First of all, that is your grandfather’s ideal; secondly, I know that controlling the media is beneficial, but you obviously cannot have no plans, right?My father spread his hands and said that you have talked to me more than that, but also controlling the fashion industry to promote the interaction between fashion and media and thus increase our influence.
Is there anything wrong with this?The interaction between fashion and media can indeed increase our influence. Most women in this world are very enthusiastic about fashion.Li Xu shrugged.
But it has nothing to do with your grandfather’s ideal.The father reminded him.
How could it be okay? As long as we have a great influence, the resistance to doing things will only be smaller.Li Xu immediately refuted.
But his father didn't say anything, just looked at him, and after a while, he had to raise his hands with some depression: Well, for a lot of time, it's not entirely a good thing to have too much influence.
It has been decades since the Morgan consortium was split. If the three institutions really want to merge, they should be determined when negotiating at the Rock Cave Hotel in Bermuda Bay.
However, the negotiations made no progress except for defining each other's business scope and establishing clauses such as mutual help.
Maybe someone wants to see the reorganization of the Morgan consortium, but more people don’t want to see that at least it’s the case now.
What's more, the "Glass Stigl Act" is on the top. Although this bill has been penetrated by capital now, some commercial banks have investment businesses in private, but as long as they are not officially abolished in one day, the government will have legal credentials to prevent mergers in one day.
Therefore, in this situation, the greater the influence, the better.
Moreover, Rupert Murdoch and I have also talked about it. Even if you imagine that there are only seven or eight influential media groups in the market in the end. It is not too difficult for us to indirectly control them and let them speak for us. My father said at this time, tell me, what you think, second generation.
I want to get enough respect in the entertainment industry.After pondering for a few minutes, Li Xu looked at his father and replied.
I don't think this is difficult...
No, no, you don’t understand what I mean, I mean the entertainment industry, not just Hollywood!
There was silence in the study. Li Xu did not make any more noise after saying that, and old Edward also tapped the table with his fingers and thought about something.
I installed a man in Warner, and after a while my dad finally spoke. Although he is still working as an assistant in the marketing department, I think he can do it all the way.
Li Xu's eyes lit up immediately, which was also a way. Steve Ross' status cannot be shaken at present. Even if his father has a seat on the board, it will be hard to say in the future.
He remembered it very clearly that Steve Ross died in the early 1990s, and Time Warner's progress slowed down.
Although the stable development strategy has put Warner in a solid foundation, it has become a bit conservative. Ross was nothing when he was still there, and he still has his eyes.
But when he was gone and went to drink tea with God directly and didn't even have to do consultants, Warner's development will inevitably be affected.
Even though the successor eventually took over CNN, gathered a large number of IPs in the New Century, and was full of oil in the first few years, he was still not as good as the competition in public Taiwan, so he was overwhelmed by Disney in the next few years.
However, Warner's foundation was to play well after all, and the winner was not decided until Li Xu was reborn.
It would be a good idea if my father could grasp that person and could really sit as chairman of the board after Rose passed away.
But there are two problems with this. First, people will change. Listening to you now does not mean you will listen to you in the future, especially after you taste the taste of power. Secondly...
You don't plan to spend too much energy on this, right, Dad?Li Xu asked as he looked at Old Edward.
That's certainly, after all, I'm a banker now.The father said with a smile.
Do you think it’s interesting to do finance than doing media?Li Xu exposes mercilessly.
The father shrugged, kept a smile but didn't say anything. As soon as he saw this attitude, he knew that he had been told. Li Xu couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
My father is not a man of good conduct in this life. Otherwise, he would not have married a Japanese wife, nor would he resist the pressure from his grandfather for a long time. After his grandfather suddenly let go of his words and allowed him to pursue Elizabeth Taylor, he was preparing to divorce his mother.
Well, basically, there are no Hollywood actresses who became famous in the 1950s and 1960s who have had an affair with Old Edward, including Grace Kelly, Julie Andrews, Elizabeth Taylor, etc.
When Taylor came to ask Old Edward to invest in "Cleopatra", Old Edward signed a check of $5 million without blinking, which was 5 million in the early 1960s.
After all, Old Edward once regarded Howard Hughes as an idol. Although he visited Las Vegas in the 1960s, he was disappointed when he came back: he was already a bad old man.
However, among so many female stars, he was only attracted to Audrey. In the old man's words, that delicate and thin girl made men want to take care of her at first glance.
It’s no wonder that Edward would be moved after grandpa said that he didn’t care that Audrey had ended up marrying and had his own children.
Regarding this dispute, the specific story is very long, complicated and troublesome, and it was triggered by Li Xu and extinguished by Li Xu. I won’t say much about it for the time being.
In short, Dad does things largely because... interesting, yes, it's the word. He will take over grandpa's career and be concerned about rebuilding the Morgan consortium because he finds it interesting after seeing the hope of success.
Similarly, he would agree with Li Xu's plan to control the Media Empire, and he found it interesting after seeing the possibility of success. You can try it.
If you want to make a decision in front of the two projects, you need to invest a lot of energy. Of course, it is more interesting, so you can invest which one.
Because of this, Li Xu quickly understood what his father was thinking.
Of course, he couldn't turn his father's mind around, so he could only say in a bit disappointed way: You can guarantee that your people will still listen to you in the future.
There are no eternal friends, only eternal interests.Old Edward answered this, and then Li Xu rolled his eyes.
Listen, Second Life, I know what you are worried about, but I think that's enough.It is rare for my father to make his tone more serious. According to your plan, you just arrange for a professional manager to go to Disney instead of going to fight in person. Do you want to fight in person?
No, but... Li Xu wants to explain.
That's enough. What you need is to get enough respect in the entertainment industry, not to let Hollywood completely obey your command, right?My father immediately said, I am not vetoing your proposal, whether it is to win over and support Murdoch or to control the fashion industry.
Li Xu stopped talking, to be fair, his father's words were not wrong.
Without taking the helm in person, they each directly influence the two media groups, and then win over the other two media groups, and the mother from the side. It is not difficult to get enough respect.
However, I always feel a little unhappy. How good is the opportunity to rub Hollywood on the ground. It's a pity to give up like this.
Unfortunately, he couldn't tell his father that he would do nothing, and there would naturally be a chance of merger between Morgan Stanley and Morgan Stanley in 30 years.
Thinking of this, Li Xu suddenly smiled silently and shook his head.
Then let it be, please give it to you, Dad, he said, especially the Disney shares in the hands of the Godfather.
Greed is good, but it must be moderate. There is still time left. Even if Roy Disney wants to challenge Ray Miller, it will take at least 1983 years. Miller has not revealed too many flaws yet.
Even Lianmei is still counting on "Gate of Heaven" to make a big profit, and she never thought about merging with MGM.So, instead of thinking so much, it is better to think more about how to make more money for the future.
More importantly, he considered and calculated so much, but did not add his ability as a variable.
After all, I have such a big family background in this life, so it’s pretty good to play within the rules. As a trump card, it’s pretty good to use it only when you turn over the table.
If you really can't handle Roy Disney, you can only get him into a car accident or something. However, that's a little more unscrupulous. Li Xu is a good person regardless of his past and present lives.
Of course, but you need to talk to your godfather yourself, the father continued.
I will.Li Xu shrugged, ending the conversation, and then talked about some other trivial matters, such as Li Xu wanted to ask Northrop indirectly about the situation. Unfortunately, Old Edward did not answer at all, just asked him to ask his grandfather himself.
Or maybe Old Edward reminded Li Xu that it was already April. If you need to delay tax filing, remember to notify your accountant at home if you have to pay off your taxes.
In addition to various tax avoidance, deferring tax payments is also a must-do for rich people. It is very simple. Take Li Xu's 50 million income as an example. If you have to postpone the tax payment for half a year or even one year, as long as the operation is done properly, how much profit can the part that should be paid make to him?
After these exchanges, Li Xu proposed that after his 18th birthday, should he consider buying a villa of his own?
Unexpectedly, my dad waved his hand: I have bought a villa of 20,000 square feet nearby, just treat it as your birthday gift.
Li Xu just wanted to roll his eyes. I actually wanted to buy a house in Beverly Hills.
Although I can freely control my wealth after I was 18 years old, my father gave me a villa and went to Los Angeles to buy a house. This is a little...
That's it, is there anything else?Having been talking about what I wanted to talk about, my father stood up as if he was expelled from the guest.
Probably nothing.Li Xu thought about it and stood up.
Then let's stop here. My father was about to end this conversation when he suddenly thought of something, Oh, by the way, your letters have been put in your room, don't forget to check it out.
oh?Li Xu raised his eyebrows. Generally speaking, there is no need to remind you about this kind of thing. If you remind, it means...
I see.He just said that in the end.
Is there anything wrong with this?The interaction between fashion and media can indeed increase our influence. Most women in this world are very enthusiastic about fashion.Li Xu shrugged.
But it has nothing to do with your grandfather’s ideal.The father reminded him.
How could it be okay? As long as we have a great influence, the resistance to doing things will only be smaller.Li Xu immediately refuted.
