Chapter 511: It's Time to Acquire Various Teams to Play With
"At present, it seems that 2.5 billion is a price acceptable to both parties, and the most important thing is that the negotiation team is trying to facilitate the acquisition, there are no competitors, and Marvel does not have a sky-high asking price on the price, which undoubtedly promotes the negotiation process. ”
Al was also very surprised that the negotiations with Marvel went so smoothly, and there was no dispute between the two sides at the negotiating table, and more focus has been on the final price.
Andy naturally understands why, it is undoubtedly Ike as the CEO and shareholder, even if it is acquired, his CEO position will still be preserved, and his own wealth can be extricated from this quagmire, and the most critical soul Stan Lee has also chosen to remain silent, which undoubtedly clears all acquisition obstacles.
"At the end of yesterday's negotiations, Marvel CEO Ike Pilmut invited our side to send a financial team to Marvel Entertainment Group to conduct a pre-acquisition financial check, I have agreed, I will send someone over this afternoon, and when the accountant finishes checking the accounts, we have almost completed the negotiation, and then the boss you only need to sign, and from then on Marvel Entertainment will belong to you. ”
Andy listened to Al's report, and couldn't help but feel a little excited, thinking about those superhero movies in his previous life, which swept the global box office every summer, and achieved the status of a big man in the Disney industry, and the box office revenue of billions of dollars per young man was outstanding.
Now everything has changed, he himself is about to complete the construction of an entertainment empire, of course, there may be a possibility, he can't help but have a reverie in the depths of his heart, but soon he chuckles and shakes his head.
"What is this?"
Andy curiously took the stack of papers that Al handed over, put the cigar in his hand on the crystal petal-shaped ashtray holder, and looked at Al and asked.
"A few selected modeling agencies, there are some good assets, our think tank suggests that the boss, take advantage of this crisis, as much as possible to buy some of the undervalued or even accidentally injured good assets, after all, a large amount of cash put there, will generate a lot of taxes, I think, boss, you will not be willing to cheap government. ”
Andy pouted as if he looked like this, he liked Ivana with a vivid expression, and he himself unconsciously liked to use expressions to express his feelings.
What is husband and wife? Two people have lived together for a long time, and their expressions and movements imitate each other, and they will become more and more similar.
"Vacation farms, mountain farms, commercial buildings, tsk, it's all land resources, well, and teams, the idea of your think tank is for me to build a sports operation company, right? Football, baseball, basketball, I understand all of this, what the hell is football in the United States? Why don't you take this opportunity to buy football teams in Spain and England, I love the subprime mortgage crisis!"
Andy looked up at Al as he flipped through the documents, with a happy smile on his face and a shiny white tooth.
"At the moment, the only areas we have chosen for sports are Texas and New York, after all, both of these places are based on local vote areas, which is a huge help to improve the goodwill of the Smith family among local voters. Al said the conclusion of the think tank's considerations.
"There's just a basketball team in Texas, the Rockets, and now it's owned by Alexander, do you think that with the Asian giants making him a lot of money, he will sell this cash cow-like team?"
"We've analyzed all the specifics of Alexander and the Los Angeles Clippers, as well as the Golden State Warriors, and perhaps the one who suffered the most from this financial crisis is Alexander, whose investment project seems to be very sound and reasonable, but under the storm, it is almost impossible to get out, and he is not a generous owner for the operation of the Rockets, I think if someone makes a bridge from it in his most difficult time, this thing is very likely to succeed. ”
Andy naturally hopes to have an influential team in Texas, the traditional sphere of influence of the Smith family, but he doesn't know if Alexander is willing to sell, after all, the current Da Yao is still in his playing years, and the huge market behind him is too rich.
"What about the Golden State Warriors?" Andy's future business map is still dominated by California, San Francisco, Silicon Valley, and perhaps the Warriors and Clippers are also good choices.
"The Golden State Warriors have created a black eight miracle in this year's playoffs, but they still can't get rid of the shadow of poor management, Chris Cohan spent $119 million to buy the team in '95, and I think the price of about 300 million should make him tempted.
The data shows that the income of the cable TV industry of the Cohan family has fallen sharply, and Sonic Communications, owned by Cohan, is in huge debt, after this storm, I think it will be more difficult, although the Warriors have played a highlight moment this year, but it is difficult to rise all year round, chaotic management and a series of misguided planning have pushed the team to the edge of the cliff, in the face of the shouting "Cohan get out" in Oracle Stadium, perhaps leaving the team he has been in charge of for 12 years has become an inevitable ending. ”
Andy expressed his satisfaction with the work of the think tank for being so meticulous, and after pondering for a while, he said: "Let's take the local team in Texas as the main direction of attack, the market value of the New York Knicks is inflated, and then the Lan family is not short of money, and they will not give up this nameplate in their hands." The Warriors make alternatives, and as for the Clippers, hehe, let's talk about it. ”
Nima, Los Angeles with Kobe Bryant, doesn't have the Clippers at all.
In his previous life, as a technical nerd, he was naturally the scum of the five scum in terms of sports, and he had the popularity of Da Yao's NBA, so he would naturally go to see it, after all, this is a talking point, and he can't show his backwardness when he chats between colleagues, well, he sees Kobe Bryant the most, after all, Kobe Bryant is the perfect show of the charm of basketball, don't say anything too unique.
Andy likes to watch the Black Mamba, the ball is passed to Kobe, Kobe layup, Kobe shot, Kobe hits the iron, Kobe breaks through, Kobe slams the dunk, what's the matter!
"There's nothing wrong with American football, during last year's World Cup, everyone was telling a joke, when the game was equalized, the Americans who watched the game in the bar were angry, loudly questioning the rules of the game, isn't the game just about winning and losing! !”
Andy said, not holding back his laughter, but laughing, because Alvitatre looked at him with a look on his face.
It wasn't until he saw that Alvitatre was a little uncomfortable laughing at him, that Andy slowly shook his head and stopped laughing, and said while laughing: "Look, the United States is a football desert, the ultimate retirement place for those world stars, isn't the Los Angeles Galaxy operating David Beckham to play in the United States recently? Maybe his arrival can also bring a little interest to Americans in team football, is there a football team in New York?"
"Well, yes, there's that New York Red Bulls, a football team that was bought by Red Bull last year, but it didn't do well. Since you don't have an interest in playing the U.S. soccer team, football and baseball need to be seriously considered. The Dallas Cowboys in Texas, known as the "American team" and with a large fan base, are currently valued at around $800 million, and the cost of acquisition is too high for the team owners to sell.
The New York Giants are a good target, the main thing is that the price is right, about $400 million can be completed to complete the acquisition, although the results are a bit bad, but New York's high-ticket market can meet self-financing, the most important point is that there are only two shareholders of this team, the Giants are owned by the Mara family most of the time, and in 1991, Preston Robert Tisch bought 50% of the shares. Last year, the team's chairman and president, Wellington Mara, passed away, and there was a struggle for power within the team, and there are plenty of opportunities to do so if you decide to do so. ”
"Well, it works, after all, rugby is the number one sport, why don't we want that world champion back!" Andy said and raised his eyebrows, anyway, the American Super Bowl is the world champion, and playing your own is also hilarious.
"Baseball, huh, why don't you have any information about the Yankees?" andy rummaged twice, then looked up at Al suspiciously.
The green tendons on Alvitatere's forehead jumped, the corners of his unnatural mouth twitched, and he said with a wry smile: "Boss, the market value of the New York Yankees is $3.4 billion... ”
Andy laughed embarrassedly, his own predecessor was a die-hard fan of the Yankees, and it seems that his money is still a bit small.
