Murdoch smiled sincerely: "Eric, everyone knows that the ratings are counted by Nielsen."

"Nielsen is a commercial market research company, and its existence is also to make money, isn't it?" Eric asked unkindly, since it is a commercial company, as long as there are sufficient interests, tampering with the data It ’s an easy thing, especially in this era, the ratings of TV program ratings are still relatively backward, and the operating space for ratings data is greater: "Mr. Murdoch, since you have just agreed to my conditions, why not How refreshing? In this way we can also cooperate more happily in the future "

Murdoch scolded a swear word, this matter may even be related to Fox TV Network's future dominance, how could it be refreshing.

If it were not the persecution of the Eric just now, Murdoch would never agree to it anyway. But now, he knows that since he just fell off in the confrontation just now, the following few tricks were again seen and rejected by Eric, plus this boy is now pressing step by step, then this time it is likely to have to Pay this 10% of the shares. Because until now, he did n’t know the bottom line of Eric. He was n’t sure whether Eric would take the risk of default and transferred 《Friends》 to other TV Station. He also did n’t know exactly what the other three TV Station had given Eric. Such specific conditions. But in turn, Eric figured out his thoughts. From the moment he just nodded, Eric knew that even if a large shareholder was introduced for this, he would never allow Fox to lose 《Friends》. This alone makes Eric occupy an absolute advantage in this confrontation.

Since there is no way to recover, Murdoch must strive for more benefits as much as possible. After all. As a person whose control desires do not belong to Eric, even though Firefly of Eric will become the second largest shareholder of Fox TV Station, he still regards Fox TV Station as his private territory.

Remember that Fox wanted to participate in the 《Friends》 production and was rejected. Murdoch also realized that if the two TV programs mentioned by Eric could still achieve beautiful ratings. So, does it mean that the copyright of the main programs of Fox TV Station are all pinned in the hands of Firefly, which is equivalent to the pinch of Fox TV Station at the moment of Firefly, plus the 10% share obtained by Firefly, once he and Eric in the future There may be some irreconcilable contradictions, then. It is self-evident which shareholders, who are supreme, will stand on the side to keep a few ace shows.

Hesitated again for a moment, Murdoch slowly said: "Okay, Eric, I ... agreed, the specific things will be discussed later. But regarding the two programs you said, since Firefly is about to become Fox Shareholders, I hope you can provide ideas to hand over these two programs to Fox for production. "

Eric can hear that Murdoch really agreed this time. I was secretly excited, how many times this share may appreciate in value in the future, let alone say, share Fox TV Station. This means that his career has expanded into a whole new field. Of course, Murdoch gave him such a positive answer, then now he must also express his sincerity.

The statement that Murdoch said before is actually correct. If you want a 10% stake in Fox, one 《Friends》 is not enough.

Although there was some reluctance in my heart, Eric still said: "Mr. Murdoch, it is impossible to give the show full power to Fox. But I can promise that these two shows can be jointly produced by Fox and Firefly, share the investment and share copyright. "

Murdoch did not expect Eric to generously hand over the two programs to Fox. His purpose is to intervene in the production and copyright, Eric's proposed plan is very in line with his psychological expectations, so few have no bargaining.

In a short period of time, Eric was struggling to cope with him. Why is Murdoch exhausted?

"Since this is the case, please cooperate happily." Although there is red wine in the cupboard next to it, Murdoch has no energy to pick it up. He directly picked up the coffee in front and gestured to Eric.

"Happy cooperation." Eric also picked up coffee.

One old and one small smile at the same time, like a pair of years of friendship, but the quarrel, threat, and confrontation just happened never happened.

We talked about some more things, and it was almost an hour after we came out of the reception room. The wind in the corridor lightly blew, and Eric felt a sudden coolness, and took a few deep breaths of fresh air. Eric turned to the stairwell and returned to the party hall on the first floor.

The time is already more than nine o'clock in the evening, and party is at its high tide. Countless men and women shuttled back and forth, and there was a buzzing conversation in the hall, but it didn't seem noisy at all. Under the accompaniment of the band, a pair of men and women on the dance floor hugged and danced gently.

Eric is planning to find Aniston, and he has waited an hour anxiously for Robert Shay and Jeffrey at the stairwell to pull him aside.

"Eric, how are you talking about?" Robert first asked, although the gap with Eric shares is large, but he is already the second largest shareholder of Firefly after all, so 《Friends》's affairs are also in his interest Closely related. Although Jeffrey is very concerned about this matter, it is not as eager as Robert.

Eric showed a slightly heavy expression and said to Robert: "Robert, I have a bad news to tell you."

"Ah," Robert Shay opened his mouth. Eric had already disclosed some of his plans to them before, so when he heard Eric say this, he was inevitably disappointed, but Robert still asked a little unwillingly: "Do n’t ... Negotiation? "

Eric shook his head and said in the somewhat confused eyes of Robert and Jeffrey: "I mean, Robert, the Box Office share of 《Pretty Woman》 that I got recently was to pay you 60 million funds, but now, this sum The money may be used elsewhere. "

Robert and Jeffrey suddenly realized that Eric had just played tricks on them, and things must have succeeded.

Pretending to hammer angrily on the chest of Eric, Robert laughed and scolded: "Stubborn boy, don't go around, hurry up and tell the truth."

Eric stretched out his right hand and spread his five fingers in front of the two: "Murdoch promised to give us a 10% share of Fox TV Network at the price of 80% of the first broadcast of 《Friends》."

The two middle-aged people suddenly opened their eyes and Robert Shay swallowed. It was obvious that they were eager for what Eric said was true, but they felt unbelievable on Basic Instinct. A North America ranked fourth, and with 《Friends》 has shown a rising attitude of wireless TV Network10% shares, which makes Robert Shay can believe: "Eric, this joke is not funny at all, how many shares does the Murdoch family have?"

Jeffrey and Eric have known each other for a long time, and more than once saw a miracle happen on Eric. Therefore, after a short surprise, Jeffrey has believed more than 90%: "Eric, are you sure you are not kidding?" >

Eric took a glass of champagne from the passing waiter and held up to two people, saying: "Of course, guys, we are about to become one of the major shareholders of Fox TV Network."

This time, Robert and Jeffrey no longer doubted, both of them showed a look of surprise at the same time, Robert Shay was even more excited to raise the glass of red wine and drink it.

Although he has only 1.5% of the 10% of shares, as CEO of Firefly, it means that he will have the right to speak with the 10% of shares in Fox TV Network, which he used to be I never thought about it. After becoming a billionaire, Robert Shay's pursuit of money is not so eager, he is more concerned about power now, and his goal is to become the head of the excellent film giants like Michael Eisner. Michael Eisner also does not have much equity in Disney, but he still has the right to speak within Disney.

Of course, there is one thing Robert Shay did not realize, or deliberately ignored.

That is, Firefly still has Eric, but Disney is not such a person.

After a short excitement, Eric continued to the topic just now: "So, Robert, although Firefly can still pay 60 million USD to pay you, but it will definitely make the Firefly capital chain nervous, so I think, can you wait until the end of the year to pay you 60 million USD. Rest assured, I will pay you interest at the bank loan rate beyond the payment deadline on the contract. "

Robert Shay smiled and patted Eric's shoulder: "Of course it's okay, we are a family now, and I'm saying what these are doing. I have read the information, and at the end of the year, Firefly can't put out too much money, After all, the remaining movies of Firefly will be released at the end of the year, and it will be the middle of next year when we get the share of those movies. So, it will be fine to pay me the money then. "

Robert Shay finished, and immediately added nothing more casually: "Actually, Eric, that money doesn't have to be given to me, just exchange it for Firefly shares."

Eric smiled afterwards, pretending not to notice the words behind Robert Shay, and casually turned the subject away, after a few words, Robert left with a satisfied content and carrying red wine.

The Jeffrey that received the hint from Eric was a step slower and stayed. (To be continued)
