Yu Li's childhood sweetheart and I in the courtyard

Chapter 141 Disney Got It

A week after Yu Wei and his group left New York, a tabloid in Los Angeles suddenly broke the news that Roy O. Disney was seriously ill and had begun to recuperate at home.

In the next few days, after confirming that the news was true, major newspapers in the United States began to follow up the report.

The Wall Street Journal also analyzed Disney's stock in various situations and concluded that it is not recommended to hold Disney's stock.

The stock market responds the fastest!Soon, Disney's stock price began to fall rapidly!
Various financial institutions on Wall Street have also lowered their expectations for Disney.

Phoenix Investment New York Branch and Bank of Merrill Lynch were also operating in secret, using their left hand to move their right hand, throwing and receiving the stocks sold in the market. In other words, they suppressed the stock price while absorbing the stocks sold at a low price.

Orlando Disneyland was built with a loan. At this time, the bank that gave Disney a loan to build Orlando Disneyland saw this situation and cut off the payment of subsequent loan funds.

This time the capital chain was interrupted, and the construction of Orlando Disneyland immediately stopped.

After Xu Qiang reported the situation to Yu Wei, Yu Wei urgently completed the transaction with the uncle and the opposite side of the river next month ahead of schedule on the same day, and directly chartered a flight to New York the next day.

The next day, after Yu Wei arrived in New York, he met and chatted with Xu Qiang for more than an hour, and then made an appointment with Merrill, the president of Bank of Merrill Lynch, in the presidential suite where he stayed at the Peninsula Hotel.

Yu Wei met and talked with Little Merrill for more than two hours. The most important point was to ask Little Merrill for help. At the same time, he hired several public relations companies, paid a large amount of public relations fees, and was responsible for handling various aspects of the acquisition. PR, lobbying and aftermath work.

The second is to discuss the specific plan and details of this acquisition, and make various contingency plans.

Afterwards, while keeping an eye on the acquisition, Yu Wei began to write animation scripts for The Lion King, Garfield, Toy Story, Kung Fu Panda, Frozen, Ice Age, How to Train Your Dragon, Winnie the Pooh and other animation scripts based on his past life memories. , scene setting, etc.

And several public relations companies hired by Yu Wei have also begun to exert their strength. They slandered Disney in major newspapers across the United States while creating public opinion, advocating that the rich and rich with sufficient cash should acquire Disney in order to completely solve its current predicament and solve its problems. The problem of shortage of funds, continuous blood transfusion to it, can make a comeback!
Then he listed the world's richest people who currently have sufficient cash flow, and Yu Weigao, who owns the cash cow of Phoenix Supermarket, topped the list, far ahead of No.2.

Since then, he has changed the direction of the wind, advocating that it is currently the best choice for Wei to take over Disney!He began to build momentum for Yu Wei, and introduced Yu Wei's identity as the winner of the Nuo Award, the inventor of Viagra and "Real Man", etc.

A week after Yu Wei arrived in New York, Disney finally took the initiative to invite Bank of Merrill Lynch to discuss the specific acquisition matters.

Since the current stock price is seriously undervalued, it cannot reflect the real value of Disney.

The two sides were at odds with each other, and they couldn't agree on the price. In the end, Little Merrill approached Yu Wei to discuss.

Yu Wei thought for a while, and since both sides disagreed with the valuation in the past two or three years, he proposed that, based on Disney's market value of 1966 million US dollars in 8000, Disney's market value was calculated at a compound annual growth rate of 15%, which was about 1.4 million US dollars. plan.

As soon as this plan was proposed to the other party through Merrill Lynch, Disney quickly recognized the valuation of this plan.

The two parties soon reached an agreement, and Yu Wei personally acquired Disney at a valuation of US$1.4 million.

Yu Wei also rushed to Los Angeles to sign an acquisition agreement with Disney, and the acquisition money will be paid in cash in one lump sum after the team of accountants and lawyers hired by Yu Wei checks it out.

And applied for delisting, and Bank of Merrill Lynch compulsorily repurchased shares in the secondary market at a total valuation of US$1.4 million.

At this time, on the New York Stock Exchange, there were actually not many Disney shares in circulation, and most of them had been secretly acquired by Bank of Merrill Lynch and Phoenix Investment New York Branch.

At the same time, several public relations companies lobbied hard at the same time, and Yu Wei also donated 100 million US dollars to the two parties in the United States through various channels to buy road money, asking for peace and less trouble.

Following the investigation by the team of accountants and lawyers hired by Yu Wei, no problems such as hidden debts were found.

Yu Wei immediately paid the purchase price in one lump sum according to the agreement, completing the transaction with the other party, and repurchased all the shares in the secondary market.

So far, Yu Wei wholly owned the Disney company.

Directly repay Disney's foreign debts and loans in one lump sum, transfer the company's account to the Los Angeles branch of Hang Seng Bank, and deposit 3000 million US dollars into its account.

After Barry Diller, who was recruited from the ABC TV network, arrived in Los Angeles and joined Yu Wei, Yu Wei got into the car from his villa with a lot of paper bags on the next morning, and picked up Barry Diller who was staying at the Peninsula Hotel. Diller, let's go to the Disney headquarters together.

Since Yu Wei acquired Disney wholly-owned by himself, the board of directors of Disney also ceased to exist.

Now in the company, except for the middle management, the management personnel are basically still there, and the top management has all left.

All members of the Disney family in the company, including Yu Wei, left Disney after signing a letter of commitment never to change the company name.

The resignation of all the company's top management this time is not only the intention of the other party, but also the best result that Yu Wei is happy to see.

If some high-level people are left behind, if they don't agree with each other, there will be internal friction all day in the future, and won't they have a headache?
And this time to hire Barry Diller, Yu Wei has also made it clear that his own company will basically not consider going public, but will give corresponding dividends according to the annual performance and profitability.

As the new president of Disney, Yu Wei gave him a 5% annual dividend in addition to his annual salary, which has surprised Barry Diller.

After receiving Barry Diller, the two started communicating in the car.

"Barry, I have paid off all the debts and payments of the Disney Company, and I have also transferred the company account to my own Hang Seng Bank and deposited 3000 million U.S. dollars."

"After you take office, I will only send financial personnel. I will send someone to take charge of the financial department, and you will arrange the rest yourself!"

"All the top executives of Disney have also left or cleared out! This is also convenient for you to control the overall situation and facilitate your management." Yu Wei said.

"Thank you boss for your trust. I will start working as soon as possible and resume the construction of Orlando Disneyland immediately." Barry Diller said.

Thinking of Disneyland, Yu Wei immediately thought of Xiangjiang Disneyland in his previous life and Disneyland in France.

Yu Wei thought to himself: "When we go back, we can talk to Dai Linzhi and let him grant the land on Lantau Island except the airport area to Disney for free to build Hong Kong Disneyland!"

"This area is at least more than 100 square kilometers, which is enough! It won't be like the previous life, the area is pitifully small! Xiaojiazi is very angry!"

"Residents on Lantau Island don't have to worry, they can be compensated and turned into Disney employees."

"As for the French Disneyland, which made the Disney company so happy in the previous life, let it go to hell. It is better to build it in Switzerland, Germany, or Italy than France."

Thinking of this, Yu Wei told Barry Diller about his idea of ​​building a Disneyland in Xiangjiang.

"If this large enough area next to Xiangjiang International Airport can be acquired for free and built into a paradise, it will be very beneficial to our layout in Asia." Barry Diller thought for a while and agreed.

"Barry, in addition, I own a commercial communication satellite over Asia, and a satellite TV station in Asia, the signal has covered most of Asia."

"Next, two communication satellites will be ordered. After they are launched and used, they will be able to cover the satellite communication signals of the two places in the world except the North and South Poles!"

"You may consider how to apply for the operation of a satellite TV station in the United States." Yu Wei said.

"Really? Oh, I see. It's Xiangjiang's Phoenix Satellite TV! I heard about it a while ago, and I should have thought of it!" Barry Diller said excitedly after hearing Yu Wei's words.

"Yes! It's Phoenix Satellite TV, now there are eight channels!" Yu Wei said.

"Boss, that's great! After you launch those two satellites, I will immediately apply for the establishment of satellite TV! I can handle all of these!" Barry Diller said excitedly.

"Okay, I'll talk about the specifics later." Yu Wei said.

While speaking, he arrived at the headquarters of the Disney company. After getting off the car, Yu Wei asked the bodyguards to help carry all the file bags in the car to the original Disney chairman's office.

After letting a bodyguard take care of it, all the staff at the headquarters were gathered at the entrance of the building.

"Everyone, I believe that many of you have seen me when I came here last time. That's right, I have fully acquired the Disney company that was originally precarious, crumbling, and almost bankrupt!"

"All the shares in it now belong to me alone, but the company belongs to everyone! Today I invited everyone to the new president of Disney, Mr. Barry Diller."

"In the future, I will hand over the management of Disney to him. I hope everyone will support his work!"

"In addition, you don't have to worry about unemployment. I have paid off all the foreign debts and loans of Disney, and injected another 3000 million U.S. dollars!"

Yu Wei gave a short speech to all the staff at the headquarters with a microphone at the entrance of the building.

As soon as the words fell, the crowd in front of the building cheered!You don't have to worry about unemployment anymore!The company has changed to a well-funded boss, and I feel that the future should be good!

"As a meeting ceremony, I announce that starting from this month, all employees will have a 10% salary increase!" Yu Wei announced after they quieted down.

Immediately there was another round of cheers at the scene!

After Barry Diller also gave a short inaugural speech in front of the building, Yu Wei asked him to follow him to the chairman's office.

"Barry, these file bags are full of animation movie scripts, characters, scenarios and other setting materials. This book is called The Lion King. You should read it first."

After the two sat down on the chairs, Yu Wei picked one from a pile of file bags beside him and handed it to Barry Diller and said.
