Vol 4 Chapter 10: eloquent

Several people exchanged greetings and courtesy, and under Shen Jiannan's arrangement, they sat down cross-legged one by one.
The independent reception room was decorated in a Japanese style. Masako Shinkawa, carrying a teapot full of tea, knelt down beside Shen Jiannan, and made tea for several people.
Wow!
The clear, light green tea water turned into crystal clear lines, and rushed into the cup in sequence like clouds and streams, and as the owl smoke rose up, a faint fragrance soon rose around it.
Shen Jiannan took the tongs and delivered the teacups to several people in turn.
The scent of tea is tangy, straight to the tip of the nose, light and mixed with the fragrance, refreshing.
Rupertmurdoch took it, praised the good tea, took it and took a sip, the sweet taste went straight to the taste buds, he couldn't help but stretched his thumb to Shinkawa Masako.
"Verygood."
Shen Jiannan couldn't help smiling, holding a teacup.
"Mr. Murdoch knows how to taste tea?"
"I don't understand it very well. But I can feel a distinctive rhythm, sound, fragrance and color."
"Haha, Mr. Murdoch is really elegant."
"Thanks for the praise."
Murdoch said, and met Liu Changzhi, there are some things that are not suitable for him to speak. Liu Changzhi replied with a knowing look, grabbed the teacup, smiled politely, and mentioned his intention this time.
"Our intentions, Li Sheng must have already talked to Mr. Shen. I don't know how you feel about this matter."
Shen Jiannan didn't answer directly, grabbing the teacup for a moment, Yun Danfeng glanced at Liu Changzhi lightly.
"Liu Sheng. Is it convenient for me to talk to Mr. Murdoch alone?"
You, get out, you are not qualified to speak here.
Although Shen Jiannan didn't say that, but it didn't mean that.
Liu Changzhi's discoloration changed instantly, his face was blue and red. He was the administrative director of sTaRL at any rate. Under Hutchison Whampoa, how could he be the number one person? He had been humiliated before.
But suddenly, Liu Changzhi felt the hair on his back stand up instantly, as if he was being stared at by a poisonous snake or lion.
Following the feeling, Liu Changzhi looked sideways, and immediately met a pair of indifferent and bloodthirsty eyes.
It was Akhmetov, sitting in a corner with no sense of existence like the air. Before, Liu Changzhi just glanced at him and didn't notice anything abnormal in him. Now he looked at him, and immediately felt the bone cold.
Dangerous, extremely dangerous.
Sweat ran down Liu Changzhi's face, and he suddenly realized that the rumors were probably true.
"On the one hand, of course it is convenient. Mr. Shen is free."
"Laugh. Then you go sit with Liu Sheng, and I will talk to Mr. Murdoch."
"Yes, boss."
The two hunched over and walked away, one was frightened, the other was used to it.
After the two left, Shen Jiannan no longer had his previous cynicism. He looked directly into Murdoch's eyes and stared at him. Under the traction of Qi, Murdoch didn't laugh anymore, and looked directly at Shen Jiannan.
One pair of jet-black eyes is bottomless, and the black ones are as vast as the night sky, and the other pair of yellow-dark eyes are slightly muddy, but it makes it impossible to guess the true thoughts of the owner of the eyes.
After a long time, Shen Jiannan's momentum was closed and he laughed.
"Mr. Murdoch. I think you also know the importance of First Media to Capital One under the stars. I also know its importance to News Corporation. But 100 million Hong Kong dollars is not enough."
Murdoch did not speak, and stretched out two fingers.
"Two hundred million?"
"Yes. But not Hong Kong dollars, US dollars, 200 million US dollars."
Shen Jiannan was startled.
Isn't this his favorite way of acting? I didn't expect Murdoch to like it too. No loss is the top media crocodile, with an amazing amount of 200 million US dollars.
You know, sTaRL invested more than 3.3 billion Hong Kong dollars, News Corporation only gave more than five billion, and CBN under the stars, all the investment, that is, 10 million Hong Kong dollars.
Two hundred million U.S. dollars, a return rate of more than one hundred times, if all converted into cash, can kill people alive.
But the thing about money... is meaningless. Shen Jiannan smiled silently, staring at Murdoch and shook his head.
Murdoch's face instantly became gloomy, and his heart sank.
US$200 million is an astronomical figure. I believe that anyone who hears this number more than ten times higher than expected will be frightened. If the outside world knows that News Corp. will actually acquire No.1 Media under the Stars for US$200 million, it must be There will be an uproar.
He has done a survey, and Capital One won the investment of Star Media, initially only 5 million Hong Kong dollars, 200 million US dollars, this kind of geometric magnification rate of return, enough to make anyone stunned.
However, Shen Jiannan was not moved at all, and directly refused.
Two hundred million US dollars is the limit of funds that News Corporation can allocate. It is impossible to increase the price. Shen Jiannan's attitude also makes it clear that there is no plan to sell.
Murdoch couldn't help feeling a little irritable.
He has done careful strategic planning. If he can win No.1 Media under the Stars, he will use sTaRL as the promotion, merge No.1 Media under the Stars into sTaRL, and merge it into the Star Media Group. As well as the huge investment influence and the resources of sTaRL, I believe it will soon occupy the Asian market.
At that time, any capital in the world who wants to get a share of the Asian market will have to cooperate with News Corp.
but now......
Looking at those dark and deep eyes, Murdoch calmed down and suppressed his anger.
"Mr. Shen, 200 million US dollars, this price, I don't think anyone will be higher than News Corp. You should not refuse."
"Mr. Murdoch is right. Two hundred million dollars, no one will pay this price again."
"why?"
Shen Jiannan didn't speak, Xinchuan Masako knew, holding the tea to help him pour another cup of tea.
Picking up the tea cup, smelling the fragrance of tea, took a sip, the faint lingering fragrance lasted for a long time.
After a few sips, Shen Jiannan smiled faintly.
"I think Mr. Murdoch should know that CBN under the stars also has a good reputation in the entire Asian market. If there is enough capital injection, it can easily establish a brand image in various regions of Asia.
Suppose I win a radio station in Thailand or the Philippines, do programs for free, and expand to other markets with No.1 Media’s main financial speculation column. How long do you think it will take to win the Asian market? "
"Also, I am from Huaxia, and I have always had a good relationship with Huaxia. I believe Mr. Murdoch can also see the great prospects of the Huaxia market. Not long ago, reforms have been carried out there and there are already securities and futures markets. Do you think that based on China's population base, if you enter the China market, what prospects will it have?"
"I can use No.1 Media as the core under the stars to radiate influence from Hong Kong around. Whether it is market analysis or investment and financial management experience, as well as any programs, all are free and open."
"No one doesn't like free programs, right?"
"And we, after we have won all the markets, we can completely create profits with advertising expenses."
"..."
Do programs for free, invade the Asian market, and then to Huaxia, and Huaxia's reforms and the opening of financial markets.
Rupertmurdoch's face has become ugly. The free TV business is a tactic he has contemplated for a long time to enter the Asian market to match the strategic deployment of the Asian market.
However, Shen Jiannan also mentioned free, and even the operation of free has been considered, and it is free for financial investment. Moreover, he is still a Chinese. If First Media under the stars wants to enter the Asian market, it will have many advantages over him as a white man.
Invade the current pay TV market for free, and you will know what the result will be if you think about it.
I came wrong.
Rupertmurdoch couldn't help but smile.
"Mr. Shen, I'm sorry. I don't think we need to talk anymore."
"why?"
Shen Jiannan said in surprise.
"Your vision is very forward-looking and great. Capital One, I don't think it is short of funds. So, do we need to talk about it anymore."
"Thank you Mr. Murdoch for your compliment. As you said, Capital One is not short of funds. Although the company’s assets are only 2 billion US dollars at present, if I want to, I can find major banks to borrow 10 billion US dollars at any time. It is possible to list a part of the company and operate it. I believe it will be no problem at all if it grows several times."
Rupertmurdoch could say nothing, nothing.
Capital One is an investment company, and what it holds is cash. If you want to operate, it is more than just a few times the borrowing of 10 billion US dollars.
Rupertmurdoch couldn't help but stared at Shen Jiannan, his dim eyes were surprisingly serious. He could predict that according to Shen Jiannan's plan, No.1 Media under the stars would be News Corp's biggest enemy in Asia. Whether it is creating a free precedent, or his identity as a yellow race, or a contest in terms of capital, News Corp cannot even take advantage of it.
Reluctantly, Rupertmurdoch put down the tea cup in his hand and stood up.
"Mr. Shen. Thank you very much for your frankness. And thank you for your great refreshments, but I don’t think I need to stay anymore. Sorry!"
After speaking, Rupertmurdoch made an apologetic etiquette, put on his shoes, turned and left.
Since there is no need to talk about it anymore, after going out of the gate, it will be the enemy from now on.
But... do you really have a chance?
A pair of domineering, deep eyes ~EbookFREE.me~ seems to be staring at him, Rupertmurdoch did not notice, his tall and straight body could not help but come downstairs.
It's free...Huaxia people...horrible cash flow, awe-inspiring operational conception, and with such terrifying strength, News Corp. even has no chance of winning.
"Mr. Murdoch, I think, have you misunderstood what I mean? I don't sell it, but it doesn't mean we can't cooperate."
There is another village in the dark.
Rupertmurdoch couldn't help but stop, and when he met those black eyes, his face became extremely cautious.
Because he suddenly realized that the negotiations he thought had ended, in fact, had just begun, and his voluntary abandonment meant that he had lost the initiative.
What a terrible young man!
