Shadow queen development plan

So as long as he fights steadily, Murdoch believes that he will win in the end.

"I know what to do."

Jim agreed immediately.

If he is only running a movie project, Jim is still very confident.

Little Murdoch patted the armrest of the chair lightly: "We still have to wait for the opportunity. We won't stimulate Jiufeng during this period of time."

"Ok."

Although I don't know why the president changed it, Jim nodded and agreed.

Probably seeing Jim’s confusion, little Murdoch explained: "The group has made a big move recently. My father and the others are preparing to acquire Time Warner Group."

Jim Canopoulos is his absolute confidant, so Murdoch doesn't shy away from mentioning some confidential things.

Jim did not expect this to be the case.

If what little Murdoch said is true, it is really a big deal.

just……

Jim subconsciously asked the question he cared most: "Why is Time Warner Group, not Jiufeng Entertainment?"

Time Warner Group is more than just Warner Bros., a film company, it is a huge media group that does not lose to News Corporation.

In all aspects, Jiufeng Entertainment is definitely easier to start than Time Warner.

"This is a decision my father made." Little Murdoch replied, "and Jiufeng is not so easy to start."

From the perspective of listed companies, the equity of Jiufeng Group is really very concentrated, and the equity structure is simple and rude.

Since more than a hundred years ago, the Jiufeng family has been firmly holding a large number of shares in the company to ensure their family's dominant position in the company.

Even during the period of Jiufengpu, part of it was dispersed because of the rapid development of the game business.

But after Jiufeng Shion accepted it, they all received it back, and then transferred a portion to his own man to pull the opponent into his chariot.

As a result, Jiufeng Shion and Kiryu Qiye's combined shares exceeded one third.

If it is another listed company, outsiders can also buy retail stocks and cannibalize them step by step.

But Jiufeng is so special. As long as Shion and Qiye agree, they can ignore other shareholders and make any decisions they want.

After all, the advantage of one-third of the shares is too great.

Not to mention, because in the past two years, Jiufeng has made too much money under the leadership of Shion and Qiye.

Many people on the Jiufeng board of directors are loyal doglegs of Jiufeng Shion and Kiryu Nanaya.

Although Western media has always believed that Jiufeng's inheritance of shares by blood relatives is a feudal remnant.

But Murdoch himself really envied the feeling of being in power.

Of course, in addition to Jiufeng's difficulty in starting, another more important reason is that the decision to acquire Time Warner was made by Rupert Murdoch himself.

Little Murdoch knew very well that if he didn't support him, he would be nothing.

If you want to inherit News Corp, it is necessary to keep up with the father at this time.

Otherwise, he wouldn't even be able to sit on the seat of Fox president.

I have to say that the reason for "daddy wants to do this" is very strong, and even Jim Ganopoulos can't say anything.

He can only lower his head and promise: "I will let Fox cooperate fully."

It's just that Jim is not so confident in Rupert Murdoch's plan.

Based on the size of Time Warner and News Corporation, if the merger is really carried out, it will definitely not only be a matter between the two companies.

No one in North America would like to see such a dominance.

Of course, if it is really successful, then Murdoch will really be the first person in the entertainment industry in the Western world.

[Can it really be done?

Jim still expressed a hint of doubt in his heart.

···

"Of course it's impossible."

Qiye explained to Shion: "Except for Murdoch himself, no one will allow him to succeed."

News Corp. wanted to annex Warner for a long time. Qiye remembers that there were several such rumors in the memory of the previous life.

But none of them succeeded.

The reason is simple. Every time News Corporation is about to succeed, various things will interrupt the acquisition.

The most famous one was in 2011.

At that time, News Corp’s wiretapping scandal broke out directly, causing the entire company to suffer a major reputation blow.

After the development of News Corporation, various dilemmas appeared, and in the end it had to sell Fox to Disney.

The reason why News Corp.’s acquisition of Time Warner was frustrated is simple. There are too many enemies in this matter.

Except for Time Warner Group’s unwillingness, other media groups in Europe and the United States are unwilling to see the birth of a super media company.

This and Disney's acquisition of Fox are completely two concepts.

You must know that Disney only acquired Fox's film company, and other industries including Fox Television are still in the hands of News Corporation.

Although Disney has indeed become too powerful for the film industry, it is only the film industry.

Even so, Disney's acquisition of Fox was not going smoothly. It took several years to complete all the acquisitions.

And News Corp and Time Warner merge?

I am afraid that even the US government will not be willing to do this.

pS1: Before the News Corp scandal broke out in 11 years, the market value was about 30 billion.

At that time, the market value of film companies was generally lower than this.
