Reborn in Brazil As a Plutocrat

  Chapter 152 TV station director

  Mr. Morgan obviously did not expect that the company Fang Lang was talking about turned out to be this laboratory.

   Regardless of whether this company has development potential in Morgan's eyes, he must show strong confidence in this company at this time.

   "Mr. Fang, your vision is really vicious. This is the most important asset under AT&T.

   But this company is not a profit-making company, are you sure you want to exchange for the shares of this company?

  If you own the shares of this company, it means that you will bear the same proportion of the research and development expenses of this company! "

   Upon hearing this, Fang Lang didn't understand what Morgan meant. It seemed that Morgan did not reject the exchange of shares in this company with Fang Lang. Obviously, the Morgan family has not yet discovered the greatness of this company.

  What are you afraid of assuming R&D expenses? Once you become a shareholder, it means that more than 20,000 scientists in this company can be used for yourself.

  This is the place where eight Nobel Prize winners and five scientists nominated for the Nobel Prize were born.

   "It's okay to bear the research expenses, as long as I have the use period of all the results of the laboratory and the same proportion of patent income."

  This kind of request must be expected, after all, shareholders must automatically obtain investment income!

  Morgan has no reason to refuse, but Morgan is obviously not very familiar with this company, and there is no way to succeed in the negotiation at first.

  Since Fang Lang is willing to exchange his company's shares, Morgan has obtained the investment opportunity he wants.

  Of course, there is definitely no way to compare the benefits with listing the company.

   "Mr. Fang, since this is the case, tomorrow I will bring your plan to the company's board of directors for discussion. The specific results will have to wait for the results of the board's discussion."

   "Mr. Morgan, I am waiting for good news!"

  In this way, both parties have achieved the main purpose of the meeting, and the rest needs to be organized by a professional team to carry out specific negotiations.

   These matters, the group company has professional legal affairs and investment department personnel to take care of, there is no need for the two big bosses to come forward in person.

  Fang Lang didn't have high expectations for the shareholding ratio of Bell Labs. In his opinion, getting 20% ​​was the peak.

  The largest proportion may be single digits.

  However, he will also inform the company's negotiating team to transfer the shares of Universal Shipbuilding, which must not exceed 20%.

  Wolf of Wall Street style like the Morgan family, as long as the proportion of shares in their hands is reduced, they may be kicked out at any time.

  When Fang Lang took Berg into the car, Berg finally couldn't help expressing his doubts.

   "Boss, why don't you go public directly for financing? Instead, you have to exchange shares with a laboratory that has no income at all. Isn't this a loss?"

   "It seems that you haven't heard of this Bell Labs, have you?"

   "Is he famous?"

   "No, he can only be regarded as just in his early years, and he is not well-known outside. However, he has a huge reputation in the scientific community."

   "So how did you hear about this company?"

   Of course it is impossible for Fang Lang to tell him that he knew it from later generations!

   smiled and said:

   "Because I'm introducing a broadcast television system now, and this system comes from this laboratory. That's why I heard his name."

   "Oh? Are you starting a TV station in Brazil?"

  Begg is the assistant to the chairman of the Universal Group. He knows that Fang Lang also has a Fangyuan Group in Brazil, but he doesn't know the specific business scope of the Fangyuan Group.

   Therefore, I was very surprised to hear that Fang Lang was going to set up a TV station in Brazil.

  The United States actually officially started television broadcasting in June 1941, but because of the outbreak of World War II, the development of television broadcasting was frozen.

  After the war ended, it re-entered the period of high-speed development. Of course, the TVs at this time were still black and white.

  Color TV didn't start to enter the market until 1950.

   "That's right! The equipment is about to be shipped to Brazil, what's wrong?"

   "Boss, I don't know if your TV station still needs manpower!"

   Originally, he was just looking for a reason to tell Berg that he knew the reason of Bell Labs, but he didn't expect Berg to ask such a question.

   "What, our Miss Berg, wants to change careers to become a broadcasting host!"

  At this time, in fact, many places in the United States already had television sets, and television and movies have also cultivated some star effects.

  So Fang Lang's first reaction when he heard Berg's question was that Berg wanted to be a TV star.

  As a result, Berg repeatedly waved his hands and said:

   "No, no, it's an uncle of mine who's been editor-in-chief at NBC for a few years, and I heard a while back that he wants to come out and start a new TV station.

  However, no investment was found, so I would like to help him ask if your TV station needs manpower. "

  There are only a few TV stations in the United States now, so there are indeed very few people who understand the operation of TV stations, and they are scarce talents.

  Fang Lang's original plan was to merge the new TV station with his Brazil Times to form a news media company.

  Worried about where to find the right talent! Unexpectedly, my little assistant brought up this matter today.

   "Oh! Of course I need manpower very much, but this TV station is in Brazil. Brazil is a Portuguese-speaking country. Would your uncle be willing to work in Brazil?"

   "Really? That would be great, I'll call him when I get back and ask if he's interested."

   Seeing Berg's happy face, he knew that the relationship between this uncle and their family was still very close.

   "If he is interested, you can help me make an appointment with him in these two days. I am going to England soon. Therefore, your efficiency should be faster."

   "Yeah, I'll give you an answer tomorrow morning."

  The effect of the crooked topic is that Berg no longer remembers to ask Fang Lang about why he wants to exchange shares with Morgan.

  The next afternoon, Fang Lang met the uncle Berg was talking about.

  It doesn't look very old, not more than forty years old at most, tall and thin, with a pair of eyes, and looks gentle.

  Scholarly temperament is very strong.

  Berg introduced the two parties and then left the office.

   "Mr. Anderson, Berg told me that you are the editor-in-chief of NBC, why would you want to come out and build a TV station yourself?"

   Fang Lang looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, and said directly.

   This is not the first time Anderson has met investors, but all investors refused to invest in him after hearing his ideas.

   And Berg is a child of his neighbor's family, and he has a very happy relationship with their family. They all know that they have long thought of setting up a TV station by themselves.

  So, this morning, before he went to work, Berg stopped him at home and told him that his boss was going to build a TV station in Brazil.

  I happen to be a professional who can speak Portuguese, and I have long wanted to set up a TV station, so I asked myself if I have any intention to chat with his boss.

   Originally, Anderson refused, but his wife took the initiative to stand up and express her support for him.

   Only then did he muster up the courage to make the last attempt.

   "How should I put it? In fact, the main reason is that I want to find a stage to display my own ideas!"

   "Can you tell me what you think about TV stations?"

  When he heard Fang Lang express his thoughts on the TV station, Fang Lang hesitated.

  Because his ideas are not accepted by the world, every time he expresses his own idea of ​​building a station, the conversation will come to a deadlock.

  But he thought about it for a while, gritted his teeth and chose to tell the truth.

   And said to myself in my heart, this is the last time, if it still doesn't work, I can only give up this unrealistic fantasy.

  “Of course, all TV channels now are paid channels, which I think is very detrimental to the promotion and dissemination of TV.

  My idea is to quickly promote my TV station in a free form, expand the audience, and let everyone have access to TV broadcasting.

  However, all investors think I am crazy, free channel, if there is no income, no one is willing to invest.

   I also found a TV producer, but no one was willing to invest in my project. They feel that TV is not the only one they make.

  Even if my TV station can increase the number of customers who buy TV sets, they may not necessarily buy the brands they produce. So until now I haven't found a businessman willing to invest in me. "

   After saying this, Anderson was ready to be rejected.

  After all, every time he said this to investors, everyone would look at him like a fool.

  I can understand it when I think about it in my heart. After all, no one is willing to continue to invest in a project that will not generate income.

  Looking at Anderson's frustrated expression, who obviously didn't have much confidence, Fang Lang understood.

  The other party must have been rejected too many times, and already has the idea of ​​giving up.

   Smiled, Fang Lang continued to ask:

   "Then how does Mr. Anderson plan to make this TV station profitable?"

   "Sorry, Mr. Fang, I have also thought of many ways and contacted many TV manufacturers.

   However, the results were not ideal, and everyone refused to pay for my crazy idea. "

  Anderson understood that today's conversation was coming to an end, and just as he was about to take the initiative to end this conversation, he heard the other party continue to ask.

   "You know the operation of the TV station very well, don't you?"

   "Yes, I participated in the formation of NBC, from the radio to the TV project, and I have a very good understanding of the entire operation of the station."

   "Then would you like to go to Brazil to work? Build a TV station again from scratch."

  Fang Lang's question made Anderson stunned. What do you mean, did you agree with your own ideas?

   Looking up at Fang Lang in disbelief, he said:

   "Mr. Fang Fang, are you willing to invest in me?"

   Fang Lang smiled and didn't answer Anderson's question:

   "You answer my question first."

   "Yes, Mr. Fang, if you are willing to invest in me, of course I am willing to work in Brazil."

   "Then can you form a start-up team in the United States and take it directly to Brazil?"

   "If you can guarantee wage income higher than that of the United States, I don't think there is any problem."

  "What do you think is the most important program of the TV station, or what kind of TV station do you want to build?"
