Vol 5 Chapter 1220: The dust settles

Hollywood’s 20th Century Fox studio, Little Murdoch, also known as Raffarin Murdoch, took a young man and a middle-aged man to the podium. “After a series of friendly operations, I announce that today, The social networking site yspae has officially joined News Corp. and has become the backbone of Fox Interactive Media."

"In the future, yspae, which is still operating independently, will continue to provide our more than 20 million users with better design services..."

Judging from the number of media participants, the scale of this conference is not as popular as Whitman's.

Among them, the number of professional financial media is far less, mainly because the amount involved in the merger he announced was only 580 million US dollars.

And what they acquired was yspae, which is really not well-known in the social field at this time.

Originally, yspae was able to take the lead at this time, but for Feng Yiping's sake, nextdr and faebk pearls were in front, yspae could only helplessly marginalize, and there were few opportunities to make headlines.

But in terms of communication effects, this merger and acquisition here may be known to more people next, because this merger and acquisition has attracted the attention of Hollywood.

News related to Hollywood will always be liked by more audiences. The reason is obvious. News related to celebrities and film companies will always be more serious than eBay news, and it is easier for ordinary people to read. of.

Besides, in terms of the popularity of reading, generally speaking, the entertainment edition is always more popular than the financial edition.

The press conference in Silicon Valley attracted the attention of many tech industry leaders, and the press conference in Hollywood attracted the attention of those who made trouble with Zengstrom.

They are even more concerned about this merger than when Feng Yiping acquired Marvel.

While the press conference was in progress, a gossip was also spread in a small area.

I heard that because of the failed bid for yspae, another legend in Hollywood burned 80% of his body’s skin because of a fire, and received more than 80 operations before and after. So you can remember it at first sight, but you are It's hard to see his Redstone, and for this reason he wants to fire his Viacom's e.

This gossip, which is believed to be a reliable source, made Hollywood informed people even more hesitant.

As everyone knows, Redstone’s success, or the success of his Viacom, mainly lies in three acquisitions: in 1987, the acquisition of Viacom, including the famous tv TV station; in 1993, the successful acquisition of Paramount; In 1999, it took only 8 days before and after to successfully acquire bs, one of the three major television networks in the United States, at a price of 37 billion US dollars.

It can be said that this is also a very visionary guy.

So, why did he make such a big fire for such a small amount of merger failure this time, so that he has to replace Viacom's e?

Does this mean that this acquisition is actually very important to him?

Why does he value such a social network company so much?

Think of Feng Yiping, who had the world’s most well-known social network before, cross-border acquisition of Marvel, Hollywood, these smart heads, naturally will think of a question, can it be said that in the future, the combination of film companies and social networks, Is it a big trend?

In fact, Hollywood has undergone many reshuffles. Many of the original shiny signs have no trace of existence. Therefore, the big bosses still have a strong sense of crisis.

So, if we have no chance to catch up with this trend, what will be the impact? Will it be left behind, or will it be eliminated?

Even at this time there is nothing to do, almost counting the days to wait for the day when he will retire, Disney's former emperor Michael Eisner is also thinking about this issue.

However, for these people in Hollywood, they are good at making a good movie; they are good at how to promote the film that is made; they are good at how to tap the peripheral benefits of the movie; and how to even reduce those The income of the big-name starring, or the hidden rules of the big-name stars..., they are also good at it.

Only for the high-tech represented by the Internet, they are really bad at it.

Originally, Eisner had a very good consulting partner, Jobs, who was a Silicon Valley tycoon. However, given his relationship with Jobs and given that he had less than half a month to leave get out of class, he gave up this aspect. Hard work.

After the press conference hosted by Lachlan Murdoch, after many inquiries and analysis by experts of all kinds, large and small, those who were originally worried finally found two reasons.

One is the competition between Redstone's Viacom and Feng Yiping's nextdr.

Because Redstone’s many acquisitions include one. In 1994, it spent $8.4 billion to acquire the American audio-visual rental giant, Blockbuster, which has thousands of stores.

But now, Blockbuster can be said to be squeezed by Netflix, leading to this merger, Redstone's most failed merger.

Therefore, he planned to attack Feng Yiping in the social field.

The second is the Murdoch family of News Corp., who can't live with Feng Yiping and his nextdr.

In the first two months, after Feng Yiping acquired Marvel, he frequently interacted with News Corp. He was even invited by Murdoch to attend a family dinner at home. After that, the two sides reached a series of cooperation, which seemed quite close.

Everyone thinks that News Corp. has the most advantage in the Skype bid.

But who knows that in the end, the skype that Murdoch coveted was handed over to eBay under the auspices of Feng Yiping!

Therefore, they would think of taking a firm attitude to acquire yspae, which is also a social networking site, as a response...

Although it seems that Feng Yiping cannot be avoided, although it seems that Feng Yiping, who originally belonged to Silicon Valley, has been able to have such a big impact on Hollywood, but these two reasons still make some of Hollywood feel a little worried. The person finally relaxed.

It turns out that we did not miss a wave of trends, which is good!

The fortress was breached step by step, and the advantage was established in this way.

…………

In late May, it can be said that Michael Eisner, who created the glory of Disney with one hand, left the place where he had struggled for 21 years sadly.

It's just that, no one of the media is interested in filming this scene.

The media reporters are all surrounded by the incumbent Iger at this time, except that there is a building in the Disney headquarters that has just been named "Michael Eisner."

Although everyone knows that Michael Eisner was ousted by the Disney family, but everyone has an ID card. Well, that person with the identity, on the whole, still has to be able to pass.

On the same day, News Corporation released the latest developments. Thanks to the acquisition of yspae, News Corporation's US website ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ traffic has doubled.

In Silicon Valley, a series of follow-up events brought about by eBay's acquisition of Skype have also come to an end.

Zengstrom and his team have officially established their offices in Silicon Valley, and the specific plan for the split of paypal has also been approved by the regulatory authorities. The holders of the original eBay stocks will receive the same amount of paypal. stock.

If an investor reads the relevant report they submitted to the US Securities and Exchange Commission, they will find that among the top ten institutional shareholders, the third, holding 7.1%, is an institution called "Leading Capital" .

Only those who are very concerned about the relevant information will find that this institution is also the largest holding institution among all listed companies under Feng Yiping.

…………

"Oh, after working for so long, I didn't get any money," Feng Yiping locked a document in the safe.

"You are changing the law again and want me to praise you? Who doesn't know your investment vision? You invested 8 million dollars, and it turned into 560 million dollars."

"This time you put all the realisation into paypal in the future, how much will it become? Billions are at least, right?"

"I wish it was done, I will be proud of it," Huang Jingping gestured to him with a t-shirt, "Yes, I packed it for you,"

Feng Yiping is indeed quite proud, hehe, we have successfully become a shareholder of Paypal!

She hugged Huang Jingping, "Pack this in too,"

"Don't make trouble," Huang Jingping giggled, "I said I can't walk away now, but I will definitely go back then."

"Also, Boss Feng, I won't spread any more scandals when I go to Hollywood this time."
