Chapter 286 Package Price Billion
For Natasha, William White is just a springboard. Although she is also very infatuated with this man, she also knows that there will be no results.
Like Sister Mai, she is also a smart woman, and a man is not a must for them.
Of course, for William White, this clever cabbage is indeed not bad. What he is good at is just straight-forward driving, and other things are not his specialty.
"Boss, Atari really can't do it this time. Warner has officially put it on the shelves."
"Oh, Filson, how much is the other party's asking price?"
"One billion U.S. dollars, but no one has asked, and it is estimated that it will be lowered again."
"I think so too. The current valuation is at most 800 million. Let's wait and see."
"Boss, are you interested in buying?"
"Why not? Their arcade machines are doing well. Although the quality is not as good as the foot basin, it is better than most companies. By the way, how many employees do they have now?"
"It's less than 10,000, and we've been laying off staff all these years."
"Just keep an eye on it, and we'll talk about it when we have any specific news."
"By the way, DC is also planning to make a move."
"Isn't that so? Aren't they similar to Marvel?"
"It was similar a few years ago, but now it's completely different. They wanted to sell it to Marvel, but Stan Lee said, let alone 200 million US dollars, 20 million is expensive."
"Hehe, the old guy is very bad. For Marvel, DC is really worthless. Their comic characters are all overlapping, and the universe view is not the same. As for the price, more than 100 million is still a good deal."
"Boss, if you're interested, I'll go and consult again."
"Well, yes, how about the film adaptation rights of Superman and Batman?"
The comic characters of DC are still very attractive. The IP of Superman has not been broken yet. After Superman 3 and 4 come out, it will be completely cold, and the gods will not be able to save this IP.
As for Marvel, hehe, they are just as popular. If there were no Vikings, Marvel would be the only comic overlord in the world.
Of course, considering their death-defying attributes, William White still chose to wait until these guys couldn't continue playing, and then come to pick up a bargain.
"What? Five hundred million, are you kidding me?"
"No, boss. Although this offer is very fucked up, this company is not simple."
"Oh, who is it?"
"William White."
"Tsk, from this point of view, it is indeed sincere, it's just the price."
"Boss, DC and the others are also interested. In this way, we can help Warner get rid of two burdens."
As an executive of Morgan Stanley, Haig certainly wanted to facilitate this merger. There are not many things that William White can buy, and companies of this level are worthy of their participation.
After a large dividend, I believe that the method of self-financing will not be adopted. In this way, William White's shares will be further diluted.
It has to be said that Morgan Stanley quickly figured out the powerful relationship. William White has too many shares. If it can be diluted in this way, I believe most shareholders will be happy to see it.
Of course, William White also understands this truth. It is wrong to control most of the shares for a long time. This will be criticized by others, and there will be a lot of trouble. Therefore, it is not allowed to use its own funds. This will lead to a backlash from many forces.
Maintaining an absolute holding for a long time is not conducive to the development of the company. Today's two listed companies are all giants with a market value of more than 20 billion. For some things, it is better to follow the rules.
After the news came out, it really caused violent fluctuations in the market. Generally speaking, it is still in an upward trend of shocks. This shows that the market is still optimistic about this acquisition.
At the same time, Warner's stock price also began to stabilize, getting rid of the previous unilateral downward trend.
Well, although it looks very beautiful, Warner can't be happy.
How long has it been? At the beginning, they were still talking about Little Warner. With just a blink of an eye, Little Warner turned into a Big Mac. As for them, they were just delicacies in other people's mouths.
And that damn Superman.
They were all in the industry and knew that the movie, which had a bad reputation, was over.
They were just a little worried, what if William White messed up?
At that time, people will say, look, Warner has blind eyes, and he is going to beg for a job with a golden rice bowl.
In fact, many people believe that this is not a question of worry or not at all, it is an inevitable thing that will happen. At that time, the few of them present today will probably become a joke.
In fact, they overestimated William White, Superman's reputation collapsed, and the style of comics also collapsed. The timeline is also messed up, and I really don't understand what kind of brain this is.
You see, Superman kicked Mustache's ass, which is fine though. But why did he become a reporter again?
It's not that you can't make it up like this, but you can't just say nothing, right?
It's even more ridiculous that a group of aliens are dating in Paris, so the result is that you can't get it back. If you want to make a difference, you have to modify the entire timeline, and that stupid view of the universe.
Alas, it's really not good to be one step ahead. Looking at Marvel, it is indeed much more reasonable. As for why such a change, hehe, didn't you just see the disadvantages of DC?
In a sense, Stan Lee is right, DC is worthless, it is garbage among garbage.
However, Stan Lee will not spend a lot of time modifying, and William White doesn't care, he can completely recombine these comic characters.
Hehe, there is no need for any modification at all, it can be derived on the basis of Marvel, and it will be fine to push everything back.
If Marvel is still played to death by these guys, hehe, just buy it back. It is not a big deal that the two cosmic spaces are directly connected.
Therefore, the same thing is seen differently by different people. Let alone more than 100 million US dollars can be purchased, 300 to 500 million US dollars is not a problem at all.
Stan Lee, who was sitting in his office, was also very confused. He admired William White's brain and knew that this man was far from simple. For this reason, he certainly could not understand what William White would do.
He can see the shortcomings of DC, and William White can naturally, but how to do it?
Anyway, he has fallen into a misunderstanding now. How to modify these chaotic timelines?
In a fit of anger, Stan Lee tore up the manuscript paper on the desktop. Although the old guy was a bit old, his temper was still hot. He was a little unconvinced, since you William White can do it, so can I, Stan Lee.
Wait, when these manuscript papers were torn, he finally figured it out, shocked by William White's audacity, but also a little bit annoyed.
"Damn it, you're pushing it all over again? This bastard, you're planning to start it all over again?" Stan Lee, with his mouth crooked and eyes slanted, finally figured it out, but he was a little bit less interested.
What can I do if I know it? William White can do this, but he has many constraints, and the cost of pushing it all over again is too high, and those directors will never agree.
