Chapter 2074 quick battle
Chapter 2074 Quick decision
After deciding to help Ellison achieve these three goals and gain the opportunity to pursue Lydia, Lin Feng and Ellison immediately took action.
The first goal was to help the Hearst family defeat Pulitzer. Lin Feng and Ellison immediately used all their contacts and intelligence systems to collect relevant intelligence. According to the summary of intelligence from both parties, the Pulitzer family was as good as the Hearst family.
Likewise, the situation is not too good. Although the two families were both newspaper tycoons in the past, with the death of the souls of the two families and the rise of new tycoons such as Murdoch, the two families can only barely maintain their existence.
The status of a newspaper tycoon is far removed from its heyday.
But even so, it is really not an easy task to help the Hearst family defeat Pulitzer. Both parties are selling newspapers. If you want the other company to fall, unless the other party breaks a scandal and affects its image, there is no way.
Readers should subscribe again. It is not difficult to do this with the strength of Lin Feng and Ellison. As long as they continue to spread the scandal of the Pulitzer family in the market and send people to instigate them at critical moments.
The Hearst family made a wrong choice, just like William Hearst's most ridiculous decision to support Germany in World War I. At that time, William Hearst's decision directly led to the "New York News"
》Almost went bankrupt.
Through these means, the market share of the Pulitzer family newspaper will be gradually weakened, and eventually it will be heavily in debt and declare bankruptcy. This is a good means, especially in today's fiercely competitive media era, let alone Lin
If Feng and Ellison take action, I am afraid that the Pulitzer family themselves may make mistakes. But this move takes too long. It can be as short as three to five years, or as long as seven or eight years. And Ellison's move
Age, if we wait another seven or eight years, then the day lilies will be cold.
Although Lydia said that she would not date anyone until Ellison voluntarily gave up pursuing her. But even seven or eight years later, Lydia was still less than 30 years old, which was very young. On the contrary, Ellison
But he is already 70. So what if he is allowed to chase Lidya? I'm afraid they can only talk about love.
Therefore, we must cut through the mess quickly and achieve a quick victory.
"Lin, do you have any good ideas?" Ellison asked.
"Ellison, if you want to quickly solve the Pulitzer family, there is only one way to attack Pulitzer Company through the financial market. The current share price of Pulitzer Company is about US$72, and its arrears of bank assets are as high as US$306 million, and its liabilities are
The rate is as high as 18%, which is an extremely threatening figure. As long as we snipe their stocks in the financial market and force their stock prices to fall below $30, the banks will press for debt. At that time, the Pulitzer family will be in a hurry. You know
, their soul figure Jay Pulitzer has just passed away, and the family is currently in chaos because of the fight for the person in charge. This is an opportunity!" Lin Feng's eyes flashed with a strange light.
Ellison also has piercing eyes, and he will defeat anyone who stops him from pursuing love. Just like his shopping mall motto: I need more than just success, everyone else must fail.
"By the way, Ellison, if you really want to completely conquer Lydia and make her not just give you a chance, but fall in love with you completely, I think we don't just want to defeat Pulitzer
, we can do more. At least your father-in-law Austin has nothing to say." Lin Feng's lips curved slightly.
"What do you mean? Do you have any other plans?" Ellison's eyes flashed with an indescribable light. Based on his understanding of Lin Feng, when such a smile appears on Lin Feng's face, it usually means that Lin Feng
Feng has come up with some disgusting idea again.
"Your future father-in-law..."
"Hey, can you stop talking about your future father-in-law all the time? It's so awkward for me to hear that!" Ellison said depressedly.
Isn't it? Austin is several years younger than Ellison. The two have been friends for the past twenty years, and suddenly he becomes his father-in-law, who is twice his age. This makes Ellison suddenly
I really can't accept it.
"Okay, okay, don't mention it. But sooner or later it will be your father-in-law." Lin Feng muttered, and Ellison naturally had a headache.
"If you want Austin to completely accept your identity and make Lydia completely fascinated by you, the best way is to give Pulitzer to Lydia as your proposal gift!" Lin Feng said.
What? Give Pulitzer to Lydia as a proposal gift! - Ellison was surprised when he first heard it, but then he became more excited. If he really gave Pulitzer to Lydia, then
It is really the best proposal gift. Think about it, the two families have been fighting in the newspaper industry for a lifetime, and in the end all the newspapers under the Pulitzer Company were annexed by the Hearst family. Oh dear, this is so sincere! Come to think of it
It was exciting, and Ellison could imagine the light on his old friend Austin's face.
"Okay, let's do it like this. But if we buy it, Pulitzer may not sell it." Ellison asked hesitantly.
Although the Pulitzer family is not what it used to be, it is not a small role that is still being rubbed by others. If you know that you and Lin Feng have sniped at their stocks, and you still want to buy them, you will definitely not sell them to yourself. You may not know when the time comes.
, the Pulitzer family would rather sell the family real estate to repay debts and maintain the operations of Pulitzer Company. The total assets of all the Pulitzer family's real estate are as high as 15 billion U.S. dollars. If this fight continues, when will it be a break?
.
"Haha, don't worry. I have thought of this a long time ago. We can bribe another newspaper company. When we are almost done and want to acquire it, this newspaper company will come forward to fight us. I think Pulitzer Company
It should be sold soon. Then I can give it to Lidya!" Lin Feng said confidently.
Ellison clapped his hands and laughed.
"Not only that, I heard that the Pulitzer family has been in constant civil strife. Since Jay's death, one of his granddaughters named Leisel is reportedly planning to take her father and some cousins to court for accusations due to inheritance and other reasons.
They seek to seize their legal inheritance rights and transfer 1 billion US dollars privately. I think this is what we can use. Let the entire Pulitzer family become a mess, it is best to break up, then Austin will be even more relieved." Ellison
His eyes flashed with a sharp light.
"Haha, yes, this is also a way. In this way, we will move forward together, leave the stock market to me, and leave the matter of instigating their internal rebellion to you." Lin Feng laughed.
Immediately, Lin Feng and Ellison jointly spent 1 billion U.S. dollars, and Lin Feng entrusted Soros to take charge of sniping Pulitzer's stock. With a huge fund of 1 billion U.S. dollars, Soros, a financial genius and no matter the cost,
Under the sniper attack, Pulitzer's stock price plummeted in just a few days. At the same time, all kinds of negative news were exposed to the world. It was said that the Pulitzer family was in constant civil strife, because the chairman's position in the family was
There was a lot of fighting, and soon it was announced that some of Pulitzer's heirs were ready to sell the company and enjoy life.
All kinds of negative news are overwhelming, making the members of the Pulitzer family confused. They don't understand why there is so much negative news suddenly, and there are people who are sniping at their company's stock regardless of the cost. How is all this happening?
Already?
Originally, they had the opportunity to fight back. After all, as a company with a history of more than 120 years, Pulitzer still has a good reputation and good image in the minds of investors. However, the Pulitzer family has been arguing over who should serve as the spokesperson.
.After all, whoever steps forward at this time will be the spokesperson of Pulitzer Company. Therefore, there is no internal fighting. In addition, at this time, Lesser directly killed his father Robert, cousins, and half of his compatriots.
Everyone took it to court. Half of the core members of the Pulitzer family were sued by him, and this instantly became a hot topic around the world.
Faced with Lesser's accusation, the entire Pulitzer family rioted. They all angrily accused Lesser of being shameless and ungrateful. In particular, his father Robert was so angry that he rushed directly to the set of Lesser to accuse his father and mother. As a result, the family members
This farce directly ruined a new play of Leisel, an actor, and made Leisel even more resentful of these relatives who had enriched his assets.
Naturally, the two sides fell into a quarrel and couldn't make peace. At this time, who would care about the Pulitzer Company? After all, the total assets of the Pulitzer Company were only US$1.4 billion. This was still the previous price. Now,
It is estimated to be only about 800 million U.S. dollars. However, the assets of the entire Pulitzer family are 15 billion U.S. dollars. It is easy to distinguish which is more important.
Under this situation, Lin Feng and Ellison naturally would not let go. They continued to spread the news about the Pulitzer family's internal strife and continued to suppress it regardless of the cost. In the end, they successfully suppressed Pulitzer's stock to below 30 US dollars. This
At that time, Ellison used his little influence in the banking industry to urge the banks to ask Pulitzer to repay their debts, which caused Pulitzer's stock price to fall even lower. Finally, a newspaper company that had been found in advance came to discuss the acquisition of Pulitzer.
strategy company, and offered a "high price" of US$45 per share to acquire it.
Under pressure from the bank, the stock price plummeting, and the niece's appeal, many members of the Pulitzer family unanimously agreed to sell Pulitzer to this company, which is not well-known in the American press. The transaction price
The price is US$40 per share, totaling US$1.02 billion. Its subsidiaries such as the St. Louis Dispatch and the Arizona Daily Star will naturally be owned by the acquired newspaper company.
At this point, a newspaper company with a history of more than 120 years has disappeared. But at this time, the whole Pulitzer Company farce has not yet been played, and the lawsuit is still being fought. The whole city is watching, paying close attention to this farce, and finally
What will it evolve into?
