Chapter 1304 Recalcitrant Plan, Goal Achieved
As the CEO assistant of Twentieth Century Fox, this talking young man can definitely be regarded as a character who can see all directions and listen to all directions. Because this is Hollywood, news from the entire United States is circulating here all the time.
The news that comes out of the mouths of celebrities, reporters, and paparazzi can always flow into the hands of people like him under the gathering of a caring person. And it is precisely because they have this ability that they can hear about everything when it just happened, and bring everything they hear to their boss. And upon hearing such rumors, Fox's CEO was totally in the dark.
You know, just a moment ago they were still calculating how to use their Chinese friends to reduce the losses they suffered, but now, their Chinese friends will suddenly become their immediate boss, which really makes him have a feeling in his heart A feeling of being unacceptable. So immediately, he screamed at everyone like a little woman.
"The king of Yida? Are you right? How could it be him? I mean, there's no way he could have done this! He can't have that much cash in his hand, and there's no reason at all from the head office." It is right to accept his offer."
"In fact, there are, sir. The financial statements of the head office have not been optimistic for several quarters. And you should also know that the current stock market in the United States is in turmoil, and the properties of many shareholders have been affected to a certain extent. In such a Under the circumstances, they may not continue to cling to the stocks in their hands, if there is a good price, they will definitely be happy to sell to others."
As a professional assistant, he certainly gave his boss the most professional analysis. Faced with such an analysis, his boss immediately yelled with a bad face.
"Even so, why is Wang doing this thing? You don't know the assets of the head office. He doesn't have that much capital to buy them. He must be crazy to do such a thing, isn't it? Isn't he afraid that he will lose everything?"
"According to my channel, Yida has borrowed 200 billion RMB from ICBC. Judging from the current RMB exchange rate, he already has the ability to fully acquire the parent company 21st Century Fox. Dare to propose at this time? The premium acquisition shows that he must have full confidence now. Therefore, BOSS, it is difficult for us to be sure whether the head office will agree. After all, News Corporation is not doing well now, and the fall of the UK has caused heavy losses to the head office. In order to make up for Shareholders will definitely have ideas about these losses."
"These shitty shareholders, don't they have other ideas besides money?" After taking a few puffs of cigar, the CEO's face began to look worried. He can be regarded as the confidant of the CEO of the parent company, otherwise it would be impossible to sit in this position so securely. But now, even the people under him have heard such rumors, but he doesn't know anything about it. This obviously means that the board of directors has left the management behind.
He knows very well
Management will definitely reject this acquisition. Because they definitely don't want a foreigner, especially a Chinese, to control everything about them. However, if the board of directors unilaterally abandons the management, then even if the management has any ideas, it is absolutely impossible to reverse the overall situation.
In the final analysis, the management is just a pony who works for the board of directors. Just like him, don't look at him, he can command the wind and rain in Hollywood. But as long as there is something wrong, for example, a certain big production he is leading hits the street, then the next moment, he may be replaced by the parent company, and he will leave in embarrassment with the termination fee.
This is the tragedy of all managers. There is a difference between working for yourself and working for someone else. And it is precisely because of such a difference that the CEO of Twentieth Century Fox has refused such a thing since he heard the news.
Anyone who sits in his position will regard stability as the focus of his work. But now, the intrusion of the richest man obviously disrupted all his plans, and this naturally made him feel deeply malicious towards the richest man's actions.
"Gentlemen, we can't let that Chinese do this. We can't let our board of directors just sell us out to a foreigner. You know, we used our project to get a lot of money from them. You know what will happen if you let them become the top BOSS on our heads. Besides, Chinese boss? This kind of existence makes people feel unreliable. If it really makes him successful, then I'm not sure You can still sit where you are now."
"So, what do you mean?" Not only one person is worried about such a question, many people have similar thoughts in their hearts. So when the CEO said that, they immediately looked at each other and put their eyes on him.
Looking at the eyes of these people, the CEO certainly knew what was in their hearts. Obviously, they are already planning to follow their lead. And this is exactly what he wanted, so immediately, he cleared his throat and said seriously.
"I'm going to talk to Mr. Wharton, the CEO of the head office, and have a good talk about it, but while I'm talking to him, I need you to do something. I need you to spread the word to the whole company. , I want you to encourage everyone to reject the king of Yida to enter our head office. No matter what you do, even if you say that his arrival will cut off a large number of ethnic minorities, in a word, I want you Put all the people together and sign a letter of protest against the actions of the board, get it?"
"Yes, sir, we promise. We'll take care of everything in the shortest possible time."
Making things happen is definitely the specialty of those in the entertainment industry, so someone quickly responded confidently. Faced with such a reply, the CEO immediately raised his butt and trotted outside without stopping. At this time, it doesn't matter whether you are graceful or not. The most important thing now is that he must mess things up, or they will all be finished.
It's not just his idea, it's everyone's. It can be said that the meeting room became a mess in an instant, and almost everyone became busy. They contacted those stars, those producers, and those TV station employees one after another, asking them to respond to their call to resist the entry of this foreign capital.
While they were working so hard, Yida's richest man Wang had already completed the final negotiations with the shareholders of 21st Century Fox, and they shook hands in a harmonious atmosphere.
"Congratulations, everyone. You have made a very good deal. I believe that you will not have any regrets about today's deal."
"Of course, of course. We also believe that under the leadership of Mr. Wang, 21st Century Fox can usher in a new leap forward."
It is of course impossible for shareholders to say anything nasty when they have obtained the real value of cash at a considerable premium above the market price. In the final analysis, this is a transaction. For the shareholders of 21st Century Fox, they obviously sold their things at a good price, so it is completely reasonable to praise this financial backer. matter.
But upon hearing such words, the richest man frowned and laughed.
"I also believe so firmly. Otherwise, I wouldn't fly here overnight. But I didn't expect that things would go so smoothly. It seems that the situation in the United States is much more serious than I imagined ah."
Having successfully achieved his goal, the richest man Wang is naturally complacent when speaking. Faced with his unceremonious tone, the directors, who had long been accustomed to the restrained style of the Chinese people, felt a little uncomfortable in an instant. However, it doesn't matter if they don't adapt at this time. Because 21st Century Fox has changed its name. They have nothing to do with Fox now, and they are able to stand here and talk to the richest man because of the face given to them by the richest man. So at the moment, they can only smile and respond to Wang's richest man.
And looking at the faces of these capitalists who always put on a superior look in the past, Wang Shoufu also sneered in his heart. As the saying goes, thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi. Back then, they used their advantages in international status to suppress themselves in every possible way, and even once blocked their plans to enter Hollywood. As a result, until now, they have not obediently opened the door to Hollywood for themselves.
And it's not just Hollywood, the entire American news media has embraced him. At this time, he is fully capable of being called an American news tycoon. Thinking about it, as long as this news is announced, it will definitely fall through the glasses of many people.
Although the richest man was full of disdain for these American capitalists at this time, on the surface, he still showed enough kindness.
"The rest of the matter, I would like to trouble everyone to make an announcement to inform the company's management on behalf of the former board of directors and tell them that the handover of the board of directors has been completed. In addition, I have already booked the Hilton Hotel today. I believe you should give me face , welcome to come."
"Of course, of course." The directors have no reason to refuse, and they are not qualified to refuse. Including the successors of the former News Corporation, the Murdoch family all responded to Wang's richest man's invitation again and again. And just as they were chatting happily like this, an assistant suddenly broke in and yelled at them.
"Sir, it's bad. The top management, led by the CEO, came over and asked the board to listen to them and reject this acquisition!"
