Rebirth

Chapter 210-Barry Diller's Shrewd Vision

After talking about the possible acquisition of CAA, I chatted with Barry Diller again. Seeing Barry Diller's confident expression, Li Feng was also very happy. Now Barry Diller and other company managers made Li Feng very satisfied.

For an old fox like Barry Diller who has spent his entire life in Hollywood, after Li Feng’s forward-looking talk, there are endless possibilities for buying shares or acquiring CAA. In this regard, Li Feng is also full of expectations. Is it CAA or an entertainment media group.

"BOSS, since the CAA situation has been said, I have been very interested in a magazine recently. I was discussing the acquisition before, and I have almost talked about it recently. This is the specific information. You can look at it and finally need your confirmation."

After talking about the CAA, Barry Diller once again took out a document and handed it to Li Feng. After all, Li Feng's approval is needed for the acquisition.

Although Li Feng also said that he has decision-making power over the entertainment media group, Barry Diller still passed a briefing on major company matters to Li Feng.

"FastCompany, a business magazine?"

"Yes, it is a new company established in August last year. It is a business magazine established by two former Harvard Business Review editors. I am personally optimistic about the development of this magazine, and our media group also needs to have such a A professional business magazine."

"Since you are optimistic about it, then do it. Whether it is an acquisition or a share investment, you have the final say, I will not make an evaluation." Li Feng said with a smile, after all, such a new magazine is also expensive to buy. Not much money.

...

I have to say that Li Feng has picked up the treasure again, and at the same time he can only admire Li Feng's luck.For Li Feng in his previous life, Fast Company or Fast Company Business Magazine has never heard of it. After all, as a member of ordinary people, who has the time to care about a business magazine.

But if later generations are successful business people, if they don't know the famous fast company business magazine in later generations, they will not be regarded as successful business elites.

This business magazine was established in August 1995 by the former editor of Harvard Business Review, adhering to the concept of “the world is changing business, and business is changing the world”, and it provides guidance for those who create wealth and transform business. .

Later generations were advertised as the "Business Revolution Handbook". The magazine provides the latest ideas on scale management, leading issues and new technologies, such as team building, participatory management, and the impact of information technology.

The magazine is full of ideas and strategies, analyzes and evaluates business companies, and tells readers how to compete in the global business field.

The magazine has reached a circulation of 500,000 points in just a few years, and has since become one of the most prestigious and influential business magazines in the United States. It has become the United States with media such as Fortune Magazine, Business Weekly, and Wall Street Journal. And even the mainstream authoritative media in the world's business and economic fields.

"FastCompany" magazine will look for companies (or individuals) with creative business ideas, rapid growth, and certain social benefits on a global scale every year. Through the voting of senior professional reporters, 50 companies or individuals of the year are selected, called "Fast50 ".

This is a bit similar to the Fortune 500, Forbes rankings and other lists, which are very popular with business people.

Today is such a world-renowned business magazine, and it is now in front of Li Feng, or Li Feng has picked up a treasure.

Not to mention its commercial success, it can be imagined that it represents a wide range of senior corporate management talents and contacts. Many corporate management masters can publish various comments in magazines and write their own related business fields. As wait.

If Li Feng can make good use of this magazine in the future, at least there will be no shortage of top management talents in the future.

...

"OK, I'll go ahead with BOSS."

Seeing that Li Feng agreed to his suggestion, Barry Diller said goodbye to Li Feng with a smile on his face, and then left the office with a happy mood. After all, his suggestion was adopted, which made Barry Diller happy. .

Today, Barry Diller has risen again, and even has more status than before in Hollywood. Everyone knows that Li Feng handed over the management of the Entertainment Media Group to Barry Diller.

Barry Diller is not the boss of a film company before, but an entertainment media group like Disney and Warner, although the current Century Entertainment Media Group is still relatively immature.

But it is undeniable that the potential is full. There are TV stations (integrated by the acquisition of many local TV stations), there is the Internet, and now they are getting involved in the Internet, print media, Hollywood animation, special effects companies, etc., just a Hollywood film company. It is already a comprehensive media group.

But where do they know, Hollywood film company Li Feng will naturally not give up, Li Feng has already asked Barry Diller to contact Marvel.

But they are only secretly. I have to say that Li Feng's best choice for Barry Diller to become the president of the media group is that his contacts in Hollywood are really extensive.

For example, Stan Lee, known as the father of Marvel. Barry Diller has been able to get on the line through his own influence. He has even negotiated with the current management team. They have received their support. Just wait for Marvel. Today's two major Wall Street crocodiles intervene after they have lost both sides.

According to Li Feng and Barry Diller's ideas, after Marvel was acquired, that is, when the film company officially started, after all, there was a film company inside Marvel, which happened to be independent.

And Barry Diller is the head of this media empire. Although there is a big boss on it, this big boss knows how to delegate power, so that Barry Diller, the former Hollywood boss, is completely committed, and the pairing of the two really complements each other.

...

Naturally, as Li Feng and the three beautiful assistants were left in the office again, the atmosphere suddenly relaxed again. Following Li Feng's call, the three women once again fell into the happy troubles of playing games with Li Feng.

Similarly, for the newcomer Lin Xilei, the beautiful assistant, Barry Diller's arrival today made her vibrate again. It is no stranger to the Hollywood CAA agency as a former member of the entertainment circle.

Listen to Li Feng's analysis of Hollywood and CAA, and Barry Diller's desire to acquire CAA, which can be said to be the world's number one entertainment agency.

Faced with Li Feng and Barry Diller, who are standing at the top of Hollywood, Lin Xilei suddenly found that her previous idea of ​​wanting to gain a foothold in the entertainment industry in Taiwan was really naive.

Even if you stand firm, it's not just the money-making tools of the consortium behind it. For such people, the so-called celebrities are not what they call and go.

As the saying goes, stand tall and see far, as you learn more about Li Feng and his company, strength, and influence, your thoughts on the previous mixed entertainment circles become less and less.

Of course, with different identities, status, and perspectives, the issue will naturally be viewed differently. No one knows what will happen to the final destiny, and Lin Xilei does not know whether the future life will completely say goodbye to the entertainment industry.
