Chapter 319: Covetous
"Ms. Isolt is not worried about us at Ferguson Media. β
Ferguson shrugged: "So I want to ask Mr. Wildenstein, can you resell the Georgia Post to me? Even if you sell me some shares, fifteen percent, it won't damage your status as a major shareholder." And you, Mr. Wildenstein, will gain the friendship of our Ferguson Media. β
"I didn't plan to sell it. β
Li Mochen looked at this: "I know that the Georgia Post has at least 22% of the equity, concentrated in the hands of an overseas offshore company. Although my CIO hasn't investigated who is behind the scenes, I guess it has something to do with you Ferguson Media?"
"In the hands of my friend. β
Mandiwen Ferguson's tone was leisurely: "Mr. Wildenstein, I guess you don't know anything about the media, right? Ms. Nannett Drew is the top editor-in-chief of current affairs, but she may not be able to run two newspapers well. Ferguson Media, on the other hand, has been in the industry for decades, with a strong team and rich experience, as well as unparalleled resources in Georgia. If you wish, Mr. Wildenstein can sit back and enjoy the results, and Ferguson Media guarantees you a generous dividend every year, as well as a guarantee that your will will be reflected in the two daily newspapers. β
Li Mochen was a little impatient: "I'm sorry, I have no intention of reselling the shares, and I won't live up to Ms. Isolt's hopes." Mr. Ferguson, let's put an end to this topic, OK?"
Mandiwen Ferguson's eyes flashed: "Mr. Wildenstein, Ferguson Media is a powerful media group that covers an audience of 11 million people in Georgia. Don't you think about it anymore, if it's just for your future in martial arts, or for your personal career, like the Rising Sun?"
Li Mochen's face instantly turned cold: "If you can do it, then give it a try." β
Mandiwen Ferguson stared at him for a moment, then chuckled one last time, and looked intently at the podium in front of him again.
At this time, the white-haired old man on the left stretched out his hand to Li Mochen with a smile: "Meet Uhtred Essok, a farmer." It must be mentioned that my employees and I are very fond of your Atlanta Labor Journal. In other words, Ms. Drew is going to be in charge of the next day, right? The Drew of the Abraham Post? That's really good news, and I'm looking forward to it. I've loved reading her editorials and reviews since three years ago, and I still do now. β
"Also, don't sell the Georgia Post you have, that's the only reason you can sit here. I don't think you'll be considered a traitor by the Civic Party, will you?"
The Ferguson next to him couldn't help but twitch the corners of his lips, then shook his head slightly and continued to listen to the speech. For such large landowners, especially those as old and respected as wealthy as Essok, the media in their hands is usually helpless.

As he entered the buffet reception, Ms. Isolt introduced him to several people, mainly candidates for the City of Atlanta. Then after a short exchange, Li Mochen promised more than 300,000 gold, and guaranteed the support of the two daily newspapers under his name for these parliamentarians.
After that, Li Mochen and Angela got together. It is worth mentioning that although she is Michelle's daughter, this fundraiser was arranged in the seventh row.
This is the difference between personal power, wealth and social influence, although Angela is from a famous family, but she has not yet been involved in the operation of the Michelle Group. In the presence of Michel Medici, the Civic Party paid limited attention to her.
"Your sister Jennifer, she's sitting in the seventh row, not far from me, and she's been looking at the back of your head just now. β
Angela took Li Mochen's arm and said with some sympathy: "I guess she must be very unconvinced by you now, you haven't washed your father's blood." But then again, I've heard she's been having a bad time lately. β
Li Mochen couldn't help but look sideways at her: "What's wrong?"
He was actually more curious about why Angela knew about the situation.
"It's certain that she's been ostracized within the Wildenstein family, and then there's a three-hundred-person hunting group she runs in the Dark World, a monster farm, and a semi-permanent base, which has been in poor shape lately. β
Angela solemnly explained: "Originally, she signed a good contract with the Plumding Group for the purchase of magic materials, but when the Plumding Group received the goods, she found that the materials she provided were defective, and your sister's company was removed from the supplier list. Then the goods were lowered by other companies. β
Li Mochen suddenly frowned: "I don't think she looks like a person who can do such a thing as shoddy." β
He wandered his gaze and found Jennifer Wildenstein in the crowd. Li Mochen found that this woman seemed to be in a state of isolation and rejection, obviously in the midst of a banquet with staggered cups, but Jennifer was not even a person around her, and she was unable to join any circle of conversations.
However, Li Mochen didn't see any frustration on this person's face, and still maintained a lonely and elegant posture, standing by the glass window and drinking alone.
"Smart people don't do that, and it's probably a trap. Your sister also seems to have decided that the Prentin Group's test results were wrong and is ready to sue the latter. But I guess even if she wins the case, it probably won't helpβ"
Angela pursed her lips: "They just need to drag it out, as long as it takes a year, and if the verdict cannot be pronounced within two years, your sister has a great chance of going bankrupt directly." It's like what your sister did to you in the first place. She's under a lot of financial pressure, and she's recently hired two near-legendary magical professionals. It is estimated that her current company's salary will cost hundreds of millions of gold a year. Now the whole Wildenstein family, the whole city, is waiting to see her joke. β
"You want me to help her?" Li Mochen heard Angela's subtext.
"She's your sister after all. β
Angela blinked: "Regarding your sister's matter, I actually know some information, after all, I and my senior sister are also from the Star Vein Noble Academy. I think it was after something like that that changed her temperament a lot. Maybe your parents didn't tell you, but your current position of power can be found out with a little inquiry. β
Li Mochen couldn't help but groan: "I'll let people inquire about the situation, but it's okay to help, she will only think it's my humiliation to her now." β
As he was saying this, he heard a laugh from behind him: "Hey, Angel! I heard from someone here a long time ago that you transferred to Atlanta, and it seems to be true." β
The two looked sideways and found that it was a young man in a sky blue suit, and behind this person, there was a group of young boys and girls.
Angela didn't recognize it at first, and was slightly stunned: "Dacia, why are you here?"
