423 Greedy vampires
"Andy, your presentation was great. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" After walking out of the MGM building, Edward said with a smile.
"I'm worried that these shareholders will be angry, well, it depends on our luck, and I don't know what Colcleon's attitude is." Liu Anran sighed and said.
Again, other people's opinions can only be counted as references. Only Colcleon's opinion is the most important because he has too many shares in MGM.
"But you dare to say that you're not afraid to make Colkrien sick." Fang Yufu interjected on the side and said.
"Don't worry about your 'big bad', people like Colcleon only care about profit. The rest of the matter didn't interfere with him in any way, and no matter which one bought MGM, he would pick the one that was best for him. Tang said faintly on the side.
Fang Yufu looked at others with a little weakness, as if everyone didn't pay too much attention to what Tang Shen said, which made her put down her snacks.
She is also in a state of covering her ears and stealing the bell, thinking that everyone who said Tang Shen in Chinese does not understand much. But what do these people do? With her weak heart, who still doesn't know what's going on. Moreover, these people have not spent a short time with Liu Anran, and it may be a little laborious to let them speak Chinese fluently, but there is no problem with simple listening.
I went to the Beverly Hills Hotel again and had a banquet for these people at Citibank. Their role is also crucial, and they still need their help in public relations. Those brokers on K Street are not the ones who will do things for you when you spend money, and they all make safe money.
"Mr. Andy, combined with your follow-up development arrangements, based on our company's current assessment, it is cost-effective to acquire MGM at a price of no more than $5.7 billion." Citibank's investment adviser Allen said with a smile.
"Unless you can set a longer repayment period and relax the debt ratio after the acquisition of MGM, I will consider it." Liu Anran shook his head and said.
These banks are greedy vampires, who are more than God when they see that there is profit, but when they see that the risk is too great, they are more satanic than Satan.
How did the subprime mortgage crisis come about? It's not the banks and investment banks that are instigating. But what about after the crisis? It is the common people who suffer, and the losses of these banks are not very large, because they can continue to make money in other ways.
Now they are quite good, fooling themselves into taking out more loans, and they are not eyeing their shares in Marvel and Pixar Studios. If MGM doesn't improve in the future, they won't be merciful when they ask for money. That's what they are, they're real vampires.
"Mr. Andy, I think that if your Dream Media is listed, it will be easy to solve any financial difficulties encountered in the future. In our assessment, the potential of your Dream Media is even higher than that of Pixar Animation Studios. Alan continued unconcernedly.
"You, don't stir me up here. Now Marvel's account is in your bank, and if MGM is acquired in the future, the account will still be in your bank, and it will be fine to have these two listed companies. Liu Anran said with a smile.
"The capital markets are so sinister that I can't get all my companies to go public. Dream Media was the first company I founded in the United States, which is my foundation, so even if I am short of money, Dream Media will not go public. ”
"Actually, I'm also curious, the rest of the banks are not very optimistic about our company, why are you Citibank so optimistic about us?"
"It's actually quite simple, after your first film is released, we've already started collecting information about you. It's just that at that time, it was in the initial stage, and it belonged to our record of some potential companies. Alan said after thinking for a moment.
"But since the last terrorist attack, you've been upgraded from an A to an AA. If the acquisition of MGM is successful, and the expected investment results are achieved one year after you take over the operation, your credit rating with us will be upgraded by one notch. ”
"Do you want to be so stingy? Nearly a billion dollars in loans, just such a little benefit? Now my credit rating on the Amex side seems to be higher than yours. Liu Anran pursed his lips and said.
"Andy, that's because the settlement of your personal belongings is on the side of Amex, and if you can transfer it to our side, I believe your credit rating will be one level higher." Alan said with a wry smile.
"And the credit rating of an individual is still a little different from the credit rating of a company, and we will only look at the enterprise itself. And for individuals, especially people of your status, we will do a comprehensive assessment of all the properties you own. ”
The reason why they will help Dream Media this time is that they have taken a fancy to Liu Anran. If there is no improvement on MGM's side after this acquisition, it will definitely bring losses to Citibank. But they are not afraid, because Liu Anran still has three very good companies in his hands.
This was assessed at the time of the start of the acquisition plan, and Liu Anran now owns not just three, but four. From the perspective of their evaluation, the acquisition of Blizzard will not only not subtract points from Liu Anran's side, but will also add points.
They believe that Vivendi failed because they were too greedy to dominate the entire game market in the world at once. But after Liu Anran acquired Blizzard, he took the route of specialization. There is no doubt about this and can be verified against what he asks of the rest of the companies.
There are some predators in the investment world, but in the last terrorist attack, Liu Anran's quiet investment was the most profitable of all institutions. They don't think about external reasons, what they value is the ability of Liu Anran, an investment company.
Similarly, they also saw Liu Anran's caution. Dream Media is not listed, and neither is that investment company. After Pixar was acquired by him, there has been no news of the resumption of trading. He doesn't know what opportunity Liu Anran is waiting for, or whether he is waiting for the cooperation with Disney to expire, or he may be waiting for the linkage on Marvel's side.
However, even the above information is enough for Citibank to support this acquisition. The loss will never be lost, at most it is just a little less, but it can deepen the relationship with Liu Anran.
