Perfect Life

It took two days for John Days to collect three large boxes of various materials weighing dozens of kilograms. From the establishment of Columbia, the development of various stages, the information of the heads and important managers of various periods, to their enviable film source library, to their nearly 30 years of production success and failure history, until recently The box office, market feedback, word-of-mouth, etc. of the films they produced in five years.

Of course, the details of all the acquisitions and mergers they have participated in in their history are indispensable.

Exhaustive and all-encompassing.

Moreover, when he sent the information, he looked as if he understood and said: "BOSS, I can make sure that in the process of collecting this information, I have not alerted any relevant parties. From the FBI, to Columbia, and Coca-Cola. , everything, oh, and the American people too!"

When he said this, he had a sultry face and looked very excited.

Having been in Hollywood for many years, from a production assistant with little background, to becoming a big-name producer step by step, and becoming a collaborator of James Cameron, John Dyce is obviously a smart person. At that time, Li Qian said that he suddenly had an idea, and asked John Days to help him collect information. Maybe he didn't respond for a while, but the information was all collected, and two days had passed. I haven't thought about it yet, I haven't figured out what Li Qian wants to do, that's insulting the IQ of the entire Hollywood.

The producers, brokers and top managers who roam the upper echelons of Hollywood are a group of smart people whose IQ is not inferior to that of the world's top elites in the Manhattan financial circle in New York.

John Days is not a leader, at least he is in the upper middle class, although his current status has slipped.

Moreover, he was smart, and he was very excited and interested in this matter, but after sending the materials, he quickly got up and left.

He saw the behind-the-scenes helm of Minghu Culture, China Qi.

So he knows that this matter is still in the stage of conception and analysis, and only Li Qian and the Chinese Qi are the only people who have the ability to make a decision or influence it.

At this time, it is not only overkill, but also extremely stupid to express that you want to participate.

This is an amazing transaction that, once launched, will involve billions of dollars in massive funds, and will surely shock the United States and even the world!

Only Li Qian's closest and most willing partners are qualified to participate in it from the beginning, and he himself is not qualified.

When the information was obtained, John Days left on the front foot, and Li Qian and Qi Jie on the back foot had already asked the bodyguard to bring the documents weighing dozens of kilograms and drove them to the hotel in person. After receiving the call, Qi Jie flew from China on the same day. Come here, and she also brought a professional team of seven people.

There are even two of them, a team from a well-known domestic accounting firm that Minghu Culture has been using in recent years.

This matter, Li Qian's thought, is indeed scary enough.

Therefore, even if so many people came and collected so much information, what these people could make was only a preliminary analysis to provide some assistance and reference for Li Qian and Qi Jie's thinking.

Really want to buy? So good, at least you have to spend tens of millions or even tens of millions of dollars, and invite a large professional financial or accounting firm with successful experience in various acquisitions to plan, analyze and trade the entire acquisition. Negotiation - this is definitely not a business that can be done by Li Qian signing the check, slapping it in front of Coca-Cola, and saying "I bought it!"

It is even very likely that the US Presidential Office will have to nod for this deal to be completed.

After all, no matter how down and down Colombia is, it is still one of the seven major Hollywood studios. They still have extensive influence in the United States and around the world. Don’t think that only China controls culture and propaganda. Tight, so does the US. In the United States, you are an American, you can scold the president, even that is quite fashionable, but the US government will not easily allow its country's large mouthpiece in the cultural industry to fall into the control of foreigners!

Unless the US government thinks you are a staunch pro-American!

Therefore, to put it bluntly, the US government does not approve, and Li Qian cannot buy it no matter how much money he has in his hand.

Therefore, if it is too difficult in the end, it may be a transaction that requires the embassy in the United States or the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the country to intervene and lobby for Minghu Culture!

Of course, what Sony almost could have done in those days, and now Minghu Culture wants to do it, may not be blocked much at the policy and government level.

And the most important thing is that this idea can't be held back anymore.

As long as it is within the scope of his ability, as long as it is possible to buy it, Li Qian cannot refuse the temptation of owning a large Hollywood production company!

…………

John Days continued to keep in touch with several studios, especially Columbia Films. He followed Li Qian's instructions. Discuss the details of the cooperation between the two parties.

Qi Jie brought people to live in the hotel first, and then moved from the hotel to another villa bought by Liao Liao. The whole group ate and lodged together, and no one was allowed to leave without permission and talk to the outside world. , everyone concentrates on summarizing and analyzing the dozens of kilograms of documents on hand.

This job is obviously not something that can be done in a day or two.

But after three or two days, it was enough for these masters to draw a general outline of this matter——

"In this case, aside from all external resistance, if we want to win it, it is conservatively estimated that Coca-Cola may ask Colombia for 2.5 to 3 billion US dollars, and we must prepare funds of 3.2 to 3.5 billion US dollars. , and only cash can ensure the successful completion of the acquisition. But as long as sufficient reserves of funds can be ensured, this acquisition is very likely to be negotiated.”

This is the preliminary conclusion reached by a professional team of seven people.

With this conclusion, during the dinner that day, Li Qian, Qi Jie and Liao Liao started a discussion.

Because Li Qian asked Qi Jie, "How much money do I have now?"

Yes, this question sounds strange at first, but it's not at all strange at all. Li Qian really doesn't know how much money he has now, and there are many people in this world. It's better to know how much money you have than your own exclusive accountant and financial advisor.

As for Qi Jie, he can barely be regarded as Li Qian's big housekeeper, a financial advisor, and an exclusive accountant.

Qi Jie thought for a while and replied, "Your money has been siphoned off by Xiao Lu recently. I don't know how much working capital she has now, but the working capital under your name can be used now, if you join For those stocks and bonds that can be easily realized, give me a month, and I can raise about 700 to 800 million yuan for you, Huayuan! For Minghu Culture, put some necessary start-up capital, If the filming funds are deducted in advance, we can come up with this amount."

Speaking of which, she sighed, half complaining and half helpless, and said: "In recent years, you have burned too much money! It's a scientific research and a film and television city, obviously our annual profits are so high, but the amount of cash reserves I just can’t get up! However, if I spend these seven or eight billion, I can guarantee that the normal operation of the company will not be affected.”

Li Qian chewed the steak fiercely and nodded slowly.

Liao Liao raised his hand, "I have about 200 million yuan in my hand, which has been lying in my account and has not been moved. It is what I have saved over the years, of which about 150 million is Huayuan, and more than 100 million US dollars. Cash. If I need it, I have a lot of properties in China, and Lao Qi bought them for me. Even if I don't sell them, I should be able to get a mortgage loan, and I should be able to borrow 100 million and 200 million? Ha, Lao Qi?"

Qi Jie rolled her eyes and ignored her.

Liao Liao usually doesn't talk about this kind of topic, but she was a little positive today.

Li Qian thought for a while and asked, "If I take out a loan, how much can I borrow personally and Minghu's?"

Qi Jie thought for a while, and said, "Our company has always taken no loans. If we make certain loans for acquisitions, it will definitely be no problem to take money out. It is an industry practice, and a cultural industry company like ours has a debt ratio of 50%, they are still in a green and safe state. If this is the case, our company is now valued at 6 to 7 billion, and it is not a big problem to lend out 3 billion in cash. It will even be very easy.”

Having said that, she looked at Li Qian and said, "Of course, if you are willing to take out the shares of Xunfei Group for a loan, then this issue does not need to be discussed. Your shares in Xunfei Group are now worth more than 30 billion. And it continues to appreciate rapidly. Therefore, with the current momentum of iFLYTEK, as long as you want to take out a loan, take out 10 billion shares and talk about it carefully. It is not a big problem to lend out 5 or 6 billion. You know, Banks have always been cautious about mortgages of stocks, but Xunfei Group’s stocks are definitely an exception.”

Li Qian nodded slowly, but before he could speak, Qi Jie continued: "If you want to acquire Colombia, I support it, and if you want a loan, I agree in principle. But the question now is not to consider whether we can get together. The biggest problem in front of us is whether we can repay the loan in time!”

Speaking of which, she said: "Colombia is indeed a big piece of fat, but you can see it, and others can see it too. The greedy people are not one or two, a family or two, why don't others buy it? Because once they buy it, This is a huge burden! Last year and the year before last, Colombia lost 74 million and 69 million respectively! Every year, it lost 70 million! In 2000, it was a little less, and it lost more than 40 million!"

"So, before deciding on the acquisition, the most important thing you need to consider is one, and that is, once the acquisition is completed, how can you guarantee that you will be able to turn losses into profits! Ten or two billion dollars in debt, oh yes, I forgot to mention, the accountant told me that now is the time when Coca-Cola wants to sell Colombia the most, because in the next five years, Colombia will have nearly four hundred million dollars in succession When the loan expires, including Ben Galli, the total is more than 500 million close to 600 million US dollars!"

"Acquiring it means that this batch of debt has been transferred to us, and the debt we need to consider repaying in the next few years may be as high as more than two billion US dollars - from the current situation, if we do not do continuous If you expand, I will help you stabilize the current chassis, complete the established development plan, and invest what should be invested. In the next five years, I can guarantee that Minghu Culture will provide you with 500 million to 800 million yuan each year. Profitability is your ability to service your debt!”

"Of course, the premise is that the TV series and movies you have finalized can complete the profit target as scheduled. Otherwise, it is simply the record and performance market, as well as the dividends and special effects of our shareholding in Suntian Satellite TV, HUNAN Satellite TV and SHANDONG Satellite TV. The company's annual net profit is about 30 to 50 million yuan, and I can at most ensure that it can have a net profit of 200 million to 300 million yuan every year."

Li Qian nodded slowly again after hearing this.

Qi Jie's meaning, he heard very clearly, in short, it is affordable, no problem, the other party is likely to be willing to sell it, at best it is a question of more or less money, but the problem is that after buying it, if You can't turn a loss into a profit, and it continues to lose money, that's a tiankeng!

How can you ensure that Colombia can turn a profit after entering its own hands?

No one can guarantee this! Neither can Li Qian!

However, after listening to Qi Jie's analysis, Li Qian made up his mind: Columbia wants to buy it! And it is a must buy!

After buying it, the global layout was completed at once, and the last piece of the puzzle that Minghu Culture lacked to go global was completed in the fastest way!

So, while he was eating, he settled the accounts silently in his heart: the cash in his hand was seven or eight billion ~ www.wuxiaspot.com~ Minghu Culture was seven or eight billion, adding up to seven or eight billion US dollars, and a shortfall of two and a half billion US dollars.

Take a loan then!

According to Qi Jie's calculations, Minghu Culture can loan out 3 billion Chinese yuan without any problem, and then he will make another part of the loan, and finally take out 3.5 billion U.S. dollars to swallow Colombia!

If it's not enough... Well, you can ask Brother Cao and Brother Yu to inject capital. They may not have enough money to make up their minds, but at the level of 1,235,000,000,000, they don't need to alarm the family behind them. They have it themselves!

And... eh?

Yes!

While eating, Li Qian suddenly became stunned, and then when he recovered, he put down his knife and fork, looked at the time, and estimated that if the person across the ocean got up early, he should have almost woken up, and then He took out his phone, found a number and called it.
