Chapter 277: Each Has His Own Means! (New Year's greetings)

Of course, Zhang Lie's words, Walid will not believe them all.

But Wendi Deng's matter must be the cause of the whole thing. Zhang Lie just appropriately added fuel to the fire and controlled the News Corporation. If News Corp can be controlled, then looking at the whole of the United States, there will only be one Time Warner left.

Waleed believes that in the near future, Time Warner will definitely become Zhang Lie's meal, or a shareholding, or a controlling shareholder, but Zhang Lie will inevitably impose his influence on the entire United States.

It's hard to imagine that a Chinese can do this. He couldn't believe that the government of the United States had always regarded Huaguo as a beast of the flood, why would it let Zhang Lie's frequent actions in the United States be allowed.

Perhaps, there is something dirty between Zhang Lie and the Mi government, but he doesn't know. Waleed agreed to Zhang Lie's cooperation method of exchanging shares, although he knew that he would not control too many shares, but he would not think that Zhang Lie would be too much.

"Zhang, what do you think of Time Warner?" After negotiating about the shares, Waleed wanted to test Zhang Lie's attitude towards Time Warner.

"Time Warner?" Zhang Lie frowned, since he took a stake in Viacom, he knew something about several major media empires in the United States. The reason why Viacom's Lei Shidong has been biting News Corp. On the one hand, News Corp. is similar to Viacom, and their controllers are the ones who single-handedly built this media empire. The outside world is also accustomed to comparing him to Murdoch, calling them the geniuses of the media industry, starting from nothing to develop the company they have built into the empire they are now. Another point is that News Corp. and Viacom Inc. are not much different in strength, and the competition between them will not have a destructive blow to themselves. And in the United States. Leave News Corp and Viacom Corp aside. There is also a media empire that can be said to dominate half of the country. Together, News Corp. and Viacom are no match for each other. It is Time Warner, although Mi Guo Online has now been spun off from Time Warner, but the two are actually brother companies. Whether it is Time Warner itself or Mi Online, the influence of the owners of Mi Guo cannot be underestimated. Not to mention that Time Warner also owns Time Magazine, Sports Illustrated, Life Magazine, and Net. Warner Bros. and other advantageous assets. It can be said that Time Warner really counts history, and it has a history of nearly 100 years. The birth of Time Warner is also the product of the powerful alliance between Time Magazine and Warner Bros., and after so many years of continuous merger of major influential media forces, it has formed the current giant.

Time Warner's stake is very complex, and the number of people is also unusually large. It can be said that the complexity of its shares is almost comparable to a complex mathematical conjecture. This is also the fact that although Time Warner's total assets are not too many, it is only ranked around 300 among the world's top 500 companies. But no one dared to underestimate it. On the one hand, its influence is quite large, and the other point is that there are too many shareholders. If it's like acquiring it, it's too difficult, it's too difficult.

Waleed saw that Zhang Lie didn't speak, just frowned. Perhaps his current expression is the attitude towards Time Warner in his heart.

"Time Warner is indeed a terrible monster, its own assets are actually not much, whether it is News Corp or Viacom, as long as they spare a few qiē, they may be able to acquire Time Warner. But it's his shareholders that are complicated, I once did a survey, Time Warner has nearly 5,000 large and small shareholders, and these people don't hold many shares. Unlike other companies, the shareholders controlled by his management are arguably the largest individual shareholders of Time Warner. But these shares cannot be sold, he is only a dividend share to compensate the manager. And if you buy the shares of some of these shareholders, although you can also do it, if you want to control Time Warner's voice, you have to do too much work, after all, not everyone is willing to give up Time Warner's shares. That's why I took a back seat and bought part of News Corp., becoming the largest shareholder after the Murdoch family. After Waleed said this to Zhang Lie, he stared at him carefully, wanting to see his reaction.

"If News Corp and Viacom join forces, Time Warner may collapse from within!" Zhang Lie suddenly laughed, since he couldn't control Time Warner from the outside, then let this huge empire collapse directly. The structure of his board of directors makes it difficult for him to start from the outside, but this is also the case, and it is very easy to collapse from the inside. And News Corp. and Viacom will join forces to defy Time Warner, and if they are using some means, Time Warner's empire will collapse just around the corner.

When Waleed heard Zhang Lie's words, he immediately felt cold, and he never thought about ruining Miè Times Warner. But now I feel that Zhang Lie is terrible, and maybe this is the way to tell them about 5,000 years of history. Since you can't get it, then destroy it. Time Warner is really strong, so they can't get their hands dirty. But if the empire is destroyed, Time Warner will no longer exist. At that time, News Corp and Viacom, which he controlled, controlled the public opinion of the entire country.

Thinking of this, he was a little excited, he never thought of controlling these two companies, he only hoped to leave some voice in them, so as to maintain his influence. Now that he already knows what Zhang Lie is doing, he will naturally follow Zhang Lie's steps closely.

, he will be responsible for negotiating directly with Waleed's team. Because the two sides have generally negotiated, only the details of the negotiation remain, these things are also simple, and the two sides have completed the equity replacement in a friendly atmosphere.

After signing the contract, Mr. Zhang owned 15 percent of News Corp., while Waleed had less than 5 percent of News Corp. Similarly, Zhang Lie gave WalidViacom a 5 percent stake, while he still holds a 21 percent stake in Viacom. At the same time, Zhang Lie also had to pay Waleed more than $3 billion in the difference.

The signing of the stake ceremony between the two parties was not notified to the media. But then when the relevant departments did the equity change procedure, it was still known to the outside world.

Zhang Lie said that Lei Shidong just called and chatted with Zhang Lie casually, and did not mention Zhang Lie's sale of some of Viacom's shares. Zhang Lie knew that he was telling himself that he already knew about it. Instead, Waleed sold 15% of his stake to Zhang Lie, and Murdoch's eldest son called Waleed directly to ask why Waleed chose to sell his stake in the group, and did not notify the Murdoch family before selling his shares.

Waleed ignored the other party, even he didn't dare to point fingers in front of him, in order to ensure the Murdoch family's power in News Corp., the elder Murdoch had to beg himself. He was just a little person under the protection of his father, and Waleed naturally disdained this attitude when talking to himself. For the Murdoch family, naturally there is no good feeling. The old Murdoch is not in good health, and now the old Murdoch is still alive, and he still misses some old feelings. If the old Murdoch is gone, he and the Murdoch family will have no affection at all.

In fact, Waleed had something to hide from Zhang Lie, and even the other members of the Murdoch family didn't know. Previously, because of the wiretapping scandal, the Murdoch family was collectively impeached by shareholders, and the elder Murdoch directly approached him, hoping that he could support the Murdoch family. In the end, he did support the Murdoch family, and it was because of his support that the Murdoch family was able to stay in News Corp. But he did not support it in vain, so Murdoch promised to give Waleed 7% of his shares after he stepped down from News Corp.

And now the 7% share agreement is in the safe at his home. The outside world didn't know anything about it, which is why he agreed to stand on Zhang Lie's side and agree to sell some of his shares. Zhang Lie's purpose is to kick the Murdoch family out of News Corp., and it is inconvenient for him to make a move, but Zhang Lie can. As long as Murdoch leaves News Corp., the 7% stake in News Corp. will naturally become his. Coupled with the shares in his hands now, he still controls 12% of the shares of News Corporation, although it is still less than Zhang Lie, but he is still the major shareholder of News Corporation, and he still has a lot of say power.

Now Waleed's job is to see how Wendi Deng kicks the Murdoch family out of News Corp.

Zhang Lie officially took a stake in News Corp., and although he only took a 15% stake in News Corp., it still caused News Corp.'s stock to rise sharply. The whole world knows Zhang Lie's investment vision, and none of the stocks he holds have failed. Since he chose to take a stake in News Corporation, it shows that News Corp. has great value.

The Murdoch family also threw an olive branch to Zhang Lie, but Zhang Lie did not pay attention to the friendliness of Murdoch's eldest son Lachlan. It seems that after he took a stake in News Corporation, there was no movement. The outside world saw that he didn't make any moves, and the originally angry feelings gradually faded.

But Zhang Lie's investment gave Wendi Deng and Obabi an unusually strong signal. Deng Wendi has the means, coupled with the hookup with Obabi, with the support of the president of the United States, Deng Wendi began her series of actions.

First of all, he naturally had to get the handle in Lachlan's hand, and without this handle. In addition, Murdoch's mind is not clear, Wendi Deng is their nominal stepmother, and Murdoch's children have no possibility for her to divorce Murdoch. Because of this, her position in the Murdoch family has been strengthened, and not only will she not lose 4% of the shares in her hands, but also the shares that belong to her sons and daughters. She can control more than 1o% of the shares of zhì alone. She only needs to buy off some of the minority shareholders, and then she can propose a reshuffle of the board of directors and kick Murdoch's sons and daughters out of the board completely. And for some things, Deng Wendi doesn't actually need to do anything, she can borrow Obabi's momentum, and she can control the board of directors without Zhang Lie at all. And now, the source of a qiē is that handle, and this handle can't be asked to be taken by Obabi, after all, if he wants to be the first lady, he can't let Obabi see that thing. (To be continued!)
