Gao Xian can understand the meaning of Murdoch's in-depth cooperation while the iron is hot, but he calmly maintained his foresight and let it go. It's good for a 20th century fox film industry alone to understand it without harming the spirit.
Under the escort of various forces, the risk of freezing assets of 20th century fox film due to mark Ritchie should be basically eliminated. This progress is still quite meaningful.
You know, the impact of freezing assets is not only the difference between before and after the knife, but also the impact of uncertain factors in the process of wrangling. For example, in the years when IBM was entangled by antitrust investigation, it had to look ahead and backward, and the current situation is clear.
However, one thing is that the risk of freezing assets of 20th century fox film has basically been eliminated, which is just another beginning. Now 20th century fox film is jointly governed by Marvin Davis and Murdoch.
In the previous era when Marvin Davis and mark Ritchie jointly ruled the 20th century fox film industry, they regarded the 20th century fox film industry as a business and focused on the income of entertainment industries such as films, as well as the surrounding resorts, hotels, real estate, etc.
Now, Murdoch has replaced mark Ritchie in the 20th century fox film industry. Instead of running for those businesses that belong to the "traditional" category, he wants to take the 20th century fox film industry as a springboard to enter the American TV media industry. The difference is not significant.
Take the TV stations that need to be controlled by themselves to set up a TV network. Like the original paramount film, the current 20th century fox film industry does not have its own TV station, and the TV station's relevant license alone is a difficult threshold, which is by no means a product achieved overnight. Only acquisition is the most appropriate way to quickly collect resources.
Sir Gao, who is well prepared, spent nearly $1 billion on the television stations purchased by Paramount television, and still tested the water. Referring to this standard, 20th century fox film, as the starting point, absolutely needs only a lot more money.
In addition, it should be pointed out that after decades of development, the American TV media market has long taken shape. Paramount TV company took the lead in acquiring some TV stations, which not only makes the latecomers less choice of corresponding parts, but also virtually promotes the trend of rising water and ships, So that the financial pressure for fox film to enter the TV media industry in the 20th century has further increased.
For such a major issue, 20th Century Fox must make a very careful decision. Then the question comes. Who is the ultimate boss of 20th century fox? Is it Marvin Davis who came first or Murdoch who came later?
There's something to discuss here!
If 20th Century Fox doesn't understand, do you think Murdoch is interested in anything else? When we understand, what kind of business "morality" does it show remains to be seen?
Therefore, Gao Xian doesn't take the olive branch of Murdoch and Marvin Davis at all. Let's do the business of 20th century fox film. You two brothers smooth the relationship between who is the boss first. Don't be dirty, set an example and win trust.
Of course, sir Gao's refusal is justified. There are still a lot of things to deal with for his investment in the Gulf West, paramount and Sega. In particular, Sega is deeply stuck in the quagmire of the current raging price war.
For the price war triggered by the internal struggle of low-end cheap personal computers and the invasion of the home video game console market, Murdoch and Marvin Davis really knew that it was not good to continue to disturb Sir Gao, who looked "overwhelmed", so the two brothers turned to concentrate on friendly negotiation on who was the boss of Fox Film in the 20th century.
In fact, sir Gao's words are true and false. In the current price war, the losses caused by Sega, one of the four protagonists, can not be ignored, but Gao Xian is really not heartache.
To put it bluntly, Sega is a listed company and has its own set of rules for dealing with those losses. It's nothing more than that Sir Gao, like other Sega shareholders, doesn't expect dividends for the time being. What's the big deal? Anyway, sir Gao has many ways to make money, and Sega's big fight with Comrade, Texas Instruments and Atari is more than killing with one stone. It's worth it!
But then again, face work still needs to be done. Sir Gao should pay more attention to Sega's "hardships".
With the disclosure of the financial report data of Listed Companies in the second quarter of 1983 on the agenda, even David Rosen, the chairman of Sega's board of directors, who has always been a "mascot", was a little flustered and arranged to hold a board meeting.
Gao Xian specially asked Wang Weijie, who is practicing here in the United States, "does anyone want to take the opportunity to make trouble?"
Wang Weijie replied cautiously, "according to my observation, other board members, including David Rosen, have some worries, but I haven't found anyone complaining publicly."
Gao Xian nodded slightly and knew it in his heart. If he was good, he didn't have to spend more time beating.
There are roughly two styles of board meetings of Companies in Gaoshi business Kingdom, such as the style currently adopted by Gulf western company. In the conference room, the chairman of the board of directors sits in the middle, and the rest sit down along the long conference tables on the left and right sides. Sega adopts the style of round table without too strong distinction between primary and secondary.
The philosophies and rules implied by these two styles naturally dare not cross the minefield.
Like this Sega board of directors, as before, the director Sir Gao finally arrived. David Rosen, chairman of the board of directors, Hayao Nakayama, vice chairman of the board of directors, and other directors quickly got up and motioned, and then everyone sat down in a circle.
Gao Xian set the tone of the meeting with a relaxed smile, "I understand that everyone is concerned about, or even worried about, at present."
"The price war is really fierce, but not only do we Sega have difficulties, but other companies can not be detached from the world. There is only one measure of victory, that is, to see who can bite his teeth until the end. At that time, the whole market should listen to the words of the winner."
David Rosen asked cautiously, "how can we properly explain the financial report of the second quarter? Although the price war has further driven the sales, the profit has decreased significantly. Although it is not enough to make a loss, according to this trend, the next third quarter will be a loss. It is conservatively predicted that it will not be less than $50 million."
Gao Xian smiled. "I also know that according to the current trend, there will be a loss in the third quarter, but at that time, the price war will almost end, and other companies will face bankruptcy."
Speaking of this, Gao Xian asked Hayao Nakayama, who came from Tokyo overnight, "how about Sega one?"
Nakayama replied confidently, "even if Sega loses 500 million in America, Sega can ensure that the whole Sega will stand."
Gao Xian laughed, "if this price war can really make Sega lose 500 million, our hard work in the company's fine management for a long time will be in vain."
At this time, Wang Weijie urgently sent a message, "Jack trammel, CEO of kangmaoda, just announced that the price of vic-20 personal computer was reduced from 139 US dollars to 99 US dollars."
David Rosen gasped. "Jack trammel is crazy!"
"It's just the last madness." Gao Xian snorted and gave a clear instruction: "when Ti responds, no matter how much its price is reduced, Sega will be one dollar lower than it."
Noting David Rosen's straight grin, sir Gao gave an irrefutable reason, "Kang Maoda and Texas Instruments want to use their low-end low-cost personal computers to seize the home video game market. In order to defend their own interests, Sega has no choice but to fight to the end and let them go bankrupt and end miserably! Look who dares to rob the cake on our plate with such barbaric means of theft in the future!"
Sir Gao said so, then the Sega board of directors will have a firm resolution to fight to the end.
Therefore, the price war involving low-end cheap personal computers and home video game consoles entered a more tragic second half!
