I want to be a giant of Hong Kong Island

Chapter 382 [Take second place]

The next day, Wu Guangyao led his team to the office of News of the World;

In fact, Wu Guangyao does not need to participate in this kind of negotiation in person, just let the private advisory group do the negotiation;
However, since I have time, it is more fulfilling to participate in person. After all, this is the first step for Oriental Media to go out of Asia.

Since the appointment was already made yesterday, everyone naturally met the master—Carl, the chairman of the "News of the World".

"Sir Wu, hello! I have admired the reputation of the world's ship king for a long time, and I am honored to meet you today." Carl stretched out his hand and said enthusiastically.

It seems that among all Wu Guangyao's titles, only 'World Ship King' is the most famous and resounding;

After all, with this status, Wu Guangyao is already a guest of the leaders of various countries.

"Mr. Carl, you are welcome!" Wu Guangyao also responded in a friendly manner.

In any case, if the acquisition is to be successful this time, whether Carl is happy or not is the key thing!
Because it holds 80% of the shares of "News of the World", it is not afraid of anyone's forced acquisition.

During the period, Chris took the initiative to say hello to Carl: "Hello, Uncle Carl!"

Carl was obviously taken aback, he seemed familiar with this beautiful girl, but he was not sure.

"I'm Chris Bulwer Lytton, I've seen you with my father before!"

Carl suddenly came to his senses, and finally realized, isn't this the fourth Earl of Lytton?
This is much higher than his own jazz status.

After greetings from both parties, we finally got to the point.

"Sir Carl, we Oriental Media want to buy the News of the World from you."

"Sir Wu, "News of the World" is not for sale in the Karl family, I'm sorry!"

Not for sale, you still see us, isn't this a contradiction?

"Sir Karl was joking, there are no items not for sale in the world! 80 pounds, how about we buy all the shares in Sir Karl's hands?" Wu Guangyao gave a 17% premium price.

"Sir Wu, the Karl family really has no intention of selling their shares!" Karl's expression changed slightly, and he refused.

Wu Guangyao smiled and said nothing more, Jonathan immediately took over the negotiation.

"Sir Carl, my boss really came here with sincerity, why don't you say a price!"

Karl continued to shake his head, unmoved, but actually already moved!

"Sir Karl, according to my investigation, the sales of "News of the World" are still declining, and your usual moves (yellow content) have no effect. Instead of letting it be buried, let us Oriental Media try it, you may not Knowing the strength of our Oriental Media in Hong Kong Island, let me explain it to you in detail." Jonathan said eloquently, explaining the power of it, and summing it up, if you can't do it, why don't you let us do it too!
Chris finally realized that the acquisition of a company is not just a bunch of numbers, but also the relationship between them has to be clarified.

"160 million pounds, if you must win it, this is the price!" Karl finally let go, but the price was a full 120% premium.
If Dongfang Media took this price, wouldn't it be a joke!

This act of being taken advantage of alone can make the British media colleagues laugh for a month.

Jonathan continued to bargain, and within an hour, the price stayed at 120 million pounds, and Karl refused to let go.

Wu Guangyao and the others had no choice but to go back home temporarily to discuss it.

Back at the hotel, Jonathan said, "Boss, don't participate in the future, lest Carl think you are rich and want to make a fortune."

Wu Guangyao nodded, what Jonathan said made sense.

"You go to contact Carl again. If he refuses to back down, we will discuss with him and jointly manage the "News of the World". In just half a year, we at Oriental Media will be able to revive the "News of the World". Great improvement. When the time comes, wouldn't it be more venting to just let him go!"

Everyone's eyes lit up, and they agreed with Wu Guangyao's point of view very much!

As long as Dongfang Media owns 40% of the shares and participates in the operation of "News of the World", and then wins over other shareholders to make trouble on the board of directors, Karl must not obediently hand over the chairmanship.

Of course, the key to this is to speak for yourself with your achievements, otherwise why would other shareholders support you!

In this regard, Wu Guangyao is very confident. After running the "News of the World" in his previous life, Murdoch used a lot of shocking news to attract attention. After half a year, the sales volume increased significantly.

Oriental Media has learned this trick!

On the third day, things finally turned around. Carl was willing to sell 38% of the shares to Oriental Media at a price of 50 pounds. Oriental Media participated in the specific operation of "News of the World".

The two sides did not publicize this matter with much fanfare, each had their own reasons, and each had their own calculations!
The business in Europe is over, Wu Guangyao is going to leave for the United States to meet with Buffett;

Before leaving, Wu Guangyao said to Yang Kang: "Ask Lu Qingshan to personally lead a team to catch this matter. Remember what I said. If we want to change the status quo of "News of the World", we must use shockingly heard news, naked bodies, etc. The picture is coded at three points, and the violent picture is slightly blurred. If these three tricks are used well, we will be eligible to let Karl step down in less than half a year."

Yang Kang said: "Don't worry, the boss, Lu Qingshan is an old expert in newspapers and periodicals, and he will definitely understand your truth!"

At this time, Wu Guangyao, in order to make money or increase his influence, can be said to be a bit radical!

But businessmen are like this, and they naturally have to be a little more aggressive for money, although this will be criticized.

After everyone left, Chris recovered from the shock and couldn't help asking: "Are you also the kind of businessman who uses everything?"

Wu Guangyao said frankly: "If you don't use these strange tricks, how can you change the status quo of "News World"! Also, if I don't do these things, won't others? At least I still know how to code and blur. Reese, you have to remember that a businessman is a businessman, you can have your own bottom line, but you have to think about making money first."

Chris seems to understand, but Wu Guangyao can only shake his head, he is not deep in the world!
If it wasn't for Wu Guangyao's other industries, he was afraid of being affected;
Then Wu Guangyao may learn from the Murdoch of the later generations, and directly use naked and violent pictures to exaggerate the attractiveness of newspapers, instead of typing, blurring, and pretending to be a saint.

In fact, Wu Guangyao sometimes thought that if he hadn't received nine years of compulsory education in his previous life, he might be no different from Li Chaoren, and everything was based on profit.

At the very least, they will change their nationality to facilitate their own business.

Over the years, politicians in London have invited him to become a British citizen every year and made many policy promises. Wu Guangyao is really tempted!

After all, if you become a British citizen and you are so rich, you can immediately acquire a large number of British industries, such as Rolls-Royce and Bentley in the automotive field, such as entering the oil industry.

It's a pity that Wu Guangyao couldn't pass the test in his heart!
However, my mixed-race sons are about to grow up, so let's do it in their name when the time comes!

For example, Wu Guangyao plans to let the eldest son of himself, Kaila and Huixiang be naturalized in the United States, and it will be much more convenient at that time.

Back then, the founder of the Rothschild family had five sons who ran businesses all over the world. Only in this way did the Rothschild family truly become a reality.
