Chapter 500

Mark recalled his relationship with Scarlett. At the beginning, they were cooperative and appreciated each other. Even if there was a "hangover night", it only ended in friendship. However, during Mark's plot by Martin, mark was hesitant and afraid. At this time, Scarlett appeared beside him, which gave him great comfort. Under the precarious situation, their relationship developed by leaps and bounds, Become emotionally interdependent support.

Scarlett knows that mark is getting married, but she is addicted to his talent and ability. Now she has the crystallization of love.

If there are many people who owe, they will not have the heart to owe.

With the expansion of power and wealth, Mark's mentality has gradually changed. No matter how successful or failed he is, he can't eat three meals a day and sleep three feet. In order to distinguish success, he decided to eat the best food and sleep the hottest woman.

In the past, he has always had psychological barriers to this. Now he is at ease with all this. As a successful person, this is standard configuration. Otherwise, why is it so hard?

In order to maintain the luxurious life of scenery, it is worth working harder.

They stayed in Switzerland and accompanied Scarlett for three days to return to the United States. This is a private hospital with the nature of a resort village. Combined with the functions of the hotel and the hospital, they can receive five-star treatment here. Scarlett will stay here until she recovers.

As a reward, Mark bought a villa by the sun lake and gave it to her so that they could have a place to stay in Europe for their vacation.

Mark doesn't come to Switzerland entirely because of his children. They also have little cooperation with Bertelsmann group. Bertelsmann is responsible for the publicity and promotion of their group in Europe. They have always done a good job. They both hope to deepen this cooperative relationship.

At the same time, they also sell their shares to several European securities companies, which has always been in the charge of egger, but mark and other four giants will jointly attend the promotion meeting.

MM's shares are naturally not worried about selling, but none of the four giants have the intention to sell the original shares. They issue 7 billion class B shares without voting rights, which takes some words to sell. However, in view of MM's good financial situation, no non-performing assets and no debt, their shares are very popular. After this financing, Their scale will be expanded to 45 billion, and their cash reserves will be the first in Hollywood. Compared with the other five giants, they bear up to 40% of the debt.

Wall Street Bloomberg claimed that mm will enter the next stage of expansion, because it is very unwise to put so much cash in hand.

After mark and others returned to the United States, they also completed the negotiations of Williams construction group and will wholly acquire Williams center with us $1.2 billion. After the new year, Williams center will be renamed mm business center as the headquarters of MM group, and its major companies will settle in some branches.

Mm has officially taken root in Burbank and is far away from Warner Brothers' studio. After mm has settled the capital, he has ended the gossip that he wants to move away, and he has also ended the era of living by leasing. Now, he is no less energetic than the other five. In terms of vitality and money, mm is recognized as a rising star, the box office champion of last year and the internal champion of this year, Enough to show their strength.

This is a young, strong and powerful team full of vigor and vitality, which is no worse than Viacom and News Corporation when they rose. The industry has no doubt that they will build the fifth largest media group in beimi.

The reason why they hurried back in beimi was that they heard a rumor from Larry that gang leader Joe had a problem with his health. Now they don't have the energy to control Pixar and Pingguo at the same time.

Pixar is a masterpiece to prove his ability at the bottom of his life. Pingguo is the stage for him to realize his dreams and aspirations. Joe helped the Lord choose Pingguo.

Mm is naturally the first choice for Pixar, but if the quotation is not appropriate, the ranking will fluctuate. In Hollywood, many people are interested in Pixar, such as Disney.

Prior to this, Disney and Pixar had a cooperative relationship for more than ten years. They cooperated based on 50-50 split of investment and profit. Pixar was responsible for production and Disney was responsible for distribution. Because at the beginning of the cooperation, Disney's position is stronger, so the details of the cooperation mode are more favorable to Disney. For example, Pixar still has to pay the distribution fee to Disney. Disney has the copyright and sequel right of the story, which makes Pixar subject to Disney's decision in many aspects, which foreshadows the subsequent conflict.

At the end of this cooperative relationship, Disney's own animation creation has been very weak. On the contrary, Pixar has become the most profitable company in Hollywood, and the power of voice is reciprocal. When reopening new cooperation negotiations, Joe gang leader had a fierce conflict with Michael, Disney's CEO at that time. Pixar hopes to establish only a simple distribution agency relationship with Disney, so the investment and profits will be borne by Pixar independently. In other words, Pixar's wings are hard and he wants more control. If Disney disagrees, Pixar will choose another distribution company.

However, a series of changes took place later. Michael strongly cleaned the opposition and Pixar ran away.

Michael found that the core business of Disney group is still the production of animation. From the perspective of Disney, it needs Pixar more than Pixar needs Disney. Because Pixar and DreamWorks are the current leaders of Hollywood animation, Disney has long lost its scenery. It urgently needs content. This desire is so strong that Disney feels that if it can't reach a new cooperation mode more favorable than the old agreement with Pixar, why not just buy it?

Gang leader Joe and Michael are at odds, but others are not. Pixar has many senior executives who came from Disney or have deep feelings for Disney. Moreover, after ten years of cooperation, Disney has almost owned the copyright of all Pixar cartoons and sequels. When gang leader Joe did not disclose his intention to sell, Disney has offered to buy Pixar for $6 billion.

From the perspective of Joe gang and Pixar shareholders, the price is very affordable. Almost everyone thinks Disney is high and very sincere? The share exchange acquisition agreement made jobs, who owns more than 50% of Pixar, one of the four major shareholders of Disney, second only to Michael, Disney veteran and Ron Disney, Joey Disney's nephew, and won a seat on the board of directors of Disney. At the same time, John Serrat and other former Pixar executives and creative cores have got a good position in the new Disney Pixar Animation production framework. And in order to ensure the independence of Pixar's corporate culture, Disney has not exerted unnecessary influence on its animation production methods and human resources. Then Pixar is basically the original Pixar.

In addition, for gang leader Qiao, becoming a major shareholder of Disney will also help him play a greater role in the field of media and entertainment. Disney is a comprehensive media empire with countless business branches. The influence gained by gang leader Qiao will only expand rather than shrink. Obtaining the control of entertainment content production is undoubtedly of great positive significance to Pingguo company.

Hollywood has formed a super stable monopoly structure of six transnational media groups, which is almost unshakable. These groups not only vertically monopolize all links of film production (their monopoly degree has exceeded the blockbuster period before the 1950s), but also span all other media departments.

No matter how ambitious independent production companies are, such as carrock and Orion in the 1980s, DreamWorks and Miramax in the 1990s, or the new line rising by the Lord of the rings, they can only take turns for three or five years. None of these companies want to become a comprehensive entertainment group, but they can't do it, nor can Pixar.

As a single production company, Pixar's excellence has approached its limit. In order to further develop, it must be integrated with other links in the vertical and horizontal directions, and it is impossible to grow automatically from the existing Pixar, so merging into a group company is the best shortcut.

When mm was unhappy with Pixar because of "rat king", Disney made a move. Michael sent a lobbyist, which was actually his sworn enemy Joey. This guy has been against Michael for more than ten years. Because of his common enemy, he has a good relationship with Joe.

Michael Zhi can convince this great God because Michael was seriously ill in the middle of the year and lived for a few months. He made a retirement plan for himself. He claimed that as long as Disney established its own first-class animation department, he would retire. This has been guaranteed by the board of directors. This guy also proposed that Joey, the sworn enemy who has been against more than a dozen, should be the vice president, The meaning of a peaceful end is very obvious.

Joey recognized Michael's practice, so he came to lobby gang leader Joe. Gang leader Joe and Michael are very wrong, but what is this resentment in front of billions of big business?

Timely, gang leader Joe wanted to let go, which was a perfect match. However, after receiving the news, mark immediately made an offer to buy half of Pixar's shares with us $3.5 billion, and the rest was exchanged with mm at the market price, which means that they will dilute nearly 10% of their shares. Pixar has become the fourth largest shareholder of mm after having 3 billion cash, Other conditions are the same as Disney.

Both Disney and mm are suitable buyers with good conditions. Disney has cooperated with Pixar for more than ten years. Di tuni has a share of the copyright of Pixar's electric pictures, and the two sides are deeply entangled.

Mm is a family friend. He has had a friendship with the Ellison family for more than 20 years. He watched David and Megan grow up, just like his nephew. If he left them, he was afraid he would turn against them and end up.

Egger and mark reacted very well. Almost after receiving the news, David and Megan (Ellison) moved into Joe's mansion.
