Chapter 238 Cooperation with Twentieth Century Fox

Phyllis was very quick, but the next day, with his help, Duqi successfully met the head of the review committee.

The two parties met in a cafe. The decoration was exquisite and there was melodious music inside. After a brief introduction between the two parties, Dolank, the head of the review committee, said: "I have also heard of Mr. Du's name in Australia. It is our honor to be able to invest in Australia."

"You are so polite!" Duqi said with a smile: "Australia is a very beautiful and charming place. The beautiful scenery here is very beautiful and the climate is also great. Of course, the most important thing is that the people here are very friendly and enthusiastic."

"In this way, you can stay here for a few more days and experience the scenery here. Now in Australia, it is spring, maybe you can go to the beach to take a look."

"Thank you for your advice. If you have the chance, I will try it." Duqi said with a smile: "I am very optimistic about Australia, otherwise I would not have come here to invest.

I have a hunch that investing in Australia will be one of my most successful investments, and it will bring many different things to Australia, provided it can be approved by the review board."

"Of course, our review committee attaches great importance to Mr. Du's investment application, after all, it is an investment plan that exceeds one billion US dollars in five years." Dolank looked at Phyllis and said, "We will complete this investment review as soon as possible to create the best investment conditions for investors."

It’s not just perfunctory on the official side. Being able to say such words already represents attitude, making Du Qi feel that the money is not spent in vain, and sometimes time is money.

...

After this meeting, Duches went to Western Australia and met the parliament and some members of the cabinet. The results were all pretty good. Two weeks later, Duches returned to Canberra again and suddenly received an invitation letter, which was from Rupert Murdoch, who invited Duches to a cocktail party.

Duqi also has a lot of knowledge about this famous media tycoon in his previous life. In 1952, he inherited the newspaper office that was still losing money from his father. Through ten years of hard work, he mastered more than half of Australia's newspaper industry.

After that, he began to enter London, gradually annexed newspapers such as The News of the World, Daily Mirror, and The Sun. He also obtained the operating rights of Adelaide TV-9 TV Station, and obtained Channel 9 with Southern TV Cable.

Until 1973, Murdoch began to enter the United States and acquired several newspapers. By now, Murdoch's International News Corporation's annual turnover has reached 1.2 billion Australian dollars, and he himself has become one of the few people in the press.

Murdoch's ambitions are not just the newspaper industry, but the entire media industry. Last year, he bought 69% of the equity of a satellite TV company in London, and then acquired half of the equity of Hollywood's "Twentieth Century Fox" in the United States.

The most important reason why I expressed my attention to this person in my previous life was that Murdoch was preparing to enter the media industry in China in the 1990s and bought Asian TV from Xiao Superman. The most famous one was Phoenix TV in my previous life.

Duqi and Qiu Degen jointly acquired Li's TV station. The reason why Qiu Degen suggested that Qiu Degen name the TV station Phoenix TV station instead of the Asian TV station in the previous life was because of his familiarity with Phoenix TV in the previous life.

In order to get the TV show to China, Murdoch spent a lot of effort and even specially married a Chinese wife, Wendi Deng.

Duche came to Australia for large-scale investment, and such a thing could not be hidden. In half a month, the news would be enough to spread among those who were qualified to know.

Lihe and Rio Tinto naturally knew that Duqi was preparing to invest in Australian minerals, but there was not much action yet, and it just caused some minor trouble for Duqi.

However, Duqi knew that the fundamental reason was that these two companies did not believe that Duqi could discover any iron ore. The real test might begin after the mineral exploration was discovered. No monopoly company would be willing to see its own monopoly be broken. After all, everyone knows Du Ming's huge profits brought by monopoly. Duqi still needs to make a lot of preparations for this.

As an Australian local snake, Murdoch naturally learned about Duches in Australia, but the two did not have much interaction before, and Duches didn't know why the other party took the initiative to contact him.

The investment matter has begun, so I can just leave it to the people below to follow up. Originally, Duqi was ready to return to Hong Kong, but now that he has received this invitation, Duqi decided to go and have a look.

The cocktail party was held in the largest hotel in Canberra. Attend the cocktail party this time, Duche did not bring his female companion. Not long after he arrived at the cocktail party, Murdoch, the host, appeared in front of Duche: "Mr. Du, I'm glad you were able to attend my cocktail party."

I recognized Murdoch. At this time, Murdoch was fifty-three years old, but she was still younger than what I saw on the Internet in her previous life. Next to him was a woman in her thirties, his current wife, Anna.

"It is my honor to be invited by Mr. Murdoch." Duqi said with a smile: "Congratulations to you for successfully obtaining the Twentieth Century Fox."

"I am very optimistic about the development of Hollywood. Compared with the European films that are in a tumultuous manner under the pressure of the Red Empire, Hollywood has gradually come out of the trough and has been booming since the late 1970s. The future prospects are limitless. I think Mr. Du should think so too, otherwise he would not have invested in Disney Company and became Disney's largest individual shareholder.

Mr. Michael Eisner has extensive management experience and I believe that Disney will soon become different under his management."

"I just plan to make an investment. I don't know much about the media industry, so I still focus on investment at the moment." Duqi said.

The Disney family still holds more than 30% of Disney's shares. Duqi's 15% stake in the open makes him the largest individual shareholder of Disney, but it is difficult to affect the important decisions of Disney companies.

In order to avoid alerting the Disney family, Duqi's other 10% shares have always been held by multiple overseas registered investment companies, and Duqi cannot be found. At the same time, Duqi does not interfere in Disney's internal affairs.

He has ambitions for Hollywood, but Duches needs to wait for Michael Eisner to raise funds and expand shares many times in order to control Disney and dilute the Disney family shares. He has mastered enough equity step by step through various methods. Now he still has to pretend to be optimistic about Hollywood, but he is just investing and does not intend to intervene directly.
