Time Warner is a super multinational media company founded in 1990 and headquartered in New York. Its business spans the publishing, film and television industries, including Time Magazine, Sports Illustrated, Fortune Magazine, Life Magazine, Turner Television Network, CNN, HBO, DC Comics, Warner Bros. and other globally influential media outlets.

Mark owns MM, but the road to empire expansion will not stop, like Mei Duo, who owns News Corporation, has been trying to buy Time Warner and make it the number one in the world, and the rumors of Mei Duo trying to buy Time Warner have been constant.

After several great changes, Time Warner fell into the hands of tycoon Martin Davis after the failure of the marriage of the century with Mi Guo Online, Martin, who had no obvious intention of acquiring Time Warner, did not make any major reforms, but just kept him alive and dead.

Mark swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "The FTC won't agree." ”

Martin said: "Money can make ghosts grind, as long as the price is right, they can cut off the kidney and sell it to you." ”

The other party's bidding and way of doing things are far above his estimation and imagination, and Mark feels that the other party seems to be a person with a golden finger, he is ahead step by step, and he can always suppress Mark and make his plans and plans fail.

In just three years, he became the biggest boss of Time Warner, and he became the most powerful person in North America.

People in the media industry, who doesn't want to have it, Mark doesn't care about money, but he's quite interested in things that money can't buy.

Even over the phone, Martin felt Mark's greed and swallowing, and he said, "I'm willing to sell, as for how to convince those vampires in Congress, that's your business, and you should be quite satisfied with my offer." ”

Mark said, "Yes. He was sighing, this is the super-rich, this is the person who treats money as a number, Mark is even wondering, is the other party aware of something? Now Martin is doing things, airtight, there is no flaw, it is really a tiger's bite and cunning, and there is no way to say it!

With such a big piece of fat thrown out, who can refuse?

Martin asked, "What do you think?"

Mark said: "Deal!"

Martin laughed and hung up.

Mark immediately called David (Wang) to discuss the matter with him, and David exclaimed: "Fathers are not so good to their sons, is it true that the rumors outside are true?" ”

Rumors outside refer to the fact that after Martin's death, all the inheritance was inherited by Mark.

Mark said: "Who knows what he thinks, but he has no extra choice. ”

David and the others immediately called Donald and flew to Washington together to discuss with Sophia, this was another expansion of the family business, and several key leaders had to participate and make decisions together.

Donald said: "Where does the money come from? Time Warner's market value is as high as 80 billion, and 30 percent is about 25 billion, and it is a pit, and it has been in the red." ”

Sophia said: "The key to making the foundation debt financing is how to get the consent of Congress and bypass the restrictions of relevant laws and regulations, which is the most important thing." ”

As one of the members of the Federal Reserve Bank, she has the means to get money and the means of financing, but she should not be broken up as a trust company.

David said: "I am in charge of this, our lobbyists will lobby Congress to get them to agree to our plan, at most find a personal practitioner representative, as long as we do not directly merge him under the family fund, it is not a monopoly, we can bypass this by registering an offshore company." ”

The Rockefellers and the Morgan family did not feel that they had a lot of money, and King Mark did not think that they had a lot of money, but they saw this as an opportunity to expand their influence and turn the family business into an empire, and they were very concerned about this.

When they only had assets of two or three billion, they dared to plot against Columbia and MGM, which are tens of billions of dollars, and now that they have tens of billions of capital, plotting against Time Warner is not a risky thing at all.

Time Warner has many advantages that MM does not have, and currently publishes more than 64 magazines, and among the five best-selling magazines in the whole country, Time Warner occupies 4 of them, namely "Time", "People", "Sports Illustrated" and "Fortune", in addition to other famous magazines include Entertainment Weekly, Fortune Magazine, InStyle, etc., accounting for 24% of the advertising revenue of consumer magazines in the United States.

The world's largest online instant messaging software (ICQ), the world's largest online map service provider, and the world's largest Internet access service provider (with 30 million users in Mi countries and 6 million international users in 16 countries), accounting for 75% of the country The most abundant cable TV channel in the United States (TBS has 80 million Chinese viewers), and the cable news channel with the largest audience in the United States (CNN has 78 million Chinese viewers and 151 million international users in 212 countries and regions).

The most abundant cable movie channel in the United States (HBO has 36.7 million domestic viewers and 12 million international users in 50 countries), the second largest cable network operator in the United States, the second largest film and television library in the world, the world's largest CD and DVD manufacturer, and 64 magazines and 268 million readers.

Time Warner has more than 200 branches around the world, and in 1996, two-thirds of Time Warner's revenue came from the United States, but their expectation for that number was to end up being less than one-half. It can be seen that Time Warner positions itself as a global media group, and it hopes that its global business strategy can stimulate its own development.

Time Warner is the absolute winner and is the main operator of any media type and any form of media content in the world.

MM is more in terms of entertainment, and they have great advantages in people's livelihood and civil facilities, and they are the strongest in terms of traditional media, and this happens to be the shortcomings of MM, the two complement each other, MM will become the largest media empire on the planet.

This is the media empire that Lei Shidong, Mei Duo, and Eisner dreamed of, a bit as powerful as the original Disney.

In Mark's original world, Netfy, Amazon, HuTu and other streaming media have a comprehensive impact on the film industry, making Hollywood mourn all over the wilderness, after Disney dominates and becomes a super media, in order to resist the impact of Disney Naifei, Amazon, etc., Time Warner sold AT*T, and News Corp. sold all the film and television business to the telecommunications giant Kongscart, forming a situation where a super consortium controls Hollywood, which is the future development trend, but now, it is a very forbidden and sensitive topic.

Even the Wang family fund controlling MM and Time Warner is inappropriate, there is a suspicion of violating the ban, the current example of this is the acquisition of Time Warner by Mi Guo Online, but this is a textbook-level failure, and the current federal legal provisions do not explicitly support this, which means that they have to exploit legal loopholes to succeed.

Fortunately, David is one of the top 100 lawyers in the country, has a law firm, is well versed in the essence of the law of the United States, and has deep connections in the judicial community, and he will make a plan for Mark to ensure that they do not step on the thunder in the merger and acquisition action.

"Money is not an issue, Martin has promised that the money can be paid when it is available," Mark said. ”

This is enough to cheat the father, tens of billions of large transactions, the most important thing is not money, as if Martin is just looking for an excuse to give Time Warner to Mark.

This is Mark's dilemma, he can't make the deal between him and Martin public, which makes people always unable to see through the deal and the situation between them, and makes people feel that everything is so strange and even ridiculous.

Martin is so good to Mark, textbook-like interpretation of what it means to receive a drop of water from others, to repay it with a spring, and everything in front of him is very unreasonable.

Mark knew that it would not be so strange if this shocking secret was known to others, but this secret was too heavy, Mark didn't want to turn against anyone in front of him, so he had to keep it secret and bear the responsibility alone, he said: "Martin knows that his life is not long in coming, his things, if you don't give it to me, will be confiscated by the government, he doesn't have many options, there is no heir, his empire is just a castle on the sand." ”

Donald exclaimed, "Don't want money, really don't want money, man, it's more than ten days before April Fool's Day!" Seeing that Mark was smiling and serious, he slapped his forehead and said, "God! The rumors are true." ”

Mark said: "I know what's going to happen in the next three years, and Martin is trading Time Warner for it. ”

Donald punched him and said, "You're really kidding." ”

David said: "This is easier to do, the biggest problem of the merger and acquisition of Time Warner is money, if the problem of money is solved, the rest is not a problem, we can easily solve and overcome." ”

David and Sophia's biggest worry is that after a large amount of money is withdrawn, what will happen to the crisis? Without money, they will not be able to cope with the crisis and run a new company better.

Sophia muttered, "We'll do everything we can to help you." ”

Of course, Mark could hear the meaning of Sophia's words, and he said: "Not to help me, but to help the family fund, of course, this time I want a large share, fifty percent, and I have several lovers, it's time to give someone an explanation." ”

David was relieved, "Okay, I'll take care of everything for you, and I can make sure that this is the guarantee of your love for all eternity." ”

David's meaning is obvious, if you follow Mark, this part of the equity is theirs, but if you run away or break up, they can take it back at any time.

That's exactly what Mark wants.

Donald said: "This guy is really willing to spend money, but luckily Giselle is not here, she will tear you up." ”

Sophia said: "To control Time Warner, you must first have the support of one person. ”
