Chapter 570: Media Channels

"Yesterday morning I got the news that The New York Times wanted to raise money, so I called their chairman, Arthur Oates Salzberg Jr., and they told me that Anthony had contacted him.

Little Arthur took over the company from Old Arthur for only two or three years, and he made this newspaper unpresentable.

Abandoning the original narrative style and blindly pursuing the common people caused the New York Times to lose credibility, and the newspaper's sales fell considerably, and recently it happened to be at its lowest market value.

Arthur Jr. wants to sell 10% of his stake in the New York Times this time, and asks me for $90 million, and if you want to buy it, I can give it to you. ”

With the impact of the Internet, by 2008, Carlos Slim, a Mexican telecommunications tycoon and the world's richest man at the time, bought a 6.4% stake in The New York Times for $118 million.

Han Xuan knew that this was a doomed investment.

But for now, families need a voice in the U.S. that can be heard.

I can't afford to buy ABC TV, so I have to buy some shares in traditional media companies with my nose pinched.

With the New York Times' annual turnover of more than $1.5 billion and a profit margin of 17 percent, it will not lose money at least.

"Okay, I'll let someone do the arrangement.

You squeeze some money out of SOS as soon as possible and buy ABC TV, Disney is in contact with the ABC board. ”

The old man's eyes widened:

"Disney's acquisition of ABC TV can be exchanged for its own stock, and it can have another seven or eight billion dollars in cash.

And if I want to buy, I have to come up with at least nearly $20 billion in cash! Where am I going to squeeze in?

Now it's not good at ratings, it's losing hundreds of millions of dollars every year, and if it keeps going like this, I won't have to jump from the top of the Empire State Building?!"

"First issue corporate bonds in the name of SOS Group, with the credibility of SOS Group, as long as the interest rate is high, no one will buy it.

If that's not enough, take out a loan from a bank.

In order to stimulate economic development and support companies that are about to go bankrupt, the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Finance last month again lowered the tax rate to be paid by enterprises in the event of a merger, and also gave preferential policies such as tax reductions and exemptions.

Rest assured, the ways to make this TV station make money are all in my head, and there will definitely be money.

Where are today's newspapers? They should have covered yesterday's annual meeting of the Snow Mountain Investment Company. ”

"I don't know, it's almost Christmas, and the students who deliver the newspaper are also lazy, so they haven't delivered it yet. ”

Seeing that Han Xuan was full of confidence, the old man asked him unconvinced: "Are you really sure that ABC TV will make money?"

If it had a national television station, the influence of SOS Group in the American political and business circles would expand several times!

As early as last month, when Han Xuan asked him to buy it, Mr. Han sent someone to investigate the debt situation of the American Broadcasting Company, and the amount of money required for this acquisition was too great, and he was never able to make up his mind.

"Really, why are you lying to you.

Not to mention anything else, I wrote a few scripts for my grandfather's Dimen Film Company to shoot and broadcast on ABC TV, which can make this TV station a hit.

A few more variety shows, changing tricks every day, and worrying that no one will watch our shows?

The most criticized thing about ABC is that the news report is not timely and lacks influence.

"Write me a proposal and I'll give me a call and ask Warren Buffett if he has stock in Metropolitan Broadcasting......"

The old man looked thoughtful and walked upstairs.

Outside the door.

Old John, Martinez and Anderson, who had not returned all night, walked staggeringly, standing at the door of the villa and knocking on the door, looking like they were not awake from a hangover.

A boy, about thirteen or fourteen years old, passed by on his bicycle, threw a stack of rolled-up newspapers at the door, and rang the bell a few times.

Snoopy, the sled dog, and Obama, the white tiger, jumped out of the window one after the other and quickly ran to fight for the newspaper.

Anderson was bumped by them, and danced all night, his legs were weak and he couldn't stand firmly, and his butt hurt and his face was distorted.

When he found Old Man Han waving to him, Anderson immediately stood up, wiped his face, and squeezed out a smile.

For this old Chinese man, he was always a little afraid in his heart.

When Han Xuan opened the door and saw Old John, he felt that he had aged several years overnight, and his beard was unkempt.

I leaned in front of them and sniffed, I could smell the strong smell of perfume and wine, and I asked, "What did you do last night? Jones didn't come back with you?"

"Drinking. Old John covered his head with a headache and turned to look: "Yes, where is Jones?"

"I don't know, I'm going to drink yogurt and my stomach is upset.

OMG! New York cocktails smell so strong, your brain is going to explode!"

Martinez was already dark, and he didn't sleep all night, and he could see dark circles under his eyes.

Jones was long gone, and he was gone in the middle of the night with a girl. Anderson was fairly sober, burping, and his mouth smelled of wine.

Han Xuan fanned in disgust, picked up the saliva newspaper from Obama's mouth, and motioned for them to enter the house, "Go take a shower and sleep for a while, and when breakfast is ready, I will have someone give it to you." ”

"Hmm"

Martinez walked as he walked, his legs limped, and his head slammed against the door frame and fell backwards.

Han Xuan looked in pain, and asked the bodyguards to help them upstairs

in the living room.

Barry Jr. is eating fresh bamboo from his fellow Bronx Zoo.

He leaned on Pooh's lap and handed the bamboo to Pooh, wanting Pooh to eat with him.

Poor Pooh, whose eyes were about to be blinded by his bamboo pole, picked up the naughty little guy and slapped him twice on the ass.

McDull doesn't like the city, because there is no prairie here, so she loungs on the floor and eats a breakfast of fruit on her plate.

When he bit the peach pit, he almost lost his teeth, and sold dozens of dollars a pound of peaches in the winter, but he was disgusted and thrown aside.

The two brothers, Cody and Babu Red Panda, who were waiting to eat the leftovers, happily pushed the peaches away and hid under the coffee table.

Babudo took a bite.

Cody immediately looked unhappy and took three bites in succession.

Now it was Babu's turn to be upset, and the two red pandas quickly fought over Peaches

Fat Ding was lying lazily on the sofa, when he heard the sound of footsteps and turned his head, he saw Anya coming downstairs, and quickly ran over to ask for a hug.

It likes the smell of a girl.

Han Xuan came over and helped Anya comb her hair, no need to tie braids, shawl hair is now popular in New York, and said with a smile: "Your mother really doesn't want you anymore, and you won't come back for Christmas."

Breakfast is being made, just a little later. ”

"There's a customer who asks her to paint, and she won't be back until the day after tomorrow, when are you leaving?"

Anya squinted her eyes and let him fiddle with them, half-asleep, her pink slippers worn backwards.

"It's okay lately, just stay as long as you want.

I was going to go to Brown University, but two days ago President Gregorian said that if he represented the school in a chess tournament next spring, he would be exempt from the exam. ”

"Can you play chess?"

"No, it's not difficult, and then learn for a few days. ”

Han Xuan has the confidence to say this kind of thing, relying on the chess game of his brain, it is not difficult for him, and it is easier to find an excellent chess teacher, and he can find as much as he wants.

"Got it, go get some coats, it's a little cold today. ”

Anya looked at her hair in the mirror, it was still very messy, and she had no choice but to show an expression that was really like this (to be continued. )
