The Most Powerful Tycoon Reborn In Xiangjiang Chapter 642

  Kelly came to Chu Huan's manor. On the way, she already knew what happened and Chu Huan's attitude.

   But Kelly also understands that in this matter, she must also have an appeal, otherwise, the autonomy of Vertex Pictures will be doubted by Murdoch.

   "Regarding Mr. Murdoch's desire to acquire Disney, I personally have an open attitude towards this matter, but I personally hope that Mr. Murdoch can give us a sufficient amount of shares in News Corporation!"

  Murdoch raised his eyebrows slightly, although he also knew that it would not be easy to convince Kelly on this matter, even if Vertex Pictures' lack of control over Disney is already an open secret in Hollywood.

But it is almost impossible for any Hollywood filmmaker to give up on Disney like this. As long as this matter can be smoothed out, no one knows where Disney's influence will reach in the future. The most important thing is Yes, because of the cooperation with Youth Toys R Us, Disney's peripherals have begun to show their power.

   In this way, Vertex Pictures sold Disney's shares. If he were to sit in Kelly's position, Murdoch thought that he would not agree to this matter.

But Murdoch never thought that Kelly would open his mouth to seek a sufficient share of News Corporation. If this is the case, he would get Disney and lose News Corporation. Murdoch would definitely not agree to this situation. of.

"Miss Kelly, you are really a lion. It is impossible to match the shares of News Corporation with Disney's shares. Our News Corporation can only release 5% of the shares to Miss Kelly, and the rest can only be It was traded in cash."

  Murdoch spoke in a deep voice.

Kelly shook her head and said, "With Mr. Chu providing funds here, I'm not worried at all that News Corporation will be able to spend enough funds to acquire Disney shares, but this is obviously a bad deal for us. Who can see that with the support of Youth Toys R Us, our company Disney's peripherals have been more and more agreed. I have asked the financial department of Vertex Pictures to calculate it before, and it is only the income of this sum of money. , I think it will take less than five years for us to recover the cost."

  Murdoch waved his hand and said: "Miss Kelly only thinks about the income issue, doesn't she consider Disney's business issues?

Now the management of the entire Disney can be said to be on the side of the Jews. It will take at least a few years just to smooth out this relationship. By then, Miss Kelly will not know what price she will pay. , and there is a great possibility that there is no way to smooth it out.

But now if Ms. Kelly sells part of Disney's equity to our News Corporation, then the problems encountered by Ms. Kelly will not be a problem, and Vertex Pictures is still a shareholder of Disney. In this case, Miss Kelly's Giving can also be rewarded! "

Chu Huan also said out loud at this time: "Kelly, Mr. Murdoch's sincerity is still very high, and he wants to exchange Disney's shares for enough shares of News Corporation. I won't agree, if Kelly really wants to sell Disney, I think it's better to come up with a plan that everyone can accept?"

  Kelly raised her eyebrows and looked at Chu Huan and asked, "Director Chu, it seems that before I came, you had already reached some agreement with Mr. Murdoch?"

Chu Huan nodded and said: "That's right, HBO, our North American top league, will take part of the shares to buy shares in Mr. Murdoch's News Corporation. At the same time, News Corporation will also buy shares in HBO. In addition, I will personally contribute a sum of money to help Murdoch. Mr. Clark to acquire Disney's shares."

  Kelly laughed and said, "It seems that the two of you are already on the same front!?"

  Chu Huan said: "We are just looking for a way that can benefit all three of us."

  Kelly did not answer Chu Huan's words immediately, but fell silent. Murdoch was also looking at Chu Huan and Kelly seriously.

  The conversation between Chu Huan and Kelly just now made Murdoch a little confused. How should I put it, the behavior of Chu Huan and Kelly was too normal.

   It really sounded like two people who were negotiating, coupled with the relationship between himself and Kelly described by Chu Huan earlier, it didn't make much sense.

   But the more this happened, the more Murdoch was a little suspicious. Are the two of them acting for themselves, or is it really the case.

I can't blame Murdoch for thinking too much. If this deal is really settled in the future, then Chu Huan's HBO and Kelly's Vertex Pictures will hold 10% of News Corporation's shares. It is already a large shareholding.

Even Murdoch himself only holds 29.18% of the shares in News Corporation. If News Corporation needs to raise funds again in the future and has a larger acquisition, then Murdoch's own shareholding in News Corporation is bound to decline. .

  If Chu Huan continues to increase his stake in News Corporation at this time, it is very likely that one day in the future, Chu Huan's stake in News Corporation will surpass his own?

  Thinking of this possibility, Murdoch broke out in a cold sweat.

   But then this frightening thought was suppressed by another voice in Murdoch's mind.

  The most critical point is Chu Huan's identity!

  Chu Huan is Chinese!

  His status is doomed to be unable to truly control News Corporation. As for Kelly, she may get help from Chu Huan in the future to cause trouble for herself in the holding of News Corporation.

  But regarding this situation, Murdoch also has his own thoughts, that is, the same as Vertex Pictures has no way to control Disney now, and the capital side of News Corporation will still stand on his side.

   Moreover, the addition of Chu Huan and the others actually helped him to curb many ideas of the capital side in News Corporation to a certain extent.

  Running a sufficiently large listed group is a very challenging art. After thinking for a long time, Murdoch believes that the current development of News Corporation cannot be given up because of the problems that may be faced in the future.

   To put it bluntly, Disney's strategic significance to News Corporation is too important. After missing this opportunity, it doesn't necessarily take long to have such an opportunity in the future!

Just when Murdoch was thinking about this matter, Kelly also spoke and said: "Well, since Mr. Murdoch wants Disney, and we at Vertex Pictures also want to sell Disney, I can sell 51% of Disney." Mr. Murdoch's shares, but at the same time I have a few conditions!"

  Murdoch had already considered it at this time, and said: "Miss Kelly, please tell me, as long as it is not the condition just now, we can discuss it!"

Kelly said: "First, after accepting Disney, Mr. Murdoch will expel those Jews who took the lead in making trouble at Disney this time. I don't want them to stay in Disney! Second, Vertex Pictures and As Disney's joint shareholder, News Corp. should share resources, and Vertex Pictures needs Disney's distribution channels!”

Murdoch frowned a little. Kelly's two conditions were the second most easy to handle. Now that Apex Pictures has the two IPs of "Rocky" and "Star Wars", it is already a top film production company in Hollywood. , if it is responsible for the film distribution channel of Vertex Pictures, Disney will also make money.

But Kelly's first condition is a bit difficult to handle. Those Jews have worked in Disney for a long time, and Murdoch has just entered Hollywood, and he also needs these Jews to continue to expand Disney's business, but now Kelly proposes to let Get these guys out yourself.

"Miss Kelly, I understand your anger towards these people very well, but you should know that it is precisely because of these people that Disney's normal rotation can be guaranteed. If you lose these people, let's not talk about Disney's own loss Well, even those Jews in Hollywood would have an opinion!"

Kelly shook her head and said, "That's not something I need to worry about, but Mr. Murdoch, if you want to buy Disney's shares, you must do so. If not, I would rather keep Disney in my hands. The big deal is that in the end, everyone will shoot and break up!"

  Murdoch looked at Kelly incomprehensibly, and asked aloud: "Miss Kelly, can I ask, you know that this is an irrational approach, why do you still do it?"

Kelly said calmly: "Because I am a woman! Don't you, Mr. Murdoch, know that women are naturally narrow-minded? These people have made me feel like a chicken feather and duck blood during this time, if I let them do things so easily If there is none, I will not agree to anything!"

  Murdoch: "."

  Finally, Murdoch looked at Chu Huan helplessly, hoping that Chu Huan could say something nice for him. For such a reason, it was simply too childish!

  Chu Huan spread his arms out, expressing that he had nothing to do.

  In the end, Murdoch could only grit his teeth and say: "No problem, I agree to Miss Kelly on both of these conditions, but I also have two conditions!"

  Kelly asked: "Mr. Murdoch, please speak!"

Murdoch said: "First, I hope to get a part of your company's investment shares in the two projects of "Rocky" and "Star Wars". Second, I ask for 70% of Disney's shares, not 51% of the shares. !"

  Although Murdoch has already obtained a part of the investment share of "Star Wars" from Chu Huan before, but for such a chicken that can lay golden eggs, Murdoch must hope that the more the better!

Kelly didn't answer Murdoch immediately, but looked at Chu Huan and asked, "Director Chu, I think you must have sold a part of the investment share of "Star Wars" to News Corp. Bar?"

  Chu Huan nodded with a smile and said: "Black and white video is going to sell 10% of the investment share to News Corporation!"

Kelly nodded, then looked at Murdoch and said: "Yes, our company can also sell 10% of the investment share to News Corporation. As for the "Rocky" project, it is also 10% of the investment share, but in exchange, If there are movies produced by Disney in the future that we like at Vertex Pictures, we should also sell an equal investment share to us in the future!"

  Murdoch has no objection to Kelly's conditions. The more the two parties cooperate, the closer the bond will be. This is already the most important thing for a company of their level.

When it comes to Chu Huan, a company of Murdoch's size, they are no longer simply pursuing the profit of a certain project, they are pursuing the influence on this industry, as long as they have enough influence on this industry power, then they can set the rules in this industry.

   And this ability is commonly known as monopoly!

  Although News Corp., Vertex Pictures, and North America's top film industry do not have enough roots in Hollywood, they have an unlimited future.

  First of all, Chu Huan has sufficient funds in his hands. Murdoch's one-eighth Jewish ancestry is enough for him to protect the company from Jewish attacks in the early stage, and Vertex Pictures has the trump card project "Star Wars" in its hands.

  Then the three of them can have an absolute right to speak in Disney, a specific company that wields the sword, which makes them qualified to impact the specified rules in this industry.

   That's enough!

  Chu Huan said with a smile: "It happens that I also have two conditions that I hope you can accept!"

  Murdoch and Kelly no longer confronted each other before, and looked at Chu Huan carefully at the same time.

  Murdoch laughed and said, "I don't know what conditions President Chu has!"

Chu Huan said: "Last year, Xiangjiang's Black and White Media relied on the energy of North America and Europe to buy Lowe's Cinemas and Maple Leaf Cinemas in North America and Europe, and they are still preparing to build their own new theaters. , I hope that in the future these two theaters can strengthen the cooperation with the two companies!"

  Actually, Kelly knew about this matter a long time ago, and she has such an expression now, just to cooperate with Chu Huan's acting, but Murdoch doesn't know everything!

Murdoch only knew that North America Jiaku had bought Lowe Cinema, a medium-sized cinema company in North America, but he didn't know that Lowe Cinema had been expanding during this period, and he didn't even know that Chu Huan's black and white media actually It also acquired Maple Leaf Cinemas in Europe.

  That is the largest cinema company in Europe!

   "Mr. Chu, your move is too fast. I only know that last year, Maple Leaf Cinemas in Europe was sold, but I never thought that this theater company was acquired by your black and white media!"

   At this time, News Corporation is already one of the largest media groups in Europe. It stands to reason that the news should be very sensitive, but how to say it?

  At this time, Europe and North America still maintain their usual prejudice against the East. Except for Japan, I am afraid they have not investigated any other places in depth.

  So after learning that Maple Leaf Cinemas was sold to a mysterious company in the East, they simply believed that this was just an acquisition by the Japanese in Europe.

  Murdoch said that he never expected that it would be Chu Huan's black and white media that bought Maple Leaf Cinemas.

  Of course, this is also related to the secrecy of the original acquisition and the fact that Maple Leaf Cinemas is not a listed company.

  Chu Huan said with a smile: "The two of you should be able to understand that according to the cultural differences between the East and the West, it is impossible for Xiangjiang's films to enter the mainstream markets in Europe and America.

  Since it is impossible to make a film, then we can only find other routes to save the country! "

Murdoch said with a smile: "Mr. Chu, the benefits are not limited to these. Although it is impossible for Xiangjiang's films to enter the mainstream market in Europe and America due to the cultural differences between the East and the West, art theaters entering the European and American markets must be No problem, in fact, European audiences are still very interested in oriental movies. For example, when I was in Europe, I saw that many European audiences would choose some oriental martial arts movies to go back to watch.

  Now, Mr. Chu holds the hands of the largest cinema company in North America and Europe. In the future, as long as Xiangjiang's films and even the entire Asian films want to enter these two markets, they cannot do without the support of Mr. Chu.

To put it simply, with the addition of Xiangjiang and Asian theater companies, Director Chu should have monopolized the entire Asian film industry at this time, and even in the near future, I think Hollywood and European film companies will definitely pay attention to Director Chu. Ask for help! "

   This time Murdoch really admired Chu Huan!

   Without anyone noticing, Chu Huan has already controlled the global distribution network.

  If this is the case, even if Chu Huan does not have any production company in Hollywood, then Chu Huan must already be the most powerful person in Hollywood.

   No wonder, with the huge sales of "Star Wars", no Hollywood film company has come to Chu Huan to find out about purchasing the investment share of "Star Wars".

  The reason should be here.

The investment share of "Star Wars" is indeed very exciting, but at this time Chu Huan holds theaters in the three major regions of North America, Europe, and Asia. As long as Hollywood production companies want their own films to be released, they must Deal with Chu Huan.

   That's why they can be so calm!

  If Chu Huan knew what Murdoch was thinking, he would definitely praise him.

   Murdoch also thought about the future.

  After these Hollywood production companies got used to working with black and white media, they couldn't do without Chu Huan at that time.

  No matter how united a group is, it is impossible to ignore the key factor of interest.

However, it was Chu Huan who told Murdoch the news, which made Murdoch more firm about one thing, that is, the relationship between Chu Huan and Kelly was really as Chu Huan said. Too much entanglement, if the relationship between the two of them is closer.

  Kelly can use this matter as a condition to negotiate terms with Jews in Hollywood!

   But now that Kylie has agreed to throw away control of Disney to herself, the idea doesn't hold up.

   "Mr. Chu, it seems that neither I nor Ms. Kelly will be able to do without your support from Mr. Chu!"

  Chu Huan said with a smile: "Murdoch, you are wrong, how can we say that we support each other, but a relationship of mutual support!"

   Murdoch immediately laughed and said: "Yes, it is mutual support!"

  At this time, Murdoch has reason to be happy. Not only has his appeal today been resolved, but he has also overfulfilled the task this time.

  Before Chu Huan told the news, he was still worried about how he would fire those Jews in Disney, but now Murdoch can completely ignore this matter.

Because Chu Huan already has theaters in the three most developed regions in the world at this time. With the support of theaters in these three regions, Murdoch can have more influence in the Hollywood Jewish group. The right to speak.

   And those few cannon fodder are naturally not worth mentioning!

  At noon, Murdoch and Kelly stayed in Chu Huan's manor and enjoyed today's lunch with Chu Huan. During the meal, the three parties had more discussions on the details of cooperation.

   Today's lunch is actually the same as the dinner that Chu Huan hosted those top political and business leaders in Japan. In the next twenty years, their three-party cooperation will change the entire Hollywood landscape.

   "Honey, how was my performance just now?"

  After Murdoch left Chu Huan's manor, Kelly excitedly kept Chu Huan's arm and asked happily.

  Kelly is naturally very happy to be able to turn Disney, a weakling in the hands of Vertex Pictures, into treasure at this moment.

  Chu Huan smiled: "Apex Pictures can ask you to be the leading role in the next movie!"

  Kelly laughed immediately, but after laughing, Kelly also asked Chu Huan about what happened just now.

   "It is a surprise to be able to cooperate with Murdoch's News Corporation this time. If we can secretly acquire the shares of News Corporation in the future, is it possible?"

  Chu Huan knew what Kelly was thinking, and said with a smile: "At least we can't do this when Murdoch is still managing News Corporation."

  Although a shopping mall is like a battlefield, no matter what kind of battlefield it is, rules must be followed.

   Not to mention Murdoch's influence in various countries. As the boss of one of the world's largest media groups, Murdoch's influence is absolutely beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

  If possible, Chu Huan does not want to be an enemy of Murdoch. After all, if the two sides can continue to cooperate sweetly like this, then their influence will be absolutely unprecedented.

  Of course, Chu Huan will definitely not be satisfied with this, and the plan that Ma Jizu implemented before will definitely continue. Chu Huan's real goal is to establish a global media group of his own.

   When Chu Huan can openly admit to the world that he is the media company located all over the world, then Chu Huan's global influence will truly reach its peak.

   But this is destined to take a long time, and at that time, Chu Huan will not be able to announce it publicly, as long as the political leaders of various countries know about it.

   "Then I'll come back at night?"

  Kelly was ready to leave after knowing Chu Huan's thoughts. After all, the cooperation with Murdoch was just a verbal mutual commitment between the three parties.

   There are still many problems in the details.

   These things need Kelly to go back and explain to the people in the company.

  Chu Huan nodded and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you here tonight!"

  Kelly left here after sending a sweet kiss to Chu Huan.

  After Kelly left, Chu Huan asked Wu Shuhan, "David Maxwell, what are Lewis doing?"

  Lewis is now the president of HBO.

  Kelly needs to discuss this matter with the people from Vertex Pictures about the details, and Chu Huan also needs it.

  Wu Shuhan said: "David should be discussing with the senior management of Alder Commercial Bank to set up branches in Xiangjiang and Japan. Lewis should be attending the global conference of black and white media!"

  Chu Huan said: "Call the hotel and ask them to put down their work temporarily and come to my place. We need to discuss this matter with them!"

For Chu Huan, buying a stake in News Corporation is absolutely beneficial and harmless. Moreover, Chu Huan is now taking advantage of this matter and will become Murdoch's biggest creditor. This is a very good opportunity that can be used. point!

  Wu Shuhan nodded and said, "I'm going to make a call now!"

   Not long after, David Maxwell and Lewis came to Chu Huan's manor, and then they learned the whole thing from Chu Huan's mouth.

After listening to David, he said directly and excitedly: "Chairman, this business is too worthwhile. If we can become a shareholder of News Corporation, our company's influence will immediately increase by several levels, and even wait until the future." When News Corporation's influence in North America is getting bigger and bigger, we may all apply for public TV channels for HBO!"

  Chu Huan is very happy that David Maxwell has this naive idea. As long as everyone knows that HBO is Chu Huan's industry, it is impossible for HBO to become a public channel in North America.

Of course, it is not impossible to take the road of saving the country with curves. For example, in the future, HBO may be sold to Vertex Pictures for more shares. At that time, HBO may become a subsidiary of Vertex Pictures. At that time, HBO It is possible to want to become a public channel.

   But Chu Huan understands that no matter whether HBO becomes a public channel or not, it still has to go unswervingly on its own path.

   The big deal is to use acquisitions to acquire a North American public channel!

   But still the same sentence, this matter still has a long way to go, so take your time.

  Chu Huan still has a lot of time.

   "The two of you are here now to discuss the details of this matter. In addition, David, you have to prepare a sum of cash to lend to Murdoch!"

  David Maxwell asked with some doubts: "Why not take the route of Alder Commercial Bank, which can also increase the cooperation between Alder Commercial Bank and News Corporation!"

Chu Huan waved his hand and said: "Alder Commercial Bank is too sensitive, especially now that it is planning to open branches in Xiangjiang and Japan at the same time. If Alder Commercial Bank lends Murdoch so much money at one time, it will easily cause trouble. It has caused some depositors to panic, and if someone wants to do something at this time, it will still be more troublesome!"

   Regarding the development of Alder Commercial Bank, Chu Huan has identified one line, that is stability!

In Xiangjiang, Japan has caught up with the establishment of a branch, otherwise Chu Huan will definitely choose to enter separately. After the business in the two places is completed, Chu Huan will let David Maxwell set his sights on the European financial market. !
