"European is just a smoke bomb, and no one of Polykin and Europeans can detect this fact. Therefore, this smoke bomb is limited to the four of us who know, Charlie, during the negotiation process, you don't need to show any tendency and let the team play independently."

"Actually, boss, I'm wondering, can we take Polykin and EMI together?"

"What do you think?"

"Not yet, antitrust institutions in Europe and North America will not pass. However, the operating conditions of BD has been very bad in recent years. Last year's revenue was equivalent to US$1.53 billion, and it lost 46 million. Including the current fiscal year, which has not improved, BD will suffer losses for at least three consecutive years. If we continue, I think BD will take the initiative to seek buyers for acquisitions."

"Then we have to look forward to how many more years of Evergrande can hold on. After Daenerys acquires Polygin, it will definitely attract other companies' attention to the record industry."

"Well...it seems to be the case."

"I don't think it's possible. It's unrealistic to win Polykin and PHD at the same time. Even if a few years apart, other companies may be able to eat two of them one after another, but for us, the possibility of allowing them at the regulatory level is very low. After completing the merger and acquisition of Polykin, we can already obtain a huge music copyright inventory and nearly 30% of the global music market share. All Daenerys needs to do is to continue to develop and consolidate on this basis."

"You can also eat some shrimp."

"That's right."

Daenerys Cinema, a conference room in Building 1, Administrative District.

Even though it was Saturday, Simon was still working.

The main reason is that the old man asked the family to go to Australia for Christmas. Once they set off, they could not return at least after the New Year.

Simon needs to arrange some work here before departure.

What is being discussed is the upcoming acquisition of Daenerys for one of the global record giants Polakin.

There were only four people in the conference room, including Simon, Pascal, Nancy Brill and Daenerys Records CEO Richard Palmes.

After the end of the last fiscal year in early October, Daenerys finalized a plan to expand his music business, targeting Polygon, a European record industry giant. In the past two months, Daenerys has quietly completed the preparation process of the early acquisition team formation and due diligence for Polygon. He has even drafted a letter of intent to acquire, and only after New Year's Day formally started contact and negotiations with Polygon.

After Richard Palmes and other bosses talked to Nancy Brill, they took the conversation at the right time: "Simon, my question is, what if Polykin sees through our intentions or insists on a high offer that we cannot accept, then what should we do? Will we turn to Evergrande?"

Polykin and PHD, each of which had a full fiscal year cycle, were converted into US dollars, which was converted into US dollars, which was equivalent to 2.21 billion yuan, with a net profit of 219 million yuan, while the latter had revenue of 1.53 billion yuan and a loss of 46 million yuan. Affected by revenue performance and the overall sluggish environment of the record industry, Polykin's current market value was equivalent to 7.6 billion US dollars, while PHD was equivalent to 4.3 billion US dollars.

The gap is obvious.

Simon shook his head directly: "$10 billion is our quotation limit for Polygon. If we cannot achieve our goal, we will give up temporarily and not acquire any of them. The record industry is generally downward, time is beneficial to us, and it is unlikely that the industry will have higher quotations than us."

Everyone continued to discuss some details and the meeting ended.

Nancy Brill went downstairs with Simon, the small senior executive was standing side by side in the elevator with a thick folder in his arms, tilting his head slightly upward at the man beside him.

Simon felt Nancy's look and asked with a smile: "Did I become handsome again?"

"It's even more mysterious," Nancy didn't dodge Simon's eyes and looked at him: "Boss, do you know in advance that the box office results of "Titanic" will be very good?"

"yes."

Nancy: “…”

The small senior executive is a little depressed. You admit it directly. How do you ask me to list all the clues I found?

Don't play by the rules.

So I could only ask: "Then, boss, how much do you think the box office of "Titanic" can be?"

Simon said seriously: "It's at least 200 million locally, 500 to 600 million globally. You can get the money by selling a little bit of subsequent video tapes and DVDs."

"boss?"

"Um?"

"Has anyone ever said you're hypocritical?"

"I know this myself."

Nancy: “…”

Simon said with a smile on his lips, "If I were too honest, I would scare you poor and tiny earthlings."

Nancy looked helpless: "Boss, can you be more serious?"

"A very cruel reality is that serious men are not liked by women. Just like me, if I am serious... no, except for someone as dazzling as me. In short, if it is another serious man, you may not even have the interest to talk to him."

Nancy simply took back the gaze with Simon, stood up straight and looked ahead, intending to stop talking to a guy before leaving the elevator.

When we arrived downstairs, both of us were going to the second floor office area, where there was already a black car waiting.

Walking from here to the next few hundred meters is really a waste of time, but there are also many electric cars in the park, and there are only one that needs to be a sedan after a few steps, just this one.

The bodyguard opened the car door, and Nancy hesitated a little, but then sat in.

When the car started, the man around him started to look through a draft acquisition agreement for South Korea's Samsung Electronics in a timely manner. Nancy waited for a while, raised her hand and pressed the block in the front row. She confirmed that the two bodyguards in the front row could not hear it, and then said again: "Boss, are you afraid that someone will attack you?"

"Um."

"Aren't you very powerful?"

Simon didn't raise his head and joked halfway: "It's because you Earthlings are too weak to stop bullets."

Nancy resisted the urge to roll her eyes and deliberately glanced at the documents in the man's hands a few more times. Seeing that he was not shy about it, she lost interest and continued to ask: "Boss, what's going on in "Titanic"? I was able to fall backwards under the pressure of "Flash 2" yesterday. I'm really curious?"

Speaking of this, Nancy glanced at Simon's side face and couldn't help but add: "I discovered that, boss, from the beginning, you have been very supportive and even indulged in this project. Did you know it would succeed?"

Simon turned his head and looked at the small senior executive beside him: "So, what kind of answer do you want?"

Nancy raised her hand and gestured for a moment, and her eyes looked at Simon tightly again: "Boss, to be honest, do you have some ability to predict the future?"

Simon was quite determined: "No."

After saying that, he withdrew his gaze and continued to read the documents in front of him.

Nancy looked at a guy for a moment, then suddenly said, "Boss, aren't you very tired after hiding your secrets like this?"

Feeling the inexplicable softness in Nancy's tone, Simon looked up again and smiled at the small senior executive beside him.

Look at each other slightly and lean over.

Nancy subconsciously avoided and felt the man continue to approach. She took the initiative to meet him by chance.

Then I felt my nose kissed.

After staying mistyly for a moment, Nancy suddenly felt a little upset when she realized that some guy had turned his attention to the documents in front of her again.

just.

It must be because she is too small, she should have kissed her lips.

Then he felt a little angry again.

Bastard, can’t you accommodate yourself and lower your head?

Also, if you don’t answer, you don’t answer, and you actually use such clumsy means to change the topic. It’s really abominable!

After his cheeks were so hot that Nancy suddenly understood something.

The mysterious and wonderful things around him seemed to have not concealed them at least for those familiar people around him. He just would never admit it.

anyway.

Now, what should I do?

Isn’t kissing a nose considered a kiss? Can it be considered as nothing happened after kissing?

From the third floor to the second floor of the cinema, it is not far.

The car stopped quickly.

The bodyguards who got out of the car in the front row came out of the window. They just opened the car door a little and were immediately pulled up by Nancy in the car. The tactful bodyguards immediately gave up and greeted the other side. The two bodyguards quietly retreated outside the window.

Simon looked up and saw Nancy staring at him with bright eyes and asked, "Why don't you get off?"

"You just kissed me."

"Oh, sorry," Simon said with a sincere look on his face, "To be honest, you should find a boyfriend."

Boy friend?

Is this human word?!

Nancy's eyes widened, and then her small body burst out with great strength, grabbed someone's arm, and bit it down.

The two bodyguards standing nearby saw the black car trembling suddenly, looked at each other, and quickly turned around. Because of the one-way membrane of the car window, they could not see the inside of the car, but they could see outside in the car, and it would be bad if they were misunderstood by the boss.

However, the two of them couldn't help but sigh after turning around.
Chapter completed!
