Chapter 700: Redstone
"This is Tang En, may I ask who you are?"
After answering the phone, Dunn pretended to be a wolf with a big tail.
Lei Shidong was silent for a while, then he sighed deeply, and said weakly, "Tang En, stop."
Tang En pretended not to know, "What?"
"If you keep making trouble, something big will happen."
"Oh, you mean CBS, right?" Dunn suddenly realized that, he smiled, "Yeah, I didn't expect that there are so many **** in CBS."
Lei Shidong said: "Whether it's cbs or nbc, this decades-old company, just like Hollywood, has old systems and bad traditions that have accumulated for a long time, this time... it's a lesson, stop. Bar."
"Shut up?" Tang En raised his brows and said sternly: "Did you have any misunderstanding? This matter has nothing to do with me! Rumors stop at the wise, don't listen to the rumors outside."
Lei Shidong seemed to have guessed that Tang En would say so. Anyone with a little IQ would not admit to such a big event.
It's good to know each other well.
"I heard that you are buying and renting online streaming rights for video content in large quantities?"
"Oh yes."
The corners of Tang En's mouth curled up, revealing a bit of the pride of a winner.
This old guy, in the end is going to throw his son and admit defeat.
Aren't you pretty capable?
Hold on tighter?
Old, is old, the glory is no longer!
Even if you take a little blue pill, it is not as good as the endurance of a young man!
Splitting up Blockbuster, reorganizing Paramount, firing Camassin, adjusting management... It can be said that Redstone's series of adjustments to Viacom Group has a very good idea.
However, the reality is cruel!
Tang En has been on the road of feminism for several years. Is it useless? As soon as you make a move, you can swept out with lightning speed!
This is an angle that Redstone would never have imagined.
Defense is about zero!
How to fight?
The sooner you admit defeat, the smaller the loss.
If Redstone persists, he will end up vomiting blood sooner or later, and he will probably end up worse than Kirk Douglas.
"Viacom has a lot of high-quality film and television content resources. What do you like? Paramount's film and television library?" Lei Shidong is indeed a hero of a generation, full of courage.
Although he didn't apologize to Dunn outright or admit his mistake, his attitude was very sincere and his tone was very humble, completely missing the aggressive demeanor of the past.
This feeling, very good!
Tang En felt warm in his heart, very comfortable, and said with a smile: "Paramount's video library is of course good, the "Godfather" trilogy is too classic. TV shows from TV stations such as Black Entertainment are also very interested.”
Lei Shidong's heart was "squeaky" all of a sudden.
This Tang En, it really is a lion's big mouth!
This is to capture all the film and television programs under Viacom!
Tang En was also afraid of being in a hurry, so he took care of the old tycoon's face, and quickly added, "Of course, everything is at the market price."
"25-year lease?"
"no problem."
"price?"
"$30 million, pack!"
Redstone frowned. He had already inquired about Tang En's acquisition and lease of streaming media rights in Hollywood. The price...was too low.
Warner Bros. movie library, rental fee is $25 million a year!
Although Paramount's film library is not as large as that of Warner Bros., Tang En is going to pack all the film and television content of Viacom this time. This amount... is more than ten times that of Warner Bros.!
This time, Dunn would not give in, and said lightly: "In my opinion, the only real valuable products are Paramount movies, those TV shows... they are equivalent to gifts. Of course, if you are willing to accept the purchase In the form of breaking, the price can be higher.”
Redstone almost choked to death.
buyout?
Anyone with a little IQ would not agree with this approach.
If it weren't for the fact that the general understanding of the Internet is still far from enough, and it is uncertain when the online video business will really rise, even a long-term lease contract of 25 years would not exist.
Dunn copied the bottom line of the times.
Redstone's knowledge of the Internet is almost zero, and he can't imagine that after the 25-year period expires... The streaming video business will completely destroy the cable TV business.
Whether Viacom or Time Warner, Hollywood film and television giants including Twentieth Century Fox, Sony Entertainment, and Disney would never have imagined it.
Their greed for petty gain is the act of financing the enemy, and it is financing the infinite expansion of the strength of the competitor!
"Since that's the case, the cbs thing will end here, right?"
Redstone's tone has shown that he accepted Dunn's proposal.
Tang En said with a smile: "cbs? What's the matter? I'll look back and investigate, it's too outrageous. Although cbs is in New York, it is also a part of the film and television entertainment industry. I will definitely come forward to coordinate this kind of thing. Do not worry!"
Lei Shidong breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "That's it."
His tone was a little desolate, and his expression was a little lonely, as if at the moment when the deal was concluded, the whole person was ten years old.
If you lose, you will lose after all!
Back then, Lei Shidong, who cracked the Japanese army's code and shocked the entire army, lost to a young man younger than his grandson in his later years.
In the end is the afterlife terrible?
Or is he really old?
Lei Shidong felt that he had never been so down in his life.
This is begging!
Shame!
"Hey, don't worry, I still have something to do!" Tang En finally seized this opportunity, so he didn't want to let it go easily.
"you say."
Redstone seems to have broken the jar and resigned.
Tang En said with a smile on his face: "We talked about MGM during the last call. After MGM is delisted, I do plan to close this label. At that time... I'm afraid there will be a lot of old antiques. I will make irresponsible remarks and affect my reputation."
In Lei Shidong's heart, this is a bitterness!
Last time, he also planned to take advantage of this incident to threaten Tang En and make him back off and stop stalking Besta.
How long has it been since?
The counterattack is coming!
The condom you put on yourself, you have to drill in it yourself!
Lei Shidong took a deep breath, gritted his teeth with great perseverance, and said in a low voice, "I know, then... I will contact some old friends to help you talk."
Anyway, the old face is lost.
It doesn't matter if your head is lower.
Tang En said with a satisfied smile, "Thank you so much, haha, Mr. Redstone, I heard you were hospitalized? I wish you a speedy recovery! Hey, Viacom Group, I can't live without you!"
Redstone's chest was stuffy.
It was as if there was a feeling of being hospitalized for another month.
This bastard!
...
December 2, Philadelphia.
The Westin hotel across from Comcast headquarters.
Comcast's CEO Brian Roberts, President Steve Burke, CFO Larry Smith, and six other advisors were brought together to make important decisions.
Comcast plans to meet with Wall Street analysts next Wednesday, when it must disclose its interest in Viacom.
That's right, Dunn is amazing!
The share price of Viacom was suppressed to the point of breathlessness.
Even yesterday, Les Moonves, the chairman and CEO of cbs, had officially resigned, wanting to spin off the sexual assault scandal from Viacom Group.
However, Viacom, which has continued to turmoil, has still not been able to gain market recognition.
This is the perfect opportunity for a major acquisition!
"If this leaked out, it would be breaking news!" said one investment banker.
"I understand," Brian Roberts replied. "I think it's a good thing."
Steve Burke said earnestly: "The time has come. Schwarzenegger has become the governor of California. It is conceivable that in the next few years, Hollywood will usher in continuous policy advantages and performance growth. Comcast We must seize the opportunity to enter the content industry of film and television entertainment.”
Brian Roberts nodded in approval, "I have to call Mr. Redstone."
He felt that he needed to talk to Redstone on the phone.
In particular, he believes that Comcast's actions this time are goodwill, friendly, and mutual assistance, which can benefit both parties.
How old is Redstone?
Having just been taught a hard lesson by a child in his twenties, his anger must have diminished.
Maybe... I've already given up my mind.
Selling Viacom to Comcast may be Redstone's most respectable and honorable way to retire.
Worried about the poor quality of cellphone calls in the enclosed space~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and Brian Roberts wanted to talk privately, he walked out of the conference room and used a nearby payphone.
Brian Roberts entered the phone booth and dialed Redstone's office.
Lei Shidong has been discharged from the hospital and happened to be there.
In less than two minutes, the call ended.
Brian Roberts walked out of the phone booth, shaking his head.
"How about it?"
Back in the conference room, everyone looked at him expectantly.
Brian Roberts hesitated for a moment, then shook his head bitterly and said, "He said three words in total."
"what?"
"In the first sentence, I asked Viacom if it would sell, and he said he was not interested and would not accept any offer. In the second sentence, I said it would be explosive news, at least it would make Viacom's share price significantly higher. L, he said Viacom doesn't want to be in the public eye any more anytime soon."
"What about the third sentence?"
Everyone is very curious.
How easy is it to negotiate an acquisition? As long as Redstone's words are not dead, everything is still possible.
Brian Roberts looked rather embarrassed and said bitterly: "In the third sentence, I asked if it was possible for the two companies to join forces, and he only replied with two words."
"what?"
"roll!"
In the conference room, everyone looked very strange.
Such a rude rejection?
There is no face or room left!
This Lei Shidong, at an old age, has suffered such a big setback, but he still refused to let go of power, or gave up!
Is this old and strong?
Still confused?
The people of Comcast are very depressed!
The trick of the mantis catching the cicada and the oriole behind, it didn't work!
