Tens of millions of dollars were involved, and it was not to go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, after Han Chudong told the two of them his thoughts, he could only wait patiently for a reply.

In a normal large enterprise, the efficiency of the decision-making and implementation mechanism is not as high as that of Mason Associates and its subsidiaries, which is determined by the form of equity, and often a group of directors and shareholders fight each other, and finally a conclusion is drawn according to the voting rights.

It is in line with the thinking of the majority of shareholders, but not necessarily the thinking of the majority shareholders.

In this regard, Han Chudongmian is lucky, he is not restricted in any way, and he is always able to make quick decisions with his own ideas.

So even at dinner, Rowwin and Woody tend to sell some or all of their shares, but that doesn't mean the deal is secure.

From Han Chudong's standpoint.

It's good to be able to agree, but even if he doesn't get a stake in the Wall Street Journal, he can choose other acquisitions, or even integrate and start a new company himself.

Anyway, in the end, as long as you have some of the right to speak, let these "uncrowned kings" not treat themselves as soft persimmons, it is already in Han Chudong's long-term interests.

......

Don't worry about the two leaking out of tonight's conversation.

Han Chudong even hoped that they could tell others about this matter as a joke on some appropriate occasions, and delve into the reasons, mainly because they wanted to become ruthless people in the eyes of their peers.

If a wealthy businessman has a good temper, a simple personality, is kind to others, and does not hold grudges...... Such a person may not have a bad reputation, but there is a high probability that he will lose badly in the end.

The allure of money is undeniable, and being rich is a crisis in itself.

It is necessary to be a good person and a cool guy in the eyes of consumers, and to properly show fangs to peers can reduce a lot of unnecessary troubles and risks.

It was late at night when the United Airlines plane landed in Los Angeles, and the first-class seats were insufficient, even Arthur's assistant could only make do in economy class, and the days of this kind of crowded civilian airliner would soon come to an end, and Boeing had already taken out a 747 double-decker wide-body airliner for preliminary rectification.

Design work is underway and the entire renovation is expected to be completed in the first half of next year.

The $600,000 long-term, unlimited ticket purchased from United Airlines will be converted into the cost of helping to maintain and operate the private jet once the plane is in place.

As for Boeing, the price reduction is just to release the finished drawings as soon as the design is completed, so that people can understand how spacious and luxurious the aircraft is.

In fact, there is no problem with the market positioning of the Boeing 747, but it is just because it was born at the wrong time, and the price of air tickets is too high due to the rise in crude oil prices, and some passengers are lost.

After seeing this, Boeing has also been included in the investment list of Mason Private Equity Fund by Han Chudong, and the economic environment is relatively bad, and the risks of others have become opportunities in Han Chudong's eyes.

For more than ten days.

Mason Coalition began to make a move, first taking 24 percent of Playboy magazine's shares, and then taking 30% of the total share capital of women's magazine "VOGUE" in the form of premium financing, which will be used to acquire part of the French "ELLE" magazine.

In total, nearly $50 million was spent, and more than $170 million is still left in the company's account.

Patiently waiting until today, Han Chudong finally issued an ultimatum to Rowan and Woody, saying that he would contact the Los Angeles Times without any more news.

Overall, the Wall Street Journal and the Los Angeles Times have similar market capitalizations and overlapping readerships, but the Wall Street Journal is more inclined and its subscribers are dominated by the social elite.

October 26th.

The big butler from Washington on the East Coast came to California to host a joint meeting organized by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).

Han Chudong was also on the list of invitees, and it was not his turn to give a speech at the meeting, but since the chief of staff in the white house personally called to invite him, it was enough to show that his name had entered the heads of that group of people, and he was no longer a nobody.

In fact, as early as the beginning of September, Han Chudong received an invitation from the second-in-command, asking him to accompany him to Southeast Asia to participate in an economic and trade exchange meeting, but he politely declined.

The OECD meeting was held in San Francisco, and with the governor's phone call, it was reasonable to show his face.

Paul Getty Sr. is unwell and no longer attends public events, and Han Chudong, the second richest man in California, has naturally become another bright business card.

Ditch the idea of driving there and rent two helicopters to cut travel time in half.

During the three-day negotiation meeting, the official paid for a hotel room, but Han Chudong did not plan to stay in it, and found a luxury hotel and booked a room for the bodyguard assistants, so far there is no need to care about this little money.

The official meeting began tomorrow, the morning of the 27th, and a secretary helped run errands and took the invitation to get back the meeting process and admission certificate.

Han Chudong was dizzy by the noise of the helicopter, and finally found that this thing was not suitable for long-distance travel, and pondered that if he bought a helicopter, he must transform the sound insulation.

Seeing the little secretary who was brought from the company temporarily, he asked, "What did you see at the venue, and are there any activities that I need to participate in today?"

"They are all checking in to enter the hotel, there are many SWAT officers standing outside, if it weren't for your invitation, I wouldn't have been able to get in, the road is full of cars. People from all over the world are busy socializing, and the scene is quite shocking, and the specific process is written on the table. ”

The little secretary hadn't seen much of the world, and he was excited at this moment.

In fact, Han Chudong is also the first time to participate in such a high-level formal event, and he is also a little curious, and pulls out a stack of paper from the file bag with the words "Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development", which not only has the list of participants, but also the detailed arrangements for topics and processes, such as tonight's cocktail party, which is very detailed and clear at a glance.

"Thanks, you can go back and rest first, and then visit the beauty product research and development laboratory for a while, and ask someone to bring me a pizza first, any flavor." ”

Han Chudong lowered his head and said, and the little secretary nodded and left his room first.

From the list of participants, I saw many familiar names, all of which were familiar faces that often appeared in the newspapers, and more than 30 countries sent representatives over......
