A minute that normally passes is a long time for Murdoch.

Murdoch originally hoped that the young man in front of him would be able to calm down, but soon, with the numbers popping out of Eric's mouth, Murdoch himself couldn't calm down.

He began to quickly calculate the gains and losses of the matter, and Eric was right, once Fox TV lost this time, it would miss the best and probably the only chance to rise. Once it is really lost, if Fox TV can still lie dormant and develop silently, then it is nothing. However, after the miracle of ratings, the three old TV stations have realized the threat of the Fox TV network to their position, and will definitely not allow the lost Fox TV network to develop steadily and steadily.

&nb≥≦wan≥≦shu≥≦ba，a≯nshub☆a.sp; Accustomed to the intrigues and brutal competition of the media for decades, Murdoch left Australia for England to develop his career, and during the most difficult periods, competitors took revenge on him as an outsider, and even the safety of his family was threatened.

Now that he is back in the United States, Murdoch believes that competition in North America will not be much milder than in the United Kingdom.

In less than 30 seconds, Murdoch had already turned countless thoughts in his mind.

And Eric, who was sitting opposite, was still staring at the watch in his hand, counting down unhurriedly.

“9…… 8…… 7…… 6……”

The last few seconds. Murdoch finally sighed. He waved his hand slightly. "Eric, don't count, I promise you." ”

Hearing Murdoch's words, Eric paused, and then slowly counted the remaining numbers as if by some inertia before looking up.

He certainly couldn't have really been suddenly young and vigorous, as a mature middle-aged man at heart, although Murdoch threatened him much more than he did with the threat of taking it. But it's not likely that this will lead him to do anything drastic. He's gambling that there is more than a 70 percent chance that Murdoch will agree because the Fox network needs it so much.

Of course, he also thought about what would happen if Murdoch really didn't agree.

In fact, even if it really collapsed, it was nothing, he was sure that the countdown minute was really over, and he brushed his sleeves away. Murdoch will definitely come to the door again, too. Because of the original plan, it was impossible for him to really sever his cooperation with Fox TV. After several overtures from Fox, he would also half-push and half-agree to renegotiate.

But if that's the case, Fox will definitely be able to realize his bottom line from his actions, and at that time, he will not have the opportunity to get a 10% stake in Fox TV Network.

However, with Murdoch's attitude after he put forward his conditions, Eric himself thought that he would not have a chance to get a 10% stake in Fox TV.

But when Murdoch heard that he might transfer to ABC, he cleverly threatened his women with them, which gave him a reason to have a seizure.

Chong Guan was angry and red-faced, isn't it very reasonable for him to be young and ambitious?

Since the odds of getting a 10% stake were already slim, Eric took a gamble.

Murdoch didn't dare to take this risk in the end, he was afraid that Eric would be really angry and not even give him a chance to maneuver after leaving, so he directly cut off the cooperation with Fox TV and transferred it to ABC TV. Once the worst happens, there's no room for undo.

Therefore, he won the bet.

Although Murdoch nodded in agreement, Eric did not show any joy, but just picked up the coffee pot in front of him with a faint expression, poured himself a new cup of coffee, and savored it carefully, waiting for Murdoch to speak first.

Murdoch's vision is not old, and from Eric's indifferent movements, he quickly realized that he might have just been fooled.

Back!

That was Murdoch's first thought.

However, if Eric might have pretended to be angry and threatened him just now, then if he immediately reversed himself, then maybe Eric would really walk away.

After fighting in the media industry for more than 30 years, how could Murdoch be willing to be planted in the hands of a hairy boy.

Since he can't turn his face and deny it immediately, Murdoch must of course try to recover his losses.

"Eric, I can give you a 10% stake in Fox Network, but you should also know that if you take this TV show and negotiate the same terms with the big three broadcasters, they may kick you out of the office. So, one is not enough, you need, um......" Murdoch muttered for a moment, and continued: "You need to provide Fox with two more excellent TV series, of course, I know that it will be difficult to achieve Cheng Dù, so as long as the average ratings of those two TV series can reach 1,500 people, I will promise to transfer the equity to you." ”

Eric almost burst out laughing when he heard this.

If Murdoch puts forward other conditions, he may be stumped, but if it is a high-rated American drama, let alone two, it is twenty, and Eric can make up the corners of his memory. The American dramas with miserable ratings in the previous life, even those subtitle groups were too lazy to translate, so most of the American dramas that could flow into the country were high-rated and high-quality American dramas.

However, Eric also heard some other questions from Murdoch's words, and Murdoch had just apparently said that he would not transfer his shares until he provided Fox with two high-rated American dramas.

How is this possible, he can be sure that if he really hands over the three American dramas to Fox first, and when the results come out, it is estimated that Murdoch will not want an old face, and it will be impossible to give him any shares. Because at that time, the three TV series had already been broadcast, and Fox had also cultivated enough regular viewers with its high ratings, and the next steps were very clear, unloading the mill and killing the donkey, and the rabbit and the dog cooking.

"Mr. Murdoch, I can give Fox two more shows, and it's not a problem to get over 15 million viewers because I happen to have a couple of good ideas. However, I don't like to play with words, today is the 8th, and the 10th is the day of the broadcast again, and I don't guarantee what will happen if Fox TV has not expressed its sincerity in transferring the shares before the night after tomorrow. With that, Eric made a gesture to get up.

If Eric had only said the last few words he had just said, perhaps Murdoch would have let Eric go. But hearing Eric's words, 'I just have a couple of good ideas,' Murdoch was moved again. He proposed that the so-called two TV programs with more than 15 million ratings originally meant to distort the promise he had just made. American dramas with an average rating of more than 15 million people, all TV stations in North America combined, it is impossible to exceed 10 per year, and most of them are sequels to those old hit dramas. It is even more difficult for a new American drama to achieve this result, which is why the first season premiere will cause such a big sensation with more than 30 million viewers.

Therefore, seeing that Eric was about to get up, Murdoch hurriedly waved his hand to stop the other party: "Wait, Eric, how can I play any word game with you." You have to believe that since I agreed to your terms, I will definitely not go back, so let's sit down and have a good chat, okay, and talk about your ...... Ideas?"

I'm sure you've just seen the hell!

Eric sneered, he didn't want to talk about it anymore, it was too sad to confront the old fox Murdoch, and if he wasn't careful, he might fall into the other party's pit. But hearing Murdoch's question, Eric couldn't help but sit down again.

"Actually, I think so, Mr. Murdoch, I also took out two TV series, but if you want to increase the influence of a TV station, it is definitely not enough to just be a TV series. In addition to giving Fox a different and genre TV series, I plan to create another variety show for Fox TV, and I guarantee that if this variety show is operated well, the average viewership of more than 20 million is not a problem. ”

Murdoch's heart skipped a beat and he asked, "Eric, can I tell me about your ...... The idea of a variety show?"

Eric smiled and shook his head: "Mr. Murdoch, I just said that I hope to see Fox TV's preliminary equity transfer plan between the 10th." Until then, there is no need to talk about it. ”

"But you won't reveal anything, how do I know if what you're saying is true?" Murdoch asked.

Eric rubbed his palm lightly in irritation and reminded, "Mr. Murdoch, don't forget, you promised to transfer my shares in Fox TV Station solely for the sake of nothing to do with the other two TV shows, so you can only choose to believe me." ”

"Otherwise, Eric, I can transfer the shares to you first, but I must indicate that it will be for a period of one year, and within one year, if you can't fulfill the promise that both TV shows will exceed the average rating of 15 million, then if you reach one less, you will return 5% of the shares, what do you think?"

Eric sneered: "Mr. Murdoch, it is 100 times easier to fake ratings than the box office of a movie, and when the time comes, it will not be as much as you Fox says, do you think I will agree?" (To be continued......)
