In the next few days, Summer fulfilled his promise and stayed by Zhong Chuhong's side, shopping, eating, and watching movies...... met all her requirements, so that Zhong Chuhong was also very happy, and enjoyed the long-lost warmth. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Michelle is in charge of the acquisition, and she has already begun to build the acquisition team.

Founded in 1849, the firm is one of the best law firms in the world, specializing in mega acquisitions.

In the previous life, CNOOC acquired Nexans, a Canadian global energy company, at a cost of $15.1 billion, which was the legal service provided by CNOOC.

The syndicate is serviced by HSBC, which has the best relationship with Summer. Shen Bi is very interested in buying Hollywood in the summer, because it is a big business worth billions of dollars. And in the summer, if you have good credit, you will definitely benefit a lot from helping him fund the acquisition.

Moreover, any Hollywood giant, the annual flow of funds is quite amazing, and it can be called a high-end customer. To be able to attract such a customer and provide financial services to it is a great thing for HSBC. So Shen Bi was very active in matching this matter and offered to help Summer.

Summer originally wanted Citibank or JPMorgan Chase, which are more powerful in the United States, but seeing that Shen Bi was so enthusiastic, he was embarrassed to refuse him, so he had to nod.

Fortunately, HSBC is not the strongest in the United States, but it also has a certain amount of strength and will not have a big impact on the acquisition. Moreover, HSBC knows everything about him, and it is relatively more convenient to take out loans, so the advantages of cooperating with it actually outweigh the disadvantages.

The public relations team is in charge of Boyaa Public Relations. Founded in 1953, the firm is one of the world's leading public relations and communications consultancy, providing strategic thinking and project execution services to clients in a wide range of public relations, public affairs, advertising and website-related services.

In short, it can help Xia calm public opinion in the United States, so that they will make fewer voices and no objections, reduce interference, and facilitate his successful acquisition of Hollywood studios.

……

While Michelle was setting up the team, the American media also reported what Summer said at the airport.

Many people agreed with his response.

Hollywood is having a hard time right now, and even the giants are in danger of not being able to open the pot, so it's actually a good thing if someone is willing to invest. Many people are optimistic that it will not only solve the employment problem, but also promote cultural exchanges.

But the opposition is still not small.

They believe that Hollywood is a symbol of American culture and plays a pivotal role in Americans' ideology, values, political ideas, and cultural heritage.

And Xia is not an American, but a Hong Kong person, and after he joins a Hollywood studio, he will definitely use it to promote Hong Kong culture, not American culture.

In that case, the cultural heritage of the United States will be affected, and the soft power of the United States will also be weakened, so it is absolutely not feasible for him to buy Hollywood studios.

The pro-side and the opposing side both made a big deal in the media, and for a while there was a lot of uproar, and even ignorant women and children knew about it.

"If he is willing to buy a Hollywood studio in the summer, as long as he can afford it, why not?"

"He's an Asian, a yellow-skinned pig, and he dares to touch the pride of us Americans, it's really bold! Get out of America!"

"I'm in favor of the summer takeover of Hollywood's studios. We claim to be a country of commercial freedom, but we are blaming the acquisition, and we wonder if there is something wrong with the minds of those people. ”

"From the "Fu Manchu" series of movies, I know that those yellow people are the big bad guys, and one day they will invade our country. The acquisition of Hollywood studios this summer is obviously a cultural invasion and capital invasion. He will spread the culture of those yellow people, brainwash all our next generation, and we will resist him!"

The attitude of the American people towards this incident is also mixed and polarized.

Originally, the number of people on both sides was about the same. However, those who express support are generally more rational, so the voice is on the low side. And those who oppose it are all irrational, so they are loud.

According to the "spiral of silence theory", when one side of the voice prevails, more people will participate, making that side louder. And the supporters of the opposing side will gradually become silent, and the voice will become quieter and quieter, and eventually become the silent party.

Now it's the voices of opposition to the takeover that have taken over. Because their speeches became more emotional and inflammatory, they used slogans such as "love America" and "defend culture" to hold public opinion hostage, and smeared Xia with trumped-up charges such as "invasion," "pornography," and "brainwashing," which caused public opinion to gush and pressure to increase sharply.

Although he has been accompanying Zhong Chuhong these days in the summer, he is also secretly paying attention to the acquisition, and he can't help but be secretly worried when he sees this public opinion so vicious.

……

"Boss, now the lawyers' team, the bank team, and the public relations team are all in place, and now there is only the advisory group. Michelle reported to the summer.

"Well, it's not bad that it got in a week. Summer nodded and complimented, and then asked suspiciously, "Then why hasn't the advisory group been set up yet?"

"That's right, boss, let's engage in the acquisition this time, and the advisory group is the most important. Because it is all the matchmaking, it is inevitably troublesome when it is organized. Michelle explained, "There are a number of consulting companies that are willing to work with us, and I am still in contact with each one and review them one by one, and it is estimated that it will take at least another week to decide." ”

"Wait another week, and nothing will be delayed. In this case, you can bring me all the information of the consulting company and let me decide. Summer thought for a moment.

He stayed in the United States for about half a month at most. It had already taken a week, and if it took another week, wouldn't the team be ready when he left? Because he had to see the whole team before he left the United States.

There is a cloud in the ancient book "Zuo Chuan", "The major affairs of the country are in worship and Rong." ”

Worship is the meaning of sacrifice, communicate with God, pray to heaven, only the Son of Heaven has this power, so "worship" is actually a symbol of power and name. "Rong" means military. Military affairs are a major matter of the country, a place of death and life, and the way of survival.

There are many similarities in managing a country and managing a business.

This sentence in "Zuo Biography" is extended to the shopping mall, that is, it is necessary to let the employee know who he is working for and who is paying him, so that he does not owe allegiance to the wrong person.

And this acquisition, in fact, is a business war, if you lose, the loss is quite heavy, at least will miss fifteen years of golden development opportunities, so the summer is absolutely not allowed to fail.

Therefore, before he leaves the United States, he must see the whole team, otherwise he will not be at ease even if he leaves.

"Yes, boss. Michelle nodded hurriedly.

……

"Also, let the public relations team settle public opinion as soon as possible, and no longer allow the voice of opposition to the acquisition to continue to expand, otherwise, the acquisition will be difficult to complete. Summer instructed again.

"Yes, boss. Michelle nodded, "The PR team and I have also noticed this and are already working on it." ”

"Okay, then I look forward to your results as soon as possible. Summer nodded and said, "If you need anything, just mention it to me, funding is not a problem." ”

"Yes, boss. Michelle responded.

"Alright, remember to bring me the information of the advisory group. Summer said, then hung up the phone, sighed, and rubbed her temples.

"Ah Tian, what's wrong, isn't the acquisition going well?" Zhong Chuhong asked with concern when he saw him like this.

"It's just a little storm, it's not a big deal, I expected it a long time ago. Xia didn't want Zhong Chuhong to worry about herself, smiled and waved her hand,

"Really?" Zhong Chuhong said with some disbelief when he saw that he said so easily.

If it really wasn't a big deal, summer wouldn't be so worrying.

"Of course, don't worry, it's just a little bit of a situation now, nothing serious. Xia smiled, "When I first started out, the things I encountered were bigger and more troublesome, didn't I come over?" So, you don't have to worry about me. ”

"Hmm. Zhong Chuhong heard him say this, smiled and nodded.

From obscurity to today's achievements in the summer, it has indeed experienced countless ups and downs. And no matter how much trouble he encounters, in the end, he will turn evil into good fortune and become auspicious in trouble, so she is really confident in him.

"By the way, Sister Hong, you can go back to the crew tomorrow. Hurry up and finish filming, so that we can go back to Hong Kong together. Summer persuaded again.

"Hmm. Zhong Chuhong nodded.

There are only a few scenes left in the drama "Autumn Fairy Tale" that will be filmed, but she has been busy with summer these days, so she has not returned to the crew.

"Then you can also go and buy it. I know these days, because you have to accompany me, you have been delaying a lot of business. She continued.

"Fool, it's my business to accompany you. Summer laughed.

Hearing him say this, Zhong Chuhong suddenly laughed happily.

……

The next day, Michelle brought all the information of the advisory group.

When he heard that he was going to buy a Hollywood film company in the summer, many financial consulting firms offered themselves to help him with this difficult task.

The reason why they are so enthusiastic is not because of their hospitality, of course, but because the acquisition is a big business, and they can make a lot of money from it.

"Boss, the information is here, please take a look. Michelle said.

Summer nodded, took the information, and then looked at it seriously. There are a lot of companies that are interested in cooperating, and there are many large companies, such as McKinsey, Bain, Boston, Ritter, etc., all of which are world-class financial consulting firms.

Of course, the qualifications, performance, etc. of these large companies are impeccable, but the fees are also extremely high. For example, McKinsey & Company provides a service team of 10 people, and the maximum labor fee per person is 30,000 US dollars per day, and the minimum is 5,000 US dollars, for a total of 120,000 US dollars a day. If the acquisition lasts for a year or two, then the consulting company will be released.

"These vampires~" Summer couldn't help but scold, and then continued to look down.

At this moment, the information of a company suddenly caught his attention, and he saw that the name of this consulting company was "Blackstone Group".

Summer was stunned for a moment, and suddenly thought of this well-known investment company in later generations.

The Blackstone Group was founded by Peter Peterson, who served as Secretary of Commerce of the United States in the '70s, during the Nixon period, and later as Chairman of Lehman & Co. In '85, he left Lehman and founded the Blackstone Group.

Steve Schwartzman, a graduate of Harvard Business School and a former partner at Lehman Brothers, jumped out to co-found the Blackstone Group with Peterson.

Summer knows about Blackstone because the company has a reputation as the "uncrowned king" of Wall Street. Its investment returns are staggering, with its real estate and private equity funds returning at least 30% per annum in the five years leading up to its listing in '07.

And Blackstone was one of the intermediaries that helped Sony buy Colombia. Because Peter Peterson, the chairman of the Blackstone Group, and Sony's president, Morita Schotto, are good friends, the company has only been established for three years, and it is not yet well-known, when it receives such a big business.

Unexpectedly, in this life, it would also recommend itself and offer to help with the acquisition, which is really a coincidence.

"So, all of these companies have come and meet with me, and I'm going to take a look at their proposals. Summer said again.

Just looking at qualifications and performance, these companies are not bad. And the commission that should be paid is not stingy in the summer, so the salary is not something he is worried about.

What he values most now is which company can help him complete the acquisition, so he must look at the project proposal. He had to see what the companies were going to do in order to help him get his plans done.

"Okay, boss, I'll arrange it for you as soon as possible. Michelle nodded.

"Hmm. Summer also nodded, and then asked with concern, "By the way, has the public relations team come up with a plan to calm public opinion?"

When he got up early this morning to read the newspaper, public opinion in the newspaper not only did not subside, but became more intense. Even members of Congress have come out and called for an investigation into the summer acquisition. There are even threats that he will file a lawsuit to stop it as soon as he buys a Hollywood studio in the summer.

The situation is so bad, and summer can't sit still.

"Mr. Xia, the easiest thing the PR team can think of now is for you to become an American citizen, become an American, and swear allegiance to the United States of America. This will calm some public opinion so that those people will no longer have a reason to attack you. Michelle said.
