"Good evening, Robert. Didn't I disturb you?"
Andy lies on the boss's chair, his feet on the desk in his study, holding his cell phone, and says with a smile.
“。。。 Hello, Andy, it's almost noon over there. Call me at this time. What can I do for you? "
To be honest, Robert Murdoch really doesn't like to deal with Andy Smith, the little fox who cheated on him. Although Murdoch admits Andy's genius and ability, he doesn't like him at all. However, in words, people are in the Jianghu. As an old fox, Murdoch clearly knows that business competition is business competition, and he is in the same class, even if how much Don't like each other, at least face to go.
Moreover, Murdoch doesn't want to be hostile to Andy Smith. After all, Andy is too young, especially his family background, personal ability, and the media empire that has formed. As long as Andy Smith doesn't die himself, I'm afraid that in a few years, a new generation of new people will replace the old ones as the media says He was crowned king in the media.
Thinking of his children, Murdoch was really worried about the future of News Corporation, a warship he had founded. Especially now there is a greedy and bloodthirsty wolf cub. He didn't believe that the hungry wolf, who has grown up slowly, would be able to keep its own place. After all, the market is so big.
In the past period, NBC TV station has begun to rise again, squeezing the market share of several other TV stations. As of April, the operating revenue of news group in the past six months was US $30.4 billion, with a net loss of US $3.3 billion, a year-on-year decrease of US $8.7 billion. Although the loss of news group is mainly due to asset impairment, there are several reasons About 4.6 billion US dollars is the impairment of intangible assets of TV business. The market is so large. In addition to the financial crisis, the advertising revenue can not support the higher and higher program production or purchase costs. In addition, the audience's attention is fragmented, and they are not loyal to a channel at all. They are only loyal to a brand of programs. NBC's rebirth, a lot of money is spent on the production of TV series I can only force other TV stations to compete with NBC...
It's really the wolf!
"Haha, it's nothing, but I heard that you want to sell private islands. No, I'm ready to buy an island for Ivana's birthday and the birth of her child..."
"Sell the island? Which one? " Murdoch's unexpected and suspicious question came from his mobile phone.
"Lanai, Hawaii." Andy said the lie with his eyes open.
"Ha ha, Andy's joke is not funny at all. It's not for sale." At the moment, Murdoch, wearing a nightgown and sitting on a chair in his study, said with a light smile and a slight squint of his eyes. He seemed to see the clear water like mint green, the white and shining sand beach in the sun, the passionate hula dance and the rolling volcanoes... He thought of the dreamlike beauty of the hulop Bay, and there were dolphins flying around in the sea, holding hands with Wendy, enjoying the beautiful sunset scene and indulging in the memory.
Lanai is a "garden of God". As the smallest island in the Hawaiian Islands, Lanai is a quiet tropical paradise with a lot of local culture. Lanai covers an area of 365 square kilometers. It was owned and developed by Murdoch, a billionaire, in 1985.
Lanai was once famous for its pineapple land. Now there are two four seasons hotels and resorts, golf courses and luxury residences on the island, with its own wind power plant. Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft, booked all the hotel rooms on the island when he got married in 1994 because the island was hidden enough.
If there is such a paradise in the world, it is absolutely no inferior to give Lanai this reputation!
"500 million dollars!"
Andy didn't care about Murdoch's refusal, but he smiled and said a price that made Murdoch hesitate.
"I've been to Lanai once before, and Ivana loves the peaceful environment and leisurely pace of life there. It's incomparable to feel at home."
“。。。。。。”
Andy is still smiling quietly, waiting for the response from Murdoch on the other side of the phone. He doesn't interrupt the old fox's thinking and weighing. He knows that even if he exposes the price, the old fox won't immediately agree to it. Businessmen, even if they have friendship, will maximize their benefits. What's more, there is no friendship between them, but they are in competition Relationship.
"Andy, you are not the only one who is interested in lanai. Bill and his wife are very interested in lanai. After all, there are their most precious memories. They have asked me more than once, and Larry Ellison of Oracle company is particularly interested in lanai. Almost every time they meet, he will ask..."
"Well, Robert, maybe Bill Gates is really interested in buying Lanai Island, but he may not be able to offer this price. As for Mr. Ellison, his intention is not to buy Lanai Island, but to block Bill Gates. Whether Bill regards Lanai Island as a blessing or Ellison's spirit struggle, he is interested in buying Lanai Island I believe you should know better than me.Robert, the price I offered is definitely a very cost-effective deal. I will continue to develop Lanai, and you can keep a piece of land of lanai. Besides, only 98% of the ownership of Lanai belongs to you, and 2% of it belongs to the government, isn't it? "
Hearing Andy's words, Murdoch has shaken at the moment. The main reason is that the price is really impressive. For a 500 million dollar Island, only 98% of the ownership, and 3000 aborigines. No doubt, only Andy Smith, who is rich and willful, would like to buy it.
Can't help but remind him of a report about Andy buying real estate land all over the world that he read some time ago. The fox's interest in land and real estate is not so strong, it can be said that he is ambitious.
According to the report, Andy bought nearly a third of 70 Malibu mansions at a time!
Not only did he quietly buy 24 million mansions, 12 of which are located in the carbon beach known as the "billionaire Beach", with a total value of 120 million US dollars, which is surprising because the 12 mansions are located adjacent to each other on a beach, that is to say, he not only bought the Mansions, but also attached the whole beach, making the entire Malibu carbon beach his private property People's beach.
In the words of a real estate manager in Malibu in the report, "there are only so many seats in the front row. If you choose the best property in the best location, it will be a good investment in essence. This is the opportunity Andy Smith sees. The investment vision of genius
This doesn't include Andy's house sweeping in the world's major international cities, such as London, Beijing, Hong Kong, etc., just like the dollar in his hand is a wastepaper.
As a result, Andy Smith has been described by the Wall Street Journal as "the most fanatical home buyer in the United States"!
"Well, Andy, your love for Ivana is moving and envious. As a friend, I'd like to make this beautiful, but I need to think about it. You know, Lanai Island is just a development tourism project under my real estate company. I need to further understand the situation. I'll write back to you as soon as possible, OK?"
"Of course, but Robert, I'd like to state that $500 million is the only and final offer."
"Ha ha. I see. I'll get back to you as soon as possible. "
"Ha ha, OK, I'll wait for your good news. I'll treat Lanai well. To the greatest extent, I'll keep her original beauty, rich natural landscape and beautiful scenery. Then I'll always open my arms and wait for you to explore its different beauty and enjoy the purest travel time light." Andy laughed and joked.
"Let's talk about it later, then. Good night."
"Good night."
Hang up.
"Old fox!" /"Little fox!"
