Chapter 527: Marvel Follow-up

Zhou Shi was greatly inspired by Chen Wen's words, and he didn't know if others noticed it, or maybe they thought the opposite. But Zhou Shi decided to believe Chen Wen's judgment, not because he believed in her, but because things have developed so far, if he doesn't advance, he will retreat. It is impossible to retreat, then there is only one step further.

Zhou Shi didn't go directly to Micron, a three- or four-billion-dollar company, and now there are more things to deal with. Such trouble can only be handed over to Lu He.

"Simon, can you stop looking for trouble, now we are too busy, you are trying to force us to death!" Lu He also returned to Wall Street from England, Tianhe Securities merger negotiations are inseparable from him, the equity transfer of Friends Network is inseparable from him, and the participation of major shareholders is also indispensable for Guoke Financing. You must know that HTC at this time also exceeded the market value of 10 billion US dollars, and the valuation of Guoke will not be lower than this figure. It is only when Zhou Shi is so stingy that he can rest assured that he will be handed over to others. Not to mention the merger of Netsuite and MySQL, a single item is enough for them to toss, these things are concentrated and exploded, even if a lot of business is separated, Lu He's busyness has not decreased much.

"But the time is not to be lost, and when everyone reacts, we will no longer have the opportunity to start cheaply and become a major shareholder. "Zhou Shi, Galaxy Capital is only one of the shareholders in Micron, although it has a certain right to speak, it actually can't decide many things. This is naturally inconsistent with his original intention of investing in Micron, and if he has the opportunity to become a major shareholder, he still wants to take advantage of this opportunity.

"What chance? I don't think so. "Lu He

"Do you think that many of our operations can be kept secret, including secretly raising funds, they may not know our purpose, but the flow of funds will definitely not escape the surveillance of those who care about it. If...... How big is the chance for us to acquire AIA?"

"The acquisition of AIA is inherently risky, and the probability of success is too low. "Lu He

"But if it turns out, it can lay the foundation for our development in one fell swoop. "Zhou Shi

"Yes, this is also the reason why we have to fight, but what does this have to do with the matter of magnesium?" has been on it many times, and Lu He will not be easily fooled by Zhou Shi.

"In such actions, we can hide the true intentions of our money flows. "Zhou Shi

"It's not enough, Micron's market value is less than $5 billion, and most of the funds can't be used," Lu He

"What if we push Micron to buy Elpida or merge with Qimonda?" Zhou Shi

"This~~" Speaking of which, of course Lu He could think of more

"Hey, I've been tricked by you again, and I'm going to stay up late again. "Lu He

"Haha, I can't help you with these things!" Zhou Shi didn't care about Lu He's clamour, and immediately fled the scene.

The more complex the plan, the more likely it is to fail, and of course the greater the rewards of success. Zhou Shi's strength was not good before, and most of the time it was simple, rough and direct. This time, the plan is actually not too complicated, all the actions are independent of each other, true and false, virtual and real, can be converted into each other. For example, if there is an opportunity, it is definitely a good thing to promote Micron's acquisition of Elpida. The only thing to pay attention to between the various action plans is the time rhythm, so that the synergy can be formed at the end.

The matter of magnesium is promoted by Lu He, it should not be a big problem, there are already many people inside who want to quit, but at that time, Zhou Shi was in trouble and was in no mood to pay attention to it. At this time, Zhou Shi took the initiative to contact the magnesium light and gave them a signal, if no one took the bait, it would be strange. Anyway, KKR and Silver Lake Capital won't stop his acquisition, so there shouldn't be much of a problem for Galaxy Capital to call Micron's largest shareholder.

Coming to Hollywood again, with Zhou Shi's cooperation, Disney's acquisition of Marvel is basically no obstacle, mainly the price, and the management's concerns about future operations. To be honest, if it's just the U.S. market, in fact, there is no Disney, and Marvel can do the same. However, in terms of global promotion, the gap between Marvel and Disney may still be more than ten years.

"Simon, did you really sell Marvel like that?" Kevin Feige, Disney and Zhou Shi's combined shares are more than fifty-one percent, and if it weren't for a vulture like Carl Icahn, his decision could basically be said to be the final decision. In fact, such an acquisition is very cost-effective for most people as long as the price is right, if it is not for ulterior motives or deep feelings for the company, and they really don't want to sell, they can succeed in a bunch of situations.

"As I said last time, I don't have many options. If it weren't for Disney's public opinion protection, my reputation in the United States might have been ruined. "Zhou Shi

"Is it that serious?" said Kevin Feige

"Because my opponent at that time was too strong!" Zhou Shi

"Who is it?" can you say?" said Kevin Feige

"I don't know, I don't want to know, but the specific ones are Goldman Sachs" Zhou Shi

"Why are they doing this?" said Kevin Feige

"Interests, only interests, I can get more benefits by hitting them. Forget it, let's not talk about this, does Disney have any sincerity?"

"Hey...... Their sincerity is still okay. Iger promised that even after the acquisition, we would be responsible for the specific operation of Marvel Studios. "Kevin Feige

"That's good, I'll be relieved to be able to guarantee your interests!" Zhou Shi

"You don't have to feel guilty, we don't blame you!" Kevin Feige

"It's a pity MGM, if we succeed, maybe we have a chance to become the seventh biggest in Hollywood, how can no one blame me!" Zhou Shi

"Don't think too much about it, everyone knows your hard work!" Kevin Feige

"Don't worry, since I have done such a thing, I naturally have the courage to bear all the consequences, if I am wrong, I am wrong, and this time I have lived up to everyone's expectations. "Zhou Shi

"By the way, Disney doesn't seem to want to buy Miramax!" Kevin Feige didn't continue to talk to Zhou Shi about this

"I know about this matter, it seems that the overall acquisition market value is too high, they have to pay too much equity, and the board of directors has an opinion. "Zhou Shi

"Simon, what do you think!"

"Rob Freman, what does he think, and if Miramax runs independently, will he have confidence?"

"I don't know, do you want to keep Miramax?"

"I don't know, I don't think it makes much sense to keep it, but I'm a little unwilling. ”

"Then I'll call Rob Freman over and see what he thinks. "Kevin Feige

"Okay!" Zhou Shi

The current Miramax includes Summit Entertainment, if the market value is about one billion dollars, if it is acquired, there will definitely be a premium, or it will lower the premium of Marvel. But if Disney really doesn't buy this part of the assets and can't be forgiven, it will definitely not work, after all, they took a stake in Marvel because Zhou Shi bought Miramax.

"If Miramax remains independent, I am confident that I will continue to promote the partnership with MGM Pictures......" said Rob Freman
