Chapter 273 Acquisition Completed

Netflix's acquisition went very smoothly because it is small and has many shortcomings. However, NBC is too big and its value is around US$30 billion.

Even though He Yuzhu is rich, GE also has his own ideas. Their current opinion is that it can be sold, but they want to retain a certain share of the company. However, He Yuzhu wants to acquire it and merge the companies acquired by Lion Pictures and others into a group.

As a result, even if GE retains some shares, it will eventually be diluted during the merger, unless they take NBC as a stake.

Equity is also a problem here. He Yuzhu does not want these companies to be listed now. He wants to integrate them into a group and then include several wholly-owned subsidiaries. After a few years of development, these subsidiaries will be listed one after another.

He has no plans to remain fully-owned, because this is the United States. If he is fully-owned, he will definitely be suppressed in the future. He needs allies.

In addition, He Yuzhu also wants to cause trouble for the United States. He is very clear about what will happen in the future. It is not obvious yet. The United States is still focusing on oil and facing terrorist activities.

The United States is consuming its own energy and resources. When our warships start to drop dumplings, they will belatedly realize that they will use various methods. If they are fully owned by then, they will be easily targeted.

Therefore, he needs a large number of allies, but not now, because they are too cheap now.

Therefore, He Yuzhu proposed a new plan. General Electric would first sell NBC to itself and then delist it. Then both parties would sign a contract, and NBC would be relisted five years later.

General Electric has the right of first refusal, which allows He Yuzhu to integrate resources, optimize the current structure, and integrate resources together.

General Electric is very satisfied with this. NBC's ratings this year are not good. If they get limited purchase rights, it is not impossible.

Subsequently, there was a discussion about the shares that he could purchase in the future, and He Yuzhu guaranteed a 15% share.

In this way, the two parties have officially launched acquisition negotiations. The prerequisites have been determined. The next step is just the issue of stock price and the lobbying of other shareholders. This has the help of people from General Electric and Goldman Sachs.

General Electric is willing to help lobby for 15% of its future shares. To put it bluntly, it is a mutual exchange of various interests.

It’s not that they are very optimistic about He Yuzhu, but they are very concerned about Lion Pictures. Cooperation between TV stations and film companies is very attractive.

Another point is that NBC’s news is relatively neutral, which is one of the reasons why they are willing to sell it to He Yuzhu.

In the end, He Yuzhu invested US$29 billion to acquire all the shares, privatized NBC, and delisted it.

In this way, He Yuzhu made headlines again, and NBC immediately found him. He hoped that He Yuzhu could contribute to his TV station and accept an interview, preferably a special interview.

He Yuzhu nodded and agreed to attend NBC's "The Tonight Show", hosted by Jay Leno, who has been hosting it since 1992.

The program lasts about 50 minutes and consists of three parts: monologue, guest, and band performance.

This kind of program is very interesting and humorous, especially when NBC promotes it in advance. At this time, NBC has not made any personnel adjustments, but the personnel and property have been taken over, and at this time, it is being understood in depth.

After Jay Leno started the show, he stepped onto the stage and said, "Everyone should know that today's guest is actually my new boss."

"And he doesn't have time to discuss the script with me..."

This is humor, and the underlying meaning is, I have to be careful today!

The audience laughed. Most of the humor is based on the pain of others. Jay Leno knew this very well, so he showed his own pain at this time.

"Well, recently, my boss has become a man of the hour. With his continuous acquisitions, the US dollars he has thrown out are now nearly 50 billion."

"Then why is he so rich?"

"We'd better just invite him up directly. After all, I don't want to piss off my boss!"

I skipped the previous monologue. After all, He Yuzhu is now a huge hot topic, which is very important for the ratings. Promote it in advance and attract most of the viewers in the United States.

What will the ratings be like today?

Everyone at NBC is looking forward to it!

He Yuzhu stepped forward and the audience was very proud and applauded one by one.

He Yuzhu waved, and Jay Leno stepped forward to greet him, "Hello, boss!"

"Hello Leno!" After the two shook hands, Jay Leno invited He Yuzhu to sit down.

After adjusting his sitting posture, Jay Leno spoke, "Boss, I am very curious about you as a whole in the United States!"

"Why are you so rich?"

He Yuzhu laughed, "Do you want to know the secret of my fortune?"

"Of course I want to know, what about you?" Jay Leno turned to look at the audience.

The audience cheered, and He Yuzhu then said: "It's not a secret, I used to be a cook."

"Really?" Jay Leno looked surprised, "Isn't it possible?"

"It's true. I used to work as a chef in a factory cafeteria." He Yuzhu said, "It wasn't until our country reformed that I quit my job and went into business. I started business in the early 1980s. "

"The first business is a restaurant!"

"It's unbelievable. The early 1980s was only twenty years ago. Did you become so rich in such a short period of time?" Jay Leno was shocked, and so were the audience.

"It's also a talent. In addition, I like to invest in others. Of course, I also have my own advantages. The restaurant is just the starting point, and then I started to do the food business." He Yuzhu said: "This is my advantage. Most of the products before were produced by me. Developed formula.”

"Oh, I can't believe it. Boss, how does the stuff you study taste like?" Jay Leno asked.

He Yuzhu said: "Looking at me as a rich man, you should know that at least it is in line with the taste of us Asians, but many products have been sold to Europe and the United States, and sales have been growing."

"Master He Food, that He is my last name, I am Master He!"

"Can you make so much money just by making food?" Jay Leno asked again.

"I just said that I like to invest in others. For example, I invest in hotels and real estate. I am more interested in managers. If I recognize his talents, I will invest." He Yuzhu said: "Projects come second."

"What a unique vision!" Jay Leno then asked: "Then why did you suddenly come to the United States and then carry out large-scale acquisitions?"
