Chapter 50: Roll Call
AND1 is in the field of basketball, Lotto is in the field of football, and FILA is in the field of high sports.
Shengshi Group has acquired three sports brands in different fields in a row, and the appetite is obviously huge.
Zhao Dashao felt that either he would not do it, or he would do it absolutely, and the "Glory Movement" after the merger of these three companies was to kill Nike and Adidas!
But these three acquisitions add up to not much money, after all, they are all dying salted fish, and such a gesture is not worth mentioning in the eyes of Shengshi Group.
In mid-August, Demacia Interactive Entertainment acquired Take-Two for $2.8 billion, and the news of its privatization was called a big deal!
The economic crisis that has spread around the world in the past two years has not had the slightest impact on Shengshi Group, and after Demacia Interactive Entertainment has successively eaten several well-known studios, it has finally set its sights on the three giants in the industry - EA, Ubisoft, Take· Two。
EA said that he was trembling and severely condemned Demacia as a cancer in the industry.
Ubisoft didn't dare to make a noise at all, as long as the French listed company was controlled by 30% of the shares, it could launch a forced acquisition, and the most certain acquisition of the Shengshi Group was actually Ubisoft, and it would be over if it was spent money.
The Wall Street Journal revealed details of the acquisition, which began at the beginning of the year, when Demacia Interactive Entertainment offered $2 billion for Take-Two, equivalent to $23 per share, a 64 percent premium to Take-Two's share price at the time.
Take-Two rejected the offer on the grounds that the bid was too low, but Demacia Interactive Entertainment did not give up, and extended and increased the offer period several times.
The bickering continued until June of this year, when news broke that Demacia had turned his attention to Ubisoft.
The Shengshi Group made two preparations early in the morning, and Take-Two continued to open the lion's mouth, and they literally turned to eat Ubisoft instead.
Take-Two knew that its stock price would exceed 10 billion in ten years, and the price offered by Shengshi Group was very tempting, and finally before the deadline expired on August 1, Take-Two's board of directors still could not resist Shengshi Group's bid, and the two sides signed a secret negotiation agreement and entered the stage of secret talks.
This potential deal has already been approved by the Federal Trade Commission, and Strauss Zelnik, chairman of Take-Two, finally issued a statement on the 19th, saying: Since Demacia Interactive Entertainment launched the merger and acquisition eight months ago, Take-Two has been committed to creating value for shareholders and users, and now the lengthy negotiations have ended, and the board of directors has fought for the best interests of all shareholders.
This is a tacit acquiescence that Take-Two has been acquired by Marcia Interactive Entertainment, but the specific purchase price has not been disclosed, and this will not be announced until the dust settles.
Of course, Zhao Dashao has the latest news, Demacia Interactive Entertainment finally invested $2.8 billion to acquire the old American game publisher Take· Two, Take· Two will be privatized temporarily, but the possibility of a re-listing in the future has not been ruled out.
Currently, the deal has been awarded by Demacia Interactive Entertainment and Take· With the approval of Two's Board of Directors, and the approval of the Federal Trade Commission, the acquisition has been closed.
At this point, Demacia Interactive Entertainment, a cancer in the industry that everyone scolds, has its own Take· Two two major publishers, in addition to independent well-known studios all over the world, its IP includes-(not the number of words, put in the author's statement).
And that's just the publishers and game studios in North America and Europe, and if you count a series of studios in Asia, including Penguin, which has countless copies of its own games, Demacia Interactive Entertainment, the devil in the gaming field, is already so powerful that EA doesn't dare to speak out loud.
Zhao Dashao was still training monotonously, until Gordon Freeman, the chief steward of the Shengshi Group, gave him a name and a phone number and told him that this was the CEO of Glory Sports, and he finally knew what Catherine Blind was coming from.
The CEO of Glory Sports is called Larry Blind, so do you need to talk about his relationship with Catherine?
"The door is not right, the door is wrong!"
Zhao Dashao sighed in his heart, the difference between his and his young sister's life experience is too big, and he is barely sure that there is no happiness, so he can only sleep for a short time!
This Larry worked as an executive in Converse and Puma, and later came to the Shengshi Group, just when Zhao Dashao wanted to bring salt to himself, he was sent to manage the Glory Movement, and he also wittily let his daughter go to the eldest young master first, and the efficiency was very fast.
Shengshi Group's entry into the sports field is not a whim, Zhao Dashao has been practicing for ten years, and Shengda has long had the idea of entering the sports field.
As soon as the financial crisis came last year, the global market turned cold, except for Nike and Adidas, half of the companies in this field were about to freeze to death, and there were more than three or five brands that will decline in the next few years.
But it doesn't matter, the global market is cold, but the Chinese market is hot.
Nike and Adidas have taken advantage of the Chinese market instead of declining, but have eaten many century-old sports brands.
Needless to say, the value of Zhao Shao Ye is not much to say, at this time, he bought several declining sports brands, and after completing the integration, he used Zhao Dashao's value, as well as his advanced vision, Glory Sports entered the Asian and Chinese markets, and the money was definitely not small.
Larry quickly got in touch with the eldest young master and explained something.
Glory Sports will not know his identity in the short term except for him, and the company will start hyping up the signing of him after the Olympics.
Then, this guy who used his daughter to seduce himself asked him perfunctorily what advice he had?
But don't say it, Zhao Dashao really has a lot of suggestions.
In a tone that went beyond "advice", he demanded that the company sign Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang from AC Milan's youth system and Pogba of Le Havre FC, citing that he had met the two little ones while travelling to Europe.
Larry naturally wondered how Zhao Dashao could know these two little people in the academy team in France and Italy, but the words of the eldest young master were unquestionable, and there was no need to ask, just follow the instructions and be done, anyway, it wouldn't take a few dollars to sign two small roles.
In addition to these two little people, Zhao Dashao said that he admires Gareth Bale of Tottenham Hotspur and hopes that the company will try to sign him.
Zhao Dashao did not forget to remind: Don't mention his name, let alone let these three know that they were named by the eldest young master.
Larry is still following the law, and he certainly won't talk nonsense.
Zhao Dashao even knows so many people in the field of football, and he can't fall behind in the field of tennis.
It just so happened that the Las Vegas media had just reported the lace news that he and Sharapova had entered the hotel together, and he simply used Sharapova's relationship with IMG to tell Larry that there are two good seedlings among the young male players, namely Marin Cilic and Juan Martin, and the company should find a way to sign them before they become famous.
IMG has a lot of tennis signing stars, and there are potential teenagers in the men's group, not to mention the women's group.
This time, Zhao Dashao said several names in one breath - Simone Halep, Caroline Wozniacki, Petra Kvitova.
These three belong to the powerful faction, but he knows that the highest commercial value is still the kind of player who has strength but better looks, so he asked the company to sign the Czech beautiful girl Karolina Pliskova, who has not yet emerged.
Zhao Dashao has said so many good seedlings in the field of football and tennis, and even more so in the basketball field he is in.
This year's champion Rose will definitely not be able to sign, Mayo and Beasley he doesn't want to fight, but Wei Shao must snatch it, this bastard will still sell shoes in the future.
Larry said that he is very sure of signing Westbrook, and it is because of him, since the Thunder were overturned by Zhao Dashao, even Durant's commercial value has declined, and they have a chance to grab Westbrook, which has plummeted.
Zhao Dashao also said: Kevin Love also has great potential and can compete with Nike and Adidas.
In addition, Ibaka and Batum at the end of the first round, as well as Dragic and Jordan Jr., who are also in the second round, all four of them will be signed, and they all have a chance to play.
Also, Mark Gasol, who was the 48th pick last year, Kyle Lowry, who was the 24th pick last year, and Paul Millsap, who was the 47th pick, can all go for it.
Others like Rondo, Granger, Conley, David Lee, Gallinari, Gordon can be talked about, but in order after the first ones, but it has to make people feel like they put these people first.
Larry said that he understood, and secretly said that his young master was not a loss of hundreds of billions of rich second generations, and he knew that he was attacking the West at such a young age.
Zhao Dashao can be regarded as heartbroken, but as long as the Glory Sports signs the people he said, there will be a lot of stars under it in a few years.
Of course, these people alone are far from enough, especially to enter China, the most important ones are Sun Yang, Su Bingtian, Hui Ruoqi, Chen Ruolin, He Zi, Sun Wenyan, Wu Minxia......
These future Chinese star athletes are the key, they are the stars that Glory Sports must compete for, and who makes China the world's largest market in the future.
But Young Master Zhao can't name dozens or hundreds of people at once, and at that time, Larry must wonder if Zhao Dashao knows what kind of demon magic he has?
His performance today is a little suspicious, Zhao Dashao knows that he can't go too far, these people just need to take their time in the future, anyway, most people don't want to be famous, many people haven't debuted yet, so there is no need to worry at all.
Three days later, Glory Sports took the contract to Zhao Dashao.
He watched the Stoya movie while imitating the action scenes in the film with Catherine, and at the same time finished the contract.
But don't ask him what he thinks, this kind of action cannot be described in words.
Zhao Dashao naturally did not sign, because everything had to be done according to the procedure.
He was already a signing star with IMG yesterday, and the contract was pending for his agent to negotiate.
Andy said that it hurts, he has been with IMG for ten years, and he also has several NBA stars, such as the newly signed Westbrook is his most optimistic head horse at present.
So in the past half a month, he has cursed Zhao Dashao a lot, because that game turned his top horse into a medium horse, and the shoe contracts originally negotiated with Nike and Adidas are now overturned and renegotiated.
At this time, the basketball club gave him a new contract, and it was Zhao Dashao, whom he scolded for several days.
Andy behaved very really, Zhao Dashao, who was originally scolded by him, immediately became his top horse, and the original top horse instantly became a medium horse.
Zhao Da chose him because he saw that Andy actually had Westbrook, Lowry, and Conley in his hands, so he was ready to test this subordinate, and at the same time, he was also testing the basketball department of Glory Sports.
Glory Sports didn't know his identity, so the contract offered to him was 10 million for 6 years.
This price is in line with the value he is showing now, but if Andy on IMG's side can only negotiate like this, Zhao Dashao will kick him out of the company the next day.
Of course, this is also a test for the Glory Movement.
If they think the price is too high and choose not to sign with him, then he will also consider whether the top management of the basketball club is competent.
Originally, he even wanted to test the CEO Larry, but the speed of this delivery girl was too fast, and his test was temporarily qualified.
Zhao Dashao thinks that this kind of game is very fun, and he can test these guys more in the future, saving him a group of waste people for nothing.
