Chapter 138 There is strength in numbers.
Chapter 138
The purchase of Fox in the 20th century was already prepared a year ago.
So after staying at the hotel, the next day, he went to that audit company to get the results of the investigation of Fox in the 20th century.
Then return to the hotel to consider the report carefully.
The money tree of Fox in the 20th century is "Star Wars", "Big Trial" and "Demon".
Others, you can only say barely.
Due to the strike of the American actors' association last year, many movies have not started shooting.
For example, the work of Stanley Jeff, the producer of the 20th century Fox's producer, "The Lantern", because of this, it was not available.
And now the 20th century Fox's president Dennis Stanfel, this person took office in 1971. Although he tried to reduce the cost of production, a large number of theaters were opened in Australia and New Zealand.
These theaters are now an important source of income from Fox. If it is not relying on these distribution channels, it is estimated that Fox will support whether it can support it.
In addition to Xu Luo, who wants to acquire Fox, there are Mark Rich and Davis.
The quotation of the two is $ 650 million.
If you want to win this company, Xu Luo expects that he will bid about 740 million.
Mark is a well -known speculator. It is said that the amount of tax evasion and taxation is at least billions.
And because of the trading with Iran during the hostage crisis, it is notorious when trading with Cuba and Libya during the US trade embargo.
So the pressure on Xu Luo is not great.
After reading the report, he went to KKR again.
When Jerom and others saw him, they were all surprised, and then excitedly rushed up to say hello.
"Mac, are you willing to come to the United States?"
"Guide, I thought you were going to develop in Hong Kong. Before you come to New York, you should give us a phone call."
"Frankly, I miss the days when I make money with you. During this time, you are not there, we all feel lack of passion."
"..."
Xu Luo hugs them one by one.
Seeing this, Zhu Wenyu has a new understanding of Xu Luo's ability.
At present, he comes from the United Kingdom to the United States, and all shows business communication, and does not show academic connections.
It can be seen that in addition to deep research in academics, he also has a lot of time to do other things.
Jerom's eyes fell on Zhu Wenyu, "Mac, is this your wife?"
"No, she is my secretary." Xu Luo introduced Zhu Wenyu's identity.
After saying hello, he asked Zhu Wenyu to wait outside while he, Jerome and others went into the office for a meeting.
After everyone took their seats, Xu Luo looked around and said, "Guys, I need your help now."
"You said, as long as we can help, we will definitely help." Jerome expressed his stance first.
Others also expressed their thoughts, "Mac, tell me, as long as it is within the scope of your ability, we definitely have no objection."
"Yes man, you have to trust us."
Xu Luo brought them a lot of profits from the last partnership. Now that Xu Luo said he was in trouble, they naturally would not stand idly by.
"I want to acquire 20th Century Fox, but I don't have that much money." Xu Luo got straight to the point, "So I want the guys to help me."
Henry thought for a moment, "20th Century Fox? This film company's "Star Wars" is pretty good, but you plan to eventually turn it into your own industry, right?"
"Yes." Xu Luo nodded and admitted, "But I need to raise about 800 million US dollars to acquire this company, and I also need the help of all the guys to help with the matchmaking."
Jerome said: "800 million U.S. dollars is not difficult for us. We don't even need to issue junk bonds. Since you are optimistic about this company, we will help you get this thing done together."
"Thank you!" Xu Luo said seriously.
Michaelson laughed and said, "Next time you can help us make a lot of money."
Everyone also had the same expression on their faces.
The green blackmail operation that Xu Luo led them to generate money was so fast that just thinking about it makes people want to do it again.
"By the way, has DuPont purchased Continental Petroleum now?" Xu Luo asked casually.
Jerome said: "DuPont and Continental Petroleum jointly used legal means. They alleged that Mobil's acquisition may lead to violations of the Antitrust Law."
"Now the U.S. Department of Justice has launched an investigation into the acquisition war between the three parties and believes that although Mobil's acquisition is a horizontal acquisition, it cannot decide whether it is legal until an investigation and hearing."
Hearing this, Xu Luo asked again: "We didn't get angry, did we?"
"As you said, we were only in a hostile takeover, and the high bid was not our idea, so the Department of Justice did not cause us any trouble." Henry took over.
After several people reached an agreement, they began to make plans for the acquisition of 20th Century Fox.
Jerome said: "Mac, just leave this matter to us. I believe that within two months, we will be able to let you own this company."
Then the topic turned, "Guide, you take us a lot of money last time, this time we have to let you see our ability."
The advantage of holding a group is that some people help raise funds, some people go to contact with Fox's shareholders, and some people help professional surveys.
And no need to lead Xu Luo.
This is the benefits of human connections.
Since Jerom said that, Xu Luo was also clean. Last time, they had made a lot of money. If they helped the acquisition successfully this time, at most, they would pay a little.
His acquisition technique is no different from Jerom and others. These people's operations are similar to themselves.
"Okay, but this time I don't intend to acquire in the name of ACC, but use my name." Xu Luo said, "After all, I hope I will become the new shareholder of this company."
Jerom and others have no opposition.
Entrusted to Jerom and others for the 20th century Fox's plan, Xu Luo simply rest.
Walk towards the New York Stock Exchange.
"Boss, is this company also yours?" Zhu Wenyu, who was around, looked back at KKR's signboard, and asked curiously.
Xu Luo shook his head, "How can I have so many companies? This is cooperated with others."
He hasn't figured out the head of Zhu Wenyu yet. If he asked directly, he would only fight the snake, and if the hand behind him was exchanged for other people, he would not be able to fight.
Therefore, in some areas that are not sensitive, there is no need to hide it at all, and it must be displayed in a large square.
"I thought this company was also the boss." Zhu Wenyu pouted and smiled, "But I believe that the boss can open a company on Wall Street soon."
Xu Luo also smiled, "Maybe."
Go to the NYSE for a while for a while.
The situation is not optimistic.
There is almost no possibility of fishing in the stock market for a short time.
But there are other ways to make money.
Because Wall Street has always made money with stocks.
