Chapter 11 Unfair Confrontation (Plus thanks to all book friends for rewarding)
There is no free lunch in the world, no matter how loyal love is, no milk and bread, no one can always use love to generate electricity.
Rupert Murdoch pondered for a long time to open up the Asian media market, and the News Corp team also discussed it several times, only to find out that it was possible to break the traditional charging model and open up the huge Asian market by running a trial operation for free.
But everything is an idea, and for Murdoch, who is standing in the present, every step of News Corp. is crossing the river by feeling the stones.
The trial operation of free media is a bold attempt by him.
It's just that later, there was a saying: free things are always the most expensive.
Thirty years later, in the endless competition for capital, from free online games to the cultivation of unicorns everywhere, who still doesn't understand what this sentence means.
As a super coercion after 30 years, although Shen Jiannan has never manipulated the operation of the market, how can he not understand the truth in it, and the development background of News Corp. is not a secret, and the content written in the textbook is enough for people to never forget.
It's an unfair psychological encounter.
Shen Jiannan knows everything about the core operating model that News Corp. is going to try, but Rupert Murdoch doesn't know anything about Capital One.
No, nor can it be said that nothing is known.
Capital One has money, people, and a dumbfounded mode of operation, and even how to make a profit from the operation of free has been perfected to the fullest.
Looking at those dark eyes, Rupert Murdoch stood in silence for a moment, and a glimmer of light flashed in his black-framed eyes that should not have appeared in an old man.
"Shen. Let's talk about your cooperation. ”
Rupert Murdoch's attitude is very strong, and his words are no longer polite, and the momentum of the media predator is fully revealed, his eyes are looking directly at Shen Jiannan, and his eyes under the lenses are full of aggressiveness.
In this regard, Shen Jiannan just smiled flatly, and raised the teacup, the meaning was self-evident.
If you want to talk, sit down and have a cup of tea.
((***
Rupert Murdoch cursed in his heart, but he knew he had no choice, and by the time he stopped, the game was already lost.
Unless, he wants to give up the Asian market.
Taking off his leather shoes and enduring the irritability of being manipulated and suppressed, Rupert Murdoch walked back to the coffee table and sat down cross-legged.
"Shen. I want to know how you can cooperate. ”
Rupert Murdoch said.
Shen Jiannan raised his eyebrows and lazily sipped the tea in his mouth.
One second, two seconds, three seconds.
Rupert Murdoch was already impatient in his eyes before he spoke.
"I think News Corp. is looking at First Media under the Stars because of its position in the economic and financial arena, right, Mr. Murdoch. ”
“......”
We're smart people to each other, and there's no point in hiding it. Murdoch didn't answer, and it was a tacit acquiescence.
Shen Jiannan was very satisfied with Murdoch's reaction and continued to add.
"Then I think Mr. Murdoch also knows what Capital One is doing in a nutshell. ”
This is nonsense, if you want to buy a company and don't investigate what the strength of its major shareholders is, isn't it walking with your eyes closed.
Silent!
After a moment of silence, Murdoch smiled, as if the previous resentment and silence were all pretended.
"Shen. You're the most powerful young man I've ever met. I think I understand your purpose. ”
"What does Mr. Murdoch think?"
"I can give you 10 percent of News Corp., but I want 10 percent of First Capital. ”
You're thinking about fart.
Shen Jiannan shook his head noncommittally.
"Mr. Murdoch, how much money do you think needs to be invested in the influence of First Media under the stars to expand its influence throughout Asia. ”
"Oh. I'll tell you one thing, Li Daxiao was cultivated by me. ”
In an instant, Rupert Murdoch's eyes shrank together.
The greatest value of First Media under the stars is Li Daxiao himself, the terrifying analysis ability to see through the market, like divine help.
Bearish on which market, which market will collapse, bullish on which market, which market will rise, this terrifying ability of analysis and prediction is the core value of First Media under the stars.
With this at its core, the wealth it represents has gone far beyond the value of the media itself.
This is also the main reason why Rupert Murdoch acquired First Media under the stars at a premium of dozens of times, god-like prediction and analysis, and the loyalty of the audience is not like that of ordinary audiences.
It is conceivable that as long as First Media under the stars is merged into News Corporation, and Li Daxiao himself is regarded as a benchmark, then he will set up an absolute banner wherever he goes.
Li Daxiao was cultivated by me, and Li Daxiao was pushed to the front desk by me.
In just a moment, Rupert Murdoch understood what Shen Jiannan meant, and his face suddenly became extremely ugly.
If I can launch one Li Daxiao, I can launch ten Li Daxiao, and it makes no sense for you to win the first media under the stars. This is what Shen Jiannan wanted to say, and Rupert Murdoch also understood what he meant.
Being threatened, Rupert Murdoch was the first time he encountered it, looking at those dark eyes, he was gloomy, and his body was filled with the sense of oppression that a global media predator should have.
But in this regard, Shen Jiannan was indifferent at all.
"Mr. Murdoch. I don't mean anything else, and I think you know my sincerity. So I'm just laying out a basis for cooperation. ”
Rupert Murdoch couldn't help but feel a little bit of momentum.
As Shen Jiannan said, if he didn't say anything, he could sell Li Daxiao for 200 million US dollars, and the cost was nothing more than 10 million Hong Kong dollars.
"Five percent. I want five percent of Capital One, and I can give you ten percent of News Corp. ”
Syllable!
Shen Jiannan flicked his nails lightly and said slowly.
"News Corp.'s market capitalization is only $4 billion. Mr. Murdoch thinks that Capital One can tap into $2 billion in cash flow at any time, how much do you think it would be worth if it goes public?"
You don't have a little bit of a hard time about how much you're worth?
Sarcasm, naked sarcasm.
Although Shen Jiannan was very humble and polite, this is what it meant.
Rupert Murdoch was choked to death, and News Corp has been able to get to where it is today thanks to mergers and acquisitions, and he knows how terrifying two billion dollars in cash can be.
Capital First is also an investment company, and if it is done properly, it will not be difficult to mobilize tens of billions of dollars.
As a global media predator with a net worth of four billion dollars, Murdoch is one of the most eye-catching rich people everywhere, but now, he is actually despised as a poor man.
But in the face of the facts, he couldn't refute it.
In terms of personal net worth, if the first capital is all Shen Jiannan's, he is indeed a poor man in comparison.
Where did this bastard come from?
Rockefeller and JP Morgan, at his age, I'm afraid it's just that, right?
Rupert Murdoch was not good at all else, and for ten years he was no longer looked at like a poor ghost, and he was still looking at an idiot poor ghost.
Damn bastards.
was despised and disliked, and even Rupert Murdoch couldn't help but scold no matter how good he was.
It's just that he doesn't know how to refute it for a while.
The moment he turned around, he had already lost all his advantages.
Looking at those dark eyes, Rupert Murdoch squinted and said in a deep voice.
"Shen. What do you want?"
"I want 50 percent of News Corp. shares. ”
"It's simply not possible, and I think you know that under U.S. federal law, the actual controller of a media organization must be an American. ”
