New York 1988

Chapter 156 The Iron Triangle Strategy
Clearly, Sandra Bullock is off to a good start.

Next, at the presentation of the four awards, including Best Costume Design, Best Sound Editing, Best Makeup, and Best Supporting Actress, Winona Ryder, who presented the awards, would taunt even if it was Best Makeup that did not win the award. , "Why am I not included in the list of Vincent's girlfriends, I have a very deep relationship with him.

But fortunately, I didn't get involved with someone, otherwise it would be over! "

Dude, this is really a big name for spraying Fat Harvey.

It made his face stink to the extreme.

However, ABC, the broadcaster, found that it was amazing that the ratings during the broadcast were actually stable, basically between 5800 million and 6000 million. This is unbelievable in normal times, and 5000 million is not bad. .

Although this is because "Titanic" has received too many nominations, many people are concerned about whether Han Sheng can sweep everything.

"Interesting!" Even Karl Madden was happy after receiving the news.

He originally thought about stopping it, but now he just waved his hand and said calmly: "This is everyone's speech ZIYOU, why should we interfere?" Good guy, the famous double standard finally appeared.

Anyway, depending on my mood, if I'm not happy, I'll tell you to shut up. If I'm happy, you can say whatever you want, or talk ZIYOU.

After Kevin Spacey awarded Best Supporting Actress, Best Live Action Short, Best Animated Short, Best Documentary Short and Best Documentary Feature, and then, a lot of people suddenly discovered a fact.

That is the big star who presented the award, and it seems that many of them belong to the giant agency, that is to say, they are Han Sheng's people.

For example, the best documentary feature film, the two protagonists of "Men in Black", Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith. It was changed from the American Music Awards, the best rapper award in the previous article), and the singing is also very good.

Another example is Jennifer Aniston, the presenter of the Best Visual Effects Award, Jennifer Connelly, the presenter of the Best Sound Effects Award, Nicole Kidman, the presenter of the Best Editing Award, and so on.

It can be said that one-third of the guests who appeared today seem to be from the giant agency, and they are all big names, not small roles.

Soon, another one, Jennifer Lopez took the stage, and she was the intro for the Best Original Song nominee, not the presenter.Then, when it came time for the best original song award, it was Sophie Marceau.

It's a real hammer, the Giant Brokerage Company is a bull.

Uh, in other words, Han Sheng's girlfriends are very good. Now Hollywood's first-line movie contracts are basically secured by them.

"My Heart Will Go On", which was nominated as the best song, is too popular. Even in the current environment, it has sold more than 7 million copies since July last year.

Therefore, Han Sheng won the award without a doubt. Well, this is not awarded to singers, but he is also a producer.

"Thank you, thank you to the jury, this is my third award tonight!" He won the best editing and best soundtrack before, Han Sheng said with a smile: "From 95 to now, nearly two years Time, I seem to have made the movie "Titanic", fortunately, because of the hard work of all crew members, including people from my own company, and distributors such as Warner, the results are not bad, thank you everyone!"

After the best song, there are awards for the best adapted screenplay and the best original screenplay, and it is the turn of this awards ceremony, which is also the so-called climax, best actor and actress, best director and best film .

The first award was for Best Actress, which was presented by Nicolas Cage.

Milla Jovovich from "Titanic" was nominated, and Han Sheng was nominated, as well as the heroine of "Fargo" challenged by Meg Ryan, the pregnant policewoman.

For this role, she really suffered a lot. Not only did she gain weight, her face became swollen, and she changed from a sweetheart in the United States to a bloated, mediocre, but brave and fearless policewoman.
Just like in the original time and space, the heroine who starred in "Fargo" won the Oscar for Best Actress. Meg Ryan also lost her appearance, body, style, etc., coupled with her honed acting skills. , and finally won the Oscar for Best Actress.

Meg Ryan screamed excitedly, she has endured a lot of hard work this year, after she wants to gain weight, she will lose weight again, back and forth plus all kinds of torture in the ice and snow, that kind of suffering Only she knows.

If Han Sheng hadn't given her the confidence to say that hard work would pay off, she would have given up long ago.

At this time, he was holding Han Sheng and crying, and it took a while before he came to the stage happily.

"Bitch!" Nicole Kidman next to her was obviously envious and hated. Who wouldn't want to be the best actress? That honor is too enticing.

Therefore, even if everyone usually plays together, Nicole Kidman is envious and jealous at this time.

Han Sheng laughed, "If you can work hard like her, I can consider writing a book for you!"

Nicole Kidman immediately hesitated.

It's really that she is living a beautiful life now, she doesn't have to worry about film appointments, and she can get all kinds of huge returns from various company investments. It really doesn't take too much money.

When she was visiting the class again, she saw Meg Ryan being tortured. At that time, Meg Ryan hugged her and cried for a long time, and now thinking about it, she was a little scared.

Thumped him hard, "Can't you win the prize without suffering?"

Han Sheng laughed, "Okay, then you should hone your acting skills more?"

The problem is, it's a bit of a stretch for Nicole Kidman.

Well, probably not much worse than climbing to the sky.

Let her show off her beauty, show off her figure and long legs, and even play crazy with him, she can do it, the only thing about acting is too difficult.

Twist his flesh and pinch him, "Who do you look down on, I will ignore you if you do this again!"

"You are sure to ignore me!" Han Sheng deliberately teased her, and whispered softly while biting her ear: "Then let's forget about the carnival tonight, or you can just watch from the sidelines!"

"Bah, that's rare!" Nicole Kidman saw that the camera didn't shoot this side, so she boldly pinched his focus, and when she saw his teeth bared, she giggled triumphantly, "When will I snap you?" Wipe it off, no one wants to use it!"

"Then you are finished," Han Sheng laughed.

"Oh, everyone will be finished by then anyway," Nicole Kidman raised her eyebrows, and then he deliberately teased her twice on the skirt wearing a high slit, good guy, it's amazing.

I didn't dare to provoke him anymore, so I slapped him, "Damn it, my skirt is very see-through...!" It would be a shame if it leaked at that time.

The two were chattering, and Meg Ryan finally finished her thank you speech emotionally, and then went to the backstage to be interviewed by reporters.

On the stage, the best actor awards began.

In the original time and space, Xiao Lizi didn't get nominated for best actor, but Han Sheng got it, and the popularity was very high.

Competing with him is Tom Cruise from "Mr. Sweetheart".

According to Tom Cruise, this is too unfortunate, but the most popular is not Han Sheng, but Geoffrey Rush, the evil guy who later played the captain of the Black Pearl in "Pirates of the Caribbean".

Then of course there was Ralph, the star of The English Patient.

The award presenter was Susan Sarandon, who won the Best Actress last year with "Dead Walk". This is a really good acting school.

She's funny, though, rather than stern-faced and academic.

"Um, Vincent, I saw your name again, Tom, do you hate him? To be honest, if I were me, I would definitely hate him, even if the reason might not be him, but, uh, Mr. Karmaden ...!"

The audience roared with laughter. Brother Cruise spread his hands when the camera swept over him, and then grabbed Han Sheng's neck with his arms.

Han Sheng stuck out his tongue very cooperatively, and then patted the table to admit defeat and let me go quickly.

The big guys are even more cheerful, especially those who watch TV, especially those two factions of fans who are torn apart by Cruise and Han Sheng.

It seems that the relationship is so good, it seems unnecessary to tear it up.

What's more, can tearing change the result?

It was in this atmosphere that Susan Sarandon announced the winning results.

"Congratulations, "Titanic", Vincent Han, congratulations, Tom, you can really pinch him, anyway, I want to pinch him now.!"

After the joke, Han Sheng cheerfully came to the stage to accept the award.

However, this time he received the award quite well.

It wasn't until he won the best director and best picture consecutively that he yelled out the famous phrase "I am the king of the world", instead of shouting when he was the best director like in the original time and space.

On the second day, the major media, including the "New York Times", used the headline "I am the king of the world" tacitly, and then matched a picture of Han Sheng holding up the trophy in high spirits.

As for the evaluation, there are praises and derogations. The derogatory ones say he is arrogant, while the positive ones say he is just a true temperament, which doesn't mean too much.

But back to the scene at that time, after Han Sheng shouted this sentence after everyone stood up, not many people actually cared.
Because most people think that he is just simply excited. After all, whoever made a movie that got 20 billion box office and got 13 nominations out of [-] times will be excited.

What's more, even though Han Sheng is rich, anyone who knows him knows that he is not that arrogant guy, but very humble.

Being a celebrity, that's it, being put in front of countless people by the media, being judged by all kinds of people, it is inevitable to do this business.

Therefore, Han Sheng doesn't care at all, or if he cares, he just buys more media resources, then builds more network media resources, and slowly grasps the right to speak.

Once the award has been won, it has become a thing of the past. If you want to miss those, wait until you get older. For now, you still have to go ahead and move forward crazily.

After the award ceremony, after going crazy with Nicole Kidman and the others for a while, Han Sheng once again devoted himself to the company's plan for the new year.

The first part of Li Guohao's "John Well" has been filmed, and it will be released in the summer. Then, after Han Sheng considered him giving him a rest, he devoted himself to the filming of "The Matrix".

While thinking about it, Murphy came over and said that Peter Jackson had arrived.

"Let him in!" Han Sheng nodded.

"Hello, Mr. Han," Peter Jackson used the most formal address, firstly because he met Han Sheng for the first time, and secondly, because Han Sheng had a high status.

"Don't be restrained, sit down!" Han Sheng motioned him to sit down, asked Murphy to arrange someone to pour coffee for him, and said, "I heard that you are very interested in the adaptation of "The Lord of the Rings"?"

"Yes," Peter Jackson said excitedly: "I have already sent many invitations to Beyond Entertainment, and I have also written several production plans and the like, including the idea of ​​adaptation...!"

"I saw it," Han Sheng took out the script he wrote himself, "This is the script I adapted, you can take it back and have a look, and then, make a detailed shooting plan for me, uh, if I am satisfied, you I can be a producer...!"

"Okay, okay, thank you, thank you!" Peter Jackson was overjoyed. Hollywood knew that if Han Sheng let the director be the producer, he would only take care of the finances and basically let go of other things. That would be the most free.

"Don't thank me in a hurry, if you can't, then you have no chance," Han Sheng said, "So, you must think carefully and carefully!"

"I know," Peter Jackson said solemnly.

The copyright of "The Lord of the Rings" was obtained seven years ago, and it is only now being developed.

Another self-written copyright, the "Harry Potter" series, should also be prepared. This kind of drama similar to ancient costumes takes a lot of time to prepare. The big brother in the original time and space also started preparations in 97.

"You get someone to call Chris Columbus," Han Sheng told Murphy.

This guy is the director and producer of the "Home Alone" series that he has worked with before. In the original time and space, he is also the director of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone".

"Uh, if I remember correctly, he happened to have a project in his hand called "Escape from Christmas"!" Murphy shrugged, "Because of the success of the "Home Alone" series, he is quite popular now, Columbia this time Give him a budget of 6000 million, let him be the producer and director, and take full responsibility...!"

Han Sheng laughed, "That's it, it's okay, you should contact him first!"

Murphy nodded.

Not long after she turned and went out, Nicole Kidman came again.

Still holding a small book in his hand, "You wrote this, why didn't I know, you didn't develop a press conference?"

What she has in her hand is "The Moments". In the original time and space, she won the Oscar queen for the movie adapted from this novel.

Han Sheng glanced at it casually and smiled, "I have published a lot of novels, but you rarely paid attention to it, and this one won the Pulitzer Prize. There were a lot of news at that time, it seems that you didn't pay attention to it. Me!"

"How else should I pay attention to you?" Nicole Kidman sat on his lap and smiled affectionately: "The problem is, I'd rather be with you every day. Do you have time, villain!"

"I want to fool you." Han Sheng patted her small butt angrily, "I heard that you are very interested in Silicon Valley companies recently, and you often hang around there, and you often watch technology-related movies. newspaper!"

"I want to make money, can't I?" Nicole Kidman said coquettishly.

"It's okay, but I don't want to see you being cheated like a fool. Do you know that someone over there says you are a fool with a lot of money?" Han Sheng said helplessly.

Since he has made a lot of money in Silicon Valley, including Tom Hanks, Tom Cruise, and even Spielberg have joined in the fun.

Good guy, I really hate that Silicon Valley has no place to find Kaizi.

Although that place is known as the Holy Land of Science and Technology, there are a few real moneymakers, and most of them are finished soon.

Just looking at the jealousy of those who succeeded, but didn't see the cruelty behind it, it would be really stupid.

What's more, those who were successful were basically occupied by him in advance, and the remaining ones were even less successful.

Seeing her pouted, "Don't be greedy, your current wealth is enough for your ten lifetime expenses, aren't you satisfied!"

"I just want to give it a try." How can people be satisfied, the richer they are, the more they want more money, and how can Nicole Kidman be an exception.

What's more, I don't know it's her.

"Whatever," Han Sheng shrugged, "Anyway, I reminded you, don't come to me if you lose money!"

"I'm looking for you," Nicole Kidman said coquettishly, "You are my man. If I don't look for you, I will find someone else. You should be in charge of me for the rest of my life, and I will definitely eat you!"

Then, smiling and leaning against his ear, "I'll eat you now!"

That is to say, come right away, and then go crazy on the spot.

Beautiful and comfortable, she lazily lay on him, holding the novel just now, "I really like this book, please help me to adapt it!"

"Not going to Silicon Valley anymore!" Han Sheng laughed.

"Damn it, I was scammed by those bastards for tens of millions. I almost asked your security company to catch them all and throw them all into the San Francisco Bay to feed the sharks!" It seems that she really gave up. , so angry.

Those words just now are the last stubbornness.

"1000 million, 1000 million, I don't care, you have to accompany me!"

"Now you have one hundred ten million, right?" Han Shengle said, "Besides, these wealth are still skyrocketing. There will probably be two hundred, three hundred, or even five hundred one million soon!"

"Cheese, really!" Nicole Kidman was overjoyed, got up, showed her enchanting body in front of him, and then served him hard, just to get the most accurate and reassuring answer.

"Why did I lie to you?" Now is the era of the crazy expansion of the Internet bubble. This year, next year, and the year after that, it will not start to show signs of collapse until 1999, and then completely collapse in 2000.

Then, in the past three years, as long as it is related to the Internet, the market value of so-called high-tech companies has skyrocketed. It is trivial to increase by three or five times.

And Nicole Kidman and the others have stocks such as Yahoo in their hands, and in 98 and 99 it happened to be the lifting of the ban, so they can cash out.

At that time, sell it quickly, and buy it later when it falls back, or don't buy anything else. In short, the stock price at that time must be crazy, and then the little money she wants is not a problem at all.

It's just that Han Sheng hasn't told her about cashing out yet.

It's too early, and it's not good if you accidentally say something wrong.

……

After having a general plan for the films and records to be completed this year, the remaining thing is the acquisition. In addition to the acquisition of PolyGram, there is also the acquisition of CBS.

CBS is his enemy, but as long as he has enough money, he can still kneel down and call him dad. In the world of capitalist vampires, it's that simple.

In early May, Han Sheng received a call from Hoffman.

When we got to his house, there was another guy, Melvin, the co-founder and president of Infinity Broadcasting.

With Hoffman's matchmaking, he was preparing to acquire the other party's Infinity Broadcasting Company. The reason why he asked Hoffman to be a matchmaker was because the other party was also Jewish.

In the original time and space, this guy was going to be sold to CBS.

"50 billion knives, this is the final price, I believe that Westinghouse Electric will not bid higher than me," Han Sheng said briefly, "Then, you will still be in charge of this company, and then start Preparations for the acquisition of CBS!"

"Westinghouse Electric won't sell!" Melvin shrugged, "You should have heard that I thought about buying CBS two years ago, but the chairman of Westinghouse Electric rejected the plan and wanted to buy us instead. !"

"That's because you didn't give enough money," Hoffman joked next to him. "If you said you would give 100 billion dollars, he would definitely kneel down. Oh, sorry, you can't come up with 100 billion dollars!"

Han Sheng laughed, and Melvin didn't feel embarrassed, just laughed, "CBS is not worth that much money?" He didn't doubt Han Sheng's ability to pay. Kneeling down and begging him for a loan is very simple, he has a lot of wealth in his name, and he is not afraid of not being able to pay it back at all.

And this tens of billions of loans, even if there is only the minimum loan interest rate of 7 points per year, is still an income of 7 million knives a year. For these vampires, that is a huge sum of money.
There is nothing wrong with kneeling down and calling Dad.

What's more, Han Sheng may have so much cash. After these listings, he has at least 300 billion cash flow in various companies.

Even if it costs tens of billions to acquire PolyGram, there are still many, many.

I couldn't help being a little envious of Han Sheng, so let's smash it, "The changes in this era are really fast. Who would have thought that an Internet company that doesn't make money can easily have a market value of tens of billions or even hundreds of billions!"

Han Shengyile, "Yahoo is still losing money every year, and now its market value is almost 800 billion!"

Hoffman laughed loudly, and patted Melvin on the shoulder, "So, keep up with the rhythm of young people, and listen to their opinions more!"

Melvin shrugged, "Vincent offered a very high price, and he valued me so much. We are still clan members, so I have no reason to refuse!"

Of course, it was after a long negotiation between the two parties that he was so forthright.

Then he said: "Since you let me be the CEO, then, I think we have to expand rapidly, which may require more money,"

Last year's "Telecommunications Act" was released, which relaxed the ownership of broadcasting stations. Infinity Broadcasting Corporation has expanded from 22 stations to 75 stations now, including Los Angeles, Washington, Chicago, Houston, Boston, Philadelphia, New York, the Bay Area and other big cities have layouts, and they are currently the top five radio station networks in the United States.

Han Sheng is very supportive of the opponent's idea of ​​continuing to expand.

In the 90s, all walks of life in the United States were in a period of crazy expansion. From oil and military industry, to media broadcasting, to various clothing, shoes and hats, etc., mergers and acquisitions emerged in endlessly.

As long as he completes the original accumulation frantically at this stage, then he can grow rapidly and lay a solid and powerful foundation.

"You can continue walking at your current pace, and I will fully support you," Han Sheng then said, "What do you think of CBS?"

"I just said, it's not worth 100 billion!"

Although Melvin said he was disgusted, he was obviously very excited about the acquisition.

"Well, in 93, after it was boycotted during the conflict with you, what's even more frightening is that it quickly lost the rights to broadcast the two major football leagues. This is the most frightening thing, you know, Rugby is undoubtedly the number one in our country, and everyone, young and old, likes it.

Because of this, it lost countless viewers, and then he was stepped on by ABC and NBC, and he has been unable to turn over until now. "

Han Sheng shrugged, "I heard that they are already negotiating with the rugby union. This year is unlikely, but next year may not be possible. Once they come back, there will still be promotion!"

"So you think this year is the best opportunity!" Melvin expressed his understanding, "However, since negotiations have started, there are expectations, so Westinghouse Electric will definitely have high expectations, so we have to What we have to do is to destroy this expectation first...!"

"We can't stop them from negotiating with the NFL!" Han Sheng frowned.

Hoffman smiled at this time, "It's still a matter of paying more. Remember how Fox TV snatched the NFL TV rights from CBS."

Han Sheng nodded.

In 93, Fox TV directly bid 15.8 billion knives for NFC's TV broadcast rights, which was more than five times higher than CBS's 2.9 million.

Others say that Fox TV is crazy, but looking at it now, five times more is worth it.

So, why not throw money at it.

The simplest reason is that if CBS wins the broadcast rights, the purchase price will definitely be at least 50 billion more, so why not just throw 10 billion knives or something to disrupt this negotiation.

Well, not only has the purchase price been lowered, but it can also be used to boost the ratings of CBS after the acquisition of CBS, which kills two birds with one stone.

Han Sheng laughed, it really was sinister.

But he likes it.

"Then let's do this, I won't show up, Melvin, you are fully responsible on my behalf!"

Melvin laughed, "If you make a move, the people at CBS will definitely call you an enemy. If you don't say it or sell it, you will definitely have to pay more!"

If it is necessary to increase the money, Han Sheng is not afraid, but it is better not to spend it if he can avoid wasting money.

"Vincent's crazy acquisition plan, when the chaebol is in progress!" - "New York Times" sudden article, all of a sudden exposed news that he was in contact with Polygram, Infinity Broadcasting Company and even CBS .

Know it.

Han Sheng didn't care at all, but went to Boston to see old Harris.

Old Harris is over 80, but he is in good spirits, even better than when Han Sheng first met him. The reason is simple. He listened to Han Sheng's advice and various maintenance reasons.

Not to mention, Han Sheng's current wealth.

Therefore, it is quite polite for old Harris to see him now.

"The New York Times news was posted by someone," said the old Harris. "Your large-scale acquisition of media and military enterprises still scares many people, or some people just can't see that you are really powerful and invincible." To the point of rivalry, they may still be waiting for the opportunity, waiting for the idea of ​​directly overthrowing you and embezzling all your assets!"

Han Sheng shrugged, "It's normal. As you said, no one has no enemies. Then, the only way is to make yourself so strong that people dare not covet you!"

The media, finance and military industry, the three are the powerful foundation for the chaebols to stand on, and they are also the iron triangle that can disdain everyone and make everyone dare not covet it casually.

In terms of media, after he acquired Infinity Broadcasting Company and then coveted CBS, it is probably almost the same. These are just TV and radio. In terms of print media, the Los Angeles Times and others are also in contact, and then, Yahoo and other networks The media is already in hand.

There will be Facebook, Twitter, etc. in the future. In short, this is his media plan.

Then finance, uh, only banks and investment banks, and then the board of directors of the Federal Reserve.

As for the banks, they won't have a chance until 08. Now they can only buy some small local banks, so there is no rush.

Then there's the military.

In terms of existing operations, he had Bald Eagle Security, and then bought the privately held Bath Iron Works shipyard in Bath, Maine, for $3.5 million.

What is produced here are naval surface ships, such as guided missile destroyers and the like.

Then it bought NASCO (formerly National Steel and Shipbuilding Corporation) for $4.5 million, which produces naval auxiliary and support ships, as well as merchant ships eligible for the US flag under the Jones Act.

He then also bought Chrysler's defense division for $4 million, which is now a major supplier of all types of armored vehicles, from the M1, to the LAV25, and various vehicles based on those chassis.

Now, his target is McDonnell Douglas, McDonnell Douglas, the most famous products are DC-10 airliner, F-15 Eagle air superiority fighter, MD-80 airliner and F/A-18 Hornet multirole Fighter etc.

Um, well, he still has to compete with broadcasting companies.

The broadcasting company also focused on McDonnell Douglas, and then offered 100 billion knives, of course, not in cash, but in the form of cash plus merger and share exchange.

"Are you sure you want to pay 150 billion knives?" Even if it wasn't his own money, the old Harris felt a pain in his heart, and suddenly raised half the price, but the half was 50 billion knives.

Han Sheng nodded without hesitation. Having a lot of money is a good thing, but you have to be able to keep it. Now he finds more and more that relying on others is not enough, and he must hold everything in his hands.

That's why he acted like he was being taken advantage of.

It doesn't matter, anyway, he will definitely be worth several trillion yuan in the future, and there is no problem with billions more.

Happy old Harris, to be honest, without Victoria's relationship, he would not have seen Han Sheng grow stronger. However, with this relationship, it would be different. It would be equivalent to being an ally of the Harris family, or even one of them. of.

Then, the stronger Han Sheng is, the more benefits the Harris family can get.

So, "I'm not very familiar with McDonnell, but you can go to old George, he has connections,"

After a pause, his eyes suddenly lit up, "You are not afraid to send money, I will give you a super bold plan, that is Lockheed Martin and Rossrop Grumman, you may not have received the wind, but, these two companies have plans to merge...!"

Han Sheng has heard of it, but it seems to have failed in the original time and space.

The reason? It is said that Congress feels that once the merger is completed, the two companies will have 25% of the military contracts, so it is not good.

Han Sheng thinks this is nonsense. If he remembers correctly, after Little George became the commander-in-chief, Lockheed Martin expanded wildly, let alone 25%, and more than 30.00%.

Become the top leader of the Ministry of Defense.

However, the big guys behind these two companies will definitely not sell them.

For example, the Harris family has shares in Lockheed Martin. No matter how much money is given, the old Harris will not sell it. Well, of course he can't give it too absurdly, such as one trillion or something.

So, he didn't think about it.

Old Harris smiled slightly, "There must be a lot of people who won't sell, but there must be some who sell. Like you, buy those who are willing to sell first, buy from both companies, buy enough, or make a mandatory offer Acquisition, or else, you can get involved and let the two companies merge, and then, through various means, even if you don't have an absolute controlling stake, you can still get real control... "

Han Sheng laughed, "That means the Harris family has gained control of the merged company!"

"Son, don't think so," Old Harris smiled and shook his head, "You don't need to be too wary of me, although you may need my shares by then!"

"What about a mandatory tender offer?" Han Sheng thought for a while and said.

"This is also one of the methods." Old Harris nodded, but shook his head again, "That would be too sharp, even if you are willing to spend money, you will offend many people, but if you are willing to spend money, you will be Let most people stay, and then everyone becomes a group, a family, or at least a union of interests, then, what do you think, the result will be better!"

He also glanced at him, "Everyone likes to control everything, but you are not enough now, so just be patient, even if you wait a few more years, you are only 30 years old!"

This is indeed an old saying.

After thinking about it, "How much will it cost?"

He remembered that when Rossrop Grumman was preparing to merge with Lockheed Martin next year, the valuation was $83 billion, while Lockheed Martin was valued at $110 billion.Well, you read that right, it's that cheap.

Even 30 years later, Lockheed Martin has become the number one military industry leader, and its stock price has increased tenfold, and it is only in the early 1000 billion dollars.

However, the market value can't explain the problem. If you really want to do it, Lockheed Martin is very powerful. Whether it is various aircraft missiles or other weapons, it is so powerful that it explodes.

In the same way, Rothrop Grumman also has all kinds.

In short, after taking it down, plus the various shipbuilding companies he bought before, it really has everything from the sea to the land, to the air, and to space, plus the Bald Eagle Security Company, military industry and force. Even one piece is alive.

"At least 100 billion knives!" Old Harris said after thinking about it.

Although the combined market value of the two companies is less than 200 billion, and he still can't get a controlling stake, it may be about 30.00%, which can initiate a mandatory tender offer, but it costs 100 billion dollars.

Han Sheng felt that it was very cheap.

After winning the two companies and merging them together, he has military wages, and he has plenty of money.

Therefore, I didn't say too much to my own people like old Harris, "Well, I will let Victoria take charge of this side and McDonnell's side, and I will handle it myself!"

"1000 Billion Acquisition, Vincent's Century Ambition?" The New York Times headline came again.

They don't have any real hammers, but they are all kinds of nonsense.

"Vincent is obviously a little uneasy, or he needs more powerful force to protect himself, so he took a fancy to McDonnell Douglas and directly paid a sky-high price of 200 billion knives, and then he also wanted to acquire a competitor broadcasting The company directly spent 300 billion knives, and after that, he set his sights on Raytheon. According to insiders, he did not intend to counter-offer, but still agreed at 250 billion knives.

Then, Lockheed Martin, he also directly smashed 300 billion knives.

Cheese, he is really rich. Although he spent 1000 billion dollars to go out, it only accounts for about one-third of his wealth.

Even, in a few days, maybe a quarter, a fifth.

After all, the stock prices of the technology companies in his hands are soaring crazily.

Many people say that this is a bubble, that some companies that do not make money at all, or even lose money, should not have such a high market value.

However, this didn't affect him even a little bit, instead it made everyone enthusiastically chasing his company.

This, perhaps, is his charm, he still looks invincible. "

Raytheon and broadcasting, Han Sheng didn't think about it at all. It's not that he was afraid of spending money, but that many things cannot be bought with money. It's very simple. Behind these two companies are the Rossev family and Petroleum Trust. family etc.

These families are not short of money, so, after controlling it, how can they let it go.

However, Han Sheng was more than happy to stir up trouble.
