Chapter 1048 Sharpening the knife to Disney
After careful observation, Han Xuan found that Qianxi's mother was indeed not ambiguous with her grandfather. The look of looking at each other when she looked at each other could not deceive others. The two just had a good relationship.
This made him feel relieved and a little disappointed. He himself didn't understand why he had this kind of emotion. He probably didn't want to see his grandfather and continue to live alone.
It is a villa as big as Beverly Hills, but only him and his servants, so life is definitely not good.
Recovering from the initial shock, he began to think about whether to make a marriage for his grandfather. It was not unacceptable that the two were less than 20 years apart...
"Titanic" Dimen Pictures has invested half of the investment, which is considered half of the host of this preview.
Rupert Murdoch, the owner of Twentieth Century Fox and the head of News Corp., also came to receive guests personally. His News Corp. owns half of the shares of Twentieth Century Fox.
The Australian's experience in the United States can be described as a legend. Because American law stipulates that non-national citizens are not allowed to have both television stations and newspapers, Murdoch became an American citizen ten years ago.
The media channels he owns now even the government finds it terrifying. The company's Fox TV station is the fourth largest TV station after ABC, NBC, and CBS.
It's past seven o'clock now, and the movie is about to start in half an hour, and some people have already started to take their seats.
A total of about 1,200 guests came tonight. Han Xuan said thirsty and said rituals were done well. He hoped that when writing the articles tonight, those film critics could show mercy.
At this moment, Murdoch came to him, reached out and smiled, "Good evening, magical little guy.
I used to think that I could kill ABC TV in another ten years and become one of the three major TV stations in the United States. I didn’t expect it to be resurrected in your hands.
If I hadn't had no money, I wanted to acquire it at that time, and your grandfather made the right decision. The market value of ABC TV station has grown by almost 4 billion US dollars in recent years, right?
I regret not having a big bet like Han, forgetting that profits are proportional to investment, but after all, I am too timid..."
A newspaper in News Group once targeted the old man's Sos Group.
So the old man was very different from him. When he took Han Xuan to a party, he met Murdoch, but he never said hello. This was his first time talking to Han Xuan.
There are no eternal enemies in doing business, only eternal interests. Making more powerful friends is much better than multiple powerful enemies.
What's more, twenty or thirty years have passed since those old things, and even the old man doesn't care about them.
Seeing Murdoch showing kindness, Han Xuan replied with a smile: "I didn't make that much, but it has great potential for development, and your company is also good.
I want to borrow this TV station to build an entertainment industry empire, and it would be great if you are willing to sell the stake in News Corp. 20th Century Fox."
This is not humble at all.
Murdoch is also developing towards a tycoon in the entertainment and film industry. Now he has succeeded, but it is not the largest, showing a situation where several giants are tied with each other. Time Warner and Sony Columbia are not small in scale. The strength of the Han family in the film and television entertainment industry can only be considered second-rate.
Murdoch smiled and said indifferently: "In my opinion, as long as the price is right, nothing can be sold.
But I think Disney is more suitable for you. Its pillars of traditional animation in the industry are being impacted by Pixar Animation Studio.
In the past two years, I was at a disadvantage in the competition with your grandfather Sos Group and lost the opportunity to acquire ABC TV station, resulting in a sharp decline in market value. Now is a good time to buy.
Disney has only recently started to involve computer animation. If your grandfather is willing to exchange shares with them with Pixar Animation Studio, I believe that those shareholders will be very happy..."
Actually, this idea is pretty good, but Han Xuan thinks that Disney's market value will further decline under its own impact.
Without ABC TV and Marvel Studios, even the old animation is facing difficulties. The company's growth potential is limited. If it cannot find a new way out, it will definitely lose in the future.
If you do business, you will be back if you don’t advance. Now its market value is still too high. In his opinion, it is not the best time at present, so you have to wait a little longer.
What's more, Han Xuan is short of money now, and every time he checks his account, the richest man wants to cry...
Suddenly he thought of something and said to Murdoch with a smile: "Since you can sell anything, how about selling the online broadcast rights of those movies in the 20th Century Fox to me?
I want to intercept some interesting short videos and play them for free on my video software. This can play a publicity role, indirectly drive the performance of videotape rental in 20th Century Fox and increase your company's revenue.
My video software can also increase user views. Only when the click-through rate is high can the advertising price be sold higher, and we have a win-win situation.
Since I put the clips of my grandfather’s company on the video website, the number of times I rented discs has increased a lot recently…”
Now, the longest video on the Internet is only more than ten minutes, and it takes a long time to download it. Browsing online is simply a dream, and you can get stuck and want to die.
Since the rapid development of Hope Technology's news website, Murdoch has begun to pay attention to this emerging field. Now News Corp has also begun to get involved in online news, and the website was just opened to the public at the beginning of the year.
He knew that there must be something that he could not imagine in this, otherwise Han Xuan would not have mentioned this matter specifically.
However, due to the influence of the concept of the times, Murdoch could not imagine that he could watch a whole movie online in the future, which led to the decline of the DVD rental industry. He thought that Han Xuan wanted to use the exciting clips of those movies to make money by selling advertisements.
So he thought for a while and offered a high price, saying, "Twenty million US dollars, twenty years of copyright.
In addition, I want 30% of the revenue from playing my company’s movies."
A typical lion has a big mouth, and the price is far beyond Han Xuan's expectations.
He was stunned, thinking that business was not easy now, and people were guarding themselves.
It is much more difficult to pick up bargains than before. As long as you want something, the other party will definitely hold it tightly and refuse to let go, or offer a sky-high price higher than the actual price, otherwise they would rather not sell it.
For example, last year, hope Technology wanted to acquire a company that produced protective glass on the outside of products such as mobile phones and digital camera displays, which is a subsidiary controlled by Corning Group.
What's strange is that after the news spread, the company's market value rose rapidly by 37% in just three days, causing Han Xuan to finally pinch his nose and acquire it at a price of 60% higher than expected.
There is no way, hope technology must use it for LCD screens, and other companies' production technology is not as high as it is.
When he was looking for a seat to sit down, Han Xuan shook his head and pretended to be crying without tears, and said, "Mr. Murdoch, I really want to talk to you about business.
I really can't accept you for giving such harsh conditions.
From those movies, my video website can only make a small amount of money. If you follow the price you mentioned, my company will lose money..."
