To be honest, if you can, Andy definitely doesn't want to do anything with Vivendi. This company is not only greedy but also has a very bad reputation in the industry. Well, it should be notorious A good teammate.

Vivendi is a French multinational media group with operations in music, television, film, publishing, telecommunications, the Internet and video games.

After the water company established a new development strategy to acquire, from the water industry to later TV stations, print media, game companies, etc., it was almost all acquired. And such violent acquisition methods have been used to this day.

The reason for their bad reputation is that because of their ruthless treatment of the acquired company, they can basically be summarized by the process of "acquisition, reorganization, extracting value, and selling", so the companies acquired by Vivendi are very miserable.

Previously, Vivendi's scourge companies were Universal Cinema, Blizzard, Activision, and Snow Mountain. Xuele Mountain has been completely killed, Activision also merged with Vivendi ’s gaming department in December last year to become a new subsidiary. I heard that Activision ’s people have begun to have serious problems with Vivendi ’s people. Disagreement.

In fact, I really want to say that the relationship between Andy and Vivendi is really continuous. You must know that Andy also has an album contract with Universal Music, which is a subsidiary of Vivendi ...

No, Universal hasn't settled the matter yet, so Renault hits his mind on him to laugh at Bird Games, hoping to acquire or merge.

"Hehe." Andy looked at Renault with suggestions and smiled, and he ignored the other side's stubble. Andy knew that Vivendi had made a huge profit through Yamaguchi Mountain, and had almost a bright future for the gaming industry. Paranoid ambition.

As Andy's cash cow, unless Andy is crazy, he will get a share of his own mocking bird game company, not to mention outsiders, even if mocking some of the management company of the bird game company, Andy will strictly control the equity The incentive plan will never exceed the number of shareholders who must be listed.

"Let me bring the greatest sincerity, and I also know that your negotiations with General Electric have not stopped, but GE will not be able to pay you any money. If you do not complete the merger, they will not be able to Loaning money from the bank, to put it plainly, as long as I do not make concessions, this is an endless cycle, and everyone can only sit at the negotiating table and waste saliva. "

Andy raised his hand and drank the champagne in the glass. He stared deeply at the steady stream of lights on the road outside the window, the corners of his mouth turned up, revealing a mocking smile.

"There are too many self-righteous people in the world. GM believes that I will be forced to compromise to complete the merger and acquisition and establish a new media empire.

Hehe, billions of debts, I do n’t understand where they come from, and I think I must buy them?

Regardless of the outcome of this trip to Paris, if GE continues to drag on, I can only abandon the acquisition of Universal.

After all, my peak and TV station are developing very well. For me, time is not a problem, and I have patience beyond my age. "

Hearing Andy's almost ordinary words, he still calmly changed Renault's complexion, and looked at Andy's extremely bright eyes with a smile, and saw a bit of coldness from the other's eyes.

"Hehe." Let Renault laugh again and again. For Andy's threat, Vivendi is not too dangerous. Although it will also bring some impact and cause the stock to fall, GE will definitely be completely sad. If it were not for the support of this merger negotiation, GE's stock price would have fallen below $ 3.

I have to say that the timing of this young man in front of him is simply terrible. Looking at Andy's handsome side face with his mouth upturned, Renault suddenly raised a chill from his heart, and his pupils shrank slightly.

Nima, this kid will not be ready to pit General Electric from the beginning! ?

"Andy, don't worry. After all, it is a merger of several tens of billions of assets. Negotiations are to solve one problem and one problem. How can we reach a consensus all of a sudden, but I really did the purchase price of 4.2 billion. No, it's about a $ 200 million float. A board of directors must be called to vote. "

Renault noticed that this young man was showing signs of dying to General Electric, and decided to let his company climb out of the big pit first. No matter what, if the merger and acquisition plan is cancelled, their Vivendi company will be implicated. Now Global Finance The market has been shrouded in unimaginable panic. Any wind and grass move may trigger the tsunami effect and the stock price plummets.

"I understand that I will stay in Paris for two days and fly to London on Saturday. No matter what the outcome is next Monday, if the negotiations still do not progress, I will inform the outside world and terminate the M & A negotiations with GE!" Andy smiled, But the indifferent look in his eyes reminded Renault of all the information he had read about the young man before him.

The two most mentioned words in the data are fierce and decisive. Now it seems that this is the case. The thought of his other big short title made Renault more sure that the young man had been holding on to big moves and was ready to entertain GM. Electrical!

November 17 ...

After attending the reception, Renault looked dignified, sitting in the car frowning and thinking about the date. He couldn't think of anything special. He picked up the phone and called his secretary to let him check what was special next Monday. thing.

After hanging up the phone, let Renault start thinking about Andy's offer. The price of 4.2 billion US dollars, he did not want to accept it. For Vivendi, to squeeze the biggest benefit is their consistent style. The greedy shareholders who are supported by the violent takeovers and the huge benefits brought by the split may also have difficulty accepting the $ 200 million less offer.

"Buzz"

Hearing the cell phone, letting Renault pick it up and hearing what the secretary said on the phone, his face became increasingly ugly.

"Next Monday, the world ’s major countries will release the latest economic data and the rescue effects and future economic outlook of the countries after a series of economic stimulus measures have been introduced."

"Utain!" In French

Let Renault look so blue. He can see it clearly. Andy Smith has a plan and a premeditated plan to calculate all of this. We must know that the reason why the global stock market has fallen since entering November, the most important factor is the international The impact of the financial crisis on the real economy has gradually emerged, and the response targets of the world's major economies have also shifted from previously focusing on financial markets to saving the real economy, launching a thrilling rescue.

Almost all the media in the world are pessimistic about the financial turmoil. Let's just say Europe. The most appeared in newspapers is that the euro zone has entered the first recession period since its birth.

He can imagine that if the data and content released on Monday are not optimistic, the world will usher in Black Monday again. If At this time Andy Smith announces the termination of the merger negotiations ...

hiss

It made Renault feel bad for the whole person, and Vivendi's stock price also benefited a lot from this M & A transaction negotiation. If it is an ordinary day, there may be some small declines, or it will have no effect at all.

But if it really is as expected by Andy Smith, after his implementation of the plan, they will be affected by Vivendi and I am afraid it will not be too small! As for General Electric, huh, the stock may be directly suppressed to $ 1, so Renault does not believe that Andy Smith, the big short bear, has nothing to prepare to entertain GE.

"Let the company's investment department take a look at GE's stock and go short ..."

Hang up the phone, let Renault squint his eyes slightly, frown, and touched his chin to think, but finally shook his head and sighed, Andy Smith used this trend to crush, and didn't care to let them know their plans Because even if you know, Vivendi has no way to escape from the vortex, and the initiative is entirely in the hands of Andy Smith. Maybe he also prepared a plan to short Vivendi, choose the timing and use the market panic psychology, Let your opponents have no fight back!
