I stayed with Zhao Yazhi for one night, and the next day, Xia took a car back to Los Angeles. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

At this time, the four major consulting companies had already written the project proposal and sent it to the summer.

Project proposal, including their solution to the problem, schedule, project budget, etc. Of course, this is only a simplified version, and a more detailed plan will be come up after the official signing.

Summer read the four proposals carefully.

To be honest, McKinsey, Bain, and Boston are internationally renowned consulting firms, and the proposals they give are very good, with examples, data, and they are very feasible at a glance. In comparison, the proposal made by the Blackstone Group is a little rougher, and it cannot be said in the same day.

Among the three consulting firms of McKinsey, Bain, and Boston, the Boston Consulting Group was the one in the summer. One is that it has the most feasible plan, the second is that the fee is reasonable, with a 12-person consulting team of only $100,000 per day, and the third is the most reasonable project budget.

McKinsey & Company has put a budget of $3.6 billion, including $2.3 billion for Coca-Cola shares. Bain & Company gave a budget of $3.2 billion, while the Boston Consulting Group gave a budget of $3.4 billion. All include the $1.3 billion debt that Columbia Pictures is saddled with.

Summer knew that in '82, Coca-Cola bought 90% of Columbia Pictures for $750 million, becoming its new owner.

Subsequently, Columbia Pictures merged with CBS and HBO Cable to form Samsung Pictures, which greatly enhanced Columbia Pictures' production capacity. has successively produced and launched blockbuster movies such as "Ghostbusters" and "My Fair Lady", but a lot of money-losing goods have been made.

In '84, CBS couldn't afford to lose money and quit Samsung Pictures. HBO also withdrew from Samsung Pictures this year, and Columbia Pictures later merged Samsung Pictures into its own company. In general, after Coca-Cola became the owner, the total assets of Columbia Pictures increased to a certain extent.

Currently, Columbia Pictures has a total market capitalization of $3 billion and a debt of $1.3 billion. Coca-Cola's 40 percent stake is currently worth $1.47 billion.

Based on the general premium of 30 to 40 percent for the acquisition, it is reasonable to pay Coca-Cola $2.1 billion. Combined with the debt, a total of $3.4 billion, is exactly the budget given by Boston.

And at this price, it is enough to cope with it in summer. Unlike in the previous life, Sony's acquisition of Colombia paid Coca-Cola $3.4 billion alone, which is simply a big injustice!

……

Summer chose the Boston Consulting Group, and then told Michelle to tell him to sign it, and the other three had to wait until next time.

"Michelle, go and apologize to them on my behalf, and tell them that although the cooperation cannot be achieved this time, there will be more opportunities to cooperate in the future. "Summer Road.

Michelle nodded, called the three companies in turn, and then asked someone from the Boston Consulting Group to sign the contract.

At this point, the legal team, banking group, public relations team, and advisory group required for the acquisition were officially completed.

In addition, Summer secretly instructed Robertson to hire an evaluation team to oversee the acquisition.

Because this acquisition is the largest acquisition he has initiated, involving billions of dollars. The stakes are at stake.

After all, he didn't want to spend half a billion dollars on this company like Morita Schauo. seems to be domineering, but in fact, he is so stupid that he spends more money and is regarded as a Kaizi.

……

The Hilton Hotel hosted a cocktail party for four teams in the summer.

"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for coming, I am pleased to announce that the acquisition team has officially completed and the acquisition has officially begun!" Xia raised his glass and said loudly, "Cheers, everyone! Have a fun time today! From tomorrow, I hope you will be in good spirits and go all out to help me complete this acquisition!"

Four teams with more than fifty people. In addition, there are thirty beautiful and sexy female models, which are specially invited to cheer up the reception. Because money, power, and sex have been the greatest sources of motivation for people since ancient times.

Summer hopes that the acquisition team can devote themselves to this acquisition with the fullest enthusiasm. For this reason, he did not hesitate to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to settle the joints, did not hesitate to offer high commissions to these teams, and of course, did not hesitate to invite beautiful female models to stimulate their nerves.

Sure enough, everyone present cheered when they heard Summer say this. The atmosphere was very warm.

Summer smiled, and then, accompanied by the heads of the four major teams, drank with each team member in turn to show concern and attention. This is the way of the king.

If you want to make people work hard, you can't just have money and beauty, the key is to talk about your heart. Let them know that they value them and respect their work, so that they are more motivated.

To be honest, the effect of this incentive is much better than simply throwing money. Because the people who can join the team are talents, they can make money anywhere, but they may not be respected.

Although the United States is regarded as a business society that looks at money for everything, in fact, since the 80s, the corporate world has set off a "corporate culture fever", corrected the shortcomings of "scientific management", and devoted itself to satisfying the needs of employees' self-esteem and self-realization.

For example, Google in the United States allows employees to bring pets to work, while Blizzard will reward employees with different souvenirs after many years of employment.

Sure enough, seeing Summer toast to himself, many of these team members were flattered.

These people are all elites in the industry, born in prestigious schools, with good incomes and brilliant achievements, and they are the best in the eyes of people. But compared to summer, they are nothing more than a drop in the bucket.

Summer is so young, he already has a net worth of more than $3 billion, which is really remarkable. And once this acquisition is successful, the assets under his control will be as high as 10 billion US dollars, and he has achieved such an achievement at a young age, he can be called a business wizard, an idol in their hearts. Now that they can get close to this idol, of course they are very happy.

In addition to their happiness, those beautiful female models are also frequently discharged in the summer, hoping to win his favor.

You must know that Summer is not only a billionaire, but more likely to be the future ruler of Columbia Pictures. And what these girls want is to be famous and make money. If they are favored by the summer and star in a movie, TV series or something in the future, it is much better than them being business models.

However, in the summer, he rejected these golden cats, not because he was fake and pretending to be a saint, but because these golden cats were too low-grade and not worth his favor.

……

After the reception, take a break in the summer and then take a bus to CNN to participate in the recording of "The Larry King Live Show".

Since announcing the acquisition of Hollywood Studios in the summer, many media outlets have rushed to ask him for an exclusive interview to dig deeper into the cause and effect of the whole thing.

However, because I don't know what the position of these media is, whether their statements will be distorted and reported, causing greater misunderstandings, so the summer has been politely refusing interviews from various media.

It was only now, with the help of the PR team, that Summer finally identified friend and foe, knew which media agreed with him and which media were firmly opposed, and dared to accept media interviews.

The reason why he accepted the interview with the media was to make it clear to the American people, eliminate misunderstandings, resolve contradictions, and ease the pressure of public opinion.

It was not an easy task to acquire Hollywood Studios, a symbol of American culture.

There is a lot to do in the summer, not only to balance the federal government, the state government, the senators, the House of Representatives, but also the unions, the media, and the ignorant people. In the United States, the power of trade unions is strong. Especially in Hollywood, the appeal of trade unions is even more amazing.

In the past, when Chinese companies made overseas acquisitions, the failure rate was more than 70%, because there was a lack of sufficient communication, which made people hesitate about their acquisitions, so the opposition was higher and higher.

For example, BAIC's acquisition of Opel was too extensive in the acquisition process, and it did not appease the union or convince the German government, so its overseas mergers and acquisitions ultimately failed.

Summer doesn't want to repeat the mistakes of the past, so everything wants to be perfect.

In addition to his appearance on "The Larry King Live Show", which is a highly rated show, he explained to the American people the reasons for his acquisition and the benefits of the acquisition. In terms of media and trade unions, the public relations team will also help him with public relations.

……

"Xia, you're here again!" Larry King said with a smile when he saw Summer.

"Mr. Kim, long time no see!" said Summer with a smile and a hug to him.

"You're getting better and better now, it's crazy to buy a Hollywood studio!" Larry King then laughs.

The last time I came in the summer, it was to promote the movie "Ghost Love". At that time, he also had to attach himself to Warner Bros. and entrust them to help distribute the film.

Now, less than four months later, he has come to buy the six major Hollywood studios on a par with Warner. Sounds incredible.

"Nothing in this world is impossible. Summer smiled and said, "As long as you dare to think and dare to do, you will succeed!"

"Makes sense. Larry King smiled and nodded, "Then can you tell me in advance which film company you want to acquire?"

"I'll tell you now, where will the surprise come from? I think I'm waiting for the show to be recorded, I'm telling you to know. Summer laughed.

When Larry King heard this, he smiled and nodded, "Clever lad!"
