Chapter 830: Chinese Invasion
In the microphone, Wang Jianlin replied in a powerful and hearty voice: "I have communicated with Huawei's President Ren and Sina's President Cao, and we can now start to acquire the shares of Warner's major shareholders...... We're all three of us working on DC Comics, Warner Music, Time Magazine, and I expect that by the end of the year, we'll have between 15 and 19 percent of Time Warner's overall stake......"
Gu Xiaofan clenched his fists fiercely and said, "Okay, that's enough, let's start the acquisition now, and I'll take care of the rest." [Full text reading]"
Hanging up the phone, Gu Xiaofan looked at Chen Ke'er with hot eyes, and before he could speak, Chen Ke'er replied as if he knew what he was going to ask:
"I have already told my dad that he has contacted some real estate developers in Hong Kong, and they are also very interested in Warner Group, and they will focus on the shares of CW, TBS, HBO, and the three major TV stations, and I have calculated their funds, and they can probably buy between 11-15% of the overall shares of Warner Group."
Chen Yongqi's side is obviously ready...... Get ready to start working together.
Gu Xiaofan nodded fiercely, didn't talk nonsense, and directly called Han Sanpin, who was in Zhongying, and told him about the current situation.
Han Sanpin's answer was very simple: "En...... It seems that the time has come, then we will start talking with Warner Bros. Pictures and the shareholders of Warner DVD Rental Group, and we will strive to win about 10% of the ......."
Han Sanpin has always been a stable person, and this number is very conservative, but Gu Xiaofan knows that Zhongying is the last thing he needs to worry about.
Everything was arranged, Chen Keer's delicate face could not hide his excitement at this time, and said happily: "With the funds of our Black Feather Studio, although our four parties together cannot get 50% of the overall shares of Warner Group, but if we count the support of Mrs. Carditine's new line, if everything goes well, then we can basically take control of the entire Warner Group next year." ”
Liu Shishi listened, and couldn't help pinching Gu Xiaofan's shoulder excitedly, the two looked at each other, their hearts were fluctuating, they didn't expect that their Black Feather Studio really had hope of controlling one of the six major groups in Hollywood......
"What are we supposed to do now?" Liu Shishi's apricot eyes were round, and she asked a little impatiently, eager to roll up her sleeves and start working.
"One word." Gu Xiaofan pursed his mouth: "Wait~" As he spoke, he turned around and entered the rehearsal room.
In the matter of acquiring Warner, they can't do anything but hand it over to these powerful allies who rely on them, and now what Black Feather Studios has to do is to make "Dark Knight" well.
"This guy, his attitude is too casual......" Liu Shishi watched him go in, very speechless.
"No...... Director Gu did the right thing. Chen Keer looked at the door of the "devil's rehearsal room" and said solemnly:
"We just have enough money to buy Warner's shares, it doesn't mean they will sell to us, and when Abel Warners and sons know what we're doing, they will start contacting shareholders, and they will hold on to their shares...... It's going to be a tug-of-war ahead of next year's Warner Group shareholders' meeting...... The effect of "The Dark Knight" after its release, as well as the influence of Director Gu himself, will be the decisive factor in determining the success of this acquisition......
At the end of the day, will Warner's shareholders be willing to believe that China has the ability to control the entire group...... is the most fundamental judgment on whether or not they will sell part of their shares. ”
Liu Shishi also nodded when she heard this, yes, this battle for management rights depends on whether it is successful with "The Dark Knight", whether Gu Xiaofan's reputation is good or bad, it will have an impact, and the shareholders' meeting is still after the Scottish ** referendum...... So this seems to be the key to one link after another, but in fact, it only depends on one element, that is, Gu Xiaofan, a leading figure in the Chinese film industry......
Since Gu Xiaofan's phone call, several giant companies in China's film, real estate, Internet, TV station, and industry have all mobilized funds and began to acquire Time Warner's shares in the NASDAQ.
In order to stabilize Time Warner's stock price, the Chinese side was very careful in its acquisitions, and only through various fund companies to use small shares to make multiple acquisitions, Time Warner's stock price only rose by less than 5% in two weeks.
Within Time Warner Group, all shareholders are in a good mood when they see the stock price suddenly rise, the United States has recently fallen into a serious economic crisis, and the Nasdaq is bleak, but I didn't expect Warner to recover in adversity.
Many shareholders attributed the rally to the turmoil caused by The Dark Knight's launch.
Soon, many people began to notice that something was wrong, because not only the liquid shares of Time Warner on the NASDAQ, but also the shares of some related subsidiaries were constantly being acquired, and the stock price was rising.
Then, when the people of Warner realized that things were not so simple, Wanda, Sina, Huawei, China Film, Phoenix Satellite TV and many other Chinese companies suddenly began to propose plans to shareholders of almost all of Warner's subsidiaries to acquire shares.
At this moment, the entire senior management of Time Warner was shaken, because everyone realized a shocking news that Chinese forces were invading Time Warner with great fanfare!
And it is self-evident who is behind all this...... Gu Xiaofan...... Only that Gu Xiaofan can have this influence, if the Chinese forces buy enough Warner shares, then they will only have one person to control the giant ship of Time Warner.
There is no doubt that all this was initiated by this 22-year-old Chinese young man......
At this moment, the entire senior management and shareholders of Time Warner felt extremely shaken.
Wanda Group, the leader in the acquisition of Warner's shares, announced the successful acquisition of AMC, officially becoming a force to be reckoned with in the American film industry, and at the same time, the hot online social media Twitter also announced that it was jointly acquired by Sina and Black Feather Studios......
Subsequently, all Warner shareholders at all levels, large and small, received letters of intent from various Chinese companies to buy shares, and the bids were almost 30 percent above the market price, which was almost irresistible...... The tide of the other party's * surged, making the entire Time Warner, a behemoth, crumbling with impact.
Of course, most of Warner's shareholders are also shrewd old foxes, they all choose to hold shares for a long time, and will never sell all their shares, the best choice is to sell part of it to the Chinese side to cash out, and then hold a part of the long-term dividends.
After that, they have a lot of money in their hands, and they can also find the right time to buy back the shares at a low price, which is in the best interest of shareholders.
Warner has gone through numerous share changes, and that's how these shareholders have made profits.
The fact that AOL was so prosperous before and finally withdrew from the market is not unrelated to the private operation of shareholders.
But for shareholders, this time the situation is different, selling to the Chinese means supporting Gu Xiaofan and abandoning Abel Warner.
If Gu Xiaofan takes over the entire Time Warner Group, will one of the six major groups in the United States be able to continue to maintain its current position?
This is the key to great hesitation...... Many people are waiting, waiting for the final release of "The Dark Knight" to be released, and then to make a final decision.
Others want to simply wait until after the Scottish referendum to see the results before deciding.
If the Scottish ** referendum is successful, then Gu Xiaofan, as the husband of the Queen of Scots, his personal reputation may be incomparable, and this political identity will also give him an advantage in negotiations with the US government, which is very beneficial to the development of the entire Time Warner.
But regardless of the future outcome, anyone in a high position at Time Warner can feel the ground buzzing beneath their feet, and the entire space seems to be shaking like an earthquake...... The tide of the new era is soaring, and it is sweeping towards the edifice of Time Warner......
