The day after Nova Retus took over United Pictures, Lei Juewen asked Nova Retus and Moss Ayrt to meet so that the two companies could share resources, and at the same time did not forget to hand over the sale of the chainsaw videotapes to United Pictures. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The company's affairs are handled by special people, and there are still about ten days before Christmas, and Lei Juewen is not ready to leave the United States until the audit of the little ghost master. If Home Alone can be sure that it will be released at Christmas, he is not ready to leave, and will watch the results of Home Alone before leaving. If the ghost can't be released on time, it's naturally another story.

Lei Juewen still has a large amount of money in his hands, so he has targeted major newspapers and periodicals in the United States. Some of these newspapers and periodicals have a market value of as high as $4.5 billion, while others have a market value of only $100 million, and with his current financial resources, those newspapers and periodicals as high as $4.5 billion are not something he can buy, and people may not necessarily want to sell them, and he can only buy about $100 million or 200 million in newspapers and periodicals.

For this acquisition of newspapers, Lei Juewen did not let Tina Fett deal with it, after all, she was the president of Cent, and he found a third-party company that specialized in these things.

After handing over the matter to a third-party company, Lei Juewen and Guan Zhilin came on a trip to the United States, and there were nearly ten days left to let them have enough.

Five days later, Mr. Lei returned to Los Angeles in a fit of rage.

Mr. Lei's anger was justified by the fact that he had a third-party company contact him to buy a newspaper of his choice, but just yesterday his idea was not only reported, but also ridiculed by several newspapers that rejected it. If he continues to make acquisitions, he will either be falsely accused or ridiculed again.

Lei Juewen, who felt that the third-party company was incompetent, directly fired the third-party company, and at the same time extinguished the idea of buying newspapers and periodicals in the United States.

Although Lei Juewen extinguished the idea of buying newspapers and periodicals, this did not mean that he did not enter the newspaper industry, but that he decided to start his own newspaper and no longer acquire existing newspapers and periodicals. Since people don't play with him, he spends money to play by himself, who is afraid of whom.

Before returning to Los Angeles, Lei Juewen had already contacted Ayman Ellitt, and under the recommendation of Ayman Ellitt, he selected a person, and met this person for coffee in the afternoon of returning to Los Angeles.

Alan Newhas is the current president of Gannett Newspapers and the founder of USA Today. Of course, USA Today didn't exist today, and it wasn't until two years later that the newspaper was founded by Alan Newhaas.

"USA Today" is the only color version of the national folio daily newspaper in the United States, when it was founded two years later, it was like this, and now this newspaper has not been founded, and there is no national newspaper in the whole United States, Lei Juewen wants to create a national newspaper, so as soon as Ayman Alleyt recommended Alan Newhas, Lei Juewen immediately remembered this person and hoped to dig this person over.

"Hello, Mr. Allen!" "Hello, Mr. Ray!"

After the three met, under the introduction of Ayman Ellitt, Lei Juewen and Alan Newhas shook each other's hands and sat down.

Before Lei Juewen could say anything, Alan Newhaas went straight to the point and said: "Mr. Lei, there are a lot of reports about you these days, and if I remember correctly, you don't have your own newspaper company in the United States at present. ”

Lei Juewen nodded and said, "Since Mr. Allen is so direct, then I will say some things directly." At the moment I don't have my own newspaper company, but I'm going to start my own and start a new newspaper genre. ”

"How?" Alan Newhas asked, raising an eyebrow.

Lei Juewen said: "At present, all newspapers and periodicals, no matter how big or small, focus their reporting on the region. With the social, economic, and cultural development of the United States, there will be an increasing number of domestic tourists and public servants who travel every day, but there is no local newspaper that can meet the needs of these people for comprehensive information about the news, markets, finance, weather, entertainment, sports, and other aspects of the entire United States. What I want to start is a national newspaper, different from all the national newspapers in the past. ”

Alan Newhas was silent when he heard this, and then he said: "Some words may not be appropriate to say at this time, but last year, I had this thought. Half a year ago, at a board meeting, I put forward the idea that Gannett would be able to start such a national newspaper, and I even had a name in mind, which was called USA Today, but unfortunately the board of directors rejected my proposal. ”

Lei Juewen raised his eyebrows, and said in his heart It turns out that Alan Newhas had this idea a few years ago, but fortunately, although he is the president, he only works part-time, and the board of directors does not agree with his idea, no matter how capable he is, it is useless. Moreover, even if a newspaper of this nature is founded in the United States Today, the investment at the beginning will not be small, but the results will not be too good, and without strong capital and a strong heart, it will not be able to persist at all. Therefore, even if Alan Newhas is the first to eat the crab, if he Lei Juewen has the heart, as long as he has capital, he will eventually be able to crush the America Today founded by Alan Newhas.

Alan Newhas looked at Lei Juewen and said: "Mr. Lei, do you know that the initial investment of newspapers and periodicals of this nature will be very high, and it is difficult to make profits, and it needs continuous investment. ”

"Since I have this kind of thinking, I naturally know that it is not easy to make a profit."

Lei Juewen nodded in understanding, and said slowly: "As for investment, Mr. Allen, please rest assured, I will invest 30 million US dollars in the initial stage, and if it is not enough in the later stage, I can continue to invest, and the total investment will not be less than 50 million US dollars." ”

"50 million dollars, but that's enough."

Alan Newhas nodded slightly, then fell silent. He knew that Lei Juewen had the intention of poaching him into this new company, and he had no idea of joining the new company before he came, and the reason why he came was just to give Ayman Alleyt a face. But Lei Juewen's idea is very consistent with him, he really wants to start this kind of newspaper, and Lei Juewen's investment is not small, don't worry about funding, the newspaper can't be run, that's his ability. It's just that now that he is the president of the Gannett newspaper company, and he has a bright future, it is worth pondering whether it is necessary to leave the company and take risks.

Looking at Alan Newhas, who was silent, Lei Juewen knew that at this time, he should add another fire and let Alan Newhas make a decision.
