Chapter 1220 The dust has settled

Hollywood's 20th Century Fox studio, Murdoch Jr., is Raffalan Murdoch, took a young man and a middle-aged man to the rostrum. "After a series of friendly operations, I announced that today, the social networking website Myspace officially joined the ranks of News Corp and became the backbone of Fox's interactive media,"

"In the future, myspace, which still operates independently, will continue to provide better design services to our more than 20 million users..."

Judging from the number of people present at the media, the scale of this press conference is not as high as Whitman's popularity.

Among them, the number of professional financial media is far less than that, mainly because the amount involved in the merger and acquisition case he announced was only US$580 million.

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

Originally, myspace could lead the way at this time, but because of Feng Yiping, nextdoor and Facebook were ahead, myspace could only marginalize helplessly and rarely have the chance to make headlines.

But in terms of communication effects, the merger here may be known by more people in the future because this merger has attracted the attention of the entire Hollywood.

News related to Hollywood will always be liked by more audiences, and the reason is obvious. News related to celebrities and film companies will always be more serious than news like eBay, which makes ordinary people more likely to have the desire to read.

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

The Silicon Valley press conference attracted the attention of many bigwigs in the technology industry, while the Hollywood press conference attracted the attention of those who had made things difficult for Zengstrom.

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

While the press conference was underway, a rumor was spreading on a small scale.

I heard that because of the failed bid for Myspace, another legendary boss in Hollywood, who burned 80% of his skin due to a fire and underwent more than 80 surgeries, so you can never forget it at first sight, but it is difficult for you to see his Redstone, and you want to fire your Viacom ceo for this.

This rumor, believed to be reliable, has made Hollywood well-informed people even hesitant.

As we all know, Redstone's success, or his Viacom's success, mainly lies in three acquisitions: in 1987, it acquired Viacom, including the famous MTV TV station; in 1993, it successfully acquired Paramount; in 1999, it only took 8 days to successfully acquire CBS, one of the three major American TV networks for US$37 billion.

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

So, why did he become so angry about such a small amount of merger and acquisition that he had to replace Viacom's ceo?

Does this mean that he actually attaches great importance to this merger and acquisition?

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

Thinking of Feng Yiping, who had the world's most well-known social network before, cross-border acquisition of Marvel and Hollywood's smart minds, he will naturally think of a question. Could it be that in the future, the combination of film companies and social networks is a major trend?

Hollywood has actually experienced many reshuffles since its development. Many of the original shiny signs cannot find any trace of existence, so the big guys' sense of crisis is still very strong.

So, what impact will we have if we don’t have the chance to catch up with this trend? Will we be left behind or will we be eliminated?

Even at this time, he had nothing to do, and almost counted the days waiting for the day to come when he retired. Disney's former emperor Michael Eisner was also thinking about this issue.

However, for these people in Hollywood, they are good at making a good movie; how to create momentum for the film's promotion; how to tap the surrounding profits of the movie, they are good at making it; how to even reduce the profits of big-name starring, or the unspoken rules of big-name stars... They are also good at making it.

Only for high-tech represented by the Internet, they are really not good at it.

Originally, Eisner had a very good consulting partner, Jobs, a Silicon Valley boss. However, given his relationship with Jobs and his class will be dismissed in less than half a month, he gave up his efforts in this regard.

After the press conference hosted by Lachlan Murdoch, after many inquiries and analysis by various experts, big or small, those who were originally worried finally found two reasons.

One is because of the competition between Viacom of Redstone and Feng Yiping's nextdoor.

Because among the many acquisitions of Leishidong, there is also one, which spent $8.4 billion in 1994 to acquire the American audio-visual rental giant and Blockbuster, which owns thousands of stores.

Now, Blockbuster can be said to be beaten by Netflix, which leads to this merger and acquisition, which may be the most failed merger and acquisition for Leishidong.

That's why he planned to attack Feng Yiping in the social field.

The second is the Murdoch family of News Corporation, and they are unable to get along with Feng Yiping and his nextdoor.

Two months ago, after Feng Yiping acquired Marvel, he interacted frequently with News Corporation and was even invited by Murdoch to attend a family dinner. After that, the two sides reached a series of cooperation, which looked quite close.

Everyone thinks that News Group has the most advantage in the bidding for skype.

But who knew that in the end, the skype that Old Murdoch coveted was handed over to ebay under the leadership of Feng Yiping!

That's why they think about acquiring myspace, which is also a social networking website, with a firm attitude, in response...

Although it seems that Feng Yiping cannot be avoided. Although it seems that Feng Yiping, who originally belonged to Silicon Valley, has already had such a great impact on Hollywood, these two reasons still made some people who were originally worried in Hollywood finally relax.

It turns out we didn't miss a trend, which is great!

——Fortresses are broken step by step, and their advantages are also established little by little.

…………

In late May, Michael Eisner, who created Disney's glory, took a car to leave this place where he had struggled for 21 years.

However, no media has the interest in filming this scene.

Media reporters were all around Eiger, who was taking office at this time, but there was a building at Disney headquarters that had just been named "Michael Eisner".

Although everyone knows that Michael Eisner was kicked off the stage by the Disney family, everyone has an ID card. Huh, that person with identity still needs to be able to get by on a broad scale.

On the same day, News Corp released the latest progress. Thanks to the acquisition of Myspace, the traffic of News Corp's US website doubled.

In Silicon Valley, a series of subsequent events brought about by ebay's acquisition of skype have also come to an end.

Zengstrom and his team have officially worked in Silicon Valley, and the specific plan for the split of Paypal has also been approved by regulators. The original eBay stock holders will receive the same amount of paypal stocks accordingly.

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

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

…………

"Oh, I've been busy for so long, but I didn't get a penny," Feng Yiping locked a document into the safe.

"Are you trying to make me praise you again? Who doesn't know your investment vision? Investing 8 million US dollars, it turned out to be 560 million US dollars,"

"How much will you become in the future if you invest all the monetizations in PayPal this time? Billions are at least,"

"Whatever I want is done, I'll be proud of it," Huang Jingping took a T-shirt and gestured on him, "No, I'll pack it for you,"

Feng Yiping is indeed quite proud, haha, we have successfully become a shareholder of paypal!

She held Huang Jingping in her arms and said, "Pack up this, too,"

"Stop messing around," Huang Jingping giggled, "I said I can't leave now, but I will definitely go back then,"

"And Boss Feng, this time I will not be rumored to go to Hollywood again, right?"
