The reason why Xiang Nan is not interested in NBC TV network is because he knows that with the rise of the Internet, the TV station's ratings are declining year by year.
Young people are watching online videos and playing online games, and the TV audience is gradually losing. As a result, the TV station's ratings have dropped, advertising revenue has dropped, and its influence has also declined.
On the contrary, with the rise of the Internet, online video platforms gradually emerged and made great progress. Flix, YouTube, Hulu, etc. all have very good market value and income.
Therefore, instead of spending tens of billions of dollars to acquire TV networks, it is better to invest funds in Internet companies and gain greater returns.
Moreover, as a Chinese-American, Xiang Nan encountered strong resistance when he got involved in television networks in the United States.
After all, TV networks have greater influence on public opinion than movie companies. It must be in the hands of our own people and not allowed to be interfered with by outsiders.
On the contrary, Internet companies are still in the ascendant and have fewer restrictions. If you act quickly, you can get the video platform into your arms before the restrictive policies are introduced.
For example, Xiang Nan has invested in Amazon, Google, Tencent, Netflix, Baidu, Alibaba and many other companies in the past two years, and his shareholding is still relatively dominant.
With so many online platforms to base his career on, Xiang Nan naturally doesn’t care about the NBC television network.
…
But Xiang Nan doesn't care, there are so many people who care.
In the end, Sony reached an agreement with General Motors and acquired 49% of NBC Television Network for US$18 billion.
As a result, Sony Pictures has become a media giant like Disney, Comcast, Fox, and Warner, spanning many businesses such as film, television, records, and publishing.
This acquisition also caused Sony's market value to rise significantly. It can be seen that investors are quite convinced of this giant alliance strategy.
In comparison, Universal Pictures' market value has dropped a bit because it does not have a television network.
This put a little pressure on Xiang Nan. After all, he is the chairman of Universal Pictures. When those shareholders and directors find out that the stock price has dropped, they will always ask him to come out and give an explanation.
However, Xiang Nan did not stand up. The importance of online platforms has not yet been highlighted. Even if he blows the Internet now, shareholders and directors won't buy it.
What's more, the Internet bubble will burst next year. If we talk about investing in the Internet now, when the bubble explodes next year, the stock price may fall even worse.
It's better not to say anything, since he doesn't rely on shareholders or directors to make a living. Moreover, he holds the largest share of Universal Pictures stock, holding more than 60% of the shares, making him a veritable controlling shareholder.
Therefore, no matter how loud the opposition from directors and shareholders is, it will not have any effect. The only thing they can do is sell their stock and leave Universal. But for Xiang Nan, this is actually a good thing.
…
During the filming of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Xiang Nan also took time to return to Hong Kong.
Shanshan is about to graduate from the School of Professional and Continuing Education of Xiangjiang University, and Xiang Nan promised to grant her a request as long as she obtains a college diploma.
"Brother, you're really here~" Shanshan said happily to Xiang Nan, wearing a bachelor's uniform and holding her graduation certificate.
"Of course, today is such a good day, how can I not come?" Xiang Nan smiled, then took the graduation certificate in her hand and looked at it, and saw that He Jianing's name was really on the graduation certificate, as well as the school's steel seal. Up there.
"Shanshan, you did a great job! I know you can do it." Xiang Nan smiled.
"Thank you, brother. I know that without you, I wouldn't be where I am today." Shanshan said gratefully.
If it weren't for Xiang Nan, she would still be selling alcohol in a bar, living a precarious and hazy life, working as a monk and hitting the clock every day.
"Don't say that, I just gave you a chance. What you have today is all due to your own efforts." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Hey, by the way, now you can tell me your wish. What are your wishes? , feel free to mention it. As long as I can do it, I will definitely satisfy you."
"..." After hearing what he said, Shanshan started to squirm, looking unnatural.
"What's the matter? Why are you so polite to me?" Xiang Nan asked with a smile when he saw it.
"I..." Shanshan was still a little shy, blushing and unable to speak.
"Well, since you don't want to say it, then it's invalid." Seeing this, Xiang Nan said deliberately.
"No~" When Shanshan heard this, she immediately said anxiously, "Brother, I hope you can love me for once."
After she had the courage to say it, she felt so ashamed that she wished she could crawl into a crack in the ground.
If she had said this ten years ago, she would never have blushed. But ten years have passed and she is no longer the spirited girl she used to be. She is well-educated, has status, and has self-esteem, and she doesn't want Xiang Nan to look down on her.
Xiang Nan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "Shanshan, I want to reject your request."
"Why?!" Upon hearing this, Shanshan raised her head in surprise, and then said with a painful look on her face, "Do you think I'm dirty?"
"No, it's not like that." Xiang Nan waved his hand, "Shanshan, I'm not as good as you think. To be honest, I have been with other women for so many years in the entertainment industry. I am not a long-term lover. If you are a man with me, you will be wronged.
Now that you have education, status, and wealth, you can definitely find a man who has a clean background, works hard, is clean, and loves you. "
"Brother, I don't expect to be with you for a long time. For a woman like me, today is already burning incense in the ancestral graves. I just want a memorial." Shanshan explained.
Upon hearing this, Xiang Nan had no choice but to nod.
…
Xiang Nan then stayed in Xiangjiang for seven days, spending a good time with Shanshan, and then arranged for her to join ATV as the assistant to CEO Xiao Dingjun.
After she becomes familiar with the work of ATV in the future, Xiang Nan will prepare to hand over ATV to her. As for whether she can take care of it well, Xiang Nan is not worried.
On the one hand, ATV has its own rules and regulations, and even the CEO cannot say anything; on the other hand, he believes that Shanshan is loyal to him and will not intentionally harm him, and this is enough.
You know, the boss likes to use the most, not the talented people, but the people who are loyal to themselves. This has been the case since ancient times.
Because a capable person may not be loyal. If you cannot be loyal, the more capable you are, the less useful you will be. On the contrary, even if the ability is poor, but loyal, it is still worth cultivating.
"Brother, assistant to the president?! Can I really do it?" Shanshan herself was a little worried and asked Xiang Nan anxiously.
"Why not? Believe in yourself." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "Ten years ago, did you dare to imagine that you would become a big star and graduate from college? Haven't you done it now? Remember, as long as I am here, everything will be fine. no problem."
Hearing what he said, Shanshan had no choice but to nod.
