736 Goodbye Lei Shidong, Murdoch

"Barry, Jay, I think this might be an opportunity. Li Feng replied to the two with a smile after thinking for a while.

"Hehe... ,BOSS,You said before that although our own TV network is doing well,But after all, the scale is basically at its peak today.。

Although it is okay to compete with others, for example, CBS is now in the process of merger, and it is said that Wiacom has quoted more than $35 billion. BOSS: Didn't you say that the value is too high, and that the potential of the Internet in the future is even more valuable than that.

It was with this in mind that when I heard the news from Jie Houjiao, after personally investigating Vivendi's previous expansion path, I found that this might be an opportunity.

Vivendi is different from us, now Vivendi already has a television network covering Europe, and it is clear that they are now looking at the American market, after all, the United States is the center of the world's media and entertainment industry.

Besides, Vivendi's initial offer is very tempting!" Barry Diller replied with a smile at the end.

Obviously, Barry Diller is very clear about Li Feng's development plan for the media and television industry, and it is precisely because he knows Li Feng's layout that Barry Diller also feels that this is an opportunity.

In the previous life, Barry said that the TV network he set up was also sold to Vivendi, and the TV network in this life is a little more powerful than the interactive TV network in the previous life, and Li Feng is looking forward to how much he can offer.

"Barry, boss, then I'll go back and try to get in touch with Vivendi first?" Hearing the words of his immediate boss Barry Diller and the big boss behind the scenes, Jahou Saidu's eyes suddenly lit up and he replied with a smile.

"Well, yes, let's have a preliminary contact first. ”

“…”

"John, what are you talking about, do you mind if we come over and listen?"

......

Just when Li Feng finished talking with Barry and Jiehou Saidou, a greeting came, which made Li Feng a little surprised, after all, Li Feng was talking about business, so it was not polite to come over rashly.

"Hi... , Who should I be, Summer, Rupert, you two are also here, I haven't seen you for a while, how are you doing!" After seeing the visitor, Li Feng immediately responded with a smile.

That's right, but the people who came were two super-tycoons in the media industry, namely Viacom's boss Lei Shidong and News Corporation's Murdoch, and I think only such a super-boss would come directly like this.

"Barry, which company have you been busy acquiring lately?"

The two walked over and turned their heads to joke after nodding to Li Feng, after all, Tianyu Media has been acquiring all the way since its establishment, and it has not stopped until now, no wonder the two bigwigs also joked.

"Summer, I was just having a casual conversation with John about Viacom's acquisition of CBS, and John said that our interactive television network is too small and Columbia is a very good platform. In the face of Lei Shidong's joke, Barry Dile was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and immediately quipped back.

"Yes, Barry, I'm determined to win Colombia, so you'd better choose another one. "People at the level of Li Feng and Lei Shidong are actually sometimes more straightforward at the level of communication, and there is no need to hide it, no, hearing Barry Diller's counterattack, Lei Shidong immediately raised his eyebrows and directly counterattacked.

"Jay, when did you come to Los Angeles?" Seeing that Barry Diller and Lei Shidong were in a bit of a different posture, Murdoch, who was on the side, suddenly interjected with a smile.

"Rupert, do you know Jawro?"

"John, EMI is one of the major shareholders of Sky TV, and Jahou naturally knows it. ”

"Oh... , John, is this the chairman of EMI Company, Jahou Seydoux?" Hearing Li Feng and Murdoch's words, Lei Shidong's attention was diverted, obviously, as a big man in the media industry, he should also have a certain understanding of the chairman and CEO of the famous EMI company in Europe, and suddenly said with a smile.

"Somer, let me introduce you, this is Mr. Jahou Seydu, the chairman of the board of directors of Baidai Company, Mr. Jahou Sadhu, this is Mr. Lei Shidong of the famous Viacom, I think Mr. Lei Shidong should be familiar to you. ”

"BOSS, Lei Shidong's name As a member of the media and entertainment industry, I have naturally heard of it for a long time, Mr. Lei Shidong, it's a pleasure to meet you, I'm Jiehou Saidu. ”

"Hello, Baidai Company is naturally famous, and Mr. Jie Hou Juan is famous, isn't it!"

"Haha... , and have the opportunity to communicate more in the future!"

“...”

......

"John, in fact, I have always been very interested in the Sky TV shares in the name of Momoyo, and we have been in contact before, so why don't you sell them to me. ”

"Rupert, you know I'm not short of money, why don't you just exchange News Corp. shares for me?"

"John, it's not impossible to talk about it, but I can only give you ordinary tradable shares, and you have to add John's satellite TV operating company DirecTV, how about it?"

"DirecTV?" Li Feng muttered to himself.

"Rupert, you are not a condition for negotiation, where is there such a good thing, DirecTV is the largest satellite TV operator in the United States, is the core business of Tianyu Media, and if News Corp. owns DirecTV, then you can integrate all the TV news networks that your News Corp. has in the world. ”

As a veteran media person, Barry Diller is well aware of the importance of satellite TV operators to TV networks and news media, especially News Corporation's television network, which was established under the leadership of Barry Diller.

"I see, Rupert, you're bullying me for not understanding the TV network, you're not a friend!" After listening to Barry's explanation, Li Feng suddenly replied angrily.

"John, you can't blame me, although we're good friends, we're in business, aren't we?"

"Yes, to be honest, although I really thought I had heard of DirecTV before, I guess it was incidental when I bought Hughes before, but I didn't expect that Hughes would have such good things!"

Li Feng remembered a little about DirecTV at this time, which was an incidental product of the acquisition of Hughes, after all, Hughes is the world's largest satellite operator, and by the way, it has the largest satellite TV operation network in the United States and even the world.

"John, you're out of shit luck and let you cut off your beard in advance!"

"Haha... Rupert, I can't be blamed for that, except that your News Corp is too slow to respond, isn't it?"

"Haha..."

“...”

......

With the verbal exchange between Li Feng and Murdoch, especially seeing Li Feng's cheap and obedient behavior and Murdoch's deflated appearance as a media tycoon, everyone laughed.

Originally, the largest satellite TV operator in the United States was indeed acquired by Murdoch, and the competitor at that time was Vivendi, but at that time, Vivendi acquired the second largest satellite TV operator of the United States after the final consideration, which made DirecTV owned by News Corporation.

In the previous life, Hughes Company was acquired by the US imperialist military giant Raytheon, and the operation of satellite television was naturally not the main business of the military giant, so it was included in the list of sales. In the 90s, the two most important mergers and acquisitions of Raytheon were cut off, which led to Li Feng's military enterprises directly reaching a level of equal strength with the original Raytheon.

In fact, people originally wanted to re-acquire the two major businesses of Texas Instruments and Hughes, but after some exchanges and negotiations, Raytheon was further merged.

At the beginning, when integrating resources, DirecTV was directly sold to an affiliated company, Tianyu Media Group, which naturally became one of the core businesses of the media group.

Murdoch and other media tycoons can only stare and look greedy, after all, Li Feng, the new super tycoon, in addition to a shorter rise time, even has a status above these media tycoons such as Murdoch.

Li Feng's career is not only a little media business, in addition to being a new media tycoon, he is also a series of titles such as a military giant, an Internet technology tycoon, and a real estate tycoon in the United States. To put it bluntly, people like Li Feng can really influence the direction of the American government, after all, many of Li Feng's industries involve the real strength of the United States, such as the most important military.
