After Xiao Qi took away the shares of Alibaba and Yahoo Japan, of course the market value of Yahoo dropped a lot."
Although Yahoo has now been privatized by Xiao Qi, there is still a rough valuation.
Everyone has not realized how valuable the assets that Xiao Qi took away are. In addition, after experiencing the lowest point of the financial crisis, Yahoo's value has rebounded a bit, so Yahoo's market value has reached about 8 billion US dollars.
.
But taking advantage of the situation has always been what the capital market is best at. Xiao Qi often does this kind of thing, and now others are also using this trick on Xiao Qi.
Although Xiao Qi didn't care about Yahoo's development and was even willing to sell Yahoo as early as possible, selling it at such a low price really damaged Xiao Qi's reputation as a talented young man, so he kept putting it off.
If it wasn't even sold for US$5.5 billion, how could Xiao Qi sell it to Paul Allen for US$3.8 billion?
Bloomberg obviously knew this, but he still calmed down and said: "Of course, Allen is only willing to pay 3.8 billion in cash, but he owns all the shares of AMC Cinemas and is ready to transfer them to you for $1.
.Taking it all together, what do you think of the price?"
amc theater chain?
Isn’t this the second largest theater chain in the United States that Wanda will acquire in the future?
Regal, the largest theater chain in the United States, has 6,210 screens, and AMC, the second largest, has 5,010 screens. It is already very strong.
It's just that for these seven or eight years, due to continuous expansion and huge competitive pressure, they have been suffering losses and their profits are very poor.
In 2007, AMC planned to go public, but due to continued losses, it withdrew in despair; the second time it planned to go public was in 2010. But that time, before the final IPO process, it was directly robbed by Wanda.
Bought.
Wanda really got a bargain. Not only did it take AMC to the market, but the increase in 3D and IMAX ticket prices for blockbusters greatly increased the profits of theaters, making AMC a money-making tool for Wanda. Although
It’s not a lot of money, but it’s always stable and has a strong symbolic meaning.
Xiao Qi remembers that in 2012, Wanda spent a total of US$3.1 billion to purchase AMC.
However, Xiao Qi really didn’t know that AMC was actually Paul Allen’s property.
Now of course AMC Cinemas is not worth US$3.1 billion, but at least it is worth US$2 billion.
3.8 billion plus 2 billion, that is 5.8 billion US dollars. It is equivalent to a price of 72.5% of the market value. Although it does not reach Xiao Qi's goal, the meaning is completely different.
The significance of the amc theater chain to Xiao Qi cannot be simply calculated based on the amount of money. It has the same symbolic meaning as the fact that after Wanda bought the second largest theater chain in the United States, it directly made Wanda Cinema Line the world's largest theater chain. If
If Kiwi Cinema Line can swallow up AMC, then Kiwi Cinema Line will no longer need to buy European theater chains. It will directly become the world's number one theater chain.
Seeing that "Avatar" is about to be released at the end of this year, the era of 3D and IMAX is coming. Cinema lines, one of the important links in the film entertainment industry, will surely reap a huge harvest.
Buying it now is not only about money, but the status of the movie queen sister will also be completely different in the future. Even Hollywood companies and superstars want to please her. Just like domestic companies and celebrities now.
The wealth that Xiao Qi has purchased for each wife is basically in place now, and he will not deliberately add anything more. However, if he encounters a good opportunity, Xiao Qi will not mind buying more properties for his beloved wives.
.
Now it seems like it should be an unexpected surprise.
But, how did Paul Allen know that he would be interested in AMC?
Xiao Qi asked Bloomberg this question.
"Do you think we old men only know how to live and drink?" Bloomberg replied with a smile, "Last time you entrusted Tong Wencong to acquire the Canadian imax company, it attracted a lot of people's attention. As a result, the company ended up in China.
In the hands of a girl, you also built a cinema chain with more than 2,000 screens for that girl. This lets everyone know that you are very interested in this. When buying and selling, you must pay attention to what you like.
Since Allen has this bargaining chip, wouldn't it be a pity not to use it? After all, the United States is the largest film market in the world."
While talking, Peng Bo looked at Qian Niu and found that Qian Niu didn't have any jealous reaction. He thought that Xiao Qi was really good at treating women.
Although Xiao Qi had already accepted the price in his heart, he could not let Paul Allen raise the price. He had to increase the asking price himself.
"AMC's scale is good, but as far as I know, it has been losing money in the past few years, right? In the past two years, the loss has been as high as 100 million US dollars?" Xiao Qi said lightly, "Mr. Allen has a good idea, and he can
He got Yahoo and a good reputation, and he was able to get rid of the company that was losing money, but he took all the benefits. Are you sure that I am the fool who was deceived?"
"But no one dares to treat you as a fool." Bloomberg laughed dumbly, "You can bargain in business. What I'm talking about is Allen's idea. If you have any other requirements, you can definitely ask him."
"Actually, I don't have anything I want, but I heard that Mr. Allen has a ranch in New Zealand. I like the Middle-earth world in Lord of the Rings very much, so if Mr. Allen can part with it, I want to buy it.
"It." Xiao Qi said, "In addition, I am also very interested in Mr. Cameron's 3D technology. I know that Mr. Allen has some shares in the Cameron Pace Group Company, and I also want to buy it."
"Okay, I will convey it to you." Bloomberg nodded slightly. He didn't know the value of these two things, but he thought Allen would handle it well.
Although Allen is a playboy, his abilities and connections are very strong. Being able to make friends with Xiao Qi through buying Yahoo should be a very good harvest.
After Peng Bo left first, Xiao Qi stood up, picked up the steak plate next to him, and ate the already cold steak with a fork in a few bites.
"Wow, why did you eat my food?" Qian Niu didn't know when she woke up and stood up, pouting and staring at Xiao Qi with dissatisfaction.
"You stupid woman, you haven't even thanked me for coming to save you, and you are still worried about me eating your food?" Xiao Qi was also dissatisfied with her, and slapped her on the fat part, "Look at you, how tall are you?"
How much meat have you eaten? If you eat more meat, do you want your fans to see a fat female star?"
"Who has gained weight?" Qian Niu was furious again when she heard this, and turned around in front of Xiao Qi, "Look, I have a perfect figure. Can Taylor's figure be as good as mine? Besides, there is no fat on the butt and buttocks, then
Does it still look good? What is your level of appreciation?"
In her rage, Qian Niu had forgotten that Xiao Qi had taken advantage of her again just now, and she only wanted to seek an explanation for her proud appearance.
Xiao Qi laughed when he heard this, "Miss Kasha, it seems that you are in good spirits, and you don't look frightened at all! Originally, I planned to give you some of the 200 million US dollars Simon compensated, but it seems you don't need it anymore.
"
"How dare you!"
Kasha's whole body was shocked, her very beautiful face almost pressed against Xiao Qi's face, and she said word by word: "This is my money! If you dare to be corrupt, I will fight with you!!"
Okay.
Seeing how excited she was, the two bodyguards who were standing at the door quickly retreated quietly and gently closed the door.
These two bastards!
Before Xiao Qi could curse, suddenly Qian Niu pushed him hard and pushed him to the sofa to sit down.
Immediately afterwards, she threw herself down again and pressed on Xiao Qi's body.
Qian Niu is a pretty beauty. With such close contact, Xiao Qi, who has not tasted meat in these days, reacted naturally.
Qian Niu was wearing very little clothes, so she felt it right away.
Originally, she was going to threaten Xiao Qi for a while, but when such an embarrassing situation happened, she was so frightened that she immediately wanted to get up, but she failed to control her strength well, so her foot slipped and she fell into Xiao Qi's arms again.
"Ouch~"
When her head hit Xiao Qi's chin, she immediately screamed in pain and tears came out in the blink of an eye.
Now, she didn't have the strength to move.
"I said, I have never seen a woman as stupid as you." Xiao Qi looked at her tearful eyes and didn't feel funny. He helped her up and let her sit aside, "I said Xiao Qian Niu,
Why do you need so much money? You’re not afraid of holding on to 200 million US dollars? You didn’t even think of giving me, the hero, half of it?”
"What's 200 million US dollars? Buy a villa in Hollywood, buy a cruise ship, buy a plane and it's gone!" When money was mentioned, Qian Niu had to refute Xiao Qi no matter how much she had no strength, and she immediately came up with one
God made a twist, "But I don't spend any money. I keep it all at home and count my money every day for fun!"
Xiao Qi was shocked.
It took a while to wake up, "Qian Niu, you are a big singer, why don't you be so worthless?"
"You can take care of it~~" After talking about the two hundred million US dollars, Qian Niu became energetic again. She turned over and straddled Xiao Qi's body, looking at him condescendingly, "I can tell you, it's really, really
Don't take my money, otherwise sister, I'll knock you out in one go and let's see how you live the rest of your life! Do you understand?"
"knew!"
Xiao Qi was speechless.
I have no idea how poor this girl was in the past few years! (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.)
