Chapter 338
Having finally completed the acquisition of Fox, the high-spirited Murdoch is ready to flex his muscles.
However, the old guy received a bunch of resignation letters before he could figure out what to do.
Well, although I also planned to go to William White to poach a corner, I didn't expect to miss it.
As for Barry Diller, whom he was thinking about, how could he accept his solicitation. You must know that even if everyone has the same belief, sometimes it is useless. In the final analysis, Hollywood is a place to talk about strength.
"Old guy, I really think I'm easy to bully."
"Boss, Murdoch is taking it for granted. With such a huge difference in strength, he may not be able to achieve his goal."
"Filson, this guy's identity is still of great help to him. Whether it's the media industry or the entertainment industry, the top talents are all Jewish."
"Maybe this is his confidence."
"It's just a pity that he got the priority wrong."
Felson couldn't say anything. This topic is still relatively taboo in the United States. In his opinion, the old guy who has not yet gained a firm foothold dares to poach a corner, it is simply reckless.
In Hollywood, William White can only be described as powerful. Relying on your poor strength to challenge is really ridiculous.
"To poach William White's corner? What does the old guy think?"
"I don't know, he has a big heart, and he actually went to dig Barry Diller."
"It's not impossible for you to really do this. How can you let others know."
Regarding Murdoch's operation, the consortium leaders are very speechless. Even if they are a group of guys, if they don't have much interest, they won't easily provoke this frizzy kid.
When this guy was still very weak, he dared to fight Warner head-on. The most interesting thing is that it turned out to be Warner's soft suit in the end.
As long as you are sure, forget it, but the result is good. Fox, which was originally torn apart, was completely paralyzed this time.
"Honey, don't you have your eyes on someone again?"
Regarding Sophie's complaints, William White said he didn't care, and the buddies dug this time are all technical nerds. There is no way to monopolize actors, but California has a talent bill.
"How is it possible, I'm not interested in the old man."
"Hmph, Fox has quite a few actresses."
"Tch, they are all members of CAA, it's none of my business."
"Honey, why don't you let me sign CAA. Is there any bad intention."
"Yes, I plan to occupy you for a long time, of course you are not allowed to escape."
"Hmph, there are so many people you want to occupy for a long time."
William White choked speechlessly, knowing that he had a daughter, this must have overturned the jar of jealousy. Fortunately, this guy was thick-skinned enough, so he changed the subject immediately.
"Ahem, you are an English teacher, why can't you reverse your accent?"
"Why don't you teach me."
"Hehe, there are too few words that can be used between us."
"Don't, don't move, not today."
Someone who couldn't teach English left angrily. The sour smell here is too strong, and I really can't stay here.
William White has many places to relieve stress, but Murdoch is not in the mood. He wasn't quite sure how the bastard knew about it in advance. Could it be that there are people around him?
The old guy has been engaged in conspiracies and tricks all his life, so he is indeed a sinister person.
It's just that he thought too much, and before he succeeded in the acquisition, William White started to do it. He just has a tacit understanding with other Hollywood bigwigs, and has nothing to do with you Murdoch, why can't he poach your corner?
As for the executives in his company, to be honest, he doesn't care if these people go or stay.
Now it's only the 1980s, and few people really engage in equity incentives. William White's way, for those professional managers, is simply an irresistible temptation.
People like Barry Diller and Michael Eisner are not simple CEOs. These guys are all members of the board of directors. How could they be fooled by you so easily? Could it be that you plan to give away News Corp.?
NBC, with a market value of US$8 billion, really thought it was a joke? Your News Corp. is not half the size of others. If Barry Diller really leaves, William White can only lament your passion.
Murdoch knew that the whole of Hollywood was watching his jokes. Bullying newcomers is a traditional drama, and he should actually be dormant at this time instead of provoking.
It's just that he really doesn't have time. Fox TV is too small, and now is the best time to expand. If you can't seize this opportunity, there will be real problems.
"Boss, Fox's recent situation is not good."
"Hey, the momentum is enough, it's just that I chose the wrong opponent."
"Hehe, boss, everyone wants to become the largest TV network in the United States. Is this why we support him?"
"Timing, timing is very important. William White seized the opportunity, so he was one step ahead. How do you replicate his success at this time? If the two sides switch positions, William White will also suffer."
Although the old guy said so, his subordinates didn't agree with it very much, but there was no need to argue. He is in fact opposed to investing in News Corporation.
In his opinion, Damo's choice this time is simply ridiculous. Do you really think that William White relied on Barry Diller to succeed?
childish!
Those shows were not planned by Barry Diller. To put it bluntly, this guy is an excellent performer. If he is in the hands of Murdoch, he may not be able to play his role.
Bankers and investment banks may like Murdoch because he is easy to control. As an employee of an enterprise, few people like this guy.
Those editor-in-chiefs under William White really have the right, and there is no need to ask for instructions and reports sooner or later.
Well, that bastard probably doesn't have time for it either.
On the other hand, News Corporation, that is simply what Murdoch said. The editor-in-chief has no rights at all, and all those editorials can only be published with his permission.
Ordinary employees may not know your style, so how could those executives not know it. If there is a choice, whoever is crazy is willing to be that puppet.
William White, who had won a game, was actually a bit discouraged, and the crisis he was facing had not been resolved.
Today's CAA is getting bigger and has more and more artists in its hands. Although the relationship between the two parties has eased in the past two years, the differences in ideas are fundamentally a matter of principle, and there is no possibility of any negotiation.
However, today's White Pictures is already a behemoth. You can play with a small brokerage company, but if you dare to expand it infinitely, it will definitely lead to extreme rebound.
No one cares about the current brokerage company, because everyone can see that this thing does not make money. William White is to take better care of his woman.
Well, although some people will complain, they don't take it seriously. If the richest man has no personal pursuits, why do he still make so much money?
