    So John's idea was completely a bad idea for Li Mingbao.  If he really wants to make a profit in this market and leave, there is no need to start in the film industry. Although this industry has a high rate of return, compared with other industries, what does this little money count?  After working hard to make more than a dozen movies, the maximum increase in funds was over one billion US dollars.  He really wants to make a fortune. Based on the whiteness in his mind, wouldn't it be easier and more secretive to start trading in the stock market? Why should he be in such limelight? He is just making himself uncomfortable.  Hearing Li Mingbao's words, John continued to be puzzled: "How can you cause trouble? It's only a year or two in the North American market. How can you efficiently occupy the North American market for many years? That would really cause trouble for yourself. But  If it only takes a year or two, it won't be a big problem for you. Even if you make so many movies in a short period of time, your influence in the United States will increase a lot.  You can rely on your influence to negotiate directly with other giant companies, and then carve up some appropriate shares, so that other giant companies will recognize your status in Hollywood. In this way, not only will you not get into trouble, but you may actually get into trouble.  Develop your company to a very high level. As long as you are not as crazy as you are now, others will not target you. At worst, we at 20th Century Fox will put more pressure on you, and then you will make money later.  That's it. You know, such opportunities are rare in Hollywood. I want to sell Twentieth Century Fox, so I don't care about the short-term turmoil. If this time period passes, how can that guy Murdoch be possible?  "Carry the risk for you?" Although John wants to use Li Mingbao as his gun, and then let his stock price of 20th Century Fox be higher in price.  But it has to be said that John also showed his sincerity. At least the condition that 20th Century Fox provided DreamWorks with shelter was definitely a good thing for DreamWorks.  Not to mention that 20th Century Fox is in front of him to prevent disasters, even if Li Mingbao earns one billion US dollars, it will not be a big problem. As long as he has good movies, it is really easy to make money. For others,  It is said that good movies are difficult to obtain, but for Li Mingbao, good movies are nothing new. With thirty years of accumulation, he can produce movies from any country.  And the price paid may not be high. Although movies require investment to have a good box office, even if Li Mingbao does not invest in movies with hundreds of millions of dollars, investing in small-cost movies with big box office is enough for him to live.  It would not be too difficult for Li Mingbao to produce more than a dozen movies like this and start production at the same time.  Li Mingbao will definitely be able to get this money.  And even without the shelter of 20th Century Fox, DreamWorks, which has produced so many good movies, will have a substantial improvement in its strength in Hollywood. When the time comes, it will be sold, let alone one billion US dollars.  , even if it is two billion US dollars, there will be many people who want to buy it. At that time, as long as John is used as the middleman, others want to use special means, it will not work, and asking John at that time will not work for Li Mingbao.  Difficult, after all, he had done a lot for John. It was impossible for John not to sell such a favor.  The profits above are at least three billion US dollars. It can be said that the profits are huge and the returns are astonishing. Even after excluding the costs, Li Mingbao has at least a net income of more than two billion US dollars.  With such conditions, it can definitely be considered a good choice for Li Mingbao.  But if the shell of DreamWorks is thrown away like this, Li Mingbao feels it would be a pity.  After all, it is not difficult for him to make billions of dollars.  But it is not that easy to enter Hollywood with such good conditions.  It is not easy for DreamWorks to develop in a legendary way. As long as you make money honestly, you will have your own fixed position in Hollywood sooner or later. Although it will take a long time to do so, and there will be countless people in the middle.  Trouble is waiting for him. Even Li Mingbao came to the United States this time to seek protection measures for DreamWorks. This shows that DreamWorks is not truly stable.  But no matter what, the foundation of DreamWorks is really good.  Even if Li Mingbao starts a new business now, it will be very difficult to replicate the DreamWorks model.  He has no shortage of movies, but the key lies in his lack of protection.  If other giants in Hollywood were to guard Li Mingbao like a jackal, it would not be that simple to enter Hollywood in the future.  To put it simply, what Li Mingbao really lacks now is not funds, but a foundation, and DreamWorks happens to be such a suitable foundation.  No one knows the development of Hollywood better than him. If you think about the annual output value of tens of billions of dollars, this was still in the 1990s, and you will know how huge the profits are.  Of course it is impossible for him to occupy a large space inside.?, but even some profits are enough for him.  Compared with the industry in Hong Kong, the industry here has more achievements. If it is just a place to brush funds, giving up easily will be a loss.  Especially if John gives up recklessly like that, it is like picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons. It is a great harm to Li Mingbao's long-term interests.  In a short period of time, Li Mingbao calculated the gains and losses, so he firmly said to John: "John, your approach is not as good as it seems on the surface. Murdoch  He will pay his own price for the premium, but this price may not be completely unlimited. If it exceeds this limit, Murdoch will never pay more for the extra superficial benefits. He is a shrewd person.  A businessman, not an idiot. If the price is too high, he would definitely rather negotiate with another giant company than with Twentieth Century Fox, whose actual benefits are not that big.  Some of the gains outweigh the losses. At that time, the biggest possibility is that if you can't sell 20th Century Fox, I will also be under more pressure. Simply using the movie box office to determine the stock price is what ordinary investors do, not just one person.  Things that capitalists would do. Things that are too frivolous are not so solid. In my opinion, cooperation on movies is not that desirable. " Hearing Li Mingbao's words, John was still a little excited, but he was a little excited.  The child calmed down.  To be honest, John is not as happy about this acquisition as he seems on the surface. After all, as the boss of 20th Century Fox, he is a little aggrieved to be acquired by another group rashly.  He is the boss of Twentieth Century Fox, but when it comes to News Corporation, he cannot be the one who calls the shots.  The price was too much for John to refuse.  But in other ways, John didn't mind causing trouble for Murdoch.  This is the real reason why John wanted to cooperate with Li Mingbao after hearing that he said that the quality of his movies was stable.  Money is one aspect, no one will dislike having more money, but on the other hand, we also need to see how Murdoch will deal with such a situation.  To put it bluntly, John is not 100% willing to let News Corp. take a stake.  But after hearing what Li Mingbao said, John also understood that such a plan would be difficult to pass, and doing so would be a double-edged sword for John.  There is a certain possibility of obtaining additional benefits, but it is more likely that 20th Century Fox and News Corporation will break up.  But if such a situation really happens, John will dig a hole and bury himself in it.  Moreover, News Corporation has other options besides Twentieth Century Fox. If it acquires another company, it would not be a good thing for Twentieth Century Fox.  Murdoch, who suffered a loss from Twentieth Century Fox, would not take revenge without reason.  If Twentieth Century Fox were to attack the news, John would not have much ability to resist. He was not a professional in this area, so the possibility of suffering a loss would be too great.  "It seems that we have to let the cooperation matter go. After all, that guy Murdoch is not easy to mess with." John said helplessly. There was no other way. The situation was stronger than others. Since News Corporation had the strength to acquire him for twenty  Century Fox, if he resists the interests, he will suffer the consequences in the end.  It is not uncommon for capitalists to have tempers, but if their temper affects their business, such capitalists are not qualified to become big.  Obviously, John was not that impulsive person, so John killed such ideas himself in order not to cause trouble for himself.  Hearing John¡¯s words, Li Mingbao actually sighed in his heart.  To be honest, John's previous proposal really tempted him.  But now, making money is no longer Li Mingbao's main idea. What he wants is more power, just like in Hong Kong.  So simply taking a sum of money is not that attractive to Li Mingbao now.  At the beginning, Li Mingbao would definitely choose to ask for the money. After all, when life is not rich, talking about power is a bit nonsense.  Cooperation on the film is no longer possible. Both Li Mingbao and John know the consequences of doing so.  But Li Mingbao came to the United States before, just to pay attention to the TV station, and to get all the programs and so on.  But now, when both John and himself were disappointed, Li Mingbao suddenly turned his attention to the television industry.  When he thought of the TV station, he thought of the endless stream of programs in his mind, and when he thought of the programs, and then of the current 20th Century Fox Company, Li Mingbao suddenly discovered that he seemed to have the possibility of cooperating with John, and this possibility  Sex is still huge.  ¡°John, I want to ask you a question, Murdoch.Which business is the most important to 20th Century Fox?  Is it a TV station business?  "Li Mingbao asked. Li Mingbao's sudden question made John a little strange, but he still said clearly: "Of course it is the business of the TV station. After all, his old line of work is in the news, and the TV station is a part of the news.  Not a bad carrier.  "
