396. Acquired TVB
However, in terms of the purchase price, it is not so easy to "negotiate", who makes you the "richest man in the world"? If you don't kill you, you won't be slaughtered in vain.
Even the sixth uncle, an old man who has done a lot of charity in his life, he also has this idea.
In any case, this is a business, not charity, and business is to pursue the maximization of profits.
"The sixth uncle is old, the directors are relatively old, and Shao Gongzi has no intention of taking over", this is a big reason why TVB will be sold.
For the current more than 3,000 full-time employees of TVB, as well as 700 of the signed artists, it will be a good thing if Boss Li can take over TVB, because Boss Li is very "kind" to employees. And last year, Uncle Six personally revealed that TVB's equity tends to be sold to the mainland, without considering selling to Huaxia Baodao or foreign consortia.
Now, TVB's stock has been suspended!
Xiangjiang residents, shareholders and TVB employees all know that "Lanyin wants to acquire TVB" This is already true.
But what did Boss Li do when he bought TVB?
So when the newspaper in Xiangjiang made a special report for the old hooligan, it analyzed:
As the world's largest Chinese-language commercial television station and Chinese-language television program provider, TVB has performed remarkably well in recent years, and last year, TVB's 2001 annual report showed that its turnover and profit have continued to grow over the past five years. However, in 2001, the turnover was less than 3 billion Hong Kong dollars, and the profit was less than 300 million Hong Kong dollars. Moreover, due to the impact of pay TV and the Internet on TVB, the impact on TVB is becoming more and more obvious.
If Boss Li buys TVB, will he go to the mainland to develop? Obviously, it will not work for the time being, because it will be restricted by mainland laws and regulations, and there is also the problem of Cantonese, but this is not a big problem. The big problem is how Boss Li let TVB get the "permit" to enter the mainland of China, and for so many years, TVB has always wanted to do the mainland market, but it has not succeeded.
....
The old hooligan wants to buy TVB, and the vast majority of people in Xiangjiang welcome it. However, for a long time, the Xiangjiang TV market has been controlled by TVB and ATV, but ATV has suffered serious losses in recent years, and TVB has been dominant for many years, so TVB's position in the hearts of Xiangjiang people is very high. Suddenly, there is such an "outsider" who wants to buy it, although many Xiangjiang people welcome him to buy TVB out of "worship" to the old hooligan, they also have "strangeness" in their hearts: Is Xiangjiang starting to decline?
As the new richest man in the world, the old hooligan is also 'very' proud of the residents of Xiangjiang who have been separated from the mainland for more than 100 years, and the old hooligan has given them a sense of national identity.
For Uncle Six, although he is willing to spend his whole life at an "appropriate" price, he is still very concerned about how the old rascal will run TVB.
At present, TVB's revenue is mainly composed of local free-to-air TV advertising, program distribution and distribution, overseas satellite TV and channel business revenue, of which advertising accounts for half, and the economic sensitivity of advertising is very high, and when the economic environment is not good, advertising revenue will inevitably be deeply affected.
Uncle Six is 94 years old, Shaw Brothers holds about 26% of TVB's shares, while Sixth Uncle holds nearly 75% of Shaw Brothers' shares, and in addition, Sixth Uncle also holds another 6.23% of TVB through the Shaw Fund. After Ouyang Ting's Rose Creation secretly 'touched' and 'touched' TVB's scattered shares, TVB's stock price did not fall below 45 Hong Kong dollars.
The market is always prescient, and before TVB's stock was suspended, I don't know which force got the "inside information". made the TVB stock price, which had been between 45 and 50 Hong Kong dollars for a long time, suddenly moved, as if it had been 'excited'.
Wang Zixuan, who was in charge of the acquisition, was very angry, but there was nothing he could do.
Because of this "abnormal movement", in Wang Zixuan's view, it is obviously TVB's own "force".
TVB's "own people" pulled the stock price from 46 Hong Kong dollars to 75 Hong Kong dollars, an increase of 63%, such a "fierce" climb, only happened in 3 minutes, "spent" to TVB less than 1 billion Hong Kong dollars, and made the entire market value soar from 20 billion Hong Kong dollars to more than 32 billion Hong Kong dollars.
With such a surge, of course, the 'exchange' immediately suspended its trading, and then TVB announced the news: it has negotiated the acquisition with Lanyin Investment.
One day in early April, the old hooligan came to Lanyin Investment again;
In the CEO's office, Wang Zixuan was taking over the documents in the hands of her new assistant.
New assistant, 'female', about 80, 24 years old, named Huang Yinghong, graduated from the Department of Finance of Yale University, worked in Lanyin Investment for two years, is considered a "veteran" and worthy of trust.
Seeing the old rascal push the 'door' directly, Pippi in the house suddenly got up from the ground, wagged his tail at the old rascal, and barked happily.
The new assistant didn't have much "style", a 'female' workaholic, respectfully shouted "boss" to the old rascal, and then left with his head slightly bowed.
The old rascal saw that the 'door' was closed, and said to Wang Zixuan: "Your new assistant is okay, but it looks a little stuffy, and she is serious on the surface, but if anyone teases her, it is estimated that she is more crazy than you." ”
Wang Zixuan was so angry that he rolled his beautiful eyes, and said angrily: "What are you doing here? Hmph, isn't that the market value of 30 billion Hong Kong dollars? Run Run Shaw only controls less than 10 billion, 10 billion, which is equivalent to less than 1.4 billion US dollars. ”
The old rascal laughed dumbly: "You loser 'girl', is it so easy to make money when you make money? However, the acquisition of TVB is not for making money in the future, what we earn is popularity and influence." This time, they were obviously sniped, and they came up with a lot of unjust money. ”
"Now some people say that you are wronged, and if you don't kill you, you won't kill you. There are 200 middle-level managers of Lanyin Electronics, with an average of 170,000 shares per capita, and a market value of 80 million yuan, at a price of only 1.7 million. Now there are people on the American side who are gossiping and saying that it is unfair. Wang Zixuan said.
In my ideal, Lanyin Electronics' profit in the next year will reach 30 billion US dollars, more than the sum of the annual profits of the two Microsofts, and the market value of at least 600 billion US dollars can be supported by the bank long-term deposit interest rate of 5%, and one-fifth is 120 billion US dollars, corresponding to the current stock price of 60 US dollars. The old rascal said: "Mr. Gushen, he is more discerning. ”
Wang Zixuan said: "I don't listen to your bragging! Anyway, you have authorized me to acquire TVB, and I want to win this battle." ”
The old rascal shook his head and smiled: "Okay, you're right, it's just a matter of $1.5 billion." Today, there is another thing, Mr. Case, they should be recalled, and several major shareholders of Lanyin Investment's US headquarters agreed to my suggestion, and each took out a part of the funds to form a $6 billion fund to buy Huaxia concept stocks and Apple shares on the NASDAQ, and the employees there should also be expanded. ”
Wang Zixuan nodded and said: "Well, Apple, we have analyzed it recently, and it is more promising, it launched the second-generation iPod player at the beginning of the year, which has a certain effect on the stock price." ”
"Its current market value is only $16 billion, and we can 'spend' one to two years to buy $3 billion in its shares and hold it for a long time," the old rascal said. This year, in addition to the stock price of Lanyin Electronics, other stocks in the NASDAQ market will fall, so take advantage of this year's low level to collect chips. ”
"Well, I've been bullish on Amazon, an e-commerce company in the U.S., lately, and although its stock price has fallen from $110 in '99 to less than $20 now, I believe it will go up. For Lanyin Investment, it is now necessary to invest in long-term growth 'sex' companies. Speculation is too risky after all!" Wang Zixuan said when he saw him squatting down, stroking Pipi.
"Amazon? Well, this company is okay, but since you want to buy it, you have to hold the shares for seven or eight years. You're right, for big money, it's not easy to stay up for more than five years and have a five- or six-fold income. Haha, there are opportunities for speculation! Moreover, the benefits of speculation are also great, but you don't want to speculate, let my husband do the speculative things!" the old rascal laughed, remembering the scene during the financial crisis in '07.
I remembered the miserable situation of auto stocks and bank stocks in the United States, but in the end they rebounded, and the rebound was not small, which can be speculated.
However, it is still early in 07, and the old rascal said: "Establish a principle, not to buy US Treasury bonds, US two-house claims, and the claims of some other US companies." These benefits are too low, I can't look down on my husband!"
Wang Zixuan smiled: "You are too greedy! However, at the beginning of this year, the euro was officially used in the euro area, and the Americans were at war, and the euro exchange rate would inevitably rise significantly, and we could also invest in the euro exchange rate." ”
The old rascal raised his head and said: "Are you still thinking about the profits from reaping the euro exchange rate in 2000? At that time, it was relatively 'chaotic' and 'chaotic'; after more than a year, the supervision in all aspects has been relatively standardized, and it is estimated that it will not be as easy as before to speculate." Well, though, it can be used as a profit point for the company. Let Mr. Case be in charge, we need Lanyin Investment America to grow on Wall Street, so that in the future, the products of Lanyin's industrial company will enter the United States, and it will help, hehe, the United States is just a country controlled by Wall Street. ”
"Hmph, at the end of the year, the headquarters of Lanyin Investment Xijing will be moved to Huhai, what about you? Hurry up and find us a place in Huhai. Wang Zixuan lowered his head, looked at the information, and said.
"No problem, there are more good villas and more choice. When the time comes, there will be a special plane, and you can live at two ends for three days, haha, play some games of winning the newlywed!" the old rascal laughed.
"Hmph, go there, I still have to buy a big yacht, I can go out to sea if I have nothing to do!" Wang Zixuan thought: "You have so much money, it's time to take it out and give it to us to 'spend' and 'spend'!"
The old rascal stood up, walked to her seat, came behind her, held her 'chest' directly, and said with a smile: "Good things come in pairs, won't there be two yachts?"
"Yes!" Wang Zixuan grabbed his claws and smiled.
