Reborn Tycoon Rise

The salary negotiation was very simple. Xu Zhi offered him twice the salary of Mike Eisner’s original company Paramount. At the same time, if Disney turned a profit, he would also be given a number of bonuses. Others, such as a house and a car, would naturally be given. Matched to high standards.

For an individual, this may be a small fortune, but for a top entertainment giant like Disney, it is just a drop in the bucket. As long as Mike Eisner can manage this giant elephant well, then everything he gives will be returned a hundred times. .

On the other hand, after all, Mike Eisner is still the vice president of Paramount. Even if he wants to change his job, it will take a long time to hand over the original job.

During this period, in addition to preparing for the filming of "Beauty and the Beast", the business of other departments was required to continue normal operations as before and remained unchanged.

The end of Disney's acquisition also placed a huge stone on Xu Zhi's mind.

On August 18, Xu Zhi took a private plane and returned to Xiangjiang.

This merger and acquisition, as well as subsequent contacts with Disney executives, took more than a month.

This kind of speed is extremely rare in the history of world business. The reason is very simple. As a golden finger, Xu Zhi was determined to win Disney from the beginning. In order to prevent any accidents that would cause the acquisition to fail, he did not hesitate to do so. The acquisition was completed.

As for other commercial acquisitions, the acquiring party determines the value of the acquired party at the beginning of the acquisition, and there is no need to worry about political factors. Therefore, the acquisition is naturally prone to a long-term tug-of-war.

More than a month, whether long or short, was as fast as a roller coaster for Xu Zhi, but it was not very friendly to Xiangjiang as a whole.

The richest man in Hong Kong spent more than 2 billion US dollars to acquire a company in the United States. This naturally attracted the attention of many media in Hong Kong and a large number of ordinary people. Many rumors circulated in the market, saying that the Xu family would be naturalized in the United States and leave Hong Kong completely.

Affected by this, the Hang Seng Index once again fell below the 700 bottom line.

Several companies owned by Xu Zhi have stated in public that they have no plans to divest from Xiangjiang. However, many people obviously do not believe this explanation, and many people have accelerated their immigration as a result.

In the previous month, Xu Zhi had focused his main energy on the acquisition of Disney. Now that he has come back to his senses, he naturally has to go back and stabilize his base camp.

…

In the conference room on the third floor of Hutchison Building, hundreds of reporters have already arrived, waiting for the upcoming press conference.

In the past few years, several major companies under Xu Zhi, because Hutchison Whampoa is a listed company, have often held press conferences. The main content is generally the company's investment plan, income, development direction and other issues.

Other companies such as Evergrande and Midea are privately owned and have no obligation to release any information to the public. Therefore, there are almost no large-scale press conferences. Only occasionally when cooperating with other listed companies, representatives of Evergrande will come together. Appear.

The last time Evergrande was on camera was when the last cooperation plan with Land Carining was announced.

Today's event is held together by several major companies owned by the richest man in Xiangjiang. Executives from Midea, Evergrande, Hutchison and other companies will appear, and Xu Zhi will also come in person.

This piece of news alone attracted almost all the media in Hong Kong. Countless local newspapers and even overseas media from Japan and Southeast Asia wanted to participate. However, the review was very strict and only economic and political reporters were allowed to enter.

For the internal media in Hong Kong, only some influential economic weeklies can send people to enter. For overseas, only well-known local media companies can access.

Regarding the news involving the richest man in Hong Kong, especially the fluctuation caused by Xu Zhi's acquisition of Disney in the past month in the United States, both the left and the right have high expectations for this conference.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Zhi and his party arrived at the scene, and the press conference officially began.

There was still some "buzzing" noise at the scene, and many people were still whispering below.

"Everyone, please be quiet for a moment." Lin Wenzhou tried the microphone: "The press conference will officially begin. I will say a few words first. After I finish speaking, everyone can raise their hands to ask questions. Those who have been selected can ask a question. Thank you. Everybody cooperates.”

The reporters chatted for a few times and then fell silent. They abided by the rules of the venue, and they would fight for every opportunity to ask questions, but they would not violate the rules of the venue.

The professional quality of reporters who can interview at large-scale press conferences is relatively high. After all, once the rules are violated in such large-scale occasions, not only will the owner of this place be offended, but other large consortiums and even government press conferences in the future will not If you invite them again, the media companies behind the reporters may be affected.

Lin Wenzhou continued: "The main reason why I invite everyone to come here this time is because of a recent business merger and acquisition by my boss Xu Sheng in the United States, which has caused a lot of unnecessary misunderstandings. Therefore, I hope to use this press conference to help the media Through friends’ channels, the cause and effect of the whole matter will be announced.

Let me first give a brief introduction. The Disney Company acquired by my boss Xu Sheng this time is the largest entertainment company in the United States and even the world. Maybe many people have never been to Disneyland, but they must have seen the company’s most famous animation works. Mouse and Donald Duck etc...

Everyone here should also know that in the past year, several comic works of our Changxing Culture Company have achieved good results in the entire Asian market. However, our company has global ambitions, so we hope that through this merger and acquisition, we can use the Disney Company’s channels to further develop the company’s animation business. "

After Lin Wenzhou finished speaking, many reporters raised their arms.

"Journalist, you can ask questions." Lin Wenzhou pointed to a female reporter in the front on the left.

The female reporter stood up, took the microphone from the mobile service staff, and asked: "Lin Sheng, Xu Sheng, I am Wang Na, the economic weekly reporter of Ta Kung Pao. Regarding what Mr. Lin just said, I would like to ask:

We can understand that Changxing Culture wants to enter the European and American markets, but there are many ways to enter the market. Does it need to spend tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars to acquire a giant American company? Moreover, many Japanese comic companies have also entered the US market, but they have not acquired any companies, but only cooperated with local distribution companies.

The current situation in Xiangjiang is very clear to all discerning people. Xu Sheng, are you suspected of divestment in conducting such a cross-border acquisition at this time? "

"I'll answer this." Xu Zhi smiled and greeted, and said: "Before I answer this reporter's question, I want to tell you a little thing. In the past few months, a lake was drained of water due to the development of Tian Shui Wai. A lot of fish were found in it, I was also there at the time, and I also separated a few fish, and they were the biggest ones, about this big.”

After saying that, Xu Zhi opened his hands and gestured, leaving about half a meter of distance.

"This is the biggest fish in the lake." Xu Zhi said with a smile: "But some time ago I took a cruise ship to go fishing, but I found that any fish in the sea was much bigger. Miss Wang Na, can you tell me why?"
