Chapter 10 Machine Front

After some greetings and politeness, the few people sat down cross-legged in sequence under the arrangement of Shen Jiannan.

The independent reception room is decorated in Japanese style. Shinkawa Masako knelt beside Shen Jiannan with a teapot full of tea, making tea for several people.

Crazy-

The clear and light green tea water turned into crystal clear lines, and rushed into the cup in turn like flowing water. As the smoke and dust rose, a faint fragrance quickly rose around.

Shen Jiannan took the clip and delivered the teacup to several people in turn.

The fragrance of tea is swaying to the tip of the nose, light and mixed with the fragrance, making people feel refreshed.

Rupertmurdoch took it, praised the good tea, picked it up and took a sip, the sweet taste rushed straight into the taste buds, and he couldn't help but give Masako Shinkawa.

“verygood.”

Shen Jiannan couldn't help but smile and said with a teacup.

"Mr. Murdoch knows how to taste tea?"

"I don't understand very much. But I can feel a unique rhythm, sound, fragrance, and color."

"Haha, Mr. Murdoch is such a graceful person."

"Thank you for your praise."

Murdoch said, and looked at Liu Changzhi. Some things were not suitable for him as his identity. Liu Changzhi replied with a look, grabbed the teacup, smiled and mentioned his purpose this time.

"Li Sheng must have already told Mr. Shen about our purpose. I don't know what you think about this."

Shen Jiannan did not answer directly, grabbed the teacup and grasped it for a moment, and Yun Danfeng looked at Liu Changzhi with a despicable look.

"Liu Shengfang is not convenient for me to talk to Mr. Murdoch alone?"

You, get out of here, you don’t have the right to speak.

Although Shen Jiannan didn't say that, he just said that.

Liu Changzhi's face changed instantly, and his face turned red. He was at least the administrative director of Starl. Under Hutchison Whampoa, he was still the number one figure and had been so humiliated.

But suddenly, Liu Changzhi felt that the hairs behind him stood up instantly, as if they were being targeted by a poisonous snake or a lion.

Following the feeling, Liu Changzhi looked sideways and immediately met a pair of indifferent and bloodthirsty eyes.

It was Akhmetov, sitting in a corner, as if there was no presence like air. Before, Liu Changzhi just glanced at him and didn't notice anything abnormal. Now he looked at him and immediately felt the coldness.

Danger, extreme danger.

Sweat flowed down Liu Changzhi's face, and he suddenly realized that the rumors were probably true.

"As for that, of course, it's convenient. Mr. Shen is free."

"Laugh. Then go and sit with Liu Sheng, and I will talk to Mr. Murdoch."

"Yes, boss."

The two of them bent over and left, one was scared and the other was used to it.

After the two left, Shen Jiannan no longer had the same cynicism as before. He looked straight into Murdoch's eyes and looked at Murdoch. Under the traction of the energy, Murdoch did not laugh anymore and looked directly at Shen Jiannan.

A pair of black eyes, bottomless, as dark as the night sky, and another pair of yellow and dark eyes, slightly turbid, but it is impossible to guess the true thoughts of the owner of the eyes.

After a long time, Shen Jiannan closed his momentum and laughed.

"Mr. Murdoch. I think you also know the importance of First Media under the Starry Sky to First Capital. I also know the importance of First Capital to News Corporation. But 100 million Hong Kong dollars is not enough."

Murdoch didn't say anything and stretched out two fingers.

"Two million?"

"Yes. But not Hong Kong dollars, US dollars, 200 million dollars."

Shen Jiannan was stunned.

Isn't this his favorite way of pretending? I didn't expect Murdoch to like doing this too. It's no wonder that he is the top media giant. He can make a shocking $200 million in one move. If someone else is replaced, he will probably be knocked out.

You should know that Starl's investment exceeded HK$3.3 billion, and News Group only gave more than RMB500 million. All investments in Starry Sky First Financial News add up to HK$10 million.

Two hundred million US dollars, more than one hundred times the rate of return, can kill people if they are all converted into cash.

But money is meaningless. Shen Jiannan laughed silently, stared at Murdoch's eyes and shook his head.

Murdoch's face suddenly became gloomy and his heart sank.

Two hundred million US dollars is an astronomical figure. I believe anyone who hears this number that is more than ten times higher than expected will be thrilled. If the outside world knows that News Group will actually acquire the No. 1 Media under the Starry Sky for $200 million, it will inevitably be in an uproar.

He conducted a survey and Capital One took over Star Media's investment, initially only 5 million Hong Kong dollars and 200 million US dollars. The return rate of this geometric ratio is enough to shock anyone.

However, Shen Jiannan was unmoved at all and refused directly.

Two hundred million US dollars is the limit of the funds that News Group can draw, so it is impossible to increase the price. Shen Jiannan's attitude clearly shows that he has no intention of selling it at all.

Murdoch couldn't help but feel a little irritated.

He has made careful strategic planning. If he can win Stars No. 1 Media, use Stars No. 1 Media as publicity, merge Stars No. 1 Media into Stars No. 1 Media and merge it into Stars Media Group. With Stars No. 1 Media’s huge influence in finance, economy and investment and Stars’ resources, he believes that he will soon be able to occupy the Asian market.

By then, any global capital that wants to get a share of the Asian market will have to cooperate with News Corporation.

But now...

Looking at the dark and deep eyes, Murdoch calmly and suppressed his anger.

"Mr. Shen, $200 million, I don't think anyone will pay higher than News Corp. You shouldn't refuse."

"Mr. Murdoch is right. $200 million, no one will pay this price again."

"Why?"

Shen Jiannan did not speak, Shinkawa Masako understood and took the tea to help him pour another cup of tea.

Pick up the tea cup, smell the fragrance of tea, and take a sip. The faint fragrance will not dissipate for a long time.

After sucking for a few times, Shen Jiannan smiled faintly.

"I think Mr. Murdoch should know that the First Financial under the Starry Sky also has a good reputation in the entire Asian market. If there is enough capital injection, it can easily establish a brand image in various regions of Asia.

Suppose I win a radio station in Thailand or the Philippines, do free programs, and use the first media under the Star Sky to focus on financial speculation columns and expand to other markets. How long do you think it will take to win the Asian market?"

"Also, I am from China and have always had a good relationship with China. I believe Mr. Murdoch can also see the huge prospects of the Chinese market. Not long ago, reforms were carried out there, and there were already securities and futures markets. Do you think, based on China's population base, if you enter the Chinese market, how big is the prospect?"

"I can use the First Media as the core under the Starry Sky to radiate my influence from Hong Kong to the surrounding areas. Whether it is market analysis, investment and financial management experience, or any program, it will be open for free."

"No one doesn't like free shows, right?"

"And we, once we take over all the markets, can create profits with advertising fees."

“…”

Free programs, invade the Asian market, and then Chinese people, and China's reforms and the opening of the financial market.

Rupertmurdoch's face became ugly. The free TV business was a tactic he had been thinking about for a long time to cooperate with the strategic deployment of the Asian market.

However, Shen Jiannan also mentioned that it was free, and even how to operate it was considered, and it was free in financial investment. Moreover, he was still a Chinese. If the First Media under the Starry Sky wanted to enter the Asian market, it would have many advantages than him, a white man.

If you invade the current paid TV market for free, you will know what the result will be.

I've done it wrong.

Rupertmurdoch couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Mr. Chen, I'm sorry. I don't think we need to continue talking anymore."

"Why?"

Shen Jiannan said in surprise.

"Your idea is forward-looking and great. I don't think there is a shortage of funds for First Capital. So, is it necessary for us to continue talking about it?"

"Thank you, Mr. Murdoch, for your praise. As you said, Capital One is not short of funds. Although the company's assets are only 2 billion US dollars at present, if I want, I can borrow 10 billion US dollars from major banks at any time, or I can list a part of the company and operate it. I believe there is no problem at all when it grows several times."

What can rupertmurdoch say, nothing can be said.

The first capital is an investment company. The whole thing you have is cash. If you want to operate it, it is not just a few times the amount of borrowing 10 billion US dollars.

Rupertmurdoch couldn't help but look at Shen Jiannan with his dim eyes, and his dim eyes were surprisingly serious. He could have predicted that according to Shen Jiannan's plan, the No. 1 Media under the Starry Sky would be News Corporation's biggest enemy in Asia. Whether it was setting a precedent for free, or his identity as a yellow man, or a competition in capital, News Corporation could not even have any advantage.

Helplessly, rupertmurdoch put down the teacup in his hand and stood up.

"Mr. Chen. Thank you very much for your honesty. Thank you for your great refreshments, but I think I no longer need to stay. Sorry!"

After saying that, violentmurdoch made an apologetic etiquette, put on his shoes, turned around and left.

Since there is no need to continue talking, then after leaving the gate, it will be the enemy from now on.

But... do you really have a chance of winning?

A pair of domineering and deep eyes seemed to be looking at him. Rupertmurdoch did not notice. His tall and straight body had been blocked from the building.

Free... Chinese people... terrifying cash flow, awesome operating concept, in the face of such terrifying strength, News Group has no chance of winning even at all.

"Mr. Murdoch, I think, have you misunderstood what I mean? I don't sell it, but it doesn't mean we can't cooperate."

Another village is bright and bright.

Rupertmurdoch couldn't help but stop, and when he met those black eyes, his face became extremely cautious.

Because he suddenly realized that the negotiations he thought had ended were actually just beginning, and his voluntary abandonment was equivalent to losing the first move.
