Chapter 976

After the phone call with Murdoch, Li Feng naturally won't take it seriously, but Li Feng didn't expect Murdoch to say this, which was really beyond his expectation.

Obviously, there are rumors of disagreement between Barry Diller and Murdoch. Li Feng doesn't care about their gratitude and hatred, as long as it doesn't involve Tianyu media. After all, it's someone else's private affair.

"Ha ha... Well... Barry, what do you think about the shares of Sky Broadcasting?"

"As far as I know, news corporation owns more than 30% of the shares of Sky Broadcasting Corporation. In fact, Murdoch has been seeking to control Sky Broadcasting Corporation in recent years, but the shareholders have no intention to sell it. After all, Sky Broadcasting Corporation has been doing well. It is the largest TV station in Britain and has a huge brand reputation in the world."

After thinking about it, Barry Diller didn't reply directly. Instead, he began to help explain the situation of Sky Broadcasting.

"Do you think I should promise Murdoch and help him?"

"Boss, it depends on what you think. In fact, Vivendi also wants to acquire the shares of Sky Broadcasting Company. As a newly rising media group, Vivendi will not miss the opportunity to take the shares of Sky Broadcasting Company in its hometown in Europe."

"By the way, after all, how many shares are there? According to the market value of Sky Broadcasting Company, what is the value?" Li Feng also knew that such a big event was not decided by a pat on the forehead, so he asked with a smile.

"Hehe... There are not many shares, only about 5%, and the value is very high, at least 500 million US dollars."

It has to be said that the TV network is really valuable. It spent more than 1 billion on the previous acquisition. I didn't think that only a small share of the two TV broadcasting companies could recover most of the investment.

……

"Wow... That's not as long as you sell the shares of these two TV stations and buy EMI film company, most of the money will come back." Li Feng's eyes lit up and then joked back.

"If you really think so, it's actually good. Our acquisition of EMI itself is to improve MGM's global distribution channel. To be honest, we didn't know that EMI still had such high-quality assets." Frank responded with a smile.

"It's always a pity to sell it."

"Boss, since the establishment of our interactive TV network, it has actually reached the top in the United States. Several major TV networks will not let a super TV network rise in the United States. I think you can consider cooperating with Murdoch.

It was reported that CBS was going to sell. Unfortunately, we went to the door and were directly rejected. It seems that Viacom bought CBS.

Therefore, I don't think we have to sell shares. We can consider cooperating with Murdoch and entrusting the shares to him to further control Sky Broadcasting. Rupert is old after all. If we still want to develop in the television network, maybe after Rupert retires, we can also seek the television network of News Corporation, Now you can have a good relationship with Rupert first.

In other words, Rupert's stake in News Corporation is only about 30%, which is not an absolute holding like boss you. If Rupert really retires, according to the abilities of Rupert's sons, those shareholders of News Corp. will never let the Murdoch family continue to control News Corp. this may be your boss's opportunity. "

Barry Diller thought of a new direction and explained to Li Feng.

Obviously, Barry's meaning is obvious. Li Feng's age advantage is too big. Murdoch's age is really big. Li Feng can afford to wait.

……

Murdoch's sons are unlikely to succeed Murdoch successfully. After all, the abilities of Murdoch's sons are clear to Li Feng, Barry and frank, who are several giants in Hollywood. Their abilities are really average. Murdoch is the old fox helping wipe his ass.

"Boss, I think Barry's proposal is good. For example, you can sign a friendly agreement with Murdoch. In case Murdoch's News Corporation does not have a good successor and you can have the priority to acquire and start the shares of Murdoch family, it will be perfect." Frank's eyes were shining, too.

"That's good..."

Hearing Barry Diller's words, Li Feng was really shocked in his heart.

Seriously speaking, Li Feng's interactive TV network has become the second largest TV network in the United States. In addition to the nearly 50 local TV stations acquired, it has also merged the satellite TV company directtv, which originally belonged to Hughes Electronics.

Directtv is the largest satellite TV company in the United States, with 12 million users in the United States. In the original history, it was acquired by Murdoch in 2002. However, before Hughes was acquired by Li Feng, Li Feng naturally would not sell it. He directly merged with the interactive TV company and integrated it into the TV network.

Because of this, in addition to several major television networks in the United States today, Li Feng's interactive television company has become the first television network under several major television networks. Unfortunately, its scale has reached the top, and several major television networks have begun to suppress interactive television networks.

The more Li Feng thinks about it, the more he thinks Barry Diller's proposal is good. If Murdoch's sons don't have the ability of Lao Tzu when he gets old, maybe it will be very lively when he is competing for power and profit at News Corporation at that time.

If you step in secretly at that time, is it possible to directly acquire news corporation or something? If you can control News Corporation, you'll be a cow.

……

Unfortunately, Li Feng really doesn't know at this time. He can only blame his rebirth. It will be a little early. Similarly, he can only blame Li Feng, an ordinary citizen in his previous life. In fact, the News Corporation in his previous life was split in 2013.

The whole news corporation is divided into two parts. One is the news and publishing business, including newspapers, magazines and other publishing and distribution businesses, which is still in the name of News Corporation. After the split, the market value of this business is only about US $5 billion, and it is facing many difficulties. After all, with the development of the Internet, it is a trend that the paper media is more and more depressed;

There is also the 20th Century Fox company, including the business of film and television media, which is the big head later. Later, as Rupert Murdoch grew old and retired, no one in the Murdoch family could take over. After Li Feng was reborn, the 20th Century Fox company was really bought by Disney.

If Li Feng starts the layout at this time, maybe there will be one more Tianyu media group under Li Feng in the competition of fox in the 20th century in the future, who knows!!!

Of course, this is based on the future. Who knows when Murdoch will retire? Anyway, Li Feng will be reborn. He is still a famous media tycoon all over the world.
