Sun God Marvel Chapter 1308: Media Emperor Ribo Xishan
Sumner. Red Stone, someone called him the media emperor.
His life is full of legends. The birth of the poor made him have to work **** the battlefield. He even had the title of World War II hero after participating in World War II. After World War II, he devoted himself to the media field and began to work hard in this field. Starting a business from the age of thirty to almost sixty. His life is uncommon, and the company he is trying to manage does not move at all. According to this trend, even if he is to death, it is impossible to be a media emperor. But when he was fifty-eight, a fire changed everything.
He was severely burned and almost killed. But he didn't die because of this, but instead regarded it as an opportunity for his life to change. That is, when he was sixty years old, he began his miracle life.
At the age of sixty-three, the property was changed to acquire Viacom, which was not famous at the time, and it was developed all the way until it acquired Paramount at the age of 70. Then, at the age of 76, he bought CBS Television Network for $ 46 billion. Up to here, Viacom has become the world's top media company in his hands, and he himself has become a well-deserved legendary tycoon in the entire media industry.
Such a special experience naturally brought him great reputation. He is called the media emperor. In this company he built by himself, he has always said one thing. Even now, he is old and retreating behind the scenes, he still has such confidence. He believes that as long as he says so, shareholders will respond to his move. But unfortunately, things are not what he thought.
Almost at the moment when he expressed his position, some shareholders began to sing back against him.
"Mr. Lei Shidong, I think you need to know. Our earnings last year fell sharply. We have been in a downturn on the stock market, and even said that before the shareholder turmoil, our stock price even fell. 25%. What this means, you should be very clear. And now, the turmoil in the stock market is intensifying, and our losses are also expanding. If we do not accept such a premium purchase at this time, to make up Given the losses of our shareholders, how long do you think we shareholders can persist? "
"This is not the reason for you to betray the company, sir. You should know that the company ’s decline is only temporary, and the world is affected by the turmoil. We will recover, and by that time, the company ’s earnings will be sufficient to fill Your loss today. All you have to do is wait, nothing more. "
Lei Shidong ’s voice cannot be ignored, but this does not mean that he will change his mind because of them. As a man known as the emperor, Lei Shidong naturally has far more arrogance than ordinary people. So he refuted it almost immediately, even saying that he was almost using a strong tone to oppress these so-called shareholders.
He thought he could do this, and as long as his attitude was strong enough, these shareholders would absolutely not be able to ignore their opinions. It's just a pity that this idea was feasible in the past, but it is completely unfeasible today.
Viacom has developed to this day, even if he is the founder, it is already impossible to completely control such a large group. He has a lot of shares, but it is absolutely impossible to pass other shareholders to determine the direction of the entire group. At this time, once some shareholders have begun to clearly state their attitudes, his words will not Then there is the weight of the past.
"Wait, Mr. Lei Shidong. We have no time to wait. Our losses are so heavy, and even our assets have been affected. Instead of wasting time on this, there is no future waiting. On the top, we would rather reach this exchange now. At least by doing so, our losses can be compensated, and even said that we may still make a small profit. "
Someone said something like this, and naturally, someone followed suit. That's not one or two people saying so, but many people are saying so. And when these people come together, the power they represent is enough to determine the future of the Viacom Group.
This is something Lei Shidong never thought of. He never thought that he would get such a complete betrayal at this time. This made his heart filled with anger, so that his reason was a powerful shock.
At this time, he really wanted to yell at the shareholders who violated him, but Sani told him that he must never do this.
Doing so will only push these shareholders completely to the opposite side, and once they stand completely opposite to him, then he will be even more powerless. At this time, he must have the support of the majority of shareholders, and to get such support, he must promise them an absolutely achievable benefit, as he did before.
This is not a problem in the past, because the world in the past was a gold mine. A big capitalist like him only needs to wave a pick to dig out a big piece of gold. But now, the United States has become this way, and the vast majority of companies can only be self-protection. He certainly can't achieve the level he has done in the past.
At this time, he can only promise a blank check. And can a blank cheque impress these old gangsters? He knew the answer without thinking at all.
Did you say that the hard work that you have worked hard all your life would be reduced to the hands of others like this? This idea had just risen in his heart, and it had already chilled his entire heart. He must not allow things to become like this, he must not let his efforts go into the hands of others. He must stop all this, he must let such terrible things stop.
But what should he do? After all, Lei Shidong, who is in his eighties, is already an old man. His energy is not as good as before, and his brain is not as active as before. At such a time, he could not even think of a reasonable way to break the game. However, after all, he is the media emperor, after all, he is that legendary character. Even if the brain is not enough, the experience and experience are enough to point him in the direction.
There is a saying that the ringer must be the person who answers the bell. He knows that his predicament on the board today is entirely caused by the shareholders who are playing against her. So if you want to open up the situation, I am afraid you have to work hard from these people. That shareholder, the guy who represented the consortium that once invested in Viacom, is the direction he needs to work.
He knows this in his heart. He can't care about the hypocrisy at this time. He almost made the carriage clear, and said to the guy who has been singing back against him.
"Sir, I do n’t know what you or the people behind you think. But what I want to tell you is, do n’t make me a fool. Yes, the current situation in the United States is very bad, but like It ’s a guy like you who has billions of dollars, and he will never get to the point where he wants to ruin his family because of this kind of turmoil. This is not the reason you used to fool me, nor the excuse you used to betray Viacom. What do you want, tell me, as long as I can afford the price, I will pay it as a price for the preservation of Viacom. "
"Save Viacom? Mr. Red Stone, do n’t you understand? We do this to make Viacom better."
There is a meaningful smile on his face, the shareholder who has been singing the opposite is saying so.
"The current center of the world is no longer the United States. Whether we admit it or not, this point will not change. And Viacom as an American company, most of its markets are almost established in the United States. This was the foundation of his success in the past. But now, all this will only be a drag on Viacom. The best way to develop Viacom is to open up the mainland market across the ocean. Of course, you and me We all know that this cannot be achieved by our power alone. That market determines his restrictions. To open up there, there must be a special opportunity. And now, this special opportunity has already been put in place. It's in front of us. So why don't we catch him as much as we can, but instead reject him as you said? This is not in line with our interests ~ IndoMTL.com ~ Don't forget, We are capitalists, capitalists should not be hostile to their own interests! "
An extremely good reason came out of his mouth, but it made Lei Shidong more angry. He admits that this sentence makes sense, but this is his business, something he created by himself. Its future should not be determined by these so-called capitalists, but by himself. And he could never accept such a decision.
"I said, what is the price? I would rather pay such a price, and never let you dominate the future of Viacom. It is mine, and only I own this right."
"Why, do you think so?" There was a sneer on his face, and the shareholder said to him disdainfully. "I'm sorry, Mr. Lei Shidong. I don't think you can afford such a price. This is a joint decision of several big consortia. We hope to use this opportunity to open the door of that country. You are chosen as your Lucky. Of course, if you are not willing to accept this kind of luck, then I can only say that this will be your misfortune. "
"Every shareholder here is a witness. Can you ask them if they are willing to support you and stay on this broken ship that keeps them losing their profits? Or are they willing to work together with our consortium to develop a What about the new century? "
