Chapter 1017 Empire Group swallows up Marvel Comics for US$8.5 billion
Chapter 1017 The Empire Group swallows up Marvel Comics for US$850 million!
22:30 pm New York time.
It's very windy outside.
Yang Ming is still in the study.
There was a knock on the door. Yang Ming went to open the door and found that it was Yuan Tianfan.
"Boss, I'm back."
"Tianfan, be sure to pay attention to safety outside."
Even though Country M is the most powerful country in the world, its crime rate is not low, especially at night, when many white people dare not go out.
These days, Yuan Tianfan goes out early and comes back late, and Yang Ming is really worried about his safety.
Of course, Yuan Tianfan studied abroad in Chicago and was indeed very clear about the security of Country M.
"Boss, don't worry."
Yuan Tianfan stood next to Yang Ming and reported to him about the acquisition talks with the Martin Goodman family in the afternoon.
Because Stan Lee has agreed to the acquisition of Marvel Comics by Empire Group, it means that the management of Marvel Comics no longer has any problems.
With Stan Lee's help, it will be easier to acquire Marvel Comics.
Now the Martin Goodman family may have further discussions on the purchase price.
"Boss, your offer is US$800 million, and the Goodman family hopes to sell it all for US$1 billion. However, according to our current preliminary assessment, it is only about US$600 million at most. The price the Goodman family wants is still too high."
$1 billion?
Compared with the Australian tycoon Rupert Murdoch's acquisition of 20th Century Fox Film Company, the Goodman family's asking price is indeed much higher.
"Let's talk. Our highest bid is US$800 million."
Yuan Tianfan wrote it down.
"We also went to Wall Street today."
Yuan Tianfan has been to Wall Street many times, and Yuan Tianfan doesn't think anything about it anymore.
"I am going to set up several hedging investment companies in country M."
A hedge investment company?
Yuan Tianfan is a top student with a background in economics, so he naturally knows about hedging investment companies.
"Also, have you heard of Quantum Fund?"
"Boss, I think I've heard of it, but I'm not very familiar with it."
Quantum Fund evolved from Double Eagle Fund.
Double Eagle Fund was founded in 1969 with a capital of US$4 million; in 1979, the company was renamed Quantum Corporation.
The fund is established in New York, and its investors are all foreign investors who are not nationals of Country M, thereby avoiding the supervision of the Securities and Exchange Commission of Country M.
Quantum Fund invests in commodities, foreign exchange, stocks and bonds, and uses a large number of financial derivatives and leveraged financing to engage in a full range of international financial operations.
However, Yang Ming knows that the current Quantum Fund Company and even Soros are not well-known.
Later, the several sniper battles between Soros and Quantum Fund that shocked the world were actually supported by Country M.
"The founders of Quantum Fund are Soros and Rogers, but what you need to pay attention to is Soros. In the future, Soros must have someone supervise him."
. . .
Next half month.
Yang Ming has been staying in the wealthy area of Huntington, Long Island, New York.
period.
Yuan Tianfan and the New York branch of Future Capital sent people to discuss the acquisition of Marvel Comics with the Martin Goodman family.
Yuan Tianfan has asked Future Capital to establish hedging companies in New York, Chicago, San Francisco and other places.
Of course, these hedging companies have not played any role now, but they will not be the same in the future.
June 9, 1985.
Sunday.
morning.
The highest daytime temperature in New York has reached 25 degrees Celsius.
After Yang Ming and Park Jinhui had breakfast, they took a walk in the private estate.
Last night, Yuan Tianfan had already come back to inform him.
Martin Goodman's family and other shareholders of Marvel Comics have agreed to sell it to Empire Group for a purchase price of US$850 million.
In other words, the Imperial Group spent more than 800 million US dollars to buy all the copyrights of Marvel Comics.
Although the highest third-party appraisal is about US$700 million, the Goodman family is unwilling to sell.
As for the Goodman family's bid of $1 billion, this is also impossible.
The two parties negotiated for more than half a month, and finally agreed to acquire the company at a price of US$850 million.
This means.
This time Yang Ming's mission to come to New York has been completed.
It can be said that the most important thing for coming to New York this time is to swallow up Marvel Comics.
As for setting up a hedging company, that is secondary.
"Boss, are we leaving New York?"
"Not bad, next stop, get ready to go to Los Angeles."
noon.
Yang Ming and others finished lunch at the private manor.
Pack your things in the afternoon.
Yang Ming and his party, as well as Lin Dezhong and others, also took a car to leave New York and took his private plane to Los Angeles International Airport.
That afternoon.
Yang Ming and others left Long Island by car and arrived at New York's international airport.
Get on his private jet.
The direct flight from New York to Los Angeles is about six hours.
. . .
20:15 pm.
Yang Ming's private plane landed safely in Los Angeles.
When Yang Ming and others came out of Los Angeles International Airport, someone had already come to greet them.
In Los Angeles, there is even one of the most expensive mansions in Beverly Hills.
Yuan Tianfan has also bought a Beverly Hills villa for Yang Ming in advance.
It cost nearly US$6 million, which was twice the price of a private estate in a wealthy area of Long Island, New York.
Why is Beverly Hills so expensive here?
Precisely because Hollywood is so close to Los Angeles and Beverly Hills.
For Hollywood stars, their money-making speed is no lower than that of financial families in New York. They even make money faster, so that the villas in Beverly Hills are more expensive than other places.
In addition, superstars from all over the world have purchased properties here, including music stars, NBA basketball stars, famous artists from the Chinese world, and plutocrats from all over the world.
Superstars and wealthy people gather in Beverly Hills to show off their wealth and status, and expand their popularity. As a result, more wealth continuously rolls into their wallets, forming a spiraling wealth spiral that takes away the owners here. They are getting higher and higher, and the radiant light is more dazzling.
In the future, Beverly Hills villas will be even more expensive, costing hundreds of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars per unit.
Yang Ming and others left Los Angeles International Airport by car. After about half an hour, they arrived at a Beverly Hills villa located in the middle of the mountain.
It was night now.
However, there are many lights here, far more than those on Long Island.
it's here.
Looking out now, you can even see the sea in the distance.
When Lin Dezhong went to take over the villa, Yang Ming returned to his master room first.
On the private plane, Yang Ming and others had already had dinner.
Now that I'm here, let's take a hot bath and rest.
"Master, the villa in Beverly Hills is really big." Azhu was just inside, walking around, and she found that it was much bigger than the private estate on Long Island.
