Chapter 1345 Real Business War
Text Chapter 1345: Real Business War
"Dame, I choose to trust you this time, don't let me down."
Damon Dash and his girlfriend Alia were inseparable and filled the banquet hall looking for someone, while Song Ya and Sloan were blocked halfway.
If Damon Dash wants to sell alcohol, then let him sell alcohol. After all, the last time he promised to give him the distribution rights of Gray Goose Vodka in the New York area, he reneged on his promise, and Damon Dash knows a lot of jazzy secrets. I don't want to betray my brother too hard, don't worry. Song Ya raised her wine glass gracefully and asked, "When are you leaving for France?"
Damon Dash has been researching the wine business these years. Although he was squeezed out by the president of A+ Liquor Industry, Riser, and the two high-level old men dug from Seagram, he still has private interest in Gray Goose Vodka in the high-end market all these years. The disastrous defeat to the French tricolor vodka has summed up a lot of experience and lessons, at least in front of Song Ya.
He believes that high-end wine must be produced in France. The French have a way of playing luxury goods, and their powerful rivals, the British and American culture, cannot resist it, let alone others.
He also inquired that a wine merchant in the Champagne producing area had encountered operational difficulties. The Cattier family's Clos du Moulin winery, the product is called Cartier Champagne, which does not seem to be a top-notch wine in the calculation method of French grades. Chateau, the sales of wine are mediocre, but it is not bad, at least it has a long history, and the style is not bad. He suggested taking it.
Song Ya asked Riise to go to France to negotiate. The Cartier family, who was in trouble, accepted the investment of a+ wine industry and sold 35% of the shares. The two parties will jointly establish a new company to create new high-end champagne.
With only a small amount of money in total, this new company, Song Ya, decided to let Damon Dash take full responsibility to see how good this "smartest nger in Brooklyn" is.
"Leave after the New Year."
Damon Dash is delighted. "I've talked to the French and they'll probably take five years to stock up on enough wine for our new ultra-premium champagne project."
"Wow, five years..."
Song Ya lamented that the investment return period of traditional industries is too long, and Damon Dash wholeheartedly wants to do it as a career, but he can only treat it as a game for himself.
A+ Liquor currently has a large stall, but the situation is very embarrassing. The sales channel of Gray Goose Vodka is in the hands of the rich three generations of Seagram Liquor, and other wines can only be sold in China. If the project can't be done again, he plans to just sell it. It's time-consuming and labor-intensive.
The victor of the brutal commercial competition, the French tricolor vodka, once inquired about the price. Business is business. Song Ya is willing to admit that he lost in a battle with real swords and guns. If he sells it to them, he will sell it. manage."
"Thank you aplus."
Damon Dash had a lot of face in front of Aaliyah and was very satisfied. He leaned over and whispered, "I will get my share ready as soon as possible."
In the new company, Song Ya let him take some shares, but he has no money to pay now. The bulk of his net worth is the shares of roc-a-records, which he partnered with jazzy.
It shouldn't be difficult for Aaliyah to come up with the money, but he doesn't want to ask his girlfriend for it.
"It's okay, I'll say hello to Riise and ask a+ Liquor to advance the funds to start the project, as long as your funds are in place before the deadline."
Song Ya was anxious to get out of the way with Sloan, and was easy to talk to, "Let's talk later, dame, goodbye, Aaliyah." He said goodbye to the two in a graceful manner.
In France, Bronfman Jr., who is equally personable, also just finished a banquet, and he sent his father back to the holiday villa.
"call……"
The business was finally close to being negotiated, and the ass was about to be wiped. Old Bronfman let out a long sigh of relief in the car, and then warned his precious son earnestly: "It's not easy for Messier of Vivendi to reach a deal. Thirty-one After signing the number, you should also take a vacation, and review the gains and losses of the past few years..."
"32 billion, I think the price is still negotiable,
Messier's predecessor was involved in the scandal of illegal donations to French political parties, so he changed the name of the water company to Vivendi, didn't he? He has made great efforts to expand in the media industry, the Canal TV network in France, the game company in the United States..."
Bronfman Jr.’s transaction price is still not satisfied. If it is calculated at 32 billion, his own ranking on the rich list next year will go backwards, which is a bit unacceptable. The most important thing is that after Seagram Global Group It's someone else's...
He looked out of the car window, where the three major executives under his management, Ron Meyer from Universal Pictures, Doug Morris from Universal Music, and the president of Seagram Liquor, were respectfully shaking hands with Messier who was delivered to the door.
"Look, the dog has found a new owner and is wagging its tail." He sneered and complained to his old father.
"Let's drive."
The old man ignored him and ordered the driver to drive.
He looked out of the car angrily, in a daze, Ron Meyer, the Anna and the King movie at the end of the year failed miserably at the box office, especially when it lost to Leng Shan invested by Nger... It's all his fault, he was the one who insisted on competing with aplus for the project Yes, now are you still willing to show your loyalty to the future new owner Messier?
"Tomorrow Seagram Global Group will formally sign relevant documents with France's Vivendi. The industry expects another shocking merger and acquisition in 1999 to involve a transaction amount as high as 3.2 to 34 billion knives. Wang Di paid part of the way of cash and stock to complete. '
On December 30th, Song Ya saw the news flash at his ex-wife's house.
finally come!
Everything, everything is ready, but it is not the time to launch it, because this transaction has yet to be reviewed and approved by the governments of Mi and France, and it will not be officially completed until the middle of two thousand years at the earliest.
He told Sloan that day that he shouldn't be entangled with the third generation of crazy rich, and that he should invest all his money in the Internet industry, but who can refuse to taste the sweetness of revenge? He had been waiting for the last moment for a long time, and his crying to Sloan was just a momentary emotional impulse. In fact, he had already entrusted most of the income from records, movies and his companies in 1999 to relevant securities companies to start keeping a low profile. Step by step to build a position in the listed company Vivendi.
Shame, still let the Bronfmans escape with some cash...
"Hmph..." Mariah Carey appeared behind him.
"Didn't you accept the commercial performance during the New Year's Eve?" Song Ya asked casually.
"No, it's all your fault that Times Square won't invite me during the New Year's Eve." The ex-wife really groaned and expressed her dissatisfaction over this matter.
"That's their loss." Song Ya responded.
"Well." The ex-wife asked instead: "Mr. Philip Anschutz wants to buy half of this place, and he quoted me 120 million, what do you think?"
"where?"
"Here, Bedford Hills." The ex-wife pointed out the window and showed off. "He wants to buy twenty acres over there and be my neighbor."
"If you don't lack money, don't sell it. Now such a large real estate around New York is very tight." Song Ya thought for a while and suggested, "It will go up again."
"Oh." Of course the ex-wife is not short of money, so she should have listened.
Anschutz...
At the beginning of 1997, when Anschutz and himself visited China, their net worth was only more than two billion yuan. In 1999, Fujibi ranked him sixth with a net worth of 16.5 billion yuan. His wealth has grown so much. Soon it is not based on performances, sports game brokerage or league, venue management income, at least the main reason is not.
Anschutz relied on this wave of real estate speculation that accompanied the big bull market, and his wealth soared all the way. Unlike the last wave of book nouveau riche who liked impressionist paintings, especially Van Gogh, the new rich in Silicon Valley's technology industry prefer abstraction Pai, this year the American abstract master Jackson Pollock’s paintings have been sold for tens of millions or even tens of millions of dollars. Although David Geffen has a rich collection of artworks, it is a pity that he has not caught up with this wave of abstract art.
Anschutz also accurately grasped the taste of this group of people for real estate and made a fortune.
Guys who can take off in the wind have their own unique ways to make money!
Speaking of which, buying land and building a house here seemed to be Motura's idea back then, planning to partner with her to buy land and build a house here to get married?
In the past ten years, the value of this place has increased by exactly ten times. Motura's real estate investment taste and vision are also very good, at least better than his own. How much does the Highland Park he picked appreciate? The point is that the economy in Chicago these years is really hard to describe...
Fortunately, I was mixed up by myself hehe...
Thinking of this, Song Ya turned around and sat down on the horse, hugging her ex-wife a princess.
"Give him medicine again?" At this time, Bronfman Jr. deliberately passed by his father's door, just in time to bump into the nurse holding the medicine.
"Well, his blood pressure is a bit high today." The nurse replied.
"Everyone is under a lot of pressure recently, let me do it." Bronfman Jr. sent the nurse away, replaced the white pills in the tray with the ones that had been prepared before pushing the door open.
"Little Edgar."
The old man did not suspect him, sat up from the bed, and swallowed the pills with water, "After tomorrow's business is done, let's plan the use of that cash together, and we can no longer be in such a hurry as when we bought Universal."
"I'm sorry, Father." Bronfman put the pillow on his back again, this time apologizing from the bottom of his heart.
"I don't blame you, that's our mutual decision, it's good to be able to get away. I'm very pleased that you have performed very well recently..."
The father and son were chatting, the old man's eyelids began to fight, and soon he fell asleep with his head tilted on the pillow.
Little Bronfman stretched out his hand and tried to push, then covered the old father with a quilt, and walked out quickly.
"Where's your father, boss? Didn't he come?"
When preparing for the signing ceremony in the morning, Doug Morris did not see the old Bronfman and asked unexpectedly.
"He's not feeling well," Bronfman Jr. replied, "Mr. Messier, shall we talk again?"
"Okay." Messier seemed to have expected it, and smiled and led him into another meeting room.
"Impossible, on such an important occasion."
Doug Morris, Ron Meyer and others looked at each other. The president of Seagram Wines took out his phone and called back to the holiday villa. The response he got was that the old Mr. Bronfman was still sleeping and he was inconvenient to be disturbed.
Since the transaction involves the entire family, Bronfman Jr. is excluded from the specific management power today. His uncle and his uncle's son, that is, his cousin, are all there. "I'll go and see." After his cousin consulted everyone, He ran out in a hurry and drove all the way to the holiday villa.
"I want to see him!" The door has been heavily deployed, and the cousin's bodyguards are firmly guarding the door, refusing anyone to enter.
"Let me in!"
He protested loudly outside the door, but to no avail, he had to call back to the venue to report.
"What do you want, little Edgar!"
The Seagram Global Group camp was in chaos, and his uncle rushed into the meeting room where the two had just entered to question.
"We slightly modified the content of the agreement."
Surrounded by lawyers from both sides and Merrill Lynch, Bronfman Jr. proudly showed him the new contract text in his hand, while Messier smiled from the sidelines.
"Mr. Diller! You came just in time!"
Doug Morris and others were like headless chickens, and invited Barry Diller who had just arrived to persuade him.
"Barry, this time I decided not to use cash. If it was simply a share swap and merger, Messier would agree to let me continue to manage the Seagram Global Group for a smooth transition."
Bronfman Jr. only showed face to his teacher, pulled Barry Diller aside, and said in a low voice excitedly: "This is good for you and me! Messier is a professional manager with great ambition and talent. You can see it too, don’t you? In this way, we join forces, just like how Guber and Peters of Columbia Pictures partnered to deal with the book, and we can operate well during the transition period, emptying out the money of the French! Let Vivendi become Sony back then, they had nothing to do with us in America!"
Barry Diller was also stunned by the shock and could only respond with 'Wow'.
"Isn't it? Think about it, such as the repurchase agreement between your Global Television Network and Seagram Global Group!" Little Bronfman said, pointing his index finger at his brain with glowing eyes.
"Smart idea..."
Barry Diller's mind finally began to turn rapidly. He doesn't care anyway, and the benefits are all in the future buyback. Besides, he is too lazy to persuade the rich third generation in front of him. "Of course it's good, but how are you going to convince people outside?"
"No need to persuade, they have no right to stop me!"
Little Bronfman's ambitious eyes flashed: "Those dogs think they can get a new owner? Humph, let me be sad and disappointed after today!"
"Your father...is he okay?" Barry Diller probed.
"Don't worry, just let him sleep for a while."
