Chapter 1176 Light and Fire

Regarding the US Foreign Investment Commission, the CFius organization, Fu Zhengyi felt that what he had considered was very careful and deliberately avoided the scope under his jurisdiction. But in fact, the degree of fucking this organization was far more outrageous than he could imagine.

It obviously has nothing to do with the so-called "national security", but the acquired party still requires the CFIUS declaration, and even the acquisition team in charge of negotiations holds the same view, which means that there is really trouble.

"Boss, according to CFius's disposal method and its own nature, even if it is just to show that the acquirer is willing to cooperate with CFius's good intention, regardless of whether the acquisition target is large or small, it still needs to make an active declaration. Otherwise, once CFius determines that the acquisition is "risk involving national security and important infrastructure", the acquirer will not only be asked to supplement the materials, but will even submit more and more comprehensive supplementary information as a result, and the final result will definitely be rejected..."

Fu Zhengyi said. "That is, unless it can be proved that the acquirer is an investor close to the United States, such as a company from Australia, the United Kingdom or Japan, even an acquisition worth only a few million dollars must be declared to CFius in advance and strictly follow the CFius procedures to be investigated by CFius?"

Hearing the sarcasm and dissatisfaction in his tone, Xi Meijuan nodded with a wry smile. "Boss, that's it. When cfius reviews, it is very concerned about whether the acquirer is under the control of the foreign government, so unless the acquirer can prove it, it is definitely impossible to pass the cfius review..."

This is not the first time this happened. Domestic foreign exchange reserves are only allowed to purchase US bonds, but not US companies and technologies. Whether it is discrimination or rogue, in the current international environment, this has become a normal state. Not only Americans think that doing this is correct, but even the party that is discriminated does not feel that there is anything wrong with it. To put it bluntly, this is still a matter of national strength. Only when the country is strong can you be confident in what to do!

Thinking of this, Fu Zhengyi felt relieved.

Otherwise, what else can I do?

Although I have money, I am willing to spend money and am not afraid of premium acquisitions. However, CFius is composed of leaders and observers of more than a dozen government agencies. The US Treasury Secretary serves as the chairman of the committee, and his representatives are from the Department of Defense, the Department of State and the Department of Homeland Security. None of these departments should be proactively provoked by businessmen...

Xi Meijuan quickly figured it out when she saw that he was able to re-examine the list of companies that might have to be declared to CFius. She was relieved. She turned her face and saw that Ran Ying seemed to have the same expression as her. She also understood that everyone was thinking about it, for fear that he would not understand it in this matter, and insisted on going to fight CFius and cause greater trouble.

The sound of their breathing made Fu Zhengyi raise his head. When he saw the eyes of the two of them immediately, he felt a little interesting. He deliberately said with a stern face. "What? Do you think I dare not?"

Ran Ying was confused and didn't know how to respond. She was struggling with what, but Xi Meijuan hurriedly handed over another document. "Boss, Steve is willing to transfer all the equity of Pixar Studios he holds. But the problem is that the contract between Pixar Studios and Disney has not been completed, and [dream Media] still owns shares in DreamWorks. So Disney claimed that if Steve did not want to talk to Disney about the transfer of equity first, but chose to sell the equity to [dream Media], they would not rule out that they would take legal action to obstruct the transaction..."

"What's all messy?" Fu Zhengyi was a little confused and asked Xi Meijuan to say it again before she understood. "Disney's management is too wide? Steve wants to sell the equity of Pixar Studios, what does it have to do with Disney? [Dream Media] Buy Pixar Studios, the original contract must be continued. The transaction has not been completed yet. What do Disney want to do if it jumps out?"

"At present, animation production companies in the United States are almost in a three-legged form. Disney has a long history and a huge and excellent production team. However, Pixar Studio has developed rapidly in recent years. The popularity of the anti-fighting surprise has made it a dark horse in the industry. DreamWorks relies on Allen's behind-the-scenes financial support. The influence and appeal of the three Skg giants have also become opponents that Disney needs to take seriously. Therefore, the lawyer team's opinion is not to acquire [dream media] as the main body, but to change a company and another name, and the province will attract anti-monopoly investigations..."

"Bastard! Foreign capital will buy whatever it wants when you want to buy it. If you want to buy it, you can buy it at will. I don't want to buy this in the United States. Someone came out to oppose it. It was an anti-monopoly investigation and a CFIUS review. Could it be that there is a difference between the US dollar and the US dollar? It's not all money! It's not all money earned through hard work? Why do you have so many discriminatory regulations? Why do you have to avoid it? You said! What's the reason?"

"Boss, you have to follow the local customs..."

"How come the Americans went to the mainland to invest and buy companies, why didn't they need to understand this? Ah? You said, you said! What's the reason..."

Seeing him shining, Xi Meijuan sighed helplessly. "Boss, isn't it because we have a weak foundation and the speed of economic development is slow?"

"Yes, yes, you will be beaten if you fall behind. It's really an eternal truth..."

After sitting down again, Fu Zhengyi tapped his finger on the table, thinking for a while, then raised his head again and said, "What else is the lawyer's opinion?"

"If you find an agent, or an agency company, you can privatize Pixar Studios and delist it in the future, then it is best to avoid legal risks by changing the registration place..."

agent?

Fu Zhengyi thought for a moment and said, "If Candice is asked to go to the offer to acquire Pixar Studio in her personal name, will there be no objection or doubt?"

After glanced at Ran Ying, Xi Meijuan nodded.

Picking up his cell phone and entering the study room, Fu Zhengyi called Candice.

"honey? What's wrong? I'm going to go into the recording studio soon..."

"How much cash can you use in your hands?"

Candice felt nervous. "Honey? Do you need money? Don't worry! I'll call the bank immediately and arrange bank transfers..."

The other end of the phone was quite noisy. Fu Zhengyi briefly said the situation, and Candice was shocked. "Honey? What are you talking about? Go and buy Pixar Studio in my name? That would cost more than one billion dollars..."
