Invest $3 million and return $5 million in two years, where can you find a normal financial product with such a high rate of return?

When the two businessmen sitting opposite Han Chudong heard this, they immediately knew that the real purpose of tonight's dinner was to exchange a large amount of money for the support of the two of them and let the current editor-in-chief leave.

They are all scheming businessmen, and they know very well that pies will not be lost in vain, Han Chudong said it too bluntly, so that they were a little overwhelmed.

But Xinjin is certain, this kind of money is too easy to earn, but I haven't dealt with it before, and I'm worried that it will be hot.

One of them, a businessman named Rowan, who was nearly fifty years old, looked at his old friend next to him, lowered his voice and smiled, "I don't know how you young people do business, but among our group of businessmen, we don't easily give four million dollars as a reward just because of an insignificant newspaper editor-in-chief, I don't understand what you mean." ”

"I did this not only because I was humiliated by Nick Lambert, but also because he was a stubborn old man who had already caused my business reputational and credit damage, and I was angry that he didn't want to clarify and apologize after publishing a false report. ”

Han Chudong's tone was calm.

Beckoned to the waiter, ordered a small lamb chop, and continued:

"As you should know, my face mask business is very large, and now I am in a critical period to compete with my competitors in the market, and the company's image and product reputation mean everything to me. You are all businessmen, and you should be able to understand my intention to invite you two to dinner, and I am trying to defend my own interests, and also your interests, just asking for a small favor. ”

There is also a general manager above the editor-in-chief, and there are shareholders above the manager, and directly asking the shareholders for help is the fastest way to achieve results.

Han Chudong didn't want to keep a fly buzzing in his ear, and more importantly, if that guy continued to fan the flames and bite the rainbow makeup, it was likely to make things bigger.

Once the trouble is big and consumers are resistant to the ex-boyfriend's mask, then the loss is not just four million dollars.

What's more, he is sure to make up for some losses and come back, but the price will not be so high, provided that both sides really invest six million dollars according to his ideas.

Rowan's personality is obviously stronger than that of the other shareholder, and at this moment he said again: "If it's something else, I'd be happy to help you, but your request is obviously a bit ...... Cross the line. ”

"I believe anything is negotiable, especially when it comes to money, you can hire another great editor-in-chief, hire someone new with the company's money, and then two years later with a big profit, go to the Upper East Side and buy a real estate or a yacht for your kids as a gift, you said it yourself, an editor-in-chief doesn't matter, does it?"

Han Chudong rarely does this kind of thing, and he is a little unskilled.

But he knew that when he was hit by a pie, almost no one would choose to refuse.

The two men in front of him are both executives in the company, and they are shareholders in the company, although they have invested in the Wall Street Journal, but their company has other shareholders, which are different from the nature of Mason Associates.

For example, this Rowan, according to the results of the investigation, is worth about 16 million to 18 million US dollars.

Han Chudong doesn't care about two million dollars, just building a house and building a golf course may cost hundreds of millions of dollars, for the two more outstanding businessmen in front of him, but not the top businessmen, two million dollars is not a small amount of money, and it is easy to earn, full of temptation.

"If Editor-in-Chief Nick Lambert learns that you are willing to pay so much money to buy us in order to deal with him, I guess I will be very pleased, even if Nick Sr. works for a hundred years, he can't earn four million dollars. Listen to what you mean, as long as the news related to your company is clarified and no longer targeted at your company, the conflict has actually been resolved, right?

Maybe we can negotiate a compromise, such as investing $1 million in you, returning $1.5 million with interest in half a year, and then the apology announcement will appear in the Wall Street Journal tomorrow, or in a very prominent position, so that we don't have to fire a heartfelt old employee, and you continue to run your business, which is good for everyone. ”

Woody Newhart, who had been silent all the time, was impressed by Han Chudong as soon as he spoke.

They did a little favor, no one could be offended, and they actually wanted to get 500,000 US dollars from Han Chudong respectively, the peacemaker was not like this, and his skin was thick enough.

took the initiative to find these two and asked for them, which made Han Chudong invisibly at a disadvantage, after listening to it, his eyes narrowed slightly, he drank red wine to moisten his mouth, and said again: "Or, if you sell me all the shares of the Wall Street Journal, I am willing to buy it at a valuation of 140 million US dollars, which is equivalent to a premium of 30% on the basis of the average valuation."

Last year, News Corporation Australia got a stake from your friend, and it was only based on a $100 million valuation, which is a very good offer even if you count the depreciation of the dollar over the past year, and then I kicked the old man out of the company. ”

“...... Looks like you're really holding a grudge, poor old Nick. Rowan couldn't bear it anymore, said sorry and called Woody Newhart out, not knowing what he was discussing.

Anyway, until the waiter brought the appetizers, the two didn't return to their seats, Han Chudong glanced out the window from time to time, and could see that the two were discussing on the side of the road.

Having investigated News Australia, Viacom and Warner Communications, he finally felt that this kind of self-protecting and hurtful asset had to be in his own hands.

Judging from the current scale of funds, even if you take a stake in News Australia or the larger Viacom Group, it will be difficult to get enough say. The market value of Warner Communications is average, barely exceeding 70 million US dollars, but its influence is limited, and its resources are mainly concentrated in theatrical distribution, which is not what Han Chudong wants.

All in all.

It would be more in his interest to start his own business and form a new news media group through acquisitions and self-created brands, and if he is lucky enough, he may be able to swallow an elephant in the future when he has plenty of money.

Before coming over to meet them, Han Chudong was ready to do both.

I was thinking about waiting to mention the acquisition of shares, but I haven't fully made up my mind, and just now I felt that it was easy to buy early, so I simply brought it up.

Sit alone at the table and enjoy the food, let the chef add more chili peppers, and eat it more appetizingly.

It wasn't long before Rowan appeared in front of him and said, "We should talk about the acquisition at a valuation of $140 million, and it's all a cash deal, right?"

"It's all cash, and I still have more than 200 million in my company's account, so it's definitely enough to buy your shares......"
