Chapter 146: Negotiating Countermeasures (1)

"Looking good! You are so beautiful, dear." Yang Cheng raised a hand to pin a strand of hair from Georgina's ear behind her ear, and praised without hesitation.

"Hehe, you're smart!" Georgina covered her mouth and shrugged her shoulders and smiled coquettishly.

"What do you want with Amanda?" After laughing, Georgina remembered to ask about the purpose of this trip.

Yang Cheng restrained her smile, played with Georgina's hand, and briefly described the lunch meeting, and finally said pitifully with helpless eyes, "My dear, I heard that Uncle Michael has always wanted to buy the New York Times. Don't ask him for help?"

It is rumored that as the head of the media empire Bloomberg Group, Georgina's father, Michael Bloomberg, has repeatedly hoped to acquire the New York Times but failed.

Bloomberg Group, as an American financial media giant, Michael Bloomberg has been committed to the transformation plan of Bloomberg Group in recent years. He wants to gradually get rid of the dependence on financial information services and further expand his influence in the field of news media.

In Michael Bloomberg's view, Arthur Jr. has been completely out of touch with this era and cannot continue to lead the New York Times to survive in the digital age. This point of view coincides with Yang Cheng's idea.

It seems that last year Michael Bloomberg discussed the acquisition with Arthur Schulzberg Jr., but was rejected by the other party on the grounds that it was not for sale, but Michael Bloomberg will not give up easily. The business magazine "Businessweek" is acquired and renamed "Bloomberg Businessweek".

Georgina saw that Yang Cheng was paying attention to her father, and she showed a mischievous smile, "You still dare to ask my father for help? He knows about the two of us, and you slept his favorite little daughter, not only Didn't you say you still want to ask him for help? Stop daydreaming?"

Yang Cheng's face suddenly turned pale, and it happened that a slant of the sun hit his face through the car window at this time. From Georgina's perspective, it was like seeing a ghost.

"Don't scare me? How could Uncle Michael know about us?" Yang Cheng's brain was almost at a standstill, and what he asked made Georgina laugh while covering her stomach.

"What are you laughing at?" Yang Cheng was puzzled, rubbed her bloodless face, and pointed at Georgina's arm.

"Don't touch me, let me laugh for a while! Idiot, the bodyguards around me are all arranged by my father. You spent several nights in my club, and I ran to your ranch again. Do you think the bodyguards will not inform my father? Also, I don't believe that Uncle Yang and Aunt Liu don't know about us." Georgina kept laughing and answered for Yang Cheng, and she didn't forget to choke Yang Cheng.

"Eh~ It seems to be the reason." Yang Cheng smiled mischievously,

He was about to cry because of his own stupidity, thinking that the "stealing" thing was very secret and would not be discovered by others, but it was exposed under the nose of others early on, and he didn't bring such a bully, and why is this scene so familiar , Have you ever dreamed about it?

"Then why didn't your father stop you from continuing to communicate with me?" Yang Cheng couldn't recover half of his IQ, so he could only ask shamelessly.

Georgina was probably tired of laughing, so she leaned directly into Yang Cheng's arms, and said softly, "I'm not a child, who can control me if I find a man to solve my physical needs? Besides, my father admires you very much, so why can't I be with you in the end?" You come together with regrets and keep saying that even if you are 1/8 Jewish, you can marry me."

Yang Cheng rolled his eyes, and said in a bad tone, "Are you a villain who treats me like a ZW stick? You're saying that I'm the same as your male pets."

"Hehe, what kind of male favorite, don't talk nonsense. In short, you don't have to worry about my father. If you really want my father to help, you'd better come to the door directly. It's more sincere for you to say it yourself than for me to convey it." Georgina Yang Cheng found a comfortable position in her arms, rubbed against her like a little cat, and suggested with a smile while squinting her eyes.

"Well, I see. Talk to Amanda first. If she is willing to join forces, maybe Uncle Michael will not be needed."

. . .

Not long after the car drove into Eighth Avenue, the jagged silhouette of the building located on Columbus Circle and easily recognized in the environment came into view. The diamond-shaped Hearst Building came into view. It is the first building in New York City. The "green" office building is designed and built by Foster + Partners with great innovative design talent. The surface uses a triangular steel structure, which can save 21% of steel consumption. In addition, 90% of the steel is made of recycled materials;

On rainy days, rainwater is collected on the roof and stored in the basement, which becomes a key source for floor plumbing, irrigation and water sculptures in the lobby, which is very environmentally friendly.

After the car stopped, Yang Cheng led Georgina into the headquarters of the Hearst Group, and saw a three-storey water sculpture composed of thousands of glass panels to control the thermal environment in the building. Rainwater cools and humidifies the air, and Hearst Tower maintains a comfortable temperature with natural ventilation for most of the year.

After confirming the appointment with the front desk, take the smart elevator to the 42nd floor. The whole building is actually built on the basis of the original 6-story stone building. The office on the top floor belongs to Amanda's mother. Succession, that symbolic huge office will also be passed on to Amanda.

Of course, the office now belonging to Amanda is not bad either. The simple decoration style highlights her direct and bright work style. The main color of gray is neither dark nor visually fatigued under the bright light. The desk is placed on the side of the glass curtain wall, and the sunlight shoots down from the back when working, which provides brightness without being dazzling. When she is tired, she can sit on the boss chair and turn 180 degrees in situ, and she can look at Bryant from a distance. garden.

Speaking of which, the location of the Hearst Building is not far from Yang Cheng's company. From the height of Amanda's office, it is difficult to see Yang Cheng's office scene in the company with high-powered military binoculars.

"Hello, Amanda, long time no see."

"You too, Georgina, it's such a pleasure to see you."

. . .

Yang Cheng stood aside with his arms around his shoulders as if he had seen him for a long time, watching the pair of plastic sisters relive their friendship, wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh, his face turned the color of shit.

"The two of you are almost done, and there are no outsiders here. Who will you show it to?" Yang Cheng thought it was fun at first, but the two women kept talking politely, over and over again with the same meaning: Oh, you have become more beautiful? It's not beautiful without you! You are more beautiful! You are the most beautiful!

Uncle Nima, I’m here to talk about business, not to watch them perform the daily communication of upper-class women. Both of them have full marks for this skill, and that smiley expression, except for Yang Cheng, who can detect a trace of hypocrisy ?

Any outsider looking at it would definitely think that the two girls are half-sisters with a deep relationship.

"Get out~"

"Shut up!"

Well, Yang Cheng knew this was the result, so he tried to persuade the two girls to sit down, and after Amanda's secretary brought coffee, he could finally talk about business.

"Amanda, have the Hearst family and the Schulzberger family ever been dirty before?"
