Chapter 542 Capital has no feelings

Zhuke spent a large sum of $70 million to acquire Vita Digital, and the news spread instantly.

The speed is amazing!

Originally, Vita Digital is now at the forefront, and Zhuke spent $500 million to trigger news. Now the strong alliance is not the effect of 11=2, but the result far exceeding "2".

Immediately, a reporter asked at a press conference: "Mr. Wald, I am Molly, a reporter from The United New Zealand. As far as I know, you had already led a team to inspect Vita Digital before 20th Century Fox and Paramount visited Vita Digital."

"Yes." Zhuke nodded and admitted.

The female reporter Molly asked: "So, why did you not open the acquisition offer until today?"

As soon as this problem arose, the entire press conference became quiet.

The media reporters who were originally a little noisy were also quietly waiting for Zhuke's answer. After all, they were quite interested in this.

Zhu Ke smiled and said, "Shouldn't I do more investigations for acquiring a company? I'm proposing an acquisition now, is there any problem?"

After a pause, he said, "Of course, I know you want to ask, why did I announce the news when companies such as 20th Century Fox and Paramount are about to settle?"

The female reporter Molly nodded immediately as if pounding garlic.

Others nodded.

Zhuke spread his hands: "There is no effect between the two."

Female reporter Molly: "..."

She felt like she was fooled by Zucker.

Zhuke smiled but said nothing. The female reporter Molly dug a hole for Zhuke and asked some guidance, but who is Zhuke? He is a very old world and has been tested by the media for a long time.

Soon, the press conference ended.

However... the storm has just begun!

After the press conference, investor teams such as 20th Century Fox, Paramount, and John Dull held meetings as soon as possible to discuss countermeasures.

The easiest thing is of course Vita Digital!

Richard Taylor said happily: "Peter, we must celebrate tonight with a bottle of champagne."

Peter Jackson nodded quickly and laughed: "Man, you're right. Juke Wald personally came in and intervened, which shows that he was optimistic about us. With this, our Vita Digital will be even more valuable!"

After saying that, the two of them immediately opened a bottle of champagne and drank it against each other, regardless of the other people's shocked eyes.

"When I bought this bottle of wine for $20,000 in 1994, I wanted to drink it more than once, but it was too expensive. But now it's different! It won't take long before both of us will be millionaires."

Richard Taylor was feeling a little emotional.

After drinking the glass of wine, Jackson also sighed: "At the beginning of the company's establishment, we only had one computer, and the only people were me and you."

The development of Vita Digital is not smooth sailing either!

"Now the company has a total of 120 employees and a temporary recruitment of more than 80 people. A large group of Hollywood giants and Wall Street people have spoken out of 50 million, 60 million, 70 million, and even more."

“Until now, I have a dreamy feeling.”

Jackson looked at the old guy and smiled: "I believe that after "Lord of the Rings" is released, even if we, Vita Digital, will rise rapidly without these giants, but I think being acquired is a matter of more benefits than disadvantages."

Whether it is Jackson or Richard, they do not exclude the company from being acquired.

Without it, the special effects company is too expensive!

They are almost unable to afford the company.

......

At 8 p.m. that day.

In the hotel where Zucker stayed, he met with Lachlan Murdoch, the eldest son of the Murdoch family.

"Before you speak, I will ask you first, is it your own wish or your father's wish?" Zhu Ke said straight to the point.

As soon as he finished speaking, Lachlan's expression changed suddenly.

"I understand, it was your father Rupert who asked you to come, so just say it." Zhuke lies on the back of the sofa casually, and his whole body is very relaxed.

Do you despise him?

No!

But because Lachlan Murdoch is not qualified to have an equal conversation with Zucker!

When it comes to assets, wealth, and social influence, Zucker is much stronger than Lachlan, and is even worse than his father, Murdoch, and is especially better in personal wealth.

Lachland took a deep breath, adjusted his mood, and said, "You are right. I don't want to come to see you, it was my father who insisted on letting me come."

Zucker nodded.

"Mr. Wald, you want to acquire Vita Digital, and our News Corp is optimistic. My father means that it will be beneficial to both sides," said Lachlan.

Zucker narrowed his eyes.

The so-called "union will benefit both parties" means that the two parties jointly invest, jointly acquire Vita Digital, and divide the shares. Of course, who is the dominant power, this needs to be discussed separately.

......

Two days later.

"What?"

"You say it again!"

John Dull's expression changed suddenly.

"Sir, just now, Wald Pictures, a subsidiary of Kingshuguang Entertainment Group, and 20th Century Fox Film, a subsidiary of News Group, officially announced to the public that it would jointly acquire Vita Digital!" A Wall Street person said with a serious expression.

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire team was shocked.

A bald middle-aged man said in a shocked moment: "They are playing rogues!"

A middle-aged female elite gritted her teeth and said, "Whether it is 20th Century Fox Films or Wald Pictures, they are all Hollywood giant companies, and they are attractive to special effects companies like Vita Digital, but now? They are united!"

"This is to drive us out and clear the scene!"

Wald Pictures and 20th Century Fox Pictures have completely eliminated the idea of ​​a number of Wall Street investors.

......

A few more days passed.

"I'll sign the contract!"

Under the witness of a number of lawyers, Peter Jackson officially signed the acquisition contract on behalf of Vita Digital.

Zhuke smiled: "It should have been like this long ago."

Lachlan Murdoch: "In this way, we will be close partners in the future."

20th Century Fox Film and Wald Pictures jointly invested $50 million to acquire 90% of Vita Digital's equity.

$50 million?

Don't be puzzled, this is the price!

Richard whispered: "Peter, this price is OK, we won't lose."

Peter Jackson nodded and said in a deep voice: "I know, but I'm still a little unwilling. You should know that the original price has risen to $70 million and $80 million, but now? It's only $50 million, and we have suffered a lot of losses."

The price is 10 million to 30 million US dollars less, and anyone will be in a mood.

But Peter Jackson is also helpless!

20th Century Fox Film and Wald Pictures, the two companies, joined forces to drive away a number of Wall Street investors, and with the support of New Zealand, how can Vita Digital resist?

Unless Vita Digital does not want to be on the official support list!

And most importantly, he, Peter Jackson, cannot afford to offend two companies, 20th Century Fox Films and Wald Pictures.

Even if he has Disney support, it will not be of any use.

How can he resist the strength of a giant company? Peter Jackson has little arms and legs?

Zhuke looked at Peter Jackson with a resentful expression and said in his heart: "If you can't resist, just pinch your nose and accept it obediently. Capital has no feelings."
