Lan Xing was extremely happy now that her ability was recognized by her big boss in front of her biggest partner.

"Now, Shirley, I have something to talk to Ronald about. Can you give us a little privacy?"

"I'll prepare coffee for you... Shirley Lansing is very happy to be an assistant now.

"I'll go with you. I know what kind of coffee Ronnie likes..." Diane was also pleased with this. Shirley Lansing, who she still had to work hard to curry favor with back then, is now so respectful to Brother Ronnie...

"Ronald..." Redstone waited for everyone to go away, and when only the two of them were left, he stopped talking about the scene and asked directly, "Paramount has some assets that need to be sold. Is your DDH interested?

?”

"It depends on what kind of asset it is and what price it is..." Ronald leaned back gently, his body language fully expressing, I am the buyer now, you have to show the energy of a salesman.

"I like direct people. Paramount has a large number of non-core assets that need to be sold, and your DDH can just absorb these assets...If you miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to buy TV stations and radio stations in batches in the future...

…”

With that said, Redstone took out a list and handed it to Ronald. Now in the media circle, there is enough cash to buy Paramount’s pile of assets and prepare for Viacom-Paramount at the end of this year.

There are only a few companies that will not go bankrupt to raise cash.

The people at the helm of other media groups are veterans, and they will definitely seize the opportunity to bargain hard. A newcomer like Ronald can find ways to cheat and sell at a high price.

Therefore, I have to give Ronald a lot of face today. Maybe this young man, after being praised by me, will have the idea of ​​​​defeating me mentally and taking advantage of the price?

Ronald took it over and took a look, and it was similar to what he knew. After the merger of Paramount, Viacom, and Blockbuster, there were some assets waiting to be sold.

He circled some assets on the list to indicate assets he might be interested in acquiring.

Includes 1.1 million cable TV subscribers

VH-1, Nickelodeon, Showtime, Movie Channel, Science Fiction Channel

More than a thousand screens in America and Britain

As well as 12 television stations and 14 radio stations in Los Angeles, New York, Washington, D.C., Detroit, Chicago, Dallas and other places

"I'm interested in these, so let me and your subordinates negotiate a purchase price for these assets..."

"I have to say that you are a visionary person. If you continue with this momentum, you will be able to become a mature media tycoon by the time I acquire Viacom."

Seeing that Ronald would not be fooled and let professionals negotiate the acquisition, Redstone returned to his usual arrogant look.

However, there are still advantages to the deal with Ronald. That is, the money raised by his listed company may be very troublesome to negotiate for others to purchase. He may just acquire a basket of assets that Redstone wants to sell. These few hundred million yuan will be enough.

It can help Viacom-Paramount-Blockbuster overcome the difficulties at the end of the year.

With that said, Redstone is about to stand up and leave. You, a young man, still have a lot to learn. Don’t think you can do anything by going public to make money. Didn’t the Blockbuster stock in your hand drop by less than half?

In front of you, you just take advantage of a little cash, and wait for me to slow down, hum...

"Wait, I haven't finished speaking yet..." Ronald raised his hand.

"What?"

"I saw these in your list..."

Ronald also circled the largest assets at the bottom of the list, namely the Madison Square Garden Stadium in New York, the New York Knicks basketball team and the New York Rangers ice hockey team that use this stadium as their home stadium.

MSG Television Network…

Blockbuster also has some professional teams under its name, such as the Florida Jaguars (ice hockey), Florida Marlins (baseball), and Miami Dolphins (football). According to the rules of the professional league, after the merger, these teams became

An owner and a team in the same league want to sell one.

As for Madison Square Garden, it is the largest and oldest stadium and performance venue in New York. MSG TV Network is the cable TV station that broadcasts the regular season games of these two professional sports teams within New York.

Together, these are the largest assets that the combined Viacom-Paramount-Blockbuster Group can sell in a single transaction.

"Where did you get so much money?" Redstone was shocked. This transaction was the asset he most hoped to sell quickly, because a single transaction could recover approximately one billion U.S. dollars in assets. But suddenly, New York

There was no such big buyer in the area, who knew Ronald would actually want to eat it.

"I have my own way of making money, Mr. Redstone." Ronald replied with a smile. Redstone actually asked such an impolite question. It seemed that he must be extremely unhappy. But he also needed to sell quickly.

, will not give up on myself as a buyer.

If he happens to be in a bad mood, he may make mistakes in negotiations and gain an advantage.

"Have my people contact your people!" Redstone calmed down. Ronald's behavior was definitely not a bluff. He didn't bother to find out who the rich people he represented behind him. The most important thing was to have a billion dollars in pocket.

. Charles Dolan, who was originally responsible for running the MSG TV network, was slow to find financing for an MBO management buyout. If it didn't speed up, he would sell it to Ronald.

"Mr. Redstone, Ronald..." At this time, Shirley Lansing came over with coffee.

Lei Shidong angrily picked it up and took a sip, "Pfft..."

As a result, he spit out all the coffee and then stormed off.

"What's wrong?" Shirley Lansing's face changed drastically. She had just left for a while, why did it seem like the two of them had broken down?
