Mark received news of a strike by employees in the publishing industry, but also received a rebuke from the city government, and the current mayor of New York City is the famous Bloomberg, as the mayor of the world's largest city, he does not have his own office, and works with civil servants in the city hall, which has won him widespread praise.

In Bloomberg's view, "walls are obstacles, and it's my job to remove them." Under his management, the spirit of government workers was renewed. Time magazine commented, "Bloomberg has brought unprecedented productivity and transparency to New York City. Over the past three years, Bloomberg has made a variety of efforts that have yielded results: reducing crime, stimulating economic growth in urban areas and eliminating a $6 billion deficit, improving the quality of life of residents by eliminating smoking and noise in restaurants and bars, and establishing a complaint and advice hotline to improve communication with the public.

The Wall Street information tycoon, who took over the mayor's scepter from Giuliani, the famous mayor who had gone through 911 before, said that he would run the city like a company, and injected vitality into the city.

Solving the employment rate and increasing GDP is a problem that any official has to face, Mark They gave up the publishing business and laid off 30,000 people, which made them very unhappy, Time Warner is not so bad, why cause such trouble, they do not agree to such violent layoffs, and have been interfering in mediation.

In fact, no matter what Time Warner does, it is an internal matter, and the reasons and basis for government interference are not sufficient, but now that the situation is sensitive and the employment rate is not optimistic, the city government hopes that the two sides will reach an agreement to at least reduce the number of layoffs from 10,000 to 1,000 per year.

Named "the world's most powerful billionaire" by Forbes, Mr. Bloomberg commands 310,000 government employees and controls a $60 billion annual budget.

At the end of last year, Bloomberg broke through legal restrictions and was re-elected mayor of New York City for the third time, and the sophisticated and fastidious New Yorkers became more and more convinced that under the financial crisis and economic recession, the "old Mike" who is both political and business is the most qualified person to lead them through the disaster, after all, when the fortunes of Bill Gates and Warren Buffett have shrunk by the order of billions, he is one of the only billionaires in the top 20 of the Forbes list of the United States to grow in wealth, making a net profit of $5.5 billion.

In 2001, Bloomberg withdrew from the daily operation and management of Bloomberg, but he still has absolute control of Bloomberg, so his net worth is more than 16 billion US dollars, in July 2008, in the case of the financial crisis, Merrill Lynch is in danger, and he bought back 20% of Bloomberg's shares, making his own shares to 88%, becoming the chaebol with the most asset appreciation on the Forbes rich list this year.

Bloomberg and Mark had a good personal relationship, invited each other to many important parties, and both benefited from exchanging news during the last financial tsunami, and Bloomberg had the opposite view of the future of publishing, believing that this old gentleman's industry still has a lot to offer.

For Time Warner's exit from the industry, he secretly welcomes it, and the loss of one of the most powerful competitors is a good thing for everyone, but he has joined forces with a number of publishing groups, and he can't eat the power vacuum after Time Warner's withdrawal, which means that tens of thousands of people will push unemployment into society, which is not what he wants to see.

Also, he is quite devious of several national magazines such as "Time", "Life", "Fortune", and "Sports Illustrated", but Mark has no intention of selling them, he is desperate for Mark to spit out a few more pieces of fat.

Bloomberg is the most shrewd man, so many rich people are in politics, and their fortunes will shrink, and only his is growing rapidly.

In 2001, when the illustrious Giuliani was not re-elected due to legal restrictions, Mr. Bloomberg immediately seized the opportunity. At first, Bloomberg was a clear Democrat, but seeing that there was fierce competition within the party and that the Republican side did not even have a decent candidate, he "defected" to the Republican Party and successfully became the Republican candidate.

But New York is the stronghold of the Democratic Party, and there are five times as many Democrats as Republicans, and Republicans have little chance of being elected. In order to be elected, Mr. Bloomberg assembled a first-class campaign team, using his media background to canvass votes through media propaganda. He paid $69 million out of his own campaign to become mayor, while also setting the record for the most expensive mayoral election.

"Because I'm running for mayor out of my own pocket, my future policies won't be dictated by campaign money investors," Bloomberg said. After becoming mayor, Bloomberg voluntarily gave up the generous salary offered by the government and only received a symbolic annual salary of $1, which was also a record in the United States. In November 2005, he was re-elected mayor of New York City, thus reaching new heights in his career.

Bloomberg is different from Mark, Mark likes luxury, in and out of luxury cars, a large number of bodyguards in front and behind, and often travels by helicopter, if it is a long trip, it must be a private jet, and it is a coincidence to meet Mark.

And running into Bloomberg on the subway is something New Yorkers are used to. In the crowded carriages, Mr. Bloomberg often couldn't find a seat and had to stand for half an hour to get home. Mr. Bloomberg rode the subway on his first day in office, and many thought it was just a show, but he was on a show for three years.

Bloomberg believes that taking the subway is a way to save money, reduce traffic congestion in the city center, and provide an opportunity to reach out to the public, and he can also learn about the work of the transportation department and address post-9/11 concerns about subway safety.

Mark is laughing at this guy for putting on a show, making so much money, instead of a chic life, he puts on a show, what is the reason for saving money? Time is the most important thing, so much money is not spent, is it waiting for it to depreciate?

Bloomberg took the subway after work because he didn't get off work, and the way home was part of his job, and he was observing the people?

On the set, Mark rarely played with the staff, because after eating, he hid in a Mercedes luxury bus, not to enjoy life, but to approve documents.

Meghan said, "Don't look at Mark to get the job done like a play, but it's going to be painful to do it with someone else." ”

This time, Bloomberg, a tycoon, came to the door, and he had to talk to Mark for both public and private purposes.

People in the publishing department thought that if they went on strike, the parent company would panic about the small temple fire, but Mark was resolute and unwavering.

And the management, led by Barry, was the first to take the blame, claiming that everything was the decision of the management, and that it had nothing to do with Mark, and that they would not have any kind of negotiation with the strikers until the employees had lifted the insults against Mark.

This Black Lord of the Galaxy has always been extremely powerful.

When both sides were furious and ready to brew a bigger storm, Bloomberg, the peacemaker, appeared, he intended to eat a part of Mark's property, but Mark's practice of only selling fat meat and not lean meat was inappropriate, he wanted Mark to sell two of the four major magazines in his hands, he wanted Time magazine and "Fortune".

Mark said: "If I sell Time Magazine, I'm afraid I'll kill people just out of the office, and this is Time Warner." ”

Bloomberg said: "Mark, Mingren doesn't talk darkly, I'm interested in the publishing business in my hand, and if the price is right, I don't mind eating it." ”

Mark snorted and said, "Welcome! Michael wants it, the price is negotiable." ”

Bloomberg: All for sale?"

Mark said: "Except for Time magazine, everything else, as long as the price is right, everything is easy to discuss." ”

Bloomberg said: "The publishing industry has a history of hundreds of years, it has continued human civilization, and I am not curious, the publishing business of Time Warner Systems has been declining year after year, but it is still profitable, why do you abandon it?"

Mark said: " After the nuclear war, the world's major cities were demolished, and these books and documents were among them, all destroyed, either destroyed by nuclear war, or destroyed by continuous wars, in the war, large buildings like libraries, could not be saved, the good news is that an explorer named Martin found a hard drive in the ruins of MM headquarters, which contains all the books in human history, from Shakespeare literature to pornography, the history of our civilization has been continued, Michael, I am more inclined to believe that human history will be preserved in this way。 ”

Bloomberg said, "This is your new sci-fi movie play, which sounds good, but I wonder if you can still read hard drives and read text when humanity is on the verge of extinction?"

Mark said: "Pingguo Company is developing a large hard disk, which has enough storage space to put down the National Library, and it is a biological code automatic unlock, solar cells, voice and image recognition systems, and his volume is not much larger than a book, which can preserve human civilization in an extremely harsh post-apocalyptic environment, my friend." ”

"I'm an old-school person, I prefer traditional and old things, the advent of books, so that our knowledge can be preserved and disseminated, and I also believe that for a long time, it will take on this kind of role, you Mark can make hundreds of millions of dollars just make a movie, naturally I don't put this little money in my eyes, but I believe that this is a tenacious industry, it can be self-sufficient, tenacious to survive." ”

Mark said: "Michael, friends are friends, business is business, the price must be right to negotiate, you have to know that Time Warner people are not easy to deal with." ”

Bloomberg said, "I thought you were a meat sale?"
