Chapter 632 I Have Already Seen Through Everything

The bald man was one of the most notorious corporate snipers of the 1980s, Ron Perelman.

The wolf of Wall Street quickly amassed a fortune of more than a billion dollars in the 1980s' takeover wave, most notably the $150 million takeover of the Revlon Cosmetics company worth more than $1 billion. , because of its aggressive acquisitions, almost every acquisition will lead to lawsuits.

However, since De Chong Securities, known for issuing junk bonds, was forcibly liquidated by the federal government due to a large number of debt defaults in 1990, Ron Perelman, who is closely related to De Chong Securities, has also begun to restrain himself, but only only It is a superficial restraint. As a wolf of Wall Street waiting for an opportunity to catch prey at any time, its nature of waiting for an opportunity is absolutely impossible to change.

Recently, Ron Perelman was keenly aware of the arrival of another opportunity, so he quickly purchased the long-term bonds of Firefly Group with US$400 million through the Andrews Holding Company in his hand, and contacted the firefly Group's internal wind. The other two important figures of Disney Animation Department Peter Schneider and Disney Animation Department Art Advisor Roy Disney, who is also a member of the Disney family.

When Peter Schneider heard Ron Perelman's tone of showing off his private jet, he was envious, and at the same time decided to ask Eric Williams for the Disney animation department to equip business jets in the next negotiation. .

Since the "Lion King" box office explosion, Peter Schneider has felt an unprecedented ease in recent days.

In the past two years, Disney's hand-drawn animation department, including his director, has had enough of the contempt of the group headquarters. The 2D animations they make are not much worse than Pixar's 3D animations. Even several of the animations topped Pixar's two 3D animations at the box office. However, the treatment of the two departments is very different. Pixar has a luxurious office park, but they can only squeeze in a dilapidated office building in Burbank, Pixar employees have generous salaries and dividends, their average salary is less than $50,000, and Pixar's production budget is almost There is no limit, their departmental budget is pitiful, and Pixar is constantly expanding its scale, but they are facing the fate of being abolished.

all of these. There should be an explanation!

∵∠style_txt; Peter Schneider thought bitterly in his heart again, and at the same time couldn't help imagining some scenes of Eric Williams, who had been put out by himself, sitting in the office.

With the current popularity of "The Lion King", whether it is internal or external media, there is no doubt that this 2D animation can not only create an unprecedented box office miracle, but also easily earn money for Firefly Group in the next five years. Over $1 billion in net profit.

$1 billion, what a concept!

I am afraid that the profits generated by the two 3D animations that Pixar has produced are combined together.

There will never be a billion dollars either.

Therefore, most people who pay attention to this storm do not believe that Eric Williams will continue to implement the original plan of abolition and reform.

Although Firefly Group's external rhetoric is still sticking to the original plan, Peter Schneider believes it. Even the stupidest person can't dismantle a production department that makes more than $1 billion in animated films. The current situation is definitely just a delaying plan by Eric Williams, just out of the arrogance and stubbornness of young people and the stingy instinct of capitalists. Eric Williams must have realized the series of fatal mistakes he made to Disney's hand-drawn animation department, but he didn't want to pay too much compensation later, so he took this obvious delay.

However, Peter Schneider and Roy Disney, who thought they had seen through everything, would never let Eric Williams, a greedy capitalist, succeed.

They have made up their minds, this time not only to get the treatment and salary they deserve, but also to pay Eric Williams enough compensation, otherwise, they will definitely let Eric Williams taste The bitter fruit of losing Disney's animation department.

Ron Perelman's luxury motorhome arrived at a holiday home in East Hampton more than an hour later.

Letting the two guests into his study, Ron Perelman smiled and took out the cigars that had been prepared, and handed them to the two respectively, saying, "Try it, this is authentically rolled on Chu Neody's thighs. Cuban cigars."

Peter Schneider and Roy Disney each took one, put it under their noses and sniffed, then took the cigar scissors and matches from Ron Perelman, lit them and smoked them with enjoyment. .

Ron Perelman did the same, blew out a smoke ring comfortably, and said quietly: "Unfortunately, this is just a cigar that has been drawn on the legs of the sputum, not the real sputum. It is estimated that it can only reach the Only in Eric Williams' position can you enjoy countless neodymiums."

Peter Schneider sneered and said disdainfully, "There's no such thing as a neodymium in Hollywood."

Roy Disney, who was more mature and prudent, frowned slightly when he heard Peter Schneider's angry remorse.

If you are easily affected by the person in front of you, then they will definitely not gain much in the cooperation negotiation. From the moment we met, Ron Perelman's attitude has always been very eager, even a little flattering, but Roy Disney is not stupid enough to think that the other party is a good man, who was also a Wall Street sniper in the 1980s. Sol Steinberg's hostile takeover of Disney caused Disney to redeem its shares at a premium of almost 200%. The bald man in front of him has a much worse reputation than Saul Steinberg.

Once again, Roy Disney put down the cigar in his hand and said, "Mr. Perelman..."

"Ron, just call me Ron," Ron Perelman continued to smile with a Maitreya gesture: "I think we will definitely become friends and partners in the future."

Roy Disney didn't struggle with this issue, and said, "Well, Ron, you should know that our cooperation with you to deal with your own parent company is a complete betrayal. If you don't pay attention, you may be swept out of the house for nothing. So, I And Peter needs to know all your plans, all. If you hide anything, our cooperation will be cancelled immediately."

Ron Perelman did not immediately answer Roy Disney's question, but instead said in a complimenting tone: "Since the two of you are here, I think you must have formed an offensive and defensive relationship with all the employees of Disney's animation department. Alliance, the Firefly Group will never be unaware of this, and with the current situation, even if they find out that you are in contact with me, they will not dare to take the risk of offending public anger and fire you."

Obviously, Ron Perelman agrees with most people. Eric Williams will not only abolish the hand-painted animation department, but will increase his efforts to prevent this piece of fat from falling into the hands of others. The draw in the hand-drawn animation department. Ron Perelman made a massive $400 million bet this time, and that's exactly what he's betting on.

When Roy Disney heard Ron Perelman say this, he just smiled incomprehensibly.

Peter Schneider blurted out a little proudly: "Of course, we..."

Fortunately, Peter Schneider was not a fool. He felt that Roy Disney, who was beside him, suddenly kicked him a few times in the leg, and immediately closed his mouth, not revealing any more things.

Ron Perelman has discovered at this time that if there is only Peter Schneider alone, he can definitely play this guy to the death. Unfortunately, with the old fox Roy Disney, he has to fight ten times. The spirit of the two points, made a wait gesture, got up and walked to the file cabinet next to him, took out a document that had been prepared and distributed it to the two, saying: "At this point, Andrews Holding Company has mastered the firefly. The group has a long-term bond of US$400 million, so the performance of Firefly will also affect the interests of our creditors. Although Firefly Group has been very profitable in recent years, everyone knows that whether it is a film business or a TV business, its Profit prospects are all very volatile. In our own interests, we will never allow our shareholders who control Firefly to arbitrarily abolish or overhaul their lucrative business units.”

Roy Disney ignored Ron Perelman's seemingly righteous remarks, but keenly grabbed a detail and asked, "What do you mean when you said 'we' just now?"

Ron Perelman did not detour at all and explained: "Of course, I have many creditors of Firefly Group."

Peter Schneider opened his mouth, but this time he did not speak rashly. Roy Disney was not in a hurry to investigate the other creditors that Ron Perelman had mentioned. He reached out to the other party and said, "OK, please continue."

"According to the information I got," Ron Perelman continued as if he didn't mind being interrupted, "Next month will be the month when Firefly Group releases its first-half financial report. Next month will also be the moment when Firefly Group's 80% US dollar bond sale is completed. By then, the total accumulated debt of Firefly Group will reach US$10 billion, equivalent to 30% of its total market value, for the principal and interest of this huge debt of 10 billion US dollars Repayment is fully guaranteed..." Ron Perelman paused, his shiny face suddenly became a little fanatical, and slowly stated his ultimate goal: "I hope that at that time, all creditors will unite , and publicly put pressure on Firefly Group to enter the Firefly Board of Directors as a creditor." (To be continued.)
