Metropolitan Communications really didn't expect MGM to be so impatient, and he pretended to be forced so lightly, and actually scared them away - it was so embarrassing.

However, since it was forced by himself, and now that this incident has caused this "bitter fruit", then he has to swallow it even if he is kneeling.

Therefore, after Peter Chernin and Shirley Lansing hit the nail and returned to Los Angeles, Metropolitan Communications immediately became anxious, knowing that they were waiting for the money to "continue their lives".

Besides, what does this mean? It's over after you flirt with your buddy? Although it's true, the buddy was a little arrogant at the time, but it won't scare him away all of a sudden, right? Don't you even know about the three visits to the thatched house?

However, the wood has been completed, and now everything is used, so I can only do it without this face.

In desperation, Metropolitan Communications came to the door on its own, and continued to show goodwill to Peter Chernin and Shirley Lansing—to have a good talk about ABC.

Fuck, as soon as they got the kindness released by Metropolitan Communications, Peter Chernin and Shirley Lansing couldn't help but curse secretly - really cheap, I didn't give my face before, but now I don't give my face and come to the door by myself - do you say it's cheap?

However, although they suddenly changed from the underdog to the advantage, Peter Chening and Shirley Lansing did not have the slightest arrogance, and only agreed to negotiate with the acquisition of Metropolitan Communications after gently pinching it.

As a result, MGM's acquisition of ABC was restarted after a hiatus of just a few days. However, this time the offense and defense were mutually exchanged, and MGM suddenly changed from a poor "away team" to a "home team" with a huge advantage.

This time, the ABC acquisition was negotiated not in New York, home of Metropolitan Communications, but in Los Angeles, MGM's home turf.

In this way, it is very beneficial to MGM's negotiations, but it can be regarded as a bitter for Su Chenyu, because this guy has just arrived in New York, and he is sticky with Ye Jingxian. Who knows, the Metropolitan Communications Company actually says that it will change, and whether there is a rhythm in the end?

Well, suddenly remembering this stubble, Su Chenyu could only pinch his nose and admit it, honestly became a trapeze, and rushed back to MGM headquarters in Los Angeles from New York.

After tossing back and forth for a while, MGM and Metropolitan Communications finally sat down at the negotiating table, and it is estimated that no one would have thought that soon, the two sides would stage a "shocking" drama for everyone.

In order to sell ABC for a good price, Benjamin Graves, CEO of Metropolitan Communications, came to Los Angeles to compete with Peter Chernin and Shirley Lansing.

Shaking hands with Benjamin Graves with a smile, Peter Chernin smiled and said, "Benjamin, it's a pleasure to have you in Los Angeles!"

"No way, it's all for the company. Smiling helplessly, Benjamin Graves said, "Peter, Shirley, I won't leave you two this time." ”

Listening to Benjamin Graves's words, Shirley Lansing smiled and said, "Benjamin, when the time comes, you don't think we're heavy." ”

"Okay, let's get started. ”

As the top entrepreneurs in the American business world, Peter Chening and Shirley Lansing are obviously familiar with Benjamin Graves, and even have a pretty good relationship. However, since each is now its own master, and after sitting at the negotiating table, it is natural to "deny the six relatives".

"Benjamin, I don't think I need to say more, right? Our goal at MGM is very simple, we want to get all the shares of ABC from Metropolitan Communications. ”

didn't go around in any circles, Peter Chenin directly expressed his intention as soon as he came up, besides, MGM's intentions have always been on the table, and it can be said that Sima Zhao's heart is well known to passers-by.

Listening to Peter Chenin's words, Benjamin smiled slightly, and then said: "Peter, ABC is one of the main profit points of Metropolitan Communications, and we ......"

With a wave of his hand, Shirley Lansing directly interrupted Benjamin Graves's words, and said impatiently: "Benjamin, we are all sensible people, there is no need to detour like this, as for whether ABC is one of the main profit points of Metropolitan Communications, I believe you know better than us." ”

"Let's just make an offer!"

Well, although he was ruthlessly interrupted by Shirley Lansing, and debunked the "true face", Benjamin Graves did not feel embarrassed at all, it seemed to be a fairly normal thing.

Under the gaze of Peter Chening and Shirley Lansing, Benjamin Graves muttered for a while and said, "$25 billion!"

Fuck, after hearing Benjamin Graves' number, Peter Chernin and Shirley Lansing thought they were hallucinating, so they looked at Benjamin Graves opposite as if they were looking stupid, to see if he was crazy?

After more than a minute of silence in the room, Peter Chernin said with a playful expression: "Hehe, Benjamin, did you not wake up this morning?

"$25 billion, where do you get the confidence that ABC is worth the price?"

To be honest, Benjamin Graves naturally knows that the price of $25 billion is quite outrageous, but there is no way, and now Metropolitan Communications really needs money - the more the merrier.

Therefore, there was originally a principle of three rods without dates, and Benjamin Graves directly offered this sky-high price of 25 billion - he didn't expect MGM to agree at all. However, to be a human being, you have to pursue it a little, in case Peter Chernin and Shirley Lansing's brains were kicked by a donkey, and they really agreed to come down.

There is no doubt that Peter Chernin and Shirley Lansing were not kicked in the head by a donkey, nor were they caught by the big iron gate, so they directly opened a wave of taunting skills against him.

It didn't matter, Benjamin Graves had lost his heart for the money, so he continued to force an explanation: "Of course, I think ABC is definitely worth the price. You must know that ABC, as one of the three major broadcasters in the United States, has more than 200 TV stations that cover the entire United States, and its many ace programs occupy considerable ratings in the market. The most important thing is that ABC's current financial situation is quite good, and MGM will definitely greatly expand its own strength once it eats into ABC. ”

"Really?" Listening to Benjamin Graves's Wang Po selling melons, Shirley Lansing, a "female man", hit him mercilessly: "According to our survey, ABC's ratings and market share are now among the three major broadcasters in the United States, but the existence is at the bottom, not only can not compare with NBC and CBS, but even Fox TV Network and Turner TV Network have a tendency to surpass him. ”

"In addition, ABC's financial situation is not as good as you say, although there are no losses, but it can only maintain self-sufficiency, and it will definitely not be the main profit point of Metropolitan Communications as you said. ”

Taking Shirley Lansing's words, Peter Chernin continued: "The main thing is that the current situation of Metropolitan Communications can be said to be difficult to protect itself. So, Benjamin, don't say anything useless, $25 billion is absolutely impossible, and buying CBS or NBC is more than enough. ”

After listening to Peter Chenin and Shirley Lansing's blows, Benjamin Graves smiled awkwardly and said, "$20 billion, that's the lowest price we can accept for MetCommunications." ”

This is the right offer, this is a relatively normal offer, although the price of $20 billion is still a bit inflated, but at least it is normal - as for the figure of $25 billion, hehe, what the hell is that?

Peter Chernin and Shirley Lansing looked at each other and made MGM's first round offer: "$17 billion." ”

As soon as he heard that Peter Chernin would cut $3 billion as soon as he opened his mouth, Benjamin Graves hurriedly shouted: "Impossible, the price of $17 billion is definitely an insult to ABC, the great broadcaster, and Metropolitan Communications will never accept this price." ”

"Benjamin, ABC is worth about $12 billion at most, and the $17 billion offered by our MGM is already sky-high. ”

"Besides, Metropolitan Communications only spent $3.5 billion to buy ABC back then, and now it has multiplied several times, and you are not satisfied?"

No matter what Peter Chernin and Shirley Lansing say, Benjamin Graves is the one who said, "This price is absolutely impossible!"

As a result, the negotiations were so deadlocked, and in desperation, the two sides could only temporarily end this first negotiation and wait for everyone to calm down before talking.

As soon as the negotiations ended, Peter Chernin and Shirley Lansing immediately reported the matter to Su Chenyu, who had been hiding in MGM's headquarters and controlling the matter behind the scenes. Regarding the sky-high price of $20 billion offered by MetCommunications, Su Chenyu actually doesn't think it's outrageous, because in his previous life, Disney spent $19 billion to acquire ABC in 1995.

Therefore, in order to avoid long nights and dreams, and even more so to avoid the wheel of history repeating the trajectory of the previous life, Su Chenyu directly instructed Peter Chenin and Shirley Lansing - as long as it does not exceed 19 billion US dollars, they can agree.

So, at the beginning of the second round of negotiations, Peter Chening and Shirley Lansing did not talk nonsense, and directly raised the original offer by 1 billion to 18 billion dollars. However, Benjamin Graves still didn't seem to be satisfied, so he continued to bargain.

Finally, after several rounds of negotiations, MGM and Metcom formally reached an agreement, and a big deal that shocked the world was officially born - the sky-high $18.5 billion acquisition of ABC.

At this point, a world-class super media group was officially born......
