| $110bn | Paramount completes Warner Bros merger in historic media deal to create Skydance 收购 · 第 1 张术语卡 | Here the price was about $110 billion, and Warner Bros shareholders received cash worth roughly $31 a share. 分清三个词：acquisition / takeover 说的是「买下来」这件事；merger 更强调「两家合成一家」。本篇标题写 merger、正文写 acquisition，指的其实是同一笔交易。判断收购贵不贵，看的是「收购价 ÷ 标的年利润」这类倍数，而不是只看总金额。 |
