After the hosts Liu Zhirong and Wu Junru took the stage, they began to invite today's beauties to appear. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Weng Meixue, Xu Xiaohe, Li Liru, Feng Xiaoxiao...... A group of beauties dressed up in costumes appeared one after another, showing their charming demeanor to the judges and the audience in front of the TV.

"Please invite the ninety-seventh beauty Li Jiaxin to appear!" Wu Junru then said.

"Ah, our Jiaxin is coming out. Sister Wu said excitedly.

"Yes!" Wang Qixian nodded, and said expectantly, "I wonder how she behaved today?"

She was originally indifferent to Li Jiaxin, and even had a sense of rejection of "both Shengyu and He Shengliang". However, she can't stand the fact that there is a sister Wu in the family, and she is in her ears every day, so that she also begins to have a good impression of this beautiful girl.

Speaking of which, although Li Jiaxin is beautiful, her life is much worse than her. I didn't have a father since I was a child, and I relied on my mother and sister for my life, and I had to be a model to supplement my family when I was a teenager, which is really pitiful.

In the summer, I also opened my eyes curiously, and I really wanted to see Li Jiaxin's demeanor. I don't know if she has been studying with the teacher for a few months, and has achieved the effect of being reborn.

Seeing that Li Jiaxin was about to come out, at this time, the big brother in summer suddenly rang out, disturbing everyone's attention all of a sudden.

"Hey, who's calling so late?" Summer was stunned for a moment, frowned, and then picked up the phone.

"Boss, it's me, Michelle, things are getting a little bad. I just received the news that Sony has proposed an acquisition of Columbia Pictures. Michelle said anxiously to Summer.

"Sure enough, it's coming!" Summer heard this, and her heart suddenly chuckled.

What he is most worried about is that someone will bid him for Columbia Pictures halfway. Especially a company like Sony, which is rich and powerful and has great ambitions for the entertainment industry, is what he is most worried about and worried.

Because the average person, if it is only for investment, like the casino tycoon Kirk Kercorion, who bought MGM Pictures, as long as he raises the purchase price, he is likely to retreat.

But Sony, unlike others, did not acquire Columbia-Samsung Pictures just for a momentary benefit, but because of the strategic importance of Hollywood's intellectual property in the future business war.

Sony's foundation is "audio-visual entertainment", and its Walkman, DVD player, TV, game console, camcorder, etc., are all designed to give the public a better audio-visual entertainment enjoyment.

Hollywood's film and television resources are unique and the most valuable audio-visual entertainment resources in the world, so Morita Schoo will have a discerning eye and strive to buy it.

In this way, even if he raised the price, Morita Shofu would not give up easily.

In his previous life, he spent nearly $5 billion to acquire Columbia Pictures. And even after a huge loss of three billion dollars, he still did not give up. It can be seen that the value of Columbia Pictures in the heart of Morita Schauf is definitely more than eight billion US dollars.

If you fight a price war with him in the summer, it is estimated that you will definitely not be able to compete with him. Not just because Sony is richer than him, but more importantly, Morita Schov's determination to buy Colombia is greater than him.

Now it's a problem!

……

Summer was depressed, so I heard Wang Jixian shout crisply, "Brother Tian, come and see, Miss Li has appeared~"

"See for yourselves, I'm going to call. Summer waved his hand and said angrily, how can he still be in the mood to look at beautiful women now.

Wang Qixian was stunned for a moment when he saw that the tone of his speech was wrong, and then hurriedly lowered the volume of the TV, followed by his ears, and eavesdropped on the summer call.

I heard Xia say, "Then do you have any contingency plans?"

"English?!Sister Wu, can you understand what Brother Tian said?" Wang Qixian was stunned for a moment, and asked Sister Wu suspiciously.

Although she has accompanied Summer to play abroad many times, she still doesn't know anything about English.

Sister Wu nodded. Her ex-husband is Portuguese, and in addition to speaking Chinese, Portuguese, and English, she also speaks some foreign languages. At that moment, she translated what Xia Xia said to Wang Qixian.

"What emergency plan?!What is the emergency plan?" Even after listening to Sister Wu's translation, Wang Qixian was still confused and couldn't figure out what was going on. But it's not supposed to be talking about women, since that's the case, there's nothing to worry about.

"Okay, no matter, let's watch TV. Wang Qixian then waved his hand.

"Boss, we have done a war game before, and if there is a third party involved in the bidding, we propose to raise the purchase price to $3.6 billion to force the third party back. Michelle replied, "If a third party bids higher than that, I would recommend abandoning the acquisition." Because the price of $3.6 billion is far more than the actual value of Colombia. ”

"Can we only fight a price war?" said Xia Xia with a frown when he heard this.

He knew that the price of $3.6 billion would definitely not scare Morita Shove. Even if it is four billion or five billion dollars, it is unlikely to scare him away. Therefore, it is useless to fight a price war, and can only give Colombia to Sony.

"Boss, price war is the most effective way. According to our inference, the amount of money that Sony acquired Columbia Pictures should not be too large.

They are still buying Columbia Records, and although the exact price is not yet known, it is rumored to have exceeded $1.5 billion, which is already equivalent to three years of Sony's profits.

If it buys Columbia Pictures again, I am afraid it will be burdened with heavy debt. Even if Morita Shofu is determined, it is estimated that the shareholders will vigorously oppose it.

So as long as we raise the price, I believe Sony will definitely retreat. Michelle analyzed.

……

Although Sony is the world's most well-known electronics manufacturer with revenues of nearly $50 billion, it does not mean that it is not short of money. In fact, Sony is desperately short of money.

In order to avoid trade frictions, it has invested in factories all over the world. In this way, import restrictions can be bypassed, sales of products can be increased, and the market can be expanded.

Moreover, its product line is too long, from cameras to recorders, from televisions to game consoles...... There are so many products that need to be developed and improved, and every new product that requires a large investment.

So while Sony earns more, it actually spends more. Although the annual revenue is nearly $50 billion, the net profit is only $600 million.

The acquisition of Columbia Records would cost it three years of net profits. If it buys Columbia Pictures again, it will pay six or even seven years of net profits. Carrying such a big burden on your back is not an easy task even for Sony.

"You don't know the Japanese corporate culture. Family management is popular in Japanese companies, and the president is the head of the family, and he has a high level of authority. If Morita Schov insisted on buying Columbia, it would be difficult for the other shareholders of the company to convince him. Summer waved his hand.

He has traveled to Japan many times in the past few years and has a certain understanding of Japanese culture. I know a lot about Morita Shof's position at Sony.

In his previous life, when Morita Sauf acquired Columbia Pictures, he was determined to go his own way and acquire Columbia Pictures at a sky-high price of five billion US dollars. So it's not easy to count on Sony's shareholders to stop him.

"If that's the case, boss, you give us a little more time, and we'll draw up another plan as soon as possible. Michelle saw that after Xia rejected her proposal to fight a price war, Michelle had no choice but to say again.

"Well, you go and talk to Morita Shofu and suggest that the two of us make a joint acquisition. Summer thought for a moment.

He had a different purpose than Morita Shov in buying Colombia. He hopes to use Hollywood's distribution channels to expand the Hong Kong film market. Morita Shofu hopes to sell his electronic products with the help of Hollywood's film and television resources. Therefore, there is no major conflict of interest between the two, and they can join forces to acquire and make a fortune together!

And he has done a lot of work in advance to level the political parties, trade unions, and media in the United States, and if Sony joins forces with him, he will do a lot less.

In addition, if the two companies make a joint acquisition, they also save each other money.

If Morita Schaufu had been wise, he would have chosen this path.

"Okay, boss. Hearing Summer say this, Michelle nodded.

……

In the summer, she then told Michel about the conditions of the joint acquisition and the minimum bottom line, and asked her to talk to Morita Shofu about it, and she knew how to make a trade-off.

After finishing the phone, an hour and a half had passed, and the tenth game of the Asian sister beauty pageant semifinals had ended.

"Brother Tian, drink a cup of tea to moisten your throat. Wang Qixian poured him a cup of tea, "What's wrong, what's wrong, who are you talking to on the phone, saying so long?"

"Just had a phone call with Michelle in the United States, and our acquisition is in trouble. Summer happened to be thirsty, and after drinking tea, he explained to her.

"But don't worry, I have a solution. Summer waved his hand and smiled, "By the way, the game is over, who will make it to the finals?"

"yes, it just ended, but unfortunately you didn't see it. Wang Qixian nodded, "Miss Li and Miss Qiu entered the finals." Actually, I think Weng Meixue is more beautiful, and I don't understand how she could lose to Qiu Shuzhen. ”

"Hey, aesthetics is inherently subjective. There is a Hamlet in the hearts of a thousand people, and it's good that you can take a fancy to one. Summer smiled and comforted, "Okay, it's not early, let's rest." ”

Knowing that Li Jiaxin and Qiu Shuzhen successfully entered the finals, his mood suddenly brightened, and the haze that had just shrouded his heart was swept away.

……

The next day, when I got up for dinner in the summer, I saw that the newspaper was reporting on the twenty beauties who entered the finals of the Asian sister. Among them, Li Jiaxin and Qiu Shuzhen have very high calls for awards.

Just as he was looking at it happily, suddenly Big Brother rang again.

Xia picked it up and listened to it, but heard Zhou Liang Shuyi say anxiously, "Mr. Xia, it's not good, someone broke the scandal of Qiu Shuzhen's plastic surgery to the media!"
