Chapter 0218: A Wacky Request from Warner
It's a pity!
Li Yue's plan to return to the magic capital fell through. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Why?
Lawrence, the pit scumbag, finally called, bringing news of the acquisition of Time Warner.
"In principle, they agreed to sell their shares, but they had to retain a seat on the board, which means they had to hold a minimum of 5 percent of the shares. ”
For this request, Li Yue readily agreed.
Time Warner's three major shareholders each have 5 percent, but only 15 percent of the shares, and they can sit on 85 percent, which is an absolute controlling stake, and when it comes to major decisions, it is enough to ignore the opinions of other directors.
Moreover, keeping these three shareholders in the upper circle in the United States is also beneficial to Time Warner's career in the United States.
"In addition, they require that you must participate in the activities of the Wanderer Band! This is an additional condition!" Lawrence brought the second request, Li Yue was a little confused.
"Why? I just signed a songwriter contract, but I didn't promise to participate in the Wanderers' acting activities!"
"Their opinion is that you brought up the Rangers, you're the core of the Rangers, and the Rangers have the potential to become the top band in the world, provided you come back to the band as the lead singer. They don't want to see the Rangers fall silent under Time Warner, they want to see Time Warner rise to the top of the world!
Lee, I don't know why they have to insist on this, of course, maybe it's an obsession on their part! After all, Time Warner once had the world's top bands, and now even if it's about to change hands, they want to see the glory of the top bands. Lawrence didn't know how to explain this strange condition to Li Yue as he spoke.
Li Yue felt inexplicable, but at present, the vast majority of the shares are in the hands of these three companies, and Zhang Yang has bought all the shares that can be acquired in the periphery, but it still can't exceed 50%, so if he wants to take Time Warner down, it seems that he can only agree to this nonsensical request of the other party.
Then here's the problem!
I, Nima, was targeted by the U.S. government, and now the subprime mortgage financial crisis in the U.S. is intensifying, although I am not the culprit of this financial crisis, but blocking Freddie Mac is the fuse that detonates the crisis.
I'll go!
At this time, go to the United States and properly look for death!
"Lawrence, man, do you think it's possible for me to go to America right now?
"They know who you are, and I told them why you couldn't come to the U.S., but they said the U.S. government wouldn't do that, that thing is in the past, and Fifth Dimension Ventures has paid enough price!" Lawrence was also helpless.
"We can believe what they say!? By the time I'm arrested, it's too late to say anything!" Li Yuecai is unwilling to believe other people's promises, and the blocking of the Freddie Mac incident was originally just a normal financial operation, but if the US government is a scoundrel, it will be to blame itself for disrupting the financial order, and people are under the roof, and they can't tell it with their mouths full!
"Mr. Li, I'm Zhang Yang!" At this time, Lawrence's mobile phone on the opposite side was picked up by Zhang Yang.
"Well, Time Warner has done a good job, I know you have put in a lot of effort, and their requirements are a little strange, I don't blame you!" Li Yue snorted, acknowledging Zhang Yang's hard work.
According to your request, the $23.87 billion in the company's account has been spent except for a part of the funds to maintain the company's basic operation and the subsequent acquisition of Time Warner shares.
We now control 47 percent of Time Warner's shares, which cost $2.9 billion, which is a bit high, after all, it is a premium acquisition, and the 42 percent of the shares that the three major shareholders are willing to transfer are quoted at $3 billion, which I think is acceptable, but their additional conditions have just been told to you by Lawrence, which requires you to make an idea.
Mr. Li, in fact, if we hire a professional team of lawyers, under the premise that the company has already paid a huge price to block Freddie Mac, you will not have any problems in coming to the United States, and the US government will not risk the world's condemnation to settle old accounts again.
At present, the company has invested huge amounts of money in many fields, especially the acquisition of 35% of AOL's shares has used tens of billions of funds, in this case, it is necessary to hire a team of professional lawyers to deal with possible lawsuits and disputes in the future!"
After listening to Zhang Yang's words, Li Yue was also silent.
To tell the truth, Li Yue was very unwilling to return to China from the United States, but he had to return to China for refuge because of the possible dangerous situation. Now, if there is a chance to pass, pick up the half-done Wanderer Band and stand on the world stage with dignity, Li Yue is 10,000 willing.
As for Time Warner, it is Li Yuezhi's prey.
Taking advantage of the fact that AOL and Time Warner have not yet merged, and Time Warner has not yet become the behemoth in the fifth dimensional world, taking him down is more in line with Li Yue's global strategic layout.
Therefore, Li Yue's heart was moved.
"Are you sure I have no problem coming back!?" Li Yue asked again, somewhat uncertain.
We have already invested all the funds in the United States within three months in accordance with the requirements of the US government, and we have not transferred funds abroad, and the US government has long since stopped paying attention to blocking Freddie Mac. Besides, as long as the company hires a large team of lawyers, the U.S. government will be even more jealous and will not dare to do anything to us!" Zhang Yang was extremely sure of his reasoning.
Hearing this, Li Yue actually deduced that Zhang Yang's opinion was very reasonable.
In order to stop Freddie Mac's premature financial crisis, Fifth Dimension (USA) Investment has paid enough price.
Originally, U.S. companies pay taxes at the end of the year, and there is a lot of time and space for you to avoid taxes reasonably. But the fifth dimension was forced to file taxes immediately, and gave 38% of the revenue to the government.
Originally, charitable donations could be used as a means of tax avoidance and could be tax-paid, and Fifth Dimension had to donate half of the funds, that is, $23.87 billion, to the charitable fund designated by the U.S. government, which is the largest charitable donation in the United States so far.
That's not all, in order to prevent the U.S. government from finding an excuse to continue to collect taxes, Zhang Yang also invested the remaining half of the funds in the United States within three months, and not a single cent flowed out of the United States.
According to reason, what Li Yue did was really interesting, it should be a good and obedient taxpayer, and the U.S. government has nothing to say!
Thinking about it like this, Li Yue was relieved. It is necessary to fly to the United States as soon as possible, and the boiled duck must not be allowed to fly.
"I agree with you, hire a team of lawyers! After I take care of this matter, I will fly to the United States immediately!"
"Okay, boss!" Zhang Yang agreed neatly. (To be continued.) )
