Sitting in the position that once belonged to his father, William Jr. did not have the excitement he imagined in his heart.

Even, there is a sense of some bleak absurdity.

When he sat in this position, the heavy pressure made him a little breathless.

It is only today that he understands what kind of pressure his father was under in the past.

It's just that he has no way out, his brothers look at him like enemies, and he has lost his most reliable ally in the group.

But William Jr. has no regrets, and Charlie Lee's stake is already a threat to him.

Although the action of buying minority shareholders is hidden, it is not an imperceptible secret for William, who controls the operation of the entire group.

The other party's power is too strong, and it's ridiculous that his father still thinks he can control the situation.

Since you can't compete, choose to cooperate.

This was William Jr.'s choice, and the retreat he found for the Hearst family.

He will do it regardless of whether anyone understands it or not.

"William. Standing in front of the office door with the door open, Li Zitao knocked on the door and joked: "Congratulations now, it's not too late, right?"

"I've been waiting for you, Charlie. William Jr. got up and walked around the large, thick mahogany desk, invited him in, and walked to the wine cabinet.

"Cheers to tomorrow. William Jr. raised his glass and said.

"For tomorrow... I like this statement. Li Zitao took a sip of the liquid in the cup and smiled.

I have to say that William Sr. is a smart enough person and has a unique vision.

The successor chosen for the Hearst Group was equally good, and after sensing his actions, he decisively chose to gain control of the Hearst Group at the lowest cost.

The taste under the fence is not pleasant, and the feeling of obeying orders and people is even more uncomfortable.

But these are better than being swept away, and William Jr. sees this very thoroughly, which is why he chose to work with him.

Li Zitao likes smart people, and William's choice can save him a lot of trouble.

And the secret agreement reached by the two also allowed Li Zitao to gain the dominance of the Hearst Group effortlessly.

Sometimes you don't have to kill the enemy to achieve the ultimate victory.

And the conversation and laughter between him and William Jr. are not completely hypocritical.

For now, at least, both sides are getting the results they want.

Although William kept his shares, all the voting rights held by his shares will be transferred to Li Zitao's name.

In fact, starting today, the person who speaks the most heavily at the shareholders' meeting is not the new chairman William Jr.

Rather, it is the second largest shareholder, Charlie Lee.

With enough power in his hands, whether LANC can gradually encroach on the Hearst Group depends on Harry.

If this still requires him, the boss, to come forward, are so many CEOs and executives at all levels under his command used to eat white food?

Harry's actions also did not disappoint him,

At the first shareholders' meeting after the New Year, the so-called two-year plan was proposed.

The cooperation between LANC and Hearst Group will only present a win-win situation, which can only benefit everyone.

By removing barriers and prejudices, they will have 70 percent of the American newspaper market.

In other words, on average, 7 out of 10 people in major cities buy two corporate newspapers.

Compared to Hearst's most brilliant achievement, which is 8 out of 10 people, it seems to fall short.

But given population growth, the overall market upswing and the number of newspaper companies, this figure can generate far more profits than Hearst at its peak.

The wavering shareholders were finally persuaded by Harry.

Little William, who has been smiling since the beginning of the meeting, only spoke briefly, and the bitterness at the corners of his mouth seemed to have increased a lot.

In the face of Harry's aggressiveness, he could only retreat step by step.

At this time, he seemed to understand what his father meant by 'pity'.

A temporary compromise will not change the fate of the Hearst Group, and as things stand, it won't be long before Lanc will take full control.

The three words Hearst would also be a thing of the past, something William Jr. tried so hard to avoid.

It's just that now he can only sit in the position of the scenery and watch these developments under his nose.

......

"Aren't you afraid that little William will jump off the wall in a hurry?" On the beach in front of the beachfront Holiday Inn on the beach, Li Zitao, Jonathan and Lawrence lay in a row.

And on the beach ahead, wives are treading water with their children and laughing and playing.

All three will appear here at the same time, thanks to Doris.

It was she who invited Mary, and then Mary invited Avril, and the three men appeared here together when they were free.

"His retreat has been ruined with his own hands, do you need to worry?" Li Zitao said indifferently as he looked at his wife by the sea.

William Jr.'s shares will be retained, and the name of the Hearst Group will also be retained in the future, which are inconsequential to Li Zitao.

However, the newspaper business, line facilities and channels that Hearst now owns will be the nutrients for the growth of Lanc.

I believe that this result William Jr. had already expected it, but he didn't want to admit it in his heart.

"Don't talk about Charlie, he's always ready to do it and talk about how Amex is, it's been in the limelight lately. Lawrence looked at Jonathan with interest.

As he said, Yuntong has really been in the limelight recently, but the reason is a little laughable.

A tourist stranded in the Netherlands finds the Amex branch in a semi-closed area with a traveler's check from Amex.

He had only one request, to cash the check and send him home by all means possible.

Because of the war, there was no 'contact' between the Dutch branch and the headquarters, because someone was listening to their communications.

The check in the customer's hand had been sold during the war, which made the branch staff feel embarrassed.

However, thinking that the other party was willing to use all the money after cashing in to fulfill his wish to let him go home, the head of the branch was still willing to facilitate the deal.

50,000 US dollars to send a person back to the United States from the Netherlands.

It was definitely the biggest business of the year, with a thousand-fold profit, and there was no reason why they would refuse.

As a result, Yuntong bribed the Italian officers at the port to get him on board the freighter smoothly.

At the same time, just to be on the safe side, a branch staff member also accompanied him on the way home.

After two transfers, they returned to New York on a freighter belonging to the United States.

The first thing the staff who accompanied him back to get off the ship was to take him to the headquarters to confirm that he was the real owner of the check.

But unexpectedly, after the other party stepped on land, he took the initiative to admit that he was lying.

"I picked up that check by accident, I didn't mean to take possession of it, I just wanted to go home. He so generously confessed his lie.

But what he did was not unforgivable, and the owner of the cheque was also confirmed to have suffered an accident, and Amex returned the cheque to the victim's family in time.

It's just that what to do with this man who wants to go home and chooses to deceive but has no serious consequences has become a new focus of public attention.

As the protagonist, Yuntong has also become a little popular because of this.
