Marvel Sun God

You know, 20th Century Fox is a subsidiary of 21st Century Fox, and their destiny is in the hands of the parent company.Now the parent company has changed hands, which means that everything they have is equivalent to falling into the hands of the richest man Wang.With everything they did to Wang Shoufu before, he was really not sure whether Wang Shoufu would give him any shoes in the future.

And don't forget, the reason why Wharton came to do this kind of forcing the palace was entirely because of his agitation.If it hadn't been for him to get the news and tried his best to stop all of this, things wouldn't have deteriorated to this point so quickly.He has a ghost in his heart, it is inevitable.So naturally, he was unavoidably frightened by these subtle changes today.

Fortunately, no one paid attention to him at this moment.Even if he was the richest man who had a feast with him, he didn't think much of him at this time.After all, he is busy with major events now, and which of these major events is more important than caring about him.So naturally, putting him aside is an understandable thing.

Lucky enough, the CEO of 20th Century Fox immediately squeezed a cold sweat in his heart.And just when he thought everything could pass like this, there was a sudden burst of noise from downstairs.

It is as if there are hundreds of people parading and noisy underneath, even if they are on the height of these dozens of stories, they can hear clearly.

"what's going on?"

It was a great day, but such things happened one after another.This made Wang's richest man suddenly uncomfortable.He hurriedly asked the surrounding management team, and those in the management team were also helpless for such a question.They talked about each other, and obviously they were a little bit helpless about such a problem.At this moment, the assistant outside suddenly rushed in and shouted directly at them.

"No good, gentlemen. The 20th Century Fox employees suddenly rushed over. They were protesting against Mr. Wang's entry into the 21st Century Fox. They asked the board to give them a promise. They wanted the board to reject Wang. Mr.'s acquisition!"

"What, it's a nonsense. What are they coming to join in!"

There was a sudden burst of noise in the shareholder group, and the managers who followed them also made annoying noise.They were all surprised by this situation. There was only one person, only Fox's ceo, but at this time he suddenly sat on the ground.

He knew that he was finished, completely finished!

Chapter 1307 Transferring the target public opinion storm

In order to calm down the turmoil caused by a certain idiot, Wang Shoufu had to promise a lot of things against his will.For example, he promised not to take the initiative to lay off employees within a certain number of years, promised to keep the number of American employees, and he also promised to increase salary.

For a capitalist, this is definitely not something they are willing to take the initiative to do, but in order to appease the emotions of employees, for the most important plan of the moment, he can only make compromises.

Of course, the compromise is only for ordinary employees.Like the management who planned these, especially the idiot.Even if he ignores the disgust in his own heart, and simply thinks about the stability of the company, he absolutely cannot let these guys stay here.

Fuck off is already inevitable, but such a thing is not worthy of Wang Shoufu himself to operate.Rather than wasting time on this kind of thing, he needs to put his effort on his most important plan at the moment.

Time Warner, the second goal in his plan with Tony.But for this goal, the richest man Wang was actually not so satisfied.The reason is simple. Although Time Warner is huge, it can be regarded as a giant in Hollywood.However, the entire Time Warner industry is not what he needs most.

What he needs is the TV station industry, even if it is Fox TV in Fox, what he really needs is what can occupy the top spot in the entire American TV network system.On this issue, it is obviously not enough that Time Warner has only part of the equity of Turner Television Network and Cw Television Network.He needs a bigger goal, and this goal he has already thought of, that is Viacom Group, a media giant holding such an important thing as cbs television network under his hand.

Of course, acquiring Viacom is not as simple as acquiring 21st Century Fox.After all, Fox in the 21st century is an industry separated by News Corporation, and it cannot be as huge in size as before.A considerable part of News Corporation's industry is located in the United Kingdom. With the destruction of the United Kingdom, the former media tycoon Murdoch family has almost inevitably been severely impacted.

Forty percent of the British paper media was controlled by him. This was a brilliant rule in the past, but today, it is a nightmare for the entire Murdoch family.Although they can still maintain a glamorous appearance based on the resources they have at hand, in fact, they are already stretched out in many places.

The impact of the stock market coupled with internal divisions has made it almost impossible for the Murdoch family to control the industry under their own name.After all, they themselves are only the largest shareholders. If they can unite other shareholders, he can certainly be called the master of this group.But with the weakening of their own strength and the dangers of all shareholders, it is of course impossible for them to continue to unite.

This is also why Wang Shoufu can successfully acquire 21st Century Fox.People's hearts are scattered, so it is better to take some practical benefits to fill such a vacancy.And being able to take advantage of such an opportunity to join the richest man Wang who has huge resources and connections in the mainland will naturally be a good choice for the Murdoch family who urgently needs to open up new markets and restore their own decline.

However, Viacom Group has no need to do so.Although their market has inevitably been affected by the turmoil in the United States, the problem is not so obvious for this media empire that has reached out to the world.So of course, if the richest man Wang wants to do something with him, it will not be as smooth as it is now.

All he can borrow is the turmoil in the stock market, and although this can be considered to have a certain impact, whether it can play a key role, there are two final points.This is after all external factors, and it is never these external factors that really determine the final outcome of the problem.After all, everything depends on strength.

Whether the money in the hands of the richest man Wang can satisfy Viacom Group shareholders is the real key.The problem now is that he, who has already borrowed 200 billion yuan and spent sky-high prices on the acquisition of 21st Century Fox, may not be able to come up with a satisfactory figure.

You know, Viacom's acquisition of cbs cost almost 46 billion US dollars.In addition to cbs under his name, there are also behemoths like Paramount.It is almost impossible to win it without 80 billion.

This kind of cross-border acquisition is better to make a quick fight. If you cannot directly break the bottom line in the hearts of those shareholders with a sufficient price, then things will inevitably become night dreams.Tony also has a request on this point. What he wants from the richest man Wang is to solve these problems as soon as possible.And as soon as possible, it is impossible to have no money.

The U.S. dollar has depreciated sharply, but it has not reached the level of parity with the RMB.And the richest man Wang, who has spent almost half of his funds, already has insufficient funds.If he wants to continue, he must come up with more funds, which is definitely impossible on his own.So he made up his mind to do such a thing immediately, that is, to mortgage the Fox shares that he just acquired to the bank.

He borrowed 180 billion yuan directly from the central bank, and with this fund, directly proposed a premium purchase request to Viacom Group.Faced with this big move by the richest man Wang, the entire American press, which had already been heard, began to go crazy.

"The Chinese are crazy, they want to use money to conquer the world?" This is a headline given by the media who are crazy and incredible about this news.

"Arrogant Chinese, they will certainly repeat the mistakes of the Japanese." This is a headline that complains about such crazy things, even full of resentment.

"The U.S. television network has fallen into the hands of the Chinese. Starting today, we will see the United States in the hands of the Chinese?" This is an unpredictable headline that wants to stir up people's emotions.

Almost in an instant, the entire American media and the Internet were flooded with words of this and that kind, and these voices, without exception, were almost all accusing the Chinese people of the terrible behavior.Such a thing, if no one is instructing behind it, it is absolutely impossible.

This point can be seen even by the richest man Wang who has just set foot on the land of the United States. So immediately, he ordered the US media forces that he had just acquired to target the evil trends in public opinion. Counterattack.

"Fox changed hands and the stock price started to rise. A shot in the heart of the turmoil in the US stock market!"

"A tolerant country and a tolerant society can create such a diverse civilization as today. Welcome, the Chinese are welcome to join the American media family!"

"The King of China promised to open up more markets and promise more job opportunities. This may be a turning point for the United States, where the employment situation is currently sluggish!"

"Where is the future of America? Cooperation may be our only opportunity."

Although the criticism in the media is strong, there are not many people who speak for him from the position of Wang's richest man.Especially after the media announced Wang's richest man's promise to Fox employees, the general public opinion has a tendency to shift towards him.Such a change is really unexpected, and for those who have brewed all of this secretly, it is even more intolerable.

Sumner Redstone, the major shareholder of Viacom's board of directors, is now patting the table and screaming at these unscrupulous media.

"These bitch-bred media, do they know what they are talking about? Why do they want to speak for the Chinese, don't they know what will happen to our current market if it is invaded by the Chinese?"

As the head of Viacom, he led the company to the top in one fell swoop.Lei Shidong's voice is unique in the entire group.He has the highest authority and the highest right to speak.Even other shareholders are often under his influence.

After all, for most shareholders, they only want benefits.As long as Lei Shidong can always bring them rich benefits, then even if they tolerate him a little, it will not be a big deal.

As it is now, when Lei Shidong is furious about something, most shareholders will endure silently without saying a word.But unfortunately, this is something that only happened before.With Redstone put down his power and returned to the board of directors, Viacom's interests were not as good as one day.Many shareholders are already dissatisfied with the status quo of the company and Redstone's violent temper.

Therefore, when he yelled so loudly, shareholders spoke to him almost immediately.

"Mr. Redstone, calm down. We are holding a general meeting of shareholders. We are not listening to you swearing and cursing others. If you want to curse, go back to your house, facing your wall and dog, whatever How to scold!"

"You!" Hearing this, Lei Shidong, who had always been violent, immediately shifted his firepower.However, thinking carefully about the power represented behind this shareholder, he immediately put out this idea abruptly.Although he has a bad temper, he is not a fool.He still knows who can offend and who cannot offend.

So taking a deep breath, he changed his tone and said loudly to all the shareholders present.

"Well, since it is the general meeting of shareholders, then I will talk about something related to the general meeting of shareholders. First of all, as a major shareholder of Viacom, I must express my attitude. I will never accept this Chinese offer. No matter how high his bid is, it’s impossible. Viacom will never sell to a Chinese, absolutely!"

Chapter 1308

Sumner Redstone, someone nicknamed him the emperor of media.

His life is full of legends.Born in poverty, he had to work hard on the battlefield. He even had the title of hero of World War II after participating in World War II.But after World War II, he devoted himself to the field of media and began to work hard in this field.Starting a business from 30 to nearly 60.His life was unremarkable, and the company he worked hard to run didn't move at all.According to this trend, even if he is dead, it is impossible for him to be a media emperor.But when he was fifty-eight years old, a fire changed everything.

He was severely burned and almost died.But he did not die because of this, but he regarded it as an opportunity for his life to change.That is, since he was sixty years old, he began his own miraculous life.

At the age of sixty-three, he became a seller and acquired Viacom, which was not well-known at the time, and developed Viacom all the way until he acquired Paramount when he was seventy.Then at the age of 76, he bought the cbs television network for 46 billion US dollars.Till here, Viacom has become the world's top media company in his hands, and he himself has become a well-deserved legendary tycoon in the entire media industry.

Such a special experience has naturally brought him great prestige. Known as the emperor of the media, he has always said the same in this company created by himself.Even now, he is old and retreated behind the scenes, he still has such confidence.He thinks that as long as he says so, shareholders will respond to his actions.But unfortunately, things are not what he thought.

Almost as soon as he expressed his position, some shareholders began to sing against him.

"Mr. Redstone, I want you to know. Our earnings have fallen sharply throughout last year. We have been in a downturn in the stock market, and even said that before the shareholder turmoil, our stock price even dropped by 100%. No. 25. You should be very clear about what this means. Now, the turbulence in the stock market is intensifying, and our losses are also expanding. If we do not accept such premium acquisitions at this time, we will make up for our shareholders. In terms of the loss, how long do you think we shareholders can last?"

"This is not your reason for betraying the company, sir. You should know that the decline of the company is only temporary, and the whole world is being affected by the turmoil. We will recover, and by that time, the company's revenue will be enough to cover your current situation. Loss. All you have to do is wait, nothing more."

The voices of shareholders, Lei Shidong, cannot be ignored, but this does not mean that he will change his mind because of them.As a man called the emperor, Lei Shidong's arrogance is naturally far beyond ordinary people.So he refuted almost immediately, even saying that he was almost using a strong tone to oppress these so-called shareholders.

He thought he could do this. As long as his attitude was strong enough, these shareholders would never be able to ignore their opinions.It's just a pity that this idea was feasible in the past, but it is no longer feasible today.
