Chapter 604
"Dawrig I'm very serious about talking to you."
"Then I'm also very serious about telling you that cooperation is fine, but acquisition is off the table." Dawlieg shook his head.
At this time, Li Linfei interjected, "Mr. Dawlieg, at the risk of asking, what is the current value of your news group?"
"Mr. Li, this is a commercial secret!" Douliege said with a snort.
"My guess is that it's around forty billion dollars." Li Linfei said carelessly.
The wealth created by News Corporation since its inception was certainly more than forty billion dollars, but every year the shareholders had to pay dividends, leaving behind that portion of the capital and industry, which was probably just about that much.
A flash of surprise crossed Dawrig's face and he was just about to speak when Li Linfei stepped in front of him.
"We came to talk to you today with sincerity, if you think it's okay, you can go back and gather the shareholders and inform them that I am willing to pay $50 billion in cash to buy News Corp, in cash, how about that, enough sincerity?"
"This ......" Dawliq hesitated, this boldness and means of Li Linfei made his heart flutter.
"Or put it this way, Mr. Dawlieg, if you are willing to help me lead, I am also willing to give you a part of the shares of the future technology branch." Li Linfei said.
"That, forget about the shares, I think cash would be more appropriate." Douliege gave a laugh.
Fried couldn't help but puff out a laugh as he listened on the sidelines. How stupid should someone be who was actually willing to ask for cash instead of shares in the Future Technology branch?
Of course, Douglas didn't know the potential of Super Dimension Technology, and it was actually normal to ask for cash.
Douglas said, "Gentlemen, let me think about it."
Li Linfei nodded, he had plenty of time, after all, this matter was too big to think about, but Li Linfei gave a strong dose of medicine.
Only to hear Li Linfei say, "Mr. Daw Liege, have you heard of the 5D movie mode?"
Douglas nodded, as a film giant, of course he had heard of it.
"Fried, I just passed you a video file, you can pass it to Mr. Dawrig to take a look, I think he will change his mind." Lilinfei said.
"Okay, boss." Fried said, and took out his phone to receive the file, and then passed it to Douglas.
Dawlieg took out his phone and downloaded it, it was Future Technology Linmin Entertainment's "The Legend of the Spiritual Fox", but looking at the picture he hadn't really seen it before, was this the 5D movie mode?
Still think about it? No need to consider at all, the shock is great, 5D film mode, is the breakthrough bottleneck for all film and television companies, if they themselves.
So immediately said, "Fried, Mr. Lee, I don't need to consider it."
"What do you mean?" Fried frowned at him, did he have to react so much after watching the movie?
Li Linfei gave him a look.
"Don't get me wrong, what I mean is, what Mr. Li just proposed, I agree, and, I also want what benefits, as long as Mr. Li you can not mind being friends with me, then the rest of the shareholders there shares, I will try my best to help you get it done, just this technology ......!"
After the words, Dawrig's eyes glittered at Su Cheng, waiting for his answer, I have to say that the 5D movie technology sucked really big.
"This ......" Fried's eyes amazed, what is all this with what, watched a movie, Dawrig's transformation so big, still don't want the benefit, he is stupid?
"Don't worry, the acquisition will be given." Li Linfei said with a smile.
Off to the side, Freed was a little confused.
"What the hell are you two talking about?"
"Fried you wouldn't understand?" Fried said.
"What I wouldn't understand, say it clearly." Fried said.
"I can't understand with you, so don't ask." Lirinfel said.
Lirinfel spoke up and Freed stopped asking.
"Mr. Dawrig, I heard what you said just now, you want to backtrack now ......"
"No, Mr. Li, I don't back out, I've always been a man of my word." Douglas waved his hand in a hurry.
"Good then, from now on, we are friends." Li Linfei smiled faintly and extended his right hand.
Dawliq was overjoyed, and when he saw Li Linfei's hand outstretched, he also warmly stretched out his hands to catch his right hand and shook it with him.
A few minutes ago, Douglas was still hesitant, but after watching the 5D movie, he agreed to Li Linfei very quickly.
"In that case, Douglas, don't leave now, sit down and let's discuss the details together?" Freed suggested from the side.
Douglas shook his head and said, "This won't work, I'm now going to attend a party, or dinner, for the upper echelons of Hollywood film and television companies, the party is at 8.30pm, there will be many Hollywood celebrities and film and television shareholders present at this party."
Chapter 605
Speaking here, Douglas paused and continued and added, "Mr. Lee, the meal and the wine, we should save for later, if you want to take over News Corp completely, tonight would be a good time to do so."
"Oh? There are a lot of News Corp shareholders going?" Lilinfei asked. "That's right."
Douglas nodded.
Fried raised an eyebrow and asked in a small voice, "Hey, Doug, are there any pretty girls?"
"Oh, that's for sure, there are thousands of people attending the party and numerous Hollywood stars of all sizes will be there."
"That's got to be seen." Freed said lewdly.
Since Douglas had explained the situation, this party was a must for Li Linfei to go to.
The purpose was not to go to see the actress, but to get this mission of acquiring News Corporation completed.
The design of the large series of cross-harbour tunnels was something that Li Linfei coveted. Without hesitation, after settling the bill, Freed, together with Li Linfei and led by Douglas, soon arrived by car in the suburbs of Los Angeles, where Hollywood is located.
The vehicle pulled up in front of a small three-storey building, which was not very tall, but from the outside, one could see that it covered a wide area.
Stepping inside, there was no impediment to taking Fried and Lilinfei to the party, as Douglas was the president of News Corporation.
However, while passing through the invitation verification doorway, Lirinfei came across someone who looked familiar.
She was dressed in a white gown, elegant and moving in the hazy light.
A bun of slightly curly hair was draped loosely over her shoulders, looking feminine.
"Miss, please take a closer look, there's me, there's definitely me."
At the door greeting, Fan Binbin looked at a black welcoming woman with an anxious look on her face.
She had just left in a hurry when she arrived, so she had forgotten to take the invitation, thinking that there should be a name registration at the party, so she came straight over.
However, what messed her up was that her name was not written here. And this party, for regular guests, without a name on the list, you can't get in.
She had been in the US for a month and a half after taking a break from film for over a year because of tax evasion, and then breaking up a month ago, and in that month and a half she had been busy with work more than just getting out and relaxing.
If she couldn't get into the party today, then all her efforts over the past month or so would have been in vain.
Thinking of this, Fan Binbin was so anxious that her face turned red as a result.
"Sorry Miss, there really isn't your name." The black welcoming woman looked through the gift book again and found that she was indeed not there.
"It can't be, did you miss it, double check." Fan Binbin frowned.
"Sorry, there really isn't one." The black welcoming woman shook her head.
Seeing this, Fan Binbin was a little distressed and probed towards the inside, her eyes flickering, she tried to barge in.
However, instead, a security guard came running from the doorway and blocked her way.
"Ugh ......" She had no choice but to let out a discouraging sigh and pace the doorway in a despondent mood.
And just as she was getting annoyed, a voice, swirled in her ears.
"Yo, Big Star Fan, why are you being blocked from entering?" Li Linfei stepped over, with Douglas and Fried following behind him.
Fan Binbin glanced at Li Linfei, not recognising him, thinking he had come to see him in a good light; after all, life and work had been at a low ebb emotionally for a year, and there were plenty of people who saw him as a joke.
"Sir, I don't know you."
Her mood was already bad, and being taunted by Li Linfei like this, she was even more a bit angry.
"Why are you so mean, don't you want to go in?" Li Linfei looked at her with a smile.
"What's it to you if I go in or not?"
"So angry, it must have been a bad year." Li Linfei said.
"Whatever you want to say is up to you." Fan Binbin said.
"I'm not mocking you, come on, I'll take you in." Li Linfei said.
"You're taking me in, who are you?" Fan Binbin asked.
"Future Technology Li Linfei." Li Linfei said.
"Li Linfei, I've heard of it, what gives you the right to take me in?" Fan Binbin asked as his face eased up.
"On the strength of him, News Corporation President Daw Liege." Li Linfei pointed at Daw Liege and said.
Seeing that Li Linfei was pointing at him, Dawlieg came forward and said with a smile, "Mr. Li, this lady is your friend?"
"Sort of."
Lilinfei asked, "You can take her in with you, right?"
"Sure, small problem."
Douliege nodded and looked at Fan Binbin and said, "Miss, my name is Douliege, may I take the liberty of asking your name?"
Chapter 606
Fan Binbin's eyes hovered between Li Linfei and Daolig, amazement and apprehension in her eyes in equal measure.
Li Linfei she knew was the boss of Future Technology, but he was in the technology business and Fan Binbin was not too keen on him.
However, this foreigner in front of her was a different story... Dawrig! Of course she knew this man, he was a giant in the American film and television industry, no worse than being one of the six major Hollywood film companies.
The most clear to her is the famous Times is one of the industries of News Corporation, the Times influence is how big this many people know.
More information, Fan Binbin did not know, but she was clear that Dawrig was the kind of Hollywood or even in the United States is one of the giants that can influence the landscape of film and television.
"Hello Mr. Dawrig, my name is Fan Bingbing, you can call me Fan Bingbing," Fan Bingbing had many thoughts on her mind, but she did not dare to be careless and shook hands with Dawrig in a hurry.
"And Fan Bingbing, the English name is so funny, it's just the English of the name." Li Linfei bristled from the sidelines.
Dawlieg laughed and chose to be silent, while Fan Bingbing choked on his remark.
Unhappily, she glared at Li Linfei, but she didn't have the guts to contradict him at this point.
After all, this guy Li Linfei seemed to have a good relationship with Dawlieg, and if she confronted Li Linfei at this moment and upset him, then she would definitely not be able to get inside even if she cried to the heavens.
So, she chose to shut up and not say anything either.
"Mr Li, the party is about to start, shall we go in?" Douglas asked.
"Hmm." Su Cheng nodded, swept a glance at Fan Binbin, and then went inside.
Fried and Dawlieg followed closely behind, while Fan Binbin followed in the middle, also blending in easily.
On the outside, the small building did not look like much of a decoration, but once inside, one would find that it was something else.
Strings of crystal lamps hung from the roof, illuminating the party hall as brightly as daylight, the floor was covered with a large red carpet, the walls were snow-white, and the huge marble pillars were engraved with mythical creatures from ancient Egypt, the whole party hall was decorated in a noble but elegant way.
At this moment, there were many people here, men and women, most of them, were seated next to a crystal round table, the men were talking and laughing, the women were wooing and whining, interesting stories could be heard here from time to time.
Looking around, Li Linfei met a number of famous international film stars. However, he noticed narcissistically that none of the men seemed as handsome as him, while most of the women were beautiful.
"Mr. Li, Mr. Dawrig, thank you, I have some business to attend to, so I'll leave first." Fan Binbin entered the party hall and said his goodbyes.
Identifying the direction, he then quickly left the sight of Li Linfei's few people.
"Mr Li, our location, it's one floor above." At this moment, Dawlieg said to Li Linfei.
Subsequently, under his guidance, the three of them, together with Li Linfei, arrived at a slightly smaller gathering hall on the first floor.
At this moment, there were already fifty to sixty people here, and after Douglas entered, many of them greeted him.
Even Freed, too, drew some enthusiastic climbing, but only Li Linfei, after many people curiously looked at him, found that they did not have any impression, so no one came to greet him.
Li Linfei did not mind this, he was not a man who craved for attention, he always followed the philosophy of being low profile, and if you can't be low profile, then be high profile.
Settling down at a crystal table, after dealing with some friends from his circle, Dawrig came and took his seat next to Lilienfei as Fried and a good-looking yokel, chatted and laughed.
"Mr Lee, I took the liberty of asking you a question."
"Well, speak." Li Linfei looked at Freed.
He said, "How many shares of News Corporation are you planning to acquire? Tell me so I can do the math for you."
"No less than eighty per cent."
"Eighty percent?" Douglas frowned and pondered for a moment.
Then he said, "I have twenty-five percent of News Corporation in my hand, among the shareholders here now, that guy Yuri has the most shares in his hand, twenty-one percent, second only to me, and the rest of the people combined should have thirty percent, so in this calculation, there is still a shortfall of at least fourteen percent."
Hearing this, Li Linfei's face sank.
When Douglas saw his expression, he hurriedly said, "But Mr Li, don't worry, we are friends, since I have promised to help you complete your acquisition, I will definitely be able to do it, please trust me."
Li Linfei nodded slightly.
Soon, the waiter brought the meal to the table and Fried also sat over with the big foreign girl, after having a glass of wine.
Douliege's eyes darted around and said, "Mr. Li, let me discuss something with you."
"Go ahead." Li Linfei picked up a fork in his left hand and a knife in his right, cutting into a steak.
"The portion of my shares in News Corporation, I would like to ...... exchange it for shares in Future Technology."
Douglas looked at Li Linfei's expression and, seeing that he was relatively bland, added, "You can just give me five percent."
"Pfft ......" Upon hearing this, Fried, who was sipping his red wine, directly spat out his wine.
