"Johann, it's a pity, I knew you were interested in the Volkswagen car industry, and we should have joined forces to buy Chrysler instead of letting the Germans take advantage. ”

The voice of the gambling king on the other side of the phone rang again, so that Li Feng came back to his senses from the layout of the gambling king's automobile industry, these materials are also the information reported by the people below, Li Feng has read it before, after all, he is also going to enter the automotive industry, and he naturally needs to care about the Chrysler merger and acquisition case to understand the general situation.

"Hehe... It's not too late, in the American auto industry, we don't have any visibility at all, no, if I really buy Daewoo Motors, then in the United States, this base camp will need a lot of help from Corian, you have been planning for many years. ”

Li Feng smiled and humbly dealt with the old fox.

"John, if you really succeed in acquiring Daewoo, maybe we can really work together again, now DaimlerChrysler is cooperating with each other, in North America and Europe, if you add Daewoo Motors in Asia, maybe we can form a new global automotive alliance across Asia, Europe and the United States, with DaimlerChrysler-Daewoo alliance, will be able to occupy the top of the global automotive industry. ”

"Yes, that's a good suggestion, but there has to be a premise for this, that is, I can really buy Daewoo, if it fails, everything will be empty, and I can't be completely sure in the face of a predator like General Motors, Corian, I will need your help then." Li Feng immediately climbed along the pole and replied directly.

"Rest assured, if John is interested in such an alliance, I will bring it up to the DaimlerChrysler Board of Directors, and I think it will be very beneficial for all of us. ”

"Okay, that's it for now, we can talk about it after I buy Daewoo, of course I hope that we can be at the top of the global automotive industry, and it would be great for a newcomer to the automotive industry like me to cooperate with a global automotive industry giant like DaimlerChrysler." ”

Anyway, it's not clear what the outcome will be, but if DaimlerChrysler can help itself and deal with GM together, then at least in the acquisition of Daewoo, maybe there will be a bigger win, Li Feng will respond to the old gambling king.

……

"Haha... John, you're not a novice, my garage is full of your Tiangong Industrial Company car brands, and your brands are famous. ”

"Then I'll thank Corian for your 'contribution', so be it, I have something on my side, how about we get together next time?"

"Okay, John, so be it, next time you come to Las Vegas, I don't think you will be disappointed here. ”

"Of course, the casino has been famous for a long time, but unfortunately, I have never had the opportunity to visit it, and I will definitely go to visit it after this busy time. ”

"Haha... Then I'll wait for you to come to Las Vegas, John!"

"Bye-bye!"

"Bye-bye!"

“…”

After hanging up the old fox's phone, Li Feng couldn't help but fall into contemplation again.

For example, if Cork can really persuade DaimlerChrysler to form an alliance with its own automobile industry company, then when the company sells Chrysler in a few years, perhaps its own automobile industry company can directly receive it at a low price and complete the market demand layout of the mid-range car level.

Of course, it would be a shame to cooperate with giants like Old Fox and Mercedes-Benz Chrysler, and not to be sold and help people pay for it when the time comes.

To be honest, Li Feng is naturally very interested in Chrysler Corporation, but unfortunately, the valuation of Chrysler Corporation today is too high, for example, this merger of the two companies, Chrysler was valued at $36 billion, which is really crazy.

In less than 10 years, when Chrysler was sold again, it was only a fraction of the price of $36 billion, although it may have been because of Chrysler's huge annual losses and large debts, but it also shows how much water there is, which is completely overestimated.

……

I put down my thinking and calculated the time, and found that it was about 10 o'clock in the morning in Seoul, South Korea, and immediately picked up the phone and contacted Wang Xuelan and Li Fuzhen, who were far away in South Korea, the helmsman of Samsung, and his current 'best ally' - Li Kunxi, and understood the situation in more detail, hoping to follow Daewoo's contact closely and take Daewoo's willingness as soon as possible.

The next day, it was still in Li Feng's office.

"John, the negotiations with Murdoch are basically coming to an end, according to what you mean, Murdoch roughly agreed, Rupert has hemorrhaged once this time!" Barry Diller, the helmsman of the media group, said to Li Feng with a smile on his face at this time.

Barry can't be proud, about the world's largest satellite operator and the shares of Sky Group, Li Feng naturally will not directly say that he will sell cash or anything, after all, Li Feng himself is not short of cash, and he has his own bank support, so why do you want so much cash.

At present, the market value of News Corp. is about $40 billion, and the shares exchanged for 9.8% of News Corp.'s shares, becoming the largest shareholder after the Murdoch family.

Thanks to the previous high price of more than 20 billion US dollars for Vivendi Group's acquisition of the second largest satellite TV operator in the United States, this time News Corp. is bleeding, after all, Li Feng's satellite TV operator is the largest, and the price of the first is naturally much higher than the second.

In addition to the negotiations with News Corp., the tripartite negotiations with Polygram, represented by Universal Group and Siemens and Philips, have also been basically concluded.

Due to the crazy price of Yahoo shares in Li Feng's hands with the valuation of Nasdaq, the two European electronic technology giants behind Polygram, Siemens, Philips and the behind-the-scenes boss of the Global Group-parent company all hope to reach an agreement as soon as possible, after all, the later it drags on, the higher the value of Li Feng's shares, and it is really unaffordable.

……

"Everyone, Yahoo's stock price rose again yesterday, you see, whether your quotation is going to make another modification, and when you quote again, it is best to consider the future trend of Yahoo in the next few days.... ”

“…”

It is said that when the bigwigs behind the two giants of Polygram and the Global Group are negotiating, what they are most afraid of is to hear Barry Dille say such things with a smile, and it is said that they dream of Barry Diller's old face in nightmares at night.

According to the contract brought by Barry Diller, Siemens and Philips, the two giants, are 21 and 5, sharing Li Feng's shares in Yahoo, but they need to pay Polygram plus 2 billion US dollars in cash, while Universal Music, a subsidiary of the Universal Group, merged with Polygram, and Li Feng's media group obtained 49% of the shares of the Universal Group + $1.5 billion in cash.

The end result was that Li Feng paid for Yahoo's stake in exchange for $3.5 billion in cash and a 49% stake in Universal Group. In the cash part, Li Feng did not transfer any of the 2 billion cash paid by the two European giants to the United States, after all, the transfer required a huge amount of taxes, and it was directly placed in the bank account of the CSCB branch registered in Liechtenstein, a tax haven in Europe. When the time comes to acquire Daewoo, his cash may be almost ready to be used.

However, the tax of $1.5 billion in cash paid by the United States cannot be escaped, and the tax bureau must be firmly watching, of course, reasonable tax avoidance cannot be avoided, and the payment here is regarded as the company's profits tax rather than Li Feng's personal tax, if it is a personal tax, it is much higher.

These companies are all listed companies, and such a large-scale equity transaction still needs to be reported, but the problem is not big, and now it is up to Li Feng, the big man, to sign it finally.

......

"Barry, when the company is sold in the future, we all have the priority, right?" Looking at the thick contracts, Li Feng asked Barry.

"BOSS, don't worry, the other party has agreed to this article we proposed, maybe it seems to them that they will be so successful in operating the company in the future, how can it fail, and there will be no day when it will be sold. Barry Diller also responded with a smile.

"Haha... , there are ups and downs in life, not to mention running a company, who knows, there is such a way to always get the first opportunity, isn't it?"

"Well, that's what we thought too. ”

“...”

There is no doubt that a Yahoo stake has made Li Feng earn a lot of money, and it's time to harvest it, isn't it!
