Li Mochen's eyes couldn't help but condense slightly: "That is unless Ferguson Culture Media Company collapses."
"I'm not kidding you."
Nanette Drew was very serious: "Boss, do you know how much money Ferguson has spent on acquisitions in order to expand his media empire in the past two years? How many loans have they taken on for this? Last year, they had 320 million gold shields.
, this year it is 450 million gold shields. In addition, Ferguson Company has also obtained a commercial loan of 720 million gold shields, which brings their debt ratio to an exaggerated 92%."
"This is incredible for a media company with meager profits, right? And all of this depends on Mandivian Ferguson's income in the publishing industry. Especially textbooks from primary school to high school, which are the most profitable in the publishing industry
business. And now 17.5% of the teaching materials in the entire city of Atlanta are currently contracted by Ferguson Cultural Media Company, including your current
Lyndon College where he studied. The reason why he was able to win such a huge share is because Arnold, the current chairman of the Atlanta Board of Education, is his cousin. In addition, he also has many positions in the Ministry of Education.
A close personal relationship. So much so that the teaching materials became the cash cow of Ferguson Culture and Media Company, and also became the source of confidence for banks to continue lending to him.”
"You mean, as long as we cut off this cash cow, we can put Ferguson Culture Media out of business?"
Li Mochen pondered: "However, the assets of Ferguson Company itself are as high as more than 5.2 billion gold shields. As for loans, I guess this will not be his fatal flaw. Also, if Mandivian Ferguson is so easy to be defeated
, and we won’t wait until now.”
"If others can't do it, it doesn't mean I can't do it, boss."
Ms. Drew let out a clear laugh: "The two newspapers and a cable TV station that Ferguson has acquired in the past two years have not yet achieved break-even, especially the latter, which has a monthly loss of up to 4,200 yuan.
Wan Jindun. And the current business model of this person is to use his influence on public opinion to obtain more teaching contracts from the political circles. And the latter brings
The income can further feed back his media empire, but now, it is when he is at his weakest, it is the eve of dawn. Boss, I have Arnold’s handle in my hands, and with the help of Firefly Media, I am confident that he will be able to win in ten years.
He will be put in jail within days. In addition, I am also confident that I will take over more than half of the textbook publishing business from Ferguson Company."
"If so—"
The sparkle in Li Mochen's eyes flashed: "Ms. Drew, just go ahead and do it. Whether it's money or force, I can be your solid backing."
Now that Nanette Drew has given him a guarantee, why should he back down?
If that doesn't work, then just use force. With the power of a demigod, is it possible that it will be suppressed by this small media group with a market value of less than 1.5 billion?
He also secretly sighed in his heart, this Nannette Drew was not only well-informed, but also had very sharp thinking and intuition, and was also very skillful. It can be said that he was lucky to be able to recruit him under his banner.
"Understood! Then I will go to Firefly Media tomorrow. Regarding Ferguson, I will start to fight back three days after taking over Firefly."
At this time, Nanette Drew said another thing: "By the way, boss, I have a plan now. I want to get your approval. I am going to allocate manpower to other places besides the Southern Cable TV Station.
Build a new current affairs station.”
"Current Affairs Channel?"
Li Mochen raised his eyebrows: "This seems to be a new word?"
"It's my original creation."
Nanette Drew explained with a smile: "They broadcast current affairs programs 24 hours a day, including news, political commentary programs, political-related talk shows, etc., and strive to be timely and professional. Such TV stations are the only ones in America.
It’s the first of its kind. I plan to give it a try and rely on the Southern Cable TV Station for the time being, and then split it up after the ratings reach a certain scale. However, it is expected to be very expensive at the beginning.”
Li Mochen couldn't help but rub his eyebrows with his fingers. He knew that this 24-hour current affairs station contained the ambition of Ms. Drew.
"First make a planning project for me. Also, how much budget do we need? Ms. Drew, my financial resources are still very limited now, so you have to work within your ability."

Li Mochen, who returned to the Unicorn Apartment again, immediately put the four stones of destiny he got from Anthony into the 'Shenxiao Spiritual Purple Gold Tower'.
The latter has not changed much, except that there is a condensed orb on the top of the pagoda. It is about the size of a thumb and feels like metal. It doesn't look surprising, but the efficiency of the 'Shenxiao Lingyun Purple Gold Pagoda' in converting external merits
But it has greatly improved, reaching the height of ten rays a day, plus the twenty-two rays he has now. In one day, he can accumulate thirty-two rays of merit.
In addition, Li Mochen guessed that the 'wish-fulfilling' ability of this tower would also be greatly enhanced. This is because the several Stones of Destiny absorbed by the 'Shenxiao Spiritual Purple Gold Pagoda' had been strengthened in this regard.
Otherwise, he might not have been able to severely damage King Xu Ye to that extent yesterday with less than two hundred strands of merit energy.
Of course, Li Mochen still needs to do some experiments to verify the specific extent of the enhancement.
After the Stone of Destiny, Li Mochen took out the 'Tears of Amphitrite' and spent half a day swallowing three drops at a time!
This strengthened his physique a little, and his wounded soul was partially healed again.
If before, after Li Mochen absorbed the divine spring of life, his soul could reach the level of leaving the body, then now, it is at least the early stage of the 'Return to Void' state, which is about the 19th level of this world, and has recovered about 40%.
Half the degree.
One of the benefits this brought to Li Mochen was that his control over his body was once again strengthened. He could now control the newly added strength in his body without much exercise.
For Li Mochen, this is a timely help. After all, not long after this, he will integrate the power talent of an 'Iron Claw Behemoth' lord, ushering in another surge in strength and physique.
Before the NHLSAA competition, he didn't have much time to practice his control.
However, after using three 'Tears of Amphitrite', Li Mochen felt that his soul was filled with a sense of fullness, which meant that he could not continue until he completely refined the power of these three spiritual springs.
Absorb more 'Amphitrite's Tears', or other similar drugs.
In addition, it will become more and more difficult for him to recover from his injuries. There is a huge threshold between level 20 and level 20, from legend to demigod. And the same is true for his divine soul.
Now, in addition to needing more medicine, his own magic power cultivation and the fusion of the original owner's soul are all indispensable.
Li Mochen thought to himself that it was time to start investigating the truth behind the death of the original owner's parents. In the original version, Li Mochen had already achieved more than half of his pursuit of power, wealth and status. Now, the only obsession with Li Chunchu and his wife still straddles them.
