Vol 5 Chapter 1146: Not optimistic

Mrs. Murdoch’s heart couldn’t help. But she talked about this. To be honest, she’s done it tonight, and Feng Yiping will fool herself with a meal of authentic domestic food. An opportunity to talk about the problem you really want to talk about.

She was sure that if Feng Yiping thought this way, he could really do it.

It is very simple to try again with one old trick. Those who come to Man Tingfang to eat must have many acquaintances and some people who want to see him. He can completely greet his friends and leave with excuses.

Could it be that he could still hold him back?

I didn't expect him to take the initiative to mention it.

"President Feng, you are short on time, so I won't talk secretly in front of people,"

Generally, in front of compatriots or overseas Chinese who are much older than him, Feng Yiping will take the initiative to let them call his own name, but this time is an exception.

In front of Mrs. Murdoch, he never said that.

"We are very optimistic about Skype. It already has a huge user base, as well as new users that are still growing at a high speed. It is very attractive to our TV network and paper media network all over the world."

"These users are also great targets for our movie announcements,"

"In addition, Murdoch can always and very much hope that more high-tech applications can be used to provide impetus for our development, so we have always believed that Skype is the most worthwhile product for us to acquire."

Her words came to an end, Wu Xinyang also served her a bowl of soup in due course, "Try this,"

"I can understand News Corp.'s optimistic view of Skype, and I also welcome the strong company News Corp. to show optimism about Skype," Feng Yiping stated.

Mrs. Murdoch didn’t move the spoon, and said quickly, “That’s our pleasure.”

Feng Yiping nodded, "However, unlike News Corporation’s previous acquisition targets, Skype can say that it does not overlap with any business segment of News Corporation. So the question is whether News Corporation has really managed to do a good job. Ready for a new business?"

Wu Xinyang glanced at Feng Yiping. Hearing what he meant, it seemed that he was reluctant to sell Skype to News Corporation? But as long as the price is right, who is not selling?

Wu Qian thinks a little bit more. Does the boss think that this Skype will be a pit, so I don’t want this lady who is of Chinese descent to fall into the pit because of this?

What they both thought was right and wrong.

It is true that as long as the price is right, everyone sells it, and Skype is indeed a pit.

So, it's better to sell to eBay. Who calls it Whitman at the helm?

Therefore, he did not kindly worry about the Chinese-American Mrs. Murdoch, because this matter was affected. To be honest, in the face of such large-scale mergers and acquisitions involving billions of dollars, she really does not have the kind of influence that can be finalized. It is Murdoch himself, it is estimated that it will take a lot of effort to obtain the approval of the board of directors.

Besides, does this person with this method need to worry about her?

Well, in fact, objectively, his attitude does have factors to consider for this person.

Although he doesn't admit it, in fact, he is still a good person at some point. Under the premise of not affecting his plan, he doesn't mind taking care of his former compatriots.

But the original meaning of his words, Murdoch’s talents have the most correct understanding, “Don’t worry, Mr. Feng, although we don’t have as good a vision as you, we will invest and support during the development of Skype.”

"Although we don't have the ability you have to grab and can start several high-tech companies with great prospects at the same time, we are fully prepared to accept high-tech companies like Skype."

"You also know that because of our original business, we have maintained very good cooperation with the governments of many countries in the world. This alone, I think, can bring great convenience to the development of Skype,"

Her understanding of Feng Yiping's words is a founder who is worried about the future development of her product.

For many entrepreneurs, the companies they have founded and the products they have developed are just like their children. They just want to sell, so they naturally have to find a good family for them.

Skype’s main business, or its most basic function, is still Internet telephony, which determines that it must obtain permission from the relevant regulatory agency of that country before opening up its business in a country.

The TV and paper media businesses that News Corporation is engaged in obviously also need to obtain relevant licenses. From this perspective, they take over Skype, at least in terms of access to relevant countries, it does have a lot of advantages.

"I have to remind you that taking over a company like Skype will increase a lot of costs, including human resources and public relations resources," Feng Yiping said.

We know that not all mergers and acquisitions will increase the cost of human resources. On the contrary, many mergers and acquisitions can effectively reduce the cost of human resources.

For example, for a group such as News Corporation whose main business is television and paper media, the number of employees required to operate two television stations and newspapers must be less than twice the number of employees when operating only one television station or newspaper.

In the long run, such mergers and acquisitions in the same industry are still a good way to reduce costs and increase profits.

But when it acquired a brand new industry, that was not the case.

For companies like News Corporation and acquiring high-tech companies like Skype, it is tantamount to increasing costs in all aspects.

"We have a very clear understanding of this. After so many years of development, News Corporation has the ability to afford such additional costs," Mrs. Murdoch said affirmatively.

Feng Yiping did not speak, and raised a toast to her, "I respect you,"

Mrs. Murdoch quickly raised the cup, waiting for Feng Yiping's next words.

However, knowing that this meal really made her very satisfied with the dinner, Feng Yiping did not say what she wanted to hear.

The next topic, Feng Yiping mainly revolves around News Corporation's TV business, especially News Corporation's TV business in Asia.

This again made Mrs. Murdoch lament Feng Yiping's carefulness, because her current public position is the senior executive of News Corp. in the Asian TV business, which is naturally a topic that Feng Yiping voted for her.

Confirming that there is no conflict between the two parties in this regard, she also picked up those aspects that Feng Yiping was interested in, and expressed her understanding and understanding. However, seeing that Feng Yiping was so interested in News Corporation’s TV business, she couldn’t help but have. Another conjecture was made.

Given that Feng Yiping's acquisition of Marvel is a foregone conclusion, does he want the TV stations under News Corporation to broadcast some of Marvel's movies?

It's just that such a decision really is not within her scope of authority, and in front of people like Feng Yiping, let alone her, her husband, it is not easy to write any blank checks.

Fortunately, Feng Yiping did not clearly mention this point, which made her very relieved.

"President Feng, when you go to New York or Los Angeles, if you have time, please notify me in advance. I hope very much that we can still have such an opportunity to communicate." When Feng Yiping sent her away enthusiastically, Mrs. Murdoch A warm greeting with Feng Yiping.

Although at this time, her mind is full of another question. What do you think about our acquisition of Skype?

But she didn't know what was going on. In front of this calm young man, she couldn't do the kind of free sway in front of others.

"Thank you, and welcome you to visit our company next time you go to Silicon Valley or when you return to China," Feng Yiping said.

At this time, it was also the time when many customers came to dine. When Feng Yiping walked out with her when they checked out, they often attracted many people to stop and stop.

In Silicon Valley, NEXTDOOR, Google, and Apple employees are not too difficult to see Feng Yiping, but it is really difficult for others to see him. Man Tingfang is a good place to see him.

Mrs. Murdoch, who was enjoying such attention~www.wuxiaspot.com~, has no time to pay attention to this. Seeing the parking lot is getting closer, she feels that she should ask that question. She is about to speak, Feng Yiping It happened to stretch out her hand to give her a imaginary support, and signaled her to be careful when crossing the bridge, "Mrs. Murdoch, the purpose of News Corp. I already know very well. I personally welcome it very much.

Really? Mrs. Murdoch was overjoyed, and couldn't hide her joy on her face, "Thank you, Mr. Feng, for your affirmation."

Until the car started, she could still see the young man who made herself unpredictable, standing in the parking lot and watching her leave. She pressed other thoughts, including the trace of uncertainty, and picked up the phone to prepare for the good news.

And this scene quickly reached the ears of those who Feng Yiping hoped to reach.

…………

"Yiping, do you really support it?" As soon as she got into the car, Wu Qian couldn't help asking the question she had been pondering for a long time.

"No, I am not optimistic about News Corporation,"

"what?"
