Jacob Rothschild groaned, but he didn't agree immediately, and his heart quickly considered.

To be honest, he didn't want to let Xia Yu's strength continue to grow before he controlled Xia Yu.

Even if it can't be controlled, the strength that can be strengthened as much as possible is in the United States, not in the United Kingdom, because the greater Xia Yu's influence and strength in the United Kingdom, the lower his dependence on their Rothschild family will be, and the easier it will be to rebel.

The Mirror Group Newspaper Company is such a company that has a great influence bonus, and if Xia Yu succeeds, it will be contrary to their plan.

The Mirror Group Newspaper Company is the top media giant in the United Kingdom, now controlled by the Cecil King family, and is one of the three major newspaper groups in the United Kingdom, which has successively annexed well-known media companies such as the United Press Group and the Oldans Magazine Group.

The Guy Mirror Group owns four national best-selling newspapers, "Daily Mirror", "Sports Life", "Sunday Daily Mirror" and "Sunday People's Daily", each of which sells more than one million copies a day.

It also has 47 regional newspapers, including the Daily Record, which is influential in Scotland.

The Mirror Group accounts for about 30 percent of the country's national newspaper circulation, and local newspapers account for about 8 percent.

In addition to newspapers, the Mirror Group also owns 90 kinds of weekly magazines, 123 biweekly, monthly and quarterly magazines, some of which account for more than 60% of the total circulation of similar magazines.

And that's just in the strength of the Mirror Group in the British print media sector.

The Mirror Group has grown since the last century, and now it has become an international media company, it has publishing companies in the United States, Nigeria, Italy, France, Spain and other countries, and these foreign companies add up to more than 90 newspapers and magazines.

Moreover, the Mirror Group is also a major shareholder of the United Television Company of the United Kingdom, holding 31.2 percent of the shares, and the main company of the Clyde Broadcasting Company, holding 35.4 percent of the shares.

The United Television Corporation is a media company formed in addition to the UK's major national television giants, and although it does not have a national television station, it owns 13 of the country's 158 private local television stations and owns 67 of the 1,200 private radio stations.

Clyde Broadcasting is the second largest manufacturer of radio broadcasting equipment in the UK.

It can be seen that the Mirror Group has a very strong influence and is the leading media giant in the United Kingdom.

Last year, when Xia Yu was thinking about buying a media company in the UK, he noticed it, but after thinking about it carefully, he found that he couldn't buy the company at all, so he didn't make up his mind again.

But now that Jacob Rothschild has come to the door, Xia Yu has seized the opportunity.

Today, the Mirror Group is controlled by the Cecil King family, and the Rothschild family does not hold any stake in it.

But Xia Yu knows that the Cecil King family is the younger brother of the Rothschild family, and their strength is not limited to the media field, mainly following the Rothschild family in other important fields.

Xia Yu believes that as long as Jacob Rothschild, the master of the Cecil King family, speaks, he will definitely be able to buy it easily!

Cecil King's family will not be reluctant to sell, because according to the historical trajectory, their family sold the Mirror Group to Robert Maxwell in 1984, making Robert Maxwell instantly the king of the British newspaper industry.

Xia Yu is not bad for the money to buy the Mirror Group, but what he lacks is the ability to solve the troubles encountered in the acquisition.

If he can buy the Mirror Group, combined with the Financial Times Company and the Daily Telegraph, which Xia Yu originally owned, then his strength in the British paper media field will jump to the first place, and everyone will give him three points of face.

It is precisely because of this that Jacob Rothschild is hesitant.

But Xia Yu made a request, if he didn't help, then Xia Yu could naturally refrain from selling the shares of the Royal Bank of Scotland to them, and it would be shameless for them to mention it again.

After all, he has always boasted that the Rothschild family is strong in the UK, but Xia Yu's first request for cooperation could not be completed, and he definitely slapped himself in the face.

For a while, Rao was Jacob Rothschild's old spicy, and he didn't know how to solve the problem that Xia Yu threw out now.

Seeing that Jacob Rothschild was silent for a long time, Xia Yu smiled lightly, leaned back on the back of the chair lightly, and observed his expression.

The two people who came with Jacob Rotheschild couldn't help but be secretly anxious, but they didn't dare to disturb Jacob Rothschild to make a decision, so they could only look at him expectantly.

"Mr. Jacob, if the Rothesmine family thinks something is difficult, then I will think of another way, maybe the other families can find a way. ”

Xia Yu suddenly said nonchalantly, as if the intention just now was just a casual mention.

It's just that these words stopped in the ears of Jacob Rothschild and others, but they were extremely harsh.

Xia Yu is provoking them.

The Rothesmine family is testing him and forcing him, and now he is also giving them problems, anyway, whether Jacob Rothel agrees or not, Xia Yu doesn't care.

It's okay to agree, if you can win the Mirror Group and make yourself a British media giant, you can also use the strength of the Rothschild family to develop rapidly, but the disadvantage is that it will get closer and closer to the Rothschild family, no matter what the facts are, outsiders will judge Xia Yu and the Rothschild family all the way, and some troubles that would not have existed will suddenly appear, such as being wary of some big families.

It's better if they don't agree, and the Rothschild family will get so much bank equity, and it will be difficult for them to infiltrate Xia Yu's company logically in the future, and Xia Yu can refuse them calmly.

The former is that the struggle between the two sides will take place in secret, and Xia Yu will face greater pressure; the latter is that the struggle may be superficial, and it will be difficult for the Rothchild family to subtly control Xia Yu.

It can only be said that there are pros and cons to both, and it depends on who is better.

After weighing the pros and cons for a long time, Jacob Rothschild was ruthless, confident that Xia Yu alone would not be able to fight the elite of the Rothschild family, and was ready to agree to him.

Anyway, in a short period of time, their Rothchild family never thought of turning against Xia Yu, even if Xia Yu's media empire was threatened, they always had a way to deal with it.

In fact, in the face of Xia Yu's conspiracy, Jacob Rothschild had to jump in, unless he cut off the opportunity to cooperate with Xia Yu in the future, making the family's calculations more difficult.

After the decision, Jacob Rothschild smiled lightly: "Mr. Xia misunderstood, I just didn't remember which Mirror Group it was just now, but now that I think about it, we can easily help Mr. Xia complete the acquisition, so as to prove our friendly attitude and strength." ”

Xia Yu's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "Mr. Rothschild, then I look forward to it, as for other cooperation, I'll talk about it later, how about it?"

Xia Yu's typical thing is not to see rabbits and not to scatter eagles, so take the benefits first.

Now that it has been decided, Jacob Rothschild is not afraid of Xia Yu's remorse, and nodded lightly and said, "Of course you can, I believe that you will not disappoint Mr. Xia." ”

After the matter was discussed, there was nothing else to say, Jacob Rothschild said goodbye directly, and Xia Yu sent them out.

Seeing Jacob Rothschild's car gradually move away, Xia Yu's gaze became indifferent and deepened.

"Heh, it seems that the future will be more and more unstable......"
