When Niu Guangcheng was preparing to set up a ceramic factory in his hometown, Song Weiyang was holding a meeting in the capital, and he held a meeting for several days.

Isn't China joining the WTO, and both the Federation of Industry and Commerce and the Council for the Promotion of International Trade are actively responding to this change.

Song Weiyang has a position in the Federation of Industry and Commerce, was called to analyze and discuss, and also made a keynote speech at the conference. Xifeng and Shenzhou Technology are both members of the CCPIT, and they each went to a vice president meeting, and Song Weiyang was invited to attend as a guest.

At the end of the meeting, Song Weiyang mentioned his cousin's internship casually while eating. The other party asked Li Tingting how well he was English, and Song Weiyang said that his cousin was a Fudan international finance major, and professional English was a compulsory course. The other party immediately said that the US office of the CCPIT was still short of people, and Li Tingting could go there for an internship.

After a few sentences, Li Tingting was called to the capital and quickly implemented the relevant procedures. When she returned to Fudan with the internship employment letter, not to mention that it caused a sensation in the entire department, at least it also attracted the attention of the college leaders, who asked about Li Tingting's family situation.

Fudan fresh graduates have also interned at CCPIT before, but it is really rare to go directly to the CCPIT US office for an internship.

Li Tingting could not withstand the flickering of the old fritters, and if he didn't pay attention to it, he said that he leaked his mouth. Only then did the department leaders know that Li Tingting was Song Weiyang's cousin, and not only approved her internship application to leave school early, but also gave a place for this year's outstanding graduates, so that Li Tingting must return to China to give a speech on behalf of the graduates.

Beijing, Quadrangle.

Chen Tao watered the camellia while talking about the digestion progress of Jianlibao. She came to the capital mainly to watch the ball, and it happened that Song Weiyang was also here for a meeting, and the two simply ran around the courtyard for a few days.

"Sister Peach. Shen Si came out of the back room with his laptop.

Chen Tao smiled and asked, "Isn't there something that wants to call your boss away?"

"Not for the time being," Shen Si said to Song Weiyang, "Taurus Capital has reached an acquisition intention with News Corporation, agreeing to formally sign a contract in mid-May to acquire 8% of News Corp.'s Phoenix Satellite TV shares." ”

Song Weiyang was lying on the rocking chair reading a book, and said casually: "Just let Taurus Capital handle this kind of thing." ”

Phoenix Satellite TV was listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange two years ago, and now it is becoming more and more popular, and its ratings in the mainland are also very high. Even many of the hosts of Phoenix Channel have become big stars in the mainland, and they are deeply loved by intellectuals and school students. This TV station has made old nose money, has very good funds, and even has a bold plan this year: led by different hosts, they will go to the North and South Poles to do programs respectively.

Murdoch's News Corporation, on the other hand, held a 45% stake in Phoenix TV at the beginning of its existence. Now Murdoch wants to sell some of the shares to cash out, and Taurus Capital took over at the behest of Song Weiyang, and the price is not very outrageous.

In the history of News Corporation, there is such a record: in 2001, Murdoch reorganized News Corporation's satellite platforms in Western Europe, Asia and Latin America, and integrated them into Sky Globe Network Group, which looks around the whole world.

It may sound awesome, but the reality is that Murdoch is in crisis and he has to restructure.

It all had to do with the bursting of the dot-com bubble.

In the 90s, the Internet boomed, and Murdoch naturally wanted to join in the fun. He spent $450 million to buy PointCast and founded aByte in China.

In addition, in the early 2000s, Murdoch joined hands with Nokia to enter the Internet, and spent $1 billion to buy a 4% stake in Singapore Telecom, all of which were screwed up. Especially in the latter transaction, Murdoch's original intention was to use Singtel to indirectly touch Hong Kong City Telecom, and then directly target the Chinese mainland telecommunications market. As a result, Li Chaoren's son-in-law stood up and joined forces with China Telecom, Bank of China, Intel and other companies to snatch the business away.

As a result of years of frenzied expansion, as well as failures in the telecommunications and Internet industries, News Corp.'s management and finances are in turmoil. Murdoch's choice of asset consolidation and restructuring is actually a large-scale sale of non-performing assets, narrowing and consolidating business in Asia, Western Europe and Latin America, and shifting the focus of development to North America.

This approach was very successful, and the funds vacated at this time were all taken to the United States to buy the bottom. Then simply moved the headquarters to the United States, listed on the New York Stock Exchange, and then got the money to continue to acquire and expand around the world.

Since Murdoch's asking price is not high, Song Weiyang is naturally willing to be a pick-up man. Coupled with the equity that Song Weiyang exchanged from Bank of China Investment before the listing of Phoenix Satellite TV, once this deal is completed, he will be the third largest shareholder of Phoenix Satellite TV, with Taurus Capital holding 8% of the shares and Song Weiyang personally holding 7.15% of the shares (after dilution of the listing).

"Taurus Capital sent a message and said that Director Liu of Phoenix Satellite TV wants to invite you to do a talk show, "Celebrity Face to Face", "Luyu Appointment", "Qiang Qiang Threesome" are up to you. Shen Si said.

Song Weiyang said with a smile: "My own TV station, I should give some face and promise them." ”

Shen Si peeked at Chen Tao and said in a joking tone: "I recommend "Face to Face with Celebrities", the host is very intellectual and beautiful, and she is a goddess in the minds of many Chinese intellectuals. ”

Among the three programs, "Face to Face with Celebrities" has the highest compulsion, and the interviewees are all celebrities from all walks of life.

But under Chen Tao's gaze, Song Weiyang immediately said: "I will definitely not go to "Face to Face with Celebrities", am I the kind of person who pays attention to beauty? ”

Chen Tao smiled and didn't speak.

Song Weiyang thought for a while: "Just "Qiang Qiang Threesome", I have also watched "A Date with Luyu", and I can't stand her nervous laughter. By the way, I was too lazy to go to Hong Kong City to record a program, and let the host come directly to the mainland, and the other party would give up if he didn't want to. ”

Shen Si immediately picked up his laptop and sent an email to explain the situation.

Soon, Phoenix Satellite TV replied in seconds, and Shen Sichuan said: "They said that it was okay, it was okay to record in the deep city, and it was okay to record in the capital." ”

"Just the capital, in two days, I don't have so much spare time to wait for them. Song Weiyang said.

Shen Si immediately got busy, talked directly to the host on the phone, and finally handed the phone to Song Weiyang: "Boss, the other party wants to discuss the content of the program with you." ”

Song Weiyang took the phone and said, "Hey, hello, I'm Song Weiyang." ”

A voice came from the phone: "Hello Mr. Song, I'm Dou Wentao, I'm sorry to disturb you for a few minutes." Do you have any special requests for the panelists?"

"Who do you want to invite?" Song Weiyang asked.

Dou Wentao explained: "I recently invited Wang Shuo, why don't you go on the show together?"

"Forget it, that guy is too good at talking. Where he is, others can't interject at all, and I'm afraid it will be embarrassing at that time. Song Weiyang immediately denied it.

Dou Wentao said again: "How is Mr. Qiuyu? He has also been free recently. ”

Song Weiyang said with a smile: "My literary literacy is not good, and there is a generation gap with traditional writers. ”

"Liang Wendao, do you know? Dou Wentao asked.

"Just talk. Song Weiyang said.

Dou Wentao said: "Then how about we record tomorrow? I flew over with Wen Dao overnight, and the topic revolved around the motto of the Taurus Business School. ”

Song Weiyang said: "Yes. ”

Song Weiyang said a few words casually, and the program team immediately went crazy.

Because of the urgency of time, the other party collected online information and newspaper information overnight, and Dou Wentao flew to the capital and couldn't sleep at all, because he had to formulate the content of the program himself. After a busy night, I slept casually the next morning, and started the official recording in the afternoon.

Fortunately, this show is just nonsense, otherwise it would not have been possible to do it in such a short time.
