But Swarzman thought about it, and felt that this commissioned acquisition would definitely benefit the Blackstone Group.

First of all, Xiao Qi is absolutely generous to his collaborators.

For example, in the previous acquisition of Marvel, the total transaction price was only US$4.5 billion. Xiao Qi directly gave Goldman Sachs a commission of US$500 million. I don't know how much investment banks are coveted.

Marvel is nothing. Blackstone helped Xiao Qi acquire Skype. Xiao Qi gave Blackstone a commission of 400 million US dollars for a purchase price of US$2.8 billion, which is even more enviable and hateful.

Disney is much larger than the two companies mentioned above. Not to mention the substantial increase in the purchase price, the significance is completely different.

If the Blackstone Group completes the acquisition commission, it can get a commission of 1 billion US dollars, even if it is 1.5 billion commissions, so much profit can completely stabilize the confidence of investors and prevent them from withdrawing funds. .

And if this transaction is successful, it will once again become the name of the Blackstone Group, making them once again the world's number one investment advisory company in people's eyes.

"I will discuss with Peter, and I will give you an answer within three days." Although Swarzman had a tendency in his heart for such an important matter, he still did not immediately agree.

"it is good."

Xiao Qi smiled and hung up the phone.

He knew that with the personalities of the two founders of the Blackstone Group, they would definitely take over this business.

It's not that Xiao Qi can't find other brokers, such as Citibank, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, etc., all have the ability to complete this task.

But the problem is that Disney's shares are too scattered, and many of those who own shares are rich and famous people, who usually can't use money to impress.

Xiao Qi wants to complete the entire acquisition very graciously, so he has to do it with the Blackstone Group, which is the most reputable company in the brokerage circle. When they negotiate business with others, they do not use coercive means, but use various positive methods. The positive means of making both the acquirer and the acquired party. I feel very satisfied, this reputation is very rare.

Because of the same business, if you want Goldman Sachs to talk about it, then it is likely to be bought for you. But those companies and rich people who are forced to sell their shares will swear at you, making you feel uncomfortable.

Therefore, if possible, choose the Blackstone Group. It was Xiao Qi's first choice.

And looking at the current predicament of the Blackstone Group, they really need a hearty victory to increase the confidence of the asset management trustees, so even if the acquisition of Disney shares is very difficult, they will not refuse.

Ask Xiao Qi why he was suddenly interested in Disney?

At the beginning, he just received 10% of Disney stocks and died, and gave them to his two celebrity wives. He didn't take it seriously. Why did he suddenly control it?

The reason is simple, for the Fairy Football Club.

As mentioned earlier, a football club wants to remain profitable. That is very difficult.

There are at least hundreds of well-known top league clubs in the world, but there are definitely no more than 10 profitable clubs. If you say you make a lot of money, it is probably only three or five, and these are basically in Europe and the United States, which are extremely commercial. There are also several top football clubs that are basically not likely to be profitable in Asia, South America and Africa.

The reason is that football is originally a money-burning sport, it was not aimed at making money from the beginning.

There are only very sane clubs, such as German clubs such as Bayern and Dortmund, or Manchester United clubs that have reached the pinnacle of commercial development. Only then can I say that I can make a lot of money.

It is good for the other top clubs to have meager profits. Most of them rely on the support of the backers to maintain or develop.

There are two situations.

The first is if you have a good big boss, such as Inter Milan’s Papa Mo. The boss of Milan, the chieftain of Manchester City, Mr. Abramovich of Chelsea, the rich man Xu of Evergrande... etc., they have the money themselves, so they are naturally willing to spend money to play football. Get joy or get other extras.

The other is a membership-based football club. Usually this kind of club is a local symbol. As long as there is a shortage of money, members will raise money, and the rich members will have millions or tens of millions of them without blinking. , This membership club mainly refers to the two giants of Barcelona and Real Madrid.

Especially after entering the new century, these two giants are even more prosperous, directly dumping many streets of other clubs, as if they are the representatives of the world's football giants.

Xiao Qi's choice is naturally the first method, relying on his own money to support the entire team.

However, there is a knack for how to support the team.

Just like Papa Mo, Abu and others, constantly stuffing money to fill the gaps in the fiscal deficit is just a temporary solution. If you wait until you have no money or your business is not good, it will be difficult to continue.

So Xiao Qi is going to solve this problem by doing business.

That is to find a cornucopia of continuous energy to provide nutrients to fairy football.

This cornucopia is the hundreds of acres of land around the Fairy Football Stadium, which are lined with various commercial and entertainment facilities.

In addition to movie theaters, shopping venues, hotels, etc., what is more important is that there are things that others cannot replace, such as the Disneyland that Xiao Qi is looking for now.

Disneyland in the world does not actually make as much money as everyone thinks, and it is even said that there are still many losers.

But Xiao Qi knew that this category of losing money would definitely not include China.

Hong Kong Disney has long been making profits. Let’s leave it alone. With a population of 1.5 billion in Mainland China, life has improved, with good spending power. Disney culture has swept the entire country, so Disneyland has been established in China. It is definitely a good business with steady profits and no loss.

Dongfang City saw this business opportunity, so it started negotiations with Disney early. As Disney was too strong and demanded too much, the negotiation lasted for seven or eight years. Although the groundbreaking was announced in 2011, it was not until Xiao Qi was reborn and reborn. Before coming back, there was no result. It is really sigh that the emperor's daughter really has no worries about marrying.

Xiao Qi wouldn’t think that Disney would settle down in the Fairy Football Stadium in Rongcheng for his own sake. These Americans are in the dark. If you don’t meet their requirements and don’t give them the biggest piece of cake, they won’t. Who will give face.

Although Xiao Qi now has 10% of the shares and can make proposals for construction on the board of directors, he has no way to intervene in the operations of professional managers unless he has a resolution of the board of directors to order these managers to execute.

But only 50% can be forced to order, Xiao Qi and Qiao's gang leader can only be less than 18%.

Therefore, there is only holding, and it is not a 50% holding, but an absolute holding of more than two-thirds of 67%. Only in this way can it be free from the constraints of the general meeting of shareholders at any time.

When Xiao Qi becomes the owner of Disney, then he wants to open Disneyland wherever he wants to open Disneyland, no one dares to say anything.

And as long as Disneyland is on the Fairy Football Stadium, Xiao Qi is sure that there will be 100 million visits in a year, and more than 200 million is not news.

It is conceivable how such a large flow of people will drive the surrounding business opportunities.

And Disneyland is not a small playground. You can do it in Rongcheng, I can do it in Yuzhou, and so can Longsha...... This is obviously impossible.

In order to maximize the benefits, it is impossible for Disney to open it everywhere. As far as the scope of radiation is needed, they all have strict standards, and there will never be a situation in which they compete with themselves.

According to China's national conditions, there are probably three in the mainland at most - there are only two in the United States, one in California, one in Florida, not even New York!

In fact, there are only five Disney parks in the world now, two in the United States, one in Japan, one in Paris, and one in Hong Kong.

Therefore, if three Disney parks are really built in mainland China, only the industry can be promoted by Xiao Qi himself, otherwise it is impossible to wait another 50 years.

With such a super killer as Disneyland, Chengdu’s tourist population will explode~www.readwn.com~ The biggest direct beneficiaries, of course, are around the Fairy Football Stadium, and this benefit is not three years to five years, ten years to eight years. , But it will last for a long time, at least a hundred years is safe.

Taking 100 years of prosperous surrounding commercial and entertainment facilities to support 100 years of fairy football, this kind of commercial profit support should be enough.

There are three major themed entertainment theme brands in the world, Disney, Universal Studios, Universal Carnival, of which Universal Carnival has no fixed venues, it is just a touring mobile entertainment city, and only the remaining Universal Studios is similar to Disney Theme Park.

The most important thing in Universal Studios is the major movie technology and project experience halls, such as superb Hollywood technology, such as the Harry Potter theme park, such as the Jurassic theme park, such as the Terminator theme park, etc., etc., a little popular It is not worse than Disney, even in the hearts of young people.

However, Universal Studios is an industry owned by the giant Universal. It is not a simple matter to cooperate with them. With Xiao Qi now focusing on Disney, he can only temporarily give up his thoughts on it.

As for whether to cooperate with Universal at that time, or to buy it directly, that is also a future thing! (To be continued.)
