"Boss, this is the ownership of Lanai Island. With the preemptive right of Sky TV and DirecTV, we first purchased 98% of the island rights from Murdoch, with a total cost of US $180 million. Another 2% is in the hands of the Hawaiian government. The government will not let go. After all, there are 23000 ordinary people on the island."
"Did the old guy finally agree? Well, it happens that we are also pushing the boat with the current, so what degree did we talk to Murdoch?" Hearing that Lanai Island is now his own, Li Feng responded with a smile.
It has to be said that Lanai Island really does not lack buyers. For example, Bill Gates, the current "richest man", has always wanted to buy it. After all, Lanai Island is the place where gates got married, which is still of great significance. Besides, there are few opportunities for a large island like Lanai Island.
Later generations waited until Murdoch was old. At that time, Lanai Island was finally transferred to Ellison, the boss of Oracle. At that time, the price seemed to be more than US $500 million. In terms of investment value, it was really general. Li Feng had too many choices. The investment income of us $180 million invested in other channels was far beyond.
Of course, this account is not calculated in this way. Besides, with today's wealth and the volume of US $180 million, it doesn't have much impact at all. It's hard for real money to buy a good heart. Lanai Island has to say that Li Feng likes it very much. Now that he has become the owner of the island, he can be regarded as a real private vacation place.
This is only a priority, so he took Lanai Island first. It can be regarded as getting it first before going out. Li Feng is very satisfied with this.

"On the whole, Murdoch and his colleagues agreed with our proposal to directly integrate Sky TV and DirecTV into News Corporation and obtain shares in News Corporation, but the specific share issue is controversial." Barry Diller replied again.
"Take your time. Anyway, we are not in a hurry. Murdoch is in a hurry. After all, Murdoch urgently needs both Sky TV and DirecTV.
Besides, even if we become shareholders of News Corporation, we can't help Murdoch for the time being. Moreover, according to our plan, what we want is the future news corporation. In this case, I'll personally contact Murdoch to try and sell him. "
"Boss, do you want to have a showdown with Murdoch and hand over the voting rights of the shares to Murdoch for the time being?"
"Yes, if we merge now, even if we get the equity, even if we have all the voting rights, it will not affect the overall situation of News Corporation. Moreover, I believe Murdoch will definitely put forward that our shares may become shares that only enjoy dividends when it comes to the merger, After all, Murdoch's business in his life is not talk.
In that case, why should I simply point out that I can entrust the voting right of equity to Murdoch, just Murdoch himself, for example, let him exercise the voting right for 10 or 15 years.
After 10-15 years or even 20 years, I think the era of Murdoch is over. What will happen to News Corporation in the future depends on their own means. Moreover, there is another advantage. Although Murdoch has strong control over News Corporation, after all, the Murdoch family of the whole news corporation only controls about 30%.
I think there is such an opportunity. Maybe Murdoch will even take the initiative to let us occupy more voting rights. After all, the voting rights in the next 10 to 20 years are in his hands. In this way, Murdoch can really say one thing within News Corporation. "
"Boss, this is what you said about the so-called 'China's yangmou', right? You directly gave Rupert a difficult problem. In fact, your meaning is very obvious. If you have exercised the power for more than 10 years and 20 years, you can explain it directly to Rupert. I'll see it after you retire..."
"Ha ha... Barry, you have to understand that youth is my greatest capital." Hearing Barry's words, Li Feng laughed and said contentedly.
“...”
......
Looking at Li Feng with a little childish face, after all, he is only 18 years old. Even if Li Feng is still at the peak of integrity 20 years later, Murdoch and himself at that time are too old to walk.
At this time, when we look at our boss, Li Feng's half of the Oriental blood bonus makes Li Feng look much more immature than the 18-year-old young people in Europe and America. Barry Diller, a media boss who has been used to his boss being too "evil", is speechless again.
But Barry, the big man, doesn't know that Li Feng still hides the biggest bug, the only magician in the world. His future life has long exceeded the limit of the human body. Even when Li Feng was 8 or 90 years old, theoretically, Li Feng's body was still at the peak at that time.
"Well, boss, I'll try it first. At the same time, I'll wait for you to call Murdoch. I think the negotiations with Murdoch and news corporation may end soon." Barry thought about it and said to Li Feng.
"Of course, Barry, you know, I'm not interested in delaying a negotiation for months or even years, you know."
"Hehe... I'll wait for your good news!"
"That's OK. If there's nothing to do, go and be busy first. I'll go home first. There are a lot of people at home recently. I want to spend more time with my family."
"Boss, I haven't congratulated you yet!"
Obviously, Barry, who helped Li Feng control the media group, knows the situation at Li Feng's home. After all, most of Li Feng's women are Hollywood stars and signing stars of the media group and CAA, although Barry sometimes can't control these stars.
"Barry, when I finish talking with Murdoch, I will finish the negotiation with News Corporation as soon as possible and strive to go to Lanai Island for vacation before Christmas. How about that?"
"Oh, that's the best, of course, but it may be difficult. After all, Christmas doesn't have a few days."
"Well... I'll call Murdoch in a few days. As for the rest, let's do it.
By the way, since Lanai Island has become a fixed asset of the asset management department of the holding company, I will inform the other company executives of the group that I can go to Lanai Island for vacation at Christmas. I am responsible for all expenses this time. It can be regarded as a welfare for the senior managers of the group. I think Hawaii is still a good place for vacation. "
......
Yes, the ownership of Lanai Island is not in Li Feng's personal name, but on the company. Like the previous life's notes, it claims that it doesn't receive a salary, and all personal expenses are borne by the company. To a certain extent, it can avoid huge personal income tax, such as the living expenses of Li Feng, his own women and his family, Basically, they are all linked to Li Feng's investment holding company.
"OK, then I'll thank you on behalf of Tianyu!"
"Ha ha..."
“...”
After chatting with Barry Diller again and watching Barry Diller leave his office, Li Feng also talked to his new assistant Amy at this time, and then took Joseph and a security team directly back to the century manor.
"John, back!"
Before entering the villa, I saw Wang Siqing walking on the garden lawn.
"Sister Qing, how are you at home?"
"Not bad. By the way, I have agreed with Rosa and Sarah that we will go to Lanai Island together tomorrow. Don't you say Lanai Island already belongs to you?"
Li Feng told his women before that Lanai Island would belong to him after today. At this time, Wang Siqing greeted Li Feng curiously.
"Well, you see, this is the island purchase contract of Lanai Island.
As for the three of you going to Lanai Island in advance, that's OK. Anyway, we all discussed before. This Christmas, the whole family went to Lanai Island for vacation. You can take them around Lanai Island in advance. You can think about how to decorate the island in the future. After the Christmas holiday, I asked Adams to take professionals to Lanai Island, Then come up with a design scheme. After all, Lanai Island seems a little down and out now. What do you think? "
"Well, Lanai Island is really a very good private place. It will not be obviously desolate and can ensure privacy."
"That's right. I saw this and tried to take Lanai Island from Murdoch. Now I'm also the 'island owner'."
"Hee hee... John, what Island owner!"
"Rosa, Sarah, you're here. How do you feel?"
"It's very comfortable. There's no other trouble. Now I have a baby again. Thank you, John. I once thought I would be alone all my life."
"John, me too...!"
“...”
......
At this time, the two Xiangjiang goddesses said to Li Feng with emotion on their faces, which made Li Feng laugh for a while and then moved. After all, people are emotional animals. After living together for so long, they have understood the character of the two women.
Thinking of the ending of the two Xiangjiang goddesses in the 1980s and 1990s, Guan goblin stopped talking. She has been hovering among the rich without a good result. In fact, the ending of Zhang damiei is not good. Although it is said that she has a husband on the Internet, it seems that it was very late when she got married. At that time, Zhang damiei estimated that she had no chance to have children and had no children.
Being able to change the fate of some people, whether good or bad, is the greatest strength of a reborn person. For this, Li Feng is still a little proud in his heart.
