Text Chapter 703 The first A-League champion
For $18.5 billion, MGM pocketed ABC.
This news exploded on Wall Street and the world media industry like a nuclear bomb, directly blowing up countless people - no way, this news is too powerful.
ABC, one of the three major commercial broadcasters in the United States, has a high position not only in the United States and the whole of North America, but also in the world media industry.
So, when the news of ABC's acquisition by MGM spread, many people's first reaction was not to believe it at all, and the second reaction was still - not to believe it. It's very simple, who would have thought that a baby snake would eat an elephant all the time? MGM's acquisition of ABC is a "snake swallowing an elephant."
Yes, in the eyes of many people, MGM is indeed very awesome, especially in the past few years, MGM Pictures has won the annual box office championship one after another, and it is faintly the king of Hollywood's largest film industry. However, after overvaluing MGM with full calculations, his market value is only around $13 billion - stronger than Paramount, which was previously acquired by Lei Shidong.
However, if you want to compare it to ABC, MGM is really just a little brother. However, who would have thought that MGM, such a "little brother", would actually buy the "big brother" ABC (ABC) - this has to be said to be a myth.
However, there is no way, who makes the family have a good father!
In other words, who doesn't know that the parent company behind MGM is the famous Tianchen Fund, and with such a super financier behind it, it seems quite normal to buy ABC.
If MGM's acquisition of ABC is amazing enough, then the sky-high price of $18.5 billion is even more staggering, and many people even think that this time MGM or Tianchen Fund has been wronged. In fact, if you look at the current situation of ABC, then MGM is definitely suffering a big loss, because everyone can see that the current ABC is not worth the price.
As a result, many financial people were ready to sneer at MGM's acquisition, but when they thought that every investment in Tianchen Fund seemed to have a huge return, they stubbornly swallowed back the rhetoric that they had prepared. However, these financial people have already planned that once this investment does not achieve such good results, then they will definitely use their "cheap mouth" to ruin the prestige of Tianchen Fund.
Hehe, I have to say that these people are really a group of clowns who jump off the beam, how can they understand this game laid by the national players.
With the acquisition of ABC, MGM will officially grow from a pure film and television entertainment company to a world-class entertainment and media group - this may seem like a small step, but it is a crucial leap.
With the acquisition of ABC, MGM has expanded its reach into the entire entertainment media business, including film and television production and distribution, computer animation, publishing, comics and television broadcasting.
The most important thing is that MGM Pictures, New Line Pictures, Mira Max, Sky Studios, Pixar, Marvel, Penguin Publishing Group and other subsidiaries of MGM Group can complement and organically develop well with the new American Broadcasting Corporation (ABC).
Therefore, the current MGM Group can barely be regarded as a world-class media group, but it is still a little short of the real world first.
Originally, Su Chenyu wanted to directly mess with his favorite goal in one go, which can be regarded as contributing to his media empire. However, a happy event interrupted his plan, so this guy rushed back to the mainland without saying a word.
What is this great event?
Hehe, speaking of which, this "big event" is really not a "big" thing for Su Dashao today, at most it is just an ordinary happy event.
This "happy event" is nothing else, that is, Suning Club won the championship of the first year of the A-League in 1994, and it is also the first top-level league championship in the history of Chinese professional football clubs.
Therefore, the last game of the season, and it is also a home game, and it is a game that will award the championship championship after the end, and Su Chenyu must participate. Even, even Chairman Su Zhenbang, who is "a great opportunity", rarely found time to watch this game, in fact, Su Zhenbang also had to come - after all, no matter how he is said to be the big boss of Pengcheng Suning Club.
On November 13, Pengcheng, National Stadium, the last round of the 1994 A League Pengcheng Suning vs. JS Maite match officially started here.
In fact, this ball is also a big hit, very simple, because this ball is a Donghai derby - the two sides of the game, Pengcheng Suning and JS Maite, are both teams from Donghai Province. It's just that the situation of the two teams seems to be very different, Pengcheng Suning has won the championship several rounds in advance, while JS Maite has been relegated several rounds in advance. Therefore, this East China Sea derby, which was supposed to be a burst point and full of gunpowder, should be a one-sided massacre - after all, the disparity in strength is too great.
Today's Pengcheng National Stadium was packed, and even many fans who didn't buy tickets gathered outside the stadium to watch the live broadcast on the big screen to cheer for their home team.
I have to say that after this season, Suning Club has harvested countless fans all over the country, not to mention in Pengcheng - it is no exaggeration to say that the entire Pengcheng is a fan of Suning Club.
There's no way, it's really Suning Club's game in the first year of A-League that is really awesome - the 21 games that have ended have actually achieved a record of 20 wins and 1 draw. Moreover, Suning's games were not only slaughtered by big scores, but also played quite gorgeously, so it is difficult for Suning's club not to be popular. In addition, there is also Ronaldo, the "demon", who is naturally harvesting fans wave after wave.
In other words, the only game that Suning Club drew this season seems to be with the opponent JS Maite in this game, there is no doubt that anyone with a discerning eye can see that Pengcheng Suning is pulling his own brother in the same province. However, unfortunately, my brother from the same province was too wasteful, and in the end, he still had a "one-year tour" like his previous life, and he was demoted several rounds in advance.
Since the brother from the same province has been relegated ahead of schedule, Suning Club has nothing to worry about, so head coach Xu Genbao has no tactics - the players can play how they want.
Therefore, in the last round of the league in the first year of the A-League, there was such a rather strange game, except for the goalkeeper, the entire Pengcheng Suning seemed to have no defense, and everyone attacked up as long as they got the ball - including the defenders. Therefore, the fans at the scene were completely happy, after all, everyone wants to watch the goal battle, not the hard defense.
No one was disappointed in the result, before the end of the half, the score had become 3-0, except for Ronaldo's habitual goal, the other two goals were actually scored by special defenders.
So, at this point, there was nothing to watch on the stadium, and the fans at the scene had already begun to sing the Suning team anthem and celebrate their first league title.
The scene of 60,000 people celebrating together is absolutely shocking, although there are a very small number of JS Maite fans here, but at this moment they have also turned into fans of Pengcheng Suning. Because, in the next days when JS Maite is relegated to the second division, Pengcheng Suning Club will become the only sustenance for other fans in the entire Donghai Province in the top league.
90 minutes passed quickly, and the referee didn't even give a minute of stoppage time in the end, and directly blew the whistle at the end of the game - Pengcheng Suning defeated the provincial brother JS Maite 3-0 - Suning was almost walking in the second half, which can be regarded as giving enough face to the provincial brother.
However, no matter what the score is, none of this matters anymore, the important thing is that Pengcheng Suning Club won the championship of the first year of the A League with an undefeated record of 21 wins, 1 draw and 0 losses.
So, when the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the 60,000 fans of the entire Pengcheng National Stadium were boiling again, and the North Stand, where die-hard fans gathered, had pulled up a huge championship celebration banner - covering the entire North Stand. Not only that, but the club had already prepared for the team's championship celebration, so the fans in the other three stands also unfurled huge banners.
There is no doubt that these are things that the club has prepared in advance, and then handed over to the major fan organizations to do, you know, the development of Suning Club's fan organizations is quite good, and it can be comparable to those century-old clubs in Europe - after all, the club has strong support behind it.
Amid the frantic cheers and shouts of the fans, all the players of Suning Club, led by head coach Xu Genbao and captain Fan Zhiyi, went around the field to thank the fans for their huge support in every home game this season.
Soon, after simple preparations, Yuan Weimin, chairman of the Football Association, presented the A-League Championship Trophy and the ANTA Championship Commemorative Trophy to Pengcheng Suning Club, thus marking the official end of the first year of the A-League.
There is no doubt that this year was a success for Suning FC, as they won the first year of the A-League with an unbeaten record of 21 wins and one draw, thus marking the complete rise of a dynasty......
