Chapter 276： The temptation of Sky TV

Yang Cheng endured uncomfortably. It was the first time that he found that to endure a smile is a hundred times more uncomfortable than endure the pain. If he opened his clothes at this time, he would find that his abdominal muscles were trembling irregularly, but his face But it has a very serious expression, this technique is really not easy to practice.

What makes Yang Cheng even more depressed is that there is no way to answer these words at all. You can't say it along the way, and you can't say the other way. Yang Cheng was there for a while, and the whole person seemed to be still.

Yang Cheng didn't know if Wendy had exposed her ambition so obviously when she didn't have her in her previous life, or what kind of efforts she had made for this, and who she had asked for help.

But he knows the ending. Rumor has it that Murdoch gave Wendy up to $1 billion in break-up fees, including a courtyard house in the capital and the current mansion on Fifth Avenue. The two daughters are raised by the two, which is seen by outsiders. This condition is already quite amazing. In 30 years, I have grown from Cinderella to a billionaire. This is the best a woman can do. There should be nothing more.

However, in the face of the temptation of billions to tens of billions, how only one billion US dollars can fill this woman’s appetite, Yang Cheng pondered for a while, then asked sideways, "Ms. Wendy, Mr. Murdoch and the whole news The group may be hostile to you, right? Even with the help of the new era media, it will be difficult for you to win. Do you have a better solution?"

"No, I just hope that when I compete for equity and News Corporation uses the advantage of public opinion to criticize me, New Era Media can stand up and speak for me. This is enough."

Yang Cheng stared at Wendy's expression when she was speaking, and didn't see any flaws. It seemed that the woman knew in her heart that she couldn't ask Yang Cheng too much.

However, Yang Cheng did not agree to this. He made up his mind not to wade in the muddy waters, and he had a fair and honest reason, so he refused in a cold voice, "New Era Media is just a newborn baby and has no ability to fight. A veteran crocodile like News Corp? To provoke powerful opponents for no reason is not something smart people would do. Do you think I am stupid?"

"Of course you are a smart person, but everything in this world has a price, aren't you ready to listen to the price I offer you?" Wendy was prepared, with a confident smile on her face.

This woman also doesn't see rabbits or scatter eagles. If Yang Cheng's brain is hot for a while, she really wants to help the face of the same Chinese, then she won't have to pay, and the abacus will be cracked by this woman.

"Sky TV, if you can help me acquire the shares of News Corporation and enter the board of directors, I will do my best to help you buy Sky TV!" Wendy said categorically.

Yang Cheng took a deep breath. He wasn't scared by the reward, but thought that this woman was crazy. He laughed and said, "Ms. Wendy, do you know how big a cake Sky TV is? Unless Rupertmo Doc is mentally insane, otherwise he will never sell Sky TV. Don’t forget that even if you help you enter the board of directors, you are only one of the directors of News Corp. You can’t control too much voice. After all, you are not the chairman of the holding company. , And you don’t even have the chance to go your own way. How to keep your promise now?"

Wendy disagreed, and said with her shoulders clasped in her breasts, "I dare to say that I can do it naturally, depending on whether you dare to gamble."

Yang Cheng doesn't eat this set at all, wanting to fool him? no way!

Rupert Murdoch has repeatedly tried to acquire Sky TV wholly. The most recent one was just a few years ago. Had it not been for the eavesdropping incident in the News of the World, which led to resistance from the entire United Kingdom, Sky TV would have long been in his pocket. Of things.

What's more, News Corp. holds 39% of Sky TV’s shares, far surpassing other shareholders. If you want to grab food, you don’t need to prepare a $14-15 billion. You don’t even have to think about it. You can’t even get in. If he can't come up with so much money, if it is for financing, his shares in New Era Media will be suppressed to the lowest level. At that time, let alone the acquisition of Sky TV, whether he can keep his own position will be two things.

"Ms. Wendy, if there is nothing else, I will leave first. The company will have a meeting." Yang Cheng is really not interested in communicating with this crazy woman.

Even if Wendy tried his best to stay behind, Yang Cheng just exchanged contact information with Liu Wenwen and took the picture and left.

However, Yang Cheng did not care as much as he showed on the surface. Her heart was like grass. The big characters of Sky TV kept coming up in her mind, and her throat was dry. After all, it was the largest pay TV station in Europe, and it was close to it. 400 channels, holding the live broadcast rights of the Premier League, and maintaining a growth rate of 10,000 new users every day, their influence in Europe is second only to the existence of the two giants n and bbc.

Not only that, if he really wins Sky TV, his status in the UK will rise sharply, and countless political figures want to be his guests.

In fact, if Yang Cheng announced the official opening of the acquisition plan for Sky TV, it would not appear to be abrupt. After all, he has Liverpool, the traditional Premier League giant, for this purpose, he went further and sought investment expansion in the UK. In the eyes of outsiders It shouldn't be surprising.

Driving a Ferrari, leaning on the steering wheel with one hand, instinctively moving slowly with the flow of traffic, but his brain is running fast, he suddenly realized that now may be the only and best time to acquire Sky TV.

Probably because News Corp. eavesdropped on the phone and voice messages of British celebrities, politicians, killed soldiers and even missing and murdered girls not only ruined a 168-year-old weekly newspaper, News of the World, but also There has been a strong wave of opposition to the acquisition of Sky TV in the UK, and this bad influence will be difficult to dissipate within five years.

If a white knight joins Sky TV at this time, the British people and zf would be happy to see it. After all, they would be happy that Murdoch and News Corp. can be deflated.

However, Yang Cheng's most concern now is not whether he will commit a crime against Murdoch by forcibly acquiring Sky TV, but that he can't put out so much money at all, unless he borrows! With New Era Media’s listing as a guarantee, it is not difficult to borrow 10 billion US dollars. After entering the financial market, a large amount of funds will soon be raised to pay off debts.

It's just that the risk of operation is extremely high. When the foundation of the media in the new era is not stable, attracting the hostility of a lion at his door will make the next development difficult. This is what Yang Cheng does not want to see.

So, is there a way to get the best of both worlds? It can successfully acquire Sky TV without attracting the hostility of News Corp.

Yang Cheng felt that he should have a good talk with Murdoch in the evening. This old guy also knew that he was already notorious on the island of Great Britain. The strong man broke his wrist and withdrew from the UK in exchange for a large sum of money for expansion in the United States or other markets. Not a good thing, at least in Yang Cheng's view, the deal is a good deal.

As for Wendy? From beginning to end, Yang Cheng didn’t pay attention to her. Even with the infamy of crossing the river, dismantling the bridge and killing the donkey, he couldn’t resist the delicious temptation of Sky TV. Alas, you still need to think twice. fish! ...
