Rebirth of the Tech Madman
Chapter five hundred and fiftieth: The bottom line on Murdoch
...
When is this network technology expected to be launched? Walking out of the Philosophy and Confucianism Research Center, Ted Turner returned the identification card to Tang Huan and asked casually. △△〓A look at the book ※.To read 1, you need k 一a—n book s book h_u ◆. 一c—c—
As you can see, there is no problem with the laboratory model. I believe that in a year or two, there should be a basis for commercial use. Tang Huan's tone was full of confidence, The current executives in the communication industry are not encouraging users To lease an extra line dedicated to data transmission is to be obsessed with the newest isdn - Integrated Services Digital Network. So we are the undisputed leader in this field.
Frankly speaking, the technology here is a test of my imagination. Ted Turner smiled happily, and then frowned slightly, John Kruger, the boss of Metropolitan Media, is cunning. Doc is always looking like he's got it, and the more he puts it on the line, it's disgusting.
You have to know, as the media said, as long as this deal is done, John Kruger may rank among the top three on the Forbes list of richest Americans. Of course, he must find a way to maximize his profits. Tang Huan just smiled lightly , We should be thankful that John Kruger is very sincere in selling the cable TV network owned by Metropolitan Media. After all, some things really have a price but no market.
Then we also need to gain the initiative at the negotiating table, lest John Kruger think that we are really determined. Ted Turner pondered over the countermeasures.
We have to start with Murdoch. As long as he loses his ability to compete, John Kruger will lose a point of support. Tang Huan said leisurely, as if he had already made up his mind.
Tell me about your method. Ted Turner, whose eyes lit up, urged repeatedly.
The two sides competing for Metropolitan Media, you and I stand together, and Murdoch also has an ally. Tang Huan reminded.
You mean Marvin Davis? Ted Turner asked without thinking.
That's the man. Tang Huan had an inexplicable smile in his eyes, So, you continue to deal with John Kruger and Murdoch, and I will meet Marvin Davis. After all, I have not lost Having been to his Pebble Beach golf course, it's kind of a ready conversation base.
Okay then, I'll wait for your bottom line. Ted Turner nodded in agreement after being refreshed.
...
After Tang Huan returned to San Francisco. The first person interviewed was Ted Turner. After all, until now, billions of dollars will be spent, and anyone will feel a little restless.
The other party also couldn't help feeling uneasy. ■△To* read books. Books
After comforting Ted Turner and seeing him off, Tang Huan was invited to attend a special joint banquet held by several Chinese food industry associations in California.
Aunt Tang Yun used to own several restaurants before. But during the time when she lived in Singapore, the old lady spent all her energy on taking care of Lin Fengjiao and a pair of grandchildren, and she had no intention of managing them, so she basically transferred them out, but Tang Huan still got along with this A group of people in the industry maintain close contact. The recent passage of several local bills favorable to the development of the Chinese food industry is the best testimony.
On the other hand, it also shows that the enthusiasm of Chinese people to participate in California-wide elections has begun to increase, and they have formed a bond, which is no longer a dispensable existence.
Because Tang Huan was involved in the election support of the California State Senator and State Representative. The fact that it has attracted attacks from political opponents has become clear, and the beneficiaries of the bill, such as the Chinese food industry, naturally want to show their hearts and condolences.
Many of them were brave and ruthless, clapping their chests to petition, Mr. Tang, these guys dare to plot against you, I will find someone to cut them down.
You don't have to. Tang Huan held up his wine glass and signaled, Everyone's thoughts are appreciated, but I still understand the rules of the game for politicians, so I have a way to deal with it. You should concentrate on being kind and making money.
Mr. Tang, just tell us what you have to do. We people will go to the mountain of swords and the pan of oil. If you really want to run for the House of Representatives, we will not only vote for ourselves, but also mobilize people around you people do the same.”
Okay, this is just an inexplicable rumor, and I'm not made to be a politician. Tang Huan waved his hands dumbfounded.
...
Both of the above activities were carried out in private. But for the rest of the trip, Tang Huan could no longer escape the reporters' tracking.
Despite his busy schedule, Tang Huan specially attended EA's commemorative event for Little Betty. This little girl he met at Treasure Hospital last year. In the end, he was killed by leukemia.
The higher he stood, the more Tang Huan could perceive some truths that seemed to be taken for granted.
He said very sincerely: Little Betty's tenacious will to fight the disease and the spirit of helping others by donating corneas are worth learning. Little Betty especially liked the game Monopoly before his death. In the world of Betty, a person named Betty was added to commemorate this little hero in the ordinary world. I hope everyone can always remember Betty, an ordinary and extraordinary friend.
This event was quite solemn, and both people in real life and players in the EA community participated in it with a pious attitude. ■一※Look at △book. Book 1 requires
But after Tang Huan left the event site, the secular disturbances still rushed towards him. The reporters who had been waiting outside tried to rush forward and asked all kinds of questions that had been planned for a long time.
Tang Huan didn't have time to take care of these ordinary reporters, and public relations consultant Regis McKenna reminded him more than once to reserve precious interview opportunities exclusively for heavyweight authoritative media such as Time magazine.
...
In addition to the opinions given by the public relations team, the legal team is also actively offering advice, including consultant Hillary Clinton.
Ever since Tang Huan met Hillary, who was the director at Wal-Mart, the Clintons have visited San Francisco frequently, and received a considerable amount of sales income from Tang Wenmao, who was in charge of purchasing cellular phone licenses.
In addition, in order to support the two political stars' work as the governor of Arkansas, Tang Huan also let the company under his name start a computer business there.
In fact, Americans now basically believe that there is a deviation in the age of your entry. After all, this topic of public opinion has been bombarded at least three times. Even if it is false, it will become true. Hillary gave very directly Tang Huan analyzed the current situation.
In order to get the entry permit as soon as possible, I did conceal my age, not political asylum. Tang Huan nodded.
In private, he had already formally discussed this matter with someone he trusted. Now there is one more.
I've seen pictures of you in the newspapers in 1976, and I have to say, you looked thin and deceptive back then. Hilary shrugged with a smile. But that's all. Everyone has to face the reality. I believe that no one will insist on driving away the rich Americans because of this small episode. On the contrary, this small flaw will make you appear more real. After all, your amazing talent makes you It’s too perfect and too mysterious.”
Having said that, Hillary added earnestly, Of course, your plan to run for the House of Representatives will also be difficult to realize because of this small flaw.
You also believe this rumor. Tang Huan shook his head with a smile, However, this public opinion turmoil has indeed affected me. As a typical example of the most unscrupulous media - New York Post, I very much Trying to kill it like a bedbug makes me pissed off.
I advise you to save your energy. Hilary quickly waved her hand. Compared to the Hearst Group's San Francisco Observer, which was hit to the ground before, the New York Post's media status is not the same. You know, it has its own seat in the White House press room.
I can find a way to make the New York Post lose this position. Tang Huan said lightly.
I believe you have this energy, but then? Hilary's face became serious, It is completely foreseeable that all the media will attack you at that time, because in their view, you have hindered the most important thing. freedom of speech.
Since even you, an expert, think so, then I will give up this idea. Tang Huan sighed softly.
Don, I hope you can really listen to my advice. Hilary smiled sweetly. After all, I don't want to lose your generous client either.
Don't worry, I've always been calm and kind-hearted. Tang Huan got up and paced back and forth. Ignore the clamor for now. I'm going to Pebble Beach Golf Course to relax. Will you and Bill go?
The two of us are on official business, so we won't accompany you any more. Hilary shook her head.
...
Tang Huan's going to the Pebble Beach Golf Course to relax is just a pretense. The real thing is to meet the boss here, Marvin Davis. He is currently intending to jointly acquire Metropolis Media's cable TV network with Murdoch.
It's still the charm of the rich in the United States. It is almost a foregone conclusion that Barry Diller will leave Paramount. I intend to recruit him to take charge of Century Fox, but he is more willing to go to Turner Broadcasting Company with your support. One When they met, Marvin Davis laughed and poured out his bitterness, which was very different from Murdoch's unabashed hostility.
Century Fox has a lot of talents. Since it came under your banner in 1981, from Cannonball Run to last year's Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, and even the Sky Boy just released this year, it has performed at least Barry Diller must be the CEO of a blockbuster movie in North America? Tang Huan shook his head with a smile.
But I can't compare with you. Marvin Davis made no secret of his envy, We both entered Hollywood in 1981, and I used twice the price you paid for United Artists to control it. Century Fox, but now let's see who earns more?
The Pebble Beach golf course under the name of Century Fox, as well as the ski company, are very interesting. Tang Huan looked at the beautiful scenery outside the window and said lightly: If your interest in Century Fox fades, You may wish to consider making a move and sell it to me.
These unexpected remarks caused the reception room to fall into silence. After a while, Marvin Davis swallowed his saliva, and still asked in surprise, Don, are you kidding me?
If you don't want to sell Century Fox, it's a joke; on the contrary, it's a transaction. Tang Huan glanced at the other party with a half-smile.
Don, you bought a lot of Warner stocks last year, which seriously threatened Steve Ross's control, but in the end, you had to sell these stocks because of antitrust pressure? Marvin David Si stared suspiciously into Tang Huan's eyes, trying to figure out his real intentions.
At this stage, can Century Fox's status in Hollywood be compared with Warner's? Tang Huan asked indifferently, then pointed out the window, Also, my interest is mainly in this historic golf course.
Then how do you plan to quote? Marvin Davis looked at Tang Huan enthusiastically.
Gein knew that the young man in front of him was not short of money. John Kruger of the Metropolitan Media was about to get billions of dollars from him, and then squeezed into the top of the richest list in the United States. Envy is too fake.
That depends on how many shares you are willing to sell. Tang Huan blinked playfully at the other party's gaze.
I think, in the final analysis, it depends on your offer. Marvin Davis slyly kicked the ball over again.
As far as I know, you and Mark Rich jointly purchased Century Fox in 1981. However, Mark Rich is currently on the run, and I believe his shares have fallen into your hands at a low price. Tang Huan said calmly, while paying attention to the other party's expression to confirm his guess.
Mark Ritchie is a well-rounded international businessman. To use the catchphrase in reform and opening up China to describe him, he is a super poor man. His ties to countries in the Middle East, such as Iran, are so close that they are not even affected by regime change.
As early as the world energy crisis in the 1990s, Mark Rich bought oil from Iran, shipped it to the United States and sold it at a high price, earning a lot of money.
After the Iranian hostage crisis broke out in 1979, the United States began to impose sanctions on Iran, but Mark Rich, who was bold and reckless, was still able to get oil from Iran and continue to trade.
Now the U.S. government got angry and decided to clean up Mark Rich, who was ignorant of current affairs, and filed a series of lawsuits against him last year, including tax evasion. The man fled to Switzerland, and the industry in the U.S. was also abandoned. down.
Seeing that Marvin Davis did not refute, Tang Huan said slowly: I will pay 200 million US dollars for Mark Rich's shares. But there is one condition, you withdraw from the joint acquisition of Metropolis Media with Murdoch plan.
Marvin Davis narrowed his eyes immediately, thinking that Tang Huan, a well-known upstart, really knew how to make wishful thinking. (To be continued.)
