Sumner Redstone, someone nicknamed him the emperor of media.

His life is full of Legendary. 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. From 30 years old starting a business to almost 60 years old. His life was mediocre, and the company that oneself worked hard to manage did not move at all. According to this trend, even if he is dead, he is basically impossible to be the emperor of the media. But when he was fifty-eight years old, a fire changed everything.

He was severely burned and almost died. However, he who was undying in a difficult situation was not at all depressed because of this, but instead regarded it as an opportunity for oneself to change his life. That is, since he was sixty years old, he began a life of oneself creating miracles.

63 years old became a seller and acquired Viacom, which was not well-known at the time, and developed Viacom all the way until it acquired Paramount at the age of 70. Then it was seventeen years old and acquired CBS Television Network for 461 billion USD. Up to this point, Viacom has become the world’s cream of the crop 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 a huge reputation. Known as the emperor of the media, he has always stood by one’s word in this company created by oneself. Even now, he is old and retreated behind the scenes, he still has such confidence. He believes that if oneself says that, shareholders will respond to his actions. But unfortunately, things are not what he thought.

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

“Mr. Redstone, I want you to know. Our earnings have fallen sharply last year. We have been in a downturn in the stock market. We even said that before the shareholder turmoil, our The stock price even fell by 25% at one time. You should be very clear about what this means. Now, the turmoil in the stock market is intensifying and our losses are expanding. If we do not accept such premium acquisitions at this time, To make up for the losses of our shareholders, how long do you think we shareholders can hold on?”

“This is not your reason for betraying the company, sir. You should know that the decline of the company is only temporary , The whole world is being affected by the turmoil. We will recover, and at that time, the company’s revenue will be enough to cover your losses today. All you have to do is wait, nothing more.”

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

He thinks that oneself can do this. As long as the own attitude is strong enough, these shareholders are absolutely impossible to ignore the opinions of own. It’s just a pity that this idea was feasible in the past, but it is completely unfeasible today.

Viacom has developed to this day, even if he is the founder, it is actually impossible to completely control such a large group. He has a lot of shares, but it is absolutely impossible to override other shareholders to decide the whereabouts of the entire group. At this time, once some shareholders have begun to express their attitude clearly, his words will no longer Has the weight of the past.

“Wait, Mr. Redstone. We have no time to wait. Our losses are so heavy that even our assets have been affected. Instead of wasting time in this For any future waiting, we would rather close the deal now. At the very least, we can make up for our losses by doing so, and even say that we may still make a small profit.”

Some people say If this is the case, and naturally, someone will follow suit. It’s not just one or two people saying that, but many people are saying it. And when these people gather together, the power they represent is enough to determine the future of the entire Viacom Group.

This is something that Lei Shidong never thought about. He never thought that oneself would get such a complete betrayal at this time. This made his heart filled with anger, and his sanity received a powerful shock.

At this time, he really wanted to swear at the shareholders who disobeyed him, but his reason told him that he must not do this.

This will only push these shareholders to the opposite side completely, and once they completely stand on the opposite side of oneself, then he will be more powerless. At this time, he must get the support of most of the shareholders, and to get such support, he must promise them an absolutely achievable benefit, as he did before.

This is not a problem in the past, because the world in the past was a gold mine, and a big capitalist like him only needs to swing a pickaxe to dig out a large piece of gold. But now, United States has become like this, and overwhelming majority companies can only protect themselves. Of course he is impossible to achieve what oneself has done in the past.

At this time, he can only promise a blank check. And can a blank check impress these wily old fox guys? He knew the answer without even thinking about it.

Could it be said that the hard work that oneself has created for a lifetime will fall into the hands of others like this? Just as this thought arose in his heart, it already made his whole heart chill. He must not let things happen like this, he must not let his own efforts fall into the hands of others. He must stop all of this, he must stop such horrible things.

But what should he do? After all, Lei Shidong, who is over eighty years old, is already an old man, his energy is not as good as before, and his brain is not as active as before. At such a time, he couldn’t even think of a reasonable way to break the game. However, he is the media emperor after all, and he is the legendary character after all. Even if the brain is not enough, but the experience and experience are already enough to point him in the direction.

There is a saying called whoever hung the bell on the tiger’s neck must untie it. He knew that oneself’s current dilemma in the board member meeting was entirely caused by the shareholders who were against her. So if you want to open up the situation, I’m afraid you still have to work on these people. That shareholder, who represents the guy who once invested in Viacom’s consortium, is what oneself needs to work on.

Knowing this in his heart, he can no longer care about those hypocritical things. He almost made it clear, and said to the guy who had been antagonistic to him.

“Sir, I don’t know what you or the people behind you think. But what I want to tell you is, don’t fool me as a fool. Yes, the situation in United States is very It’s not good, but a guy with billions of dollars like you will never get to the point of bankruptcy because of such a little turmoil. This is not the reason you used to fool me, nor is it that you used to betray Viacom Excuse. What do you want, tell me, as long as I can afford the price, I will pay it as the price of protecting Viacom.”

“Save Viacom? Ray? Mr. Shi Dong, don’t you understand? We did this to make Viacom better.”

With a meaningful smile on his face, the shareholder who has been singing the opposite Say so.

“The center of the world is no longer United States. Whether we admit it or not, this will not change. Viacom, as a United States company, has most of its market Almost based on United States. This in the past is the basis of his success. But now, all this will only become a drag on Viacom. If Viacom wants to develop, the best way is to open up the other side of the ocean China’s mainland market. Of course, you and I know that this is something we can’t do with our strength alone. That market determines its limits. If you want to open up there, you have to have a special opportunity. And Now, this special opportunity is in front of us. So why don’t we catch him as much as we can, but keep him out as you said? This is not in line with our interests. Don’t forget, we are capitalists, and capitalists should not be enemies of own interests!”

A very good reason came out of his mouth, but Lei Shidong’s heart was even more angry. He admits that there is some truth to this sentence, but this is his business, something he created by himself. Its future should not be determined by these so-called capitalists, but by he himself. And he, no matter what is impossible to accept such a decision.

“I said, what is the price? I would rather pay such a price, and never let you dominate Viacom’s future. It is mine, and only I have this right. “

“Why, do you think so?” A sneer appeared on his face, and the shareholder said to him with disdain. “I’m sorry, Mr. Redstone. I don’t think you can afford such a price. This is a joint decision of several major consortiums. We hope to use this opportunity to open the door of that country. You are chosen to be yours. Lucky. Of course, if you are unwilling to accept this kind of luck, then I can only say that it will become your misfortune.”

“Every shareholder here is a witness. You can ask Are they willing to support you and stay on this broken ship that keeps them losing profits? Or are they willing to open up a new century with our consortium?”
