1397 Herbert's death(2/2)
In 1983, News Corporation began to get involved in the satellite field and founded Sky Channel Company in the United Kingdom. Due to lack of experience, Sky Channel soon died. This time News Corporation lost 20 million US dollars. Merkel was not discouraged. In 1989, News Corporation
The group also founded Sky TV in the UK. In 1990, the TV station merged with the British Satellite Broadcasting Company to form British Sky Broadcasting Company (bskyb) controlled by News Corporation.
In 1991, News Corporation struck out for the second time. Affected by the Gulf War and the global economic recession, its satellite television network burned through US$2 million per week. Eventually, the company's debt reached US$8 billion, and News Corporation was on the verge of bankruptcy. Here
Under these circumstances, Moker had to sell its magazine and printing businesses, but Moker did not slow down the pace of establishing satellite television networks around the world.
News Corporation's substantial rapid development began with the purchase of 19.9% of Hughes Electronics from General Motors, and then acquired absolute controlling stake in DirectV. 12.2 million users, 30 billion U.S. dollars
With annual output value and TV networks covering every corner of the earth, Mokoduo has completed the strategic layout of establishing its own global satellite TV network.
News Corporation is one of the world's largest media groups, with extensive investments in satellite television, cable TV and interactive television. At the same time, News Corporation is also the world's leading pay TV platform operator, owning British Sky Broadcasting Company (bskyb)
, American Direct TV Group (DirectTV) and Australian Foxtel (Foxtel), etc.
Among them, British Sky Broadcasting Company is recognized as the most successful digital pay TV operator in the world. By June 2004, its live satellite users had reached 7.4 million; while the US Live TV Group had more than 12.2 million users.
In Australia, Fox Australia has 800,000 satellite and cable subscribers. In Asia, Star Media occupies a leading position in the satellite TV market, growing from 5 channels in 1991 to the current 7 languages.
, broadcast on more than 40 channels, covering more than 300 million viewers in 53 countries and regions, with up to 25,000 hours of original programs every year.
In 1998, 18% of Fox's shares were successfully listed in the United States, completing the first step of Moker's goal. At the end of 2004, News Corporation was successfully listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Under this circumstance, it is no longer necessary to retain two listed companies.
If it can successfully recover all Fox shares, it means that Mockert has realized the strategy of "taking advantage of the curve" and still maintains the integrity of News Corporation.
Recently, News Corporation has made a series of strategic transactions.
In July 2005, News Corporation announced that it had signed an agreement to acquire intermix media company for US$580 million in cash to develop the Internet news blog and community network market. Through this acquisition, this company controlled by Mokoduo obtained excellent "fashion"
Portal” website myspace.com.
According to the agreement, Intermix has acquired 47% of the equity of the myspace.com website that it does not already own. The myspace.com website and more than 30 other sites owned by Intermix will be merged into the Fox Interactive Media Division of News Corporation.
After the completion of the agreement, News Corporation's number of monthly Internet users in the United States will nearly double to more than 45 million. As an intermix company website that mainly provides entertainment, mood, games and community network services, as well as pictures, music and video appreciation, its website
The total number of users has reached 27 million.
Mokoduo said that the acquisition of intermix is very important to News Corporation because it will not only immediately double the number of users of the group, but also provide a good foundation for the group to expand its network business; such as myspace.com and other intermix companies
Intermix's brands are some of the most popular on the site and are easily accessible to users who enjoy Fox's news, sports and entertainment services; combining Intermix's brands with our existing online brands is a great opportunity to provide
Today's Internet users are provided with a wider range of services.
In September 2025, News Corporation, controlled by Mokodu, acquired Ign, an online video game company, for US$650 million. The company's affiliated websites include gamespy.com, ign.com and teamxbox.com. It also owns two entertainment websites, including
The rottentomatoes.com website is popular among movie fans.
News Corp. has made several acquisitions in recent months, and Mr. Mercado said the company's current priority is expanding its online market.
"Haha, it is indeed a good group. How about the news media unit of our group?" Li Cong spent a few minutes looking at News Group's information and felt that such a huge News Group should be his own.
, it is really an inconvenience to put it in the hands of Mo Keduo.
"Boss, I have to tell the truth, our news media is not on the same level as these. Our news media is currently only slightly influential in Asia. Look at these super large and influential newspapers around the world.
, has nothing to do with us at all." No. 1 said honestly, what News Corporation needs is a background, which is not something you can have if you have money. For example, a reporter. Compared with a new reporter compared with an old reporter,
But there is a big gap. Old reporters may make news about even a small matter, while new reporters can only run around.
"Haha, that's it. You go make arrangements and let our people start paying attention to News Corporation. I will personally direct the acquisition later. How many assets do you think News Corporation has?" Li Cong estimated that this time it will be needed
It uses a lot of funds.
"News Corporation's current various industries add up to at least 390 billion euros. It is an absolutely powerful group, but their large group also has big disadvantages, that is, they are not a whole, just like the current network and newspapers.
They are opposites, and we can start from within, which is very beneficial to our acquisition." No. 1 said that the competition between emerging media and traditional media within News Corporation is not a day or two.
A report stated that the rapid development of smartphones and tablets has gradually made the Internet the most popular way to obtain news.
Cable news viewership dropped 14% last year from the year before. In addition, viewership for CNN, Fox News Channel and MSNBC declined for the first time since the project began tracking the survey.
Just when Li Cong was thinking about this problem, the door opened, and Herbert was no longer inside. It was exactly as Li Cong expected. According to the satellite display of the Investigation Department, a corpse was found just now.
After being carried out, there is still no way to confirm whether the guy is Herbert, but there is a high probability that there will be no problem.
"Mr. Li, Mr. Herbert has left early due to health reasons. When he left just now, he signed a transfer agreement with our group. Now the shares of Europa Financial Group belong to our News Group. I believe Mr. Li does not agree with this.
You'll be surprised." Mo Keduo said with a smile. He was very scared just now, but he didn't expect that Li Cong would be defeated by him. Those people who were afraid of Li Cong just didn't dare to pick up the hot yam, but he didn't
I'm afraid. Anyway, I've already faced off with Li Cong. What's wrong with taking his tens of billions of euros in shares? This is a very simple matter. Of course, the most important thing is that what I need is to make Li Cong look bad.
"Very good, that's right. Anyway, I gave those things to Mr. Herbert. You can just keep them. It seems that I don't have any need to stay here anymore. This is your own meeting. Then
I have to leave first." Li Cong said with a smile. Everyone didn't understand why Li Cong could laugh at this time. In fact, Li Cong's subordinates had already reported and verified that the man just now was Herbert. Now Li Cong put Herbert
The news that Te was killed by these people spread to Herbert's family. Herbert's family is not a soft persimmon. At this time, their family's special forces have begun to clamor to come here. If they don't
If you leave, you will probably be in trouble. It's pity for such a room of people. I don't know how many people will be able to escape in a while. Of course, Mo Keduo will definitely not be able to escape. Li will never give him
Opportunistic.
No one thought why Li Cong would be so easy to talk. Has the world's richest man, who was so powerful before, disappeared? Li Cong added tens of billions of euros in gifts to Herbert in addition to the Zheng E plan. Could it be that
So give up? Don’t want any of this? This is not Li Cong’s style.
Herbert's death will definitely bring a huge shock to Europa. Li Cong will definitely get the greatest benefit from the shock. The Skull and Bones Society has to marvel at this guy Li Cong after knowing all of Li Cong's plans.
His ability is indeed better than others. In the subsequent internal strife, it can be said that it was He Bite's death that caused the split of Europa.
Five hours later, "Sir, we have obtained the latest intelligence. Dozens of people were killed in the gun battle in the Europa Parliament just now. Now less than ten people have escaped, and the Herbert family's special operations force has been completely wiped out."
"Karelina said with a report. She really couldn't believe that such a thing would happen. Generally, such high-level organizations should not have such scenes of fighting. It should be done step by step by political groups.
When it started working, I really didn’t expect that something like this would happen.
"Haha, when they killed Herbert, they should have thought about what was going on. Now it is their turn. They brought this on themselves. Did too many scholars die?" Regarding the others, Li Cong
They don't care much about it. First of all, those people are not the patriarchs of their families. Even if there are problems with those people, the whole family will not get over it immediately. For themselves, there is no benefit, but there are many Mohists here.
It's different. If something happens to this kid, there won't be many people in the whole family who can stand up. This is mainly because the father and son don't have a good face towards the family members. Now that something happened to them,
It would be nice not to come out to celebrate.
"He is dead. The European branch of our group has also started to acquire the entire News Corporation. It is estimated that it will only cost less than 130 billion euros to acquire. And because Europa currently has no resistance at all, we
The speed will be 30% faster." Karelina said with a smile. She was very happy for every success her husband achieved. At this moment, she understood why Li Cong treated Herbert before.
Well, even though tens of billions of euros have been spent, the results are absolutely brilliant. Not only has the entire Europa been destroyed, but News Corporation has also been gained. Europa will be in decline for at least a year and a half.
"Sir, I believe there is another best thing that will make you excited. Taking advantage of this chaos, we may get the entire Louvre." Karelina reported such great good news, which made her
Li Cong also stood up, what did he say? This was his former palace, why did he get it into his own hands?
It turns out that there is a family in Europa that runs these things. Although on the surface these monuments belong to the government, they are all for the common people. In fact, only a few people know who they belong to, just like the Louvre.
Similarly, there is an area that is not open to the public, but it has always been the family's private land.
The Louvre is one of the oldest, largest, and most famous museums in the world. It is located on the north bank (right bank) of the Seine River in the center of Paris, France. It was first built in 1204 and has been expanded and renovated to its current size after more than 800 years. The Louvre
The floating palace covers an area of about 45 hectares (including lawns), and the building covers an area of 4.8 hectares. The total length is 680 meters. Its overall building is in a "u" shape and is divided into new and old parts. The old one was built in
During the Louis XIV period, the new one was built in the Napoleonic era. The pyramid-shaped glass entrance in front of the palace was designed by the Chinese architect Ieoh Ming Pei. At the same time, the Louvre is also the oldest royal palace in French history.
Even Li Cong, who had always been displeased with having such a good thing, was now very happy. This thing cannot be bought even with money.
The Louvre Museum has a very tortuous and complicated history, which is intricately intertwined with the history of Paris and France. Of course, people come here to see the world-famous art treasures with their own eyes, but they also want to
Look at the Louvre building itself, because it is not only a great artistic masterpiece, but also a witness to the history of France in the past thousand years. 50 French kings and queens once lived here, and many famous artists lived here.
Li Cong rushed here as soon as possible. The original owner here was dead, but his son and daughter were still looking at the palace very reluctantly. This was the place where they grew up before, but because of their father's death, this palace
He was occupied by a more powerful big shot, and that big shot was Li Cong in front of him.
Li Cong wanted to go over and tell them, you shouldn't bear grudges against me. It's because your father squandered too much money and he owed me money. I can only take over your house, but Li Cong looked at it.
They looked so pitiful that they were a bit speechless.
