Chapter 570 Media Channels
"I got news yesterday morning that the New York Times wanted to seek financing, so I called their chairman, Arthur Oates Salisberg Jr., who told me that Anthony had contacted him.↑,
Little Arthur took over the company for only two or three years from Old Arthur, and made the newspaper look unsatisfactory.
Abandoning the original narrative style and blindly pursuing popularization led to the New York Times losing credibility, and the sales of newspapers have declined a lot. Recently, it happened to be the lowest market value.
This time, Arthur Jr. wants to sell 10% of the shares in the New York Times and ask me for $90 million. If you want to buy it, give it to you."
With the impact of the Internet, by 2008, Mexican telecom tycoon and the richest man in the world at that time, Carlos Slim bought 6.4% of the New York Times for US$118 million.
Han Xuan knew that this was a doomed investment.
But for now, families need channels to express their own voice in the United States.
If you can't afford to buy ab TV station, you have to buy some shares in traditional media companies even if you hold your nose.
With the current annual turnover of more than $1.5 billion, the New York Times has a profit margin of 17%, at least it will not lose money.
"Okay, I'll ask someone to arrange it.
You can squeeze out some money from SoS Group as soon as possible and buy ATV. Disney is in contact with ABC board of directors."
The old man glared:
"Disney can buy AB TV station and exchange it for its own stock, and it will be worth $700,000 or more in cash.
If I want to acquire it, I have to take out at least nearly 20 billion US dollars in cash! Where can I squeeze it?
Now it has poor ratings and loses hundreds of millions every year. If I continue like this, I will not have to jump from the roof of the Empire State Building?!"
"First issue corporate bonds in the name of Sos Group. With the reputation of Sos Group, as long as the interest rate is high, there is no need to worry about no one buying it.
If it is not enough, then borrow from the bank.
In order to stimulate economic development and support companies that are about to go bankrupt, the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Finance once again lowered the tax rates to be paid during corporate mergers last month, and also provided preferential policies such as tax reduction and exemption.
Don't worry, the ways to make this TV station make money are all in my mind, and there will definitely be profits.
Where is the newspaper today? They should have reported on the annual meeting of Snow Mountain Investment Company yesterday."
"I don't know, Christmas is coming, and the students who delivered newspapers are lazy, and they haven't delivered it yet."
Seeing that Han Xuan was confident, the old man asked him unsure: "Is he really sure to make money by ab TV station?"
If it had a national TV station, the Sos Group's influence in the American political and business circles would expand several times!
Mr. Han sent someone to investigate the debt situation of ABC when Han Xuan asked him to buy it last month. The amount of money required for this acquisition was too great, and he was still unresolved.
"Sure, why are you lying to?
Not to mention anything else, I will write a few scripts for my grandfather’s Dimen Pictures to shoot and broadcast on ATV, which will make this TV station popular.
I’m going to do a few more variety shows, and I’m going to change my tricks every day, but I’m still worried that no one will watch our show?
The most criticized thing about ab is that the news reports are not timely and lack influence. After buying them, it is absolutely OK to make up for this shortcoming!”
"Write me a planner, I'll call Buffett, he has stocks from Metropolitan Broadcasting..."
The old man looked thoughtful and walked towards the building.
Outside the door.
Old John, Martinez and Anderson, who had not returned overnight, walked around and down, stood at the door of the villa and knocked on the door, looking like he was still hangover.
The boy, about thirteen or fourteen, rode his bicycle by, threw a stack of rolled up newspapers at the door and pressed the bell a few times.
Sled dog Snoopy and White Tiger Obama jumped out of the window one after another and quickly ran to compete for the newspaper.
Anderson was hit by them and danced all night. His legs were weak and he couldn't stand firm. His butt hurt and his face was distorted.
When he found Mr. Han who was waving to him, Anderson immediately stood up, wiped his face, and squeezed out a smile.
He was always a little scared of this old Chinese man.
When Han Xuan opened the door and saw Old John, he felt that he had been several years old all night and had a unshaven beard.
He came to them and sniffed, and could smell the strong perfume and wine, and spoke suspiciously: "What did you do last night? Jones didn't come back with you?"
"Drinking." Old John covered his head with a headache and turned around to look for it: "Yes, where is Jones?"
"I don't know, I'm going to drink yogurt and feel sick.
My God! The cocktails in New York are so delicious, and my brain is about to explode!”
Martinez was already dark and hadn't slept all night, and he could see dark circles of his eyes.
"Jones was no longer here. He walked away in the middle of the night with a girl." Anderson was still sober, and he burped, his mouth smelled of alcohol.
Han Xuan disliked and suffocated. He picked up the saliva-filled newspaper from Obama's mouth and signaled them to enter the house, "Go and take a shower and sleep a while, and wait until the breakfast is ready, I'll give it to you."
"Um"
As Martinez walked, his legs became weak and his head hit the door frame and fell backwards.
Han Xuan felt so painful when he saw it, and asked the bodyguard to help them upstairs.
In the living room.
Little Barry was eating fresh bamboo from his fellow Bronx Zoo.
It lay leaning on Winnie's legs and handed the bamboo to Winnie, wanting Winnie to eat with her.
Poor Winnie was about to be blinded by it with a bamboo pole. She picked up the naughty little guy and slapped it twice in the butt.
McDull doesn't like the city because there are no grasslands here, so he lies lazily on the floor and eats breakfast made of fruit on the plate.
When I bit the peach pit, I almost broke its teeth. In the winter, I sold peaches that cost dozens of dollars per pound, but were disliked by it.
The two brothers, Kaudie and Babu Little Panda, happily pushed the peach away and hid under the coffee table, and they ate one bite at a time.
Babu took a bite more.
Cody immediately looked unhappy and took three bites in a row.
Now it was Babu's turn that he was upset, and the two little pandas quickly started fighting because of peaches
The fat Ding was lying lazily on the sofa, and turned his head when he heard footsteps. When he saw Anya going downstairs, he ran over and begged for a hug.
It likes the smell of girls.
Han Xuan came over and helped Anya combed her hair without braiding her hair. Now she is popular in New York's shawl hair and said with a smile: "Your mom really doesn't want you anymore, and she won't come back for Christmas.
Breakfast is being made, it will be done later.”
"A customer asked her to draw, and she would not be able to come back until the day after tomorrow. When will you leave?"
Anya squinted her eyes and let her fiddle with her, and was half asleep and half awake, and her pink slippers were in the opposite direction.
"It's okay lately, how long is it?
I was planning to go to Brown University, but two days ago, President Gregorian said that as long as he represents the school to participate in the chess competition next spring, he will be exempted from the exam."
"You can play chess?"
"No, it's not difficult, I'll learn for a few days."
Han Xuan has the confidence to say such things. It is not difficult for him to play chess competitions based on his brain. It is easier to find an excellent chess teacher and can find any number of people you want.
"It's done, go add a coat, it's a bit cold today."
Anya looked at her hair in the mirror, but she was still very messy, but she had no choice but to show such an expression (to be continued.)
