Chapter 361: Building a Media Group

To be honest, this world is so boring, because for some people it is not challenging to do anything, and the only pursuit they are born to squander their lives.

Since leaving the castle, Dimon looked at Lin Fan differently, although he didn't know what the rumored Mr. Baker had talked to Lin Fan, but it was also a fact that the two disappeared for two hours. He reported the situation to Mr. Da Mo, and the result was that Mr. Da Mo was not surprised at all, and directly transferred the shares of Universal to Lin Fan, without waiting for Citi to complete the acquisition.

He obviously couldn't ask more, after all, he was not a partner of the Morgan family, just a part-time manager. In fact, Dimon's idea is very close to the right answer, there are seven bankers in history who pioneered the Federal Reserve behemoth, and Klingbeck's ancestor is none other than J.P. Morgan's right-hand man, George Morgan, who is a senior partner in the Morgan family.

Lin Fan was also surprised by all this, the current Huaxia families are just emerging magnates after the establishment and a small part of the remnants of the Republic of China, and these seven families have been prosperous for more than a hundred years, they have disappeared from people's sight, but they have not disappeared in the dust of history.

Citi's negotiations have resumed, and Lin Fan has been promised by Baker that Lin Fan's acquisition will be passed in the country without any obstacles, which is also Baker's show of muscles, and Lin Fan naturally accepts this kind of show behavior that is beneficial to Lin Fan.

Joining Klingbeck's circle is not just a matter of me joining, there will be discussions with the whole organization, introduction and holding of the oath ceremony, and Lin Fan will be in New York waiting for the latest news.

But Lin Fan is obviously not ready to waste time, last night's conversation with Baker opened up a lot of new ideas for him, Internet companies are indeed a weapon to make money, but they are also very vulnerable to economic impact, far from controlling resources.

"Boss, are you looking for me?"

Lin Fan motioned for Colt to sit down, to be honest, he admired Colt very much, flying around the world, providing legal support for his own acquisitions, industrial layout, and reasonable tax avoidance for his property, which can be said to be hard work.

"I have something I want to ask you about. ”

"It's my pleasure. Colt was on the lookout for a fulfilling job that would make him feel secure, and not every lawyer could have a salary of $3 million a year in such a bad environment, with the occasional cash prize.

Lin Fan smiled, "You don't have to be nervous, this is just my temporary idea, I intend to list some of my companies, but there are some details that need to be consulted." ”

"Listing? This is really good news, the boss's assets are all good assets, and once the boss's value is listed, it will cause a sharp increase. ”

"I wonder if if I re-list Universal Pictures and Marvel Studios, will I be able to form a parent company that will control these properties and also go public?"

Colt smiled, "Boss, this is exactly what I want to suggest to you, there is no legal problem at all, and in this way, the parent company's risk of stock market fluctuations will be automatically reduced, and you can also recover the wealth of two rounds of shareholders." ”

Lin Fan laughed, this is exactly what he got from Baker, to make two sums of money, and even in the future, Lin Fan will choose to sell part of the company's equity when the market value is high, get cash, and invest in other industries.

"I'm going to list Marvel, AMC, Universal, as well as Crown Brokerage and Mortal Cinemas in Asia in two to three years, and then integrate them into a media group that spans the world. ”

"The plan is grandiose. Colt gave his own assessment.

Lin Fan nodded, "I need you and the team to help me draw up a reasonable listing plan, whether to list in the United States or China, and when to choose to go public, you have to give me a clear time." ”

Colt quickly took Lin Fan's request to heart, "Boss, as far as I know, you also own three companies in Huaxia: Mortal Music, Mortal Film and Television, and Mortal Video, they?"

"It's not time yet, these three companies have just been established, and they might as well wait until they grow before merging into the Mortal Media Group. ”

Colt bowed his head, it seems that his boss already has a complete idea, he likes to work with such a boss, and always has a clear goal.

"Bosses, the Glazer family suddenly relented and was willing to sell Manchester United for $700 million, which we had offered for $900 million and they didn't agree, which is really weird. ”

In the face of Colt's gaze, Lin Fan did not give an explanation, he understood that this should be the bonus after his contact with Klingbeck, because the Glazer family is Jewish. Lin Fanfeng said lightly, "Then set up a sports company, include Manchester United, and help me find a new Manchester United commander and CEO of the company, this sports company may also buy some basketball teams and football teams in the future." ”

When he said this, Lin Fan remembered Yao Ming, who fought for Huaxia in the NBA, and if Lin Fan controlled a team of Huaxia players, it would be better. Lin Fan feels that he has done a lot, maybe it will be easier for Chinese actors to enter Hollywood in the future, instead of people like Chow Yun-fat and others coming to Hollywood and returning disappointed. Maybe in the future, Chinese football will not be so bad, and I can send some excellent players to the United Kingdom or Europe for training.

"Boss, Malcolm Glazer, head of the Glazer family, wants to meet you. ”

"Where?"

"The dance party that their family is throwing. ”

Lin Fan was helpless, why does the West always like to hold balls? God is pitiful, he really can't dance. However, Colt obviously doesn't think so, this kind of private ball will only send out invitations unless the two have a good relationship or the other party's status is high, Lin Fan and the Glazer family obviously haven't had any dealings, so this invitation is thought-provoking, it seems that his boss himself is becoming more and more incomprehensible.

"Colt, help me meet with Brian Roberts, CEO of Comcast, and I'd like to talk to him about some collaboration. ”

Although Colt didn't understand, he still nodded, Comcast is the second largest Internet provider in the United States and the third largest cable operator in the United States, how could Lin Fan think of cooperating with Comcast?

Of course, Lin Fan has his own difficulties, because he joined this circle, Da Mo was very generous to transfer 51% of the shares of the world to himself, and there was no need to wait until the completion of the acquisition of Citigroup before handing it over.

But the contract also stipulates that Lin Fan must complete the acquisition of the remaining shares before 2014, but Lin Fan does not want to spend his cash on it, so Lin Fan hopes to find a pick-up man, and Comcast, which has been committed to integrating the Internet, TV and telephone, is the best target.
