    The key reason why Li Mingbao was able to put forward such outrageous conditions is that in a sense, his interests are consistent with those of Twentieth Century Fox. They both want or are forced to want to join News Corporation.  And within News Corporation, it's not like there's a very united atmosphere.  In fact, in any very large group, their interests are not consistent. Even in large family businesses, they are still fighting for power, let alone such large groups that stick together for warmth. If they don't fight, it is simply  joke.  Since we are going to fight, we must ensure that our own interests will not cause problems within the group. How can we avoid problems?  One is to let your company have considerable energy within the group. Twentieth Century Fox is not lacking in this. They are News Corporation's first partner in North America, and they are also the only one that News Corporation can obtain in North America.  The group that took action, so they have an inherent advantage in this regard. Even after joining News Corporation, their 20th Century Fox Company also has great autonomy. They do not obey News Corporation in everything, but they only  In terms of direction, we must maintain consistent interests with News Corporation.  The second point is that they need to have enough shares in News Corporation. This sufficient share does not mean that they can obtain Murdoch's status. Regarding this point, John has never thought about it. If they can really  If the Murdoch family is replaced, then it will not be News Corporation that annexes Twentieth Century Fox, but Twentieth Century Fox that annexes News Corporation. This is obviously impossible.  They can maintain consistency with the Murdoch family, but that doesn't mean they don't need shares within the group. If they are at a significant disadvantage in terms of shares, Twentieth Century Fox's life will not be easy within the group.  .  And John couldn¡¯t win over the original vested interests. They were equivalent to the ancient nobles and had their own rules of conduct, while John was equivalent to the upstart. When he entered this industry, he would inevitably be squeezed out at the beginning.  Under such circumstances, being able to bring Li Mingbao in is definitely good news for them.  This is the real reason why John acquiesces to Li Mingbao embezzling the interests of 20th Century Fox.  But embezzlement is embezzlement, and at least some logical issues need to be paid attention to. If 20th Century Fox makes too many concessions to Li Mingbao in this aspect, it is obvious that there is something fishy. Murdoch cannot see it, and then he is really a fool.  So in this aspect, Li Mingbao can at most have a 50-50 split with 20th Century Fox. This is because Li Mingbao's program will be very successful, and the creativity and patents of the program are all in Li Mingbao's hands.  If Li Mingbao cooperates with this company, he will not be able to take the initiative at all. John can give 82% of the share, which is already quite a favor to Li Mingbao, and he must also limit some harsh terms.  Otherwise, this transaction is a clear loss.  At this time, Li Mingbao also understood what John meant. For such a share plan, he theoretically accepted it.  After all, he is now equivalent to taking advantage of the fire. If he does not grasp the situation properly, the ultimate loss will be the interests of both parties.  "Fifty-fifty makes fifty-fifty. Anyway, our interests are actually the same. We must make greater benefits in the shortest possible time. Only in this way can we squeeze out more from News Corporation."  More resources. Murdoch has great ambitions and has a rich background. If he can enter this express train, it will also be a good choice for us once Twentieth Century Fox enters News Corporation.  Then it is equivalent to Murdoch having a pivotal position in the entire European and American news industry, and it will be much easier for us people to enter Europe." Li Mingbao nodded.  "So now, do you still want to buy a TV station? And will your DreamWorks also join News Corporation?" John asked at this time.  "Buy a TV station? Under the current circumstances, what TV station should I buy? With a giant like Murdoch entering this market, it means that the Hollywood market will undergo fundamental changes in the future, and the people on Wall Street will not be satisfied in the future.  What they want to do now is to control the giant companies directly through remote control. In this way, the entire North American entertainment market will basically enter the era of hegemony. No company is backed by a large group or consortium.  , I¡¯m afraid their life will not be easy. It¡¯s probably not that easy for people who want to be in independent films or TV stations. Under such circumstances, I naturally wouldn¡¯t want to be cannon fodder, otherwise I wouldn¡¯t think about it.  I want to cooperate with 20th Century Fox. As for DreamWorks, I think it would be better not to join News Corporation, which would be relatively free. But I think the shares of DreamWorks will be sold when necessary.Part of it is given to people who can bring more benefits to DreamWorks, like you, John.  If you are interested, at a certain time, I may be able to sell you some shares.  "Li Mingbao looked at John with a smile. Hearing that Li Mingbao had the idea of ??selling DreamWorks, John asked with interest: "Is it just selling some shares?  Instead of selling them all?  I remember that your previous plan was to sell all your shares in DreamWorks. Why have you changed your mind now?  " John's question made Li Mingbao reply with a wry smile: "It's not because of the damn News Corporation. If they weren't so ambitious about acquiring your 20th Century Fox company, I wouldn't have such an idea.  The characteristics of News Corporation dictate that they will not invest in movies. They will invest too much. If they can maintain the status quo, it is already very good.  Originally, my DreamWorks was planned to be sold to you, Twentieth Century Fox.  But you are all being acquired now, so selling to you is out of the question.  In addition, Hollywood will enter a stage of competition for hegemony in the future. It will be difficult for a small fish like our DreamWorks to survive in such a situation.  Even if you want to sell it, you can't get a good price.  In this case, I might as well bring you John to our DreamWorks, so that you can provide more protection to our DreamWorks and prevent the value of DreamWorks from losing too much.  " "You all know that life will not be easy in two years, so why do I have to buy your DreamWorks at a high price?  Wouldn¡¯t it be better for me to buy it at a lower price?  "John was very satisfied with Li Mingbao's answer, but he did not hide his desire to live more. "Indeed, buying at a low price is a good thing for you, John, because it will save money.  own funds.  But if you really do that, the DreamWorks you bought will be nothing more than an empty shell.  The rise of DreamWorks is not due to other reasons, but because of my scheduling. At the very beginning, I had a very clear central idea in developing DreamWorks, and the current achievements of DreamWorks also illustrate my  The vision is not wrong.  Although DreamWorks is not an empty shell now, it still has so many fixed assets.  But in fact, DreamWorks' innovative capabilities have always been in my hands.  Without my creativity and planning, the value of DreamWorks would have dropped by more than half.  It will basically be difficult to develop rapidly in the future.  You also know that film companies and television companies are actually two different concepts. The emphasis that television companies place on creativity is completely different from that of film companies.  For the development of a film company, only by continuously producing good movies can it develop. Movies are the most fundamental thing.  For me, movie creativity is not a big problem. I can play Hong Kong movies well, and I can also play Hollywood movies well.  So if you really want to make more money in DreamWorks, there is only one prerequisite, and that is to cooperate with me.  And when you cooperate with me, you can't buy DreamWorks at a low price, because then I won't make any money.  Without my DreamWorks, the prospects would not be that good. Even if it is supported by old films, there is still a big gap between DreamWorks' film library and those of large film companies. After all, it has only been established for two years.  In this case, John, are you willing to have a piece of trash?  Or do you want a film company with a bright future?  "Li Mingbao looked at John and asked. "These words of Li Mingbao are definitely not nonsense. John also knows Li Mingbao's ability, so he originally wanted to buy DreamWorks. A big reason was because of Li Mingbao's brain. Without Li Mingbao's brain,  The value of DreamWorks is only that. With 20th Century Fox, it is difficult for John to be interested in other film companies. ¡°If that¡¯s the case, I think it¡¯s in line with me for you to be the helmsman of DreamWorks.  of interests.  After 20th Century Fox merges with News Corporation, I may transfer my main business to DreamWorks if necessary. Of course, that requires you to sell me enough shares.  "John promised Li Mingbao. "Of course, if you join, John, it will definitely be a good thing for DreamWorks.  Even if necessary, we can pull up Murdoch alone. After all, no one will think that they have too much money.  The rate of return from movies is much higher than the rate of return from the newspaper industry.  If we can expand the DreamWorks industry, it will be beneficial to us, and we may not even be able to become a new giant company.  "Hearing John's answer, Li Mingbao agreed with a smile. "Perhaps before coming to the United States, Li Mingbao was a person who liked to eat alone. Especially when he was in Hong Kong, although he seemed to be very generous, in fact he  When he first started his business, there was definitely a lot of eating alone. Even later, when Li Mingbao had the opportunity to eat alone, he would not let go of such an opportunity, just like cooperating with CCTV to do advertising. If it really succeeds, Li Mingbao  No plan??Share the benefits with others.  But after John suddenly said that News Corporation was going to acquire 20th Century Fox, Li Mingbao discovered that eating alone is not possible everywhere, especially here in the United States. People with small arms and legs like him want to  If you eat alone, the only outcome is to be squeezed out by others.
