Disney: $172.835 billion.

Warner Media Group (Time Warner): $77.27 billion.

21st Century Fox: $54.9 billion.

Comcast (Global Parent Company): Market value is US$178 billion.

Sony (the parent company of Sony Columbia): market value is US$40 billion.

Viacom (paramon's parent company) has a market value of US$14.2 billion. (Not mistaken, less than one-tenth of Disney's)

Lionsgate Film Market Value: US$4 billion

This is the market value of several major Hollywood companies that Abel learned from Alftley after a call.

There are many Hollywood film and television companies with a certain influence, but those that are not listed and private companies, as well as those with too low market value, are excluded.

These are the only ones who can enter the eyes of Abel.

This is the recent market value of these large companies and is also the top companies with the greatest influence in Hollywood.

Below, there are small film and television entertainment companies such as searchlights. And then, below are some independent film production companies with market value of millions or tens of millions of dollars.

For example, STX Entertainment, Open Road Films, etc.

In addition to these traditional film and television companies.

In 2016, Hollywood and media also squeezed into a giant.

American Telephone and Telegraph Corporation (AT&T) is a telecommunications company founded in 1877 and has long monopolized the federal long-distance and local telephone markets.

Its status in the federal government is similar to that in China's China Mobile and Telecommunications. However, Mobile and Telecom can only operate their own industries honestly. In addition to the telecommunications industry, AT&T has also entered many other industries.

Although it seems a bit unemployed, in 2016, AT&T officially entered the media industry and acquired Time Warner, one of the Hollywood giants, at a premium of 85 billion US dollars. And changed Time Warner's name to Warner Media Group.

If we count from the head office, the New Era Warner, which relies on at&t, has a total value that is definitely higher than Disney.

Its latest market value is US$222.488 billion, an undisputed giant.

But then again, the market value of these film and television companies is completely incomparable to those giants on the Internet.

Even after this time, the US stock market has fallen seriously. Any Internet giants will take out any of them, and their market value is the sum of the top ten film and television groups!

After finishing the call with Alvertley, Abel put down his cell phone and fell into deep thought.

If you want to really enter Hollywood, media, and film and television industry.

Excluding the fact that you don’t want to run a good job, the fastest and best way is to acquire a film and television company.

Among the situations of these film and television companies he learned from Alvertley, he excluded Disney and New Era Warner, which are currently unaffordable.

Sony Film and Television should not be sold.

Comcast, the parent company of Universal Film and Television, is also a giant. Universal has made so much money in recent years, and there is no reason for Comcast to sell such a money tree.

Then there are only Paramount and Lions Gate, which have the lowest market value.

Although the former's market value is as high as US$14.2 billion, Abel's current cash flow is about 20 billion, and all-cash acquisitions are fine.

The latter is cheaper.

The market value is only nearly US$4 billion. Although it has been delisted, if you want to acquire it, you can also acquire shares from his shareholders.

But Lionsgate Entertainment is no longer the same as before. When they launched the Hunger Games, the company even vaguely became one of the seven new Hollywood stars.

But then it withered.

Half-dead delisting, although there are still some good movies released, it is impossible to catch up with the remaining six giants in Hollywood.

Its specific ranking should be the first among the top six.

Another Viacom (Paramount), although its market value is very low, has not ranked so high in recent years.

However, the current market value of this company is a very suitable company for Abel.

Because of this decline in US stocks, Viacom's total market value has fallen from around US$17 billion to US$18 billion to around US$14.2 billion.

Because the price is cheap enough, Abel can afford it now. He has a strong interest in Viacom, which allows Alvertile to understand some of Viacom's shareholding situation.

Alvertley quickly obtained some of the current shareholders of Viacom through his own channels.

The first shareholder is undoubtedly the largest shareholder of Viacom, Summer Redstone, who personally holds 11.022%.

The second place is an institution, American Pioneer Group, the world's largest non-fee fund family, and the world's second largest fund management company.

The third shareholder, Pioneer Group, has only about 6% of the shares, the fourth place is only about 4%, the fifth place is only about 3%, the sixth place is about 2%, and the seventh place is about 1%.

Judging from the proportion of this shareholder, its shares are super scattered.

But this kind of dispersion is actually the normal shareholding ratio of large companies in the United States.

The larger the market value of a company, the larger the proportion of shareholders they have, the more dispersed they have.

There are only a few shareholders like Blue Star Future, and they are almost very rare except for startup companies.

Just like Lao Ma in China, he only owns about 8% of Ali's shares, but this does not hinder his control over the company, nor does it prevent him from becoming one of the richest people in China for a time.

"14.2 billion!"

Abel became interested in Viacom.

Because with his current cash flow, he can completely buy Viacom without relying on anyone and using cash.

His current cash is close to 20 billion US dollars. If he uses this amount of money to make full use of it, there will be no problem in acquiring Viacom.

Even if it is a 20% premium, it will only cost about US$17 billion.

He can now take out this fund.

Because even if he uses 17 billion US dollars, he still has nearly 3 billion US dollars in cash flow, and after the contract between Fidelity and the two major funds is signed, he can still obtain about 3 billion US dollars in cash from them.

If you really want to acquire it.

It's ready to expand now!

Abel has always been an action faction.

He will do the decided things right away.

He re-dialed Albertel.

A few seconds later.

"Ar. Gradually absorbs Viacom's stock on the market!"

Alfretley's sudden breath came from the other end of the phone.

"BOSS. Do you want to invest in short term or hold it for a long time?"

“Is there any difference?”

"If you invest in the short term, I will support you 100% with your eyes. But if you hold it for a long term, these entertainment companies are not very suitable."

"This time I don't play short-term, and I don't play long-term. What I want to do this is to become the boss behind one of the six major Hollywood players!"

Alfretley, opposite the phone, paused.

"No problem! Boss!"

"Very good! First diversify your investment and absorb Viacom's stocks scattered on the market."

"Okay! No problem! The US stock market is so recession now. I believe that many people who own stocks will be happy when we do this!"

"What are you waiting for?"

Abel hung up the phone.

Turn around.

I saw a pair of shiny eyes lying on the ground and looking at myself excitedly.

The mantis girl, who felt like she was falling apart, widened her eyes and looked at Abel incredibly.

She whispered incrediblely: "You want to acquire Paramount?!"

"What's wrong? I can't? I don't have money. I can still easily take out Viacom's money!"

"call……"

The mantis girl took a deep breath.

Regardless of her fatigue and her body sticky and dry white paste, she showed a charming smile.

Climbed over.

Take off Abel's shorts from his waist.

Then the heads began to fall together.

Feel the warmth and tolerance, as well as the meticulous service of the Mantis Girl.

Abel took a deep breath.

It seems that the acquisition of Viacom must be executed immediately. I was worried that the Mantis girl who had resisted and was unhappy in role-playing just now would have trouble afterwards.

Because the Mantis girl was penetrated by Elizabeth and Karen Gillan just now.

She cried at that time. First, although she was prepared in her heart, she looked a little forced, and even a normal woman would not like it. Second, it was too big and couldn't stand it and it hurt.

Now when I heard that Abel wanted to acquire Viacom, he would probably become Paramount's boss.

The attitudes of the Mantis girl are different.

Tsk...this is Hollywood!
