The Most Powerful Tycoon Reborn In Xiangjiang Chapter 501

  Chapter 501 Wheelock and Disney are ending at the same time (7K chapters, please subscribe~)

  Things have developed to the present, the acquisition of Wheelock has ended!

   But there are still many things that need to be finished, and there is no end.

  For example, the people of Xiangjiang now want to know where the shares held by Hehe International come from, and how they bypassed the Madden family to obtain more shares in Wheelock.

   And where did they get so much money?

For example, everyone also wants to know how John Madden will deal with such a situation. They will continue to hold the shares of Wheelock, willing to become the shareholder, director, and director of Wheelock from the helm of Wheelock. Still will continue to seek to sell Wheelock shares.

  Changshi has announced to stop the transaction with Wheelock.

   That is to say, Wheelock's stock is now in the hands of John Madden.

   "Qi Dezun, you and I have been friends for many years. The price of these stocks is 480 million Hong Kong dollars, and I will only sell your 450 million Hong Kong dollars. How about it?"

   John Madden, who was still very proud before, came directly to the headquarters of Hehe International today, found Qi Dezun, and asked for Qi Dezun's help.

   Facing the current John Madden, Qi Dezun has an absolute psychological advantage.

"My friend, I have told you before that 180 million Hong Kong dollars is the final price we can offer from Hehe International. If it exceeds this price, I think you should stop talking, so as not to hurt the relationship between you and me." Peaceful!"

John Marden felt like a volcano was erupting in his heart, and said in a cold voice: "If this is the case, then I can only continue to look forward, at worst, I will continue to hold the shares of Wheelock, and Wheelock will make a profit by then. Every penny counts for us!"

  Qi Dezun nodded and said: "Naturally, John, if you hold the shares of Wheelock, you will naturally enjoy the dividends of Wheelock, but since we are friends, I think I can tell you some things in advance.

  First of all, when Hehe International officially takes over Wheelock, we will cancel the unequal voting rights of Wheelock's AB shares.”

  John Madden's face changed suddenly, and he said directly: "This is impossible, the board of directors will not agree to your proposal!"

  AB shares vote differently, which is John Madden's last trump card. He must not lose this right, otherwise he will have no right to speak on the board of directors.

  Qi Dezun smiled confidently: "Hehe International is now the largest shareholder of Wheelock, with a voting rate of more than 51%, so even if the board of directors does not approve this proposal, this proposal will definitely be passed."

  John Madden froze on the spot, at this time he had no ability to fight back.

Seeing this, Qi Dezun continued to speak: "Secondly, we at Hehe International believe that the current debt of Wheelock is very unhealthy, so we decided to inject a large amount of money into Wheelock to alleviate the debt problem of Wheelock. My friend, If your Madden family wants to continue to hold the same proportion of Wheelock shares, then you must prepare funds."

   "You are trying to kill everything!" John Madden said angrily.

John Madden was not optimistic about the future development of Xiangjiang, otherwise he would not have sold the shares of Wheelock. In any case would not want to.

  But as long as I don't agree, the number of my shares in Wheelock will be gradually diluted under the target of Hehe International. At that time, let alone 180 million Hong Kong dollars, I am afraid that there will be no 100 million Hong Kong dollars.

Thinking of this possibility, John Madden's face softened, and he said softly: "My friend, you can't do this, have you forgotten? We are good friends, very good friends, I hope you see In the relationship between Wheelock and Hehe International, don't do that!"

Qi Dezun said calmly: "My friend, it is precisely because I still miss the friendship between you and me that I will give you the purchase price of 180 million Hong Kong dollars. Now, apart from Hehe International, which can give you this price , do you think anyone will give you this price?"

   "What if, if our Madden family just wants to be a shareholder of Wheelock quietly?"

  John Madden preached helplessly.

Qi Dezun shook his head and said: "John, don't say these things anymore, you won't believe this kind of words, and I won't believe them either. More importantly, our Hehe International's arrangement for Wheelock in the future is that there can only be One voice, that is the voice of our Hehe International!"

  John Madden's expression changed, "Are you going to delist Defeng and privatize it?"

  Qi Dezun did not deny it: "There will be such a possibility in the future!"

   "It's impossible!" John Madden said immediately: "If you want to delist Defeng and privatize it, you need a lot of stocks, a lot of cash, and the stocks of various companies under Wheelock"

   At the end of the talk, John Madden suddenly stopped talking, because he found that the problems he was talking about now seemed to be no problem for Qi Dezun.

  Hehe International's shareholding in Wheelock exceeds 60%. If you add your own, it will be more than 80%. It will not be difficult to delist Wheelock and privatize it.

  In addition, Hehe International not only bought the shares of Wheelock from the hands of Zhang Yuliang, but also the stocks of companies such as Real Estate Trust in the hands of Zhang Yuliang.

  They are already the major shareholders of the three real estate companies, and it is very possible that they want to delist and privatize.

   Finally, there is cash. Who knows how much cash Hehe International still has hidden if it can quietly withdraw so much cash?

  After thinking about all this, John Madden began to look sad.

  Qi Dezun sat there leisurely, feeling really good in control of everything, and the feeling of enjoying the flowers and applause after this matter is over will definitely be even better.

  Under his leadership, Hehe International has survived the crisis of survival, and now it has merged with Wheelock, officially becoming a super consortium that can stand shoulder to shoulder with Jardine, HSBC, and Jiaku in Xiangjiang!

  My name will be forever engraved in Xiangjiang's business history, and I will still be a successful person.

   "I want cash!"

  John Madden no longer has any room for bargaining. In this case, Hehe International, Wheelock, and shareholders' right to speak will be infinitely reduced.

  They completely lost the rights they should have!

  Facing John Madden's answer, Qi Dezun said with a smile, "No problem!"

  Since then, the acquisition of Wheelock has been completely over.

  After completing the equity transaction with John Madden, Qi Dezun immediately held a press conference, officially announcing that Hehe International holds 86.97% of Wheelock's shares and has become the largest shareholder of Wheelock.

  In view of the fact that Hehe International's holdings of Wheelock's shares have exceeded the maximum shareholder's shareholdings stipulated by the China Securities Regulatory Commission, Hehe International decided to initiate the delisting and privatization process of Wheelock and fully acquire all the shares of Wheelock on the market.

  Hehe International has entrusted this matter to Fengwu Securities, and all those who hold Wheelock shares can go to the Chinese Bank in Central to trade at Fengwu Securities!

  As soon as the news came out, it caused an uproar in Xiangjiang. Everyone could accept the acquisition of Wheelock by Hehe International, but no one could have imagined that Hehe International would delist Wheelock and privatize it!

  As for real estate trusts, United Real Estate, and Xialiwen Development, the shares are held separately by Wheelock and Hehe International, so they have not violated the regulations stipulated by the China Securities Regulatory Commission that a major shareholder who holds more than 50% of the shares must propose a comprehensive acquisition.

  So only Wheelock is delisted and privatized this time, but it does not include listed companies controlled by Wheelock.

   But no matter what, the delisting and privatization of Defeng still shocked the whole Xiangjiang.

   This is followed by an important question, where did Hehe International get so much money?

  Bank loans, consortium loans, or the entry of foreign capital?

   Without Qi Dezun's explanation, no one knows the truth of the matter.

   Then Qi Dezun sent an invitation to colleagues in the business world, and Hehe International will hold a reception to celebrate this victory! .

  The acquisition of Wheelock by Heung Kong came to an end, and the acquisition of Disney in North America began to ferment in North America.

   This incident first spread in Los Angeles and was first disclosed by the Los Angeles Times.

  'Snake swallows a whale, I was shocked to hear that the Hollywood upstart Apex Pictures has officially issued an acquisition to Disney, one of the eight major Hollywood production companies! ' -- "Los Angeles Times"

  When this news came out, it caused a sensation in Los Angeles, and it did not hesitate to take over with Heung Kong's Wheelock!

   Even more sensational than the Wheelock acquisition.

   After all, the consortiums that acquired Wheelock at the beginning were not weaker than Wheelock, or even stronger than Wheelock.

  But now the hard power of Vertex Pictures is obviously not as good as that of Disney.

  What else does Apex Pictures have besides a "Jaws"? Those two movies that didn't cost much?

  By the way, there is another movie released at the end of this year that is not written and starred by any famous actor at all, what else?

  While Disney is different, it is one of the eight major studios in Hollywood, with Universal, Warner, 20th Century Fox, Paramount, MGM, Columbia, and United Artists.

  There are countless classic IP animation characters under his name, as well as his own studio, Disneyland and so on.

   Now Vertex Pictures actually wants to acquire Disney. This is not a snake swallowing a whale, what is this?

So when everyone sees this report, the first reaction is that this is a fake news, but as other newspapers start to publish this news, and introducing KKR, which is already well-known on Wall Street, will help the apex After the news that the film industry completed the acquisition.

   No one doubts the authenticity of this news anymore!

   But this is even more surprising!

  Where did Vertex Pictures get their confidence?

  Suddenly, everyone who was acquainted and not acquainted came to Apex Pictures, wanting to ask Kelly about the progress of this matter.

  Because everyone understands that if Vertex Pictures really succeeds in acquiring Disney, the landscape of Hollywood will change.

In the face of these people's inquiries, Kelly always greeted them with a smile, telling them that Vertex Pictures is indeed looking for the possibility of acquiring Disney, but everything is still in the plan now, and the specific results will not be known until the end. able to know.

   "Is Kelly crazy? She actually wants to buy us Disney, why should he?"

In the Disney headquarters, Ronald Miller fell into madness. Although he is not optimistic about Disney's development in animation and movies, it does not mean that he wants to give up Disney. This is the asset left by his father-in-law, let alone he will not If you agree, even your own wife will not agree!

Wayne Durant, who was sitting opposite Ronald Miller, had a bad feeling in his heart at this time. Now Disney is preparing to discuss the end of the cooperation with Alder Commercial Bank. Disney's plan.

  Who will have the energy to study the termination of cooperation with Alder Commercial Bank now? Maybe the company will change its boss tomorrow!

   Alder Commercial Bank? Vertex Pictures? Chu Huan? Kelly?

   These four names suddenly appeared in Wayne Durant's mind, and his heart sank.

"Boss, this matter is a bit strange. Just as we were about to announce the termination of cooperation with Alder Commercial Bank, Kelly of Vertex Films, who has a good relationship with Chu Huan, announced that he would acquire Disney. Will there be any relationship between the two? What is the problem?

And just as the newspaper said, Vertex Pictures is just a newly established film company. Apart from the big-selling "Jaws", the only two films currently invested and produced in Hollywood are "Rocky" and "Star Wars". For unpopular movies, how could they have so much cash to buy Disney? "

Facing Wayne Durant's inquiry, Ronald Miller calmed down, "You mean, the other party doesn't really want to acquire Disney at all, but wants to make such an illusion and make us mess up. No longer discuss the termination of cooperation with Alder Commercial Bank?"

Wayne Durant nodded and said: "I can't think of any other possibility except this possibility, unless Chu Huan's Alder Commercial Bank loaned to Vertex Pictures, but such a huge amount of cash, if Alder Commercial Bank really loaned it If it is given to Vertex Pictures, it will be self-defeating, and now more people in the United States are paying attention to Alder Commercial Bank!"

   "But what did KKR's Jerry Kohlberg say, I received news that the other party has indeed come to Los Angeles and has already negotiated with Disney's shareholders!"

   Ronald Miller asked in a deep voice.

"Boss, don't forget that KKR was helping Chu Huan acquire Ford Motor Company, and now KKR is also assisting in the acquisition of Alder Commercial Bank. It can be seen that the relationship between Chu Huan and KKR is extraordinary. It should be no problem for Jerry Kohlberg to show his face in LA!"

  Wayne Durant has his own explanation.

   But his explanation was accepted by Ronald Miller, "Yes, the possibility of this is very high."

   After pondering for a moment, Ronald Miller said: "It seems that if we want to solve this matter, we need to have a good talk with Chu Huan!"

  I didn't mean that!

Hearing what Ronald Miller said, Wayne Durant immediately screamed in his heart. He analyzed this matter entirely to arouse Ronald Miller's hatred for Chu Huan. Only in this way, Ronald DeMille was able to more firmly refuse to cooperate with Alder Commercial Bank.

  Why is Ronald Miller going to have a good talk with Chu Huan now?

   This is what Wayne Durant can't understand. He has never really controlled a company, so he doesn't understand the mentality of a manager.

  The mentality of managers is to maximize their rights in the company and the company's future development.

   and nothing else.

  Ronald Miller's dislike of movies and animations does not mean that he is an unqualified manager. He just thinks that his ideas have more potential for development.

   "Boss, if you go to Chu Huan at this time, the other party will definitely make you give up and refuse to cooperate with Alder Commercial Bank, and you will be blackmailed by him at that time!"

   Ronald Miller didn't take Wayne Durant's reminder to heart. The most important thing now is to solve this trouble, not others.

   "I have already made a decision on this matter, you go out first!"

  Wayne Durant was stunned. He didn't expect that he would connect and participate. The chance to participate was gone.

   "Still going out?"

  Ronald Miller saw Wayne Durant inaction, dissatisfied preaching.

   "Yes!" Wayne Durant got up, ready to leave.

  Thinking that he may still need Wayne Durant in the future, Ronald Miller still said one more sentence when Wayne Durant was about to leave.

   "Wayne, the company will still ask you more in the future!"

  Wayne Durant nodded slightly and said, "Yes!"

   After Wayne Durant left, Ronald Miller called the office of the president of Alder Commercial Bank.

   "So, Ronald Miller has already guessed why we want to acquire Disney."

  In the evening, in Neverland, Kelly learned from Chu Huan that Ronald Miller called Chu Huan this afternoon.

   "Not all guesses are correct. He thinks that Vertex Pictures is doing the same, just to let them give up the matter of terminating the contract with Alder Commercial Bank, but he didn't guess that Vertex Pictures really wants to acquire Disney!"

  Chu Huan sat on the sofa in the study, fiddled with Kelly's blond hair and preached softly.

   "This is an opportunity for us!" Kelly immediately caught the problem.

  Chu Huan nodded and said, "So I made an appointment with Ronald Miller to meet tomorrow, not today."

   After finishing speaking, Chu Huan asked Kelly: "By the way, what happened to Edward Disney? Has he agreed to sell his Disney shares?"

  Kelly knocked off Chu Huan's funny hand, and then said: "Still struggling, but I think after the news of our official acquisition spreads, his inner defense will definitely loosen even more."

  Chu Huan lay back on the sofa, and said with a smile: "The acquisition environment in North America is better. As long as the price is right, there is no company that cannot be bought!"

  Disney's market value is 1.24 billion US dollars, and now a premium acquisition is affirmed. KKR's Jerry Kohlberg has received news that he has persuaded some Disney shareholders that they have agreed to sell their Disney shares.

  The average premium is 20%.

  If calculated at this price, the final cost of acquiring Disney will be 1.488 billion, which is 12 million U.S. dollars less than Chu Huan's estimate of 1.5 billion.

   But if KKR's commission is added, it will be almost the same.

Kelly leaned over Chu Huan and said softly: "It would be very difficult to buy from the founders, but they don't have the deep-rooted concept of the Orientals. In North America, business is business. As long as the price is right, it can be sold.

  Not counting the price difference they earned in the stock market, but now that Disney's stock price has a 20% premium, it has exceeded most of the return on investment, and they are naturally willing to sell. "

  Chu Huan nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "That's why I said, it is more suitable to do acquisition business in North America, as long as you have money!"

  Kelly smiled coquettishly, and said, "This problem is the most unsolvable problem!"

  Chu Huan heard what Kelly said, and suddenly thought of a chicken soup for the soul of later generations: As long as things can be solved with money, they are nothing!

   But in fact, the most difficult problem to solve in this world is how to get rich!

   "By the way, should I increase the purchase price when I negotiate with Edward Disney tomorrow?"

  Chu Huan thought for a while, and said: "Yes, you can decide the amount yourself, as long as it is not too much!"

  Kelly nodded slightly, and said with a smile, "No problem!"

  Next day!

   Kelly meets Edward Disney for the fourth time. During this time, Kelly has met with Edward Disney three times.

   It was the first time for Chu Huan to meet the current helm of Disney, Ronald Miller.

  Even though Ronald Miller begged Chu Huan this time, Chu Huan still saw disdain in the other party's eyes.

   This reminded Chu Huan of what Kelly told her at the very beginning, that Ronald Miller was an extreme racist!

   "Mr. Chu Huan has a good way to get Vertex Pictures to initiate the acquisition of Disney, so that Disney can stop canceling the cooperation with Alder Commercial Bank. I admit, Mr. Chu Huan, you did it!"

  Ronald Miller's very straightforward description also reflects his inner activities. Even if Chu Huan has the upper hand at this time, he still has the upper hand psychologically.

  I came to negotiate with you, Chu Huan, because of the involvement of Vertex Pictures, not because of you, Chu Huan!

Chu Huan felt the pride of Ronald Miller, and said calmly: "No, you are wrong. Vertex Pictures' acquisition of Disney was Miss Kelly's decision, and it has nothing to do with me. It is Disney's freedom to terminate the cooperation with Alder Commercial Bank, and I have no right to interfere, so these two things cannot be confused."

"Mr. Chu Huan, don't quibble. Everyone knows what happened to Vertex Pictures. How could they possibly have the capital to buy Disney? It was nothing more than Mr. Chu Huan's help and the promise of Alder Commercial Bank's funds to support Vertex. The film industry has the courage to do that."

  Ronald Miller said proudly: "In addition, I think KKR is also Mr. Chu Huan. You helped Vertex Pictures to contact you, right?"

  Although it is a question, it is extremely certain!

Chu Huan chuckled, did not answer Ronald Miller's question, but stood up directly, and said: "It is my personal behavior to contact KKR or not, and it has nothing to do with you, Ronald Miller, you You don't think I'm an employee of your Disney, do you?

  Here bosses me around, where does your confidence come from? Believe it or not, I can join Vertex Pictures' acquisition of Disney right now, what? I just don't know what to say! "

   Originally, he wanted to mediate with Ronald Miller here for a while, but now that he saw Ronald Miller's behavior, Chu Huan suddenly lost his mood.

  A man who relies on a woman to get up here is yelling at himself, he simply doesn't know what to say!

  Seeing Chu Huan mocking him like this, Ronald Miller's anger suddenly burned, and he stood up abruptly.

   "Chu Huan, this is North America, Los Angeles, not Xiangjiang!"

Chu Huan, who was about to leave, glanced back at Ronald Miller, and said calmly: "This is North America, it's Los Angeles, yes, but it doesn't belong to you, this is a world where money comes first, and I , the banknotes in your hands can completely smash you to death!"

   After finishing speaking, Chu Huan left straight away, never caring about Ronald Miller who was furious behind him! .

  Wayne Durant is waiting for Ronald Miller's return at the Disney headquarters, but when he sees the angry Ronald Miller, he still has some doubts in his heart.

   Didn't you go to negotiate with Chu Huan?

  How could it be like this?

   "BOSS, what happened?"

   "Extremely arrogant, extremely arrogant!" Ronald Miller sat in his seat, panting and angrily preaching. At this time, he looked like an angry bull.

   After he calmed down a little bit, he told Wayne Durant about the negotiation process with Chu Huan today, and then concluded.

   "This Chu Huan is simply too ignorant. I have already given him enough face, but he is still so ignorant, he is simply uncivilized!"

  Excitement arose in Wayne Durant's heart. The negotiation broke down. Okay, the negotiation broke down. It is completely impossible for Disney and Alder Commercial Bank to continue their cooperation.

Thinking of this, Wayne Durant immediately said: "Boss, I think we should immediately tell the North American media of our judgment, as long as they report Alder Commercial Bank's support for Vertex Films, Alder Commercial Bank That's it!

   At that time, Vertex Pictures will naturally not have the strength to acquire Disney! "

  Ronald Miller nodded and said: "That's right, I remember that the Wall Street Journal has always disliked Chu Huan very much. You should immediately contact the Wall Street Journal and tell them the results of our analysis!"

"OK!"

  Wayne Durant turns to leave Ronald Miller's office.

   At this time, Ronald Miller's secretary suddenly hurried into Ronald Miller's office.

   "BOSS, something happened!"

   "What does it look like in a panic?" Ronald Miller said dissatisfied.

At this time, the secretary could not care about Ronald Miller's reprimand, and hurriedly said: "Just now, Mr. Edward Disney announced through the TV station that he has sold all the shares of Disney in his hand to Vertex Pictures. This has nothing to do with Disney anymore. In addition, among the major shareholders, several shareholders also issued statements at the same time.

   Now, Vertex Pictures is the largest shareholder of Disney! "

   Huangshan continues to code words~~
