Chapter 139: Murdoch's Signal

Murdoch's private jet landed in Bangkok on a temporary basis, stayed overnight and then left. ”

When Huo Dongjun came out of his master bedroom in the morning, he saw that the news on the TV was playing such a news.

The host's words made Huo Dongjun stop his movements, his eyes staring at the TV, the host was excitedly saying that the stock prices of various listed media groups in Thailand had risen as a result, and Murdoch did not fly directly from Sydney to London, but temporarily landed in Bangkok, which was interpreted by the host as Murdoch is optimistic about Thailand's media market and seeks the opportunity to acquire Thai media.

After reading this piece of news, Huo Dongjun shook his head with a smile, he can be regarded as having seen the level of a Thai news host, a world-class media tycoon, staring at Thailand, is really not a good thing for Thailand, but it seems that except for the bosses of those media groups or newspaper companies, everyone is elated, and it seems that it will be a great thing for Thailand to have a world tycoon like Murdoch pay attention to Thailand.

Recently, Huo Dongjun has been paying attention to the news of the digitization of satellite TV, and naturally he has heard the name Rupert Murdoch, and anyone who pays attention to satellite TV cannot ignore this media king who has built a small tabloid into the world's third largest media group in 20 years.

"Stay overnight, stay overnight. Huo Dongjun sat on the sofa and poured a glass of water, leaned his head on the back of the sofa and muttered the host's words.

Murdoch should be in the United States, neither Fox Film nor Fox Television Network is not profitable at this time, and Fox's annual losses of hundreds of millions of dollars have made Murdoch focus most of his work in the United States, trying to prepare for the revival of this old company.

He flew from his hometown in Sydney to London and stayed overnight in Bangkok, was he going to try Tom Yum Gong soup?

After thinking about it for a while, Huo Dongjun called Dongtian Investment in Hong Kong and asked the company's staff to help him check the news about Murdoch and Fox in recent business magazines and newspapers.

A few minutes later, the phone called, and after listening to the staff's words, Huo Dongjun took a sip of the water cup slowly, stared at the TV and said to himself: "That guy is not optimistic about the Thai market, but News Corp has conquered all regions except Africa and Asia." ”

The business magazine in Hong Kong said that the revenue of the American Fox Film Company as of April had increased by 3% compared with last year, that is, in 1987, exceeding last year's revenue, reaching $135.6 million, this figure told the world, from 198 to 192, Fox Film Company, which burned nearly $500 million of Murdoch, finally began to make a profit in the real sense, and in 87 years, it burned $125 million in one year, and also with "The Simpsons" In one fell swoop, the ratings surpassed the three traditional TV networks to rank high, and the advertising revenue has reached $70 million in a single quarter.

got the numbers that Hong Kong helped him find, and Huo Dongjun now knows very well why this prehistoric monster that can no longer be called a predator came to Bangkok

In Australia, Murdoch's company has a 70 percent share of the newspaper market, as well as a stake in Australia's national television station, and in Europe, News Corp. has 3 million satellite TV subscribers, including the entire Western European market, and this behemoth also owns more than 120 newspapers and magazines around the world, with a circulation of more than 50 million copies a week.

Now, even the most difficult to expand in the Americas has been conquered by Murdoch, and there are only two territories left on the world map, backward Africa and now Huo Dongjun, where half of the world's population is located, and Asia, which is rapidly developing, has a billion potential satellite TV subscribers, and can only be regarded as truly ruling the earth by occupying Asia.

"Sir...... Good morning. Huo Dongjun leaned on the sofa and thought about the news of Murdoch's temporary flight to Bangkok, the door of the bathroom was gently opened from the inside, Linla Pitana changed into the dress with some stains, and was walking out of it, seeing Huo Dongjun in the living room, standing at the door of the bathroom in fright, a little overwhelmed

When he saw the other party, Huo Dongjun remembered that he now had a small gift: "Good morning, Linla, your clothes are OK, first prepare for breakfast, and then ask someone to take you to buy clothes, you still look like a suffering female prisoner, what breakfast do you want to eat?"

Huo Dongjun no longer thinks about Murdoch, anyway, whether it is Murdoch or Shinawatra Telecom, if he wants to do satellite TV business in Asia or Thailand, the first thing he does is to plan to launch a real communication satellite.

However, Huo Dongjun of course hopes that Shinawatra Telecommunications will be launched, if it is Murdoch launch, then there is no fun, Thaksin may only focus on the Thai market, but Murdoch is thinking about the business of the whole world, if Murdoch launches a satellite, Huo Dongjun feels that guy will not rent the transponder to anyone.

The signal of a satellite can cover the whole of Asia, and with the first Asian communication satellite, you can take the lead in the digital discourse of satellite television in Asia.

For the first time, Huo Dongjun felt that his money was pitiful.

The launch of a satellite into space requires an investment cost of at least $120 million, not counting the expenses for the establishment of subsequent television stations.

After Linla folded her hands and greeted Huo Dongjun slightly, she said, "Thank you, sir, can you give me a glass of milk?"

Huo Dongjun handed the number of the Porter service desk: "Give me two Western-style breakfasts, warm milk, and it is best to measure the temperature when you send it up, now." ”

"I'm going to go to Shinawatra Telecom to inquire about business, you can come with me, or you can stay here, rest assured, it's safe here, as long as you don't leave this suite." After ordering breakfast, Huo Dongjun put down the phone and said to Linla.

"Thanks, if you don't mind, I can be there for you. Linla Pitana clasped her hands together and looked at Huo Dongjun gratefully and said.

She had thought about her fate countless times, and in countless fantasies, none of them would let her go instead of reselling or imprisoning her after being ravaged, and since her father was imprisoned and her entire family was imprisoned for this, Linla Pitana had already thought of the end.

Ban Phitana, her father, a member of the Siam Communist Party, a small Thai political party, has one seat in the Thai House of Representatives, and the entire Siam Communist Party occupies three seats in the House of Representatives, which is already very good for a small party of less than 5,000 people, to be the owner of one of the three seats, and her own father is also very good, except this time.

Thai politicians and business people all know that Bing Yan Sura Nuan will step down after this year's general election, and the leader of the Thai Party, Chachai Chunwang, will become Thailand's first democratically elected prime minister since l976.

The lady of the Thai heavens who returned from studying in Britain and the United States became a family member who was secretly detained overnight, in addition to the fact that her father may still have use value for those people, she and other family members are already almost like dead people, who cares about the life and death of the family members of a small party member in those military or Thai party leaders?

Even before coming here last night, the prison's secret military police threatened her that if she did not serve the young guest in front of her, her twelve-year-old brother and eleven-year-old sister, there would be many people interested in them.

Perhaps his only good fortune was to meet a gentlemanly guest, and to stay with him temporarily would be at least luckier than to be sold overseas.

Let the female waitress of the hotel take the female prisoner, who no longer has an identity, to buy a few sets of clothes, and then Huo Dongjun took the car provided by the hotel, and took Linla Pitana, who had changed into professional clothes and looked like his translator in Thailand, to the Shinawatra Telecom Company in Bangkok's Lang 1 District.

"Sir, I can help you consult with the other party in English or in Thai. After plucking up the courage in her heart for a long time, Linla Pitana said to Huo Dongjun, who was sitting in the car and reading a Chinese-language newspaper.

Huo Dongjun put down the newspaper, looked at this young woman with a childish face but was not a good person, and said: "Of course, thank you, then when you arrive, you can help me consult about Shinawatra Telecom's communication satellites, I plan to lease their satellite transponders and open a mobile phone company in Hong Kong, not planning to use analog signals, but better satellite communication signals." ”

"Sir, can I know your name?" asked Linla-Pitana, looking at Huo Dongjun, who was always calm and breezy.

"Huo Dongjun. ”

After remembering the man's name, Rinlapitana whispered, "You can call me Nia, my English name when I studied abroad." ”

After arriving at Shinawatra Telecom, Linla Pitana really acted as Huo Dongjun's secretary very well, and contacted the other party's business department, and heard that some Hong Kong guests were very interested in Shinawatra Telecom's satellites, and the business department of Shinawatra Telecommunications personally received Huo Dongjun with a smile in the company's reception room.

Although Shinawatra Telecom has won the right to operate mobile phones, the right to operate satellite communications, and other privileges, in fact, Shinawatra Telecom's mobile phone business is still using analog signal technology, because Shinawatra Telecom's funds are completely insufficient to launch satellites on its own, and as for why Shinawatra Telecom's funds will not be enough, only Mr. Thaksin and his wife know.

Since winning the concession, Shinawatra Telecom has been advertising that it will purchase and launch Asia's first real communications satellite, so that Thailand will lead the whole of Asia in the field of communication satellites, but until now, this plan is still only on paper in Shinawatra Telecom, and even the American satellite company, Shinawatra Telecom has not officially contacted.

At the beginning, Thaksin said that he was a sole proprietor to launch satellites, and he was willing to cooperate with other companies to invest in the launch of satellites, but no one was interested in this project.

The head of Shinawatra Telecom's business department feels that the time has come to attract money for Shinawatra Telecom, whether the satellite is launched in five or ten years, at least for now, if he cheats Hong Kong people out of money to come to Bangkok, his own salary can come in a large amount.
