America's Road to Fame

Chapter 402 Equity Incentives

When the "Future" sailed into the Indian Ocean, William Chen's representative had already arrived in South Korea, and made their first offer to Hynix, which would be an overall acquisition of Hynix at a price of 100 billion US dollars. However, the debt of nearly 25 billion U.S. dollars currently borne by the other party needs to be divested.

In other words, William Chen will only pay the other party a total of 100 billion U.S. dollars if he brings the entire Hynix company under his banner. As for how their shareholders and creditors negotiate to distribute the money, he doesn't care.

It is better to be able to have foreign capital acquire Hynix at this time than to let them go bankrupt. For all Hynix employees, they can also avoid unemployment. This is what South Korea values, and The other party is the well-known super-rich William Chen, which also made them have a lot of expectations for Hynix to turn the crisis into safety, so the two sides began to conduct substantive negotiations.

The "Future" sailed out of the Gulf of Aden and entered the Indian Ocean. Unlike the last time, the journey went smoothly and did not encounter Somalia's black uncle pirates again. It seems that the escorts of various countries during this period, and The continuous fight against pirates has had some effect.

Because they spent more time together this time, William Chen was able to know more about these ten girls.

Among them, there are still many occupations they are engaged in. There are common ones such as models, students, and waiters, and there are also rare ones such as policewoman and doctor. Among them, there is a girl named Melanie who is quite interesting. According to She said that she is an internet anchor, not an amateur, but earning a living from it, relying on online rewards as income, sometimes she is a game anchor, and sometimes she sings and dances, etc. Looks like the income is not bad.

To be honest, now, Chen William, women can only be used as an adjustment for him. It is not at the beginning when everything is new and he has a huge amount of wealth. At that time, he was still addicted to female sex. I went in, but the sensory stimulation, whether it is women, food or other luxury enjoyment, is almost the same after a while, and if it continues, it is nothing more than increasing its threshold, so that the conditions required for dopamine secretion are getting higher and higher. .

Now William Chen, in addition to these enjoyments, what makes him feel more fulfilled is the sense of accomplishment that comes from his career and the realization of his ideals, just like the continuous development of his career in the United States at the beginning, and then expanded to the world, Then after buying Palu Island and turning it into Atlan Island, it was built from scratch to its own satisfaction.

However, at the current stage, William Chen's career in the United States, whether it is the Meta technology company in the Internet direction or the Meta entertainment media company in the entertainment industry, has reached a certain bottleneck. He can only wait for his own development before thinking about it. Expand its scale, it is easy to touch the antitrust investigation.

Just like Meta technology company, now there are Twitter, HOLA, Siri, PayPal, and Reddit. Although each subsidiary is in continuous development, the main reason is that the number of smartphone users is increasing, and it has not yet reached the later stage. The extent to which smart phones are fully popularized, there are still a very large number of users who are still in the process of transforming from functional phones to smart phones. This is not something his companies can decide, and they can only wait for the entire mobile Internet industry. Only by continuing to popularize and develop can their user scale reach a certain level.

Therefore, at present, it seems that these companies are not yet as large in scale and market capitalization as giants such as Google and Facebook that have begun to develop since the Internet era on the PC side, but in the future, they will definitely be on the side of Meta Technology.

In addition, Meta Entertainment Media Company is also in the same situation. For example, Netflix acquired 30th Century MGM Pictures, which is composed of [-]th Century Fox, MGM Pictures and other small film and television companies. After the merger of the companies, the film industry group has made up for its shortcomings in content production, and has obtained the content copyright of more than [-]% of the entire Hollywood film library.

So next, can you continue to acquire content production jobs?Such as other shadow companies.Of course it is possible, but there is not much room left. Even if it wants to acquire any of the other four major companies in the current top five, it will also touch the anti-monopoly review, and it will not be so easy to pass. , This is originally determined by the business rules of the United States.

Not only in film and television, but also in other music fields. Originally, EMI Music was already the result of the merger of Warner Music and EMI Music. The remaining Universal Music and Sony Music are doomed to be difficult to continue to be acquired by them. Yes, it is nothing more than that kind of small label and record company, and there is not much room left.

Therefore, whether it is Meta technology or Meta entertainment media, their foundations have been established, and the rest is to develop step by step.

This is why William Chen is going to modify the incentive plan for the executives of the Meta Group to become an equity incentive.

At any time, in any industry, there will be no shortage of smart people, such as the original Marvel Company, although most people are not optimistic about this company, but the entire Hollywood, and even the entire American investment industry, can't see it The huge superhero copyright owned by Marvel will immediately double its value once it succeeds in the movie?

Sure, Disney isn't the only one who sees Marvel's potential, but why hasn't anyone bought the company to save it?

Because even if you can see this possibility, but the ass decides the head, everyone is an operator, and they will definitely only prioritize their own interests.Suppose you are the CEO of Universal, and you also know that Marvel is likely to succeed, and it will bring great benefits to Universal...

So here comes the problem, even if the acquisition of Marvel has a great chance of success, before, not only did Universal need to spend a large sum of money for the acquisition, but it also needed to bear the high debt of Marvel, which will definitely affect the Universal's recent performance, so your annual income is linked to the company's performance and you get a share, so the gamble of acquiring Marvel, even if Marvel can succeed, will definitely affect your income in the short term for a few years .

And who knows how long it will take for Marvel's superheroes to be accepted by the public and succeed?Maybe by then you will be fired because of short-term poor performance...

So, under such circumstances, how can you expect those executives to give up short-term benefits for the sake of the company's bright future?Especially when their income is tied to the company's short-term income.

And when the method of linking the income of executives with the company's performance is changed to equity incentives, they will hold the stocks of the entire Meta Group, so they naturally hope that these stocks can continue to increase in value, so even if short-term interests are sacrificed, they can benefit the company. If it is beneficial in the long run, executives will have the motivation to do it.
