Rebirth

Chapter 975: Barry Diller Is Here

Early in the morning, Li Feng woke up from the open-air balcony of the suite.

At this time, Li Feng was sitting cross-legged on the open-air balcony meditating. With a deep breath, he woke up completely from the meditation, feeling the sense of strength coming from his body, making Li Feng feel good. The kidney is the greatest welfare of the reborn.

He jumped up and drank the pure wild American ginseng tea on the tea table, and walked back to the bedroom happily, only to see four charming little girls lying on the big bed in the bedroom. The soft thin blanket covered most of the attractive figure, but the beautiful face and the rugged figure showed that Li Feng's'development' results were gratifying, so that Xiao Li Feng almost got up again.

Seeing the girls who were still sleeping, she was very happy, put on her nightgown and walked into the washing room with a smile, and the plan for a new day began.

In the living room, just after eating breakfast, Li Feng was drinking tea, but he saw Wang Siqing walking in with two familiar people.

"Hi, Barry, Frank, you are also in Paris!"

"BOSS, we arrived in Paris some time earlier than you."

"Oh... what happened to EMI Studios?"

"Although there are occasional twists and turns, the problem is not big and basically solved."

"Oh... that's good, Frank, we will have all the movies in the future."

"Yes, MGM has reorganized a new distribution channel facing the global market. Compared with the other major companies in Hollywood, MGM today is no less inferior." Frank, who helped control the movie, was immediately excited. The reply.

"There is also Mr. Pinault's help here, but it has helped a lot." Barry Diller reminded after thinking about it.

"Ok…"

...

In the original history, EMI will be acquired by the French media giant Vivendi in the future, but today Vivendi’s main focus is on the media, such as TV networks, news agencies, etc., and we need to wait for movies1 ,2 years.

However, this time because of Tianyu Media’s acquisition of EMI, it was not a problem at the beginning, but after the acquisition of EMI spread in Europe, it immediately caused a sensation in the European media industry. After all, EMI is one of the most resounding business cards in the European film industry. One.

Later, Vivendi also reported that he wanted to intervene in the acquisition of EMI and compete with Tianyu Media. As one of the veteran giants in the world media industry, Barry Diller naturally understood the way, and then Barry suddenly announced that Interactive Television Network Intervene in several European television stations that Vivendi is negotiating to acquire.

Obviously, compared to EMI Films, the TV network that is now being formed covering the European continent is more important to Vivendi. Then, under the contact of Pino and his son, the two parties quickly reached an understanding and smoothly acquired Vivendi. Several TV stations, and EMI was naturally acquired by Tianyu Media.

In short, the acquisition of EMI is a surprise.Similarly, the price is not cheap. The acquisition of EMI cost a total of 1.5 billion US dollars. In the original history, Vivendi had to announce the merger of EMI after setting up its own TV network in 1999. After the merger, the new Vivendi was taken by Wall Street. The daily stock price is $2.6 billion.

Obviously, Li Feng has been cut off now, and this history has also changed.

...

"By the way, BOSS, EMI owns part of the shares of the BBC and part of France’s largest live satellite TV platform Canalsat, and Vivendi hopes to acquire this part of the shares of French TV. We have agreed to this. It was part of their abandonment of the acquisition of EMI.

The shares of this French TV platform are estimated to be able to recover at least US$300 million in cash.

Similarly, news about the shares of Sky Broadcasting and Television Station also came from News Corporation, hoping to complete the acquisition."Barry Diller suddenly reminded Li Feng at this moment.

"Oh... Vivendi, News Corp?"

"Yes, Vivendi was originally a water company. In the past two years, it has expanded its industry and entered the media industry. It is a newly emerging media group in France and is now expanding throughout Europe. It is reported that they are preparing to acquire and merge Canadian brewing giants. Seagram Corporation.

As for News Corporation, let’s not say, our old friends."

"Brewing giant?" Li Feng whispered and repeated again.

"Yes, this brewing company bought Universal before."

"So that's the case, so Vivendi will become our competitor in the future." Li Feng joked with a smile.

I have heard of Vivendi’s previous life, but I only know that they bought Universal Pictures, and then it seemed that they almost went bankrupt due to the rapid expansion. Then they sold Universal Pictures to General Electric, and then General Electric sold Universal Pictures to General Electric. NBC Television Networks merged to form NBC Universal.

"These companies are not doing their business properly. A good brewing company did not make wine but made the acquisition of Hollywood giants like Universal. Hollywood is not such a mess, and now it is in a mess and is being acquired, so why bother.

The same goes for Vivendi. If a good water company does not do it, it directly enters the irrelevant media industry. Isn't it all right?"

Li Feng smiled and joked again, making the two media and entertainment tycoons Barry Diller and Frank dumbfounded, thinking, if you don't do business properly, BOSS is the biggest in your cross-industry, and who is not doing business properly?

...

"Ring Ling Ling..."

As he was talking, Li Feng's personal cell phone rang on the coffee table beside him.

"Yeah... Look, this really means that Cao Cao is here."

Seeing that both of them looked at him curiously, Li Feng said, "It's the old fellow Murdoch, I think I have received the news."

After speaking, the phone was successfully connected: "Hello, Rupert, why did you suddenly think of calling me?"

"John, what have you been up to lately? It's been a long time."

"Oh, nothing busy, not on vacation in France recently."

"..."

After an unnutritious greeting, the old fox Murdoch couldn't help it first, and asked directly on the phone: "John, I heard that you bought EMI Films!"

"The EMI movie? I really don't know, Barry never mentioned it to me."

"..."

Listening to Li Feng’s innocent dialogue, Barry Diller and Frank sitting next to each other laughed in their hearts and praised secretly. Although the boss is only 18 years old, he doesn’t even look at this now. With a wink, success is not without reason.

If Li Feng knew that the two generals under him would evaluate him this way, he would have to take the brick machine in his hand and hit them directly on the foreheads.

...

"No way, John, don't you know such a big thing, Barry is still hiding it from you, your boss is not doing very well!"

The voice of Murdoch in the receiver made Barry Diller almost yelling.

Li Feng motioned to Barry Diller to stay calm, and immediately replied: "Well, thank you, I will go to understand the situation. I don't know the acquisition of EMI Films. My boss really failed."

"Then John, you still don't know. EMI holds a part of the shares of BSkyB. I heard that Tianyu Media has spent a lot of money to acquire EMI. I think you can recover some of the funds. What do you think?"

Listening to the old fox's words of'good for you', Li Feng, Barry Diller, and Frank were silent and criticized.

"Well, Rupert, I really haven't received any news about EMI. How about contacting you when I understand the situation?"

"OK, then I'll wait for your good news, but John, I have to remind you. It was the same when Barry helped me form Fox Television Network. Fox Television Network almost became Barry. The company only knows Barry Diller. I don’t know News Corp. You have to pay attention."

"OK, I see, thank you for your reminder, then I will go to find out now and talk about it next time."

"That's it, goodbye!"

"..."

"Cough cough cough..."

Seeing Li Feng's arc and shrugging his shoulders made Frank couldn't help laughing, but seeing Barry Diller's face in black, he suddenly held back and felt uncomfortable, and couldn't help but cough lightly.

"Haha..."

...

As Li Feng burst into laughter, Frank couldn't help but jokingly looked at Barry Diller and laughed, filling the living room with laughter.
