Chapter 486: MGM
Chapter 486: MGM
Wangfujing, Luowangfu,
"Xiao Luo, I-I promise you-you that I will never buy Sony-Sony products today-future-Sony!"
Lai Shuiqing held the wine glass, stretched her big tongue, patted Ye Luo on the shoulder, and stumbled in Cantonese. [Big|Book|Bag|Small|Say|Net] A red face, if it is not a beard or gray, it is a proper Guan Gong.
The words are sonorous, the expression is firm, and the appearance of a soldier dying for a confidant looks very sincere.
"Lord Wang, what you didn't say, we also promise!"
Over there, Yang Tao, Zhang Yuede, Liao Jianhui, Xu Bojiang and others also patted their chests.
"Yes, it can't be a big favor, but it can still be done!"
The people around him chimed in.
β...β
This dinner was once again prepared for Ye Luo, if nothing else, they won the bet again. South Korea's 21 defeated the Italian team and caused an upset again.
This time, everyone was very enthusiastic and made a lot of money. The draught did not forget the well diggers, and once again expressed his respect and gratitude to Ye Luo. You have to line up, follow the organization, and swear allegiance to the death, otherwise you may not have a chance next time.
In addition to the treat, the other is indignant at Sony's recent sniping Phantom. Regardless of what is in your heart, everyone here at the moment is showing indignation.
Although I'm glad that everyone thinks so, I can't ignore life for the sake of saving face. Some goods are only available to others and are well done, so we don't need to hold on!"
Ye Luo is not worried now, anyway, whether you are happy or not, things will always develop according to the established trajectory. As long as you try your best, it turns out that God doesn't have eyes.
And he also has reason to be happy, because there are another 300 million US dollars in the account, and with this money, he has some confidence to deal with Sony.
ββ
In the early morning, the golden sunlight shines through the glass and spills on the desk in the study.
"Now with the relationship, plus you and others have reached an equity transfer agreement, even if Warner doesn't help us, how can it remain standing. β
Due to the extra wine at the dinner, it was delayed, so Ye Luo got up early in the morning and began to study the materials. Bai Meiyu didn't lie in bed either, and ran to his house with coffee exceptionally.
It's okay to be helpful, but it's okay to liven up the atmosphere.
"Who knows, see if the major shareholder will give me face as a small shareholder!"
Warner's largest shareholder is now Capital Research &Management, which holds about 17 percent of the shares.
Ye Luo, after the equity transfer, his $200 million can account for about 2.3 thousandths, and he doesn't have to think about the right to speak.
However, he is not worried that Warner will fall to Sony's side, and now Warner's profits mainly rely on movies, broadband and music, and in music, he can be said to be the company's big head.
The company's market capitalization is more than 80 billion and it is still falling, so the nearly 200 million dollars he contributed to albums and singles a year is particularly prominent.
"The market value of this MGM is only 5 billion, why don't we also buy shares?"
Bai Meiyu rummaged through the materials that had been piled up, as if she had found a treasure, and said excitedly.
"I've thought about this, it's not very suitable!"
MGM is also a mess now, and Warner is even worse, and in January it was reported that Goldman Sachs Investment Bank would be responsible for bidding for the auction.
The market value is 5 billion, the debt is nearly 1 billion, but the premium is 2 billion auction, and no company has taken over yet.
Ye Luo had a thought, but he thought about it. Since the lion was destined to die, there was no need for him to wade through a troubled water. If you don't get it right, you'll lose a lot.
MGM's downward spiral is almost the same as Warner's death-defying routine, which is indiscriminate investment.
Its largest shareholder, Kirk Kercorion, who holds 80 percent of the shares, has made various unsuccessful acquisitions over the years, and last year spent more than $800 million to buy shares of the fourth-largest cable company in the United States.
I don't want to think about it, cable TV and radio are monopolized by Warner, can it be good?
But he couldn't die for the time being, and Ye Luo remembered that the lion had survived for ten years. During this period, Sony invested $4.8 billion, and he did not know what year it was acquired.
Wrong!
"Smack-"
Ye Luo thought about it and suddenly his eyes lit up, since Sony will buy MGM, there will definitely be a period of stock price growth, as long as he can get rid of it at that time.
"What, is this a solution?"
"Of course, it's rare for Sister Xiaoyu to open the golden mouth, no, God won't agree!"
"Go, don't hold me! I still know how many pounds and taels I have, and I'm still thinking about whether to resign, after all, I can't help you anymore, like a burden all day long!
You see, I don't know a foreign language when I go abroad, and I learn slowly, and I don't know the business, and these days, I can only watch you busy and idle-"
As she spoke, Bai Meiyu's eyes turned red. What she said was sincere, if it weren't for the fact that she had feelings and was reluctant to Ye Luo, she would have submitted her resignation a long time ago.
"Oh, why did you return the golden beans? Who dares to say that Sister Xiaoyu has no merit? You brought me out!"
Ye Luo walked around the desk and reached out to wipe the two spilled silver beads.
"What is it that I take you, you take me almost the same!"
"I can't say that, the 'escort team' alone has established my success, you see, it's like Sister Yufei who disagrees with you?
Besides, you're leaving, where can I find such a beautiful babysitter?"
"I'm your babysitter, huh?"
"No, no--I was wrong-stop--don't beat people, the gentleman doesn't move his mouth!"
"Then I'll talk!"
"Okayβahβlet's do it!"
I don't know why, girls seem to love to bite. Well, how do you feel that this sentence has some connotation?
After breakfast, I haven't gone to the crew yet, but Gu Yongqiang called here to report to work.
"Brother Qiang, what's the matter?"
Gu Yongqiang is Ye Luo's current general who can be a little brother, and he is the person he seconded from Sohu Company, but he belongs to the kind of person who borrows and does not pay back.
"Lord Wang, our station has been in beta for more than half a year, and almost most of them have met your requirements! Patents in China, Europe, the United States and other places have also been registered, I think, is it ready to be published?"
Gu Yongqiang is the head of the video station development team, they write the code, and the section is designed by Ye Luo, which is a mature design later, and it is required to be associated with QQ.
Such a long internal test, in addition to making the technology more mature, is patented. Ye Luo wants to block the imitation of foreigners as much as possible, and don't forget that his motto has always been to wear other people's shoes so that others have no way out.
"Great! Well done! In this case, let's prepare for the launching ceremony these days, and in addition, I will approve the rewards of the R&D personnel as soon as possible!"
After listening to Gu Yongqiang's words, a thought flashed through Ye Luo's mind, but he didn't catch it.
"This is not in a hurry! Wang Zhihe and Ren Chao can work hard, and the bonus doesn't matter!"
Why did Gu Yongqiang decide to jump from Sohu, it was because Ye Luo gave super good treatment. The house, car, salary, any of them are unique in the capital, and if they are placed abroad, they are not bad with big companies such as Google.
"It should be yours and you can't refuse! Science and technology are the primary productive forces, and I still understand this truth!"
In the 21st century, talent is the most important, and Ye Luo no longer understands this truth. As for paying these, and in return, it is the bright moon of fireflies.
