Chapter 763: Wu Xiang and the 2016 U.S. Election!
Why did Wu Xiang suddenly have such a big appetite? Why did he think of buying Disney in its entirety? This is too exaggerated, right?
In fact, the reason is very simple, that is, Wu Xiang is rich now, and there is still a lot of money!
Now the international oil price has rebounded somewhat, but Wu Xiang has made money from the international market, which is still increasing, anyway, he sees the general trend clearly, then the money is too comfortable.
There is already a harvest of about 15 billion, which seems to be a bit different from Disney's market capitalization, which is $150 billion, but don't forget that it is a stock market value, which is something that has been magnified.
If you can zoom in, then we can zoom in too, right?
To be honest, Wu Xiang now has 15 billion US dollars in his hands, so this acquisition is really too easy, not to mention how many loans the bank will give, just by virtue of the market value of Ali and Penguin, and a large number of shareholders here.
Let's just put it this way, if this matter is negotiated, as long as Wu Xiang shouts, I want to buy Disney, then there will definitely be a big group of people who will respond, and they will hold the money to join this plan!
In addition, even if it is Disney's 150 billion, but for an acquisition of this level, then everyone will have some sayings, such as a share exchange, then generally speaking, you have 75 billion US dollars, which is enough.
So, from the point of view of price, there is no problem at all.
But why did Disney sell you Wu Xiang?
In other words, the reason that Wu Xiang said is that there is no business that cannot be discussed. There is only a price that cannot be negotiated, which is definitely there. And the other thing is the U.S. market. The film market, in particular, has been in trouble lately!
It's going downhill, and it's obviously going downhill.
Last year's American movie champion was a big upset "Guardians of the Galaxy", this movie only passed 300 million US dollars, and it won the box office at such a point, doesn't this explain the problem?
And this year, it's even more interesting, we in China in February, the month of the Chinese New Year. For the first time, it surpassed the United States at the box office!
That's right, this time it's really surpassing others at the box office, not selling more than them, but the amount is also exceeding, the comparison between this dollar and RMB is still like that, it can be said that it is rich and capricious!
This is the movie, but what about the rest of the entertainment industry?
In fact. Looking at the economy of the United States as a whole, there has not been much improvement, although in terms of GDP, the United States is still growing. But this number jù has really undergone a lot of changes, and the algorithm is different.
Industrially, even financially. The U.S. didn't actually grow much last year.
And these aspects are affecting the entertainment industry. People who are influencing the media industry, who are in this industry. You should be able to feel that it is really a crisis now.
Why is the box office of the film market declining?
There are fewer people watching movies!
You must know that the per capita hourly wage in the United States has increased, that is, the price of movie tickets has increased, but even so, the box office is still going down.
What about TV?
Similarly, the strong thing in the United States is paid cable TV, which will also be affected by the real economy.
To put it bluntly, the information Wu Xiang got from all sides shows that Disney has every reason to sell itself, and they are now making quite good profits on their books, and if someone pays a lot of money to buy it, will they be unhappy?
So, this hindrance......
It should be that there are some regulations in the United States, which do not allow foreign capital, especially Chinese like Wu Xiang, to meddle in the media industry, and even if there are no regulations, it is not allowed by default.
Wu Xiang must know about this, but he has confidence, very confidence.
Why?
The 2016 U.S. election!
Because of the previous cooperation, the Republican Party and the Democratic Party have issued sincere invitations to Wu Xiang, hoping that he can help, so does Wu Xiang have any special tricks this time?
Let's put it this way, basically a person can see that the probability that the Democratic Party wants to win the 2016 election is quite low.
Even if Hillary Clinton is a candidate, it will be extremely difficult to win the throne of the commander.
So on the Democratic side, Wu Xiang was more perfunctory, and he put forward an idea, that is, to make a film about the Iron Lady Margaret Thatcher, what do you think?
Thatcher?
That's right, since Hillary Clinton is likely to become the presidential candidate of the Democratic Party, let's look at it this way, from the perspective of the party, her probability is still relatively high, not only that she has been the first lady, but also that her husband has done a good job, the key is the kind of tough attitude she gives people.
You know, the most complained about by Ohama is 'soft', that is, incompetent, so Hillary Clinton can completely reverse other people's views of the Democratic Party, and she should be a very good candidate.
Since it is a woman who came out to run, then we might as well make a film about Margaret Thatcher, because the Iron Lady was also powerful back then, so let's put it this way, the economy of Britain during the Iron Lady period was quite good, and Hillary, who is also a woman, is also going to be elected as the first leader, so you see, the meaning of this insinuation is not strong enough?
However, there is a problem here, that is, the first one, there are such films, Meryl Streep has made them before, right? Also, that's Margaret Thatcher, who is a Conservative!
That's right, the Conservative Party in the United States is the Republican Party, so let's do it......
The Democratic Party needs to consider it carefully, because what Wu Xiang said is not unreasonable, but the problem is ...... Anyway, they'll add it up slowly.
So what was Wu Xiang's idea for the Republican Party?
Let's make a movie about the Motor City, which is Detroit.
Detroit?
What does this have to do with the election? Isn't Detroit famous because of bankruptcy?
This is famous, in fact, the main reason is that we Chinese are more concerned, because Detroit was too famous back then. It's amazing, but now. You see, you Yankees can't do it. Hey, hey, hey!
It is said that many of the leaders of China who went abroad now regard Detroit as a city that must be visited, and how good it is to go there and see how capitalism has fallen.
But does this matter have anything to do with the U.S. election?
Let's put it this way, when Wu Xiang proposed the idea. John Boehner was confused at the time, because he couldn't imagine that this Detroit had anything to do with the election, let alone that this Detroit could help their Republican Party.
However, after listening to Wu Xiang's explanation, John Bonaco was happy.
What did Wu Xiang say?
In fact, this matter has to start with Comrade Guanhai.
Isn't Comrade Guanhai a very tough pass on an immigration bill?
This bill has caused great dissatisfaction among the Republican Party. Moreover, it has aroused the dissatisfaction of many people in the United States, and everyone blames Comrade Guanhai, you are just trying to get votes, so why is this?
It stands to reason. The United States is a country of immigrants, so the foundation of this country is immigration, and they should not refuse immigration. Right?
But!
In fact, this is not the case, and the United States has always had that kind of very conservative force. They rejected those immigrants, historically. There was the 'Know-Nothing' movement, and even later people formed political parties, but they soon ended up, but many of these party members joined the Republican Party.
This is the conservative force, or the Republican Party is a conservative!
To put it simply, that is, I am an American, so I naturally don't want others to become Americans, so isn't that a job with me?
Basically, it's the same idea that Japan and Hong Kong are afraid of competition.
So why does this still have to do with Detroit?
It really has something to do with Detroit, although this relationship is indirect, but the relationship must exist!
Trade unions, this word, if we Chinese hear it, it will definitely have a sense of intimacy, because we used to have many trade unions in China, and even a certain large organization liked to engage in this, but we are a little depressed, because our current enterprises, trade unions seem to have a very low sense of zài.
But in the United States, it's a different story!
Let's not talk about this difference, let's talk about why it has something to do with Detroit!
The union really has something to do with Detroit, because Detroit is a car company, and in the auto industry, there are strong trade unions, and this trade union organization, if we see the conditions they negotiate with these car companies in the United States, we will definitely be surprised.
Say a few words, and everyone will understand the relationship.
There is one article, about retirement, that is, American auto workers, can choose to retire at the age of 48 or so, and after retirement, they can get a pension, although this money is probably not as much as you can get when you retire at the age of 65.
This retirement seems like a good thing, doesn't it?
If he retires, what if the worker dies?
I'm sorry, but you still have to pay pensions to workers' widows in American car companies!
What about this condition?
So if the car company's factories are closed, it's really unsustainable, what will the workers do?
Sue you, it's actually very easy to do, the workers have guilds, they can continue to get paid, take 95% of the original salary, for 48 weeks, and after 48 weeks, they can go to a place called the Career Bank.
What is a professional bank?
It's a place where workers can go to that place to clock in normally, just like going to work, but they don't need to do anything, they can play chess, they can play cards, they can do whatever they want, and they can get 95% of their salary!
Still, car companies can't force these workers to work in other factories because the conditions state that they can't be sent to work 50 miles away.
This condition, this ...... I wiped it! I want to be unemployed! Is it true?
This is indeed true, but there is almost no information about the professional bank, but there is a book about it.
Hey, hey, hey, that book is called Once Upon a Time in Detroit.
It is estimated that many people will express such feelings, and they will even say that the United States is really a country of hope and heaven......
But in fact, if we think about it briefly, it is not difficult to come to an obvious conclusion: why did Detroit collapse?
Isn't it because of these strange conditions, isn't it because of the deposit of the trade union!(Want to know more exciting news about "Red Director"?Open WeChat now, click on the "+" sign in the upper right, select Add Friends to add the official account, search for "Qidianzhongwenwang", pay attention to the official account, and never miss every update!......)
