Cooperating with the Han family, in the opinion of Executive Luogan, is much better than working with AOL!

Whether it is online channels, animation, film and television, and media channels, they are much stronger than AOL.

Marvel Studios has succeeded in developing comic book IP, following the three comics of "X-Men", "Blade", and "Men in Black", the filming of "Spider-Man", which has a greater influence, has also been put on the agenda and is being rapidly prepared.

It is said that popular IPs such as "Iron Man", "Hulk", "Captain America", and "Transformers" will also appear next.

DC Comics is also trying to learn from its successful model, but unfortunately there is little interest in "Batman" and "Superman", and compared to the thriving Marvel Comics, DC Comics is now clearly lagging behind.

In addition, Industrial Light & Magic Special Effects and Pixar Animation Studios are also in the hands of Han Xuan and his grandfather, one is currently the world's top film special effects company, and the other is a leader in the 3D animation production industry, which can play a strong role in promoting the film division of one of the pillar industries of Time Warner Group.

Just thinking about the possible "chemistry" in this process excites Mr. Logan, and it is not only the movies that can promote each other, but also the SOS 24-hour convenience stores all over the world, which can become the point of sale for magazines and newspapers distributed by Time Warner Group, which will play a role in promoting sales.

The ABC TV station currently owned by the Han family can further expand the influence of Time Warner Group in the media industry, and Bloomberg News, which focuses on the financial field, has been coveted by Luo Gan for a long time.

In addition, his previous idea of letting Time Warner Group enter the Internet field can also be solved with the acquisition of Han Xuan, compared with the search engine "Netscape", chat software "ICQ", news websites, and online shopping software owned by AOL, Han Xuan's Destiny Browser, O chat software, Gossip shopping website, etc., the user base is not known how many times!

What's more, Han Xuan's huge capital flow is also an advantage that AOL does not have, and he has not shown any interest in Time Warner Group before, so Lao Luogan naturally will not come to the door with a cheeky face and ask Han Xuan to buy the company he manages.

The reason why he chose AOL is that after the merger, he will still occupy a dominant position, and in cooperation with Han Xuan, Lao Luogan understands that the existing rights system of Time Warner Group will definitely be hollowed out after the merger, and he believes that he can't deal with the Han family, which has an industrial scale several times larger than himself.

Not to mention meeting with Han Xuan, occasionally meeting Executive Anthony at a party, he can't help but be stunned in his heart, feeling that he is not as good as Anthony, before today, the total industrial scale of the Snow Mountain Group is as high as more than one trillion US dollars, which is a terrifying number that Lao Luogan needs to look up to......

Hearing Han Xuan's words, the acquisition intention was clearly expressed, the haze of the merger that shrouded Lao Luogan's heart was suddenly swept away, and he suddenly thanked for the bubble bursting crisis that broke out today, if it was successfully acquired by Han Xuan, it would definitely be a big thing that would make the shareholders happy, which was very beneficial to the future development of Time Warner and a win-win situation.

Lao Luogan asked Han Xuan at this moment: "How do you want to cooperate, Snow Mountain Group?" Interstellar Investment? Oh yes, and family trusts?

These three companies have enough funds, our company's "Fortune" magazine staff have counted your worth, you know, it's the end of the year again, the people are concerned about your worth, the statistical work is ongoing, the fluctuations during this period are estimated to be very large, but I think by the end of the year, it will still be a lot more than last year.

During the negotiation with AOL, all the information about our company was counted, and today's stock price crash hit the Internet industry hard, while our Time Warner Group was not greatly affected.

The contract with AOL stipulates that the premium is only five percent, which is very beneficial to you, and I mean when you buy shares from other shareholders with cash, and after the end of the deal today, you can see that Time Warner is now worth $141.6 billion. ”

Lao Luogan's tone was a little excited, he could clearly see the benefits of merging with Han Xuan's company, and of course Han Xuan also knew it.

If it is not good, the fool will think of using precious cash to buy a company with such a high market capitalization, and in his next plan, the amount of money needed to buy back the shares of Internet companies is not small.

With the acquisition of Time Warner Group, the Han family's influence in the entertainment and media industry will transcend more than one class, and it will truly become a media giant with the right to speak in the world!

At this moment, the old Luogan executive was very happy, but Han Xuan's next words suddenly made him unhappy, and Han Xuan opened his mouth and said: "Actually, Mr. Luogan, I don't think your Time Warner Group is worth more than 140 billion US dollars, in my opinion, its actual market value is only between 80 billion US dollars and 90 billion US dollars.

The management of AOL is not aware of the current technological development of the Internet industry, but you can't fool me, remember that the largest shareholder of Cisco is still me.

In the past decade, the reason for the rising market value of Time Warner Group is mainly because your company has become the world's largest Internet access service provider, but the use of dial-up Internet technology to connect to the Internet is a thing of the past, and fiber broadband Internet access is the mainstream of the future.

As far as I know, Time Warner Group has lagged behind in this regard, and several companies such as Verizon Telecom, AT&T, T-Mobile, etc., have purchased tens of billions of dollars worth of equipment and materials from Cisco, and your company has not spent half a dime.

I'm not stupid, Mr. Rogan, it's not my style to buy a company that is destined to lose money in the next two years, so please pass on the news that I am willing to buy your company at a market value of 100 billion dollars to the big shareholders, the transfer agreement will be carried out in secret, and if the purchase price is passed out, I'm not sure if it will cause Time Warner's stock price to collapse.

The liquid shares of your company account for only 37 percent of the total share capital, which means that the market value is inflated, and the losses will be more serious as a result, and this is my greatest sincerity, Mr. Logan. ”

……

The shopping mall is never a smooth road, there are routines everywhere, Han Xuan saw the tricks of the two companies clearly as early as when he heard that AOL and Time Warner Group were trying to merge, and he has been watching with the mentality of waiting to see the joke.

More than 98% of AOL's market value is built in the virtual world, and the management found that the Internet industry seems unreliable, so they tried to acquire Time Warner Group to realize the simultaneous development of the Internet industry and the real industry.

Time Warner, which is still the largest Internet access service provider in the United States, has been operating a cable TV access business in the early days, and it has become a ready-made network cable after a simple transformation, which has inherent advantages and has brought it a lot of revenue in recent years.

However, the company's executives have recently found that the development speed of the Internet is beyond their imagination, the rapid development of broadband technology, people are not satisfied with the existing network speed, a large number of telecom operators, very far-sighted at the expense of laying optical fiber between major cities, so that the network transmission speed, to seize the Internet access service market.

Time Warner's management did not understand the Internet market, and it was too late to wake up to the fact that the original telephone line dial-up Internet access had become an outdated technology that could no longer satisfy users.

When they want to transform, they find that new Internet access service providers, large and small, have occupied most of the United States, and they can't continue to maintain their advantages, and this part of the business will be obsolete and obsolete in a short time.

The reason why Cisco has developed so fast in recent years is because the world has begun to build a faster optical fiber communication network, and the goods produced are in short supply, and many orders are calculated in "tens of billions of dollars", and the orders are scheduled to be produced in 2003, making it a market value of more than $350 billion shortly after it was listed!

Just when the executives of Time Warner Group had a headache about this, they happened to meet AOL, a big company that was willing to take over the declining Time Warner Group, and the members who knew the details were naturally happy, seeing that AOL's market value was rising, the two companies hit it off and happily discussed the merger.

As the CEO, Mr. Dan Logan is very clear about this matter, in fact, the plan to pit AOL was conceived by him, and at this moment, Han Xuan was interviewed in the open, and his face turned white with fright!

The mood is like a roller coaster, just happy for two minutes, and then fell into a trough, even more ugly than when he first came, almost jumped out of the chair, in case this news is shaken out, Time Warner Group's market value is likely to be cut in half, the Internet access business occupies nearly half of the company's profits, once the shareholders learn that the main business is about to disappear and decline, the possible consequences make Mr. Luo Gan frightened!

Since Han Xuan mentioned this matter, it means that he is already completely sure, and after Executive Officer Luo Gan thought of this, he ran to his throat and sufficled his words, and he forced them back.

Knowing that Time Warner Group was held by Han Xuan, he was a little frightened by Han Xuan's terrible vision, and he foresaw the future of his company not long after the optical fiber was launched on the market, which made Luo Gan feel terrible, it happened to be the collapse of the Internet bubble recently, he was very worried about this matter being leaked out at the moment, his lips moved, he almost couldn't speak, and said to Han Xuan in a nervous tone: "Are you threatening us?" ”

Han Xuan frowned, as if he was thinking, and then Zhanyan smiled, nodded and smiled: "That's right, it's a threat......
