Chapter 1221: Everybody's Friends. You're welcome.

“The value of NBC Worldwide could be between $20 billion and $23 billion, including $5.1 billion in debt. To successfully acquire NBC Worldwide, the acquisition price may have to exceed its value by 30 to 40 per cent, which means that the value of NBC Worldwide may exceed $30 billion. ”

Speaking of mergers and acquisitions, the face of the crowd in the conference room became more serious, and Andy was silent for a moment and asked, "What about Viwandi's attitude? Their 20 percent stake is also critical. ”

“Vivandi acquired NBC shares in 2004 at the cost of selling its media assets, such as Universal Film Industry, to General Electric. Between November and December almost every year, Viwandi informs General Electric that it intends to sell its shares in NBC Worldwide on the market. This right of Viwandi will continue into 2016. ”

Analyst Aspersi continues to say to his big BOSS, “I think Viwandi may not want to sell this part of the asset right now, but rather want to put pressure on it to reverse General Electric's business performance in a matter of months and then sell it at a higher price. ”

“Looks like the only way to break through is with Jeff Imert!” Andy frowned and tapped his fingers gently on the conference desktop, glancing at Alvitelli and asking, “What about our merger chips? ”

“AMC TV is currently valued at around 4.7 billion, with a premium of 30-40 per cent for M&A chips and a conservative estimate of around $6 billion.

The total value of peak entertainment is around $700 million, and with Weinstein currently valuing up to $200 million, of which $50 million is still owed, after all, the most valuable repository has been divided.

The HULU video market is valued at around $800 million, but its potential is huge. Since its inception, Hulu has had exclusive access to content from three of the four leading television network companies in the United States. With a total revenue of nearly $200 million, Hulu now has approximately 2 million subscribers who pay to watch online content.

US satellite TV operators DISH, Amazon, Google and Yahoo have all expressed interest in acquiring Hulu, and the aforementioned companies have submitted acquisition price ranges ranging from $1 billion to $1.5 billion. Among them, Google offers higher acquisitions. ”

Al reported the valuations of the three companies, making everyone, including Andy, look slight. The key is that the growth is really too rapid, but it is also understandable that, without a shortage of money, the pace of expansion is indeed not insignificant.

AMC TV, alone, has as many as eight television stations that have annexed news groups, not to mention local TV stations in major cities previously acquired, with a $4.7 billion valuation that has no moisture at all, not to mention TV shows and reality shows that can easily overwhelm the latest season of NBC TV content.

What's most amazing is the huge base of 51 million subscribers to AMC TV, which is a fat piece of meat that any TV station can't help but see.

“At most, it's over $8 billion, and it looks like in any case, there's a lot of cash to spend, but it doesn't matter, as long as you complete the merger and acquisition of NBC Worldwide, it's all worth it, my media kingdom. ”

Andy sat in jeopardy, his eyes burning for a week, his fists slowly clasped, his voice a little low, but his firm and ambitious voice revealed that everyone in the room clearly felt his boss's ambition was a must.

“Bang--”

“Good shot!” Warren Buffett with a duck tongue cap watched a beautifully curved golf ball fall near a white flag pole in the distance, and he couldn't help but admire it, "it looks like you've made a lot of progress. ”

“Speaking of sports projects, seriously, there is no sport that can hold me back, and the key is that I'm not interested.” Andy's mouth curled and his face blushed with a thick 13 flavors.

Warren Buffett couldn't help but shake his head and not get involved in the matter. He gave the club to the boy behind him. After saying thank you, he took off his glove on his right hand and said: “General Electric basically accepted my terms, which surprised me, but it was also expected, and Jeff looked forward to meeting you very much, but when he walked away, he was notified by the Treasury Department of a videoconference and could only come back later. ”

Andy has no doubt about this. Jeff Yimert, who is in the middle of nowhere, could never have stayed with him slowly. He didn't care about it. Instead, he smiled and said to Warren Buffett: “It seems that the compromise made by Universal makes you very happy and satisfied. With your personality, it must be a condition of steady earning and not losing money. It seems that a good reputation and influence can really be realized into real gold and silver! ”

“Oh, it's not just about fame, I've invested $3 billion... ”

When he heard Warren's rebuttal, Andy picked a frown and said, "Come on, Warren, General Electric may be really short of money, but it's not hard if they really want it. ”

Andy didn't put it very bluntly, but the old man who was proud of picking up a cigarette PIGU for a steady and unpaid chance of speculation, naturally understood what Andy was saying, and they all knew very well that the most serious problem at hand was weak market confidence, and that General Electric opened finance, most importantly to allay people's concerns about their financial health.

“Besides NBC Worldwide, don't you want to join? You know, this opportunity is not annual, and interest and preferred shares are a significant gain.” Warren and Andy get in the electric car and head for the next golf area.

“I'm not as wealthy as you are, my money is everywhere, short-term investments are easy to say, but it takes three or four years to get the return, I don't have that patience, hey, the money is low enough!” Andy shook his shoulders helplessly, acting like he wasn't caught.

“Cough, you little...” Buffett coughed softly and shook his head crying, who on Wall Street didn't know, this little guy in front of him for some time in a row, almost made a robbery emptying of Lehman, MG Stanley, Citigroup, AIG, and even Goldman Sachs, almost eating to sustain this little bastard, and pretended to be a bunch of money, really made people hate to go up and slap him.

“By the way, Berkshire-Hathaway's share price has recently fallen quite sharply, 14%, and if you didn't know you had enough money, you wouldn't have...” Andy picked a bad smile and looked like I was very interested in running out of your company.

Warren wasn't worried about that, as Andy said, he had enough money in his hands to blow up all the empty forces that dared to empty his company and make it homeless.

“Welcome aboard!” Warren said faintly that the tone of voice showed a sense of indulgence and hegemony.

Andy just couldn't help laughing, although he had the chance to give the old man a knife in front of him, but the gain and the expense were disproportionate, and there could be an old JIAN foe, something he wouldn't do without paying off.

Almost half an hour after Andy and Warren played golf, a silver-white haired Jeff Imert arrived late with a sincere apology, first expressing his apologies very sincerely to Warren and Andy, and the three of them spent almost a dozen minutes chilling to make the meeting normal.

“Andy, if you want to invest too, we can give you the same terms as Warren, I can guarantee that. ”

Speaking of investment, Jeff Imeldt directly lifted his cards without a bend. For the current four-sided Chu Song, being able to pull the stock and wealth gods into this financing plan, it is absolutely easy to solve the problem of General Electric.

“Thank you.” Andy had a little accident, first thanking each other for their kindness, then shook his head, and some awkward laughs: “Although I'd love to get involved, I have other plans underway, not a lot of cash, and I keep turning around, preferred shares or something. Forget it, ordinary shares, I subscribe to $3 billion in ordinary shares, hopefully this will help you, my friend! ”

When he heard Andy smell so bad, Warren Buffett's smile remained the same, only the corner of his mouth unnaturally smoked slightly. Perhaps the best thing he wanted at the moment was to find a place to throw up for a while, and Jeff was so happy to see him, there was a little excitement and Andy shook his hand to thank him, and he had an impulse to throw up again, and then he smiled and said, “Since we're all friends, we don't have to be so polite, let's play ball and talk. ”
