My Age of Investment

   Chapter 1066 But you are Chinese

  As soon as Abel left with his front foot, Xia Jingxing received a call from Pamut on his back foot. The other party seemed to be a little emotional, and the tone of his speech was harsh.

  "Daren, do you know? The working group dispatched by CFIUS has arrived at Marvel! Do you have anything you want to tell me now?"

   "Oh, we are here too, check this and that, it looks like it's going to be a long time."

   Seeing Xia Jingxing’s reaction so calmly, Parmut, who came to Xingshi to question his sins, could not sit still, and his words began to become intense.

  "Daren, you don’t seem to be anxious at all. What if CFIUS does not allow the transaction between our two companies to go through?

  According to the agreement, you need to send us the first purchase payment within seven working days from the date of signing the agreement. "

   "Mr. Parmut, in view of the unexpected occurrence of CFIUS intervention, I suggest that we postpone the acquisition for a period of time."

  "Daren, what do you mean? Do you want to abandon the acquisition of Marvel?"

  Speaking of this, Pamut’s tone became even more excited, “Dalun, if you insist on doing this, according to the content of the agreement, we can sue you for breach of contract and make a claim against you.

  Although everyone is their own, if you do not have the spirit of contract and do not abide by the commercial agreement, I cannot convince the angry board of directors. "

  Xia Jingxing smiled, "Mr. Parmut, you think this thing is too simple."

"Simple?"

"right!"

  Xia Jingxing started the Fudge Dafa, "Have you ever thought, when has the work efficiency of the CFIUS guys become so efficient? Someone must be pushing behind us to disrupt the transaction between us.

  Whoever makes the most profit in this matter is the one behind the scenes! "

  Pamute thought about Xia Jingxing's words repeatedly, feeling a little bit reasonable.

  "Are you saying that Disney is instructing behind?"

Xia Jingxing did not admit or deny. Pamute liked to think and think. In short, he had to make this old Jewish man who likes to jump horizontally limped today, and let him stand in the same boat with himself, lest the old man be persuaded by other forces. , Or the old man thinks and messes around by himself.

   “If the transaction is disrupted, Marvel’s valuation will surely be greatly reduced, or even fall into a more unfavorable public opinion environment.”

Upon hearing "valuation reduction", Pamut immediately retorted subconsciously: "Not necessarily. Since one of the six major film companies has worked so hard, then they must have swallowed Marvel. idea."

  "They really want to swallow Marvel, but they are not buying Marvel at the price of US$3.4 billion we offered. They are playing with the idea of ​​picking up the bargain."

  Xia Jingxing said coldly: "Have you noticed some reports? They aimed directly at the upcoming "Iron Man".

  If the American people are incited by public opinion to boycott "Iron Man", the box office of the first Marvel film will fall short of expectations.

  At the same time, CFIUS has vetoed Marvel’s deal, so what will be the ending waiting for Marvel? "

   Listening to Xia Jingxing’s analysis, Parmut took a breath. If things develop as described by the other party, then Marvel can really only sell to six major film companies, and the price will be as cheap as cabbage.

  This is indeed like the six masterpieces! Spicy enough! Sinister enough!

  Pamut’s impression of the Big Six film companies has not been very good. He always feels that these guys are too greedy. Around the role licensing fees, film distribution fees, etc., he has been tortured with the Big Six people.

  In contrast, Envision Capital and Xia Jingxing are their own people and they never care about it.

  Thinking of this, all the little nine in Pamute’s mind were gone. He began to seriously chat with Xia Jingxing about how to deal with the review from CFIUS and make the transaction complete successfully.

  From his perspective, successfully completing the transaction with Vision Capital is undoubtedly the best choice for his personal interests. At the same time, there is no need to worry about the calculations of the six major film companies and completely escape this increasingly muddy quagmire.

  Xia Jingxing replied: “You don’t need to worry about CFIUS. You only need to work with them. At the same time, you need to calm down the interior and ensure the normal development of work and the normal release of movies.”

  "Dalun, we are our own people. I can assure you that when you take over, Marvel's internal management must be in order, and it will never be a bad mess."

  A smile appeared at the corner of Xia Jingxing’s mouth, and the old man did not dare to play any tricks. In case the transaction could not be completed smoothly, Marvel’s life had to go on, the old man should not do anything to harm his own interests.

  What he really worries about is that the old man’s eyelids are too shallow, and he was persuaded by other forces to change his mind and sell Marvel to other companies.

  However, I believe that after his flicker, the old man should be suspicious of the six major film companies. In the face of the greater benefits he promised, the old man should not easily be tempted by the conditions offered by others.

  As long as the CFIUS review passes smoothly, all these problems are not a problem.

  In the final analysis, the review has to be passed smoothly, otherwise no amount of effort will be in vain.

  Hung up Parmut’s phone, Xia Jingxing began to think about Abel’s actions.

  Can the other party successfully persuade the fund LP during this trip?

  The acquisition of Marvel is not a matter of an agency of Envision Capital. They are just standing in front of the stage and replacing many hidden LPs behind the scenes to make money.

  Now that the acquisition has encountered resistance, and it is still from the political level, it is time for these LPs to work hard, otherwise everyone will share the luggage together!

  Thinking of this, Xia Jingxing's thoughts were instantly understood, and he started to deal with the work at hand like an okay person.

  In the evening, Liu Xiaoduo suddenly knocked on the door and walked into the office, reminding: "Ms. Xia, Ms. Cuixi wants to see you."

  Xia Jingxing got up quickly and followed Liu Xiaoduo to the meeting room.

  The documents on the table in the conference room are piled up like a mountain, one by one, neatly piled.

  Several CFIUS staff have a tired look, and they seem to be busy all day, but they are also very tired.

Seeing Xia Jingxing coming, the tired-looking Traixiqiang cheered up and greeted, "Dalun, we have roughly reviewed these materials. All the LPs of the Autumn Equinox Fund are investors from the United States, right? Marvel's funds also come from the Autumn Equinox Fund?"

  Xia Jingxing nodded, “Of course, Envision Capital has a good business reputation in the United States, and foundations such as universities, civil servants, and teachers are willing to give us money.

  The exaggerated headline "The Chinese bought Marvel" in the outside media is pure nonsense.

  I hope that Ms. Tracy, you will complete the review as soon as possible, and at the same time help us clarify and dispel these rumors. "

  Tracey shook her head slightly, "Sorry, we are just a censorship agency, not a media. We don't have the functions in this area and cannot help you.

  In addition, the review work can last up to 90 days, and even individual projects will be submitted to the White House, and the general leader will personally complete the review and approval.

  So, it is far from being the end of the review, please understand. "

  Xia Jingxing smiled and said: “As far as I know, the CFIUS investigation mainly includes two aspects: First, whether the project's US assets themselves pose a risk to national security;

  Second, whether the foreign investor in the project poses a risk to national security, including whether it is controlled by a foreign government, whether it is from a dangerous country, or whether it has a history of threats to the national security of the United States, etc.

  Marvel and Vision Capital don’t meet any of them, right?

  Iron Man sells arms only in comics and movies. Captain America even helped the United States win World War II. Can't these be a threat to national security, right?

  Vision Capital’s investors are all Americans and American institutions, and it is not enough to be a security risk, right? "

  Looking at the face of a few cups of coffee, Tracy decided to say a few more words: "But you are Chinese! If you are not a Chinese, but an American, CFIUS will not intervene at all."

  Xia Jingxing smiled and said, "Okay, I see, how do we need to cooperate next?"

  Trixi smiled and said, "Wait for our notice."

  Waiting for the notice of Nima, Xia Jingxing immediately cursed in her heart, but she still sent away Tracy and his party with a smile.
