This time she came to the UK, Huo Yaowen actually didn't want Grandma to come with her so tired, but she insisted on accompanying her granddaughter-in-law, so she had to agree to let the old lady come over, just to arrange a trip abroad for her old man.

As for the younger sister Huo Tingting, she only graduated from the academy last month, and she has been staying at home recently, and this time she also wants to go to the UK to visit Lu Suzhen, although the two often correspond, but they haven't seen each other for two years.

That night, the plane arrived at the international airport in London, England, and the group took a few cars arranged by Chelit back to the mansion on the bank of the Thames.

By the time I got home, it was already early in the morning.

After cleaning up the bedroom where they were sleeping, after serving Anna and falling asleep, Grandma, Mrs. Michelle and Dr. Zhao were all tired, so Huo Yaowen asked them to go upstairs and go back to the room to rest.

Fortunately, the house I bought was very large, with seven rooms, and it was no problem for two female nurses to sleep in one room.

Huo Yaowen took out a bottle of champagne from the wine cabinet in the living room, took two more glasses, poured a glass and handed it to Lito, and poured a glass himself.

After the two clinked glasses and took a sip each, Rito smiled and congratulated, "Boss, congratulations on becoming a father soon." ”

"Thank you, I still can't believe I'm going to be a father. Huo Yaowen leaned lazily on the sofa, since he set off from Hong Kong in the morning today, he is also tired.

"Who isn't?"

"When my wife told me I was going to be a father, I didn't react until she showed me the test report that I realized that I had my own children and was going to be a father," he said with a smile. ”

"yes. Huo Yaowen narrowed his eyes slightly, it has been five years since he was reborn, and now he is considered to be famous, and he is about to have his own children, and it is very likely that they will be a pair of twins, not to mention how happy he is.

After thinking about it for a while, he suddenly said, "By the way, did you find the person I asked you to find before?"

"I've found it, I wanted to send a telegram to inform the boss yesterday, but your telegram came first, I saw that you were coming to the UK, so I thought I'd tell you in person when you arrived. ”

Litu continued, "Boss, do you know The Times?"

Huo Yaowen raised his eyebrows, "The Times of London?"

The Times of London is actually what everyone often calls The Times, and from the English term, The Times means Times, and it has almost nothing to do with Thames. The main reason for this is that there were some deviations in the translation in the early years, and two English words with similar pronunciations were confused.

"Yes, the Times of London, one of the oldest newspapers in the United Kingdom, has been published in England since the eighteenth century. The person I found was Harold Evans, the former editor-in-chief of The Times of London. ”

Harold Evans?

Huo Yaowen touched his chin, "Do you think he can?"

"Of course!"

"Evans has worked in the press for more than ten years and is an experienced newspaper person, but Thomson, the current owner of the London Times, is a visionary man, and when he found that the London Times was losing a lot of money, he began to gradually lay off employees, and the first to bear the brunt of the losses was Evans, who brought him losses. ”

Huo Yaowen suddenly asked: "You mean to say that the Times of London has been losing money? Isn't it one of the most circulating newspapers in the UK? Will it still lose money?"

"I don't know, but I guess it's because the Times of London is too serious, it's not a decade ago, and the public likes to read the grandiose newspapers of The Sun." ”

Huo Yaowen asked, "Are you talking about Murdoch's Sun?"

"Boss, you know that Australian Murdoch too?"

"Well, I've heard of it. Huo Yaowen nodded.

Murdoch, the future owner of the world's largest newspaper group, I believe many people know him, but Huo Yaowen knows him, and he still owes it to him.

Although Murdoch is still just an ordinary newspaper owner and has no contact with Huo Yaowen, if he wants to continue to develop in the newspaper industry and build a media group, he will inevitably meet in the future.

"Hey, this Mr. Murdoch is the biggest newspaper owner in Australia, and since coming to England a few years ago, he has invested a lot of money, not only to buy The Sun, but also to buy the News of the World recently. "Litu is in the book copyright business, and although he has nothing to do with newspapers, he knows a little bit about it.

"Don't talk about that, you can make an appointment with that Evans for me in two days. ”

"No problem. ”

……

Because Mrs. Michelle had greeted her in advance, Anna was admitted to the Royal Brompton Hospital in London at nine o'clock the next morning. Huo Yaowen accompanied her for some physical examinations, and was busy until the afternoon, after Anna fell asleep with the nutrient solution, he said a few words to Grandma and others, and then drove to the London Financial Daily.

Since the acquisition of the currency war in March, the "London Financial Daily" has been on a steady rise, although the "currency war" has been serialized two months ago, but the newspaper's sales have not fallen too much, and now it can still sell 60,000 or 70,000 copies a day, which is not a big or small newspaper in London.

"What about the weekly magazine?" Listening to Huang Junyu's report, Huo Yaowen asked about the sales of the weekly magazine.

Huang Junyu said: "The current sales of Caijing Weekly are not particularly good, only selling more than 2,000 copies a week, but next month we will publish a collection of wealth lists, and I think sales should increase." ”

"It's better to be so. ”

Huo Yaowen attaches great importance to this Fortune Weekly, after all, the Forbes Fortune List will be famous all over the world in the future, and he doesn't want to waste this good opportunity.

After inspecting the "London Financial Daily", Huo Yaowen went to the manager company of Egypt Bookstore again, and chatted with Litu about the company's development in recent months, and then drove back to the hospital to continue to accompany Anna.

That night, Litt brought with him the files and materials of Harold Evans, the former editor-in-chief of the London Times.

Judging from the archives and resume, Harold Evans is still quite capable, but the "London Times", which has a history of nearly 200 years, is too decadent and outdated, and it is difficult to make a profit again without large-scale reforms, and this little Thomas does not have the courage to do so.

This also contributed to the expulsion of Harold Evans.

But Huo Yaowen is not the kind of person with shallow vision, so he directly asked Lituo to ask the other party to come out to meet and chat.

A few days later, Huo Yaowen met with Harold Evans.

Huo Yaowen had a profound impact on him, not only did the other party talk a lot about how to run and manage the newspaper, but also was very interested in the media network he proposed, and even published a lot of ideas on the spot that made Huo Yaowen's eyes shine.

"With the invention of film and television, newspapers alone can no longer meet the public's demand for knowledge, news, and entertainment. So Mr. Evan, the idea you just made to build a media network is a very correct and wise decision. Integrating newspapers, films, television, radio, music and other fields to create a multi-field media group, I think this will be enough to change the pattern of the world's media!"

The more Harold Evans spoke, the more excited he became, as if in the next second, this multi-disciplinary media group would suddenly appear in front of the world.

Huo Yaowen smiled and said, "Yes, so I would like to hire Mr. Evans as the general manager of Universal Newspaper and give priority to the global newspaper business of this media group." ”

"It's my pleasure, Mr. Evan!" Harold Evans immediately stood up and held out his hand.

Huo Yaowen shook hands with him and smiled: "Then Mr. Evans, I wish us a happy cooperation!"
