Hollywood Starts with Animation

"Okay, I will give you the recent information of Zucker Wald. Now everyone is going to the restaurant to eat. After all, I can't let you go hungry, right." Felix Luca laughed.

Hearing this, everyone in the Adidas team nodded in agreement and smiled.

Felix Luca is the most senior vice president of Adidas, and he pursues the wolf law and high-pressure policy, which indeed puts a lot of pressure on his team, but...Follow Luca, they earn The money is multiplied.

Money is so tempting!

They know well that once the successful acquisition of Under Armour Sporting Goods Company, or the participation in Under Armour's shareholding, will be regarded as the achievement of the established goals, and they will receive generous bonuses at that time.

"This trip will definitely be successful!"

"That's right, guys, don't forget our heads, but Felix Luca has super-strong business negotiating skills!"

"In March 2000, when we followed Tou to Italy and started the acquisition of Blood Clam (a sports goods brand in Italy), Tou got everything in just 5 days."

"Hahaha, anyway, this time the bonus will not be less."

"Crow, don't be too careless, after all, our goal this time, but Zucker Wald, the super rich man, has a lot of money!"

......

After a while of chatting and laughing, Luca and his team had successfully arrived at the hotel restaurant from the hotel suite under the guidance of the waiter.

The arrival of more than a dozen people did not arouse the attention of other customers in the restaurant. After all, most of the people who can stay and dine at the Baltimore Center Hotel are social elites, and they are used to seeing strong winds and waves.

However.......

Mark Parker, senior vice president of Nike headquarters, the future CEO of Nike Sports Kingdom, is also staying and dining here at the moment.

Coincidentally, the table next to Mark Parker's dining table is Felix Luca.

Mark Parker: "..."

Felix Luca: "..."

Both of them were stunned for a while,

This Nima is so coincidental.

For a while, the dinner seemed so weird, and both Nike and Adidas teams were a little silent.

Not only that, but Parker and Luka had a head-to-head confrontation before.

In 1998, on behalf of the Nike team, Parker started the acquisition of the Polish sports brand UTRW, but just as the contract was about to be reached, Luca personally led the Adidas team to come.

Step in!

Luca's big deal directly undermined Nike's acquisition;

But Nike's Parker isn't a vegetarian either. In the end, both Adidas and Nike failed to acquire UTRW, both of which ended in failure and were acquired by a third-party company, Puma Sporting Goods.

Since then, the two have had a grudge.

........

Hotel Suites - Team Nike.

"hateful!"

"I never imagined that Luca, the damned guy, would come to Baltimore!"

"What is he doing here?"

"From what I know about Adidas and Luca, they are 100% for Under Armour!"

Mark Parker was extremely angry, and his face was cloudy. If it wasn't for his own student, Smith Joe, who was in front of him and had to worry about his own image, his anger would probably have erupted long ago.

Smith Joe's face was also not good-looking: "Teacher, I think you are right, Adidas is here for Under Armour and Zucker Wald, either for acquisition or for equity participation. Of course, the ultimate goal is to give We Nike are looking for trouble!"

Nike and Adidas are both sports brand giants. Even though there are tens of thousands of sports companies around the world, between them, nothing counts.

Even the sports kingdom of Puma is completely incomparable with the two of them!

Nike and Adidas have a long history of grudges;

Well, Pepsi and Coca-Cola, too.

"No! I can't let Under Armour fall into the arms of Adidas smoothly."

After a short silence, Parker made a decision: "Smith, you will arrange a remote video call immediately. I want to talk to the chairman and Mr. Lituo, and we will also join the acquisition of Under Armour."

"Yes!"

Smith Joe nodded suddenly.

After a while, the remote video call starts.

High-ranking Nike shareholders and the company's top management have appeared on the computer screen one after another.

Executive President Li Tuo: "Parker, we will consider your suggestion as soon as possible and give you the result within three days."

This sentence was agreed by many shareholders and shareholder representatives.

Acquisition, at least have a more in-depth understanding of Under Armour, otherwise how to acquire?

Marion, one of the shareholder representatives, agreed: "Mr. Lito is right, we will consider it as soon as possible. However, Parker, you can't be idle, you can participate first and add some obstacles to Adidas."

"Hahaha~"

Hearing this, Mark Parker laughed: "Don't worry, everyone. I don't dare to say anything else. I'm very good at adding obstacles to Adidas. Felix Luca, I have long wanted to settle accounts with him. Nothing can make him proud!"

......

Hotel Suites - Team adidas.

"This puddle is about to get muddy. I'm 100% sure that the Nike team will join the Under Armour acquisition!"

Senior Vice President Luca's face was extremely ugly at the moment, but at the same time it was full of firmness.

The other Adidas members present also nodded.

It is foreseeable that this acquisition or shareholding action will not be so smooth.

......

the next day.

In the morning, the Adidas team from Germany sent a notification letter directly to Under Armour;

In the afternoon, Felix Luca led the team to Under Armour.

Luca: "Mr. Planck, the purpose of my visit is very clear, that is, on behalf of Adidas Group, to start the acquisition of your company, Under Armour Sports Goods Company. You don't have to worry, the price we offer is 1.4 100 million US dollars, far exceeding the market price of 40 million US dollars.”

Kevin Plank admitted that he was moved, but he still shook his head very firmly: "Mr. Luca, thank the Adidas Group for the importance attached to our Under Armour, but I won't agree. Believe me, it's me The owner, Mr. Zucker Wald, would not agree."

Before Zucker arrived in Baltimore, Plank would have sold his Under Armour shares to Adidas.

But what did Zucker say?

Going to buy an NBA team!

He is very clear that Zhu Ke will start a pan-sports plan, which is definitely a big project, and Under Armour's future is already very bright, why should he accept the acquisition and destroy the Great Wall?

Luca is not annoyed either, where did the acquisition happen overnight?

However, he is a little anxious! Once Nike stepped in, the price they had to pay was bound to be higher.

"Mr. Planck, I want to see Mr. Wald. I wonder if you are willing to arrange it?" Luca said suddenly.

Kevin Planck smiled and agreed directly.

$140 million?

He believed that Zucker would not take the money too seriously.

This point, Luca is also very clear. However, he certainly has his own words and a certain amount of confidence. After all, his stated goal is not necessarily to acquire Under Armour, it is also possible to take a stake.

" "The first more is sent.
