Chapter 776: Success is in sight

In the United States, sometimes it can drag on for a year and a half, but sometimes it can be very efficient.

For example, in the financial industry, the emphasis is on timeliness, and sometimes not to mention a day, an hour can be turned upside down, so they especially like high efficiency.

Goldman Sachs and Yin Jun's purchase and sale negotiations, from the 10th to now, has been almost three weeks, except for the first ten days of Yin Jun negotiated with them, and then their opponent became Le Yiling.

Le Yiling gave full play to her woman's point, arrogant, stingy, cautious, and picking out details...... These personality traits come together to make Goldman Sachs' Clauti and Lee White both bigger.

Of course, it doesn't mean that they can't do anything with Le Yi Ling, but Le Yi Ling belongs to the kind of person who "has no desire and is strong", and she doesn't like the expensive and not very easy to take care of Disney Company, so no matter how much threats and soft words are begging, it is not of much use to her.

As long as you do more on the price, it is possible to promote good business.

When it comes to price, in the case of equal relationship, or even slightly higher, can Leyiling lose to them?

After several days of intense negotiations, everyone finally came up with a more suitable price.

Yin Jun entrusted Goldman Sachs to buy Lianyi Film Company and Disney Company in a package for $2.8 billion, and Kirin Group did not pay Goldman Sachs another remuneration.

On the date of signing the entrusted acquisition contract, Yin Jun paid the first deposit of US$1 billion.

The second tranche of $1 billion was paid after the transfer of ownership of the two companies to Yin Jun's name.

The last 800 million will be settled within half a year of the second payment.

At first glance, this price is not cheap, and it is only 200 million US dollars shorter than the gap negotiated between Yin Jun and Kolauti.

And there is not a penny left in the account of United Arts Film Company, and after Yin Jun buys it, he will immediately have to pay an operating fund of up to 170 million US dollars, otherwise United Arts Film Company will fall apart.

Even more exaggerated is Disney.

As a listed company, Disney's actual value including debt is $2.2 billion, and the market value of the stock market is around $1.5 billion, but their debt is as high as $1 billion, which is not included in the purchase price.

It means that from the day Yin Jun acquired Disney, he took over a debt of $1 billion, with an annual interest of up to $80 million!

In the past, Disney's financial situation was so bad, most of the reason was the high interest paid every year, and its own profits did not increase significantly.

But there is no way around it.

Let's not talk about Lianyi, if it weren't for the exhaustion, they wouldn't have sold their shares, so the price of about 400 million is quite appropriate.

Disney is different, people don't want to sell it at all, and Goldman Sachs insisted on asking Yin Jun to buy it.

In this way, the price will definitely not be low.

On the surface, it seems that Yin Jun was fooled and bought a large vase that was not worth buying at a high price, but in fact, only Le Yiling knew how eager Yin Jun was to win Disney in his heart.

Therefore, even though the price was a bit high, Leyiling finally agreed.

Accompanied by Le Yiling, Yin Jun went to Goldman Sachs Xiangjiang Branch, signed an entrusted acquisition contract with Li White, and deposited $1 billion into Goldman Sachs' account, and the business was on the right track.

Li White didn't dare to tell Yin Jun that although Lianyi Film Company had done it, on Disney's side, Goldman Sachs was only actively contacting, with some temptations, and he didn't have any shares in Disney at all.

But they are so bold that they will talk about it after collecting the money.

Anyway, as long as they are companies on the stock market, as long as they are not supergiants like IBM and General Electric, Goldman Sachs has the ability to take them down.

Goldman Sachs' profits are conservatively estimated to be $400 million, and such a huge profit makes Goldman Sachs very satisfied, and it will inevitably contribute to the completion of this transaction as soon as possible.

In fact, the reason why Goldman Sachs was able to think of selling the package project to Yin Jun is because of this era.

In 1980, the United States began to have a frenzy of mergers and acquisitions.

In the past ten years, more than 360,000 companies in the United States have been merged and acquired, thus forming one large group company after another.

The same is true of the entertainment media, which originally had hundreds of companies engaged in entertainment media in the United States.

But in 2020, you see, it's just the six major media groups in Hollywood.

In such an environment, it has become much more convenient to acquire listed companies with the approval of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

You know, before that, the SEC was notoriously strict and demanding, and few foreign companies could buy companies in the United States.

It is to take advantage of this opportunity that Colombia will be sold to SONY at a sky-high price, otherwise you will be a day.

Hehe, go see if it's dark, otherwise it's not good to dream!

The acquisition of Columbia and Yin Jun's current acquisition of United Arts Pictures are completely different things.

United Arts Film Company is said to be one of the seven major Hollywood companies, but it is the bottom one of the seven major Hollywood companies, and many times it is not as good as some independent second-tier film companies, but they are just big brands and old seniority.

Even their trump card "007" has lost its appeal over the years, which shows how lonely they are.

Columbia was a serious Hollywood giant, and it was still very strong at that time.

SONY spent a full 5 billion in cash and 1.6 billion in debt, plus a part of the intermediary fee, a total of 7 billion US dollars to win the Columbia company, which is almost more than twice the amount that Yin Jun now buys Disney.

You know, film companies, especially large companies, generally don't fluctuate too much.

In fact, Columbia is now worth about 6 billion — and of course, about 800 million in debt.

There are very few US companies that do not owe debts, including Apple, which will flourish in the future. It's not that it has no money to repay its debts at all, people have more than 200 billion US dollars in liquidity, it's just that Apple likes to borrow money to use it, what can you do with it?

is also because Lianyi Film Company encountered the pit of "Heaven's Gate", and was so cheated that it almost went out of business, otherwise Yin Jun would not even be able to catch up.

As for Disney?

Hehe!

This animation production company, which people in the film and television industry can take a fancy to it?

Goldman Sachs doesn't think much of them, thinking it's just a child's play.

Otherwise, they will not recommend it to Yin Jun, but to those who are richer.

Yin Jun doesn't know much about Goldman Sachs' mind, and he doesn't know much about capital operation.

But he knew that this contract had been signed, and with the status of Goldman Sachs, he would never be able to complete the entrusted thing.

This is a huge blow to them that is worse than losing money.

If this doesn't work out, then people will mention Goldman Sachs in the future and say, "Oh, Goldman Sachs, it's the investment bank that took money from the Kirin Group, but in the end couldn't complete the acquisition commission?

What does Goldman Sachs rely on to dominate the rivers and lakes?

Isn't it always that we have relied on 100% completion of commissions to bring customers the idea of "I can rest assured that I will leave it to Goldman Sachs"?

You said yes but couldn't do it, which is too big a fault in the financial industry.

Therefore, after signing the contract, Yin Jun began to take out a thick stack of scripts in a safe that had not been opened for a long time.

The first script at the beginning with three words on it

The Lion King.

That's right!

This is the super-classic that brought Disney's animation division back to life.

It was also from this animated film that Disney's animation became famous all over the world again, becoming the first in the industry.

This is also known as the last glory of 2D animation.

Yin Jun is going to use it as his first signature work after acquiring Disney.

Before he develops to become more powerful, Disney's path should be the same as in his previous life, slowly accumulating energy and finally soaring into the sky.

After Disney took over in the 80s, the most important thing to develop was two aspects, the first is their Disney TV channel, and the second is their merch store.

As it turned out, it was these two right steps that brought huge profits to Disney and gave Michael Eisner the strength to make more animated films and acquire more and better companies in the 90s.

Since it was the right path, Yin Jun had no intention of changing it.

But on top of that, the teenager decided to add all the pinnacles of Disney animated films in the 90s, and let it develop together in animation, television, parks and peripherals.

The first to make a name for himself is naturally this "The Lion King".

In the eyes of Chinese people, "The Lion King" is actually a typical routine: the prince's father was killed, he was forced to flee from the territory, and after a series of tribulations and united with his friends, he finally came back to take revenge and regain his throne.

However, this bridge is applied to the animation, coupled with the exquisite production and perfect music effects, at that time in 94, "The Lion King" caused a global sensation and became a classic in the hearts of countless people.

Even today, "The Lion King" is a small theater in every Disneyland theater, which makes a group of children scream and cheer every day.

And the success of "The Lion King" is not only in word-of-mouth, but also in the jaw-dropping box office.

If inflation is not counted, as of 2017, "The Lion King" is the third largest animated film box office in the world, behind "Frozen" and "Toy Story 3", with $987 million.

But if you calculate inflation, the box office of "The Lion King" is as high as 1.57 billion US dollars, far surpassing "Frozen" and is a well-deserved number one.

And that's just the box office for The Lion King.

With Disney's peripheral product development capabilities, in the next 20 years, the sales of peripheral derivatives of "The Lion King" have exceeded 2.7 billion US dollars, and they will continue to make money in the future!

Such a big global animation box office gold mine, it is only fitting that Disney is given as the first gift after the change of ownership!

As long as Disney's animation production department is stabilized, it will be a victory at this stage.

Not to mention Pixar's soul John Lasseter, their animation studio director, but the famous Jeffrey Katzenberg!

Speaking of Katzenberg, many people may not know enough about him.

But when it comes to another company he founded with two old friends after he left Disney in 1994, everyone will suddenly understand.

DreamWorks!

And the famous DreamWorks Animation was also built by him!

If it weren't for the tricks of the Hollywood giants at that time, DreamWorks might have really risen to become the seventh largest Hollywood giant.

DreamWorks failed in the end, but DreamWorks Animation has always been very strong!

Knowing that such a giant is here, do you think Yin Jun can let him leave?
