Chapter 451: Embarrassment

readx;

"No, Mr. Murdoch, I think you are mistaken, our cooperation is not a cooperation between our company and News Corporation, but a personal cooperation between me and Mr. Murdoch. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info News Group has a big business, where can I see such a meager asset? Li Mingbao looked at Murdoch and said word by word.

"Collaboration between individuals?" When Murdoch heard Li Mingbao's words, he said in some silence.

"Yes, it's a partnership between us, not our company and News Corp. Mr. Murdoch can represent News Corp as much as himself. Mr. Murdoch, do you think it's appropriate to give this profit to News Corp.? Or is it appropriate for yourself? Li Mingbao looked at Murdoch with a smile.

"But what good is it for you to cooperate with me personally, Mr. Li? I believe that what Mr. Lee really cares about is News Corporation, not me, Murdoch. Mr. Li, you have no interest in News Corp at all? Murdoch asked rhetorically.

"Interested, of course interested, if I had no interest in News Corp, then I wouldn't have met Mr. Murdoch. But I don't have that much ability to work directly with News Corp., and it would be much easier to work with Mr. Murdoch personally. Li Mingbao said very honestly.

"So, Mr. Li is interested in my shares in News Corporation?" At this time, Murdoch's eyes flashed with a fine light, and he was faintly wary of Li Mingbao. After all, although he is the majority shareholder of News Corporation, it does not mean that others do not have the idea of watching his position, if his share loss is serious, it is difficult to say what News Corporation's surname will be at that time.

Li Mingbao naturally saw the vigilant look in Murdoch's eyes, so he immediately explained: "Mr. Murdoch, I don't have that much in mind. To be honest, if News Corp. didn't have Mr. Murdoch, he wouldn't be as valuable as he is now. What I want to find is a good backer, not a bloated consortium that is out of the woods and ruined. So I don't have the heart to look at Mr. Murdoch's shares. ”

"Then what does Mr. Li mean?" Hearing Li Mingbao's sycophancy, Murdoch was not intoxicated at all, but continued to ask.

"Mr. Murdoch, don't you think there are too many shareholders in News Corp these days? Although the majority shareholder is still Mr. Murdoch, there are also people who oppose Mr. Murdoch, and Mr. Murdoch has no opinion on these people? Rather than letting a group of people who don't agree with you continue to stay in their seats, it's better to get together and let them leave, so that the shares will not be vacated? Then the shares I needed were also settled. Li Mingbao said what he thought.

He never thought of getting a stake in News Corp from Murdoch, because that would undoubtedly be on the opposite side of Murdoch, although because of the relationship of interests, the two sides will continue to cooperate well, but this stake is actually cutting meat from Murdoch, who cuts off his own flesh, will he still have a good face for such a person?

So from the very beginning, Li Mingbao planned to get the shares of News Corp. from someone else's hands, rather than directly from Murdoch. News Corp. has developed to the present, and it also needs to be replaced, and some shareholders who used to be a big help to News Corp. have actually become chicken ribs by this time.

And after Murdoch enters the American market, sooner or later he will attack these people. Li Mingbao is now, but there is a time difference, first let Murdoch have such a mind, and then he can follow these big guys to pick up cheap behind his back.

Hearing Li Mingbao's words, Murdoch's eyes lit up. To be honest, he has long been dissatisfied with some people in the News Corporation. When I came to the United States to develop my career, I had the intention of expanding the News Corporation, and I also had the intention of throwing away those who were useless. The development of any group is inseparable from upgrading. If it can't keep up with the times, then it will not be so easy for the group to expand.

But this kind of thing must be done slowly, and the foundation must be consolidated first, before you can start with those old guys. Otherwise, if the foundation has not been established, it will be detrimental to News Corp. to turn against those old guys, so Murdoch plans to take his time in this matter.

But now Li Mingbao directly put this problem on the surface, which caught Murdoch a little off guard, after all, Li Mingbao is not a member of News Corporation, and he began to point fingers at the personnel within News Corporation, and it doesn't look like a good stubble, he doesn't want to get a group of old things out, and then he will bring in a jackal who is fighting for power and profit with him, which will be a big trouble.

So Murdoch said in a somewhat ethereal tone at this time: "Mr. Li, it seems that you are still very concerned about our News Corporation." ”

Hearing Murdoch's words, Li Mingbao knew that it was not good, although Murdoch wanted to purge those useless forces, but Murdoch also did not want some unexpected people. And Li Mingbao is so active now, and he has the intention of being an unexpected person, Murdoch naturally will not have too good thoughts about Li Mingbao.

I'm in a hurry. Li Mingbao lamented in his heart at this time. How can Murdoch, who can carry forward News Corp with one hand, be the one who will die after listening to two flickering sentences? How can News Corp. thrive in that way?

"Mr. Murdoch, I value News Corp. and I don't value it. The reason why such a thing is brought up is just to find a backer. I really don't have the idea of interfering in the internal affairs of News Corporation, after all, News Corp. is essentially a news group, and I really don't know anything about this industry. The reason why I have so much to say to Mr. Murdoch now is because News Corp.'s acquisition of Twentieth Century Fox is directly linked to my interests.

In such a situation, I would also have a lot of ideas for my own benefit, and I would like more than just be swallowed up by News Corp. and then just get some money. Asking for a stake in News Corp. is really like buying an insurance policy for me. After all, my main business is not the same as Mr. Murdoch, you are in the news, I am in the TV and film business, although the interests of TV and the News Group are somewhat intertwined, but our purpose is not the same, I want programs and TV series, while Mr. Murdoch wants channels. In this regard, our interests do not conflict, but complement each other.

So Mr. Murdoch, you don't have to worry much about my mind at all. A person's energy is always limited, and it is foolish to put one's limited energy into an unlimited career. And the journalism industry is obviously not so related to my career, I do it myself, I don't have that ability, so I can only rely on Mr. Murdoch's ability to benefit each other. Bringing in me is more beneficial to you, Mr. Murdoch, than to bring in some elites in the same industry. Li Mingbao pondered for a moment before speaking to Murdoch.

Hearing Li Mingbao's explanation, whether it is Murdoch or John, although they do not completely believe Li Mingbao's statement, Li Mingbao's statement is also well-founded. It's not nonsense, in the news industry, Li Mingbao has no foundation at all, even if he has this heart, he can't develop in a short period of time, as long as Li Mingbao enters the News Group in the future and strictly controls this aspect, Li Mingbao wants to make waves, which is more difficult than others, so Li Mingbao's threat is really not as great as the threat of others for Murdoch.

"Since Mr. Li has said so, it seems that I can't say it if I don't invite Mr. Li to News Corp. Our cooperation is very basic. And I do have some opinions about some people inside. Mr. Li, how are you going to help me? Murdoch's face also showed a smile, and he looked much more relaxed.

"My cooperation with Mr. Murdoch is mainly in the TV production company, and John and I have worked together a lot in this company before. So now we can work together in three ways on this company. And then in the shortest possible time, the company is really done. John contributed manpower, I contributed technology, and then Mr. Murdoch contributed public opinion resources to sell the copyright of our company's programs to the world as quickly as possible.

Well, we have three points of profit, the program production company, I plan to divide it into three points, in terms of shares, I have 40 percent, and John and Mr. Murdoch, you each have 30 percent. In terms of profits, this is also how they are distributed. Later, if Twentieth Century Fox merges into News Corporation, we will try to make this company occupy more shares, and at the same time squeeze other people's shares, it will also benefit all three of us at the same time, so that Mr. Murdoch's stake in News Corp. will increase a lot invisibly. As for DreamWorks Films, since Mr. Murdoch you are not interested, then forget it, John, are you still interested in this company? Speaking of this, Li Mingbao looked at John, who was listening patiently, and asked.

I had listened to Li Mingbao and Murdoch's negotiations before, John had been a transparent person for a long time, and now he finally let himself speak, John said with a smile: "My interests with Mr. Murdoch are not very different, whether it is for TV or for movies, I am very interested, since Mr. Li has spoken, of course I will not refuse." Shares in the film company, leave me a copy. ”

"Well, John, in fact, you can also cooperate with Mr. Murdoch at this time to sweep out some of the other shareholders in Twentieth Century Fox. This will not only purify the interior, but also increase John's control over Twentieth Century Fox, and if John needs funds, my side can also help. This condition is also valid for you, Mr. Murdoch. Anyway, my money is there, and I can't use it for a while, and the industry can't keep up, so it's a waste to put it there. Li Mingbao smiled at John and Murdoch promised.
