American Fortune Life

"How about it?"

"Confirmed, at a valuation of 2 billion US dollars, a total of 51% of the shares including Morris Greenberg and the Hearst Group were acquired, and Amanda Hearst personally holds 8%.

Just now another shareholder called and asked us if we wanted his shares. If not, he would choose to agree to Andy Smith's offer. He has now started to clear the market.

According to his previous acquisition cases, although he is willing to trust professional managers, what he likes to say most is to leave professional matters to professional people, but the prerequisite is that the company is under his complete control. Although he is young, he controls YU very well. Strong, very domineering, in order to hit his opponents, he is even willing to suffer losses until he squeezes out all opponents! We have no escape route, either we inject capital to guarantee the proportion of shares, or we are slowly diluted by him and become an outsider. "

"What do you think Tom?"

"He has already prepared everything, even the mid-level managers of the TV station. When I left, they had already been installed in various departments. It is difficult to make small moves. Even if we do, we will lose again. There was no other way, it was too sudden, he had bought it for several days, and he didn't leak any news.

The CEO of Rainbow Holdings looked at the wry smile on Tom's face, and after pondering for a while, "You should stay at the headquarters first. At the board meeting in the afternoon, everyone is discussing whether to continue investing. What about the TV station we have established for more than ten years?" It’s impossible for someone else to just take it away…”

Although this is what I said, everyone sitting here knows that this is the disadvantage of too scattered shares. In order to quickly expand their strength and do not want to invest more, such problems will naturally arise in external financing, and there is no way to do it. What's the fight back, employee loyalty? Hehe, if you can earn more money without losing your job, then you will be loyal again.

The news of AMC's chairman and CEO changing hands has spread throughout the AMC cable station and its affiliated state and local stations. Andy's "To All AMC Members" emails have also been sent out. Seeing Andy's wealth and wealth, with such a rich boss, it is only a matter of time before the TV station catches up with HBO.

The production center, which has been stuck with funding for a long time, can finally feel elated. With an allocation of 100 million US dollars, "Mad Men" can begin filming immediately.

The same thing happened. In the afternoon, the people in the production center received the notification that the plan submitted by "Mad Men" was approved, and the funds were in place at the same time, and the efficiency was many times faster than in the past.

After the management video conference, Andy left the AMC cable TV station after confirming that the think tank had mastered the finance department and the legal department.

Amanda came to work at the TV station not simply to get close to Andy, but more because she wanted to exercise, so she quickly got into work and didn't pester him too much.

Back in the Newsweek Building, Andy bought himself a cigar, put his feet on the desk, lay back on the back of the boss chair, squinted his eyes slightly, and began to sort out all matter.

4 billion US dollars plus 700 million Morgan Stanley's preferred stock contracts have been turned into paper gold, which is used to mortgage 5 billion US dollars, 489 million Goldman Sachs and 978 million Deutsche Bank CDO swap agreement insurance loans from Citibank 1.5 billion dollars.

With a total of 6.5 billion US dollars in cash, he spent 500 million US dollars of his own capital as a leveraged buyout for the acquisition of Marvel. Although there are certain risks, as long as he continues to make profits, he can complete a classic acquisition case that is small and big.

Instead, it was AMC Cable TV that cost him a lot of money, 1.1 billion US dollars. Although it was all bank money, it still had to pay interest.

3 billion In Liberty City Investment Company, Bardstone led a group of JING heroes with dollar signs in their eyes to attack around the stock market, staged the final madness.

Miscellaneous expenses, the current cost of the Sky Palace private jet is 200 million US dollars, the Quicksilver super yacht costs 100 million US dollars, the 120,000-acre super farm that is being discussed is also 60 million, and the yacht plus farm for Theron is 20 million. The yachts of Lima and Scarlett are 5 million each, and three limited edition Ferraris. . .

By the way, there are also Ali's shares, the funds that Li Xiaoying took away, the acquisition of a model agency, and other miscellaneous expenses that cost about 600 million US dollars.

Now he still has 1.3 billion US dollars in cash in his account, lying down and sleeping, well, and the plan of his sports company, it should take a lot of money to implement, and finally he doesn’t feel heartbroken to be robbed by the US government taxed.

The United States collects taxes globally. As long as you are a U.S. citizen, no matter which country you are in, you will be taxed. Why does Apple’s headquarters in the United States often lose money in its accounts, and a large amount of cash is placed in foreign transit companies? The reason why they don't move to the United States is because they don't want to pay taxes.

After 9/11, the United States also added a predatory tax, anti-terrorism tax, compulsory collection, damn, what kind of bullshit is this! Otherwise, where would Washington get so much money to start one war after another.

Andy will not pay a penny more if he spends it all.

Of course, you don’t need to pay taxes on the money you earn from buying stocks and bonds. This is also the result of Wall Street spending a total of 5 billion dollars in lobbying funds in the past 10 years. This is why big investment banks would rather give bonuses to their employees, because it is better to win over the loyalty of their own employees than to pay taxes.

Everyone says that in the United States, there is a way to avoid punishment if you are targeted by any department, but the IRS, once you are determined to be targeted by them, there is no other way but to pay the penalty honestly, let alone This money, even the war money of some mercenary companies and the bloody money looted from the war zone, Nima has to obediently pay taxes.

The predecessor of the IRS was established by Lincoln to support consumption during the Civil War. During this period, many farmers and factory owners were unwilling to pay taxes, concealed their income, and even violently resisted the water. For the needs of the war, the tax agency was given the right to mobilize the army. Armed with water.

Later, this authority was retained and improved. The tax department of the United States has its own armed organization with all kinds of weapons, prison cells, courts, and property freezing without application. Power, the FBI can't bring down the boss of the gangsters, the CIA can't deal with the transnational criminal drug lords, and they can't escape the hell gate of the IRS.

So, "don't mess with the IRS"! If you really want to fix a person in the United States, you don’t need to do anything else, just go to the IRS, because the tax laws in the United States are many and complicated, and without a professional team to take care of them, it is inevitable that there will be mistakes.

At about four o'clock, there was a knock on the door of the office, and the little assistant came in and said to Andy, "Boss, someone from Apple has come to deliver a mobile phone."

"Well, let him in." Andy put his feet down, straightened the folds of his shirt, and sat up straight.

Soon, a man in a suit with a suitcase came in with a smile, "Hi, Mr. Smith, this is the love crazy phone for you..."

Andy shook hands with the other party. When the other party opened the suitcase and took out more than a dozen 8G Love Crazy 1, which will be on sale at 18:00 tomorrow afternoon, and wanted to explain it to Andy, Andy smiled and shook his head and refused. He was sent away with a slightly confused expression.

"Choose one to play." Andy continued to lie on the boss chair in a lazy posture, and started playing "Fruit Swordsman" with his mobile phone. The sound effect of one vibration is perfect.

Tori directly took out a mobile phone from the suitcase, closed the case, and put it aside, PI Dian Pi Dian ran out to play with the new mobile phone.

Andy, who was trying to play "Minecraft", was interrupted by another knock on the door. He put the mobile phone on the table and said in a deep voice, "Come in."

Seeing that the little assistant walked in with a displeased face, Andy said, "Why don't you use the answering machine?"

"That McMullen has come over, waiting outside with a woman in the rest area..." Tori was very upset, the damn bastard, even gave the big devil LA skin TIAO, and that fox-like face Little bitch.

Andy frowned slightly, remembering McMullen's strange phone call the day before yesterday, "Let them in."

Seeing the pouting little assistant walk out of the office twisting her waist, she shook her head angrily, "Is Lulana Korshunova..."
