Chapter 1192 Mutual benefit

Feng Yiping did not really ask this question. Murdoch said this, probably to quickly narrow the distance between them.

We all have such experiences. Sometimes, we will not just become enthusiastic because of the same hobbies. Often, because we don’t like something or a person in common, we will become enthusiastic quickly, and the effect will be even better.

Even if Murdoch really couldn't help but complain about the filmmaker in front of Feng Yiping, that didn't mean that he was willing to sell Fox at this time.

It's like he has two sons now. Although he obviously prefers his eldest son Raffaran, it doesn't mean that he thinks his younger son James is redundant.

Although Feng Yiping did not know the old man's attitude towards filmmakers before, he must have read a lot of information before coming. The most common thing he does for this old man to reach today's height is to buy.

Mainly, I bought newspaper companies and TV stations. When the Australian ones were almost done, I started buying British and American ones. When the British and American ones had a foundation, I bought Asian ones... When he had his own newspaper or TV business in many countries around the world, he became a media giant.

It can be said that his achievements today mainly depend on acquisitions. At present, it is obviously unrealistic to ask him to sell important entertainment assets like Fox.

But in the future, when high technology has an increasing impact on the entertainment industry, this is really not accurate.

"I understand your feelings. The whole atmosphere in Hollywood is indeed different from many other places, but I think, maybe it is because of this that so many excellent films have been produced here," said Feng Yiping.

He understands Murdoch very well, a giant with a world-wide news industry. When he sees the various natural disasters and man-made disasters happening around the world today, he will definitely launch some stabbing projects against small animals and sneer at some Hollywood stars.

But perhaps it is because of Hollywood that there are such a group of vanity, impetuous, childish and neurotic people that can produce so many excellent movies.

Including Netflix, Amazon, and their homemade dramas that later profoundly influenced the Hollywood landscape, they rely on the group of people from Hollywood.

"Yes, I advised Murdoch not to be so extreme. Every industry has its own characteristics," said Mrs. Murdoch.

"But I think Murdoch is right. Hollywood does have many aspects to improve," said Feng Yiping.

Murdoch nodded first, then shook his head, "But these people in Hollywood, they would not know this way,"

"So, you acquired Marvel and want to make such an attempt?"

"I didn't think so. I acquired Netflix, but just like you acquired Fox, it was because of the business needs. At this time, Marvel happened to be the most suitable target," said Feng Yiping.

I entered Hollywood, just to change Hollywood. I entered Hollywood, not only to acquire Marvel, but next, Netflix will also change many traditional practices in Hollywood, and eventually become an existence that makes the six major Hollywood studios unable to sleep well.

But he is not a bad guy, so he won't say anything simple and profound.

Murdoch looked at Feng Yiping with a deep impression in his eyes. In addition to being quick to react, this young man really has a calmness that is inconsistent with his age.

Faced with such inquiry issues, he neither expressed his true purpose nor denied it completely, but explained it with a sentence "business needs".

This response is indeed perfect.

"Indeed, I bought Fox because Fox was in trouble at that time, and I needed Fox's TV stations,"

"I just don't understand the media industry in the United States until now. Look, among the large Hollywood film studios, Disney, which has not been acquired, is the strongest at present, but it is not the largest media group," he said.

"Comcast," Feng Yiping followed four words.

"It is precisely that Comcast, a cable TV service provider in a small city, has now become the largest media company in the United States. What do you think about this issue?"

Feng Yiping thought for a while, "We have to admit that Disney does have business strategies that are different from other Hollywood companies. Other film companies pay more attention to stories and tend to present good stories perfectly to everyone."

"But Disney, they don't seem to focus on the story, and relatively speaking, they care more about the characters they create in their works."

Looking at the Murdoch couple’s somewhat puzzled look, he explained, “For example, when I was a kid, I hadn’t seen Disney cartoons, but that didn’t prevent me from knowing Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck.”

"Oh, you summarized it well. It is precisely because Disney has extended the downstream industrial chain of Disneyland and toy sales through these eternal roles, which has enabled them to have a larger market size, lower cost expenditures, and longer-term and stable profit returns," Murdoch concluded.

This old man is indeed very wise.

"As for Comcast, which was originally not a traditional media company, now has become a giant in the media industry, this may also mean that in some industries with slow changes and mature markets, the industry structure has been fixed. The existence of traditional monopoly giants has curbed the growth of new enterprises in the industry. On the contrary, companies outside the industry have more opportunities,"

"In this society, when many industry giants look back and find that they don't have strong competitors, they relax and start taking a nap, they may not know that some companies outside the industry are about to become the overlords of this industry that they seem to be dominated by," he said.

This is also why Netflix later became a media giant, Tesla became an automobile giant with a market value exceeding GM and Ford, Taobao became the largest retailer in China, and Xiaomi once became an industry giant with more heritage and experience such as "China Cool League", and also a smartphone company that was eclipsed.

"Comcast's success actually has common experience with Mr. Murdoch's success. You have all proved one thing very strongly that through financial mergers and acquisitions, it is a very feasible path to quickly grow the company, make up for some of its original shortcomings, and gain cost advantages."

"Haha," Murdoch couldn't help but smile happily.

If he was an ordinary young man, Murdoch would only regard it as a compliment, but if he said this, Feng Yiping would surpass himself in his future achievements, and his personal wealth would surpass himself in Feng Yiping.

It is no wonder that Feng Yiping is so happy to say that his most proud strategy.

Seeing the maid coming, Murdoch actually pushed Feng Yiping into the restaurant, "Let's go for dinner,"

Mrs. Murdoch saw this scene and felt a little moved. Although this is not appropriate, you don’t seem to like your children like this!

And it seems that the words you prepared did not bring him closer to us. Instead, the few words he said successfully made you feel good about him?

Also, why does he look very relaxed?

…………

The dinner was naturally rich, and it had authentic Australian flavor, wine, beef, and it was from Australia, with representative snacks and meat pies on the table.

Including after-dinner desserts, the Lemington cakes that many Australian families often eat after dinner.

The dinner was also very happy. On such occasions, Feng Yiping was always gentle and polite, and Old Murdoch was deliberately accommodated. In addition, Mrs. Murdoch was adjusted from the side. This meal was really a joy for the host and guests.

The real thing was also confirmed during the chat after the meal, "Feng, you know, our TV station has a lot of demand for TV series. Is Marvel willing to cooperate with us in these aspects?" said Murdoch.

"Thank you Murdoch, I will tell them this good news," Feng Yiping knew that with this sentence, the cooperation between Marvel and Fox was decided.

"Haha, don't be polite, mutual benefit, I like this kind of cooperation the most," Murdoch smiled.

"Yes," Feng Yiping nodded, "For example, in Asia, we also have a lot of places to cooperate with,"

Star Media, headquartered in Hong Kong, is also a wholly-owned subsidiary of News Corporation.

"Yes, right," Murdoch held Feng Yiping's hand again, "Looking forward to our next meeting,"

…………

When Saboban drove out of the driveway in front of the mansion, the couple walked towards the house. "Murdoch, didn't you forget to ask the most important question?" said Mrs. Murdoch.

"You mean myspace?"

"Yes, he never responded to this. Isn't this a little confused? I think the atmosphere is very good today, why don't you mention it?"

Feng Yiping also knew about the skype issue, so there was no need to say that he was invited to visit his home, so it was not necessary to say it explicitly.

"No, he said," Murdoch said.

"He said?" Mrs. Murdoch recalled, "No, you didn't talk about this at all,"

"You forgot that he said that financial mergers and acquisitions are also a good way to make up for some of the original shortcomings,"

"Oh," Mrs. Murdoch thought for a moment, "so that's it, no wonder you were so relaxed at that time."

"But he really doesn't care about it at all."

"This is a young man who looks gentle, but is actually very powerful," Murdoch said.

He couldn't help but look in the direction where the car left, his eyes full of Beverly's bright lights.
