Chapter 276 The Temptation of Sky TV

Yang Cheng endured it unbearably. It was also the first time he found that enduring laughter was a hundred times more uncomfortable than enduring pain. If he lifted his clothes at this time, he would find that his abdominal muscles were trembling irregularly, but his face But it has an unusually serious expression. This technique is really difficult 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 it the other way around.

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

But he knows the ending. It is rumored that Murdoch gave Wendy a breakup fee of up to 1 billion US dollars, including a courtyard house in Beijing and the current mansion on Fifth Avenue, and the two daughters are raised by the two together. This condition is already very astonishing. In 30 years, I have grown myself from a Cinderella to a billionaire woman. This is the best a woman can do, and there should be nothing else to ask for.

However, faced with the temptation of billions or tens of billions, how can only 1 billion US dollars satisfy this woman's appetite, Yang Cheng pondered for a while before asking insinuatingly, "Ms. Wendy, Mr. Murdoch and the whole news The group may be hostile to you, right? Even with the help of New Era Media, it will be difficult for you to win, do you have a better solution?"

"No, I just hope that when I vie for equity and News Corporation takes advantage of public opinion to attack me, New Times Media can stand up and speak for me, and that's enough."

Yang Cheng stared intently at Wendy's expression when she spoke, and didn't see any flaws. It seemed that this woman knew well and couldn't demand too much from Yang Cheng.

However, Yang Cheng would not agree because of this, he was determined not to go into troubled waters, and he had an aboveboard reason, so he refused in a cold voice, "New Era Media is just a newborn baby, and has no ability to fight against it." A veteran giant like News Corporation? Provoking powerful opponents for no reason is not something a smart person would do, do you think I am stupid?"

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

This woman also didn't see the rabbits and didn't throw the eagles. If Yang Cheng's brain was crazy for a while and he really helped out of the sake of being Chinese, he wouldn't have to give the reward, and the abacus was cracked by this woman.

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

Yang Cheng gasped. He wasn't frightened by the reward, but thought the woman was crazy. He laughed and said, "Ms. Wendy, do you know what a big piece of cake Sky TV is? Unless Rupert silently Doc is insane, otherwise he would never have sold Sky TV. Don’t forget that even if you get on the board of directors, you are only one of the directors of News Corporation, and you can’t control too much right to speak. After all, you are not the chairman of the holding company. , you don’t even have the chance to go your own way, how can you fulfill your current promise?”

Wendy didn't take it seriously, and said confidently, "I dare say that I can do it naturally, it depends on whether you dare to take a gamble."

Yang Cheng doesn't like this at all, trying to fool him? no way!

Rupert Murdoch has tried to acquire Sky TV several times. The latest one was just a few years ago. If the News of the World hadn’t revealed the wiretapping incident, which led to the boycott of the entire UK, Sky TV would have been in his pocket long ago. thing.

What's more, News Corporation holds 39% of the shares of Sky TV, which is far more than other shareholders. If he can't spend so much money, if it is financing, his shares in New Era Media will be suppressed to a minimum. At that time, let alone the acquisition of Sky TV, he will not be able to keep his position.

"Ms. Wendy, if I have nothing else to do, I'll leave first. The company still has a meeting." Yang Cheng is really not interested in communicating with this crazy woman anymore.

Even though Wendy tried her best to stay behind, Yang Cheng only exchanged contact information with Liu Wenwen, took the painting and left.

However, Yang Cheng didn't care as much as he showed on the surface. His heart seemed to grow grass. The words Sky TV kept appearing in his mind, and his throat was dry. After all, it was the largest pay TV station in Europe. 400 channels, holding the copyright of the Premier League live broadcast, maintaining a daily growth rate of 10,000 new users, and its influence in Europe is second only to the existence of the two giants, N and BBC.

Not only that, if Sky TV is really won, his status in the UK will rise sharply, and countless politicians want to be his guests.

In fact, if Yang Cheng announces the official launch of the acquisition plan of Sky TV, it will not appear abrupt. After all, he owns Liverpool, a traditional giant in the Premier League. For this reason, he will go a step further and seek investment and expansion in the UK. From the perspective of outsiders Shouldn't be a surprise.

Driving a Ferrari, with one hand on the steering wheel, instinctively moving slowly with the traffic, but his brain was running fast. He suddenly realized that now might be the only and best time to acquire Sky TV.

Probably because News Corporation tapped the phone voice messages of British celebrities, politicians, dead soldiers and even missing and murdered girls, it not only ruined a 168-year-old weekly newspaper, the News of the World, but also aroused opposition to the acquisition in the UK The strong voice of Sky TV, this bad influence will hardly dissipate within 5 years.

If a white knight joins Sky TV at this time, I think the British people and the government will be happy to see it. After all, they will be happy if it can make Murdoch and News Corporation deflate.

However, what Yang Cheng is most concerned about now is not whether the forced acquisition of Sky TV will turn Murdoch against Murdoch, but that he can't afford so much money at hand, unless he borrows money! With the listing of New Era Media as a guarantee, it is not difficult to borrow 10 billion US dollars. After entering the financial market, it will soon raise a large amount of funds to pay off the debt.

It's just that such an operation is extremely risky. With the foundation of the new era media not stable, attracting the hostility of a lion at the door of his house will make the subsequent development difficult. This is what Yang Cheng does not want to see.

So, is there any way to have the best of both worlds? It can successfully acquire Sky TV without attracting the hostility of News Corporation.

Yang Cheng felt that he should have a good talk with Murdoch at night. This old guy also knows that he has long been notorious in the British Isles. It's not a good thing, at least in Yang Cheng's view, the deal is a good one.

As for Wendy? From the beginning to the end, Yang Cheng didn't put her in his eyes. Even if he was notorious for crossing rivers and demolishing bridges and killing donkeys, he couldn't resist the delicious temptation of Sky TV. Sigh~ You need to think twice about this matter, and only by setting a long line can you catch the big ones. fish! ...
