As Jared and Affram said, in the future, Lin Fan may play the role of some of the best government mouthpieces, as the controller of Twitter, the largest social networking site in the United States, the owner of Universal, the owner of the New York Times, and many Wall Street giants have a good relationship, Lin Fan can play a great role.

In exchange, Lin Fan's acquisition of the American company encountered the problem of difficulty in passing the bill in the parliament, and *** will help Lin Fan pass it. The two rely on each other, but Lin Fan is not content to act as a mouthpiece for the government, but genuinely wants to have his own voice in the United States, and his influence is far from enough.

"Colt, what other big newspapers in the United States are in crisis right now? ”

Only Colt, Lin Fan's personal lawyer, would know how terrifying Lin Fan's worth was, but he was still surprised by Lin Fan's endless desire to expand.

"The 146-year-old Seattle Post is recently announcing its closure, the 150-year-old Rocky Mountain News has ceased publication, the New York News, which ranks fifth in the United States, is about to go bankrupt, and the Los Angeles Times, which ranks fourth, is also in bankruptcy crisis......."

With Colt's series of words, Lin Fan said that it was false that he was not impressed, and now this world will really give people the illusion that as long as they have money, they can buy it casually. However, Lin Fan knows that for example, even if the Los Angeles Times declares bankruptcy, it will not fall into the hands of others, because behind this newspaper is the Morgan consortium.

Colt looked at a series of materials and made a final summary to Lin Fan, "If the boss wants to become a media tycoon in one fell swoop, it will be an extremely convenient way to acquire the Tribune Group, which owns ten daily newspapers and 23 television stations, and has three of the top ten newspapers in the United States. ”

Lin Fan couldn't explain his concerns to this loyal subordinate, after all, although Morgan is well known, there are still seven people behind Morgan, and now the understanding of Morgan is narrow, it only exists in **** and Morgan Stanley and National Steel Company, but this is only the tip of the iceberg for the Morgan family.

"I'm afraid I can't eat it with my current wealth. This is the reason that Lin Fan can give.

Colt thought about it and nodded, "In 2001, the Tribune Group bought the Times Mirror Group for $8.3 billion, and in 2008, it was acquired by the American billionaire real estate tycoon Samuel Zell for a total price of $8.3 billion in the form of highly leveraged debt financial operations and employee stock subscription plans. With our existing capital, I am afraid that it will not be easy to eat. ”

"We already have the New York Times, which has the third largest circulation in the United States, and I think we can add a few newspapers that have a significant presence in some important cities to create a newspaper group, such as Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, etc. ”

"Yes, sir, I made a note of it. ”

"Anything else?"

"Director David Fincher, whom you have named, is already here, do you want to see him right away?"

"Of course, don't leave, there are still things you need to do later. ”

After the order, Lin Fan got up and moved, Washington is really a beautiful place, because this is the capital of the United States, so there are destined to be many things happening here, and for convenience, mortal investment set up the United States headquarters in Washington.

Mortal Investment is a very important wholly-owned company of Lin Fan now, except for the mortal industry and the enterprises wholly owned by Lin Fan, the remaining shares of the company held by Lin Fan are concentrated in the name of Mortal Investment, including the shares of Tencent, the shares of the Bank of South Africa, Mangren Fashion and many other enterprises.

"Boss, Mr. David is here. ”

Lin Fan took his gaze back from looking down at Washington, in fact, he didn't know much about David Fincher, only knew that he had a lot of experience in film noir shooting, and then the shooting of the House of Cards was very successful, and Lin Fan found him just by looking for a picture.

"Hello Mr. Lin. ”

"Hello, please take a seat. ”

David Fincher was actually very curious about Lin Fan, and it was precisely because of this curiosity that he came to see Lin Fan, after all, legendary characters always make people can't help but be curious.

"When I received a call from Mr. Colt, I was actually very excited, it was an honor to receive Mr. Lin's invitation, but I don't know why Mr. Lin invited me, Marvel is now very successful, you have a lot of excellent directors, but me?"

"I love Mr. David's black style. Lin Fan didn't blush a little when he told lies, "And this time it's a political-themed TV series, and I need a distinctive director like you to direct it." ”

"Is it a political theme?" David was not carried away by Lin Fan's compliment, "The political theme is not very easy to grasp, revealing too few details will make the audience dissatisfied, thinking that it is scratching the boot, if you expose too much, it is easy to misfire, so a good script is very important." ”

"Of course, I have a particularly good script that has been tested, House of Cards. ”

"It seems to have been adapted into a TV series in the UK. ”

"So I want you to adapt him into a TV series with an American twist, and the election boom is just over, and I think you can fully grasp the craze. ”

David was dumbfounded, was his boss too bold to openly insinuate American politics?

"I'm a layman, and it's up to you to take on the details, so do you have the confidence to take on this task. ”

"Will Mr. Lin interfere in the specific shooting?" asked David Fincher, who had not yet touched on political topics, and this time was also a challenge for him, so he wanted to do his best to do it well.

Lin Fan is still calm, "The form of this adaptation of the TV series may be different from the past, we will solicit opinions from the whole United States, who to choose as the protagonist, and how the plot of the story will develop, will all be decided by netizens." ”

"Netizen?"

"That's right, I'm going to buy Netflix, which is currently in the research and development stage for big data analytics, and this happens to be a good attempt. ”

"Then it's really amazing, I think there is no TV series that is more popular with the audience than the opinions of tens of millions of people, it's incredible. ”

And Lin Fan still had a faint expression, "So, you accept this invitation?"

"Unless I'm an idiot, I'm more than happy to take on this challenge. ”

Colt on the side twitched the corners of his mouth unconsciously, he felt that his boss had a better ability to fool people, what did he buy Netflix? There is no such thing in Lin Fan's investment plan, and Netflix is not an ordinary company, but the world's largest online movie renter, because of the copyright awareness of the United States and even European countries, you need to pay for listening to music and watching movies on the Internet, so if you want to watch movies online, Netflix is the best choice, you only need to pay him, and he will send the movie to you in the form of an email or send the DVD of the movie directly.

Buying such a company? Looking at David's performance that he couldn't find the north after being smashed by surprise, Colt shook his head helplessly......
