Chapter 356: How Weird the Big Guy Is

Tang En suddenly had some doubts in his heart.

Wouldn't you be too cautious?

Professional cable TV field...... Even the big HBO network is now $1 billion.

Lei Shidong is in charge of a $100 billion media empire, will he take this small business sector that supports $1 billion in his eyes? Even if STA TV really touches the interests of SHO TV Network, will he really put down his face and attack STA TV Network?

Don hates the feeling that the initiative is not in his hands, he is controlled by others, and it is too depressing!

Strength, we still have to expand our strength as soon as possible!

In terms of personal wealth, Tang En is rich enough, but the sphere of influence and power coverage he controls are still too small.

Lei Shidong is an elite in the business world, and in terms of social etiquette, he must have done a perfect job, and Tang En just entered for a minute, and he watched him walk over with steady steps and a full spring breeze.

"I've had a few more conversations with a few old guys over there, I'm sorry for waiting for a long time. Lei Shidong stretched out his hands from a distance and walked briskly, as enthusiastic as many little stars who please Donne.

But of course, this is not a flattery, but a courtesy.

Tang En was flattered, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he immediately walked up and bowed down to shake his hand. I felt that he was really too old, and the muscles in his hands had atrophied to a layer of skin, but it was warm enough and strong enough.

"Mr. Lei Shidong, you are my long-admired senior, don't say that!"

Don was taller than him, hunched over as if he were bowing.

The people who were able to attend this banquet were all the elite of the business world, and as far as the eye could see, except for some female companions, the youngest man had to be in his fifties.

Only Donne, a young man in his twenties.

It immediately attracted the attention of the audience.

Seeing Don En "bow" so humbly, many old guys smiled and nodded secretly.

Good boy, it's not as flamboyant as the outside world rumores!

Lei Shidong said very slowly: "You don't dislike us old guys, come over and cheer, let my old man have a light on his face!"

Tang En smiled and complimented: "Old fellow, Mr. Lei Shidong, in my opinion, you are still young and strong!"

Lei Shidong listened and laughed.

He is 78 years old, and he still holds the power of the Viacom Group, so he obviously does not accept old age.

Seeing him laughing, Tang En took the opportunity to say: "Mr. Lei Shidong, my company has a lot of business dealings with your Viacom Group, and I still need your control and support in the future." ”

"Oh?"

Lei Shidong raised his eyebrows.

Tosca Musk was by his side and said with a smile: "The Sriwood Animation I am responsible for produced a computer CG animation "Fantastic Four", and it was handed over to Nick Rodeon Channel. Our company produces the music reality show "American Idol", and the partner is also CBS. ”

Lei Shidong glanced at her and shook hands with her gently.

Don explained with a smile, "She's my assistant, Tosca Musk, the vice president of Down Pictures. ”

"Sure enough, it's a new company, full of vigor!" Lei Shidong hooked a smile at the corner of his mouth, "By the way, I heard that your TV station ...... Starz, did a good job?"

Tang En's heart jumped, he quickly calmed down, and said quietly: "It's just a small fight, in front of a big man like you, it's not worth mentioning." ”

Lei Shidong said with a smile: "I think the development is quite good, but ...... As a person who has come before, I will pass on some experience to you, all the way in business, which is the same as my grandson's test results. It's easy to get from D to B, it's 10 times harder to get from B to A, and 100 times harder to get from A to A+. ”

Tang En's back tightened, he took a deep breath, and immediately straightened up, "Mr. Lei Shidong, what you said is so reasonable, I have benefited a lot! STA TV network is indeed facing such a problem, in the early stage of development, it seems to be smooth, but it still needs a long way to go to really turn installed users into subscribers." ”

"Little guy, very smart!" Lei Shidong patted him on the shoulder, "I won't talk to you more, I'll go over there and have a drink with a few old friends." ”

Tang En let out a secret breath, the expression on his face cloudy.

Talking to such a big person, every second is really stressful.

Tosca Musk leaned over and lowered his voice, "Are we too careful......?" He looks friendly, and he's a big guy, so he doesn't have to deal with young people like us, right?"

The corners of Tang En's mouth hooked slightly, looking at his back as he walked away, his eyes were deep, "The more big people like this, the more they can't see through their minds." I hate it!"

Tosca Musk exhaled, "Anyway, we did everything we had to do, even if he ...... There is really some suppression, and it can at least be deceived for a while. ”

"That's the truth, be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years!" Don snorted lightly, "look at the world with the greatest kindness, magnify the subtlety, there is ugliness everywhere, and if you look at others with the greatest malice, then everywhere you look, you will find beauty everywhere." ”

Tosca Musk pursed his lips and smiled, "You're quite philosophical. ”

……

It is impossible for a master of Lei Shidong's level to introduce the guests present one by one for Tang En, a junior.

This depends on Donn's initiative.

Fortunately, Tosca Musk's job is very competent, and almost all of the bigwigs in the industry have been investigated.

Under her introduction, Don met many legends in the cable TV field, such as Ted Turner, vice chairman of Time Warner, Robert Johnson, founder of Black Entertainment Television, and John Hendrix, founder of Discovery Media.

Of course, there was not much conversation, and there was no substance.

Until he met Mr. Conrad Black, chairman and CEO of Holinger International, the world's third-largest newspaper group......

This guy is like a madman.

"I have a vendetta against that guy, the one in blue. ”

The direction of Conrad Black's finger shocked Donn, it was Rupert Murdoch, the big boss of News Corporation!

The corners of Donn's mouth twitched, not knowing how to answer.

He knew that Conrad Black was Canadian, and this time he flew to Los Angeles to attend Lei Shidong's banquet.

Even if you are a foreigner, you are also a business elite, right?

It's a little too direct.

"I control hundreds of town newspapers in the United States, and although they are not large, they are numerous!"

Conrad Black ignored Donn's surprised look and muttered to himself.

Donn was confused, and it was difficult to understand what this Mr. Black was trying to say.

Immediately afterwards, Conrad Black opened his mouth again, "News Corporation's business is not small, in addition to the newspaper industry and I have a direct competition relationship, it is also involved in the film and television business, especially the television business!"

Don didn't want to cause big trouble, so for the sake of safety, he hurriedly said: "I and Twentieth Century Fox are business partners. ”

However, Conrad Black didn't care what Donn was talking about, and said quickly: "You are very capable, and the enterprise is developing quickly." Whether it is Viacom or News Corporation, there will be checks and balances in the future stage of development. ”

Donne's face turned pale, "Mr. Black, I think you misunderstood......"

Conrad Black waved his hand, interrupted him directly, took out a business card from his arms, and handed it to Donne, "If you want to cooperate, you can find me, my opponent is Murdoch!"

After saying that, he turned around and walked away.

Leave no cloud behind.

Don was stunned, and glanced at Tosca Musk behind him, revealing a bit of consternation and gaffe.

What's going on?

Could it be that the big guys are all weirdos like this?

Lei Shidong's weirdness is that he hides a knife in his smile, this Conrad Black is too neat and neat.

Straightforward and fast-talking don't look like a businessman at all!

Have a vendetta against Murdoch?

Not...... You can take advantage of the opportunity.

Don took a glass of wine and accompanied by Tosca Musk around the banquet hall, and finally saw two familiar old friends - Steven Spielberg and Francis Coppola!

In terms of fame, Steven Spielberg is definitely the number one director in Hollywood today, and he has captured everything from commercial films and literary films.

However, Donn keenly discovered that among this group of media bigwigs, Francis Coppola was the more popular.

"It should be that the old guys prefer the Godfather trilogy, right?"

Don shook his head, feeling a little emotional.

He has held many banquets and parties in the past, and the guests who came were also star-studded, Leonardo Ricaprio, Tom Hanks, Mel Gibson, Nicole Kidman, Jodie Foster, these people are very face-saving.

But...... It's limited to the "star".

Like Lei Shidong's birthday party, it is a real top party!

Except for Donn and Spielberg, the two company owners, Hollywood's real artists, only one Francis Coppola has big eyes!

A great director with insane influence in the elite class!

As for the so-called big stars, who are glamorous and radiant in the outside world, they are here......

It's really not qualified!

Even the female companions of big names reject female stars.

"Donne, Donn, look, three o'clock!"

Don was still lamenting the low status of the actor, and was still thinking about whether to go up and chat with Spielberg, when he heard Toscar Musk constantly calling in his ear, and his voice revealed unconcealed excitement.

"Who?"

Don looked in the direction of three o'clock, and saw a bald old man, with a round face and a high forehead, and kind eyes, shaking and holding a wine glass at this side, and then came over with a smile.

Tosca Musk was about to cry out excitedly, "Donn, he's coming! He's really going this way!"

"Who the hell is it?" Don was confused, crying and laughing.

"You don't even know him?"

Tosca Musk didn't know what to say, and gritted his teeth a little, "He is a real genius! The big guy among the big guys, the elite of the elite! The two most well-known big names in the global business world, one is Bill Gates, and the other is him!"
