414 Back to Xiangjiang

The salary negotiation is very simple, Xu Zhi gave twice the salary of Paramount of Mike Eisner's original company, and at the same time, if Disney turns a profit, it will also give a batch of bonus rewards, and others, such as houses and cars, are naturally matched according to high standards.

These may be a lot of wealth for individuals, but for top entertainment giants like Disney, they are just a drop in the bucket, as long as Mike Eisner can manage this giant elephant well, then everything given can get a hundredfold return.

On the other hand, Mike Eisner is still the vice president of Paramount after all, and even if he wants to change to a new job, it will take a while to hand over the original job.

During this period, in addition to preparing for the filming of "Beauty and the Beast", the business of other departments was required to operate normally as before, and it was enough to maintain the same.

The end of Disney's acquisition also left a boulder on Xu Zhi's psychology.

On August 18, Xu Zhi took a private jet and returned to Xiangjiang.

The merger and acquisition, together with subsequent contacts with Disney's top management, took more than a month or so.

This kind of speed is also extremely rare in the history of world business, the reason is very simple, as the existence of a golden finger, Xu Zhi was bound to Disney from the beginning, in order to prevent any accidents from causing the acquisition to fail, he did whatever it took to complete the acquisition.

In other commercial acquisitions, the acquirer sets the value of the acquired party at the beginning of the acquisition, and at the same time does not have to worry about political factors, so the acquisition is naturally prone to fall into a long-term tug-of-war.

For Xu Zhi, it is as fast as a roller coaster, but it is not very friendly to the whole Xiangjiang.

The richest man in Xiangjiang spent more than 2 billion US dollars to acquire a company in the United States, which naturally attracted the attention of many Xiangjiang media and a large number of ordinary people, and many rumors circulated in the market, saying that the Xu family would become naturalized in the United States and leave Xiangjiang completely.

Affected by this, the Hang Seng Index once again fell below the bottom line of 700.

Several of Xu Zhi's companies have said in public that they have no plans to divest from Hong Kong, but this explanation is obviously not believed by many people, and many people have accelerated the pace of immigration.

In the previous month, Xu Zhi focused on the acquisition of Disney, and now that he has come to his senses, he naturally has to go back and stabilize his base camp.

......

In the conference room on the third floor of the Hutchison Building, hundreds of journalists have already arrived here to wait for the upcoming press conference.

In the past few years, several major companies under Xu Zhi, because Hutchison Whampoa is a listed company, often hold some press conferences, the main content of which is generally the company's investment plan, income, development direction and other issues.

Other companies such as Evergrande and Midea are privately owned and have no obligation to release any information to the public, so there are hardly any large-scale press conferences, except for the occasional collaboration with other listed companies, where representatives from Evergrande will appear.

The last time Evergrande was on camera was when the cooperation plan with Landmark Jianing was announced.

And today's scene, it is several major companies under the richest man in Xiangjiang to be held together, including Midea, Evergrande, Hutchison and other companies will appear, and Xu Zhi will also come in person.

This news alone has attracted almost all the media in Hong Kong, countless local newspapers and even overseas media in Japan and Southeast Asia are intent on participating, but the censorship is very strict, and only economic and political journalists are allowed to enter.

Only some influential economic weeklies are allowed to enter the media in Hong Kong, and overseas, only well-known local media companies can pass.

When it comes to the movements of the richest man in Hong Kong, especially in the past month, Xu Zhi's acquisition of Disney has caused fluctuations in the United States, both on the left and on the right, have high expectations for this press conference.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Zhi and his entourage came to the scene, and the press conference officially began.

There were still some "buzzing" sounds at the scene, and many people were still whispering below.

"Everyone, please be quiet for a moment. Lin Wenzhou tried the microphone: "Next, the press conference will officially begin, I will say a few words first, after I finish, you can raise your hand to ask questions, and you can ask a question if you are selected, thank you for your cooperation." ”

Remember that they chattered twice and quieted down, they obeyed the rules of the venue very well, and they would fight for the opportunity to ask questions, but they would not mess up the rules of the scene.

After all, on such a large-scale occasion, once the rules are broken, not only will they offend the owner here, but other large consortia and even government press conferences will not invite them again in the future, and the media company behind the reporter may be affected.

Lin Wenzhou continued: "I invite everyone to come here this time, mainly because my boss Xu Sheng's recent business merger and acquisition in the United States has caused a lot of unnecessary misunderstandings, so I hope to use this press conference to announce the cause and effect of the whole thing through the channels of media friends."

Let me first briefly introduce that the Disney company acquired by my boss Xu Sheng is the largest entertainment company in the United States and even the world, and many people may not have been to Disneyland, but they must have seen the company's most well-known anime works, Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck, etc......

As you may know, in the past year, several of our comic works of Eternal Culture Company have achieved good results in the entire Asian market, but our company has global ambitions, so we hope that through this merger, we can use the channels of Disney to further develop the company's animation business. ”

After Lin Wenzhou finished speaking in one breath, many reporters raised their arms.

"Journalist, you can ask questions. Lin Wenzhou pointed to a female reporter on the left.

The female reporter stood up, took the microphone from the mobile service staff, and asked: "Lin Sheng, Xu Sheng, I am Wang Na, a reporter from Ta Kung Pao's Economic Weekly.

We can understand that Changxing Culture wants to enter the European and American markets, but there are many ways to enter the market, whether it needs to spend tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars to acquire a giant company in the United States. Many Japanese manga companies have also entered the U.S. market, but they haven't acquired any companies, just partnered with local distribution companies.

At present, the situation in Xiangjiang is very clear to all discerning people, Xu Sheng, is there any suspicion of divestment in such a cross-border acquisition during this time period?"

I'll answer that. Xu Zhi smiled and greeted, and said: "Before answering this reporter's question, I said a small thing, a few months ago, Tianshui Wai was greatly developed, and the water of a lake was pumped out, and a lot of fish were found in it. ”

After speaking, Xu Zhi opened his hands and gestured, leaving a distance of about half a meter.

"This is the biggest fish in the lake. Xu Zhi smiled: "But some time ago, I took a cruise ship to go fishing, but I found that any one in the sea was much bigger, Miss Wang Na, can you tell me why?"
