#1047 big acquisition

If Yahoo's acquisition of ebay is only out of the rumor stage, then Dell's acquisition of emc is in progress.

As the most famous technology entrepreneur before Zhou Shi and Zuckerberg, Dell may be more famous in the United States than Zhou Shi. Dell is also one of the three largest PC manufacturers in the world and has a very good market share and reputation in the Chinese market.

"The price of this acquisition will be between 60 billion and 70 billion US dollars, and Dell's possible debt will exceed 40 billion US dollars..." Hu Zuniu

"What's wrong with this? What does Dell's owed money have to do with us?" Zhou Shi, the sales of hardware manufacturers have declined, and the industry has fallen into a development dilemma. It has fallen by 10% in a year, and it can be said that it has suffered heavy losses.

"Silver Lake and Time Finance Department decided to help Dell raise funds, not only debts, but also other assets. For example, in order to pay off the debt as soon as possible, Dell will inevitably deal with Shi Guang's original assets at a discount. This is the time for us to eat meat." Hu Zuniu

Dell was privatized for $23 billion in 2013 and owed a lot of debts. In less than two years, it has wanted to acquire a company that is far larger than Dell. However, due to the size gap between the two parties, whether Dell is an equity acquisition or a cash acquisition, it is also a big burden to it.

It’s good to have a burden, which means that Dell cannot do without the help of financial companies. The first choice is Silver Lake, followed by Xinghe Capital. Taking the risk of lending money to Dell to acquire Emc, naturally, in order to gain something. So waiting for Dell to sell high-quality asset assets and raise funds to alleviate debt risks is one of the best choices.

In fact, Dell sold its service department and software department for $5 billion in his previous life. A few years ago, Dell almost spent tens of billions of dollars when he acquired these assets... They can at least make profits and transfer income by acquiring Dell assets at low prices...

"Can we acquire Weirui Company, a subsidiary of EANxin Emc?" Zhou Shi, the VMware company he mentioned, is a global leader in desktop to data center virtualization solutions. Simply put, it can run Linux in Windows and run Windows in Linux systems. It provides not only virtual machines, but also optimized management of x86 servers, ensuring that the virtual machines do not go down and the overall system is absolutely stable and reliable. Although this company has not yet embraced cloud computing, its technical strength is destined to be able to provide great help to cloud computing. If this company can be acquired, both Yahoo and Time's cloud computing technology capabilities can be greatly improved.

"Although his performance and revenue have declined recently, Weirui has an important position in Dell's future plans, and there is basically no possibility of this." Hu Zuniu

Yianxin seems to hold more than 80% of Weirui's shares, just like the proportion of shares that Yahoo will hold after Yelp goes public. Without the consent of the major shareholder, it is impossible for the outside world to acquire such a company.

"It's a pity!" Zhou Shi

"We cannot acquire all the outstanding companies in the world!" Hu Zuniu

"Well, don't worry, I won't be demanding." Zhou Shi

"There are really many major acquisitions this year, including tens of billions or hundreds of billions of dollars. I hope Time Holdings can get fair treatment in the United States in the future!" Hu Zuniu, his meaning may be to let Zhou Shi not be entangled in front of him, and it will be more exciting in the future.

"What big acquisitions are there?" I thought I was very rich, but I heard Hu Zuniu's meaning that there were still many things I couldn't do. A large acquisition of over 100 billion US dollars is exciting to think about. It took more than two years to acquire AIA, a company with a scale of 30 billion US dollars. I don't know how long it takes to prepare for this kind of 100 billion US dollars acquisition. The key is that Lighthouse Country will not allow you to acquire it.

"There are several, such as the pharmaceutical giant Pfizer acquired Irish drugmaker Aljian for US$160 billion, InBev, ABN acquired South Africa's Miller for US$120 billion, Shell acquired British natural gas for US$81 billion, Charter Communications acquired Times Warner Cable Company for US$56 billion..."

"Wait, Time Warner is going to be acquired by this Charter Communication?" Zhou Shi was a little incredible. Did the famous Time Warner change hands like this?

"It is Time Warner Cable, a subsidiary of Time Warner Group split in 2009. It is the second largest cable TV company in Lighthouse. It has 15.2 million residential and commercial users, about 7.5 million broadband users, and 2.5 million IP phone users in 29 states across the United States. It has nothing to do with HBO, Warner Brothers, n, tnt." Hu Zuniu

"So that's what it is, I'm scared!" Zhou Shi

"But since Time Warner rejected the acquisition of 21st Century Fox last year, their board of directors seems to be considering selling it!" Hu Zuniu

"Are you sure?" Zhou Shi was excited

"I can only say that the possibility is very high!" Hu Zuniu

"Then I understand!" Zhou Shi

Back at the office, he asked Chen Wen to prepare some information about the six major Hollywood projects, mainly their recent trends.

"Mad, what's wrong with this world!" Zhou Shi shouted in wonder. Times in Time Warner Group has been listed independently like Yelp, and it has to be sold several times. Times is amazing. It has magazines with high global popularity, such as Times, People, Sports Illustrated, Fortune and Entertainment.

In fact, it’s also his fault that he didn’t know. Time Warner still let Time go public independently without him, which has nothing to do with him. However, there are many things that shocked him, such as:

"Dreamworks Animation announced that it would lay off 500 employees by the end of the year. This..." Zhou Shi discovered that if the company is not excellent, it will definitely be able to live well. Dreamworks Animation's works include "Monster Shrek", "Kung Fu Panda", "Madagascar", and "Training the Dragon", which is an excellent animation company that can be compared with Pixar in the United States.

"Millamax is negotiating with them, hoping to obtain their animated film distribution rights for the next three years!" Chen Wen added after reading the information,

"Why didn't Miramax acquire DreamWorks Animation? Don't you have any money?" Zhou Shi

"They don't seem to have this idea at the moment!" Chen Wen

"Help me call Mila's ceo!" Zhou Shi

"Okay, I'll make arrangements!" Chen Wen

How can Miramax, who has global distribution capabilities, be able to be at ease? Zhou Shi is very dissatisfied with this. Live-action movies and animated movies are indispensable. Besides, if you create a film and television theme park, isn’t it a joke?
