Chapter 314: Confrontation with "Media Tycoon" Murdoch
Although I had thought that Princess Diana's departure might make things relatively smoother, I didn't expect it to go so smoothly, it was just a piece of cake. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
I have to say that Princess Diana's influence in the UK is still very large, as long as she comes forward, many people will choose to give face. What's more, the purchase price offered by Su Chenyu is not low, and even compared to Sky TV's continuous loss, this is definitely a very generous purchase price with a conscience.
With the end of Princess Diana's cleaning of the shares in the hands of shareholders, Su Chenyu's stake in Sky TV has also reached 40%, making it the second largest shareholder after Murdoch's News Corporation. The most important thing is that Su Chenyu and Murdoch hold more than 90% of the shares of Sky TV in total.
This means that as long as Su Chenyu gets Murdoch's shares in Sky TV, then he can directly turn it into a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tianchen Fund.
Now that the matter has come to this, it's time for a "king to king" drama.
Actually, Su Chenyu didn't know that now Murdoch was rushing from the United States to the United Kingdom in a hurry, because this guy had already received the news that Princess Diana had acquired Sky TV's shares.
So, Murdoch feels like he's really a dog, his side is expanding his territory in the United States, riding horses, and the United Kingdom is being pried into the corner.
Although Sky has been losing money since its establishment, and even the Sky Channel, which he previously founded as a sole proprietor, has lost more than 20 million pounds, Murdoch has never given up his determination to enter the field of satellite television.
Murdoch didn't expect that someone would now target the fat in his pot, so he couldn't give up control of Sky TV. Although Princess Diana has always been buying Sky TV's shares, Murdoch does not believe that the royal family and Diana have the ability and courage to enter the field of television media.
To put it mildly, in Murdoch's view, the British royal family is just a group of "clowns" who are displayed on the stage by big names. Therefore, Murdoch knows that behind Princess Diana or the British royal family, there must be a group of real "talkers".
In fact, Murdoch didn't know that there was no British royal family in this at all, and this time he really wronged the British royal family - but it didn't matter.
Hurried to the UK, the angry Murdoch was directly confused, because he didn't know how to find the "person behind the scenes". There is no way, Murdoch can only talk to Princess Diana first to see if he can fish out the mastermind behind it.
After receiving Murdoch's invitation to meet, Diana notified Su Chenyu as soon as possible, she knew that although this media tycoon in Europe and the United States was dating herself, the real target must be Su Dashuai. Therefore, Princess Diana wanted to see what Su Chenyu's opinion was on this matter - whether she would hide it from Murdoch first, or be ready to negotiate directly now.
Su Chenyu's choice is very simple, there is no need to hide, and he directly chooses to face Murdoch.
Waldorf Astoria London by Hilton, located in the heart of London, is a 5-star ultra-luxury hotel, and Murdoch invited Princess Diana to have afternoon tea here today.
Afternoon tea is a favorite way of social leisure for the British, and many British aristocrats like to "chat and fart" during afternoon tea time, or discuss some non-important matters.
For Princess Diana, Murdoch naturally knew him, but the handsome young man next to Diana was a little confused.
Could it be Princess Diana's new concubine? Others don't know about Princess Diana's "bad things", but as the big boss of the ubiquitous paparazzi, Murdoch knows it very clearly.
"Your Royal Highness, I am very glad that you are here. Murdoch said to Princess Diana with a flattering smile.
Princess Diana is still very familiar with Murdoch, you must know that this old man often goes in and out of the royal family, so she smiled faintly and said: "Mr. Murdoch, you are too enthusiastic." ”
Under Murdoch's guidance, Princess Diana and Su Chenyu sat down with him in a VIP seat, and after ordering afternoon tea and dessert - it was time to get down to business.
"Your Royal Highness the Princess, I don't know what the gentleman next to you is called?"
Seeing that Murdoch was the first to speak, at the signal of Princess Diana, Su Chenyu smiled and stretched out his hand to shake Murdoch, and then said: "Hello, Mr. Murdoch, I am a friend of Her Royal Highness the Princess, my name is Su Chenyu, you can call me Su." ”
"Friend, I think it's a friend in bed, right?" I have to say that Murdoch, an old man, is indeed obscene enough, constantly slandering the relationship between the two in his heart, but he still said with a serious face: "Hello, Sue, it's nice to meet you." ”
Princess Diana picked up the excellent black tea that the waitress had just brought up, took a sip, and then said with a smile: "Mr. Murdoch, I don't know what you are doing with you inviting me to afternoon tea this time?
"Her Royal Highness the Princess is really wise, I really have something to ask you, so I specially invite you out for afternoon tea today. Seeing that Princess Diana couldn't help but be the first to ask questions, Murdoch said with a confident smile.
Diana didn't have a good impression of Murdoch, a media mogul, or the "owner of the paparazzi", and directly sarcastically said: "Oh? I don't know if Mr. Murdoch needs to ask me about anything? Is it about the secrets of the royal family? You should know more about this than I do, right?"
"You have won the prize, naturally it is not about the secrets of the royal family, but there are other things to trouble you. Murdoch did not feel any embarrassment about Princess Diana's sarcasm, and seemed to say it proudly.
"What's the matter?"
"I heard that you recently bought a stake in Sky TV, I don't know if it's true or not?"
"Is it true? What? Mr. Murdoch can't tell you?"
"I can't talk about advice, I just want to know one thing!"
……
, seeing Princess Diana and Murdoch going back and forth, and the fierce rhetoric was fighting, Su Chenyu, a melon-eating crowd, said that it had nothing to do with me. So, when neither of them let anyone "spray" each other, Su Chenyu was not idle, constantly eliminating the delicate and delicious little desserts on the table.
After a "war of words", Murdoch said that he didn't seem to have an advantage in arguing with a woman for a quick time, so he directly named his intention and said: "I want to meet the person behind you? About Sky TV." ”
Suddenly, the dining table instantly became cold, and Su Chenyu's hand holding the dessert to put in his mouth stopped in mid-air, while Princess Diana looked at Su Dashuai with a smile. As for Murdoch, he wanted to see some clues from Princess Diana's face.
After putting the dessert in his hand into his mouth and chewing it, he picked up the napkin and wiped his hands, and then took a sip of the teacup in his hand, Su Chenyu said slowly: "Mr. Murdoch, do you want to see me?
Pointing at Su Chenyu, Murdoch said with a confused face: "You?"
Very satisfied with Murdoch's reaction, Su Chenyu also pointed at himself with a smile, and then said, "Yes, it's me." ”
"You...... You're the ...... Who is behind the scenes?" There is no doubt that Murdoch can't believe that Su Dashuai is the real mastermind behind the scenes.
Nodding with a smile, Su Chenyu said: "Let me introduce myself again, my name is Su Chenyu, in addition to being a friend of Princess Diana, I also have an identity!"
Murdoch asked eagerly, "What identity?"
"I am one of the partners of Tianchen Fund, of course, you can also think so, I can represent Tianchen Fund. ”
"Tianchen Fund?" Murdoch is no stranger to Tianchen Fund, and the acquisition of MGM also set off a huge wave in Hollywood, so he asked in disbelief: "MGM's parent company, that Tianchen Fund? Jim Rogers and Jamie Dimon are both shareholders of the Tianchen Fund?"
After taking a sip of the teacup, Su Chenyu said with a smile: "Bingo, but there is no reward." I don't know, what does Mr. Murdoch want to see me?"
Murdoch is worthy of Murdoch, and it is absolutely superhuman to be able to become a media tycoon across the world, and after a simple shock, Murdoch quickly calmed down, and then said: "What about Sky TV? I want to know why you bought Sky TV?"
After thinking about it, Su Chenyu muttered: "It's very simple, Tianchen Fund wants to extend the tentacles of film and television media into the UK and Europe, and Sky TV is our first target." We want to build a satellite TV network across Europe, with Sky TV as the center. ”
"Of course, I know that Sky TV is the holding company of Mr. Murdoch, but it seems that the business has not been very good in recent years, and it has been losing money year after year. Therefore, I accompanied Princess Diana to meet you this time, mainly to make a formal offer to you - to buy your stake in Sky TV. ”
"You can rest assured that the price will definitely satisfy you, as long as it is not too outrageous, we will not accept it in Tianchen Fund. What do you think?"
, now it was Murdoch's turn to be confused, and he asked the person behind Princess Diana to meet, hoping that the other party would give up the shares of Sky TV in his hands, so that he could complete the full ownership of Sky TV. It's good now, it's the other way around, the other party actually let himself give up the Sky TV shares in his hand, it's really a dog day - a typical rape is not a day!
So, Mr. Murdoch resolutely rejected Su Chenyu with righteous words: "Impossible, impossible!"
Seeing Murdoch's rabbit as if his tail had been stepped on, Su Chenyu smiled: "Oh?......?
