America's Big Hero

Wow, it's a plant!

"The structure is still small." Old man David laughed loudly: "If you don't participate in the competition, Murdoch can win about 16 billion, but if you participate in the competition..."

Old man David raised his hand.

"Ah!" Sean threw his head back fiercely, cursing angrily, "What the hell, am I crazy, why is it so expensive?"

"Ha, you don't think you're the only smart person in the whole world, do you?" Old man David felt better when he saw Sean's outrage, "Everyone can see the development prospects of TV networks. At present, there is no one in the United States that can cover TV networks." The cable TV network in most parts of the country, currently, under the squeeze of the three major wireless TV media, the development of Metropolis Media Company has hit a bottleneck, so there is the idea of ​​introducing investors or selling it."

"That is to say, even if it is acquired, the pressure of the burden will be passed on, and the risk is very high."

"No, I don't have that much money, I admit, he has Murdoch." Sean gritted his back molars and asked with a look of resentment.

"Heh, he's not like you, he always likes to eat alone." David said with a smile: "Murdoch is not small, of course, he doesn't have so much money for a wholly-owned acquisition, Murdoch will buy part of the stock, and then Use the stock of News Corp. to exchange with Capital Media Company, add loans, and finally complete the merger and acquisition.”

"I don't think you have a full understanding of it, huh." David glared at Sean dissatisfied.

"You have never been in touch with the operation of TV networks, and all the companies under your name have nothing to do with TV media. I don't think that you rush into an unfamiliar field rashly."

"Your means are useless in the operation of TV stations. In the final analysis, the operation of TV networks depends on content. Without content that attracts users, everything is empty talk."

Sean is developing well at present, and David also wants to persuade Sean by taking this opportunity, not wanting him to go astray.

However, Old Man David probably won't be able to persuade him...

Truth is in the hands of a few.

Most people think that they can do it, that this business can make money, and they all do it. This business will definitely develop greatly, but they will not make a lot of money in a short period of time.

Most people don't think this business can be done, so this kind of business has the possibility to make a lot of money in a short time.

For example, the earliest Taobao and JD.com.

Therefore, those who have achieved success in a short period of time are extremely confident and conceited, and those who can be persuaded will not achieve such high achievements in a short period of time.

Everyone is optimistic about the future development of the TV network, so the TV network will definitely have great development.

However, making money or something is very slow.

This is a long-term investment, and it is necessary to fight a way out in the fierce competition.

Sean nodded. I admit that what David said is correct. Normally, it is true that no TV network should be acquired.

What kind of content does a person who makes a fortune with one shot at a time...

What's the difference between this and a cook who wants to be a general!

But he can really do a good job!

It's just that before this thing is made, there is really no way to say it, and it can't be explained clearly, and no one will believe it.

Pete Chernin only believed in his own ability, in the protection Sean could provide, and in Rockefeller's financial resources.

As for Sean, um, boss, financial and spiritual support is enough!

"Thank you Fifth Grandpa. However, I still want to accept the TV network. I will accept it. Jesus can't stop what I said!" Sean said firmly.

Old man David rolled his eyes, as if I knew it.

"Okay, you buy. However, let me tell you in advance that the think tank of the Rockefeller Foundation has a very low evaluation of your acquisition and is not optimistic. Therefore, the consortium will not support it, and I have no choice."

"Moreover, Rockefeller's main investment direction is not in the media field. Every consortium has a direct main investment direction, and it will not easily cross the line." Old David reminded.

"Then what if I really run the media group?" Sean had to ask clearly, so he wouldn't believe in the integrity of those big consortiums.

"Accidents are everywhere in this world, isn't it!" David laughed and said, "This kind of world is interesting and exciting enough. If it keeps repeating itself, what's the fun in it?"

Sean instantly understood that he was not a member of the Rockefeller consortium, if he really made it happen...

What a fucking surprise!

It's a fucking surprise!

Sean had to do it, and the old man David didn't stop him. He just told him not to use core assets for mortgage loans, and to cut assets well. Even if he lost money, he would file for bankruptcy at worst.

With the family as the backing, there is no way that Xiao En will really lose his fortune.

Looking at Sean who disappeared at the door, David sighed, wondering if this kid could listen to him.

After sitting for a while, he opened the gift box Sean brought, and slowly ate two dates.

Eating, eating, David always felt that something was wrong. He stared at the gift box for a long time, closed it, and was dumbfounded when he looked back.

An Iraqi Congress is printed on it.

Iraq?

Looking carefully, this thing is not for sale at all, it is specially used in Iraq as a gift to guests, so it was Sean who brought it back from Iraq.

At this time there is a war over there, what is that kid doing in Iraq?

Was also officially received and presented with gifts?

This is so...

The more David thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong.

"The little bastard is not going to get involved in the Iran-Iraq war, is he!?" David's eyes widened suddenly.

"I……"

"Stinky boy, no wonder you gave me a gift, this is, this is something wrong, let me explain it to you!" David gritted his teeth angrily, grabbed a date palm and bit it down hard.

After eating this mouthful of dates, I won’t be able to excuse myself if I don’t know!

Damn, you came to cheat and attack me, a 70-year-old man.

Not the first time!

This fucking is a born bad breed...

After cursing a few words, old David laughed again.

He picked up another date and threw it into his mouth.

However, with such a bad boy, there is no need to worry that Rockefeller will have no successor after his death, and there will not be a few bones left that were swallowed by those professional managers.

Thinking about it, old man David picked up a date again and threw it into his mouth.

So sweet!

……

After returning to Newark, Sean had no time to spare. After getting in touch with Lamb, he took a plane and went straight to Los Angeles.

Definitely, must buy a private jet and sit in the first-class cabin. Sean just felt unable to stretch his legs, and silently swears in his heart a little depressed.

When he arrived in Los Angeles, Pete Chernin was already waiting for him in the villa.

Take Pete to the study of the villa.

"The value of Capital Media Company is far beyond imagination." Sean said directly with a serious expression as soon as he entered the door.

"I know too." There was no surprise on Pete Chernin's face.

After he submitted his resignation, there was still a period of time before he officially resigned. During this time, he used the resources at hand to investigate the capital media.

After all, he is specialized in TV network business, and he did not spend too much effort to investigate the plot and figure out the valuation.

If you simply calculate the net worth, Capital Media is indeed around 5 million.

And any company has debts, and Capital Media is no exception. Adding debts, it is about 8 million.

In addition, the brand value, the number of Internet users, the film libraries owned by the company, copyrights, including the artists and employees signed by the company, these are the company's wealth.

Adding these together, it is about 10 billion.

Metropolis Media is not bankrupt, but someone else wants to buy it. The other party will give up a well-run company, give up future profits, and sell at a premium.

A simple acquisition of some shares requires at least a 20-30% premium, let alone an acquisition of a company.

The folk saying is the so-called transfer fee. For a profitable store with a cost of 100 million, the transfer will cost 100 million.

Pete Chernin is now worried about whether Sean is going to give up the acquisition plan in such a hurry to find him.

To be honest, he blamed Sean a little bit in his heart. Why did you spend so much money to acquire a company without investigating it carefully?

This... is so fucking nonsense.

Pete felt cheated.

"It seems that we have to change the way of acquisition." Sean sat down and said with narrowed eyes.

Hearing this, Pete breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why, I'm worried that I'll give up, how is that possible." Xiao En chuckled, "It's just that I used to think about a wholly-owned acquisition, and now I can only change the way."

"I got news from the family that Murdoch is going to acquire part of the shares, and use the shares of the company under his name to replace them and mortgage the shares for loans to complete the snack business."

Hearing that the family got the news, Pete's eyes lit up immediately.

With the backing of the Rockefeller consortium, Pete will be fearless.

Of course Sean knew what Pete was thinking, but he wouldn't say it.

This is not called cheating!

How can the businessman's business be a lie?

"I won't use the company's shares for replacement." Sean told Pete his thoughts, "I can only buy a part of the shares and become a major shareholder. I will find a way to raise money."

"What I asked you to mean is that after the acquisition of Capital Media Company, you will take over as the president, but for the time being, no media group will be formed, and Sean Film and Television will operate independently."

"I will form a wholly-owned subsidiary under Sean Films, just like your current job, specializing in the production of TV dramas and TV shows, and the production will be separated."

"After a period of development and the growth of the wholly-owned subsidiary, Capital Media will be used to annex Sean Films to dilute the shares of other shareholders."

"What do you think?" Sean looked at Pete.

"It's a good way." Pete said with a smile, as to whether the production of TV programs and drama series can be successful and whether they can be popular.

Pete was sure of it, because that's what he was made to do, after all.

"If that's the case, we can first acquire a part of Capital Media's shares from the small shareholders." Pete thought for a while and said, "I have some connections. Ask around, and we should be able to find out who has the intention to sell the shares in our hands."

"Okay, I asked Lamb to contact Capital Media, and we can meet together later, you are my trump card." As he spoke, Sean smiled and said, "I thought I was just embarrassing Murdoch, hehe, see When it comes to you, they will know my determination."

"I'm very happy to play such a big role." Pete said with a smile.

……

While Sean was busy setting up the media group, on the other side, Robert A. Owens rushed to the shipyard.

It is impossible to speed up the renovation and maintenance, unless you add money.

The price was quickly negotiated, and the shipyard was very happy. They just liked these expedited ones. It was nothing more than a slight adjustment of the work plan. There was no extra cost for some workers from other product lines.

In addition, Robert A. Owens also proposed to install a set of shipboard anti-aircraft weapons.

The missile system originally planned to be installed was only quadruple Harpoon anti-ship missiles, but since it was going to the Persian Gulf, it was bound to be threatened by the Ilang Air Force, so it was necessary to install a set of anti-aircraft missiles.

I discussed it before coming here, and finally decided to add a set of 'Tatar' air defense missiles.

Tatar air defense missile, code-named RIM-24, is the first generation of ship-to-air missile system in the United States. It was developed in 1958 and entered service in 1961. On destroyers and frigates of the US Navy.

Iraq purchased Italian wolf-class frigates equipped with the US'Sea Sparrow' air defense missiles.

Sparrows, from hearing it, knew that they could only eat small things like bug food. Sean didn't like this kind of crap.

The facts are indeed true. The Sea Sparrow was originally an air-to-air missile, a combat missile used on fighter jets. The range depends on the speed of the fighter jet and the direction of the target.

If it is charged head-on at full speed, the theoretical maximum range can reach 35 kilometers, but if it is a pursuit, it is only five kilometers.

In other words, as long as it is five kilometers away, there is nothing to be afraid of.

After all, it is a little sparrow!

However, it is a little bit close to hitting a plane, but it will be continuously developed on this basis in the later stage, and it can be used as an anti-missile interception system on a battleship. For direct missiles, this little thing is still very useful.

Look no further at 'Tatars'!

The Tatars, that is the existence that the Europeans hailed as the whip of God, the king of riding and shooting, and the existence of invincible hands across the Eurasian continent.

Full semi-active radar homing guidance, with a maximum range of 19 kilometers, a maximum height of 12 kilometers, and a maximum speed of 2.5 times the speed of sound.The length of the whole bomb is 4.6 meters, the diameter of the bomb is 0.34 meters, and the mass of the whole bomb is 680 kg.

The shooting range is 4 times that of the little sparrow, faster, more accurate, fully computer-controlled, and more sensitive.

Of course, money is even better! !
