Li Yixuan smiled, "Call me Xuan Shao, Wright usually calls me that." Mr. Wen guessed correctly, although Mr. Wen is the CEO of AMV, this is a white company after all, and it is difficult to guarantee their ......" Li Yixuan did not continue, but Wen Bingxi understood the meaning.

Li Yixuan remembers that Wen Bingxi was a Chinese, and during his tenure as the CEO of AMV and later renamed AMC after being acquired by Rainbow Group, there were many downfall incidents, although he successfully resolved it, but he also fell ill, otherwise he would not have died of a heart attack. You know, he just turned 70 when he died. Forget it, he's only in his 30s now.

A man in his 30s looks like a 50-year-old man, which shows that his life has not been easy these years.

Wen Bingxi was silent for a long time before he spoke: "Mr. Li, no, Xuan Shao, I have made an order for this friend of yours, and the little miscellaneous fish over there wants to move me too tender." You can rest assured that I will cooperate. ”

Li Yixuan didn't answer, but talked about another question. "I heard that your owner has failed to invest and intends to sell AMV, does Mr. Wen have any idea of buying AMV?"

"Xuan Shao, you ......" Wen Bingxi was not calm.

Li Yixuan nodded and said: "Before I came, I found out the situation of AMV, including the situation of your owner, he failed to invest in the Australian project, and wanted to sell AMV's shares to make up for the shortfall, and he sold it as a whole." As far as I know, he contacted Lei Shidong of Murdoch and Viakang in Australia. However, neither of them gave a clear answer, so they probably wanted to take the opportunity to lower the price. ”

Pap~Papa~Papa~ Wen Bingxi clapped his hands and exclaimed: "No wonder Xuan Shao was able to achieve such an achievement at such a young age, this intelligence work is really ...... You're right, my owner does want to sell, and he told me. In addition, Murdoch and Lei Shidong did not take the opportunity to reduce the price, but the two of them did not have the slightest interest in AMV. ”

"How is this possible?" Li Yixuan didn't expect such a play, you must know that AMV, which was later known as AMC, had a weaker influence in the American industry in later generations than the five major American TV stations.

How could the two of them not be interested, they should have a lot of interest.

"They don't see a future for pay TV in the United States." Wen Bingxi gave the answer.

Saying this, Li Yixuan thought about it and found that it was true, whether it was Murdoch or Lei Shidong, none of their TV stations were charged, and some reporters also noticed this problem and asked it during the interview, and the answers of the two were surprisingly consistent, and it was too risky for them to task a paid TV station.

It is also true that pay TV stations are more risky than free TV stations. There is no advertising charge, and once the program is not popular, customers will lose most of their subscriptions, which is a heavy blow to the TV station.

Unlike free-to-air television, even if the TV series is not popular or does not meet the ratings expectations, it is a big deal to cut it, and the impact will not be great.

But pay TV stations are different, it all depends on audience subscriptions, and the program investment is far more than the programs of free TV stations, once the program is not popular, even if it is cut in the end, the loss is huge.

Li Yixuan remembers that in addition to AMV, the U.S. government later issued more than a dozen pay-TV licenses one after another, except for AMC, the rest were dismal operations, some simply converted into free-to-air TV stations, and those that did not succeed in transformation went out of business.

"Doesn't Xuan Shao want to buy AMV?"

Li Yixuan smiled, "Of course I want to, but I'm not an American, and the U.S. government won't agree, but Mr. Wen doesn't have this problem, you have a U.S. passport." ”

"It seems that Xuan Shao does not understand the laws of the United States, and I can tell you unequivocally that you can buy American television stations. There is nothing in U.S. law that prohibits foreigners from buying television stations. When I say foreigners, I mean people outside of the U.S. country. ”

"Why am I buying, but you are buying, don't you want to buy?"

"My boss asked for $60 million, and I don't have that much money."

"It turns out that you are short of money, I said earlier, I will lend it to you, and I will pay it back when you have money." Li Yixuan clapped his hands and said.

"What, this is 60 million, you just lent it to me, I trust it so much?" Wen Bingxi said incredulously.

"It stands to reason that I shouldn't have trusted him so much when we first met. But there is always a letter like this once in this life," Li Yixuan looked at the other party's eyes and said seriously: "I believe in Mr. Wen, you are a person." ”

Wen Bingxi was moved, he didn't expect Li Yixuan to trust him so much, he sighed for a while, he said: "Thank you Xuan Shao for trusting me, but I won't buy a TV station, if the TV station really has the heart to enter the field of TV station and trust me, you can hand it over to me to operate." ”

Li Yixuan couldn't understand him a little, Wen Bingxi loved the TV station very much, he didn't pay to buy it, if he didn't have money, he said that he could lend money to sell it to him, why didn't he buy it.

"Mr. Wen, why do you ...... this?"

"Mr. Li's kindness is too great, I'm afraid I can't afford to pay it back if I can't do it."

It turned out that it was because of this, Li Yixuan said with a smile, "That's it, the money is still mine, and the shares are half of the two of us, so you can rest assured." ”

"It's still too heavy for me to want." Wen Bingxi simply refused.

"You...... Brainless. Li Yixuan really didn't know what to say about him.

He didn't know that overseas Chinese like Wen Bingxi's generation still retained the most traditional Chinese thought in their hearts - no merit will be punished. He is not a second-generation immigrant, he was born in China, grew up in China, and has accepted Confucianism since he was a child, and will not accept favors from others for no reason. Even if others are pure kindness, he keeps in mind the teachings of Confucianism, and he is so gracious that he will not be rewarded without merit,

You can't afford it. If it is replaced by a modern person, people will not be willing to agree, and they will not care whether they can bear it or not.

Li Yixuan didn't withdraw from him.

Will Wright, who was on the side, looked at everything in his eyes and understood the reason why Wen Bingxi rejected Li Yixuan, so he said, "I have a way to solve the problem of the two of you." ”

"Oh, you have a way, you say." Li Yixuan was very curious about what the other party could do.

"Xuan Shao, you buy the TV station first, and after Wen makes achievements, you give him shares, so that it will be solved."

As soon as this method was proposed, Wen Bingxi was moved and looked at Li Yixuan.

Isn't it over to give the shares directly, and it's not too troublesome to make such a show, but seeing that Wen Bingxi was obviously moved, he agreed, "I think this method will work, as long as Wen Bingxi makes achievements, I will give you half of the shares." ”

"It's not okay, I can't accept it if I don't give half of it." Wen Bingxi completely thought that Li Yixuan was messing around.

Li Yixuan couldn't cry or laugh, "Then how much is appropriate for you?" ”

Wen Bingxi blushed, "This...... This ......" raised a finger for half a day.

"One percent, too little, at least forty percent." Wen Bingxi said that he would not do anything.

At this time, Will Reitra pulled Li Yixuan's sleeve and said, "You just promise him, he will not want it if he has more." ”

Saying this, Li Yixuan finally had to agree.

After saying goodbye to Wen Bingxi, Li Yixuan asked in the car: "Why do you want me to promise him, it's unfair to him." ”

Will Wright started the car and said, "It's really unfair to him if you force him to give him so many shares." ”

"What do you call this, it's unfair to give him more shares."

"Xuan Shao, do you know that there is an old saying in China that no merit is not punished?"

"Of course I know, but what does this have to do with giving him more shares?"

"Wen Bingxi is a very traditional person, he has been deeply educated in Confucianism since he was a child, and he understands that there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world, and he understands the truth after so many years in China and the United States, you take out 6,000 US dollars at once to help him buy AMV, is he willing to accept it?"

"What can't be beared, he can afford this money, besides, isn't it half of a person, what can't be beared."

Will Wright smiled, "Xuan Shao, although you are Chinese, I am sure that you have not received a Confucian education. ”

"You're right, I received a modern education, and modern education told me to take it and not hesitate."

Will Wright laughed again, "Xuan Shao, Confucianism also has similar words, God gives it to Fufu, but suffers from it; When it doesn't work, it suffers. It means that what God has given you will not accept it, but will be punished; When the time comes, if you don't act, you will suffer disaster. In addition to this meaning, there is another meaning, that is, don't reach out if it's not yours. AMV shouldn't be his for Wen Bingxi. If you accept it, it will hurt him. ”

"If you mean that, AMV should belong to me."

"That's right, if you think about it, when you want to make Transformers toys, you think of making cartoons, and you need a platform to put cartoons, so you think of Wen Bingxi, in order to make Wen Bingxi willingly cooperate with you, you took out "Prison Break", and in order to test his confidence, you took out the novel you wrote. And at this time, his owner's investment failed and he wanted to sell AMV as a whole, but you are rich, what does this mean, how can Wen Bingxi not see that AMV is given to you by God, he will never rob you, he is afraid of being struck by lightning. ”

"You are a feudal superstition, if it were someone else, he would have agreed." Li Yixuan couldn't deny it.

"If it were someone else, would you still lend him $60 million?"

"This ......," Li Yixuan was asked.

Will Wright smiled, and while driving, he said: "Look, the answer won't come out, you are willing to lend him 60 million, it is the character of Wen Bingxi who believes, why he has such a good character, is because he himself knows which ones are his, those who are not his, and who should not reach out." If it were someone else, I believe Xuan Shao would not lend it to him. Because they themselves are not worthy of trust. Am I right? ”

Li Yixuan smiled bitterly and shook his head, he was really right by Will Wright, if it was someone else, let alone 60 million, even 100,000 would not lend it to him, as Will Wright said just now, they are not trustworthy.

That's how strange people are sometimes.

Confucianism is an ideology, but if you look closely, it is full of many principles of life. Wen Bingxi is a Chinese, from a small clerk to the CEO of AMV, admiring the trajectory of his life, everything he does contains the essence of Confucianism.

On the other hand, Wang An, he later violated this idea, and ended up with something. Now Wang An is the most beautiful time, and he is willing to enjoy this scenery, but he doesn't know that there is already a turbulent underneath.

Li Yixuan turned his head to look at Will Wright, who was concentrating on driving on the left, and sighed in his heart, the future father of "SimCity", who was also a devout Confucian believer.

Remember, after Maxis was acquired by Electronic Arts, several other founders of Maxis had mediocre performance after joining Electronic Arts, and finally had to leave in disgrace, and the new game company they founded ended in bankruptcy due to poor performance, and finally had to launch the video game circle.

Only Will Wright rose to prominence at Electronic Arts, and finally became the fifth CEO of Electronic Arts. Every step he took did not contain the true meaning of Confucianism.

Li Yixuan turned his head out of the window, looking at the scenery that was speeding by on the highway, and wondered if he should also take the time to read Confucian books.
