At this stage, Ted Turner's financing credit will not exceed $2 billion, but the competition for Metropolitan Media is definitely a key point for the development of Turner Broadcasting.

With Tang Huan's Hollywood Company as the backing, although Turner Broadcasting Company is still relatively young compared to the traditional three major television networks, the program library is no longer a problem, and the main difference is the scale.

Among them, competing for new licenses can only meet a small part of the network expansion needs, and in order to catch up, the path of acquisition must and can only be taken.

The acquisition of Metropolitan Media would not only strike a blow to rival Murdoch with the same purpose, but also put Turner Broadcasting in a veritable position as the fourth-largest television network in the United States.

Tang Huan originally planned to raise a huge amount of money that could be put on the table openly to buy weapons and equipment for his brother-in-law Han Anyuan, and Ted Turner's request for help could just be used to confuse the public.

So, Tang Huan revised the plan slightly, and then arranged the American team to start implementing it.

No matter how confused the public is, it will also startle a thousand waves with one stone. The Wall Street Journal almost tiptoed the news that Tang Huan, a Silicon Valley tech tycoon and the richest man in the first year, has filed a report with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission that he will sell a portion of his stake in Fangyuan Computer for at least more than $2 billion, and the deal is expected to close in the coming months.

At the same time, Tang Huan's spokesman made it clear that 100 million US dollars of the proceeds will be donated to the United Nations, 200 million US dollars will be donated to projects related to the treatment of leukemia, HIV and other serious diseases, and some will be used for certain acquisition operations.

Tang Huan's enthusiasm for philanthropy and generosity have long been accustomed to people's donations; Since there was a precedent in 1982. So it's not unusual, what really catches people's attention is the vague "acquisition operation".

To know. At the Australian Regatta last Christmas, Murdoch used trickery on his own turf to leave Tang Huan and Ted Turner empty-handed, and the conflict between the two sides was instantly apparent, and even almost fist-to-fist at the banquet.

After a lot of hype by the media, this incident has long been passed on by word of mouth among people, and has become the most talked about story of the rich and grudges by the bottom public.

Now Tang Huan has cashed out so much money for some "acquisition operations". Undoubtedly, it must be the cable network that helped Ted Turner and Murdoch rob MetMedia.

Such a revenge for the overnight shopping mall battle, although there is a lack of twists and turns, but the onlookers don't bother to think about it, and it is a cool word to see.

In this regard, the "New York Daily News" gloated and predicted: Murdoch could only rely on some small means to win before, and now in the face of the absolute strength of the above board, there is no other choice but to go out in disgrace.

The New York Post did not have the leisure to pay attention to the opponent of the New York Daily News, which usually fights with words, but continued to attack Tang Huan with all its strength. to hit his prestige.

In fact, Mark had only heard some information about Tang Huan from the rest of the Tang family. Real journalists are suspicious of this specious news.

Therefore, most of the mainstream media in the United States will inevitably have a lot of concerns about Mark's so-called revelations and dare not directly report them, while the New York Post has no scruples and directly reports this liar's words as a true thing that is undoubtedly true, which involves the actress in "Protecting Flowers" - Deng Lijun.

According to Mark, Tang Huan, who was still a poor boy back then, gave away a part of Zheru's shares in order to show his heart in the process of pursuing Deng Lijun.

Judging by the current development of Zheru, it is very likely that its value has exceeded 100 million US dollars. And the two have twins, but they have been deliberately hiding this fact.

The New York Post is very vicious, in addition to the well-known Deng Lijun, he also brought in another heavyweight, that is, the female ship king Christina.

When Aristotle Onassis was alive, he divorced his original wife, Tina Livanos, Christina's biological mother, in order to pursue the famous opera soprano Maria Caras.

How similar is the relationship between Tang Huan and Deng Lijun and Christina to the entanglement of Aristotle Onassis, Maria Caras, and Tina Levanos?

The reason why the sensational and sensational yellow news has been able to develop and grow in the face of all kinds of condemnation is nothing more than because it has cut into the dark psychology of the people.

This is the case with the New York Post, which has no lower limit, and all newspapers with reports attacking Tang Huan are out of stock, even after printing.

Originally, the New York Daily News, which focused on local news, relied on 80 percent of its coverage of local events, making its circulation in New York City and New York State surpass that of the New York Times, the New York Post, and the Wall Street Journal.

As a result, the New York Daily News has been counterattacked by the New York Post, which can't help but sarcastically say: "The soap opera made up with the news of chasing the wind and shadows is really a windfall." ”

……

The global popularity of "Protecting Flowers" and the preparation of the world tour undoubtedly made Deng Lijun's popularity increase dramatically, so she was inevitably affected by the public opinion turmoil in the United States.

And the place that hurt Deng Lijun the most was actually her hometown-Treasure Island.

The box office of "Protecting Flowers" in Baodao has exceeded the 50 million NT$ mark, and Deng Lijun, who is negotiating the concert with Baodao, is very happy to express her gratitude to the supporters through the media.

As a result, a reporter suddenly stood up at the scene and asked righteously: "Miss Deng, it is said that you have a net worth of 100 million US dollars in the United States, and in connection with the fact that since you came back from the United States, you have been indifferent to the various condolence performances arranged by the government, does this mean that you have now completely betrayed your 'patriotic' sentiments and treated the Republic of China from an outsider's perspective?"

The gentle smile on Deng Lijun's face froze suddenly, and she was stunned for nearly a minute in the face of dozens of pairs of burning eyes. Tears were shed at the end. He replied sadly, "I'm just a singer who wants to make good music." I don't have any betrayal, I have a clear conscience!"

A good media meeting was instantly chaotic, and without waiting for the host to speak, the assistant helped Deng Lijun to leave the scene, and then a public opinion earthquake around Deng Lijun occurred on Treasure Island.

……

Tang Huan deliberately retreated for a few days to refine his next speculation plan, including the Japanese capital market.

Spending money is addictive. Making money is also addictive. He regarded himself as a porter in the capital market, and as he kept raising bets on the battlefield of Funan, it can be said that the feeling of playing the game became stronger and stronger, and it seemed to be an incomprehensible pleasure for outsiders.

As soon as Tang Huan locked the plan into the safe, the assistant knocked on the door urgently.

"What new mouth cannon has Murdoch released?" asked Tang Huan with a relaxed expression.

"This is a facsimile of the latest newspaper. There are also ......" the assistant cautiously reported, "Miss Deng has returned to Xiangjiang, and it is said that she burst into tears on the plane." ”

When listening to the other party's account of the cause and effect, Tang Huan's hand holding the fax remained motionless. Finally, he slapped the fax heavily on the table, "What kind of ability is it to bully women." Looks like these guys are too idle and need something to keep busy. ”

"Mr. Song has been promoted. Left the Information Bureau. The assistant reminded.

"That's better, I'll find something to do for the do-gooders. Tang Huan snorted coldly.

……

The media on Treasure Island is hotly discussing Deng Lijun's incredible net worth, as well as unmarried children, lack of patriotism and other messy topics, and an earthquake suddenly occurred in the political and economic circles of Treasure Island.

The so-called Taipei Shixin was established in September 1911 under the initial name of "Taipei Credit Union". When Baodao was recovered, it was taken over and reorganized by the people of Baodao, and renamed as "Taipei Tenth Credit Cooperative", that is, "Taipei Shixin".

Since 1957, the chairman of the board of directors of Taipei Shixin has been the Tsai Wanchun family of the Cathay Pacific Group, and the root cause has been laid.

As early as 1960, due to Cai Wanchun's large investment in land, Taipei Shixin fell into a crisis of difficult capital flow.

However, Taipei Shixin came up with a good idea to tide over the difficulties, that is, launched the "One Yuan Account Opening" campaign, and in just a few months, its deposits exceeded NT$100 million, making it the largest and most operating unit among the 75 credit cooperatives on the island.

In 1979, Cai Wanchun retired from a stroke, and the property was handed over to his eldest son Cai Chennan and second son Cai Chenzhou.

Cai Chenzhou is very good at drilling camps, and through Xiao Zhengzhi's introduction, he worships Wang Sheng as his father-in-law.

Wang Sheng, who was born as a political worker, can be said to be in power for a while; he was the "director of the General Political Operations Department of the Ministry of National Defense" at the time, and his subordinates came from the State Security Bureau, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Information Bureau, the Cultural Trade Union, and other units. Mr. Jiang was jealous and exiled him to Paraguay in 1983.

It can be seen from this that Cai Chenzhou borrowed much momentum, and in 1982 he was elected as an "increased legislator" with a high number of votes, and formed the "Thirteen Brothers" faction with Liu Songfan, Wang Jinping, Hong Yuqin, Xie Shengfu, Li Zongren, Li Youji, Lin Lianhui, Cai Shengbang, Wu Zi, Xiao Ruizheng and other "legislators".

Based on the club on the 17th floor of the Shangri-La Hotel, they often entertain financial officials and lobby officials for unlimited re-election of directors and supervisors of cooperatives, and that "trust companies can undertake banking business."

At the same time, Cai Chenzhou, like his father, also invested a lot of money in the real estate business of Taipei Shixin.

This routine is similar to that of the banking sector in crisis on the other side of the river, where the bank's controllers treat the bank as a purse bag, pouring money into more lucrative industries such as real estate for private gain, and as a result, the coffers are emptied, albeit with more complex collusion between officials and businessmen.

At the beginning of 1983, the crisis of Taipei's Shixin bad loans had already been revealed, but the officials of Baodao only gave warnings and sent personnel to provide counseling, but did not take more severe measures.

In fact, the total amount of loans of Taipei Shixin has reached 102% of the total deposits, which is equivalent to the insolvency of the enterprise.

When this economic crime involving NT$10 billion was put in front of the public on Baodao, Baodao was suddenly speechless from top to bottom, and there was still any leisure to gossip about Deng Lijun.

Almost like a whirlwind, the branches of Shixin in Taipei began to suffer a serious run, and thousands of depositors lost their savings in their lifetimes, seriously hurting the confidence of investors in Baodao.

In fact, under the aura of the rapid economic development of the treasure island, the crazy lending of Taipei Shixin is not a special case at this stage, and financial institutions such as Overseas Chinese Trust, Cathay Trust, Asia Trust, and First Trust are also on the verge of collapse at any time because of similar problems.

It is not difficult to imagine the extent to which Mr. Jiang's shock and anger have reached, and he immediately ordered a strict investigation. A series of high-ranking officials, including "Minister of Economy" Lu Runkang, "Minister of Finance" Xu Lide, Party Secretary-General Jiang Yanshi, and Chairman of the Taipei City Party Department Guan Zhong, lost their black hats.

As for the initiator, Cai Chenzhou, was arrested for violating the Negotiable Instruments Law by using capitation loans, colluding with his subordinates, or impersonating other people's names to take loans, and his cumulative sentence reached 670 years.

Cai Chenzhou had expected this, and a reporter photographed that before he was arrested, he released all the seven big Danes he raised, apparently preparing to go to prison.

This series of turmoil tossed up and down the treasure island, Tang Huan not only watched coldly, but also passed the news to some of his contacts, "There are so many vacant positions, you can climb up." At the same time, the economic field of the treasure island will inevitably be reorganized, and some targets can be picked up. ”

……

Originally, Tang Huan just wanted to wait for the situation on the treasure island to change, but the group of people up and down really didn't open their eyes, and they always talked about Deng Lijun, so he had no choice but to do it
