Section 1397: The Death of Herbert

Chapter 1397 The Death of Herbert

Robert has relatively great power within the organization, so he is the first person to know the news, but the others are not fools, they all have their own news channels, and everyone knows it now The news is that they are looking at Herbert now without the hesitation just now, but with anger, and some people even have hatred in their eyes. They can't tolerate such a huge man like Herbert in their eyes. In the middle, if this is the case, if Li Cong really takes action against them, it will be very easy to win.

"Mr. Li, did Mr. Herbert invite you here? We have a rule here that it is impossible to come in without an invitation." Robert directly interrupted Herbert's bragging. At this time, he no longer wanted to continue. Watching this guy continue to perform, the most important thing now is to understand why Li Cong came here. Is it really for a Europa Financial Trade Group? This is absolutely illogical, and Li Cong would not be so aggressive.

"Hehe, of course, I have never had many friends in Europe. As you all know, I am very friendly to friends. Mr. Herbert was a good friend with me in the past. I Mr. Herbert is mostly responsible for coming to Europe." Li Cong said with a smile, these words sounded like two versions to two people, and Herbert naturally felt that Li Cong was making him look good. But other people don't see it that way, especially people like Robert, which seems to show that the two of them are allies. If there was no confrontation between the two in the past, with Li Cong's support, Herbert would naturally You can take the position, but in this situation, Herbert himself felt that there was something wrong. Thinking about what Li Cong did after he arrived, he seemed to understand a little bit. Could it be that he was calculated by this guy? up? But I can't, everything seems to be developing in my favor.

Li Cong's words made everyone start to whisper. It seems that today is not only a question of punishing Herbert, but whether he can let him go out is still a very elusive question. Everyone looked into the room one after another. The few remaining guards, fortunately, these people are not Herbert's people, if there is any problem, they can deal with it, but Li Cong is in the room, and the number one next to him is clear to everyone, this guy If it was there, it would not be so easy to move Herbert, but just when everyone was thinking about how to solve it, Li Cong stood up again.

"Everyone, it seems that I came at the wrong time, so I will go out first. I can give you time if you want to solve your personal affairs, but I hope you can understand that I am also one of the directors. Today I am here to start the meeting." The meeting of the board of directors is not here to taste the coffee in your lounge." Li Cong's words relieved Robert and others, and Herbert's face was very bad. What's going on, I can help You came to be a lobbyist, even you are out now, what am I still doing here?

"Wait, Mr. Li, do you think this is where you can come and go whenever you want? If you don't make things clear today, no one can leave here. We don't care if you come to Europe to play, but from you After it came, our whole Europe was shaken,

Did he invite you to help him after Herbert stepped down? "At this time a young child said, Li Cong and most of the people frowned. Now that things are so clear, this guy actually threatened Li Cong. When the whole of Europe was the most powerful, the former The patriarch of the Rothschild family might not dare to talk to Li Cong like that. Who knew that this kid was so bold.

Li Cong looked up at this kid. No wonder this kid is so arrogant. He turned out to be a rich second generation. This guy is the new boss of News Corp. Mo Keduo? Hilardiko, his father died in a plane crash just now, and now the entire News Corporation belongs to him. No wonder he has the courage to challenge himself. Young people don't know that there are high places.

News Corporation is the name of a huge media empire. News Corporation is involved in all media fields. Its CEO, Rupert Murdoch, spent more than 50 years turning an ordinary local newspaper company into the largest and most international comprehensive media company in the world today. one. On July 7, 2011, News Corporation announced that its British popular tabloid "News of the World" would cease publication due to a series of wiretapping scandals. On the 15th, Rebecca, CEO of News International, which governs News Corporation's British newspapers, Brooks resigned, taking responsibility for the illegal wiretapping.

Mo Keduo is the main shareholder and CEO of the world's largest news corporation? Chiradiko, whose family controls 60% of the company. On November 12, 2004, after obtaining the consent of most shareholders, the company's headquarters was moved from Adelaide, Australia to Delaware, USA, and reorganized into the current News Corporation. After the end of the war in 2036, this most famous group moved from the United States to Paris and became one of the largest groups in Europe.

News Corporation is a publicly listed company, listed on the New York Stock Exchange, the London Stock Exchange lse:ra, and is still listed on the Australian Stock Exchange.

News Corporation's various media continuously transmit exciting news and entertainment programs to audiences in more than 70 countries and regions around the world 24 hours a day; More than 40 million copies, ranking first in the world in terms of sales and circulation. News Corporation also runs 9 entertainment and news websites, and has signed a cooperation agreement with China to link these websites under News Corporation with each other in order to obtain more visitors.

Currently, News Corporation has covered all media fields. In the UK, 40% of newspapers are controlled by him. The six newspapers with the largest circulation, including "The Times", "Daily Telegraph", "Mirror" and "Guardian", have a total daily circulation of 25 million copies ; In Australia, News Corporation also controls 2/3 of the newspapers. In the United States, it owns 20th Century Fox Film Company, Fox Network and 35 TV stations, accounting for 40% of the total number of TV stations in the United States; in Latin America, Murdoch cooperates with 3 TV stations to broadcast 150 programs through satellite; In India, there is eetv; in China, 35 million households can watch Murdoch's TV programs through satellite. Now, News Corporation can provide entertainment and information programs to 53 countries and regions in Asia through more than 40 channels in 7 languages.

For such a huge group, it must have its own core industry. According to the information from the Agricultural Collective Survey Department, their core enterprises are several major newspapers, but the most profitable industry is the Fox Group.

The Australian newspaper Herald Sun (Victoria), mx Daily Telegraph (New South Wales), Express Post (Queensland) and Gold Coast News (Gold Coast, Queensland) are among the few major newspapers that can be called in the world. The Advertiser (South Australia) The Mercury (Tasmania) The Sunday Times (Western Australia) The Northern Territory News The Australian (National Australia) The British newspaper News Group Newspapers Limited (mainly responsible for publishing small newspapers) The Sun (thesun) News of the World (nees; the Times or London Times) (the current format is changed to a small opening) The Times Educational Supplement The Times Literary Supplement American newspapers and magazines New York Post (st) Wall Street Journal

"Hehe, it turned out to be Mr. Mo Keduo. I thought who would have such a great ability to challenge me. Do you know that your words may bring disaster to you and your family?" Li Cong said with a smile , He didn't pay attention to the person in front of him at all. Although the guy in front of him was a tough nut to crack, Li Cong had already seen it in just a few minutes. The tycoon didn't integrate into this circle at all. It's no wonder that Australia and the Americas were places where Europeans exiled prisoners. Just imagine how a person who came out of that place can attract their attention now.

"Mr. Li, is this your threat to me?" Sure enough, a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. They didn't dare to talk to Li Cong like that, and they couldn't help applauding this guy's courage, but on the other hand, they also felt that this guy was just like an idiot, and he was looking for death.

"Hehe, I never threaten people, because what I say is the truth of how the world works. Now I announce that I will bring down your News Corporation. How long do you think it will take me?" Contrary to other people's expectations, no one would think that they were still targeting Herbert just now, but now it is on these two people.

"Mr. Li, I'm really sorry. Mr. Mo Keduo is also quick-talking. Let's not deviate from our goal. Now we need to have a good discussion. I hope Mr. Li can give us ten minutes, can you? Ten In a few minutes, we will give Mr. Li a satisfactory answer." Herbert, who had already breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Robert say such a thing, looked at the other people and now he understood that Li Cong took advantage of it. He, these people are going to use him now.

Li Cong was about to go out after speaking. There were idiots like Mo Keduo in front of him as pacesetters. No one dared to stand up and stop Li Cong at the moment. When Li Cong left the door, he gave Mo Ke a meaningful look Too many, this guy felt that he was starting to sweat for no reason, how could Li Cong put so much pressure on himself.

"Wait?? Mr. Li, can't you?" Herbert also knew that if Li Cong went out like that, he would definitely not end well. Cong just gave him a smile and went out. What happened inside later has nothing to do with Li Cong. Li Cong now has a new target, which is News Corporation.

In these ten minutes, I can just look at the information of News Corporation. It is not so simple when I go in again. In the operation of News Corporation, asset reorganization is a common method. Sometimes, this kind of merger and integration of industries is not only for the purpose of seeking excess profits, but also for the consideration of internal balance.

In recent years, News Corporation, a subsidiary of MOKEDO, has aggressively made acquisitions and mergers. In July 1993, Murdoch purchased startv in Asia, and let Star TV's programs gradually cover India, Japan and other Asian countries and regions. In 1998, Murdoch established the British digital TV platform, and launched more than 200 satellite channels. In 1999, he launched an interactive sports channel, which changed the traditional way of watching TV and made the audience the leader. In December 1999, Mo Keduo's father entered the German TV market through his satellite TV group British Sky Broadcasting Company; in January 2000, Mo Keduo and Nokia jointly discussed the use of the Internet to carry out information activities. On February 28, News Corporation acquired a 4% stake in Singtel for US$1 billion. In 2001, Mokerduo reorganized News Corporation's satellite platforms and related assets in Western Europe, Asia and Latin America, and integrated them into Sky Global Network Group ((see novels to net m)rks). From then on, he began to look around the whole world from the sky.

In Mo Kedo's view, the United States has a pivotal position in the future of News Corporation. In order to enter the American market well, Mo Keduo immigrated from Australia to the United States in 1970, but the problem was not completely resolved. He implemented the "Sky Empire" plan, and the United States became the biggest obstacle for him to build a global satellite network. According to the U.S. Constitution, foreigners are not allowed to own American TV stations. In 1985, Mo Keduo became an American citizen.

In 1985, Mokerduo acquired a 50% stake in 20th Century. In the following nearly 20 years, Mokerdo has owned X News Channel, X Sports Channel, National Geographic Channel and Speed ​​Channel in the US market.

Mo Keduo realized that if he wanted to gain a firm foothold in the American media market, he had to acquire a satellite TV company in the United States. In 2002, Mokerduo focused on the acquisition of ttv, a satellite TV company owned by Hughes Electronics of the United States. ttv is the largest satellite TV company in the United States, with 12 million users in the national satellite TV market. But in order to win it, most scholars have exhausted their minds, with ups and downs. On April 9, 2003, Mo Ke's dream came true. News Corporation announced that it had reached an agreement with Hughes Electronics to acquire 19.9% ​​of the shares of Hughes Electronics, the parent company of ttv, held by General Motors at a price of US$14 per share. On the same day, Moker bought 14.4% of the shares of Hughes Company from shareholders at the price of 100 yuan per share at the closing price of the day, and then transferred 34% of the shares of Hughes Company to American X Television Company, which is controlled by News Corporation.

The acquisition of News Corporation cost as much as 6.8 billion US dollars, but Mokerduo is still very happy, because this acquisition marks the transformation of Mokerduo from an Australian newspaperman to the world's most powerful media tycoon. In Mo Keduo's view, ttv is like the shining jewel in his crown, giving him unprecedented energy and power, and he has finally realized his dream of covering the whole world with a satellite TV network.

In June 2004, News Corporation was reorganized on a large scale, and the company's registration place was also transferred from Australia to the United States, and it sought to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange. In December of that year, News Corporation officially became a registered company in the United States.

Outside of the United States, the most outstanding subsidiary of News Corporation is the British Sky Broadcasting Corporation (bskyb). The company currently broadcasts about 420 digital TV and radio channels, including more than 120 premium channels, about 200 free-to-air TV and radio channels, and 90 pay-per-view channels. These channels include both bskyb's self-operated channels and third-party channels broadcast on the "Sky" platform. As of the middle of 2004, the British Sky Broadcasting Corporation has 7.4 million direct broadcast satellite users, and is currently the only pay TV platform operator in the world that has begun to make profits - with a total operating income of 3.2 billion pounds and a pre-tax profit of 480 million in 2003/2004 GBP.

In Asia, Star Media Group, a wholly-owned subsidiary headquartered in Hong Kong, is the navigator of its business expansion. After years of continuous additional investment, in fiscal year 2003, Star Media Group achieved full-year operating profit for the first time.

Capital management is an important means for the rapid growth of media companies. The media industry is one of the most profitable industries in the world, but it is also the most competitive market, and the phenomenon of property rights transfer emerges endlessly.

In the United States, the media industry can create more than 535 billion US dollars of wealth every year, accounting for more than 5% of the gross national product. Becoming News Corporation, an American company, will undoubtedly add an astonishing sum to this figure.

Since 2002, News Corporation's total revenue and operating income have achieved double-digit growth for three consecutive years.

In the past ten years, Murdoch has ceded almost all of his debt-operated companies to banks, saving a lot of expenses for a more stable global layout. Li Cong admired the two men very much for this point, no wonder they have such huge assets.

In Mokerduo's strategy, satellite TV is the top priority. He believes that News Corporation is the creator and operator of popular news and entertainment products. To succeed, it can only rely on TV, and the best way to attract people to the TV is satellite. The future of News Corporation is betting on satellite TV. online.

In 1983, News Corporation began to get involved in the satellite field and founded the Sky Channel company in the UK. Due to lack of experience, Sky Channel died soon. This time, News Corporation lost 20 million US dollars. Mo Keduo was not discouraged. In 1989, News Corporation founded Sky TV in the UK. In 1990, the TV station merged with British Satellite Broadcasting Corporation to form British Sky Broadcasting Corporation (bskyb), which is controlled by News Corporation.

In 1991, News Corporation attacked for the second time. Affected by the Gulf War and the global economic recession, its satellite TV network burned 2 million US dollars a week. In the end, the company's debt reached 8 billion US dollars, and News Corporation was on the verge of bankruptcy. In this case, Mocdo had to sell its magazines and printing business, but Mocdo did not slow down the pace of establishing a satellite TV network around the world.

News Corporation's substantive leap forward began when it bought 19.9% ​​of Hughes Electronics' shares from General Motors (RS), and then obtained an absolute controlling stake in the live TV company (TV). With 12.2 million users, an annual output value of 30 billion U.S. dollars and a TV network covering every corner of the earth, Moac has completed the strategic layout of establishing its own global satellite TV network.

News Corporation is one of the world's largest media groups, with extensive investments in satellite TV, cable TV and interactive TV. At the same time, News Corporation is also the world's leading pay TV platform operator, which owns the British Sky Broadcasting Corporation (bskyb), the American Direct Television Group (ttv) and the Australian Fox Telco (xtel).

Among them, the British Sky Broadcasting Company is recognized as the most successful digital pay TV operator in the world. By June 2004, its direct broadcast satellite users had reached 7.4 million; while the American direct broadcast TV group had more than 12.2 million users.

In Australia, Fox Telstra has 800,000 satellite and cable subscribers. In Asia, Star Media occupies a leading position in the satellite TV market. From 5 channels when it was founded in 1991, it has developed to broadcast in 7 languages ​​and more than 40 channels, covering 300 million people in 53 countries and regions. Many viewers, up to 25,000 hours of original programs per year.

In 1998, 18% of Fox's shares were successfully listed in the United States, completing the first step of Mokerduo's goal. At the end of 2004, News Corporation was successfully listed on the New York Stock Exchange. In this case, it is no longer necessary to retain two listed companies. If they can successfully recover all of Fox's shares, it means that Mo Ke has realized the strategy of "beautiful curve" and still maintains the integrity of News Corporation.

Recently, News Corporation has made a series of strategic transactions.

In July 2005, News Corporation announced that it had signed an agreement to acquire x media company with 580 million US dollars in cash, and developed the Internet news blog and social networking market. Through this acquisition, the company controlled by Mokerduo acquired the excellent "fashion mén portal" website.

According to the agreement, company x has acquired 47% of the equity of the website that it does not own. The website and more than 30 other sites owned by company x have been merged into News Corporation's āo interactive media department.

After the agreement is completed, the number of News Corporation's monthly subscription Internet users in the United States will nearly double to more than 45 million. As a company x website that mainly provides entertainment, mood, games and social network services, as well as pictures, music and video appreciation, its total number of users has reached 27 million.

Mo Keduo said that the acquisition of X company is very important to News Corporation, because it will not only double the number of users of the group immediately, but also provide a good foundation for the group to expand its network business. The brand of X company is the most popular Welcome to some of the sites that are easily accessible to users who enjoy x news, sports and entertainment services; merging x company's brand with our existing online brand is a great opportunity to provide today's Internet users with more wide range of services.

In September 2025, News Corporation, which is controlled by Mokeduo, will acquire another website of an online video game company, including and. It also owns two entertainment websites, including one popular in movies.

News Corporation has made several acquisitions in recent months, and Mo Keduo said that the company's priority now is to expand the network market.

"Hehe, it really is a good group. How about the news media unit of our group?" Li Cong spent a few minutes looking at the information of News Group, feeling that such a huge news group should be his own , Putting it in the hands of Mo Keduo is really a waste of talent.

"Boss, I have to be honest. Compared with these, our news media is not on the same level. Our news media is currently a little bit influential in Asia. Look at these super large and influential newspapers around the world. It has nothing to do with us." No. 1 said honestly, what News Corporation needs is a background, not something you can have if you have money, such as reporters, new reporters are so different from old reporters But the gap is huge. Old reporters may get news about a small matter, while new reporters can only run around.

"Hehe, it turns out that's the case. You go and arrange it so that our people start paying attention to News Corporation. Later, I will personally direct the acquisition station. How much assets does News Corporation have?" Li Cong estimated that this time it would take A lot of money was spent.

"News Corporation's various industries currently need at least 390 billion euros. It is an absolutely powerful group, but their large group also has a big disadvantage, that is, they are not a whole, just like the current Internet and newspapers. They are opposite, and we can start from the inside, which is very beneficial to our acquisition." No. 1 said that the competition between new media and traditional media within News Corporation is not a day or two.

The proliferation of smartphones and tablets has made the web the most popular way to get news, according to a report.

Viewers of cable news fell 14 percent last year from the year before. In addition, for the first time since the project began tracking, the three major networks, CNN, Fox News and MSNBC, saw their viewership decline for the first time.

Just when Li Cong was thinking about this problem, the big door opened, and Herbert was no longer inside, exactly as Li Cong expected. According to the satellite of the investigation department, there was a dead body just now He was carried out, and now there is no way to confirm whether that guy is Herbert, but there is a good chance that it will be fine.

"Mr. Li, Mr. Herbert has already left early due to health reasons. He signed a transfer agreement with our group when he left just now. Now the shares of the Europa Financial Consortium belong to our News Corporation. I believe Mr. Li does not agree with this." You will be surprised." Mo Ke said with a smile, he was very scared just now, but he didn't expect Li Cong to be defeated by himself at this moment, those people were afraid of Li Cong just now and dared not take this hot medicine, but he Don't be afraid, anyway, I have already met Li Cong. What's wrong with accepting his shares of 1 billion euros? This is a very simple matter. Of course, the most important point is to make Li Cong look ugly.

"Very good, not bad, anyway, I gave those things to Mr. Herbert, you just keep them, it seems that I don't have any need to stay here anymore, this is your own meeting, then I have to go first." Li Cong said with a smile, everyone did not understand why Li Cong was able to laugh at this time, in fact, Li Cong's subordinates had reported and verified that the person just now was Herbert, and now Li Cong took Herbert The news that Te was killed by these people spread to Herbert's family. Herbert's family is not a soft persimmon. At this moment, their family's special forces have already started arguing to come here. If you don't If you leave, you will probably suffer disaster. I feel sorry for the people in this room. I don’t know how many can escape after a while. Of course, Mo Keduo will definitely not be able to escape. Li never will give him chance.

Everyone didn't think about why Li Cong would talk so easily. Has the world's richest man who was so powerful before disappeared? Li Cong added tens of billions of euros to Herbert's gift to Zheng E's plan. Did he just admit defeat? Don't want these before? This is not Li Cong's style.

Herbert's death will definitely bring a huge shock to Europa, and Li Cong will definitely benefit himself from the shock. After knowing all Li Cong's plans, the skeleton will have to marvel at Li Cong. His ability is indeed stronger than others. In the future internal friction, it can be said that it is because of Hebite's death that Europa split.

Five hours later, "Sir, we have obtained the latest information. Dozens of people were killed in the gun battle in the Europa Parliament just now, and now less than ten people have escaped. The Herbert family's special forces were completely wiped out. "Karelina said with a report. She really couldn't believe that such a thing would happen. Generally, this kind of high-level organization should not have such a scene of fighting. It should be done step by step by political groups. I really didn't expect such a thing to happen.

"Hehe, they should have thought about what was going on when they killed Herbert. Now it's their turn. They asked for it themselves. Is Mo Ke dead?" As for the others, Li Cong I don't really care about it. First of all, those people are not the patriarchs of their family. Even if there is a problem with those people, the whole family will not be crossed immediately. For myself, there is no benefit, but there are many scholars here. It's different, if something happened to this kid, there were not many people in the whole family who could stand up. It would be nice not to come out and celebrate.

"He is dead, and the European branch of our group has also started the acquisition of the entire News Corporation. It is estimated that it will only cost less than 130 billion euros to win, and because Europa currently has no resistance at all, we The speed will be 30% faster." Karelina said with a smile, she is very happy with every success the husband has achieved, and now she understands why Li Cong treated Herbert before Well, even though tens of billions of euros were spent, the results are absolutely brilliant. Now not only has the entire Europa been destroyed, but News Corporation has also been harvested. Europa will be in a slump for at least a year and a half.

"Sir, I believe there is another best thing that you will be tempted by. Taking advantage of this húnluàn, we may get the entire Louvre." Karelina reported such a huge good news, let Li Cong also stood up, what did you say? This is the former palace of others, how come it is in my own hands.

It turns out that there is a family in Europa that manages these things. Although it seems that these monuments belong to the government, they are all for the common people to see. In fact, only a few people know who they belong to, just like the Louvre. Like a palace, there is such a closed area, but it has always been used by the family alone.

The Louvre is one of the oldest, largest and most famous museums in the world. Located on the north bank (right bank) of the Seine River in the center of Paris, France, it was first built in 1204, and after more than 800 years of expansion and reconstruction, it has reached its current scale. The Louvre covers an area (including the lawn) of about 45 hectares, and the building covers an area of ​​4.8 hectares. The total length is 680 meters. Its overall building is in the shape of a "u" and is divided into new and old parts. The old part was built in the Louis XIV period, and the new part was built in the Napoleonic era. The pyramid-shaped glass entrance in front of the palace was designed by Chinese architect IM Pei. At the same time, the Louvre is also the oldest royal palace in French history.

For owning such a good thing, even Li Cong, who has always been unhappy, is very happy at the moment. This thing can't be bought even if you have money.

The Louvre Museum (uvremuseum) has a very tortuous and complicated history, which is intricately intertwined with the history of Paris and France. Of course, people come here to see the world-famous art treasures with their own eyes, and at the same time, they also want to see the Louvre itself, because it is not only a great art masterpiece, but also a witness to the history of France for nearly a thousand years. 50 French kings and queens once lived here, and many famous artists lived here.

Li Cong rushed here at the first time. The original owner here is dead, but his son and daughter are still looking at this palace very reluctantly. It used to be the place where they grew up, but because of the death of their father, This place is occupied by a more powerful big shot, and that big shot is Li Cong in front of him.

Li Cong really wanted to go over and tell them, you shouldn't bear grudges against me, because your father squandered too much money, and before he owed me, I could only take your house, but Li Cong watched Their pitiful appearance is a bit speechless.
