Chapter 604 The richest writer(2/2)

Musk, who was later generations, tried his best to help comrades in the founding country to regain their title as the king of America, which is more sufficient to declare the importance of media and influence.

Therefore, Lin Chaoyang did not object to Tao Yushu's idea.

Even if the paper media declines in the future, they will not keep holding on to the company's equity until they die.

His reminder made Tao Yushu suddenly wake up. She couldn't help but smile and said, "I'm really confused, I'm a little timid before the fight."

Lin Chaoyang gently held her hand, "You are facing a news giant who has been famous for many years. It is also appropriate to consider it carefully, mainly not to put too much pressure on yourself."

Tao Yushu nodded slightly, with a reassuring smile on his face.

"When did you say Murdoch will contact me again?"

"It shouldn't be too long. The longer the battle line is, the easier it is for his wishful thinking to be exposed."

The day after saying this, Tao Yushuzhen received a call from Murdoch from the United States. More than a month had passed since the last meeting between the two.

This time, Murdoch called me, still to buy Star TV, so he raised the acquisition price.

The 51% equity of South China Morning Post Group, $600 million in cash and $100 million in Fox's stock proposed during the last meal. Murdoch provided another $100 million in stock this time, which seemed to be sincere in purchasing.

Especially Murdoch offers Fox stock.

When people mention Fox in later generations, the first thing they think of was Fox Film Company and then Fox TV. In fact, both companies are affiliated with Fox Company.

In 1984, Neijiang occurred in Fox Company. Mike Ritchie, the company's major shareholder, was preparing to escape from the investigation by the US Income Agency.

Due to a desperate need of cash, Ritchie was forced to sell half of his stake in Fox to another major shareholder, Davis, for a low price of $116 million.

Davis, who acquired all the equity of Fox, did not develop the company well. Because several major productions failed one after another, Fox suffered heavy losses, Davis decided to resell half of Fox's equity.

This gave Murdoch an opportunity to seek entry into Hollywood and American television businesses.

In 1985, Murdoch purchased half of Fox's equity for $250 million, becoming Fox's largest shareholder and actual controller, and then he founded Fox TV.

In just a few years, Fox TV became the fourth largest TV network in the United States, and this year it defeated CBS at a high price to get the broadcast rights of the NFL.

As the most important sport in the United States, football has won its broadcast event contract, which also means that Fox TV's rise in the American television industry is unstoppable.

The good development momentum has made Fox one of News Corp.

Lin's Pictures has been contributing to the US market in recent years, and Murdoch's move is also considered to be a favorite among Tao Yushu.

Faced with Murdoch's sincerity, Tao Yushu pretended to hesitate and once again explained the importance of Star TV to her career. Finally, he "rejected" Murdoch's request with regret.

After hanging up the phone, Tao Yushu was not happy because Murdoch took the initiative to raise the quotation, but instead felt the pressure.

The more Murdoch raised his quotation at any cost, the more he proved that he was determined to win the goal. It was not pleasant to be coveted by an international media giant.

But Tao Yushu had a premonition that this time it was likely to be an important opportunity for her industry to move internationally.

After this phone call, the end of the year is approaching, and the family flew back to Yanjing as in previous years.

"Why is Yushu so busy today?"

On New Year's Eve, the family was making dumplings, but Tao Yushu called with the phone for more than half an hour, without any intention of hanging up the phone.

While rolling the dough, Zhang Guiqin looked in the direction of Tao Yushu with concern.

"The company is too big, there are many things to do, so it's normal for Yushu to be busy," said Lin Chaoyang.

"You don't know how to help her share the burden!"

Zhang Guiqin's tone was a bit of blame.

"I've shared the burden, why didn't I share it?"

But Zhang Guiqin said, "It sounds nice."

Lin Chaoyang:—·

Is this still a real mother?

"My mother-in-law, you can't say that. Yushu often tells me that Chaoyang has given her many suggestions in her career.

Yushu has that kind of personality, she likes to rush forward in everything she does. Chaoyang is a character of planning and then moving. With him, Yushu can be more at ease."

Lin Chaoyang cast a grateful look at Tao's mother. Finally, someone saw his contribution to this family, but he never expected that this person was his mother-in-law.

Zhang Guiqin started chatting with Tao's mother. Lin Chaoyang couldn't help but feel curious when he saw Tao Yushu's phone call. Tao Yushu wouldn't have been calling for such a long time when he was a normal official phone call.

He washed his hands and came to Tao Yushu. Tao Yushu looked at him and signaled him to wait.

She spoke for another three or four minutes before hanging up the phone.

"What happened?" Lin Chaoyang asked.

"The first weekend of "Broken Arrow" came out, with $28.85 million," said Tao Yushu.

"Broken Arrow" is an action movie produced by Lin and Twentieth Century Fox in the United States, with an investment of up to 5,000 yuan.

Ten thousand dollars, directed by John Woo.

Lin Chaoyang smiled and said, "That's pretty good. It seems like he's going for $60 million in the first week."

"Yes, this is the best result that Lin's American family has achieved so far. The total box office in North America may exceed $150 million and enter the top few of the annual box office rankings."

Tao Yushu was full of joy when he spoke, but Lin Chaoyang wondered that even if "Broken Arrow" created box office history for Lin's family, it would not be said to be so long.

"There is something else?"
