Chapter 945: Buying Time Warner?

Unexpectedly, as soon as Zhou Shi returned to Silicon Valley, the news that Yahoo wanted to acquire Time Warner came out immediately, and there was no doubt that it was leaked by Time Warner. The stock prices of both sides have risen and fallen, but in general it is normal. However, Netflix's stock price has skyrocketed unexpectedly.

"Yahoo's New Direction, Film and Television Media!" was published in a column by a well-known financial journalist, which did an in-depth study of Yahoo.

The article explains in detail the beginning and end of Yahoo's investment in Netflix, starting from giving up the investment in Yahoo Video and Hulu, and betting on Netflix. Let Miramax cooperate with Netflix and increase investment in self-made dramas. Let Yelp's membership system be bound to Netflix to increase the number of members on both sides.

"There are all kinds of indications that Yahoo is not investing in video, but that Zhou Shi has taken a very different development path from YouTube. It reduces the trouble caused by copyright disputes, you must know that the biggest reason why Zhou Shi sold YouTube to Amazon in the first place may be copyright disputes. By the same token, Netflix's need for rights is even more urgent, and if Yahoo buys Time Warner and then works with Netflix, whether or not it ends up buying Netflix, an unprecedented behemoth will create ......"

"Pichai, how do I feel very good after reading this Thomas article, can we really buy Time Warner?" Zhou Shi was a little moved, Netflix plus Time Warner, what kind of sour feeling is this?

"I also want them to agree, they suddenly released the news, they didn't care about our feelings at all, and it didn't look like they really wanted to cooperate. "Pichai

"Do you want us to help it raise the price?" Zhou Shi

"There is a possibility ...... this," Pichai said

"Then check it out!" Zhou Shi was not very sure

With such a large acquisition, it is almost impossible to keep it completely secret, and if the relationship is deep, most of Wall Street's secrets can be known. Zhou Shi only needs a small part of the secrets of a specific object, and he is naturally handy.

"ATT is also buying Time Warner!" A few days later, they knew the answer

"Do you think we should trap them?" When the news was unclear, Zhou Shi postponed the meeting with Time Warner, and now that he has a definite answer, he can naturally take action.

"We don't really want to buy it anyway, since they are not sincere, we will see if we can use this news ......" Pichai said

There is no need to make a big fuss about it, many things can be converted to each other, and if you have the heart, even if the management of Time Warner is not sincere for the time being, you can also influence the final result through shareholders. Therefore, as long as the two sides really sit down to talk, it is still unknown who will die. However, Zhou Shi was too lazy to bother to do something that did not have much hope. Time Warner's influence in the United States is so huge, even if Zhou Shi becomes an American citizen, it will be difficult to do so because of invisible racial discrimination.

"You look at it, oh yes, or we should buy Times Company, we take a step back, and we can cooperate with them, as long as Times Company ......" Zhou Shi

"Let Toutiao have more content resources?" said Pichai

"You also have the ability to influence the world!" Zhou Shi

Even if Time is not profitable, periodicals such as Time Magazine, Fortune, and People still have unparalleled influence. This influence is the result of decades of accumulation.

"They only spun off last year...... "Pichai."

"Let's talk about it first, it's the best, and if it doesn't work, there's no problem, let them have such a psychological preparation!" Zhou Shi

"What about AOL?"

"It's useless for us to buy it!" Zhou Shi, this is like Sina's acquisition of Sohu, what's the point, the user groups of the two sides overlap, even if there are more users in the short term, it's hard to say how long it can be maintained. The domestic Youku has finally merged with Tudou, but it has a role to play in the competition of the domestic video industry......

"......" Pichai thought for a moment and shook his head helplessly. Time Warner has been doing so much for so long, and nothing has been achieved.

Zhou Shi is also embarrassed, this is equivalent to using other people's money to complete his bad taste, and to put it seriously, it will affect the company's strategy. Time Warner, such an influential company that exceeds the user base, film and television works like Harry Potter have influenced his generation for many years from the first one.

Hollywood's Big Six, Disney is second to none, Time Warner is a close second, Universal, Sony Columbia, 20th Century Fox, Paramount. The boss is thriving, the second is looking to sell himself, what are the remaining companies to do, oh, forget that Fox will sell himself in the future.

Just as he was thinking about giving up his coveting of Time Warner, however, ......

"Yahoo buys Time Warner, Zhou Shi or aims for DC superheroes!" The article "Yahoo Buys Time Warner, Zhou Shi or Aims for DC Superheroes!" quickly spread all over the Internet.

The article analyzes Zhou Shi's investment in the film and television entertainment industry in detail, starting with "Batman", investing in Legendary Pictures, because of Time Warner's huge and no large-scale cooperation, to investing in Marvel to help Marvel Studios build superheroes and the Marvel universe. Through interviews with Kevin Feige and others, we know that Zhou Shi played a key role in the formation of the Marvel Universe.

As he said in an interview: Movies are a dream-making industry, and he likes to turn dreams into reality! It is more difficult to create a DC Universe superhero, but for the genius Zhou Shi, it may not be too difficult, the question is whether he wants to or not. I think you can now know the answer, the acquisition of Time Warner shows that he is still very interested in the DC Universe......"

"Do I really have this interest, no, no, can I really do a good job in the DC Universe?" Zhou Shi asked silently, he seemed to have only provided funding and publicity channels during the success of the Marvel Universe project, and also let a Chinese actress play the role of Black Widow, a popular superhero, which can be said to have pitted Marvel. Why are you saying good things about him now?

Think of DC's superheroes, Batman, Wonder Woman, Superman, The Flash, Green Arrow, Green Lantern, ...... All seem to be famous.

"Support Zhou Shi's acquisition of Warner and build the DC Universe!"

"The DC Universe Rises!"

"Acquire Warner Bros.!"

"Don't forget that he's from Huaxia, hehe!!"

The U.S. federal constitution prohibits foreigners from owning U.S. television stations, even Murdoch, who eventually became American citizenship from an Australian in order to buy Fox television.

"The reason why Time Warner is willing to talk to Yahoo about mergers and acquisitions is because the future belongs to companies that own both content rights and distribution channels. Yahoo has huge traffic in the era of mobile Internet, and Netflix is the largest genuine video site. These will play a vital role in the future development of Time Warner!", a reporter said

"Why does everyone seem to want us to buy Time Warner?" Zhou Shi wondered

"......" Baibei will read the latest chapter of "The Rebirth Legend of the Post-80s Legend Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
