Rebirth

"Barry, Jiehouwei, I think this might be an opportunity." Li Feng replied to the two with a smile after thinking about the meeting.

"Haha...BOSS, you said before that although our own TV network performed well, after all, it has basically reached the top scale now.

Although it is okay to compete with others, for example, CBS is currently undergoing mergers and acquisitions. It is said that Viacom has already quoted more than 35 billion U.S. dollars.Didn’t you say BOSS that this value is too high, but that the potential of the Internet in the future is more valuable than these.

It is based on this consideration that when I heard the news from Jiehoutai, after personally investigating Vivendi’s previous expansion, I found that this might be an opportunity.

Vivendi is different from us. Today Vivendi already has a TV network covering Europe. Obviously, they are now interested in the American market. After all, the United States is now the center of the world's media and entertainment industry.

Besides, Vivendi’s preliminary offer is very attractive!"Finally, Barry Diller replied with a smile.

Obviously, Barry Diller is very clear about Li Feng's development plan for the media and television industry. It is precisely Li Feng's layout that Barry Diller thinks this is an opportunity.

In his previous life, Barry said that the TV network he built was also sold to Vivendi. The TV network in this life is a bit more powerful than the interactive TV network in the previous life. Li Feng is really looking forward to how much he can offer.

"Barry, BOSS, then I will try to contact Vivendi first when I go back?" Hearing the words of his immediate boss, Barry Diller and the big boss behind the scenes, Jiehoudi Saidu suddenly replied with a bright eye.

"Well, yes, let's get in touch first."

"..."

"John, what are you talking about, do you mind if we come over and listen?"

......

Just when Li Feng had finished discussing business matters with Barry and Jie Hou Ai Saidu, a greeting came, which made Li Feng a little surprised. After all, Li Feng and several people were discussing business matters, so it would be impolite to come over rashly. .

"Hey..., who am I, Summer and Rupert, you two have also come, haven't seen you for a while, how are you doing recently!" Li Feng responded with a smile after seeing the person coming. Tao.

That's right, the two media super tycoons who came here were Redstone from Viacom and Murdoch from News Corp. Only such super tycoons would come here directly.

"Barry, which company are you busy acquiring recently?"

The two came over and nodded to Li Feng, then turned around and joked about Barry Diller. After all, Tianyu Media has been acquiring all the way since its establishment, and it hasn’t stopped until now. No wonder the two big guys also joked. .

"Summer, I was just chatting with John about Viacom's acquisition of CBS. John said that our interactive television network is too small, and Columbia is a very good platform." Facing Redstone's jokes , Barry Diller is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and immediately counterattacked jokingly.

"Really, Barry, Colombia, I am determined to win, you should choose another one." People at the level of Li Feng and Lei Shidong are actually more straightforward in communication, and there is no need to hide it. After hearing Barry Diller's counterattack, Redstone raised his eyebrows and then directly counterattacked back.

"Jehovah, when did you come to Los Angeles?" Seeing Barry Diller and Redstone in a somewhat unconventional posture, Murdoch on the side suddenly interjected with a smile.

"Rupert, do you know Jehovah?"

"John, EMI is one of the major shareholders of Sky TV, and Jie Houai knows it naturally."

"Oh... John, this is the chairman of EMI Corporation, Jie Hou Ai Sai Du?" Hearing Li Feng and Murdoch's words, he diverted Redstone's attention. Obviously, he is a big man in the media industry. , The chairman and CEO of the famous European company EMI should also have a certain understanding, and he said with a smile.

"Summer, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Jie Hou Ai Saidou, Chairman of the Board of Directors of EMI. Jie Hou Ai, this is Mr. Redstone from the famous Viacom. I think Mr. Redstone you should No stranger."

"BOSS, Lei Shidong's name. As a member of the media and entertainment industry, I have naturally heard of it. Mr. Lei Shidong, I am glad to meet you. I am Jie Hou Ai Sai Du."

"Hello, EMI is naturally famous, and Mr. Jie Hou Wei is already famous, isn't it?"

"Haha..., there will be more opportunities to communicate in the future!"

"..."

......

"John, in fact, I have always been very interested in the shares of Sky TV under the name of EMI. We have been in touch before, or sell it to me."

"Rupert, you know that I am not short of money, or, how about giving me shares in News Corporation?"

"John, it's not impossible to talk about it, but you can only give you ordinary shares, and you need to add DirecTV, your satellite TV operating company under John, how about it?"

"DirecTV?" Li Feng said to himself.

"Rupert, you are not a condition for negotiation. Where is such a good thing? DirecTV is the largest satellite TV operator in the United States and the core business of Tianyu Media. If News Corporation owns DirecTV, then you It can integrate all the TV news networks of your News Corp. in the world."

As a veteran media person, Barry Diller is well aware of the importance of satellite TV operators to TV networks and news media, especially the TV network of News Corporation. Speaking of which, it was established under Barry Diller’s leadership and worried. Li Feng, the boss who doesn't care much about things, didn't know the importance, so he quickly explained to the side.

"So, Rupert, you are bullying and I don't understand TV networks. You are not like a friend!" Hearing Barry's explanation, Li Feng immediately replied humorously.

"John, you can't blame me for this. Although we are good friends, we are in business, right?"

"Really, to be honest, although I really want to have heard of DirecTV before, I really think it was included when I bought Hughes. I didn't expect that Hughes still has such a good thing!"

At this time, Li Feng remembered a little bit about DirecTV. It was an accessory to the acquisition of Hughes. After all, Hughes is the world's largest satellite operator. By the way, there is a nationwide or even the world's largest satellite TV. Operate the network.

"John, you're out of shit luck, let you cut it off ahead of time!"

"Haha... Rupert, you can't blame me for this, you can only say that your News Corp. response is too slow, isn't it?"

"Haha..."

"..."

......

Following the verbal confrontation between Li Feng and Murdoch, especially seeing Li Feng's cheap and beloved appearance and Murdoch's deflated appearance of the media magnate, everyone burst into laughter.

In the original history, the largest satellite TV operator in the United States was indeed acquired by Murdoch. The competitor at the time was Vivendi, but at the time Vivendi was the first to acquire the American emperor after the final consideration. The two major satellite TV operators have allowed DirecTV to be included in News Corporation.

The Hughes company in the previous life was acquired by the American military giant Raytheon. The satellite TV operation is of course not the main business of the military giant, so it was included in the sales list.The Hughes company in this life was cut off by Li Feng. More importantly, the military business department of Texas Instruments was cut off by Li Feng. In the 1990s, the two most important mergers and acquisitions for Raytheon were cut off. As a result, Li Feng's military industry enterprises have directly reached the point where they are on par with the original Thor.

Due to the merging frenzy of major military-industrial companies in the United States at that time, Raytheon at that time had to take the initiative to come to the door. In fact, people originally wanted to reacquire the two major businesses of Texas Instruments and Hughes, but after some exchanges and negotiations, Further merged Raytheon.

When integrating resources, DirecTV was sold directly to the related company-Tianyu Media Group, which naturally became one of the core businesses of the media group.

Murdoch and other media tycoons can only stare and stare at them. After all, Li Feng, the newly-emerged super tycoon, has a shorter rise time, and even his status is like Murdoch. Above the media magnates.

Li Feng's career is not just a bit of media business. In addition to being a new media tycoon, he is also a national military industry magnate, network technology tycoon, real estate tycoon, and a series of titles.To put it bluntly, people like Li Feng have been able to truly influence the direction of the American government. After all, many of Li Feng's industries involve the real strength of the United States, such as the most important military.
