    "So, Mr. Li, are you also interested in News Corporation?" John asked with an inexplicable meaning.  "In the past, I might not be interested in News Corporation. After all, I have no connection with him at all, and my career has no intersection with his. Such a behemoth may be swallowed up by him at any time, so I  I would rather stay away from them and not let them take notice. But the situation is different now. Now that 20th Century Fox has reached an agreement with them, my relationship with them is much closer.  There is only one DreamWorks at its foundation, and the backer of DreamWorks is your company, 20th Century Fox. If there is a repeat on your side in the future, my DreamWorks will be in danger. Without your help, my DreamWorks will be nothing.  Fatty. For my own industry, I must find a qualified backer, and News Corporation is my only choice. After all, I am not familiar with other giant companies, and those guys may not like me.  This job-stealer, my relationship with you is really too close. In order to create more value for my company, I have no other choice. If I can take this opportunity to enter News Corporation, it will be a big deal for me.  "It's a good thing," Li Mingbao said with emotion.  Originally, his relationship with Twentieth Century Fox could barely maintain some balance. Although Twentieth Century Fox also coveted DreamWorks, with the capital of Twentieth Century Fox at this time, it wanted to completely swallow up DreamWorks.  Getting off DreamWorks is not that easy.  Because the foundation of DreamWorks was laid when Twentieth Century Fox didn't really care.  At that time, Li Mingbao was relying on niche movies such as horror movies, and he avoided everyone's attention by being eccentric. But when everyone started to pay attention to it, DreamWorks' industry was considered solid, even if 20th Century Fox had other ideas.  , if they don¡¯t pay a big price, they won¡¯t be able to get DreamWorks. That¡¯s why the relationship between Twentieth Century Fox and DreamWorks is quite subtle. Twentieth Century Fox provides certain protection to DreamWorks.  , and then DreamWorks will give 20th Century Fox some benefits in some aspects to achieve a win-win goal, and then maintain a balance, no one can do anything to anyone, and everyone can be harmonious.  Originally, Li Mingbao planned to bully the customers. After settling the affairs in Hong Kong and getting on the right track, he started to work hard at DreamWorks, using movies as cannons to expand his assets in a very short period of time, and then  Showdown with Twentieth Century Fox.  At that time, whether it is to acquire them or merge with 20th Century Fox, it will be a good thing for Li Mingbao, because it means that he can mobilize some resources of 20th Century Fox, and it will not be difficult to even take over in the future.  Son.  But before Li Mingbao could make any more moves, 20th Century Fox was spotted by that guy Murdoch.  His DreamWorks can guarantee a certain balance with Twentieth Century Fox, but against a behemoth like News Corporation, even if Li Mingbao is crazy, he knows that he is no match for DreamWorks, which can make Twentieth Century Fox lose its teeth.  In News Corporation, it can only be eaten as a meal. The two parties are not on the same level at all.  Under such circumstances, Li Mingbao¡¯s choice is really not that big.  Either completely cut off all ties with 20th Century Fox and start working on your own.  Or just like what Li Mingbao chooses now, since he can't resist, he can only accept it and directly enter News Corporation. Not only does he not have to face the harsh environment like fighting alone, but he can also use more resources of News Corporation.  If it were still the 1970s, Li Mingbao might not be able to go it alone and rely on his own resources to directly send DreamWorks to the position of a giant.  But now we are already in the 1980s, and we are still in an era when Wall Street and foreign capital giants are rushing into Hollywood.  This era is a gluttonous feast for those giants. Even the giants in Hollywood cannot resist the invasion of capital. From top to bottom, you don¡¯t want to have a safe place.  Even the giant companies cannot resist the power of capital. Li Mingbao is not stupid and understands that there is no point in fighting alone. If he does not cooperate, he will only be suppressed.  Rather than wasting DreamWorks as a chess piece and letting its value be completely unfulfilled, it is better to find a qualified backer, go directly inside, and then make a living with those large capitals. Although it is a little weaker, it is still a line after all.  way out.  If after eating Japanese flesh and blood in 1985, Li Mingbao wouldn't have to worry so much. With his own capital, he could be a Tyrannosaurus Rex like News Corporation. But the problem is that there is not enough time. Even if he can achieve financial success in Hong Kong by the end of this year  Earn a fortune, and that money may be pretty good in Hong Kong, but here in Hollywood, it's not enough.  So even if Li Ming?Now that I have the ambition of a Tyrannosaurus rex, I can only be a sheep.  John didn't know the tangle in Li Mingbao's heart. After hearing Li Mingbao's answer, John finally understood Li Mingbao's true thoughts. Li Mingbao didn't really want to join News Corporation, nor did he want to argue with 20th Century Fox.  , doing so is just the most basic self-protection.  John was quite familiar with the prospects of DreamWorks. He also knew that it might not take more than a few years. As long as Twentieth Century Fox still supports DreamWorks as it does now, DreamWorks will be able to cross-sharehold with Twentieth Century Fox in the future.  Things like stocks are not that difficult.  But just when it was booming, suddenly a Tyrannosaurus Rex took a fancy to this place. If Li Mingbao didn't want the things he worked so hard to get to sell at a poor price in the end, he only had this option. To put it bluntly, Li Mingbao now  His actions were completely dragged down by Twentieth Century Fox.  And John also knows that many film companies like DreamWorks that rely on 20th Century Fox will make such a choice in the future, so Li Mingbao's approach is not an exception, but a necessity.  Who told them, the bosses of Twentieth Century Fox, that they couldn't save their own industry?  Those who follow them will definitely have a choice.  At this moment, John wondered whether the actions of his group were a little thoughtless. After all, 20th Century Fox is one of the giants in Hollywood, and the number of companies surrounding them is not a small number.  All in all, Twentieth Century Fox's strength is quite strong, otherwise it would not be targeted by predators like Murdoch.  But as soon as this thought arose, John himself extinguished it.  After all, these companies that are attached to Twentieth Century Fox can also be regarded as the power of Twentieth Century Fox.  But the ownership of these companies does not belong to them, and the proportion of these potential values ??in the company's calculations is actually quite small. This is also the most common practice in acquisitions.  Otherwise, why would so many emerging companies be willing to acquire those old companies?  I would rather have a slightly higher price and get the old company.  Isn't it just for these potential benefit values?  When you acquire an old company, you get not only the old company's own things, but also the connections and resources left behind by the old company. This is what is really important to the new companies.  If you put things that the old company couldn't bring into play into the new company, it would be completely different.  Based on the idea that a dead Taoist friend should not die a poor Taoist, John takes such things very lightly. As long as his own interests are not lost, everything is easy to talk about, including the suggestion made by Li Mingbao. John thinks it is a pretty good idea.  .  No matter how much Li Mingbao thinks about News Corporation, such cooperation is good news for 20th Century Fox.  If the profits of the TV stations within Twentieth Century Fox can be increased in a short period of time, News Corporation will also pay more when the time comes to sign the contract.  Overall, it's a good thing for their company.  "Mr. Li's idea is also a good thing for our company, but if the copyright is always in Mr. Li's hands, wouldn't the value of our 20th Century Fox company have a limited increase? Otherwise, Li  Sir, you set up a TV program production company, and then we jointly develop those programs and share the risks. In this way, News Corporation will not make an offer," John said to Li Mingbao.  "Joint development and shared risks, what about patent rights?" Li Mingbao asked a key question.  "As Mr. Li said, overseas patent rights belong to you, Mr. Li. We, Twentieth Century Fox, do not occupy the overseas market at all, but in the North American market, each of us owns half. This is only reasonable. At the same time, Li  Sir, your company's programs can only be cooperated with our 20th Century Fox TV stations. In North America, our 20th Century Fox has the exclusive right to distribute them." John set the conditions.  As for John's last request, it is actually quite necessary, because if Li Mingbao really has so many programs, he will not only sell them to 20th Century Fox, but also to other competitors, then 20th Century Fox will not  Aren't you at a disadvantage?  After all, Li Mingbao's program is not that famous at all, but if it can be sold at a good price at 20th Century Fox and the ratings are quite good, then 20th Century Fox will be equivalent to advertising Li Mingbao.  ¡°Originally, others may not be willing to take over the goods that Li Mingbao sells door to door, but with the precedent of 20th Century Fox, other companies will immediately understand the value of Li Mingbao¡¯s company¡¯s programs. In this way, in order to compete in the market, other companies willThe company will definitely compete with 20th Century Fox. In this way, Li Mingbao will take advantage of it.  John didn't want Li Mingbao to stand aside and watch the excitement, so he simply put restrictions on this aspect.
