Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 2404 Ventilation
Since he wanted to acquire Fox, Lin Daoqiu naturally had to communicate with his second largest shareholder, Twain Morgan.

After all, once Fox is successfully purchased by then, Lin Daoqiu will definitely merge it into New Oriental Pictures, so this time the acquisition of Fox Murdoch will also have to pay together.

After making a phone call to Twain Morgan, Lin Daoqiu was going to tell the other party about the acquisition of Fox.

"Are you going to buy Fox? Well... quite an idea."

After Twain Morgan learned that Lin Daoqiu was interested in acquiring Fox and that he had already contacted Murdoch, he knew that he must be playing for real.

Tang En Morgan is definitely not as clear as Lin Daoqiu about movies, but if Fox is really bought by Lin Daoqiu, the strength of New Oriental Pictures will definitely only increase.

"I have no objection to the acquisition of Fox. Is there anything I can do for you?"

"No, but I hope that we will split the purchase price at that time, because once Fox is bought, the company will definitely be merged into New Oriental Pictures."

It is impossible for Lin Daoqiu to spend his own money to buy Fox, and then let the Morgan consortium occupy [-]% of the shares of New Oriental Pictures, so he will suffer a big loss.

So while he was buying Fox, if the Morgan consortium wanted to keep [-]% of the shares, it had to pay for Fox together with Lin Daoqiu.

But if Twain Morgan or the Morgan consortium is unwilling to pay the money, then Lin Daoqiu can only cut an equal amount from their shares, and he must communicate with Twain Morgan.

"You know, I just spent 130 billion to acquire "Reader's Times" and New Oriental Pictures. At this time, you want me to spend money again. Isn't that a bit bad?"

Although the Morgan consortium is very rich, it doesn't mean that Dunn Morgan spent it alone.

This time, in order to acquire 130% of the shares of the two companies, Twain Morgan has already paid out 80 billion US dollars. You must know that this was at the end of the 100s, and [-] billion is by no means a small amount, even in the era when Lin Daoqiu traveled. the same.

"Mr. Tang En should know more about business matters than I do. Now Fox is in a trough. If you don't buy it now, you will have to pay several times more if you want to buy it later..."

Lin Daoqiu didn't lie. Fox's current situation is actually not good. If it weren't for this, Murdoch would not be able to buy half of the company's shares, and it was still at a low price.

"How much do you think it will cost to acquire Fox?"

Tang En Morgan seemed to have been persuaded by Lin Daoqiu, and now he wanted to know how much Lin Daoqiu would spend to buy Fox.

"I think the price of about 15 billion is a very reasonable price, of course it is [-]% of the shares."

It was impossible for Lin Daoqiu to spend 15 billion to buy half of Murdoch's shares, but Lin Daoqiu still gave the other party several times the premium. He believed that Murdoch would not refuse such a large sum of money.

And what I want is only Fox's film company, and those things from the TV station will still be left to Murdoch, unless he is crazy, he will refuse his offer.

As for those scattered large and small shareholders, there is no need to worry. Once they can handle Murdoch, if they don't want to sell themselves, there are ways to deal with them.

"5000 million? Well, then follow the price you said, but it must not exceed it."

Tang En Morgan agreed to Lin Daoqiu's request to acquire Fox after a little thought.

In fact, according to Lin Daoqiu's personality in the past, he has always said what he said, but now after cooperating with the Morgan consortium, he must communicate with the other party for a move such as acquiring another company.

Although Lin Daoqiu found himself a Morgan consortium as a backer, sometimes everything will not be easier than before with a backer.

"Thank you very much for your trust, I will deal with this matter as soon as possible."

"Do you need my help? I know that guy Murdoch is a stubborn old man, and you just opened a "Reader's Times", which is also a competitor for him. I'm afraid he has already developed a resistance to you."

Tang En Morgan actually offered to help Lin Daoqiu this time, which is a rare thing.

However, Lin Daoqiu didn't think it was necessary to use the Morgan consortium to deal with Murdoch. At least so far, he didn't think he couldn't handle Murdoch with his own ability.

"No need for now, I will call you if necessary."

"Well, if you need my help, just ask, after all, we are partners."

After chatting with Twain Morgan, Lin Daoqiu doesn't have to worry about any changes in the acquisition plan. The only variable now is Murdoch himself.

"I think if we go to Murdoch now, he will definitely not agree to us, and it is very likely that the lion will open his mouth."

When Lin Daoqiu proposed to talk to Murdoch again, Richardson objected.

He felt that it was impossible for Murdoch to change his mind so quickly in such a short period of time, and Richardson felt that at least he would have to wait for a while.

"I'm not afraid of him talking too loudly. I've already talked with Dunn, and he agreed to my proposed acquisition plan. Therefore, the only resistance we have to acquire Fox is Murdoch."

Richardson nodded as he listened. If the Morgan consortium had already nodded, then this matter would be a lot easier.

"How about I go to find out the way for you first, even if my talks with them fail, it won't affect the overall situation."

Richardson intends to replace Lin Daoqiu to test the other party's intentions. If Murdoch still insists not to sell, then they may have to think of some other ways.

Lin Daoqiu thought about it, and he thought Richardson's proposal was a good one, so he nodded and agreed.

"It's best to find a way to test out their reserve price. Of course, if it exceeds one billion US dollars, then don't talk about it. I never thought about making Murdoch earn too much."

· At that time, Murdoch only spent 5000 million to buy half of Fox's shares. If he had to spend four times the price to buy his shares, Lin Daoqiu would naturally not accept it.

"Don't worry, I believe that the people at "News Corporation" shouldn't be so greedy. Although this is an acquisition proposed by us, if they go too far, they have to consider the consequences."

If it was in the past, Lin Daoqiu really had nothing to do with "News Corporation", but now the situation is completely different. You must know that the Morgan Consortium is standing behind MGM. Even if Murdoch looks down on Lin Daoqiu, but the Morgan Consortium It's impossible to ignore it, right?
