"Little sister, I think your idea is very good and feasible." Xia Tian nodded and smiled, "I think you can try it."

"Really, brother, do you really support my decision?" Xia Xue said happily when she saw Xia Tian agreeing with her opinion.

"Of course." Xia Tian nodded, "and I want you to be responsible for this matter yourself. You have to convince the company's shareholders yourself, and you have to personally select someone to discuss the acquisition plan. In addition, you have to find a way to settle the disputes caused by the acquisition."

Xia Xue is already twenty-five years old this year, she is already an adult, and will finish her bachelor's degree this year. In her previous life, she is graduating from university and can go out to work.

Xia Tian hopes that she can stand alone, instead of always hiding under his wings. So he wants to treat this acquisition as a training session.

Successful acquisition is certainly a good thing. Even if it fails, it will lose by hundreds of millions of dollars, and it is no big deal. As long as the younger sister gets training, the hundreds of millions of dollars will be regarded as paying tuition fees.

"I'm responsible for it myself?! Can I do it?" Xia Xue said with some confidence.

"Why can't it be? My brother didn't graduate from high school and came out to conquer the world at the age of 20. You are a top student at Stanford University, so you must know more than me." Xia Tian smiled, "Believe in your own strength, little sister, you can."

"Yeah." Xia Xue nodded when she heard Xia Tian say this, "I understand, brother."

...

Xia Xue then launched the acquisition of Hannah Barbara Animation Company.

But the start was not smooth. When shareholders of Snow Media heard that Xia Xue was going to acquire this waning animation company, they kept rejecting it except Ted Turner.

Ted Turner, like Xia Xue, believes in the business strategy of "content is king". He believes that if Snow Media wants to stand out among many American cable TV companies, it must have high-quality content that other channels do not have.

Although Hannah Barbara Animation Company is now in a diminishing way and no longer as brave as it used to be, it still has many excellent works, such as "Popeye", "Scooby Dog", "Modern Primitive Man", "Under the Sea Elves", etc. These works are still very charming, and I believe they can attract many viewers to watch.

Moreover, the bid for the acquisition is not too expensive. Ted Turner also thinks it is very cost-effective to win this giant in the aesthetic animation industry with US$300 million.

However, more shareholders believe that the acquisition of Hannah Barbara is a mistake.

"It's not the golden age of Saturday animation. Animation companies like Hannah Barbara have no market."

"If this company had such potential, Taft Broadcasting Corporation would not be sold. In fact, it has been operating for twenty-five years and has a lot of experience than us, and it is difficult to reverse Hannah Barbara's predicament. Can we recover from the dead when we take over?"

"This acquisition will cost at least $200 million. The profits it can bring are unpredictable, so I oppose this acquisition."

The shareholders spoke one after another.

...

Faced with the unanimous rejection of shareholders, Xia Xue couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

She originally thought that acquiring Hannah Barbara Animation Company was a good thing and would be recognized by all shareholders. But she didn't expect that she had hit so many nails in the first shareholders' meeting, which was really beyond her expectations.

"Okay, let's go to the meeting first." Xia Xue was forced to announce that the first meeting ended in a hurry and no goal was achieved.

After the shareholders left, Xia Xue stayed alone in the conference room and was in a very depressed mood.

Although she served as the chairman of Snow Media for more than two years, she has never been responsible for the company's specific affairs. Her role is to cover up the summer.

But now she finally wanted to do something, but she didn't expect that if she really wanted to do something, she would encounter so many obstacles. Through this incident, she also understood how difficult it is to start such a large company in summer and do earth-shaking things.

"Oh, what would he do if the elder brother did this?" Xia Xue couldn't help thinking.

At this moment, she wanted to ask Xia Tian for advice. However, she felt that it would be useless to ask for help as soon as she encountered a problem, so she gave up this idea.

"Miss Xia~" At this moment, as soon as the door of the conference room opened, Ted Turner walked in, "You haven't left yet?"

"Mr. Turner~" Xia Xue quickly stood up, "You haven't left either?"

"I'm about to leave." Ted Turner smiled, "Why, I'm in a bad mood?"

"No, no." Xia Xue waved her hand, not wanting people to see her fragile side.

"I can understand your mood." Ted Turner smiled. "The first time you proposed a constructive idea, you were rejected by so many people. It is natural to have a bad mood. But don't be too sad, those people are not worth it."

"Thank you, Mr. Turner." Xia Xue nodded, "Thank you for your support at the meeting just now."

"You have to be polite, to be honest, I agree with your plan." Ted Turner said again.

"It's a pity that other shareholders disagree." Xia Xue said regretfully. She had not yet figured out how to convince those people.

"In fact, it's not difficult to ask them to agree." Ted Turner smiled, "You can ask someone to give a feasibility report so that these shareholders can see the benefits of the acquisition, so that they will naturally support you.

After all, this acquisition will cost $200 million, and it is worth being cautious."

When Xia Xue heard this, she nodded.

Indeed, her preliminary plan was not fully prepared, and it is no wonder that these shareholders were unwilling to buy it.

"But if they refuse after I made a feasibility report, what should we do?" Xia Xue thought about it and asked worriedly.

"That's very simple. If you are sure that your choice is right and you know that doing so will be beneficial, then don't worry about what others think. You are the major shareholder, and if they force their votes, they have to agree if they don't agree." Ted Turner smiled.

"Will this seem a little too domineering?" Xia Xue hesitated when she heard this.

She always feels that forcibly voting is a bit like using power to suppress others.

"If you want to do big things, you must make a decision. If you hesitate and want to please everyone, you will be destined to be unable to do anything." Ted Turner smiled, "Your brother must understand this principle more than you, otherwise he will not get my Turner Broadcasting Company."

Xia Xue blinked and then laughed, "Thank you, Mr. Turner, I know what to do."
