Chapter 204: A Slap in the Head

ps: I'm sorry I fell asleep and didn't update in time, please forgive me!

"This sincerity is not for me, it is for the counterparty you need to trade, I think as long as your sincerity arrives, they will make the right decision!"

Smith looked at George's eyes that did not fluctuate, George at this moment made him a little incomprehensible, a moment ago he was still glaring at each other, constantly stirring his nerves, but now he was sitting there like a business elite and trading with himself, although his methods were still immature.

Especially when he leaked everything in front of him, if he didn't face himself but another person, he believed that the price George would have to pay would be much greater.

But at this time, his calmness made him shake his judgment a little, but one thing he was sure of was that George had indeed set his sights on the Los Angeles Times, and this decision had just been made, otherwise he would have already let people start to contact the Mirror or the Morgan consortium, and there was no need to invite himself here to contact the rest of the shareholders as his intermediary.

"What are you talking about so harmoniously? Mr. Yang?"

When George was about to speak, Qiao Li's voice came, and the two looked at Qiao Li who had come from the kitchen to the living room at this moment, then looked at each other, and then smiled slightly.

"It's nothing, I'm asking Mr. Smith to be my middleman to contact the shareholders of the Los Angeles Times for me to see if they are willing to sell their shares!"

Looking at Qiao Li who walked to the sofa and sat down to look at the two of them, George thought that this was not something that needed to be kept secret, after all, there was just such an idea now, if it really needed to be implemented, it would take a while to improve his plan during this time, and he would also be prepared to find a replacement media once he was rejected.

In the past few years, he has been devoted to the stock market and does not know much about the United States, but Jory is different, because he often advises Smith behind the scenes, and he is familiar with many aspects of the United States.

What's more important is that he is just relying on the foresight of the next few decades to make money, and Qiao Li is different from the millions of dollars of assets given by Smith in ten years, rolling up to hundreds of millions of dollars in assets now, dozens of times the income is not something that anyone can do, although there is a reason for the timely news, but it cannot be denied Qiao Li's ability, after all, some people have news and relationships may not be able to do this level, all of which fully shows that Qiao Li's business acumen is far beyond her rookie。

After all, he used to be dedicated to the financial market, but now he has suddenly transformed into a high-tech and media detour, especially the share and even status occupied by major families and consortia, etc., and he needs someone to help him.

Between choosing between outsiders and his own people, George will definitely choose his own people without hesitation, not to mention that this person is still his mother.

"It's not a good idea to buy the Los Angeles Times, and if you want to get into the media industry, I'd suggest you start with small newspapers, buy a few regional newspapers and put them together than if you were to get into the Los Angeles Times. ”

After listening to George's explanation, Qiao Li was stunned for a moment, then frowned and thought about it, and looked at George and said slowly.

She was not at all optimistic that George would be able to get the Los Angeles Times into his hands, a Morgan consortium would be enough to make him tired of coping, not to mention that those who held shares in their hands were not short of money, would they give up their biggest killer weapon for a little profit!

The main thing is that although the Los Angeles Times claims to be neutral, anyone with a little bit of brains understands that the Los Angeles Times is more biased towards the Democratic parties, after all, many of its shareholders belong to the Democratic Party, and those people will agree to hand over their mouthpiece to a young man who is just starting out and has strong blood.

After all, George is only in his twenties, and even the son of Watt Smith cannot hide that he is a man without any political leanings, and once such an important mouthpiece is in his hands, no one dares to guarantee what will happen.

"I'll think about it!"

George attached great importance to Qiao Li's suggestion, and after thinking seriously for a while, he slowly spoke.

In the past, he had always set his sights on these companies with huge circulation, huge influence and sufficient benefits for him in the future, and he never thought of looking elsewhere.

However, after Qiao Li brought it up today, the first memory that came to his mind was that Warren Buffett swept more than 100 small newspapers like buying cabbage, and then slowly integrated them together, so as to form a very important force.

A lot of things are separated by a layer of paper, as long as you pierce that layer of paper everything becomes very simple, George knows that he has made a greedy mistake, since he has a huge amount of cash in his hand, his eyes will become correspondingly different, and he will naturally throw it into something that conforms to his identity, which is a subconscious behavior, and it is not something that can be changed without thinking, especially since he has never been in business, which may be because of the sequelae of making a huge amount of money in his hands through the Internet bubble

In a capitalist country, to control a very wide circulation, very influential media is equivalent to grasping the right, before George's eyes have been staring at the Internet media, after all, the future is the world of the Internet, with the launch of Apple's smart phones, the Internet transplanted to mobile phones, after the prevalence of real-time communication, everything has changed, and the paper media has begun to go downhill.

But George forgot the important point, no matter how the print media declines, his influence still exists, not everyone will stare at the phone to watch the news, such as Bezos's acquisition of the Washington Post when he has huge influence in the future, it can be seen that although the sales of print media continue to decline, but the role is still there.

Especially at the turn of the century, you are still the world of paper media in the world, although there is a Yahoo is constantly expanding the territory, but the real situation is that the share of home computers at this time is still very low, not the era of smartphones everywhere in the future.

Qiao Li's words opened a new direction for George, and at the same time he was a little remorseful, he still took it for granted, after understanding this, George's desire to form a think tank became urgent, no matter how strong a person's ability is, there will be loopholes, if a few more people help him come up with ideas, then everything will become perfect.
