I still hope Netflix acquires Warner, and by the way, I'm sharing a gossip post summarized by others for everyone's amusement~

Public gossip version [laughing emoji]

[Backstory]

Last week, Netflix just announced the acquisition of Hollywood old money Warner ($27.75 per share). Three days later, Paramount directly slapped the table with $108.4 billion in cash: "I offer $30 per share! I intercepted the deal!"

💸 [How to get something for nothing]

Gossip lovers must ask: Paramount's own market cap is only $16 billion, where did the $100 billion cash come from?

Answer: Summon the Dragon Team!

👉 Captain: Jared Kushner's (Trump's son-in-law) private equity fund

👉 Members: Saudi, UAE, and Qatar sovereign wealth funds (Middle Eastern tycoons: Money is no problem~)

Simply put: Paramount gathered tycoon teammates to pool money, borrowed to acquire, and then let the merged company work to pay off the debt!

Trump

First bashed Netflix: "You're monopolizing, I need to regulate!"

Then talked about Paramount: "Huh? I didn't look closely at their plan"

Rumors say Netflix CEO and Paramount CEO visited the White House one after another last week
