"You will regret being an enemy of me."
"You have to try it, don't you? Michael..."
Chicago 1990 Chapter 1481: In the 2nd Disney Battle
"No, Mr. Roberts, you... As a radio, telecommunications, and broadband infrastructure operator, Comcast should be like, like a highway company..."
"No one stipulates that highway companies can't make cars, right? aplus."
"Yes, there is no rule, but you use Disney to directly participate in the competition between content providers... Small and medium companies such as Litman Media will be very troubled."
"There is no need to worry about aplus at this point. I guarantee that our policy will not change. Yes, Disney’s abc TV network is very strong, but we will definitely not squeeze out the channel resources of other TV stations because of this. On the contrary, the brand-new Kang Custer will provide you with a larger and broader space for the movies and records released through Disney. This is a win-win for us...aplus, I think you should not be someone who is afraid of change."
"I was just a little surprised."
"Haha, no way. Do you know what the current US local operator with only about 200,000 user resources is selling? 800 million dollars. Our expansion in the original field has reached the limit, and we must step out of the comfort zone to find new profits. Growth point..."
After talking with Comcast Chairman Roberts, Song Ya put down the phone, never expected, another Comcast would come out of the oblique stabbing?
And like Disney, Comcast, which has signed exclusive channel resources with a and ace, also belongs to its own rear...
"Why didn't you think that Comcast would be changed before... I didn't offend the rich second generation, right?"
He even wondered if it had something to do with his own hatred physique. "It's reasonable to say that it's impossible? Little Roberts's ability and tolerance are almost the ceiling of the second generation of business. I have never had any conflict with him."
"Don't be too narcissistic, you, who would take 544 billion dollars of real money just to disgust you..."
Sloan vomited: "In this terrifying hostile takeover case, you are just a trivial little character ok? Besides, isn't our cooperation with Comcast always happy?"
"But the emperor should resist desperately, right?" Song Ya asked.
"Sure, Eisner kind of power freak..."
Sloan put a document in front of him.
After the acquisition of atandt’s cable TV division, Comcast currently has nearly 21.5 million cable subscribers and is the largest cable service provider in the United States. At the same time, Comcast also owns nearly 15 million Broadband and IP phone users are the second largest Internet service provider in the United States...'
'According to its 2003 fiscal year report before the takeover offer to Disney, Comcast currently has 67,000 employees, annual revenue of 18.3 billion meters, and profit of 6.4 billion meters. ...'
'While Disney is a media giant spanning films, television, amusement parks, animation peripherals, the Internet and other fields. It has approximately 112,000 employees worldwide. Since last year’s annual report has not yet been disclosed, the industry estimates its fiscal 2003 The total annual revenue is about 25 billion meters, and the profit is only about 1 billion meters...'
‘From any point of view, Disney’s scale is larger, while Comcast’s profitability is higher. The current market value of Disney is about 42 billion dollars, and Comcast’s market value is 80 billion...’
'According to this offer, Comcast will convert 42 billion of the 54 billion to all Disney shareholders at the current stock price of the two companies. The current price is about 0.78 to 1. The premium is Comcast fully assumes Disney’s $12 billion debt. ’
‘It looks like a good business for Disney, and the two companies’ industrial layouts are also very complementary...’
"Come in."
On the night of the eleventh, Eisner was also facing a similar document in front of him for a long exam, focusing so much on Linton who came in lightly.
"The timing of Comcast's shot is too delicate, boss, we will have a shareholder meeting on the 3rd of next month... Roy and the others are making trouble again."
Linton secretly observed and felt that the sudden incident made His Majesty the Emperor panic. He was already sickened with bloodshot eyes and terribly serious face. After waiting for a long time, he had to speak cautiously.
"No... ahem."
His Majesty finally cleared his throat and said, "We can't wait until the shareholders meeting, we have to persuade Comcast to leave Comcast before then."
The two things came together, and it seems that His Majesty the Emperor has no confidence in repelling all enemies in the general meeting of shareholders.
"Is it... more difficult?" No one is stupid, Comcast deliberately chose this opportunity, and the heart of the barbarian is already obvious.
"No matter how difficult it is!"
His Majesty the Emperor restored some lion-like domineering, and then swept down the documents again, "Go and call the chief financial officer."
"Yes!"
Linton tentatively asked before heading out: "Are we re-signing a contract with aplus? We now need strong supporters with abundant cash. Based on interests, he naturally hopes that we can tide over the difficulties."
"That's too late."
His Majesty the Emperor shook his head and raised his eyelids to glance at Linton, knowing that this cronie wanted to take this opportunity to try to cancel the clause in the original contract that prohibited aplus from holding Disney stocks. He also knew Linton’s alliance with the billionaire. "It's not enough. In short, let's get rid of our immediate troubles."
"OK."
Linton didn't dare to say more, and went out to call someone. The emperor's heart is unpredictable, and the emperor has his own tactics. Even within the royalist party, his vice chairman is not without enemies, but he belongs to a member who has been divided and drawn.
"Annual report? Impossible, too late..."
Such an important position of chief financial officer naturally belongs to the royalist party. He waited in the office and was quickly called over, "It will be the end of the month as soon as possible."
"The end of the month is late."
His Majesty the Emperor asked impatiently: "What about the fourth quarter quarterly report?"
"That... almost finished."
"Have you brought it?"
"Bring it." The CFO immediately took out the document and submitted it, perhaps realizing something, and then took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
"You go home and rest, everyone is very tired today." His Majesty sent Linton away and took a serious look.
'Disney suddenly disclosed the fourth quarter of last year’s quarterly report on the second day of getting Comcast’s offer. The data showed that its revenue and profit in the fourth quarter of last year were gratifying. Disney believes that this means that the company’s operating conditions are still in the aftermath of the stock market crash. In the fourth quarter, revenue was 8.56 billion and profit was 688 million, which was a year-on-year increase of 55% and 19% respectively...'
Later on the 12th, another heavy news detonated.
"Our Emperor is panicked."
Little Roberts sneered at the bc news screen on the TV.
"He is still him, simple but effective. Hey!" Old Roberts sighed and closed his eyes.
"Take Jobs." Little Roberts picked up the microphone: "Steve, our enemy is in chaos... The fourth quarter profit is higher than the previous three quarters combined? It's really laughable! Yes, if there is that now The false evidence of a botched quarterly report will be our Longinus gun that quickly killed Disney."
"Don't forget Steve, we have a lot of Disney stock in our hands..."
After Jobs hung up the phone, Larry Ellison, the founder of Oracle who heard clearly, reminded him.
"Robert, we need the original evidence." Chief Jobs took the test, or dialed out, "You are the chief operating officer, shouldn't it be difficult?"
