Mr. Morgan obviously did not expect that the company Fang Lang was talking about turned out to be this laboratory.

Regardless of whether the company has potential in Morgan's eyes, he has to show strong confidence in the company at this time.

"Mr. Fang, your eyes are really vicious. This is AT&T's most important asset.

But this company is not a profitable company, are you sure you want to exchange it for shares?

If you own a stake in the company, it means that you will have to bear the same proportion of the company's R&D expenses. ”

As soon as he heard this, Fang Lang still didn't understand what Morgan meant, and it seemed that Morgan did not rule out using the shares of this company to exchange with Fang Lang. Clearly, the Morgan family has not yet discovered the greatness of this company.

Once you become a shareholder, it means that the company's more than 20,000 scientists can be used for your own use.

It is home to eight Nobel laureates and five Nobel Prize nominees.

"It's okay to bear the cost of research, as long as I have the life of all the results of the laboratory and the same proportion of patent income."

This kind of requirement must be deserved, after all, shareholders must automatically obtain investment returns!

Morgan had no reason to refuse, but Morgan was obviously not particularly familiar with the company, and the negotiations could not have been successful in the first place.

Since Fang Lang is willing to exchange his company's shares, Morgan can be regarded as getting the investment opportunity he wants.

Of course, there is certainly no way to compare the benefits with going public.

"Mr. Fang, since this is the case, I will take your plan to the company's board of directors tomorrow for discussion, and the specific results will wait for the results of the board of directors' discussion."

"Mr. Morgan, I'm waiting for good news!"

In this way, both parties have achieved the main purpose of meeting, and the rest needs to be organized by a professional team to conduct specific negotiations.

The group company is responsible for these matters with professional legal and investment personnel, and there is no need for the two big bosses to come forward in person.

Fang Lang's expectations for the proportion of shares in Bell Labs are not high, and in his opinion, it is already the peak to get 20%.

The biggest is likely to be in the single digits.

However, he will also inform the company's negotiation team that he must not sell more than 20 percent of the shares of Global Shipbuilding.

Wall Street wolves like the Morgan family could be kicked out at any time as long as the proportion of shares in their hands decreased.

When Fang Lang took Berg to the car, Berg finally couldn't help but express the doubts in his heart.

"Boss, why don't you go public and raise funds directly? Instead, you have to exchange shares with a laboratory that has no income at all, isn't this a loss? ”

"Looks like you haven't heard of this Bell Labs, have you?"

"Is he famous?"

"No, he's just in his early teens now, and he's not well-known outside. However, he has great prestige in the scientific community. ”

"And how did you find out about this company?"

Of course, Fang Lang couldn't tell him that he knew it from the afterlife!

Smiled and said:

"Because I'm now in the process of introducing a broadcast system, and that's what came out of this lab. That's why I heard his name. ”

"Oh? Are you going to set up a TV station in Brazil? ”

Berg is the assistant to the chairman of the global group, and knows that Fang Lang also has a Fangyuan group in Brazil, but he does not know the specific business scope of Fangyuan Group.

Therefore, I was very surprised to hear that Fang Lang was going to set up a TV station in Brazil.

In fact, the United States had officially started television broadcasting in June 1941, but the outbreak of World War II caused the development of television broadcasting to be frozen.

When the war ended, it re-entered a period of rapid development, of course, the TV at this time was still black and white.

Color television did not enter the market until 1950.

"That's right! The equipment is about to be shipped to Brazil, what's wrong? ”

"This. Boss, I don't know if this TV station of yours needs manpower! ”

Originally, he was just looking for a reason to tell Berg that he knew the reason for Bell Labs, but he didn't expect Berg to ask such a question.

"Why, our Miss Berg, I want to change careers to become a broadcast host!"

At this time, many places in the United States actually already had television sets, and television, like movies, also cultivated some star effects.

So Fang Lang's first reaction when he heard Berg's question was that Berg wanted to be a TV star.

As a result, Berg waved his hand again and again:

"No, no, it's an uncle of mine, he's been an editor-in-chief at NBC for a few years now, and some time ago I heard that he wanted to come out and start a new station.

However, no investment was found, so I wanted to ask him if you needed staff for your TV station. ”

There are only a few TV stations in the United States now, so the personnel who understand the operation of TV stations are indeed very scarce and belong to scarce talents.

Fang Lang's original plan was to merge the new TV station with his own Brazil Times to form a news media company.

I'm worried about where to find the right talent! Unexpectedly, my little assistant mentioned this matter today.

"Oh! Of course, I am very much in need of manpower, but this TV station is in Brazil, which is a Portuguese-speaking country, is your uncle willing to go to Brazil to work? ”

"Really? That was so nice that I called him when I got back and asked if he was interested. ”

Seeing Berg's happy appearance, he knew that the relationship between this uncle and their family was still very close.

"If he's interested, you can make an appointment with him in the next two days, I'm going to England soon. So, you'd better be faster. ”

"Mm-hmm, I'll give you an answer early tomorrow morning."

The effect of the crooked topic is that Berg no longer remembers asking Fang Lang about why he wanted to exchange shares with Morgan.

The next afternoon, Fang Lang met the uncle that Berg was talking about.

He didn't look very old, less than forty years old at most, tall and thin, with a pair of eyes, and looked polite.

The scholarly temperament is very heavy.

Berg introduced both sides and exited the office.

"Mr. Anderson, Berg and I said that you are the editor-in-chief of NBC, why would you want to come out and build your own television station?"

Fang Lang looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and said directly.

It's not the first time Anderson has met with investors, but all of them refused to invest in him after hearing about his ideas.

Berg, on the other hand, was a child of his neighbor's family, and he had a good relationship with them, and they both knew that they had already come up with the idea of setting up a television station on their own.

So, early this morning, before he went out to work, he was blocked at home by Berg, telling him that his boss was going to build a TV station in Brazil.

I happen to be a Portuguese speaking professional, and I have long wanted to set up a TV station, so I asked if I was interested in talking to his boss.

Originally, Anderson refused, but his wife took the initiative to stand up and show her support for him.

It was only then that he mustered up the courage to make one last attempt.

"How so? Actually, the main reason is that I want to find a stage where I can express my ideas. ”

"Can you tell me what you think of the TV station?"

When he heard Fang Lang's thoughts about the TV station, Fang Lang hesitated.

Because, his way of thinking is not accepted by the world, and every time he says his idea of building a platform, the conversation will reach an impasse.

But he thought about it for a while, gritted his teeth and chose to tell the truth.

And said to myself in my heart that this is the last time, and if it still doesn't work, I can only give up this unrealistic fantasy.

"Of course, all TV channels are paid channels nowadays, and I think this is very detrimental to the promotion of TV.

My idea is to quickly promote my TV station for free, expand the audience, and make TV broadcasting accessible to everyone.

However, all the investors think that I am crazy, free channels, no one wants to invest if there is no income.

I also found a TV manufacturer, but no one wanted to invest in my project. They don't think they're the only ones who make TV.

Even if my TV station can increase the number of customers who buy TV sets, it will not necessarily buy the brands they produce. So, until now I haven't found a businessman willing to invest in me. ”

After saying this, Anderson was ready to be rejected.

After all, every time he says this to investors, everyone looks at him like a fool.

If you think about it, you can understand that after all, no one wants to continue to invest money in a project that will not generate income.

Looking at Anderson's somewhat depressed expression, obviously not having much confidence, Fang Lang understood.

The other party must have been rejected too many times and has already had the idea of giving up.

Smiling, Fang Lang continued to ask:

"So how is Mr. Anderson going to make this station profitable?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Fang, I have also thought of many ways and contacted many TV manufacturers.

However, the results were not ideal, and everyone refused to pay for my crazy idea. ”

Anderson understood that today's conversation was about to end, and just as he was about to take the initiative to end this conversation, he heard the other party continue to ask.

"You know a lot about the operations of the TV station, don't you?"

"Yes, I was part of the formation of NBC, switched from radio to TV projects, and knew a lot about the entire TV operation."

"Would you like to work in Brazil? Build a TV station from scratch again. ”

Fang Lang's question made Anderson stunned, what does it mean, does this agree with his own thoughts?

Some incredulously raised his head and looked at Fang Langdao:

"Mr. Fang Fang, are you willing to invest for me?"

Smiling, Fang Lang did not answer Anderson's question:

"You answer my question first."

"Yes, Mr. Fang, if you are willing to invest in me, of course I am willing to go to Brazil to work."

"So can you assemble a start-up team in the U.S. and take it directly to Brazil?"

"If we can guarantee that wages are higher than those in the United States, I don't think there is any problem."

"What do you think is the most important program of the TV station, or what kind of TV station do you want to build?"
