New York Post Headquarters, USA.

At another takeover meeting, Evans is trying to negotiate with Murphy, the head of the New York Post, who told them that Universal Press Group is very eager to buy the New York Post, and will also give a very real acquisition offer.

It's just that no matter how Evans tells and how to increase the bargaining chips for the acquisition, Murphy of the New York Post has been expressionless from beginning to end, because this is the third time he has heard Evans say that the board of directors of the Universal Press Group is discussing a new acquisition plan.

Hearing the end, Murphy really had a headache, he was afraid that he would be fooled again like the last time, so he quickly interjected: "Mr. Evans, although I would like to be able to cooperate with you Universal Newspaper, you can't always prevaricate us on the grounds that you are discussing a new acquisition plan, I hope you must give a straightforward acquisition plan today." ”

Hearing this, Evans frowned, he has been talking to the mud for more than a month, just hoping to wait for news from the boss, but today is the third negotiation, and looking at Murphy's appearance, it seems that there is a tendency to not negotiate today, and there will be no negotiation tomorrow.

This made him really headache, and while he was upset, he still said again and again: "This is natural, and we also hope to win the New York Post as soon as possible." ”

"18 million! We, Murdoch News Corporation, contribute 18 million!"

At that moment, the door to the meeting room suddenly opened, and Murdoch walked in with an old woman in her sixties and seventies.

Hearing Murdoch's offer, Evans felt tight, he didn't care why Murdoch appeared at his negotiation meeting with Murphy, but nervous about the other party's bid, which was suddenly 2 million more than the previous 16 million, and at the same time, he was also thinking about how to solve this dilemma, he suddenly noticed that the woman next to Murdoch was Dolly Schichieff!

The New York Post's current largest shareholder!

Worst!

Murdoch actually quietly contacted Dolly Schichieff, and it seems that it must be solved today.

Evans's face turned iron and blue all of a sudden.

"I'm sorry to disturb you. ”

Murdoch first brought a chair to Dolly Schitchieff, then he sat down with a smile on his face, looked at Evans and said: "I have already communicated with Mrs. Schichiff, and our Murdoch News Corp. paid $18 million to buy all the shares of the New York Post, and Mrs. Murdoch has agreed to our offer." ”

Murphy couldn't help but look at the big boss of the newspaper, Dolly Schieff, and saw that she nodded slightly, knowing that the newspaper seemed to be preparing to sign a buyout agreement with Murdoch News Corporation.

Then there is no need to continue talking about the global newspaper industry.

Thinking of this, Murphy turned his head to look at Evans and said, "I'm very sorry Mr. Evans, but your Universal Press has not come up with a price that satisfies us, so our negotiations are going to end here!"

"This can't be!" Evans stood up excitedly when he saw that the matter was about to be settled, and said without regard to politeness: "Our Universal Press is very sincere, and we will definitely offer a price that satisfies you!"

Seeing what Evans said, Murphy hesitated, and naturally hoped that the newspaper would sell it at a good price.

"If I had been sincere, I wouldn't have delayed it until now. With that, Murdoch smiled a little sarcastically.

When Murphy heard this, he felt that Murdoch was right, how long has it been, more than a month, right?

Thinking of this, Murphy shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Evans, but this is the end of our negotiations. ”

Damn it!

Evans clenched his fists, although he really wanted to win the New York Post, but the price given by the other party had exceeded the original initial price of 15 million, an increase of twenty percent, which was already very high.

"Click!"

Suddenly, the door to the conference room was opened from the outside.

Everyone looked at it in unison.

I saw the newspaper staff who opened the door, and looked apologetically at Murphy and his boss, Mrs. Schitchieff, "I'm sorry everyone, this Mr. Davide claims to be from Universal Newspapers." ”

"Davide, why are you here?"

Seeing who it was, Evans was surprised and a little happy, he knew that Davide was the manager of the boss's private financial company, and he must have received the boss's orders when he suddenly came here.

"I'm sorry everyone, but there are so many cars in New York that it's stuck in traffic jams and delayed a lot of time. Davide walked over to Evans and pulled out a chair and sat down.

Murdoch, who was on the other side, saw that the person who came was from the Universal Press Company, and he couldn't help frowning, thinking that there would be no more moths!

"Davide, are you the boss...... Evans asked excitedly.

"Hmm!"

Davide nodded, didn't say anything, but looked at Murphy and asked, "I don't know if the negotiations are over!"

"It's over!" Murdoch replied eagerly.

Murphy looked at Davide, then at the nervous Murdoch, thought about it, and decided to listen to what Davide was going to say, and if the chips offered were not high enough, then directly refuse.

"Not yet. ”

"It seems that I have arrived at the right time, then I will not talk nonsense, our Universal Press bid 17 million US dollars!"

Only 17 million!

Hearing this figure, Murphy shook his head in disappointment, and the majority shareholder, Mrs. Schitchieff, was also a little speechless about the price, while Murdoch laughed.

Davide looked at the expressions of the three of them, and naturally could see that the other party didn't seem to be very satisfied with the price, so he couldn't help frowning, looked at Evans next to him, and asked, "What's the matter?"

"The Mr. Murdoch across the street just offered 18 million!" Evans sighed.

Davide understood, smiled, looked at the audience, and said, "That's 19 million! You can pay in cash at any time! ”

19 million!

Another million dollars had risen, much to the delight of Murphy and Mrs. Schieff.

Naturally, the two of them wanted the newspaper to sell for as much price as possible, especially Mrs. Skiehusband, who had been at the helm of the New York Post for decades, but did not particularly want to sell the newspaper because she had received definite news that a new tax law would be introduced in the United States next year, which would make it difficult for her children to keep the paper.

As a last resort, she accepted takeovers from Universal Press and Murdoch News Corp., selling her shares for cash for future generations.

At this moment, when the two of them were happy in their hearts, Murdoch, who was sitting next to him, had a blue face, he had already acquired it at a premium of 3 million, and it was a deal that was bound to be obtained, but he didn't expect that this person in the world newspaper industry would raise it by 1 million!

The extra $4 million is also a lot of money for the current Murdoch, not to mention that he is going to buy the British Sun!

Murdoch frowned at the thought of The Sun, he had investigated the worldwide newspaper industry before, and only knew that it was headquartered in the United Kingdom, and in addition to a British newspaper and a weekly magazine, there were industries in Hong Kong and the United States.

The other party dragged on for more than a month before deciding to come up with a purchase price of 19 million, which may mean that Huanyu Press is preparing to give up the acquisition of the Sun and specialize in the New York Post!

Thinking of this, Murdoch calculated the gains and losses, whether to continue to follow the price, or learn from the other party to win the Sun.

His brain was racing, and he finally decided to abandon the New York Post and buy The Sun!

Murdoch chose to give up, so there was no need for him to get involved in the rest of the matter, and left the New York Post headquarters directly, preparing to send a telegram to inform the British negotiating team that the price could be appropriately raised and give the person in charge of the Sun a price that could not be refused.

……

Half an hour later.

When the lawyers of both parties are present, a new contract is drawn up, and both parties sign their respective names, and the contract is officially effective.

"Happy working together!"

"Happy working together!"

Evans shook hands with Murphy and smiled, and the rest of the work was not carried out by the two of them, but by the people below.

Waited out of the New York Post headquarters building.

Evans was curious, "Your side is settled?"

"Well, the funds are already in place. ”

"Then should I inform the British side so that they can talk about the acquisition?"

"No need!"

Davide smiled and said, "On the British side, the boss has already sent a telegram, and I think it should have been taken by this time." ”

……

"Now send a telegram to England, let George and they must get the Sun as soon as possible, and the price can be properly mentioned!" As soon as he returned to the hotel, Murdoch began to instruct the people below to send a telegram to England.

"Yes!" the man nodded, and was about to open the door to go out, when he saw another colleague, Ram, running over in a hurry.

"Chairman!

Murdoch frowned and looked at his subordinates who had lost all their images, and said unhappily: "What's the matter?"

"Just now there was a telegram from the UK, saying......" Ram took a breath before continuing: "The person who said that Universal Press has signed a purchase contract with the Sun for 16 million!"

"Falk !!"

Murdoch suddenly punched the air violently, and the anger in his heart can be said to have reached its peak!
