American Fortune Life
Chapter 890 Ultimatum Game
Rupert Murdoch breathed more and more white air in his mouth, and wrinkles on his face became more tangled, his eyes glistening, standing and his face staring at Andy Smith with a faint smile.
“A lot of people have hatred and fear for me, mainly because I never show weakness, son. Do you want to start a war? ”
“Ha ha... Don't get me wrong, Rupert, how could I want to make a conflict with you, knowing that my Ivana and your wife are good friends, that my think tank has evaluated my personality, including, of course, a lot of potential partners who have done it, and I didn't think we both had a lot in common... ”
Murdoch opened his half-crushed eyelids and looked cold at Andy, waiting for the young man's next sentence.
“are the kind of extreme profiteers who can see the wind as rudder utilitarians for the benefit of... ”
Hearing Andy's words, looking at his handsome young face with a deep smile, Murdoch took a deep breath, the cold air into his lungs, pressed him down in anger, stepped out, and kept walking forward, whispering coldly: "Go ahead, what do you want? ”
“No, no, Rupert, don't get me wrong, I'm not such a despicable little man. I like winning for nothing. I like winning together, doing business. It's profitable for everyone. Hello. ”
Looking at Andy Smith's face filled with sunshine and a brilliant smile, he couldn't help but think of his two disappointing sons and sigh, the gap!
The kid was so brazen to trade this scandal with a scandal, and bargaining because of unequal value really came to the point where it was extremely profitable.
“Seriously, kid, though I felt like I overestimated you before, today it made me understand that I underestimated your shame! I don't want to know what you're into now. I don't think I care much about it, but it's very valuable to you. Am I right? ”
Andy wasn't offended at all by Murdoch's ridicule, his smile was still bright, and he was very intimate when he walked through a snow heap, holding onto the old man and smiling softly.
“MySpace, once a fiery social jiao site, the news group has squeezed out its value, and now with Facebook, this younger, more JI thirsty, more intelligent adversary, stays in hand, and it's nothing more than constant layoffs, losses, until you completely exit the market, besides, aren't you looking for potential buyers? ”
“Ha ha... Andy, are you kidding me? My MySpace is expanding globally, and this year's projected revenue will reach $700 million, and you say it will exit the market? How much are you worth till now? ”
Andy flipped a white eye and a mockery appeared in the corner of his mouth: "Rupert, don't be ridiculous. Do you really think that the valuation you called out with Yahoo about the potential equity swap agreement is a real value? Forget the others, even Yahoo won't sign this agreement.
Since the parent company of the news group didn't even ask the opinion of the founding team of MySpace, and signed the $900 million search with Google, the advertising contract started, MySpace started going downhill. Last year you guys piled up the market for a year, so what, isn't it still a loss? Monthly traffic is still 76 million, and Facebook, do you know what it is now? 54 million!
Now I'm willing to bid you $100 million to take over, and I can keep fulfilling your contract with Google, okay? ”
“Impossible!” Murdoch refused directly, although he didn't have time to run this Jiao website, but he also knew that last year was the peak of the club, and that advertising profitability was impressive, especially since all kinds of movie publicity were very effective, definitely a good platform for publicity, how could he possibly sell 100 million to Andy Smith?
“Believe me, Rupert, you will regret this refusal today. Don't say 100 million, or 50 million won't be taken over! ”
Andy shook his head a bit sadly and sighed that he thought he could cheaply get to MySpace, and if he did it right, he might be able to take advantage of the pioneers in the JIAO market and split the autumn color with Facebook, but it doesn't seem like much of a play.
And the MySpace website will continue to get caught up in civil strife, chaotic management, losing its spirit and slowly sinking until Facebook compresses its market share and goes down.
“Well, maybe one day in the future, but never now, is it? Tell me what you really want. I'm a little tired of walking!” Murdoch stood calmly, smiling and looking straight at Andy,
“Well, since the first proposal was rejected, my second proposal, I hope you don't reject me again.” Andy laid his hands in his coat pocket and said.
“Eight local TV stations in Cleveland, Denver, St. Louis, Kansas City, Milwaukee, Salt Lake City, Birmingham, Memphis, I want all $800 million! ”
“FXXK! You're robbing!” Murdoch's face went straight dark, his eyelids jumped straight, his expression became a little obnoxious, and he didn't care if he still maintained his style or not, direct dirty words exited.
“I know you're negotiating deals with a private investment firm for nine television stations, currently pulling saws at about 1.2 billion, but I think I'm offering a better price, and you're going to say yes, aren't you?
Either $800 million or $1.1 billion will help you focus on the business opportunities you pioneered earlier after you bought Dow Jones for $5.2 billion and use the Wall Street Journal brand to attract TV and network traffic. We win, Rupert, don't reject me! ”
“Never! Don't you dare threaten me, you're a blackmail, shameless blackmail, I refuse, if you want $1 billion is my biggest concession! I'm not going to be pinched by you... ”
“Rupert, believe me, I'm sincere, 800 million dollars, and there's only so much that nobody wants things to go out of control, and I think the gift I gave you is enough to make up for the difference. ”
“Shet! No one can threaten me, no one! If you think this is gonna make me confess, it's a dream! ”
Andy still looked at his teeth with a smile, his eyes filled with angry cold stares, cursing the back of his old man's drum turning away, he couldn't help but skip his mouth and wave his hand away, the car quickly parked in front of him, bent over and sat in the car.
“Talking broke? ”
Andy smiled and looked at Li Xiaoying's powdery face and said: “Almost succeeded, the old man was choking enough, but he had no choice but to bet on the killing power of the evidence in my hand and my killing boost! ”
“What did you blackmail?” Li Xiaoying was slightly hairy by a pair of luminous wolf eyes, unnaturally moved to the other side, and the quick interrogation distracted the little bastard in front of him.
“Fair deal, $800 million for his eight TV stations... Emily, what kind of chun cream do you want me to try? ”
“Fuck off! You think you're Jia Baoyu! ”
Li Xiaoying's delicate hand directly pushed open the big face, scowling, watching Andy stop fooling around, which said: “With these eight stations, AMC's cable network can almost be set up? ”
“Well, with 52 local TV stations, there are already 60, although it is not possible to set up a wireless TV network, the cable network is no longer a problem, AMC is finally no longer just a cable channel! ”
Andy has a great ambition to build a television network and increase influence and voice in the media. Just a channel that plays old movies, a few classic TV shows, simply doesn't satisfy Andy's ambition.
Back at the hotel, someone quickly sent Andy a file bag, and Andy didn't let anyone come home empty-handed. He also found a file bag, threw a flash drive inside and handed it over to the other person.
Grabbing the file bag, Andy walked into the office area with a curiosity, sat on the boss's chair, opened the file bag, and pulled out the photos and two files.
“Cut!”
Before he first didn't see it, Andy thought there was something powerful about it, worried that several of his women had been exposed, and when he saw the photo, he had to cut it off, turns out it was the last time he and Ivana messed around in the living room and had some clearer angles taken by Tou.
“Tsk, a little miss Ivana's zui... ”
Andy looked at Ivana sitting on the carpet in the picture, showering her own little Andy on the couch, and he couldn't help but start thinking about it.
Well, if these pictures are posted, it's really troublesome, in the age of the Internet, that the speed of communication spreads all over the world, and is often taken out to disgust yourself and Ivana.
To think of it, Andy reached into the file bag and looked for it. He actually touched a memory card, and he wasn't afraid of Murdoch's old fox playing backup with him.
Picking up those two documents, Andy's pupils shrunk, a copy of the Australian estate's two-time contract to change owners, and even if Andy bought the estate in the name of an offshore company and eventually transferred it to Charlize Theron, he still couldn't resist heartfelt exploration.
Take out the memory card, Andy finds a card reader, turns on the laptop, plugs it in and starts viewing the content.
Two folders, one for him and Ivana, and the other for a look, are all blurry photos of Cesar taken by TOU, but the shape of the pregnancy, the tummy raised, is very clear to see.
Fortunately, there was no photo of him and César together, but the old fox gave it directly to him, telling him that the old fox had confirmed that the child in César's belly belonged to him, Andy Smith.
Andy looked at those two copies of the estate's change of title and couldn't help but laugh.
