Chapter 696 Merger Proposal

…

In a two-tier network service model, network operators can charge additional fees to website owners who enjoy preferential locations and faster speeds. In other words, if you spend more, you can enjoy higher speed broadband and provide a better Internet experience. Just like 5G and 4G, in the same online environment, Internet companies that provide 5G broadband services are definitely more popular than Internet companies that provide 4G broadband services.

This also means that rich big Internet companies can use their strong capital to crush small and medium Internet companies, and the strong will become stronger. At the same time, users have to pay for the expenses of big Internet companies. And the real benefits are AT&T, Comscat, Verizon and other telecom service providers.

"'Net neutrality' doesn't matter to me if it's just Matrix. But from ruby ​​and Google's point of view. I support 'net neutrality', otherwise we'll have to do more than just serve our customers better To please you operators."

Carl Corey smiled, "Although Mr. Guo doesn't like it. But network operators, all telecom companies including Comscat, AT&T, Verizon, will try their best to overturn 'net neutrality'. Although it seems that the law and Public opinion is inclined to support the principle of 'net neutrality'. But in the future, when Google, Amazon, Ruby, etc. have stabilized their leading positions, in order to suppress later competitors, they may not be so opposed to it. When it falls, the principle of 'net neutrality' There won't be. AT&T, Comscat, Verizon are all going to get big gains."

Carl Corey's words were far-sighted. Before Guo Shouyun's rebirth, he clearly remembered that the FCC voted to overturn the "net neutrality" regulations introduced by the CCP government. Under the new regulatory scheme, broadband Internet access and mobile networks are no longer classified as 'public utilities', but are reclassified as 'information services' and 'private mobile services'.

In this contest, Comscat, AT&T, Verizon and other telecom operators won!

"Mr. Corey's words may become a reality in the future, but for now. It is not easy for telecom companies to overthrow net neutrality." Guo Shouyun said.

"In a few years, Conscart can still afford to wait. But Mr. Guo has always planned for the long-term. Haven't you thought about planning for the future?"

"What's the meaning?"

Guo Shouyun narrowed his eyes.

“Like investing in telecom companies!”

Looking at Carl Corey's dazzling eyes, Guo Shouyun said indifferently: "You don't mean to let Conscart acquire Matrix, right?"

"No, it's not an acquisition, it's a 'merger'!"

Carl Corey said the last two words with emphasis.

"The market value of Comscott is now 62.46 billion US dollars. Although the matrix company has not been listed, its estimated market value will not be weaker than Disney's 48 billion US dollars. Once the two parties merge, Mr. Guo's shares in Matrix will undoubtedly become Constellation. Major shareholder of Carter Matrix. Mastering a huge company with a market value of more than $110 billion, combined with content and channels, and truly invincible in the media and telecommunications industry.”

The merger of media and telecommunications almost became the mainstream of Hollywood before Guo Shouyun passed through. And knowing that the telecommunications company's revenue will continue to grow with the popularity of the Internet and mobile Internet, he doesn't mind the merger of Conscart and Matrix, but he must get absolute control of the new company.

"Is this merger proposal Mr. Corey's own attention, or is it the decision of Comscart management?"

Seeing that he didn't immediately refuse, Carl Corey's expression immediately became uplifted.

"Although it is my own decision now. However, Mr. Guo understands that Conscat's acquisition of Disney some time ago, although it failed in the end, but the company's determination to enter the media industry and enrich the content side is also well known to the outside world. Matrix It is a more promising media company than Disney, especially in the field of film and television. If Mr. Guo agrees to the merger. I guarantee that the management and board of directors of Comscat will seriously consider it and finally implement it!"

"I am very willing to believe in Mr. Corey's ability and assurance. However, once this matter is implemented, it will involve a huge transaction of hundreds of billions of dollars. Everything has to be considered in the long run. In addition, I hope to see this matter in the acquisition of Migao by Matrix. Start after Mei, otherwise the consequences of distracting your energy are often not very good." Guo Shouyun nodded and said.

Carl Corey nodded after a brief consideration. Regardless of whether the final merger between the two parties is successful or not. Without Sony Pictures, a key ally, it would be too risky to buy MGM, a mud-footed giant, at a premium of nearly 40%. After all, Comscart has no experience in the film and television industry, and MGM's three consecutive years of losses make it difficult to generate enough trust.

Regarding the merger of Matrix and Comscart, Guo Shouyun and Carl Corey reached an oral agreement and assured each other that they would not disclose any news about the merger to the media until the matter finally settled down. Carl Corey Li then left in a hurry with Guo Shouyun's escort.

"Boss, do you really decide to merge with Conscarter?"

Back in the office, Buddy Morris, who had been with him before, asked.

"Do you think it's inappropriate?"

After waving him to sit down, Guo Shouyun asked.

"Matrix is ​​a media company, while Comscat is a telecommunications company, and the two companies are not in the same field. If they merge, it will be difficult for them to integrate into one company in the face of two unfamiliar industries. In addition, Matrix is ​​now in the High-speed expansion period, "Pirates of the Caribbean", "National Treasure", "Harry Potter", "Fast and Furious", "Marvel Universe", "Dark Universe", and the "007" series after the acquisition of MGM , coupled with the film and television copyrights such as "Transformers", "Smart Ghost Recording" and "Underworld", we can get more than 7 billion US dollars in revenue every year from the movie box office and peripheral product income."

"Matrix Games has been established for five years, and its annual revenue has increased by more than 67%. Pixar, Marvel Comics, and Matrix Records are vigorous, and our annual revenue from them has exceeded 2.4 billion US dollars. Matrix Cinema has become the world's most luxurious cinema chain. After the expansion of Universal Studios, the revenue has also continued to grow. And in another two to three years, three giant Universal Studios in Singapore, Huaxia Magic City, and Beijing will also open. At that time, we will obtain from the theme park. revenue will more than double today.”

"In terms of radio and television, The Voice of America and America's Got Talent continue to be popular, and Prison Break, Lost, and the just-released The Big Bang Theory have become phenomenal TV shows in the United States. After five years of NBA broadcasting rights, CW Sports Channel has obtained the broadcast rights of the Premier League, Bundesliga, and 11 events such as Wimbledon Tennis Open and World Athletics Championships. Although the current influence of CW public television is not as good as that of NBC, CBC, ABC, Fox, but also the fifth largest public television network in the U.S., and one of the fastest growing right now. Canal+, TNT, two pay TV stations, and Hulu streaming, are also increasing subscribers.”

After a pause, Buddy Morris calmed down and said, "Boss, we are not Comscart, their telecom business has developed to the top, and they can only rely on continuous mergers to meet the growth of performance. We are different, We still have a lot of room for improvement. Merger is not the best option for us.”

Guo Shouyun looked at the subordinates he was already very familiar with with some surprises.

"Buddy, it seems that you have really grown a lot in the position of CEO of Matrix Company over the years. You never said that before!"

Buddy Morris had a hearty smile on his dark face.

"The matrix company is growing day by day. If I, as a manager, can't keep up with its pace and improve my ability quickly, I am afraid that even with your support, I will not be able to stay in this position for long!"

Guo Shouyun smiled and nodded, his subordinates never wanted mediocrity.

"The Matrix company has a lot of room for improvement, but this does not prevent us from negotiating a merger with Comscat. At that time, we just need to quote our premium a little higher. Moreover, if the two sides merge, we can get the new company. control, so what's the difference between Matrix Comcast and Matrix?"

"But in the long run, you will suffer!"

Guo Shouyun waved his hand, "Although I may lose some capital gains in the long run. But the industry influence and social influence brought by a powerful company with a valuation of 110 billion US dollars and still growing But it effectively makes up for this loss~www.novelbuddy.com~Buddy. Money, I have no shortage of money. But industry influence is not easy to build."

"In addition, with the increasing number of Internet users in the United States, as a broadband provider in the United States, Comscat's business is also growing, and our merger with the other party may not be as economical as you might expect."

"And if you look at Time Warner, if it weren't for Time Warner Cable's huge revenue every year, Time Warner would have been fooled by AOL long ago."

Buddy Morris nodded.

"How much will we pay if we merge with Comscat?"

"As long as we guarantee that we can get 51% of the absolute controlling stake, then this premium is the most appropriate premium!"

There was a merger of America Online and Time Warner, but the two sides were fighting infightingly, dragging down the company's performance. Guo Shouyun definitely doesn't want to make the same mistake in the merger of Matrix and Comscat. Either he holds the power of the company, sweeps out all the guys who dare to challenge his authority, has no ability, and ignores the overall situation, and governs with an iron fist; or, he is willing to give up this merger.
