Chapter 273: Acquisition Completed
Netflix's acquisition went smoothly because of its small size and many shortcomings, but NBC is not so large that it is worth about $30 billion.
Even if He Yuzhu is rich, General Electric also has its own ideas, and their current opinion is that they can sell it, but they want to keep a certain amount of shares, but He Yuzhu wants to buy it, and the companies acquired by Lion King Pictures and others will be merged into a group.
As a result, even if GE retains some of its shares, it ends up being diluted at the same time as the merger, unless they take a stake in NBC.
The equity in this is also a problem, He Yuzhu does not want these companies to go public now, and wants to unify them into a group, and then include several wholly-owned subsidiaries, and then let these subsidiaries go public in turn after a few years of development.
He has no intention of being wholly owned all the time, because this is the United States, and if he is wholly owned, then the future will definitely be suppressed, and he needs to have allies.
In addition, He Yuzhu also wants to make trouble for the United States, and he knows very well what will happen in the future, and it is not obvious now, the United States' attention is still on oil, and it is still facing terrorist activities.
The United States is consuming its own energy and reserves, and when China's warships begin to make dumplings, they will realize that all kinds of means will be used, and if they are wholly owned, then it will be very easy to be targeted.
So, he needs a lot of allies, but not now, it's too cheap now.
As a result, He Yuzhu proposed a new plan, GE first sold NBC to itself and then delisted, and then the two sides signed a contract, and NBC went public again five years later.
GE has the right of first refusal, which can facilitate He Yuzhu to integrate resources, optimize the current structure, and integrate resources together.
GE is very satisfied with this, NBC's ratings this year are not good, and if it gets a limited purchase right, then it is not impossible.
Subsequently, the shares that can be purchased in the future were discussed, and He Yuzhu gave a minimum of 15% of the shares.
So the two sides officially started the acquisition negotiations, the premise has been determined, the next thing is just the issue of the stock price, and the lobbying of other shareholders, this has the help of people from General Electric and Goldman Sachs.
For the sake of 15 percent of the shares in the future, GE is willing to help lobby, to put it bluntly, it is the exchange of various interests.
It's not that they are very optimistic about He Yuzhu, but they are very concerned about Lion King Pictures, and the cooperation between TV stations and film companies is a very attractive thing.
Another point is that NBC's news is relatively neutral, which is one of the reasons why they are willing to sell to He Yuzhu.
In the end, He Yuzhu invested $29 billion to acquire all the shares, privatize NBC, and delist.
So He Yuzhu made headlines again, and NBC immediately found it, hoping that He Yuzhu could contribute to his TV station and accept an interview, preferably a special interview.
He Yuzhu nodded and agreed, and attended NBC's "Tonight Show", hosted by Jay Renaud, who has been hosting since 1992.
The program is about 50 minutes long and consists of three parts: monologue, guests, and band performance.
……
This kind of show is very funny and humorous, especially when NBC promoted it in advance, and NBC did not make personnel adjustments at this time, but personnel and property have been taken over, and they are being deeply understood at this time.
Jay Renaud stepped onto the stage after the show began, and at the same time he said: "Everyone should know that today's guest turned out to be my new boss. ”
"And he didn't have time for me to ...... to Taimoto"
That's humor, and the underlying meaning is, I'm going to be careful today!
The audience laughed, and humor is mostly about basing joy on other people's pain, and Jay Renaud knew this very well, so he showed his own pain at this time.
"Well, in recent times, my boss has become a man of the hour, and his successive acquisitions have thrown out nearly 50 billion dollars."
"So, why is he so rich?"
"Let's just invite him up, after all, I don't want to spit on my boss!"
Skip the previous monologue by yourself, after all, now He Yuzhu has gathered a huge hot spot, which is very important for the ratings, and it was promoted in advance, and then attracted most of the audience in the United States.
What will the ratings look like today?
NBC is looking forward to it!
He Yuzhu walked up, and the audience was very face-saving and applauded one by one.
He Yuzhu waved his hand, and Jay Renaud stepped forward to greet him, "Hello boss!" ”
"Hello Renault!" After the two shook hands, Jay Leno invited He Yuzhu to sit down.
After adjusting his sitting position, Jay Reno spoke, "Boss, I'm curious about you in the whole of America!" ”
"Why are you so rich?"
He Yuzhu laughed, "Do you want to know the secret of my wealth?" ”
"Of course I want to know, what about you?" Jay Renault turned to look at the audience.
The audience cheered, and He Yuzhu then said: "It's not a secret, I used to be a cook. ”
"Really?" Jay Renault had a surprised expression, "Impossible, right?" ”
"It's true, I used to be a chef in a factory canteen." He Yuzhu said: "It wasn't until after our country was reopened that I quit my job to start a business, and I started business in the early 80s. ”
"The first business is a restaurant!"
"It's unbelievable that the early eighties are only twenty years away from now, and you are so rich in such a short period of time?" Jay Reynaud was shocked, and so were the audience.
"It's also talent, and I like to invest in other people, of course, I also have my own advantages, the restaurant is just the beginning, and then I started the food business." He Yuzhu said: "This is my advantage, most of the products before were developed by myself. ”
"Oh, unbelievable, boss, how does the stuff you studied taste?" Jay Reynolds asked.
He Yuzhu said: "Look at me, this rich man should be clear, at least in line with our Asian tastes, but many goods have been sold to Europe and the United States, and sales have been growing." ”
"Master He Food, that He is my surname, I am Master He!"
"Is it possible to make money just by making food?" Jay Renault asked again.
"As I said earlier, I like to invest in other people, such as I have invested in hotels and real estate, and I am more interested in managers, and I will invest if I recognize his talents." He Yuzhu said: "The project is secondary. ”
"What a vision!" Jay Leno then asked, "Then why did you suddenly come to the United States and then make a massive acquisition?" ”
