Chapter 638: Acquisition of CBS
At the invitation of Wu Tianli, Professor Wang couldn't help but be moved.
After graduating from university, he studied for a master's degree in China and taught for a few years, and then came to the United States to continue his doctoral studies, and then became a professor before leading students to carry out research on automotive technology. What he pursues is not material comfort, but more of a passion for technology and a strong heart for the country.
Therefore, Wu Tianli invited Professor Wang to participate in the technical research and development of Tianma Automobile, and Professor Wang was inevitably excited, but he was not only excited, but he couldn't help but hesitate.
After all, the domestic policy on the automobile industry has not been liberalized, and Tianma Motors, as a private enterprise, is not allowed to enter the automobile manufacturing industry.
Wu Tian immediately mentioned very sincerely, Professor Wang can not return to China, continue to stay here to engage in his current teaching and research work, and at the same time, in the relevant technical fields, he can give some help to Tianma Automobile Research Center.
Professor Wang finally readily agreed.
Immediately, Wu Tian contacted Wang Weixing, and asked the people of Tiansheng Company to help Professor Wang and Tianma set up a real-time communication system respectively, including audio and video communication - although the network speed has been limited in recent years, no matter how big the restriction is, it can't afford to make a lot of money, and it is really not possible to pull a special line directly from the communication company, are you afraid that the network is too slow?
With this communication system, even if it is separated from the Pacific Ocean, Professor Wang can still lead Tianma's R&D team to carry out R&D work in real time, which solves a major problem in front of him, but how to say this remote collaboration. It's still far better than not being directly involved. Efficiency is still going to be greatly reduced.
Actually, seriously. Wu Tian is not without the ability to persuade Professor Wang to return to China, on the issue of Tianma's formal entry into the field of automobile manufacturing, Wu Tian has already started activities, if nothing else, Tianma will be allowed to be licensed urban private automobile manufacturing pilot batch civilization at the beginning of the year.
However, Wu Tian did not say this, the main reason was that Wu Tian did not want to change the trajectory of Professor Wang's fate - Wu Tian vaguely remembered that the resume of the previous Professor Wang showed that he would return to China after 2,000 years. He began to work in teaching and science and technology, and rose rapidly in the Zhigong Party, eventually rising to a high position.
In comparison, a citizen. The master is far more important than a technical expert, after all, in China, although the technology is lacking, there is a chance to catch up. Lord, but he is struggling......

"Congratulations to Mr. Qi for officially adopting CBS TV Network, hehe......"
Wu Tian said to Qi Bing with a smile on his face.
Qi Bing, who was dressed in black professional clothes, couldn't help but smile and glanced at Wu Tian. This guy is purely mocking people, acquiring CBS things. From the beginning of the negotiation, and even the competition with Viacom in the whole process, Wu Tian was behind the scenes, and Qin Weile led Zhongtian's team to complete it in person, but the final signing ceremony was only attended by himself, the president of Zhongtian Entertainment.
"Hehe, the CEO of a large international company has an extraordinary temperament, this white eye is so rolling that people's hearts are beating wildly......" Wu Tian said with a smile.
"Go!" Qi Bing couldn't help but be mocked by Wu Tian in public, and couldn't help but sigh, but then he couldn't help laughing again.
Qin Weile couldn't help laughing and said: "Hehe, Tianshao didn't go to the scene, I didn't see that the shareholders of CBS were stunned by Mr. Qi when they saw Mr. Qi appearing. â
"This sycophant is well shot, Mr. Qi likes others to praise her beautifully, haha." Wu Tian laughed, and couldn't help but attract Qi Bing's angry fist.
Fortunately, although Qin Weile was there, Qin Weile couldn't be considered an outsider, Wu Tian grabbed Qi Bing's little fist without any scruples, pulled her to his side, and whispered in her ear: "Don't change this dress at night......
Qi Bing suddenly understood, and couldn't help but feel ashamed again, stomped on his feet, stomped on Wu Tian's toes, took the opportunity to get out, and stepped on the stairs with small steps.
Poor Wu Tian didn't dare to scream when he was attacked, sat back on the sofa in the living room with a wry smile, beckoned to Qin Weile and motioned for him to sit down opposite, and then asked about the signing of the contract today.
I have to say that Wu Tian was able to officially acquire CBS this time, and the most important problem was not only to defeat Viacom, but to defeat the government of the United States.
As we all know, the government of the United States has always been extremely strict with the defense of Red China, and it is quite difficult for Chinese enterprises to succeed in the United States, especially in the field of high-tech and public opinion.
CBS, as one of the largest public television networks in the United States, the United States government will naturally not be happy to see it fall into the hands of China, indispensable from the beginning of Zhongtian Entertainment's preparation to acquire CBS, the United States government has made many difficulties, trying to hinder the success of the acquisition, the most important of which is the support for Viacom, including promising conditions such as tax exemptions for Viacom, and urging Viacom to acquire at a high price in order to defeat Zhongtian.
However, under Wu Tian's hype methods, the issue of employee treatment raised made Viacom finally give up the heart of CBS - the high-priced acquisition is not a problem, it is nothing more than a one-time payment of some more funds now. Improvement of the benefits of employees. But it's a long-term impact. That means that after the acquisition is sinking, it will be burdened with huge operational pressure, and even make the company have no possibility of making a profit, which is not something Viacom is willing to bear, even if the US government has a tax reduction subsidy, it is absolutely unacceptable!
Viacom's final retreat made Wu Tian pick up a bargain - in fact, it was not cheap, after all, the purchase amount that Zhongtian finally came up with was sky-high. The most important thing is the improvement of employee salaries, which means an increase in operating costs, and this acquisition is not very cost-effective for any company.
Today's signing site, the United States government sent several agents to watch at the scene, but after all, it did not find any reason to prevent the signing of the contract - when the signing was signed, there was a reporter who broadcast it live, and there was no suitable reason, and the United States government did not dare to make a fuss casually......

"Xiaotian, CBS took it down?"
Liu Wencheng's call hit Wu Tian's mobile phone. He asked excitedly.
"Of course, don't forget who I am. When have I not done something? Wu Tian smiled unashamedly.
"Okay, good, you're a genius prodigy, you've been so powerful since you were a child, hehe......" Liu Wencheng smiled happily.
I have to say that Wu Tian's acquisition of CBS is also a gratifying event for Liu Wencheng. You must know that the domestic propaganda system has always been very eager to have some influence on other countries and regions in the international community, in order to show today's China and shape the international image of today's China.
However, Rao is a joint effort of the propaganda system and the diplomatic system, and the effect obtained is also very limited, not to mention affecting public television stations like CBS, that is, trying to add a subsidiary station to the people's TV network, it is a waste of effort, and it is purely to make an ornament, and few people in the United States have subscribed, that is, it has put on a model of international influence in China.
However, Wu Tian's acquisition of CBS is equivalent to the establishment of a base station for Chinese propaganda, if it works well, it can quickly improve the image of China in a large way, especially on some controversial issues, as long as CBS's position is inclined to China's side, it is far more effective than sitting at the negotiating table to solve some diplomatic problems.
Therefore, not long after Wu Tianyi launched the acquisition of CBS, Liu Wencheng especially expressed his support to Wu Tian, declaring that if Wu Tian encountered any problems in the acquisition process, he could find him, and the capital would fully support him.
But it's a pity that Wu Tian doesn't need anyone's help, whether it's money or other aspects!
In this regard, Liu Wencheng felt a little unsettled, in this matter, the capital did not give anyone any help, how can we be embarrassed to let people help us when we turn around?
You must know that this kind of help is different from general problems, and it will inevitably involve political issues and diplomatic issues, which is not a good thing for CBS, in case it is implicated, the problem is quite strict.
*************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** ********************************************************************
"Xiaotian, after acquiring CBS, have you figured out how to operate it?" Liu Wencheng asked tentatively.
"Well, this problem...... Wu Tian said, "The current plan is not to make too many adjustments for the time being, and let the old CBS team continue to operate, and only make some slight adjustments in some details......
How could Wu Tian not know what Liu Wencheng meant?
However, Wu Tian does not want the Beijing side to meddle in CBS's propaganda position. It's not that Wu Tian is stingy, but the problem is that once CBS is used as a weapon by those guys in the capital, the consequences will inevitably be hindered by the United States in many ways, and life and death are worried.
After CBS was acquired by itself, the position can naturally be more inclined to the Chinese side, even if the Chinese government will not say much, but this acceptable range is very particular, only by keeping it within the acceptable range, CBS can continue to survive, and only by continuing to survive and develop, CBS can play a more and more long-term impact on the spread of Chinese culture in the future.
"Well, that's fine......" Liu Wencheng obviously heard the prevarication in Wu Tian's answer, and couldn't help but say with some disappointment.
"Uncle Liu, I understand what you mean, you can rest assured that CBS's position must be on the side of China!" Wu Tian said with a smile, "However, CBS is a çąłĺ˝ĺ Źĺ¸ after all, and its position is more about taking into account the feelings of the rice audience, so in the early operation, I don't want to be contradicted by the rice audience because of the publicity position...... However, I can assure you that CBS will work hard to spread the influence of Chinese culture as much as possible while ensuring its own operation! â
"Oh, hehe, that's right, hehe......" Liu Wencheng smiled, but he didn't taste the meaning of Wu Tian's last sentence......
