Chapter 388: The road to mergers and acquisitions begins
The agreement for the science and technology park has been signed, and Zhu Ke arranged for the think tank to formulate a series of follow-up construction plans.
In the future, the science and technology park will be dominated by LinkedIn companies, recruiting companies in information engineering, Internet hardware construction, emerging mobile phones, chips, bridge laying, streaming media websites, etc., to absorb the nutrition of these companies, so that Zhu Ke can be in the Internet field. Increasingly strong.
"Science and Technology Park, it focuses on the future!"
In the Internet and high-tech fields, Zhu Ke has invested heavily. However, in the field of film and television entertainment, Zhu Ke has never taken lightly.
Golden Dawn Entertainment Group is a new but powerful media and entertainment group. Even if it looks at the United States and the world, the name of the Golden Dawn Entertainment Group has become more and more prominent.
But!
If you compare the Golden Dawn Entertainment Group with the Big Six in Hollywood, then the overall strength of the Golden Dawn Entertainment Group is indeed quite different.
TV, movies, radio, newspapers, music...
In all of the above fields, Golden Dawn Entertainment Group has outstanding achievements. It can bring Zhu Ke a large amount of returns every year. The profit is enough to make many people jealous, but... these achievements are great. To the extent that it is Zhuke's interception of the future as a backing.
If Zhu Ke does not open the listing, then the annual profit of the Golden Dawn Entertainment Group will be reduced by at least half, or even more.
"The foundation is unstable!"
"Moreover, the gap in size also restricts the development speed of Golden Dawn Entertainment Group."
Zuke often goes to great lengths with this.
Is there a quick and effective solution?
Of course there is!
"Acquisition of one of Hollywood’s top six will definitely have an immediate effect." 噺⒏⑴The full text of the article is the fastest んττρs:/м.χ八㈠zщ.còм/
"All problems will be solved!"
However, where is it easy to acquire one of Hollywood’s top six?
It's hard to do!
Disney, Warner, Paramount, Columbus, 20th Century Fox, these five giants, the parent company energy behind them is all extraordinary, even for today's Zhuke, it is more than enough.
Redstone's Viacom Group, in addition to owning Paramount Pictures, he also owns the largest offline rental and distribution presence of DVDs and video tapes in the United States, covering tens of thousands of Blockbuster stores across the United States. It must There are film and television companies as support.
Blockbuster’s market value of tens of billions of dollars is based on Paramount being one of Hollywood’s top six, which can provide Redstone with huge cash flow every year. A genius remembers 噺バ一Chinese m.x/8/1/z/w.c/o/m/
You said, how did Redstone give up Paramount?
Murdoch, Sony, Time Warner, etc. exist, how can they give up their subordinate film and television entertainment industry?
is not easy to mess with!
"Therefore, for now, the only one that can be acquired among the Big Six is the Global Group."
But even for the Global Group, which has shown signs of fatigue in recent years, it is not easy to acquire it.
Universal Group, under the jurisdiction of Universal Pictures, Universal Studios, Universal Music, Universal Home Entertainment...
The number of subsidiaries is amazing.
At the same time, Universal Group has a close relationship with the NBC television station, one of the four major public television networks in the United States. The two parties have cross-shareholdings, and they almost wear a pair of pants. The merger and acquisition of the two parties is a natural matter.
Therefore, it is absolutely difficult for Zhu Ke to acquire Universal Group.
"Hey"
Zhu Ke sighed and said: "The timing is still wrong! It is Universal Records under the Universal Group alone. It is one of the five largest record companies in the world. It is also known to the world as EMI, Polygram, Warner Records, and the Rolling Stones. Its value can be no less than $6 billion."
"If I say ten thousand dollars and ten thousand dollars, I still don't have enough money. Otherwise, there is a question of whether the timing is right or not, just push it horizontally!"
So, Zhu Ke gave up his thoughts on acquiring the six major Hollywood players for the time being.
"I can't acquire the six major Hollywood companies, but that doesn't mean I can't acquire other film and television companies!"
DreamWorks Entertainment Group, there is no sales idea for the time being;
Xin Xian Pictures, behind which is Time Warner Group;
Searchlight entertainment, behind which is 20th Century Fox;
Artisan Entertainment, behind it is MGM Pictures;
Miramax Pictures, behind which is the Disney Group;
...
One of the few top second-tier Hollywood companies, behind them are all six Hollywood giants, either absolute holding or the largest shareholder.
There are only a few second-tier companies that have not been incorporated by the six major Hollywood companies, such as Lionsgate Pictures and Summit Entertainment, all of which are ambitious and absolutely unwilling to be resigned to others.
Lionsgate Pictures, in the future, is known as Hollywood’s largest independent studio, and is second only to the six largest existences in Hollywood. Even now, Lionsgate’s owner Gusta is definitely aspiring. No one else, he will not sell the company.
Summit Entertainment is not bad in the future.
Bomb Disposal Unit, Twilight City, Dancing My Life, Now You See Me, Divergent, Red Flame Battlefield, Source Code, God War: Eye of Power...
These familiar movies are produced by Summit Entertainment.
Even in 2000, he was still a younger brother. However, with many talents and ambitious management, they are bound to have a place in Hollywood in the future.
"Maybe Summit Entertainment can be acquired!"
"Because it is running out of money!"
The Big Three of Summit Entertainment, Patrick Wattsberg, Bob Hayward and David Garrett, had invested heavily before the Internet bubble, and they also pledged company shares and borrowed a lot of money from the bank.
The stock market disaster broke out and was completely destroyed in one day.
Except for David Garrett’s timely sell-off, the other two suffered heavy losses in this stock market crash.
"You have no money, but I have money"
There is no doubt that Zhuke is eyeing Summit Entertainment, which is in financial trouble.
"In addition to Summit Entertainment, Hollywood's third- and fourth-tier film and television companies are not few in number. Combined, the number is definitely not less than 500 companies. Among them, there are many potential companies that can be acquired."
So ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ In order to expand the size of the Golden Dawn Entertainment Group, Zhu Ke brazenly opened the road to mergers and acquisitions.
Mergers and acquisitions in the form of cash shares?
No!
Zuke is not short of money now!
If you want shares of Golden Dawn Entertainment Group, Zhu Ke will never give them, just use cash!
10 million disagree, then 15 million!
In one sentence, use money to stun you!
It's not surprising...
In just ten days, Zhu Ke acquired two third-tier film companies and five fourth-tier film companies, recruited more than 500 new employees, and spent a total of 140 million US dollars.
At this moment, the most exciting people are Bill McNick and Kevin Fitch.
Old Bill: "As long as the integration can be completed as soon as possible, then the overall production capacity of our World Films will definitely be raised."
Kevin Fitch: "We are often stuck in the ability to produce only two or three movies at the same time, and we cannot produce more movies at the same time. Now the problem is solved."
The acquisition of these film companies greatly enhanced Zhu Ke's strength.
But... it will take some time to complete the integration.
Just when Zhu Ke was pleased, bad news came from Summit Entertainment, and they rejected Zhu Ke's acquisition.
Of course, Zhuke is not in a hurry.
However, other small and medium film companies in Hollywood were scared!
The first update is sent.
