"Boss, then I suggest you buy the New York Observer?" After Smith understood Lin Cheng's intentions, he pondered for a long time and suggested that Lin Cheng buy the newspaper "The New York Observer".

"The New York Observer?" Lin Cheng was stunned when he heard this, feeling that the name was inexplicably familiar, and as soon as his brain searched, he immediately understood that this newspaper was a newspaper that was acquired by the later Iveshni's husband Judd Kashner in 2006.

The reason why Lin Cheng can know Judd Kashner is because of those online articles that have traveled through the American imperialism, as the husband of Ivni's original time and space, Jad Kashner has undoubtedly attracted the hatred of many authors, so the protagonists of various authors' pens have used Judd Kashner as a slap in the face, not only snatching Ivany, but also making Judd Kashner impoverished.

The New York Observer was a well-known acquisition in the hands of Judd Kashner, because he acquired the New York Observer, which had considerable influence in New York, and Judd Kashner was well touted by the media at the time and was hailed as an upstart in the newspaper industry.

"For more than 20 years, the New York Observer has been owned by investor Arthur Carter. Although the newspaper had a circulation of only 50,000 copies per issue, this did not affect its importance in the New York area.

The New York Observer has long been a must-read publication for celebrities, literary and political circles, and it is one of the most highly acclaimed newspapers in the Manhattan area, with a high reputation and influence. It attracts many well-known columnists, and often interviews heavyweight celebrities, and its articles have a wide reprint rate.

However, the New York Observer has also faced considerable challenges in recent years, with the latest estimates suggesting that the weekly is losing about $2 million a year, and Arthur Carter has been looking for someone to take over the paper. ”

"Okay!" Lin Cheng agreed: "Start the acquisition of the New York Observer immediately, as long as the price is within 15 million euros, you can negotiate it." ”

Smith smiled: "Don't worry, boss, Arthur Carter is in a hurry to make a move, and the New York Observer can take it within $10 million." ”

Lin Cheng also said: "Although the New York Observer has a good influence, it is only a local newspaper in the Manhattan area, and its influence cannot radiate to the whole United States. ”

As the richest man in the world with a net worth of hundreds of millions, Lin Cheng will naturally not only be satisfied with a local tabloid like the "New York Observer", but his goal should be "US Imperialism Today", "The New York Times", "Los Angeles Times" and other big newspapers that have a certain influence in the United States and even in the world.

Hearing Lin Cheng's request, Smith couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, such as "US Imperialism Today", "The Washington Post", and "The New York Times", which ranked among the top newspapers in the United States, have long been monopolized by the large consortium of US imperialism.

And the role of mastering the mouthpiece is not only understood by Chinese, but also by the seemingly simple-minded and well-developed American imperialists, and the consortium forces master these super mouthpieces, even if they operate at a loss, they will not give up, after all, the consortium forces are the same as Lin Cheng, they hold the mouthpiece for influence, the right to speak, not for investment and money.

"What, is it difficult?" asked Lin Cheng.

Smith thought for a moment and suggested: "It is indeed difficult to acquire the national newspapers such as "American Empire Today" and "The New York Times", but the "Houston Chronicle", the ninth largest newspaper in the United States in terms of circulation, should be less difficult to acquire.

The Houston Chronicle is a local Houston daily newspaper founded in 1901 with offices in Washington, D.C., and Austin, Texas.

The Houston Chronicle employs nearly 2,000 people, including about 300 reporters, editors and photographers. The newspaper's owner, John Andadon, has been keen to invest in the Internet technology industry in recent years, but fell into bankruptcy after the Nasdaq stock market crash, and a takeover of the Houston Chronicle should ease his bankruptcy pressure. ”

Of course, Lin Cheng has heard that as the largest local newspaper in Houston, after Yao Ming joined the NBA, most of the news about Yao Ming's presence in the United States was reprinted by the domestic media.

By the way, the acquisition team he currently entrusts is negotiating with the owner of the Houston Rockets, Leslie Alexander, and the negotiations are going very smoothly, since the acquisition of the Houston Rockets in 1993, although the Rockets have a good record, in 1994 and 1995, when Jordan briefly retired, won the NBA championship twice, but the team's management has not improved much, and Leslie Alexander has always been a typical representative of the poor owners of the NBA.

This phenomenon did not change until 2002, when the arrival of Yao Ming did not improve the Houston Rockets' results, but Yao Ming's huge commercial value made Leslie Alexander jump from a poor man in the NBA to the ninth-ranked rich owner in the NBA.

Leslie Alexander said very realistically: "You all know, I want to thank Yao Ming and Maddie, especially after Yao Ming came, he brought me a fortune of 1.2 billion. Because the development of the Chinese market is my biggest business opportunity. My boss has gone from being the bottom of the NBA to being the ninth in the NBA, and my current goal is to increase my assets to more than the Chinese population. ”

However, it is only 2000, although Yao Ming has already landed in the NBA, but it is not too obvious, and the most powerful player in China is Wang Zhizhi, and Yao Ming has to stand aside.

Yao Ming didn't come, Leslie Alexander was naturally living like a year, in the face of Lin Cheng's $300 million acquisition funds, Alexander was very tempted, but businessmen have always been synonymous with greed, Alexander still wants to get more, Lin Cheng's acquisition team is not covered, so the two sides launched a verbal negotiation, for a little profit.

But judging from the current progress of negotiations, the two sides are likely to reach a deal at the $320 million price point, and the Houston Rockets will soon become an NBA team owned by Lin Cheng.

Thinking of the upcoming Houston Rockets, and Yao Ming, who will definitely join the Rockets in the future, Lin Cheng no longer had any hesitation, and immediately said: "I want the Houston Chronicle, and I will leave this matter to you to be responsible for, and the deal will be concluded as soon as possible." ”

Smith said confidently: "Don't worry, boss, you will soon become the boss of the Houston Chronicle!"
