Chapter 71: Cooperation (1)
"Well, Ah Fei has always had this idea, but because he didn't have a chance before, he didn't take any action." Li Yunxin said. She is also a little helpless in her heart, although many TV stations have been listed, and there are many shares on the stock market, but shares without equity are of no use to them at all.
"This time SJ Group has a problem, there are several shareholders of its tvN cable TV station, and they all want to sell their shares, and if anyone can win those shares, then the TV basically belongs to whom." Li Jianxi thought for a moment and said.
"Dad, you don't have that idea?" Li Yunxin asked with some confusion; Although she knows that there is no entertainment industry at home, her father has always wanted to develop the entertainment industry, doesn't she want this opportunity?
"You should know the relationship between our family and CJ Group, it is very difficult for us to get a TV station, and now it is very difficult for other TV stations to develop except for the three major stations, even if we can win the TV station, but from a business point of view, it is not worth it." Li Jianxi sighed helplessly.
"If Ah Fei acquires it, what will happen to CJ Group's shares? They occupy quite a few. Li Yunxin asked after thinking for a while.
"It's good for his father-in-law to come forward, although CJ Group has a lot of shares, but as long as Ah Fei has an advantage, then the role of this TV station for CJ Group is much less, they are now short of funds, if Ah Fei wants to make a move, this opportunity is very rare." Lee Kun-hee said in a deep voice.
"Although this is an opportunity, I don't know if Ah Fei has enough funds." Li Yunxin thought about it and said helplessly.
"You know too little about Ah Fei. Ah Fei's assets are not much less than mine, and most of his assets are cash, not shares, like his father. Lee Kun-hee shook his head and sighed softly. He has a good impression of Lin Fei, and he really admires Lin Fei's ability.
"Ah Fei has so many assets?" Li Yunxin asked with some confusion.
"There are almost more than 3 billion funds, and on this year's rich list, if his information is made public, he will definitely be in the top 100." Li Jianxi said with a sigh.
"Then I wonder how much money is needed to acquire tvN?" Li Yunxin asked. She didn't care too much about Lin Fei's funds, after all, she knew about two billion.
"The capital required for a wholly-owned acquisition is only about 200 million US dollars. When you go back, have a good chat with Ah Fei, if he really wants to buy, just let him talk to me, I also have something I want to say to him. Li Kunxi thought for a moment and said.
"Hmm." Li Yunxin responded. But she was a little nervous, she knew what her father meant, but she didn't know how to stop it.
……
"Tom, how much money do I have in my cash account right now?" Lin Fei asked.
"The two accounts add up to less than 500 million funds, and the rest are in the stock market, and if you need to, you can cash out all within half a month. After cashing out, the total funds should reach about 3.5 billion. Tom said after calculating in his mind.
"Tom, you said if I wanted to build a music and video site, would I be able to do it?" Lin Fei thought for a moment and asked.
"BOSS, do you want to buy ready-made? Or build a new one? Tom asked, a little confused.
"Acquire ready-made." Lin Fei said.
"BOSS, do you want the development of these two websites to be a positioning development or a global development?" Tom asked softly after a moment's thought.
"What's the difference?" Lin Fei asked with some confusion.
"If it's positioning development, I'm more in favor of acquisitions, and if it's global development, I'm not in favor of it." Tom said in a deep voice.
"What do you think?" Lin Fei said.
"Positioning development, as the boss, you can choose to acquire two good websites in Huaxia, only need us to invest one or two hundred million US dollars in each website, then as long as the technology is passed, it is easy to occupy a good market in Huaxia, and we can also let these two websites gain a foothold in Asia."
"If it is a global development, then it will be very difficult, even if there is technical support, it is difficult to shake the current position of YouTube, this year after Google acquired YouTube, the development is very rapid, and next year will release multiple language versions, then we will be difficult to compete with it. Our money can't support our global development, and even if it is Asia's development, in terms of our money, it will be too much. Tom said in a deep voice.
"How much money do these sites need?" Lin Fei frowned and asked. In his view, as long as it is not global development, there should be not much money needed.
"Well, Internet companies, as long as the scale reaches a certain level, unless they are doing software, they need a lot of funds to make platforms bigger, mainly servers and daily consumption." Tom said.
"In that case, I'll give you some information, and you can ask people to check the details of these companies and whether they can be acquired." Lin Fei thought for a moment and said.
PPS, Youku, Tudou, Kugou, these are the sites that he established early in his memory and have developed well in the future, but he doesn't know the actual situation, so he needs to check it.
"BOSS, many of those websites in Huaxia now have venture capital, and it may take a long time to acquire." Tom looked at the information in his hand and said.
"It's okay, you can investigate it first, if you can acquire Kugou and a video website, I will write a development plan and hand it to you as soon as possible, but after the acquisition, it is best to keep the original team of the company, we just stand behind it." Lin Fei said.
"Okay, boss." Tom replied.
……
"Yunxin, do you know what uncle wants to talk to me about this time?" Lin Fei looked at Li Yunxin, who was driving, and asked with some doubts.
After explaining what Tom had done, Lin Fei and Li Yunxin thought about Li Mansion together. This made him very puzzled, he didn't have much intersection with Lee Kun-hee, and even the matter of the TV station this time was not worth inviting him to Lee Kun-hee.
"I don't know, but I think it's a business thing." Li Yunxin said.
"Is tvN really going to do it?" Lin Fei said helplessly. He doesn't have any information about this in his memory, and CJ Group's investment in the entertainment industry doesn't need to sell this TV station at all.
"Ah Fei, this question has been dozens of times, I have said it all, I don't know the specific reason, this is what my father said." Li Yunxin said helplessly.
"But with CJ Group's strength, there's no need to sell the TV station at all." Lin Fei asked with some confusion.
"tvN is a consortium of several companies, and although CJ has a lot of shares in them, it is only a little more than 20 percent. And this TV station only started broadcasting last month, but the effect is very poor, and it is not surprising that some people want to make a move. Li Yunxin said.
"The effect is not much better even if you think about it, after all, the three major stations are too strong." Lin Fei thought about it and said. In his memory, although tvN's future development is good, it is still far from the three major stations.
"Will we still cooperate with SBS in the TV series we invest in in the future?" Li Yunxin asked, she was a little worried about this.
"Let's talk about it when the TV station arrives, I'll see the situation first, and we'll discuss it." Lin Fei said with some distress.
……
"Uncle." Lin Fei shouted softly.
"Ah Fei, I called you this time, I mainly want to have a good chat with you, let's go to the study." Li Jianxi nodded and said.
Lin Fei followed Li Jianxi and walked slowly towards the study, and Lin Fei looked at the surrounding layout as he walked, the more he looked at it, the more confused he became, this is the Li family's residence, in addition to covering a larger area and greenery, the others are not only a little different from the place where he lives now, they are all very simple arrangements.
It's not as he thought, there are a lot of antique paintings, all kinds of luxury goods, but like an ordinary home, just the decoration materials are better.
"Isn't it a surprise?" Lee Kun-hee asked.
"Well, it's a bit surprising, after all, my uncle, as the richest man in South Korea, has a very warm home and is not luxurious." Lin Fei responded.
"Life is about enjoyment, not luxury. It doesn't matter if you have money or not. Lee Kun-hee said. For him, warmth is the best enjoyment.
"I see." Lin Fei thought for a moment and said. He used to be the same, although he was rich, he felt very comfortable in a simple villa, and he didn't feel that the luxurious decoration was a pleasure.
"Sit down, I think you're also confused as to why I asked you to come to my house." After Lee Kun-hee sat down, he said.
"Yes, I don't think a TV station needs my uncle to do that." Lin Fei sat opposite Li Jianxi and said.
"Regarding the affairs of the TV station, you can just let your manager handle it, and I will give you a ride, as for CJ, it depends on your personal opinion, if you only want to control it, don't care about him, if you want to be wholly owned, just let your father-in-law come forward." Li Jianxi thought for a moment and said in a deep voice.
"The purpose of my calling you here this time is because of Yunxin's matter." Lee Kun-hee sighed.
"Yunxin Nuna?" Lin Fei asked with some confusion.
"Well, although more than a year has passed, and Yunxin has come out of that circle, I know that she has fallen into another circle." Li Jianxi said helplessly.
"I..." Lin Fei didn't know what to say for a while.
"I know I don't blame you, but this matter is related to you, and I want to talk to you." Li Jianxi said with some bitterness. He was very helpless about this, he knew his daughter's character, and because he knew, he didn't know how to intervene, and the other party didn't do anything wrong.
"Uncle, I don't know what to say." Lin Fei said with a wry smile.
"I know, so I don't blame you, but Yunxin is my daughter, and you have to understand the pain of being a father." Lee Kun-hee said.
"Uncle, what do you need me to do?" Lin Fei said helplessly.
"No, I don't need you to do anything, I just need you to take care of Yunxin like before. Instead of keeping your distance like now, I know that your change has made Yunxin feel a little depressed in her heart. Lee Kun-hee sighed softly.
"But if you keep going like you did before, what will you do in the future?" Lin Fei said with some distress. He has tried his best to keep his distance from Li Yunxin, but the effect is not good, and he has been worrying about this in his heart.
"I'll talk about it later, I just hope that Yunxin can live happily in the future." Lee Kun-hee said in a deep voice.
"But I..."Lin Fei said helplessly, but he didn't know what to say, which made him know that he had a certain responsibility, if he knew that there would be such a situation, he should not have made such a choice in the first place.
