After the phone call with Murdoch was over, Li Feng naturally didn't take it seriously, but Li Feng didn't expect Murdoch to say this, but it was really unexpected by himself.

Obviously, there are really rumors of disagreement between Barry Diller and Murdoch, and Li Feng doesn't care about the grievances between the two, as long as it doesn't involve Tianyu Media, after all, this is a private matter.

"Haha... All right... Barry, what do you think of Sky Broadcasting's shares?"

"As far as I know, News Corp. owns more than 30% of Sky Broadcasting, in fact, Murdoch has been seeking to take a controlling stake in Sky Broadcasting Company for many years, but the shareholders have no intention of selling, after all, Sky Broadcasting has always performed well, is the largest television station in the United Kingdom, and has a huge brand reputation around the world. ”

Barry Diller didn't reply directly after thinking about it, but began to help explain, giving a brief explanation of the situation at Sky Broadcasting.

"Do you think I should promise Murdoch and fulfill him?"

"BOSS, it depends on what you think, in fact, Vivendi actually has the intention of buying Sky Broadcasting shares, thinking that as a new media group, Vivendi will not let go of the opportunity to be a stake in Sky Broadcasting in Europe's hometown. ”

"By the way, having said so much, how many shares are there, and according to the market value of Sky Broadcasting Company today, how much is it worth?" Li Feng also knew that such a major event could not be decided with a single click, so he asked with a smile.

"Hehe... , the shares are not much, only about 5%, but the value is very high, at least 500 million US dollars. ”

I have to say that the TV network is really valuable, and it took more than 100 million yuan to acquire it before, but I didn't think that just a little stake in the two TV broadcasting companies could recover most of the investment.

……

"Wow... , that's not just the sale of the shares of these two TV stations, and the money from the acquisition of EMI Film Company will come back most of it. Li Feng's eyes lit up, and then he replied jokingly.

"If you really think so, it's actually not bad, our acquisition of EMI itself is to improve MGM's global distribution channels, and to be honest, we didn't know that EMI still has such high-quality assets. Frank echoed with a smile.

"I always feel like it's a pity to sell it. ”

"BOSS, our interactive TV network has actually reached its peak in the United States until now, and several major TV networks will not let a super TV network rise in the United States, but you can consider cooperating with Murdoch.

There was news that CBS was going to sell it, but unfortunately, we went to contact us and were directly refused, as if Viacon had bought CBS.

Therefore, I don't think we have to sell the shares, we can consider working with Murdoch and entrusting the shares to him, so that he can further control Sky Broadcasting, Rupert is old after all, if we still want to develop in the TV network, maybe after Rupert retires, we can also seek News Corp's TV network, and now we can also have a good relationship with Rupertra.

Speaking of which, Rupert's stake in News Corp. is only about 30%, which is not an absolute controlling stake like BOSS you. If Rupert does retire, according to the abilities of Rupert's sons, the shareholders of News Corp. will never let the Murdoch family continue to control News Corp., and this may be your chance to be the boss. ”

Barry Diller thought of a new direction and explained to Li Feng.

Obviously, Barry's meaning is obvious, Li Feng's age advantage is too great, Murdoch's age is indeed old, and Li Feng can afford to wait.

……

It is unlikely that Murdoch's sons want to succeed Murdoch smoothly, after all, the ability of Murdoch's sons, Li Feng, Barry, and Frank, who are several Hollywood giants, know very well, their abilities are really average, and every time something happens, Murdoch, the old fox, is helping to wipe his ass.

"BOSS, I think Barry's proposal is good, for example, you can sign an amicable agreement with Murdoch, in case Murdoch's News Corp. doesn't have a good successor, you can have a right of first refusal to buy the shares of the Murdoch family, buy or something, that's perfect. Frank echoed with his eyes shining at this time.

"That's not bad..."

Hearing Barry Diller's words, Li Feng was really shocked in his heart.

Seriously speaking, Li Feng's interactive television network has become the second largest television network in the United States, in addition to the acquisition of nearly 50 local television stations, but also merged with the satellite television company Direct TV, which originally belonged to Hughes Electronics.

Direct TV is the largest satellite TV company in the United States, with 12 million subscribers in the United States, and the original history was acquired by Murdoch in 02, but before Hughes was acquired by Li Feng, Li Feng naturally will not sell it, and directly merged with the interactive TV company and integrated into the TV network.

Because of this, in addition to several major TV networks in the United States today, Li Feng's interactive TV company is already the first TV network under the veritable number one, but unfortunately, the scale has reached its peak today, and several major TV networks have also begun to suppress interactive TV networks.

The more Li Feng thought about it, the more he felt that Barry Diller's proposal was good, if he waited until Murdoch grew old, Murdoch's sons would not have the ability of Lao Tzu, maybe it would be very lively at that time to fight for power and profit in News Corp.

If you secretly intervene at that time, is it possible to directly buy News Corporation, if you can control News Corporation, then you will be a bull.

……

It's a pity that Li Feng really doesn't know at this time, he can only blame him for being reborn a little earlier, and similarly, he can only blame Li Feng for being an ordinary citizen in his previous life, in fact, the News Corp in his previous life was split up in 2013.

The entire news group is divided into two, one is the news and publishing business, including newspapers, magazines and other publishing and distribution businesses, still in the name of the news group, this business after the split, the market value is only about 5 billion US dollars, and it is facing many difficulties, after all, with the development of the Internet, paper media is becoming more and more sluggish is a trend;

The other is the 20th Century Fox Company, which includes the film and television media business, which is the largest part of the later. Later, as Rupert Murdoch grew old and retired, there was no capable person in the Murdoch family to succeed him, and after Li Feng's rebirth, 20th Century Fox was really acquired by Disney.

If Li Feng starts to lay out at this time, maybe the competition of 20th Century Fox in the future will be one more Tianyu Media Group under Li Feng, who knows!!

Of course, this is built in the future, who knows when Murdoch will retire, anyway, when Li Feng is reborn, he is still a famous media tycoon in the world.
