Chapter 1085

"Barry, Jay Hou, I think this may be an opportunity." Li Feng replied to them with a smile after thinking for a while.

"Ha ha... Boss, you said before that although our own TV network has performed well, its scale has basically reached the top.

Although it's OK to compete with others, for example, CBS is in the process of M & A. It is said that Viacom has offered more than 35 billion US dollars. Boss, didn't you say that the value is too high, that the potential of the Internet in the future is more valuable than these.

Based on this consideration, when I heard the news from Jie Houyu, after personally investigating the expansion road before Vivendi, I found that this might be an opportunity.

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

Besides, the preliminary offer from Vivendi is very attractive! " Finally Barry Diller smiled back.

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

Barry in his previous life said that the TV network he set up was also sold to Vivendi. The TV network in this life is a little stronger than the interactive TV network in his previous life. Li Feng is looking forward to how much he can quote.

"Barry, boss, let me contact Vivendi first when I go back?" Hearing the words of his immediate boss, Barry Diller, and the big boss behind the scenes, Jay Hou saiduton brightened his eyes and smiled back.

"Well, yes, let's have a preliminary contact first."

“…”

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

......

Just as Li Feng finished talking about business with Barry and Jiehou Saidu, a greeting came, which surprised Li Feng a little. After all, Li Feng was talking about business. It was not polite to come here rashly.

"Hey... Who should I be, summer and Rupert? You two have also come. Haven't seen each other for some time. How are you recently!" After seeing the visitor, Li Feng immediately responded with a smile.

Yes, there are two super tycoons in the media industry, namely ray Shidong, the boss of Viacom, and Murdoch of News Corporation. I think only such super tycoons will come directly.

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

After nodding to Li Feng, they turned around and joked about Barry Diller. After all, Tianyu media has been buying all the way since its establishment. So far, they haven't stopped. No wonder the two bosses are also joking.

"Summer, I was just chatting with John about Viacom's acquisition of CBS. John said that our interactive TV network is too small and Colombia is a very good platform." Facing Lei Shidong's joke, Barry Diller was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and immediately joked back.

"Really, Barry, Colombia, I'm determined to win. You'd better choose another one." At the level of Li Feng and Lei Shidong, in fact, at the communication level, sometimes they are more straightforward, and there is no need to hide. No, when hearing Barry Diller's counterattack, Lei Shidong immediately raised his eyebrows and directly fought back.

"Jie Hou, when did you come to Los Angeles?" Seeing that Barry Diller and ray Shidong were a little different, Murdoch immediately smiled and interposed.

"Rupert, do you know jho?"

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

"Oh... John, this is Jay hussaidu, chairman of EMI?" Hearing what Li Feng and Murdoch said diverted Lei Shidong's attention. Obviously, as a big man in the media industry, he should also have a certain understanding of the chairman and CEO of the famous EMI company in Europe, and immediately said with a smile.

"Summer, let me introduce you. This is Mr. JH Saidu, chairman of the board of directors of EMI. JH, this is Mr. Lei Shidong of the famous Viacom. I think Mr. Lei Shidong is no stranger to you."

"Boss, Lei Shidong's name. As a member of the media and entertainment industry, I have naturally heard of it for a long time. Mr. Lei Shidong, nice to meet you. I'm Jie Hou Saidu."

"Hello, Baidai company is naturally famous. Mr. Jie Houyu is famous outside, isn't he!"

"Ha ha... Have a chance to communicate more in the future!"

“...”

......

"John, in fact, I've always been very interested in the shares of Sky TV under the name of EMI. We've been in touch before. Why don't you sell them to me?"

"Rupert, you know I'm not short of money. How about exchanging shares of News Corporation directly?"

"John, it's not impossible to talk about it, but we can only give you ordinary circulating shares, and add John, your satellite TV operation company DirecTV. How about it?"

“DirecTV？” Li Feng said to himself.

"Rupert, this is not a condition for negotiation. Where can there be such a good thing? DirecTV is the largest satellite TV operator in the United States and the core business of Tianyu media. Moreover, if news corporation has DirecTV, you can integrate all the TV news networks of News Corporation in the world."

As a senior media personage, Barry Diller knew the importance of satellite TV operators to TV networks and news media, especially the TV network of News Corporation. Speaking, it was established under the leadership of Barry Diller. He was worried that Li Feng, the boss who was not in charge, didn't know the importance, so he immediately explained aside.

"I see. Rupert, you're bullying me. I don't understand TV networks. You're not a friend!" After listening to Barry's explanation, Li Feng immediately joked back.

"John, I can't blame you for that. Although we are good friends, business is business, isn't it?"

"Really? To tell you the truth, although I really want to have heard of DirecTV before, I really think it was attached when I bought Hughes company. Unexpectedly, Hughes company still has such good things!"

Li Feng remembered something about DirecTV at that time. It was an accessory to the original acquisition of Hughes company. After all, Hughes company is the world's largest satellite operator. Along with it, there is a satellite TV operation network in the United States or even the world.

"John, you're lucky to have your beard cut in advance!"

"Ha ha... Rupert, I can't blame you. I can only say that your news corporation is too slow, isn't it?"

"Ha ha..."

“...”

......

With the verbal confrontation between Li Feng and Murdoch, especially seeing that Li Feng was cheap and good, and Murdoch, a media mogul, was flat, everyone burst into laughter.

In the original history, the largest satellite TV operator in the United States was indeed acquired by Murdoch. At that time, the competitor was Vivendi. However, after final consideration, Vivendi acquired the second largest satellite TV operator of Midea, which made DirecTV be included in the income of News Corporation.

The former Hughes company was acquired by Raytheon, a military giant of the US empire. Naturally, satellite TV operation is not the main business of the military giant, so it was included in the sales list. In this life, Hughes was intercepted by Li Feng. More importantly, at that time, the military business department of Texas Instruments was also intercepted by Li Feng. In the 1990s, the two most important mergers and acquisitions of Raytheon were intercepted. As a result, Li Feng's military enterprises directly reached a level of strength comparable to the original Raytheon.

At that time, Raytheon had to take the initiative to come to the door because of the frenzy of merger of major military enterprises in the United States. In fact, people initially wanted to re acquire the two businesses of Texas Instruments and Hughes, but after some exchanges and negotiations, they further merged Raytheon.

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

Murdoch and other media bigwigs can only stare and look greedy. After all, Li Feng, a new super tycoon, not only has a short rise time, but also has a higher status than Murdoch and other media bigwigs.

Li Feng's career is not just a little media business. In addition to being a new media tycoon, he is also a series of titles such as military giant, network technology tycoon, real estate tycoon and so on. To put it bluntly, people like Li Feng have been able to really influence the direction of the American government. After all, many of Li Feng's industries are related to the embodiment of the real strength of the United States, such as the most important military.
