The matter of Li Wei's acquisition of BestWeisun is not a secret. With Li Wei's purchase of Emerald Island, Li Wei's acquisition has been scooped up by the North American media.And Li Wei didn't intend to hide it from these media, after all, since he wanted to buy BestWeixin, he had to buy it in a good way.Now Li Wei's plan to purchase Emerald Island and develop it has become the focus of many economists in North America. Almost all economists have expressed their support and positive attitude towards Li Wei's development plan, especially Li Wei's large number of employees. The matter of the native residents of Hawaii has also been praised by the federal government of Citigroup.

Although according to the Citigroup Constitution, the state governments of Citigroup states are equal to the federal government, but if the state government does not develop well, the federal government still has to allocate funds.However, the Republican government currently in power, on the one hand, the Republican Party pursues a tax cut policy, and on the other hand, it pursues the concept of "small government", which leads to the continuous expansion of the government's deficit. Therefore, although the states are complaining, the federal government is indeed unable to allocate money. to support.Therefore, in recent years, Citigroup has seen local governments declare bankruptcy, causing residents in many areas to protest against it.

The end of government bankruptcy is the disbandment of the police station and the shutdown of public health facilities... Think about it, living in a place without police and doctors is simply unimaginable.Fortunately, the Hawaii state government actually came up with a solution. Although it failed to fundamentally reverse the deficit of the Hawaii state government, it finally added a little color to the future development of the Hawaii state.The most direct reaction is that finally there are banks willing to lend and undertake the sales of Hawaii state government bonds. Many banks are still very optimistic about the development plan of Emerald Island.

"Have you heard that, the rich man who bought Emerald Isle is said to be planning to buy our Best Welsh?" In the Best Welsh chain store, a staff member whispered to his colleagues.

The fact that BestWeisun has fallen into bankruptcy can’t be hidden from the employees. Judging from the constantly reducing bonuses and welfare figures, BestWeisun has reached a difficult point.If everyone had other skills, they would have jumped out of this quagmire long ago.The remaining employees who are still muddling through in the store are those who are too old or have low education, and they basically cannot find other suitable companies to accept them.And the most important thing is that if he quits at this time and leaves, then those pensions have nothing to do with him.Now it's hard to hear that someone is willing to acquire Best Weixun, and these people are naturally the happiest.

"I just don't know how to deal with us old employees."

"I heard a piece of news, but I don't know if it's accurate or not." Another employee looked around and said in a low voice, "I have an old guy who is a service member of the other party's acquisition team. I heard that the conditions they offered It is to maintain the current basic salary package, and then guarantee that there will be no layoffs for three years. However, the salary and benefits may be raised according to the actual situation, and that’s about it.”

"That's not bad!" said the employee who had just spoken, with a look of joy on his face.BestWeather has also had a glorious period, so everyone's basic salary is actually above the middle level in the same class, and it is not too much of a problem to basically support a family of four.And if you can guarantee that there will be no layoffs for three years, then you will have enough time to adapt to the new job.

"We think it's good, but the trade unions and executives feel that they are at a disadvantage." Speaking of this, the cautious employee couldn't help but snorted coldly, "Because the acquirer refused to provide the golden parachute, it's also It is the high pension or severance pay, and the executives are very dissatisfied. The trade unions demand that all salaries and benefits remain unchanged, and at the same time guarantee that the contract will not be terminated for five years. Tsk tsk, I am not afraid to scare people away when I say this condition. Since this group of idiots started to take over the company, the company has been worsening year after year. Originally, it would not be difficult for the company to last for a few more years, but these idiots still speculate in futures with the dream of getting rich, spending all the company's reserves and family assets It's all lost. To be honest, if I were the big boss of the acquirer, the first thing after the acquisition would be to drive these idiots out of the company. They dare to ask for high severance pay. Why don't they find a place to commit suicide and apologize? What about the group of vampires in the trade union, who are active in collecting dues every month, but what about when they are required to do things? They offer such high conditions this time, if the other party does not buy, then who will be responsible after we lose our jobs? Their so-called unemployment assistance is not enough for me to smoke a pack of cigarettes a day, and the assistance is only for one year, and after one year, it doesn't matter whether we live or die!"

"Keep your voice down!" Another employee comforted, "The vampires in the trade union are not easy to mess with. Not only do they have a close relationship with the congressmen, but they also have a good relationship with those bastards. If you let them know that you are here to treat them Make irresponsible remarks and be careful that you get bullets from them when you go home. I've seen it now. If the company really goes bankrupt, I'll go to the city government to protest. Anyway, you will rush to rescue Our rich man is scared away, so you will save us!"

While the acquisition was being discussed internally by Best Weixin, the Los Angeles City Government and the California State Government were also paying attention to this matter.It is ridiculous to say that California, as a state with a developed population and economy, has the largest state government budget deficit.Moreover, many of the local governments that Citigroup has gone bankrupt in China are concentrated in California.Of course, the state government can't ignore these bankrupt local governments. Although it can't guarantee that these places will still have sufficient police force, public health and education as before, at least they must guarantee it, right?Even this kind of minimum public expenditure is enough to make the state government even worse.

As for the city government of Los Angeles, it is even more tragic. The local administrative divisions of Citigroup are actually different from the jurisdiction of local governments.The local government of Citigroup is actually similar to the management organization of a company. If I think you manage well, then I can also join your jurisdiction.The Los Angeles City Government is constantly expanding under the admiration of everyone. It used to be good, but now it is found that the Los Angeles City Government is somewhat unable to support it.Once, the prosperous entertainment industry supported the thriving city government of Los Angeles; but with the decline of the entertainment industry and the rise of the Internet industry, California's economic center of gravity quickly moved north to San Francisco.Therefore, the abandoned Los Angeles city government had to accept the previous mess. In addition, Los Angeles was originally a city of immigrants, and it was open and sympathetic to smugglers. Therefore, more and more smugglers also increased the burden of public expenditure in Los Angeles. Not a lot.

The state and local governments welcome Li Wei's plan to acquire BestWeisun.Although taxes are divided by the federal government, employment is a real benefit of the local government.Especially in the constituency where the headquarters of Best Versun is located, City Councilor Dorothy couldn't sit still.As a female member of parliament, she is well aware that she is at a natural disadvantage compared with male members of parliament, and her last election was based on the fact that local voters were disappointed with the original member of parliament because of the decline in employment rates.Now as long as he can single-handedly facilitate the conclusion of the acquisition, then re-election is definitely not a problem.Even as long as he has a good relationship with this rich man, it is not impossible for him to become a senior member of parliament or even the speaker, and he may even have the opportunity to run for public office.

"Mr. Li, we are actually not particularly optimistic about this acquisition. Whether it is a cheap theater chain or a DVD and video rental store, it is not in line with our company's positioning. These are sunset industries, and we are the representatives of sunrise industries." Li In Wei's acquisition team, the person in charge said embarrassingly. "Not only do we have to spend a lot of manpower, but we also have to worry about future transformation investments. According to the intelligence we have collected, the company's management and labor unions do not cooperate with our acquisition, so we may still have a lot of trouble in the acquisition. Controlled expenses. Therefore, we still suggest that Mr. Li must be cautious about this acquisition.”

"Do you think that I took over from Best Weixin to continue to get involved in the rental and sale of video tapes and discs and the business of cheap theaters?" Li Wei said with a smile, "Kirin and DreamWorks have jointly established Columbia Entertainment Group, and the newly formed Columbia Entertainment The group is the main body in charge of film and television production and distribution, and we did not acquire Best Wesson for the film and television distribution industry. What I value is only the real estate of Best Wesson’s chain stores and affiliated theater chains. You can take a look at the map.” At Li Wei's request, the location of BestWeixun's theaters and chain stores was displayed on the big screen.

"The chain stores are mainly distributed in the main residential areas in North America, while the cheap movie theaters are located in the main gathering points of some second- and third-tier cities. Don't you see the land price here? I am now wondering why Best Weixin has such a Have a golden job but can’t get enough to eat? Once we complete the acquisition of Best Weixin, Best Weixin will be divided into two parts, and the chain store part will be merged into Columbia Consumer Products and Copyright Management Corporation, a subsidiary of Columbia Entertainment Group. Undertake the sales of our IP derivatives in North America. That is to say, the future BestWeixun chain store will become a retail store for movies and animation peripheral products, and will also become one of the sales channels for our offline peripheral products and physical products We will sell the theater part to the North American branch of Yushanfang Catering Management Group, and they will transform these cheap theaters into a dining bar integrating fast food restaurants and themed restaurants, and at the same time open up some entertainment venues for adults. Don’t worry, it’s absolutely legal, after all, not every city is Las Vegas, right?”

According to Li Wei's description, the acquisition team began to evaluate the value of BestWeixin.The final opinion of the team is that BestWeisun is worth acquiring. Although the decoration of the chain store is a bit old, the location and area of ​​the store are still very impressive.If you are no longer engaged in the rental and sales of video tapes and discs, it is actually good to transition to the retail industry.It is a pity that the retail industry also needs positioning. If you are engaged in traditional retail industry, you will inevitably collide with traditional retail giants such as Wal-Mart, and the transformation will inevitably fail.On the contrary, Li Wei's idea of ​​building an offline peripheral theme store is a coup.However, this idea can only be done by a company like Li Wei who holds a large number of IPs. Otherwise, if the IPs in their hands are not enough to support this sales channel, then the rhythm of buying it will be a loss.

"Mr. Li, there's new news from BestWeixin. They want us to go to Los Angeles for acquisition negotiations." Just after Li Wei formed his own acquisition team, Li Wei's assistant brought Li Wei this information.Li Wei frowned tightly when he heard that the other party temporarily changed the address of the acquisition negotiation.
