Hillary Clinton's personal lobbying failed, and the Hurst family finally gave Simon's $1 offer on May 19.
Hurst group is willing to transfer 20% of its shares in ESPN to Simon at a price of US $1. In exchange, westrow system must lift the ban on Hurst group and stop the bombing of lawsuits. The Hurst family has also offered a total settlement amount of US $120 million in the six lawsuits that have been launched.
ESPN shares are the root of the conflict.
Three years ago, the troubled Reynolds nabesk company sold off its ESPN shares. The Hurst family used their influence in the media industry to force Simon to give up the bidding. Finally, they got 20% of the shares of the TV network at a low price of $180 million, which was significantly lower than the valuation of $200 million to $300 million generally given by the industry.
Over the past three years, ESPN's shares have further increased with the development of the TV network. At present, the value of the 20% shares held by the Hurst family is no less than US $300 million, which is actually Simon's fundamental purpose of giving us $1.
At the peak of my memory, ESPN, as a part of Disney, monopolized the major sports events in North America. Its valuation was as high as $50 billion, which was more valuable than ABC TV network.
Hurst group's initial purchase of 20% shares of ESPN television network was less than US $200 million, and the investment value increased by dozens of times. Not only that, with the decline of the paper media industry, the revenue and profit brought by only one fifth of ESPN shares occupied more than half of the whole Hurst group's revenue and profit many years later. As a result, the Hurst family was able to continue its position, not like "China TV" Behind the scenes of the Washington Post, the Graham family and other old print media families have fallen like that.
Simon's most direct target for that $1 is indeed the shares of ESPN, thus completely blocking the possibility of Hurst group's transformation from a doomed decline of pure paper media to a comprehensive media group.
However, the price offered by the Hurst family did not meet Simon's expectation.
San Francisco Bay area, Woodside's mountain villa.
It's the afternoon of May 19.
For Andre Carney, a Hurst lawyer who came from the east coast to try to negotiate with Simon, Simon just asked girl a to deal with each other.
At this time, in the living room of the villa, girl a sat on the sofa and said in her voice without much emotion: "Mr. Carney, the boss is basically satisfied with the shares of ESPN. However, the boss said that there is no less compensation for the six lawsuits."
Simon westero said the Hurst family had only one chance to make an offer, and Andre Carney initially worried that if westero was not satisfied with the offer, he might have to shut the door and the Hurst family would continue to be in deep trouble.
Now, as long as we can discuss it, it will be a good result.
Andre Carney is not stupid enough to take the initiative to worry about westrow saying that there is only one offer.
Although it was obvious that the girl was in a bad mood, Andre Carney said: "Miss Knowles, the $370 million compensation is too high. You should know that the current Hurst group can't afford it."
Girl a said, "it's a matter for the Hurst group. You don't have any bargaining power."
As one of the most famous lawyers in New York, Andre Carney also understands that the purpose of westero's insistence on full compensation of $370 million is still to hope that the Hurst group will continue to bleed heavily. Now Hurst group, want to raise $370 million in the short term, there is only one way to go, sell its media assets.
And it must be a serious discount sale.
Now any investor who intends to buy the media assets of Hurst group will not miss the opportunity to take advantage of the fire.
After a moment's consideration, Andre Carney said, "Miss Knowles, it's no good for Mr. westlow to insist on paying in full in six cases. I don't believe Mr. westlow will take any of the compensation apart from the lawyer's fees, so why not take a step back?"
Girl a just shook her head and said, "this is what the boss means, and it's the final decision."
Andre Carney tried, "well, can I talk to Mr. westlow in person?"
"No
"Well, I'll pass this on to Mr. hurst," said Andre Carney, who was just a messenger. "And what does Mr. westrow mean, Miss Knowles, about the fact that the westrow system has to come into contact to block the Hurst family after the reconciliation
A girl said: "the boss said that the ban can be lifted, but the westrow system still will not have any cooperation with the Hurst group?"
Andre Carney couldn't help but ask, "is it different from not lifting the ban?"
A girl nodded: "at that time, westrow system will no longer prevent other companies from cooperating with Hurst group."
Andre Carney thought about it and said, "at least, westero should have a statement in the paper."Girl a shook her head: "the boss won't agree with this statement. Mr. Carney, the boss's greatest kindness to the enemy is that they don't care. Don't expect him to do more."
Andre Carney questioned, "Miss Knowles, are you making a decision for your boss now?"
"Yes."
"I don't think you have the right to make such a decision. Maybe you'd better discuss it with Mr. westerlow."
"I know my boss and I know what decisions he will make."
Andre Carney said, "but now that we have reconciled, we should no longer be enemies."
"Mr. Carney, the so-called" reconciliation "is just your wishful thinking. For the boss, it's not" reconciliation ", it's just" letting go ". Do you understand?"
Andre Carney felt some pity for his employer, but on the surface he still insisted: "if it's just like this, then the transaction between us is meaningless. If Mr. westlow wants my client to agree to those conditions, he must make a certain response, even a symbolic response, such as a simple advertising cooperation. ”
girl a said: "the equity transfer of ESPN and the settlement of six lawsuits are the response of the westrow system. At that time, the public should understand what happened and there is no need for any additional symbolic response."
Andre Carney has a bitter heart.
In fact, this is not the case.
As girl a just said, if the westero system does not give a public response, then in the eyes of outsiders, this is not really "reconciliation", but "letting go". This is definitely not what the Hurst family would like to see after paying a huge price.
After bargaining with the girl in front of him for a while, Andre Carney had to leave and hurriedly told the results of the meeting to several members of the Hurst family who were waiting anxiously in New York.
In the villa, after seeing off the lawyer of the Hurst family, girl a turns to an office on the first floor of the villa, calls someone to send a set of women's suits according to a certain size, and then turns on the computer to silently process some work e-mails.
So until 5 o'clock in the afternoon, after work time, there was a knock outside the office. Aliya, an Indian girl, pushed the door in and said, "a, the boss is going out."
Alison nodded, got up, picked up the papers and left the office.
In a living room next to the living room, baby faced Zoe parks is helping Simon tie his tie. Isabel Dunn holds a coat to her chest and stands next to the man.
Seeing girl a coming in, Simon asked with a smile, "how was the conversation?"
Girl a handed several papers to aliya, took over Zoe's work, felt the man's breath at a close distance, and whispered: "the Hurst family should not agree too easily, but they have no choice."
Simon just, um.
Alison helps Simon tie his tie, takes the suit coat from Isabel and serves the man to put it on. She just frowns and looks like a wronged daughter-in-law.
Simon waited for Alison to help him fasten the button, grabbed the girl's chin and raised it to him with a smile: "jealous again?"
Girl a looks at the man and doesn't answer. She just blinks a few times.
Simon bowed his head and said, "don't do that."
The man's eyes are firm, but her tone is soft. Girl a only feels that a small knot in her heart is melting away quickly. In the twinkling of an eye, she feels that she should not.
Well, it needs to be punished.
The man seemed to see through her mind, came to whisper a few words, let her go, said: "well, good."
With that, Simon did not wait for girl a to remind him again. He took the documents from aliya's hand that he was going to look through. Finally, he said goodbye to the girls and left the villa.
In the afternoon, some work arrangements were cancelled due to some things, but there were two evening schedules, an evening dinner with Cisco CEO John Chambers and a reception hosted by Tim Berners Lee's family.
Seeing her boss out, girl a took back her little daughter's look and asked Zoe, "I ordered a suit of clothes this afternoon. Did you bring it?"
Zoe nodded and volunteered, "I'll get it."
The master bedroom on the second floor of the villa.
Alison came in with a dark blue suit and put her clothes in the small living room outside. She knocked on another door. When she got the response, she pushed the door in, but went directly to another connected bathroom. A moment later, she came out of the bathroom with a small tray and went to the big bed.
On the big bed, a woman was lying lazily with a pillow in her arms.
It's Simon's personal military assistant, Celia Miller.
Noticing the stinky expression on Alison's face, Celia didn't care. With a smile, she motioned to the tray in girl a's hand: "a, what's this?"Alison put the tray on the bedside table, picked up the water cup, picked up a pill in the small plate, handed it over together, and said, "contraceptives."
Celia was stunned. She shook her head and said, "there's no need. I'm safe today."
Alison insisted, "it's the boss's order, Ms. Miller. I have to watch you take it yourself."
Celia smell speech, and Alison eyes confrontation for a moment, soon smile again, said: "Simon will not do this, but, well, don't let you embarrassed."
The woman said, sat up and took the water cup and pills, quickly took them, opened her mouth with a bit of ridicule, let girl a check, and then lay down, said: "a, can you help me prepare the bath water, so tired."
When Celia just got up, she didn't hide it. Girl a noticed the woman's posture and thought of some words occasionally said by her boss. Some women only look good in clothes, but only a few of them look good in clothes or not.
Celia Miller belongs to the latter.
Seeing that Alison didn't move, the woman on the bed said, "by the way, a, Simon said you would help me prepare my clothes?"
Alison looked back, nodded and said, "outside. Besides, Ms. Miller, can I help you with the car?"
"Oh, no, I'm not going to leave tonight."
A girl said: "the boss may bring other women back."
"It doesn't matter. I don't mind being together."
Bichi!
Alison had to get up and bring in her clothes. Hearing that Celia mentioned the bath water again, she wanted to refuse. After thinking about it, she went back to the bathroom and decided that if the woman asked for dinner again, she would prepare a plate of salt for her.
As a result, when the bath water was ready, Celia Miller mentioned dinner again and planned to do maintenance after dinner, asking Alison to help arrange it.
In the master bedroom bathroom, looking at the young girl leaving almost in a little frenzy, Celia Miller leaned comfortably in the bathtub, and recalled all kinds of things during this period, she had a little sigh.
She just flew back from France today.
In this short period of half a month, she has made a circle around the earth and has been to Australia, Rwanda, Ukraine and France. In the whole process, she felt more and more that a little man was playing a big game of chess.
Australia, Africa, Europe.
Add North America.
Through private military companies and some other layouts, once the final shape is smooth, it will be a huge private military network. In contrast, the private mercenaries owned by the Rockefeller family in their heyday were only pediatrics.
As long as this big net is formed, the westero system will become a powerful economy with its own independent military strength.
The more she understands this, the easier it is for Celia Miller to hold on to a little man. She hopes to have her own place in such a powerful economy, just like other strong women in the westero system.
Therefore, during this period of time, she entered the state completely and unreservedly, and traveled all over the world for the benefit of the westero system.
Today, I came to jiujinshan to report the success of my work during this period to the little man, and went further smoothly.
Of course, she knew that there were so many women around the little man, and there were so many differences between them that it was impossible to produce such things as love. However, she knows better that if she wants to win the little man's full trust, she must have no reservation.
Men often get a woman, will feel that each other can trust, will give each other enough trust.
Although this is not true, Celia knows that this way is absolutely easy to use, so she did not hesitate, from the very beginning when she first met the little man, she did not hesitate much.
It happened to be hit by Janet westero.
It's a little embarrassing.
But hum.
It's not about letting yourself get away with it.
At this moment, leaning against the bathtub, Celia Miller is smiling. In a moment, she thinks of Sophia faessy and a girl who is so depressed that she wants to go crazy.
Sophia fawcy asked her to go to girl b to ask for her own "welfare". Celia didn't feel that the other party meant well at the beginning. In fact, fawcy, who had been in Europe for a long time, knew that she couldn't stare at herself, so she used this small technique to arouse the vigilance of her closest ABCD circle.
However, if she is just a vase that entertains people with color, Sophia's small means may succeed.
Unfortunately, she is not.
Just as it happens, a little man obviously prefers a woman with outstanding ability to a vase. During this time, she has fully proved this to him. With the approval of little men, other girls' small skills of rejecting vases will not help.Now, after going further, her position around him will only be more stable.

"And what does Mr. westrow mean, Miss Knowles, about the fact that the westrow system has to come into contact to block the Hurst family after the reconciliation A girl said: "the boss said that the ban can be lifted, but the westrow system still will not have any cooperation with the Hurst group?" Andre Carney couldn't help but ask, "is it different from not lifting the ban?" A girl nodded: "at that time, westrow system will no longer prevent other companies from cooperating with Hurst group." Andre Carney thought about it and said, "at least, westero should have a statement in the paper."Girl a shook her head: "the boss won't agree with this statement. Mr. Carney, the boss's greatest kindness to the enemy is that they don't care. Don't expect him to do more." Andre Carney questioned, "Miss Knowles, are you making a decision for your boss now?" "Yes." "I don't think you have the right to make such a decision. Maybe you'd better discuss it with Mr. westerlow." "I know my boss and I know what decisions he will make." Andre Carney said, "but now that we have reconciled, we should no longer be enemies." "Mr. Carney, the so-called" reconciliation "is just your wishful thinking. For the boss, it's not" reconciliation ", it's just" letting go ". Do you understand?" Andre Carney felt some pity for his employer, but on the surface he still insisted: "if it's just like this, then the transaction between us is meaningless. If Mr. westlow wants my client to agree to those conditions, he must make a certain response, even a symbolic response, such as a simple advertising cooperation. girl a said: "the equity transfer of ESPN and the settlement of six lawsuits are the response of the westrow system. At that time, the public should understand what happened and there is no need for any additional symbolic response." Andre Carney has a bitter heart. In fact, this is not the case. As girl a just said, if the westero system does not give a public response, then in the eyes of outsiders, this is not really "reconciliation", but "letting go". This is definitely not what the Hurst family would like to see after paying a huge price. After bargaining with the girl in front of him for a while, Andre Carney had to leave and hurriedly told the results of the meeting to several members of the Hurst family who were waiting anxiously in New York. In the villa, after seeing off the lawyer of the Hurst family, girl a turns to an office on the first floor of the villa, calls someone to send a set of women's suits according to a certain size, and then turns on the computer to silently process some work e-mails. So until 5 o'clock in the afternoon, after work time, there was a knock outside the office. Aliya, an Indian girl, pushed the door in and said, "a, the boss is going out." Alison nodded, got up, picked up the papers and left the office. In a living room next to the living room, baby faced Zoe parks is helping Simon tie his tie. Isabel Dunn holds a coat to her chest and stands next to the man. Seeing girl a coming in, Simon asked with a smile, "how was the conversation?" Girl a handed several papers to aliya, took over Zoe's work, felt the man's breath at a close distance, and whispered: "the Hurst family should not agree too easily, but they have no choice." Simon just, um. Alison helps Simon tie his tie, takes the suit coat from Isabel and serves the man to put it on. She just frowns and looks like a wronged daughter-in-law. Simon waited for Alison to help him fasten the button, grabbed the girl's chin and raised it to him with a smile: "jealous again?" Girl a looks at the man and doesn't answer. She just blinks a few times. Simon bowed his head and said, "don't do that." The man's eyes are firm, but her tone is soft. Girl a only feels that a small knot in her heart is melting away quickly. In the twinkling of an eye, she feels that she should not. Well, it needs to be punished. The man seemed to see through her mind, came to whisper a few words, let her go, said: "well, good." With that, Simon did not wait for girl a to remind him again. He took the documents from aliya's hand that he was going to look through. Finally, he said goodbye to the girls and left the villa. In the afternoon, some work arrangements were cancelled due to some things, but there were two evening schedules, an evening dinner with Cisco CEO John Chambers and a reception hosted by Tim Berners Lee's family. Seeing her boss out, girl a took back her little daughter's look and asked Zoe, "I ordered a suit of clothes this afternoon. Did you bring it?" Zoe nodded and volunteered, "I'll get it." The master bedroom on the second floor of the villa. Alison came in with a dark blue suit and put her clothes in the small living room outside. She knocked on another door. When she got the response, she pushed the door in, but went directly to another connected bathroom. A moment later, she came out of the bathroom with a small tray and went to the big bed. On the big bed, a woman was lying lazily with a pillow in her arms. It's Simon's personal military assistant, Celia Miller. Noticing the stinky expression on Alison's face, Celia didn't care. With a smile, she motioned to the tray in girl a's hand: "a, what's this?"Alison put the tray on the bedside table, picked up the water cup, picked up a pill in the small plate, handed it over together, and said, "contraceptives." Celia was stunned. She shook her head and said, "there's no need. I'm safe today." Alison insisted, "it's the boss's order, Ms. Miller. I have to watch you take it yourself." Celia smell speech, and Alison eyes confrontation for a moment, soon smile again, said: "Simon will not do this, but, well, don't let you embarrassed." The woman said, sat up and took the water cup and pills, quickly took them, opened her mouth with a bit of ridicule, let girl a check, and then lay down, said: "a, can you help me prepare the bath water, so tired." When Celia just got up, she didn't hide it. Girl a noticed the woman's posture and thought of some words occasionally said by her boss. Some women only look good in clothes, but only a few of them look good in clothes or not. Celia Miller belongs to the latter. Seeing that Alison didn't move, the woman on the bed said, "by the way, a, Simon said you would help me prepare my clothes?" Alison looked back, nodded and said, "outside. Besides, Ms. Miller, can I help you with the car?" "Oh, no, I'm not going to leave tonight." A girl said: "the boss may bring other women back." "It doesn't matter. I don't mind being together." Bichi! Alison had to get up and bring in her clothes. Hearing that Celia mentioned the bath water again, she wanted to refuse. After thinking about it, she went back to the bathroom and decided that if the woman asked for dinner again, she would prepare a plate of salt for her. As a result, when the bath water was ready, Celia Miller mentioned dinner again and planned to do maintenance after dinner, asking Alison to help arrange it. In the master bedroom bathroom, looking at the young girl leaving almost in a little frenzy, Celia Miller leaned comfortably in the bathtub, and recalled all kinds of things during this period, she had a little sigh. She just flew back from France today. In this short period of half a month, she has made a circle around the earth and has been to Australia, Rwanda, Ukraine and France. In the whole process, she felt more and more that a little man was playing a big game of chess. Australia, Africa, Europe. Add North America. Through private military companies and some other layouts, once the final shape is smooth, it will be a huge private military network. In contrast, the private mercenaries owned by the Rockefeller family in their heyday were only pediatrics. As long as this big net is formed, the westero system will become a powerful economy with its own independent military strength. The more she understands this, the easier it is for Celia Miller to hold on to a little man. She hopes to have her own place in such a powerful economy, just like other strong women in the westero system. Therefore, during this period of time, she entered the state completely and unreservedly, and traveled all over the world for the benefit of the westero system. Today, I came to jiujinshan to report the success of my work during this period to the little man, and went further smoothly. Of course, she knew that there were so many women around the little man, and there were so many differences between them that it was impossible to produce such things as love. However, she knows better that if she wants to win the little man's full trust, she must have no reservation. Men often get a woman, will feel that each other can trust, will give each other enough trust. Although this is not true, Celia knows that this way is absolutely easy to use, so she did not hesitate, from the very beginning when she first met the little man, she did not hesitate much. It happened to be hit by Janet westero. It's a little embarrassing. But hum. It's not about letting yourself get away with it. At this moment, leaning against the bathtub, Celia Miller is smiling. In a moment, she thinks of Sophia faessy and a girl who is so depressed that she wants to go crazy. Sophia fawcy asked her to go to girl b to ask for her own "welfare". Celia didn't feel that the other party meant well at the beginning. In fact, fawcy, who had been in Europe for a long time, knew that she couldn't stare at herself, so she used this small technique to arouse the vigilance of her closest ABCD circle. However, if she is just a vase that entertains people with color, Sophia's small means may succeed. Unfortunately, she is not. Just as it happens, a little man obviously prefers a woman with outstanding ability to a vase. During this time, she has fully proved this to him. With the approval of little men, other girls' small skills of rejecting vases will not help.Now, after going further, her position around him will only be more stable.
