American TV series

(Fafafafa, let’s do it now, Mr. Jiu Mu, you annoying little goblin...)

"I saw the news about your invasion of Colombia on TV. It was reported on TV that you killed more than 500 people there. Afterwards, you burned all the bones to ashes and buried them under a factory." Lao Sashu said.

Give a thumbs up.

"For those drug criminals, those who refuse to change despite repeated abuses and plunge society into turmoil, we should take such direct measures. This is an attitude that is responsible for the entire society and the people."

"I very much agree with your approach."

Sean's expression was 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 had been programming and publicizing how Sean's X security company carried out massacres, invaded Colombia, and how Colombian people 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 a different story.

He is ruthless, has no scruples, has strong firepower, is a commercial organization, and does not have to bear the responsibilities that countries need to bear. This is a super good thug!

Don’t you even dare to fart if you haven’t seen Colombia?

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

The American flag alone is worth a lot of money!

It is said to be a purely commercial organization, but Americans are Americans. It’s okay if they are not bullied. But if they are bullied, you will see if the US government will jump out and scream.

Besides, that guy’s last name is Rockefeller!

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

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

Sean also discovered this and just said to call himself Sean.

A small confrontation.

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

What's more, Sean also brought him a surprise.

It turned out that it was because of the news about Murdoch's slander 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 annoying is that now the news must be kept secret, and Sean can't jump in front of Murdoch to thank him personally, which makes Sean very unhappy.

…

In the past few days since Sean Ilac, in the United States, newspapers and media owned by Murdoch have all set their sights on New Jersey.

"The Long Branch Robbery"

"Bronwick Shooting Report"

New Jersey is such a big place, and it's a place like the United States. There shouldn't be too many crime cases. Maybe it's just drinking too much, maybe it's a bad mood to retaliate against society, maybe it's impulsive after a quarrel. Shootings happen every day, even when Sean is attacking a local gang.

After flattening management and standardizing the code of conduct.

But Murdoch's newspapers all targeted New Jersey. For a while, it seemed as if New Jersey's public security was so bad that it had become a crime state.

This is the benefit of controlling the media's voice. Although the fact is that public security in New Jersey has greatly improved in the past two years, no one paid attention to the local New Jersey TV station reports.

Other media will help clarify something for no reason. In fact, helping to clarify is likely to be a waste of time. Discussions will only draw greater attention to the matter.

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

"Blended oil? Garbage oil?"

"In the name of environmental protection, destructive things are done!"

"Private prison prisoner abuse incident"

"High-priced prisons make the law taste bad!"

"Punishment or Reward?"

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

The conflict between Sean and Murdoch actually caused New Jersey to receive so much negative publicity, which made the state government and Congress very dissatisfied.

…

Instead of continuing to appreciate the Arab customs in Iraq, Sean and his group took a detour back to the United States.

Sean and his team are very satisfied with this order. In the eyes of old man Layton, this is the first step for Umbrella Company to officially debut in the world.

As long as this step is successful, the rest of the journey will be easy.

Before, Cartagena didn’t count at all. It was just serving oneself and could not prove anything.

Captain Robert A. Owens was also very satisfied and finally had a chance to show off his talents.

Colonel Dennis Abbot was also quite satisfied. Although the Marine Corps had no chance to shine this time, as long as the market opened up, they would inevitably have opportunities in the future.

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

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

Iraq has always claimed that it is the fourth military power, and Iraq has the confidence to dare to say so.

It only admits that it cannot compare with China, the United States, and the Soviet Union, and it dares to challenge any other country.

Yes, we are talking about John Bull. For John Bull, the Falklands War was a war in which the fate of the country was staked, and it was really bad.

Of course, the most satisfied person is Sean, 50 million US dollars is very thirsty!

This operation will not take long if nothing unexpected happens. Spend some money here to speed up the transformation progress. During this time, you can find a ship responsible for transportation to pick up the goods from Rabbit.

Half a month of actual escort is enough.

If you do a good job this time, I’m sure you’ll get a lot of follow-up orders.

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

It really means that it does not open for three years, but it lasts for three years after opening.

However, upon arriving in Newark, Sean's good mood was immediately broken by some disturbing things.

"Damn it, why are these damn Australians as annoying as bed bugs!" Sean threw the newspapers collected by Norris to the ground and cursed with an ugly face.

Norris was transferred from the film company to Sean as the chief eunuch.

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

Torre followed Sean, and he was responsible for Sean's safety. Sean had so many enemies and was running around everywhere. The safety issue alone was already worrying Torre.

Sean would form a team of secretaries to serve him, and Norris would be the one he used to manage the team.

What he needs is that Norris doesn't have this ability. Eunuchs can't be involved in politics, so they can just be a mouthpiece and arrange their own schedule, daily life, and entertainment activities.

Norris is an expert in this area.

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

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

Sean snorted coldly, "Let Lamb contact them and make an appointment. I will go over to meet them. Also, let Armstrong come over."

Norris went to make arrangements, and not long after, Armstrong walked in.

"Sit down, I came to you this time because I have something to tell you." Sean waved, and finally a smile appeared on his face.

"Boss, what's the matter?"

"I want your intelligence team to be independent from the umbrella company." This is not a sudden thought of Sean, but he has been thinking about it for some time. "The intelligence team was originally established to provide intelligence support for some of the secret activities.

, but now, the commercial demand for intelligence far exceeds the protection umbrella."

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

"This..." Armstrong hesitated and asked: "What about the protective umbrella? The battlefield cannot be without intelligence support."

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

"I understand, I have no problem." Armstrong nodded. This was good. The scope of work was clearer, the risk was lower, and the work location did not have to be limited to military bases.

Although they are all soldiers, those who work in intelligence do not have battlefield syndrome. They are different from those gangs of killers. They tend to live more like ordinary people's lives.

"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 complicated work that has no confidentiality, pure information collection, or work with low confidentiality, we can directly

Recruit people from the society to complete the work and free up our professional manpower." Sean made a suggestion.

"Haha, sure enough, most of the time things work out. From a capitalist's point of view, such exploitation is more targeted and thorough, and will not cause unnecessary waste." Armstrong was also in a good mood today, which was 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: "I should get a group of robots to watch you for 8 hours

Work without taking a second's rest!"

"Okay, I finally know what the capitalists are trying to do by developing artificial intelligence technology!" Armstrong shook his head and sighed.

"The purpose is to prevent capitalists from being exploited by workers." Sean said seriously.

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. He can only wait for the labor force to cooperate with him. On the contrary, the labor force can open a small business.

Well, it’s easy to just make a phone call during working hours, have a cup of coffee, or do something for the sake of public welfare!”

"Therefore, in the process of combining capital with labor force, capital is actually the weak one. 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 the strong one, so we 'entrepreneurs' must prevent capital from being exploited by workers."

"This is so amazing!" Armstrong opened his mouth wide and said loudly with an exaggerated expression: "Marx can make you angry!"

"Oh my god, boss, do you really think so? Have you ever said this to the outside world?"

"I don't dare to say it!" Sean straightened his back with a confident look on his face, "I'm afraid someone will shoot me in the face!"

The two looked at each other and laughed loudly.

Capitalists don’t even dare to think like this!

fear death!

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

After joking for a while, Sean said: "Send me someone here. There are a lot of things going on every day. I fly all over the United States. I need a secretary who can help me answer questions at any time. I can't call you here every time."

"OK!" Armstrong tilted his head and thought for a moment, then showed a big smile, "I have a good candidate to recommend to you. Boss, you will be satisfied."

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

In life, there must always be something surprising.

Armstrong left. Before he left, Sean told him that he had been keeping an eye on Murdoch, that bastard.

Something like a toad.

Sean is currently deeply rooted in New Jersey, and these ambiguous public opinions cannot hurt him at all. However, they are not very harmful but extremely insulting.

…

After 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, Sean shouted with great emotion: "Fifth Grandpa, I'm here to see you!"

David had a smile on his lips and squinted at Sean who came in carrying something, "You're here, kid. Sit down."

"Black tea!" Sean raised his hand to greet the secretary before sitting down. He walked to David's desk and put the gift in his hand on the table.

"Oh, it's rare that I got a gift, something." David glanced at Sean with a smile.

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

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

Opening the box, there are neatly arranged dates inside.

"Date palms are sweet and delicious, with extremely high nutritional value. They are rich in vitamins and can also fight cancer. Eat a few of them every day, which is very good for your health." Sean said casually: "Don't worry, you can eat them directly after cleaning them."

."

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

Of course David had eaten dates. He smiled, picked up one and threw it into his mouth. Well, it was unexpectedly sweet.

Can it be good? Lao Sa gave me 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." Sean's face twitched, "I can't come to see the elders in my family if I have nothing to do."

"Heh." David chuckled, "Okay, if you say it's okay, then it'll be okay. You've got your heart set on it."

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

To David's expectation, Sean actually chatted for a while, then stood up and left.

Watching Sean walk to the door without saying anything, David couldn't sit still.

"You little bastard, are you really okay?"

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

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

"Huh?" Sean was stunned for a moment, then closed the door, his tears instantly closed, and he asked solemnly: "What's going on?"

“Do you know how much Capital Media’s TV network is worth?”

"5...700 million?" Sean asked tentatively.

The acquisition of Metropolis Media Company was made on the spur of the moment by Harvey because he mentioned the Murdoch incident. He never did any in-depth investigation. According to the price of the TV station that Lamb had inquired about before, 50 million, Sean doubled the price for the other party and then calculated it.

of this price.

He has been very busy recently, and he has no time to pay too much attention. Now when he heard old man David say this, he suddenly felt a little nervous.

"Ha, be braver." Old man David smiled.

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

Old man David smiled and said nothing.

"It can't be 1.4 billion, are you crazy?" Sean's eyes widened. His entire net worth is not even 700 million. You are telling me 1.4 billion.

Fuck, it’s a plant!

"The situation is still too small." Old 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 and cursed angrily: "Am I crazy? Why is it so expensive?"

"Ha, you don't think you're the only smart person in the world, do you?" Old man David felt great when he saw Sean was so angry, "Everyone can see the development prospects of TV networks. At present, there is no one in the United States that can cover

Cable TV networks in most parts of the country are currently squeezed by the three major wireless TV media, and the development of Capital Media Company has reached a bottleneck, so there are thoughts of introducing investors or selling it."

"In other words, even if it is acquired, the burden of the burden will be passed on, and the risk is very high."

"No, I don't have that much money. I admit, Murdoch does." Sean gritted his molars and asked with an angry look on his face.

"Oh, he's not like you, who always likes to eat alone." David said with a smile: "Murdoch is very courageous. Of course, he doesn't have so much money to make a wholly-owned acquisition. Murdoch will acquire part of the stock, and then

Use News Corp.'s stock to exchange with Capital Media Company, add loans, and finally complete the merger and acquisition."

"I don't think you understand everything, huh." David glared at Sean dissatisfied.

"You have never been exposed to TV network operations, and all the companies under your name have nothing to do with TV media. I don't like you rushing into an unfamiliar field."

"Your methods are of no use in the operation of TV stations. In the final analysis, TV network operations rely on content. Without content that attracts users, everything is empty talk."

Sean is currently doing well. David took this opportunity to persuade Sean and not to let him go astray.

However, old man David probably can’t persuade him...

The truth is in the hands of a few people.

Most people think that this business can be done and that it can make money, so they all do it. This business will definitely develop greatly, but they cannot 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 some possibilities to make a lot of money in a short period of time.

For example, the earliest Taobao and JD.com.

Therefore, those who achieve success in a short period of time are extremely confident and arrogant, 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 develop greatly.

But making money is very slow.

This is a long-term investment, and you need to fight your way out in the fierce competition.

Sean nodded. I admit that what David said is correct. Normally, we really shouldn’t acquire any TV networks.

What kind of content does a person who made his fortune from one shot after another do...

What's the difference between this and a cook trying to become a general?

But he can really make good content!

However, before this thing was made, there was really no way to explain it, nor could it be explained, and no one believed it.

Peter Chernin only believed in his own abilities, believed in the protection that Sean could provide, and believed in Rockefeller's financial resources.

As for Sean, well, as the boss, providing financial and moral support is enough!

"Thank you, Fifth Grandpa, but I still want to take over the TV network. I'm done with it. Even Jesus can't stop it!" Sean said decisively.

Old man David rolled his eyes, looking like I knew it.

"Okay, you can make the acquisition, but I've agreed in advance that the Rockefeller Foundation's think tank has a very low evaluation of your acquisition and is not optimistic about it. Therefore, the consortium will not support it, and there is nothing I can do about it."

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

"Then what if I really run a media group?" Sean had to ask clearly. He would not believe in the integrity of those large consortiums.

"Accidents are everywhere in this world, aren't they!" David laughed loudly: "Only such a world is interesting and exciting enough. If it keeps repeating itself, then what fun is there?"

Sean instantly understood that he was not from the Rockefeller Foundation. If he really let himself do it...

What a fucking surprise!

This is called a fucking surprise!

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

With the support of his family, there is no way that Sean will really lose everything.

Looking at Sean disappearing at the door, David sighed, not sure if this kid could listen to him.

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

As he ate, David felt something was wrong. He stared at the gift box for a long time, closed it, and looked back at it. He was dumbfounded.

An Iraqi emblem is printed on it.

Iraq?

After looking through it carefully, I found that this thing was not sold to outsiders at all. It was specially used to give away to guests in Iraq. Therefore, it was Sean who brought it back from Iraq.

There is a war going on over there at this time, so why is that kid going to Iraq?

Was he received by officials and given gifts?

What the hell...

The more David thought about it, the more he felt there was something going on.

"You little bastard isn't going to take a hand in the Iran-Iraq war, are you!?" David's eyes suddenly widened.

"I……"

"You brat, no wonder you gave me a gift. This is what happened. Let me take the blame!" David gritted his teeth angrily and cursed, grabbing a date and biting it down hard.

After eating this bite of date palm, you won’t be able to excuse yourself and say you don’t know!

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

It’s not the first time!

This fucking guy is a born bad guy...

After cursing a few words, old man 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 if Rockefeller dies and has no successor, he will not have a few bones left after being devoured 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 straight to Los Angeles.

I must, I must buy a private jet and sit in the first class cabin. Sean felt that he couldn't stretch his legs and feet, and he swore silently in his heart with some depression.

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

Take Peter to the study room 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 it too." There was no surprise on Peter Chernin's face.

After he submitted his resignation, there was still some time before he officially resigned. During this time, he used the resources at hand to launch an investigation into the capital media.

After all, he specializes in TV network business, so he investigated the plot and understood the valuation without spending much effort.

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

Every company has liabilities, and Metropolis Media is no exception. Adding in liabilities, the total is about 800 million.

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

Taken together, the total cost is about 1 billion.

Metropolis Media is not going bankrupt, but someone else is trying to acquire it. The other party will give up a well-run company and future earnings, and it will definitely sell at a premium.

Simply acquiring some shares will require a premium of at least 20-30%, let alone acquiring a company.

Folk saying is the so-called transfer fee. A profitable store with a cost of 1 million will cost 1 million to transfer.

What Peter Chernin is now worried about is whether Sean will give up the acquisition plan because he came to him in such a hurry.

To be honest, he was a little bit blaming Sean. Why on earth did you spend so much money to acquire a company without investigating it carefully?

This... is so bullshit.

Pete felt he had been cheated.

"It seems that we have to change the way we do acquisitions." Sean sat down and said with squinted eyes.

Upon hearing this, Peter breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why, I'm worried that I'll give up. How is that possible?" Sean chuckled, "It's just that I used to think of a wholly-owned acquisition, but now I can only change my approach."

"I got news from the family that Murdoch is planning to acquire part of the shares and use his company's shares to exchange and mortgage share loans to complete the operation."

When he heard that the family had received the news, Peter's eyes immediately lit up.

With the support of the Rockefeller Foundation, Pete will have nothing to fear.

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

This is not called cheating!

How can a businessman's business be a lie? This is called cheating. Your own misunderstanding has nothing to do with me.

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

"The reason I came to you is that after the acquisition of Capital Media Company, you will take over as the president, but for the time being, the media group will no longer be established, and Sean Films will operate independently."

"I will set up a wholly-owned subsidiary under Sean Pictures, just like your current job, specializing in the production of TV series and TV programs, and the production will be separated."

"After a period of development and the wholly-owned subsidiary has grown, Capital Media will be used to merge Sean Pictures to dilute the shares of other shareholders."

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

"It's a very good idea." Pete said with a smile. As for whether the production of TV programs and series can be successful and popular.

Pete is still confident, after all, this is what he does.

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

"Okay, I asked Lamb to contact the media in the capital. We can meet together later. You are my trump card." After saying that, Sean smiled and said: "They all thought I was just causing trouble for Murdoch. Hehe, see you.

When they get to you, they will know my determination."

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

…

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

It is impossible to speed up renovation and repair unless you add money.

The price was quickly negotiated, and the shipyard was very happy, as it liked these urgent projects. It was just a slight adjustment to the work plan, and some workers were transferred from other product lines without any additional cost.

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

The missile system originally planned to be installed was only four Harpoon anti-ship missiles. However, since it is going to the Persian Gulf, it will inevitably be threatened by the Iranian Air Force, so it is necessary to install a set of anti-aircraft missiles.

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

The Tatar air defense missile, codenamed Japanese M-24, is the first-generation ship-to-air missile system in the United States. It was developed in 1958 and entered service in 1961. It is an all-weather, medium-to-short-range, medium-to-low-altitude ship-to-air missile weapon system equipped by the navy. It is mainly

Equipped on U.S. Navy destroyers and frigates.

Iraq purchased Italian Wolf-class frigates, equipped with American Sea Sparrow anti-aircraft missiles.

Sparrows, from what you hear, can only eat small things like insects and grains. Sean doesn't like this kind of crap.

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

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

In other words, as long as you are five kilometers away, there is no need to be afraid.

After all, he is a little sparrow!

However, it is a bit difficult to fly a plane, but it will be continuously developed on this basis in the later period. It can be used as an anti-missile interception system on battleships. This little thing is still very useful against missiles that go straight in and out.

Look at ‘Tatars’ again!

The Tatars are known by Europeans as the whip of God, the king of cavalry and archery, and the invincible beings across the Eurasian continent.

Full-range semi-active radar homing guidance, maximum range of 19 kilometers, maximum shooting height of 12 kilometers, maximum speed of 2.5 times the speed of sound. The total missile length is 4.6 meters, the diameter of the missile is 0.34 meters, and the total missile mass is 680 kilograms.

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

Of course, the money is even better!!

Without the order from Ilac, Sean would have been reluctant to equip this thing for a while.

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

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

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

There is no technology in this thing. Even if I give you something, you won’t be able to install it.

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

Back and forth, he asked Sean for another 12 million, and he spent all the money he had just saved.

…

Sean rushed to Washington two days in advance of the meeting time scheduled with the media in the capital city.

Capital Media was first established in Texas, and later slowly merged with some cable TV stations in other states to finally form.

Therefore, its shareholders are located everywhere.

Peter Chernin has learned part of the news, and the shareholders of Metropolis Media want to take action.

"Hello, Mr. George."

"Hello, Mr. Sean."

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

It’s not like he really wants to buy Capital Media.

"Let me get straight to the point. I want to buy your shares in Capital Media." Sean looked into George's eyes and said, "You make an offer."

"Are you really going to buy Capital Media?" George looked at Sean in shock.

"Of course." Sean said with a smile.

George was caught off guard by Sean. He wanted to sell 5% of Capital Media Company's shares, and he had negotiated with Murdoch several times, but they could not reach an agreement on the price.

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

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

Both sides are still slowly grinding it out.

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 offered the price directly, not selling to anyone.

"I've always been very straightforward in doing business. If you agree, we can sign a contract at any time if you agree to a fixed price of 80 million!" Sean was even more straightforward and directly replied with a price.

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

Are all young people today so courageous?

80 million, just open your mouth and come!

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

"That's almost it. There's no need to worry about that little bit." Sean sat 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 yuan in business, this is the first time in his life that the old man has negotiated a business so quickly.

I really couldn't accept it 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 credit worth per pound? 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 credibility for 10 dollars.

Of course, it’s possible that you can’t buy it for any amount of money, but you can get it for a thousand dollars.

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 people are wise, rich people have conscience".

It does not mean that you will become kind if you are rich. A good person is a good person, no matter he is poor or rich, and a bad person is a bad person, no matter whether he is poor or rich.

Wealth cannot change a person's nature, wealth is only an amplifier of ability.

The reason why wealth leads to conscience is that when you are rich, the value of your reputation is higher, and you won't do anything for a small profit.

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

When they first get rich, capitalists can do whatever it takes, but after they get rich, they are willing to do charity just to gain fame.

Of course, fame can also make them more money.

After the verbal agreement is reached, the next step is to sign the contract. This is not urgent. What Sean means is to sign a fixed-term purchase agreement first.

Metropolis Media Company is a listed company, and share changes exceeding 5% must be announced.

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

10 million will take a while...

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

"By the way, I know that Mr. George is engaged in petroleum smelting, so I can use petroleum to pay for the remaining balance." Sean said with a smile.

"Ah?" George was stunned. Oil equals cash?

"This is not good." George shook his head. International oil prices are constantly changing and it is difficult to control prices. They sign supply contracts in advance for oil refining.

"Haha, what's wrong with this? Just sign a suitable price. I can give it a little lower than your original purchase price." Sean blinked, "Even if it's 1% lower, it's good, isn't it?"

This idea was Sean's impromptu idea. After the Iran-Iraq war broke out, due to Iran's blockade and control of the Persian Gulf, it was very difficult to sell Laos' oil and it was difficult for oil tankers to enter and exit.

Capitalists are definitely going to lower prices at this time.

Therefore, it is actually quite difficult to ask Laos to pay 50 million, but if Laos is allowed to exchange oil for US dollars...

Sean estimated that based on the international oil price, he could lower it by at least one-third, and at a good rate, he could lower the price by half!

That’s $100 million worth of oil!

George squinted at Sean for a long time. He couldn't figure out where Sean's oil came from. It couldn't be from Rockefeller.

Could it be 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, we finally agreed on a price that was 3% lower than the market price.

After negotiating two business deals at once, Sean was very happy and invited Old George to visit his Peace Hotel, and Old George agreed immediately.

After coming out of George Sr.'s house, Sean couldn't help but wonder, if George Sr. signed the contract and immediately became popular, would it be...

Suppress this bold idea.

Sean ordered Torre to drive towards Lao Bu's house.

When you come to Washington, of course you have to visit Lao Bu Tou.

For Lao Sa's order, just to be on the safe side, it's better to consult Lao Bu to prevent any unexpected loopholes that might be taken advantage of.

We had made an appointment before coming, and Xiao Bu was waiting at the door to greet me. At this time, Lao Bu hadn't gotten off work yet.

Sean once again took out the dates packaged in gold-encrusted boxes. When walking towards Lao Sa, Sean asked for a lot of them.

Xiao Bu was shocked when he heard that Sean was going to Yilang with a battleship.

You really succeeded in this military outsourcing matter!

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

After listening to the discussion about cooperation between Sean and Iraq, Lao Bu frowned and thought for a long time, "There is no problem, but we can't conflict with Yilan."

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

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

"Ilan is holding hostages of our Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the mid-term elections are approaching. There will be conflicts at this time, which will be very, very troublesome." Lao Bu said solemnly.

"Okay, I get it." Sean nodded.

Sean nodded, and Old Bu suddenly showed a smile, "If you do really well this time, maybe you will have a good opportunity."

"Ah, what opportunity!" Sean asked in confusion.

Old Bu smiled and shook his head, "We'll talk about this later. I can't say right now. If you really need it, it will be a very, very good opportunity for your career."

Sean nodded in understanding, but kept complaining in his heart, damn, I hate these old Riddlers the most.

Those who engage in politics are all very talkative.
