"If Buffett wants to complete the acquisition, we guess that he will reach the transaction at a price of 30% to 40% of the stock price that day, that is, the US stock market is about $100, and Burlington North Santa Fe Company has $10 billion in debt, and Buffett will definitely have to bear all of this debt.

So to complete this acquisition, Berkshire Hathaway will eventually need to pay $44 billion to achieve its goal. According to the information we have, Warren Buffett previously had $40 billion in cash, which means that he almost needed to do his best.

However, this acquisition model is definitely not something that both parties will choose. The original shareholders of Northern Santa Fe will not choose to settle all cash. After all, Berkshire Hathaway's stocks are very high-quality stocks. Even if Warren Buffett is unwilling to hand over Berkshire Hathaway's stocks, in order to complete the transaction, it will inevitably meet the other party's requirements and complete the acquisition in the form of a large amount of cash and stocks!"

After the meeting, Andy returned to the office, lay lazy on the boss's chair, crossing his hands in front of him, listening to Alvetle sitting opposite him with more detailed reports, and Budstone, who was sitting beside him, was also listening quietly.

These words are what Andy thinks are the most valuable, and it is also the most important reason why he is willing to spend money to support his think tank. You must know that just collecting some information and doing data analysis, I am sorry for the generous rewards Andy gives them every year. The more important thing is to accurately analyze and predict, and provide key testimony for the decisions he made, as a boss.

"What is our purchase price?" Andy asked, frowning and looking at Al.

"The total cost of $70-73 is more than $900 million." Badstone, who was standing by, replied that he was better at raising funds in the secondary market, and the Free City Investment Company, which he led, was better at, so these operations were all responsible for, and the specific situation was clearer.

"That is to say, by the time Buffett acquires, he can earn 400 million US dollars..." Andy frowned slightly dissatisfied. Although the profits were already quite considerable, how could Andy Smith, who never minded the money, meet this profit even though he knew he could quarrel.

"What about the gains from the sniper News Corporation this time?"

“2.173 million.”

"Tsk tsk, not too much." Andy smashed his mouth a few times, looked at Badstone, and said lightly, "You must know that the two cities in the United States and Turkey and Australia combined, News Corporation shrank by $14 billion this time, and his subordinates only grabbed less than $2.2 billion. The results are really not very good."

When Budstone heard the boss's dissatisfaction, she couldn't help but smile and explained with a wry smile: "Boss, it's not just us who shorted it. Moreover, Murdoch used a large amount of funds to repurchase the stock price of News Corp. Our profit this time is already very rich. After all, the newspapers and magazines that have problems this time are just a small industry of News Corp. It can't deal with a heavier blow to News Corp."

Andy naturally knew the risks of short hedging, especially the target company still has a large amount of funds to buy back stocks. This is undoubtedly a money war. "In this way, the three million will be used as a bonus, and 170 million will be transferred to my private account. The remaining 2 billion will be used to continue to acquire shares of Northern Santa Fe Railway Company, and the remaining 1 billion will be used to continue to acquire shares of Starbucks, Qualcomm and Costco.

Since we have to slowly erode, we cannot stop it. Once the market falls, people will naturally be unable to hold back and sell their stocks."

"Okay, boss." Budstone nodded in response.

"That's it. I'm going to give it to Seattle today. In the next period of time, I'll leave the affairs of New York to you to help me keep an eye on it. If you have any questions, just call me." Andy instructed me to explain.

"I understand." x2

Sending off the two most capable subordinates, Andy opened the folder on the desk to look through the documents, reached out to press the answering machine beside him and said lightly: "Torry, please inform the people of Universal Music and let them bring people here..."

After looking at the time on the watch, he continued, "Give them three hours to shoot, so they are ready, don't waste my time."

"Okay boss, I'll call them right away."

Release the answer button, Andy continued to look at the file. It took him several days to fly to Seattle this time. His music album has been recorded, and now only a few MVs and collection photos are still delayed.

Andy has decided not to appear on the screen in the MV shooting, so he can let Universal Music go and do it. However, if you shoot promotional posters, music covers, and collection photos, you can't be lazy and perfunctory.

This album is very likely to be his only music album. At this point, both Universal Music and Andy Smith's fans have speculated. Therefore, the production of this album was treated by Universal Music in the idea of ​​creating absolutely fine products, and created a collection of his signature photo album and commemorative version to make money. Speechlessly, Andy's fans are still very fond of this set, and they all left messages to look forward to the album's launch.

I have to say that it is really easy to make money in the fan economy. Andy doesn't want his fans to surrender and consume his popularity. Therefore, in order to make fans feel that they are worth the money when they buy it, he can only take time as much as possible to cooperate with Universal Music's money-making gimmick. After all, Andy Smith has never been polite when he is dividing money.

Since he and Cheryl and Shakira perfectly performed "Hall of Fame" at White Hart Lane Stadium, Andy's album and the music album that music fans around the world have been most anticipated. Starting from "ifyou", almost none of the songs Andy throws out are bad songs. Although it cannot be said that each song is very popular, the absolute number of them is classic and widely sung.

Although the album has not been released yet, Rolling Stone magazine has predicted that Andy's album may be expected to break the record of breaking the fastest platinum sales. Few people will question this view, which shows how popular Andy's album, which has not been released, has reached a point of popularity.

If Andy hadn't decided to stop it, Universal Music would have started pre-sales in advance.

Speaking of this, Andy was also amused and crying. His fans left messages on his ins, Universal Pictures’ official ins and Facebook almost every day, urging the speed of the album production and hope to be launched soon. As the number of people urging this urged, Universal Music became jealous. They wanted to sell more, so it was like starting pre-sales directly.

Andy also knows his own business. The album is about to be launched, but he doesn’t know how many months it will take to wait and pre-sale a few months in advance. Isn’t this a problem?

Therefore, he would never agree. Fans' patience can be slowly polished, but once the fans are sad and feel deceived, it is fatal. It is easy to turn fans into black.

When the Universal Music shooting team arrived in a burgeoning manner, Andy also cooperated very well to start the shooting work. With Andy's current status and status, he naturally did not need to wear some fancy outfits and find some special scenes to improve 13 square meters.

What kind of scene is more stylish than the office of the richest man in the world?

What's more, Andy felt that he was just walking around casually and making a few moves, which was enough. Who made him so rich?

So, sometimes, he supported his hands on the desk, leaned forward, his face was cold, and he exuded a pressure. Then, he stood in front of the sunny floor-to-ceiling window, pinched his chin, and made a contemplative look, lying lazily in the sofa, crossed his hands in front of him, looking into the distance, wandering outside the sky...

"Perfect!" The photographer looked at the photos on the computer monitor and sighed with a smile. And Andy just smiled.

"Boss, if you take a few swimming photos, you will definitely make fans crazy." The little assistant who looked at the photo suddenly smiled and suggested that the photographer and Universal Music staff were both on the side lit their eyes and looked at Andy with a very hopeful look.

"Bad idea!" Andy gave the assistant a angrily look. He is the richest man in the world and a successful entrepreneur. If he really takes that kind of photo, he will lose the wrong way. Even if his fans like it, he will not be able to do something that does not match his identity.

Sometimes, it is not because he is pretentious or arrogant, but because he really reaches a certain level and cannot do whatever he wants. Although Andy doesn't care about the ridicule of others, there is no need to do it deliberately, freedom is him.
