Luen Mei Film Company was founded in 1919, one of the four founders was the famous Chaplin, and later gradually developed into one of the eight major companies that controlled the production and distribution of American films, but in the fifties, the American film industry entered a period of depression and recession, and the company's shares were sold by the founders to Wall Street financial investment companies, after which Luen Mei changed hands several times, and finally merged into MGM in 81, well, it is the one with a lion's roar at the beginning of the film, and MGM was also renamed MGM Luen Mei Entertainment Company.

Now it has only been three years since MGM acquired Luen Mei, and they are willing to sell, and whether it is Luen Mei or Columbia, they are Hollywood's top companies for a while, but they were acquired by EO Pictures in just a few days, Oliver is going to make trouble.

Chen Dahe stretched out his hand to wipe his face, walked to the sofa and sat down, beckoned Xu Xiaoming to sit over, and then said, "You tell me everything you know, it is related to entertainment media." ”

Colombia spent 1.45 billion, although this United States has changed hands several times, and the film resource library is not as much as Columbia, it should be cheaper, but the cost must be a lot, the key is that there is no need, these two acquisitions obviously overlap, one is enough to support EO Pictures to become one of the seven, what is the acquisition of two for? Become the first in Hollywood?

This time, Chen Dahe was a little confused about Oliver's thoughts.

"Okay," Xu Xiaoming walked over and sat down, sorted out his thoughts a little, and then said, "As far as I know, EO Group's layout in entertainment and media is almost exactly the same as that of Xiangjiang, but the scale is many times larger, and the business organization is more complex. ”

"Exactly the same?" Chen Dahe was stunned and looked at him hesitantly, "You mean, there is also a TV station over there?"

On the Xiangjiang side, the layout of the Phoenix system is a trinity, TV stations, movies and records, and other cultural brokerage businesses are still under the name of Jones & Co., and they are not included.

"Yes," Xu Xiaoming nodded, EO radio and television network is the main TV broadcasting business, last year was only in a few large cities in the United States to open directly affiliated TV stations and radio stations, mainly to provide all kinds of news services, but for some reason, from about four months ago, EO media began to launch a large-scale foreign acquisition, so far has completed the wholly-owned acquisition of more than 20 city TV stations, become EO's direct TV station, and more than 200 TV stations to inject capital, making it a subsidiary TV station, at the same time, also targeted for some TV stations that only provide TV signal services to increase broadcasting equipment, so that the business form is more comprehensive, coverage is wider, and, These TV stations are all acquired and digested, and all programs are broadcast uniformly at the specified time, so EO is in fact a national television network company in the United States, despite this, listening to Mr. Chen, who is still in the United States, oh, that is, Jianxun, he said that this acquisition has not completely stopped, if the acquisition is officially completed, EO Radio and Television Network is very likely to become the largest radio and television network company in North America. ”

Chen Dahe scratched his forehead with a tangled face, he already thought of Oliver very outrageously, but he didn't expect her to play more outrageously than he imagined.

The largest radio and television company in North America, well, although it is only nominal, the program, the ratings, and the profit are all ignored, but it is also a force of public opinion that cannot be ignored, what does this girl want to do?

Playing subversive?!

The question is that with such a big plate, can she play with it?!

Phoenix TV, which has only a few channels, is not at the same level as a TV network with twenty or thirty directly affiliated TV stations and more than two hundred affiliated TV stations, and the issues involved are much more complicated.

Seeing that Chen Dahe's face was a little wrong, Xu Xiaoming pursed his lips and stopped talking, but just sighed in his heart, he said so much, will the boss blame himself?

Well, probably not, it's not a secret, she has such a big time in the United States, I don't know how much news there is in the newspapers, as long as you want, you can find out from many places, but it's none of her business.

Calm, you must be calm, understand the situation clearly First, Chen Dahe adjusted the expression on his face, returned to a calm and indifferent appearance, and asked, "After acquiring so many TV stations and forming a radio and television network, have you formulated the next development plan?"

"Yes," Xu Xiaoming's spirit was inexplicably shocked, and his eyes showed admiration, "Although this acquisition is large and wide-ranging, it is also very well prepared, I heard that the reform and program production of TV stations have begun now, and it is generally the same as Phoenix TV, which is divided into sub-channels according to program categories, including news, TV, movies, variety shows, people's livelihood, culture and so on, but the investment and scale are much larger, and according to the different local conditions, the programs will be different, oh yes, one of the purposes of the acquisition of Columbia and United States is to have their film library, which can be directly transferred to the TV station for broadcast, and also cooperate with many outside institutions, the most powerful is the cooperation with the New York Times Group in information collection, EO provides equipment and some personnel, and digs deep on the basis of the original channels and personnel of the New York Times, and solves the problem of information collection at once。 ”

Chen Dahe's eyes showed a hint of playfulness, the intensity was wide and wide, such a big deal was well prepared, the most interesting thing was the launch time, just when he and the American consortium reconciled and started to cooperate, it seems that Oliver's move was not impulsive, but premeditated, just when the time comes, it will be thunderous.

It's just that EO Group has so much cash to back up to launch a takeover war?

Thinking of it, Chen Dahe looked at Xu Xiaoming and asked, "How much is the total amount of the acquisition announced?"

"This is not carefully calculated," Xu Xiaoming thought for a while, "It is roughly estimated that it should be around seven billion US dollars, of which two film companies account for a small half." ”

Seven billion dollars?

Chen Dahe glared, "It's all a cash acquisition?

"It seems that I have found a financier," Xu Xiaoming also felt a little dazed, "I heard that it is still a bank in Europe, and the name is quite strange,"

The names of European banks are strange? Chen Dahe suddenly had a bad premonition.

Sure enough, the next thing I heard from Xu Xiaoming's mouth was the word I didn't want to hear,

"It's called the Third International Bank. ”

A mouthful of old blood......

Chen Dahe felt that half of the red was lost in an instant, how could Jerome dare to put such a large amount of money on a customer at a time? It's really easy for Lao Tzu to make some money.

Struggling to cheer up, Chen Dahe asked with the last bit of expectation, "These seven billion are all given by a bank?"

"Oh, that's not it," Xu Xiaoming shook his head, "Which bank dares to lend so much money to a customer at one time? It is a banking group led by the Third International Bank, including the loans of several investment funds that are jointly put together, and the guarantee of the EO Group is also added, and finally a credit line of 10 billion US dollars is given, but the Third International Bank also accounts for the majority, plus several funds under it, a total of 30% of the share, listening to Jianxun's meaning, it seems that Miss Jones will not end until the money is spent. ”

As he spoke, Xu Xiaoming was also excited in his heart, 10 billion US dollars, nearly 80 billion Xiangjiang coins, let alone buying one street in Xiangjiang, ten streets are enough, and the result was that Miss Jones waved her hand and spread it out like this, and the investment queen really deserved her name!
