Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

"Mr. Richardson welcomes your arrival. I didn't expect that we met again so soon.

"

"Thank you for your reception. For visiting the liberty today, thank you for your time you can take the time to meet me."

The next day Richardson came to the headquarters of "News Group". He originally wanted to meet with Murdoch, but the other party told him that Murdoch was not free now.

Although he couldn't see Murdoch, Richardson couldn't just go back to this way, so he saw the deputy general manager of the "News Group" Howardderson.

How did Hodridon also present when Lin Daoqiu and Murdoch met for the first time, when they followed Lin Daoqiu and Murdoch.

I also briefly talked for a while at Richardson and Howerson in the golf course, but they were just some things that were windy and snowy, and it did not involve Fox Film Company.

"You are so polite. As the leading film company in Hollywood, MGM often appears in our news and newspaper reports. It is my honor to have the opportunity to meet you again."

From the first impression of meeting with Howardon, Richardson's view of him can be said to be great. Although he failed to see Murdoch, at least he didn't sit on the cold bench.

After two people briefly greet a few words, Howardon invited Richardson to his office.

Regarding the attitude of "News Group", Richardson had made a simple guess before coming.

Judging from Murdoch's unwillingness to see his reaction, Richardson guessed that the other party should have not been angry, or he felt that only Lin Daoqiu could be equal to him, so he refused to see himself.

But no matter what the situation is, for Richardson, the main purpose of this trip to "News Group" is to test the attitude of the other party.

It is secondary to be able to talk about things. After all, Richardson did not expect him to finalize this matter.

Of course, if the price is appropriate, Richardson doesn't mind being finalized today, but this possibility is too low. He does not have any hope for this.

"The boss is busy with the TV station recently. Basically, rarely comes to the company, and even if you come over, you are busy meeting with everyone, I hope your will not misunderstand."

Hodreson seemed to be introducing why Murdoch did not see him to Richardson, but his rhetoric Chaderson did not believe it at all.

But even so that Richardson had to pretend to be a sense of realization, and showed a very understandable appearance. After all, everyone knows that there is no need to pick it up.

"Actually, this also blame me for a sudden visit without an appointment in advance. It is normal for Mr. Murdoch to see me without time. I don't have a half -sentence complaint about this."

"You are really an understanding person, oh yes, don't you know what you have come here? If it is an urgent thing, you can tell me, I will report to the boss as soon as possible."

The purpose of How to see Richardson is actually to understand what the purpose of the other party comes, is it that they are guessing.

If this is the case, he can talk to Richardson how much is Fox worth.

"I believe that Mr. Okdreson should have known before that New Oriental Pictures intends to acquire Fox Film Company, so I came here today to make an outpost."

"That's it. I have heard of this incident before, but when he mentioned this at the time, he was not in a good mood. You were also present at the time. I believe you should see it."

Richardson nodded. At that time, he did see Murdoch's angry expression, but Richardson naturally would not take this matter.

"It may be that Mr. Lin and Mr. Murdoch had some misunderstandings when they communicated. In fact, this is not a big deal. Just make the misunderstanding clearly."

Howard did not expect that Richardson wanted to wipe the matter in lightly, and this guy was really savvy.

But the question is how How How to make Richardson wiped this matter so easily. This is the weapon that they can use to raise the price, but they cannot be thrown away.

"You may not know that our boss is actually a person with a very good temper. Since I joined the" News Group ", I have never seen the boss who had lost his temper. At that time, I also saw it."

"You are good, but the things in the past have passed, and it doesn't make sense to mention these. In addition to the purpose of coming here today, I also want to talk about the acquisition of Fox Film.

talk."

After Richardson finished speaking, Howard Suddenly shook his head at him.

"Sir, if your company wants to acquire the stock of Fox Fox in our hands, then it must be nodded through our boss. Do you think it is possible in this situation?"

"Of course, I don't think it should be emotional if doing business, and I believe that Mr. Murdoch has been doing this business for so many years, and he must have been very experienced in controlling emotions."

If you don't want to listen to what kind of quotation of Richardson brought, Howard really wants to invite him to his own office.

"Well, we put it aside for the time being. Since your company wants to acquire 50 % of the shares of our Fox Film Company, how much do you plan to pay?"

This is the key to the problem. As long as it can give a quotation that makes Murdoch unable to refuse, Howard Sen believes that those unhappy in the past will disappear.

"At that time, Mr. Murdoch spent 250 million to buy these shares. After a few years, although Fox Film's results were still poor, we still decided to give a very sincere quotation.

And be responsible for all the debts of the company. "

Lin Daoqiu just wanted to buy Fox Film Corporation alone, so in Richardson's view, the price of $ 400 million can be said to be very reasonable.

And after they bought Fox Film Corporation, they had to help repay their debts. Although I don't know how much, there are at least two and three million.

"400 million U.S. dollars to repay the debt of Fox Film Company, I have estimated your price slightly, about 600 million, oh ..."

Hodrison said half of the suddenly stopped, and it seemed that he was seriously considering the offer given by Richardson.

Richardson knew that he couldn't speak at this time, so he sat quietly waiting for Howardon.

"Although this offer looks very sincere, it does not really reflect the value of Fox Film. In addition to repaying debts, I think it should be a very reasonable price."

After Hodrison finished speaking, Richardson's eyes began to open slowly.

He couldn't help looking at the other person and asked in surprise.

"Can you repeat the words you just now?"

"In addition to repaying debts, it is a reasonable price to add 1.5 billion yuan."

After listening to Richardson, it was determined that the other party had nothing to say. When did 1.5 billion and repay the debt, when did Fox Film have so much money? Is the people in the News Group?

Bar.
