Chapter 635 [Before Disney goes public! 】
In Los Angeles, Wu Guangyao and Kaila visited their family in Wu Xianlei's villa.
Looking at the two running children on the ground and the daughter-in-law holding a baby in her hands, Wu Guangyao felt that Wu Xianlei had inherited his own views;
"In terms of the number of children, you are the most similar to what I have learned!" Wu Guangyao couldn't help but quip.
"Kelly and I like children more, so we should take advantage of our youth and raise more!" Wu Xianlei said 'not honestly'.
In fact, Wu Xianlei wants to learn from his father and mother that he wants to have more children, so that he can have no shortage of heirs in the future.
Kelly dislikes discussing this topic because she knows that her father-in-law is a passionate person, with several women and dozens of children;
I can only hope that my husband will never learn from his father;
But Kelly likes her father-in-law to teach her husband more because she knows that this is related to the family's wealth growth.
Wu Guangyao nodded, not exposing his son's normal idea!
"Disney has developed quite well in your hands. It seems you have put in a lot of thought!"
"It's all my father's guidance, and the family office gave me a lot of suggestions!"
Wu Guangyao changed his style and said, "But I think there are still some problems with Disney's management. I won't talk about the specifics, because I am not a professional management talent; so I recommend a talent to you and you can find him to be your assistant!"
Wu Xianlei never doubted his father's 'Bole' ability, so he spoke without hesitation: "Father, you said!"
Wu Guangyao nodded and said, "It's Michael Eisner, vice president of ABC. You go and dig him up and appoint him as president of Disney."
Wu Xianlei asked: "My father thinks he has a great effect on our acquisition of ABC?"
Never forget, this is what Wu Xianlei thinks about ABC;
But Wu Guangyao knew that he had to do it step by step, otherwise it would be difficult to succeed!
Wu Guangyao shook his head and said, "No, he is an operational expert. He can bring out the real value of Disney; you should understand that in the five years you acquired Disney, you have not used the wealth value that Disney itself has."
This is the fact that Disney's real value is those children's publications such as cartoon images, videos, comic strips, and videos;
In 1979, Disney's annual turnover was US$2 billion and its profit was US$210 million;
Among them, Disneyland contributed 90% of Disneyland's profits, and this profit model is still too monotonous.
In his previous life, when Michael Eisner was in charge of Disney, Disneyland's profit was only 70% of that of the Disney Kingdom, which increased many other ways of profit.
Seeing that his father admired Michael Eisner so much, Wu Guangyao immediately wanted to go to the American Radio and Television Company to poach people, and he did not doubt his father's vision at all.
"I will meet Mr. Michael Eisner in the near future, hoping to get him to join!"
.........
On October 20, on the eve of President Reagan's coming to power.
The Ritz-Carlton Hotel in New York held a cocktail party, which was about a cocktail party before Disney was launched.
Disney has to go public, and there are too many reasons for listing, but there is no reason not to go public;
Need enough connections to shout for the next acquisition of ABC;
It requires sufficient funds to provide huge funds for the next acquisition.........
According to the US listing law, a company needs to have a sufficient number of shareholders before listing, and the shareholding ratio of a single major shareholder shall not be higher than 75%, and the shares shall not be higher than 66.7% after listing.
Therefore, before listing, it became inevitable to take out some of the shares in the hands;
Wu Xianlei needs to sell his 25% stake to meet the listing conditions;
First of all, Roy Disney will definitely subscribe to a part, after all, his surname is Disney;
As for other candidates for sale, they are naturally the candidates for allies!
Wu Guangyao and Kaila also attended the cocktail party. In addition to some representatives of major consortiums in the United States, there are even Reagan, who is about to become the President of the United States.
This is entirely President Reagan giving Wu Xianlei a face to thank Wu Xianlei for his advice and support in recent years!
Of course, this return is not enough for Wu Xianlei's efforts, but Reagan has promised Wu Xianlei many times that after he comes to power, he will be Wu Xianlei's supporter.
This is the real reward!
At the beginning of the cocktail party, Wu Xianlei was the first to introduce Wu Guangyao and his wife to Reagan;
"Father, mother, this is Mr. Reagan, the next president of the United States!" Wu Xianlei introduced openly.
Reagan obviously knew that Wu Xianlei's family was not through investigation, but was mentioned by Wu Xianlei on his own initiative.
Reagan stretched out his right hand and said, "Mr. Wu, Miss Kayla, I often hear you two, that are the richest people in the world!"
Although Reagan was 69 years old, he looked much younger, and he was obviously a cheerful person.
Wu Guangyao stretched out his right hand and responded: "Then Mr. Reagan must be the most powerful person in the world!"
Reagan laughed cheerfully when he heard this!
"Several people, what can be so funny? Can I join in?" A male voice came, and could use such words to insert into the chat group. He was obviously a chaebol-level figure.
"It turned out to be Mr. Richard Mellon, of course you are welcome to join!" Reagan said cheerfully.
The Mellon family was Republican supporters, and Richard Mellon began to be involved in Republican politics during the 1964 presidential election; later, the Watergate incident disillusioned him (he donated $1 million to Nixon in the 1972 election).
But Richard Mellon is not a supporter of Reagan because there were several people in this Republican election, and Reagan was not the one with the most advantage.
But if Richard Mellon could get Reagan today, he would naturally be very happy!
Of course, the most important protagonist today is of course Wu Xianlei;
It was clearly a company that had been poorly managed for a long time, but now it has rejuvenated and has become a super company that major consortiums are eager to invest in.
Therefore, at today's cocktail party, everyone's most eagerness is to buy original shares from Wu Guangyao!
After chatting about Disney for a while, Richard Mellon said to Wu Guangyao again: "Mr. Wu, if your Star Hotel Management is listed, I believe it will definitely become the next Disney, and it will be even more popular!"
This is nonsense!
The investment in Xingyao Hotel management alone has reached more than 3 billion US dollars. If the market value is not 6 billion US dollars, wouldn’t Wu Guangyao lose to death!
Disney's valuation this time is only about US$4.5 billion, after all, it has not exploded yet!
Wu Guangyao smiled and said, "If I want to go public, I would like to welcome Mellon Consortium to invest! But now, it is obvious that the time is not yet ripe! Even if the time is ripe, it is probably going to be split and listed separately."
When Richard Mellon heard that there was hope, he immediately felt spirited and said: "Split up and listing is also very high-quality stocks, such as the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, the Westin Hotel, and the Shangri-La Hotel, are all world-famous luxury hotel brands! If you really want to go public, please consider our Mellon Consortium."
Wu Guangyao nodded. Wu Guangyao was not resistant to Mellon Consortium;
In other words, in my own eyes, no consortium is enough to make Wu Guangyao afraid;
Then it doesn’t matter who you work with!
At the cocktail party, Wu Xianlei was very busy. Wu Guangyao looked at his performance from a distance and felt very proud;
Chapter completed!
