After introducing the basic situation of the newspaper, Paul Li did not rush to reach a deal, but asked tentatively: "Lin Sheng, with all due respect, you are a mainlander, I don't know if after you buy the newspaper, the concept of the newspaper will be one-sidedly inclined to the mainland side, and actively advocate for the mainland government? If this is the case, I cannot sell the newspaper to you." ”

When Lin Cheng heard this, he suddenly became angry: Is it wrong for Lao Tzu to be a Chinese and his own newspaper leaning towards his motherland! In particular, one day after Lao Tzu acquires wireless ATV, he will play "News Network" at seven o'clock every day to give you gang of Hong Kong volcanoes a patriotic education lesson!

Huo Wenxi knew that he must be unhappy when she saw Lin Cheng's ugly face, she was afraid that Lin Cheng and her cousin would break up unhappily, so she hurriedly held Lin Cheng's arm and signaled him not to be angry, and to take the newspaper down first.

Although Lin Cheng was a little angry, but after all, he was a human being in two lives, he still suppressed his anger, barely squeezed out a smile, and said sincerely: "Uncle Li, although I am from the mainland, I have nothing to do with the mainland officials, and I think the original development orientation of "Daily Express" is very good. ”

Lin Cheng took a sip of red wine, and then said: "If you encounter a major political event that you have to report, I think you can quote the newspaper grandmaster Zhang Jiluan's philosophy of running a newspaper: 'no party, no selling, no selfishness, no blindness' as a guide, try to be objective and fair, so as to maintain the credibility of our newspaper." ”

"Okay!good!Okay! As soon as Lin Sheng said this, I don't have any doubts, Lin Sheng, make an offer, at what price do you plan to buy the "Daily Express". Paul Li received Lin Cheng's assurance, and immediately said cheerfully.

Lin Cheng pondered for a while when he heard this, and quickly calculated in his mind, "Daily Express" has a debt of 2.5 million Hong Kong dollars, which is no different from a dime a dozen for Lin Cheng, but in business, although Lin Cheng is not bad for money, he can't give money to others in vain.

"Three million, I am willing to pay three million to buy the "Daily Express", and after paying off the debt, I will also inject 10 million to complete the revision of the newspaper and improve the welfare of the newspaper employees. In addition, I will invite you to serve as the general manager of the newspaper with an annual salary of 500,000 yuan, and if Uncle Li can successfully complete the task I assigned, he will also get a 3% option share incentive. ”

Li Paul's face did not change, but in his heart it was turning upside down, Lin Cheng's conditions were not too bad, but too good, what else could he hesitate about, thinking of this, Li Paul decisively stretched out his palm and replied: "Deal!"

Lin Cheng was happy in his heart, and he also stretched out his palm, clasped it tightly with Paul Li's hand, and said with a smile: "Happy cooperation, I will leave the newspaper to you to take care of in the future." ”

Although Paul Li had been mentally prepared, he was still moved by Lin Cheng's generosity and trust, and he said with pantothenic eyes in his eyes: "Don't worry, Lin Sheng, I will not let you down." ”

Huo Wenxi saw that Lin Cheng and her cousin had completed the acquisition negotiations, and she was also happy for the two, so she raised her goblet and said, "Come on, come on, in order to celebrate the cooperation, let's have another drink!"

"Cheers!" Lin Cheng said excitedly.

"Cut to death!" Paul Lee laughed.

……

After inviting a professional lawyer to come forward and completing the acquisition procedures for "Daily Express", Lin Cheng went to the newspaper headquarters under the leadership of Li Paul and Huo Wenxi.

After all, the ancestors of "Daily Express" used to be wide, so its headquarters is relatively large, and the entire floor is the office area of the newspaper, almost 500 square meters, but it is a pity that this office building is rented, otherwise the newspaper office building alone is worth at least tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars.

The newspaper was on the verge of bankruptcy, everyone had no intention of working, everyone gathered in the large conference room to discuss the future of the newspaper and their own future, Lin Cheng stood outside the conference room, listening to the noise like a vegetable market inside, and frowned deeply.

"The newspaper is about to go bankrupt, what can we do without this job?"

"What should I do? cold salad, as long as you have the ability, you can't work anywhere!"

"Actually, Boss Paul Li is very good to us, he would rather run in debt than lay off us, and his salary is paid neatly every month. ”

"It's a pity that the boss is an old stubborn, his head is made of granite, and in the face of fierce media competition, he still clings to the same set of the 80s.

"Hey, why don't we think about where we can find a job when we lose our jobs?"

……

"Uncle Cousin, all the employees of the newspaper are panicked, and it is impossible to carry out their work with such a mentality, and I think you need to come forward to reassure them and inform them of the fact that the newspaper has been acquired, so that they do not have to worry at all, the day has come for the newspaper to be reborn. Huo Wenxi suggested to Paul Lee.

"Okay, I'll go and pacify them. Paul Lee nodded.

"Wait, I'll do the pacifying work, and by the way, let the employees recognize me as the new boss. Lin Cheng knew that this was a great opportunity for him to win people's hearts, how could he give this opportunity to Paul Li, he should take it seriously!

"Well, you're the boss, everybody listens to you. ”

Although Paul Li obeyed Lin Cheng's opinion, he was a little disdainful of Lin Cheng in his heart, in his opinion, although Lin Cheng was worth hundreds of millions, but in the final analysis, he was just a seventeen or eighteen-year-old little hairy head, where could he hold those old fritters in the newspaper!

"Well, let him suffer, when he suffers, he will naturally rely on me more. Paul Lee thought to himself.

How could Lin Cheng not know Paul Li's careful thoughts, and Paul Li was not his own woman like Li Muzhen and Huo Wenxi, so Lin Cheng naturally would not trust him unconditionally.

After the newspaper is on the right track, Lin Cheng will also promote one or two vice presidents and several editors-in-chief to check and balance Paul Li, but now his eyes are black, and he doesn't know who will come over, so he can only trust Paul Li first.

The three of them pushed open the door and walked into the conference room, and the staff in the conference room found that after the boss came in with two strangers, the conference room, which was originally as noisy as a vegetable market, was quiet for a while, and a pin drop could be heard.

Paul Li stood up and said loudly under Lin Cheng's signal: "Colleagues, I think everyone has understood the situation of the newspaper, in order to get rid of the predicament and inject new vitality and funds into the newspaper, I specially invited the famous wonder boy to join our "Daily Express", now please Boss Lin say a few words, everyone applauds and welcomes!"

Paul Li was the first to applaud, and Huo Wenxi also applauded, but to the embarrassment of the two, the employees below did not seem to have reacted from the drastic change of ownership of the newspaper, and everyone was indifferent, leaving only the lonely applause of Paul Li and Huo Wenxi floating in the conference room.

Lin Cheng looked around the audience, and most of the employees who came into contact with his gaze lowered their heads to avoid it, but from their expressions, Lin Cheng could find that worried, suspicious, and uneasy expressions occupied most of them, and there were a few wisps of hostile gaze mixed with them.

Paul Li was a little embarrassed, the employees below neither gave him face to the old owner, nor did they put the new owner in their eyes, and then he would continue to serve as the president of the newspaper, and the team was not easy to bring!

Although Lin Cheng's face was immature, he had maintained a calm smile since he entered the door, even if the scene was embarrassing, he did not change color in the slightest, he took two steps forward, stood in front of the conference table, and shouted loudly: "I am the new boss of the newspaper, I have no other meaning to come here today, that is, everyone knows each other, recognizes a face, can friends in the back see me?"

As soon as Lin Cheng's voice fell, the embarrassing silence struck again, and it wasn't until more than ten seconds later that a weak female voice trembled and said, "Report ...... Report to the boss, too far away, I ...... I can't see clearly. ”

"Can't you see clearly? Lin Cheng unexpectedly climbed onto the conference table, looked around the audience condescendingly, and finally saw the little girl behind him who had the courage to talk to him.

"Look...... See clearly!" cried the little girl.

"Well, now that you see me for what I really am, you should know who I am. That's right, I'm the mainland wonder boy who made $600 million in more than a month, and now I'm your boss!"

Lin Cheng's unexpected actions gave people a great appeal, and many people listened to him and their facial expressions gradually relaxed, and a few people even let out uncontrollable laughter.

"What does it have to do with you that I, Lin Cheng, have become the new owner of the newspaper? It has a lot to do with it, it means that our newspaper is not short of money, and your salaries and bonuses can all be paid out on time, and even if you do a good job, I will reward you without hesitation, so that your wallets will bulge greatly!"

"Good!"

"Support the new owner!"

"The new owner is a wonder boy and will definitely lead us to create another miracle!"

When Lin Cheng guaranteed to pay wages and bonuses on time and gave rewards to employees who did a good job, everyone cheered, and Lin Cheng's support rate rose from zero to 100.

Just kidding, Lin Cheng is a huge rich man with 600 million US dollars, and no one believes that Lin Cheng will not be able to pay his salary and bonus.

Seeing Lin Cheng recognized by all employees, Paul Li was sad and relieved, in the capitalist society of Xiangjiang, only wealth can win people's hearts!

In the face of everyone's cheers and encouragement, Lin Cheng pressed down with both hands, and the audience suddenly fell silent, he continued: ""Tian Tian Kuai" is an old newspaper with a glorious history, with deep and loyal readers all over Hong Kong, even if I, an outsider from the mainland, know its reputation, when I learned that "Tian Tian Kuai" was intended to be sold, I did not hesitate for a second, and immediately decided to buy it, I am confident that as long as I inject funds and ideas into this newspaper, everyone will definitely put "Tian Tian Kuai" Bigger and stronger, recreate its glory in the eighties!"
