Chapter 313: Be Global and Be Solid
Day by day, day by day, this is how our lives are spent.
If you think about it, the richest people in the world are not the richest, there is no fixed amount of money, and there is a fixed number of time. How is it not the greatest squandering of our limited lives to spend our limited lives in a daze and sleep? After all, time cannot be bought.
Lin Fan was in a daze, because he had already obtained the limit of the world's values certification, and he had enough time to do what he wanted to do, such as being in a daze.
In fact, Universal is not the film company that Lin Fan wants most, Paramount is Lin Fan's favorite. Even though both companies are the big six studios in the Hollywood sense, Paramount holds the distribution rights to at least six of Marvel's future films, which will allow Paramount to earn a lot of revenue in the future, and Paramount owns the Transformers series.
Lin Fanke is a stingy person, and he doesn't want the money from the issuance to be earned by Paramount. When Iron Man was released, it marked the turn of Marvel Studios, which had fallen into crisis in the past, into victory, and since then Marvel has entered a new pattern, and according to Lin Fan's plan, Marvel will be re-listed.
However, who made the boss behind the scenes of Universal Movies is General Electric, and the owner of General Electric is the Morgan family, to be precise, Mr. Da Mo, whose full name is Pearson Morgan, owns General Electric, JPMorgan Chase and National Steel, and Morgan Stanley is called Xiao Mo.
In fact, Lin Fan's desire to be global is also in the hands of Morgan, and the giant General Electric has fallen into crisis, and the market value of General Electric has evaporated by 270 billion yuan as of now. Morgan was in desperate need of cash, and the historical Comcast was able to acquire a global controlling stake because of the economic crisis in General Electric.
However, Lin Fan still has to talk to Dimon about specific things, and he can completely represent Da Mo.
Lin Fan looked at his watch, Dimon should be coming soon, and sure enough, Dimon was really punctual and unbearable, and the hands just pointed to the agreed time.
"It's my pleasure to have future media tycoons waiting for me. ”
"But whether I can become a media tycoon or not depends on Mr. Dimon. Lin Fan's expression was very relaxed, in fact, his conversation with Da Mo had laid the foundation for cooperation, and the details were some of the details.
Dimon now doesn't dare to underestimate the young man in front of him, Marvel Studios, AMC, plus NBCUnial, a media giant focused on the entertainment industry has risen.
"Lin, I have to say that you are a lucky boy, since Universal was acquired by General Motors, General Motors merged Universal with its National Broadcasting Corporation, and now Universal is not only one of the six major Hollywood studios, but also the largest cable provider in the United States. ”
Lin Fan knew that Dimon was raising the price, but he still liked to listen to it, which made him feel that he had made an extremely correct decision.
"Damon, you're such a great talent. ”
Dimon knew that Lin Fan was making fun of himself, but he still said seriously, "According to our current negotiations with AMC, the final transaction price is about $2 billion, which means that the $8 billion you authorized us to deal with is ultimately left with $3.2 billion." ”
Lin Fan bowed, this was hundreds of millions of dollars cheaper than Wanda's acquisition price in his previous life, and he was very satisfied with this result.
"And according to our estimate of Citi, if we want to swallow this company, we must need about $45 billion, and Morgan will inject $20 billion to complete this plan, which means that Lin's offer to Universal is only $8 billion, and it is too difficult to get a controlling position in Universal. ”
In Lin Fan's view, Citi has been hit repeatedly, especially Morgan himself, political resources sometimes outweigh a lot of economic resources, Lin Fan does not believe that Morgan, who wants to eat Citi, is ready to pay so much price, especially when Morgan is also in a lack of cash flow. But Lin Fan can only admit that this is the price he wants to pay for the world.
"Damon, I don't want to refute it, but it's not a smart decision for you to say this in front of a smart person. ”
Dimon laughed, without a trace of embarrassment, this deal is a love match for both parties, Morgan wants cash, Lin Fan wants business, but sometimes some small means are needed.
"I have two conditions here, when you take 51 percent of the shares in Global, GE has the right to exchange half of the remaining shares in 2014. Second, GE has the right to exchange all remaining shares in 2018. ”
Lin Fan immediately laughed when he heard this, and kept staring at Dimon until Dimon himself was embarrassed. These two conditions all prove the fact that GM lacks cash, which is to use Lin Fan as an ATM.
However, Lin Fan is not ready to refuse, Comcast paid a price of 13.5 billion US dollars when it acquired 51% of the shares of the world in 09, although the cash is only 6.5 billion US dollars, and the rest is entered in the form of business valuation, but this also proves how cost-effective Lin Fan's current deal is.
"I agree. ”
This simple answer was beyond Dimon's expectations, but Dimon immediately laughed and said, "In order to show Morgan's sincerity, Morgan will transfer five percent of the shares to you in the near future." ”
Five percent of the shares is a sensitive value, and if it exceeds this amount, it needs to be announced to shareholders, which is undoubtedly in line with Lin Fan's low-key thinking.
"Damon, can we talk about the two of us now?"
Dimon couldn't help but smile knowingly, although Morgan has joined Citi now, but the plan and layout for Citi were discussed by the two in advance, which undoubtedly belongs to the tacit understanding and recognition of the two.
"Of course, I'd love to. ”
......
At night, when Lin Fan returned to the hotel, whether it was the surprise and panic of seeing Da Mo, or the brain-struggling when talking with Damon, it made him feel a deep tiredness.
After taking a bath, the only way Lin Fan could think of to relax was to call Chu Chu and listen to her voice.
"What are you doing?"
"Just finished your homework and prepared for your midterm exams, not everyone can skip the test like you. ”
Lin Fan likes Chu Chu's coquettishness, this tone Chu Chu will only do this to himself, now he desperately hopes that Chu Chu is by his side and can be bullied by his side, "Why haven't you graduated yet, I want to have you by my side." ”
Chu Chu, who had just put down the pen, felt distressed for a while, and she heard from Lin Fan's tone that Lin Fan's thick exhaustion and deep attachment to herself.
"It's coming. This is the only thing Chu Chu can think of.
Lin Fan actually didn't care what Chu Chu said, hearing her voice and feeling her concern, this was enough for Lin Fan.
"Alright, so be it, I want to sleep. ”
Chu Chu suddenly remembered something, "Lin Fan, have you paid attention to your mainland company recently?"
"Questions?"
"You'd better take a look. ”
