Chapter 1113: super merger

Latest website: What makes him helpless is that among the six major media groups in the future, Viacom, who is considered a media group at this time, did find himself, but the conditions he put forward were not good.

As soon as he heard that the other party was only willing to take out 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 a little, you will understand that if Viacomm, who also runs a TV station, is doing well, he will not be hostilely acquired by Redstone in the future.

Moreover, he did not promise Viacombe at this time. After the company was acquired by Redstone, it was basically impossible to take a stake.

Thinking about it in my memory, Lei Shidong even kicked out his own son and daughter from the company for control of the company in the future, and finally made trouble to the point of going to court.

Just know that the old man is far stronger than Randall Hirst's desire to control.

Moreover, the market value of Viacombe at this time is only about 1.5 billion. It not only has its own local radio and TV station, but also holds the operation rights and equity of most of the business of Gobbia Broadcasting, one of the three major public broadcasters.

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

The patent for cable TV is in its own hands.

You only need to take out 15% of Lianmei's shares to get 10% of Viacombe's shares.

Then take the initiative to sell the cable TV network, which may force the board of Viacombe to make concessions and give more shares to itself.

If you add TV sales, you may be able to facilitate the super merger plan of 5 companies including United United, Viacom, 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.

And it can be expected that the two huge cakes sold by Lianmeijia TV are in the bad operation situation, and many shareholders of Columbia Broadcasting and Viacomm are definitely not willing to give up in order to raise the stock price.

As for Randall Hearst's media group, it is also facing the dilemma of finding new profit points.

Li Changheng, who wanted to understand this, looked at Randall Hirst and others, and he was no longer hesitant.

An uneasy thought came to mind instantly.

But after hearing that Li Changheng was willing to take out the TV sales company and merge with Lianmei, Randall and the others immediately forgot the uneasiness, and turned to their excited hearts pounding, and their blushing neck and thick breathing became heavy.

The TV sales company used Hearst's TV station, although the business situation of this company in two years is not well known to the outside world.

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

It can be said that the market value of such a company alone will not be less than 23 billion US dollars.

If the big Wall Street companies are introduced and hyped up, after the A and B rounds of financing, as long as the sales data increases year by year, it is not difficult for the market value to surpass the media group.

For Randall et al, merging them at this point was indeed a bargain.

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

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

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

I also thought that once Randall disagreed, I would take the initiative to contact Viacom, forcing the board of directors of the media group to put pressure on Randall to force him to agree.

Moreover, when Li Changheng thought of Richard Wilton, who was fooled by himself to the Knights Shield headquarters and received DEA training, he had a vague plan in his heart.

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

But it didn't take long until the media felt that the public was not interested in news such as "Roman Holiday", the bombings, and $600 million in bonds.

There are bound to be reporters who are reminded of Richard Wilton.

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

Even in the process of the bombing and the bond recovery, the FBI and the New York police, who performed extremely badly, may have been secretly investigating Richard in order to save face and save their image.

Li Changheng previously transferred Richard in order to avoid the media and public attention being taken away by Richard.

Now that "Roman Holiday" is a big hit at the box office, not only do you not have to worry about Richard returning to New York, but you can even use some journalists and media who don't care about anything for the news to pour dirty water on him to raise the topic again .

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

It is inevitable that the media and the public will stare at Li Changheng's every move again, and then have the idea of ​​entering the cinema again and watching "Roman Holiday" again.

By the way, if the reporter who exposed Richard's problems was Hearst's, then when Richard was cleared, Hearst's credibility would have been greatly affected.

The market value is bound to fall, forcing the board of directors to pinch the nose and let Li Changheng cut the flesh.

Of course, if the board of directors of the media group admits defeat too soon, then Li Changheng doesn't mind really destroying Richard.

Moreover, the DEA's invitation to Richard's training could be described as an attempt to stabilize him and move him out of New York to facilitate undercover investigations by law enforcement agencies.

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

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

Li Changheng was just watching from the sidelines~lightnovelpub.net~ and didn't stand up and claim justice.

Thinking of this, after Randall strongly demanded that the merger should be considered first, and voted by the board of directors, after leaving with several other shareholders with dissatisfaction on their faces.

Li Changheng immediately sat on the sofa thinking about who should be the reporter who broke the news and who should 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 robbed by the FBI, and in the United States, it is either the FBI or the CIA who often takes the blame.

In the hearts of ordinary people in the United States, these two institutions have long had a bad reputation, and as long as there is negative news, ordinary people, whether they believe it or not, are willing to scold these two institutions for a few words.

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

It's really that they are so black that they can't wash them clean.
