Chapter 411: Old Mo Digs a Hole

Two hours later, at 9:00 a.m. local time in London, it was raining heavily, and the headquarters of Sky TV in Isleworth looked quite bleak. The headquarters building that witnessed the rise of Sky Broadcasting Corporation will soon be a thing of the past. The roof is about to be capped and the interior decoration stage is entering.

Of course, Yang Cheng is not interested in where the meeting is held. What interests him is the current situation of the Murdoch family. Ever since Lao Mo broke up with Wendy, his two sons and one daughter have fallen into an endless loop of infighting. middle.

James Murdoch, the second son who was forced to resign due to the outbreak of wiretapping three years ago, is also the favorite son of Lao Mo. James Murdoch has been at home for a long time. It is said that he has the intention to come out again. In the hands of James, everyone knows what it means, because last year, News Corporation made a world-renowned split, splitting 21st Century Fox and News Corporation into two groups that do not interfere with each other.

After the spin-off, 21st Century Fox, which is in charge of American TV, film and other media businesses, has an annual revenue more than 10 times that of News Corp. It is almost the core and most important industry of the Murdoch family. This is handed over to the second son. Reason, its intention is self-evident.

But in this way, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction with his eldest son, that is, the prince Lacolum Murdoch, because since he became the chief operating officer of Fox, he has been working hard for the company without any negligence or complaints. , made great contributions to Fox's success, but unexpectedly, at the last moment, he was taken over by his younger brother, it was unbearable.

Similarly, James Murdoch's younger sister Elizabeth is not easy to get along with. As early as 2 years ago, she sold the property in her hand to News Corporation, and thus entered the whirlpool of family infighting, although she knew how hard she worked. Neither can shake the position of the two sons in Lao Mo's heart, but she will never give up the interests she should fight for, and her goal is the news corporation after the spin-off.

Yang Cheng's blood boiled while watching such a lively Gongdou drama, which was much more interesting than watching Zhen Huan. After all, it happened in front of his eyes, and he also played a small role in this big drama. Wendy, who is in the head, is waiting anxiously for Yang Cheng to help her!

Standing at the door for a while, looking up at the unabated rain, Yang Cheng exhaled heavily, as if cheering herself up, wearing a white lady's suit, Susu with a pretty face and a few A bodyguard walked into the door aggressively, and after connecting with the front desk, he went straight to the large conference room under the leadership of the staff.

Before entering the slightly old meeting room, Yang Cheng was frightened by a burst of voices. Is this the board of directors or the vegetable market?

Without giving him any time to hesitate, the staff pushed them away for him, so that the group of successful people in suits and ties would not pay attention to the door, and the entrance of Yang Cheng and Susu did not attract the attention of others.

It wasn't until he found a random seat and sat there for a while that Lao Mo, who was in the first place, realized that there were two more people on the scene. He pushed his glasses and called out in surprise, "Jason? When did you come? Why didn't you notify me? "

The major shareholders have spoken, and the small shareholders are not going to back down quickly?

The voice gradually died down, and more than 20 pairs of eyes in the audience looked over at the same time, with puzzled expressions on their faces. Yang Cheng's face is still easy to recognize, and the recent commotion is not small, even if it is not Knowing the name, he felt familiar, no one jumped out and said they didn't know him, but the question was why did Yang Cheng appear on the board of Sky Broadcasting Company?

The fact that Yang Cheng became the second largest shareholder and joined the board of directors has not been announced to the public. Except for Lao Mo, everyone is kept in the dark.

"It's been a while since I've been here. I saw everyone was discussing enthusiastically, so I didn't feel embarrassed to interrupt." Everyone could hear Yang Cheng's insinuation, but no one refuted it. It was a bit embarrassing just now.

Lao Mo smiled, stood up and pointed to Yang Cheng and introduced, "You came just in time, before the board meeting, I would like to announce a good news to everyone,

I won’t talk nonsense about who this is. Today, he is the second largest shareholder of Sky Broadcasting Corporation with a shareholding of 13%, and he is also a member of our new board of directors to join our team. It is an important symbol of progressing farther and farther, ladies and gentlemen, let us welcome Jason's arrival with the warmest applause. "

It's a pity that Yang Cheng didn't join the board of directors after Keng Zheng Jiaxuan got 6.9% of the shares. Otherwise, more than 20% of the shares would bring greater deterrence.

Yang Cheng also stood up, smiled politely in several directions, and nodded slightly, "Thank you Rupert for your welcome, and I will work with everyone to make the greatest effort for the future of Sky Broadcasting Corporation."

When all the participants didn't react, Lao Mo and Yang Cheng completed the entry declaration tacitly, as if they didn't mean to ask other people at all.

In fact, whether Yang Cheng can enter the board of directors does not require other people's consent. The combined shares of him and Lao Mo are enough to control everything on the board of directors.

"So, what's today's topic?" After taking her seat again, Yang Cheng automatically assumed the role and asked casually.

"We were just discussing the copyright of the Premier League live broadcast for the next three years. By the way, Jason, you are the owner of Liverpool. You should have attended the Premier League joint meeting a few days ago. I wonder if there is any information you can share with us."

Yang Cheng's heart trembled, he thought that Lao Mo would change his mind and sincerely welcome him, but he didn't expect that he was hiding a knife in his smile, digging a hole here and waiting for him.

Lao Mo's question is quite embarrassing. It is the first time for Yang Cheng to participate in the board of directors of Sky Broadcasting Corporation. If he doesn't come up with some real materials, he will be easily excluded by the original directors. Of course, it doesn't matter if Yang Cheng doesn't care, but Yang Cheng Orange is still counting on buying the shares in the hands of these people, so naturally he can't make the relationship deadlocked.

But if there is any serious news, it will inevitably spread to the Premier League, which is even more unfavorable to him. After all, he is still planning to win all the copyrights of the Premier League in North America.

Not only that, what is more serious than his isolation on the Sky side is that it will arouse the resentment of other clubs in the Premier League. Maybe they will attack him in groups. Even Abramovich and Mansour, who have a good relationship with him, cannot help him. It's good not to add insult to injury, after all, once Yang Cheng said something, it would be leaking the news, which affected the interests of other clubs, and Yang Cheng didn't have the confidence to fight back if it was unreasonable.

The scene was silent, and everyone was waiting for Yang Cheng's answer. Lao Mo had a faint smile on his face. In Yang Cheng's eyes, no matter how ironic he looked, this old guy was gloating, right?

"Bastard, when I buy Sky TV, I'll see if you're still in the mood to laugh." Yang Cheng stared at Lao Mo with cold eyes, and swore in his heart.

But it's useless to scold him now. Only by solving the current problem can he have a chance to take revenge on Lao Mo.
