Chapter 113: Or TBS?

"No one ... come against us?" Adrian's frown just stretched again, and his heart sank because of what he thought. (Qihang Fiction ~ Fiction from the Internet)
"Yes," Crowder sighed, and looked at him seriously. "Do you know where our weaknesses are?"
"... Young." After a short while, Adrian reluctantly spit out the word.
"Yes, our company is too young. It has only been more than a year since it was set up. We have no more achievements that can be achieved, and no background and qualifications of established companies. Remember that I said before that Need the word "us" used nearly 20 billion times? If we want to buy, we can only pay a high price, and once other group companies want to buy, the only thing we can do is to raise the price higher. Claude shrugged.
Adrian smiled bitterly and didn't speak again. The reason he offered to buy at this time was to catch Disney by surprise. In memory, Disney should have been acquired at the end of 1994. At this stage, I am afraid that it is still in the plan. If you can seize the opportunity, you may not be able to take it away from Disney.
But now after Claude's analysis, he found that his thoughts were still too naive. It is simply impossible to acquire such a huge company without spending months and six months of contact and negotiation. This gives the other party the opportunity to sell for a price. Even if you really want to sell, you should buy yourself a good one. The price is.
If Adrian is going to do it now, Disney will have no relevant plans. If so, he will definitely be involved in the first time. Michael Eisner may be a tyrant, but he is also a shrewd businessman. He will never Sit back and watch their two hairy boys earn their money
As long as you think about the 10-year loss after the acquisition, Disney still hasn't thought about selling it, and still fills the gap with its own huge capital, you can know how important this broadcast network of the nationwide broadcast company is to them. Michael Eisner is well aware of the complementary role of Disney in publicity and dissemination, so expect them to give up rather than think about how to raise more funds.
"It's an unacceptable thing." Adrian sighed, pinching his fingers a little unwillingly.
Although Claude hadn't said something, he was still very clear. If he had to acquire it, they might not have a chance to win, but the odds were not very high. But in this way, it is inevitable that all the energy and resources will be concentrated on the competition with Disney. If you win, it doesn't matter, but if you fail to win it, you will lose more.
Strength is still not enough. Adrian sighed angrily in his heart. If he can drag on for another three years, he can definitely raise more funds, but now he can only see the big meal in front of him but it is not good. If you let it slip away from your fingertips, there would never be a broadcaster with such a television network spread across the United States for him to buy it, which would be a major setback for the company's development.
A media company with a huge TV network has a much greater influence than those media companies that only have paper media. Modern people can not read newspapers or listen to radio but not TV. Compared to newspapers and radio, television has a multifaceted influence. Sound, text, and moving images are also more receptive to the disseminated information.
Or put it this way, just like people reading novels, if you find a paragraph that is strange or forget the plot, you can stop and turn to that paragraph to read it in detail before continuing to read. But if you are watching a movie, unless you are at home, it is impossible to ask the movie theater to go back up, read the ignored plot more, and then watch again-this is why some directors like to arrange a lot of small details in the movie, as There is nothing wrong with attracting viewers to watch repeatedly. Moreover, even at home, if you want to rewind, you can still rewind. After rewinding, you will still have a strange feeling.
One is to actively extract information, and the other is to passively receive information. Which one is more likely to affect nature is self-evident. For example, the TV movie "Song and Dance Youth" that Disney will launch in the future is an excellent example. If it exists alone as a movie, it will at most be at the same level as "Dance Out of My Life"-and may not even be comparable-available After repeated propaganda by the TV network, it immediately became a popular song and dance movie, which won a large number of young idols and made huge profits.
Therefore, in Adrian's plan, the television network was a necessary option from the beginning-and it can only be-but it was not expected that after the Soviet Union had made a fortune, it would still be difficult to achieve this goal.
Of course, he can also choose to buy a channel on other television networks, and then gradually expand to the United States. This is not difficult. There are many high-profile television festivals and variety shows in his head, otherwise How could he vowed to save? Even if the relevant details are not remembered, but if a boss has prepared all kinds of details, what is the operation team doing? And before that, he asked La Verne to prepare the department that produced the TV series.
In addition, you can also focus on the Internet. Before he was reborn, the Internet had already killed the record, the paper publishing industry was shaky, and online TV was already on the agenda. If you knew the opportunities If you live, you may not be able to become a giant in the emerging media industry.
But these two methods will be subject to others for a long time, especially the former. Although the latter has a wider sky in the future, Adrian's biggest advantage at that time may be gone.
Damn TV Network. Adrian breathed out a long time, looking back from his wild thoughts, and looked at the dead party in front of him: "You gave me good news, and then gave me bad news, Crow."
"Well, Ed, don't do that," Claude said comfortably. "The television network is important, and I know, if you want, we might as well try it-or, consider another broadcaster?"
"Other broadcasters?" Adrian let out his helplessly. "If you only buy them, it would be better to just set up a new one."
Crowder raised an eyebrow and suddenly thought of something: "I think you might be interested in a broadcast company."
"Oh?" Adrian looked curious.
"TBS" Claude said the name.
"TBS?" Adrian blinked. "I think ... I need an American broadcaster, right?"
"Am I not talking about the American Broadcasting Corporation?" Claude was a little confused.
"Isn't TBS short for Tokyo Broadcasting Corporation?" Adrian was confused.
"Tokyo Broadcasting Corporation? God, what's in your head?" Claude looked at him in disbelief. He took two deep breaths, calmed his emotions, considered the words, and asked again. "Well, do you remember the most popular news channel in the Gulf War early last year?"
"CNN, of course." Adrian capped his chin and seemed to hear something. "You want to say ..."
"Yes, CNN is a Turner Broadcasting Channel," Crowd nodded. "TBS for short."
"Turner Broadcasting Company?" Adrian shook his head and began to recall the relevant information.
"If I remember correctly, TBS Turner, the founder of TBS, has often attended my godfather's reception, your father's reception, and you should have met him," Claude said in retrospect.
"Really? Let me think ..." Adrian held his chin and narrowed his eyes, and his hands on the little round table began to beat rhythmically. "With a light moustache, the hair is always from the left. Combing to the right, the eyes are small but very godlike, and the square face gives a very tough feeling. "
"I didn't expect you to remember him." Claude looked at him in surprise.
"It's nothing," Adrian waved and seemed unwilling to talk more. "Do you think it's appropriate to buy TBS?"
"Of course," Crowd nodded. "Although TBS's television network is not as good as the number of channels radiating across the United States, it is quite good in the United States. After all, TBS is not as good as entertainment, CBS, etc. The TV network, but CNN has a solid position in the White House press group. More importantly, TBS is much cheaper than it is, I am afraid it only needs half of the money. Since you said that you can bring life back to life, then why not Take TBS to the next level? "
Having said that, he raised his hand to stop the idea of ​​Adrian's interjection: "I know what you want to say ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Ed. Yes, if the acquisition is successful, and you can do it Those that are mentioned, then the huge TV network will let us go up several steps and give us more right to speak. But have you ever thought that if we were established and developed less than two years ago, Is the company's successful acquisition really noticeable? Don't you think our foundation is still strong? If the expansion speed is too fast, it will be easy to be caught by people and then ... "
Crowder made a gesture: "I have dealt a lot with the guys on Wall Street, and I know the risks-if they are successfully acquired, we will definitely invest all the funds, if someone seizes the opportunity then Some rumors or something, if we are not careful, we may fall into the trap and lose what we have just bought, so I think it is more appropriate to buy TBS. And even then, I do n’t recommend to start buying immediately, we need more Time and patience, make careful contact with each other, collect all kinds of information at the same time, make the most precise arrangement, and be sure to win in one fell swoop when needed "
Claude waved a hand and ended his speech. Adrian didn't say a word. He sat quietly in the chair for a long time, staring at the distance and wondering what he was looking at. He didn't open his mouth slowly until Claude had a cup of coffee: "Well, then ... "
