"If Buffett wants to complete the acquisition, we suspect that he will reach a deal at the price of 30-40% of the stock price on that day, that is, the U.S. stock is about $100, while Burlington Northern Santa Fe has $10 billion of debt. Buffett must also bear all of this debt.
In order to complete the acquisition, Berkshire Hathaway will finally need to pay $44 billion to achieve its goal. According to the information we have, Warren Buffett had a total of $40 billion in cash before, that is to say, he almost needs to do his best.
However, this kind of acquisition mode is not for both parties to choose. The original shareholders of Northern Santa Fe will not choose to settle all the cash. After all, the shares of Berkshire Hathaway are very high-quality shares. Even if Warren Buffett is not willing to hand over the shares of Berkshire Hathaway, in order to complete the transaction, he will certainly meet the requirements of the other party A large amount of cash plus shares to complete the acquisition! "
At the end of the meeting, Andy came back to the office. He was a little lazy in the boss's chair, with his hands crossed in front of him. He listened to the more detailed report of alvette, who was sitting opposite him. Badstone, who was sitting beside him, was also listening quietly.
These words are the most valuable for Andy, and the most important reason why he is willing to spend money to support a think tank. To know how to collect data and do data analysis, I'm sorry that Andy pays them a lot every year. More importantly, it's accurate analysis and prediction to provide key testimony in advance for the decisions made by his boss.
"How much is our purchase price?" Andy fingered the table casually and frowned at al.
"Between $70 and $73, more than $900 million has been spent." On one side, Mr. bardstone said that he was better at attracting funds in the secondary market or the freecity investment company he led, so these operations are in the charge of Mr. bardstone, and the specific situation is more clear.
"That is to say, when Buffett buys it, he will make four or five billion dollars..." Andy frowns a little bit unsatisfied. Although the income has been considerable, Andy Smith, who never thinks much of money, can meet the income on the premise that he knows he can rip off.
"What about the sniper news group?"
"2.173 billion."
"Tut Tut, not much." Andy smashed his mouth a few times, looked at bardstone, and said faintly, to know that when the two cities of the United States and Turkey Australia add up, the news corporation has shrunk by 14 billion dollars this time, and his staff has robbed less than 2.2 billion dollars. The result of the war is really not good.
Badstone was not satisfied with his boss's words and explained with a wry smile: "boss, we are not the only short sellers, and Murdoch used a lot of money to buy back shares, which supported the stock price of news group. Our earnings this time have been very rich. After all, the newspaper in question is only a small industry of news group, which is fundamental It can't give News Corporation a more serious blow. "
Andy naturally also knows the risk of short hedging, especially the target company has a lot of money to buy back shares, which is undoubtedly a money saw war. "In this way, three million yuan will be used as bonus, 170 million yuan will be put into my private account, the remaining two billion yuan and one billion yuan will be used to continue to buy shares of Northern Santa Fe Railway Company, and the remaining one billion yuan will be used to continue to buy shares of Northern Santa Fe Railway Company Starbucks, Qualcomm and Costco.
Since we want to nibble at it slowly, we can't stop it. As soon as the market falls, there will be some people who can't hold their breath to sell their stocks. "
"OK, boss. "Bardstone nodded in response.
"That's it. I'm going to give it to Seattle today. In the next period of time, I'll leave you to help me watch the affairs in New York. If there's anything, just call." Andy asked.
"I see." X2
send two of the most powerful subordinates away. Andy opens the folder on his desk and looks through the documents. He reaches out and presses the answering machine on one side, and lightly says, "Torry, please inform the people of universal music and let them bring people here..."
After looking at the time on the watch, he continued, "give them three hours to shoot and get them ready. Don't delay my time."
"Good boss, I'll call them right away."
Release the answer button, Andy continues to look at the file, his flight to Seattle, and several days later, his music album has been recorded, and now there are only a few MV and collection of portraits work continuously delayed.
Andy has decided not to appear in the production of MV, let the people of universal music go to the trouble, but there is no way to be lazy and perfunctory when shooting posters, music covers and attached collection photos.
This album is likely to be his only music album. At this point, both the fans of universal music and Andy Smith have guessed. Therefore, the production of this album, universal music, in line with the idea of creating absolute quality products, has made an additional collection version and commemorative version of his signature to earn money, while the wordless one is Andy The fans of are also very eating this set, one by one, they are very looking forward to the release of the album.It has to be said that fans can make money easily in the economy. For this, Andy doesn't want his fans to be unfair and consume their popularity. Therefore, in order to make fans feel more valuable when they buy, he can only make time to cooperate with global music's money making gimmick as much as possible. After all, Andy Smith has never been polite when making money.
Since he joined hands with Cheryl and Shakira to perform "Hall of fame" perfectly in white deer Lane stadium, Andy's album, as well as a music album that fans all over the world are looking forward to most. Since "if you", almost none of Andy's songs are bad songs. Although it can't be said that the first song is hot, the absolute one in the capital is classic and widely sung.
Although the album hasn't been released yet, Rolling Stone magazine has predicted that Andy's album is likely to break the record of platinum sales as soon as possible, but few people will question this view. It can be seen that Andy's album, which hasn't been released yet, has reached a level of fire.
If it wasn't for Andy to stop it, universal music would have started to sell in advance.
Speaking of this, Andy can't cry or laugh. His fans leave messages on his ins and universal's official ins and Facebook almost every day, urging the production speed of the album, hoping to go to the market quickly. As soon as the number of people who are urged increases, universal music will be very popular. They are eager to sell more, so it's like they start to pre sell directly.
Andy also knows his own business. The album is going to be released. I don't know how many months to wait and how many months to pre sell. Isn't that what he's looking for?
Therefore, he will not agree with it. The patience of fans can be slowly sharpened, but once it makes fans sad and feel cheated, it is fatal. It's easy for fans to turn black.
When the shooting team of universal music came, Andy also started the shooting work with great cooperation. In his current identity and status, he naturally didn't need to wear some fancy clothes. He found some special scenes to improve 13 spaces.
What's more compelling than the office of the richest man in the world?
What's more, Andy feels that he's just walking around and making a few moves. That's enough. Who makes him so rich!
So, at one time, I support my hands on the desk, lean forward, look cold and oppressive, at the other time, I stand in front of the sun shining floor window, hold my chin, make a meditative, lazy nest in the sofa, cross my hands in front of me, look far away, and swim in the sky...
"Perfect!" The photographer looked at the pictures on the computer monitor and said with a smile. And Andy just smiled.
"Boss, if you take a few pictures of swimming, it will definitely make fans crazy." Looking at the picture, the assistant suddenly looked at Andy with a smile. He suggested that the photographer beside and the staff of universal music all had their eyes bright and looked at Andy with great expectation.
"Bad idea!" Andy is the richest man in the world. He is a successful entrepreneur. If you take that kind of picture deliberately, it will be inferior. Even if fans like it, he can't do things that don't match his identity.
Sometimes, it's not his affectation or arrogance, but when he really reaches a certain height, he can't be random. Although Andy doesn't care about other people's ridicule and ridicule, he really doesn't need to do it deliberately. He is free.
I insist on my freedom, I like my freedom, who let me be Andy Smith!
