I’m Almost Losing to a Muggle

Boss, do some personnel work!

The two executives of the strategy department suddenly felt dizzy. They didn't know why, but they had the illusion that the boss was telling the truth.

He said he wants to buy MGM, not because MGM has turned a profit, nor is it because of MGM's film library of 4,000 films, nor is it because MGM's 007 series is indeed one of the most profitable series.

I really want to replace that annoying logo.

They have already been able to anticipate the scene at the press conference. When the reporter asked why Maochang chose MGM, one of them would say under the watchful eyes of everyone: It's not that our Maochang can't afford other The company, chose MGM because the owner wanted to replace the lion's head with a cat's head.

The reporter probably threw the microphone at them.

Although MGM is no longer in the top six, the price is actually not far behind Paramount. Its film library resources are very large, and it also has a very big advantage in distribution. Pei Qianlong said.

Before Wang's richest man and Jack Ma, in fact, they both had the idea of ​​MGM and Paramount. Paramount still rejected Huaxia Capital even though the price was 8 billion US dollars, and MGM was similar, so Wang The richest man chose Legendary Pictures. Concubine Han analyzed.

Although they look down on MGM in various ways, compared with Legendary Pictures, MGM is really of royal blood.

How long will it take to buy it? By the way, tell them clearly that I want to change it into a cat's head. Lin Dong geared up.

I estimate it will be more than six billion U.S. dollars... Concubine Han gave her estimate after Pei Qianlong nodded.

Although Legendary Pictures is called second-rate, it has created a series of blockbuster films with global influence anyway, including the Batman series, Inception, The Hangover, Jurassic World , 300 Warriors: Rise of an Empire, Pacific Rim, Superman: Man of Steel, etc., have accumulated a box office of more than 12 billion US dollars in the world, and every name in it is thunderous.

The price Wanda offered was US$3.5 billion, and the industry generally believed that it was too expensive.

MGM will definitely be higher, but it is impossible to be as high as Paramount. After all, apart from the 007 series, others such as The Hobbit are actually produced by Warner. Both New Line and MGM Just a co-producer.

As early as 1989, Sony bought Columbia Pictures for a then-record $3.4 billion, and in 2005, it bought MGM for $4.8 billion.

Then, the current valuation of MGM is definitely impossible to be below 5 billion US dollars.

According to data, MGM's shares traded in the OTC market in New York have reached as high as US$96 per share, with a valuation of nearly US$4.6 billion.

Considering the poor liquidity in the over-the-counter market, this valuation is only a reference.

Judging from the annual report released by MGM, in the past four years, it has achieved an average profit of more than 100 million US dollars, which are 122 million US dollars, 156 million US dollars, 252 million US dollars, and 156 million US dollars.

They don't lose money, relying on one 007 a year and other miscellaneous things, they have already made a profit.

If there is a loss, about five or six billion US dollars can be won.

If there is no loss...

The three people came to a conclusion of more than 7.5 billion US dollars.

Boss Lin didn't feel bad. He took 7.5 billion from the Migo people to buy an American movie symbol with more than 4,000 movie copyrights.

We often have people who don't know who they don't know and go there and never come back.

The system may have taken their money.

As for whether MGM is willing to sell, there is no need to worry about this.

Every year there is news that MGM is going to sell, and even they themselves sometimes announce that they are in contact with some capital.

Not long ago, I heard that Ari was in contact, but it seems that he has no contact now.

Limit capital outflows.

After all, most of the capital used for acquisitions is borrowed from banks.

Once we acquire MGM, our films can enter the MGM market through MGM's distribution channel, Shushan, Shanhai, Special Warriors and other upcoming movies, those movies in MGM's library, We can also do a remake... Lin Dong said with a final word: What I want is not a protracted negotiation, time is more precious than money, I will give you 10 billion US dollars of authority, and bring me MGM!

Ten billion U.S. dollars is 67 billion Huaxia coins.

All the funds in his account were almost emptied in one fell swoop.

77.992 billion, minus 3 billion for the Institute of Technology, the rest is less than 75 billion.

In this case, Lin Dong would only have eight billion left.

If the eight billion is divided among the various departments of the company, he will have no money.

We'll do it right away. Eunuch Pei wailed inwardly.

For such a big acquisition, it is naturally impossible for Concubine Han to go alone, as she is not ruthless enough in some respects.

If Concubine Han went to buy it, ten billion dollars would not be enough, but nine billion dollars might not be much less.

But he, Pei Qianlong, will be enough for seven or eight billion.

The first step is to search for information as much as possible and entrust it to several local private detective firms.

It's very popular over there.

They can even find out that the owner's dog was shot and killed by a neighbor.

No matter how big or small, as long as it is related to MGM and Paramount, shareholders, and partners, everything must be obtained.

Since Eunuch Pei doesn't like airplanes, Concubine Han is the one who goes to America.

Eunuch Pei took the overall situation, analyzed the intelligence, and gave practical strategies.

Most of the time, the cat factory's strategy department operates in this way. Two groups of people, one in the dark and the other in the light, can cooperate with each other and cover each other.

The reason why we need the information of MGM and Paramount.

Naturally, it is to confuse the line of sight.

Let each other know that it is not their own family being acquired, and that both parties will negotiate with real swords and guns.

It's just that MGM will be the last one to buy.

This method of smacking east and west is very effective, and the ancestors have proved it with countless facts.

If you compare MGM with Paramount, MGM is no match for Paramount, even though Paramount is losing money, while MGM is more or less profitable.

Because MGM's profit method is too thin, almost all count on this year's 007.

If there is no 007, MGM may not even be as thin as a camel.

Once 007 hits the street, MGM will immediately fall into a debt crisis and may go bankrupt at any time.

Although Paramount was losing money, they didn't owe that much money.

Therefore, even when Paramount received the acquisition request from Huaxia Capital, they felt that they were the real heroine.

MGM is at best a mistress who just heard the news.

Poor Migo people, they are not short of wisdom, but they prefer to rely on their absolute strength to force others, even if the means are very shameless.

As for Pei Qianlong and Concubine Han's partner, they made tricks one after another, and it was impossible to guard against them, which made all of them feel overwhelmed instantly.
