Chapter 1964 1966 [TV Network]

  The reason why Xiang Nan is not interested in NBC TV network is because he knows that with the rise of the Internet, the ratings of TV stations are declining year by year.

  Young people watch online videos and play online games, and TV audiences are gradually losing, so TV ratings are declining, advertising revenue is declining, and influence is also declining.

   On the contrary, with the rise of the Internet, online video platforms have gradually emerged and made great progress. NETFLIX, YouTube, Hulu, etc. all have very good market value and earnings.

   Therefore, instead of spending tens of billions of dollars to acquire TV networks, it is better to invest funds in Internet companies, which will yield greater returns.

  Besides, Xiang Nan, as a Chinese, has been involved in the TV network in the United States, and he has encountered strong resistance.

   After all, TV networks have a greater influence on public opinion than movie companies. It must be in the hands of our own people, and outsiders are not allowed to touch it.

  On the contrary, Internet companies, because they are in the ascendant, have fewer restrictions. If you act quickly, you can take the video platform into your arms before the restriction policy is introduced.

  For example, Xiang Nan has invested in many companies such as Amazon, Google, Tencent, Netflix, Baidu, and Ali in the past two years, and his shareholding is relatively dominant.

  With so many network platforms as bases, Xiang Nan naturally doesn't care about NBC TV network.

  …

  But Xiang Nan doesn't care, as many people care.

  In the end, Sony reached an agreement with GM to acquire 49% of the shares of NBC Television Network at a price of 18 billion U.S. dollars.

  As a result, Sony Pictures has become a media giant like Disney, Comcast, Fox, and Warner, spanning film, television, records, publishing, and many other businesses.

  This acquisition also caused Sony's market value to rise sharply. It can be seen that investors are more convinced of this giant strategy of alliances.

  In comparison, because Universal Pictures does not have a TV network, its market value has dropped a bit.

   This put a little pressure on Xiang Nan. After all, he is the chairman of Universal Pictures, and when those shareholders and directors find that the stock price has dropped, they always ask him to come out and give an explanation.

  But Xiang Nan didn't stand up. The importance of the network platform has not yet been highlighted. Even if he blows up the Internet now, the shareholders and directors will not buy it.

   What's more, the Internet bubble will burst next year. Now that we invest in the Internet, when the bubble bursts next year, the stock price may fall even worse.

   It is better not to say anything, anyway, he does not rely on shareholders and directors for a living. Moreover, he holds the most shares of Universal Pictures, holding more than 60% of the shares, and is worthy of the name of the controlling shareholder.

   Therefore, no matter how loud the objections of directors and shareholders are, it will have no effect. The only thing they can do is sell their stock and leave Universal Pictures. But this is a good thing for Xiang Nan.

  …

  During the filming of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Xiang Nan also took time to go back to Xiangjiang.

  Shanshan is about to graduate from the School of Professional and Continuing Education of Xiangjiang University. Xiang Nan promised that as long as she obtains a university diploma, she will grant her one request.

   "Brother, you are really here~" Shanshan was wearing a bachelor's uniform, holding a graduation certificate, and happily said to Xiang Nan.

"Of course, today is such a good day, can I not come?" Xiang Nan smiled, then took the graduation certificate in her hand and looked at it, and saw that there was He Jianing's name on the graduation certificate, as well as the school's stamp. above.

   "Shanshan, you've done a great job! I know that you can do it." Xiang Nan laughed.

   "Thank you brother, I know that without you, I would not be where I am today." Shanshan said gratefully.

  If it wasn't for Xiang Nan, she would still be selling alcohol in bars now, living a life of precarity, muddleheaded, and a monk hitting the clock for a day.

"Don't say that, I just gave you a chance. You have today because of your own hard work." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Hey, by the way, now you can tell your wish. What is your wish? , feel free to mention it. As long as I can do it, I will satisfy you."

   "..." Hearing what he said, Shanshan twitched instead, with an unnatural expression on her face.

   "What's the matter, why are you being polite to me?" Xiang Nan asked with a smile when he saw it.

   "I..." Shanshan was still a little shy, blushing and unable to speak.

   "Well, since you don't want to say it, then it's void." Seeing this, Xiang Nan said deliberately.

   "No~" Shanshan hurriedly said upon hearing this, "Brother, I hope you can love me once more."

  After summoning up the courage to finish speaking, she was so ashamed that she wished she could slip in through a crack in the ground.

  If she said this ten years ago, she would never blush. But ten years have passed, and she is no longer the spirited little girl she was back then. She has cultivation, status, and self-esteem, and she doesn't want Xiang Nan to look down on her.

  Xiang Nan was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head, "Shanshan, I want to reject your request."

   "Why?!" Shanshan raised her head in surprise when she heard this, and then asked with a painful face, "Do you think I'm dirty?"

"No, it's not like that." Xiang Nan waved his hand, "Shanshan, I'm not as good as you think. To be honest, I've been in the entertainment industry for so many years, and I've been with other women a lot. I'm not a long-term lover. The man who is with me will wrong you.

   Now that you have a degree, a status, and a fortune, you can definitely find a man who is innocent, hard-working, self-sufficient, and who loves you and loves you. "

   "Brother, I didn't expect to be with you for a long time. For a woman like me to be here today, it's already burning incense in the ancestral grave. I just want a commemoration." Shanshan explained.

  Xiang Nan had no choice but to nod when he heard this.

  …

  Xiang Nan then stayed in Xiangjiang for seven days, spending a good time with Shanshan, and then arranged for her to join ATV as the assistant to CEO Xiao Dingjun.

   After she gets familiar with ATV's work in the future, Xiang Nan plans to hand over ATV to her. As for whether she can take care of it well, Xiang Nan is not worried.

   On the one hand, ATV has its own rules and regulations, and even the chief executive cannot speak up; on the other hand, he believes that Shanshan is loyal to him and will not deliberately harm him, and this is enough.

  You must know that the boss likes to use it the most. It is not a person with many talents, but a person who is loyal to himself. This has been the case since ancient times.

  Because capable people may not be faithful. If you can't be faithful and consistent, the more capable you are, the less useful you will be. On the contrary, even if the ability is poor, but loyal, it is worth cultivating.

   "Brother, assistant to the president?! Can I really do it?" Shanshan herself was a little apprehensive, and asked Xiang Nan anxiously.

"Why not, believe in yourself." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Ten years ago, did you dare to imagine that you would become a big star and graduate from college? Haven't you done it now? Remember, with me, everything is easy no problem."

  Hearing what he said, Shanshan could only nod her head.
