Rebirth of the Financial Overlord

After exchanging pleasantries and courtesies, several people sat down cross-legged one by one under Shen Jiannan's arrangement.

The independent reception room was decorated in a Japanese style. Shinkawa Masako was holding a teapot full of tea, kneeling beside Shen Jiannan, making tea for several people.

clatter——

The clear light green tea turned into crystal clear lines, and rushed into the cup one by one like flowing clouds and flowing water. As the smoke and dust rose, a faint fragrance soon rose around.

Shen Jiannan took the tongs and handed the teacups to several people one by one.

The tea fragrance is tangy, straight to the tip of the nose, light and mixed with fragrance, refreshing.

Rupert Murdoch took it, praised the good tea, picked it up and took a sip, the sweet taste rushed to the taste buds, he couldn't help but gave a thumbs up to Masako Shinkawa.

“Very good.”

Shen Jiannan couldn't help smiling, and said while holding a teacup.

Mr. Murdoch knows how to taste tea?

I don't understand it very well. But I can feel a unique rhythm, sound, aroma, and color.

Haha, Mr. Murdoch is really elegant.

Thank you for the compliment.

As Murdoch said, he met Liu Changzhi's eyes. There are some things that he is not suitable to talk about in his capacity. Liu Changzhi returned a knowing look, grabbed the teacup, smiled politely, and mentioned the purpose of his visit this time.

Li Sheng must have told Mr. Shen about our intention to come. I don't know what you think about this matter.

Shen Jiannan didn't answer directly, he held the teacup for a moment, Yun Danfeng took a light look at Liu Changzhi.

Liu Sheng. Is it convenient for Fang to let me talk to Mr. Murdoch alone?

You, get out, you are not qualified to speak here.

Although Shen Jiannan didn't say that, that's not what he meant.

Liu Changzhi's expression changed instantly, his face turned blue and red, he was the administrative director of STARL after all, and he was considered number one under Hutchison Whampoa, and he had suffered such humiliation several times.

But suddenly, Liu Changzhi felt the hairs on his back stand on end, as if he was being targeted by a poisonous snake or lion.

Following his feeling, Liu Changzhi looked sideways, and immediately met a pair of indifferent and bloodthirsty eyes.

It was Akhmetov, sitting in a corner, as non-existent as air. Before, Liu Changzhi just glanced at him and didn't find anything unusual about him. Now they looked at each other, and immediately felt the bone-chilling cold.

Dangerous, extremely dangerous.

Sweat ran down Liu Changzhi's face, and he suddenly realized that the rumors were probably true.

On the one hand, of course it is convenient. Mr. Shen is free to do so.

Laugh. Then go and sit with Liu Sheng, and I will talk to Mr. Murdoch about something.

Yes, boss.

The two walked away bent over one after the other, one was frightened and the other was used to it.

After the two left, Shen Jiannan was no longer cynical like before. He looked directly into Murdoch's eyes and met Murdoch's gaze. Under the traction of Qi, Murdoch didn't smile anymore, and looked directly at Shen Jiannan.

A pair of jet-black eyes, bottomless, black as vast as the night sky, and another pair of dark yellow eyes, slightly cloudy, but it is impossible to guess the true thoughts of the owner of the eyes.

After a long time, Shen Jiannan lost his momentum and laughed.

Mr. Murdoch. I think you also know the importance of First Media under the Stars to Capital One. I also know its importance to News Corporation. But 100 million Hong Kong dollars is not enough.

Murdoch did not speak, but held out two fingers.

Two hundred million?

Yes. But not Hong Kong dollars, U.S. dollars, two hundred million U.S. dollars.

Shen Jiannan was startled.

Isn't this his favorite way of pretending to be coercive? I didn't expect Murdoch to like to do it too. No loss is the top media crocodile, the first move is a shocking 200 million US dollars, if it is someone else, it is estimated that someone will be knocked out.

You know, STARL invested more than 3.3 billion Hong Kong dollars, and News Corp. only gave more than 500 million Hong Kong dollars, and the first finance and economics under the stars added up to 10 million Hong Kong dollars.

200 million US dollars, a rate of return of more than 100 times, if it is all converted into cash, it can kill people alive.

But money is meaningless. Shen Jiannan smiled silently, stared into Murdoch's eyes and shook his head.

Murdoch's face darkened instantly, and his heart sank.

Two hundred million U.S. dollars is an astronomical figure. I believe that anyone who hears this figure, which is more than ten times higher than expected, will be thrilled. If the outside world finds out that News Corporation will acquire the First Media under the Stars for two hundred million U.S. dollars, it will be inevitable There will be an uproar.

He did a survey and found that Capital One's initial investment in Star Media was only five million Hong Kong dollars, or two hundred million U.S. dollars. This geometric rate of return is enough to make anyone dumbfounded.

However, Shen Jiannan was unmoved at all and directly refused.

200 million US dollars is the limit of funds that News Corporation can mobilize. It is impossible to increase the price, and Shen Jiannan's attitude also makes it clear that he has no intention of selling at all.

Murdoch couldn't help feeling a little irritated.

He has made careful strategic planning. If he can win the No. 1 Media under the Stars and use STARL as a publicity, the No. 1 Media under the Stars will be merged into STARL and merged into the Star Media Group. With the No. 1 Media under the Stars in the financial and economic As well as the huge influence in investment and STARL's resources, it is believed that it will soon occupy the Asian market.

At that time, any capital in the world that wants to get a share of the Asian market will have to cooperate with News Corporation.

but now.

Looking into those dark and deep eyes, Murdoch was calm and suppressed his anger.

Mr. Shen, 200 million US dollars. I don't think anyone will offer a higher price than News Corporation. You shouldn't refuse.

Mr. Murdoch is right. Two hundred million dollars, no one will pay that price again.

Why?

Shen Jiannan didn't speak, but Masako Shinkawa understood and poured him another cup of tea.

Picking up the teacup, smelling the aroma of the tea, and taking a sip, the faint lingering fragrance lingers for a long time.

After several sips, Shen Jiannan smiled faintly.

I think Mr. Murdoch should know that CBN under the stars also has a good reputation in the entire Asian market. If there is enough capital injection, it can easily establish a brand image in various regions in Asia.

Suppose I win a radio station in Thailand or the Philippines, do free programs, and expand to other markets with No. 1 Media under the Stars, how long do you think it will take to win the Asian market.

Also, I am from Huaxia, and I have always had a good relationship with Huaxia. I believe that Mr. Murdoch can also see the huge prospects of the Huaxia market. Not long ago, reforms were carried out there, and there are already securities and futures markets. What do you think, with China's population base, how promising would it be if you enter the China market?

I can use No. 1 Media under the Stars as the core to radiate influence from Hong Kong to the surrounding areas. Whether it is market analysis, investment and financial management experience, or any program, it is all free and open.

There should be no one who doesn't like free shows, right?

And we, when we win all the markets, we can use advertising fees to generate profits.

.

Doing shows for free, invading the Asian market, and then to the Chinese people, and the reform of China and the opening of the financial market.

Rupert Murdoch's face became ugly. The free TV business is a tactic that he has been thinking about for a long time to enter the Asian market to match the strategic deployment of the Asian market.

However, Shen Jiannan also mentioned free, and he has already considered how free works, and it is free in terms of financial investment. Moreover, he is also a Chinese. If the first media under the stars wants to enter the Asian market, he will have many advantages over him, a white man.

If you want to invade the current pay TV market for free, you will know the result with your ass.

I came to the wrong place.

Rupert Murdoch couldn't help a wry smile.

Mr. Shen, I'm sorry. I don't think we need to talk anymore.

Why?

Shen Jiannan said in surprise.

Your idea is very forward-looking and great. And Capital One, I don't think there is a shortage of funds. So, do we need to continue talking?

Thank you Mr. Murdoch for your praise. As you said, Capital One is not short of funds. Although the company's current assets are only US$2 billion, if I want, I can borrow US$10 billion from major banks at any time. It is possible to list part of the company and operate it, and I believe that there will be no problem at all when it grows several times.”

Rupert Murdoch could say nothing, nothing.

Capital One is an investment company, and all it has in its hands is cash. If it wants to operate, it is more than a simple loan of tens of billions of dollars.

Rupert Murdoch couldn't help staring at Shen Jiannan, his dim eyes were surprisingly serious. He could predict that, according to Shen Jiannan's plan, No. 1 Media under the Starry Sky would be News Corporation's biggest enemy in Asia. Whether it's setting a free precedent, or his identity as a yellow race, or a contest for capital, News Corporation doesn't even have the slightest advantage.

Helpless, Rupert Murdoch put down the teacup in his hand and stood up.

Mr. Shen. Thank you very much for your candor. Thank you for the great tea, but I think there is no need for me to stay any longer. Sorry!

After speaking, Rupert Murdoch made an apologetic etiquette, put on his shoes, turned around and left.

Since there is no need to continue the discussion, once you leave the gate, you will be the enemy from now on.

But do you really have a chance?

A pair of domineering, deep eyes seemed to be looking at him, but Rupert Murdoch didn't notice that his tall and straight body, which he had always been tall and straight, couldn't help but come down.

Free Huaxia people. Terrible cash flow, awe-inspiring operation concept, in the face of such a terrifying strength, News Corporation does not even have the slightest chance of winning.

Mr. Murdoch, I think you misunderstood me. I don't sell, but it doesn't mean we can't cooperate.

There is another village where the willows are dark and the flowers are bright.

Rupert Murdoch couldn't help but stop, and when he met those dark eyes, his expression became extremely cautious.

Because he suddenly realized that the negotiation he thought was over had actually just begun, and his voluntary abandonment meant that he had lost the upper hand.

Terrible young man!
