"Ok."
Wenrou Township is the Tomb of Heroes. His exhaustion and fighting spirit faded temporarily with Amy’s greeting, "Are everything packed? We will return to Chicago tomorrow morning."
"Not yet!" Amy gave him a kiss, and hurriedly returned to his luggage.
"Oh, by the way, last time I went to Shakira and asked her to help find oil paintings. I heard that she has a new relationship. Her boyfriend is the son of the chief of Argentina. He looks very handsome, age and family background. …In short, she matches her face. She is likely to be the next Madame Veron..."
Amy was busy chatting lively.
"Oh?"
Song Ya, who had just sat down, narrowed the smile on her face. After a few seconds, she said in a daze and melancholy: "That's pretty good... But Mrs. Belon seems to have passed away in her thirties? Anyway, your analogy is very wrong. ."
"Really? But it seems that many of her Latin friends use this analogy. There should be no problem in their culture, right?"
"Ok…"
At this time, the mobile phone in his pocket rang, and Song Ya just didn't want to continue the topic.
"Liitman just told me..."
Sloan said on the phone, "He said that Viacom's people approached him and tried to test the possibility of acquiring the two ACE TV stations..."
Chicago 1990 Chapter 1378: Save your tears for tomorrow
"Isn't Viacom chasing BET!?"
Song Ya was shocked. This shows that due to the shrinking wealth, his own business has begun to be watched by predators from all walks of life. Maybe Viacom's view of the rising period and the ACE station are just the tip of the iceberg.
If Litman didn't inform Sloan, I'm afraid he would still be kept in the dark.
Litman and the Abelsons, the founders of the OpenDiary website, both complained to the outside world after they clashed with them last time. In addition, Litman is an old media person. Perhaps this is what Redstone picked him for. the reason.
Viacom just merged with CBS, one of the three oldest television networks last year, and they also own the media industry heavyweights such as Paramount, one of Hollywood’s top seven, television networks, audio-visual chain giant Blockbuster, and a large number of cinema chains. The company's boss, Lei Shidong, is like another media tycoon Murdoch. In recent years, his net worth has risen from three or four billion dollars to seven or eight billion dollars, and he has no loss in this stock market crash.
It is indeed a good time to hunt down the bottom, but according to intelligence, Redstone and Johnson, the owner of the black TV network BET, have seen the right eye. For the past two years, Viacom has been rumored to be a wholly-owned acquisition and ranked second in the number of subscribers of Mi Cable. BET around ten.
"It doesn't affect it. The Viacom Group is now extremely powerful. What does it mean to win two more TV stations? It can bring vitality to the old-fashioned CBSNews, and ACE can be seamlessly integrated into BET's black entertainment system..."
Sloan's analysis: "Johnson will definitely sell BET. He has no interest in continuing to manage the company. The only difference is the price. Redstone himself is a conservative and a good buyer, and the party likes it. "
"People like Redstone are beginning to take a look. He won't simply ask us for two TV stations... He probably has already done something, such as taking in the shares of our Littman Media."
Whether it’s acquiring Paramount, Blockbuster or CBS, Redstone has always been in a thrilling business battle. Song Ya knows the old fox’s methods very well and is absolutely fast, accurate, and good at playing strategic deception. For example, he used the acquisition of Blockbuster to reduce the alert of his opponent Barry Diller, and then killed a carbine and used Blockbuster to borrow money to take down Paramount. This is a very classic case.
"Don't worry? All of your companies cross-hold 42% of Littman Media. You personally spent money to recover some of the stocks from the open market when you last protected the market. Whoever wants malicious mergers and acquisitions Hit the iron plate."
Sloan didn't think it was a big threat. "Now I actually hope that someone is quietly taking in Litman Media's stock. That's a good thing..."
"Ok."
She said that Song Ya’s worries were slightly relieved, "Lei Shidong is very patient. He should find a way to enter the board of directors first, observe or make troubles at close range, and then wait for opportunities... I had a good relationship with him, don’t Those who come and go have become enemies again."
"In short, this weekend we will play the public opinion war more beautifully. First, we will solve all kinds of speculations about you from the outside world, and by the way, put an end to the coveting of the capital predators on your various industries..." Sloan said.
"Alright alright."
Song Ya hung up. Now its own business has developed into the deep water area. Because the blog site requires low technology, OpenDiary is facing many competitors, many of which are backed by big Internet companies.
The development momentum of the news channel and the ACE entertainment integrated channel have also begun to threaten big companies. There are not a few 20-hour professional news channels in the whole rice field. The ratings of ACE’s street dance competition have ranked in the forefront of the variety show category.
Litman Press controls the middle school **** education film market in the early ten states, and the remaining markets are all large publishing groups that are far larger than Litman.
A+ Entertainment is already one of the top students in Hollywood's second-tier film companies, except for DreamWorks, and it is also fighting with Murdoch's Fox Pictures in a protracted Titanic income-sharing lawsuit.
Metropolitan Distribution Company is also entering the operating track under the money, record distribution, this is the forbidden area of the world's five major record companies...
There are only a few major competitors in the 3D display chip market of 3DFX, and the Sega camp that 3DFX has joined has become more and more difficult with the conquest of Sony’s PS2 console.
Other traditional businesses such as wine and apparel have rivals in their respective fields. Only in the incremental market of the Internet boom, there are no mortal enemies, but when the stock market crash occurs, everyone's life is difficult, and internal competition will gradually become fierce.
Peter is still dragging his feet!
‘Hey! ’
headache! Song Ya lay on the sofa and gave a light tusk. It was so distressed that the stall was too open. People's energy is always limited. Originally, he had planned to use the operation of selling the wine business to the French to shrink strategically, but The stock market crash happened suddenly. The media, Internet, and technology venture capital businesses that were supposed to be the main business seemed unreliable...
It is still the weakness of Apocalypse. Even if Apocalypse teaches that a certain company can live in the future, it will only live into the future. What level of market value can it reach? It is difficult to say, for example, YAHOO, this week has fallen from a high of 130 billion less than half.
"In a bad mood?" Amy snuggled up tenderly when she saw this scene.
"Why is it so good?" Song Ya hugged her casually.
"Oh right..." Amy felt distressed when she saw him. She knew that men had lost a lot of money, so she took out a piece of colored coated paper that looked like a ticket. "Go to relax at night?"
"what is this?"
Song Ya took it and took a look, "Don't go."
