713 The new world entertainment giant is born
The $6.5 billion long-term loan was approved very quickly and at a favorable interest rate.
This time, Standard Chartered Bank borrowed $1.5 billion, HSBC borrowed $3.5 billion, and Bank of America borrowed $2.5 billion.
After Wu Yu talked about the future development of Universal Entertainment Group, Chen Hui handed over everything to Wu Yu.
····
At 8 o'clock in the evening, in the Victoria Building, the chief president's office, after Kazuo Hirai signed the contract, he respectfully bowed to Wu Yu and said, "Mr. Wu, we have a happy cooperation!"
The $6.5 billion in cash allows him to make drastic reforms of the Sony Group and cut production costs, the board of directors made a big noise about financing, and his resistance was very great, although Universal Entertainment Group acquired Columbia Pictures at a low price of $6.5 billion, and they Sony Group still lost a lot of money, but for the Sony Group, which is now heavily indebted and has suffered serious losses for 6 years, the $6.5 billion in cash can be restructured and reformed many businesses of the Sony Group.
He saw that Universal Entertainment Group was weak and was eager to enter Hollywood, and the only Hollywood entertainment company he could buy was Columbia Pictures, a subsidiary of their Sony Group, so he dared to open his mouth.
Wu Yu also smiled and said: "Happy cooperation, and I wish you an early return to the Sony Group!"
At this moment, Universal Entertainment Group has officially acquired Columbia Pictures!
At this moment, it also means that Universal Entertainment Group has officially entered Hollywood, and a new world entertainment giant has been born.
This Kazuo Hirai is not a simple character, when he has an advantage, he is extremely strong, but once he is weak, he grovels and apologizes, and he looks very respectful, this attitude is really annoying, but his heart is comfortable and comfortable.
However, Kazuo Hirai is not qualified to bow to Chen Shao, after all, he is too cheap!
That night, Universal Entertainment Group announced that it had acquired Columbia Pictures, a subsidiary of Sony Group, for $6.5 billion.
The Sony Group once again announced a major layoff! It immediately aroused strong dissatisfaction, because everyone endured the big layoffs last time, but this time it just sold $6.5 billion in assets, and it actually has to lay off employees.
Dongying's major media announced that Sony was about to file for bankruptcy for the first time.
"Dongying's manufacturing industry is completely weakened!"
"Sony sold its headquarters in New York for $1.1 billion, and now even Columbia Pictures has sold it!"
"Here at Sony, we don't see any hope at all!"
"Sony now owes $126 billion in debt, and has a net loss of more than $1 billion a year, so let's just sell all its assets to pay off the debt!"
"If you sell all your assets, you can't pay off your debts!"
"This damn Sony Group has announced layoffs again, and my husband is unemployed!"
"Sony Group is going to file for bankruptcy protection!"
"The fall of Sony is already an indisputable fact!"
Suddenly, some netizens posted a video "screenshot" of the news channel, saying that Sony officially filed for bankruptcy. In the screenshot, the main label of the news is "Sony Files for Bankruptcy", and the subtitle is "Sony's Electronics Business Collapses Across the Board", and the subtitles that are being broadcast show that "Sony's empire has collapsed, and the product has no bright spots".
When Microsoft acquired Nokia earlier, the news of Sony's bankruptcy was thrown out again. Many people posted this news in the circle of friends, but the picture is still the "screenshot".
Sony Group also announced the closure of factories in some Asian countries and the sale of some asset divisions.
Immediately, many experts, media, and commentators employed by Samsung, Apple, Google, and mainland manufacturers published articles that caused an uproar.
"Dongying Enterprise Collapse!"
"The Sony Empire is collapsing!"
·········
After all, Sony's quality problems continue to emerge, and over the past decade, Sony's huge corporate structure and octopus-like business variety have caused it to lag behind in technology and product development. Sony's consumer electronics business, such as TVs, game consoles, and mobile phones, has gradually eroded its market share by competitors.
Following the development of the PlayStation in 1994, Sony released almost no original products in the 10 years that followed. In the field of electronics, because the previously popular alkMan does not support MP3 format, Apple's iPod digital portable listening generation alkMan takes the lead and is selling well all over the world. In April 2003, Sony disclosed the company's financial annual statement of 2002 with a huge loss, which caused Sony's stock to fall 25% for two consecutive days.
In the years that followed, Sony continued to be mired in product quality problems. The "laptop battery" recall that shocked the industry has hurt Sony's vitality: about 4.1 million Dell lithium-ion batteries manufactured by Sony have been recalled by Dell and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. As a direct result of the battery problem, Sony's profit forecast for the 2006/2007 fiscal year was lowered by 62 percent.
Subsequently, there were mistakes in PS game console products, design defects in the motherboard of laptops, software problems in TVs, inexplicable shaking of the camera, abnormal heating of the computer, noisy built-in fans, and "water ripples" on the screen. Sony is like falling under a spell, and various quality problems continue to emerge, ranking at the forefront of consumer complaints.
The quality problem that plagued itself has not been sorted out, and Sony has been targeted by hackers again. In April 2011, Sony's PlayStation network was continuously hacked, and hackers obtained the information of 77 million PlayStation users. Sony eventually had to shut down the PlayStation network. This year, various reasons led to Sony's biggest loss in 16 years, and the originally expected net profit of $2 billion turned into a net loss of $6.4 billion in an instant, and Sony's market value was only a quarter of what it was 10 years ago.
In the era of independent operation of electrical appliances, Sony can be described as infinitely beautiful, but after entering the new era of Internet and digital product networking, Sony has lagged behind a lot. A number of emerging enterprises such as Microsoft, Intel, and Apple have risen rapidly through flexible management and organizational models, and have become industry rule-makers.
Sony's mindset of pursuing perfection and planning ahead has been greatly impacted in this complex, fast-paced, and ever-changing business society.
The Wall Street Journal once criticized: "Sony's core problem is that many of the emerging products that are too difficult for Sony require different technologies, such as hardware, software, content and services." These technologies are tightly guarded departments within Sony, and it is very difficult to get them to work together to achieve cross-domain results. In addition, the sheer size of the company, its overly complex and cumbersome structure was a distraction from Sony's efforts and resources.
···
This series of news caused Sony's stock price to plummet by more than 7 percent again, and its market value shrank sharply again! Sony's market value was only a pitiful $16.5 billion!
·
And Universal Entertainment Group has announced its entry into Hollywood in a high-profile manner! This time next year, Universal Entertainment Group will be listed in the United States!
Bring the essence of oriental culture to the world!
······
It also provoked a huge reaction in the United States, because the registered trademark of Colombia is none other than the Statue of Liberty in the United States.
"Lady Liberty was sold to the Chinese by the Dongying people!"
"Another invasion from the East!"
"Our Lady Liberty has been forced to cheat again!"
"It's not cheating, it's being sold by the 'Ji' girl on the spot!"
··
At midnight, Chen Hui, who was just about to rest, received a call from Ling Yu'er, and after connecting
Ling Yu'er immediately said, "Chen Xiaohui, let me tell you good news!"
Just a few hours ago, Universal Entertainment Group paid a huge amount of money to buy Columbia Pictures, a subsidiary of Sony Group!
Officially announced the birth of a new world entertainment giant, and now she is very happy as a member of the Universal Entertainment Group.
Her future development prospects are not ordinarily broad!
Nowadays, almost the entire artists of Universal Entertainment Group are boiling.
This time, Universal Entertainment Group spent $6.5 billion to buy Columbia Pictures, which means that their stage is even broader.
Chen Hui immediately smiled and said, "What good news? Come and share it with me in the middle of the night!"
Ling Yu'er was a little excited: "Chen Xiaohui, Hollywood's Columbia Pictures has just been acquired!"
Chen Hui immediately said: "Well, I didn't pay attention to the news."
Then Chen Hui muttered: "It's so fast!"
He didn't expect things to happen so quickly, he just talked on the phone during the day, and finalized it all at night, and made big news.
On the phone, Ling Yu'er said dissatisfiedly, "What's so fast?"
"Now Universal Entertainment Group has acquired Columbia Pictures!"
"Now it's the world's biggest entertainment company!"
Chen Hui immediately said 'um' and said, "Good news!"
Ling Yu'er continued to say proudly: "I am now the most, the most promising, and the most promising artist of Universal Entertainment Group!"
"You don't even pay attention to the news of Universal Entertainment at all!"
"That proves you don't care about me at all, am I right?"
"People like you who have never paid attention to the entertainment industry don't even know what entertainment giants are in Hollywood!"
"Chen Xiaohui, I'm one step closer to the goddess of the world, lalala!"
"Don't feel inferior in front of me in the future!"
"Chen Xiaohui, are you dumb?"
"Are you listening to me?"
"Chen Xiaohui, hurry up and speak!"
···
Chen Hui immediately said, "Listen, congratulations!"
"Don't worry, I won't be inferior in front of you!"
At this moment, Chen Hui wondered a little in his heart: "Why am I still the boss of the boss behind this entertainment giant!
"And I need to care so much about this big thing?"
The Universal Entertainment Group's acquisition of Columbia Pictures, a subsidiary of Sony Group, was originally made by him.
Ling Yu'er immediately said: "Even if you have low self-esteem, I don't mind, after all, I am such an excellent girl, it is normal for others to feel inferior in front of me!"
"Chen Xiaohui, in the future, your rival will definitely have ten more group armies"
"How's it going, aren't you jealous?"
"Do you like me?"
