor of investors.

It is no exaggeration to say that Yin Jun is largely responsible for Microsoft's soaring valuation.

For a moment, the young man's heart was filled with pride.

What he remembers is that the listing of Microsoft in his previous life was handled by Goldman Sachs.

But looking at Colauti's appearance, it seemed that things were a little twisty.

I asked Colauti casually, and he nodded sheepishly, "Yes, Mr. Gates was worried that we wouldn't be able to take such a big order, so they also approached Merrill Lynch and Citibank to see if there were three. Do it together, or do it as two companies. Mr. Gates thinks this is the safest way."

After a pause, he added, "We at Goldman Sachs have never operated such a large-scale IPO before, but please also believe that we have the most professional capabilities and can definitely complete this great task alone!"

Yin Jun understood it immediately.

For Goldman Sachs, making money by selling IPO stocks is one thing, but more importantly, doing the largest IPO in history will play a huge role in improving their reputation.

Being able to be the world's number one IPO will prove that Goldman Sachs is the world's number one investment bank. This will also provide a good reference for subsequent companies that want to IPO.

From now on, everyone will definitely feel that Goldman Sachs is more trustworthy, and they will give more priority to Goldman Sachs.

There are so many potential benefits!

Thinking of this, Yin Jun nodded slightly, "Then let's have a good talk!"

Now that Goldman Sachs has eagerly joined in, if you don't open your mouth to get more benefits, I really feel sorry for their enthusiasm!
