Murdoch smiled sincerely: "Eric, as we all know, the ratings are counted by Nielsen. ”

"Nielsen is a commercial market research company, and it's also about making money, isn't it?" Eric asked unceremoniously, since it is a commercial company, then, as long as there are enough interests, it is very easy to tamper with the number jù, especially in this era, the statistical method of TV program ratings is still relatively backward, and the operation space of the ratings jù is even greater: "Mr. Murdoch, since you have just agreed to my conditions, why don't you be more cheerful?" In this way, we can also work together more happily in the future"

Murdoch secretly cursed, this matter may even be related to the future dominance of the Fox television network, how can it be refreshing.

If ≥ ↖Wan≥ ↖ Shu≥ ↖ Ba, a♀nshu∽ba. But now, he knew that since he had fallen in the confrontation just now, and the subsequent few small schemes were seen through and rejected by Eric one by one, plus this kid was now pressing step by step, then this time he would probably have to pay the 10% of the shares. Because until now, he still doesn't know Eric's bottom line, he can't be sure whether Eric will risk default and transfer it to other TV stations, and he doesn't know what specific conditions the other three TV stations have offered Eric. But on the other hand, Eric figured out what he thought, and from the moment he just nodded in agreement, Eric already knew that even if he brought in a major shareholder for this, he would never allow Fox to lose. That's all. Let Eric be in this encounter. Occupy an absolute advantage.

Since it is irretrievable. Murdoch, of course, wants to fight for as much as he can. At the end of the day, as someone who doesn't belong to Eric, even though Eric's Firefly will become the second largest shareholder of Fox TV, he still regards Fox TV as his personal domain.

Remembering that Fox wanted to participate in the production and was rejected, Murdoch realized that if the two TV shows that Eric mentioned could still achieve good ratings, then wouldn't it be true. The copyrights of several major programs of Fox TV are all in the hands of Fireflies, which is simply equivalent to Fireflies pinching the pulse of Fox TV at all times, plus the 10% shares obtained by Fireflies, once he and Eric may have some irreconcilable contradictions in the future, then, it is self-evident which side those shareholders who put their interests first will stand in order to keep a few ace programs from being lost.

After a moment of hesitation, Murdoch slowly spoke, "Okay, Eric. I...... Agreed, and the specifics will be discussed later. But about the two shows you talked about. Now that Firefly is about to become a shareholder in Fox, I want you to provide the idea to hand over these two shows to Fox Productions. ”

Eric could hear that Murdoch really agreed this time, and he was secretly excited, not to mention how many times the value of this share might appreciate in the future, investing in Fox TV means that his career has expanded to a whole new field. Of course, Murdoch gave him such an affirmative answer, so now he must also show his sincerity.

Murdoch's previous statement is actually true, if you want a 10% stake in Fox, one is far from enough.

Although he was a little reluctant, Eric still said: "Mr. Murdoch, it is impossible to give full control of the show to Fox, but I can promise that these two programs can be jointly produced by Fox and Firefly, and the investment will be shared equally and the copyright will be shared." ”

Murdoch didn't expect Eric to be so generous to hand over the two shows to Fox, his purpose was to meddle in the production and copyright, and Eric's proposal was very much in line with his psychological expectations, so it was rare that he didn't bargain anymore.

In this short period of time, Eric struggled to cope with him, and Murdoch was not exhausted.

"In that case, then, it's a pleasure to work together." Although there was red wine in the cabinet next to him, Murdoch didn't have the energy to get it, so he directly picked up the coffee in front of him and gestured to Eric.

"It's a pleasure to work with." Eric also picked up his coffee.

An old man and a young man showed a faint smile at the same time, like a pair of old friends, and the quarrel, threat, and confrontation just now seemed to have never happened.

We talked about something more, and it had been nearly an hour since I came out of the reception room. The wind in the corridor blew gently, Eric suddenly felt a chill, took a few deep breaths of fresh air with a slight smell of seawater, Eric turned to the staircase, and returned to the Pai Duì Hall on the first floor.

The time was already more than nine o'clock in the evening, and it was at the height of the tide. Countless men and women shuttled back and forth, and the hall was buzzing with conversation, but it didn't seem noisy at all. Accompanied by the band, a pair of men and women hugged each other on the dance floor and danced softly.

Eric was about to look for Aniston when Robert had been waiting anxiously at the top of the stairs for an hour. Shay and Jeffrey pulled him aside.

"Eric, how are the talks?" Robert was the first to ask, although there was a big gap with Eric's shares, he was already the second largest shareholder of Firefly after all, so things were also closely related to his interests. However, although Geoffrey was very concerned about this matter, he was not as eager as Robert.

Eric showed a slightly heavy expression and said to Robert, "Robert, I have not very good news for you. ”

"Ah," said Robert. Shay opened his mouth, Eric had already revealed some of his plans to them before, so he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when he heard Eric say this, but Robert still asked with some reluctance, "Is it ...... Didn't make it? ”

Eric shook his head and said in Robert and Jeffrey's somewhat confused gazes, "I mean, Robert, the recent box office share was originally going to pay you the 60 million in funds, but now, this money may have to be used elsewhere." ”

Robert and Jeffrey suddenly realized that Eric had just been playing tricks on the two of them, and that it must have worked.

Pretending to be angry, he hammered Eric in the chest, and Robert laughed and scolded, "Stinky boy, stop going around in circles, hurry up and tell the truth." ”

Eric stretched out his right hand and spread his five fingers and flipped through them in front of the two: "Murdoch promised to give us 10% of the shares of the Fox TV Network, at the price of eighty percent before the broadcast." ”

The eyes of the two middle-aged men suddenly widened. Shay swallowed, visibly eager for what Eric said to be true, but instinctively incredulous. A fourth-ranked company in North America, and with a 10% stake in a wireless television network that has shown a rising stance, Robert Brown. How could Shay believe: "Eric, this joke is not funny at all, how many shares does the Murdoch family have?" ”

Jeffrey has known Eric for a long time, and has seen miracles happen to Eric more than once, so after a short period of surprise, Jeffrey has believed more than ninety percent: "Eric, are you sure you're not kidding?" ”

Eric took a glass of champagne from the waiter who was passing by, held it up to the two of them, and said, "Of course, guys, we're about to become one of the majority shareholders of the Fox Network. ”

This time, neither Robert nor Jeffrey doubted it anymore, and both of them showed a look of surprise at the same time. Shay excitedly raised the red wine in his glass and drank it down.

Although he only has a 1.5% share of the 10% stake, being the CEO of Firefly means that he will have the say in the 10% stake in the Fox network, something he never thought about before. After becoming a billionaire, Robert. Shay is no longer so keen on money, he is now more concerned about power, and his goal is to become Michael. The head of a great movie giant like Eisner. Michael. Eisner also doesn't have much of an equity stake in Disney, but he still has the power to say something within Disney.

Of course, there is one thing about Robert. Shay didn't realize it, or deliberately ignored it.

That is, Fireflies and Eric, but Disney doesn't have such a person.

After a short period of excitement, Eric continued the topic just now: "So, Robert, although I can make up for it, Firefly can still come up with $60 million to pay you, but this will definitely make Firefly's capital chain strained, so I wonder if I can wait until the end of the year to pay you that $60 million." Rest assured, I will pay you interest at the bank loan rate after the payment period on the contract. ”

Robert. Shay laughed and patted Eric on the shoulder: "Of course it's no problem, we're a family now, why are you talking about this." I've read the information, and Firefly can't come up with too much money at the end of the year, after all, the rest of Firefly's movies are released at the end of the year, and when I get the share of those movies, it's already the middle of next year. So, it's okay to pay me that money back then. ”

Robert. After Shay finished speaking, he immediately added casually: "Actually, Eric, it's okay if you don't give me that money, you can just exchange it for the shares of fireflies." ”

Eric smiled and pretended not to notice Robert. Shay's words changed the subject casually, and after a few words, Robert left with a red wine contented.

Jeffrey, who received Eric's hints, took a step slow and stayed. (To be continued......)
