Since the establishment of Smith Media, Abel has proudly said that he wants to acquire N TV.

It's been more than four months.

For more than four months.

Neither Abel nor Smith Media had reached out to GE.

Like Warren Buffett said.

GE takes this powerful mouthpiece of public opinion very seriously.

After four months of hard work, Abel gradually understood one thing.

That is, for a short time, when GE has not completely decayed.

If you want to buy N TV station, it is estimated that it is really an impossible thing to achieve.

Especially after he became one of the majority shareholders of GE, owning more than 5% of the shares.

He understood this even more.

So at this time, Abel's mind has actually changed.

He went from the previous imperative to N TV to the idea of preparing with both hands now.

The so-called two-handed preparation, the first preparation is that he will continue to stare at N TV station, and wait for the opportunity to win it at the first opportunity.

The other hand is to prepare, in the case of not being able to get N TV station. Smith Media's own television network is also going to start building.

Don't think it's hard, it's achievable now.

In parallel time and space, in the case of the existence of the four major television networks now.

Columbia and Warner Bros. have formed a joint television network, the fifth largest television network for short.

This fifth-largest TV network, although it has always surpassed the top four, also covers 95% of users in the United States.

Abel felt that he could do it all.

You can even combine the streaming media platforms of Milk Fly, Hulu, Turtle and Azon to create a TV network in the new era.

However, the combination of the latter is not very realistic at present.

The main reason is that the current network broadband conditions are not yet supported, and it will take another year or two.

After about 2003, the Internet bandwidth in the United States supported the online with a resolution of about 480p, and the time for these streaming media platforms to be launched.

Before that, Abel felt that if Smith Media really couldn't win N TV right away.

Then, he is ready to embark on a big acquisition in the television industry.

You must know that although the four major TV networks are now the kings and hegemons in the industry.

But in fact, the United States also has a large number of various local television stations, both wired and wireless.

Smith Media can completely cover its own signal network nationwide through acquisitions and mergers and acquisitions, and increase ratings.

It's just that it takes time, and it costs more when the Big Four are close to monopolistic markets.

This is also the reason why Abel wanted to buy N TV directly once and for all.

If you can take n directly, it can save Abel a lot of time.

Now that the difficulty is here, Abel already has an idea for that.

After thinking about it, Abel said to Sullivenston, "Forget it. Not the right one tonight, I'll talk to Jeff Immelt later. But not now."

Sullivenston nodded indifferently, he came over just to give Abel a hint.

Whoever called Abel seems to be very obsessed with his media empire.

….

At this time, Buffett said, "I personally think that you are in the media, there is no need to focus on investment so much. You can diversify your investments and become the majority shareholder of all media groups."

Abel knew what Buffett meant.

Warren Buffett is saying that if Abel really wants to be a media boss.

Abel doesn't have to go down in person.

It is possible to indirectly influence and control these media by taking shares, such as holding a large number of shares in companies such as News Corp., and by becoming a major shareholder in these companies.

Like Warren Buffett himself

That's it. The stock god has a large number of shares in the major media groups in the United States.

In this way, these media groups, when it comes to Buffett's reports, as long as they do not involve the media group's own interests, will be very cautious.

Warren Buffett also indirectly controls and influences public opinion against himself through this method.

Many American tycoons do this, and this is actually the easiest way to do it.

However, many of what Abel wants to do later will involve the self-interests of these media groups.

For example, in the future, Abel wants to push Alexander to power, no matter whether Alexander is a donkey or an elephant at that time.

Alexander's rivals will definitely attack Alexander with their own faction of media groups.

In cases where this degree of self-interest is involved.

If you are just an ordinary major shareholder, it is difficult to influence the position of the media group.

There are so many media groups in the United States, but only News Corp. has always supported him from beginning to end.

The others are either neutral and donkey-leaning, or simply staunchly donkey-minded.

For the first time, Ga was able to come to power, and a large part of the reason was that Xi Po relaxed his vigilance at that time.

The old witch looked down on ga a little at the time, and was stolen by the red neck at the last moment.

If Xi Po had waited for the battle and had been on the Yin Soldiers at that time, Felabukon's red neck would definitely not have been able to win.

Abel doesn't want his dad to have this situation when he comes out to choose.

Because even News Corp.,Later, it began to part ways with GA.。

The so-called allies are only not enough in the interests of betrayal.

Therefore, Abel is still determined to hold his own media group.

Only what is in your own hands can you really be reliable.

That's why he doesn't want to be like Warren Buffett, who can only influence, not completely control.

"I know what you think." Abel smiled and said:

"But Warren, I'm so young. If I don't let my energy out, then Wall Street will suffer. Wall Street suffered, and so could I. So I've got to pick something fun to distract some of my energy, you know."

Buffett listened to it and actually felt that Abel's words were very reasonable.

However, the god thought crookedly, he thought that Abel was referring to venting his experience on the good girls in Hollywood.

"Hmph, I'm too lazy to care about you. As long as you can make Smith Capital money!" Buffett muttered.

"Hey, here. Oh, Warren and Sully, too." Someone else joined the clique.

Abel looked up and saw that it was little Laura's father.

But Neil didn't come alone, he brought with him an acquaintance of Abel's, Davis Brown.

….

Davis Brown is an old man in his seventies, about the same age as Warren Buffett.

Seeing Neil and Davis Brown appear, Sullivenston and Buffett glanced at each other.

The god whispered, "Hey, yes, Neil. Looks like you're going to talk about something about Texas. We'll go first."

Neil Bush and Davis Brown both laughed and didn't say a word.

Sullivenston greeted his wife directly and left with the Buffetts.

Suddenly there were only a few Texans left.

Abel smiled and shook hands with Davis Brown, "Hello, Mr. Brown, it's a pleasure to see you again."

"Me too." Davis Brown smiled happily and shook Alexander's hand.

After the greetings, Abel looked at his father-in-law.

Neil Bush whispered, "Davis wants to talk to you about Smith Capital. George found out, so he asked me to bring it here."

Abel smiled and nodded, and he looked at Davis Brown.

The identity of this old man is not simple, he is the founder of the Texas consortium and the family

One of the families behind the scenes.

As one of the top ten consortia in the United States, it is the youngest and weakest conglomerate.

The power within the Texas consortium is very decentralized, unlike the Rockphiles for the Rockphiles, not for the Morguns for the Wagon consortium, not for the DuPont family for the General Motors.

It is estimated that there is no real dominant family, coupled with the fact that the financial aspect is very weak.

will make the Texas consortium, one of the representatives of the military-industrial complex, the bottom of the top ten consortiums.

Last year, Abel was not yet in the ascendancy.

The Texas consortium launched an investigation into him.

Abel was still a little happy at the time, thinking that he could finally hug his thighs.

However, the investigation of the Texas consortium is really just an investigation

After the inspection, the offer they gave made Abel very dissatisfied.

Later, after Abel grew up a little, the offer he gave made the Texas consortium even more dissatisfied.

The two sides did not end up together.

The shrub, who existed as an intermediary at the time, instead walked with the Smith family.

Now, a year later, Davis Brown's door is coming to the door again.

Abel didn't know if it was the meaning of the Texas consortium.

But now, with the support of shrubs in the right governance.

With Smith Capital as the center, it has also united a group of capital.

Although it can't be called a consortium yet, Abel is no longer like last year, desperately looking for a thigh hug.

Abel himself is now a good thigh.

At this moment, looking at Abel who was standing with little Laura in high spirits.

Davis Brown regretted it somewhat.

regretted that when Abel was still very weak, the Texas consortium gave Abel a "helping hand".

I regret not having sooner and brought Abel over to the side of the Texas consortium.

As Abel grows up, the Texas consortium feels more and more that Abel is actually the most suitable new member for Texas.

The reason is simple.

It has already been said before.

Because of historical factors, the financial strength of the Texas consortium is the weakest among the top ten consortiums in the United States.

….

Financial strength is weak, when the dollar tide is launched in the United States, looting around the world.

The Texas consortium will gain much less than other consortiums.

Over time, even if it has the most powerful military industrial strength, it gradually becomes a white worker.

If you work for a long time, everyone will have resentment. Not to mention one of the leaders in the powerful military-industrial complex.

In a parallel time and space without Abel.

Probably because of this.

After putting George on the stage, these guys went crazy one by two.

A coffee cup worth thousands of dollars, a toilet bowl worth tens of thousands of dollars, and an imported goat that costs millions of dollars is eating like crazy

The Texas consortium, which is not financially profitable, is happy in this regard.

But the trillions of dollars in military spending have also dragged the United States, which is at its most powerful, into the abyss.

Financial capital can find opportunities to change jobs and find new hosts, and high-tech capital and energy capital can also have opportunities to escape.

The military-industrial complex that lives and dies with the United States, that is really going to die together.

Now in 2001, the Texas consortium has yet to taste the taste of a coffee cup for a few thousand dollars.

At this time, they still want to complete their financial sector.

Smith Capital, which is getting stronger and stronger, has finally been officially put in front of everyone.

After a long discussion, Davis Brown came to Abel.

Davis Brown looked around and saw that it was all Abel's own people.

The old man spoke softly, "Dallas First Country. Minyin

Row, Houston First City State. People's Bank of China, Dallas Communal. and the country. Minbank and the Commercial Bank of Texas."

"They each have a 33% stake. Plus 5% for Hughes Aircraft, 15% for Texas Instruments, 5% for Tannic, and 5% for the company."

"In exchange for 40% of Smith Capital and 49% of Pacific Commercial Bank."

"In addition, Smith Media, Pacific Energy, we will invest in cash, and the price will be based on the latest market value."

Davis Brown looked at Abel as if he wanted to take a closer look at Abel's expression.

"This is our latest offer."

"Also, after the deal is concluded. We will support you in restructuring these four banks, as well as three other insurance companies."

"As long as you agree." Davis Brown whispered, "A new, huge financial conglomerate will appear in your hands. It will not be much worse than Mellon and Phu Quoc!"

Davis Brown's persuasive voice moved Neil Bush, who listened to his condition.

At this time, Abel's father-in-law wished that he could replace him and get this level of attention from the Texas consortium.

Neil, who has been doing business in Texas for many years, knows it well.

Once Abel agrees to these conditions, Abel will immediately become one of the core figures within the Texas consortium.

Or the most important ones!

Honestly, Neil wanted to agree for Abel.

Because the bush family didn't expect that the Texas consortium would be so willing to spend a lot of money this time.

In fact, even Abel didn't expect them to be so willing this time.

If only last year, Abel had been given these conditions.

Abel felt that he must have done it right away.

….

Then he will definitely start to lead the Texas consortium and strive to become the leader of the consortium in the shortest possible time.

But that was a year ago.

At that time, Abel had not yet had a showdown with Wall Street.

At that time, Abel had not yet begun to set up his own door.

Now, now he himself has become a representative of certain forces.

Warren Buffett, Bloomberg, Sullivenston, Robert Morgenthau, a handful of Wall Street giants

Smith Capital, Pacific Commercial Bank, Pacific Energy, Smith Media

These giants and the companies behind these giants, as well as these companies under Abel's own hands.

Combined, they are already in this country, and they can be regarded as a prince.

If you count the bush and Abel's current influence on the United States, Abel himself already feels that he is not much worse than the bottom of the Texas consortium.

At most, it is not comparable in some aspects of heritage and depth.

After all, the Texas consortium has been around for more than a hundred years, and some of the families and businesses in the consortium can be traced back to the Civil War.

But Abel felt that he would give himself another ten years.

I will definitely be able to do better than the Texas consortium.

Case

Of course, Abel will not think about joining any consortium anymore.

Not to mention the Texas consortium at the bottom.

Even if it's the Mahogon and Rockphil, or California and the First Citi consortium.

He won't be tempted.

His weakness has passed.

Now, Smith is a consortium in his own right.

Abel took a deep breath, and then he spit out softly.

"Whew~"

Then his face showed the "Apollo smile" that Anna Wintour, the editor-in-chief of Vogue magazine in the United States, had been frantically touting for some time now.

"Dear Mr. Brown, dear Davis. I'm glad that you and your friends value these businesses and companies so much."

Abel laughed and said, "But I'm sorry, they're not just my company anymore. They all have their own shareholders. If you want to take a stake, I need to convene a general meeting of shareholders and get their consent before I can accept your share."

Davis Brown's face quickly sank.

That's right, Smith Capital is indeed no longer Abel's sole proprietorship.

This is something that many people in the upper class of the United States know.

Bush, Warren Buffett, P, and Bloomberg, plus a Smith.

Smith Capital now has five shareholders, with half a Mellon. Davis Brown knew about it.

But Davis Brown also knows that although Smith Capital now has so many shareholders.

But whether it is in terms of share proportion or the right to speak, Smith Capital or Abel have the final say.

Including accepting other people's shares, Abel can also say a word.

Abel said so now, and Davis Brown knew that this guy was rejecting himself.

To be honest, including Davis Brown, these people in power in the Texas consortium really didn't think that Abel would directly refuse.

At most, they just thought that Able might bargain for more benefits.

Now Abel has directly refused.

Davis Brown couldn't help but ask, "Why? Mr. Smith, you weren't like that last year."

"Last year's me was last year's me, and this year's me is this year's me." Abel smiled at him:

"Three hundred years ago, it was even a wild land, there was no America, no Americans, nothing."

"Two hundred years ago, the United States appeared, but it was only a weak country in the corner of the world, and no one would pay attention to it."

"A hundred years ago. At a time when the European powers are tense, the United States is just a forgotten New World country."

"What about a hundred years from now? Now that the Red Bear has collapsed, we are already the most powerful country in the world."

"I went to New York in October 1999. It's October 2001."

"It's been exactly two years."

"In two years, I already have the status, wealth and influence that I have now. So. Give me two years, five years, even ten years, twenty years?"

Abel was under the watchful eye of Davis Brown, as well as his own relatives.

He said in a soft voice, "From now on, Mr. Brown. I am the consortium. I don't need to take refuge with anyone, I hope you understand."
