Chapter 762: The agency is too smart

New York, USA.

As the essence of Manhattan Island, that narrow street is the financial center of the United States and the financial center of the world.

Although Londoners are constantly trying to regain the first place, it is a pity that the sun never sets has become a thing of the past, and there will never be a glory again.

Goldman Sachs' headquarters is on this street.

As an investment bank with a short history in the United States, Goldman Sachs has been able to catch up and now has begun to play an increasingly important role, which is inseparable from their use of the traditional partnership system.

Don't think that Goldman Sachs is a devouring monster working together, in fact, the internal struggle within them is also very, very cruel, and countless partners who were once famous will end up miserable.

This is the cruelest survival of the fittest.

But it is precisely because of such a cruel competition system that Goldman Sachs can develop step by step and always maintain its vitality.

In the future, the five major investment banks on Wall Street will only be left with Morgan Stanley, and this is not without reason.

Sitting in his office, President Busaron was listening to a young man across from him.

"Lianyi can't hold it anymore. They are very hard, all kinds of expenses are very large, and after being severely pressed by our bank loans, they can't even pay their salaries for the next quarter. The young man said, "Now the big boss behind the scenes, Pan Am, has approached us and wants to entrust us to put a plate to see if anyone is willing to take it." ”

"Didn't you just declare bankruptcy?" said Busaron, mused.

"There are many processes to go through in bankruptcy and it is not the most beneficial for us. The young man said, "I think that Xiangjiang tycoon cares about getting a big film company more completely, and he doesn't want it to drag on for so long." ”

"You're talking about, Claudi. Busaron nodded, the young senior partner was worthy of the elite of the elite, analyzing things so ruthlessly and accurately, "How much are you going to sell them for?"

"About 400 million, don't pay us. Pan American Insurance is not yet in complete despair, and it can't be depressed much. "After working for half a year, at least $50 million should be paid to be barely appropriate." ”

Claudi, that's a bit of a brag.

He has been working on this for half a year from the beginning to the present, but definitely not all of his energy is focused on it.

The one who is really in charge is one of Kolauti's teams, who only gives some guiding advice at critical times, and does not keep an eye on it all the time.

"Our client's assets have increased recently!" Busaron said slowly, "Transformers are selling so well in 50 countries and regions around the world, and their sales have exceeded $350 million in one month, which has raised everyone's wealth estimates to a new level!"

"So what?" said Colaudi, looking at Busaron a little strangely, "can we still sell him for a higher price?" If it's $500 million, I'm afraid he'll scare away on the spot and won't do business with us at all...... You know, he's been working with Lehman Brothers lately!"

"That's not what I mean. Busaron smiled, "Colaudi, do you think the pattern of the joint arts is a little too small?"

"Huh?" Colaudi frowned, "what do you mean?"

"We at Goldman Sachs are very good at selling companies in a package, and now a single Lianyi company has left a lot of messes, and it will cost at least hundreds of millions of dollars to keep it running, which is not attractive enough for our friends in Xiangjiang?" Busaron took out a stack of materials from the drawer next to him, "What do you think of adding this company?"

Colanti took it and looked at it, her eyes lit up, and then she sank again, "It's not much better than Lianyi, right? If it weren't for those old foundations, it would have collapsed a long time ago!"

"Not necessarily. "Disney is the childhood dream of all of us, even if it's decaying now, but it's one of Hollywood's best animation companies." Isn't our friend of Xiangjiang the world's best-selling comic weekly? Comics and animation are both family, and if he can have such a base in the United States, it will definitely be a good thing!

When the time comes, United Arts will make ordinary movies, Disney will make cartoons, and he will be able to gain a firm foothold in the center of the world. ”

"What if he doesn't want it?" said Claudi, "Disney, I know, because there are a few Disney parks, it has a market capitalization of about $1.5 billion. And all of Yin Jun's assets together are only about $1 billion!"

"He doesn't want it, won't you give him a beautiful picture and then induce him to buy it?" Busaron smiled, "As for him not having any money, it's easier! Goldman Sachs will take care of everything for him, as long as he uses his Kirin Group as collateral." He can pay it back, and Goldman Sachs can make a lot of fees. He failed in his business and couldn't pay back the money, so when we deal with the Kirin Group, can't we also make a lot of money?"

It has to be said that Claudi thinks of himself as a smart man and a ruthless person, but now he feels that he is simply too pure compared to the president.

Unexpectedly, he took two garbage companies that were about to go bankrupt, and when they were put together, he wanted to sell them to Yin Jun, not to mention, and he was already pretending that Yin Jun's business failed, and finally Goldman Sachs plundered Yin Jun's high-quality assets of the Kirin Group.

It is said that it is a buyer who eats a seller and this sentence is not very vivid, but while doing business for customers, digging pits for customers is a very appropriate description.

"Go for it, Claudi, a mere United Arts Film Company, it's just too unchallenging for you. Busaron said: "Package and sell Disney to our friends in Xiangjiang! Goldman Sachs needs such a big business, and we also need to have a friend in the Far East...... Or a quality asset!"

"Disney's side, have you negotiated?" asked Claudi, but he was a little jealous in his heart, this old man was really silent.

"No, but they are in a bad situation, and the major shareholders are said to be looking for investors. "Instead of letting them get the investment, let them cash out and let Disney's power go back to one person." Chinese people have always disliked sharing, they like to firmly control power in their own hands, haha, this is actually very good for us!"

It is also convenient for Yin Junli to be invincible, and we can better control Disney.

Claudi added this to the president.

"Okay, I'm going to get in touch and see the attitude of Disney's major shareholders. By the way, I will also test whether Yin Jun has a strong desire to acquire. Claudi nodded.

He didn't mention that Disney is a publicly traded company.

It is difficult for Goldman Sachs to get a full stake in a public company.

But what do you want him to do if it's not difficult?

How can a business that is not difficult reflect the value of a senior partner?

……

When Li White invited Yin Jun to his office, Yin Jun looked at his smiling face, and his heart was already steady.

Sure enough, Li White poured Yin Jun a cup of coffee, sat down and said with a smile, "I think you're already in a hurry, Mr. Yin, right? ”

Yin Jun is not the kind of character who entrusts things to others and doesn't care about them.

What's more, actively understanding the progress of the acquisition would have helped him better adjust his plan in order to deal with unexpected situations.

For example, on the acquisition of "Hollywood Movies", Yin Jun would call Li White every month to ask about the progress, and sometimes after the progress was made, Li White would report by himself.

From the beginning of the "medium-sized film company" to the current United Arts Film Company, one of the seven major Hollywood companies, the two sides have had a lot of discussions and disputes, and in the end, Yin Juncai "reluctantly" agreed to acquire such a much larger film company.

"Mr. Yin, now we have almost discussed it over there. "More than two-thirds of their shareholders have collectively agreed to sell their shares to you for a total valuation of $350 million." We at Goldman Sachs helped estimate that at about this price, you can receive about 80% of the shares.

The remaining shares, because of the provisions of the company's equity law, only need a certain increase to acquire the shares of these minority shareholders. All in all, you need to spend about $400 million for an overall price to pocket one of Hollywood's seven major studios, the historic United Arts Film Company, founded by Mr. Chaplin!"

After a pause, he emphasized: "Of course, our remuneration is $50 million, which is very reasonable. We will not only help with all the acquisition procedures, but also the procedures for changing the company's equity in the United States. ”

"Then let's start the acquisition!" Yin Jun nodded very happily, "Today, the contract will be drawn up first, and after it is signed, I will first transfer 100 million US dollars into your account, and the rest will be paid off within a month." ”

Li White was stunned when he heard this.

He rarely saw such a straightforward person, and he didn't talk about the price or anything, and directly agreed.

A big business involving about 450 million US dollars, how easily it succeeded?

Is he too rich, or is he too eager to get United Arts Films?

Could it be that Yin Jun is so confident in his film talent that he can't wait to buy it and march towards Hollywood!?

For a while, Lee White had a feeling that it was not very real.

But after all, he was an elite from Goldman Sachs, and he expelled this emotion in an instant, and a smile appeared on his face: "Thank you, Mr. Yin, we have a happy cooperation...... But I wonder if you have a deeper desire for Hollywood?"

Yin Jun was surprised, "What do you mean?"

"I mean, are you content with just buying one United Arts Film Company, or do you have broader ambitions to carve out a bigger world in the center of the world?" said Lee White generously, "If you want to achieve such success, then Gao Shen will continue to serve you and provide you with better support." ”

Yin Jun was a little confused when he heard this.

"Just" the acquisition of Lianyi?

Could there be a better studio acquisition?

MGM Columbia, Paramount?

Thinking of this, Yin Jun also felt a trace of excitement, and he expressed it unabashedly: "Mr. Li, if you have anything to say, you can say it! Which film company is going to sell again?"

Seeing Yin Jun's excitement, Li White smiled in his heart and said slowly: "In terms of the film industry, with Lianyi Film Company, it is actually enough. What I am introducing to you, Mr. Yin, is another aspect of expanding your entertainment empire...... You know the Disney Company, right?"

Disney!?

Yin Jun's heart pounded.

But this time he didn't show it at all, but said in surprise: "The company that makes cartoons and opens theme parks?"

"Yes. "It has two theme parks at the same time, and it's the most popular amusement park in the world." In addition, Japan, Asia, is also actively building Disneyland, and I believe that after the opening, it will bring rich profits to the company. ”

"Disneyland's popularity, I know. Yin Jun nodded, but then changed his words, "But I also know that this company, which started with cartoons, has now completely declined." Throughout the 70s, they produced only four cartoons and became the laughing stock of animation production companies around the world.

Today, their artists and animators are very old, and their production is seriously ineffective and they are losing serious money. Disneyland is the one that can make money now, but it has a large return cycle and relatively low profit margins, which is the main reason why they will agree to open Disneyland on the day of authorization!"

Lee White gasped.

With an embarrassed look on his face, he never expected that Yin Jun would be so familiar with Disney.

But after thinking about it, Yin Jun himself is making animation of comics, and he will definitely understand this industry, Disney Animation is a company that must be known, even if it is lonely now.

In fact, Disney is now at a very low point, otherwise Goldman Sachs would not have made up its mind about them.

But thinking about it on the other hand, since Yin Jun also knew that Disney was in a recession, it would be really difficult to persuade him to buy it together!
