Chapter 449: Murdoch with a good appetite
readx;
"Hong Kong's television system, especially TVB, is still using the old-fashioned big-studio system. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoBecause of this system, even if I want to get involved in the TV business, it's not so easy. And I can't cooperate with ATV, after all, the interests between me and Uncle Six are completely incomparable to ATV, which has no foundation. For the sake of the safety of the film, I can't run a TV station in Hong Kong, so I can only call the United States.
Fortunately, on the American side, I still have a good friend like John, otherwise even if I have the best ability, I can't play it at all, although I look in danger now, but as long as I can find a suitable partner, then my current situation can be immediately improved. Mr. Murdoch must know this very well, otherwise you wouldn't have called me out to chat today. Regarding his own crisis, Li Mingbao is not afraid of being revealed at all, and said it very generously.
And Murdoch and John, at this time, did not want to eat Li Mingbao, but were thinking about how to cooperate. This kind of reaction is not to say how upright Murdoch and John are, and they don't look at the interests of Li Mingbao's side at all.
If they can really eat Li Mingbao safely, and there are no consequences at all, then they will definitely not mind attacking Li Mingbao, including Li Mingbao's so-called good friend John, who may be the first to pounce on Li Mingbao.
The reason why Li Mingbao didn't attack was because Li Mingbao was actually equivalent to an undeveloped gold mine now, although everyone knew that this gold mine had huge reserves, and as long as they occupied it, they would be able to make a profit sooner or later.
However, Li Mingbao's gold mine is not something that can be reclaimed immediately if it is simply occupied. Because all the interests that Li Mingbao can play, now the rights and interests are in Li Mingbao's own hands, if he really has the heart of watching, he may be able to take a little advantage, but the consequence is that he has more shares of the big gold mine, and he will have no chance with them, and for the sake of a little bit of exposed interests, he will leave more interests behind, which is an idiot's behavior.
That's it, neither John nor Murdoch thought about eating Li Mingbao now, because they couldn't eat it. Since tough means can't get Li Mingbao a stubborn stone, and everyone wants to make money together, the best way is for everyone to cooperate, and then the interests are equal. This kind of cooperation is always more tempting than picking up a little sesame seed.
"So about cooperation, Mr. Li, what do you think should be done? We are all people with a lot of resources, and our superior resources can achieve perfect complementarity, so we have the premise of cooperation, but what to do after that, Mr. Li, what do you think? "Murdoch is also quite a bachelor at this time, and he directly asked Li Mingbao to make conditions.
"How to do it after that, I said before that there are some distribution plans, I will provide technology, and then the funds will be evenly divided, and the channels will be shared, which is quite beneficial to us. Twentieth Century Fox's distribution channels, News Corp's media channels, and my technical content, the three-way cooperation was actually the most enjoyable choice.
And this benefit, too many people come in to share, it will not be of any benefit to us. The fewer people involved, the more benefits we can get. And Mr. Murdoch and I actually have a lot in common, that is, for Americans, we are actually outsiders, especially the guys on Wall Street, for Mr. Murdoch, you, but quite annoyed, you intercept their prey, it is equivalent to a war with them, and the future will probably not be so easy. Li Mingbao said slowly.
"I don't care so much about the people on Wall Street, I don't rely on them in terms of funding, and I don't have a little ability in politics. Coupled with the resources I have, it's not so easy for them to move me.
And the three of us, speaking of which, only Mr. Li, your strength is the weakest. In such a situation, Mr. Li, if you want to occupy a favorable position, it is not so easy, in business, how much ability you have, how big of a cake you can eat. And now it is obvious that your cake is enough, but the strength has not kept up, under such a premise, your interests, naturally, there will be a large outflow, this is the world of capital, just relying on relationships to maintain, is not a reasonable means. Murdoch said with half-squinted eyes.
Murdoch's meaning is quite clear, Li Mingbao wants to cooperate with him and John, which is feasible, but the basis of cooperation is that Li Mingbao must spit out some of his own interests, and then Murdoch and John can protect Li Mingbao's interests. It's not about personal relationships, it's just about business interests.
Hearing Murdoch's words, Li Mingbao was not the slightest surprised, the way of thinking of Europeans is actually quite simple, using strength to push flat, Huairou or something, only when the difference in strength between the two sides is not too big, it will appear, the gap in strength is too big, and Huairou has no foundation.
Murdoch's words are too straightforward, which does make Li Mingbao a little annoyed, but with Li Mingbao's current status, it is impossible to turn his face directly like a gangster, if he really wants to do that, Li Mingbao will seem a little too low-level.
"Mr. Murdoch, you are telling the truth, and my current situation is indeed very dangerous. Only by paying for my own interests can I protect my own interests. But we are partners, and if we are really too straightforward, I am afraid it will not be beneficial to future cooperation.
I'm on TV now, and I've just made a millionaire show, which is a piece of fat that everybody wants to eat. But this piece of fat is very valuable, why should I sell it to you instead of making peace with other people? It's a big deal that I will temporarily withdraw from the business in the United States, and then concentrate on the business in Hong Kong, and when the foundation is solid, I will come to the United States again, wouldn't it be the same, and still have a good popularity.
Although it is difficult for me to let go of this benefit, it does not mean that I can't let go in times of danger, John knows that I have plans to sell DreamWorks before, and if it were not for Mr. Murdoch's acquisition of Twentieth Century Fox and disrupting my plans, I may not have made such a move. We have a word in Huaxia, called willingness, willingness, willingness, and giving. Geckos can survive with their tails cut off, so why can't I?
The reason why I want to cooperate with you, Mr. Murdoch, is only to ensure that my interests are not infringed, and if cooperation cannot avoid such things, then why should I cooperate like this?
To put it bluntly, my current situation is that the development is too fast, the foundation is not solid, but the industry in hand is quite high-quality resources, cooperation, so that the resources can be fully utilized, and then become a new pillar. Mr. Murdoch, do you want a firm ally, or do you want practical benefits? Li Mingbao asked a little playfully.
The choice given by Li Mingbao is actually equivalent to the interests of the present and the interests of the future. Although the current interests are eye-catching, the development prospects will certainly not be as huge as the future interests. Although it is very vain to talk like this, Li Mingbao really has confidence, after all, whose resources are comparable to him?
Hearing Li Mingbao's words, Murdoch said with some dissatisfaction: "Aren't you willing to give up a little profit, Mr. Li?" This kind of cooperation is all beneficial to you, and what kind of benefits can it be for us? ”
"Why do you have to take advantage of me, Mr. Murdoch, instead of looking elsewhere? Even within News Corp., Mr. Murdoch has a lot of targets that can be eliminated, and getting rid of them will not make you much less profitable than in me. To be able to gain a firm ally, Mr. Murdoch, are you so confident that my potential is not as good as those people, and my strength is not as good as theirs?
Not only within News Corporation, but even John's Twentieth Century Fox, the benefits that you can get internally are not a minority, so why can't we unite and snatch their interests, but instead of cutting my flesh? Properly cleaning up the inside will make the company healthier than the expansion outside. Especially now that Mr. Murdoch, you are entering the US market, don't you need a stable rear?
Rather than let those people pull you back, why don't the three of us join forces to form a solid triangle, and doesn't Mr. Murdoch want a more commanding team than a loose News Corp.? Li Mingbao naturally didn't want to cut meat, and Murdoch's appetite was so big, he could only cause trouble and let others take care of the disaster for him.
To put it bluntly, Li Mingbao's strength is not enough, if his strength is strong enough, even if he gives Murdoch courage, he will not dare to covet Li Mingbao's interests. Cooperation is cooperation, and who doesn't like a win-win situation. But the key is that Li Mingbao has strong strength now, but he doesn't have much ability to protect his strength, which is equivalent to being in a weak period, which makes Murdoch have a watchful mentality.
Hearing Li Mingbao's words, Murdoch looked at Li Mingbao and said in a gloomy tone: "Mr. Li, are you so sure that you can become a part of the triangle, not a burden?" If you want to make this triangle, Mr. Li, your current strength is probably not enough. ”
"I'm a little worse off than Mr. Murdoch and Mr. John. But compared to others, my strength is probably even better. After all, I make money very quickly and a lot, which brings me danger and a favorable weapon, which is cash flow.
Although I am not a group of jackals on Wall Street, I am not completely unable to use the means in the financial field, and I can mobilize the funds of Standard Chartered Bank at any time. This money, for a large group, may not be so useful, but if at a critical moment, this money turns into a financial bomb... Bullets, I'm afraid the power will not be small, hundreds of millions of dollars in cash flow, at the moment, I'm afraid there are still some threats. At this time, Li Mingbao also had to release one of his killer features, that is, cash flow.
