Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

The meeting ended quickly. The five newspapers all disagreed. The only thing they reached consensus on was to find out how much support the Morgan consortium had for Lin Daoqiu.

After all, the Morgan Consortium is an insurmountable mountain for them. No one wants to cause trouble for themselves, especially this North American super consortium is even more troublesome.

"If An Sheng really chooses to go head-to-head with Lin Daoqiu, it would be best if he can win then, but if he loses then, it will be equivalent to helping Lin Daoqiu."

On the way back, I rode in the same car with Mitsushima Keihei, the editor-in-chief of the Mainichi Shimbun, who was close to Toshio Fujiyama. The worried look on his face showed that he was very concerned about this matter.

He was not worried that An Sheng Pingzhang would be able to defeat Lin Daoqiu, but that he was worried that this competition would actually help "Readers Times" improve its strength in Neon.

If that were the case, it would be a big disaster for other newspapers.

With the Morgan consortium standing behind Lin Daoqiu, it would be difficult for them to make small moves. As long as the other party said a word, the people above would remain neutral even if they did not help them.

Under this situation, remaining neutral would mean leaning towards Lin Daoqiu, which was the last thing Manshima Jinghei wanted to see.

"It's not just a day or two that An Sheng doesn't deal with us. If it weren't for Lin Daoqiu's incident this time, it would be very difficult to invite him to come out for a meeting..."

"It is nothing more than wishful thinking to expect him to listen to our advice. I advise you to save your efforts, lest you end up wasting your breath."

Toshio Fujiyama shook his head. He didn't think An Shengping Heizhang could listen to their advice.

If it weren't for the Morgan consortium being involved, An Shengpingzhang probably wouldn't have reached any consensus with them and would have taken action against the Readers' Times.

"Not to mention An Sheng, I do have an immature idea that I would like to discuss with you."

At this time, Mitsushima Keihei suddenly lowered his voice, looking a little mysterious, and I don't know what solution he thought of.

Toshio Fujiyama nodded, and then he was ready to hear what Mitsushima Keihei had to say.

"If there is nothing we can do at that time, we might as well follow the example of the Morgan consortium and invest in Readers' Times."

After Toshio Fujiyama heard what the other party said, he immediately opened his eyes wide and looked at Keihei Mitsushima with a shocked expression.

If An Shengping's previous approach was a bit risky, Mitsushima Kagehei's idea was simply to lure a wolf into the house.

"Mandao-kun, you have already accepted Lin Daoqiu's benefits, so you came to say these words to me? Do you think I would be stupid enough to lure a wolf into the house?"

Taking a stake in "Readers Times" is simply an unbelievable thing for Toshiyama Toshio. This is not resisting Lin Daoqiu, but helping him to strengthen "Readers Times".

If the other party didn't take Lin Daoqiu's money to say this, then Toshio Fujiyama really doubted whether Mitsushima Keihei was in trouble or drank too much last night to say such things.

"Don't get excited first. Listen to me analyze it with you and you will understand why I said this."

If he hadn't known the other party for many years, Toshio Fujiyama would not have listened to his explanation at all.

Holding back his anger, Toshio Fujiyama nodded. He wanted to hear what nonsense Mitsushima Keihei could say.

"By cooperating with Lin Daoqiu and controlling him in our hands, Readers Times will naturally not be able to shake things up. After all, the Morgan consortium accounts for 30% of the shares, which is not small at all..."

"We don't want much, just 20% of the shares, which will be shared by several newspapers. Even though there are so many newspapers participating in the shares, this will invisibly weaken the influence of "Readers Times".

What can Reader Times, which ranks behind the five major newspapers, do at that time?"

Manshima Jinghei's idea is very simple. Instead of fighting with Lin Daoqiu, it is better to control the "Readers Times" from the beginning.

Moreover, the advantage of becoming a shareholder is that you can know the trends and development plans of "Readers Times" at any time, which is undoubtedly equivalent to letting Lin Daoqiu Ming play with them.

"Lin Daoqiu is not that stupid. He will definitely reject this proposal when he hears it."

Toshio Fujiyama shook his head. Although Manshima Keihei's method sounded pretty good, Lin Daoqiu couldn't be a fool and fell into his trap just for some money.

This kind of thing can be guessed at a glance. After all, Lin Daoqiu is not a young man. He is a world-renowned movie tycoon. How could someone who has worked hard in Hong Kong and Hollywood do this?

There is no such knowledge.

"It's okay if he refuses, because then we can have a real fight with him, and avoid being caught by the Morgan consortium as a bully."

Toshio Fujiyama shook his head repeatedly. He felt that Mitsushima Keihei's method was still unreliable, and basically the probability of success could be said to be very low.

But now there is no way to properly solve this matter. This is really a headache for Toshio Fujiyama.

"Let's wait until we meet with the Morgan consortium first. Let's first explore their attitude to determine our future actions, so as not to have to start all over again when we are ready."

After hearing this, Mitsushima Keihei couldn't say anything more. After all, Toshio Fujiyama's method was the safest. If he wanted to bypass the Morgan Consortium and Lin Daoqiu, they wouldn't even dare to do it.

…………

"What? The five major newspapers have united to deal with me? Real or fake? When did I have the strength to challenge the five major newspapers in Neon? I don't even know."

Although the top executives of these five newspapers conspired together to discuss how to deal with Lin Daoqiu's "Reader's Times", the secret was spread out not long after. As for who spread the news, that is another matter.

.

"This story can't be false. Readers Times didn't even recruit staff, and it didn't even release the news. The five major newspapers acted so quickly after learning about the news. This is contrary to what I knew before.

Are they really the same people?"

Yoichi Sakai couldn't help but laugh bitterly. He didn't expect that the top management of Neon Newspaper would move so quickly. This was not like the old stubborn people he knew.

"If this matter is true, then Readers Times will be in a very difficult situation from the beginning. These people really like to cause trouble for me."

It's not that Lin Daoqiu is afraid of challenges, it's that the "Readers Times" hasn't even established a branch in Neon yet. It's no exaggeration to say that when it's still waiting for food, it faces five powerful enemies at once. This is simply bullying.

Lin Daoqiu really didn't know when he had such strong strength in the newspaper industry and could scare these five newspapers that had been operating in Neon for hundreds of years to this extent.
