The key reason why Li Mingbao was able to put forward such outrageous conditions is that he is now, in a sense, in the same interests as Twentieth Century Fox, and they both want or are forced to want to join News Corp. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Info And in News Corp., it's not like there's a very united atmosphere.

In fact, in any super-large group, their interests are not the same, even if it is a large family business, they are still fighting for power and profit, let alone this kind of large group that huddles together for warmth, if they don't fight, it's just a joke.

Since we want to fight, we must ensure that our own interests can not go wrong within the group, how can we not go wrong? One is to let their company have considerable energy in the group, which is not lacking in Twentieth Century Fox, they were originally the first partner of News Corp. in North America, and it is also the only group that News Corp. can handle in North America, so they have a congenital advantage in this regard, even if they enter News Corp., they Twentieth Century Fox also have a lot of autonomy, not everything is subject to News Corp., but in the general direction, It is necessary to align interests with News Corporation.

And the second point is that they need to have enough shares in News Corporation, and this sufficient stake does not mean that they can achieve Murdoch's status, and John has never thought about this, if they can really replace the Murdoch family, it will not be News Corp. that will annex their Twentieth Century Fox, but Twentieth Century Fox's annexation of News Corp., which is obviously impossible. They can maintain consistency with the Murdoch family, but it does not mean that they do not need shares within the group, and if they have a significant advantage in shares, the life of Twentieth Century Fox within the group will not be too easy.

And the original vested interests, John can't win at all, those are equivalent to the ancient aristocracy, have their code of conduct, and John, equivalent to the nouveau riche, into this industry, at the beginning is inevitably excluded. In such a situation, being able to pull Li Mingbao in is definitely good news for them. This is the real reason why John acquiesced in Li Mingbao's embezzlement of the interests of Twentieth Century Fox.

But embezzlement is embezzlement, at least there are some logical issues, if the 20th Century Fox Company gives Li Mingbao too much concession in this regard, it is obvious that there is a cat, and Murdoch can't see it, then it will be a fool. So in this regard, Li Mingbao can at most share fifty-fifty with their Twentieth Century Fox Company, this is still because Li Mingbao's program will be a great success, plus the creativity and patents of the program are in the hands of Li Mingbao, the way to share can only be achieved, if Li Mingbao cooperates with this company, he will not be able to take the initiative at all, John can give eighty-two shares, which is already quite a face for Li Mingbao, and some harsh terms must be limited, otherwise, This transaction is a clear loss.

At this time, Li Mingbao also understood what John meant, and accepted such a sharing plan in theory. After all, he is now equivalent to taking advantage of the fire to rob, if he doesn't grasp the degree well, the final loss is the interests of both parties.

"Fifty-five points make fifty-five points. Anyway, our interests are actually the same, and we can make greater interests in the shortest possible time, and only in this way can we squeeze more resources on the side of News Corp.

Murdoch has a lot of ambition and a lot of background, so if we can get into this express, it will be a good choice for us. At that time, once Twentieth Century Fox enters the News Corporation, it will be equivalent to Murdoch having a pivotal position in the entire European and American news industry, and it will be much easier for us to enter the European region. Li Mingbao nodded and said.

"So now, do you still want to buy a TV station? And your dream factory, will it also be in News Corp.? John asked.

"Buy a TV station? In the current situation, what other TV station do I buy? The entry of a predator like Murdoch into this market shows that there will be fundamental changes in the Hollywood market in the future, and the people on Wall Street will not be satisfied with the remote command as they are now, and it is what they want to do to directly take over the giant companies. In this way, the entire North American entertainment market is basically about to enter the era of hegemony, and any company without the support of a large group or consortium behind it may not have a good time. If you want to be an independent film or TV station, I'm afraid it's not so easy.

Under such circumstances, I naturally wouldn't want to be cannon fodder, or I wouldn't want to cooperate with you Twentieth Century Fox. As for DreamWorks, I think it's better not to go to News Corp. This is relatively free. But DreamWorks' shares, I think when necessary, will sell a part of them to people who can bring more benefits to DreamWorks, such as John. If you're interested, I might be able to sell you some shares at a certain time. Li Mingbao looked at John with a smile.

Hearing that Li Mingbao had the idea of selling DreamWorks, John asked with great interest, "Is it just to sell some shares?" And not all for sale? I remember that you were planning to sell all the shares in DreamWorks, why have you changed your mind now? ”

John's question made Li Mingbao answer with a wry smile: "It's not because of the damn News Corporation, if they weren't so ambitious to buy your Twentieth Century Fox, I wouldn't have such an idea." The characteristics of News Corp. doom them not to invest too much in movies, and it is good to be able to maintain the status quo.

Originally, my Dream Factory was going to sell to you Twentieth Century Fox. But now that you're all going to be bought, there's no way to sell it to you. In addition, Hollywood will enter the stage of competition for hegemony in the future, and it is difficult for a small fish like our Dream Factory to live nourishingly in such a situation. Even if you want to sell it, you can't sell it for a good price. In that case, I might as well pull you John to our DreamWorks, so that you can give us more protection for DreamWorks, and also make DreamWorks' value not lose too much. ”

"You know it's going to be hard for two years, so why do I have to buy your DreamWorks at a high price? Wouldn't it be better for me to buy at a low price? John was very satisfied with Li Mingbao's answer, but he did not hide his desire to live more.

"Indeed, buying at a low price is a good thing for you, John, because it will save you money. But if you do that, the Dream Factory you buy is just an empty shell. The rise of DreamWorks is not because of other reasons, but because of my scheduling, at the very beginning, I developed DreamWorks, and I had a very clear central idea, and now the achievements of DreamWorks also show that my vision is not wrong.

Although DreamWorks is not an empty shell now, there are still so many fixed assets. But in fact, DreamWorks' ability to innovate has always been in my hands. Without my creativity and my planning, the value of DreamWorks would have fallen by more than half. If you want to develop quickly in the future, it is basically difficult. As you know, film companies and TV companies are actually two different concepts, and the importance of creativity in TV companies is not the same concept as film companies at all.

For the development of a film company, only a steady stream of good movies can make him develop, and movies are the most fundamental thing. For me, movie creativity is not too much of a problem, I can play Hong Kong movies well, and I can also play Hollywood movies well. So if you really want to make more money at DreamWorks, there is only one premise, and that is to work with me. And with me, you can't buy DreamWorks at a low price, because then I don't have to make any money. Without my DreamWorks, the prospects are not so good, even if they are supported by old films, but there is still a big gap between DreamWorks' film library and those large film companies, after all, it has not been established for two years. In such a situation, John, are you willing to ask for a piece of garbage? Or would you rather have a film company with a bright future? Li Mingbao looked at John and asked.

Li Mingbao's words are definitely not nonsense, John also knows Li Mingbao's ability, so a big reason why he wanted to buy DreamWorks in the first place is because of Li Mingbao's brain, if there is no Li Mingbao's brain, the value of DreamWorks is only like that, in the case of owning Twentieth Century Fox, it is difficult for John to be interested in other film companies.

"If that's the case, I think it's in my interest that you're at the helm of DreamWorks. After Twentieth Century Fox merged into News Corp., I might have to put my main business in DreamWorks if I needed to, but of course, you would need to sell me enough shares. John promised to Li Mingbao.

"Of course, if John joins you, it's definitely a good thing for DreamWorks. Even if necessary, we can also put Murdoga on the list alone, after all, no one will think that they have a lot of money. The rate of return of movies is much higher than that of newspapers. If we can make the DreamWorks industry bigger, it will be good for us, and it may not even be able to become a new giant company. Hearing John's answer, Li Mingbao also smiled and agreed.

Perhaps before coming to the United States, Li Mingbao was a person who liked to eat alone. Especially when he was in Hong Kong, although he seemed to be very generous, but in fact, when he first started, he definitely ate a lot of solitary food, even if it was later, when Li Mingbao had the opportunity to eat alone, he would not let go of such an opportunity, just like cooperating with CCTV to advertise, it was really going to be successful, Li Mingbao had no intention of sharing the benefits with others.

But after John suddenly said that News Corp was going to acquire Twentieth Century Fox, Li Mingbao discovered that not everywhere can eat alone, especially in the United States, where a person with small arms and legs like him wants to eat alone, and the only end is to be squeezed out by others.
