Chapter 460

If we can complete the layout of AMC cinema in the United States and Oudin cinema in the United Kingdom, it will undoubtedly be easy to complete the layout of the international layout, which will form the first intercontinental global cinema line, become the world's largest cinema operator with absolute advantages, and gain the discourse power of the world film industry.

In that case, although he is a "latecomer" in the world film industry, he can play the role of "careerist" rapidly. To dominate the two major film markets in North America and Europe, Arthur will not only have a dream, but also an offensive strategy in the acquisition of a Chinese cinema.

More importantly, Arthur also has a long-term strategy to develop the film industry. He is not making short-term investment, but wants to create greater value through long-term operation.

To tell you the truth, now that the global film market is basically dominated by several major American companies, it is time to change this pattern. Of course, Arthur needs to change it bit by bit.

"Looking back on the 100 year history of the world film industry, the United States controlled the world film market as early as the beginning of the 20th century, and Hollywood film industry is the most developed one in the world film industry.

In the past, only the six major Hollywood studios in the United States had the ability to distribute films globally. Now, I want to have the voice and influence of the world film industry by mastering the terminal channel.

The acquisition of AMC cinema in the United States is my first step in challenging the voice of the world. In order to swallow the largest cinema line in Europe, I will truly establish my position as a new leader in the world film industry. "

Arthur closed his papers, his mouth slightly raised, a confident and indifferent smile on his face, looked at the people at the opposite bank and said in a truthful tone.

The representatives of the bank did not disdain or despise Arthur's slightly arrogant words. When they received the task, they had already understood in detail the information sent to them by the headquarters about the young and shameful countess in front of them.

How can we underestimate Arthur's rising speed, capital operation and success? What's more, the cooperation between the two sides is very deep. The London headquarters of the bank is very optimistic about the young earl's future, and has spent a lot of money to support him, so that he can eat meat and drink soup with each other for a long time.

"To control the cinema is to have the right to speak at the end of the film industry. In addition, it will have a scope economy effect, which can also provide economic rationality and motivation for you to step into film production, distribution and other aspects of business development in the future. "

"Moreover, according to our understanding and analysis, although AMC has been losing money for several years, it is largely due to the business model.

You should also see that AMC is now managed by five fund companies, which means that AMC is decentralized in core decision-making and management. Moreover, as a financial investor, fund companies can not bring more resources that are helpful to the company's business, let alone carry out professional strategic layout.

Companies with large scale and market status that fail in business model are more likely to achieve profit and rebirth by adjusting business model after acquisition. In this sense, AMC's previous losses are even good.

This allows you to make a wholly owned acquisition of AMC at a lower price. "

"Well." Arthur nodded slightly and said with a smile, "my acquisition team will arrive in a day, and I hope you can give me enough help then."

"No problem, that's what we should do."

"About the loan to buy AMC, is that ok?" Naturally, Arthur couldn't afford so much money to complete the acquisition of AMC cinema. To be frank, he is also a lot of lice now, and he is not afraid to bite. His pancakes can only be realized by bank loans.

However, Arthur is not worried that his debt ratio is too high, because in this regard, the bank is more careful and more concerned than he is. If Arthur's assets really have the risk of too high debt ratio, broken capital chain and unable to repay the loan interest, Barclays will never continue to lend Arthur loans for cross-border M & A.

Now, the bank has not only given Arthur a lot of help and done a lot of preparatory work for the acquisition, but also is willing to give full financial support to Arthur. You should know that the acquisition of the British audien cinema also needs the capital of the bank.

In fact, this also shows from the side that the bank is also optimistic. Arthur has completed the acquisition of two major cinemas and formed the future prospects and prospects of a new cross continent cinema.

Of course, Barclays Bank is also very clear about Arthur's financial situation, and has carried out security assessment. Whether it is the spot gold placed in the bottom of the box in the vault, or one after another from the London gold market, and has entered the eyes of many forces and become the mobile game studio of Arthur, the young earl's cash printer, all make Barkley very special Rest assured of Arthur's repayment ability.

"No problem, our North American division will continue to give you full support to help you complete the acquisition!" The representative of the bank, smiling, replied in a very positive tone.

"Oh, thank you." Arthur did not say too much thank you, everyone is no profit can not get up early.After seeing off the people from the bank, Arthur went back to his study, and the video connected Angela, an investment and financial consultant in London.

“。。。 Boss, if a wholly-owned acquisition is really needed, the key is how much of the $2.2 billion will be used to purchase equity and how much to repay debt. This may become the biggest obstacle in the negotiation between the two sides. How to repay debt is the key to the acquisition.

If the debt is not reduced after the acquisition, it will be difficult for us to turn around the loss in the shortest time after the acquisition due to such a large financial burden. In AMC's debt structure, there are $1.5 billion of notes due in 2014, 2019 and 2020, which have higher interest costs.

In addition, according to the data we have collected, the U.S. film industry has entered a stage of stable development. In the past few years, the number of American film viewers has remained between $1.33 billion and $1.4 billion per year, and the growth rate of total box office revenue is less than 5%. Most of AMC's operating revenue has been maintained at around $2.5 billion in recent years.

So, if we can, it's better that we can transfer all the $1.5 billion notes to Barclays and adjust the repayment period and interest rates. "

Hearing Angela's words, Arthur could not help frowning, some uncertain said: "I'm afraid that the bank will not agree, after all, in this way, they have to bear the risk will rise."

"Hehe, boss, the bank will agree!" Angela smiles confidently.

"Ha ha, what good idea do you have?" Hearing Angela's words, Arthur asked with a happy smile.

"We just need to tell Barclays that the $1.5 billion bill will be transferred to the new company after the merger of AMC and odien. After all, most of the studios on the Odeon line are located in prime locations in major European cities. In the past 12 months, its revenue is about 1.2 billion US dollars, accounting for about 20% of the European market share, ranking first in the major European countries in film market share.

The advantages of the new company are very significant, and the bank will definitely agree with it. After all, as long as the repayment ability is guaranteed, they can make a steady profit without loss. How can they miss such a high-quality investment. "

" ha ha, that's it. Let the acquisition team start as soon as possible. It's better to finish the negotiation with odien cinema line at the same time. I want to make a big news, throw a Zha bullet to the global film market, stir up the storm, and make my new cinema company famous! " Arthur micro squint eyes, eyes bright said.

"Well, boss, even if it is impossible to complete the transaction at the same time, the merger of the two major cinemas will shock the film markets in North America and Europe. At that time, I'm afraid the most happy and exciting thing is the British film circle. They will regard you as the Savior of British films."

"Oh, I'm not a savior. I want dollars and authority!" Arthur said with a happy smile.
