America’s Big Hero

Chapter 221 Old Man David's Proposal

(Fat, send, send now, Jiumugong, you annoying little fairy...)

"I saw the news of your invasion of Colombia on TV. It was reported on TV that you killed more than 500 people there, and then burned all the bones to ashes and buried them under a factory." Old Sa Shu give a thumbs up.

"For those drug offenders, those who have been taught repeatedly and caused social turmoil, we should adopt this direct method. This is an attitude that is responsible to the entire society and the people."

"I approve of your approach."

Sean's expression is weird, am I reaching an agreement with Lao Sa?

Iraq or the entire Middle East can watch European TV stations.

Previously, Murdoch's Sky TV station had been advocating how Sean's X security company engaged in massacres, how they invaded Colombia, and how the names of Colombians were in dire straits.

However, in the eyes of ordinary people, this thing is indeed quite evil, but in the eyes of national leaders, it is another taste.

Cruel, unscrupulous, strong firepower, commercial organization, don't have to bear the responsibilities that those countries need to bear, what a super good thug!

Don't you dare to fart without watching Colombia!

After receiving the news and conducting some investigations, Lao Sa was immediately moved.

The American flag alone is worth a lot of money!

It is said that it is a purely commercial organization, but Americans are Americans. It is good that they are not bullied. If they are bullied, see if the US government will jump out and yell.

Besides, that guy's surname is Rockefeller!

Based on these two points, it is worth ten F-14s.

This is also the reason why Ali went to meet him in person and shouted "Welcome Mr. Rockefeller" when they met.

Sean also discovered this, so he just said that he should call himself Sean.

A small confrontation.

Lao Sa knew that the conflict between the interest groups headed by the Rockefeller family and the Yilang government was irreconcilable, and the hatred was deep.

What's more, Sean brought him a surprise.

It turned out that it was because Murdoch smeared his own news that he won such a large order. Sean instantly felt that this Australian criminal was not so annoying.

There is also a little bit of cuteness.

What's disturbing is that now this news must be kept secret, and Sean can't jump in front of Murdoch to thank him personally, which makes Sean very upset.

...

In the past few days of Sean Iraq, on the American side, Murdoch's newspapers and media are all targeting New Jersey.

The Long Branch Robbery

"Bronwick Shooting Report"

In a big New Jersey, and in a place like the United States, there shouldn’t be too many crimes, maybe it’s just drinking too much, maybe it’s a bad mood to retaliate against the society, maybe it’s impulsiveness after a quarrel, shootings happen every day, even when Sean confronts local gangsters. After performing flat management and standardizing the code of conduct.

But Murdoch's newspapers all aimed at New Jersey. For a while, it seemed that the law and order in New Jersey was bad, and it was hard to become a criminal state.

This is the benefit of controlling the right to speak in the media. Although the fact is that the law and order in New Jersey has improved greatly in the past two years, no one cares about the reports of local TV stations in New Jersey.

Other media will also help to clarify things for no reason. In fact, helping to clarify is likely to be a waste of time. Discussions will only attract wider attention to the matter.

Not only that, "Large-scale accumulation of waste electronic products in garbage dumps, is it pollution or environmental protection?" "

"Mixed Oil? Junk oil? "

"In the name of environmental protection, do destructive things! "

"Private Prison Abuse"

"High Price Prison Changes the Taste of the Law!" "

"Punishment or Reward? "

If the media wants to find some black spots, it is not casual. A series of various reports, both experts and comments, focus on sensitive topics.

The conflict between Sean and Murdoch actually caused so much negative public opinion in New Jersey, which made the state government and Congress very dissatisfied.

...

Instead of continuing to experience the Arabian style in Iraq, Sean and his party made a detour back to the United States.

Xiao En and his team are very satisfied with this order. In the eyes of old man Layton, this is the first step for the umbrella company to officially appear in the world.

As long as this step is successful, the follow-up road will be easy.

Cartagena didn't count at all before, it was serving myself, and it couldn't prove anything.

Captain Robert A. Owens was also very satisfied, and finally had a chance to flex his muscles.

Colonel Dennis Abbott was quite satisfied. Although the Marine Corps didn't have much chance to show off this time, as long as the market opened up, they would definitely have opportunities in the future.

After all, there are far more conflicts on the ground than on the sea. These days, there are not many countries that can afford a naval battle.

Not all countries have the combat effectiveness of Iraq and Iran.

Iraq had been yelling that it was the fourth military power before, and Iraq had the confidence to dare to say that.

It only admits that it is inferior to China, the United States, and the Soviet Union, and dares to challenge any other country.

Yes, we are talking about John Bull. For John Bull, the Falklands War was a war that gambled on the fate of the country, and it really sucked.

Of course, Sean is the most satisfied, 50 million US dollars, very thirst-quenching!

This operation will not take long if there are no accidents. Spend some money here to speed up the progress of the transformation. During this time, you can find a ship in charge of transportation to pick up the goods from the rabbit.

The actual escort for half a month is enough.

If you do a good job this time, there must be no shortage of follow-up appointments.

Three years, a full three years, the security company finally saw the money back.

It's really three years without opening, and three years after opening.

However, as soon as he arrived in Newark, Sean's good mood was immediately broken by some troublesome things.

"Damn it, why are these damn Australians as annoying as bedbugs!" Sean threw the newspapers that Norris had collected to the ground, cursing with an ugly face.

Norris was transferred by Sean from the film company to become the eunuch.

Now there are more and more properties under Sean's name, and many things go through him every day. If Sean doesn't want to die of exhaustion, he must have a secretary by his side.

Torrey followed Sean. He was in charge of Sean's security work. Sean had so many enemies and ran around. The safety issue alone had already broken Torre's heart.

Sean would put together a team of secretaries to serve him, and Norris was what he would use to run the team.

What he needs is that Norris does not have this ability, and eunuchs cannot be involved in politics. He can be a sounding board and arrange his own schedule, daily life, and entertainment.

Norris is an expert on this.

"Hasn't Capital Media contacted us yet?" Sean glared at Norris.

"Yes, Lamb said that someone over there has contacted him, but he felt that the other side's attitude was a bit perfunctory." Norris did not forget to add.

Sean snorted coldly, "Let Lamb contact them and make an appointment. I'll meet them in the past. Also, let Armstrong come over."

Norris went to make arrangements, and after a while Armstrong walked in.

"Sit down, I asked you to come here this time because I have something to tell you." Sean waved his hand, finally showing a smile on his face.

"Boss, what's the matter?"

"I want your intelligence team to be independent from the umbrella company." This is not Sean's whim, but he has been thinking about it for a while, "The intelligence team was originally set up to provide intelligence support for some of the secret activities back then. , but right now, the need for intelligence on the business side far outweighs the need for umbrellas."

"What I mean is that you led the intelligence team to become independent and set up an information consulting company, which is mainly responsible for commercial intelligence support."

"This..." Armstrong asked after hesitating for a while, "What about the umbrella, the battlefield cannot be without intelligence support."

"Over there, I plan to re-establish a battlefield reconnaissance team, specifically for intelligence support in a war environment, and outside the battlefield, since our umbrella is a commercial organization, it is actually within the scope of commercial intelligence."

"I understand, I'm fine." Armstrong nodded. This is also good, the scope of work is clearer, the risk is lower, and the work location does not have to be limited to the military base.

Although they are all from the military background, those who engage in intelligence do not have any battlefield syndrome. They are different from those gangsters, and they tend to live more like ordinary people.

"That's it. I won't interfere with the specific working methods. What I mean is that the intelligence team can be divided into levels. For those complicated tasks that are not confidential, purely information collection, or low-confidential tasks, you can directly Recruit people from the society to complete it, freeing up our professional manpower." Sean made a suggestion.

"Haha, sure enough, most of the time things make sense. From a capitalist's point of view, this kind of exploitation is more targeted and thorough, and will not cause unnecessary waste." Armstrong is also in a good mood today, a rare Made a joke.

"Damn it, how can this be exploitation? It's called putting the right people in more suitable positions." Sean pretended to be furious and said, "I should get a group of robots to watch you with a watch for 8 hours. Work, don't rest for a second!"

"Well, I finally know what the capitalists are doing to develop artificial intelligence technology!" Armstrong shook his head and sighed.

"The purpose is to prevent capitalists from being exploited by laborers." Sean said solemnly.

Armstrong: ? ? ?

"No, I heard it wrong or you said it wrong!" Armstrong looked at Sean with a strange expression.

"Of course you heard it right!" Sean said nonsense seriously, "but when the capital is invested in the company, he can't move, and he can only wait for the labor force to cooperate with him. On the contrary, the labor force can open a small No, it's easy to make a phone call, drink coffee, or do a little self-serving business during working hours!"

"So, in the process of combining capital with labor, capital is actually weak, and it is easy to be bullied, easy to be bullied, easy to be wasted, and easy to be exploited."

"As for the labor force, he is strong, so we'entrepreneurs' must prevent capital from being exploited by laborers."

"This is so amazing!" Armorst opened his mouth wide and said loudly with an exaggerated expression: "Max can make you come alive!"

"God, boss, do you really think so, have you said this to the outside world?"

"I, no, dare, say it!" Sean straightened his back, with a confident face, "I'm afraid someone will shoot me black!"

The two looked at each other and laughed out loud.

Capitalists dare not think so!

fear death!

(The above is excerpted from Xue Zhaofeng, former co-director of Peking University Law and Economics Research Center.)

After talking and laughing for a while, Sean said, "Send me someone over here. There are so many things to do every day, and I fly around the United States. I need a secretary who can help me answer questions at any time. I can't call you over every time."

"OK!" Armstrong tilted his head and thought for a while, showing a big smile, "I have a good candidate to recommend to you, the boss, you must be satisfied."

"Okay, I'll wait." Sean said with a smile.

There are always surprises in life.

Armstrong left, and before he left, Sean told him that he had been staring at that bastard Murdoch lately.

Something like a toad.

Sean is currently deeply rooted in New Jersey, and these ambiguous public opinions can't hurt him at all, but they are not very hurtful and extremely insulting.

...

Resting at home for a day, Sean went to the Rockefeller family office in New York the next day.

As soon as he entered the door, Xiao En shouted emotionally: "Fifth Grandpa, I'm here to see you!"

There was a smile on the corner of David's mouth, and he squinted at Sean who walked in with his things, "Your boy is here, sit down."

"Black tea!" Sean raised his hand in greeting to the secretary and then didn't sit down. He walked to David's desk and put the gift in his hand on the table.

"Heh, it's rare to have a gift, what?" David glanced at Xiao En with a smile.

"It's nothing. I went out to do errands a few days ago, and I brought it back by the way, Arabic specialties." Sean waved his hands casually and sat down. "I know you don't lack anything, just a little love for the elders."

"Oh!" David took the gift box with great interest. The packaging was unexpectedly beautiful, but it was a bit rustic and gold-plated.

Open the box, inside is a neat arrangement of dates.

"Date palms are sweet and delicious, with high nutritional value. They are rich in vitamins and can also fight cancer. Eating a few a day is good for your body." Xiao En said casually: "Don't worry, clean them and eat them directly." .”

Date palm, a specialty of Iraq, ranks first in the world in terms of date palm output.

Of course David had eaten dates, he picked up one with a smile and threw it into his mouth slowly, um, it was unexpectedly sweet.

Can it be good, Lao Sa sent the best dates in Iraq.

The secretary brought tea in, and Sean thanked him. Seeing the secretary go out and close the door, David closed the gift box and looked at Sean with a smile, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Fifth Grandpa, what you said makes people sad." Xiao En's face turned pale, "I can't come and see the elders at home if I have nothing to do."

"Heh." David chuckled, "Okay, if you say it's okay, it's okay, you've got your heart."

Sean didn't say anything, and he didn't ask, just to see what the little bastard wanted to do.

Contrary to David's expectation, Sean really chatted for a while, then got up to leave.

Seeing Xiao En walk to the door without saying anything, David couldn't sit still.

"Little bastard, are you really alright?"

"Fifth Grandpa, am I so utilitarian in your heart?" Xiao En's face was full of grievances, and his eyes were red.

"Hiss..." David narrowed his eyes and sighed for a while, "I know that you want to acquire the TV network of Capital Media Company, but the result may be beyond your expectations."

"Huh?" Xiao En was taken aback, and closed the door casually, his tears disappeared instantly, and he asked solemnly, "What's going on?"

"Do you know how much Capital Media's TV network is worth?"

"5...7 billion?" Xiao En asked tentatively.

Shengsheng made an impromptu decision to acquire Capital Media Company because Harvey brought up Murdoch. He has not investigated anything in depth. According to the 50 million TV station price that Lamb inquired about before, Sean doubled it for the other party, and then calculated it. of this price.

He has been very busy recently, and he didn't have time to pay too much attention at all. Hearing what old man David said, he felt a little nervous.

"Oh, be more courageous." Old man David smiled.

"Huh? One billion?" Sean was really shocked.

Old man David smiled and remained silent.

"It can't be 1.4 billion, is it crazy?" Sean's eyes widened, his entire net worth is not even 700 million now, you tell me 1.4 billion.

Wow, it's a plant!

"The structure is still small." Old man David laughed loudly: "If you don't participate in the competition, Murdoch can win about 1.6 billion, but if you participate in the competition..."

Old man David raised his hand.

"Ah!" Sean threw his head back fiercely, cursing angrily, "What the hell, am I crazy, why is it so expensive?"

"Ha, you don't think you're the only smart person in the whole world, do you?" Seeing Sean's outrage, the old man suddenly felt better. "Everyone can see the development prospects of TV networks. At present, there is no one in the United States that can cover TV networks." The cable TV network in most parts of the country, currently, under the squeeze of the three major wireless TV media, the development of Ducheng Media Company has hit a bottleneck, so there is the idea of ​​​​introducing investors or selling it."

"That is to say, even if it is acquired, the pressure of the burden will be passed on, and the risk is very high."

"No, I don't have that much money, I admit, he has Murdoch." Sean gritted his back molars and asked with a look of resentment.

"Heh, he's not like you, he always likes to eat alone." David said with a smile: "Murdoch is not small, of course, he doesn't have so much money for a wholly-owned acquisition, Murdoch will buy part of the stock, and then Use the stock of News Corp. to exchange with Capital Media Company, add loans, and finally complete the merger and acquisition.”

"I don't think you have a full understanding of it, huh." David glared at Sean dissatisfied.

"You have never been in touch with the operation of TV networks, and all the companies under your name have nothing to do with TV media. I don't think that you rush into an unfamiliar field rashly."

"Your means are useless in the operation of TV stations. In the final analysis, the operation of TV networks depends on content. Without content that attracts users, everything is empty talk."

Sean is developing well at present, and David also wants to persuade Sean by taking this opportunity, not wanting him to go astray.

However, Old Man David probably won't be able to persuade him...

Truth is in the hands of a few.

Most people think that they can do it, that this business can make money, and they all do it. This business will definitely develop greatly, but they will not make a lot of money in a short period of time.

Most people don't think this business can be done, so this kind of business has the possibility to make a lot of money in a short time.

For example, the earliest Taobao and JD.com.

Therefore, those who have achieved success in a short period of time are extremely confident and conceited, and those who can be persuaded will not achieve such high achievements in a short period of time.

Everyone is optimistic about the future development of the TV network, so the TV network will definitely have great development.

However, making money or something is very slow.

This is a long-term investment, and it is necessary to fight a way out in the fierce competition.

Sean nodded. I admit that what David said is correct. Normally, it is true that no TV network should be acquired.

What kind of content does a person who makes a fortune with one shot at a time...

What's the difference between this and a cook who wants to be a general!

But he can really do a good job!

It's just that before this thing is made, there is really no way to say it, and it can't be explained clearly, and no one will believe it.

Pete Chernin only believed in his own ability, in the protection Sean could provide, and in Rockefeller's financial resources.

As for Sean, um, boss, financial and spiritual support is enough!

"Thank you Fifth Grandpa. However, I still want to accept the TV network. I will accept it. Jesus can't stop what I said!" Sean said firmly.

Old man David rolled his eyes, as if I knew it.

"Okay, you buy. However, let me tell you in advance that the think tank of the Rockefeller Foundation has a very low evaluation of your acquisition and is not optimistic about it. Therefore, the consortium will not support it, and I have nothing to do."

"Moreover, Rockefeller's main investment direction is not in the media field. Every consortium has a direct main investment direction, and it will not easily cross the line." Old David reminded.

"Then what if I really run the media group?" Sean had to ask clearly, so he wouldn't believe in the integrity of those big consortiums.

"Accidents are everywhere in this world, isn't it!" David laughed and said, "This kind of world is interesting and exciting enough. If it keeps repeating itself, what's the fun in it?"

Sean instantly understood that he was not a member of the Rockefeller consortium, if he really made it happen...

What a fucking surprise!

It's a fucking surprise!

Sean had to do it, and the old man David didn't stop him. He just told him not to use core assets for mortgage loans, and to cut assets well. Even if he lost money, he would file for bankruptcy at worst.

With the family as the backing, there is no way that Xiao En will really lose his fortune.

Looking at Sean who disappeared at the door, David sighed, wondering if this kid could listen to him.

After sitting for a while, he opened the gift box Sean brought, and slowly ate two dates.

Eating, eating, David always felt that something was wrong. He stared at the gift box for a long time, closed it, and was dumbfounded when he looked back.

An Iraqi flag is printed on it.

Iraq?

Looking carefully, this thing is not for sale at all, it is specially used in Iraq as a gift to guests, so it was Sean who brought it back in Iraq.

At this time there is a war over there, what is that kid doing in Iraq?

Was also officially received and presented with gifts?

This is so...

The more David thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong.

"The little bastard is not going to get involved in the Iran-Iraq war, is he!?" David's eyes widened suddenly.

"I……"

"Stinky boy, no wonder you gave me a gift, this is, this is something wrong, let me explain it to you!" David gritted his teeth angrily, grabbed a date palm and bit it down hard.

After eating this mouthful of dates, I won’t be able to excuse myself if I don’t know!

Damn, you came to cheat and attack me, a 70-year-old man.

Not the first time!

This fucking is a born bad breed...

After cursing a few words, old David laughed again.

He picked up another date and threw it into his mouth.

However, with such a bad boy, there is no need to worry that Rockefeller will have no successor after his death, and there will not be a few bones left that were swallowed by those professional managers.

Thinking about it, old man David picked up a date again and threw it into his mouth.

so sweet!

...

After returning to Newark, Sean had no time to spare. After getting in touch with Lamb, he took a plane and went straight to Los Angeles.

Definitely, must buy a private jet and sit in the first-class cabin. Sean just felt unable to stretch his legs, and silently swears in his heart a little depressed.

When he arrived in Los Angeles, Pete Chernin was already waiting for him in the villa.

Take Pete to the study of the villa.

"The value of Capital Media Company is far beyond imagination." Sean said directly with a serious expression as soon as he entered the door.

"I know too." There was no surprise on Pete Chernin's face.

After he submitted his resignation, there was still a period of time before he officially resigned. During this time, he used the resources at hand to investigate the capital media.

After all, he is specialized in TV network business, and he did not spend too much effort to investigate the plot and figure out the valuation.

If you simply calculate the net worth, Capital Media is indeed around 500 million.

And any company has debts, and Capital Media is no exception. Adding debts, it is about 800 million.

In addition, the brand value, the number of Internet users, the film libraries owned by the company, copyrights, including the artists and employees signed by the company, these are the company's wealth.

Adding these together, it is about 1 billion.

Metropolis Media is not bankrupt, but someone else wants to buy it. The other party will give up a well-run company, give up future profits, and sell at a premium.

A simple acquisition of some shares requires at least a 20-30% premium, let alone the acquisition of a company.

The folk saying is the so-called transfer fee. For a profitable store with a cost of 1 million, the transfer will cost 1 million.

Pete Chernin is now worried about whether Sean is going to give up the acquisition plan in such a hurry to find him.

To be honest, he blamed Sean a little bit in his heart. Why did you spend so much money to acquire a company without investigating it carefully?

This... is so fucking nonsense.

Pete felt cheated.

"It seems that we have to change the way of acquisition." Sean sat down and said with narrowed eyes.

Hearing this, Pete breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why, I'm worried that I'll give up, how is that possible." Xiao En chuckled, "It's just that I used to think about a wholly-owned acquisition, and now I can only change the way."

"I got news from the family that Murdoch is going to acquire part of the shares, and use the shares of the company under his name to replace them and mortgage the shares for loans to complete the snack business."

Hearing that the family got the news, Pete's eyes lit up immediately.

With the backing of the Rockefeller consortium, Pete will be fearless.

Of course Sean knew what Pete was thinking, but he wouldn't say it.

This is not called cheating!

How can the businessman's business be a lie?

"I won't use the company's shares for replacement." Sean told Pete his thoughts, "I can only buy a part of the shares and become a major shareholder. I will find a way to raise money."

"What I asked you to mean is that after the acquisition of Capital Media Company, you will take over as the president, but for the time being, we will not form a media group, and Sean Film and Television will operate independently."

"I will form a wholly-owned subsidiary under Sean Films, just like your current job, specializing in the production of TV dramas and TV shows, and the production will be separated."

"After a period of development and the growth of the wholly-owned subsidiary, Capital Media will be used to annex Sean Films to dilute the shares of other shareholders."

"What do you think?" Sean looked at Pete.

"It's a good way." Pete said with a smile, as to whether the production of TV programs and drama series can be successful and whether they can be popular.

Pete was sure of it, because that's what he was made to do, after all.

"If that's the case, we can first acquire a part of Capital Media's shares from the small shareholders." Pete thought for a while and said, "I have some connections. Ask around, and we should be able to find out who has the intention to sell the shares in our hands."

"Okay, I asked Lamb to contact Capital Media, and we can meet together later, you are my trump card." As he spoke, Sean smiled and said, "I thought I was just embarrassing Murdoch, hehe, see When it comes to you, they will know my determination."

"I'm very happy to play such a big role." Pete said with a smile.

...

While Sean was busy setting up the media group, on the other side, Robert A. Owens rushed to the shipyard.

It is impossible to speed up the renovation and maintenance, unless you add money.

The price was quickly negotiated, and the shipyard was very happy. They just liked these expedited ones. It was nothing more than a slight adjustment of the work plan. There was no extra cost for some workers from other product lines.

In addition, Robert A. Owens also proposed to install a set of shipboard anti-aircraft weapons.

The missile system originally planned to be installed was only quadruple Harpoon anti-ship missiles, but since it was going to the Persian Gulf, it was bound to be threatened by the Ilang Air Force, so it was necessary to install a set of anti-aircraft missiles.

I discussed it before coming here, and finally decided to install a set of Tatar anti-aircraft missiles.

Tatar air defense missile, code-named RIM-24, is the first generation of ship-to-air missile system in the United States. It was developed in 1958 and entered service in 1961. On destroyers and frigates of the US Navy.

Iraq purchased Italian wolf-class frigates, equipped with air defense missiles of the United States' Sea Sparrow' air defense missiles.

Sparrows, from hearing it, knew that they could only eat small things like bug food. Sean didn't like this kind of crap.

The facts are indeed true. The Sea Sparrow was originally an air-to-air missile, a combat missile used on fighter jets. The range depends on the speed of the fighter jet and the direction of the target.

If it is charged head-on at full speed, the theoretical maximum range can reach 35 kilometers, but if it is a pursuit, it is only five kilometers.

In other words, as long as it is five kilometers away, there is nothing to be afraid of.

After all, it is a little sparrow!

However, it is a little bit close to hitting a plane, but it will be continuously developed on this basis in the later stage, and it can be used as an anti-missile interception system on a battleship. For direct missiles, this little thing is still very useful.

Look at the 'Tatars' again!

The Tatars, that is the existence that the Europeans hailed as the whip of God, the king of riding and shooting, and the existence of invincible hands across the Eurasian continent.

Full semi-active radar homing guidance, with a maximum range of 19 kilometers, a maximum height of 12 kilometers, and a maximum speed of 2.5 times the speed of sound. The length of the whole bomb is 4.6 meters, the diameter of the bomb is 0.34 meters, and the mass of the whole bomb is 680 kg.

The shooting range is 4 times that of the little sparrow, faster, more accurate, fully computer-controlled, and more sensitive.

Of course, money is even better! !

Without the order from Iraq, Sean would not be willing to equip this thing for a while.

Damn, missiles are expensive, launch systems are even more expensive.

The launch system is not just launch equipment, but also includes a complete set of radar and fire control systems.

The radar must also be combined and deployed with the radar on the original ship to form a radar array to achieve better results.

This thing, without technology, even if I give you something, you can't install it.

Therefore, the assembly cost is also very expensive...

Back and forth, Sean was asked for another 12 million, and the money he just saved was thrown into it again.

...

Sean rushed to Washington two days ahead of the appointment time with the capital media.

Capital Media was first established in Texas, and later gradually merged some cable TV stations in other states, and finally formed.

So, its shareholders are everywhere.

Pete Chernin has learned part of the news, and the shareholders of Capital Media want to sell.

"Mr. George, hello."

"Mr. Sean, hello."

After meeting, shaking hands, and exchanging greetings, George looked at Sean. He was a little confused about the reason why this guy suddenly came to visit him.

It's not like they really want to buy Capital Media.

"I just said straight to the point, I want to buy the shares of Capital Media in your hand." Sean looked into George's eyes, "You make an offer."

"You really want to buy Capital Media?" George looked at Sean in astonishment.

"Of course." Sean said with a smile.

George was a little caught off guard by Sean. He wanted to sell 5% of Capital Media's shares, and he had talked with Murdoch a few times, but they didn't reach an agreement on the price.

George asked for 85 million, but Murdoch was not prepared to pay such a premium, and Murdoch was only prepared to pay 70 million.

This is a bit far from George's psychological price of 80 million.

The two sides are still grinding slowly.

If he is allowed to get more than 50% of the shares, he will lower the price even more later.

"Price." Sean raised his hand.

"85 million!" George directly asked the price, and it was not who he sold it to.

"I've always been straightforward in doing business, with a one-off price of 80 million. If you agree, we can sign the contract at any time!" Sean was even more straightforward, and directly returned a price.

George took a deep breath and looked at Sean in horror.

Are today's young people so courageous?

80 million, just open your mouth!

Old man George squinted his eyes, and he suddenly felt that his asking price was a bit low.

"It's almost there, there's no need to worry about that little bit." Sean leaned on the sofa and said with a smile, "I was the first to find you, Mr. George. I hope this is the beginning of our cooperation. What do you think?"

"Okay." George smiled and spread his hands, 80 million business, this is the first time in his life that the old man talked about business so quickly.

It was really unacceptable for a while.

"I'm glad we can reach an agreement." Sean stood up, laughed and shook George's hand.

Although it is a verbal agreement, the two will not violate it.

How much is the minimum amount of credit, it all depends on the net worth of different people.

A person with only a few hundred dollars in his pocket may be able to buy his credit for 10 dollars.

Of course, you may not be able to buy it with any amount of money.

For a person with billions in his pocket, his reputation is worth at least tens of millions or more.

Of course, if you can be invisible, you can also be worthless.

This is a large part of the reason why it is said that "poor lives with treachery, riches grow with conscience".

It doesn't mean that if you have money, you will become kind. A good person is a good person, no matter whether he is poor or rich, and a bad person is a bad person, no matter whether he is poor or rich.

Wealth cannot change the essence of a person, wealth is just an amplifier of ability.

The rich have a conscience because, if you are rich, the value of your reputation will be higher, and you won't do anything for a little profit.

Similarly, but when the "name" is worth 10 million, they don't mind buying it for 1 million to get the reputation back.

When they first made a fortune, capitalists could do whatever they could, but when they got rich, they were willing to do charity to gain fame.

Of course, fame can also make them more money.

After the verbal agreement is reached, the next thing is to sign the contract. There is no rush. Xiao En means to sign a regular purchase agreement first.

Metropolis Media Company is a listed company, and a shareholding change of more than 5% must be announced.

"I will pay a deposit of 10 million yuan first, and then change the shares at the right time." Sean said, of course, more because he can't afford 80 million yuan now.

10 million will be thrown around for a while...

"OK, no problem." George still believed in Sean, and he was more willing to believe in Rockefeller.

"By the way, I know that Mr. George is engaged in oil smelting, so it's okay for me to pay the rest with oil." Sean said with a smile.

"Ah?" George was taken aback, oil for cash?

"That's not good." George shook his head. The international oil price fluctuates, and it is difficult to control the price. They sign supply contracts in advance for oil smelting.

"Haha, there's nothing wrong with that. Just sign a suitable price. I can lower the price you originally purchased." Sean blinked, "Even if it's 1% lower, it's good, isn't it?"

This idea is Xiao En's impromptu idea. After the outbreak of the Iran-Iraq War, due to Iran's blockade and control of the Persian Gulf, it is very difficult to sell oil in Laos, and it is difficult for tankers to enter and exit.

Capitalists, at this time, the price must be lowered.

Therefore, it is actually very difficult for Lao Sa to pay 50 million yuan, but if Lao Sa uses oil to pay US dollars...

Sean reckons that according to the international oil price, he can lower the price by at least one-third, and even better, he can lower the price by half!

That's $100 million worth of oil!

George narrowed his eyes and looked at Sean for a long time. He couldn't figure out where Sean's oil came from, and it couldn't be from Rockefeller.

Is it possible that this guy robbed Colombia's oil fields?

However, as a capitalist, he is not in the mood to worry about others, if it is cheap, why not.

After discussing for a long time, and referring to the current oil price, it was finally agreed that it was 3% lower than the market price.

Sean was very happy to negotiate two deals at once. He invited old George to his Peace Hotel, and old George readily agreed.

Coming out of Old George's house, Sean couldn't help but wonder, if Old George became popular immediately after signing the contract, wouldn't it be...

Suppress this bold thought.

Sean told Torrey to drive towards the old cloth's house.

When you come to Washington, of course you have to visit the old cloth head.

For Lao Sa's order, just to be on the safe side, I'd better consult Lao Bu, in case there are any unexpected loopholes in him and people will catch him.

I had already made an appointment before coming here, and Xiao Bu greeted me at the door. At this time, Lao Bu was still off work.

Sean took out the dates packaged in a gold-encrusted box again. When he was walking by Lao Sa's side, Sean deliberately asked for a lot.

Hearing that Xiao En was going to take the battleship to Yilang, Xiao Bu was shocked.

This military outsourcing thing really made you do it!

When Lao Bu came back, it was not the first time that Sean came to the door. He was not polite, and he and Lao Bu went into the study after dinner.

Hearing the cooperation between Sean and Iraq, Lao Bu frowned and pondered for a long time, "There is no problem, but there should be no conflict with Yilang."

"Remember, this is a must, otherwise it will be very troublesome."

"Of course, but, I don't understand why?" Sean asked.

"Ilang is holding hostages from our Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The mid-term election is approaching. At this time, there is a real conflict, which is very, very troublesome." Old Bu said solemnly.

"Okay, I see." Sean nodded.

Xiao En nodded, and Lao Bu suddenly showed a smiling face, "If you really do well this time, maybe, you will have a good chance."

"Ah, what a chance!" Sean asked in confusion.

Old Bu smiled and shook his head, "We'll have to talk about it at a later time. I can't tell right now. If you really need it, it's a very, very good opportunity for your career."

Sean nodded knowingly, but kept slandering in his heart, damn it, I hate these old riddlers the most.

Those who engage in politics are so talkative.
