My Age of Investment

   Chapter 703

  "Dalun, you only need to post the relevant materials to Facebook and YouTube, and the two platforms will provide some help in dissemination, and the rest will be ignored..."

   Lei Shi Dongyue said that the more excited he became, at his age, there were not many things that would interest him.

   Killing the old rival News Corporation, let Viacom absorb the nutrients of the corpse, and replace it, which is one of the few things that can make him feel excited.

  Before leaving this world, completing the last business war in his life, this is called a vigorous life.

  The annual revenue of News Corporation at this time is more than 20 billion U.S. dollars, and the net assets are 70 billion U.S. dollars. It controls 40% of TV stations in the United States, 40% of British newspapers, and 70% of Australian newspapers...

  In terms of volume, it is the third largest media empire in the world, second only to Time Warner and Disney, and it ranks ahead of the three giants of Viacom, NBC Universal, and Sony Columbia.

  "Darren, when the news was detonated in the UK, you manipulated the UK YouTubers to protest like the US YouTubers boycotted News Corp...

  After the news reaches the United States, the five of us will immediately arrange the next step.

  Everyone joins hands and hits News Corporation with a great success rate.

  By then, Murdoch’s media empire will be cracked and it will be dismantled. Will the oil pipes be resolved?

  I tell you, this is a golden opportunity..."

   "Mr. Lei Shidong."

  Xia Jingxing suddenly said, Lei Shidong's speech was forced to interrupt.

  "Daren, what's the matter, do you think this is an amazing plan? Let me give you the bottom line, I have been planning this action since last year..."

   Listening to the old man's continuous introduction of his preparations, Xia Jingxing's mouth twitched and his smile was weird. He felt that the old man didn't flick him, but he almost flicked himself.

Take the large-scale eavesdropping in 2011 as an example. It was known to the world. Everyone shouted and screamed and killed. Even if it fell to such a miserable level, News Corp. was not completely nailed to death, let alone the small-scale eavesdropping in 2006. The door is up.

  When the size of the enterprise reaches a certain level, external factors and non-administrative forces are already difficult to kill, and they have to rely on their own internal work.

   "Mr. Lei Shidong, do you really think News Corporation is so vulnerable?"

   "Dalun, what do you mean?" Lei Shidong's tone was somewhat questioning.

  Xia Jingxing smiled, "Hehe, I also really want to beat News Corp. completely unable to turn over, but we can't distort reality!

  In the asset structure of News Corporation, entertainment businesses such as satellite TV, cable TV and film companies contribute 70% of revenue, while newspapers only account for 20% of revenue.

  The newspaper business in the United Kingdom accounts for only a quarter of News Corporation’s total newspaper revenue.

  Even if News Corporation is forced to withdraw from the British newspaper market, it will not be able to shake their economic foundation. "

   "Not economically, but politically! Once the scandal spreads widely, News Corp may face a spin-off situation."

Xia Jingxing admitted that the old man’s vision is still there. After the eavesdropping in 2011, News Corporation was split into two companies, news publishing and entertainment. The former is still called News Corporation, and the latter is called 21st Century Fox. The original twentieth century Fox is one century longer.

  Traditional businesses such as press and publishing face the impact of the Internet, and they do not make money, or even lose money. They have always relied on blood transfusions in the entertainment business.

After the spin-off, News Corporation’s market performance was very poor, and its stock price remained low for a long time.

  One year before Xia Jingxing’s rebirth, 21st Century Fox had already been acquired by Disney for more than US$70 billion.

  The once prominent media empire has almost come to an end.

  However, because of this merger, the Murdoch family surpassed Jobs’ widow in one fell swoop and became Disney’s largest individual shareholder.

  While Disney's annual revenue is more than 60 billion US dollars, after the acquisition of 21st Century Fox, a company has occupied nearly 40% of the US movie box office, and it is a well-deserved brother.

Choosing to become the largest individual shareholder of this kind of promising company, temporarily dormant, shows that the old Murdoch still has the vision, but compared to the past, the Murdoch family has turned from the front stage to the behind-the-scenes, and the light has dimmed a lot, but, The bottom line is still there!

  Lei Shidong wanted to sneak attack on News Corporation and carve up other people’s assets. Xia Jingxing appreciates the courage and ideas of the old man, but he is not optimistic about this action.

   And he is a Chinese, and he ran into the Anglo-American political circle. This is purely to install a time bomb on himself.

  The old man wanted him to be the person who started the firecracker. He could only say that he had made the wrong calculation and found the wrong person.

  Moreover, he doesn’t think that News Corp. will be hit hard by this trick. The timing is not ripe. The time in 2011 was almost the same, but other methods have to be added. A scandal alone will not destroy the Murdoch family.

  "Dalun, listen to me, the Murdoch family only holds about 30% of News Corp. It is not impossible to subvert control, and they have never been monolithic.

  Because of the heir, Murdoch, the major shareholder and a group of minority shareholders, had a very unpleasant quarrel.

  If a scandal occurs and faces administrative penalties and pressure from various countries, the News Corp. may be messed up.

  Isn’t this opportunity here?

  In the past, what I inherited was only a small car theater chain store, but I developed it into the top media giants in the world.

  Do you know the secret of success? It means "acquisition, acquisition, and reacquisition."

  I took Viacom first, then Paramount Pictures and CBS.

  For more than ten years, I went from being an unknown theater businessman to a giant corporate controller with countless media resources.

  Young people, how big your heart is and how big your pattern will determine how far you can go in the future.

  If the plan goes well, how about I spin off News Corporation’s Internet assets and Asian assets to you?

  I heard that Envision Capital has a PE fund, but it has been engaged in "minority equity investment" and "growth-term investment". Do you have any ideas to play with Buyout (controlling equity acquisition) funds? "

  News Corporation’s Internet assets and Asian assets, Xia Jingxing can only haha, this is the most tasteless asset of News Corporation, Redstone is really generous!

  But from this point, it can also be seen that the old man does not pay much attention to his ally, otherwise the future "trophies" will not promise him such a little.

  "Well, Mr. Lei Shidong, I think the top priority is to get rid of the oil pipeline dilemma, so as to clear the obstacles and put the development of Hulu Video on the agenda.

  As far as I know, companies in the market have begun to notice the new trend of streaming media platforms.

  If someone else takes the lead, no matter how much creativity and ideas we have, we won’t be able to return. "

   Speaking of the Hulu video, Lei Shidong on the other end of the phone was silent for half a minute.

   "Does Hulu Video really have so much potential?"

  Xia Jingxing tapped on his forehead, he said and did so much, it seems that he still didn't fool the old man.

   is also normal, this kind of old and cunning tycoon is particularly suspicious, and everyone seems to be a bad guy.

   Holding the phone, Xia Jingxing said in a very affirmative tone: “Of course, Mr. Lei Shidong, your five shareholders are responsible for providing the content, Mr. Gates provides the funds, and the tubing provides the flow.

  Hulu Video has assembled the top resources since its birth.

  If it fails, who can succeed? MySpaceVideo stream? "

  Xia Jingxing made a little joke to alleviate the embarrassment caused by rejecting Lei Shidong.

   Lei Shidong sighed on the phone, "Really want to give up such a good opportunity?"

  Xia Jingxing felt that the old man was really persevering, and quickly replied: "This is not called giving up, and I choose to do what I am better at.

  News Corp. is actually walking on a very dangerous road. If you continue to go on, people who hate it will only increase.

  We have an old Chinese saying: "The wall falls down and everyone pushes..."

  "Okay, Darren, I see, you are right! I respect your choice and wait for my news!"

  …………

  …………

  Lei Shidong’s help came quickly.

   Viacom and the other four giants shot together.

  The propaganda firepower of the five giants was fully deployed, instantly reversing the unfavorable situation that the oil pipeline was at a disadvantage in public opinion.

  Since the special case of putting a snake into a movie theater and biting a person, there has never been any extremely bad incident in YouTubers.

  The movements and voices of protests in the cinema, attacks and boycotts of News Corp. have gradually decreased.

  Tubing, Luo Li turned into a talk show blogger, and responded to and criticized one by one in response to user queries and smearing comments on the Internet.

  "Thank you very much for your support to the tubing. With your help, we have received more than $600 million in investment. You have done enough, so let's leave the rest to the platform!

  You can’t do everything, and don’t even give us a chance to perform!

  I’m really going to do it, I won’t stop it, because I can’t stop it either!

  But, don’t let a snake bite anymore. It hurts to bite.

  YouTuber is a group full of justice and honor. Everyone must work together to safeguard the reputation of our group. "

  "The case is currently being heard. I swear in the name of God that YouTube will never do anything illegal. I also hope that all YouTubers will abide by the law and not do things that hurt others."

   "That is because the opponent is afraid. They are worried that the lawsuit will not win, so they use their media to discredit and suppress us. This is a manifestation of their guilty conscience."

   "Murdoch is in the hospital? The oil pipe can still send out magic attacks? Please don't believe in rumors."

  " Fans of Anne Hathaway and Gisele Bundchen demonstrated downstairs at the Youtube Company? They also beat the Youtube employees?

  Hahaha, everyone was deceived. The otaku gangs are so good at talking and shouting to avenge the goddess, but none of them came, which made us nervous. "

  ……

  Tubing is the best media. Although it is not as authoritative and influential as traditional media for the time being, it can cover enough people.

  Luo Li has recorded several videos, sometimes revealing the truth, sometimes impassioned, and sometimes ridiculed.

  The effect is very good. Countless users have remembered this new CEO. His rich expressions and classic speech clips were also used as material, edited into paragraphs, and became popular on the platform for the second time.

  So, the people-friendly and down-to-earth label is directly attached to Luo Li, and her popularity and favorability are not weaker than those of Areyouok at a certain station.

  The five giants helped to voice and clarify, and Luo Li, the oil pipe CEO and chief public relations officer, made a video to answer hot topics on the Internet, and the navy was scoring good reviews everywhere with rhythm.

  The original set of unstable characters in the oil pipeline was finally stabilized, and the News Corp. formed a rivalry in the direction of public opinion.

   Just when everyone thought that the two sides might be deadlocked, waiting for the opening of the court to decide the outcome.

  The tubing has another trick.

Five Hollywood giants including Viacom, Time Warner, Disney, NBC Universal, and Sony Columbia, and seven parties including YouTube and Waterfall, jointly announced that they would invest US$200 million to establish Hulu Video and jointly build an Internet TV platform.

  The corporate vision is to resolve industry copyright disputes and provide users with the highest quality program content.

  At the same time, the seven companies also signed an industry self-discipline, calling on more content production companies and Internet companies to join in, and everyone explored a path of "respect for intellectual property rights and win-win for copyright owners and Internet platforms."

  In addition, the five Hollywood giants also announced that they have reached strategic cooperation with YouTube and Facebook to authorize the online copyright of all their works to the two platforms.

  Facebook and YouTube also sent news stream announcements and video announcements to users as soon as possible, announcing good news and reminding advertisers:

   will soon re-list the video that was forced to be removed due to copyright disputes some time ago;

  Allows video bloggers to upload, edit, and reprocess fragments of works owned by partners;

  Restore the video sharing function between Facebook and YouTube;

  ……

  There are a dozen of them.

  As soon as these pieces of news came out, the haze on the two platforms was swept away, and the sword of copyright Damocles that had been hanging on the head was finally removed, safe!

  The happiest thing is that the users of the two major platforms have celebrated as if they were celebrating Christmas.

  Taking this opportunity, Facebook and YouTube launched a round of questionnaire survey.
