Rebirth

"Morning, Grandpa, Uncle Wang." Early in the morning, Li Feng got up and went downstairs. He saw Uncle Wang and Grandpa Li Xinghua playing chess.

"Old lady, Xiaofeng is up now and can have breakfast." Grandpa Li Xinghua was still playing chess with Uncle Wang, and he yelled when he looked up.

"Ah, grandpa, wait a minute, I'll exercise first, it's all used to it."

Next, I went to the gym and started exercising. Naturally, it was almost 9 o'clock after one trip.

Today is Halloween. Most of the U.S. is on holiday. Unfortunately, I received a call from Bill's Weilibe yesterday, saying that Blizzard Entertainment, who was inquiring about it, had news last time and needed to discuss it.

"Grandpa, grandma, then I'm going to the company. If you are bored at home, you can take people to the street to go shopping." Li Feng said to the two elderly people.

"Go, be careful on the road, don't worry about us." The two old men said happily.

The two old people are really concerned about this grandson who suddenly appeared. I heard that today I have a day off and have to go to the company to talk about things. The old lady yelled, "What do I need to be busy on vacation, little grandson" It was so hard.

If the old lady's words are heard by the people of Li Feng's company, it is estimated that he will vomit blood. The two of them don't know that it is rare for their good grandson to go to the company. They are too lazy to play and pick up girls every day. Shopkeeper.

Saying goodbye to his family, Li Feng and his party drove out of the manor towards the company.

To be honest, Li Feng handled the sudden appearance of a pair of elderly people. In a previous life, he had been dependent on his grandfather since childhood, and it felt good to have a grandparent in this life.

......

"Zach, Bill, happy Halloween."

"BOSS, the company is on holiday today. There are not many people. Everyone can have a holiday after talking about things in the morning." Bill Weilibey replied with a smile.

"Ok, since that's the case, let's make a long story short and focus on the main point, Bill, you can tell the situation."

"Yes, boss, Blizzard Entertainment was acquired last year, and the founders only occupy very few shares.

However, we contacted Davidson, the issuing company that acquired Blizzard Entertainment. Although Blizzard is optimistic there, it is only an investment. We can buy equity again, but it is a price issue."

"In other words, Blizzard Entertainment can buy it directly. It's just a price issue?" Li Feng confirmed with a smile.

"Indeed," Bill nodded and confirmed.

"In this case, Bill waits for the holiday to end, let the firm cooperate with you, go talk to them, and put Blizzard Entertainment in your hands.

This is related to our entertainment media strategic plan. In the future, my entertainment media group will be a collection of traditional media, the Internet, movies, comics, animation, and game entertainment. Blizzard is an important part of game entertainment.

Also, since Bill is talking about the media group, what is the current situation of Marvel that he is concerned about?"Li Feng paid attention to Marvel again and asked with a smile.

What Li Feng didn't know was that the later Davidson Company sold Blizzard Entertainment to the Divon Group in France. Although Blizzard was very successful in game creation, it was ill-fated and was sold out several times.

......

"Boss, Marvel's stock price is getting lower and lower now, debt-ridden, and management and the board of directors are in conflict, and several major shareholders are also fighting for power and profit because of Marvel's equity issues. It can be said that Marvel is over. "Bill Willy Bay replied with a smile.

"It's the best thing to do. I value the copyrights of those comics. The copyrights of Marvel's thousands of comic characters are worth the money. Keep paying attention, don't let people get rid of it. I am determined to win Marvel." Li Feng confirmed again. .

"No problem, the boss will be the savior of Marvel at that time. We have already contacted several management personnel. Only from their mouths did we know a lot of information about Marvel."

"What happened to Barry Diller at the end?"

"This is exactly what I want to tell you, BOSS, you see this is a business plan sent by Barry Diller. Barry Diller should want to focus on acquisitions, mergers and acquisitions, and combine some small TV networks. In the end, it will be able to compete with several established media.

However, I am not very optimistic about BOSS. The basic pattern has been formed in the traditional TV media industry, and it is difficult to get involved anymore.

However, according to Barry Diller's methods and his shrewd business acumen, at least such an investment will not lose money. As for whether it can be developed, no one knows, I am not very optimistic."

"According to your thoughts, that means you won't lose money at least, right?" Li Feng replied with a smile after listening to Bill Weilibe's opinion.

"Yes, although I am not optimistic about his business plan, these small TV networks are readily available anyway. After integration, although they will not be able to shake the traditional major TV networks, at least they will not lose money."

......

"Since it is a risk-free investment, why not invest? If Barry Diller does it, it will make a lot of money.

Well, Bill, I won’t go into the details. I just want the results. Since Barry Diller is so confident, then I will work with him.

I am a major shareholder in capital, let him be a corporate manager and a small shareholder, you will tell him for me, I will support him in capital, and I don’t care how the company operates. I will completely delegate power and hope to give me one. good news.

Of course, some necessary financial supervision is still required."

After Li Feng finished speaking, he thought for a while, then picked up the phone and dialed Barry Diller.

"Hi, Barry, this is St. John Lee."

"Yes, I read your business plan. I am very interested. In principle, I agree to invest in a partnership with you. I will leave it to you in terms of business operations. As for the details, I will send someone to discuss with you.

OK, so be it, I'll wait for the result, and when we formally reach an agreement next time, we have a good drink, bye."

......

Although Li Feng knew that Barry Diller would succeed in the end, he didn't know that Barry Diller's next investment was indeed as expected by Bill Willy Bay.

Beginning in 1995, through a series of acquisitions, mergers and acquisitions of small TV networks, Internet sites, and then through integration, although it is a small achievement.

However, these actions of Barry Diller were ridiculed by many Hollywood colleagues, saying that Barry Diller was completely depraved.

After the integration of resources, it should be said that it was a success purely in terms of asset value, but at the same time, it was discovered that there was no way to leverage the traditional major TV networks.

However, Barry Diller discovered the prospect of Internet e-commerce and immediately entered the field of e-commerce.

Based on the original home shopping network, Barry Diller made a series of crazy mergers and acquisitions worth about 7 billion U.S. dollars, acquiring most of the websites on the U.S. Internet that involve all aspects of Internet life.

From 1998 to 2003, in just 5 years, Barry Diller’s online media has completely stood firm. It has become the control of a media group with a market value of tens of billions, and its own value has exceeded 10 or 2 billion. Regal, staged a good scene of salted fish turning over.

......

This stems from an uncomplicated idea: in those markets where no one can lead the situation steadily, the power of Internet intermediaries is expanding day by day; the Internet takes power from suppliers and gives it to consumers, if you If you can schedule this kind of demand, you will naturally gain an advantage from it.This is Barry Diller's understanding of Internet e-commerce.

In Diller's view, tourism, real estate and regional entertainment are all "markets where no one can lead the situation stably."

With the rapid growth of the Internet in the past, Interactive has become the world's largest consumer e-commerce service provider.

Not only that, it even surpassed the most famous troika in the Internet industry for many years.At the end of the 2003 fiscal year, its revenue was as high as $6.33 billion, while Yahoo, eBay and Amazon had revenues of 1.63 billion, 2.17 billion and 5.26 billion respectively.

Of course, these are too unfamiliar to Li Feng, but just look for Barry Diller.

In fact, this investment Li Feng invested in Barry Diller. Anyway, I know that he later became a super rich man. The media group he controls has a market value of tens of billions. It must be an over-value investment.
