Chapter 466
William White is still in the patience of YY foot basin people. What he doesn't know is that due to the dominance of White Media, some people have already caused uneasiness.
"What, are you sure that Time Group has the ability to acquire Warner?"
"Yes, boss, the most important thing is that Warner does not seem to resist."
Such a large-scale merger and acquisition is naturally the favorite of Morgan Stanley. A business exceeding tens of billions of dollars will naturally require a lot of financial services. The most important thing is that it can find a rival for William White.
Obviously, Murdoch is a bit disgraced today. If it weren't for their support, he would have died long ago. However, such behavior was not only regarded as provocation by William White, but also could not satisfy the old guys on the board of directors.
It's one thing for a bunch of veterans to dislike William White, it's another to get them to take their money. Well now, if Time Inc. can acquire Warner, at least in terms of size, it will be a company at the same level as NBC.
"Buy Warner? Hehe, let them do whatever they want. In this way, there will be no rubbish who will say that I have a monopoly. You know, Filson, after splitting the company, the management expenses will double. These bastards, Why didn't you buy it earlier." Of course William White would complain that if he merged all his media groups, he would definitely be a behemoth.
Time Inc. is nothing more than a coward. His White Media has long been deploying globally. Many people don't understand why he wants to attack News Corporation. In fact, the reason is very simple, only this guy will become an opponent.
"Boss, the performance of their movies is not good, and it is inevitable to seek a breakthrough. It is reported that Damo will provide a package service."
"Old guy, oh, forget it, this is a normal business behavior, and we don't need to be aggressive, I don't know, I really thought I was afraid of their hugging to keep warm."
Felson thought to himself, this is because people are afraid of you, Olympic games can be said not to be rebroadcasted, so why don't you dare.
Now the big stick has hated crazy, especially in Los Angeles, people in the big stick city actually express their dissatisfaction by taking a walk.
NBC's response was even more provocative. We will not broadcast games that violate the Olympic spirit. Never will.
The eyedrops on this eye can make people hide their faces and burst into tears.
Of course, afterwards, the big stick protested, and then there were various threats.
When was William White afraid of this, and he directly put a hat on them for interfering in the news, and called him meow for interfering in the news of the United States.
As for the result, there is no need to say much. Although Peanutton was very upset, he ruthlessly dismissed the so-called protest.
Damn you, are you too stupid to talk about things? You can say that NBC breached the contract, but you can't let other TV stations do this or that. Let alone you Smectas, my buddies dare not say it here.
When the situation was almost out of control, NBC released relevant evidence and asked relevant departments to conduct a thorough investigation. The stolen gold medal must also be returned.
Facing these evidences, the arrogant Smecta hid her face and ran away in tears, this is really shameful. They really want to show their demeanor to the world through the Olympics. It's just that they don't want to show an ugly scene.
In the face of such a tough NBC, let alone a stick, even a group of consortium bosses can't help but look at each other. They're pretty sure that if there's really no media power to contend with, it's best to leave the rough boy alone.
"14 billion? Tsk tsk, if Warner is worth this price, shouldn't our valuation also increase, and the merged Warner will only be second."
"Yes, Boss, the prices in the secondary market have started to rise. In fact, the valuations of all Hollywood companies are increasing. It seems that Suomi is about to bleed again."
"Haha, it looks like I need to congratulate Coca-Cola, they made a good deal."
Filson smiled wryly. The boss is very happy to see the success of this merger. If this situation is known to the outside world, many people will definitely disagree. They may even think that William White is posturing.
Of course he wouldn't look at it that way. He came to the boss this time because he was worried that something might happen to him. The conclusion of the think tank is very clear. This merger will push up the valuation of the entertainment industry. As the world's largest entertainment and media giant, William White will undoubtedly benefit the most.
As for competition, as William White said, what is the use of an uncompetitive enterprise, it is better to sell it early, at least you can get some money back.
The foot basin people acquired Columbia, and Time Inc. acquired Warner. In the final analysis, they all wanted to compete with White Media.
GE dropped NBC, which now looks like a terrible decision. As the big man behind the scenes, of course Damo also wanted to find a place. Since News Corporation can't compete, then find another one.
William White, who turned to invest in the industry, really scared these old guys. From entertainment media to software services, from semiconductor to communication industry. It looks chaotic on the surface, but it is different in reality. A group of old guys were surprised to find that this guy seems to have occupied a place in many fields.
Damn, if you let him play, I believe it won't take too long. It's not that there is an extra consortium in the United States, but that Morgan Stanley and Rockefeller will be trampled under his feet.
The consortium has no way out, and it is impossible for them to accept any newcomers. Since you are strong in the media field, let's start with the media field.
For them, the current situation is unacceptable. It has always been the little Xiami below who keeps trying to surpass them. When did I become a little Xiami? This is really frustrating.
"The damn Justice Department."
"Boss, it's impossible for them to provoke NBC. As soon as our president took office, he immediately went to provoke his number one benefactor?"
Traditionally, the usual tactic of the consortium is acquisition or suppression. If it doesn't work, you can also take advantage of the antitrust lawsuit. Basically, you don't have to pay too much to make your competitors very sad.
"Boss, the split of the Telephone and Telegraph Company has been widely questioned, if NBC pushes the flames..."
In this spin-off, Damo played a very disgraceful role. If it is really deliberately targeted, I am afraid that both the Ministry of Justice and Morgan Stanley will be unlucky.
If they really had to fight against William White, regardless of whether they won or lost, the consortia in the south might laugh like crazy.
Their analysts pointed out that in the event of a fierce confrontation, the possibility of losing both sides is as high as 90%.
As for the off-market recruiting, the analysts did not say, they are very sure that this is the end of both.
The current situation is weird. They need to cooperate with William White, but they must suppress him.
Ever since, the target naturally chose the media field. Not to mention the top ten consortiums, even a group of old guys from the Federal Reserve Bank are very painful.
Five-faced monster? Haha, the second volume of the Twilight Saga is still ridiculing them.
