The cash gap of about 1.1 billion US dollars is not a problem for Firefly, which has abundant cash flow. If the Firefly Group takes action, all problems will be solved naturally.

However, Eric did not plan to let Firefly participate in this merger from the very beginning. What's more, Eric had planned to invest all the spare funds of Firefly Group into high-tech companies such as Yahoo. Get distracted, and progress in other areas will definitely be hindered.

After thinking for a while, Eric took out his mobile phone and dialed Emily Brighton.

The performance of the ltd group in the past two years has been very good, and it has a retail network such as Wei Mi Neiyi chain stores, and the cash flow is also very abundant. The Group's long-term debt. In this case, it is also a good idea to let ltd participate in this merger. Although Eric is the major shareholder of ltd, this share is held by Firefly Investment. At least, in terms of equity, the future MGM and Firefly Group will not have any connection.

After the call was connected, Eric greeted him and asked bluntly, "Emily, are you interested in investing in Hollywood?"

Amy Pascal sat quietly on the sofa, listening to Eric and Emily discuss on the phone for more than ten minutes, and when Eric hung up, she already knew the result.

"$600 million," Eric said to Amy after hanging up the phone, "the ltd side can probably come up with $600 million, and there is probably a gap of $500 million left."

"If the next museum is good enough at the box office. With the rights to several films in the hands of Flower Pictures, we have enough leverage to solve the remaining funds through debt financing," Amy said. "But this cycle needs at least three more months. Credit Lyon no longer has any initiative in the transaction price, and they will definitely not make any concessions on the payment deadline for the acquisition.”

Eric thought about it. He said, "If Vivendi wants to, let them get involved. Forget Kerkorian, bringing in this kind of person will only add to the controversy."

As he was talking, Drew came downstairs with the twins, each of whom was pulling a suitcase in his hand.

After hugging Amy, Drew squeezed close to Eric, took his arm, and asked, "Where did you talk about?"

Eric's arm gripped the girl's restless little paw. Laughing: "Regarding the financing, I intend to involve ltd and Vivendi,

what do you think"

"Well, it's up to you to decide," Drew nodded, without any intention of questioning Eric's decision.

Amy said: "Eric, I don't think Vivendi will be satisfied with the remaining $500 million share."

"There's only so much, and if they don't want to, we'll get in touch with the investment firms on Wall Street. I think there's a low chance they'll say no, and either Vivendi or Kerkorian knows how to force us to get MGM. At that time, both Huahua Pictures and DreamWorks will withdraw, and they will only end up in a mess, so cooperation is the only way to join this merger," Eric said, thought for a while, and added: "Buy MGM After that, they will definitely need to integrate DreamWorks, if they are really not satisfied. At that time, the 30% shares of DreamWorks owned by Firefly can also be transferred to them.”

Amy nodded. Drew asked: "Eric, if so. Isn't our control over the company getting weaker and weaker?"

With several major copyrights in their hands, Huahua Pictures and DreamWorks are worth about $1 billion. MGM’s stock price has been sluggish due to its high debt, and it is hovering on the verge of bankruptcy most of the time. At this time, the shares of 75 Credit Bank Lyon are about 1.5 billion US dollars, and MGM still has 25 outstanding shares, with a total market value of 2 billion US dollars.

Eric doesn't know exactly how much MGM's total equity is. But simply looking at the market value of several companies, a total of 4 billion US dollars can be counted as 40 shares. Huahua Pictures is completely in the hands of Drew and counted as 10 shares. In this acquisition, Huahua Pictures invested 400 million US dollars and ltd invested 600 million US dollars, can buy 10 shares. Then, after the merger is completed in the future, Eric will still occupy 50% of the new company's shares, which is enough to firmly control the new company.

Talking about these data with Drew and Amy, Eric said: "Although there may be major shareholders like Vivendi, the equity of the new company will be very scattered in the future, and it is difficult for other small shareholders to affect the company's operations. , the shares we hold have been able to form absolute control. Even after the merger is completed, the company can also issue about 10 additional shares to raise operating funds, which will still not affect the control.”

These days, Bill Gates has a feeling of miscalculation very often in his heart, and this feeling is getting stronger and stronger.

It all stems from that contract signed with Yahoo last year.

Although Microsoft got a contract to acquire 30 stakes in Yahoo in 1999, as inds95's market prospects are more confident, perhaps it will not happen today.

As the release time of inds95 has been confirmed on August 24th, Microsoft's publicity department has already made a plan to broadcast the conference live by satellite. By then, hundreds of thousands of people will watch the release of inds95 through satellite signals. It will also be broadcast on the ab TV network. Of course, Microsoft can afford the related expenses. However, without the direct support of strong executives, it is not easy for Microsoft to obtain broadcast opportunities on the three major TV networks.

On the stage, after Jeff Locke introduced Pay, he briefly paused for a while, picked up the mineral water on the podium and took a sip, giving everyone a pause to digest the information just now.

A moment later, Jeff Lock picked up the remote again, pressed the button lightly, and a brand new screen appeared on the big screen behind him, along with two words: blg.

"k, now, what I want to solemnly recommend to you is that Yahoo has a brand new online product, Yahoo's personal homepage."

With a faint smile on his face, Jeff Lock gestured to the big screen behind him, and continued: "The Internet, for most people, is still a very new thing. We have already achieved access to the Yahoo portal. Massive information, communicate with friends thousands of miles away through Yahoo mail and yr, and discuss current hot topics in Yahoo forums. Then, further, many people may have an idea, whether there is a network tool that can make We show ourselves to everyone, and today, your dream is about to come true."
