"Come on, relax your legs slightly. Don't use too much force, otherwise it will feel nervous and scared. If you relax, it will naturally relax."

On the racecourse, Lin Yifei was wearing a blue and white riding outfit and a certain hat on her head. She was sitting nervously on a white Arabian horse about 2 years old. There were two jockeys beside her, carefully

Accompanying Lin Yifei to prevent unexpected situations, and at the same time constantly giving guidance and correcting Lin Yifei's movements.

Not far from Lin Yifei, Logan was also riding on a black Arabian horse that looked larger than Lin Yifei's horse under the guidance of two jockeys. His movements were also a little nervous.

and be careful.

"Don't worry, the jockeys here are very professional. In decades, there have never been any accidents here."

In the open-air leisure area not far outside the racecourse, under a white parasol, a woman who looked to be in her forties, with brown hair and wearing a red riding suit was sitting here to rest, looking at Kaos.

Looking worried, he couldn't help but smile and comfort him.

The woman looks older, but her wealthy life means that there are not many traces of time left on her body. Even if you don't look too closely, you might think that she is only in her early thirties.

At the same time, the elegance revealed in her behavior is something that ordinary women don't have.

"Thanks."

Kaos also understood what the lady in front of him said, but this did not eliminate his worry. Only by looking away could he stop being nervous because of worry.

"Haha, it doesn't matter. It doesn't seem to be helping you at all." Lynne Golden smiled and said again: "I don't know why you asked me to meet you?"

Kaos was not familiar with the woman in front of him. It could be said that this was the first time he met her. The reason why he made an appointment to meet her was because of the purchase of newspapers and media.

After an investigation by Mike Moritz, the situation of the New York Times was completely clear, but the difficulties were also specifically faced by Kaos.

The New York Times Group is a newspaper group with a history of almost 150 years. Since it was passed to the then newspaper owner’s son-in-law Salzberger in 1935, control of the company has been passed down to the Sulzberger family until now.

The person in charge now is Sulzberger Jr., cousin of Ms. Lynne Golden.

Like all family businesses, although the New York Times has used AB shares to keep control within the Sulzberger family. But with the development of the times, the family has developed step by step, and now it is the fifth generation.

After entering the company as an adult, there are no fewer than 20 people with equity inheritance rights.

This inevitably led to internal strife within the family over the control and inheritance of family assets. In the fourth generation, that is, Lynne Golden's generation, the strife was already very serious. Little Sulzberger was also at that time.

Just by a hair, he inherited control of the New York Times Group.

But this does not mean that other members of the family will obey little Sulzberger. Instead, they will turn into more hidden battles, not providing more help to their respective next generations, and making such internal fights in the family more serious.

Get more serious.

"The reason why I asked you to meet is because I recently acquired some shares in the New York Times, and I wanted to see you to see if I can do some cooperation."

Kaos reached out and took a document from Lin Zhiling beside him, and gently placed it in front of him.

This is the 20% B-share of the New York Times Group that Kaos acquired from Mike Moritz for almost US$250 million, although the B-share has ten times the voting rights in the New York Times Group.

But the effect of these stocks alone is not obvious. 70% of the B-shares of the New York Times Group are in the Sulzberger family's family trust fund. The voting rights of these stocks in Kaos's hands are not sufficient.

Naturally, it is impossible to seize control of the group.

But this does not mean that it is useless at all. At least when Kaos placed these shares in front of Lynn Golden, the other party's eyes lit up.

"Do you want it?"

Lynn had some guesses about her psychology, but she couldn't be completely sure.

"Google is vigorously developing its news sector, which requires a fair and not extreme newspaper like the New York Times Group, so I don't know if Ms. Lynn is interested in helping to contact the middle, whether it is cash or Google stock.

I am willing to pay a premium of 30% for replacement, and if we can reach a deal, I can give you three points as a reward."

Kaos stated his proposal and conditions very directly.

If Kaos proposed such a condition to little Sulzberger, then the other party would directly reject Kaos without thinking. However, in front of Lynn, the other party hesitated with such a condition.

It’s better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix. This saying is not unreasonable. In the group controlled by Sulzberger Jr., Lynne’s brothers and sisters are somewhat dependent on others, and their work and life will not be very smooth.

Although in name, all of them are dignitaries from upper-class families and rich people in society, in fact, they have lived on the high wages in the company over the years, and the specific share dividends have basically nothing to do with them.

At the same time, as the helm of the company, little Sulzberger is enjoying life in various ways. Although his salary is similar to that of Lynn and others, as the highest decision-maker in the company, he naturally has the privilege to spend some money away.

the company's books.

This is also the reason why the disputes between the two parties have become more and more serious.

Instead of having the company in the hands of Sulzberger Jr. and not being able to enjoy many of the benefits, it would be far better to sell the company to Kaos at a high price and get a large sum of money at once, or Google shares.

The feeling of completely controlling one's own wealth would definitely be more comfortable and enjoyable than it is now.

"But now Sulzberger Jr. is the manager of the family trust, and he will not agree to the sale or exchange of shares."

She felt a little greedy, but when Lynn thought about her situation, she spoke with some embarrassment.

"Haha, that's why I need your help to connect the middle and contact several other members of the Sulzberger family. As long as everyone agrees, then Sulzberger will be ousted and you will control the family trust.

Then the transaction between us can continue."

The reason why Sulzberger Jr. was able to control the family trust was because Lynne and other members were weaker. In addition, each other acted in their own way, and the discordant relationship was broken by Sulzberger Jr. one by one.

But when everyone agreed to trade or exchange shares and united for this purpose, when Sulzberger lost power, he also had no way to reverse the transaction and could only watch the New York Times Group escape from the hands of his family.
