Chapter 1049: Sharpen the knife to Disney
After careful observation, Han Xuan found that Qianqian's mother was indeed not ambiguous with her grandfather, and the eyes of each other when they looked at each other could not deceive people, and the two just had a good relationship.
This made him relieved and a little disappointed at the same time, he himself didn't understand why he had such emotions, probably he didn't want to see his grandfather and continue to live a single life.
A villa the size of Beverly Hills, but only him and his servants, this kind of life is definitely not comfortable.
Relieved from the initial shock, he began to wonder again about whether to arrange a marriage for his grandfather, the difference between the two is less than 20 years, it is not unacceptable......
"Titanic" Emperor Pictures invested half of the company, which is half the host of this test screening.
Rupert Murdoch, the owner of Twentieth Century Fox and the head of News Corporation, also came to receive the guests.
The Australian experience in the United States can be described as legendary, because US law does not allow non-citizens to own both television and newspaper offices, so Murdoch became American citizenship ten years ago.
Now he has a media outlet that even the government finds terrifying, and the company's Fox TV is the fourth largest television station after ABC, NBC, and CBS.
It's past seven o'clock, and there is still half an hour before the movie starts, and some people have already begun to go in and take their seats.
There were about 1,200 guests tonight, and Han Xuan's mouth was dry just by greeting them, and the etiquette was in place, hoping that when writing the manuscript in the evening, those film critics could be merciful.
At this moment, Murdoch came up to him, stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Good evening, amazing little one."
I thought that it would take me another ten years to take out ABC TV and become one of the three major TV stations in the United States, but I didn't expect it to come back to life in your hands.
If it weren't for the lack of money, I wanted to buy it at that time, and your grandfather made the right decision, the market value of ABC TV has increased by almost $4 billion in recent years, right?
I regret that I didn't gamble like Han, forgetting that profits are proportional to investment, and in the end, I was too timid......"
A newspaper of the News Corporation, once targeted the old man's SOS Group.
So the old man was very wrong with him, when he took Han Xuan to a party before, he saw Murdoch, but he didn't say hello, this was the first time he talked to Han Xuan.
There are no eternal enemies in business, only eternal interests, and it is much better to make one more powerful friend than multiple powerful enemies.
What's more, twenty or thirty years have passed since those old things, and even the old man doesn't care anymore.
Seeing that Murdoch had the intention of showing goodwill, Han Xuan replied with a smile: "It doesn't make that much, but it has a lot of development potential, and your company is not bad."
I want to use this TV station to build an entertainment empire, and if you're willing to sell News Corp.'s stake in Twentieth Century Fox, that's great. ”
That's not an immodest statement.
Murdoch is also developing in the direction of the entertainment film and television industry tycoon, and now he has succeeded, but he is not the biggest, showing a situation where several giants are juxtaposed, Time Warner and Sony Columbia are not small, and the strength of the Han family in the film and television entertainment industry can only be regarded as second-rate.
Murdoch smiled and said indifferently: "In my opinion, as long as the price is right, there is nothing that cannot be sold."
But I think Disney is more for you, and its pillar industry, traditional animation, is being hit by Pixar Animation Studios.
In the first two years, in the battle with your grandfather SOS Group, I was also at a disadvantage, and lost the opportunity to acquire ABC TV, resulting in a sharp drop in market value, and now is a good time to start.
Disney has only recently started to get involved in computer animation, and if your grandfather is willing to trade Pixar Animation Studios for their shares, I'm sure those shareholders will be more than happy to ......."
In fact, this is a good idea, but Han Xuan feels that Disney's market value will further decline under his own impact.
Without ABC TV and Marvel Studios, even the old action paintings are facing difficulties, the company's growth potential is limited, and if it can't find a new way out, it will definitely lose money in the future.
Doing business against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, and now its market value is still too high, in his opinion, it is not the best time, and you have to wait a little longer.
What's more, now that Han Xuan is short of money, every time he looks at the account, the richest man wants to cry......
Suddenly thinking of something, he said to Murdoch with a smile on his face: "Since you can sell anything, how about selling me the online broadcast rights of those movies of Twentieth Century Fox?"
I want to take some interesting little videos and play them for free on my video software, which can play a promotional role, indirectly drive the performance of Twentieth Century Fox video rental, and increase the revenue of your company.
And my video software can also increase the number of user views, and the click-through rate is high, so the advertising price can be sold higher, and we are a win-win situation.
Since I put clips from my grandfather's movies on video sites, the number of rental discs has increased a lot recently......"
Nowadays, on the Internet, the longest video is only more than ten minutes, and it takes a long time to download.
Beginning with the rapid growth of Hope's news site, Murdoch began to focus on this emerging field, and now News Corp. has also ventured into online news, opening its doors to the public at the beginning of the year.
He knew that there must be something in this that he couldn't think of, otherwise Han Xuan would definitely not specifically mention this matter.
However, due to the influence of the concept of the times, Murdoch could not imagine that he could watch an entire movie on the Internet in the future, which led to the decline of the video rental industry, thinking that Han Xuan wanted to use the highlights of those movies to sell advertisements to make money.
So after thinking about it for a while, he offered a high price and said, "20 million US dollars, 20 years of copyright."
In addition, I want 30% of the income from playing my company's movies. ”
A typical lion's big mouth, this price is far beyond Han Xuan's expectations.
He was dumbfounded, thinking that business was not doing well now, and people were watching out for him.
It is much more difficult to pick up the leak than before, as long as you want something, the other party must hold on to it and not let go, or offer a sky-high price higher than the actual price, otherwise you would rather not sell.
Last year, for example, Hope Technology wanted to buy a company that makes the outer layer of protective glass for products like mobile phones and digital camera displays, which is a subsidiary of Corning Corporation.
The strange thing is that after the news came out, the company's market value soared by 37% in just three days, causing Han Xuan to finally pinch his nose and buy it at a price 60% higher than expected.
There is no way, the LCD screen of Hope Technology Company must use it, and the production technology of other companies is not as high as it.
When he found a seat and sat down, Han Xuan shook his head and pretended to cry without tears, and said, "Mr. Murdoch, I really want to talk to you about business.
I really can't accept your harsh conditions.
From those movies, my video site can only make very little money, and if you go by the price you said, my company will lose money......"
