Indulge in Life in America

Earl Carnarvon hurriedly left Beihai Manor after lunch, accompanied by the bodyguards sent by Carson and Yang Cheng. They were to welcome the "Golden Mask" to enter the Beihai Manor. Of course, the Carnarvon family had studied for hundreds of years. Carson is responsible for the data, and even if there is an accident, there are people who can make up their minds.

Sending off the Earl and his party, before sitting down to catch a breath, Ryze Khan’s call followed, "Boss, Disney and Fox’s people have officially contacted. According to the news we got, the Murdoch family’s final bottom line It is to retain the related assets of Fox Broadcasting Company, Fox News Channel and Sports Channel and form them into smaller TV companies, and all the remaining assets will be packaged and sold to Disney."

　　 Yang Cheng frowned and meditated, "Our goal is Fox Sports. Didn't you expect it is not on the sale list?

Wait, last year, Fox completed the reorganization in order to combat the continuous decline in linear ratings and the decline in TV advertising revenue. It used Fox Films to provide content and broadcast it on Fox Cable TV. This completely disrupted last year in less than a year. The arrangement leaves only sports and news, and does not need to be produced by yourself, and the broadcasting platform that can acquire content from the outside retains a certain influence. "

Ryze interjected, "Yes, Fox has been trying to increase the sharing of its own columns. For the entire year last year, only one episode of Fox Cable Network's broadcast was not from 20th Century Fox Film and Television. , And in the past few months, all the program content of Fox Cable Network comes from its own film and television company.

Even in the next quarter, 70% of the program content will be provided by Fox Television, which almost dominates the life of the cable TV network. Now, if this merger is reached, Fox Cable Television will cooperate with Fox Television Completely divided.

　　 And Disney will naturally control the prime time of Fox TV. Disney will retain some content that meets Disney's own brand, such as the Marvel hero series, or some particularly profitable programs, such as "The Simpsons" and "House of Guts".

　　 This is good news for our CW TV station. At least we can produce TV programs that meet the tastes of adult audiences to seize the time slot, but we have to pay attention to a company, Ender Moshan! "

　　 Yang Cheng was taken aback, "Endermosan? Which model giant in the Netherlands?"

Ritz affirmed, "Yes, in the current international model world, Endemol　　 Shine can be called a giant existence. Last year, several major program models and production companies Endemol, Shine Group and Core The company merged.

After that, it became the world’s largest independent program production group, with 120 branches in more than 20 countries around the world, and its global headquarters in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, is responsible for coordinating and organizing global branches to become a unified whole. And exchange ideas with each other, and quickly build successful programs around the world into a global brand.

　　 In the year after the merger, Ndemoshang has produced more than 800 programs for 287 TV stations from 79 regions.

Up to now, the group holds the copyright of more than 4,300 original models. Endermoshang has been committed to using a substantial model reserve to deal with the rapidly changing content market. For example, in the face of the recent boom in game programming, Endermoshang owns More than 250 original patterns can be used for reference, and the broadcast platforms of various countries trust Endermoshang. "

　　 Yang Cheng interrupted, "I know Endermo is very good, so what role does this model giant occupy in the Fox-Disney deal?"

"Endermoshang has always been an in-depth partner of Fox, including top-level variety shows such as "Master Chef" will be broadcast on Fox TV. I heard news that Endermo might still reach a deal with Disney and occupy Fox Cable. A part of the shares of the TV network or Fox Films are used to make up for the missing part of its own ecological chain, and Disney also received the full support of Endermoshang in terms of program content in this transaction."

　　 Yang Cheng clutched his forehead, "So our competitor has one more, and the opponent's strength is not weak."

　　Ritz sneered, "Yes, the boss, and the two main opponents have cooperated, what should we do now?"

　　 Yang Cheng was pacing back and forth in the living room holding his mobile phone, "Is it possible for us to negotiate with Disney in advance?"

Ryze thought for a while, "I don’t think it’s very likely. If it’s possible, Disney can’t wait for an overall merger. Anyway, it’s an equity transaction. It doesn’t take much cash. For Robert Iger, a complete Forbes is divided into several pieces. Assets are much more meaningful."

　　 This is the most difficult situation. Disney and Fox are now typical Zhou Yu playing Huang Gai, one willing to fight one willing to endure, Yang Cheng now wants to be a junior, and no one looks at him, which is really embarrassing.

"So what about the other companies? Time Warner and Comcast are ready to sit and wait?" Yang Cheng asked unwillingly~www.wuxiaspot.com~Comcast has already prepared a quotation, although the specific quotation is still up. Unknown, but it must be about 5% higher than Disney’s first offer to show its determination.

　　 As for Time Warner, I don't know anymore. There is no more news. I tried to establish contact with each other several times, but I didn't get a positive response. "

　　 Yang Cheng slapped angrily on the sofa with a muffled "bang~", "Continue to contact, I don't believe they will sit back and watch Disney grow, unless they don't want to pass it, and are ready to sell their assets."

　　 "Good boss, I will continue to communicate, and Ms. Donna Lande made a suggestion that we can start with Murdoch's two sons. I think this is feasible."

　　 Yang Cheng said in deep thought, "Yes, wait, James Murdoch should be in London, if I find an opportunity, I can talk to him personally."

　　 "Thanks for the boss, I have nothing to report here."

Yang Cheng stopped Ritz, who wanted to hang up the phone. "You help me find a group of experts in the United States who are willing to work in the UK, mainly experts in the history and writing of ancient Egypt, find them, and give a certain price. They are sent to the UK, remember to do a good job of confidentiality.

There are also experts in metal materials. I will find them and send them to you. The price will be confirmed and the non-disclosure agreement will be signed, including their family members. If you want, you can receive them from the UK together. I will come here for accommodation issues. To solve.
