Chapter 1721 is a threat

In the opinion of Luogan, cooperating with the Han family is much better than working with American Online!

Whether it is online channels, animation, film and television, or media channels, they are much stronger than American Online companies.

Marvel Studios has successfully developed comic IP. After the three comics "X-Men", "Blade Warrior" and "Man in Black", the filming of "Spider-Man", which has a more influential comic, has also been put on the agenda and is being quickly prepared.

It is said that popular IPs such as "Iron Man", "Hulk", "Captain America", "Transformers" will also appear next.

DC Comics also tried to learn its successful model, but unfortunately people are not interested in "Batman" and "Superman". Compared with the booming Marvel Comics, DC Comics is obviously in a state of lag behind now.

In addition, Industrial Light and Magic Special Effects Company and Pixar Animation Studio are also in the hands of Han Xuan and his grandfather. One is currently the world's top film special effects company and the other is the leader in the 3D animation production industry. These can play a strong role in promoting the film department, one of the pillar industries of Time Warner Group.

The possible "chemical reactions" in it are exciting just thinking about it. It is not just movies that can promote each other, but also the sos 24-hour convenience store all over the world can become the sales point of magazines and newspapers published by Time Warner Group, which will promote sales.

The ab TV station currently owned by the Han family can further expand Time Warner Group's influence in the media industry, and the Bloomberg News Agency, which focuses on the financial field, has made Luo Gan's existence envied for a long time.

In addition, his previous idea of ​​letting Time Warner Group enter the Internet field can also be solved by being acquired by Han Xuan. Compared with the search engine "Netscape", chat software "ICQ", news website, online shopping software, Han Xuan's Destiny Browser, wow chat software, gossip shopping website, etc., the user base is countless times larger!

What's more, the huge capital flow that Han Xuan has is also an advantage that American Online companies do not have. He has never expressed his interest in Time Warner Group before, so Lao Luogan would naturally not come to the door with shame and ask Han Xuan to acquire the company he manages.

The reason why he chose American Online was that he would still occupy the dominant position after the merger and acquisition. In cooperation with Han Xuan, Lao Luogan understood that Time Warner Group's existing rights system would definitely be undermined after the merger. He believed that he could not deal with the Han family, whose industrial scale was several times larger than that of his own.

Not to mention meeting Han Xuan, when he occasionally meets Executive Anthony during a party, he can't help but feel scared, feeling that he is not as good as Anthony. Before today, the total industrial scale of the Snow Mountain Group reached more than 1 trillion US dollars, which is a terrifying number that Lao Luogan needs to look up to...

When I heard Han Xuan's words clearly expressing the acquisition intention, the merger haze that shrouded Lao Luogan's heart suddenly disappeared. I suddenly thanked the bubble burst crisis that broke out today. If it was successfully acquired by Han Xuan, it would definitely be a big thing that would make shareholders happy. This is very beneficial to the future development of Time Warner and is a win-win situation.

Lao Luogan asked Han Xuan at this moment and said, "How do you want to cooperate? Xueshan Group? Star Investment? Oh, by the way, there is also a family trust fund?

The funds of these three companies are enough. The staff of our company's Fortune magazine have counted your value. You know, it's the end of the year again. People are concerned about your value. Statistics are underway. The fluctuations during this period are probably very large, but I think by the end of the year, there will still be a lot more than last year.

During the negotiations with the United States Online, all the data about our company was found. Today's stock price plummeted and the Internet industry was hit hard, while our Time Warner Group was not affected much.

The contract with AOL stipulates that the premium is only 5% and this is very beneficial to you. I mean when I used cash to acquire shares from other shareholders. I looked at the data after the transaction ended today. Time Warner Group's current market value is $1,416 billion."

Lao Luogan's tone was a little excited. He could see clearly the benefits of merging with Han Xuan Company, and Han Xuan was of course also clear.

If there is no benefit, the fool will think of using precious cash to acquire a company with such a high market value. In his next plan, the amount of funds needed to repurchase shares of Internet companies will be quite large.

Taking over Time Warner Group, the Han family's influence in the entertainment and media industries will cross more than one class and will truly become a media giant with the right to speak in the world!

The old executive Luogan was very happy at this moment, but Han Xuan's next words immediately made him unhappy. Han Xuan said: "In fact, Mr. Luogan, I don't think your Time Warner Group is worth more than 140 billion US dollars. In my opinion, its actual market value is only between 80 billion US dollars and 90 billion US dollars.

The management of American Online is not clear about the current technological development of the Internet industry, but you can't deceive me. Remember that I am still the largest shareholder of Cisco.

In the past decade, the reason why Time Warner Group's market value has continued to rise is mainly because your company has become the world's largest Internet access service provider. However, using dial-up Internet access technology to connect to the Internet has become a thing of the past, and fiber-optic broadband Internet access is the mainstream in the future.

As far as I know, Time Warner Group is already behind in this regard. Verizon Telecom, AT&T, T-Mobile and other companies have purchased equipment and materials worth tens of billions of dollars from Cisco, and your company has not spent half a cent.

I'm not stupid, Mr. Luo Gan. It's not my style to acquire a company that is destined to lose money in the past two years. So please pass on the news that I'm willing to acquire your company at a market value of 100 billion US dollars to those major shareholders. The transfer agreement will be carried out in secret. If the acquisition price is spread, I'm not sure if it will cause the stock price of Time Warner to collapse.

The current stocks in your company only account for 37% of the total share capital, which means that the market value price is inflated and the losses will be even more serious. This is my greatest sincerity, Mr. Luogan.”

...

The mall is never smooth, there are routines everywhere. Han Xuan saw clearly the tricks of the two companies when he heard that AOL and Time Warner Group were trying to merge, and kept watching with the mentality of waiting and watching jokes.

More than 98% of the market value of American Online companies is built in a virtual world. Management discovered that the Internet industry seemed unreliable, so they tried to acquire Time Warner Group to achieve the simultaneous development of the Internet industry and the physical industry.

Time Warner Group is still the largest Internet access service provider in the United States. It had earlier operated the cable TV access business and simply transformed it into a ready-made network cable. It has inherent advantages and has brought it a lot of revenue in recent years.

However, the company's senior executives recently discovered that the Internet is developing faster than they imagined, and broadband technology is developing rapidly, and people are beginning to be dissatisfied with the existing network speed. A large number of telecom operators are very far-sighted and willing to invest a lot of money to lay optical fibers between major cities, so as to enable network transmission speed and seize the Internet access service market.

This industry has been a free bargain. Time Warner's management does not understand the Internet market. It is too late to wake up. The original telephone line dialing-up Internet access has become an outdated technology and can no longer satisfy users.

When they want to transform, they find that new Internet access service providers of all sizes have occupied most of the United States. They cannot continue to maintain their advantages. This part of the business will not take long before it will be outdated and eliminated.

The reason why Cisco has developed so fast in recent years is that the world has begun to build faster fiber optic communication networks, and the supply of goods produced is in short supply. Many orders are calculated in "10 billion US dollars". The orders are not fully produced by 2003, which makes its market value successfully exceeding 350 billion US dollars shortly after it went public!

Just when the executives of Time Warner Group were in trouble with this, they happened to meet the big boss of AOL, AOL, and were willing to take on the downward trend of Time Warner Group. The members who knew the details were naturally happy. Seeing that the market value of AOL was rising, the two companies hit it off and happily discussed the merger.

As CEO, Mr. Dan Luogan is very clear about this matter. In fact, he conceived the plan to cheat American Online. At this moment, Han Xuan took it to talk to him on the spot and his face turned pale!

My mood was like a roller coaster ride. After just two minutes of happiness, I fell to a low point again, even more ugly than when I first came. I almost jumped out of the chair. If this news is shaken out, the market value of Time Warner Group is likely to be cut in half. Internet access business accounts for nearly half of the company's profits. Once investors learn that the main business is about to disappear and decline, the possible consequences will make Mr. Luogan frightened!

Since Han Xuan mentioned this, it means he was fully confident. After thinking about this, Executive Luo Gan thought of this, he forced himself back to his quibbling words that ran to his throat.

Understand that Time Warner Group was held by Han Xuan, he was a little frightened by Han Xuan's terrifying vision. He had just launched the market and foresaw the future of his company, which made Luo Gan feel terrible. Recently, it happened to be the collapse of the Internet bubble. At this moment, he was very worried that this matter would be leaked. His lips moved and almost couldn't speak. He said to Han Xuan in a nervous tone: "Are you threatening us?"
