Chapter 298 Investing in ArbustoEnergy
Su Chen shook his head: "Mr. Davis, I think 6.5 million is very fair, and I don't mean to take advantage of you at all. You have also passed your own evaluation, and you must know that this price is already higher than the current market price. "

Mark Rich said: "Su, our reserve price is 7 million yuan. If it is 7 million yuan, even if Davis doesn't sign the contract, I can let him sign it."

"6.7 million." Su Chen raised the price again, and said, "6.7 million is my gift to the two of you. If the price is higher than this, I think our negotiation is meaningless."

Davis and Rich looked at each other, nodded and said, "Okay, 6.7 million."

If it wasn't for Murdoch's competition, Su Chen wouldn't need to spend so much money, at least about [-] million more than expected.

Murdoch is also bound to win 20th Century Fox. It is impossible for Su Chen to wait until he continues to disrupt the situation, so he can only spend more money to buy it.

After there is no problem with the price, under the witness of the lawyers of both parties, the documents will be signed.

From now on, the boss of 20th Century Fox will become Su Chen.

"Pleasant to work with."

Mark Rich and Marvin Davis shook hands with Su Chen in turn.

"I like how straightforward you are. I have to say, Sue, you have won our friendship."

Su Chen was grinning on his face, MMP in his heart.

After signing the contract, Bernice from Wells Fargo Bank helped Su Chen transfer the money.

After receiving the money, both Mark Rich and Marvin Davis had smiles on their faces. After all, they finally got rid of the hot potato in their hands.

A few bottles of champagne were symbolically opened to celebrate the success of the acquisition.

And simply hold a small wine party, then go back to each house and find each mother.

Su Chen was not so relaxed. Before meeting Barry Diller and Jeffrey Katzenberg, he needed to think about the next step.

If you can successfully poach these two people, you can also acquire those TV stations at the same time.

Su Chen wants to spin off 20th Century Fox, prepare to build the Fox TV network, and let Barry Diller be the president to lead the work.

Let Jeffrey Katzenberg lead the film department and the animation department.

At the same time, DreamWorks will be moved to Necker Island, all of which need to be arranged by him.

This will relieve Tang Wanru's pressure.

At the same time, it will also allow the film company to develop better, and it will probably be easier to do business in China in the future.

After all, being able to own theaters in North America at the same time is definitely a good thing for the development of the film company.

Secondly, with the support of 20th Century Fox in the United States, Hong Kong DreamWorks artists can have a platform even if they want to develop in Hollywood in the future.

And in Hong Kong, it can also compete with several major theaters for the world.

That's why he had to take out a loan to buy 20th Century Fox.

Otherwise, the little DreamWorks would have been eaten up by Golden Harvest Shaw Brothers and other companies long ago.

Now that 20th Century Fox has been purchased, the next step is to acquire the six local TV stations in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, Dallas and Washington, which are affiliated to the fourth largest TV group in the United States, Capital Media Corporation.

As long as Hugh Eaton does something in the White House to silence the White House, the next thing will be much simpler.

Hugh Eaton came to Su Chen: "Dude, congratulations on becoming the new boss of 20th Century Fox, do you want to visit 20th Century Fox?"

"No need." Su Chen shook his head: "Although it is becoming a new boss, it is very stressful. If Mr. Eaton is willing to give me a one-year interest reduction, I believe I will be very grateful to you."

Hugh Eaton shrugged: "If the bank was my own, I would be willing to give you some interest reduction, but unfortunately, this bank is not mine alone."

He went on to say: "I'm going to fly to Washington at night, you must remember what you said to me before, if the Republican Party has any public opinion that needs to be controlled..."

Before he finished speaking, Su Chen said: "Mr. Eaton, don't worry, as long as the White House can be silenced, I will do what I promised if you don't trouble me in the future under the condition of my legal business." These."

"Okay, I will pass on your words to the White House, but I think you can speed up the acquisition of several TV stations under Metropolitan Media Company. Maybe the White House has not reacted after you have completed the acquisition." Hugh Eaton said.

Su Chen was a little speechless: "Do you think it's possible?"

"It's entirely possible."

Hugh Eaton said seriously: "You have to trust our Wells Fargo team, and you can entrust this matter to Bernice and let her lead her team to operate it. You only need to pay us some handling fees. If If you don't believe me, you can ask Mr. Clara to go with you."

He went on to say: "It is completely possible to let Bernice pass now, you just need to tell Bernice the price in your heart, and she will help you arrange it. If there is no accident, maybe when you pass tomorrow, it will be fine." Documents can be signed directly.”

This method is in line with Su Chen's idea.

"In addition, I suggest that you can spend [-] million yuan to invest in a company called Arbusto Energy." Hugh Eaton said, "This will make my resistance less."

ArbustoEnergy?

Su Chen thought about it seriously. Isn't this the company of Bush Sr., his son Bush Jr., the future president of the United States, Bush Energy Company?
With an investment of [-] million yuan, it is quite good to gain the friendship of Bush Sr. and Bush Jr.

"I did this business." Su Chen said with a smile: "I believe that Mr. Eaton will not cheat me, right?"

Hugh Eaton said: "I can help you operate, but don't forget to give Miranda 5% of the shares, otherwise I will definitely tear you to pieces."

If it wasn't for Miranda's sake, Hugh Eaton probably wouldn't have given him this idea.

And it is very likely that he is not willing to give Su Chen a loan.

Su Chen said seriously: "Mr. Eaton, I love Miranda, a beautiful girl. There must be no problem with 5% of the shares."

"Since you love her, I think we should increase the proportion of shares, how about 10%?" Hugh Eaton said.

Su Chen didn't want to talk to him for a moment.

"Mr. Eaton, you can't do this...you can help me operate the [-] million investment in ArbustoEnergy. After all, I am not familiar with Washington." Su Chen said: "It would be very rude to visit rashly."

Hugh Eaton didn't continue the topic just now, and continued: "Okay, I'll go back to Washington at night. For you, I'm going to be exhausted these days. Sue, when I don't work at Wells Fargo Bank in the future, you have to let me invest some money." your estate."

"Of course there is no problem." Su Chen said with a smile.

Naturally, Hugh Eaton won't have any gains, and then he won a business for the Bush family without paying anything, and he can also control public opinion. As long as he doesn't make any mistakes in the future, his friendship with the Bush family will not be affected.

This is the power of connections.

Su Chen took the time to find Bernice and told her the purchase price of the six local TV stations in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, Dallas and Washington, which belong to Capital Media Company.

"Bernese, my psychological price is 13 billion US dollars, help me to ask how much they want, and I will go to you when I finish my work here."

Bernice nodded: "Alright, Mr. Su, let's set off now."

……

In the afternoon, under Hugh Eaton's arrangement, Su Chen met Barry Diller and Jeffrey Katzenberg, whom he had only heard of.
