Chapter 1017 Premium
Kalido took a deep breath. He felt that although the young man on the other end of the phone was willing to listen carefully, it did not seem to mean that he could be easily impressed, so he said sincerely. "Fu! We are friends and should not be enemies! To be honest, Fox cannot acquire Manway, and even if I have this idea, the company cannot provide the money, and the directors will not agree to sit down and talk about this matter.
Of course, I don’t like Japanese people myself, because my father was almost killed when he was in Pearl Harbor!
Since you don’t like Sony Entertainment, then just deal with them! If there is something I can help in this regard, I will be very happy to stand with you. My wish is that Fox can continue to maintain a good cooperative relationship with [dream media]..."
It’s meaningless to make enemies, and it’s meaningless. Calido said everything to this point. He was obviously forced to the edge of the cliff and had no way out. Moreover, the "X-Men" series of movies are more appropriate than giving them to DreamWorks. There is no need to weigh it carefully. Fu Zhengyi laughed. "The Manway hero that Fox needs can be discussed, and even the production funds [Dream Media] can be provided, but I only accept the authorization method. Is this kind of promise possible?"
Calido ended the call happily.
The "X-Men" series is quite profitable. Fu Zhengyi raised his lips and stuffed his phone into his pocket. He turned around and found that Li Xueyao and Mishasha seemed to be blocked in the corner of the porch because of his phone.
When he approached Li Xueyao's ear, Mishasha whispered, "Hey! Look at his current expression, does it look like a fox who just stole the chicken and ate it?"
Because of the words he said on the platform before, Li Xueyao had not yet figured out how to deal with them. She lowered her head and continued to look at the tip of her shoes, but she tightened her hands tightly.
Ouch!
Mishasha deliberately screamed in pain and threw her hand away, jumped to the side and said with a bitter face. "If you don't say it, don't say it, why are you pinching my hand? It hurts so much..."
Li Xueyao raised her head and glared at Sasha hard. Seeing that Fu Zhengyi was in an extremely happy mood, she asked what kind of good thing happened?
"I stopped the fate of the little spider being bought..."
Mishasha said in surprise, "Little Spider? Do you have such a hobby?"
Fu Zhengyi was speechless. "Spider-Man!"
"What to stop this?"
"Sony Entertainment is talking to Manway about the purchase of copyright. I sent someone to Manway's boss Perelman and told him that he would buy all of Manway, so Manway notified Sony Entertainment and said that he would not sell some important villains of the Spider-Universe to them. However, Fox was also talking to Manway about buying the X-Men and the Fantastic Four, so Fox's director Calido called over to indignantly and asked for guilt..."
After listening to his introduction, Li Xueyao looked confused, while Mishasa frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly became enlightened. "Is there a company with Batman, Catwoman, and Superman?"
"Uh... all of the comic heroes you said are owned by Manwei's competitor DC! The current global comic market is relatively depressed. Manwei has more than 4,000 comic heroes but dare not invest in filming movies. This gives Sony Entertainment a chance to take advantage of the cash reserves..."
Mishasha stuck out her tongue and said embarrassedly. "Oh! I thought the ones who drew these comics were all the same company..."
Seeing Fu Zhengyi looking at him, Li Xueyao said embarrassedly. "I, I only know Superman..."
Ran Ying walked downstairs and looked like she was reluctant to speak. Fu Zhengyi asked if it was about Manwei, and after she nodded, she asked her to say it directly.
"Gonzalez said Manway's boss Perelman's Lions spoke up..."
Fu Zhengyi asked, "How much is the offer?"
"Billion!"
"Only one billion?"
Ran Ying was speechless. "What is 'talent'? This is a billion US dollars!"
Seeing her expression like this, Fu Zhengyi asked. "Okay, what is Gonzalez's attitude in the past negotiations?"
Ran Ying said. "Gonzalez said that after hearing this number, he wanted to pour the hot coffee in his face in his face, and then pounced on him and slapped him twice in the face..."
"What? This price is outrageous?"
Ran Ying opened the folder she brought over and said, "Yes! It's very outrageous! Because according to the judgment of industry insiders, Manway's current valuation is at most 500 million. You should know that the price of Sony Entertainment purchasing Spider and some important villains in the Spider Universe is only a mere $7 million, plus the sharing of future derivative profits..."
Seeing that the documents she was facing were all in English and had a small size, Fu Zhengyi signaled her to pause for a while, then turned around and asked the two girls if they were interested in knowing about Manwei?
Li Xueyao hesitated a little, but Mishasha shouted happily. "Is it really OK?"
"But if you know this level of business secret, you will be responsible for keeping it confidential!"
Mishasha was a little confused. Li Xueyao took her hand and gave him a little dissatisfied look. This made Fu Zhengyi, who had a tense face, make a "please" gesture and signal the two to follow.
When she arrived at the bar, the bartender was driven away by Ran Ying after she brought the beer and drinks. She opened the folder again and continued to report.
Knowing that Gonzalez considered the relationship between Sony Entertainment and Fox, he felt that the offer of $600 million was already very high. Fu Zhengyi pondered for a moment before speaking. "The billion is indeed a bit high, but the quotation of $600 million is definitely not agreed to in the current situation. Manway's boss Perelman will definitely not agree. So, tell Gonzalez that if Perelman is willing to sell it for $800 million in cash and equity exchange, then [dream Media] will use Yahoo's equity as the transaction subject and agree to his request!"
"Yang Wenyuan is still considering that if he transfers his equity worth hundreds of millions of dollars to Manway's boss Perelman, he will definitely be furious!"
"No matter him! Calido reminds me one thing. Manway's acquisition may encounter some troubles outside the market. You tell Gonzalez that the acquisition requires the establishment of a new holding company! With [dream Media] as the main body and with the help of multi-party holdings, Manway's boss Perelman can promise that he can get a complete consideration of 800 million US dollars..."
Seeing that he did not avoid Mishasha and Li Xueyao, Ran Ying sighed after recording. "But even so, Yang Wenyuan would be mad. The negotiations with the online broadcasting side have been going on. He said that he would not hesitate to use the Yahu equity he personally held as collateral in exchange for the bank's full support for the acquisition. The bank is also optimistic about the acquisition and is willing to provide him with billions of dollars in funds..."
Fu Zhengyi took a sip of beer and said, "Then let him do it! With the current Nasdaq market's pursuit of online technology stocks, once Yang Wenyuan completes the acquisition of online broadcasters, it will definitely drive the stock price to rise, but the overall acquisition of billions will eventually make him suffer. How is David's lobbying work going on?"
"David doesn't think he has the ability to serve as CEO of Yahu. He still holds his previous attitude and hopes that you can go over and have an interview with Yang Wenyuan. He doesn't think Yang Wenyuan's acquisition is necessary, and he doesn't think your method is appropriate..."
"The problem with Yahu is that Yang Wenyuan is too conceited and too strong, while David is a bit too conservative. Yahu's decline seems inevitable..."
Fu Zhengyi actually felt that it was a pity that Yahu had hoped to become the world's largest online content provider, but Yang Wenyuan's personal style inevitably made Yahu fall into the quagmire of acquisitions and mergers and acquisitions and could not extricate himself.
Thinking of this, Fu Zhengyi breathed a sigh of relief. "You should notify Gonzalez now and let him complete the overall acquisition of Manway as soon as possible! For all employees who are willing to stay, they can promise that their salary will increase and they will receive more support..."
Sitting in Manway's conference room in New York waiting, Gonzalez received a call from Ran Ying and was shocked when he knew the authorization conditions. "Are you sure the boss wants to reach the agreement with such conditions?"
"Yes! Mr. Fu is by my side!"
"I'm sorry, I'd better call the boss!"
Although he knew that doing this was a bit rude, Gonzalez still called Fu Zhengyi's phone and sighed when he learned that it was indeed his decision. "Boss! With such a high premium, Perelman would say no unless his head was clamped by the door! I still think this acquisition is too hasty..."
"Go and do it! However, the prerequisite for purchasing at a premium is that all virtual heroes under Manway have complete copyrights. The review of this aspect must be strict. Never let Perelman have any loopholes to exploit!"
"I know what to do..."
After finishing the call, Fu Zhengyi placed his cell phone on the bar and picked up the beer. He turned his face and found that Li Xueyao was frowning and asked her what she was thinking?
"Are you really going to spend $800 million to buy a company?"
"Yes! If nothing goes wrong, Manwei's company belongs to me in a month or two..."
Li Xueyao continued to ask, "How long did it take you to make this decision?"
He raised his wrist and looked at the time, and Fu Zhengyi said. "I made the decision when you two went to sea to catch big lobsters in the morning. There is a jet difference between the United States and here, otherwise this matter should be finalized before lunch!"
Mishasha said in surprise. "Wow? In other words, you decided on this deal in just a few hours?"
"Yes, that's about it!"
Li Xueyao bit her lip, hesitated for a while before stuttering. "Then, why spend 800 million to buy a company worth only 500 million?"
kindness?
How could she care about this?
Fu Zhengyi was very surprised...
