Chapter 317 Acquisition
Lin Mu took the information and looked at it one by one.
"The valuations of dimensional, Blu-ray, and Shadow assets are $430 million, $330 million, and $270 million, respectively, as well as technicolor, fullscaleeffects, etc., all of which used to have a series of brilliance, but now they have begun to seriously shrink their assets, all of which are about $2-300 million."
Lin Mu looked at these offers and couldn't help but smile: "It's so cheap, it's just delivered to the door." After the acquisition, it was just right for them to work for "Transformers". ”
However, if you want to acquire a few, it will cost more than a billion US dollars, that is, tens of billions of yuan.
Soon, Jia Jinqian, the person in charge of the finance department, rushed to the Lin Mu office with a large pile of meat on his body.
"How much cash flow do we have in our company now?"
Jia Jinqian filtered in his heart, and quickly replied: "At present, there is not much cash flow, only about 500 million, mainly flowing to the special effects department, Yanjing Research Institute, "Raiders of the Lost Ark 2", "Biochemical Apocalypse 2" and the rest of the dozen or so movies. ”
"So little ......" Lin Mu had to turn in another direction, "If you borrow money from the bank, how much can you borrow?" ”
Jia Jinqian calculated in his heart: "If you take out a loan, you can also use "Raiders of the Lost Ark 2" and "Biochemical Apocalypse 2" to get a mortgage, you should be able to get 7 billion, and you can also use relevant patented technology to get a mortgage, I don't know how much I can borrow, I'm not a professional." Of course, the last one can be secured by the company's shares, which will presumably be of interest to many banks. ”
A day later, Hope Film and Television Company sent a business negotiation team. Secretly traveled to the United States.
The next day, more than a dozen banks in the magic capital sent people to Hope Film and Television Company in a hurry. Excited and excited, it was as if a hungry man who had been hungry for more than ten days saw delicious food. Running over, the vicious dog pounced on the food and robbed it madly.
On the fourth day, news began to spread in the society, hoping that film and television companies would use "Raiders of the Lost Ark 2" and "Biochemical Apocalypse 2" to mortgage a total of 8 billion yuan in two banks.
After the news came out, it was immediately seized by the media with a keen sense of smell.
"I hope that the film and television company will make a big move! What is the intention of the loan of 8 billion? ”
"Is it a new big movie? Need so much budget?? ”
"Hope Film and Television Company, which has always borrowed less, has finally broken the routine this time, what is the reason?"
"What is the intention of hoping that the film and television company will borrow 8 billion?"
Many media have speculated whether the film and television company has made any big moves.
There are also media speculations about whether there is something wrong with the capital chain of the hope film and television company.
Did you suffer a loss in some way?
Is it that the special effects company is consuming too much money?
The entertainment industry has been talking about it for a while, the New Year file has just passed, and there are just fewer various topics, and now there is such a big news, which naturally has attracted the attention of countless entertainment people.
It is hoped that the loan behavior of film and television companies has instantly become the focus of the entertainment industry and business circles.
But. They don't know that the 8 billion is just an appetizer......
On the fifth day, there was news from outside that part of the shares of Hope Film and Television Company would be mortgaged to the bank to lend 5 billion people.
As soon as the news came out, the sensation came again!!
8 billion!! 5 billion!!
That adds up to 13 billion.
The entertainment industry was like dropping an atomic bomb at this time, causing violent shocks and hurricanes.
"What kind of ??? can you use to borrow so many loans at once?"
"Is this the rhythm of making more than a dozen world blockbusters???
The entertainment media are as if they have been beaten with chicken blood, and they are extremely excited!!
Despite the talk outside. But Hope Film and Television Company still did not make any statement, as if this matter had nothing to do with Hope Film and Television Company at all, and it was completely out of the matter.
March 10th.
Lin Mu, who was still eating at home, received a call from the company: "Lin Dong." There has been a message from the United States, and the terms have been negotiated with the Shadow Shadow. $2.5 billion, buy all the patented technology, and of course most of the employees will stay. Do you go or do I go?? ”
"There you go. I'm not going. Lin Mu said directly.
A minute later, though......
"Shadow??" I have to say that Lin Mu is actually still very resentful. It was he who suddenly remembered the arrogant chairman and CEO Blunt at the beginning. At that time, Lin Mu was arrogant and rude when he saw him, and he even had a time limit for meeting.
At the beginning, he was arrogant that 10% of the shares must be $200 million. And there is no management right yet. Now it has bought the entire stake for $2.5 billion. What a huge difference between the front and back.
"If I run in front of this proud proud blount. If you let him go, he must have a wonderful face!! ”
After thinking about it, Lin Mu's bad taste came, and he called back to General Manager Bi Han: "I'll go to the United States." ”
March 12th.
Lin Mu got on a plane and came to Hollywood, Los Angeles.
Really. It was the proud Blount who signed with Lin Mu. When he saw the woods. It can be said that the face is full of smiles.
"Mr. King, welcome!!" He shook hands so hard that he even wanted to rush over and hug him. He couldn't wait to take Lin Mu's hand and sign the contract immediately. He couldn't wait to shake off the huge burden of the Shadow.
"Mr. Blount, the year before last, I said that I would exchange $200 million for 35% of the equity, and now $2.5 billion has obtained 100% of the equity, I wonder what Mr. Blount has to say??" Lin Mu sees this kind of person as unpleasant, and he will naturally not let it go when he has time to be sarcastic at this time.
A hint of embarrassment appeared on Blunt's wrinkled face, but it quickly returned to normal. In his opinion, if he doesn't sell it, he will continue to lose money, and he will be in debt at that time. Any humiliation is fake, money is real.
In the afternoon of the same day, Magic Shadow Special Effects Company began to announce that it was wholly acquired by Huaxia Hope Film and Television Company. As soon as the news came out, it immediately attracted the attention of some people in the Hollywood entertainment industry.
At the beginning, Magic Shadow was also a relatively successful special effects company, but I didn't expect it to be acquired by a Huaxia Film Company, which is a bit difficult to accept for Americans who have always been proud.
The successful acquisition of Magic Shadow has given a lot of support to the negotiation teams of several other roads, and several special effects companies have also felt the crisis, and their tone is not so tight, and some places have also made concessions, so as not to be given up by Hope Film and Television Company.
Why did Lin Mu acquire several special effects companies? Because the focus/core technology of each special effects company is different, a single one cannot fully meet the needs of the forest. (To be continued.) )
