Chapter 426: How about the cooperative TV station?
readx;
"If his main business is the TV station business, I think we can cooperate in the TV station business. Didn't I want to buy a TV station before www.biquge.info It's to make a TV show, and now that you're going to sell Twentieth Century Fox, and John, you want to sell it for a better price.
So we can't do anything with a fake market capitalization, can't we still do it with a real business? Compared to the fake business that makes Murdoch disgusted, then we do the real business, I am afraid that not only will he not be disgusted, but will be very happy, right? Li Mingbao looked at John with a smile, feeling very satisfied with the plan he suddenly came up with.
At first, when he heard that Murdoch had a crush on Twentieth Century Fox, Li Mingbao felt very frustrated, after all, he himself was actually a little jealous of Twentieth Century Fox, if he could take this company into his own hands, just like Sony did, then his foundation in Hollywood could be regarded as completely stable. Even if it will still be hostile to the group of people on Wall Street, as long as he has the Twentieth Century Fox Company, Li Mingbao himself will control a lot of channels, and the gap with those people will be narrowed a lot, coupled with his endless variety of ideas, even if the Wall Street people want to clean themselves up, it is not easy, at most they will be in the same stream in the future, which will be of great benefit to themselves, and if they really want to get it right, it is not less profitable than controlling the East Asian market.
After all, the economic strength of the United States itself determines that Hollywood's foundation is better than that of other places. Integrating into that group of people, Li Mingbao will be considered to have a straight waist by then. Doing things is definitely more open than now.
But it's a pity that if you want to complete such a career, it takes time for Li Mingbao, and time is what he lacks the most now. No, before Li Mingbao really started, he was taken by the giant Murdoch, and now he is fighting with him, obviously there is no chance of winning at all, so such an idea can be extinguished now.
But when talking to John, Li Mingbao found that he didn't mean that he didn't do anything about such a thing. Murdoch is a giant, and he is not an opponent at all, but judging from the current situation, why should Li Mingbao fight against Murdoch? Wouldn't it be better for you to integrate into News Corp. and make the same choices as John? Anyway, it is difficult for Li Mingbao to integrate into the upper class of American society alone, since this is the case, wouldn't it be a waste of time to follow a good boss and then enter this world? With such an idea, Li Mingbao immediately changed his mind, he stopped buying the TV station, and simply cooperated directly with John, and then joined News Corp together.
But John didn't understand Li Mingbao's thoughts at all, and when he heard Li Mingbao's words, John was even more confused: "What about the real business? Mr. Lee, what do you mean by that? ”
"That's what it means literally. I bought the TV station to broadcast my TV program. And now that Twentieth Century Fox is going to be acquired by News Corp., and John, you want to make the acquisition price higher, we have a basis for cooperation. My TV program is broadcast on the TV station of Twentieth Century Fox, and then I use my program to drive the ratings of Twentieth Century Fox's TV station, so that the TV ratings of Twentieth Century Fox will rise a lot, and the ratings will rise, and even the purchase price will rise, so that it will also be able to achieve your goal, John?
And in doing so, it's also good news for Murdoch, because if the TV stations he bought have good ratings, he will have a better start in the United States, so that he will be happy to spend a little more money. Seeing that John didn't understand, Li Mingbao didn't mind explaining in detail.
Hearing Li Mingbao's words, John smiled: "Mr. Li, I have to say that your idea is indeed a very good idea, but I don't know if Mr. Li has you considered a problem." From the point of view of the plan, there is no problem at all, and everyone will be happy when the time comes, but in fact, Mr. Li, if you can ensure that your TV program can definitely increase the ratings of the TV station?
A good show is the key to the success of this plan, but the problem is that a good show is not how good he is from the mouth, how good he can be, this needs to be tested by the audience and time. Although I would like to express my appreciation to Mr. Li for your achievements in the film industry, TV stations and movies are not exactly the same genre, Mr. Li, you can make good movies, but the TV industry is an unknown. Therefore, although Mr. Li's proposal is good, the risk is very large. ”
"I know that just talking about my show with my mouth must be a good show, and this will definitely not reassure John, so only after getting the finished product, John, can you confirm my talent in the TV industry. Speaking from the facts, there is no problem with this for me at all.
Due to time constraints, plus some programs require a lot of people to participate together, so the finished product of the program, I don't have it in my hands yet, but some of the ideas of the program, I don't lack it in my hands, if John you are interested, I can show you one of my programs. As the operator of a TV station, you probably also have a certain understanding of the TV station, whether my program is good or not, you can analyze some market conditions by looking at the planning book. Li Mingbao said, and took out a stack of English documents from his purse.
In fact, Li Mingbao should not have brought out these documents, although when he was in Hong Kong, Li Mingbao applied for the copyright of some programs through lawyers in the United States for a global application, and now it is the patent application period, and the price to be paid if others want to imitate it is not a small amount, so Li Mingbao is not afraid of infringement by others.
is not afraid of infringement by others, logically speaking, it is not a big deal for Li Mingbao to take out the information, the key is that in this negotiation, Li Mingbao originally did not plan to talk about the show with John. Fortunately, there have been some program plans in my bag before, and I didn't take it out, just when I met John this time, Li Mingbao took the bag, and then when I encountered something, Li Mingbao also saved me a lot of running, speaking of which, it can be regarded as a coincidence.
But John didn't know that this was a coincidence, and when he heard that Li Mingbao actually carried the planning of the show with him, he thought that Li Mingbao was scheming, but John didn't think much about this, anyway, it was not easy for Li Mingbao to calculate him. So John also generously took Li Mingbao's plan and looked at it.
When he saw the title of Li Mingbao's planning, John immediately felt that Li Mingbao's creativity was not to mention, but the name alone was quite domineering. Millionaire, there can be a show with such a name, relying on this name alone, the ratings of the show will increase to a certain extent. After all, no matter what country it is, millionaires or something are not so widespread these days, even in the United States, millionaires cannot be regarded as the middle class, at least a small boss, to have such a net worth.
And the name of Li Mingbao's show is called Millionaire, and the eye-catching effect is definitely very good. Seeing the name of this show, John has the ** to watch, and the more he watches the creativity of this show, the more John knows the effect of this show, which will definitely be unexpected.
The central idea of this show alone, as long as all the problems of the show can be completed, then that lucky viewer can get a million dollars in cash. Not to mention outsiders, even if John saw it, he was very moved, just to answer some questions, as long as his brain was good enough, then he would be able to get so much money, and he would have such a harvest with his mouth, no matter where he was, this is quite a legendary thing.
With this central idea, there is no reason why this show is not popular. In TV programs, what kind of programs have what kind of risks, generally speaking, those of them who are bosses have a criterion, like millionaires who can't refuse programs like him, let alone ordinary people. So this show is booming, for sure. To put it simply, such a program actually has a cross-era effect. At least John didn't think about it now, and among the many TV stations of his Twentieth Century Fox, there was a more popular program than such a program.
After watching Li Mingbao's program planning, John couldn't wait to ask: "Mr. Li, is this program planning really something you came up with?" It's just a genius idea, and from this show, I can see that Mr. Li's achievements on the TV show are definitely quite extraordinary. I don't know such a good program planning, Mr. Li, do you have full ownership? ”
Seeing John's appearance, Li Mingbao knew that he had achieved his goal, so he said to John with a smile: "Of course, I must have his ownership, after planning this show, I applied for a global patent, although it is only in the application period, but I think others want to infringe, I am afraid there is no possibility of success." After all, as someone who has been in Hollywood for a while, I understand the importance of patents.
A year or two ago, I also applied for a TV program idea, and now the global copyright of this idea is selling quite well, I remember the right to use the patent of TV marketing, and the right to use the patent of home shopping channel, it seems that you Twentieth Century Fox also applied for it, right? ”
"You mean you own all these patents? Oh, damn it, if I knew that these patents were yours, I might as well talk to you directly, God knows how dark your subordinates are charging for this piece of business, and our Twentieth Century Fox Company directly spent six million dollars for two years for the right to use this patent, and the price to pay for one year actually reached three million dollars. Such a patent usage fee is simply terrifying. After John heard Li Mingbao's words, he couldn't help but complain.
"That's a lot? I'm afraid that the price of the next time, John you will be even more uncomfortable, of course, if at that time Twentieth Century Fox is still in your hands. This patent royalty, maybe once a year in the future, after all, the profit is very large, if I don't charge more, the profit will be robbed by you guys, compared to your income, my income is not much. Li Mingbao said with dissatisfaction.
