Chapter 493: Acquisition of DreamWorks

Thanksgiving is approaching, and turkeys used to be served, cranberries, moss jam, sweet potato, corn, pumpkin pie, bread baked by yourself, and various vegetables and fruits, all of them have become on-the-trade foods.

But this Thanksgiving Day in 2004 was destined not to make some people relaxed. Just as the outside world commented on Chen Tiandu gloatingly, an unexpected news suddenly shocked the whole world:

"The matrix that has been rumored to be "a bite of a hot commodity"... To be precise, Chen Tiandu suddenly launched a counterattack, announcing the same time the anti-acquisition of Paramount and the full acquisition of DreamWorks."

The offer to Paramount parent Viacom Group has not been announced yet, but the acquisition case initiated by DreamWorks is a real shot. The offer to DreamWorks is as high as US$3 billion, and he is willing to bear all the debts of DreamWorks production company. At the same time, he announced that he has acquired DreamWorks... including more than 50% of the shares of DreamWorks Animation Company on the market. If necessary, they will continue to acquire them.

This share already accounts for 13% of DreamWorks' total shares, enough to rank as a shareholder.

And taking this opportunity, we officially launched a full acquisition from DreamWorks, including the most profitable DreamWorks animation company.

As soon as the news came out, it immediately caused an uproar in the whole Hollywood. The news spread to the world at an extremely fast speed. Not only did it not restrain itself, it became more and more aggressive, stabbing the bayonet to the real giant of Hollywood 10▼ Paramount Pictures, which was also involved in the DreamWorks acquisition case that competed with Global and Paramount...

"OMG!"

The media suddenly became excited, "If you don't move, you'll make a big splash."

"Haha. The good show is on stage. The Chinese who robbed money is angry!"

Almost all mainstream media in China are scrambling to report the news. Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan are also paying close attention to the report.

This acquisition also affects the matrix completely get rid of the hat of an independent production company and moves towards a giant company; it also affects a company in China to become a global giant. Perhaps more domestic films will be used in the future and will enter the North American market through this channel.

Japan's Sony once acquired Columbia Company. Over the years, it has been making money and investing in China under the guise of Columbia. Major award ceremonies such as the Hong Kong Academy Awards, the Taiwan Golden Horse Awards, etc. You will definitely hear this saying: "Thank you Columbia Company..." In fact, it is just thanking the Japanese, but if you put on the Columbia brand, you will immediately become an American boss, so that you will lose your resistance.

They came to China to make money with great fanfare, waving money to point fingers at Chinese movies, "No plots that slander Japan's image" "China-Japan peace, it's wrong for you to scold the Japanese", "Anti-Japanese movies, I'm sorry, we don't invest", etc. But most people dare not speak out, and the media rarely report it.

Why? It is because Sony acquired Colombia.

It is conceivable that in this era of domestic films' rise, the matrix suddenly launched an acquisition case against giants, which had a huge impact on domestic media.

Yahoo Entertainment News. Commented on this matter, it was reported that "When Paramount clamored to acquire the matrix, the whole world almost forgot. The boss of the matrix is ​​a rich man. There is a saying in China that the tiger's butt cannot be touched. This action undoubtedly touched the tiger's butt. This top rich man is still very young and his blood has not yet been erased. If you hit the water dog, he will stab you with great fanfare, and this knife will immediately make Paramount unable to stand it. For Paramount's acquisition, the matrix may not be moved, but will Paramount be moved in the face of the acquisition of the matrix..."

Paramount was moved or not, and I don’t know yet, but DreamWorks was already moved.

They urgently held a board meeting to discuss the acquisition case. They also set up a special team to negotiate with the matrix team. Unconsciously, most of their stocks had been acquired, and they knew nothing about it. This is really incredible and a huge blow to DreamWorks, and they were sent to the stolen stand.

Fortunately, the three giants are not in harmony, and DreamWorks will sooner or later sell them, just changing them to buyers.

Peck was so proud at this moment. During this period, it seemed that every rich man in Hollywood was clamoring to acquire the matrix, but no one was really touched. Now his boss was stuck in the opponent's throat as soon as he moved. It was so cool!

He took the team with a relaxed mood to negotiate with the DreamWorks team.

On Saturday, the Hollywood Reporter first gave a comprehensive interpretation of the acquisition: "Is it still discussing when Chen Tiandu can break through Spielberg's box office king throne? You are out, and now Chen Tiandu will soon become the new boss of DreamWorks..."

The main content is roughly stated: Matrix Group will obtain copyrights for all content in DreamWorks after acquiring DreamWorks.

DreamWorks Production Company's valuation is about 1 billion yuan. The valuation of DreamWorks Animation is currently with the big sale of the "Monster Shrek" series, and the market value has exceeded 1.5 billion yuan, and it is still in the rising stage.

But the acquisition offer of $3 billion can also be paid for cash, which is enough to make DreamWorks' three major shareholders excited.

Observer Gerhard Fasol, CEO of boutique consultant company eurotehnology, said: "Now is a good time to acquire, because DreamWorks' current valuation is quite low."

Fasol added: "From the matrix aspect, the group hopes to obtain more content and acquire DreamWorks to bring more content to it. Especially the joint acquisition of DreamWorks animation company can vigorously promote the slow pace of matrix in the animation industry. The integration of DreamWorks production department will also increase the annual output of the matrix's films.

Tony Huaibo, an analyst at the US securities rating agency Janney Touching Garysott, also said in the report: "Chen Tiandu aims at DreamWorks, which is not the case. When we look at previous news, it is not difficult to find that he has actually started to switch to DreamWorks a long time ago. At that time, Donny, who was the financial manager of Chen Tiandu, explained that it was just a normal business investment, and it seems that it is obviously more than that. They had already started preparing for this work before the New Year, and perhaps had already made plans earlier. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Paramount gave up the acquisition of DreamWorks, and the matrix suddenly broke out, which was the best time.

"He has always been very clear. Everyone knows that any information security leak can only exist in the questioning stage. If the security of online users' registration information is really ensured, then it may be more unbelievable than Chen Tiandu. Without any legal basis, it is illegal to force him to reduce his holdings of Google shares."

Steve Spielberg of Northlake Capital Management also publicly responded to the media, saying: "Because DreamWorks is poorly managed and weakly grown, it makes sense to sell it to the matrix. I think it is interesting that DreamWorks' new owner is not a Hollywood giant company in the traditional sense. I thought that DreamWorks and Lionsgate Pictures, and even the matrix may face acquisition when it develops to a certain point, but the matrix stood out. He successfully withstood the pressure, stood up with jealous performance, and became bigger step by step. It used to be my dream... Now someone has done it."

Chen Tian still did not show up. He just updated his AE wave ok, wrote an extra-long professional analysis document, and analyzed the future informatization.

"The film and television industry in the future will surely be the world of the Internet."

"Video websites, smartphones, mobile phones, tablets... will be released one by one. Just imagine, if your mobile phone can surf the Internet like a computer, it will be easier and more comfortable to talk, make friends, take photos, take videos, and upload videos. Almost everyone will have a camera. What era will it be, and how colorful will the video content be?"

"The digital age will come, and the digital sales of music will exceed the sales of physical records. Because it is easier to broadcast on demand and listen. The popular dramas in each season will also be run by faster online dramas."

"People will not be satisfied with all the movies and TV series that exist. At that time, technology companies will be more favored by media studios. It will be a world of fragmented content. Maybe there will be a website that specializes in live video shows where you sit in front of your computer at home and show how to eat three meals a day by surfing the Internet, and you can gain a large amount of money from fans."

"This is not such a distant science fiction movie. Maybe it's happening around you, but you don't know it yet. For example, as I know, Andy Rubin once worked on developing a smart mobile operating system to enable mobile phones to surf the Internet like a computer. They have also implemented this operating system, and physical mobile phones will soon be released. It will be a real work of art, which will cause a sensation around the world and eliminate all existing non-smart mobile phones. Mobile phone giants will be shuffled, and those who are behind will be eliminated... Cough cough, it's a long way."

"Anyway, acquiring DreamWorks is not just about expanding production. We will move towards more original content..."

His words caused great discussion in the industry.

Everyone knows that the mobile phone operating system introduced in Chen Tiandu's article has been acquired by him and has begun to develop smartphones.

He mentioned the concept of a "content fragmented world", which has been recognized by his peers.

I just took office with Apple eo and agreed because they also began to study the Apple mobile phone business. "I agree with the concept of a fragmented content world. A more comfortable, convenient and fast intelligent world will surely be the dominant force in the future. But I highly condemn Chen Tiandu’s own actions. This is unfair competition. I want to warn you that it is impossible to dig out the core of Apple through this method."

“???”

Three question marks floated on the netizens' heads, what nerves were about Jobs. When did Chen Tian offend this great god again? Wasn't he shooting his own cartoon?
