Chapter 909: Ultimatum game

Rupert Murdoch breathed more and more white gas, wrinkles on his face became more tangled, his eyes flickered unwillingly, and he stood and looked at Andy Smith with a smile.

"Many people have hatred and fear of me, mainly because I never show weakness, boy, do you want to start a war?"

"Haha ... don't get me wrong, Rupert, why would I want to have a contradiction with you, you know that my Ivana and your wife are good girlfriends, and my think tank has evaluated my character, of course. , Including many potential partners who have cooperated, they have done it, and did not expect that the two of us have much in common ... "

Murdoch opened his half-opened eyelid and looked at Andy coldly, waiting for the young man's next sentence.

"It's all the kind of extreme profit-seeking. For the benefit, you can see the wind."

Hearing Andy's words, looking at the meaningful smile on his handsome young handsome face, Murdoch took a deep breath, the cold air into his lungs, let him suppress the anger, step forward, and continue to move forward And at the same time said coldly, "Say, what do you want?"

"No, no, Rupert, don't get me wrong. I'm not the kind of shameless villain who likes to get something for nothing. I like to win-win. Do business. Everyone is profitable. Alright everyone, isn't it? "

Looking at Andy Smith's face full of sunshine and a bright smile, I could not help thinking of his two sons who let him down, and couldn't help sighing, the gap!

This kid can so brazenly trade this scandal with the scandal, and the practice of bargaining because of the unequal value has really reached the point of extreme profitability.

"Seriously, boy, although I felt that I had overestimated you before, but today I understand that I still underestimate your shamelessness! I don't want to know what you think of News Corporation now, I I think it must be that I don't care much, but it is very valuable to you, am I right? "

Andy wasn't upset by Murdoch's sarcasm at all. The smile on his face was still bright, and he was very close when he walked past a snowdrift and helped the old guy with a soft smile.

"Myspace, a once-popular social network site, News Corps has squeezed all its value, and now with Facebook, a younger, more thirsty, and smarter rival, it ’s nothing more than to stay in your hand. It's layoffs and losses until you exit the market altogether. Besides, aren't you looking for potential buyers? "

"Haha ... Andy, are you kidding me? Myspace is expanding globally, and the estimated revenue this year will reach 700 million U.S. dollars, but you said it would exit the market? How much did you value it until now? 60- $ 8 billion ... "

Andy rolled his eyes directly, and a taunted replies came out of his mouth: "Rupert, don't make a joke, do you really think that the valuation you shouted in the potential equity swap agreement with Yahoo as the real value? Not to mention other people, even Yahoo would not sign this agreement.

Since the parent company of News Corporation didn't even ask myspace's founding team for opinions, and signed a $ 900 million search with Google, the advertising contract began, and myspace began to go downhill. Last year, you piled up the market for a year, what about it? Is n’t it still a loss? The monthly traffic is still 76 million, and Facebook, do you know how much it is now? 54 million!

Now I am willing to bid $ 100 million to take over. I can continue to fulfill your contract with Google, how about it? "

"Impossible!" Murdoch replied directly. Although he didn't have time to manage the Jiao website of this club, he also knew that last year was the peak period, and the advertising profit was considerable, especially the promotion of various movies was very good. It was definitely a promotion Good platform, how could he sell 100 million to Andy Smith.

"Trust me, Rupert, you will regret rejecting this time today. Don't say 100 million, no one will take over 50 million!"

Andy shook his head with a pity and sighed. He originally thought that he could get the myspace website cheaply. If he did it properly, maybe he could rely on the advantages of the forerunner to seize the half-dominated market in the Jiao market. It was evenly divided with Facebook, but it seemed to be Nothing more.

The myspace website will continue to fall into infighting, chaotic management rights, loss of fighting spirit, and slowly sink until it is fully compressed by Facebook and declining.

"Oh, maybe there will be such a day in the future, but it will never be the present, isn't it? Say your real request, I'm a bit tired!" Murdoch stood still, looking at An with a smile. Dee directly said,

"Well, since the first proposal was rejected, then my second proposal, I hope you don't reject me again." Andy said leisurely with his hands in his coat pockets.

"Eight local television stations in Cleveland, Denver, St. Louis, Kansas City, Milwaukee, Salt Lake City, Birmingham, and Memphis. I want $ 800 million!"

"Fxxk! You're robbing!" Murdoch's face went dark, his eyelids jumped, his expression became a little stingy, and he didn't care if he still kept his grace, etc., and directly swear.

"I know you're negotiating a deal with nine TV stations with a private investment company. At present, it's taw around 1.2 billion, but I think my price is more suitable, and you will agree, don't you?

Anyway, whether it is 800 million or 1.1 billion, it will help you focus on the business opportunities opened up after the acquisition of Dow Jones for 5.2 billion US dollars, and use the "Wall Street Journal" brand to attract TV station ratings and network traffic. We are a win-win, Rupert Don't reject me! "

"Do n’t think about it! Threatening to threaten me, you are extortion, shameless extortion, I refuse, if you want 1 billion US dollars is my biggest concession! I will not be held back by you ..."

"Rupert, believe me, I'm very sincere, 800 million U.S. dollars, there are only so many people, and no one wants things to go in an uncontrollable direction. I think the gifts I give you are enough to make up for the difference."

"Shet! No one can threaten me, no one! If you think it will make me lose, it's a dream!"

Andy still looked at his gritted teeth with a smile, his eyes full of angry cold mang staring, cursing his old guy slamming away and turning away from the back, couldn't help but poked his mouth, waved his hand and waved away, the car He quickly stopped in front of him and bent down into the car.

"Talk over?"

Andy smiled and looked at Li Xiaoying's puffy face and said, "It's almost successful, the old guy is very angry, but he has no choice. He dare not bet on the lethality of the evidence in my hands and my lethality. addition!"

"What have you extorted?" Li Xiaoying was a little hairy looking at the green wolf's eyes, and moved unnaturally to the other side. The speedy question distracted the little **** in front of him.

"It's a fair deal, $ 800 million to buy his eight TV stations ... Emily, what chun cream do you use, can I try it?"

"Go! You think you are Jia Baoyu!"

Li Xiaoying's hand stretched out and pushed away her big face, Jiao reprimanded, watching Andy no longer play treasure, and then said: "With these eight TV stations, AMC's cable TV network is almost complete. ? "

"Well, with the original 52 local TV stations, there are already 60. Although wireless TV networks cannot be established, there is no problem with cable TV networks. AMC is no longer just a cable channel!"

Andy has great ambitions to establish a television network and increase his influence and right to speak in the media world. A channel that only broadcasts old movies and several classic TV series cannot satisfy Andy's ambitions at all.

Back in the hotel, someone soon brought a document bag to Andy, and Andy didn't let the person return empty-handed. He also found a document bag, threw a USB flash drive in, and gave it to him. other side.

Holding the document bag, Andy walked into the office area with curiosity, sat on the boss chair, opened the document bag, and pulled out the photos and two documents inside.

"cut!"

Before I saw it, Andy thought there was something really hot and worried that several of his women had been exposed. After seeing the photo, he couldn't help but cut it out. It turned out that he and Ivana messed around in the living room last time. A few more sharp photos taken by Tou.

"Well, I miss Ivana's Zui a bit ..."

Andy looked at the photo of Ivana sitting on the rug and bathing her little Andy on the sofa, she couldn't help thinking of it.

Well, if these photos are posted, it is really troublesome. In the Internet era, the information will spread to the world at a rapid rate, and they will often be taken out to disgusting themselves and Ivana.

Thinking of this, Andy reached into the file bag and looked for it, and sure enough he touched a memory card. He was not afraid of Murdoch's old fox playing backup methods with him.

Picking up the two documents, Andy's pupils shrank involuntarily. This is a copy of the contract that changed the owner of the Australian estate twice. Even if Andy used the estate bought by the offshore company, it was finally transferred to With Charlize Theron, he still couldn't stand the investigation of a caring person.

Taking out the memory card, Andy found a card reader, turned on the laptop, plugged in and started to view the content.

Two folders, one for him and Ivana, and the other for a look. All of them are blurry photos of the Emperor Sai taken by the high-power lens tou, but the pregnant body and the bulging belly can be seen very clearly.

Fortunately, there were no pictures of him and the Cypriot together, but the old fox gave the photo directly to him, just to tell him that the old fox confirmed that the child in the stomach of Cypriot was his Andy Smith.

Andy looked at the two copies of the changes in the property rights of the manor and sneered.
