Chapter 645

Time Warner is a super multinational media enterprise, founded in 1990 and headquartered in New York. Its business territory spans the publishing, film and television industries, including time magazine, sports illustrated, Fortune magazine, life magazine, Turner TV network, CNN, HBO, DC Comics, Warner Brothers, and other media with global influence. It has been competing with Viacom and News Corporation for the position of No. 1 media in the world.

Mark owns mm, but the road of Empire expansion will not stop. For example, Murdoch, who owns News Corporation, has been trying to buy time warner to make it the first in the world. There have been constant rumors that Murdoch tried to buy time warner.

After several great changes, Time Warner fell into the hands of tycoon Martin Davis after the failure of its century marriage with AOL. Martin had no obvious intention to buy time warner and made no major reforms, but let him live and die.

Mark swallowed a mouthful and said, "the Federal Trade Commission won't agree."

Martin said, "money can make the devil push the mill. As long as the price is in place, they can cut off their kidneys and sell them to you."

The other party's bid and way of doing things are far above his estimation and imagination. Mark feels that the other party seems to be a person with golden fingers. He leads step by step and always can suppress mark and make his plans and schemes fail.

In only three years, he will become the biggest boss of Time Warner and the most powerful man in beimi.

Time Warner! Who doesn't want to be in the media industry? Mark doesn't care about money, but he is quite interested in things that money can't buy.

Even across the phone, Martin felt mark's greed and swallowing. He said, "I'm willing to sell. As for how to convince the vampires in Congress, it's your business. You should be quite satisfied with my offer."

Mark said, "yes." he was lamenting that this is the super rich. This is the person who takes money as a number. Mark even wondered if the other party noticed anything? Now Martin works, airtight, without any flaws. It's really tricky for a tiger to bite and stab!

Who can refuse such a big piece of fat?

Martin asked, "what do you think?"

Mark said, "deal!"

Martin laughed and hung up.

Mark immediately came to David (King) to discuss the matter with him. David exclaimed, "father is not so good to his son. Is the rumor outside true?"

It is rumored that after Martin's death, mark inherited all his inheritance.

Mark said, "who knows what he thinks, but he has no choice."

David and his family immediately called Donald and took off to Washington to discuss with Sophia. This is another expansion of the family business. Several main leaders must participate in and make decisions together.

Donald said, "where does the capital come from? Time Warner's market value is as high as 80 billion, and 30% is about 25 billion. Moreover, it is a pit and has been at a loss."

Sophia said: "the key to the debt financing of the foundation is how to get the consent of Congress and bypass the restrictions of relevant laws and regulations, which is the top priority."

As one of the members of the Federal Reserve, she has access to money and financing channels, but she should not be separated as a trust company.

David said: "I am responsible for this. Our lobbyists will lobby Congress to let them agree to our plan. The most is to find someone as a legal representative. As long as we don't directly incorporate him into the family fund, we are not a monopoly enterprise. We can bypass this by registering an offshore company."

Neither the Rockefeller family nor the Morgan family think they have much money, and mark king will not think they have much money. Instead, they think it is an opportunity to expand their influence and turn the family business into an empire. They are very concerned about this matter.

When they had only 2.3 billion assets, they dared to plot 10 billion enterprises Colombia and MGM. Now they have tens of billions of capital. It is not risky to plot Time Warner.

Time Warner has many advantages that mm does not have. At present, it publishes more than 64 magazines. Among the five best-selling magazines in the whole meter, Time Warner occupies four, namely time weekly, people, sports illustrated and fortune. In addition, other famous miscellaneous journals include entertainment weekly, Fortune magazine, InStyle, etc, It accounts for 24% of advertising revenue of American consumer magazines.

The world's largest online instant messaging software (ICQ); The world's largest online map service provider; The world's largest Internet access service provider (with 30 million users in the United States and 6 million international users in 16 countries), providing access services to 75% of Internet users in the United States; Cable TV channel with the most abundant film sources in the United States (TBS has 80 million viewers in the United States); Cable news channel with the largest audience in the United States (CNN has 78 million viewers in the United States and 151 million international users in 212 countries and regions).

Cable film channel with the most abundant film sources in the United States (HBO has 36.7 million viewing users in the United States and 12 million international users in 50 countries); The second largest cable network operator in the United States; The second largest film and television Library in the world; The world's largest manufacturer of CDs and DVDs; It has 64 magazines and 268 million readers.

Time Warner has more than 200 branches around the world. In 1996, Time Warner 23's revenue came from the United States, but their expectation of this figure was ultimately lower than 12. It can be seen that time warner is positioned as a global media group. It hopes that the global business strategy can stimulate its own development.

Time Warner is the winner in the absolute sense. It is the main operator for any media type and any media content form in the world.

Mm is more about entertainment, and they have great advantages in people's livelihood and civil facilities. In terms of traditional media, they are the strongest. This happens to be MM's weakness. The two complement each other. Mm will become the largest media empire on the planet.

This is the media empire in the dreams of leshton, Murdoch and Eisner. It is a bit as powerful as the original Disney.

In Mark's original world, Netflix, Amazon, Hutu and other streaming media have comprehensively impacted the film industry, making Hollywood sad. After Disney became the dominant super media, in order to resist the impact of Disney, Netflix and Amazon, Time Warner sold at * t, and News Corporation sold all its film and television business to telecom giant konscat, Forming a super consortium to control Hollywood is the development trend in the future, but now it is a very illegal and sensitive topic.

Even if the Wang family fund controls mm and Time Warner, it is inappropriate and suspected of violating the ban. At present, the example in this regard is the American online M & A of Time Warner. However, this is a textbook Level failure, and there is no clear support for this in the current federal legal provisions, which means that they have to exploit legal loopholes to succeed.

Fortunately, David is one of the top 100 lawyers in quanmi. He has a law firm, understands the essence of American law and has deep contacts in the judicial community. He will make plans for mark to ensure that they will not step on thunder in the merger and acquisition.

Mark said, "money is not a problem. Martin promised that money can be paid when it is available."

This is a big deal. The key to tens of billions of block transactions is not money. It seems that Martin just wants to find an excuse to give time warner to mark.

This is Mark's dilemma. He can't make the transaction between him and Martin public, which makes people always can't see through the transaction and situation between them, and makes people feel that everything is so absurd and even absurd.

Martin is really very kind to mark. Like a textbook, he deduces what is the kindness of receiving a drop of water. He should repay it with a gushing spring, and everything in front of him is very unreasonable.

Mark knew that it wouldn't be so strange if the amazing secret was known to others, but the secret was too heavy. Mark didn't want to turn against anyone in front of him, so he had to keep the secret and bear the responsibility alone. He said: "Not long after Martin knew his order, his things would be confiscated by the government if he didn't give them to me. He didn't have many choices. He didn't have an heir. His empire was just a castle on the sand."

Donald said in surprise, "no money? Really no money? Guys, it's April Fool's day in more than ten days!" seeing Mark's unsmiling and serious appearance, he patted his forehead and said, "God, the rumor is true."

Mark said, "I know what will happen in the next three years. Martin will trade Time Warner."

Donald punched him and said, "you're kidding."

David said: "this is better. The biggest problem of M & A Time Warner is money. If the problem of money is solved, others are not problems. We can easily solve and overcome it."

David and Sophia's biggest worry is what to do in the event of a crisis after transferring a large amount of funds? Without money, they can't cope with the crisis and better operate a new company. Now they don't have such concerns, which really makes people happy, which means that things are likely to succeed.

Sophia mused, "we will try our best to help you."

Of course, mark could hear the meaning of Sophia's words. He said, "it's not to help me, but to help the family fund. Of course, this time I want a large share, 50%. I have several lovers with me. It's time to give an explanation."

David said happily, "OK! I will help you with everything to ensure that this will be the guarantee of your love forever."

David obviously means that if he follows mark, this part of the equity is theirs, but if he runs away or breaks up, they can recover it at any time.

That's exactly what mark wants.

Donald said, "this guy is really willing to spend money. Fortunately, Giselle is not here. She will tear you up."

Sophia said, "to control Time Warner, you must first get the support of one person."
