大脚Bigfoot收购新浪6.4%股权,附大脚公司背景资料

按人民网的新闻,MICHAEL GLEISSNER收购了6.4%的新浪股权.

　　宣布收购新浪部分股权的德国基金投资者名为迈克尔·盖斯纳（MichaelJ.G.Gleissner），是一位风险投资家，曾是Telebook公司的总裁。Telebook是德国第一大在线书店，拥有40万册德语图书。1998年，Telebook被亚马逊公司收购。按照1934年美国《证券交易法》规定，该投资人向美国证券交易委员会提交了13G表格，报告了这项完成于4月10日的交易。文件显示，迈克尔·盖斯纳拥有新浪343万股,相等于6.4%的股权。

　　一位业内人士告诉记者，盛大现在拥有新浪19%左右的股份，四通拥有4.7%的股份，现在两大股东变化不大，则意味着该收购可能是通过二级市场进行的。而该投资者对新浪股权的收购，也使其成为新浪的第二大股东。

而CNET的新闻:德国基金收购新浪6.4%股份 曾是亚马逊高管更加专业和详实:(PS:除了人物前边叫盖斯纳,后边改称格莱斯纳,看起来仍然是剪刀浆糊新闻)

据路透社4月14日消息，一名叫迈克尔-盖斯纳的投资者购买了新浪6.4%股份。 据资料显示，该收购的人出生在德国，具有德国籍，但经常居住地在香港。

最近一直疯传的新浪股权变动新闻终于有了个暂时的结论,看样子不是TOM收购了新浪.(又及,新闻分析M.G可能是从二级市场买的,因此大股东之间交易可能还是会发生的).

俺通过Google挖掘了一下有关MICHAEL GLEISSNER及其风险投资公司的资料,省得大家再麻烦找了. (不喜欢看E文的,可以把E文跳过,反正E文部分也不是我码的字,都是Scraper过来的,希望Google不要用DUP来Punish Me.)

下边划线部分是当时Bigfoot公司主席Michael Gleissner的简历.
(这是一张bigfootentertainment.com网站上打不开了的网页,在Google Cache里翻出来的)

Chairman of the Board, Bigfoot Group of Companies

Asia-based media and business entrepreneur Michael Gleissner will make his directorial debut with Irreversi, a thriller set in Hong Kong. Gleissner also serves as co-writer on the project, which begins principal photography March 27. The film stars Estella Warren, Kenny Doughty and newcomers Mei Melancon and Ian Bohen. Gleissner is also shooting a Mandarin Chinese version of the film, targeted specifically for the Asian market.

A noted underwater photographer and music video director, Gleissner began his professional career in the technology industry. After service as Vice President at Amazon.com (which acquired one of his companies in 1998), Gleissner started a New York-based hedge fund, generating exceptional returns by short-selling overpriced, internet companies. After the dot-com bubble, he made headlines as he took major stakes in devalued but viable dot-com assets when the market bottomed and exited these investments with exceptional returns.

In 2000, Gleissner turned his attention to email pioneer Bigfoot.com, acquiring and utilizing the brand for what turned into a Hong Kong and Singapore-based conglomerate, with businesses in communications, business process outsourcing, education and real estate. An entertainment division, Bigfoot Entertainment, was then added with investments exceeding $20 million. The Bigfoot Group of Companies also includes ventures such as a state-of-the-art production facility in Cebu, Philippines; a film school, the International Academy of Film and Television; and Bigfoot Partners, a film fund that has financed and produced diverse films such as 3 Needles (Lucy Liu, Chloe Sevigny and Stockard Channing), East Broadway (Margaret Cho), Shanghai Kiss (Kelly Hu) and The Curiosity of Chance (Tad Hilgenbrinck from American Pie Presents: Band Camp). Among the projects in development for Bigfoot Entertainment are the adventure travel television series, "Nautical Angels" and feature films See Dick Run and Cockfight, shooting later this year. Bigfoot also acquired the master franchise of Fashion TV in Singapore and the Philippines.
