Ten years ago, Lei Shidong spent $8.4 billion to acquire an 81.5% stake in Pepsi, revealing his pride and expectations.

Ten years later, Lei Shidong couldn't play anymore.

On September 5, Viacom's board of directors formally decided to divest Viacom from Viacom's assets and allow other shareholders of Viacom to repurchase shares.

This signal was released half a year ago.

Viacom claimed that the divestiture was to protect shareholders' rights and interests and reasonably avoid tax issues. This divestiture will not be a simple equity transfer, but an extraordinarily complex spinning transaction.

Is that really the case?

Maybe.

But the bigger reason is that anyone with a discerning eye can see.

Lei Shidong was defeated by the combination of Don Walker and Michael Eisner!

Splitting Pepsi is undoubtedly a good choice for Viacom.

But what about Pepsi?

Although the CEO of Bestech, John Antioco, has declared that becoming an independent company will allow Bestech to go further in its retail strategy.

However, Lei Shidong was forced to give in under the joint suppression of Don and Eisner.

Relying on the individual ability of Pepsi, how long can it be carried?

On the day of the split, Viacom, whose stock price had been falling for nearly a year, finally rose!

The opening price is up as much as 7.2%!

Very gratifying!

However, due to the divestiture and the reduction of share capital, Viacom's stock price has risen, but the overall market value has fallen significantly.

After crossing the $40 billion threshold, only $36.4 billion remains.

That's $10 billion behind Disney!

Although Disney's performance declined in the third quarter and its stock price fell, it also secured the second position in the industry.

As for Pepsi...... Among the NYSE Class B stocks, the share price opened 5% lower, with a market capitalization of $7.5 billion.

Because of the asset split and debt restructuring, the divestiture of Besta was burdened with $5.2 billion in debt.

John Antioco is in a hurry!

He didn't even have time to hate Lei Shidong.

He has to find a way to save the stock price!

Otherwise, in the case of a cliff-like decline in Pestell's revenue, a continuous decline in the stock price, and huge debts, it is very likely that the most painful situation will occur - bankruptcy.

Of course, there is something more terrible than going bankrupt, being swallowed alive!

If it goes bankrupt, it is possible to reorganize and be swallowed up...... It's all over the game.

Carl Icahn, the capital predator of Wall Street and known as the "predator", seems to be consolidating forces and launching an attack on Pestell.

Think of the MGM tragedy.

Wall Street's wealth wolf doesn't talk about feelings.

……

Lei Shidong successfully broke his wrist, and Viacom's stock price increased.

The old man breathed a sigh of relief.

Next, it's up to Paramount's performance.

As long as the performance improves, Viacom can be relieved.

In terms of TV programs, although "American Idol", "Truth or Dare", "The Bachelor", and "Universal Supermodel Contest" produced by the New Universal Department are popular broadcasts. However, CBS also has shows such as "CSI", "Survivor", "The Amazing Race", etc., which are not without resistance.

It's just that it's no longer like the industry leader and dominates the market like in previous years.

Compared to Lei Shidong, who was full of worries about the future, Tang En's side was relaxed.

After working hard to shoot "The Departed", Tang En will indulge in pleasure for a long time to come.

He was in the indoor swimming pool in the office area, lazily lying on a lounger by the pool.

Behind it are waterfall-like floor-to-ceiling windows, just enough sunlight to shine on his muscular torso.

On the side of the chaise longue, there are two messy bath towels scattered around, and a cloth-like women's swimsuit, which smells of champagne.

"Aren't you tired of swimming?"

Don couldn't help but mumble as he looked at the mermaid swimming naked in the pool.

There were guests coming today, so he didn't think about what was going on with Catherine Zeta-Jones at first.

But when the beauty changed into a swimsuit, scratched her head and posed, threw all kinds of flattering eyes, and teased all kinds of teases, she didn't hold back immediately, and directly corrected the Fa on the spot.

You're welcome!

Catherine Zeta-Jones climbed up with a smile and wanted to put on a bath towel, but the two bath towels were messy, and her bathing suit ...... Also thrown on the ground, dirty.

I just don't wear it.

Anyway, Don said that there will be no outsiders here, it is a top-secret private space.

He was just wearing a boxer and lazily basking in the sun.

She pulled the chaise longue to Don's side, lay down side by side with him, and said with a smug smile: "So, women's physical strength is better than men!"

"I think you're thirty like a wolf, and forty like a tiger!" said Don angrily.

Catherine Zeta-Jones didn't react, she lay down comfortably, closed her eyes and rested, "Your environment here is really good, there is an indoor pool, and you can sunbathe." If you want, I can come every day. ”

Don glanced at her, "Your husband's side?"

"He can't control me!" said Catherine Zeta-Jones lightly, "if he dares to restrain me as he did before, he will divorce." Anyway, I'm afraid that something will go wrong with my career?"

Tang En was stunned, a little funny, "You are so honest!"

Catherine Zeta-Jones straightened the wet hair on her cheeks and said, "In three or five years, I shouldn't lose your favor, which is enough for me to sit firmly on the top line." ”

"You're so confident!" Don opened his arms and chin slightly, "Come here, hug." ”

Catherine Zeta-Jones glanced at it charmingly, climbed over, and said with a smile: "I know my charm!"

Tang En hugged her soft body, and his whole body was comfortable, and he was very emotional: "Woman, what the greatest gift God has given to men!"

Catherine Zeta-Jones pursed her lips and said, "Then it will also divide people, a man like you can certainly enjoy a lot of beautiful women." But more men can only struggle under the rising feminism, and even be squeezed, and their status is not as good as that of women. In that case, women are really like jackals and tigers, and if you want to blame, you can only blame them for not being angry. ”

Tang En was a little surprised by her remarks, and he didn't know whether he was really thinking or deliberately flattering himself, so he asked tentatively: "Women are over thirty years old, and they change a lot every year, and I can be picky about my requirements for women." ”

Catherine Zeta-Jones looked pitiful, "I think...... Am I okay?"

Don glanced down a few times and praised: "Of course, it's good now, charming, sexy, charming, and sultry." ”

"Why don't you ......," Catherine Zeta-Jones hesitated, her pretty eyes purring, "Why don't you take a picture of me at my best?"

"Huh?" Don was stunned, incredulous, "Aren't you?"

For the past two months, the entire United States has been shocked by a videotape.

Paris Hilton, the heiress of Hilton Hotels Group, has an indecent video of her and her boyfriend, who was sold to the media by her boyfriend, and it has been exposed!

The entire Hilton family has lost face for this.

It is said that her boyfriend still has a copy of this video.

If the Hilton family doesn't give an explanation and doesn't offer a satisfactory price, he will sell it all to the media!

Having this kind of boyfriend can be regarded as eight lifetimes of blood mold.

Catherine Zeta-Jones patted him on the shoulder and said, "If you don't shoot that kind of video, you can take photos, the kind of photos, it's okay if the scale is larger." ”

In order to curry favor with Donne, after losing her age advantage, she invested a lot of money.

"The scale is large...... Are you alright?" Don asked.

Catherine Zeta-Jones said with a smile: "You can't be like Hilton's boyfriend, right? ”

That's true.

Gossip doesn't matter, if there is real material, then Don will definitely be strongly morally condemned.

On the contrary, the heroine of the photorealistic is often the victim and receives sympathy from the public.

has increased his fame, and maybe he will go to the next level in his career.

For example, Paris Hilton's indecent video incident, is it really all bad?

Not necessarily!

This wealthy socialite, at least became a celebrity, and entered the entertainment industry.

It's 2003, and in 2004, that bastard boyfriend released two more indecent videos one after another.

With the strength of the Hilton family, would they be able to handle such a trivial matter? If they really wanted to deal with it, they would have spent millions of dollars to buy those videos and sign a non-disclosure agreement.

The reason why the incident will continue to ferment is likely that Paris Hilton saw the "benefits" brought by the indecent video and wanted to gain greater fame.

After this incident, Paris Hilton has become a wealthy socialite on the same level as Ivanka **** in the United States!

The latter is a combination of looks and talent, and the former ...... Probably a goddess for lovers of adult films.

Either way, this proposal made Donn's mind come alive.

He made movies because he wanted to leave evidence in this world to prove that he had been here and crossed.

However, he has dated so many women, how can he prove it?

There were even too many women, and many of them he himself had forgotten.

It's better to take pictures for evidence and leave a thought!

"Well, good idea. Don pondered secretly, feeling more and more that Catherine's proposal was very bold, very provocative, and very attractive, "Brother Guanxi's gameplay, I also play!"

Of course, digital storage is impossible, and computers are untouchable.

It can be photocopied privately, made with fine products, and then treasured in the study and flipped through at any time.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps at the door.

Ella Fisher led two exotic hot beauties over.

One is a blue long skirt and the other is a white short skirt, with seven or eight points of similarity in figure and appearance.

It can be seen with the naked eye, it must be a sister!

Without a doubt, this is the friend Donn was waiting for - Penelope Cruz and her sister, Monica Cruz.

The picture by the pool, very spicy to the eyes.

Not to mention the messy bath towels and swimsuits scattered on the ground, what happened to the two people on the recliner?

This bare ass basking in the sun in broad daylight?

On the beaches of Spain, it is normal to have women everywhere who do not wear a bib sunbathing on the beach.

But you have to wear swim trunks, right?

Who is that woman?

Too bold, right?

Ira Fisher ignored it, and Penelope Cruz looked the same.

Monica Cruz, the younger sister who came here for the first time, was flustered.

She had heard her sister say many times that Done's private life was a bit chaotic.

But I didn't expect it to be so blatant!(https:)
