Chapter 938: Ryze's Shocking News
The clues provided by Martin were crucial. It didn't take long for Hansen to lock on Martin's old man, Gareth Lopez's lover's house in the early morning of the next day. It was a street-facing apartment in Nashville, the capital. There are three floors up and down, and the value is definitely not as high as New York and Los Angeles, but it is considered a good house in Tennessee.
When mentioning Tennessee, people's first impression is the Memphis Grizzlies in the NBA. Memphis is also the capital of country music in the United States, with an idyllic scenery.
Because of this, Tennessee has become a rural area in the eyes of New Yorkers, but thanks to the good investment environment, a large number of foreign businessmen have established production bases here, and manufacturing has become a pillar industry in Tennessee. The economy has grown rapidly and the overall The economic strength ranks in the middle and upper reaches of the 50 states in the United States.
What's more, Tennessee can also be regarded as a military fortress in the United States, which is a battleground for military strategists and has great historical significance.
Because of the legacy of history, Tennessee has always left a deep impression of "violence" on the outside world. The various races in the Indian tribes often fight for water and grass, cornfields, and rabbits. Later, these people and emigrated to the local area The combination of white people in Tennessee has also left the militant gene to the people of Tennessee. I am afraid that this is also the contributing factor for the formation of the notorious extremist organization '3~K~ Party' by violent elements after the Civil War.
Gareth Lopez, this surname is inseparable from the Spaniards. As early as nearly 500 years ago, the Spaniards led a fleet from Havana, Cuba to the North American continent, from Florida to Tennessee. , There was a fierce conflict with the local tribes, and while reaping the fruits of victory, it also left the seeds of the Spaniards.
I don’t know if I don’t check. It turns out that Gareth Lopez’s ancestors are also considered to be a big local family in Tennessee. They have been big landowners in history, and they also tried to make Tennessee independent with other landowners. Of course, they ended in failure and their wealth shrank a lot. In Gareth Lopez's generation, there is not much left in the ancestral estate.
But in any case, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Gareth Lopez still relied on the influence of his ancestors and ample funds to join the 3~K~ Party, and became a core figure in one fell swoop. The best friend quit and set up the "clown" organization alone. According to the data, the clown has not completely separated from the 3~K~ party. Many things that are inconvenient for the 3~K~ party will be handled by the clown. This is why for so many years, the clown organization Still not uprooted.
"Boss, Gareth Lopez didn't show up, but I've arranged people to ambush around the house. As long as he shows up, he won't be able to escape." Hansen reported.
After Yang Cheng had breakfast, she accompanied Luo Yue for a walk in the garden.
Putting up an awning with his hands to cover the glare of the sun, he whispered without turning his head, "Where's his lover?"
"In the house, there seems to be no work, no need to go out to work."
"Well, keep an eye on it, but don't let people run away. After you catch someone, send them directly to the UK. Some things are not easy to operate in the United States."
"Understood~"
Hansen turned around to make arrangements, Yang Cheng sat in the gazebo, looked at Luo Yue who was playing with water by the stream and couldn't help showing a warm smile, reminding the girl from time to time not to catch a cold, the physique of the Chinese is really incomparable with that of the whites, Even though he and Luo Yue grew up eating beef like white people, they didn't see any improvement in their physical fitness.
At this time, the phone rang, and he directly connected to the channel without even looking at the caller ID, "This is Jason Yang.
"
"Boss, it's me, have you heard? Murdoch is going to sell 21st Century Fox!" Ruiz Khan's excited voice brought news that shocked Yang Cheng.
So much so that after hearing the news, he couldn't suppress the surprise in his heart, and shouted, "You say it again?"
"Boss, I just heard the news that the Disney Group is preparing to launch the century merger and acquisition. The target of the merger is 21st Century Fox. However, News Corporation did not deny this news, but there is a tendency to tacitly accept it." Rui Zi Khan sorted out the news calmly, and Yang Cheng confirmed that what he heard was not a joke.
In fact, there was such a thing in the previous life, but his new life made him gradually forget some things that were not so impressive. If Ruiz hadn't mentioned it, he probably wouldn't have thought of it, and then continued to be shocked .
Since the same thing happened in the previous life, it is not worth being too surprised to do it again. However, Yang Cheng frowned. If I remember correctly, the century merger in the previous life should have happened in 2017, and now it is 2015 It's not over yet, is it the butterfly effect? Or maybe the M&A case in the previous life started a few years in advance, but because the negotiations have been going on without any progress, the outside world didn't report it?
But no matter what, once this merger case is established, the impact on the global entertainment industry and even the media industry cannot be explained in a few words. Yang Cheng can clearly hear her heart beating loudly. Non-stop, Ruiz's purpose of making this call was definitely not just to inform himself, but to intervene.
Yang Cheng's brain was running wildly. Disney's intention to acquire Fox was self-evident. It can be summed up in a simple sentence: content and traffic!
Since 2005, the rich and self-willed Disney has developed a road of "buy, buy, buy", successively acquired Pixar, Marvel and Lucasfilm, with the purpose of achieving Hollywood dominance. With the continuous expansion of the strength of the acquisition
According to the current development trend, it is estimated that by next year, Disney is expected to achieve an operating income of 56 billion U.S. dollars and a net profit of more than 9 billion U.S. dollars. Disney, with its wealth and wealth, is indeed capable of initiating mergers and acquisitions of any entertainment company in the world.
But bright and bright clothes can't cover up the old heart. This is the reason why you can't chew too much. Nowadays, the entertainment market is so big. Disney grabs other people's rations to enrich themselves, and there is no one who has established a good digestive system. Under normal circumstances, it is easy to cause indigestion, and it may reach its peak next year and then go downhill.
This point is almost a consensus in the industry, which is why Disney seems to be powerful and scary, but in fact the six major companies are not really scared.
Everyone else can understand it, so how could the senior management inside Disney not know?
Internally suffering from indigestion due to constant overeating, and externally facing the double attack of several major film companies and Netflix and other network providers, Disney's life is really difficult, and it has to do everything possible to reverse this embarrassing situation .
