Back at Marvel, Zhou Shi inevitably met Robert Iger again. Originally, he thought that Disney was unwilling to give up too many shares, so he wanted to exclude Miramax, but who knows that this is not the case at all.

"You mean we'll merge first, and then let me buy Miramax back with cash?" Zhou Shi listened to Egg's words and said his understanding.

"That's right, that's what I mean?" said Robert Iger lightly

"Why, is Miramax bad?" Zhou Shi, after his and Rob Freman's adjustments, at least Miramax's management is at least much more capable, and the promotion and distribution in the American market are very good.

"I didn't say he was bad, but it didn't do much for Disney!"

Iger said this, and Zhou Shi can also understand that there are touchstones and other companies in film production and distribution, and Miramax in his previous life fell to the end of being sold, which shows that this asset is indeed not in his plan. But why did he say it directly, how can he raise the price, uh, wait, Zhou Shi thought about it, Disney doesn't seem to be able to raise the price, he is the major shareholder of Marvel, what does Miramax not know about?

"Is there a problem with Disney's cash flow?" Zhou Shi suddenly thought of something, suddenly realized, and asked directly.

"Are you interested in Miramax, do me a favor?"

"Okay then, but you have to do me a favor too......" Zhou Shi hesitated for a moment, but still agreed to Egg's request.

"That's it, my boss!" said Robert Iger

The terms of the acquisition have basically been agreed, and the entire acquisition of Marvel Entertainment, which includes Marvel Comics and Studios, for a total of $6 billion. Disney's stock price remained below $32 at this time, with a market capitalization of around $48 billion. Zhou Shi holds about 35% of Marvel's shares, and after all of them are converted into Disney shares, he roughly holds 3.9%. Some of them are cash, and some people hold some stocks, and the specific transaction details are dizzy to see at Zhou Shi's current level, so I won't go into details. It will take some time to formally reach an agreement and make it public, and there are often many pitfalls in huge deals, such as Geely's acquisition of Volvo, which may have more than a billion dollars in acquisition funds if it were not for the reminder of Tianhe Securities. Disney's acquisition of Marvel was an indispensable part of the work of financial advisors, accountants and lawyers. Not only that, there are also various tax issues involving individuals, although Zhou Shi, as a foreigner, does not have capital gains tax, but Galaxy Capital has to pay a lot of taxes on the transfer of the equity of Friends.com, and the tax rate is about 15%, which is really TM.

Leaving Disney, Zhou Shi dialed Gao Xiqing's phone in the United States. Huatou doesn't know if it is authorized or has such permission, as long as it is a cooperation project of Galaxy Capital, most of them can participate, and there is a lot less process in the middle. Of course, it is difficult for outsiders to know, including General Motors, which is preparing to go public, that the cooperation between China Investment and Galaxy Capital should be more than their cooperation with Blackstone. Especially after letting them know that the merger of the three companies including Tianhe Securities was confirmed, Gao Xiqing was more enthusiastic about Zhou Shi and more confident in the cooperation of Galaxy Capital.

"Mr. Gao, I'm busy!" Zhou Shi

"Haha, I've been busy with your business these days, and I just had some rest. "High

"Okay, I have a project here and I'm short of money, are you interested?" Zhou Shi

"There must be no problem with the project you like, how much do you want!" Gao Xiqing's confidence in Zhou Shi has greatly increased, and Xinmeibang Securities Company is about to be established, as the big boss behind the scenes of the world's largest securities company, Zhou Shi's strength and trust make him not hesitate much.

"It's a small project, it's only a billion dollars, but I want a controlling stake in it, and I also have to borrow money accordingly. "Zhou Shi didn't want to pay a penny for the acquisition of Miramax.

"What project?" Zhou Shi's request was a bit excessive, but at this time he had such qualifications. Most of the sources of Huatou's profits last year were directly or indirectly related to Zhou Shi, and the same is true for many projects this year.

"Disney bought Marvel, but Miramax was left behind by me!" Zhou Shi was ashamed to say that the assets that others didn't want were his own efforts.

"Miramax, how could they ......" Gao Xiqing naturally knows the value of Miramax, and his distribution ability may be said to be second only to the six major Hollywood, and he is willing to lose money even if such a company loses money. To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that the odds of acquiring MGM were too small, coupled with the complicated debt problems, Huaxia SOEs might have directly acquired this century-old company.

"Nothing is impossible, just ask you if you are interested, and I am ready to ask you and Mubadala to invest in two companies to borrow money, your risk will not be very great. "Zhou Shi

"You don't need to look for them, this money is invested. Gao Xiqing said decisively

"Mr. Gao, I won't hide it from you, you know, it's impossible. Zhou Shi said vaguely, he is not so stupid, it is too dangerous to have only one partner, how to ensure his control.

"Okay, I won't embarrass you, let's meet and talk in detail!" Gao Xiqing

Hanging up the phone with Gao Xiqing, Zhou Shi contacted the head of Abu Dhabi Investment Group in the United States. In March this year, Didi, president of the United Arab Emirates and head of the Abu Dhabi Investment Group, the world's largest sovereign investment fund, Al Nahyan suffered an air crash and died unexpectedly. After making an appointment with the time and place, Zhou Shi continued to call, this time it was Zhang Zhao in China.

"How's it going, the integration is going well, right?" Zhou Shi

"Mr. Zhou, I'm sorry, I haven't started yet. "Zhang Zhao

"Why, isn't this what you want the most?" Zhou Shi

"I made an appointment with her, looking at the box office of this movie, "Despicable Me" is about to be released, I believe in Mr. Zhou's eyes, and I also believe in my own eyes. "Zhang Zhao

"What if this is a delaying tactic?" Zhou Shi

"If I can't even cope with this little thing, then I deserve to fail!" Zhang Zhao

"Since you have faith, then I don't care. Help me contact the person in charge of Huaying, I have something to discuss with him. "Zhou Shi

"What's the matter, can you tell me?"

"Disney's acquisition of Marvel has been decided, but I kept Miramax to attract domestic capital investment. "Zhou Shi

"Huaying can, but what about us? Is there a chance?" Zhang Zhao

"Yes, yes, but this time they have requirements for the speed of the funds to arrive, which can take up to three months, or even less. "Zhou Shi

"Well, I know, but I'd like to try anyway. "Zhang Zhao

"Whatever you want, but Huaying is very important. "Zhou Shi

"Okay, I'll contact Huaying's Han Santong" Zhang Zhao
