Chapter 1023 The Empire Group shocked the world by swallowing up Hollywood giants!
Australian media tycoon Rupert Murdoch only spent US$20 million to acquire half of the shares of 5.75th Century Fox Film Company, which is equivalent to US$20 billion purchased by 11.5th Century Fox Film Company.
Now, Empire Group has acquired MGM-United Artists for US$13.5 billion, and the acquisition price paid is really not low.
Yang Ming mainly considered that MGM-United Artists Film Company has a lot of copyrights and its influence is not low.
The most important thing is that both Imperial Group and Krikorian are satisfied with the purchase price.
. . .
Some time ago.
Imperial Corporation just spent $8.5 million to acquire all ownership of Marvel Comics.
Today, Empire Group once again acquired the ownership of MGM-United Artists Pictures at a high price of US$13.5 billion.
In 1985, these two acquisitions were definitely the largest acquisitions in the world.
Not long ago, the Empire Group shocked the world just after it acquired Marvel Comics.
This time, the Imperial Group swallowed up the Hollywood film giant MGM-United Artists at a higher price. After word spread, it quickly shocked the world.
. . .
Hong Kong.
Empire State Building.
Yang Ming's Future Capital represented Yang Ming and Empire Group after signing the acquisition contract with Krikorian and other shareholders of MGM and United Artists.
The Imperial Group Cabinet, including Cabinet General Manager Mai Lisi, and other cabinet members, including Ma Shimin, Wei Li, Li Caixin and others attended the press conference.
at a press conference.
Meris announced two important acquisitions by Imperial Group in Country M.
One was the acquisition of Marvel Comics by Empire Group for US$8.5 million.
One time is that the Imperial Group just acquired the Hollywood film giant MGM-United Artists for US$13.5 billion.
The total value of these two acquisitions is US$22 billion, or nearly HK$172 billion.
This is also the largest acquisition by Imperial Group in recent years.
Most importantly, this means that the Empire Group's diversified investment once again involves the film and television industry of M country, especially the Hollywood industry.
This news, just announced by Merlis, immediately shocked the Xiangjiang reporters present.
For these reporters from Hong Kong, it is already a big deal for Chinese people, and even movie stars from Hong Kong, to appear in Hollywood movies.
No idea.
Now Sir Yang actually swallowed up the Hollywood film giant MGM-United Artists.
What an extraordinary thing!
Reporters present were shocked.
After they spread the news, all walks of life in Hong Kong were even more shocked.
. . .
Heung Kong Private Hospital.
Bao Yugang had surgery in early June.
The surgeon was personally invited by Zheng Weijian from Country M, so the operation was very successful.
After Bao Yugang's surgery, he was still very weak and had to stay in a private hospital to recuperate.
The news that Bao Yugang had cancer was spread even though he wanted to keep it hidden.
At this time, all walks of life in Hong Kong also knew that Bao Yugang had cancer, but they didn't know how long he could live.
For those Xiangjiang citizens, what they are most interested in may be how Bao Yugang's four daughters and four sons-in-law will be divided up now that he has this terminal illness.
This also involves some listed companies, so those investors are even more concerned.
At this time, the division of the Bao family's property had not been announced to the public. Bao Yugang was recuperating here, and many people from Xiangjiang came to see him.
"Father, big news."
Wu Guangzhen knew that his father had just undergone surgery and would never be the same again.
Even the wounds from the surgery have not fully recovered, so we cannot be overjoyed or sad.
Wu Guangzhen had suppressed his surprise.
He just got some news that shocked him.
Sir Yang, chairman of Empire Group, has just acquired the Hollywood film giant MGM-United Artists.
The acquisition cost US$13.5 billion, nearly HK$101 billion.
If he hadn't known that the Imperial Group was wealthy, he would have thought that Sir Yang was going to transfer Xiangjiang's property to Country M.
Now that the imperial group cabinet has officially announced the news, it must be true in Wu Guangzhen's opinion.
This news was quickly spread by major media in country M.
"Guang Zhen, what's the big news?"
Bao Yu had just finished the operation, his face was a little pale, and he still felt pain frequently.
"Sir Young bought the Hollywood film giant MGM-United Artists."
Sir Young buys Hollywood studios?
Bao Yugang was not too surprised.
Before Yang Ming left for Country M, he had already come to tell Bao Yugang, but at that time Sir Yang did not tell Bao Yugang what he was going to do in Country M.
"Guang Zhen, it's normal for Sir Yang to acquire companies in Country M."
"Father, this time Sir Yang spent 22 billion US dollars, nearly 172 billion Hong Kong dollars, on his acquisition of Country M. This is very terrifying."
$22 million?
172 billion Hong Kong dollars?
This is really scary.
According to the current total assets of the Bao family, it is just over 30 billion Hong Kong dollars.
This is indeed far behind the Imperial Group, or even Sir Yang.
"Guang Zhen, Sir Yang has that strength."
Bao Yugang was happy for Sir Yang and proud of the Chinese.
Today, the Imperial Group has officially swallowed up MGM-United Artists. From Bao Yugang's point of view, this was something that he had never dared to think of before, but Sir Yang did it.
It seemed that before he left, the Bao family would really have to be handed over to Sir Yang.
. . .
Except for Bao Yugang and Wu Guangzhen, they were shocked.
The other wealthy people in Xiangjiang were all shocked when they heard the news.
Except these.
Xiangjiang was the most shocked.
It is the film and television industry in Hong Kong.
Many years ago, Empire Group not only acquired Asia Television and established Asia Film Company, but this was only in Hong Kong.
But this time, the Empire Group went out of Hong Kong and Asia and directly acquired the world's most influential Hollywood film giant, MGM-United Artists.
It's impossible for Hong Kong's film and television industry, including celebrities and actors big and small, not to be shocked.
TVB headquarters building.
Mr. Shao Yifu, TVB’s largest shareholder and chairman of TVB, was at work when there was a knock on the door.
When the secretary opened the door and found that it was Fang Yihua, the female secretary hurriedly got out of the way.
"Sir, big news." Fang Yihua walked in and said.
"Miss Fang, what's the matter?"
Normally in the company, Shao Yifu just calls each other Miss Fang, but no one at TVB knows about their relationship.
"Empire Corporation announced its acquisition of Hollywood film giant MGM-United Artists."
Shao Yifu, who was wearing glasses, was shocked for a long time when he heard the news. He didn't even notice when the pen in his hand fell.
However, he already knew that he and Sir Yang were not on the same level at all.
He is still thinking about how to regain Xiangjiang's ratings, but Sir Yang has already set his sights on Hollywood.
Of course, the Imperial Group is extremely wealthy and cannot be compared with TVB.
