Reborn Wealth America

Chapter 213 Tut...This is Hollywood

Disney: $172.835 billion.

Warner Media Group (Time Warner): $77.270 billion.

21st Century Fox: $54.9 billion.

Comcast (Universal parent company): The market value is 178 billion US dollars.

Sony (Sony Columbia's parent company): Market value of 40 billion US dollars.

Viacom (Paramount's parent company) has a market value of 14.2 billion US dollars.(Yes, less than one-tenth of Disney)

Lions Gate Pictures market value: 4 billion US dollars

This is the market value of several major Hollywood companies that Abel learned from Alvertley after a phone call.

There are many Hollywood film and television companies with a certain degree of influence, but unlisted and private companies, and those with too low market value are excluded.

These are the only ones who can enter Abelpha's eyes.

This is the recent market value of these large companies, and the top companies with the most influence in Hollywood.

Below this, there are small film and television entertainment companies such as searchlights.And the ones below are some independent film production companies with a market value of tens of millions of dollars.

Such as STXEntertainment, OpenRoadFilms and so on.

In addition to these traditional film and television companies.

In 2016, Hollywood and the media industry also squeezed into a giant.

The American Telephone and Telegraph Company (AT&T) is a telecommunications company, founded in 1877, which has monopolized the federal long-distance and local telephone markets for a long time.

Its status in the Federation is similar to that of China Mobile and Telecom.However, mobile and telecommunications can only honestly operate their own industries. In addition to telecommunications, AT&T has also entered many other industries.

Although it seems a bit unsuccessful, in 2016, AT&T officially entered the media industry and acquired Time Warner, one of the Hollywood giants, at a premium of $85 billion.And changed the name of Time Warner to Warner Media Group.

If you count it from the head office, relying on at&t's New Time Warner, its total value is properly more than Disney.

Its latest market value is 222.488 billion US dollars, an undisputed giant.

But having said that, the market value of these film and television companies is completely incomparable with those of the Internet giants.

Even after this time the U.S. stock market plummeted.Those Internet giants randomly picked up one, and its market value is the sum of the top ten of film and television groups!

After finishing the conversation with Alvertley, Abel put down his phone and fell into thought.

If you want to truly enter Hollywood, enter the media industry, and enter the film and television industry.

Excluding the game ticket does not count, if you want to manage it well.The fastest and best way is to acquire a film and television company.

He learned about these film and television companies from Alvertley.Excluding Disney and New Time Warner that cannot be acquired at present.

Sony Pictures should not be sold either.

Comcast, the parent company of Universal Pictures, is also a giant. Universal has made so much money in recent years, and Comcast has no reason to sell such a cash cow.

Then only Paramount and Lionsgate with the lowest market value are left.

Although the market value of the former is as high as 14.2 billion U.S. dollars, Abel's current cash flow is almost 20 billion, and all-cash acquisitions are fine.

The latter is cheaper.

The market value is only nearly 4 billion U.S. dollars, although it has been delisted, if you want to buy, you can also buy shares from his shareholders.

But Lionsgate Entertainment is no longer in that year. When they launched The Hunger Games, the company even vaguely became one of the new Hollywood Seven.

But then it withered.

The half-dead delisting, although some good movies are still released, it is no longer possible to catch up with the remaining six giants in Hollywood.

Its specific ranking should be the first under the Big Six.

Another Viacom (Paramount), although its market value is very low, has not ranked so high in recent years.

But the current market value of this company is a very suitable company for Abel.

Because of the fall in US stocks this time, Viacom's total market value has fallen from around US$17 billion to US$18 billion to the current US$14.2 billion.

Because the price is cheap enough, Abel can afford it now.His interest in Viacom is relatively strong, and Alvert Lido understands some of Viacom's holdings.

Alvertley quickly obtained some of Viacom's current shareholders' shareholding ratio through his own channels.

The first shareholder is undoubtedly the largest shareholder of Viacom, Summer Redstone, who personally holds 11.022% of the shares.

The second place is an institution, American Pioneer Group, the world's largest no-fee fund family and the world's second largest fund management company.

The third shareholder, Pioneer Group, only has about 6% of the shares, the fourth is only about 4%, the fifth is only about 3%, the sixth is about 2%, and the seventh is about 1%.

From the perspective of this shareholder ratio, its shares are super dispersed.

But this kind of dispersion is actually the normal shareholding ratio of such large companies in the United States.

A company with a larger market value has a larger and more dispersed proportion of apparent shareholders.

Like Bluestar Future, there are only a few shareholders, except for start-up companies, almost all of them are very rare.

Just like the old horse in China, he only owns about 8% of Ari's shares, but this does not hinder his control of the company, nor does it prevent him from becoming one of the richest people in China.

"14.2 billion!"

Abel became interested in Viacom.

Because with his current cash flow, he can buy Viacom with cash without relying on anyone.

His current cash is close to 20 billion U.S. dollars. With this sum of money, if he makes full use of it, the acquisition of Viacom will be no problem at all.

Even if it is a 20% premium, it will only cost about $17 billion.

He can now use the funds.

Because even if it spends 17 billion US dollars, he still has close to 3 billion US dollars in cash flow, and after the signing of the contract between Fidelity and the two major funds, they can still get about 3 billion US dollars in cash from them.

If you really want to acquire.

You can start now!

Abel has always been an activist.

He will do it right away if he decides a good thing.

He dialed Albertelli again.

After a few seconds.

"Al. Gradually absorb Viacom's stock on the market!"

Alvertly's breathing suddenly came from the other end of the phone.

"BOSS. Do you want short-term investment or long-term holding?"

"Is there any difference?"

"For short-term investment, from your boss, I support it 100%. But for long-term investment, these entertainment companies are really not suitable."

"This time I don't play short-term, and I don't play long-term. This time I want to be the owner of one of the top six in Hollywood!"

Alvertley on the other side of the phone paused.

"No problem! Boss!"

"Very good! First diversify investment and absorb Viacom's stock that is scattered on the market."

"Okay! No problem! The U.S. stock market is so down now, I believe that if we do this, many people who own stocks will be happy!"

"What are you waiting for?!"

Abel hung up the phone.

Turn around.

Seeing a pair of shiny eyes, he was lying on the ground looking at himself excitedly.

The mantis sister who felt like she was falling apart widened her eyes and looked at Abel incredible.

She whispered incredibly: "Do you want to buy Paramount?!"

"What's the matter? Can't it? I'm not without money, I can still easily take out a Viacom's money!"

"call……"

Girl Mantis took a deep breath.

Regardless of the fatigue on her body and the stickiness of her whole body covered with dried white pulp, she showed a very charming smile.

Climbed over.

Take off Abel's waist shorts.

Then the head began to bow together.

Feel the warmth and tolerance, as well as the meticulous service of Mantis Girl.

Abel took a deep breath.

It seems that the acquisition of Viacom must be executed immediately.Originally, I was worried that there was some resistance in the role-playing just now, and some mantis sisters who were not happy would have trouble afterwards.

Because just now, Sister Mantis was pierced by Elizabeth and Karen Gillan.

She was crying.First, even though I was prepared in my heart, this kind of forced appearance would not be liked by a normal woman.Second, it's too big, some can't stand it, and it hurts.

Now that Abel wants to acquire Viacom, he is likely to become Paramount’s boss.

The attitude of Mantis Girl is different.

Gee... this is Hollywood!

Abel sighed.
