Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

"This is the first time I have heard of this kind of thing. You must know that these five newspapers have their own backgrounds. It is not easy for them to unite, even if they sit together, but in order to deal with it,

You and they are really willing to work together, which is really incredible."

In Yoichi Sakai's impression, these five newspapers are not usually considered to be rivals, but each has its own way of survival, especially when their backends may still be in a competitive relationship.

But because one Lin Daoqiu could actually bring these five newspapers together to discuss how to deal with him, this news would definitely cause quite a stir in Neon if it were to break out.

"They think too highly of me. I don't know whether I should thank them or feel a headache. But no matter what, it is a sure thing that "Readers Times" will set up a branch in Neon. No matter how many people want to contact me,

Even if we become enemies, this matter will not change."

Although he had to face the challenges of five newspapers at the same time, Lin Daoqiu did not back down or give up. Anyway, he never thought about becoming a fat man in Neon in one go. At worst, he would take his time and take it upon himself.

The funds are very abundant and I can play with them slowly. Lin Daoqiu is not anxious at all.

"Mr. Lin, if we can cooperate with one or two of these five companies, the pressure faced by "Readers Times" will be greatly reduced."

Sakai Yoichi suggested that Lin Daoqiu had better find a way to cooperate with several of these five newspapers. In that case, their power to deal with Lin Daoqiu would be weakened a lot, and with the help of local newspapers, the "Readers"

The expansion of The Times in Neon will be of great help.

There is a saying that a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake, let alone five local snakes. Moreover, the newspaper industry is not Lin Daoqiu's main business. It is no wonder that Yoichi Sakai made such a suggestion.

"What do you mean by cooperation?"

"Such as exchanging shares."

Yoichi Sakai actually proposed to let Lin Daoqiu exchange shares of "Readers Times" with the other party, which made Lin Daoqiu immediately opposed the idea.

In Lin Daoqiu's opinion, those five newspapers together are not as important to him as "Readers Times", and he does not intend to regard Neon as the most important expansion market. After the financial crisis is over, Neon will be the most important in the world.

Its status will begin to decline, which is why Lin Daoqiu set up the Asian headquarters of "Reader Times" in Hong Kong from the beginning.

After all, although Xiangjiang experienced varying degrees of twists and turns before and after the handover in later generations, Xiangjiang still maintained prosperity and stability before Lin Daoqiu crossed over. No place in Asia can compare with Xiangjiang.

"The Morgan consortium has bought 30% of the shares of "Reader Times". If I exchange the shares of "Reader Times" with other newspapers at this time, I am worried that this may be dangerous, so my controlling proportion must exceed 50%.

Otherwise, it would be like laying a hidden danger for myself."

Lin Daoqiu directly rejected Sakai Yoichi's proposal, because in his opinion, if he followed Sakai Yoichi's idea, he would easily fall into an unknown crisis.

Therefore, Lin Daoqiu had already thought about it from the beginning. If he runs a newspaper, he must become an absolute majority shareholder, and his shares must not be less than 60%.

In addition, "Readers Times" and New Oriental Pictures were sold together at the beginning, and because of Tang En Morgan's chaos, the price was doubled, exceeding tens of billions.

If Lin Daoqiu wanted to sell his shares in Readers Times now, what price would be appropriate? Even Lin Daoqiu couldn't determine this.

"Mr. Lin is right. Your concern is very necessary. My method still seems immature. Your advice is right."

Lin Daoqiu had already spoken very clearly, and Sakai Yoichi also understood clearly that he mistook Lin Daoqiu as the kind of person who must maximize the benefits of everything.

But what Lin Daoqiu wants is absolute safety. As for making money, he generally puts it second.

Moreover, if a newspaper wants to make money, it may be difficult to achieve this goal in just a few years. In the first few years alone, it will need to invest a large amount of money in publicity. It may take at least ten years to turn losses into profits.

time is possible.

Although cooperating with Neon's newspaper is a shortcut, Lin Daoqiu feels that taking shortcuts is sometimes not the best decision for him.

"Actually, you are right. The safest way is indeed to cooperate with them, but I don't think they will cooperate with me sincerely even if they accept this proposal. After all, they all have their own ideas and will not give me any advice at that time.

I am already very grateful for my troubles, and there is no way I can expect them to provide me with any help.

Lin Daoqiu's words were very straightforward. He had doubts about the five newspapers since he learned that they were going to deal with him. Under such circumstances, it was impossible for the two parties to reach any cooperation.

But on the third day after this conversation, a special guest came to MAG Company to find Yoichi Sakai and asked to meet Lin Daoqiu.

"Why did Mr. Manshima find me here? Aren't we going to talk about this year's advertising until October? Why did you come here in person?"

Sakai Yoichi was very surprised by Mitsushima Keihei's visit, because the editor-in-chief of the Mainichi Shimbun rarely appeared in everyone's sight.

"Mr. Sakai, the first purpose of my visit today is to thank MAG Company for its support of the "Daily News" over the years, and the second thing I came to see Mr. Lin is."

Yoichi Sakai didn't care what priority the other party placed on visiting Lin Daoqiu, but in his opinion, Mitsushima Keihei had only one purpose for coming to MAG today, and that was to meet Lin Daoqiu.

He has already guessed the other party's intention, but Yoichi Sakai will not stop Manshima Kehei from meeting Lin Daoqiu, because he feels that Lin Daoqiu can actually cooperate with the "Mainichi Shimbun", because this is the same person he had previously worked with Lin Daoqiu

The proposed method was only rejected by Lin Daoqiu at that time.

Now that Mitsushima Keihei has come to visit, Yoichi Sakai doesn't believe that the other person is just idle and wants to see Lin Daoqiu and have a chat with him.

"I'm sorry that Mr. Lin is not here. If you want to find Mr. Lin, I can help you contact him, but I can't guarantee whether Mr. Lin will be free to see you."
