American Fortune Life

"If Buffett wants to complete the acquisition, we guess, he will reach a deal at a price that is 30% to 40% higher than the stock price on that day, that is, the US stock market is around $100, and Burlington North St. Duffy itself has a debt of 10 billion US dollars, and Buffett must bear all of this part of the debt.

So to complete this acquisition, Berkshire Hathaway will eventually need to pay 44 billion U.S. dollars to achieve the goal. According to the information we have, Warren Buffett previously held a total of 40 billion U.S. dollars in cash, that is to say, he It is almost necessary to do everything you can.

However, this acquisition model is definitely not the choice of both parties. The original shareholders of Northern Santa Fe will not choose all cash settlements. After all, Berkshire Hathaway’s stock is very high-quality stock. Warren Buffett is unwilling to hand over the shares of Berkshire Hathaway, but in order to complete the transaction, he will inevitably meet the requirements of the other party and complete the acquisition in the form of a large amount of cash and stocks! "

After the meeting ended, Andy returned to the office, lazily nestled in the boss chair, crossed his hands in front of him, and listened to the more detailed report from Alvitre, who was sitting opposite, and Bardstone, who was sitting on the side, Also listening quietly.

These words are what Andy thinks is the most valuable, and it is also the most important reason why he is willing to spend money to support the think tank. You must know that just collecting some data and doing data analysis, I am sorry for the richness that Andy gives them every year Remuneration, more importantly, is accurate analysis and prediction, providing key testimony in advance for the decision made by his boss.

"How much is our purchase price?" Andy asked Al, frowning, tapping his fingers on the table casually.

"70-73 US dollars, a total of more than 900 million US dollars was spent." Bardstone on the side replied, and Liberty City Investment Company led by him is better at attracting funds in the secondary market, so these operations are all Bardstone was in charge, and the specific situation became clearer.

"That is to say, when Buffett buys it, he can earn four to five billion dollars..." Andy frowned a little dissatisfied. Although the income was already considerable, Andy Smith, who never disliked a lot of money, How could it be possible to meet this profit under the premise of knowing that it can be ripped off.

"What about the gains from this attack on News Corporation?"

"2.173 billion."

"Tsk tsk, that's not too much." Andy smacked his lips a few times, turned his eyes to Bardstone, and said indifferently, you must know that the two cities of the United States and Australia combined, this time News Corp. has shrunk by 140. 100 million U.S. dollars, and my subordinates only grabbed less than 2.2 billion U.S. dollars. The results are really not good.

Hearing the dissatisfaction in the boss's words, Bardstone couldn't help explaining with a wry smile: "Boss, we are not the only short sellers, and Murdoch used a lot of money to buy back stocks, which supported the stock price of News Corporation. We The income this time is already very generous, after all, the newspapers and periodicals that have problems this time are only a small part of News Corporation's industry, and it is impossible to deal a heavier blow to News Corporation."

Andy naturally knows the risks of short-selling and hedging, especially since the target company still has a lot of funds to buy back stocks. This is undoubtedly a money tug-of-war. In my personal account, the remaining 2 billion and 1 billion are used to continue to acquire the shares of the Northern Santa Fe Railroad Company, and the remaining 1 billion are used to continue to acquire the shares of Starbucks, Qualcomm and Costco.

Since you want to eat slowly, you can't stop it. When the market falls, people will naturally sell their stocks impatiently. "

"Okay, boss." Bardstone nodded in response.

"That's it. I'm going to Seattle today. In the next period of time, I'll leave the affairs in New York to you to keep an eye on for me. If you have anything to do, just call." Andy told him.

"Understood." X2

After sending off the two most capable subordinates, Andy opened the folder on the desk to look through the files,

He reached out and pressed the answering machine on the side, and said flatly, "Tori, tell the people from Universal Music, let them bring someone over..."

After looking at the time on the watch, he continued: "Give them three hours to shoot and get them ready. Don't waste my time."

"Okay boss, I'll call them right away."

After releasing the answer button, Andy continued to look at the file. It would take him several days to fly to Seattle this time. His music album has already been recorded, and now there are only a few mvs left and the photo collection is constantly delayed.

For the filming of the mv, Andy has already decided not to appear on the screen, let the people from Universal Music to make a fuss, but shooting promotional posters, music covers, and included photo collections, there is no way to be lazy and perfunctory.

This album is very likely to be his only music album. At this point, fans of both Universal Music and Andy Smith have guessed. Therefore, the production of this album, Universal Music treated it with the idea of ​​creating an absolute high-quality product, and came up with a collection edition and a commemorative edition of his signature photo to collect money. What is speechless is that Andy's fans are still very fond of this set, and everyone left a message Looking forward to the release of the album.

It has to be said that it is really easy to make money under the fan economy. For this, Andy does not want his fans to be taken advantage of and consume his popularity. Can spare as much time as possible to cooperate with Universal Music's money-making gimmicks. After all, Andy Smith has never been polite when it comes to splitting the money.

Since he joined hands with Cheryl and Shakira to perfectly perform "Hall of Fame" at White Hart Lane, Andy's album has become the most anticipated music album by music fans around the world, starting with "IFYOU" Well, almost none of Andy's songs are bad songs. Although they can't be said to be hits, they are definitely classics and widely sung.

Although the album has not yet been released, "Rolling Stone" magazine has predicted that Andy's album may be expected to break the record for the fastest platinum sales. How popular is his album.

If it hadn't been for Andy's firm stop, Universal Music would have unscrupulously started pre-sales in advance.

Speaking of this matter, Andy is also dumbfounded. His fans leave messages on his INS and Universal Pictures' official INS and Facebook almost every day, urging the production speed of the album and hoping to release it soon. This urges people If the number is too high, Universal Music will be jealous. They are eager to sell more, so it's like starting the pre-sale directly.

Andy also knows his own business. The album is going to be released, but he doesn't know that he has to wait a few months, and the pre-sale is a few months in advance. Isn't this looking for trouble?

Therefore, he will definitely not agree. The patience of fans can be worn down slowly, but once the fans are sad and feel cheated, it will be fatal. It is easy for fans to turn black.

When the filming team of Universal Music arrived in a hurry, Andy also cooperated very much to start filming. With Andy's current status and status, naturally there is no need to wear some fancy clothes, find some special scenes to enhance the 13 grid.

Is there any more compelling scene than the office of the richest man in the world?

What's more, Andy feels that he just walks around casually and makes a few moves casually, that's enough. Who made him so rich!

So, for a while, I leaned forward with my hands on the desk, with a stern face, exuding an oppressive aura, and for a while, I stood in front of the sunny French window, pinched my chin, pretended to be in deep thought, and nestled lazily. On the sofa, cross your hands in front of you, stare into the distance, and wander in the sky. . .

"Perfect!" the photographer exclaimed with a smile, looking at the photo on the computer monitor. And Andy just smiled.

"Boss, if you take a few photos of swimming, it will definitely drive the fans crazy." The little assistant who looked at the photos suddenly smiled at Andy and suggested that the photographers and Universal Music staff all His eyes were bright, and he looked at Andy with a very hopeful look.

"Bad idea!" Andy gave the little assistant an angry look. He is the richest man in the world and a successful entrepreneur. If he really took that kind of photo deliberately, it would be inferior. Even if the fans like it, he can't do it Do something out of character.

Sometimes, it's not that he is hypocritical or arrogant, but that after he has reached a certain height, he can't mess around at will. Although Andy doesn't care about other people's ridicule, there is no need to do it deliberately, freedom is he.

I insist on my freedom, I like my freedom, who made me Andy Smith!
