King of Hollywood Chapter 113: Or TBS?

"Nobody...compete with us?" The frown that Adrian just stretched suddenly wrinkled again, and a heart sank because of the thought. (Starting novels ~ watching novels online)

"Yes," Claude sighed and looked at him seriously. "Do you know where our weakness is?"

"...young." After a while, Adrian reluctantly spit out the word.

"Yes, our company is too young, and it has only been more than a year since its establishment. We have no more achievements that we can make, and we don’t have the background and qualifications of old companies. Remember before. Do I use the word "us" when capital needs nearly 20 billion? If we want to buy, we can only pay a high price, and once another group company also wants to buy, the only thing we can do is raise the price. Higher." Claude shrugged.

Adrian smiled bitterly and didn't speak again. The reason why he proposed the acquisition at this time was that he was caught off guard by Disney. In memory, Disney should have been acquired at the end of 1994. I am afraid that it is still in the planning stage at this stage. If you can seize the opportunity, you may not be able to take it from Disney.

But now after such analysis by Claude, he realizes that his ideas are still too naive. It is simply impossible to acquire such a huge enterprise without spending months and half a year on contact and negotiation. This gives the other party the opportunity to sell at a price. Even if you really want to sell it, you should buy yourself a good one. The price is.

If Adrian is working on it now, it’s okay if Disney doesn’t have any plans. If it does, it will definitely participate in the first time. Michael Eisner may be a tyrant, but he is also a shrewd businessman. Will sit and watch their two furry boys will be included in the bag

As long as you think about losing for ten consecutive years after being acquired, Disney still hasn’t thought of selling it, and still fills the vacancy with its own huge funds, you can know that this TV network spreads all over the United States to them. How important. Michael Eisner is well aware of the complementary role of Disney in propaganda and dissemination, so expect them to give up and think about how to raise more funds.

"It's really an unacceptable thing." Adrian sighed and squeezed his fingers a little unwillingly.

Although Claude hasn’t said anything, he is still very clear in his heart. If they have to buy, they may not have a chance of winning, but the probability is not very high. But in this way, it is inevitable that all the energy and resources will be concentrated on the competition with Disney. If it is won, it does not matter, but if it is not won, it will not be worth the loss.

The strength is still not enough. Adrian sighed in exasperation. If he can drag on for another three years, he will definitely be able to raise more funds, but now he can only watch the big meal in front of him but it is not tasty. If you let it slip away from your fingertips, there will never be a broadcaster with such a TV network all over the United States let him buy it, which will be a serious setback for the company's development.

A media company with a huge TV network is much more influential than media companies that only have paper media. Modern people can not read newspapers or listen to radio but not TV. Compared with newspapers and radio, the influence of television is multi-faceted. Sound, text, and dynamic images are also easier for people to accept the spread of information.

Or to put it this way, just like people reading novels, if they think something is a bit strange or forget the plot, you can stop and go to that section to read in detail and then continue reading. But if you are watching a movie, unless you are at home, it is impossible to ask the movie theater to go back, read the overlooked plot again, and then watch it again-this is why some directors like to arrange a lot of small details in the movie as There is nothing wrong with attracting the audience to watch repeatedly. Moreover, even at home, if you want to rewind the tape, you can rewind it, but after you rewind it, you will still have a strange feeling.

One is actively absorbing information and the other is passively receiving information. It is self-evident which one is more likely to affect nature. For example, Disney’s TV movie "High School Musical" will be an excellent example. If it exists as a movie alone, it will be at most the level of "Dancing Out of My Life"-and may not even be comparable-available. After repeated propaganda on the TV network, it immediately became a popular song and dance movie, which won a lot of votes for young idols and gained huge profits.

Therefore, in the Adrian plan, the TV network was a necessary option from the beginning-and it can only be-but I did not expect that after making a fortune in the Soviet Union, it was still difficult to achieve this goal. .

Of course, he can also choose to buy a channel on another TV network, and then gradually expand to the United States, which is not difficult. The high-view TV festivals and variety shows recorded in his head are not. Less, otherwise how could he vow to claim that he can be saved? Even if the relevant details are not memorized, but if a boss has all the details ready, why would he want to operate the team? And before that, he had Rafin prepared for the TV drama production department.

In addition, he can also focus on the Internet. Before he was reborn, the Internet had already killed the record, the paper publishing industry was also crumbling, and online TV had been on the agenda for a long time. If he would know If all opportunities are seized, it may not necessarily become a giant in the emerging media industry.

It's just that these two methods have to be controlled by people for a long time, especially the former. Although the latter has a broader sky in the future, the greatest advantage of Adrian at that time may have ceased to exist

Damn TV network. Adrian exhaled for a long time, recovered from his cranky thought, and looked at the buddy in front of him: "You gave me good news, and then gave me bad news, Crow."

"Okay, Ed, don’t do that," Claude said comfortably. "The TV network is important. I know, if you want, we might as well try it--or, consider another broadcaster? "

"Other broadcasting companies?" Adrian reluctantly spread his hands, "If you only buy them, it would be better to simply build a new one."

Crowder raised his eyebrows and suddenly thought of something: "I think there may be a broadcaster you might be interested in."

"Oh?" Adrian showed a curious look.

"TBS" Claude said that name.

"TBS?" Adrian blinked. "I think...I need an American broadcaster?"

"Aren't I talking about American broadcasters?" Claude was confused.

"Aren't TBS short for Tokyo Broadcasting Corporation?" Adrian is also confused.

"Tokyo Broadcasting Corporation? God, what is in your head?" Claude looked at him incredulously. He took two deep breaths, calmed his emotions, and considered the words. Then he asked: "Well, remember the most prominent news channel in the Gulf War early last year?"

"Of course it is CNN." Adrian rubbed his chin and seemed to hear something, "You mean to say..."

"Yes, CNN is Turner Broadcasting's channel," Claude nodded, "TBS for short."

"Turner Broadcasting Company?" Adrian shook his head and began to recall relevant information.

"If I remember correctly, TBS founder Ted Turner often attended my godfather, your father's reception, you should have seen him." Claude said in retrospect.

"Really? Let me think about it..." Adrian narrowed his eyes while holding his chin, and the hands on the small round table began to beat rhythmically. "With a light moustache, my hair is always from Combing from the left to the right, the eyes are small but very godlike, and the square face gives a very tough feeling."

"I didn't expect you to remember his appearance." Claude looked at him in surprise.

"It's nothing," Adrian waved his hand, and he seemed unwilling to talk more. "Do you think it is appropriate to buy TBS?"

"Of course," Claude nodded. "Although TBS's TV network is not as good as Fallout, there are not so many channels in the United States, but it is quite good in the United States. After all, TBS is not as good as entertainment. , CBS and other TV networks, but CNN has a solid position in the White House news group. More importantly, TBS is much cheaper, I am afraid that it only needs half of the funds. Since you said that you can get back to life, then Why can't TBS be taken to the next level?"

Here he raised his hand to stop the thought of Adrian chipping in: "I know what you want to say~IndoMTL.com~Ed. That's right, if you can successfully acquire, and you can do what you say Of those, then that huge TV network will let us go up several steps and also let us have more say. But, have you ever thought about it, if we are a company that has been established and developed less than two years ago Is the acquisition successful, is it too eye-catching? Don’t you think our foundation is not yet strong? If the expansion rate is too fast, it is easy to be caught by people and then..."

Claude made a gesture: "I have had a lot of dealings with the guys on Wall Street, and I know the risks-if the acquisition is successful, we will definitely invest all the funds, if there are people at that time Seize the opportunity to get some rumors or something. If we are not careful, we may fall into the trap and compensate for what we just got, so I think it is more appropriate to buy TBS. And even then, I do not recommend starting the acquisition immediately, we It takes more time and patience to make cautious contacts with the other party, at the same time collect all kinds of information, make the most precise layout, and be sure to get it in one fell swoop when needed"

Claude slammed his hand and ended his speech. Adrian didn't say anything. He sat quietly in his chair for a long time, gazing at the distance without knowing what he was looking at. Claude slowly opened his mouth after drinking a cup of coffee: "Well, then..."
