Chapter 411： Lao Mo digs a hole

Two hours later, at 9 a.m. local time in London, it was raining lightly, and the Sky TV headquarters in Isleworth looked rather bleak. This headquarters building that witnessed the rise of Sky Broadcasting Corporation is about to become a thing of the past. The current new headquarters center building It will soon be topped and enter the interior decoration stage.

Of course, Yang Cheng is not interested in where to meet. What interests him is the current situation of the Murdoch family. Since Lao Mo and Wendy broke up, his two sons and one daughter have fallen into an endless cycle of infighting. in.

Three years ago due to the eavesdropping, the second son who was forced to resign, and also Lao Mo’s favorite son, James Murdoch, has been at home for a long time. It is said that he intends to come out again. Lao Mo is going to be the CEO of 21st Century Fox. In the hands of James, everyone knows what this means, because last year News Corporation conducted a world-renowned split, splitting 21st Century Fox and News Corporation into two non-interference groups.

After the spin-off, 21st Century Fox, which is in charge of media businesses such as TV and film in the United States, has an annual revenue of more than 10 times that of News Corporation. It is almost the core and most important industry of the Murdoch family. Reason, its intention is self-evident.

However, this has inevitably caused dissatisfaction with his eldest son, the prince La Coron Murdoch, because since he became Fox Chief Operating Officer, he has been working hard for the company without any negligence and no complaints. , Made great contributions to Fox's success, but at the last moment, he was seized by his brother with a sword. It was unbearable.

Similarly, James Murdoch’s sister, Elizabeth, is not a good match. She sold her property to News Corporation two years ago to break into the center of the vortex of family fighting, although she knows how she works. Neither can shake the position of the two sons in Lao Mo's heart, but she will never give in to the interests she should fight for. Her goal is the news company after the spin-off.

Yang Cheng’s blood boiled over such a lively Gongdou drama. It’s more interesting than watching Zhen Huan. After all, this happened before his eyes, and he also played a small role in this big drama. Wendy on the head waited eagerly for Yang Cheng to help her!

Standing at the door for a while, looking up at the rain that did not diminish in the slightest, Yang Cheng exhaled heavily, as if cheering on herself, wearing a white lady's suit and a pretty face of Su Su and Ji. A bodyguard entered the door aggressively, and after docking with the front desk, under the leadership of the staff, he went straight to the large conference room.

The slightly old conference room, Yang Cheng was frightened by a burst of voices before he even got in. Is this a board of directors or a vegetable market?

Without giving him time to hesitate, the staff helped him push them away. Fortunately, the group of successful people in suits and leather shoes were not paying attention to the door, and the admission of Yang Cheng and Su Su did not attract the attention of others.

It wasn't until he randomly found a spot to sit for a while, the first Lao Mo realized that there were two more people at the scene, pushed his glasses, and cried out in surprise, "Jason? When did you come? Why didn't you tell me? "

The major shareholders have spoken, and the minority shareholders are not quick to retreat?

The voice gradually extinguished, and the audience looked over with 20 pairs of eyes, with puzzled expressions on their faces. Yang Cheng's face is still easy to recognize, and the recent movement is not small, even if not. Knowing the name also feels familiar, no one jumped out and said that he did not know him, but the question is why Yang Cheng appeared on the board of Sky Broadcasting Corporation?

The matter of Yang Cheng becoming the second largest shareholder and joining the board of directors has not been announced, except for Lao Mo, everyone is kept in the dark.

"I have been here for a while, and seeing everyone discussing enthusiastically, I am not ashamed to interrupt." Yang Cheng's insinuation was personally audible, but no one refuted it. It was a bit embarrassing just now.

Lao Mo smiled, stood up and pointed to Yang Cheng and introduced, "You are here just right. Before the board of directors starts, I will announce a good news to everyone. I will not talk nonsense about who this is. Today he holds shares of Sky Broadcasting Corporation. The second largest shareholder reaching 13% is also our new board member to join our team. This is our luck and an important sign of the company moving further. Ladies and gentlemen, let us use the most Warm applause, welcome to Jason."

Regrettably, Yang Cheng did not participate in the board of directors after 6.9% of Zheng Jiaxuan's shares were acquired. Otherwise, more than 20% of the shares would be more deterrent.

Yang Cheng also got up, smiled politely in several directions, and nodded slightly, "Thank you Rupert for the welcome, I will work with everyone to make the best effort for the future of Sky Broadcasting."

When all the participants did not respond, Lao Mo and Yang Cheng tacitly completed the entry declaration, as if they had no intention of asking other people.

In fact, whether Yang Cheng can enter the board of directors does not require the consent of others. The combined shares of him and Lao Mo are enough to control everything on the board.

"So, what's today's topic?" Yang Cheng asked after being seated again and automatically assuming the role.

"We are just discussing the rights to live broadcast of the Premier League for the next three years. By the way, Jason, you are the boss of Liverpool. You should have participated in the Premier League joint meeting a few days ago. I wonder if there is any information to share with us."

Yang Cheng's heart shuddered. Originally, he thought that Lao Mo had changed his mind and sincerely welcomed him, but he didn't expect that he was hiding a knife in his smile, waiting for him here while digging a hole.

Lao Mo’s question is quite heart-breaking. Yang Cheng participated in the Sky Broadcasting Company’s board of directors for the first time. If he did not come up with some real information, he would easily be isolated by the original director. Of course, it would not matter if Yang Cheng didn’t care, but Yang Orange also hopes to acquire the shares in the hands of this group of people, so naturally they can't make the relationship froze.

But if something really broke out, it would have to be passed to the Premier League, which is even more unfavorable to him. After all, he is still planning to take all the copyright of the Premier League in North America.

Not only that, what is more serious than his isolation on the Sky side is that it will arouse the resentment of other Premier League clubs. If it is not good, they will attack them. Even Abu and Mansour who have a good relationship with him will not help him. It is good not to fall into trouble. After all, once Yang Cheng said something, it was leaking the news, which affected the interests of other clubs. Without reason, Yang Cheng did not have the confidence to fight back.

The scene was silent. Everyone was waiting for Yang Cheng's answer. Lao Mo had a faint smile on his face. How ironic he looked in Yang Cheng's eyes, is this old guy gloating?

"Asshole, when I buy Sky TV, see if your old boy is still in the mood to laugh." Yang Cheng stared at Lao Mo with cold eyes, swearing in his heart.

But now it's useless to scold anything, and the current problem has been solved before there is a chance to retaliate against Lao Mo.
