Chapter 123

"Good morning, Grandpa and Uncle Wang." Early in the morning, Li Feng got up and went downstairs. He saw Bo Wang and grandpa Li Xinghua playing chess.

"Old woman, Xiao Feng is up and can have breakfast." Grandpa Li Xinghua was still playing chess with Uncle Wang. He looked up and shouted.

"Ah, Grandpa, wait a minute. I'll exercise first. I'm used to it."

Next, I went to the gym to exercise. Naturally, it was almost 9 o'clock.

Today is Halloween. Most of the US have holidays. Unfortunately, I received a call from Bill wilbey yesterday, saying that Blizzard Entertainment had news last time and needed to be discussed.

"Grandpa and grandma, I'll go to the company. If you're bored at home, you can take people to the street." Li Feng said to the two old people.

"You go. Be careful on the way. Don't worry about us." The two old men said happily.

The two old people are really worried about the sudden emergence of their grandson. They heard that they have a rest day today and have to go to the company to talk about things. The old lady shouted that they have to be busy during the holiday. The little grandson is really too hard.

If the old lady's words are heard by the people under Li Feng's company, it is estimated that they will spit blood. They don't know that their good grandson rarely goes to the company. He is too lazy to play and pick up girls every day, and completely shakes off the shopkeeper.

After saying goodbye to his family, Li Feng and his party drove out of the manor towards the company.

To tell the truth, Li Feng did a good job in dealing with the sudden emergence of a pair of old people. It's still good to have a pair of grandparents in this life.

......

"Zach, bill, happy Halloween."

"Boss, the company has a holiday today. There are few people. After talking about things in the morning, everyone can have a holiday." Bill wilbey replied with a smile.

"OK, in that case, let's make a long story short and get to the point, bill. Tell me about the situation."

"Yes, boss, Blizzard Entertainment was acquired last year, and several founders only occupy a few shares.

However, we contacted Davidson, the distribution company that acquired Blizzard Entertainment. Although it is optimistic about Blizzard, it is only an investment. We can buy equity again, but it is a matter of price. "

"In other words, Blizzard Entertainment can be bought directly. It's just a matter of price?" Li Feng confirmed with a smile.

"That's true," bill nodded.

"In that case, bill, when the holiday is over, let the office cooperate with you and talk to them to completely control Blizzard Entertainment.

This is related to our entertainment media strategic plan. In the future, my entertainment media group will be a collection of traditional media, Internet, film, cartoon, animation and game entertainment. Blizzard is an important part of game entertainment.

Also, since bill talked about the media group, what is the situation of marvel? " Li Feng paid attention to marvel again and asked with a smile.

What Li Feng didn't know was that later Davidson sold Blizzard Entertainment to Diwang group in France. Although blizzard was very successful in game creation, it was ill fated and sold off several times.

......

"Boss, Marvel's share price is getting lower and lower, it's in debt, and there are many contradictions between the management and the board of directors, and several major shareholders are competing for power and profit because of Marvel's equity problem. It can be said that marvel is over." Bill wilbey replied with a smile.

"The best thing is that I value the copyright of those comics. The copyright of thousands of comic characters of marvel is valuable. Continue to pay attention. Don't let people cut off their beard. Marvel, I'm determined to get it. " Li Feng confirmed with him again.

"No problem. The boss will be the Savior of marvel. We have contacted several management personnel and learned a lot of information about Marvel from them."

"What about the last Barry Diller?"

"That's what I want to tell you, boss. You see, this is the business plan sent by Barry Diller. Barry Diller should want to focus on acquisition and M & A, combine some small TV networks, and finally form a situation that can compete with several old media.

However, boss, I'm not very optimistic. The basic pattern has been formed in the traditional TV media industry, and it's hard to get involved again.

However, according to Barry Diller's means and his shrewd business mind, at least such investment will not lose money. As for whether it can develop, no one knows. Personally, I'm not very optimistic. "

"According to your idea, at least you won't lose money, will you?" After listening to bill wilbey's opinion, Li Feng replied with a smile.

"Yes, although I'm not optimistic about his business plan, these small TV networks are ready-made anyway. Although they can't shake the traditional major TV networks after integration, at least they won't lose money."

......

"Since it is a risk-free investment, why not invest? If Barry Diller does it, he will make a lot of money.

Well, bill, I won't talk about the details. I just want the results. Since Barry Diller is so confident, I'll work with him.

As a major shareholder in capital, let him be an enterprise manager and a small shareholder. Tell him on behalf of me that I support him in capital, and I don't care how the enterprise operates. I completely delegate power. I hope to give me good news.

Of course, there must be some necessary financial supervision. "

After Li Feng finished, he thought for a moment, then picked up the phone and dialed Barry Diller.

"Hi, Barry, I'm St. John Lee."

"Yes, I've read your business plan. I'm very interested. In principle, I agree to invest together with you. In terms of enterprise operation, I'll completely leave it to you. As for the details, I'll send someone to talk to you in detail.

OK, that's it. I'll wait for the result. When the agreement is officially reached next time, we'll have a good drink. Bye. "

......

Although Li Feng knew that Barry Diller would eventually succeed, he did not know that Barry Diller's next investment was indeed as expected by bill Weibei.

Since 1995, through a series of acquisitions, mergers and acquisitions of small TV networks and Internet websites, and then through integration, although it is also a small achievement.

However, Barry Diller's actions were ridiculed by many colleagues in Hollywood, saying that Barry Diller was completely degenerate.

After the integration of resources, it should be said to be successful if it is purely in terms of asset value, but it is also found that there is no way to pry the traditional TV networks.

However, Barry Diller found the prospect of Internet e-commerce, and then fully entered the field of e-commerce.

Based on the initial home shopping network, Barry Diller carried out a series of crazy mergers and acquisitions with a total value of about $7 billion, acquiring more than half of the websites involved in all aspects of Internet life on the American Internet.

From 1998 to 2003, in just five years, Barry Diller's network media has completely gained a foothold. It has become the control of a media group with a market value of tens of billions. It is also a super rich with a value of more than 1 billion and 2 billion, and staged a good play of salted fish turning over.

......

This stems from an uncomplicated concept: in markets where no one can stabilize the leadership situation, the power of Internet intermediaries is expanding day by day; The Internet takes power from suppliers and gives it to consumers. If you can schedule this demand, you can naturally gain an advantage. This is Barry Diller's understanding of Internet e-commerce.

In Diller's view, tourism, real estate and regional entertainment belong to "a market where no one can stabilize the leading situation".

With the rapid growth of the Internet in the past, interactive company has become the largest consumer e-commerce service provider in the world.

Not only that, it even surpasses the most famous Troika in the Internet industry for many years. At the end of fiscal year 2003, its revenue was as high as $6.33 billion, while Yahoo, eBay and Amazon had revenue of $1.63 billion, 2.17 billion and 5.26 billion respectively.

Of course, these are too strange to Li Feng, but as long as you recognize Barry Diller.

In fact, Li Feng invested in Barry Diller. Anyway, I know from my memory that he later became a super rich. The market value of the media group controlled by him is tens of billions, which must be a valuable investment.
