Now mark is finally living in a mansion, yacht and private plane. He has a super model as his wife and N lovers. His life is very happy. Moreover, their current asset structure is very high-quality and there is no debt. A large company has no debt. It's really enviable and jealous.

The Ellison family and egger still owe Citibank debt, which is a relatively low interest rate. Others can't find such a good thing. They don't rush to pay it back. They are all people with money owners. They can take out a sum of money to pay off their debts on the last repayment day, and they are not afraid of the bank's tricks.

Mark and his company are different. They hold a large number of Citibank hedging futures index contracts, which has reached the point where Citibank is uneasy. The worse the economic environment, the more valuable the futures index is. One day, they will take ten times the money to complete the transaction, so now they take advantage of Mark's debt to force them to repay their debts in advance and cancel each other with futures index contracts, The debt was paid off.

For mark, he just bought futures contracts with us $1.2 billion, and now he has cleared more than 6 billion of huge debts. For banks, they don't have to pay a huge compensation of US $12 billion. Everyone is happy. For everyone, this is a win-win result.

It is estimated that throwing out the futures contract will give them billions of working capital, which gives them a strong purchasing power. Buying and selling private aircraft is only one of them, and Williams construction group hopes to sell the Williams center to them, But mark, they are not very satisfied with the price.

Now house prices have fallen sharply, and no one knows where the bottom line is. In view of this, buying real estate now is really not a good idea. No financial expert would suggest starting with real estate at this time. It's best to hold cash and wait until the market is stable.

In fact, mark and they think so, but Williams group is eager to sell off the industry to avoid bankruptcy and is looking for buyers everywhere. It is said that they have all offered, especially the Japanese and Indians.

In fact, many people think that mm is the most suitable buyer. This large consortium with a market value of 30 billion should have its own headquarters rather than live on rent. This Williams center, with a 47 storey skyscraper, is a nearby landmark. The ground is a huge business center composed of shops and supermarkets. Mm is the largest customer here.

If the business center falls into the hands of others, they decide not to renew their contract with mm and let mm move away. Of course, this is the words of lobbyists of Williams construction group. In their words, mm is the most suitable buyer of the center, and this is marriage in heaven.

However, for their lobbyists, mark doesn't nod, and egger won't take the initiative to be the wrongdoer. Now the best way is to wait and see. If the house price doesn't fall to their ideal price, stupid people will rush to buy it. No matter who buys the center, it's impossible to drive mm away.

Mm is the business card of the center and the largest customer. It thrives because of MM's entry. If you leave mm, it will fall even worse. Nearly 3000 employees of MM group move away (Headquarters), which will make it a dead city. There are no more ghosts. What a joke to drive them away.

They have signed a ten year old contract. If they unilaterally terminate on any side, they will lose money. Egger is sure that the first thing for any company to take over the center is to appease mm and ensure that they will continue to rent.

Egger was even sure that as long as mm let go of the rent, the house price here would immediately fall sharply. Therefore, egger saw through the tricks of Williams construction group at a glance, and ignored several auctions organized by Williams construction group.

Mark said that now that the real estate market is in a sharp recession, anyone's decision to buy a business center with more than a billion dollars is hopelessly stupid.

So Williams Construction Group missed several auctions.

There was once a buyer who successfully took the photo with 1.5 billion, but finally abstained. Under the miserable environment of the housing market, any means are useless. People just want to sell their property as soon as possible before falling into the street.

Williams construction group can sell the center to mm, but the price must be reasonable. Mm can't kill fools. Mm has plenty of money. Money is uncle these days.

Mark's price for the Williams center is one billion. If you agree, start. As for the other party's psychological price of 1.5 billion, the two sides can't agree.

The world is bad. Viacom intends to sell UPN TV network, and MM is the potential main buyer they think, because only mm can get so much cash and be interested in UPN.

Warner can sell chicken rib WB TV station. Why can't paramount sell UPN? Besides, Mr. fund's specialty is to lay off staff and peel off non-performing assets, so as to make shareholders profit in a difficult world.

This time is different from the last time. Paramount offered to sell UPN TV network to the parent company. Such a clear-cut chief executive won the favor of Lei Shidong. Last time, paramount wanted to sell pun. Like selling his JJ eggs, he cried, made trouble and hanged three times, which made Lei Shidong very upset. The current fund grid caters to the above, and the main proposal is made, This makes leishidong feel great.

Paramount TV was founded as early as the film company. Its predecessor was radio. It started late and has been unable to compare with several major TV stations. In 1976, a new team trained by radio took over the post of paramount president. This team combines Barry Diller, who is called "killer Diller" by the media, as well as Michael Eisner, Jeffrey cassenberg, dawn stie and don Simpson. They are all the top leaders in Hollywood in the future.

At this time, the characteristics of paramount's works are more concise, such as the "high sensibility picture" used in weekend night fever and grease. Based on his TV station's birth background, Barry Diller proposed his business strategy to the board of directors of the parent company western Gulf oil company: to establish a fourth business network, but the board of directors and bludorn did not adopt it, Martin Davis, the successor of bludorn (not mark's "gay friend", but another man with the same name and surname), is the same. After bludorn's sudden death, Davis closed other industries of paramount TV network, focusing on mining, sugar sidelines and focusing on running the company. In 1984, Diller changed jobs and went to 21st century fox, Because his boss Murdoch is more interested in the idea of Diller's fourth business network.

After Diller, it was the era of joint administration of Stanley Jaffe and Shirley Lansing, and it was also one of the brilliant times of paramount. Six of paramount's ten best-selling films were launched at this time.

After leishidong bought paramount that year, he integrated Viacom's television stations to form a new national television network, paramount United television network, which reached Barry Diller's vision in the 1970s. Paramount's brilliant decade also benefited from pun's efforts. However, with the parent company's acquisition of CBS, the super television network, pun's status became weak, Performance began to plummet.

Decades old rival WB TV network can be sold to mm. What's the problem with pun? It can be said that WB TV network has set an example for pun.

As a super large enterprise, it has a large number of enterprises. Stripping off assets can not only reduce expenditure, but also cash in profits. Many companies are doing so. The key is the right price.

This time, Viacom dowman came out and took the initiative to hook up with egger. Although their blockbuster and Naifei fought happily and lost a lot, business is business. One pile belongs to another. In addition, blockbuster and Naifei are a gentleman's dispute. Everyone has legal and fair competition, no black hand, no conspiracy, and no greeting to each other's mother, Therefore, there is still some superficial harmony.

Mm gave a warm response to Viacom vice president daoman's temptation. They did not hide their desire to have a real and powerful TV network. Mm has today's momentum and scale through a series of mergers and acquisitions. They did not lower the price because Viacom took the initiative to put forward it. Their offer remained unchanged and increased by several percentage points on the basis of last year, This is completely in line with Viacom's psychological expectations.

Daoman excitedly went back to report that the blind date was very successful and that nine out of ten marriages could be made.

Lei Shidong is satisfied with this. This is the material for doing big things. If you are like those Hicks who haggle over two or three peanuts all day, you can't do big things. The hateful has a bad market and has no competitors. You can't sit down and start the price and kill mm.

Now the starting price is unrealistic. Mm already has its own TV network. For pun, they don't have an earlier sense of urgency. They just hope to integrate the resources of pun TV network into mm TV network, expand their momentum and scale and increase their competitiveness.

After owning mm TV network, they are still in the process of expansion. They have been lobbying and harassing the joining and M & A of local TV stations to shorten their distance from the four major TV networks as much as possible. Pun only speeds up this speed. Mm spends money to buy time, not wronged.

Their quotation is higher than the market price, but it is not too expensive. For pun, they can buy or not. Anyway, there are not many buyers who can afford pun, and there is no competition.

Of course, they will not be foolish to lower the price. Viacom has no reason to sell. Without an appropriate offer, they can't impress the tycoon leishidong, so they put forward an appropriate offer at the beginning to show their sincerity to the enjoyment, hoping to facilitate the transaction.

Mm is growing rapidly through rapid M & A. they will not change this way for a long time in the future.
