Chapter 1113: mega merger

But what made him helpless was that among the six major media groups in the future, Vijacomm, who was considered to be a shadow of a media group at this time, did find him, but the conditions he proposed were not good.

As soon as he heard that the other party was only willing to take 10% of the shares, Li Changheng knew that the company was only relying on Lianmei to increase its stock price.

As for the reason, if you think about it for a while, you will understand that if Via Comme, who also runs a TV station, is doing well, he will not be hostilely acquired by Redstone in the future.

And if you don't agree to Via Comme at this time, after the company is acquired by Redstone, it is basically impossible to buy shares.

In my memory, Lei Shidong even kicked his son and daughter out of the company for the sake of control of the company in the future, and finally got into trouble to the point of going to court.

I knew that the old man was far more controlling than Randall Hearst.

Moreover, the market value of Via Comme at this time is only about 1.5 billion. Not only does it have its own local radio and TV stations, but it also holds the operating rights and equity of most of the business of Geluanbia Broadcasting, one of the three major public broadcasting stations.

That is to say, as long as you control Viacom, you will indirectly control Columbia Broadcasting.

In the end, what Li Changheng is most concerned about is that the real rise of this company depends on the cable TV network.

And the patent of cable TV is in his own hands.

You only need to take out 15% of United Artists shares to get 10% of Via Comme's shares.

Then take the initiative to sell the cable TV network door-to-door, which is likely to force the board of directors of Via Cam to make concessions and give up more shares to itself.

If TV sales are added, maybe I can promote the super merger plan of 5 companies including United Artists, Via Comme, Hearst, and Columbia Broadcasting.

Thinking of this, Li Changheng immediately became excited.

Once the merger is successful, the largest and largest super media giant in the history of the United States will appear.

What's more, it can be expected that the two huge cakes of United American TV and TV sales, and the poor operating conditions of Columbia Biya Broadcasting and Viacomm, many shareholders, are definitely not willing to give up in order to increase the stock price.

As for Randall Hearst's media group, it is also facing the dilemma of not being able to find new profit points.

Li Changheng, who wanted to understand this, looked at Randall-Hurst and the others, no longer hesitating, but lighted up, and his heart skipped a beat when he looked at Randall-Hurst.

An uneasy thought instantly came to mind.

But after hearing that Li Changheng was willing to take out the TV sales company and merge with United Artists, Randall and the others immediately forgot about the uneasiness, their hearts were pounding with excitement, their blushing necks were thick and their breathing was heavy.

The TV sales company uses Hearst's TV station, although the outside world doesn't know much about the company's business situation in the past two years.

However, the sales amount exceeded 60 million in the first year, and reached 150 million US dollars last year. Shareholders such as Randall still know it.

It can be said that the market value of such a company alone will not be lower than 200 to 300 million US dollars.

If we introduce big Wall Street companies and make a lot of hype, after the A and B rounds of financing, as long as the sales data increases year by year, it will not be difficult for the market value to surpass the media group.

For Randall and others, it is indeed an advantage to merge them at this time.

But it is different from other shareholders who are delighted and will agree to the proposal without any hesitation.

Randall knew very well that once the three companies merged, he would lose control of the media group.

At the beginning, Li Changheng did not directly mention the merger of the five companies, except that he was worried about the monopoly and could not be approved by the relevant departments of the United States.

He also thought that once Randall disagreed, he would take the initiative to contact Via Cam, forcing the board of directors of the media group to put pressure on Randall, forcing him to agree.

Moreover, when Li Changheng thought of Richard Wilton who was fooled by him to go to the Knights Shield headquarters to receive training from the DEA, he had a vague plan in his mind.

As the hero who saved at least hundreds of people in the Manhattan bombing, the news about Richard Wilton was suppressed by Li Changheng's series of operations.

But it won't take long until the media feel that the public is not interested in the news of "Roman Holiday", the bombing, the 600 million US dollar bond, and so on.

There are bound to be reporters who think of Richard Wilton again.

After all, Li Changheng suspected Richard Wilton at the beginning, so there must be people in the outside world who doubt him.

Even in the process of the bombing and the recapture of bonds, the FBI and New York police, who performed extremely badly, may have been secretly investigating Richard for the sake of saving face and image.

Li Changheng transferred Richard before, in order to prevent the attention of the media and the public from being taken away by Richard.

Now that "Roman Holiday" has exploded at the box office, not only do you not have to worry about Richard returning to New York, you can even use some reporters and media who don't care about the news to pour dirty water on him to stir up this topic again .

Once the topic was heated up, Li Changheng finally intervened in Richard's case as a savior, or as an FBI accomplice.

The media and the public will inevitably watch Li Changheng's every move again, and then come up with the idea of ​​going to the cinema again to watch "Roman Holiday".

By the way, if the reporter who exposed Richard's problem was Hearst's person, then when Richard was innocent, Hearst's reputation would be greatly affected.

The market value will also inevitably fall, forcing the board of directors to pinch their noses and let Li Changheng cut his flesh.

Of course, if the time for the board of directors of the media group to admit defeat is too early, then Li Changheng doesn't mind really ruining Richard.

Moreover, the DEA's invitation to Richard for training can be described as an attempt to stabilize him and transfer him away from New York to facilitate the undercover investigation of law enforcement agencies.

That kind of situation is beneficial to Li Changheng, which determines whether Richard is a hero or an accomplice.

As for conscience, anyway, it was the reporter who first reported it, and it was the FBI or the New York police who betrayed the news.

Li Changheng is nothing more than watching ~lightnovelpub.net~ with a cold eye and not standing up to speak out for justice.

Thinking of this, Randall's strong request for the merger must be considered first, and it has been voted by the board of directors, and after leaving with several other shareholders who showed dissatisfaction on their faces.

Li Changheng immediately sat on the sofa thinking, who will be the reporter who broke the news, and who will be the law enforcement officer who leaked the news.

After much deliberation, I finally decided to let the FBI take the blame.

After all, this case has been taken over by the FBI, and in the United States, either the FBI or the CIA are often blamed.

The reputation of these two institutions has long been stigmatized in the hearts of ordinary people in the United States, and as long as there are negative news, ordinary people, believe it or not, are willing to scold these two institutions first.

Otherwise, why are there so many plots against these two institutions in Hollywood movies?

In fact, they themselves are so black that they can't wash them clean.
