After the discussion on Monday afternoon, Amy Pascal began contact with the heads of the three old TV networks. This is of course a smoke bomb. Simon’s real goal has not changed.

In the face of the acquisition intention of Daenerys Entertainment, the three major TV networks all gave quite positive responses.

Jack Welch, chairman and CEO of NBC’s parent company General Electric, personally called Simon after Amy contacted him. However, Jack Welch said on the phone that GE did not want to completely abandon the media business. It is hoped to sell about half of the equity to Daenerys Entertainment, which obviously cannot meet Simon's requirements.

Larry Tisch, the actual controller of CBS, also wanted to talk to Simon in person. Simon was actually not interested in CBS. The two parties only called twice, and Larry Tisch gave an offer in the second call. The 50% premium of the current market value of CBS is completely slaughtering Simon as a fat sheep.

Not only that, but also the rumored news that Daenerys Entertainment intends to acquire CBS quickly led to a significant increase in CBS stock price.Simon is happy to see this kind of confusion, but the perception of Larry Tisch is directly reduced to the lowest point.

The ultimate goal still falls on ABC.

At the Melisandre party after the Oscars at the end of March, Simon had a contact with Warren Buffett, the major shareholder of the Metropolitan ABC Group. Buffett was not resistant to the sale of ABC, but the veteran investor was obviously in cash and stocks. The performance of the trading model was quite tangled, and he also tried to develop a debt-to-equity swap plan that was completely unacceptable to Simon.

For more than a month, the share price of Metropolitan ABC Group has been driven by the overall bull market trend in the US stock market, and its market value has approached $17 billion.Similarly, under the influence of the good news of the opening of Universal Studios Osaka, the market value of Daenerys Entertainment Group also exceeded $140 billion.

Both stock prices have created their own new highs, and in the eyes of the capital market, they are also somewhat artificially high.

With Buffett's cautious investment style, coupled with the recent capital gains tax reform bill about to pass, the veteran investor directly chooses to cash out the Metropolitan ABC in full, but the possibility is growing.

Daenerys Entertainment Group has more than 7 billion US dollars in cash reserves, and its current overall debt is only 7.3 billion US dollars. Compared with the market value, the debt ratio is only 5%. Even if all-cash acquisition of the Metropolitan ABC Group, additional bond financing, Probably it will only increase the debt ratio of Daenerys Entertainment to 15%. For most companies, such debt scale can still only be described with caution, completely within the scope of controllable risks.

Now, the biggest problem between the two parties is actually to negotiate a reasonable price.

Simon is rich, but he will definitely not be the wrongdoer.Since the acquisition was in good faith, he could accept a premium of about 30%. If a lion opened his mouth like Larry Tisch, Simon would even prefer to talk more with General Electric, except for not wanting to let go, Jack Welch The sincerity of cooperation is very full.

In the midst of busyness, the 1995 summer program was officially opened.

On Friday, May 12, the first blockbuster "Red Tide Storm" was released this summer. Disney produced, Jerry Brookheimer, Tony Scott, Denzel Washington and several famous Hollywood filmmakers collaborated. The submarine war film cost US$53 million, and the number of screens opened was 2,383.

Also released during the same period was a film adaptation of the novel "Marginal Diary" produced by New World Pictures. The film was composed of the young "Little Plum" Leonardo DiCaprio and Mark, who was still a small fresh meat. Starring Wallberg, he tells a story about fallen youth about skipping classes, taking drugs, basketball, and drug addiction.

This low-cost youth film with a production cost of 7 million US dollars is similar to Gus Van Sant's "Psychedelic Cowboy" a few years ago.

Speaking of which, after completing the "Margin Diary" promotion, Xiao Lizi has entered the modern version of "Romeo and Juliet".

This is also a project of New World Pictures.

Australian director Buzz Luman made his debut in Hollywood three years ago with the "Hero of the Dancing Country". Subsequently, the director who apparently likes to work slowly and carefully has prepared three full years for this new film. After participating in the stage area for a while, I finally started shooting my new film recently.

The former Little Lizi also gained box office appeal with the success of this modern version of "Romeo and Juliet", and then got the role of "Titanic".

This time, Simon did not intend to change this.

At the same time as the summer program started, the two films "This Man Comes From Earth" and "Fighting Stars 3", which were probably counted as dark horses in the first half of the year, still stuck to the North American theater.

In the box office week that just passed from May 5 to May 11, the 11th week of this man from the earth was released. The weekly box office received another 2.53 million US dollars, and the cumulative box office reached 229.31 million US dollars. The film is expected to be in 6 Before the release of "Jurassic Park 2" on the 2nd, it was completely downgraded. The total box office in North America was about 235 million US dollars.

235 million US dollars, slightly lower than the 250 million US dollars previously expected. The reason for this is that the reason why "Retro Fight 3" is too strong has squeezed out the box office potential of "This Man From Earth" about 15 million US dollars.

The "Fighting Stars 3", which was drawn on April 7th, was released in the fifth week. It was a 23% drop from the box office last week. It continued to receive $14.69 million and the cumulative box office of the film reached $14.345 million.There are still three weeks to go before the release of "Jurassic Park 2" on June 2. According to the steady decline of 20% in the last few weeks of "Anti-intellect 3", the hope that the total box office of the film will exceed $200 million is still very strong. Big.

Simon was in San Francisco on May 12th.

After completing the employee stock ownership plan, Igrid’s IPO is ready and can be submitted to the SEC at any time, so Simon does not need to pay too much attention.

This time it was mainly for Tinkerbair.

The electronic product company founded by Simon Foster C Girl has taken advantage of the Internet in recent years, and its development momentum has been rapid.

Dinkel Bayer’s main digital camera shipments reached 7.16 million units. Compared with 1993, it achieved a high growth of 159%. Counting portable flash drive iDisk and other products, the annual revenue reached 2.19 billion US dollars And realized a net profit of US$270 million.

Unconsciously, this new concept technology company that was not obvious at the beginning of its establishment has grown into an electronic product giant that cannot be underestimated.

After the new product launch conference in 1995 on April 8, several of Tinkerbair’s flagship products were officially launched on April 15 a week later, and ended on May 11 in exactly four weeks.

In four weeks, the two main products of Tinkerbear this year, the mobile hard disk version of the iCam-50 digital camera and the latest digital music player-10, have been extremely popular in the market, especially since they have been more and more exposed. For the young people on the Internet, the first iCam and powerful ones have quickly become the standard.

This can be seen from the recent frequent iCams and robbery in many cities.

Because of its overwhelming popularity, many young people who cannot afford to buy have chosen extreme ways to obtain the new products of Tinkerbal, and the stolen iCam and the black market are also quite easy to sell, which has further caused the time period. There was even a murder. A couple used the latest iCam-50 to take photos of two young black men while taking photos on the shores of Lake Michigan. The boy was stabbed because of his resistance and eventually died of excessive blood loss.

In the face of the acquisition intention of Daenerys Entertainment, the three major TV networks all gave quite positive responses.

The ultimate goal still falls on ABC.

At the Melisandre party after the Oscars in late March, Simon had a contact with Warren Buffett, the major shareholder of the Metropolitan ABC Group.

This low-cost youth film with a production cost of 7 million US dollars is similar to Gus Van Sant's "Psychedelic Cowboy" a few years ago. There are many handsome men and women and reckless spoilers who rejoice in the rebellious young people. Despite the poor population of movie critics during the screening period, New World Films still gave 516 screens to open the picture, trying to make a splash in this upcoming summer.

Speaking of which, after completing the "Margin Diary" propaganda, Xiao Lizi has entered the modern version of "Romeo and Juliet".

According to the flat trend of 20% up and down for a few weeks in "Anti-intellect 3", the hope of the film’s local box office to exceed $200 million is still great. .
