Chapter 592: The Umbrella Predator's Bloody Mouth Has Been Opened (4)
"The goal of France, I chose to be the Evening de France, since Pierre, who pushed the Evening de France to the top? After the death of Lazarev, the newspaper no longer found the social space for their survival, and the current situation is a daily encounter, and the situation is very unoptimistic, and the fundamental reason for this is that the newspaper has lost the quality of its news, and it has lost the favor of the majority of readers. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info And we have quite a lot of high-quality journalism that can make up for his shortcomings and bring him back to life, and we don't have to spend a lot of money" Thomas said about his first goal for the French media industry.
This time, there was no objection, everyone unanimously agreed to pass, and then the second goal, which was passed, but there was a disagreement on the third goal, which was the fashion magazine "Elle", Benjamin's opinion was that this magazine was completely unnecessary, because his circulation was not very large, although his overall circulation was quite large, but on average it was a pitiful amount in one area, and the magazine was very indebted.
Benjamin's point of view was supported by Harvey and William, although this umbrella is a global acquisition, but it is not everything, there is no need to buy it if it is obviously losing money, Thomas and Doyle have the same opinion, the two groups began a heated discussion, Thomas's point of view is that with the newly formed News Corporation, there is enough influence and resources to improve the shortcomings of "ELLE", and it has never developed into a truly top magazine.
Lin Xiaotian began to look through the information of this magazine, which was founded in France in 1945 and has an astonishing expansion capacity of 70 international editions, representing the strongest strength of the French Birch Group. Compared with the younger style of Vogue and Bazaar, as well as the fashion needs of young women today, coupled with the psychology of "women are on par with the young", the economic benefit strategy of ELLE's global flowering is increasingly showing its influence.
After nearly half a century of hard work, ELLE has become a famous fashion brand, ELLE is a women's magazine focusing on fashion, beauty, and lifestyle taste, Lin Xiaotian knocked on the table, and the two groups of people quieted down, waiting for Lin Xiaotian's speech.
"Thomas, "ELLE" represents the strongest strength of the French Birch Group, do you think they will sell this magazine" Lin Xiaotian asked a very realistic question, this magazine is not selling badly, but the sales are very good, and there is a lot of profit, it is a benign asset, Lin Xiaotian estimates that the French Birch Group will not sell it easily.
"Boss, I think you forgot one thing, that is, the stock market crash just past, I got the news, the French Birch Group in this stock market crash can be described as a heavy loss, there is no better opportunity than now, I believe that after the operation of the accounting firm, we can talk about her income in the arms, when the time comes, we will have a professional women's magazine distributed worldwide, which is a great help to the reputation of the umbrella" Thomas did not decide blindly, but after careful consideration, he thought that now is the time to acquire the elle.
Lin Xiaotian began to think about it, and after a while, he thought clearly, he is a capitalist, a predator on Wall Street, if he doesn't eat it at this time, he is still a predator, he must be domineering, thinking of this, his head is clear, "Take him, this can be listed as a key target, regardless of the means, but the team of their magazine must also be won, and there can be no such thing as a green and yellow thing" made the final decision.
Thomas is very pleased that Lin Xiaotian can support his decision, this is a bold chairman, dare to attack, is his ideal boss, Thomas is still very aggressive in his bones, and his sense of external expansion is also quite strong, he knows that this is his best opportunity, and the next time he wants this kind of opportunity, he doesn't know when it will be.
Then everyone's discussion was more, mainly focusing on Thomas, William, Benjamin and the three of them, all of whom had their own reasons and insistence, and began to debate in front of Lin Xiaotian, not wanting to let it at all, this time was not the time to let it, until more than twelve o'clock at noon, when the hotel where the meal was ordered to deliver lunch, it was considered to be over, and the whole noon time decided the acquisition target of the United States, Britain, France, and Germany, and the progress was not fast enough at all, but such progress, Lin Xiaotian was very satisfied, after all, every goal was decided after intense discussion.
Look at the time, since lunch has been delivered, let's eat, take a break after eating and continue, but Lin Xiaotian still assigned a small task to Jane, "Jane, inform them of the heads of the four major accounting firms, come to the Umbrella Building early tomorrow morning for a meeting, and tell them that our acquisition is about to start, and the list will be allocated tomorrow, and it will not wait for the expiration" After finishing speaking, he couldn't help but laugh ha, Lin Xiaotian knew in his heart that these four should be more anxious than himself now.
Doyle, Harvey, Thomas, Benjamin, William, all laughed with this, and there was a sense of pride in their hearts, and they called the four major companies over for a meeting at once, which was definitely a symbol of strength, and so far only the umbrella has played like this, and the others have not played like this.
Everyone started to eat, because there were still things in the afternoon, and they didn't drink, after eating, in Lin Xiaotian's office, everyone started to talk about it for a while, rest for an hour, and then at the beginning of the continuation, Lin Xiaotian also lay on his desk after eating and was confused for a while.
At half past one in the afternoon, Lin Xiaotian was woken up by Jane, Lin Xiaotian knew that the time was up, at this time, several people had already taken turns in Lin Xiaotian's small bathroom, washed their faces, and they were all awake, Lin Xiaotian also stood up and went to his small bathroom to wash his face, and he was about to start again.
In fact, the movement of this umbrella group has been noticed by the big four accounting firms, some time ago, PwC's action in the UK gave a lot of pressure to other companies, but after analysis, PwC's action was highly evaluated, and the other three firms began to warn, and some of the projects at hand were not very good, and they concentrated manpower, in order to make their own reputation in the acquisition frenzy of the umbrella, as long as they have a reputation, will there be a lack of business, they are all shrewd people, You can tell the weight of this.
