Chapter 192

May 26.

UPN television network.

At 9 am this morning, as the chairman of Golden Dawn entertainment group, Zhuke signed a sale contract with representatives of Time Warner and Columbia, the owners of WB TV network, on the issue of UPN's acquisition of WB TV network.

In other words, from today on, there will be two TV networks under Jin Shuguang entertainment group.

They are UPN TV network and we TV network!

UPN TV network, focusing on limited TV network (user paid subscription);

Its future development goal will be benchmarking HBO TV network and making every effort to create high-quality TV series and films with high cost.

And will cancel advertising, in order to get more user subscription, better user experience.

WB TV network, focusing on public TV network (similar to the major TV stations in the Great China Dynasty);

After the acquisition of WB TV network, the variety shows originally owned by UPN TV network, including "talent show", "WWE Wrestling Entertainment" and other programs, will be moved to the public TV network we.

A clear program classification will enable the two TV networks of Golden Dawn entertainment group to have more programs

Professional, but also has a stronger competitiveness!

From today on, Golden Dawn entertainment group, which owns UPN and WB TV networks, is enough to rank in the top ten of American TV networks.

The media reporters from all walks of life pressed the shutter crazily to grab the headlines.

"A villain will succeed!"

"Jenkford, what do you think of it?"

"The WB TV network jointly owned by Time Warner Group and Columbia group has been established for only two years. Although it is not as good as ABC and NBC, its development momentum is not bad. Why sell it?"

"What's more, it was sold to the hateful Zucker Wald?"

Among the crowd, a man was filled with righteous indignation.

Full of anger!

His name is joy Lawson. He is a middle manager of Time Warner Group. He is a firm anti Zhu faction in Warner Group. You know, last year's "talent show" was launched, but it robbed a lot of audience share, which made the bonus of Seychelles Lawson less than in previous years.

So, joy Lawson hates Chuck!

"I agree with you, Lawson!"

Jenkford, a member of Time Warner Group, said indignantly: "in the past two years, for the development of WB TV network, the group has set up dozens of signal towers in the east coast, west coast and central region, which cost more than US $200 million! The shareholders of the board of directors of the group will sell if they say they want to sell now. Let's wait for these people below to have no time to respond. "

Joy Lawson and jenkford of Warner Group are not happy!

In fact, many people in the whole Time Warner Group are dissatisfied with the decision of the group's board of directors, especially the executives of the subsidiary Warner pictures!

Hollywood as a whole knows, there are many conflicts between Warner pictures and Wald pictures!

Both sides are not enemies, but they are definitely not friends!

In this case, no one expected that Time Warner Group, as the head office, would sell its WB TV network to Golden Dawn entertainment group, the parent company of Wald pictures.

The day before signing the contract.

Kevin Fitch, the vice president of Wald pictures, asked Zucker, "boss, how did you do it?"

Bill mcnick, the new president of Wald pictures, asked strangely: "in principle, Warner Group and Columbia group are both powerful and rich. They will never sell the WB TV network they have worked hard to build for two years without your little money."

Hehe~

"What if I'm willing to sell ICQ shares to them?" Asked Zucker.

"Boss, if what you say is true, they may let go." Kevin Fitch said.

"It's not just that, is it?" Bill mcnick was surprised.

"What about Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos's ICQ shares?" chuckled Zucker

what the fuck!

For a moment, bill and Kevin were shocked to silence.

When Zhuke sent a special person to discuss the acquisition of WB TV network with Time Warner Group for the first time, they immediately refused.

Well, the one without hesitation.

Even some time warner shareholders scoff that Zhuke is whimsical!

But!

When Zhuke's representatives offered to sell their ICQ shares and beiguangtou's, they could not calm down.

As everyone in the United States knows, Time Warner Group is determined to do something on the Internet. They have invested in seven or eight Internet companies, but the result is not very good.

Otherwise, they won't merge with AOL, one of the dominant Internet companies, around 2000.

What do they do for?

Is not greedy for the high yield and high market value of the Internet!

Nowadays, Zhuke almost gives them delicious cakes. How can they refuse them? In addition, they also took the initiative to contact Sony Columbia and sell the shares of WB to Zhuke.

When Columbia's shareholders heard about it, they were not calm on the spot.

"Murdoch's News Corporation owns the shares of ICQ, so we also have to win, otherwise it doesn't mean that we are lower than 20th century fox?"

A shareholder of Sony Columbia applauded on the spot.

As a result, Zhuke won the WB TV network with ease and happiness, and completed the unimaginable transaction!

"Boss, that's the ICQ in the middle of the sky. You are really willing to give up!"

Kevin Fitch can't help but feel sorry for juke.

WB TV network is good. Since its establishment two years ago, it has built a public TV network throughout the United States, a new force in the field of public TV.

But compared with ICQ, it's far from true!

At present, ICQ has as many as 200 million users all over the world!

At present, the Internet boom, many people want a share of ICQ but can't get it. However, Zhuke has sold the shares, which is completely incomprehensible.

"Ha ha!"

Zuker certainly will not tell them that the Internet bubble is not far away.

What's more, both Zhuke and beiguangtou originally planned to gradually release ICQ shares. Now that they can sell and get the WB TV network they need, why not?

.......

In the morning, after finalizing the acquisition contract of WB public TV network;

In the afternoon, on behalf of the "talent show" program group, Ms. Donna Langley formally signed the "talent show" advertising contract with the partners who had already reached the intention of advertising.

The total price of advertising contract is up to 180 million US dollars!

Compared with the advertising cost of 120 million US dollars in the first quarter of last year's program, it is 60 million US dollars higher!

The reason why it is more than 60 million US dollars is due to the popularity of "talent show", but also to the WB public television network as a new broadcasting platform.

After all, the advantage of public TV network in winning family ratings is not comparable to that of cable TV network.

In the evening of the same day, major American media reported this series of news with the title of "new emperor of television, chuck Wald".

The second shift was sent, and the minister continued to open the third shift to make up for what he owed yesterday.
