John Malone knew that since Chen Chu could come to him and talk to him openly about the smart TV project, he would definitely rely on something and would definitely have a backup plan.

Although he met Chen Chu for the first time, John Malone is familiar with Chen Chu. He knows Chen Chu's character and style of conduct. Once the LMC Free Media Group is in opposition to Chuke's technology, then the LMC Free Media Group will not dare to say whether it wins or not, but it will definitely not be able to get a bargain.

Although John Malone had no good feelings for Summer Redstone and Viacom, he also knew that Viacom's support was crucial to promote smart TVs in North America and Europe.

So although he was dissatisfied, John Malone just said nothing and finally nodded, as if he had agreed to this matter.

"The deal was completed, but Chen, I hope the smart TV project can be implemented as soon as possible, and don't let me wait too long. You know, I'm already an old man..."

Looking at the melancholy John Malone, Chen Chu could not see any sign of his inability to do anything. Although he is already in his seventies, John Malone is one of the directors of the North American Golf Association. He went to the scene in person during various golf competitions in North America.

When it comes to Summer Redstone, there are hidden dangers in his body. After the burns many years ago, Summer Redstone survived, but it definitely left a root cause. He has been going to the hospital for recuperation many years. It is hard to say who can survive until the end, but it is obviously harder than the other. In another ten years, there will definitely be no problem.

"President John, today, in addition to Chuke Technology's cooperation with LMC Free Media Group, there is another thing that I want to cooperate with LMC Free Media Group!" Chen Chu said to Summer Leishidong.

John Malone made a call. To be honest, John Malone also knew that Chen Chu came this time, in addition to letting Chu Ke technology marry LMC, there must be something else.

Chen Chu did not hesitate anymore and said directly, "I heard that President John is very concerned about the sports industry. Now LMC Free Media has more than five teams and the right to broadcast multiple sports events!"

When Chen Chu mentioned this, John Malone couldn't help but smile. This is why he liked Chen Chu. It was not only because of his style of conduct, but also because of his youth. Although he looked down on Wall Street, it did not prevent him from using Wall Street's money. Otherwise, the LMC Free Media Group would not have reached the current situation in just a few decades.

Across the global media industry, Time Warner holds its second largest shareholder of Murdoch News Corp. Its largest satellite service provider with the largest number of cable TV servers and channels in North America was burned by John Malone with Wall Street money.

On the other hand, John Malone is strictly guarding against Wall Street and resolutely not allowing Wall Street people to interfere with the decisions of the LMC Free Media Group.

In this regard, John Malone seemed to see himself when he was young. Of course, John Malone would not admit that Chen Chu was better than when he was young, although he was just a role in running errands in the TV industry when he was the same age as Chen Chu.

In addition, it is investment in the sports and audio-visual entertainment industries. John Malone has increased its investment in this area in recent years, and this is very similar to Chuke's technology. This is what makes John Malone pay attention to Chen Chu, and let Prescott go to find Chen Chu on his behalf.

"Chan, do you have a new sports investment plan?" John Malone showed a sudden realization. "I heard that it was a joint acquisition of the team with Joe Lakbo. Don't worry, the LMba League still has some influence. I can ensure that the league board of directors will pass this team acquisition!"

"But I still want to remind you that Chen, Joe Lakbo is not a good collaborator at all, and his little money can't make any waves in the sports industry."

At the end of his speech, John Malone did not forget to complain about Joe Lackbour. If Joe Lackbour knew that John Malone had complained that he had too little family background, he would not know what he would think.

As a partner of KPCB venture capital in recent years, Joe Lakbu's net worth has naturally doubled, but that depends on whom. Big players like John Malone, Joe Lakbu's net worth is not enough.

"Thank you, President John, for your kindness, but I believe Lakbe can handle these things well."

Chen Chu said, "But I came here today because of another thing!"

"I want LMC Free Media Group to jointly acquire F1 with Chuke Technology, Oriental Sports, Yanjing Sports Club, and Lagardale Sports."

Chen Chu's voice was very plain, as if he was just talking to John Malone about something very ordinary, but John Malone was stunned.

After rubbing his face, John Malone felt a little stiff in his mind. He felt that he was old for the first time. When he was young, he would never have been able to recover from this news.

Looking at Chen Chu, John Malone looked at Chen Chu again. At this time, he suddenly remembered Summer Redstone. He had made hundreds of acquisitions in his life, while Summer Redstone only had three acquisitions. The first two acquisitions of Viacom and Paramount Pictures established Summer Redstone as a media giant.

Although the third acquisition failed to include Renren Technology, it also found a future for Viacom.

After breathing a sigh of relief, John Malone admired Summer Redstone for the first time. Summer Redstone began to value Chen Chu four or five years ago. At that time, Chuke's technology just started to be in a short time, and Summer Redstone did not hesitate to launch a sky-high acquisition for this. Even if it failed to complete it, it was enough to prove that old guy's vision.

"Want to acquire Bernie's F1 holding company?" John Malone looked at Chen Chu.

Outside this office, a group of executives of LMC Free Media Group have been wandering outside the office for more than an hour. Chen Chu and John Malone have been talking to him for more than an hour. This is the first time in recent years that someone has talked to John Malone for so long, which has also made the LMC Free Media Group curious about what the two of them have talked about!

"F1 has come to a time when changes are needed. All F1 sites, including F1 holding companies and F1 president Bernie Eckstone, are already very dissatisfied with. F1 is now like a huge powder barrel, and just one match is enough to overturn the entire F1 event."

Hearing Chen Chu's words, John Malone laughed disdainfully. He really looked down on the major F1 sites and F1 teams. He was bullied by that old man Bernie and did not dare to resist.

It is this year that the Yanjing F1 site's revenue distribution has caused the Yanjing F1 site, the Yanjing F1 site, Oriental Sports, Yanjing Sports Club, and Lagardale Sports to fight with Bernie Extone's F1 Holdings, which made the entire F1 problem appear in front of everyone. Otherwise, those who were broken by Bernie would not dare to stand up at all.

"Even if you are dissatisfied, it may not change. LMC Free Media Group has already tested F1. You know Bernie Extone's character. He will not give any impact on his mobile phone that will control F1!"

John Malone also said helplessly, that is, if you are old now and a few years younger, John Malone might actually supervise the battle himself and fight with Bernie.

Chen Chu also smiled and said, "There has not changed before, which does not mean that there has not changed in the future. Since Bernie is unwilling to change F1 holding company, then... let him leave!"

"For so many years, Bernie Extone has spent too much effort on F1 and her body is getting more and more haggard. I think it would be very good to travel to Europe or to maintain her old age with his supermodel girlfriend at this time."

John Malone looked at Chen Chu in a sloppy manner. He thought Chen Chu wanted to change his conversation with Bernie Extone, but now he heard that Chen Chu was planning to replace that old guy Bernie directly.

This is not a trivial matter. It can even be said that it will completely change the situation of F1 for decades. Once Bernie is out of F1, it means that the entire F1 will completely change!

Several thoughts flashed through my mind. Today, Chen Chu's arrival brought too much shock to John Malone, which was almost enough to change the entire LMC Free Media Group.

"Chen, do you really want to acquire F1 Holdings?" John Malone finally asked after a while of silence.

Chen Chu nodded, "Now is an opportunity. The International Automobile Federation and F1 global sites are on our side. If we drag it down, it will be a bit difficult until Bernie stabilizes F1 again!"

John Malone was planning this matter. Chen Chula, the acquisition of LMC Free Media Group together was obviously to share the risks, and also to use the influence of LMC Free Media Group to make the acquisition smoothly complete.

John Malone didn't hesitate much about whether to intervene. He had long been eyeing F1, but Bernie was too strong, which made John Malone no chance to attack.

John Malone wants to get more benefits for LMC Free Media Group in this matter. "LMC can join the joint acquisition, but Chen, you need to agree to one thing."

Chen Chu couldn't help but show a slightly puzzled look, not knowing what John Malone wanted to do, "President John, please say!"

"My request is only one, that is, after the acquisition of F1 is completed, F1 must be allowed to cooperate with sports bookmakers."

John Malone didn't hesitate and said it directly, "Whether you can do gambling in sports events is quick to make money. LMC Free Media Group wants to win F1, in addition to John Malone's own optimism about sports, it is also gambling."

Cooperation with sports events and gambling is not a big deal. The Champions League has been hooking up with gambling companies for many years. Even some Champions League football clubs have the biggest sponsor of gambling companies...
