Wanton God's Life Records

Chapter 876 Acquisition of [-]th Century Fox

Li Yue and David Geffen only determined the general framework of the acquisition. The specific details of the acquisition still need to be discussed by the following people. Then the two of them talked about romance. This Hollywood tycoon is also the richest G in North America. During lunch At the time, he even looked at Li Yue with strange eyes and curiously asked about Li Yue's sexual orientation, obviously knowing about last night's live broadcast.

Li Yue quickly hugged Emma Watson tightly and firmly stated that he was straight. At this time, he even saw disappointment in David Geffen's eyes.

When the time came to 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Li Yue took Emma Watson to say goodbye and left the Geffen Mansion. The latter finally breathed a sigh of relief and seemed to feel relaxed all of a sudden.

Seeing this, Li Yue asked strangely: "Are you nervous?"

Emma Watson patted her still protruding chest and said: "Of course, that one is a living legend, and he is evil. In "Harry Potter", he is a similar existence to Voldemort. Hermione You will naturally be scared when you see it.”

"puff"

Li Yue was amused by Emma Watson's metaphor and said, "No, I will take you to meet more similar bosses in the future. Well, I happen to still have time, let's go somewhere..."

With that said, he came to the Ferrari's cockpit and motioned for Emma to get in the car.

"Go there?"

"When you meet another big shot, you won't have any feelings after seeing these powerful people in Hollywood."

"Really? Who?"

"Robert Egger"

"Huh? God, really?"

Emma Watson felt like she was going crazy, because next, Li Yue not only took her to meet with Robert Iger, the head of Disney, but also had a more intimate conversation with him. She was confused the whole time, all she knew was that she seemed I heard the great inside story.

First, she was taken to a remote small restaurant by Li Yue, but the decoration in the box was very luxurious. Here, she saw Robert Egger, who was gradually aging but becoming more and more majestic.

Li Yue hugged her intimately and patted each other on the shoulders. This was almost the most intimate partner-level treatment. Then the two sat down. Li Yue introduced Emma Watson in simple language and said something that was so sweet to her heart. Words: "She is my girlfriend and the most trustworthy woman, so Robert, you can speak freely."

Robert Iger's reaction also shocked Emma Watson. He actually took out a personal business card and handed it to her, and said with a smile: "If you want to participate in Disney projects in the future, feel free to call me. In addition, I Remember that Miss Emma Watson is the heroine of "Beauty and the Beast," right? Remember that the project team previously conveyed to me that I can agree to all the requests you made and just go back and re-sign the contract."

In fact, Emma Watson has already signed a contract with the crew of "Beauty and the Beast". The salary she received has increased compared with the original, but naturally it has not reached her goal.

Now, with just one sentence from Robert Iger, a signed contract can be changed. This is probably the first case in all of Hollywood!
This was nothing. After Emma Watson thanked her, she began to sit aside and listen to the chat between Li Yue and the big boss. Then the more she listened, the more frightened she became.

"I have just met with David Geffen and have initially reached an agreement. The shares in his hands have basically been obtained. The only problem now is that P Fund has mastered 4.9% of the shares of [-]th Century Fox, which is about to exceed the announced limit. I We plan to make the acquisition public, what do you think?"

"In fact, it can be divided into two companies to carry out acquisitions at the same time. If it is made public rashly, it may cause the share price of [-]th Century Fox to rebound."

"The shares of the six major Hollywood companies are very dispersed. The largest shareholder's shareholding ratio does not exceed 10%. After holding 5% of the shares, you can almost take action. You know, I don't care about the extra money. As long as it can be resolved quickly, that’s fine.”

"Okay, President Li is still so fierce and domineering, I support you."

"Haha, I didn't expect that even Robert, you would call me president. Is it only now that I get your approval?"

"There is also meaning in this regard, and the P Fund has been operating well for a period of time, and it is time for you to serve as its chairman."

"Then Robert, do you also want to serve as honorary president, managing director, etc.?"

"Well, although I'm still hesitant, now that it's been done, let's get started. It's time to show the combined power of PLAY Group and Walt Disney!"

Emma Watson's blood was boiling, she wanted to stand up and yell, what did she hear?
Not only is his man at the helm of Disney an equal, the two of them even jointly planned to acquire [-]th Century Fox!
That's the big six in Hollywood, the jewel in the palm of the entire North American entertainment industry!It is one of the holy places of Hollywood movies, representing the supreme power in the entertainment industry!

In fact, my man has completed the initial planning, and now he has to stand up and announce the acquisition openly, and he has also formed a special fund for acquisition!
Even in the new organization called P Foundation, my man is the boss and the "president", and as the helm of Disney, Robert Iger is willing to act as his deputy!
What authority and strength this is!
Unbelievable, even more exaggerated than dreams!

Emma Watson felt like her head was exploding. It was just her self-cultivation as an actor that made her sit quietly and listen to the two powerful men in Hollywood talking. In their words, one of the six major production companies in Hollywood [-]th Century Fox is like fish on a chopping board, a target for them to slaughter!

That dreamlike feeling did not dissipate until Emma Watson mechanically followed Li Yue to say goodbye to Robert Egger and walked out of the restaurant. She looked at Li Yue blankly and asked softly: "Really? Li, Are you going to be the owner of Twentieth Century Fox?"

Li Yue is not a Hollywood person, so it is difficult for him to understand how Emma Watson is being impacted now. He just smiled and wrote lightly: "To be precise, it is becoming the largest shareholder, the shares of 75th Century Fox." It is too scattered, and a complete acquisition requires a huge amount of funds. Our goal is to acquire more than [-]% and achieve absolute control."

Obtaining 51% of the shares means controlling the company and can achieve most of the goals you want to achieve. However, small shareholders still have the right to object to some proposals that are obviously unreasonable and contrary to the interests of the company's small and medium shareholders, and even bring in government and other institutions to intervene. Confront major shareholders.

Obtaining 75% of the shares is called absolute control, which is equivalent to the boss holding 100% control of the company. Li Yue's acquisition of the company has always been absolute control.

To Emma Watson, this is still unbelievable, because in European and American values, spending excessive money to pursue absolute control is an act of "little value".However, in the face of things like Li Yuozheng teaming up with Disney to acquire [-]th Century Fox, everything seems not so unacceptable.

"Let's go. My main schedule today is to meet with the shareholders of Fox. I'm afraid this matter will be officially announced tomorrow, so before that, please keep it a secret for me."

"Oh~"

Emma Watson murmured in reply, still not recovering from the shock.

About half an hour later, she looked numbly at Spielberg, who appeared in front of her and was shaking hands with Li Yue. The four major film festival directors, founder of DreamWorks, and another top powerful figure in Hollywood were shaking hands with Li Yue. Small talk.

Afterwards, the two parties sat down, and after some friendly talks, Li Yue once again spent US$12 billion to acquire the relevant shares of [-]th Century Fox from Spielberg.

The whole process only took half an hour, shorter than the meeting between Leo and Robert Iger, but in such a short time, Leo spent so much money, and his shareholding in 9th Century Fox has soared to [-]%!

Emma Watson even replayed the conversation between Leo and Robert Iger in her mind. Disney started planning Twentieth Century Fox three years ago, so Disney still controls at least 10% of Twentieth Century Fox. As a result, the shares held by the P Fund have surpassed the largest shareholder, reaching an astonishing 20% ​​or so!

The dream continued. When the time came to 5 p.m., Emma Watson and Lee took off from Los Angeles International Airport, flew directly to Omaha, Nebraska, and then drove to the Berkshire Hathaway Hotel here. Thaway Company.

When she arrived here, Emma Watson already knew who the next guest Li Yue was going to meet, because everyone in the United States and even the world knew that this small city with a population of less than 40 was the home of a world legend. home.

Buffett founded Berkshire Investment Company here and has been retiring here. He has developed this company into a legend in the investment community, so that Omaha has also become a mecca for global investors. Every year, there are thousands of investors from all over the world. Investors come to Omaha to travel just to admire the stock god. It can be said that among the celebrities in the world, there is no one who has such great magic power as Buffett.

"Welcome, I'm Li Lu, welcome to Berkshire Hathaway."

In front of the company, Li Lu warmly welcomed Li Yue. He is one of Buffett's apprentices and has now become an independent company of Berkshire. Therefore, Li Yue was a little surprised when he saw him. He did not rush to see Buffett, but met with Li Yue. Lu shook hands and exchanged pleasantries.

"I didn't expect Xiaogu Shen to be here. As for Brother Lu's reputation, Li Yue has really been famous for a long time."

"Brother Li Yue is very polite. They are all from our own family. I met Uncle Li Zhaoji a few days ago. He was full of praise for you and said that you are a leading figure in contemporary Chinese. I have long wanted to get closer to you. This time is just right At the teacher's place, I heard that you were going to visit, so I specially waited here."

"It turns out that there is still this relationship..."

"If you think about it seriously, I am a mainlander and I should be closer to brother Li Yue..."

Among the greetings, Li Lu was more likely to praise Li Yue, with a very low attitude. This was really unexpected. He would be a real big boss in the domestic investment industry in the future. Not only did he learn from Buffett, but he was already in the country at this time Known as the "Buffett of China", the scale of private equity funds under his control has already reached 500 billion.

"Brother Li Lu is overly praised. Have you heard of the Li Family Global Clan Conference?"

"Of course, I'm just worried about my inferior status and don't dare to apply. If Brother Li Yue agrees, I will apply to the clan association right now?"

"How can this be called consent? With the status of Brother Li Lu, I must personally invite him..."

Chinese people are very modest when talking to each other, but they are both Li family members, so they are naturally close to each other.Of course, this is also due to Li Yue's growing reputation and wealth around the world. Otherwise, how could Li Lu, who is comparable to Hong Kong's little superman, speak like this? ?
This is also the role of the clan conference. After Li Yue took over, the influence of the clan conference has officially spread to the world, especially in Asia and countries with a large number of Chinese. A large number of rich and powerful people have poured in. What it brings is a powerful force that even Li Yue cannot ignore now. In fact, even if Li Yue wants to do something against the will of heaven, he can easily achieve it as long as he can make good use of the power of the clan meeting. .

Inviting Li Lu to join the clan meeting was just an episode of Li Yue's trip. The two chatted and walked, and soon Li Yue met the stock god Buffett in Berkshire.

The old man was diagnosed with prostate cancer a few years ago, which alarmed the head of the beautiful country. Now he looks much older. After seeing Li Yue, he only said a few words and then started talking about business.

"The teacher holds 4.5% of [-]th Century Fox's shares. Today's market's valuation of Fox is obviously low..."

"Although the market valuation is low, Hollywood's business model is over-mature. Even if it can continue to develop, it will be difficult to escape the fate of decline..."

"This is also the reason why the teacher is willing to sell shares, but if Mr. Li Yue's acquisition of shares is exposed, I believe that the valuation of [-]th Century Fox in the market will usher in a wave of increase, so in terms of the final price..."

"I maintain a lot of awe and reverence for the stock god, so I am willing to buy the shares from the old gentleman at a price that is [-]% higher than the market price..."

……

This was the most formal business negotiation today. Buffett spoke less. Most of the talks were between Li Lu and Li Yue. Li Lu showed off his "Buffett of China" edge. Even Li Yue, who has the template of a "financial elite", I also felt it was difficult in this negotiation.

However, Li Yue is the employer. As long as Buffett wants to sell his shares, he has a natural advantage, so the negotiation is ultimately determined according to Li Yue's price.

Compared with Li Yue's acquisition of the shares of David Geffen, Spielberg and others, there were not so many procedures this time. They were already in the most formal financial company in the world. As soon as the negotiations were completed, the two A contract has been placed in front of Li Yue and Buffett.

Under the witness of Li Lu and Emma Watson, the two signed the agreement and exchanged the contract text. When Li Yue left Berkshire, Li Lu took the initiative and gave Li Yue a gift. a gift...
