Chapter 59

At the same time as the "Forbes" rich list caused controversy, after more than two months of intense games, Chris successfully won the Limited company at the final price of 2.4 billion USD, and the original first shareholder Leslie Wexner of Limited was out and signed the contract. On the same day, Limited announced the merger with Brighton Fashion Company.

With a series of complex financial operations, Chris has only surpassed less than 1 billion USD funds throughout. In addition to the 600 million USD invested by Firefly, the other 400 million USD is debt financing through Brighton Fashion Company to complete the acquisition and After the subsequent merger, the Limited shares held by Firefly Investment and Brighton Fashion Company reached 62%, achieving a complete and complete holding.

"If you follow the Wall Street rules, this is actually just the beginning," Chris said on the phone after Eric detailed the entire process of the acquisition. "As long as the company's departments are streamlined and reorganized, the In the short term, the company's performance will be greatly improved, and the stock price will be increased. Then we will be able to split and sell the business of Limited and cash out enough funds to pay off debts. In this way, we can fully realize the investment acquisition cycle of an investment company. Unfortunately ... "

The sigh of Chris has not been exported, the voice of Emily faintly came over the phone: "Chris, what a pity you are, we bought Limited for business purposes, and not for turning it into you greedy and evil Wall Street Copying personal toys. "

"Emily, I have been working for more than twelve hours a day for two consecutive months. I just won Limited for you. Do you judge me that way?"

In the light laughter of a group of people, the voice of Emily sounded again, and it grew louder: "But this is the truth." Then, the microphone may have been snatched by Emily, and the voice also revealed that it was difficult to suppress Excited: "Hi, Eric."

Although Los Angeles has not yet reached the end of work, New York is estimated to have arrived at night. Eric took a mobile phone from the Firefly studio post-production center through the cement corridor of the park, pushed the door into the administrative building, greeted a studio executive who was approaching with his eyes, and continued to the microphone: "Hi. Emily, are you driving party?"

Emily replied: "Yes, Miss Roberts is also here Oh, and Emma, the little guy is so cute. I heard she called you Papa?"

Listening to the full tone of Emily gossip, Eric satisfies her curiosity, saying: "Yeah, I think this is a good way to teach Xiaxia and Kevin to learn to shout Papa in advance."

Emily did n’t even deny that he saw Eric, it seemed a bit discouraged, but he quickly said, "Oh, I have n’t congratulated you yet, Mr. Richest Man in the World."

"Thank you, but it should be more accurate than the richest man in United States."

"The richest man in United States is, of course, the richest man in the world," Emily said with the confidence that United States people have. Tao: "However, after you said that after taking Limited, you have to personally create a promotional plan for the company. Is it possible to start now?"

"You know, I have been busy recently. You guys are celebrating party, but I am going to have a conference call now, and I don't know when I can get off work."

Emily was not touched by the words of Eric, and asked: "Then you talk about what you plan to do first, so I can prepare in advance."

Eric pushed the door into the meeting room. Zhao Michael Lynn and others who have been waiting here greeted each other and sat down in their seats before accelerating the tone to Emily: "Then you start to contact professional model, don't be limited to United States domestic. Latin America, Europe and top countries in Asia Both model, Oh, by the way, definitely not the kind of thin and dull face fashion professional model, and first of all have to have measurements. flat-chested is absolutely not acceptable, I plan to personally plan a underwear Catwalk for Victoria's Secret. "

Emily was about to continue questioning. Eric hurriedly said goodbye and then hung up the line. It turned off the mobile phone. There was no way. If you do n’t turn off the phone, do n’t think about the meeting.

Leaving Motorola aside, Eric looked at the conference phone on the table and asked the Alan sitting next to him, "Is Jeffrey online?"

As soon as Alan raised his head to answer, the voice of Jeffrey was heard from the speaker of the conference phone: "Eric, I am here."

"That ’s good," Eric gently patted his hands habitually: "Go ahead, Jeffrey, please tell everyone about what happened this afternoon."

Katzenberg paused on the phone for a moment, and seemed to be sorting out his thoughts, and soon introduced the latest situation that occurred during the afternoon negotiation.

During the negotiation process in the afternoon, the representatives of ABC TV Network no longer suddenly adopted the sawing tactics as in the past. In the negotiation process, their attitude suddenly became tougher, and for the first time, they clearly proposed that ABC could Accepted trading plan.

"The management of ABC issued each tradable share that can only be converted into preferred shares without voting rights. After proposing this condition, representatives of ABC stated that until we give a final reply, they will not Start negotiations. I personally feel that ABC management must be under pressure from the shareholder level again, and want to complete this M & A transaction as soon as possible. This situation should be related to the recent media situation. It can be said that the media we have set The PR strategy is working. "

The voice of Katzenberg fell, and Alan, sitting next to Eric, had handed a draft paper filled with the results of the calculation data to Eric.

The total share capital of ABC TV Network is about 200 million10,000 shares. According to the price per share proposed by ABC, the final transaction amount is 1.5 billion USD, .USD is equivalent to 3% of the price per share, which means that ABC wants to exchange 3% of the shares The same 3% shares of Firefly Pictures, but also the cash of 100 million USD.

Before issuing a public acquisition, Firefly has obtained a 3.9% stake in ABC TV Network. "

The other three people in the meeting room heard Katzenberg and all looked at Eric with excitement in their expressions.

Obviously, although the debate over the number of Eric personal assets has not stopped in recent days, no one can deny the fact that Eric created the Firefly Pictures miracle in just six years. As the media digs deeper and deeper into Firefly Pictures-related information, in the face of the rapid growth of Firefly Pictures's strength and scale, the other shareholders of ABC TV Network have been unable to breathe. Want to join the Firefly Pictures camp as soon as possible. The invitation of State Street ’s Universal fund Chairman is a more obvious hint. Everyone can imagine that if Katzenberg goes to the banquet, he will definitely not be the one of State Street Universal fund Chairman, or perhaps other shareholders of ABC TV Network.

Jeffrey looked at the silent thinking Eric, waited for a while, and finally could n’t help saying: “Eric, if we can avoid Warren Buffett and Tom Murphy, get the shares in the hands of other shareholders, or even obtain a controlling stake. Then we have enough Strength alone promoted the cooperation between ABC and Firefly. "

Eric shook his head and said: "It is definitely not possible to bypass Buffett. If you realize that you have been betrayed by other shareholders of ABC, then things will definitely get worse. Do n’t forget that Tom Murphy is not only a major shareholder of ABC TV Network Is still the helm of ABC TV Network, he has enough strength to completely mess up the situation of ABC TV Network. Moreover, their shares are close to 4% after all, if a stalemate will form in the future. ABC TV Network will definitely be the battlefield of both of us. I want It is a powerful national TV Network, not a "ruin". "

Frank Wells said: "Then what should we do next, seriously, I still want to finish this booth as soon as possible, and then go on a vacation."

Eric froze for a while and heard the word ‘Vacation’ in Frank Wells ’s mouth, and some information popped up in his head, suddenly raised his head and said: “Frank, where are you going on vacation?”

In my memory, Frank Wells was unfortunately killed in a helicopter crash in 1994.

"Alps," Frank Wells replied with a smile, but quickly added another sentence: "Of course, if the work here requires, I can go again next year."

"Then next year," Eric also realized that it was overreacting and pretended to laugh casually: "You can take some rest next year, but I ’m afraid it wo n’t work this year. Even if the acquisition is completed, there is still a big thing to follow Heap, you are the deputy of Jeffrey, of course you ca n’t walk away at this time. "

The Frank Wells has been greatly affected by the butterfly effect. Even if he is put on vacation this year, it is estimated that he will not accidentally encounter another accident. Eric will push things back one year. If he can still encounter this Unfortunately, it can only be considered a providence.

"Oh, no problem," Frank Wells agreed with a smile, saying: "Eric, let's talk about the business."

"Well," Eric nodded and said, "I think that since some shareholders of ABC have already leaned towards us and have put pressure on ABC management again, we can also add some chips on our side, Let ABC put more pressure on it. Even, if it is possible to convene a general meeting of shareholders to vote at the end, it would be better to leave the management to complete the transaction. "

"This method is feasible," said Katzenberg on the conference phone: "If next year we release the news that the acquisition transaction between ABC and Firefly will collapse, then the initiative will definitely return to our side. In addition, I will go to David West later. At the banquet there, you can also invite them to speak out in the media to facilitate this transaction. "

Michael Lynn also added: "We have 1.47 million shares of ABC in our hands. If we sell one of the batches in the next few days to suppress the share price of ABC, I believe this drama will be more exciting."

Several people, you quickly discussed the specific plan with a word, because Katzenberg was going to the banquet. Eric did not let this meeting last too long. After the final plan was finalized, Eric said: "Since this matter has reached the final stage, we must also be prepared. Before this Oscar awards ceremony, I hope the two parties can finally reach a deal agreement. Therefore, it can be said that this action is not a play. Because we The time is not so ample, after the transaction is completed, a series of layouts for ABC will be required. These will take time. If the acquisition cannot be completed before then, we must resolutely transfer the target, the Jack Welch of General Electric was sent a few days ago E-mail me, GM has an absolute controlling stake in NBC, so negotiations are much easier than here, as long as we can get GM, then we can win. Of course, this is only the final choice, we have been sitting so much Work, until the last minute, Firefly will never give up. "

TV Station has lost the 《Friends》 of the original time and space, plus the management of the past few years has been (unfinished.)
