Chapter 85 The Lobbyist
Chen Yun changed into dry clothes and came down. An Ruisi and the others came out again, asked the servant to bring a cup of hot tea, and stood in front of the large French window, watching the heavy rain outside the window while sipping tea.

The pouring rain was accompanied by lightning and thunder, and large drops of rainwater hit the windows with a crackling sound, splashing countless small water droplets.Water droplets from high places slide down and merge with more water droplets to draw earthworm-like lines on the window, just like mysterious patterns one after another, attracting people's attention. A starting point chases the end point, and the spirit is completely immersed in the beauty of nature.

The weather in New York is entering February, and the daytime temperature is gradually rising. People still feel hot after putting on short sleeves. In the hall, I saw Chen Yun standing in front of the window like a statue, his breath was completely integrated with nature, An Ruisi took a camera, and captured the black clouds outside the window, the torrential rain and Chen Yun in the bright room. The effect is like a work of art.

The clicking sound of the camera awakened Chen Yun, and he turned his head to look. An Ruisi held the camera and smiled sweetly at him. Kelly and Mona next to him looked at him. Chen Yun walked over and said with a slight smile, "Everyone sit down, let's sit down." Standing is not the way of hospitality in our house."

After everyone was seated, Chen Yun fondled Kelly's head and asked with a smile, "Does our little princess like this dress? I don't like my brother taking you to buy it again." Kelly was wearing a pale pink silk and The knee skirt, coupled with her rosy skin, made her look like a cute little princess.

"I like it very much, thank you brother." Kelly stood up and thanked Chen Yun happily as a princess.

"Just like it. Kelly, don't be polite to brother, or brother will be angry. Would Kelly drink tea or juice?" Knowing that the result would be fruit juice, Chen Yun couldn't help teasing Kelly.

"Tea." Unexpectedly, Kelly chose tea. Chen Yun was stunned, and asked curiously: "Why? Tea is very bitter, but the juice is sweet and delicious."

"Because my brother drinks tea." Kelly raised her face and said seriously, as if to reiterate that this is an extremely important matter.

Chen Yun couldn't help laughing. Drinking tea in moderation is very good for children's health. It can increase digestion, clear away heat and reduce fire, and prevent dental caries. He ordered the servant to bring three cups of hot tea, and specially prepared a small cup of warm tea for Kelly. Kelly picked up the tea and took a small sip, and found that it was much better than the last time. After swallowing, she felt that the whole mouth was full of fragrance, and she couldn't help but like tea. After the fragrance in her mouth faded, she took another sip , Turn left and right in the mouth before swallowing.

After Chen Yun saw that Kelly got used to tea so quickly, he couldn't find a topic for a while, so he turned his head and asked Mengna, "Mengna, are you from the Kennedy family?" He kept this question in his mind for a long time. The story is familiar to him who does not care about politics. The Apollo moon landing project, the main person in charge of the "one small step for me, one giant leap for mankind" event, defeated Nixon head-on for the presidency, and supported the Cold War with the Soviet Union , with a tough attitude towards the Soviet Union, forcing the Soviet Union to make concessions several times, and was also a member of the US President's assassination list.

"The famous President Kennedy in history is my grandfather." Meng Na sipped her tea lightly and said calmly. "Actually, besides accompanying Kelly, I have another mission today."

"Mission?" Chen Yun put down his cup and looked at An Ruisi. An Ruisi didn't even raise her eyelids as if she didn't hear it. Chen Yun looked at Mengna in doubt.

"It's like this. Our Kennedy family wants to cooperate with you to discuss a business. I wonder if you have heard of Murdoch's News Corporation?" The eyes solemnly said.

Chen Yun nodded. Of course he has heard of News Corp. The world's largest news media, the famous conspiracy tycoon Rupert Murdoch, how could he not know about it.

"In 09, News Corporation fell into a huge operating loss, and its market value dropped from more than 07 billion in 500 to 150 billion now. This is a good opportunity for annexation. We would like to cooperate with you to operate this unprecedented acquisition." Meng Na stretched out her right hand and clenched her fist in the air to strengthen her tone.

Picking up the teacup, Chen Yun's mind turned sharply. He majored in finance. In the first half of 09, he conducted some research on News Corporation's finances. He found that the reason for News Corporation's losses was not the reason Murdoch said that traditional media were being suppressed. Emerging Internet media squeezed into the corner, but because Murdoch was old and did not have the energy to lead the group forward under such a complicated situation, and made very stupid acquisitions several times. The top managers were all family members, and the management became one Big problems and various problems were finally exposed under the financial turmoil.

"In terms of assets, I am not as good as many people. I believe that you, as a member of the consortium, can also know that. In terms of people, I don't even have one. I want to know why you chose me to cooperate?" Chen Yun put down his teacup and let his body sink into softness. In the sofa, said slowly.The Kennedy family has only been a member of a new consortium for just a few decades, and their financial resources are far inferior to those of the old consortiums such as Morgan and Rockefeller, but their political influence cannot be underestimated. They want to With the acquisition of News Corporation, Chen Yun can also understand that in modern times, public opinion can be influenced only by standing at the top of the discussion.

"Yes, your assets are not comparable to many people, but you are the only one with a lot of cash, and we don't want to cooperate with other consortiums, which is extremely detrimental to us. If you cooperate with us, you are our ally of interest , we will help you politically, and there will be no such thing as your work being banned from sale next time." Meng Na obviously thought about how to deal with Chen Yun's problem countless times in her mind, and without thinking Reply.

Seemingly frank, yet seductive, Chen Yun remained silent. He really wanted the United States to release his future works, not just for money, but more importantly, for recognition. Morgan and Rockefeller were unwilling to offend Mellon because of him, and they themselves I should find a strong ally. After thinking about it, I decided to continue listening to the conditions of the Kennedy family. "I do have the money, but your conditions are not enough."

"What we can give you is political things. If you choose us, you choose to cooperate with the United States. You are a member of the entertainment industry. It is also a great opportunity for you to own News Corporation. According to what we have obtained According to the news, due to the actual slowdown in economic growth, consortiums from various countries are looking for new investment industries, most likely the entertainment industry, a potential industry with an annual growth rate of 8%. The output value of the entertainment industry has reached RMB 8 trillion, with an average annual growth rate of [-]%. The industry has entered a mature growth period, and its prospects will become bigger and bigger as the income of residents increases.

Many consortium giants turned to another economy when their physical resources were almost divided. This is also the reason why they tested the Internet in 00 and caused the global Internet bubble. After a few years, they have almost recovered. 07 The financial crisis broke out again, making everyone afraid to act rashly. Now that the storm has passed, they set their sights on the entertainment industry again.
