American Fortune Life

"At the moment, it seems that 2.5 billion is a price acceptable to both parties. The most important thing is that the negotiating team is trying to facilitate this acquisition. There are no competitors, and Marvel's price is not asking too much. This is undoubtedly the case. Facilitated the negotiation process."

Al was also very surprised that the negotiation with Marvel was so smooth. There was no dispute between the two parties on the negotiation table, and more focus has always been around the final price.

Andy naturally understands why. Undoubtedly, Ike is the CEO and shareholder. Even if he is acquired, his CEO position will still be preserved, but his own wealth will be able to get out of this quagmire. The most important soul figure, Stan Li also chose to remain silent, which undoubtedly cleared away all obstacles to the acquisition.

"Marvel CEO Ike Perlmutter invited us to send a financial team to Marvel Entertainment Group at the end of yesterday's negotiations to conduct a pre-acquisition financial verification. I have already agreed and will send someone over this afternoon to wait for the accountant After the personnel checked the accounts, we have almost completed the negotiation, and then you just need to sign, the boss, and Marvel Entertainment will belong to you personally from now on."

Listening to Al's report, Andy couldn't help feeling a little excited. Thinking about those superhero movies in his previous life, every summer they would sweep the box office all over the world, making him a big player in Disney's industry, easily earning billions in box office every year. Earnings are top notch.

Now everything has changed, he himself is about to complete the construction of an entertainment empire, of course, there may be another possibility, deep in his heart he can't help but have a reverie, but soon he smiled lightly and shook his head.

"what is this?"

Andy curiously took the stack of documents that Al handed over, put the cigar in his hand on the crystal petal-shaped ashtray holder, looked at Al and asked.

"Several selected model agencies still have some excellent assets. Our think tank advises the boss to take advantage of this crisis and try to acquire some excellent assets that have been affected, undervalued or even accidentally injured. After all, a large amount of cash is placed there. , will generate a large tax revenue, I think, boss, you will not want to cheap the government."

Andy pursed his lips as if of course, he likes Ivana with vivid expressions, and he also likes to express his mood with expressions unconsciously.

What is husband and wife. Two people have lived together for a long time, and their facial expressions and actions imitate each other, and they will become more and more alike.

"Holiday farms, mountain forest farms, commercial buildings, tsk tsk, all land resources, well, and teams, the idea of ​​​​your think tank is to let me build a sports operation company? Football, baseball, basketball, I understand all these What the hell is playing football in the United States? Why not take this opportunity to buy football teams in Spain and the UK, I love the subprime mortgage crisis!"

While flipping through the documents, Andy

While looking up at Al, with a happy smile on his face, his big white teeth are very shiny.

"Currently, the areas we choose for sports are only Texas and New York. After all, your grandfather and Mr. Oston Smith are based on local voting areas, which will greatly help the Smith family's favor among local voters. "Al said the conclusion of the think tank.

"There is only one basketball team in Texas, the Rockets, and the current owner is Alexander. Do you think he will sell this money-cow-like team with an Asian giant that makes him a lot of money?" Andy frowned slightly, expressing doubts.

"We have analyzed Alexander, the Los Angeles Clippers, and all the specific situations of the Golden State Warriors. Perhaps the most affected by this financial crisis is this Alexander. His investment projects seem to be very safe and reasonable, but under the storm, It’s almost impossible to get out, and he’s not a generous owner when it comes to the Rockets’ operations, and I think if someone bridges him during his toughest time, it’s likely to succeed.”

Andy naturally hopes to have an influential team in Texas, the traditional sphere of influence of the Smith family, but he doesn't know if Alexander is willing to sell. After all, Dayao is still in his prime. The market is just too rich.

"So what about the Golden State Warriors?" Andy's future business map is still dominated by California, San Francisco, Silicon Valley, and perhaps the Warriors and Clippers are also good choices.

"The Golden State Warriors created a black-eight miracle in this year's playoffs, but they still can't get rid of the shadow of poor management. The team that Chris Cohan bought for $119 million in 1995, I think 3 The price of around 100 million should make him tempted.

Statistics show that the income of the Cohan family’s cable TV industry has fallen sharply, and Sonic Communications owned by Cohan has suffered huge debts. After this storm, I think it will be even more difficult. The rise, chaotic management and a series of misguided planning have pushed the team to the edge of the cliff. Facing the shouts of "Kohan get out" in Oracle Stadium, perhaps leaving the team he has been in charge of for 12 years has become impossible. avoidable ending. "

Andy expressed his satisfaction with the meticulous work of the think tank. After pondering for a while, he said: "Let's focus on the local teams in Texas first. The market value of the New York Knicks is inflated, and the Lan family is not Lack of money, they will not give up this nameplate in their hands. The Warriors are the backup, as for the Clippers, hehe, let’s talk.”

Nima, in Los Angeles with Kobe, there is no such thing as the Clippers.

As a technical nerd in my previous life, sports is naturally the dregs of the five dregs of the war. With the popularity of Dayao's NBA, I will naturally watch it. After all, this is for talking, and I can't show my backwardness when chatting with colleagues. , Well, Kobe is the one I see the most. After all, Kobe is the one who perfectly shows the charm of basketball, let alone being too unique.

Andy likes to watch the black mamba, the ball is passed to Kobe, Kobe lays up, Kobe shoots, Kobe hits the iron, Kobe breaks through, Kobe dunks, what's going on!

"American football has nothing to do. During the World Cup last year, everyone was telling a joke. When the game was equalized, the Americans watching the game in the bar were all angry and questioned the rules of the game loudly. Isn't the game just for winning or losing? A draw What's going on!? The draw will continue to play...!"

Andy said, he didn't even hold back his laughter, he laughed haha, because Alvetrie looked at him with a look like that.

It wasn't until he saw that Alvetrie was a little uncomfortable being laughed at by him, Andy slowly shook his head and stopped laughing, and spread his hands while smiling and said: "Look, the United States is a football desert. The ultimate place to retire, isn’t the Los Angeles Galaxy currently operating David Beckham to play football in the United States? Maybe his arrival can bring a little interest in football to the Americans, does New York have a football team?”

"Well, yes, in those materials, the New York Red Bulls, a football team acquired by Red Bull last year, but the results are very poor. Since you, the boss, are not interested in getting the American football team, then football and baseball need to be seriously considered. The Dallas Cowboys in Texas are known as the "Team of America" ​​and have the support of many fans. The current market value is around 800 million US dollars. The cost of acquisition is too high, and the team owner will not sell it.

The New York Giants are a good acquisition target. The most important thing is that the price is right. The acquisition can be completed at a maximum of about 400 million US dollars. One point is that there are only two shareholders in this team. The Giants are owned by the Mara family for most of the time. In 1991, Preston Robert Tisch bought 50% of the shares. Last year, the team's chairman and president Wellington Mara passed away, and the team began to scramble for power. If the owner decides to want it, there are many opportunities to operate. "

"Well, it works. After all, football is the number one sport. We want the world champion to come back!" Andy raised his eyebrows as he spoke. Anyway, the Americans' Super Bowl is the world champion. It's also the same for us to play our own. Hilarious enough.

"Baseball, hey, why is there no information about the Yankees?" Andy rummaged twice, raised his head and looked at Al suspiciously.

The veins on Alvetrie's forehead twitched, the corners of his mouth twitched unnaturally, and he said with a wry smile: "Boss, the market value of the New York Yankees is 3.4 billion dollars..."

Andy smiled embarrassedly. He was a die-hard Yankee fan before, so it seems that his money is still a bit low.
