Chapter 290: The New Emperor Ascension (2)

New York is notoriously cold in the winter, not to mention the extreme weather that may encounter snowstorms from time to time. Basically, when it enters December, there are not many tourists on the streets of New York, and people who have long been accustomed to the cold wind New Yorkers, pack yourself tightly early, and never go out if you can, especially in the early morning, when you can’t even see a stray dog ​​on the wide road, it’s like a lonely city in the end.

Yang Cheng woke up early today. Since the agreement with Morgenthau 10 days ago, the entire New Era Media has been busy, preparing for the acceptance of the New York Times. This is almost the last project of the company in 2014. A major acquisition can be regarded as a Christmas gift for all employees.

After all, in the past six months, the company has been expanding crazily at an almost sci-fi speed. All employees are like having a wonderful daydream, watching the company go step by step to where they are today, which makes many employees feel uncomfortable. Be down-to-earth, I am afraid that all this is a dream, and I wake up the next day to find that I am still troubled by finding a job.

Fortunately, the company's continuous work tasks are overwhelming, so that the employees in it have almost no time to think. In order to fulfill the demanding requirements of their superiors, they don't even have time to catch their breath. Until December, New York began to cool down significantly. , the shops on the street put up Christmas decorations early, and when the employees were relaxing, they suddenly realized that the New Era media had expanded to the point where even the New York Times would bow down. All employees who participated in it were proud At the same time, it also has good expectations for the future.

In particular, Yang Cheng sent an email to all employees of the company as early as the end of last month. After announcing the reward plan at the end of the year, the sense of belonging and cohesion of the employees was overwhelming, and they expressed their excitement and eagerness in their respective chat groups. The efficiency of working is a bit faster than usual, so in the process of receiving the New York Times, it went smoothly, almost to the point of seamless connection.

The Toutiao app is also on the first day of December, and once again released heavy news. While announcing the successful acquisition of the New York Times, it also revised and updated the app at a rocket-like speed. With the addition of the New York Times News Department, Toutiao not only It fills up the gap in the news channels in the eastern United States, and also indicates that the headline app has taken a big step forward towards the goal of becoming a mobile portal for people. Just like people used to surf the Internet on the computer through Yahoo and Google, now The first thing young people do when they turn on their mobile phones is to browse their favorite news through the Toutiao app, otherwise they will fall behind.

And New Era Media has also completed its resource integration in the field of American newspapers and periodicals. So far, the Los Angeles Times and the New York Times, two of the four major newspapers in the American news industry, and Time Magazine, one of the four major journals, have all been controlled by Yang Cheng. In one fell swoop, he established his position as the new king of the media. Following Bezos who controls the Washington Post and Murdoch of the Wall Street Journal, he is another tycoon who can turn the public opinion circle upside down.

Other media also followed up and reported that Yang Cheng, the new king of media, came to the United States, especially Yang Cheng's special status, which was interpreted by many media as an important sign that the Chinese are unwilling to keep a low profile and seek their own interests. Of course, there are many of them The racist generation clamored wildly, regarded Yang Cheng as a spy with ulterior motives, and called on the whole people to boycott Yang Cheng, a thief who was stealing American resources and interests. The generation, offend a young new media tycoon?

When Morgenthau pushed New Era Media to acquire the New York Times, many well-informed politicians expressed their goodwill to Yang Cheng through various channels and means, both openly and secretly. He has become a leader in the American-Chinese community, and has laid a solid foundation for his future involvement in ZZ. Everyone knows that the Yang family, which can influence nearly tens of millions of Asians in the United States and is backed by the entire Chinese world, now owns the What a horror behind his own mouthpiece.

The pressure and siege that Yuanshan had suffered before disappeared in an instant, as if it had never existed before. Yang Sen came to the 7bryantpark building specially for this, and gave Yang Cheng a big bear hug. To be honest, Yang Sen also I don't know how the son works. He was able to win the New York Times from Arthur Jr., and I don't know how to get the approval of the regulatory authorities. But these are not important. The result is beautiful. The capital's final acquisition of Delta Airlines has added a lot of confidence.

"Eddie, has Bill's funeral been dealt with?"

On December 3rd, Yang Cheng summoned two of his generals, Ruiz and Eddie, the day before his flight to London. Dongfeng, the United States' strong ascension to the throne, expanded its business territory to the British Isles. Only God, the old man, knows how much wealth is hidden in the hands of the old British nobles. Instead of ruining their descendants, it is better to earn it. It can be regarded as having a place to use.

In Yang Cheng's huge office, the constant temperature system keeps the office from feeling cold at all. Yang Cheng only wears a single shirt with long sleeves, as if he is in Hawaii.

"Yes, boss, Bill's family has expressed their gratitude to our company many times, and public opinion has praised us as a humane company." After the recent acquisition of the New York Times, it was like spring rain, nourishing every part of Eddie's body. In one corner, it seems that even a fine hair is full of youthful breath.

Yang Cheng sneered at this, "You know the real situation best, don't take it too seriously, this time we won 16% of the New York Times Class A shares and firmly controlled 90% of the Class B shares, But this is not enough, you continue to be responsible for negotiating with Slim, and we are willing to accept his shares at a premium of up to 30%."

Eddie and Ruiz looked at each other, and asked hesitantly, "Boss, do you want to delist the New York Times?"

Yang Cheng waved his hand, "Of course not, delisting will not do us any good, and it will waste cash flow. It's good like this. We must let Wall Street follow us and drink some soup, so as not to say that we are eating alone and acquiring Slim's holdings." The stock is also to make some guys with ulterior motives give up and strengthen our position."

"I understand the boss. Slim has been helping little Arthur for the past few years. We all know what the purpose is, but it's a pity that he has nothing to do with it. Since he has no hope of controlling the New York Times, he must not be troubled by money. ’” Eddie said with a relaxed smile.

"Okay, hurry up. Before the end of the year, the company will not make any big moves. Take advantage of this month's time to digest and digest, and strive to reach a new level next year, and make full preparations for the listing."

Yang Cheng drew a big pie, which made Ruiz and Eddie's eyes start to glow green. They all knew that before going public, Yang Cheng would set aside an equity pool to motivate the management and those who have contributed to the company. With the current size of New Era Media's industry, it can be determined that even if it is only a few tenths of a percent, it is enough for them to become real billionaires. No one doesn't like money, especially Americans. So, nothing to be ashamed of.

"Also, Ruiz, I launched a website called Compass a while ago, you know?" Fingers tapped rhythmically on the armrest of the sofa, and suddenly looked at Ruiz and asked.

Ruiz nodded again and again, "Of course, some rumors about Compas are still spreading from the headlines."

"That's good. Some of the search technologies mastered by this company are still very good. Go and get in touch with Ollie Allen to see if he knows what he's interested in this time. If he is willing to sell the company and technology to us, I won't." Be stingy and give him a good price, continue to cooperate with the Yuanshan real estate agency after getting the website, and then arrange resources to promote it, and open channels across the United States as soon as possible.”

"Boss, what if Ollie Allen is still unwilling to cooperate?"

"Then his website wouldn't be necessary."

Yang Cheng's words were so murderous that Ryze Khan shrank his neck subconsciously, apparently also intimidated by his boss's domineering style.

"In addition, all the empty orders on Tesla's side are trying to be withdrawn before Christmas. Musk has already approached the door, and the face still has to be given."

"Damn it, you've earned all the money, why keep it if you don't withdraw it? Is this also called saving face?" This is Eddie's true thought, but he can't say it out, he feels more and more that the boss's thick skin is as thick as The walls of the Great Wall have a fight.

Ryze also had a slander in his heart, but he didn't dare to delay, and simply replied, "It's the boss, and I will tell Alan."

"Well, by the way, has Donna Lande come to New York to report?" Yang Cheng nodded in satisfaction, then asked.

"Not yet. The work of accepting Dreamworks Animation is more complicated. Unlike the New York Times, it will take at least a week or so. Donna Round calls every day to report. She also hopes that we can confirm the location of New Age Pictures' Los Angeles headquarters as soon as possible. Matters." Nominally, Donna Round is the vice president of New Era Media and the CEO of New Era Pictures, and Eddie is in charge, so it is more appropriate for him to answer this question.

Yang Cheng listened, thought for a few seconds, raised his eyebrows and said, "Why don't we just build a branch in Los Angeles and move New Era Pictures, the Los Angeles Times, and other subsidiaries' Los Angeles branches to one place. It also facilitates our centralized management.”

Eddie pushed his glasses, he was not surprised by Yang Cheng's thoughts, in fact they had talked about this topic before, but he still seemed hesitant, "Boss, this is a good idea, but we can build a branch from scratch. Department needs to accommodate thousands of employees from several companies, which will cost a lot of money and take a lot of time.”

Yang Cheng understands Eddie's concerns, but he has other considerations, "Actually, we have been ignoring one problem. New Era Media has developed until now, except for the Forum Company we acquired at the beginning, we have almost no debts, and the Forum Company recently The profit situation is good, and it won’t be long before we can pay off the previous debts independently, so, can we consider taking a loan from the bank?”
