Chapter 872 Marvel
The latest chapter of Rebirth of the 92 Business Tycoon is updated the fastest!
As soon as Feng Yiping entered the door, a lot of people looked at him with eager eyes. UBS's Matteo was particularly eager.
The circle has mixed praises and criticisms of the rich man Kcorian. If it is not necessary, he will be easy to show up in public and be interviewed. However, for banks like UBS, like Feng Yiping, this old man often brings great surprises to people.
Just like when he was young, boxing seemed to be quite promising, but he immediately chose to become a pilot because of a flight. Many of his decisions during the entrepreneurial process were also very sudden.
For example, he did a good job in the aviation industry, but suddenly quit and devoted himself to the casino and hotel industry. When he was making a lot of money in the casino and hotel industry, he chose to become a movie tycoon without warning. Later, while selling and buying MGM, he suddenly entered the automotive industry and spent a huge amount of money to become Chrysler's largest shareholder.
He was not satisfied with becoming a shareholder. In 1995, he joined forces with the then Chrysler CEO to launch a hostile acquisition of the original Chrysler company with a total amount of US$23 billion - he played big enough and wanted to become the owner of Chrysler. Of course, the acquisition failed.
It was also a loss that he failed to succeed, otherwise it would be very likely that Chrysler would be another company he bought and sold.
But how could he give up?
He failed to acquire Chrysler himself. Half a year after Mercedes-Benz acquired Chrysler in 1998, he sued Daimler-Chrysler Automobile and its president, saying that they used deceptive methods to win the merger success in the merger process of the two automobile companies and sought compensation of up to $9 billion!
These include a 2 billion acquisition premium loss, a 1 billion stock price loss, and punitive damages twice the actual loss (i.e. 6 billion).
Although the court did not support his request in the end, the defendant paid a total of up to hundreds of millions of dollars. The bigger setback was that Chrysler's stock price fell from more than $100 at the time of the merger to just $42, and its market value evaporated by more than 60%!
His difficulty in provoking and radicalization can be seen from this.
However, banks like to have big fun like this, because such people can bring them great surprises, and they must admit that the old man's troubles are indeed quite good.
So this time, what is he going to trouble when he comes to Feng Yiping?
Feng Yiping didn't say anything, looked at the door. Over there, Kerkorian came in from the backyard surrounded by a group of people, smiled and nodded to them, and walked towards the front door of the restaurant.
The people around him, except for a few executives of the Tracinda Group, could be distinguished at a glance. They were all bodyguards. Those tall and powerful bodyguards surrounded him in the middle, so that no one outside could see him.
Unlike Feng Yiping and others who are also engaged in the high-tech industry and have a pure and innocent upstarts, since ancient times, gambling has been inseparable from black. As casino tycoons in Las Vegas, they do have a 120,000-year need to pay attention to their personal safety.
"Feng," Cummins put a small pot in front of Feng Yiping, which is cheese hotpot.
In fact, it is the same as our domestic hot pot, but it only replaces clear soup or red soup with melted cheese.
There are indeed not as many types of shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-sha
Feng Yiping shook his head at Matteo, and the latter understood in a flash, but there was no chance this time? So why did Kcorian come to you so presumptuously?
Of course, he naturally had no time to ask these words. Feng Yiping shook his head to him, fully explaining that today's kindness still worked.
That's good, so there will be opportunities in the future.
After drinking two glasses of wine with Luka and everyone, he said goodbye very tactfully, allowing Feng Yiping and the others to communicate freely.
"Feng, what's the matter?" Cummins asked immediately as soon as they left.
Several people, including Sandberg, came over.
Feng Yiping waved his hand, "It's nothing, it's just a matter of getting to know each other and exchanging some opinions,"
This is also a reasonable saying. Most people immediately discussed Feng Yiping's two new proposals before.
Only Cummins knows that this is not the case, because Feng Yiping asked him to check MGM's stock price last year and now.
He also paid attention to the fact that MGM was going to be sold again, but Feng Yiping saw the market value of MGM and rejected it without thinking. He didn't care much afterwards. He only knew that Sony won and was waiting for approval from the US and European regulators. It was a foregone conclusion that all of this has something to do with him?
Soon, he saw some clues from the information he received. MGM's current stock price was not much different from before reaching a acquisition agreement, and it was still only 11 faster.
From such data, Feng Yiping also saw the answer he wanted. Sure enough, the market is generally not optimistic about this merger and acquisition.
Because according to convention, after the relevant information is disclosed, the stock price of the acquired company will always rise by a considerable extent, but this did not happen this time.
Cummins was a little stunned, so he blurted out a very low-level sentence, "Do they want to go back on their word?"
What he said naturally refers to the acquirer led by Sony.
But he immediately refused to dominate himself. The road was already ready and the rice had been cooked. How could he regret it?
Not to mention the negative impact this may have on the corporate image, they cannot afford the relevant compensation liability.
With Ccorian's temperament, they dared to repent, and the amount of compensation they claimed might be higher than the amount of acquisition.
"He wanted to transfer the shares he held to me, but I refused," said Feng Yiping.
"Oh," Cummins's eyes flashed a little. One of the eight old Hollywood brands was still very attractive to him.
Especially they have the right to issue.
But since the boss is not interested, he can't do anything about it.
Xiao Za and the others were discussing very enthusiastically at this time, and were discussing why Google Q&A was not successful with Sandberg, a former Google employee.
Feng Yiping interrupted, "We must realize that a good Q&A website, generally speaking, profit will be a problem," he said.
This is like Zhihu, which was later popular in China, has style, users, and popularity, but it is difficult to make money.
"But I think this is very likely to become a killer application, which will greatly promote the development of our related services. For example, if a person like us who arrives in Davos for the first time, if he asks on Facebook which restaurant here is the most popular, I think he will soon get help from netizens I didn't know before," Xiaozha is optimistic about this feature.
"So, can search for these answers be found?" Sandberg asked another question. "If we can search, obviously, fewer people will use our services, but if we close this service, there will be very likely fewer people involved,"
"No, I think this is a good opportunity...," Mike joined the discussion.
Feng Yiping smiled and asked them to discuss first. He whispered to Cummins, "Is there any progress on Marvel?"
This was the one thing that reminded him of Kcorian's proposal.
Compared with MGM's film library that already has an age-old film, he feels that the new films that Marvel will be able to achieve great success in the future, the many superheroes in its comics and the huge reading groups of Marvel comics around the world are worthy of their love.
Moreover, Marvel's life has been bad over the years, and it looks like a good acquisition window.
"This," Cummins looked puzzled. "We have contacted each other several times, but still failed to meet Permutter."
He is talking about Isaac Permut, the head of Marvel.
“Pelmut almost never attends public events and hardly shows up in Hollywood,”
Feng Yiping only mentioned it to him, perhaps Cummins, who had a lot of things, did not have much experience in this matter.
"Take this as an important matter," Feng Yiping said. "First collect relevant information in all aspects, and finally, we will find someone to introduce it."
He believed that just by the people he knew in the United States now, there were really no one he wanted to see but could not see.
"I understand, I'll do it right away," Cummins said.
The boss attaches so much importance to it, will he definitely acquire Marvel?
