Chapter 1446 Sniper Sunny (1/10)
Shuo Ni caused trouble and brought so much trouble to Taihua Holding Group. How could Feng Yu not fight back? How could he swallow his anger?
Although those people are openly separated from Sauni and there is no direct evidence to involve Sauni, as long as they are not blind, they can know that this matter is absolutely unrelated to Sauni.
At this time, Sauni's advantageous businesses are ps game consoles, digital cameras, digital cameras, flat-screen TVs, mobile phones, computers, music players, etc., which does not include their entertainment business in movies, songs and other aspects.
Among them, in terms of movies and songs, Zoni is also the top in the world. Only through better works can Zoni be defeated.
The former ace Michael Jackson, whose image has gradually declined in recent years, and the new flagship singer of Zooni has not reached the height of Michael Jackson.
As for movies, with the popularity of CDs, Sauni made a lot of money with their huge film and television copyrights. Fortunately, people are more interested in new movies now, so Sauni Pictures' profits are gradually decreasing.
The best way is to crack down on Soni's expansion. At this time, Soni Pictures is seeking to acquire MGM Film Company, which is the last independent production company among the eight major Hollywood film companies. The company has super IP such as 007, Tarzan of the Apes, and this massive film and television copyright.
Although these copyrights will be less popular if they are reissued, they have another great use, which is to take them out and remake them.
Feng Yu remembers that many remakes of movies in his previous life, and the final box office was surprising. Moreover, Feng Yu also had some classic movies in his mind, which also needed a capable company to produce.
The reason why MGM declined is that the movies they shoot only focus on the plot, not on the effects. When they go to the cinema, of course they hope to enjoy a visual feast. As for the good plot, can’t I buy CDs? Or can’t I pay to watch on video websites?
Whether you buy CDs or watch them for a fee, they are much cheaper than movie tickets, and because you are at home, you will be more comfortable, more free, and can watch them repeatedly.
So now MGM's main revenue is to sell CDs, but their CD production is also handed over to Sony Pictures because they do not have their own CD production factory!
Soni Pictures has taken a fancy to MGM's massive copyright and its appeal as well as its old film companies, so it plans to eat it. But in fact, Soni Pictures does not have enough cash, and at least it is not enough to acquire MGM.
Even if MGM is in a downturn, it is worth $400 billion with the copyright and the company's brand value. Of course, it is no longer comparable to the value of $10 billion in other companies.
Soni has invested too much in electronics recently, such as digital cameras and digital cameras, to ensure a leading edge. For example, music player products need to catch up with Aiwa. For example, the newly joined plasma flat-screen TV camp requires a lot of money. For example, mobile phone sales are declining, and investment is required. Computer sales are declining, and investment is also required.
Even the TV game consoles that they dominated for several years had to increase R&D investment and strive to launch new models as soon as possible due to the strong rise of G-box and the renewal of Rentian.
So although Shuni's revenue last year was pretty good, if he wanted to acquire MGM, he really couldn't afford the money.
During the Internet bubble in the past two years, Soni's stock price has been falling all the way. It has just recovered recently, but it is still more than 30% less than its peak period.
So if Shuoni wants to acquire MGM, he can only go through financing and mergers and acquisitions, which is also a very common merger and acquisition method in the United States.
The acquisition plan that Soni announced was to adopt was a special leveraged acquisition, that is, using MGM's assets as collateral, issuing high-risk bonds, and borrowing from banks or other investment institutions.
For example, Soni needs $5 billion to acquire MGM, but the real assets may only cost $10 million, which is the power of leveraged acquisitions.
However, at the same time, if MGM's operating conditions are good and assets begin to increase in value, the benefits brought by the appreciation of assets are not shared by the Soni Company. It will not be possible to obtain the income from management normally after the loans and bonds are repaid.
Many people like to buy such high-risk bonds because the higher the risk, the higher the return may be. Sometimes a seemingly junk bond may bring a hundred times the return. Of course, more likely, this bond has indeed become garbage, a piece of waste paper.
This is equivalent to a bet, some people like it, while others stay away from it. The ecstasy of success and failure will not be too much hurt, as long as you buy not much.
In his previous life, Soni joined forces with several investment companies to take over MGM, and then acquired MGM through a series of equity transactions and other means.
This also further strengthened the development of Soni Pictures. In the short term, it brought Soni Pictures tens of billions of revenue, which is an unprecedented success.
However, this is also a kind of overdrawing and overdrawing MGM's brand potential, so MGM later fell into a bankruptcy storm and was eventually lost to the telescope company.
To acquire MGM, it is not only in terms of film and television, but also in many aspects such as hotels, resorts, cinemas, cafes, etc. Feng Yu is only interested in film and television and theaters. As for hotels, resorts, etc., Feng Yu actually has no interest at all, and plans to divest and sell it.
At this time, someone who is interested in this aspect needs to join, such as Donald.
"Feng, you said you want to acquire MGM? Do you want me to join you to complete this acquisition?" Donald's eyes were a little confused. He usually only invests in real estate and stocks, not film and television.
"Donald, MGM is not just about film and television, but also about resorts, hotels, cafes, etc. Are you interested in these? The real estate market in the United States has been rising recently." Feng Yu asked with a smile.
The prices of real estate in the United States have risen. As the king of real estate in New York, Donald's assets are naturally rising. Donald has a crazy obsession with real estate.
Donald's eyes lit up. There is no good real estate investment in New York recently, and investing in other places is also a good choice.
"You mean that after the acquisition, the MGM business will be split, and the real estate will belong to me, and the others will belong to you?"
Feng Yu nodded: "How is it, are you interested? You know, our Fengyu Holdings Group does not have particularly good talents for hotel and other property management, so we can guarantee that we will not lose money in our hands, but in your hands, we can guarantee that we can make money!"
"Feng, then when will we meet and talk carefully?"
"I will fly to New York the day after tomorrow and we will have an interview!"
