So far, Li Mingbao can be regarded as having understood this transaction. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info For Twentieth Century Fox, they will not lose money at all if they merge into News Corporation. After all, the current Twentieth Century Fox Company can be regarded as the highest price tag, unless the strength of the Twentieth Century Fox Company has increased substantially again, otherwise their prices, if they want to continue to perform at such a high level, it is basically difficult, as long as a movie breaks their box office record, the company's stock price diving, it will become an inevitable thing.

Originally, at this time, there would not have been a wronged boss to buy the company, but now that there is such a wronged boss and a very powerful wronged boss, whether it is out of consideration for the company or out of personal consideration, John has no reason not to sell, so even if the company is his heart, it should be sold. Even Li Mingbao speculated that John's sale of the company was not a simple sale, but a part of the cash, plus some shares of News Corporation, so that he could directly change from a major shareholder of Twentieth Century Fox to a minority shareholder of News Corporation.

Although such a change is quite uncomfortable for John on the surface, after all, it is better to be the head of the chicken than the queen of the ox. But it also depends on the situation, News Corporation's interests are greater than that of Twentieth Century Fox, and this company is still growing rapidly, compared with Twentieth Century Fox, which has stagnated growth, News Corp's interests are obviously much higher than Twentieth Century Fox's development potential, so that even if he becomes a minority shareholder, his actual power will be greater than before.

So this deal, for John, is a good deal. And for Murdoch, such a deal is also very profitable. He is in the business of journalism, and what he needs is news, and in this part of the United States, what news can be greater than the news of directly buying a Hollywood giant company?

Not only that, coupled with his hobby of celebrity journalism, and the position of Twentieth Century Fox in Hollywood, the acquisition of such a company, it can be said that he can immediately have a large news base in the United States.

To complete this acquisition plan, although there will definitely be losses in terms of money and money, the gains in other aspects will definitely be greater than this loss. With such a plan, where is there an old fox like Murdoch who can't start? Besides, he didn't really spend a lot of money to buy Twentieth Century Fox, but exchanged shares for mergers and acquisitions, and in fact, the funds occupied were not too much.

Both sides are beneficial, but for Li Mingbao, it is difficult to determine whether such a situation is good or bad. After all, the relationship between him and News Corp. has nothing to do with it at all, and now his company in Hollywood has not yet passed the protection period, even if he has actions in this area now, it is basically difficult to form combat effectiveness in a short period of time.

And if Twentieth Century Fox had really integrated into News Corp., it was still unknown whether the company at that time would have had the same good relationship with its own DreamWorks as it does now. After all, DreamWorks' current market depends to a large extent on the relationship between Li Mingbao and John, as well as the quality of DreamWorks' production, which is of great benefit to companies like Twentieth Century Fox that focus on films.

But the problem is that Murdoch is not a professional filmmaker, and his focus will not be on the film industry, others are men who want to become the king of journalism, and it is hard to believe how much attention they will attach to film. The importance of their own company is still unknown, let alone a company like DreamWorks that only cooperates with Twentieth Century Fox, the possibility of them caring is too small.

And if they don't care anymore, it will be difficult for DreamWorks to ensure their safety now, which is definitely not good news for Li Mingbao.

"Yes, this is indeed a win-win situation for us, if News Corp can continue to develop at this high speed, even if I am no longer a major shareholder of Twentieth Century Fox, it is still good news for me, after all, it is too difficult for Hollywood giants to go further, and there is too little room for development. But News Corp. has a broader space for development than our company. John said with a smile.

"But that's not necessarily good news for me. Although I don't know Murdoch, I also know that he started as a journalist, and the acquisition of Twentieth Century Fox is probably the most important thing for him is the television network in Twentieth Century Fox and the distribution channels of the entire company, and for Twentieth Century Fox's own film business, I think even if he attaches great importance to it, it is only limited attention. As a result, a company like DreamWorks, which relies on the protection of Twentieth Century Fox, will have a hard time in the future. Li Mingbao pretended to be pitiful and said.

Hearing Li Mingbao's words, John also said helplessly: "I'm really sorry, after all, this acquisition of News Corp. is of great benefit to us, basically except for this time, under normal circumstances, no one will fight our Twentieth Century Fox company." ”

To put it simply, except for local tyrants like News Corp who have other purposes, ordinary people with sober minds will not fight the idea of Twentieth Century Fox, even if it is a group of people on Wall Street, they have to care about the cost. So if it doesn't sell at this time, then after someone breaks the fragile box office record, it will be impossible for Twentieth Century Fox to have such good conditions.

John's approach has a quite capitalist demeanor, holding the idea that a dead friend is not a poor man, and it doesn't matter if he cheats others, this other person also includes Li Mingbao, a person who has a good relationship with John.

Of course, after John said this, he immediately said: "But I think there are more possibilities for us to cooperate." I don't know if Mr. Li wants to hear it? ”

"Cooperation? What to work with? Seeing that Twentieth Century Fox has inevitably fallen into the mouth of News Corporation, Li Mingbao really doesn't know where John can cooperate with him at this time. Although John also said that Twentieth Century Fox would cooperate with DreamWorks, after knowing that News Corp was going to acquire Twentieth Century Fox, Li Mingbao understood that John's previous words were just polite, but the problem is that now John really has the idea of cooperation, which surprises Li Mingbao.

Seeing Li Mingbao's uncertain expression, John said with a smile: "It's the simplest film cooperation?" Wasn't this what we've worked on before? Mr. Li, since you have such a good film talent, you can produce so many scripts at once, and the box office is also good, and you also said that it is not difficult for you to replicate such an action in the United States.

So why can't we work together? Although the films produced by Twentieth Century Fox now account for the top three in the North American box office, such a result is simply brilliant, that is, MGM could have such ability back then. But why can't we go further?

For example, occupy the top 10 of the North American box office list? Or the top 50 films, we at Twentieth Century Fox account for half. In that case, News Corp. will definitely pay a higher price when it buys our Twentieth Century Fox company than it does now.

And the release of so many high-grossing movies in a short period of time is also a great benefit for Mr. Li. After all, our Twentieth Century Fox Company is only a distribution, and Mr. Li, the money you can make is not a small amount. As long as you can release a number of movies in a short period of time, and all of them have achieved good box office results, the money that Mr. Li can make in the movie is at least a billion dollars, so much money, for Mr. Li, it is not a small amount. If you have money to make, why not make it? ”

"I can make a movie, but if I do this, it will cause public outrage, right? At that time, I will still have your twentieth Century Fox troubles, but it is quite a lot, this is basically equivalent to a declaration of war, other giant companies, can they watch us make money so happily? Where is this to make money, this is to cause trouble, okay? Regarding John's proposal, Li Mingbao is quite unoptimistic.

It seems that by doing so, you can indeed make a lot of money in a short period of time. But in this world, people who can make money so crazy, which one is not a big force behind it, a small person like him, getting rich overnight or something, is definitely not a good thing, but a disaster. If he really wants to do this, he will be able to directly oppose those giant companies, and the better situation is that in the Hollywood film industry in the future, even if he invests in movies, there will be countless people who will intervene in it, and he will definitely not be given the opportunity to eat alone. If he is unlucky, he basically doesn't want to make money in Hollywood in the future, and for those capitalists, those who rob their own money will definitely not be treated very politely. In the past, they could directly use the method of ** elimination, but now it is more troublesome to do so, but they can also eliminate Li Mingbao from other ways to disrupt the market.

For the sake of billions of dollars that may not be able to get his hands, Li Mingbao completely closed the door to the North American market, and this kind of business is a loss no matter how you look at it. It was also a shame that John was able to think of such a way to die, which was to push him into the fire pit. John can withstand such pressure, but can he, Li Mingbao?

Taking 10,000 steps back, this matter is very risky for Li Mingbao, but for John, it may not be risky, anyway, he plans to sell the Twentieth Century Fox Company, and what kind of trouble this company will encounter in the future will not have much impact on him at all. Anyway, as long as the acquisition is successful, the trouble will be Murdoch, the acquirer, and he, John, can stand aside and watch the excitement.
