Rebirth of the Great Entertainment Empire

…

Mark Ritchie, the most controversial international businessman in the 20th century, is known as the "King of Oil" by the industry, and one of the ten most wanted criminals wanted by the US Department of Justice for seventeen years. He later gained notoriety for being pardoned by President Bill Clinton and again in the media spotlight for hearings under Attorney General Eric Holder.

At this moment, Xu Cun is sitting face to face with this controversial international businessman.

There were four other people in the room - Marvin Davis, Jeffrey Katzenberg, Barry Diller and Xu Cun's old friend Alan Ryder Jr.

From two hours ago, Xu Cun, Mark Ritchie, and Marvin Davis were talking about Xu Cun's acquisition of 20th Century Fox Film Company, while Jeffrey, Barry Diller, and Alan Lay Jr. Germany participated in the negotiations as a negotiating assistant for both parties.

That's right, the two oil tycoons, Mark Ritchie and Marvin Davis, are the real owners of Twentieth Century Fox.

Little Alan Ryder looked at Xu Cun who had hardly changed from a few years ago except his temperament - Little Alan Ryder really did not expect that one day Xu Cun would become his little Alan Ryder's boss! Then, little Alan Ryder looked at his original boss, Mark Ritchie, and said, "If it weren't for the political gangsters from the Department of Justice, how could Mr. Mark sell the 20th Century Fox Film Company?"

Last year, Mark Ritchie was charged by the U.S. Department of Justice with fraud, trade with enemies, tax evasion and other charges. Mark Ritchie's company pleaded guilty to some of the charges and paid a fine of $200 million and arrears. Taxes, but the US Department of Justice is still holding on to Mark Rich.

If not, Mark Ritchie has no plans to sell Twentieth Century Fox.

And Marvin Davis, another boss of the 20th Century Fox Film Company, is also in trouble, so Marvin Davis also wants to sell the 20th Century Fox Film Company.

Xu Cun wanted to buy, and Mark Ritchie and Marvin Davis wanted to sell. Naturally, the deal went very fast.

At present, the only consensus that the two sides have not reached is how much is 20th Century Fox worth?

Mark Ritchie and Marvin Davis offered $750 million to Twentieth Century Fox (to be honest, Mark Ritchie and Marvin Davis didn't ask for that much - yes You know, in 1981, when Mark Ritchie and Marvin Davis teamed up to buy the 20th Century Fox Film Company, they spent $722 million. Now it's definitely not worth the $750 million saved by Xu. Black Xu Cun. Of course, this also shows that Mark Ritchie and Marvin Davis are in a very difficult situation now.).

And Xu Cun clearly remembers that Murdoch only spent less than $600 million ($575 million - in early 1985, Murdoch first purchased half of 20th Century Fox for $250 million). After that, he successively bought the remaining shares of 20th Century Fox Film Company for US$320 million.) He just bought the 20th Century Fox Film Company, so Xu Cun could not accept Mark Ritchie and Marvin at all. Davis' offer to Twentieth Century Fox.

When it comes to Twentieth Century Fox's prices, Mark Ritchie and Marvin Davies are biting to the death - Mark Ritchie and Marvin Davies don't seem to have any intention of cutting prices at all.

Of course, it's impossible to just talk about something as big as buying 20th Century Fox.

Therefore, in the case of a stalemate on price, Xu Cun, Mark Ritchie and Marvin Davis gave each other time to think.

Taking advantage of this moment, Xu Cun and Barry Diller began to discuss with Metropolis Media, the fourth largest television group in the United States, about the acquisition of six local TV stations in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, Dallas and Washington under Metro Media.

Metro Media's offer for six local TV stations in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, Dallas and Washington is $1.8 billion, Xu counter-offered $1.3 billion, and the two sides have six TV stations in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, Dallas and Washington The price of local TV stations is also at a stalemate.

Xu Cun encountered two troubles in the process of acquiring 20th Century Fox and six local TV stations in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, Dallas and Washington:

The first trouble, Murdoch spoiled the game - Murdoch also began to contact Mark Ritchie and Marvin Davis and the Metropolis Media Company, and showed a strong intention to buy. To this end, Murdoch even sold his "Country Voice" and "Sun Times".

but--

Now Murdoch is nowhere near as much cash as Xu Cun - he simply can't come up with $2 billion to buy Twentieth Century Fox and six local TV stations in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, Dallas and Washington.

But--

With Murdoch competing, the prices of Mark Ritchie and Marvin Davis and Metropolis Media are biting even harder, making it difficult for Xu Cun's negotiating team to push down 20th Century Fox and New York. , Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, Dallas and Washington, six local TV stations.

The second trouble is that there are some doubts in the White House about Xu Cun, a Chinese, who simultaneously acquired the 20th Century Fox Film Company and six local TV stations in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, Dallas and Washington.

It can be said that if Murdoch is allowed to disrupt the situation or the voice of doubts from the White House becomes louder, it will definitely cause great harm to Xu Cun's acquisition of the 20th Century Fox Film Company and the six local TV stations in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, Dallas and Washington. great difficulty.

Therefore, while Xu Cun sought help from the Bush family through Bush Jr., he accelerated the acquisition of the 20th Century Fox Film Company and six local TV stations in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, Dallas and Washington.

The strength of the Bush family is not built. In just two days, the voice in the White House changed-it became that the United States is a free country and encourages free trade~www.wuxiamtl.com~In fact-

The reason why the Bush family can easily change the wind in the White House is mainly because Xu Cun did not violate the laws of the United States. The law that G citizens are not allowed to own newspapers and TV stations at the same time, so unless Xu Cun also changes into the US G citizenship like Murdoch, there is absolutely no solution.

Fearing that Murdoch would use public opinion pressure to force himself out, Xu Cun, Mark Ritchie and Marvin Davis lowered the price of Twentieth Century Fox to $680 million, and the Metropolitan Media Company sold New York, Los Angeles, Acquired Twentieth Century Fox and all six local stations in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, Dallas and Washington when the price of the six local stations in Chicago, Houston, Dallas and Washington dropped to $1.67 billion .

In other words, Xu Cun bought 20th Century Fox Film Company and six local TV stations in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, Dallas and Washington more than Murdoch bought 20th Century Fox Film Company and New York, Los Angeles , Chicago, Houston, Dallas and Washington six local television stations spent a full $ 270 million more.
