712 people are invincible when they are cheap, I like to watch him so cheap!
When Wu Yu heard about the $6 billion, he immediately said: "They bite the price of $8 billion, Chen Shao, if it is $6 billion, they will probably not sell it."
When Chen Hui heard this, he smiled and said: "Old Wu, now the market value of the entire Sony Group is only 17.8 billion US dollars, and the debt is 126 billion US dollars, what confidence can they have to make Columbia Pictures ask for 8 billion US dollars!"
"These $8 billion are worth almost half of the market value of the entire Sony Group!"
"It's better for me to buy the entire Sony Group outright!"
"You call the president of Sony Group now, just $6 billion!"
Of course, Chen Hui will not buy the entire Sony Group, unless he has his brain pumped, after all, the Sony Group has a debt of 126 billion US dollars, and the acquisition of Sony Group means that it will also help Sony Group bear the debt of 126 billion US dollars!
Sony Group gave it to Chen Hui for free, and Chen Hui didn't want it!
Even if he can bring the Sony Group back to life in the future, the $126 billion debt, even if the Sony Group repays $3 billion a year, it will take 40 years for the Sony Group to pay off these debts!
Sony Group naturally knew the ambitions of Universal Entertainment Group, so the lion opened his mouth and shouted out the sky-high price of $8 billion!
After all, in 1989, Sony Group bought Hollywood film company Columbia for nearly $5 billion, of which $3.4 billion was purchased from Coca-Cola, and Columbia took on $1.6 billion in collateral debt. So a total of $5 billion was spent!
On the cover of Newsweek, the Statue of Liberty of Columbia, a registered trademark of Columbia Pictures, was replaced by a geisha wearing a kimono and smiling lewdly, as a way to express Americans' anger at the acquisition of Columbia, which symbolizes the spirit of American film and television culture.
If Chen Hui buys Columbia Pictures, he will naturally want to rebuild Columbia!
When Wu Yu heard this, he immediately nodded solemnly and said, "Chen Shao, I'll fight now!"
So Wu Yu directly called Kazuo Hirai, the person who negotiated last time.
Kazuo Hirai is the CEO of Sony Group and is currently holding a press conference in Toei.
Kazuo Hirai said: "It's time for Sony to make a change. He looks directly at the camera and makes a gesture of always being first: "I believe Sony has the power to make a difference." ”
"A lot of people think that this game is almost over, and there is still no sign of Sony rebounding!"
"But I can tell these people to come back in a few years and see what they said!"
"In the future, they will find out that they are very stupid!"
··
At this time, he learned the phone call of Wu Yu, president of Universal Entertainment Group, and immediately ended the press conference in a hurry, before he had been biting the price, but his heart was very worried, at present, Sony Group is in urgent need of change, urgent need for restructuring, and needs a lot of cash, but at present, Sony Group's capital chain is in short supply, financing is also difficult, and the board of directors often makes a lot of noise and fights.
Wu Yu of Universal Entertainment Group wants to buy Sony's entertainment business, but Sony Group once spent $5 billion to buy Columbia Pictures, and after so many years, this $5 billion must be worth at least $8 billion according to inflation, so he bites the price of $8 billion!
Now Wu Yu came again, he felt that the next $8 billion was promising, and he was extremely excited in his heart, with a slight smile on his face.
He snorted lightly twice and said to his assistant, "Connect the phone for me!"
"Haha, Wu Yu still obediently compromised this time, 8 billion US dollars can't be less!"
"I won't give him any less!"
Several assistants immediately patted their ass and said: "President, you are really a master negotiator, in this case, you can still sell for a sky-high price of 8 billion US dollars!"
Kazuo Hirai's expression was flat, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he was extremely happy in his heart, and immediately said: "I'm not a master negotiator, it's just that Wu Yu of the Universal Entertainment Group is too stupid!"
"I knew that Universal Entertainment Group was very eager to enter Hollywood, and I heard that they have a lot of money and a lot of money, but they are stupid!"
"Maybe that's the best proof of that!"
"Haha!" the assistants burst out laughing.
Kazuo Hirai immediately turned pale and said, "Be quiet, others will hear it!"
Saying that Kazuo Hirai answered the phone with a smile, he immediately said: "Mr. Wu, how did you think about it last time?"
That tone is the way the other party can't bargain!
Wu Yu said on the phone: "Kazuo Hirai, 6 billion US dollars, I will only give this price!"
Kazuo Hirai's face froze, his smile stopped, he calmed his heart for a moment, and said seriously: "I'm sorry, Mr. Wu, 8 billion US dollars can't be missing!"
On the phone, Wu Yu scolded, "Kazuo Hirai, you idiot!"
"$8 billion, it's almost time to buy Sony Group!"
"Are you a fool when you think of Lao Tzu?"
"Are you a pig?"
"Lao Tzu can buy a controlling stake in the entire Sony Group for $9 billion!"
"How stupid are you to think I'm going to spend $8 billion on Columbia Pictures, a Sony group!"
"If you don't sell it, I'll spend $9 billion to buy a controlling stake in Sony Group, and Columbia Pictures will still be our Universal Entertainment Group!"
"I'll fire you on the board first!"
"What the hell are you!"
"Let me ask you, do you sell or not?"
"Don't think that your foundation is clean, when the time comes, Lao Tzu will sue you in the name of Sony Group as soon as possible, and you will be ruined!"
··
Wu Yu scolded on the phone, the previous two times he went to see Kazuo Hirai was angry by Kazuo Hirai, but he was in a hurry to buy Columbia Pictures, Wu Yu endured it at that time, and this time he couldn't bear it anymore.
Now with Chen Shao's acquiescence, he is not worried at all!
·····
Kazuo Hirai was stunned at the moment, his face was purple and good-looking, and the assistants around him were also extremely embarrassed.
The face hurts hotly.
Kazuo Hirai's face was gloomy,
On the one hand, it is trapped in the sluggish growth of the hardware business, the innovation is no longer what it used to be, and Sony's overall strength has declined seriously.
On the other hand, although it has not interfered much in Colombia's operations, its film business has become more and more weak in recent years. Although Columbia Pictures itself is profitable, it is still not enough for Sony's huge system, and with the current market, if it can be sold for $7 billion, it will be more conducive for Sony to streamline its business and return to the core.
He lowered his tone this time and said, "Mr. Wu is very sorry, I want you to apologize for my previous faux pas!"
"Please forgive me for my rudeness"
"After all, Columbia Pictures, a subsidiary of Sony Group, was sold by us at a sky-high price"
··
At this moment, Chen Hui suddenly laughed because Wu Yu was turning on the amplification and listening to Kazuo Hirai's words, so he made a gesture to Wu Yu.
Wu Yu immediately said: "Don't talk nonsense, just one word, to sell or not to sell?"
On the phone, Kazuo Hirai was silent for a long time, and said frankly: "Mr. Wu, let me tell you directly, we have discussed directly on the board of directors, and the low price that can be given is 6.5 billion US dollars, if you can't accept this price, I have no right to talk to you anymore."
"Thank you for your understanding"
The board of directors of Sony Group has already discussed this matter, and the low price they can accept is $6.5 billion, but Kazuo Hirai has been biting on $8 billion, because he knows that Universal Entertainment Group is eager to enter Hollywood, so he naturally wants to ask for more.
I didn't expect Wu Yu to be so strong, and dare to spend $9 billion to buy Sony Group, then fire him, and then sue him.
···
Wu Yu looked at Chen Hui, looked at Chen Hui and nodded, so he said to Kazuo Hirai on the phone: "That's 6.5 billion US dollars!"
Kazuo Hirai immediately said respectfully: "'Okay, I'll go to Xiangjiang to sign a contract with you! When are you free?"
At Chen Hui's signal, Wu Yu continued: "I only have time tonight!"
Kazuo Hirai immediately said, "Then I will fly to Xiangjiang immediately, you wait for me! You must wait for me!", after ending the call, Kazuo Hirai immediately said to his assistants: "Now immediately rush to Xiangjiang!"
"Yes, President!"
···
At this moment, Standard Chartered Building, Chen Hui sneered: "This Hirai Kazuo is really able to bend and stretch, and when he finds that the signs are wrong, he immediately apologizes grovelly, this Dongying devil really has a set of business!"
"If a person is cheap, he is invincible, I like to watch him so cheap!"
This Kazuo Hirai brought the Sony Group back to life, but now the Sony Group is facing the most difficult moment.
Wu Yu immediately said respectfully: "Chen Shao, thanks to your support, otherwise this Hirai Kazuo is really difficult to deal with!"
"This slut is really shameless!"
After thinking about it, Wu Yu continued: "Chen Shao, the acquisition cash of our Universal Entertainment Group this time is not enough for 6.5 billion US dollars, and we need the support of the Xiangjiang Consortium Council, you see?"
Chen Hui thought for a while and said, "Let's take a loan from Standard Chartered Bank, HSBC, and Bank of America!"
"I'll give a good interest rate!"
At present, the cash of the Heung Kong consortium is ready to be used to purchase the core industries of Laixia, and it is enough to have the financial support of HSBC, Standard Chartered Bank and Bank of America anyway.
When there is no money to expand, it is natural to find loans from banks.
Other companies want to borrow at such a preferential interest rate but it won't work, and a loan will kill in minutes!
But Universal Entertainment Group is different, relying on the Hong Kong Consortium, Standard Chartered Bank, HSBC, and Bank of America.
It has a huge financial backing.
Previously, Huangcheng International also entered the Macau gambling industry with a loan from HSBC!
Wu Yu immediately said: "Okay, Chen Shao!"
Wu Yu immediately contacted Standard Chartered Bank, HSBC, Bank of America, and the three banks jointly loaned $6.5 billion to Universal Entertainment Group.
The $6.5 billion long-term loan was approved very quickly and at a favorable interest rate.
