American Fortune Life

"Boss, McClatchy Publishing Group was founded in 1857. It is the second largest newspaper group in the United States, with a total daily circulation of 3.3 million copies of its 32 daily newspapers. Until the 1990s, McClatchy Publishing Group continued to expand , Mergers and acquisitions of local newspapers.

In June 2006, McClatchy Company annexed the Knight Ridd Newspaper Group, which had been the top newspaper industry in the United States in the 1970s, by means of "snake swallowing an elephant", but this merger failed completely. . .

In fact, since 2005, the share price of McClatchy Newspaper Group has been falling from a high of more than 70 US dollars to about 3 US dollars at present. "

Located outside the "Miami Herald" newspaper building in Key Biscayne, Miami, among the convoys parked beside the road, the subordinate in charge of the acquisition negotiations quickly introduced the situation beside Andy.

And Andy looked at the newspaper building outside the car window, narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at the surrounding golden location with invincible sea view with great interest.

"McClatchy Newspaper Company has announced several large-scale layoffs in less than a year, with a total of more than 4,000 job cuts, and the layoff ratio has exceeded one-third..."

"How is the real estate market in Miami right now?"

Andy's lack of interest in McCulling's situation was, for the acquired party in this acquisition, a concentrated response to the declining trend of the newspaper industry. At the same time, the McClatchy Group, which appeared in a win-win situation, also seemed to point out a way for the troubled newspaper industry.

However, the so-called win-win for Andy, the real situation is that he won the other party twice. The purchase price of 260 million US dollars made this newspaper with a 14-acre sea view building and a 105-year history Being in his pocket is almost equivalent to getting a hundred-year-old newspaper for nothing.

"The current real estate market in Miami is very bad, both land prices and housing prices are very low..."

"Really?" Andy touched his chin, pondered for a while, and said to the driver, "Turn around!"

"Good boss."

Andy looked at the land conditions surrounding the Miami Herald building, and he couldn't help becoming interested. He knew better than anyone else that after the financial crisis and the United States successfully dumped the world, the domestic economy ushered in a period of rapid recovery. Not only The financial economy is improving, and even real estate has blown a big bubble again, and land in prime locations has soared to several times, ten times the current price.

Andy will not engage in real estate. This kind of business cycle is too long, and it really doesn't attract him much, but this does not prevent him from hoarding land when the real estate is at its lowest point. In his think tank, there is a real estate group dedicated to All the major cities have found him prime locations to hoard land. In California alone, he has hoarded more than a dozen pieces of land with beautiful scenery, reaching an area of ​​more than a thousand acres.

In order to welcome the Celestial Dynasty and the expansion of rich local real estate companies around the world, Andy really spared no effort to prepare a "super gift package" and wait for them to come to the door. At that time, he only needs to wrap a napkin, pick up a knife and fork, and put on a bright smile Just kill it!

"After the acquisition is completed tomorrow morning, let the real estate team start the real estate acquisition around the newspaper building. I want this area!"

Andy pointed at the newspaper building outside the car window and drew a circle in the air. The subordinates beside him immediately understood the meaning of the big boss. Originally, in this acquisition negotiation, this building was worth more than the newspaper itself. , This is also the confidence that the other party will not sell below 260 million yuan. Even if the real estate bubble bursts, the land in a prime location like Miami cannot fall to the price of cabbage.

Looks like this group of reporters had to move!

House, who was in charge of the acquisition negotiations, sighed in his heart. According to the boss's desire, he would definitely cash out the land in this area at a suitable price.

Against the background of rapid changes in the media ecological environment, the hurricane of the economic crisis swept across the prosperous territory of the traditional newspaper industry, leaving devastated areas. Newspaper companies face continuous decline in performance,

In the case of a sharp decline in advertising revenue, the big boss still dares to go against the trend. Don't think that he is confused, or has some media feelings as the outside world touts.

The Big Boss knows the plight of the paper media better than anyone else, but it's just because the newspapers he bought have enough assets to allow him to cash out his capital, and the credibility and influence of these newspapers are also valued by the Big Boss, but are there any? How important it is, this is really only the big boss himself knows.

It was also in the next few years that Andy sold the newspaper building and the surrounding real estate aggressively, cashing out crazily, making all the media dumbfounded and complaining that the building was more valuable than the newspaper office. Only then did the outside world understand the strategic vision of this "business genius" and give him the nickname 'Smith News Agency Real Estate Supermarket', of course, this is a later story.

Andy doesn't care about the envy of the outside world. As his wealth accumulates more and more, he understands an important investment philosophy, that is, long-term investment in the middle class, and the reason why the rich will become richer is that That's because their investments can be seen quickly or can be easily cashed out.

Fontainebleau Miami Beach.

Wearing a black gauze loose dress, the skirt just exceeds the tun circumference, highlighting a pair of wheat-colored slender Adriana Lima with long tui, flaming red lips, wearing a pair of big triangle sunglasses, and holding a The black satchel walked out of the room.

"You want to go out?"

In the corridor of the hotel, Lima happened to meet Alexander and Du Chen who were walking towards him. Hearing Alexander's question, Lima nodded with a smile and said, "I have an appointment for dinner with my friends."

After the three chatted briefly, Lima led the bodyguards to the elevator, while Alexander and Du Chen looked at each other and smiled meaningfully. Regarding the scandal between Adriana Lima and Andy Smith They don't believe that it's just a gossip. After all, everyone earns about the same amount of money. They own supercars and yachts, and they are accompanied by two female bodyguards. This is not a luxury that Victoria's Secret angels like them can easily enjoy. Taste.

It's just that everyone is tacitly aware of it. Of course, it is impossible to say that they are not envious. Only supermodels like them know best. Once they step off the runway, how to deal with this good skin is the most important thing. !

Being able to PK into the circle of supermodels has already stood on the stage of the first echelon of life to a certain extent. How to find a new world before old age and fading, YOUWUs have their own tricks, and some people have embarked on the line of acting based on their personality Some people shine in the mall by virtue of their financial business, some eventually marry into a wealthy family, and of course, some become short-lived fireworks, and some go further and further wrong. . .

Ding!

The elevator door opened, and Miranda Kerr, who was wearing a long fuchsia nightgown and only a bikini underneath, happened to meet Lima. The two just smiled politely and did not even communicate.

It's not because Lima discovered something, but because Miranda Kerr's popularity in Victoria's Secret is not very good. Anyway, Lima doesn't like her very much, and the sweet smile on her face is always so fake, a proper scheming Bitch.

Well, Lima admits that, in fact, Victoria's Secret is full of scheming bitches. . .

The elevator door closed, and the sweet smile on Miranda Kerr's face dissipated. The beautiful eyes on the doll's face narrowed slightly, and she looked back at the elevator, with a sneer on her lips. Naturally, she also received a text message from Andy Smith, knowing that he Coming to Miami, seeing Lima leaving, of course she guessed that this bitch was going to deliver goods to her door!

However, thinking about the fact that Adriana Lima invited everyone to have a party on her yacht before, the fire of jealousy in her heart could not help but rise. She is so pampered.

With a gloomy expression and gritted silver teeth, Miranda Kerr returned to her room, took off her nightgown, threw away the bikini she took off, and walked into the bathroom, turned on the shower to rinse the sea water off her body, Looking at his delicate body in the mirror, his eyes flickered, thinking about how to capture Andy Smith.
