Ten days ago...
The chairman of AOL runs the company.
"Mr. Wald, welcome...Although this is the first time we have met, I am quite acquainted with your name."
Steve Case, chairman of AOL, got up to greet him personally after Zhuke arrived.
"I am also very happy to meet you, Mr. Case!" Zhuke shook hands with Case, his entire face filled with excitement and smiles.
Actress! ! !
There is no doubt that Zhuke and Case, in fact, are not as happy as their faces, and they are all acting.
What Zhuke was thinking about was to persuade Case;
Case was thinking...well, why are you looking for me?
After some business talks, Zhuke took the lead in making the topic clear.
"To be honest, I came to Mr. Case for help." Zhu Ke said solemnly.
"Oh?"
Case showed a slight smile.
Zhu Klang laughed and said: "My own Wald Pictures will have a new movie called "My Grand Greek Wedding" in the near future, but in the past few days, Warner's media, and even its parent company Time Warner They all participated, and they vilified our new film and caused a very bad influence. Therefore, I need to rely on your company's media power."
"Ha ha!"
Case shook his head and smiled: "Mr. Wald, you have to know that Time Warner is the world's largest media group and can cover the world. Why do you think that I will offend them and choose to help you? It's hard work. A thankless thing."
That's right, after hearing about Zhu Ke's request, the chairman of AOL immediately refused.
The two media giants rushed into battle, what good did he have?
No one is a fool!
"If... I said if, I can persuade Triford David and Francis Anke on your company's board of directors to support your acquisition of Time Warner Group on the board?"
Zhu Ke said lightly.
Boom! ! ! !
Acquiring Time Warner?
As soon as these words came out, Case, who was just as peaceful as Mount Tai, was suddenly shocked.
"You can do it?"
But Steve Case didn't doubt it.
As early as a few months ago, Case, as the chairman of AOL, put forward a plan on the board of directors.
——That is the full acquisition of Time Warner Group!
In this way, America Online, the world's largest emerging Internet media company, will merge with Time Warner, the largest media group in the traditional field, to become a giant media group.
The combination of the old and new media giants is bound to bring AOL to a new level!
Steve Case called this acquisition plan-a great plan!
however......
Case's proposal was opposed by a large number of shareholders.
Among them, Trevor David and Francis Anke are the most opposed!
Trevor David, male, 58 years old, was a farmer in New Mexico in his early days;
As early as 1982, at that time, AOL established its predecessor company, called Kinsey, which was a company dedicated to the research and development of video control technology. At that time, Cui Ford David became an investor and became an investor. The major shareholder of Kinsey at the small company level.
The following year, Steve Case acquired Kinsey.
On this basis, AOL was established, and Cui Ford David immediately became a shareholder of AOL.
The power of wealth quickly bursts.
He turned from a farmer to an Internet boss, and he was not unlucky, after all, all this was beyond his expectations;
Francis Anke, male, 59 years old.
In the early days, he was the first batch of employees of Apple, and later made a fortune in the financial market, and then resigned and left Apple to become a Wall Street investor;
In 1991, Francis Anco invested in Mexico's minerals. It was unsuccessful, and he caught up with the Mexican military coup and went bankrupt.
However, at this time, Francis Anke saw the potential of AOL, and immediately used his contacts on Wall Street to borrow a large sum of money from the bank to invest in AOL. After years of development, he is now a billionaire with a lot of money.
Trevor David was born as a farmer and had no brains. He acted according to one rule, reckless!
Francis Anke was born as a computer programmer and then devoted himself to Wall Street finance. He is a very cunning and shrewd guy.
The reason why the two oppose Steve Case's acquisition of Time Warner is because they fear that their interests will diminish.
"Can you really persuade them to support my plan?" Case asked incredulously.
"of course."
Zhuke spoke without hesitation: "In fact, I have persuaded them, and they gladly accept it."
"Go ahead, your terms."
No matter how Zhuke persuades David and Anke, Case is related to Zhuke's terms.
Zhuke spread his hands and smiled: "My condition is very simple. That is to support me on the "My Grand Greek Wedding" project and launch an attack on Warner. Moreover, you plan to acquire Time Warner. This is not exactly one time. Is there an opportunity for the other party to see your strength? This is a win-win!"
Win-win?
It is indeed a win-win!
Even though AOL can acquire Time Warner, is it OK to complete the acquisition?
of course not!
The internal struggle of big companies is extremely fierce, especially the merger of two giant companies!
"Yes. Before the acquisition was proposed, let Warner see our muscles, which is conducive to the later unity work. I agreed to this matter!" Case said heavily.
Suddenly, Zhu Ke also showed a smile.
As for how Zhu Ke persuaded the two shareholders, David and Anke?
Of course Zhuke paid a lot of money!
-Shares of LinkedIn!
But not now!
As an Internet company, LinkedIn is an inevitable development trend for listing, financing, and development.
Zhu Ke promised that David and Anke will have the priority to participate once LinkedIn opens a round of financing.
Although this priority right to participate does not represent anything and is not worth money, it is a ticket to participate in the LinkedIn company.
After all, if Zhu Ke expands shares and pulls allies, he will also seek big companies and big capital, but he really does not have the qualifications for the two of them to participate.
A promise, in exchange for AOL's media support, is also profitable no matter how you think.
"Furthermore, when the Internet bubble burst, AOL's market value plummeted. At that time, David and Anke wanted to participate in LinkedIn's investment in time. It is estimated that they have no money. My **** is really smart." Zhu Ke Can't help thinking.
......
........
Time goes back to February 22.
On this day, after Zhuke arranged the overseas release of "My Grand Greek Wedding", he received a notice from Kevin Fitch~www.wuxiaspot.com~The preparatory work for Spider-Man was successfully completed;
The selection of the main actors and actresses has also been successfully completed;
"Boss, the funds are in place, the actors are in place, and the crew is in place, and now "Spiderman" can officially start shooting." Kevin Fitch's tone was excited.
Throughout the company, who didn't know that Kevin Fitch was a loyal fan of comics. The reason why he joined Wald Pictures at the beginning was largely because of the superhero copyrights in Zhuke's hands.
Zhuke nodded immediately and said: "Well, you and director Sam Remy come to me immediately, I want to see the detailed shooting plan."
"Yes, boss!"
