Chapter 192 Acquisition of WB Television Network

May 26.

UPN Television Network.

At 9 o'clock this morning, as the chairman of the Golden Dawn Entertainment Group, Zhu Ke and the representatives of Time Warner and Columbia, the owners of the WB Television Network, formally discussed the matter of UPN Television Network’s comprehensive acquisition of WB Television Network under the witness of a group of media. Sign the sale contract.

In other words, starting today, Jin Shuguang Entertainment Group will have two TV networks.

They are UPN TV Network and WE TV Network!

UPN TV network, focusing on limited TV network (user paid subscription);

Its future development goal will be to benchmark HBO TV network and make every effort to create high-cost, high-quality quality TV series and movies.

And will cancel the advertisement, in order to obtain more user subscriptions, a better user experience.

WB Television Network, which focuses on public television networks (similar to the major television stations of the Great Tian Dynasty);

After the acquisition of WB Television Network, the variety shows originally owned by UPN Television Network, including "God Talent Show", "WWE Wrestling Entertainment" and other programs, will be moved to WE, the public television network.

A clear classification of programs will enable the two TV networks under the Golden Shuguang Entertainment Group to have more

Professionalism, but also has a stronger competitiveness!

From today, Golden Dawn Entertainment Group, which owns two TV networks, UPN and WB, is enough to rank in the top ten of American TV networks.

The reporters from various media in the audience pressed the shutter frantically, trying to grab the headlines.

"The villain is determined!"

"Jenkford, how do you think about it?"

"The WB television network jointly owned by our Time Warner Group and Columbia Group has been established only two years ago. Although it is not comparable to the ABC and NBC television networks at present, the development momentum is not bad. Why should we sell it?"

"Besides, it was sold to the hateful Zucker Wald?!"

Among the crowd in the audience, a man was filled with righteous indignation.

Full of anger!

His name is Sealed Air Lawson, a middle-level manager of Time Warner Group, and he is a staunch anti-Zhu sect in Warner Group.You must know that last year's "God Talent Show" program turned out, but it robbed a lot of viewership share, making Sealed Air Lawson's prize money, which was half less than in previous years.

Therefore, Sealed Air Lawson hates Zhuke!

"I agree with you, Lawson!"

Jankford, who is also a member of Time Warner Group, is also indignant at this moment: "In the past two years, for the development of the WB TV network, the group has erected dozens of signal towers on the east coast, west coast and central regions. It cost more than 200 million US dollars! Shareholders of the board of directors of the group, now they say they are sold and they are sold. Let us below have no reaction time."

Sealed Air Lawson and Jenkford of Warner Group are unhappy!

In fact, many people throughout the Time Warner Group were dissatisfied with the decision of the group's board of directors, especially the executives of the subsidiary Warner Pictures.

The whole Hollywood knows that there is a lot of mess between Warner Pictures and Wald Pictures!

The two sides do not say that it is an endless relationship between enemies, but they are definitely not friends!

Under this circumstance, no one expected that Time Warner Group, as the parent company, would sell its WB television network to Wald Pictures’ parent company, Golden Dawn Entertainment Group.

The day before signing the contract.

Kevin Fitch, the vice president of Wald Pictures, asked Zhuke: "Boss, how did you do it?"

The newly appointed President of Wald Pictures, Bill McNick, also asked curiously: "It stands to reason that Warner Group and Columbia Group are both powerful and wealthy. They will never lack your money. Sold the WB TV network, which took two years of hard work to build."

Hehe~

"What if I am willing to sell ICQ shares to them?" Zhu Ke asked rhetorically.

"Boss, if what you said is true, then they might really let go." Kevin Fitch said surely.

"Isn't it just that?" Bill McNick wondered.

Zhuke smiled and said, "What about the ICQ shares in the hands of Amazon President Jeff Bezos?"

Damn it!

For a while, both Bill and Kevin were shocked and stopped talking.

Zhu Ke sent a special person to discuss with Time Warner Group for the first time regarding the acquisition of WB Television Network. They immediately refused.

Well, the kind without hesitation.

There are even shareholders of Time Warner who sneered, thinking that Zhu Ke was whimsical!

but!

When Zhu Ke's representatives offered to sell their ICQ shares and Bei Guangtou's hands, they couldn't calm down.

People throughout the United States know that Time Warner Group is interested in doing something on the Internet. They have invested in 7 or 8 Internet companies, but the results are not very good.

Otherwise, they will not merge with AOL, one of the Internet hegemons, around 2000.

What are they for?

Isn't it just eyeing the high income and high market value of the Internet!

Nowadays, Zhuke almost hands them delicious cakes. How can they refuse?In addition, they also contacted Sony Columbia to sell their shares in WB to Zhuke.

When Colombian shareholders heard about this, they were not calm on the spot.

"Murdoch's News Corp. owns the shares of ICQ, so we must also take it. Otherwise, doesn't it mean that we are lower than 20th Century Fox?"

A shareholder of Sony Columbia clapped his hands in favor of the matter on the spot.

Ever since, Zhuke easily and happily won the WB TV network and completed an unimaginable transaction!

"Boss, that is the ICQ that is so powerful now, you are really willing to give up!"

Kevin Fitch couldn't help but feel distressed for Zhuke.

WB Television Network is good. Since its establishment two years ago, it has built a public television network covering the entire United States, a new force in the public television field.

But compared with ICQ, it's really far worse!

ICQ is currently in the world, with as many as 200 million users, like a monster!

In the current Internet boom, many people want ICQ to be unavailable. However, Zhu Ke sold the shares, which is totally unimaginable.

"Ha ha!"

Of course Zhuke would not tell them that the Internet bubble is not far away!

In addition, whether it is Zhu Ke or Bei Bald, originally intended to gradually release the shares of ICQ, now that they can sell, and can exchange for the WB TV network they need, why not do it?

.......

In the morning, after finalizing the acquisition contract of WB Public Television Network;

In the afternoon, Ms. Donna Langlei, on behalf of the "Talent Show" program group, formally signed an advertising contract for the "Talent Show" program with cooperating merchants who have already reached an intention to implant advertising.

The total advertising contract price is as high as 180 million US dollars!

Compared with the advertising cost of the first season of last year's show of 120 million US dollars, it is a full 60 million US dollars higher!

The reason why it is higher than 60 million US dollars is because of the popularity of "Talent Show", but also because of the WB public television network as a new broadcasting platform.

After all, the advantage of public television networks in winning household ratings is not something that cable television networks can match.

In the evening of the same day, major American media reported this series of news under the headline "Zuke Wald, the new emperor of television."

The second update of "" was sent, and the minister continued to open the third update to make up for what was owed yesterday.
