One hundred and fifty-one News Corporation
After the helicopter circled the pasture several times, Su Zhen also saw grazing dairy herds and milk processing plants, vineyard wineries, dense sugar cane forests and sugar factories, and freshly planted wheat fields.
In the process, Sigg told Su Zhen that the most advanced modern machinery is used in the ranch from planting and breeding to processing, so there are not many people needed, and there are less than 100 cowboys on the whole farm, and the artificial pressure is not large, and the products basically have a fixed market, and the ranch has its own management team, so Su Zhen does not have to worry about the operation and management of the ranch at all, Su Zhen can not take care of anything after buying it, and the ranch will still operate as usual, which is very in line with Su Zhen's mind.
After a few circles in the sky, the helicopter landed in a nice manor house, and Hick had already arranged rooms for several people.
In the evening, under the hospitality of Sigg, Su Zhen tasted the taste of kangaroo meat for the first time, but after Su Zhen tasted it, he completely lost interest in kangaroo meat, it should be said that in terms of taste, it was not bad, but the smell of kangaroo meat was too strong, and Su Zhen couldn't stand the taste.
In the next few days, Su Zhen accompanied by Sick and Nicole, and a good field survey of most of the pasture, Su Zhen and Lux saw the ferocity of kangaroos, not only will drive and chase sheep to grab the grass, but even the shepherd dogs have no way to take kangaroos, the two saw with their own eyes that under the siege of the border herds, a group of kangaroos not only did not run, but even dared to take the initiative to attack the scene of the sheepdogs, especially those male kangaroos, each of them is about the same size as adults, and even more absolutely those kangaroos can stand with their tails, The hands and feet were used as weapons, Su Zhen was dumbfounded, and the last thing was after the grazing cowboy fired the gun, which scared off the kangaroo, but the first thing Su Zhen thought about when he saw this scene was that after buying the ranch, he must slowly replace all the sheepdogs, although this side of the herding is good. It's also very smart, but obviously there is nothing you can do with a large animal like kangaroos, and if it is the Caucasus in your own pasture, it will not be wrong for such a group of guys.
Not to mention that the environment of this land is very good, Su Zhen and others also saw Australia's national bird here - emu, these huge chocobos are very docile, and they are not afraid of people at all, and they are not afraid of being close to people, and what surprised Su Zhen and Lux was that they saw koalas in the eucalyptus forest on the mountain in the ranch.
Lux, in particular, is so fond of this dull and cute animal that has a long reflex arc. When Su Zhen climbed to the tree and hugged a sleeping koala and handed it to Lux A few hours later, it was the koala who realized that he was no longer in the tree, and after waking up, he neither struggled nor resisted, his clothes were calm and waveless, and he nested obediently in Lux's arms, and after a while, the thing fell asleep again.
Hick said with a smile. Koalas are definitely animals that can not move unless necessary, and never go down a tree unless necessary, basically the most common cause of death for Carla is falls. Because of his age, he couldn't hold on to the tree, and then fell and died, and the second reason was being hit by a car. Because the little koalas have to leave their mother's territory to go to other eucalyptus trees when they grow up, but the koalas are extremely slow, so even if it is a very narrow road. It may also climb for hours.
However, in Lux's opinion, such an animal is too good to be a pet, you can pick it up and comfort it when you need it, and put it aside to let it sleep by itself when you don't need it, and it won't be noisy quietly, although the animals in Su Zhen's house are also very cute, but they are too noisy, especially the new animals, cheetah Duoduo is the most obedient, and he follows Ah Da all day long, not noisy or noisy, but the others are not good, Simba and the two little leopards have not stopped all day long, Basically, the family has to change a few pieces of furniture every week, and they are all bitten and broken by these three guys, which makes everyone have a headache.
After a few days of investigation, Su Zhen made up his mind to buy the ranch, so Su Zhen sat down and prepared to negotiate the price with Sick.
"I'm so sorry, Sue, I've changed my mind now" Schick had a warm smile on his face, but it was indeed an out-and-out treacherous smile in Su Zhen's eyes.
"What, you're not going to sell it?" Su Zhen frowned, and Nicole on the side also frowned and looked at her cousin, Su Zhen brought it by himself, if Hick repented, it would be the same as slapping her in the face.
"No, no, no, of course not, it's still going to be sold" Hick still smiled "but the way has to change, I don't want cash, I want your shares in the Red Maple Company"
SU ZHEN'S BROWS FURROWED DEEPER WHEN HE HEARD THIS, IN HIS OPINION, RED MAPLE COMPANY IS HIS OWN FORBIDDEN BODY, HIS OWN MONEY-MAKING MACHINE, DON'T LOOK AT THE CURRENT RED MAPLE INVESTMENT ASSETS ARE ONLY 10 BILLION, BUT WITH THE EXISTENCE OF GOOGLE AND APPLE SHARES, IT WILL NOT TAKE MANY YEARS FOR THIS NUMBER TO MULTIPLY, AND THE VALUE OF THIS RANCH HAS NOT SO MUCH ROOM FOR GROWTH, IT WILL BE ABLE TO DOUBLE IT AFTER TEN YEARS, SUCH A COST-EFFECTIVE THING, SU ZHEN NATURALLY CAN'T DO IT, AT THE MOMENT, HE GAVE UP THE IDEA OF ACQUIRING THIS RANCH IN HIS HEART, At the same time, he is also preparing to put Hikla on his own blacklist.
"If Mr. Schick thinks so, I don't think there is any need for us to talk about it," Su Zhen finished speaking, and prepared to get up and leave.
Sigg didn't expect Su Zhen's reaction to be so big, and when he saw this, he hurriedly stopped Su Zhen, "Of course, I know that although the value of this ranch is high, if it is used in exchange for a lot of shares invested by Red Maple, it is still a little worse, so I don't know if you are interested in this" Sigg said and took a document from the butler beside him and handed it to Su Zhen.
Su Zhen took a look at it and immediately widened his eyes, "You actually have shares in News Corporation?" ”
Seeing Su Zhen's surprised expression, Hick was extremely satisfied, "How is it, are you interested?" ”
Interested, of course interested, just too interested, News Corporation, the future world's largest media group, what? You don't know about News Corp.? Media mogul Murdoch always knows what to say, right? News Corporation is the Murdoch Media Group, and it is also the largest media group in the world in the future, even Viacom, who cooperated with Su Zhen before, is slightly inferior to it, but the two groups have taken different paths in the future.
News Corp. is the world's largest English-language newspaper publisher, with a global circulation of more than 175 newspapers and a weekly circulation of more than 40 million copies, ranking first in the world in terms of sales and circulation. However, this is only one part of News Corp., whose Fox television network and 35 television stations cover 40% of the country's audience, with satellite television dominating the United Kingdom and Italy. The tentacles reach as far as Asia and the Middle East. Coupled with the 20th Century Fox movies and MySpace, from the traditional paper media to the trendy network, from the content to the channel, News Corp has carefully built a powerful media network, although the market value of News Corp is not as good as Viacom, but there are more than 40 billion, but before the eavesdropping door broke out in the future, the market value was more than 120 billion, but after the eavesdropping door, the market value instantly fell by half. fell to more than 70 billion, but Su Zhen was interested in News Group not because of its appreciation space, but because of its influence in the United States, which is not something that money can calculate, just like Lei Shidong's Viacom, the assets of Viacom Group are not much in the eyes of some old consortium families, but for what Lei Shidong can have a very high status in the United States, and he can be on an equal footing with the senior management of the old big family. It's because he controls half of the American media, what is the media, it's the mouthpiece, it's the influence.
But Su Zhen is strange. Why does Sigg have a stake in News Corp., although it is not much, only 5%, but it is also extremely rare. And if Sigg wants to invest, he can sell this part of the shares, and there is no need to swap shares with Su Zhen.
At this time. Nicole and Lux also came over curiously to see what Su Zhen was doing, Lux was okay, she didn't care too much about these things, and she didn't know much about them, but Nicole was different, of course she knew what this document meant when she was in Hollywood, if Su Zhen only had a place in Hollywood with two works in the past, then once this document was signed, Su Zhen would have the ability to "shake" Hollywood, she never knew that Lu Dao, her low-key family, still had this kind of thing, I couldn't help but ask curiously about Schick, the origin of this share.
"This is also what my father left me, do you think Murdoch can establish himself in Sydney in the first place? If it weren't for the support of our family, Murdoch would have been gnawed clean by Fairbanks, Parker, and the Norton family" Sigg said, Murdoch's earliest newspaper industry came from the four newspapers left by his father, but the Murdoch family was not a big family at that time, and the newspaper industry was basically in a loss-making state, so it can be said that there is no foundation, although Murdoch is a media industry wizard, but he obviously does not have the strength to compete with other big families in Australia, But he was fortunate to have the support of a more established family, that is, the Kidman family, so he was able to soar to the sky and achieve today's hegemony, and it is also because the Kidman family controlled the Australian media through Murdoch, so the family has been able to be so low-key and unknown.
But the rapid development of News Corporation, now Murdoch has been faintly out of the control of the Kidman family, and the shares of the News Corp held by the Kidman family have been controlled and diluted by several different heirs, and it can no longer have enough influence on News Corporation, so Sigg has no interest in continuing to hold these shares, but he is very interested in the shares of Apple Group held by Red Maple Company in Su Zhen's hands, in fact, as early as when Jobs returned to Apple, Sigg was interested in Apple. It's just that there are not many funds in his hands, and the shares of News Corp. and the current ranch are not so easy to sell, so it is worth putting aside the idea for the time being, and preparing to wait for the land to be sold, but not long ago, he actually found that the shares of Apple on the market were actually bought out, and it was not until a few days ago that he found out that all the scattered shares on the Apple market were divided up by Red Maple Company and Dubai Shilu Group, as well as a wealthy man in the real estate industry in the United States. So he put the year on the equity of Hongfeng Investment Company in Su Zhen's hands. (To be continued......)
