"Mr. Allen, may I take the liberty of asking you a question?"

"Of course!"

Alan Newhas was stunned for a moment, recovered from his deep groan, and nodded. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Lei Juewen asked: "At present, you are the president of Gannett Newspaper Company, I wonder how many shares you own in Gannett Newspaper Company?" Actually, he knew about it, and Ayman Ellitt had already told him about it, but there was no need to say it openly, and it would be better to ask Alan Newhas himself.

Alan Newhas replied thoughtfully: "3.7% of the shares, this is my reward for Gannett's contributions over the years. "For a talent like Alan Newhas, Gannett is naturally rewarded with shares, and he spent 11 years at Gannett and was rewarded with a cumulative 3.7% stake. Judging from his current situation, in a few years, he will be rewarded with 1.3% of the shares, adding up to 5% of the shares. After 5%, he will be a minority shareholder of the company, and the share award will not be given to him again, and if he can bring a lot of benefits to the company, he may be able to sell a certain amount of shares to him at the market price; If it does not bring a lot of benefits to the company, then naturally only 5% of the shares belong to him.

"3.7% of the shares, that's not a very high percentage in terms of your ability, Mr. Allen."

Lei Juewen smiled lightly and said, "If Mr. Allen is willing to join, I am willing to sell 5% of the shares to Mr. Allen at a price of one dollar, so that you can become a shareholder of the new company." As for the name of the newspaper, I think it can be just the name "USA Today". ”

Alan Newhaas was slightly surprised, and then a little moved. The 5% stake is not a reason for his heart, it can only be said to be a plus, but the name of the newspaper is "USA Today", which makes him very excited.

Seeing Alan Niuhaas's heartbeat, Lei Juewen smiled and said, "Of course, when Mr. Allen you can make the market value of USA Today reach $200 million when I only invest 50 million US dollars, then I will sell 5% of the shares to Mr. Allen again at the market price at that time." ”

Hearing this, Alan Newhas exhaled softly, but he had a decision.

"BOSS, it's an honor to work under your leadership in the future."

Alan Newhas said as he held out a hand, he had decided to leave Gannett. The nature of USA Today appealed to him, and the future of USA Today would be even better, and there was no reason for him to stay at Gannett all the time. It's true that he has feelings for Gannett, but Gannett is someone else's company, not his.

"I'm glad to join you, Mr. Allen, and I believe that under your leadership, USA Today's results will get better and better."

Lei Juewen smiled and reached out to shake Alan Newhas.

Ayman Ellitt, who had been silent beside him, said to Alan Newhas with a smile at this time: "Alan, Mr. Lei is a native of Hong Kong Island, and he doesn't spend much time in the United States, so as long as "USA Today" does not make mistakes in the general direction, you can make your own decisions on many things. ”

Lei Juewen nodded to Alan Newhas, who looked like him, "At least before 85 years, I didn't have much time to come to the United States. Did you know about Cente Press? ”

Although I don't know why Lei Juewen suddenly asked this, Alan Newhaas still nodded and said: "I know this, just about half a year ago, Cente Publishing House was still a publishing company that did not have much reputation, but with the publication of the two books "Jurassic Park" and "The Da Vinci Code" by Cente Publishing House, Cente Publishing House immediately became famous, and later acquired HarperCollins Publishing Group. ”

Lei Juewen said with a smile: "The Cente Publishing House is my industry, and its president, Tina Fit, now manages the entire Cente Publishing House, and the number of times I have been to the Cente Publishing House can be counted on one hand." I say this so that Mr. Allen you know that I will not hinder you. Of course, if we can't agree on the direction of development, then there is no way. ”

"I didn't expect that Cente Publishing House would still be the boss of your industry, if this was known to the outside world, it wouldn't be overturned."

Alan Newhas was a little surprised, Lei Juewen's industry he knew a little from the media, but now it seems that the media knows only one-sidedly, I am afraid that his boss still has many industries that the media does not know. Take, for example, the sale of Jurassic Park and The Da Vinci Code since the acquisition of HarperCollins Publishing Group, and as a result, the company has made more and more profits and has become more and more valuable. Just a month ago, a newspaper appraised the value of Cent, which at that time was worth about $340 million. This is still the market value of Cente Publishing when it has not published a new work, and a month ago, once Centrale Publishing has a new work released, not to mention as good as "The Da Vinci Code", as long as it is as good as "Jurassic Park", its market value will inevitably usher in a new high.

Lei Juewen joked with a smile: "If the media knows, I'm afraid that I have invaded the United States in another form." ”

Alan Newhas smiled and didn't take this sentence to heart, he is a newspaper, so naturally he will not be affected by the news of the media. His willingness to join Lei Juewen's new company means that he has no discrimination against Orientals, otherwise he would not even come.

Alan Newhas has joined Rai's new company, but he can't take over immediately, and it will take him about two months to leave Gannett. Although two months is not a short time, Lei Juewen can afford to wait, so he nodded in understanding.

Next, Lei Juewen and Alan Newhaas chatted about the operation of USA Today, discussing various aspects.

When Alan Newhas left, Lei Juewen and Ayman Elite did not leave immediately, and Lei Juewen gave Ayman Earett a check for $200,000.

"Mr. Lei, I think if you need our services in any way, we will do our best to do it for you, and we will never let your thoughts be exposed before the matter is done."

For Ayman Ellitt, Lei Juewen is a big customer, this time Lei Juewen did not find him to do things for the first time, which made him not regret, fortunately, another company messed things up, he took the opportunity to get things done, and now he naturally wants to hold Lei Juewen and make Lei Juewen his stable customer.

"Yes, there will be a chance to work together again in the future!"

Lei Juewen nodded and shook hands with Ayman Ellitt. Several times of cooperation with Ayman Elite, Ayman Elite has done everything very well, and he is naturally willing to cooperate with Ayman Elite.
