Chapter 1722 Decisive
In the past, when American Online tried to acquire, Han Xuan could have stayed out of the matter and was waiting to see the jokes of these two companies in the near future. Now that he hopes to acquire Time Warner Group, he can no longer sit idly by.
Considering the true value of Time Warner, as he said just now, willingness to pay $100 billion is indeed a fair price. Not many years after my previous life, Time Warner's market value fell to more than $70 billion, and the market value of American Online was less than one percent of its peak period and was divested at a price of $1 billion.
Now he is willing to pay a "high price" of $100 billion, which is enough to show how much he wants to get this company. It is not a loss to spend so much money. Han Xuan believes that with his existing capabilities, he can make it take off again after acquiring Time Warner Group.
After thinking about it carefully, he suddenly realized that the merger of these two companies might be a joint establishment by both parties.
If the senior executives of American Online have found that Time Warner Group is about to decline, they will use mergers to attract investors to pay attention to this giant company with a very high market value after the merger, allowing the senior executives of both parties to sell their shares at a high price.
This kind of speculation is very likely. Han Xuan has always liked to guess the behavior of businessmen and politicians with the deepest malice. As long as they have sufficient interests, Han Xuan will not find it strange no matter what they do.
After thinking about this, he sighed in his heart that his teachings were not deep enough. If it were his grandfather, he would definitely see more thoroughly. The old man was born to be more considerate than others...
Hearing Han Xuan confessed that the executive officer Lao Luogan was a little confused about how to respond. He was confused by his unconventional behavior. According to the proposal of a market value of 100 billion US dollars, he did not feel embarrassed. This experienced old executive officer knew clearly what kind of situation the profits of Time Warner Group would drop in the next two or three years.
He fell into a state of thinking and could not help but talk to Han Xuan. And even though he was threatened by him, although his approach was a bit rough, it was indeed very useful.
The executive officer Lao Luogan felt that Han Xuan had grabbed the tail of his company, and after a while he spoke, "I... will convey your ideas. Only a small number of people know about this. I will call and tell the major shareholders later.
The price you offer is too low, which means that those shareholders will sell your company's stock at two-thirds of the price, so they are likely to refuse to agree to your request. Even if the news is released, many people may choose to do that, and they will not give up hope until the stock price actually falls.
After I communicate with them, I will immediately decide to tell you that as for what you will choose to do, that is your own business.
In fact, I hope to see you more than that after acquiring Time Warner Group, ab TV station was well developed after being acquired by your family. I think this company has more development potential in your hands.
When Times and Warner decided to merge in 1990, I received 0.4% reward shares, and I received some one after another every year. Now I hold about 0.94% shares of this company.
Some time ago, I was about to wait until the merger with American Online resumed trading, so I sold this part of the stock. I just changed my mind. Even if Time Warner Group's stock price plummeted in the short term, I will continue to hold it, and it will definitely bring me returns in the future."
Han Xuan heard the meaning of the words. The executive of Lao Luogan was placing a letter of fame. The meaning in the last sentence was quite obvious: Even if there is news that is unfavorable to the company, he will be optimistic about its prospects after it is acquired by Han Xuan.
Since Han Xuan started his business, his routine has been clearly understood by his peers. Every time he decides to acquire which company, the stock price or valuation of which company will rise sharply. Except for trying to acquire Bombardier in Canada, he was rejected by the other party, almost all other companies were finally taken down by him.
Recently, although he has no intention of acquiring Texas Instruments, its stock price is still above the previous level. Many investors know that Han Xuan will definitely not give up, so they are quietly waiting for him to take action.
As the CEO of a company, Mr. Luogan has great power. His usual responsibilities are to manage the company and communicate with shareholders about the company's development decisions.
It is better for him to communicate with the board of directors of Time Warner Group than Han Xuan who came to him personally. There are many things that Lao Luogan can say, but he is not suitable for him.
As a "prodigal businessman" who tries to acquire a company at a low price, this identity will make it difficult for those existing shareholders of Time Warner to have a good impression of Han Xuan from the beginning, and their market value exceeds one-third less. No matter who encounters such a thing, I believe it will be difficult to have a good impression of...
Anya sat next to her and listened quietly, helping Fat Ding to comb her hair. This cat ate everything, but the hair was still very shiny, not like other cats. Eating salt can lead to kidney failure, etc. Fat Ding to eat almost everything, and her appetite is very good.
She was not very interested in the topic, but Anya could also listen to it. She found that her boyfriend was "extortion" and couldn't help but smile. Han Xuan was always so smart and confident in doing things, which is why she liked him.
The serious topic ended, and it took only a short time to reach an agreement with the executive officer Lao Luogan on the matter of promoting the acquisition, which made Han Xuan begin to look at the old man around him with admiration.
Ability is important, but vision is also important. It is enough to judge that the acquisition is beneficial to you in a short period of time, which is enough to show that Lao Luo is very conscious of the times and has a decisive personality.
There is never a vain lunch in the world.
Even if you throw change to beggars, from a psychological point of view, it is just an act that people use to meet their psychological needs, and to gain their own joy or comfort by helping others.
The acquisition of Time Warner Group is undoubtedly a big business. Han Xuan talked to him about his idea after the acquisition, raised his goblet in his hand with a smile on his face, and gently touched the wine glass he was holding with Lao Luogan, making a crisp sound. It took several seconds to stop.
He took a small sip of red wine and said to him with a smile: "I hope that the cooperation will be pleasant, and you will still be the CEO of Time Warner Group in the future.
In addition, your annual salary will double at that time. You should know that I don’t like reward shares. I think the salary is enough to satisfy you, and there will be dividend rights for the shares.
If I take over your group, no one in the media field will be my opponent, which will benefit us..."8)
