As the first masterpiece of New Universal Group this year, the premiere of "Ghost Rider" came to many heavyweight guests.

In addition to Marvel's superheroes, many New York celebrities also appeared.

This is to give Don face.

People with heads and brains, everyone understands the prestige, strength and potential of Don in this era!

This year's Forbes Global Rich List has been officially released!

Don's personal assets, up to $60.5 billion!

In this list, it is far ahead!

Even Bill Gates, the richest man in the world in the past decade, has a net worth of $13.3 billion behind!

You know, Don is only 26 years old!

This year, Google, in which Donn has a direct stake, will go public, as will a number of Asian Internet companies that indirectly hold shares through the Scott Swift Foundation.

It is conceivable that in the next few years, his personal wealth will enter a period of explosive growth.

It is said that celebrities in the entertainment industry and social elites from all walks of life have to tie up Tang En's points at this time.

As Donn, entertainment stars don't need him to entertain them personally, and most of New York's business elites are nodding friends.

However, there was one person Donn had to receive in person — Steve Burke, Comcast's president and chief operating officer.

It was a surprise that he could come to this premiere in person.

"Yo, look at your complexion...... The NBC Group acquisition is almost over, isn't it?" Donn smiled as he walked over and shook his hand warmly.

Steve Burke cautiously pointed to the corner next to him, avoiding the many people at the party, and whispered, "Trouble!"

"Isn't it?" said Donn with a look of disbelief and a smirk, "NBC has been looking for a partner for years. Can they say no to Comcast?"

Steve Burke shook his head, hesitated, and said bluntly, "Our boss...... A bit demanding and demanding. ”

"Oh?"

"He wasn't happy with 49 percent of the shares, and he insisted on taking 51 percent. ”

"Take control of NBC directly?" Donn was slightly stunned, and then bowed his head, "Well, this ambition seems to be the handiwork of Roberts and his wife." Two years ago, they were clamoring to buy Disney. ”

Steve Burke's face was slightly embarrassed and said, "Disney...... It's just a temptation, in fact, we all know that it's impossible. ”

Tang En waved his hand, glanced at him meaningfully, and said with a smile: "It's easy to take 49% of the shares, but if you want to get control in one go and buy 51% of the shares, this deal is ...... Got stuck, right?"

Steve Burke said bitterly: "It's not just difficult, General Electric and NBC have to refuse to negotiate for a while." ”

"Get some more chips. ”

"We've already opened $9.5 billion in cash! plus $5.5 billion in debt, the total offer is $15 billion!"

"$15 billion?" Don looked surprised, "None of them agreed to this condition?"

Steve Burke shook his head and said, "They don't want to give up control of NBC at this time. ”

Don squinted slightly, but he could also understand.

After Jack Welch resigned from General Electric, GE ...... As if losing the backbone, the stock price has been falling for the past few years, and the sales of the product have also declined.

At this time, GE is also looking forward to promoting GE's image and advertising products through NBC's communication influence. Naturally, it is not easy to relinquish control.

Of course, there is no such thing as a business that cannot be discussed.

"What do you need me to do?"

Don stared straight at the other party, already seeing what he meant.

Steve Burke was able to come over in his busy schedule and attend the reception after the premiere, which was obviously planned.

Sure enough, he confessed: "Tomorrow, I will take the team to NBC for inspection." If you have time...... Can you come with us?"

"Me?" Tang En looked at him deeply, his face indifferent, "The itinerary is full, I'm afraid I can't make a mistake." ”

Of course Don understood what the other party meant.

Following Comcast's team and inspecting NBC together is equivalent to giving Comcast a platform.

It is tantamount to telling GE and NBC in disguise that Don supports Comcast to get control of NBC!

Don didn't even need to say a word, as soon as he appeared, he could solve a lot of trouble for Comcast.

This is the face of the supreme in the industry.

If people at the bottom want to have a better life, they have to give up their face, or even give up their dignity to find opportunities, such as female stars who will scramble to climb into Don's bed.

But when it comes to Donn's class, face often represents pricelessness.

Executives at General Electric and NBC aren't as stupid as Quentin Tarantino.

Tang Endu personally called and told him not to participate in "Fahrenheit 911", but he still dared to refuse?

It's the kind of mistake that NBC bosses certainly don't make.

You know, New Globe Group is the largest TV show manufacturer in the United States today!

Although New Globe does not have giant TV networks such as NBC and CBS, New Globe can produce TV programs with big ratings!

In the past few years, the TV program rankings of major public television networks, in addition to classic TV series such as "Friends" and "Seinfeld", as well as the most popular night talk show among American audiences, TV programs produced by New Globe Group, almost dominate the list!

"American Idol", "Truth or Dare", "The Bachelor", "Universal Top Model", "Brave and Brave", ...... Which one isn't a reality show with extremely high ratings?

New Globe does not have a public television network business, which means that New Globe and the four major TV stations ABC, NBC, CBS, and FOX are not competitors.

can easily sell TV content products among the four major TV stations.

Make money for yourself through other people's platform channels.

It's a good thing.

Especially this year, after New Universal decided that it would not get involved in the public TV network business in the short term, it began to change its development thinking, from channel expansion to content production.

In addition to reality TV, a number of TV series including "The Office", "Mom and Dad's Romance", "S.H.I.E.L.D.", and "Mad Men" have been put on the production agenda.

Among them, NBC has preliminarily finalized the broadcast of two TV series, namely "Office" and "Romance of Mom and Dad".

Therefore, whether it is Donne's wealth, status, connections and influence, or the cooperation with New Universal, NBC must give him a face.

Otherwise...... If New Globe no longer works with NBC, it will be a huge loss that cannot be afforded.

Steve Burke knew that Donn was talking about conditions, and said in a low voice: "We are willing to reduce the operating commission of STA TV network by one percentage point. ”

STA now has 24.5 million paying home subscribers, of which Comcast accounts for 18 million.

Previously, when Comcast operated exclusively, the operating commission was 8%.

Later, New Global canceled the exclusive operation right, and Comcast's operating commission naturally increased, becoming the industry's prevailing 10%.

If it can be reduced by one percentage point to 9%, it is also a good condition.

18 million paying subscribers, $1.7 billion in total annual subscription revenue!

1% spread...... That's $17 million!

Tang En still said with a difficult face: "No, there is really something tomorrow, and I have already made an appointment." ”

Comcast relies on the STA TV network, earns so much in a year, and solves such a big cash flow problem, shouldn't it give up some benefits to New Globe?

This is a fundamental rule of business.

He won't be tempted by this little money.

Steve Burke went on to say, "Exploring the promotion of the Communication Channel...... We will do our best to use all resources, including business in Europe and Latin America. ”

That's a good condition.

Tang En nodded slightly, but still did not let go.

"I heard...... You're in some trouble in the UK?" Steve Burke finally threw the biggest bait.

Sure enough, Don En's face changed, and he looked at him seriously, "Do you have a way?"

Steve Burke smiled slightly, "Is it the BBC?"

Don En narrowed his eyes, his face slightly cold, "Your sources...... It's really powerful. ”

Steve Burke disagreed, and said with a smile: "Six years ago, Comcast bought a TV operating company Prime_Communication which included part of the UK TV business. ”

"Huh?" Donn's face flashed in disbelief, "It can't have anything to do with the BBC, right?"

"There are some connections, including five channels such as sports and music, all of which have business dealings. ”

"Good!

Don couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

Damn, they're all human spirits!

Murdoch's News Corp. was enough to shock him, and only then did he know that these powerful media empires are intricately related, and the background is really not to be underestimated.

"So, can you spare time tomorrow?" Steve Burke looked at Don with a grin.

Tang En was not embarrassed, the business relationship was originally a transactional relationship, and nodded and said, "Well, these three conditions are all very good." But...... Steve, BBC, can you really talk? Don't pretend to be a big-tailed wolf!"

Steve Burke laughed, "If you have business dealings, you naturally have the opportunity to speak." Besides, you don't really want to do anything to the BBC, do you? You can just show some muscles, right? In that case, the BBC always has to give Comcast a face. ”

"Well, tomorrow...... Let's go to NBC together!"

Don took a deep breath.

No wonder Michael Eisner often told him in private that he didn't regret missing Jeffrey Katzenberg and firing Michael Owitz.

The most regrettable thing is to let Steve Burke go.

He would be the perfect successor.

When we met today, I really felt the same way.

With Steve Burke, Comcast is really going to complete the transformation from a TV giant to an entertainment giant. (https:)
