1445 [Won Columbia Pictures]
Seeing that Lin Boxin was turned into a vegetable by Xia Tian (although this matter had nothing to do with him, it was because of him after all), many wealthy families in Hong Kong couldn't help but be afraid of him and regarded him as a bad star. In addition, Xia Tian used the name of finding accounts and harshly to pull the little braids of those shareholders, which made them very scared.
Therefore, in the next period of time, they all temporarily put off their resistance and became much more cooperative.
Xia Tian also accepted the advice of the company's doctor Weilis, founded his own company, and turned all the stocks into the company's property, including Wenhe Group, Tianfeng Records, and the 38 listed companies.
In this way, the company owns more than half of the forty-four listed companies and has absolute controlling stake. Correspondingly, these forty-four listed companies have become subsidiaries of the company. Doing so will help these listed companies cooperate, and will also help them integrate with each other and finally become one.
Xia Tian named this company Tianxia Group, and the establishment of Tianxia Group officially announced the birth of the Tianxia Group.
Then, under the leadership of the company's doctor Wei Lis, the Tianxia Group carried out a series of operations such as asset restructuring, debt restructuring, equity swap, etc., from easy to difficult, gradually merged. It took nearly two years to finally build the Tianxia Group into a super consortium.
After reorganization, the Tianxia Consortium became a business giant with 44 listed companies and assets of up to HK$150 billion.
Its businesses include real estate, energy, finance, food, clothing, entertainment, media, high technology, etc., covering almost all aspects, and its influence also covers all parts of Hong Kong, even mainland China, Taiwan, Southeast Asia, Europe, America, Australia and other places.
Xia Tian has the most shares, up to 54%, so he has become the well-deserved leader of the world group. Other shareholders originally owned a large number of shares in their listed companies, but because of the equity swaps during the company's restructuring, although the value of the stocks has not changed, the holdings have decreased accordingly, so they all became small shareholders.
For example, if Jincheng Real Estate, which has a market value of HK$500 million, swaps shares with Tianxia Group, which has a market value of HK$50 billion, then Jincheng Real Estate's shareholders can only exchange a small amount of Tianxia Group's shares. Although the value has not changed, the shares in their hands have been diluted.
Equity represents the right of voice. These shareholders are major shareholders in Jincheng Real Estate and can still speak, but in Tianxia Group becomes a small shareholder and lose the right of voice.
When the shareholders of other listed companies become small shareholders, and only Xia Tian holds 54% of the shares, his position is beyond challenge.
Because there are a hundred people, all kinds of strange people, with their own personalities and different needs, it is too difficult to unite them and fight against Xiatian. However, Xiatian can divide and govern them, pull one faction and fight one faction, and turn the world group into its own iron barn.
Of course, all this is a story later.
...
Xia Tianxia Group registered, transferred all the stocks in his hands to the company, and handed them over to Weilis for reorganization. Because the shareholders of those listed companies were shocked by him, most of them acted very well and obedient, so the reorganization progressed relatively smoothly.
At the same time, good news came from the United States.
Coca-Cola finally agreed to the summer acquisition plan and decided to sell 49% of their shares to summer for US$2.1 billion.
In fact, due to the stock market crash, Columbia Pictures' stock price has fallen by 20%, and has not recovered yet. Therefore, its current 49% of its shares are worth up to $1.2 billion.
The 2.1 billion US dollars that Coca-Cola called out was the price before the stock market crash, and now it is not worth that much. However, Xia Tian still agreed to this slightly scam price. It was not that he had money but had no place to burn it. It was because he was worried that the night would be long and dreams would be too long. If Coca-Cola stopped selling, then he would want to acquire the six major Hollywood film companies, which would be more difficult than climbing the sky.
For US$2.1 billion, Xia Tian and Morita Shaofu each paid half of the stocks and received 24.5% of the stocks respectively. However, Xia Tian took advantage of the stock market to snatch 30% of the stocks of Columbia Pictures in the US stock market, so his current shares have reached 54.5%, realizing absolute control over Columbia Pictures.
But Xia Tian did not choose to turn against Sony immediately and seize the position of chairman of Morita Shaofu.
First, because he and Shaofu Morita had made an agreement before, and now it seems a bit unethical and affects reputation; second, he still has many businesses to do with Sony.
Sony is the world's most advanced electronic products manufacturer today. The CD standards, DVD standards and Blu-ray standards are all formulated by Sony. In the future, the DVDs will be released in the summer. If Sony helps, it will undoubtedly be much easier.
Moreover, Sony's video equipment, audio equipment, etc. are also world-class. At the same time, it also has the best-selling game console in the world... It can be seen that summer has a lot of room for cooperation with it. It is really unwise to turn against Sony just to win the reputation of a "chairman".
Therefore, Xia Tian concealed the fact that he was already the largest shareholder of Columbia Pictures and was preparing to take over Columbia Pictures with Morita Shoufu.
...
Summer acquired Columbia Pictures for $150 million, which is about 8 billion Hong Kong dollars. Although he still had a portion of cash, Summer did not use the money, but loaned HSBC 8 billion Hong Kong dollars.
Although East Asia Bank could also lend this money, it still chose HSBC in the summer.
The reason for this is mainly because the Tianxia Group is now undergoing restructuring. Although those shareholders are more obedient on the surface, they are still under great pressure. If they can get Shen Bi's help, the difficulty will be much less intentionally reduced. And if they want to get Shen Bi's help, of course, they will have to pay a little price.
For others, 8 billion Hong Kong dollars may be astronomical figures, and interest alone can crush people. But for summers with a net worth of over 100 billion Hong Kong dollars, this money is just a drizzle. If you pay a little benefit, you can ask Shen Bi and Shen Caishen to help you stand on the stage. This money is still worth it.
On the day of the formal signing of the contract, Xia Tian took a special plane to the United States and officially signed his daimyo on the contract with Shao Morita.
From that moment on, Columbia Pictures, one of the six Hollywood giants, was officially taken into his pocket.
