Ted Turner's eyebrows twitched when he heard this, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

"$8 billion, tbs Turner Broadcasting Company is yours!" Ted Turner said.

When Henry heard his offer, he couldn't help but laughed loudly: "Mr. Ted Turner, you seem to be a big lion. Tbs Turner Broadcasting Company is worth 8 billion U.S. dollars? Hehe, you can go find it. Time Warner Group, see if they are willing to buy tbs for $8 billion!"

At this moment, an extremely important board meeting is being held in the abc building in Times Square, New York, the headquarters of abc ABC. The content of the meeting is the acquisition request sent by Williams Film and Television Media Group!

The chairman of abc company and Collier Grantham announced in a deep voice: "Williams Media Group has proposed to acquire abc broadcasting company at a price of 50 US dollars per share, with a total capital of 17.5 billion US dollars!"

All the major shareholders suddenly talked about it.

After dozens of minutes, after a vote, the majority agreed to sell the company!

Most of the stockholders of abc company are investment companies. They invest in abc company just to make money. Now some people are willing to buy the company at a high price, and they are naturally willing to sell it!

But, who wouldn't want to make more money? Didn't Disney always want to acquire abc broadcasting company, then let the two of them compete!

Therefore, ABC Broadcasting Company held a press conference to deliberately disclose the news and declared to the public: "ABC Broadcasting Company received the acquisition request from Williams Film and Television Media Group today. After serious consideration by the board of directors, ABC Broadcasting Company finally made the decision. Make a decision and are willing to accept negotiations with Williams Film and Television Media Group!"

As soon as the news came out, the industry was shocked!

ABC Broadcasting Company is one of the three major television networks in the United States. If Williams Media Group acquires ABC Broadcasting Company, it will immediately be promoted to a giant in the media industry!

Many companies have ambitions for abc broadcasting company and want to acquire it! However, the market value of the abc broadcasting company is too high, it is too much to do but not enough! Among them, Disney's desire to acquire abc broadcasting company is the most intense!

But in the 1980s, Disney has been tepid, until the new eo Michael Eisner led the company to develop rapidly. But even so, Disney's accumulated strength is difficult to swallow abc broadcasting company.

ABC Broadcasting Company has always been Disney's largest partner, Disney has long regarded ABC Broadcasting Company as its own bag, accumulating strength, and trying every means to acquire ABC Broadcasting Company! But at this moment, there are other companies wanting to acquire ABC Broadcasting Company. How can this not be called Disney's jump? !

When Michael Eisner received the news, he immediately yelled in the conference room. When he got up on his chair, he accidentally touched the water glass on the table to the ground. The glass banged and made a harsh sound, listing countless Small fragments.

The entire conference room was suddenly silent and silent!

Michael Eisner has been the dictator of the Disney Company since he took office. He has a grumpy temper and absolute authority. No one dares to resist him!

"In any case, Disney must acquire abc Broadcasting Company, immediately notify Disney's major shareholders, and hold a board meeting!!!"

"Mr. Eisner, it's 3 o'clock in the afternoon, I'm afraid it's too late?"

"Even if it is 12 o'clock in the evening, you have to invite them over for a meeting!!!" Michael Eisner roared at a group of men, and then walked out of the conference room door!

At 11 o'clock in the evening, the major shareholders of Disney arrived, and then the board of directors was held. At the meeting, Michael Eisner gave a detailed account of the status quo of Disney, and then repeatedly emphasized that Disney must acquire abc broadcasting company in order to realize Disney's strategic layout and create the most complete and perfect entertainment media industry. Ecological chain!

Michael Eisner's words persuaded Disney's major shareholders, the board of directors unanimously decided to acquire abc broadcasting company!

The next morning, Michael Eisner asked people to hold a press conference non-stop, announcing that Disney was preparing to initiate an acquisition of abc broadcasting company!

Coincidentally, some reporters filmed that Ted Turner, the founder of tbs Turner Broadcasting Company, came out of Galaxy Film Company. Although the news had not been completely spread, on the second day, Time Warner Group launched a campaign against tbs Turner Broadcasting Company. Acquisition request!

Ted Turner, as a media tycoon and owner of tbs broadcasting company, is definitely not as simple as going to the Galaxy Film Company as a guest!

There are various signs that Henry Williams wants to enter the media industry, Ted Turner suddenly appeared in the Galaxy Film Company, and the next day Time Warner announced that it was preparing to acquire the tbs broadcasting company, which is more patient and intriguing! ! !

The New York Daily said: "Williams Media Group wanted to acquire abc broadcasting company, and Disney joined the competition! Ted Turner, the founder of tbs broadcasting company, appeared at Galaxy Film Company, and Time Warner initiated an acquisition from tbs broadcasting company the next day. It goes without saying that Henry Williams has a huge appetite this time, and he plans to acquire both abc broadcasting company and tbs broadcasting company at the same time! And he has to face such powerful opponents as Disney and Time Warner!!! Henry Williams is one enemy and two, whether he can defeat them, it can be seen!"

The Wall Street Journal: "In terms of financial resources, Disney and Time Warner combined are less than half of Henry Williams's. I am afraid this acquisition is not suspenseful!"

Los Angeles Times: "Henry Williams' entry into the media industry is unstoppable!"

On that day, the stock prices of NBC Broadcasting Company and CBS Broadcasting Company fell wildly.

Spokespersons for the NBC Broadcasting Company and the CBS Broadcasting Company stated: "Once Henry Williams acquires the ABC Broadcasting Company, it will mean that disaster for the American television industry is imminent!!!"

Henry saw this. Can't help but touch his nose, are they as good as it is? Is he so scary?

Ted Turner did not negotiate with Henry that day. After leaving the Galaxy Film Company, he disclosed the news to Time Warner. Time Warner had long wanted to take the tbs broadcasting company as its own. Therefore, he hurriedly initiated an acquisition request to it.

However, Time Warner is only willing to invest US$5.5 billion to acquire the tbs broadcasting company, and this price is obviously not in line with the ideal price in Ted Turner's mind. Ted Turner negotiated with Time Warner for a period of time, and Time Warner finally made a decision and was willing to increase the purchase price to $6 billion.

For this price, Ted Turner is still not satisfied.

Ted Turner had to talk to Henry again. Now, Ted Turner has read the news and learned that Henry is not only acquiring the tbs broadcasting company, but also the abc broadcasting company! As a result, he couldn't help being shocked. At the same time, I also figured out one thing: his own tbs broadcasting company may not be the main target of Henry Williams’ acquisition, but abc broadcasting company is

As a result, Ted Turner no longer has the mentality of the odd goods he had before, and he is willing to lower the price.

After thinking twice, Ted Turner finally called Henry and said: "Mr. Williams, $7 billion, I am willing to sell it to you!!!"

Henry is not surprised at all. Time Warner already owns H-wave and many other TV stations. The desire for tbs broadcasting company is not as strong as Disney's. Now the market value of the tbs broadcasting company is only more than 5 billion US dollars, and Time Warner can reach 6 billion US dollars, which is considered a great determination. If he was asked to raise the price to acquire the tbs broadcasting company, he would feel that the gains outweighed the gains.

"Mr. Turner, I am willing to spend up to 6.5 billion US dollars! You should know that if I buy abc broadcasting company, tbs broadcasting company will only be icing on the cake for me! I can buy it or not. In addition, Time Warner’s bid is probably much lower than mine!" Henry said with a faint smile.

"This" Ted Turner couldn't help but hesitate.

Henry smiled and said: "Mr. Turner, you'd better make a decision early. Once I acquire abc broadcasting company, maybe I will lower the bid for tbs broadcasting company!"

Ted Turner's face suddenly changed when he heard this!

At this time, Henry said again: "Mr. Turner, you continue to think about it, I am waiting for your call!" As soon as Henry's voice fell, he hung up before Ted Turner could speak.

Ted Turnache really felt the influence of the Internet on the tbs broadcasting company. Coupled with Henry's words, he has made a decision in his heart, that is to get rid of early and sell the company!

Ted Turner did not put down the phone, listening to the busy tone of "beep beep", he was already lost in thought. He was wondering whether or not to agree to Henry Williams' terms, but for now, he is the buyer with the highest bid!

The competition of ABC Broadcasting Company is far more fierce than that of TBS Broadcasting Company. Michael Eisner is bent on acquiring ABC Broadcasting Company. Disney Company even bid for US$18 billion. Many Disney Company executives are frequently contacting many US banks such as Citigroup!

The major shareholders of Disney also issued public statements, expressing their willingness to invest in helping Disney win the abc broadcasting company!

That is to say, Henry is not only facing a Disney company, but the major shareholders behind Disney and its strategic partners!

Disney eo Michael Eisner appeared in a high-profile abc TV news interview and threatened: "It is imperative for Disney to acquire abc broadcasting company! Citibank, Bank of America, and Wells Fargo have agreed to lend Disney!"

The major media couldn't help being shocked, and Disney seemed to have really made a lot of determination! You know, the loan interest alone has to be close to one billion U.S. dollars a year, which is extremely stressful. If after the acquisition of abc broadcasting company, the money earned in a year is no more than one billion dollars more than before, then it will be a big loss!

Maybe because of the loan, the company will be dragged down and plunged into a financial crisis!

It’s common for companies to go bankrupt due to the high debt ratio.

The team Henry sent to negotiate immediately responded to the situation with Henry. After Henry listened, he said lightly: "We will add 2 billion as much as they give out. What's the point!"

Adding 2 billion US dollars is also a "meaning"?

The other end of the phone was stunned and speechless, and it took a long time to react before responding.

"Boss, then I will re-quote to abc broadcasting company now!"

"Well, go!"

For ABC Broadcasting Company, Henry is also inevitable. As one of the three major television networks, ABC Broadcasting Company covers the entire United States and has a huge influence. If you say that there is no TV network covering the entire United States, how can you be embarrassed to call it a media giant?

The significance of Henry's decision to buy the abc broadcasting company is far more important than using it for profit.

From Henry's point of view, ABC Broadcasting Company is a powerful propaganda weapon. Henry can use it to arm himself or to attack others! In terms of making money, the combined profits of the entire US television network are not as good as the money made by the Nintendo family, and Nintendo is nothing in front of Henry!

Soon, the negotiating team conducted a new round of negotiations with abc broadcasting company. After the negotiation, out of the abc building, a group of reporters swarmed in and asked, "Excuse me, how much is Henry Williams going to invest in acquiring the abc broadcasting company this time?"

"Our boss said, it means to increase by 2 billion US dollars!" The negotiating team leader said to reporters indifferently.

When the reporter heard this, he was a little dumbfounded. Henry Williams was spending money like dirt, and he could no longer describe it! ! !

"What, the other party actually offered 20 billion U.S. dollars?!!!" Michael Eisner almost wanted to vomit blood, especially when the other party also said "2 billion U.S. dollars is just a meaning", which made Michael Eisner very angry and couldn't help but feel sad. I worked so hard and borrowed money on my own side, and finally added 500 million to Henry’s previous quotation of 17.5 billion US dollars. I never thought that my quotation was kicked off by the other party before Henry’s quotation was warm, or even directly. Suddenly added 2 billion U.S. dollars to my quotation! Two billion dollars, did you think it was toilet paper for wiping your buttocks? You actually added so much? ! !

"Eisner should give up. Henry Williams' financial resources are not comparable to us! According to reliable sources, he made a lot of money during the collapse of the Soviet Union."

"Yes, he is too rich, we can only give up"

"Eisner, give up abc broadcasting company, we can also look for other targets, among the three major television networks, the controlling party of nbc broadcasting company is General Electric, we want to buy nbc broadcasting company from it, I’m afraid it’s not certain. Yes. The only remaining target is cbs CBS!!!"

Michael Eisner was silent for a while, and finally sighed, "There is no way, it can only be so."

The next day, Disney announced its withdrawal from the battle for acquisition of abc broadcasting company!

Disney's withdrawal also means that Henry has no obstacle to acquiring abc broadcasting company. In the following week, the two parties quickly signed an acquisition agreement. Williams Media Group completed the acquisition plan for abc broadcasting company. As for the acquisition funds, the first payment was 3 billion US dollars, and the rest will be next month. pay off!

When Ted Turner heard that Disney announced its withdrawal from the acquisition, he was anxious at the time. He immediately picked up the phone and contacted Henry, saying that even for $6.5 billion, he was willing to sell the tbs broadcasting company!

Henry smiled and agreed, and then signed a contract with him.

After signing the contract, Ted Turner shook his head and complained: "When you bought the abc broadcasting company, you were spending money; but when it came time to buy the tbs broadcasting company, you had to care about it. This is too much! "

"Hehe, if tbs broadcasting company can have the same influence as abc broadcasting company, i am also willing to spend money on it!" Henry laughed.

Ted Turner shook his head and sighed: "Forget it, tbs broadcasting company wants to develop to that extent, I don't know how many years it will take."

Ted Turner finished speaking and left.

At this moment, newspapers, television, and the Internet have made a sensation. The headlines are all about Henry's acquisition of two broadcasting companies.

"The new American media giant was born Williams Film and Television Media Group!"

"Henry Williams is domineering, forced to retreat Time Warner and Disney, and successfully acquired abc broadcasting company and tbs broadcasting company!!!"

""

There is a lot of discussion all over the world, Henry has no time to watch, he is busy integrating the two companies!

These two companies, one company belongs to the public station, the other company belongs to the cable station, both have, just right. ABC Broadcasting Company has always been a shortcoming in news, and the cnn TV station of tbs Broadcasting Company is one of the most famous news channels in the United States. Even the President of the United States claims that it is faster and more accurate and detailed than the national intelligence structure!

Cnn TV station has reporters all over the world, and it is one of the TV stations with the most reporters in the world!

Another well-known cable TV station under the tbs broadcasting company is tnt TV, which broadcasts various sports events around the clock and rebroadcasts other TV stations' repertoires! It can be said that tnt is a good sports station!

But espn under the abc broadcasting company is the world's largest and most influential sports TV station. Obviously, the functions of espn and tnt are overlapping.

Therefore, Henry changed the tnt TV station. First, the name was changed to vietv (movie and television station), which will broadcast movies, TV movies, TV shows, etc. around the clock. In the past, the shabby ones could only replay other TV stations' repertoires, but now there is one. The wealthy owners naturally want to invest in original movies and original TV series! From then on, vietv has to go from being a poor one to a "rich one"! ! !

Henry then split the abc broadcasting company into abc television division and abc radio station division. all the TV stations under the tbs broadcasting company were merged into the abc television division for unified management. As for the tbs broadcasting company, it was an empty shell.

The reorganized abc TV business unit has about 300 TV channels, mainly abc TV (public station), espn (cable sports station, cable news station), and vietv (cable movie and TV station), and these stations can also Have sub-channels, such as abc2, espn2, cnn2, vietv2 and so on.

The abc radio station division has 4,600 FM radio stations, covering more than 50% of the United States, and the number of people covered is as high as 80%! If Henry wants Americans to listen to his speech, at least 10 million Americans can hear it!

Although radio stations have declined with the development of the times, they still have power that cannot be underestimated!

After Henry's shareholding purchase of abc and tbs broadcasting companies, Clinton soon called to express his congratulations. When he spoke, his tone was more cordial, as if Henry and he were very close friends, Henry knew, and Clinton was pleased again. Own it!

"Williams, come to my house for dinner someday if you have time, I will let my wife Hillary cook for you herself!"

By ~lightnovelpub.net~ Can Hillary cook? Henry expressed serious doubts!

"Well, I will take the time someday and I will definitely go there and try Mrs. Clinton's cooking!!!"

"Haha welcome!!"

Then, Clinton went on talking nonsense for a long time.

"If I am elected President of the United States, I will definitely advocate the development of the Internet information superhighway!"

"Now that the U.S. economy is in recession, if I get elected"

"If I were"

Henry listened to his words, his ears became calluses, and he said hurriedly: "Governor Clinton, I agree with your ruling policy very much. Don't worry, the TV station under my name will do its best to help you canvass votes!"

At this time, Henry faintly heard Clinton's excited and rapid breathing. Then, Clinton no longer bothered Henry and soon ended the conversation.
