   Chapter 848 Unspoken

   "PayPal will help RICK to issue a high-end luxury consumer goods index fund to help more users who are interested in investing in the luxury industry to invest in the luxury brand industry!

   Using RICK's equity, as well as brands such as Victoria's Secret, Balenciaga, Gucci and other brands as collateral, issue a batch of bonds, and the rest of the acquisition funds are borrowed from Wall Street institutions, banks, etc. I don't think they will refuse to provide this loan to RICK! "

After getting in the car, Song Yang said to Eric that he had already negotiated with Immelt. With Song Yang and Immelt present, the ICQ board of directors would oppose the decision to sell Seagram Wines even if the rest of the board of directors were against it. , Song Yang and Immelt joined forces to force this resolution with 40% of the vote.

   Not to mention, Comcast, the Telephone and Telegraph Group, Goldman Sachs, the Bronfman family, etc., have not raised any objections. It is not uncommon to play this kind of flower work on Wall Street, and it can even be said to be tacit.

Today, Immelt can sell Seagram Wines to RICK Group at a low price, creating benefits for Song Yang, the major shareholder. Someday, other major shareholders of ICQ, what kind of income are they interested in, do you need Immelt? provide them? !

   Today ruined RICK's good things. After that, other major shareholders, don't even think about getting good things from ICQ, including Immelt himself.

Using the PayPal payment platform to raise funds for Rick's company is no longer a showy operation. Last time, PayPal issued a sports fund for Bruno Yankees Sports Company, so that countless leeks followed the Bruno family foundation to invest in the sports industry and became Liverpool. , the Yankees and other teams are nominal shareholders, but they are well received.

   This time, let the leeks follow RICK and invest in the luxury goods and beverage industries, which is naturally a matter of course.

In fact, this time it is not too much to cut leeks. The high-end luxury goods industry has been developing explosively over the years, and it is not affected by the economy. There will be more and more rich people, no matter how bad the economy is, there is no shortage of them. Rich people buy big-name luxury goods.

PayPal issues this high-end luxury consumer fund. In addition to providing a sum of cash for Rick, it will also buy LVMH Group, Richemont, Kering, L'Oreal and other luxury goods and cosmetics stocks. Leek, you can hold it patiently for more than ten years, and it is no problem to double it. Of course, this is also theoretical. In fact, it depends on the manager of PayPal who is in charge of this fund, whether he will play other means, whether he is black or not. Wait, after all, money is in someone else's hands...

In addition to raising a sum of money for Rick with PayPal, Song Yang will definitely not pay the billions of dollars in the acquisition of Seagram's wine industry. Investment banks, foundations, overseas consortiums, etc. issue bonds and borrow a large sum of US dollars.

As for those banks, whether or not they will borrow Rick's huge US dollar is not a problem at all. As long as they are not blind, they all know about this transaction. Rick has taken advantage of it. At the price of 4 billion US dollars, the purchase should be worth it. The Seagram wine industry of eight billion or even more than ten billion dollars.

   Even if the money is refunded to the end, RICK company will not pay the money, auctioned the Seagram wine industry, sold the Royal Salute, Chivas, Martell and other brands, it is estimated that they can get their money back!

   If you have a bargain, you won’t take the bastard, let alone RICK. Basically, you can make a steady profit without losing money. As long as you make a sound, some banks and institutions are willing to come to your door to provide ammunition and share a cup afterwards.

   If it wasn't to deal with the Internet bubble that could burst at any time from this year to next year, and it was necessary to leave enough cash flow to deal with the unexpected, Song Yang could tinker with this $4 billion acquisition money.

   Raised by PayPal's issuance fund, and then mortgaged a large sum of US dollars from Prosperity Bank, which is owned by PayPal, enough to swallow Seagram's wine industry, without a drop of fat water flowing out...

   After waiting for most of the sound on the private jet, when I was anxiously waiting, Edgar Bronfman Jr.'s phone finally rang.

After answering the phone and hearing the news from the phone, little Edgar felt like he was struck by lightning, and it was half a ring before he questioned the caller loudly, "What did you say, four billion dollars, Seagram The wine industry sold four billion dollars?!"

  Even if it was "it's none of my business", when he heard that Seagram's wine industry was sold at a low price of four billion dollars, little Edgar couldn't help it.

   Knowing this price, little Edgar can let the Bronfman family raise the knife and sell the Seagram wine business.

Little Edgar knew that Immelt would do flower work, but he didn't expect that he would dare to be so bold. Gram Wine Industry, he dared to sell it for four billion dollars.

Little Edgar instinctively felt that there must be some doorways and inside stories that he didn't know, but it still made him feel that his three views were impacted. He didn't expect that Immelt and the others would dare to play so big, and then Thinking of his acquisitions of Universal Pictures, Polygon, etc., Little Edgar couldn't help but wonder if he was also tricked by his professional managers. Thinking of this, Little Edgar's face flushed even more.

   But the person on the other end of the phone, facing little Edgar's question, just responded coldly, "This is Immelt's decision. If you have any opinions, you can go to Immelt!"

The person who tipped off Edgar Jr. was one of Immelt’s subordinates. Edgar Bronfman Jr. promised a lot of benefits in private, asking him to provide Jr. Edgar with some of Immelt’s side. The news that as a wealthy family, buying people's hearts is a compulsory course, but little Edgar used to be unable to let go of his figure, or felt that there was no need to win over those people, but now it is different...

"I see, it's hard work for you," Little Edgar gritted his teeth and calmed himself down, "in your letterbox, there is an anonymous check worth $30,000, I wish you and your family a Have a great weekend and work together!"

Hearing Edgar's words, the tone of the person on the other end of the phone obviously became a little bit happy. His salary is not low, but if he can get extra money, why not do it, just share some news In advance, just tell little Edgar in advance, anyway, little Edgar is now "his own", and he is not the only one who inquires about the news.

"take off!"

   Little Edgar said coldly to the flight attendant of the private jet, if he didn't leave this ghost place, little Edgar felt that he was about to take it no longer.

He glanced at Connecticut below the plane. Little Edgar knew that Song Yang must be somewhere below. It feels like the days are still long. He is going to participate in the ICQ management meeting. There is a chance to fight with Song Yang again!

"The ICQ board of directors passed a resolution to formally complete the merger and acquisition of the Bronfman Group and complete the reorganization of the Bronfman Group. The original Bronfman Group's Universal Pictures, Universal Studios, Universal Music, etc., will be integrated with ICQ, ICNC TV, NBC, etc. With further cooperation between the Group and others, ICQ will allow Universal Pictures and others to enter the Internet industry.

  In the future, ICQ will work with Universal Pictures, Universal Music, etc. to provide more services and benefits for all artists, audiences, users, etc., and will have deeper cooperation with Saipan Music Store, IMDb and other companies...

   In order to better manage and cooperate, President Immelt and ICQ's board of directors have split and sold some of the original Bronfman Group businesses, returning cash for ICQ! "

Regarding Seagram's wine industry, ICQ only mentioned it in the announcement, threatening that this transaction is just to exchange a cash flow for ICQ. As for the rest, the leeks can't see anything. .

It’s not that Watson has discovered blind spots. In the luxury and wine industries, the news that Seagram’s wine industry has been sold at a low price has spread all over the sky, but it is only under the skyrocketing stock price of ICQ, and in the face of today’s most expensive company in America. The powerful Immelt, the major media are a little tight-lipped, even if they know the inside information, because of Immelt's power, they all pretend to be deaf.

There are several media that reported on Seagram's wine industry. After the report, the newspapers, TV stations, etc. that reported soon received a call from the public relations company, and immediately chose to cancel the report, and then fell into a calm situation. Among them, only the tout of ICQ's acquisition of the Bronfman Group and the soaring of ICQ's stock price remained!
