my gilded age

Chapter 662 A wave of cool operations, purchasing glass slag!

"Chen Jiashang is overconfident! "Painted Wall" completely defeated "Painted Skin 2"!"

"It is also advertised as a blockbuster, but "Painted Skin 2" is even more fierce!"

""Painted Skin 2" grossed 1.8 million at the box office in two days over the weekend! It set a box office record for domestic fantasy movies!"

Crushing, completely crushing!
When Bai Shiqiu did not attend the premiere, "Painted Skin 2" directly pressed "Painted Wall" to the ground and rubbed it.

This is only the first week, only two days, but the box office that "Painted Skin 2" has exploded gives people a feeling of great potential.

Want to challenge "Thirteen Panties"?
It seems that this is not impossible.

By the way, after "Thirteen Panties" was released, it really... received a lot of criticism.

Of course, there are a lot of praises, but after all, this is Lao Mouzi's new film, and it is not the "Three Guns". This film is definitely Lao Mouzi's work with great care, and there are too many things to say in it. .

However, this movie has been criticized and criticized by many female fans.

Why is it a woman?

In the film "Thirteen Panties", some practical elements are still a bit old, such as the focus on highlighting the women who were involved in the massacre in the film.

Many of the films have been used and are no longer fresh, and female movie fans don't really buy them.

This was definitely a surprise, a big surprise.

But as for the movie, it’s not Monday yet.

"Breaking news! Blizzard paid $60 billion to redeem itself!"

"Breaking news! Blizzard's funding sources include Chinese influence!"

"Breaking news! Mr. Penguin Ma and Bai Shiqiu participated in the entire acquisition!"

It's all so heavy-handed that there seems to be no other words for it.

There's no way, those in finance may be a little poor in literary accomplishments, and they just want to deceive people, especially the financial media, and this time a really big news broke.

Activision Blizzard acquires itself!

Oh, there seems to be some problems with this understanding, or to put it simply, the glass slag is out of Vivendi's control.

In terms of funds, a total of US$60 billion was used for this matter.

To be honest, there seems to be a big gap between this acquisition and the previous rumors. Before, everyone seemed to think that Activision Blizzard should be worth at least 200 billion, but now it only cost 60 billion. And, what about Activision?
In other words, why did Vivendi let go?
In fact, this matter is really quite reasonable.

After Bai Shiqiu and Mr. Xiao Ma arrived in the United States, they came to visit them directly. Activision Blizzard was originally two companies, and the two offices and headquarters were different.

So, I went straight to the glass slag.

The glass slag seemed to clear up all of a sudden, and he nodded as if he was seeing a relative.

What is going on here?
Mr. Pony was shocked, but Bai Shiqiu said there was no need to be surprised, this was normal.

It makes sense, because Glass Slag has always wanted to leave Vivendi.

There is no need to talk more about the dispute between Glass Slag and Vivendi. Anyway, the two sides are relatively uncooperative now. You don't like me, and I don't like you.

Glass Slag wants to be independent, and this also involves Activision over there.

Activision also wants to be independent.

The key now is what to do?
Everyone wants to be independent, but Vivendi doesn't agree. What can you do?
Bai Shiqiu said it would be easy to handle.

What can be done easily?

Just look at me.

It must be said that when he said this, Bai Shiqiu was really pretending to be abroad, but he also really had the capital to pretend, and then he performed a particularly showy operation.

Buy Activision Blizzard stock directly on the stock market.

You know, they were still a company at this time, and it was Friday in the United States, which happened to be the last stock market trading day.

So, buying goods directly from the market, is this Bai Shiqiu's method?

It's too boring.

At the same time, Bai Shiqiu also began to acquire shares of Vivendi!
Vivendi has done too many acquisitions. It is a vulture company, so its ownership structure is very complicated.

Let's put it this way, shareholders who hold more than 5% of the shares are basically the major shareholders, and can even control the shares.

Bai Shiqiu directly laid out his plans and sold US$10 billion to sweep Vivendi's shares on the market.

With this attitude, he can quickly become Vivendi's major shareholder.

Of course, many people will definitely snipe at him, but it doesn't matter.

However, is it possible to work hard like this?
Things in the stock market still require strength, just like Vivendi. Yes, everyone knows that the ownership structure of this company is very loose, but no one has come to take action.

The simple reason is that I don’t have that much money.

Moreover, it is necessary to truly realize control. This matter... French law stipulates that when you hold more than 30% of a company's stock, you can initiate an acquisition. To put it bluntly, you can control the company.

For 30% of the stock, based on Vivendi's stock price, this would require nearly 300 billion U.S. dollars. In addition, during the acquisition process, because you Bai Shiqiu purchased it directly from the market, there must be a large premium for this stock. In this case, I am afraid it will require 500 billion U.S. dollars. Only US dollars can truly acquire this company founded by Napoleon III, which was originally a water company.

is it possible?
Bai Shiqiu made a very interesting move.

On Friday, Billion took action to attack Vivendi. This action had to be stopped immediately because it was Friday, and the market was closed for the weekend.

At this time, Bai Shiqiu was given a chance to perform.

At this time, the stock markets in Europe and the United States have been closed, and everyone is already preparing for the weekend. Then, many media people, like our stock market slanderers, came out.

"Shiqiu Shiro? He must be a lunatic! Otherwise, I really can't figure out what use a billion dollars is to a company with a market value of hundreds of billions of dollars!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, Youxi.com is still a good company. I still recommend investing. The current stock price is just right. However, its boss, Mr. Bai, is really dumbfounding... I don't want to say that he is a fool, haha …”

"This kind of acquisition is really clumsy! People can't help but scold a few words! Barbarians are not as good as you!"

As a financial bastard, he can at least play the barbarian at the door joke.

Anyway, it was basically a sarcastic meal, and everyone felt that Bai Shiqiu was just talking nonsense and joking.

No one is optimistic, and some people from Vivendi even came out to say something. They were thanking Bai Shiqiu for helping them drive up the stock price.

Hey, you're quite good at talking.

However, Bai Shiqiu sent out a small message.

"Everyone says I have no strength, but they think I have no money, and that several of my companies cannot be listed. These things are actually easy to handle... When funds are tight, I will buy TT mobile phones for one yuan. , Oh, by the way, now we have some more businesses, and we are going to launch new products, such as TT speakers, TT air purifiers..." This news seems to be nothing, just one dollar to acquire one of your own companies.

However, the person with a keen sense of smell immediately discovered the problem.

TT Mobile, this name seems to be similar to TT, a very popular social networking software in mainland China. However, TT Mobile is a mobile phone and is not something owned by TT.

And what is TT?
TT is the largest capital of Youxi.com at present. In addition to its own business, such as websites and videos, Youxi.com also agents games on Yamaguchi.

The remaining thing that fascinates investors the most is this TT, because everyone is optimistic that this is the mainland Chinese version of Facebook.

However, now I discovered that TT mobile phones have nothing to do with TT... Well, they are all Bai Shiqiu's industry.

Then this...

It became clear at once that if the one-dollar acquisition is completed, wouldn’t it be equivalent to the launch of TT mobile phones in disguise?

So, what will happen to Youxi.com’s shares on Nasdaq?
It is absolutely like riding a rocket to the sky!

Although TT mobile phone has not been established for a long time, its current market share in the mobile phone market in mainland China is very strong, exceeding 5%, and its future growth will definitely not be low.

People who work in finance are optimistic about this kind of thing. In fact, many people think that it is better to wait for TT mobile phone to develop better before launching it on the market.

I'm afraid it will break the [-] mark once it is launched.

If we do this now...

Pretty much the same, the key is speed!
If you do some calculations, then this... seems to be about the same!
If Youxi.com’s shares soar, wouldn’t Bai Shiqiu have enough funds to acquire 30% of Vivendi’s shares?
At this time, Xiao Ma also came out to speak.

"As Bai Shiqiu's loyal comrade and old friend, I absolutely support Bai Shiqiu! We penguins will also absolutely support him!"

Does this still require analysis?
Enough, enough to buy a stake in Vivendi.

If a lever is put up, the entire Vivendi may be acquired directly.

However, this is enough for Mr. Pony. He was directly upgraded to Bai Shiqiu's old friend. This guy probably has the attribute of being familiar with him.

In this way, there is nothing that people on Wall Street don't understand about simple calculations, and what is even more clear are those black-mouthed people in the stock market.

"Ah ha! I definitely recommend everyone to invest in Youxi.com! Bai Shiqiu is definitely a super CEO!"

"As I said before, he is a very creative super boss!"

"Let us look forward to it! A super takeover war is about to begin!"

These shows have absolutely no bottom line... Blow up!
I was still saying that on Friday, but it changed the next day. Really... Anyway, this kind of program is like this, shameless, and this time there is a reason.

Blowing white and solid autumn.

So, what’s next is a takeover battle?

The interesting thing happened, there was no war.

Signed an alliance under the city.

A company like Vivendi is just for making money. Now that I can see that they are not bad at it, let’s discuss it and let me make a profit.

In fact, Bai Shiqiu was waiting for them to discuss this matter.

Yes, those previous one-billion-dollar shopping, the TT mobile phone, and even Mr. Pony came out to support it. This is all a show.

If you scare your opponents, they will come over and negotiate. Then, let's agree on all the benefits, and our goal is just glass shards.

Glass Slag just wants to be independent. Well, let us do you a favor and help you redeem yourself.

Glass Slag also had some funds of his own, and then bought back the stocks controlled by Vivendi, which included nearly 5 million shares. The funds to be used were 60 billion, of which Bai Shiqiu and Xiao Ma contributed 40 billion, and the remaining It's the glass slag itself.

After that, Glass Slag and Activision will be separated and dismantled, and this is how it works.

Bai Shiqiu and Xiao Ma spent 50 billion US dollars to acquire a tens of billions game company.

Of course, the two of them are only major shareholders, and they didn't really sell out as much as 50 billion. They are not stupid. They are still like that, they don't want to be completely controlled by others.

This is how it was done.The key point is that Glass Slag wants to be independent, and they don't have so much cash on hand. Although their market value is quite high, they still have Activision.

Could it be that Bai Shiqiu really came up with such a coquettish operation?
In that small steakhouse in Los Angeles, Bai Shiqiu was eating steak.

"Old Bai, do you know? You have gone too far."

"Classmate Feng Ru, my old classmate, I thank you for helping me handle this acquisition, but please don't point too many fingers, okay?"

"You! Lao Bai, you are a fucking bastard! You eat my mother, use my... ideas, play with me, and then you are... a bastard!"

"Hahaha... I didn't say that, what you said is interesting, as if I took advantage of it, didn't you benefit from it?"

"Nonsense! But are you embarrassed to make such a small profit?"

The speaker was of course Feng Ru. There was no one else in the steakhouse at this time, and Bai Shiqiu was enjoying his meal happily.

But listening to these words, it seems that the hero of this wave is Feng Ru.

Yes, it's her. Bai Shiqiu also admits that she is relatively average in some aspects, such as finance.

But I just don't understand why Feng Ru is so good at finance?
The previous method of borrowing new money to repay old money, and the current acquisition case... are amazing.

Isn't she her old classmate?

We've been together since high school, so we all learned about the same thing, right?
Bai Shiqiu felt...that his IQ was being crushed, so he wanted to do something bad.

He stopped his knife and fork, approached Feng Ru with a smile, and said: "My old classmate, you are so heartless to say that. If you don't say anything else, it's just 'playing'... Didn't you also enjoy it at that time? "

This... is too bad.

"Damn it!" This was probably the first time that Feng Ru was told this by Bai Shiqiu... She was so shy.

She was the one who criticized him before.

But suddenly, Bai Shiqiu's eyes suddenly opened wide, and then he yelled.

Get down!

Feng Ru was confused, but Bai Shiqiu pulled her to the ground. Next...

Dangdang!
Plates, tables, glasses, all kinds of breaking sounds...
