Hannah's reminder reminded Macridge of his own troubles.

This also means that Hannah does not want her grandson to be too involved in this circle now, after all, he is still a child who is not yet eighteen years old.

However, his admiration for Jonas has not changed, so he smiled and said, "If you can come to my house often in the future and make me this kind of noodles, I think we will have a lot of opportunities to communicate." ”

Jonas understood what he meant and smiled, "It's my pleasure. ”

As soon as he said this, Yannick's face became embarrassed again. His son has been working against him, but he fell at the feet of his friends, which made him embarrassed to be a father.

Hannah smiled and said, "Jonas, all the elders here are the targets you should pursue. ”

Jonas nodded solemnly. "I'm going to be more strict with myself and not let you down. ”

He's done enough today, and Jonas is ready to die and listen to and watch more today.

However, he had already aroused the interest of everyone present, and Murdoch smiled and asked, "Jonas, since you have already guessed that we are here today because of Fox, do you think our cooperation will be successful?"

"Even if there are differences, they are temporary, and I don't see any obstacles to the success of cooperation. ”

"Of course, it's a question of funding. ”

Jonas looked at Markridge and then at Murdoch and said, "I'm not fit to be involved in this, but I don't think the funding problem is permanent and the difficulties can be overcome." ”

He made up his mind and said no more. Although he knew that Markridge's shares had been sold to Murdoch in history, he did not know exactly how they were traded.

Although his words will not affect the specific transaction, any statement when the inside story is not clear, it is the wrong choice.

Unless, he could know Yannick, or Macridge's attitude, first.

Because he saw clearly the position of these people here, he was an outsider to Kostler and his grandmother.

Their own dad and Macridge are in a gang, and Murdoch alone is their opponent.

Even if you want to take a stand, you must take a firm stand after understanding the situation, and you must not be taken advantage of.

Jonas was very pleased with Markridge's attitude, and he asked, "I think 50 percent of Fox's shares are worth $650 million, do you think the price is too high or too low?"

Jonas laughed self-deprecatingly, "When I was shopping for groceries today, I was so happy that I saved fifty Swiss francs on my afternoon grocery shopping, and you discussed a big deal worth 650 million dollars with me. Uncle Mark, don't you think that's beyond my reach?"

"Because you are an outsider, your opinions have some reference significance for us. You can guess that we are sitting together because of Fox, so we should know something about Fox's situation, right?"

Jonas looked at Yannick pleadingly, he nodded slightly, and then Jonas said, "Then I will talk nonsense with my own immature opinion, and I hope that the elders will not blame me." ”

Everyone laughed and responded, as if watching a play. Jonas also knew that they didn't take themselves seriously, after all, they were too young.

It's just that when I saw a smart junior today, I was amused when I was eating.

Murdoch was the only one in the room who hoped that Jonas would stir up the situation and say something beneficial to him.

But Jonas knew exactly which side his ass should sit on......

He organized his language and said: "As far as I know, News Corp. is a media giant that started with newspapers, and Mr. Murdoch has been expanding his territory all these years, and he wants to buy Fox, probably not because of Fox's film library, but for Fox TV. ”

Everyone froze, not surprised by Murdoch's intentions, but surprised that Jonas had guessed this.

The film company in the 80s can be said to have entered the lowest period. Blockbusters had not yet taken shape, the film industry was greatly affected by television, and most of the film companies in this period were losing money.

News Corp. fell in love with Fox, mainly because of Fox TV, which was a fulcrum for Murdoch's foray into the American television industry.

Although everyone knew about it, it was definitely beyond everyone's expectations that Jonas could guess this as a student.

"Both the American wireless television media and the cable television media have a high threshold, and Mr. Murdoch wants to use Fox TV to enter the American media is a wise choice. I don't know much about this, so I can't give an accurate judgment.

But in my personal opinion, I think the film libraries of several film companies on Fox are also a lot of wealth. The copyright of the film, the sequel copyright, and the broadcast right can continue to create great value in the future. For example, the copyright of the Star Wars system can create billions of dollars in wealth value in the future, so no matter how much you buy Twentieth Century Fox, I think it's a good deal. ”

Murdoch had to speak, and he chuckled softly: "Jonas, any copyright mining requires investment and risk, relying only on TV broadcast rights and video rights, and it is a long-term low-return income to expand the value." ”

Jonas nodded and replied a little shyly: "Yes, the return on the existing copyright will be very slow, and it will be an adventure to mine the future copyright." I'm a layman for the details, and I'm just talking about the prospect of Mr. Murdoch's acquisition of Fox and not making any real sense. ”

Markridge frowned, then smiled and asked, "Jonas, you seem to be very optimistic about Fox's future prospects?"

"Yes, I think the studio will be worth tens of billions of dollars in the future. ”

In 2019, when 21st Century Fox, the future parent company of 20th Century Fox, was sold to Disney for more than $70 billion, not including the TV system.

However, it is impossible for anyone here to think about what will happen forty years from now, they only think that Jonas's words are fantasies. No one would think that a film company could be worth tens of billions of dollars.

Everyone laughed, even the tension on Murdoch's face disappeared and he smiled.

Hannah opened his mouth and said, "Jonas, don't judge things you don't understand, you should listen more, watch more, and then talk less." ”

Green smiled and said, "No, I like Jonas, with him, I can feel the vitality of a young man." ”

Jonas also knew that he had done enough, and Kostler kept looking at him in amazement, as if stunned by his performance today.

But at this time, it's not that he doesn't want to perform and can get by.

Macridge smiled and said, "Hannah, Jonas has inspired me a lot today, and I think we should also listen to young people's views on the world." ”

Hannah glanced at Jonas and said, "He's still a kid, and his ideas aren't mature. ”

"But because of this, his view of the world is often not constrained," Markridge insisted. ”

"Well, I hope his words won't have a big impact on your cooperation. ”

Although Jonas now has a mature heart, he is also a little angry because of the underestimation of these adults.

He thought about it for a moment and decided to give them a good taste of what it was like to be shocked by himself.

Of course, he also wants to be more mature in front of his grandmother and father, and not to be treated like a child all the time.

He'll be eighteen next year, and he doesn't want to be restricted from doing anything.

Macridge looked at Jonas at this time and said, "Jonas, do you think I should sell the fifty percent of the shares now?"

Jonas laughed: "Now it's not a question of whether you sell or not, it's a question of whether the U.S. government allows you to keep Fox shares." The film and television industry is the main avenue for ideological propaganda, and when you are censored by the United States, do you think they will allow you to keep a stake in Fox?

Of course, I personally think that simple buying and selling does not seem to maximize the interests of everyone, and if we talk about cooperation, I think it can maximize the interests of everyone. ”

Macridge asked, "How to work together?"

Jonas turned to Murdoch and asked, "Mr. Murdoch, as far as I know, your News Corporation, is not publicly available, and its expansion is mainly carried out by share collateral and bank loans, right?"

Murdoch nodded and said, "Newspapers and magazines don't have high price-to-earnings ratios, and going public will affect my expansion." ”

Now News Corp. is Murdoch's word, and if it goes public, he can't do whatever he wants.

When the pay and return are not proportional, listing is indeed a limitation.

Jonas remembers that News Corp. went public in the 90s and went public as a whole in the 21st century, becoming the world's largest media company.

At that time, Murdoch still controlled 30 percent of News Corp.

He asked Yannick again. "Dad, our Hoffman Bank is a private bank that focuses on a steady rate of return, right?"

"Of course, we need to be accountable to our customers. ”

"A thriving media group needs a lot of financial support in its rapid expansion. And the prospects of this media group are still very good, so at this time, Hoffman Bank's participation in News Corp.'s investment does not seem to be very risky. ”

Murdoch laughed: "Jonas, News Corp is mine, and no shareholder can interfere with the operation of the company." ”

"If Hoffman Bank invests in News Corp., but does not participate in News Corp.'s operations, and is willing to provide News Corp. with more high-quality customers and connections in Europe and the United States, then News Corp. rejects such shareholders?"
