Hearing John's conditions, Li Mingbao's face immediately changed: "Such conditions are too harsh. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info North America exclusive distribution rights, I can give out. But fifty-fifty is hard for me to accept. You must know that the creativity of these programs all comes from me, and the key to the quality of a program lies in the creativity.

Therefore, the five-fifty division is absolutely unacceptable to me, and the conditions I can accept are at most three seven, I seven and you three, and the proportion of capital contribution must be five or five, and only in this way can I have enough profits. You know, planning a good show is also very brain-intensive for me. If you come up with a platform, you can get 50% of the profit safely, which is completely unfair to me. ”

"Sanqi? Are you kidding. Mr. Li, I'm afraid you don't know much about the operation mode of our TV station in the United States, right? For any TV station, it is impossible to give such a sharing model, unless it is three of you and I seven, under normal circumstances, the share of the TV station, even if it is the share of a good program, that is, two eight, and it is eight of the TV station, and the producer is two percent. Fifty-fifty is very sincere for us at Twentieth Century Fox, and we are willing to take risks together, and there is no reason for any TV producer not to accept such generous terms.

I can give such a high share plan, it is entirely because we now have common interests, in order to be able to occupy more shares in the News Corporation, and cash, I will agree to such conditions, if it is usual, I can at most give Mr. Li you three seven conditions, our TV station seven, your company three. So Mr. Li, don't be too open-mouthed, that will be completely useless for both of us. After John heard Li Mingbao's words, the green tendons in his brain jumped.

He thought that the conditions he gave Li Mingbao were good enough, before this, when did Twentieth Century Fox offer such favorable conditions? Even normally, it is difficult for the producer of the program to get more than 10% of the contract, and that kind of contract must be given only after the number of ratings is reached, and if such ratings are not reached, the TV station will not only not contribute the production funds, but even the original 10% profit contract may not be given to the producer.

You know, Twentieth Century Fox has more than just one or two TV stations. For these giant companies, their TV stations, as long as they do this aspect of the business, with their background, each company has a national TV channel, even covering the whole of North America.

There is no shortage of TV programs for TV stations like theirs. Even many not-so-famous TV program producers, in the very beginning of their cooperation, would rather make a loss-making business and catch such a big fish, because as long as their program is successful, even if the program does not make money, other programs can immediately rise to the top, and then rely on excellent TV programs to gradually enter a larger market.

And what is Li Mingbao's current situation? He hasn't even started a TV production company yet, and he's a newcomer at all. Such a newcomer can catch the line of the Twentieth Century Fox Company, and they are already burning high incense, and in such a situation, Li Mingbao actually has such an exaggerated share ratio, which is completely to slaughter them like fat sheep in the Twentieth Century Fox Company.

Hearing John's words, Li Mingbao's expression did not change much, but continued: "John, you must know that there is not only one TV show that can be popular in my hands. You're not negotiating with a producer who is lucky enough to get a good show, but a producer who has at least five or more golden shows. That alone makes me very eligible for a price increase. And these shows of mine are not the kind of programs that simply rely on freshness and rely on temporary popularity, but the kind of programs that can endure.

And these programs are my exclusive patents, in this case, you can completely regard me as a program producer with a long history and strong strength. Indeed, in normal times, for John, even a fifty-fifty split is a condition that is difficult for you Twentieth Century Fox to accept.

But you and I both know that this is not the usual time, but a critical moment. As I said before, the cooperation between us is not about the simple interests of the present, but of the interests of entering the News Corp. in the future. In such a situation, we don't have to think too much about short-term interests. Don't you think, John, that if I had a larger share, it would have been more beneficial to you Twentieth Century Fox? ”

"More good, my God, Mr. Li, I suddenly find that your nonsense is becoming more and more shameless. This is clearly the thing that accounts for the benefits of our Twentieth Century Fox company, how can it be more beneficial to our company? At this time, John really wanted to pry Li Mingbao's head open with an axe to see what was in Li Mingbao's head.

"Of course there are benefits, you think about it, Mr. Murdoch's News Corp. is really going to buy your Twentieth Century Fox Company, and then you can maybe have more benefits with your wonderful program, right?" Li Mingbao said step by step.

"Of course, if it weren't for that, I wouldn't have talked to you about cooperation at all." John replied with a haughty snort.

"And after the News Corporation's acquisition of your Twentieth Century Fox Company, it is naturally impossible to ignore the TV programs, and those programs in my hands were the trump cards in the hands of the Twentieth Century Fox TV station at that time. So, at the same time as I acquired you, would News Corp not be interested in my company? Being able to eat your Twentieth Century Fox shows that they have a pretty good appetite, and for the high-rated program producers, that is, me, don't they have the idea of peeping?

For the sake of those popular programs, they all had to buy our company, after all, the agreement between me and you can't be too long, maybe three years, maybe five years, it depends on the progress of your negotiations. After they bought it, the immediate problem was the expiration of our contract, and as long as they didn't want their rivals to take our company over, they had to offer a reasonable price. That's the only way to pull me over.

And the more advantage my show has in the contract with you, the higher the price they will offer me. And when I joined News Corp., we could have more alliances between the two of us. News Corp. is a behemoth, and monsters like this are usually fierce in internal competition, and if we can form some alliances within News Corp., the higher the stake we have, the better it will be for us.

As someone who doesn't have much strength, if I don't find a larger group to protect myself, I will be easily squeezed out of the News Corporation. And when the time comes, the alliance between us will definitely be much stronger than with others, after all, we are old friends, and there is a great foundation for cooperation between the two sides. Li Mingbao slowly said his intentions.

To put it bluntly, Li Mingbao's plan is to become a vassal of Twentieth Century Fox after entering News Corp. Rather than just being a simple minority shareholder. Regarding the struggle for power and profit within the group, Li Mingbao is still relatively clear about the doorway inside.

A small company, or a sole proprietorship, only listens to the boss in terms of internal management, and it is almost the same. After all, in a sole proprietorship, what the boss says is what it is. But monsters such as large groups, or giant conglomerates with many internal shareholders, are actually quite chaotic inside.

In the case of a common goal, they will definitely be able to unite and give full play to the advantages of capital, but in normal times, such a group cannot be what the major shareholders say is what it is. This can be seen in the problem of the United Cinema Line.

At the beginning, even though Li Mingbao was the major shareholder of United Cinemas, he had no management power at all within United Cinemas, which was like a rubber stamp. After that, if it weren't for the plan of the circulation port, it would be difficult for Li Mingbao to recover the management rights of the United Cinema Line. And even if Li Mingbao seized the opportunity and made appropriate moves, he didn't say that he would drive out all the other people's forces, but just took control of some key departments, and then maintained a certain advantage, so that Li Mingbao could be regarded as doing a good job.

A company with relatively simple shareholders like United Cinemas has so many problems, let alone a behemoth like News Corporation. Murdoch is in the News Corporation, and the general direction must be decided by him, but in the specific details, even if it is Murdoch, he doesn't want to be completely controlled, so the internal struggle is not a science fiction thing at all, but a necessary thing.

Under such circumstances, even if a big guy like John suddenly entered News Corp., it does not mean that he can gain a firm foothold. It's harder to make your voice heard internally than it is to control Twentieth Century Fox. At this time, Li Mingbao said that if he also joined News Corp., then he would definitely stand with Twentieth Century Fox to resist the wind and waves.

Although even Li Mingbao has joined News Corporation, his shares cannot be too much, at best one or two percentage points, which is still the current News Corporation. But one or two percentage points may be very small in normal times, but at a critical time, even a percentage point of 0.5 may be able to affect the overall situation, so Li Mingbao's promise is definitely heartwarming for John.

Sure enough, after hearing Li Mingbao's words, John immediately fell silent. It was only after a long time that John said, "Fifty-fifty at most, it's a must." If there were more, the people on News Corp's side weren't stupid. We can't make it too obvious, it's easy to go wrong. It is impossible for our company to make concessions in this regard, but we can compensate you for your losses from other aspects.
