Chapter 2076 The prototype of a media empire
"Lydia, let's talk business now!" Ellison said seriously.
Lydia had come all the way on her own in these years, and she soon recovered from her slightly disappointed mood, looking at Ellison with a smile of a professional woman.
"Take a look at this." Ellison handed Lydia a document.
Lydia opened it and exclaimed. This document was clearly the equity document of "Pulitzer Company". The names of the equity owners on it were clearly written Lin Feng and Ellison, and the shares owned by the two
, exceeding 57% of "Pulitzer Company".
"Isn't it an American newspaper company that acquired 'Pulitzer Company'? This newspaper company has existed in the American newspaper industry for seven or eight years." Lydia murmured. Regarding the changes in "Pulitzer Company" during this period,
The Hearst family is naturally concerned. The Hearst family is also aware of the American newspaper company that acquired the Pulitzer Company. This company was founded in the 1990s and is small in scale, but it has been developing. No
It's really surprising to think of this sudden attack.
I originally thought that the American press had another powerful enemy, but I never thought that the shares of the "Pulitzer Company" were actually in the hands of these two men. This is really surprising. Could it be..., neither is Lydia.
That kind of woman who only has a face but no IQ, she immediately figured it out.
"You entrusted this newspaper called 'California Daily' to acquire 'Pulitzer Company'?" Lydia analyzed.
Ellison shook his head thinking about it.
"It's not a commission, but we acquired the 'California Daily', and then acquired the 'Pulitzer Company' through the 'California Daily'." Ellison said calmly, as if he was just taking a sip of water.
That's all.
Lydia was shocked. How could she not be shocked? This Ellison actually took the biggest rival that the Hearst family has always had a headache into his hands. First, he sniped at the stock of "Pulitzer Company" and suppressed it.
Below the real value, and then another newspaper company directly purchases it at a "high price", forcing the Pulitzer family to submit. This is a very clever move. If the Pulitzer family knew the truth of the matter, they would be angry to death.
.
"Not only that, in order to completely discredit the Pulitzer family and vent your anger, I also persuaded Lisa to accuse Pulitzer family members of embezzling her deserved inheritance." Ellison said with a smile.
If Ellison told other people about this, they would definitely call Ellison despicable. But to Lydia and the Hearst family, no one in the Hearst family would call Ellison despicable.
Because the Pulitzer family is the sworn enemy of their family, no matter what method is used against the sworn enemy, as long as they can win.
As expected, the light in Lydia's eyes shone even brighter. Looking at Ellison, her eyes were complicated and melancholy. It was obvious that she was gradually attracted to Ellison. And this is what Lin Feng wanted. All of this was Lin Feng's.
Feng and Ellison did it together, and Lin Feng even took the initiative in it. But at this time, Lin Feng naturally wanted to give all the credit to Ellison. What is a brother, that is, when a brother is busy, he should help,
Help at any cost.
"Now I can transfer this equity to you." Ellison's words were earth-shattering.
Lydia was stunned. Originally, she thought that Ellison took out this equity as a kind of proof to prove how outstanding he was and worthy of her. But she never thought that Ellison would actually give Pulley
Transfer the equity of the company to yourself.
This...this...is really unexpected. Is it to move myself completely? But Ellison is not like such a man. What he wants is the kind of complete conquest, so he is attracted by his charm, and
You don’t get yourself by relying on gratitude. This is one of the shortcomings of successful men, and of course it is also an advantage. Only men who are generous and confident are fascinating!
"Why...why?" Lydia asked blankly.
"It's very simple, cooperation! Complete cooperation!" Ellison said word by word.
"Cooperation? What do you mean?" Lydia asked confused.
"It's my turn to explain." At this time, Lin Feng naturally could no longer remain silent. Ellison pursued Lydia because he was fascinated by her. But Lin Feng saw an opportunity in it, a chance to build a
Opportunity for a media empire.
Lin Feng has always been at a disadvantage in Western society. Except for a few extremely serious and authoritative newspapers such as The Times, which will comment on him in a neutral manner, most of the other newspapers paint him in a bad light, which has brought a lot of trouble to Lin Feng.
A little troublesome. Although Lin Feng has roughly grasped the Internet trends, through "Baidu Yahoo" and "Google", Lin Feng can control a lot of information on the Internet, but it is better to decentralize than to block. This is going to ***
Those who deliberately portray people in a negative light will cause trouble and be taken advantage of by people with malicious intentions.
Therefore, Lin Feng has always wanted to build a real media empire, a media empire of his own. In China, Lin Feng knew that was impossible. But abroad, to be honest, his identity as a Chinese has made him in many
In fact, it is very disadvantageous. Foreign countries are on guard against it. Even though it has acquired some TV stations, in fact, except for Houston TV station, which is sought after by fans because of its "Houston Rockets", all other international TV stations are completely boycotted, and even
Pressure from all aspects of the government has prevented Lin Feng's media empire from taking shape.
Therefore, this time Ellison pursued Lydia, Lin Feng thought about building a business empire through Lydia.
"Why do you want to sell me all the shares of 'Pulitzer Company'? Ellison can do the same thing! Didn't you successfully cooperate with 'Forest Screening Room' before?" Lydia was puzzled. It stands to reason.
Speaking of which, Ellison and Lin Feng are close buddies. Wouldn't it be better to let Ellison build a media empire as an American? How could he take a detour to find her? Lydia couldn't understand this.
"Lydia, you all know that Ellison is my best friend, and people outside know even more. A 'forest screening room' has aroused a lot of suspicion and dissatisfaction. If I go to build a business through Ellison,
The empire will probably be under a lot of pressure. And you will be a very good partner for me." Lin Feng explained helplessly.
Lydia suddenly realized.
"But these things should be discussed with my father, not with me." Lydia still doesn't understand. She is not familiar with how to manage a newspaper company. Her father Austin should be more familiar and experienced in this regard. From the perspective of maximizing interests,
In other words, you should go to Austin instead of her. Besides, aren't Ellison and Austin friends for many years?
"The problem lies in maximizing profits. First of all, Austin is a very conservative person. He may not be willing to help me build a media empire. After all, I am not Chinese. Secondly, this time we will transfer the Pulitzer Company
We give it to you with conditions. That is, we will help you become the first heir to the Hearst family assets, allowing you to become the head of the Hearst family in the future. If the Hearst family newspaper and Puli
If the company's newspapers are completely merged, I think it will become the largest newspaper group in the United States. To me, this is the best way to maximize profits." Lin Feng said with a smile.
In fact, there is one thing that Lin Feng has not said yet. That is, once Ellison marries Lydia in the future, almost the entire Hearst family's newspaper will be considered Ellison's. And Ellison's and his own
There is no difference. On the contrary, if you cooperate with Austin, then Austin may not always follow his own will. Therefore, working with Lydia is the best partner.
"You want to swallow us Hester?" Lydia was on guard instinctively.
"Haha, that's wrong, Lydia, we will not swallow up Hearst. Again, we will never swallow up Hearst, nor will we hold any shares in the Hearst family. We just hope to be able to
Cooperate with someone who has a common language. Austin will not help me deal with my enemies wholeheartedly, but you will." Lin Feng explained with a smile.
"Why do you think so?" Lydia asked strangely.
"It's very simple. Because you are my brother's wife, you are naturally my sister-in-law. How can a sister-in-law not help her brother?" Lin Feng said politely.
Bah! Lydia spat lightly, two blushes rising on her face.
If Lin Feng had said this three days ago, Lydia would have definitely turned her back. But now, she has gradually developed a liking for Ellison. Of course, it is not the kind of affection between a man and a woman, but a girl's affection for a successful man.
His admiration, Ellison's thoughtfulness, and Ellison's self-confidence are all things that other peers cannot achieve. This feeling is very safe. And for a girl who has lived in the shadows since she was a child, only a sense of security can be achieved.
is the most important.
Age is important, but it is not unchangeable.
"Lydia, this is the contract for our cooperation. The contract stipulates that we will transfer Pulitzer Company and California Daily to you for free, and you will serve as the president of Pulitzer Company and California Daily.
.If you sell even one share of 'Pulitzer Company' or 'California Daily' in the future, we have the right to get back all the shares for free. At the same time, we will help you compete for the position of the first heir to the Hearst family. First of all,
We will inject US$1 billion into these two companies, and you will have full rights to allocate them, which can be used to supplement the Hearst family in exchange for your status as the first heir. We will not have any obligation to you in terms of this expenditure.
Restrictions." Lin Feng pointed to the contract and explained.
Lidia frowned slightly. This contract has almost no restrictions on her. It can be said that as long as she does not sell her shares, she will have the final say on "Pulitzer Company" and "California Daily".
Even if he didn't help Lin Feng, Lin Feng had no right to repay the money to the society.
"You really trust me!" Lydia sighed.
Lin Feng smiled slightly.
