Next, Dunn met with New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
Just as Dunn expected, Michael Bloomberg was skeptical about selling Bloomberg: "You want to buy Bloomberg? No, it's impossible! I won't sell my child."
Tang En said with a smile: "I'm not asking you to sell the child, but to help you raise the child together in a better way. New Global will use the form of stock exchange for mergers and acquisitions."
"Stocks?" Michael Bloomberg shook his head, "As far as I know, New Universal has not been listed, and Bloomberg is also a private company."
"But there's always a market valuation, isn't there?"
"New Universal is valued at $170 billion?"
"That's right."
"This is too exaggerated!" Michael Bloomberg shook his head frequently. "Doesn't this mean that the market value of New Universal is more than the combined market value of Time Warner and News Corporation? The valuation is inflated!"
In his opinion, although Bloomberg is small, its future prospects may not be worse than New Global.
And the current market valuation of New Universal is 170 billion US dollars, the valuation of Bloomberg is less than 20 billion US dollars, the gap is too big.
Tang En said solemnly: "Is the valuation of 170 billion US dollars very high? Haven't you seen our financial statements? To be honest, when New Global is listed next year, 200 billion US dollars will not be able to stop it. New Global There are Dolby Laboratories, Blizzard, imax and Facebook, these high-tech companies have great potential.”
Michael Bloomberg said indifferently: "I'm sorry, I have no plans to sell Bloomberg."
"As far as I know, in the past few years when you were mayor, New York's economy has recovered very well, but Bloomberg's performance has declined."
"It's a small problem, but I don't think it's difficult to solve."
"Didn't you change your career to politics?"
"No one can say what will happen in the future."
Dunn laughed and said, "When you leave your post as mayor of New York in the future, will you return to Bloomberg?"
Michael Bloomberg just glanced at him and said nothing.
Bloomberg has rules.
Refusing to hire anyone who has worked at Bloomberg and wants to come back.
If Michael Bloomberg leaves the position of mayor of New York in the future and continues to go back to lead Bloomberg, wouldn't he be breaking the rules he made?
Tang En sternly said: "Mr. Mayor, you should know that News Corporation is working hard to acquire Dow Jones. With News Corporation's capital operation and channel publicity, Dow Jones' performance... Maybe there will be a significant improvement. , Bloomberg's life is only going to get harder."
Michael Bloomberg said with a smile: "I don't know enough about New Universal, give me some time."
This is a polite refusal.
He won't sell Bloomberg, at least until New Universal goes public.
The two had lunch together.
It was in the cafeteria of the government affairs hall. It was very simple, very plain.
During the meal, a staff member of the city government came over, "Is that Mr. Walker?"
"Oh, hello, I'm Dunn."
Dunn got up politely and shook hands with him.
"I'm Richard. I want to ask you something about Hollywood."
"Okay, you can say it."
"Do you know the actress Alexandra Daddario?"
"what?"
Tang En was stunned for a moment, with a suspicious look on his face.
Michael Bloomberg next to him explained: "That's her daughter."
Dunn's face changed suddenly.
It turns out that this dude is Alexandra Daddario, the father, Richard Daddario!
"Cough cough... Well, I seem to have heard of it." Dunn was a little guilty. Now Alexandra Daddario lives in his villa No. 6. Before coming to New York, he even made an appointment. As for her, it was a wonderful experience.
Richard Daddario was surprised at first, then sighed, "This daughter of mine... makes me particularly disappointed."
"What's wrong?"
"In order to get an acting opportunity, he moved in with a big Hollywood figure."
Dunn's feet were soft and he almost fell.
Omg!
Richard Daddario said: "I am particularly disappointed by this. I feel that my daughter's education has been humiliated in the past ten years. I never thought my daughter would do such a thing."
Tang En bit the bullet and said, "Not really, maybe...Are they in love?"
"It's not love! She confessed to me that she was with a big Hollywood figure, and besides the chance to get a movie role, she could also get a sum of money."
"Oh, I see."
Tang En pretended to be calm, but his heart was a little flustered.
No, you can't reveal the stuffing!
This is the New York City government, the home of others.
Besides, it's really disgraceful that I slept with someone else's girl.
Fortunately, Richard Daddario didn't notice anything, and said seriously: "I had a big fight with my daughter, and she said it was very normal in Hollywood."
Tang En nodded immediately, "Well, it's quite common. Actresses, especially young and beautiful actresses, if they want to gain a chance to become famous, they must have the support of internal bigwigs. Many well-known Hollywood stars also come here. of."
Richard Daddario said: "Maybe, I can understand. But my family doesn't allow this to happen, Mr. Walker, can you check it out for me? That bag...the one who lives with my daughter. Who is the man? Isn't it a bad old man older than me?"
Tang En embarrassedly said: "Isn't it? The big men in Hollywood are not all old guys Richard Daddario smiled and said: "Yeah, you just very young. "
Tang En quickly turned a straight face and said solemnly: "No problem, don't worry. When I get back to Los Angeles, I will find someone to ask what is going on."
"Thank you very much then."
"Hehe, you're welcome."
When Richard Daddario turned around and left, Dunn let out a sigh of relief.
Michael Bloomberg, who was sitting across from him, had a half-smiling expression on his face, "I have met his daughter twice, a very beautiful young man."
Tang En pretended to be calm and said, "Well, it's true, it's very beautiful."
"Especially the eyes."
"Yes, it's like a cat's eye, very charming."
"If I remember correctly, she doesn't seem to have acted in any movies, right? I'm curious, how did you know her?"
Dunn snorted, "you forgot what I do? Apart from being a businessman, I'm also a film director. It happened that Alexandra Daddario participated in my film audition."
"Oh? Is that so?"
"That's it."
"Maybe."
"Okay, let's talk about Bloomberg."
"Are you related to her?"
"No!"
