Chapter 1634: The New Media Tycoon

Dongxing Entertainment.

Today's National Day, there are not many people staying in the company.

But seeing Li Dong arrived, the greetings continued one after another.

When Li Dong arrived, Hu Xiaorui had just returned.

When Li Dong entered the office, besides Hu Xiaorui, there was also the vice president whom he saw last time. ,

Li Dong nodded in greeting, and before he sat down, Hu Xiaorui hurriedly said: "I have talked with Shao's several times in Xiangjiang, but I haven't seen Mr. Shao a few times, mainly talking with Ms. Fang.

In fact, I have heard before that this old lady is swift and resolute in her actions and has a lot of calculations.

This time it was seen.

Guess what the first person who met me said to the other party? "

Li Dong smiled and asked, "What did you say?"

"Greetings to my grandfather, and said that Mr. Shao came to the mainland and had a good talk with my grandfather.

In a word, don't talk about my grandfather.

In addition, Mr. Shao has a deep foundation in the mainland, and your reputation, Li Dong, will not work. "

Hu Xiaorui shook his head and said, "I'm really not prepared to use these things to oppress the other party. When talking about business, of course it's about profit.

It's not that I don't give money, do I need to be on guard from the beginning? "

Li Dong didn't care too much and said, "The more you care, the more you worry. This is a good thing. If the other party really doesn't care, they won't mention it."

Hu Xiaorui nodded, then laughed again: "This trip to Xiangjiang can be described as frequent dramas.

Before you mentioned the acquisition of tvb, in fact, I was thinking that tvb is a thing of the past, and not many people really care about it.

But only after going there this time did I realize that tvb still has confidence.

As soon as the news that Shaw Brothers intends to sell TVB came out, people from all over the world got involved.

Even Murdoch came to Xiangjiang this time.

I didn't know about this before, but when I knew he was coming, I did some research, and only then did I know that this media tycoon has been watching TVB for a long time.

As early as 1987, Murdoch wanted to buy TVB, but was rejected by Uncle Liu.

In 2006, the other party wanted to acquire it again.

As a result, Uncle Six offered 10 billion Hong Kong dollars, scaring him away.

Now that Uncle Six is ​​getting older, Murdoch probably thinks he can take advantage of it, so here he is again.

In addition, Li Zhekai, who is known as Little Superman, also has this idea and has been instigating other consortiums to participate.

Others include Blackstone Fund, including Henderson Land, which are all eyeing.

Forget about those foreign or Hong Kong locals, guess who I found involved? "

Li Dong found a place to sit down, and said casually, "Who?"

"Ma Yun and Guo Guangchang!"

"who?"

Li Dong was surprised, and Hu Xiaorui said seriously: "It's them!

Ali and Fosun joined forces and intend to participate.

But as far as I know, it should be instigated by the vice chairman of Henderson Land and the eldest son of the fourth uncle.

Li Jiajie, the vice chairman of Henderson Land, has been expanding his business in the mainland these years, and he is very familiar with Guo Guangchang of Fosun and Ma Yun of Alibaba.

This time, a group of wealthy mainlanders were recruited, and the public participated in it.

Guo Guangchang didn't talk about him, did Ma Yun deliberately get involved because he knew Dongxing was involved? "

Li Dong curled his lips and said: "Don't talk to him, does he have money?

Yahoo's shares have no money to repurchase, and the money raised by Baobao is not enough for him to spend on logistics, so he has gained momentum.

There is something wrong with Henderson, and the old horse is pulled into the arena.

Not to mention no money, but also a bad reputation.

At least in Xiangjiang, if Ma Yun wants to become the host of TVB, he will be sprayed to death by Xiangjiang stockholders.

It has just been delisted, the limelight has not yet passed, and the scolding is still there. At this time, I dare to interfere. I am not wrong. It should be rumored in the industry, and the outside world does not know. "

Hu Xiaorui nodded with a smile and said: "That's true, but the main reason is that some people say that Uncle Liu intends to sell the shares to domestic investors.

Therefore, these people have recruited some rich people from the mainland to participate, hoping to win the approval of the sixth uncle. "

After Hu Xiaorui finished speaking, the vice president of Dongxing, who was left on the sidelines, hurriedly said: "Uncle Liu wants to sell to domestic investors.

This is not a rumor, otherwise, this time we would not..."

Hu Xiaorui glanced at him, but the other party stopped talking immediately.

Li Dong laughed a little and said: "There is something to hide, whether the negotiation will be successful or not, I probably guessed it.

It is nonsense to say that it is sold to domestic capital.

However, it is true that Uncle Liu wants to transfer TVB safely and without hidden dangers. The money is a little, and the other is that no hidden dangers can be left.

Some people, or groups, have some political background, especially those from abroad. Even if Uncle Liu wanted to sell them, he would not sell them.

Others, in fact, mainly look at money.

Tell me, how much did it cost? "

"Not counting the land in Clear Water Bay, Shaw's asking price is 8 billion Hong Kong dollars."

Hu Xiaorui stopped hiding at this time, and said, "Shaw Brothers now owns 26% of TVB's shares. In addition, Shaw Brothers Fund and Ms. Fang also hold 6% of the shares.

This time, what the other party sold was the 26% stake held by Shaw Brothers.

Now, the market value of tvb is less than 20 billion Hong Kong dollars.

26% of the shares are actually about 5 billion Hong Kong dollars. The asking price of 8 billion Hong Kong dollars is too high, and the premium has reached 60%.

So these days, they are actually negotiating for this matter.

Ms. Fang actually talked about Country Garden, and she was not afraid of making people laugh. "

The allusion that Hu Xiaorui mentioned happened in 2008.

When there was no financial crisis in 2008, Country Garden's market value exceeded 100 billion Hong Kong dollars, and its reputation was prominent for a while.

At this time, Country Garden didn't want to be limited to the real estate industry any longer, and took a fancy to TVB, which dominates Xiangjiang TVB.

At that time, Country Garden announced to the outside world that it would offer 12.5 billion Hong Kong dollars to acquire the shares of Shaw Brothers. As for whether the Qingshuiwan land was included, it did not disclose in detail.

TVB with a market value of less than 20 billion Hong Kong dollars, 26% of the equity offer 12.5 billion Hong Kong dollars, in Li Dong's view, it is impossible, it should be the land of Clear Water Bay.

Shaw Brothers has a large piece of land in Clear Water Bay, which was leased by TVB and used as a film and television base.

Every inch of land in Xiangjiang is expensive, and this piece of land is expensive, with a market value of more than 2 billion Hong Kong dollars.

Even so, Country Garden's quotation has exceeded 10 billion Hong Kong dollars.

In 2006, Uncle Six used 10 billion Hong Kong dollars to scare Murdoch away.

Whether Country Garden offered this price, no matter it was true or not, it showed that Country Garden was rich and powerful.

As a result, before the high-profile days, the financial crisis hit, and Country Garden’s stock price plummeted. It fell from the peak of 150 billion Hong Kong dollars to below 100 billion Hong Kong dollars in an instant, and then fell below 80 billion...60 billion...

Now it's all right, the previous high-profile has become a joke.

The wealth of the Yang family has shrunk by more than half, and the previous acquisitions have disappeared in an instant.

This matter was reported by many media at that time.

At this time, Hu Xiaorui, of course, found it ridiculous that the current leader of Shaw Brothers was talking about this.

On the one hand, it is ridiculous that the Shaw Brothers have the nerve to mention this, on the other hand, it is also a joke to the Yang family of Country Garden.

She has no enmity with the Yang family, but at the Yuanfang annual meeting in 2008, Li Dong declared that he would become the richest man in China. At that time, the richest man in China was Yang Huiyan.

When the media interviewed Yang Huiyan, Yang Huiyan had a look of waiting and watching.

At that time, Hu Xiaorui also saw the interview video, and immediately became dissatisfied with the other party.

At this time, the market value of Country Garden was surpassed by Longhua, and fell to around 50 billion Hong Kong dollars, and Hu Xiaorui was also happy to see the joke.

Shaw's talking about this, she naturally found it extremely ridiculous.

Li Dong is not interested in mentioning these things. These are all things in the past. He has not dealt with Country Garden a few times, and there is no need to laugh at people.

Seeing Hu Xiaorui talking for a long time, Li Dong said helplessly: "Let's go straight to the point, whether the negotiation is over, the negotiation is over, how much is the asking price?"

Hu Xiaorui said unwillingly: "Didn't I tell you the story?"

"Forget it, it's not the first time I've been acquired, there are various situations, there's nothing to talk about.

Tell me, how much is it? "

"Vulgar!"

Hu Xiaorui curled her lips, the process is fun, knowing the result all at once, how boring.

But when Li Dong asked, she had no choice but to say: "Shaw Brothers offered 8 billion Hong Kong dollars. In addition, to buy tvb, it is impossible to not want the film and television base in Clear Water Bay. Otherwise, where would tvb go to shoot TV series.

Therefore, Shaw Brothers did not deliberately set up obstacles in this regard, and also made another quotation.

3 billion Hong Kong dollars!

Added together, the quotation is 11 billion Hong Kong dollars.

This price scared many people. In the end, we, the consortium formed by Henderson Land, Ali and Fosun, and Murdoch's News Corporation, participated in the bidding.

I offered 8.8 billion Hong Kong dollars, but I didn't expect to win it! "

When Hu Xiaorui said this, he also laughed a little: "I've been in touch with you for a long time, and I'm almost mistaking money for money.

I thought Shaw Brothers quoted 11 billion, and I bid 8.8 billion Hong Kong dollars, the gap is not small.

The other two are also extremely strong, and it is possible for them to bid 10 billion Hong Kong dollars.

As a result, Henderson quoted 8 billion Hong Kong dollars, and News Corporation quoted 8.2 billion Hong Kong dollars.

Instead, we offer the highest price!

Then, Shao also readily agreed, and he had no objection, so he agreed. "

8.8 billion Hong Kong dollars, in fact, is still a lot of premium.

But Li Dong and Hu Xiaorui, the lowest price they prepared before was 8 billion RMB, which is almost 8.8 billion Hong Kong dollars.

What Hu Xiaorui thought at the time was to quote the lowest price first.

After that, other people are taller than her, but they can still talk about it.

Unexpectedly, she quoted the lowest price, which was 600 million Hong Kong dollars more than News Corporation. This is not a small amount.

Murdoch chose to give up in an instant.

On Henderson's side, they didn't know how to think about it, and they didn't continue to raise the price in the end.

Shaw Brothers simply sold it!

Hu Xiaorui had been talking in Xiangjiang for more than half a month, and then the talk came to an end, which Hu Xiaorui didn't expect.

Li Dong smiled and said: "Actually, it's not too low, the Shao family is just like a lion with a big mouth.

The profit of tvb has gradually decreased in recent years, and the growth rate in the past few years has been very low. Last year, the profit was only more than 1 billion Hong Kong dollars, which is not much different from previous years.

Do you think I offered 8 billion yuan just to talk casually?

This price is already a part of the premium, so it is not surprising that it can be won.

Henderson does not do this. In my opinion, News Corp. has always been soy sauce, and has never considered them.

Murdoch, an old fox, tried to play TVB several times, but he didn't even think about who owns Xiangjiang!

What if Shaw agreed?

Can radio and television pass?

Just to join in the fun, Shao also knew there was nothing to do, so he kept rejecting the other party.

It's okay to participate in the shares, and it's a dream to become the owner.

If Xiangjiang has two systems, it also belongs to China!

The media is the first gateway for publicity. Our Weibo, or online media, is severely restricted in various countries.

Europe and the Americas, which claim to be open, did not say that they would allow us to unify the media field.

In China, News Corporation should not think too much.

Henderson gave up, and Shaw knew that the price was at the top, so he agreed to it to avoid trouble.

8.8 billion Hong Kong dollars, for us, it is not a loss..."

Li Dong said with a smile: "Congratulations, the new media tycoon, Hu Daheng!"

Yes, Hu Xiaorui, formerly known as the Queen of Entertainment, is now a media tycoon!

Entertainment does not include media, but media includes entertainment.

As Hong Kong, or Asia, TVB is very well-known and has a rich history of radio and television.

Dongxing won tvb, although it only has 26% of the shares, but for listed companies, especially companies that have been listed for many years, so many shares are enough to control them.

Once the two parties formally sign the agreement, Dongxing can enter TVB.

Of course, in the early stage, it was approved by Radio and Television and Xiangjiang.

But in Li Dong's view, there is no trouble at all.

Dongxing's acquisition of the other party does not involve foreign capital, which is actually the best result.

Dongxing holds tvb, and from then on, Dongxing is no longer an entertainment company, but a media giant.

According to Xiangjiang, there is no problem in calling Hu Xiaorui Hu Daheng.

As soon as the words "Hu Daheng" came out, Hu Xiaorui suddenly drooped her face, and said depressedly: "What the hell are you calling me, don't call me that, besides, it hasn't been done yet.

For the time being, only a framework agreement has been reached, and the specific process is still very troublesome. The radio and television, the China Securities Regulatory Commission, and the Stock Exchange have not yet passed it.

In addition, we only won 26% of the shares, which is not too safe.

Shaw Fund and Ms. Fang still have about 6% of the shares in their hands, and I want to take it together.

Reaching 32% of the equity should be almost enough.

Although tvb's shareholding is very scattered, if someone makes a forced tender offer, it is still very dangerous to be less than 30%. "

Shaw holds a total of 32% of the shares, which is the reason why the other party has been in charge of TVB for many years.

If it's only 26%, it's still not safe.

Li Dong didn't care too much and said: "It's not a big problem, let's not talk about Shaw Brothers, if it doesn't work, just buy it back from the stock market, maybe it's cheaper.

What's more, after we won TVB, whoever fights with us is really stupid..."

Hu Xiaorui said a little depressed: "It's not your trouble, you are too domineering, everyone knows it.

Dongxing won tvb, and the outside world will think that if you speculate at the bottom at this time, you will definitely pay the bill in the end.

It’s all about making money anyway, don’t think it’s impossible…”

As soon as these words came out, Li Dong's eyes moved, it was really possible.

In the case of Guomei and Teng Xun, Li Dong finally adopted a strategy of not retreating one step at a time. No matter how high the stock price was, he would directly cover the bottom line.

If someone thinks they can make a fortune in this way, they may not be afraid to do it.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Dong suddenly snorted: "Let them try, TVB doesn't have to, whoever really wants to do this, let's just let it go!

By the way, he invested in ATV again. With the strength of Yuanfang and Dongxing, he invested a lot in ATV, and the stock price of tvb could fall below imagination.

If anyone thinks that tvb is necessary, then let them enter, and finally let them lose everything!

Also, even if tvb is attacked by someone, I won't sell the land in Qingshui Bay, and I will directly let them relocate their film and television base and let them play! "

Want to rebuild a film and television base, it is not a matter of one day.

Shaw Brothers controls the film and television base in Qingshuiwan, which is also the foundation for controlling tvb.

Once the contract expires, you will be asked to move directly. At that time, regardless of whether you have money to invest, even if you have money, it will take a long time to invest in building a new film and television base.

At this time, Yuanfang and Dongxing invested in ATV, taking advantage of the danger and investing a lot of money. I am afraid that TVB, which can really suppress it, will not be able to hold its head.

After listening to Li Dong's few words, Hu Xiaorui decided on the plan, and Hu Xiaorui immediately smiled and said, "Okay, then let's wait for someone to attack us!

It's fine if you don't want to die, but if anyone wants to die, let's screw him to death! "

The vice president who was ignored by the two people was a little tired. What you said was simple. While cheating people, you didn't lose money?

This is obviously impossible!

Of course, these two are rich and powerful masters, and the vice president didn't say anything.

With such a small loss, the two of them probably wouldn't care about it.

Now, the vice president is a little sympathetic. If anyone really thinks this is an opportunity, he will probably end up losing a lot of blood in the end.

After all, if you want to snipe Dongxing, there is no way to invest billions.

In the end, can half of the cost be recovered?

For any tycoon, except for those like Li Dong who don't take money as money, the tycoons in the mainland, including Xiangjiang, can vomit blood in pain if they lose more than 100 million yuan at one time.

A one-time loss of more than 1 billion will cause a chain reaction, and bankruptcy directly dragged down by debts is possible.

Thinking about this in his heart, the vice president actually hoped that things would go smoothly.

Dongxing entered TVB, just as Li Dong said, Dongxing became one of the media giants in one fell swoop.

At least in China, there is currently no media group that is more powerful than Dongxing plus TVB, except for the state-run ones.

...

Li Dong and Hu Xiaorui talked for a while, and finally finished talking, Li Dong briefly mentioned the matter of going to dinner.

As a result, Hu Xiaorui agreed very readily, even a little eager to try, which made Li Dong a little dumbfounded.

...

And when Li Dong and Hu Xiaorui went to Dongyuan together.

The news of Dongxing's boss's return also began to spread.

Some people in the industry claimed that Dongxing has reached an agreement with Shaw Brothers to acquire tvb soon.

As soon as the news came out, even during the National Day, it caused quite a stir.

Jiangbei, the overlord group has appeared again!

Hu Xiaorui has officially joined the ranks of media giants!

First Li Dong, then Xu Shengzhe, and now, Jiangbei Hu Xiaorui, a young girl, once the acquisition is completed, even if Dongxing has not yet been listed, she will still be in charge of a media group with a market value of 20 billion Hong Kong dollars.

For the media industry, a market value of 20 billion is definitely not low, or rather high!

As for Hu Xiaorui's personal wealth, there is no specific statistics yet.

But everyone believed that news would come out soon.

The Hu family, a previously unknown family, also surfaced following the acquisition of TVB.

Of course, everyone doesn't care about these at the moment.

What everyone cares about is Jiangbei!

In the past few years, Jiangbei has produced more and more characters, and it is not an exaggeration to say that all walks of life take all.

And the younger generation is rising faster than expected.

Is Jiangbei really a blessed land?

With this in mind, even some entrepreneurs began to wonder whether they should relocate.
