Since Sony, who is far away in Asia, can smell America's current abnormality, how can the major capitals entrenched in the Americas not see the problem?

In this way, when Nobuyuki Idei, chairman and CEO of Sony, personally led the team and went straight to Los Angeles, hoping that Roland would ignore the villains and let them go, those American capitals who wanted to carve up Sony had actually appeared at Roland's house with knives, guns and sticks, eager to swallow the delicious fat in their stomachs.

Although Roland has repeatedly said that everything at the moment is an accident and he does not know what is happening in the outside world, Bill Gates on behalf of Microsoft, Warren Buffett on behalf of Berkshire Hathaway, Steve Jobs on behalf of Apple, Michael Dell on behalf of Dell, and Steven Spielberg on behalf of DreamWorks don't care about these things at all.

Because—

"It's more valuable to control the present than to reminisce about the past." Warren Buffett spread his hands at Roland.

Hearing this, Roland, who was going to dismember Sony, laughed, with a hint of helplessness on the corner of his mouth, but there was more emotion in his heart, because he saw the beginning, but miscalculated the end.

According to his original plan, only when America's anti-war sentiment rises, Sony, who has fallen into the net, will enter the countdown to death, but now? Before the war began, these capitals, who were able to see the development of events, could not sit still.

The excitement that emerges from the inside out vividly interprets the bloodthirsty nature of capital.

The practice of not asking about the cause and not asking about the process and only seeking the result is to put the profit-seeking of capital on the table.

What's going on right now?

What is the origin of "Black Hawk Down"?

Do these things matter?

As long as they can finally get enough to eat, that's enough!

In this way, bringing the guys who came in a group into the living room became the best choice for Roland.

And when Kate brought a drink and informed them that all the maid bodyguards had been dismissed from the house, the guys who couldn't bear it anymore spoke, "Judging from the current situation, Sonny will die after all, right?" ”

"Yes." Now that he knew their intentions, Roland didn't pretend anymore and nodded decisively.

Not only that, but he also gave a generous reminder.

"Since Little Bush started a war as soon as he came to power, in order to ensure public opinion, in order to be re-elected in four years? Is there bound to be someone responsible for this war? So, I personally think? There is no hope of turning around at Sony. ”

“Okay? So you, who are passively involved in the whole process, do you want to share this cake? ”

"Of course!"

A clean Q&A that satisfies both parties? Because now is the stage of sharing the cake, rather than mutual suspicion in business cooperation? If it's secretive? It's better to flip the table and don't play.

And while Roland couldn't stop nodding, Bill Gates, who represented Microsoft, also said his desire.

"We at Microsoft want Sony Electronic Entertainment.

That's all the console markets related to PlayStation.

According to our estimates, this company, which occupies most of the console market in Europe and the United States, is worth about 15 billion, but we at Microsoft pay a maximum of 50% of the price to buy it? That's seven and a half billion.

Of course? This is just an approximate number.

The final transaction price is determined based on the actual amount at the time of the transaction. ”

Microsoft's demand was expected by Roland, and when he first set up Sony, he had already guessed that Bill Gates, who wanted to focus on Xbox and promote the Internet of Things in the home, was eager for this market.

And game consoles are not part of Roland's industry in the first place, so Bill Gates wants? Let him take it.

As long as Microsoft can contribute to the dismemberment of Sony, what about this deal? It's earned.

"I have no opinion." Roland shrugged, but he had a question? "But if you only want the console market, what about Sony Electronic Entertainment's game studios?"

"Sell it to you." Seems to have already thought of a solution? Bill Gates answered very slippery? "Same as Windows, IE, Yahoo, MSN? We at Microsoft only make platforms, and our goal is to monopolize the home console market, so we won't get involved in content development, and if you don't want it, then we'll consider selling it to other content companies. ”

Roland was pleased with this arrangement.

After all, his goal is to make Blizzard the world's largest producer of game content!

And after devouring all the game studios under Sony's name, the Blizzard in his hand is actually a combination of Activision Blizzard, Rock Star, and Sony Games in the previous life, in this case, who else can be bigger than him?

Well?

"Okay, what about you?" Roland turned his gaze to Warren Buffett, who was next to Bill Gates.

To tell the truth, when he saw this old coin, Roland had actually guessed his intention.

It's nothing more than some traditional industries that are determined to make money.

And the old man's answer was also consistent with Roland's expectations.

"Me? Oh ~ We at Berkshire Hathaway need Sony Finance.

That is, Sony's current life insurance, non-life insurance and bank loans. ”

Sony has been involved in the financial industry since 1979, and its life insurance, vehicle insurance, and traditional bank loan collection businesses are the company's strongest sources of income.

Although Sony has repeatedly said that it is an innovative company, if their financial income is removed, then they can actually be sent to the graveyard a long time ago, and without the continuous hematopoiesis of insurance business and loan collection business, all their R&D projects will not be able to be carried out, so it is a matter of course that Warren Buffett chooses this most profitable business.

After all, Berkshire Hathaway's most important source of funding is insurance.

If it can obtain a license to operate life insurance and non-life insurance in Asia through the annexation of Sony Financial, then its tentacles will be able to spread wildly to neighboring countries.

"I'm okay with that."

Roland is also a shareholder of Berkshire Hathaway, after all!

If his company can continue to expand, it is actually a good thing for him.

"What about the price?"

"The valuation of the financial industry is actually not high, and Sony Finance is at most 80 to 10 billion.

And we're going to buy in half, just like Microsoft.

40 to 5 billion, that's an acceptable range. ”

“Okay。” Roland nodded, then turned his gaze to the next person, "Steve? ”

If Bill Gates and Warren Buffett are just Roland's partners, then Steve Jobs is his own person who can give the truth, and after capturing Roland's gaze, this tyrant was not polite, and said directly: "Apple needs Sony's semiconductor image processor business, and I'm very interested in their CMOS sensors."

If you want to know the specific application of this technology, I can tell you later.

Because it's too complicated.

Now, I'll just talk about the price.

According to the current application of CMOS sensors in cameras, laptop cameras, faxes, and multimedia players, its valuation is basically around 20 to 3 billion, and our bid is at most 10 to 1.5 billion.

Of course, Apple doesn't have that much money on its books.

So, when the time comes, I will raise funds from you by issuing preferred shares. ”

CMOS sensors?

When Roland heard this familiar and unfamiliar term from Steve Jobs's mouth, his brain was a little confused.

Because he doesn't know what it is!

But after Steve Jobs continued to say the referential items such as cameras and laptop cameras, Roland instantly reacted, CMOS sensors are not Sony cameras!

Although this thing is inconspicuous now, it will be a big brother in the field of mobile phone camera sensors in the future.

Sony occupies half of the 10 billion market!

The remaining Samsung, Omnivision, onsemi, and Hynix all add up, and the market share is not as large as Sony!

'I forgot about this?' Roland muttered to himself.

But after two seconds of thought, he put it all behind him.

'Forget it, forget it, Jobs has already picked it up anyway!' ’

That's right, with the continuous expansion of its own assets, the current Roland is already quite casual.

Even if you miss out on one or two lucrative industries, it doesn't matter.

In the case of money and power, there are many remedies!

And when Microsoft, Berkshire Hathaway and Apple all finished talking about their demands one after another, Dell, whom Roland met on the first day, also spoke, as a Jew, as a friend of Bill Gates and Steve Jobs, knowing Roland's position, he didn't regard himself as an outsider at all, and said directly: "We Dell need Sony's TV business."

Because now we are looking for a transformation and want to get rid of the company's heavy dependence on PCs for revenue.

So, when we saw that Sony, the world's top three TV manufacturers, might not have a future, we reached out to William.

I hope to be friends with you. ”

Such words make Roland straight!

Because what he likes to do most now is to be friends with others!

Oh no!

It is to be friends with capital.

Be friends with big capital.

Huddle together to keep warm!

"How much is the property in this area?" didn't bother with why Dell made a TV, Roland directly asked the question he was most concerned about, "How much can you Dell cost?" ”

It seems that he has coveted Sony's TV business for a long time, but it is more like the shrewdness that a capitalist should have, when Michael Dale heard Roland's inquiry, his eyes rolled and said: "Although Sony TV's global market share can rank among the top three, the valuation is only about 5 billion, according to the standard of halving the purchase, we will pay up to 2.5 billion." ”

'Gotcha! This Nima's is nothing short of a robbery! ’

Roland complained fiercely in his heart.

'Sony TV is valued at five billion? ’

'Just a little bit more than CMOS sensor technology?' ’

'It's outrageous! ’

However, just when Roland felt that these capitals were bloodier than he thought, Steven Spielberg, who was the last to speak, made him understand that Michael Dell's greed actually stemmed from Sony's weakness.

"We at DreamWorks want Sony Pictures Entertainment.

Although Sony spent 3.4 billion to buy Columbia Pictures Entertainment from Coca-Cola that year and took on a billion in debt, the company's losses in the past few years have put its value in an awkward position.

The current Sony Pictures Entertainment has a maximum of 300 million.

And according to the acquisition rules of halving, we are only willing to pay 1.5 billion yuan to buy it.

This is the unanimous opinion of me, Paul, and Jeffrey. ”

Looking at the old man's smiling face, Roland shook his head helplessly.

How could he not hear the old man's words?

Equity protection!

As a shareholder of DreamWorks, Roland knows in his heart that the current DreamWorks will definitely not be able to take out 1.5 billion, so if you want to continue this acquisition, then borrowing from the bank has become one of the ways, and in the case of Microsoft wanting to annex DreamWorks, the acquisition of Sony Pictures Entertainment through capital increase is the best means that big capital can use, therefore, the old man must control the acquisition amount within the range of capital increase that he can accept, in order to keep his equity when Microsoft is in trouble.

That is to say, if Microsoft makes a difficulty, according to the old man's shareholding in DreamWorks and the acquisition amount of 1.5 billion, he needs to pay less than 400 million in cash to ensure that his shares are not diluted, and 400 million for him is just the cumulative amount of ticket dividends paid to him by Universal Studios in the past eight years after leaving Universal in 93.

He can easily deal with possible accidents and keep DreamWorks still his own.

As for Jeffrey Katzenberg?

Even if he can't afford to pay the money and let Paul Allen's stake grow, it doesn't really matter.

Because Roland will certainly be able to afford it.

And the two of them combined, the shares are firmly above the threshold of fifty!

'Little abacus! What a little abacus! ’

Roland sighed in his heart, he understood what Hollywood's most business-savvy director was like.

However, while he sighed, Bill Gates also glanced at him.

The unobtrusive longing made Roland smile awkwardly but politely.

He can feel the determination of the richest man to build the Internet of Things.

But he didn't want to talk to the other party about the Internet of Everything.

Because, who can refuse to let people all over the world use my computer, my mobile phone, my Internet, search for my entertainment services through my search engine, and watch my media broadcast the news I like to see?

And if I can communicate with the world through my chat software, buy goods and services through my special sale website and payment platform, and travel around the city through my driverless car......

Well, even better!

In fact, James Cameron has long said the ultimate meaning of the Internet of Everything.

That's Skynet!

Although the final [dragon teng] knot is terrifying, who doesn't want to control it?

Of course, this kind of thing that hasn't even appeared in 20 years is not in Roland's current consideration at all, and after finding out that Bill Gates has been staring at him, Roland took the initiative to bring the topic back on track and said: "Okay, that means that the five of you are going to take Sony's console business, financial business, semiconductor imaging business, TV business and film business respectively?" ”

“Yeah！ Any questions? Bill Gates was the first to nod and look at Roland with a smile.

"What's the problem? It's too big a problem, okay? Roland rolled his eyes and said, "You have picked up all the five good businesses, so I can't just pick and choose from the rest of the garbage?" ”

Hearing such words, the five people immediately laughed.

Although they knew that what Roland said was the truth, but-

The face project still has to be done.

So, Warren Buffett opened his eyes and said nonsense.

"How is that possible? Isn't there Sony's second most profitable music business?

You have to have a music company that has never developed for many years, but now you don't have to find a way to develop, just buy ready-made! ”

"yes, yes, one step, isn't it?" Michael Dell also nodded in agreement.

In this situation, the corners of Roland's mouth rose.

Although Sony Music is indeed his most desired asset, but now-

He needs these people to help him solve the problem behind this asset!

No way, who let the market value of Sony Music be affected by one person?

If you can't get this guy, then Sony Music has no value, and if you get him, then Sony Music is the world's top four!

And this guy is actually the king of pop music-

Michael Jackson.
