News information and entertainment media leaders around the world are paying attention to the final outcome of Sky TV.
Of course, at this moment, in London, there is another pair of eyes staring at Sky TV without blinking.
Time Warner moved very quickly, even James could not imagine, and the two parties quickly signed a purchase agreement.
However, James' good mood only lasted for two nights. When the photo of him toasting with Time Warner was still in the newspaper, an explosive news piece from the British "Guardian" completely shocked him.
The photo of Karen Magee, executive vice president of Time Warner, and Peng Bo, chairman of the board of directors of Pengbo Media, toasting to celebrate at Glenborough Winery in Surrey, England, is so dazzling to James.
The Guardian reported that Pengbo Media Group has recently taken the second step towards the world market, thus becoming the first Chinese media company to cooperate with overseas media companies. Its strategic partner is the world’s largest media group.”
AOL Time Warner".
The Guardian commented this way and attached a picture in which the young man he had never met was smiling happily.
"Pengbo Media's own advantages lie in film and television production resources, distribution channels and advertising customer resources, while 'AOL Time Warner's' advantages lie in professional management, international communication network and advanced film and television entertainment production experience. The cooperation between the two parties can be described as
By joining forces, we can definitely create a new situation."
"We will also gradually promote various cooperation with the world's top ten media groups in different entertainment economic fields. We hope to promote China's excellent film and television entertainment products to the world through the international channels of cooperation. At the same time, Pengbo Media will gradually
Reborn and become an internationally competitive media industry operator."
Ambition, unabashed ambition!
However, at this moment, James felt his heart stop. He picked up the phone feebly and called out, "I want to know the final ownership of Sky TV."
The call came back soon. Although Time Warner and Pengbo Media did not directly announce it, it was a foregone conclusion that Time Warner would sell 29% of Sky TV shares to Pengbo Media.
In the next few years, China plans to invest billions of dollars in developing the media and entertainment industries, and will also relax industry regulations, hoping to create a media empire that can compete with international giants such as the United States' News Corp. and Time Warner.
"Now is also the best time for Western companies to enter the Chinese market and find partners." The other party reminded James that this may be the biggest reason for Time Warner to abandon its old grievances with Peng Bo and look for new cooperation.
In the business world, there are no enemies, only interests.
James lay weakly on the chair, feeling a chill in his heart, but the phone on the table kept buzzing. It wasn't until he was willing to turn his head that he saw the familiar phone number.
"Come to me, kid," the call came from his father. Hearing Murdoch's voice, James slowly sat up straight, "Listen to me, this is just the beginning, we will have another opponent in the future...
…”
This opponent is very ambitious, and it is obvious that his vision is world-wide!
…
"Let's go pick peaches."
London, Wanliwu, executives from Pengbo Media and Time Warner gathered at Sky TV.
Today, there are two important agendas, one is to re-elect the board of directors, and the other is to release the global rich list and China rich list.
In the post-modern art-style lobby of Sky TV, executives from the two companies and employees of Sky TV stood on every floor.
The share prices of listed companies owned by Pengbo Media have soared this year, but a greater part of this is due to the growth of its online gaming and mobile messaging businesses. These two factors have made Peng Bo the first richest person in China worth more than US$2 billion.
Behind him are Rong Zhijian, Xu Rongmao, Lu Guanqiu, Liu Yonghao, Chen Tianqiao, Liu Yongxing, Ye Lipei, Guo Guangchang, Chen Lihua...
Pengbo Media also announced the 2003 ranking of the world's richest people.
This year, there are 476 billionaires in the world with a net worth of more than one billion U.S. dollars. They come from 43 countries and regions. Among them, the United States is still the world's "richest den", producing a total of 222 billionaires, accounting for 100% of the world's billionaires.
47% of the total number of millionaires. The leading richest man in the world is still Bill Gates, whose net worth is currently US$40.7 billion.
Another region that produces the most millionaires is Asia, with a total of 61 world-class billionaires, of which Japan has the most, with 19 people on the list. Followed by Hong Kong, with a total of 11 people.
Hong Kong's richest man, Lin Yicheng, continues to hold the top spot on Asia's billionaire list with a net worth of US$7.8 billion.
Everyone is staring at the big screen. The top ten richest people in Asia in 2003 are specially listed, Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, Lin Yicheng, Japanese Suntory Company Nobutada Saji family, Saudi Arabia
Prince, Azim Prem ji of India, Nasser Al-Kharafi family of Kuwait...
When the tenth place Peng Bo's name was displayed, Time Warner Executive Vice President Karen Magee took the lead in applauding...

Amid applause, Peng Bo walked to the railing on the sixth floor holding Heinwei's arm. The circular building was filled with employees from the first to the sixth floor, with all kinds of skins and languages, showing that Pengbo Media is now a company.
International enterprise.
"First of all, let me correct you. The person ranked tenth in Asia and number one in China is not Peng Bo..."
Oh, everyone was stunned.
"It should be Peng Bo and Heinwei." Peng Bo didn't keep everyone waiting and quickly revealed the answer.
Amid the waves of applause and envious eyes, Heinwei lowered her head with a smile, but when she raised her head again, her eyes were filled with a storm of happiness.
"There has always been a lot of controversy over the ranking of the rich list, with mixed reviews. But from a social perspective, the rich list still has its positive significance." Peng Bo's speech continued.
"Now, the accumulation of wealth has become a transparent behavior. The market economy allows some people to be uniquely wealthy, but this process should be clear and transparent.
...The owners of wealth have become public figures. Recall that the super rich in the traditional sense seem to be people who hide behind heavy curtains, smoke cigars and give orders. However, public figures must be constrained by public opinion. The fact is,
Public figures are almost moral paragons, at least on the surface."
The hall burst into laughter.
"Some people on our planet are getting richer and richer. Fortunately, they are not getting greedy."
Peng Bo paused for a moment, and laughter sounded again in the hall.
“Both the first and second richest people in our global rich list have stated that they will donate all their personal wealth. This is not particularly important news, because many people listed on the rich list are charitable, including being greatly influenced by the way they accumulate wealth.
Controversial financier Soros.
...In an efficient market environment, there will actually be no rich people; in a market of equivalent exchange, where do excess profits come from? The rich illustrate the flaws of the market, and of course everything has flaws."
The hall became quiet again, and everyone was staring at the new boss, the new rich man.
"Our rich list strives to discover this flaw from one side. The media pays attention to every detail of the formation of the rich, the first pot of gold, the second pot of gold... The market recognizes this flaw and will quickly make up for it, and the market operation becomes
More efficient. Of course, as the market develops, new defects will appear, which entrepreneurs call "opportunities."
Since it is a market environment, there will definitely be some people playing the role of rich people. So instead of avoiding this role, we should play it better.
...The stories of rich people will also inspire many young people. Whether they can become new rich people is another matter. Society will benefit from a positive attitude.
However, I hope that more and more people will join the ranks of the rich. I also hope that our Pengbo Media, Pengbo TV, Financial Report, Sky TV... will have more people playing the role of the rich.
, although you are not willing, I will put this name on your heads..."
Peng Bo's speech came to an abrupt end, and almost everyone couldn't help but applaud.
Everyone's eyes are shining with hope and joy...
Amidst the applause, Peng Bo raised his hand and said, "Also, taking this opportunity, I am here to announce something important." He looked at Heinwei beside him, and Heinwei's eyes were also shining, "I nominate
Ms Heinwei becomes chairman of the new Sky TV station..."
Uh--
Heyinwei covered her mouth in surprise. She looked at Peng Bo, who smiled and took the lead in applauding. There were also smiling faces all around. She excitedly opened her arms and hugged the closest man in front of her.
"My dear, this is my gift to you. In Chinese, this is my betrothal gift,...can you marry me?"
Peng Bo looked at Heinwei affectionately and slowly knelt down.
Heinwei saw the shining diamond in the hand of the Chinese man. The diamond shone like the lights on both sides of the Shanghai River.
In the hall, balloons were falling from the roof, and confetti was flying all over the sky...
A tear fell from Heinwei's eyes, and she slowly stretched out her white fingers...
The happy time that started in 1998 has passed in the blink of an eye!
However, in 2003, tomorrow in 2003 is another day. She is no longer Heinwei, but Heinwei Peng!
