Legend of Xiangjiang Tycoon

Chapter 68: British newspaper survey

   Waiting for Zhao Hezhuo to leave the room, Zhong Chuhong asked: "Brother Wen, you really bought $150 million in gold futures."

Although Zhong Chuhong and Li Zhiwen came to London together, as soon as Zhao Hezhuo and others came to Li Zhiwen's room, she left, knowing that they had a job to talk about, but this time Zhao Hezhuo came over and she wanted to leave, but Li Zhiwen grabbed her hand and refused to let her leave, so she confessed her fate and stayed in the room.

"Yeah, I bought so much." Li Zhiwen did not tell her that she had used fifty times leverage, otherwise she would have to frighten her. The reason why she was not allowed to leave the room was to let her know something and know that she was treating her. Of mind.

"150 million U.S. dollars, how much does that cost." Zhong Chuhong was a little surprised when he got Li Zhiwen's affirmation. Before she knew that Li Zhiwen was rich and had three companies, but she didn't expect him to have so much money. Zhong Chuhong thought Li Zhiwen had a few million Hong Kong dollars at most. As a result, Li Zhiwen has 150 million U.S. dollars, which is as much as 700 million Hong Kong dollars.

   "No matter how much money, it's not yours." Li Zhiwen pinched Zhong Chuhong's Qiong nose and said.

   "Brother Wen, I didn't stay with you for money." Zhong Chuhong said hurriedly.

"I know what kind of person you are, don't worry, I just like you." Li Zhiwen said nonchalantly. Even if Zhong Chuhong was a money talker, Li Zhiwen didn't care. He was born again not to make money for future generations. Yes, what I have to do is to wake up to the power of the world, drunk and lie down on the knees of a beauty, even if the flood is overwhelming after my death, what happened to a woman spending some money, earning money by myself is not just for enjoying, besides, Zhong Chuhong is not a person who is greedy for money, he is right. What she understands cannot be understood anymore.

   "You know it," Zhong Chuhong said, making up his mind not to accept Li Zhiwen's kindness.

   After Li Zhiwen talked to Zhong Chuhong, he moved his gaze to the stack of paper in his hand and looked at it carefully.

This is an investigation report of a British newspaper. Li Zhiwen started as a newspaper in Hong Kong, but the current radiation coverage of Kirin News is only Hong Kong and Southeast Asia, and the radiation capabilities of Japan and South Korea are also very weak, let alone developed countries such as Europe and the United States. NS.

   So he can only adopt mergers and acquisitions to expand his radiation to Europe and expand his right to speak.

   And Li Zhiwen comes from the British colony of Hong Kong. It is definitely easier to enter the UK first than to enter other European and American countries. It is much easier to enter the UK and then plan for developed countries in Europe and the United States. This is why we have this business survey report.

   From the beginning, Li Zhiwen first introduced the high-end British national newspapers, mainly including The Times, The Daily Telegraph, The Guardian, The Financial Times, and The Observer. The national popular newspapers include: "Daily Express", "Sun", "Daily Mirror", "Daily Mail" and so on.

   "The Times" was born in 1785, founded by John Walter, and has a history of 195 years.

   "The Times" is considered to be the leading major newspaper in the UK, and is known as the "faithful recorder of British society". "The Times" played an important role in the issues of domestic politics and international relations in the UK.

  ......

   "The Times" went through several rounds, from the Walter family to the North Rock family, to the Astor family, and then transferred to the current Roy Thompson.

   Roy Thompson is a Canadian. In the 1950s, he broke into the UK and founded the largest newspaper company in the UK. There are more than 50 local daily newspapers. It was acquired from the Astor family in 1966, but the Times has been unable to make ends meet.

   This seems to be a good acquisition target, but the report says that Roy Thompson recently spent £800,000 on property to make up for the Times deficit.

Li Zhiwen remembers that in 1981, Murdoch of News Corporation bought The Times for 12 million pounds. He thought that there should be something that did not get the attention of Li Zhiwen in his previous life. Since Roy Thompson just spent the family property, I don’t think it is now. "The Times" can be acquired. The "Times" drew a cross in Li Zhiwen's heart, so let's continue to investigate further. This acquisition will not target The Times.

Li Zhiwen then looked down. The Daily Telegraph, the most influential national newspaper in the UK, was founded in 1855 and has a daily circulation of about 1.5 million copies nationwide. It focuses on reporting international news and its readers are mainly In the middle class, most of the paper’s shares are owned by Canadian Black.

"The Guardian" is a national comprehensive content daily. It is collectively known as the three major British newspapers with the "Times" and "Daily Telegraph." Name, the headquarters moved to London in 1964.

   The newspaper focuses on reporting international news and is good at publishing commentary and analytical feature articles. Its readers are mainly politicians, white-collar workers and intellectuals. Political views are left in the center. However, the Guardian belongs to the Scotto Trust and does not allow trading.

The “Financial Times” mainly reports business and financial news, and lists daily stock and financial commodity prices in detail. The newspaper also has branches in London, Frankfurt, New York, Paris, Los Angeles, Madrid, Hong Kong and other places, and works on local current affairs. First-hand report. "Financial Times" is generally divided into two major stacks. The first stack mainly reports current affairs news around the world, and the second stack reports detailed business and financial news around the world. The Saturday edition of the "Financial Times" has special pages for culture, art, and events.

   "Financial Times" belongs to Pearson Group and it is difficult to acquire.

   But the "Financial Times" holds 50% of the equity of the "Economist" group, which is one of the world's four major financial magazines.

   As long as Li Zhiwen acquires the "Financial Times", he can control the "Economist" group in disguise, so he can also try.

"The Observer" is the earliest Sunday newspaper to publish, with a circulation of 700,000 points. Most readers are university professors, school students and general intellectuals. The newspaper is a comprehensive political literature and art newspaper, focusing on political, economic and cultural aspects. Comment. It has close relations with the government and political party leaders, so the news is relatively well-informed. In 1976, it was acquired by American Richfield Atlantic Company.

   "Daily Express" was founded in 1900, the article is short and capable, easy to understand, the founder is Sir Beaverbrook. The readership is a mainstream social group dominated by industry, economics and financial professionals. They include entrepreneurs, economists, government officials, and entrepreneurs who are or will be engaged in economic work.

   "The Sun" is the nation's highest-selling newspaper, with the middle and lower-level readers as readers. It was acquired by Rupert Murdoch in 1969. The newspaper was also converted into a tabloid newspaper when Murdoch acquired it. After the transformation, "The Sun" added a lot of popular content.

   It seems that Murdoch, a world media tycoon, has already set up in the UK, and he has to hurry up, Li Zhiwen thought, but the "Sun" doesn't need to think about it.

"Daily Mirror" is the world’s first tabloid. Founded in 1903, its founder, Harmsworth, has short articles, sensationalism, and uses a lot of pictures. It is a staunch supporter of the Labour Party and a true possession of the United Kingdom. Tabloids of left-wing politics. In 1951, his nephew Cecil King took control of the "Daily Mirror", and in 1958 bought the "hybrid publishing company to form a media group, known as the "Mirror Group".

   "Daily Mail" was founded by Lord Beiyan in 1896 ~www.readwn.com~ circulation of 1.2 million copies, readers are middle-class, biased towards women.

   Lord Beiyan founded the first newspaper group in the UK. At his peak, he had "Daily Mail", "Daily Mirror", "Times", "Observer" and so on. After Lord North Rock’s death, the North Rock newspaper group was presided over by his brother Sir Rothermere, but the Times was transferred to the Astor family. The Daily Mirror was separated in 1931, and the newspaper group was later called United Newspaper Company.

   These newspapers above are all major national newspapers in the UK, with sales ranging from hundreds of thousands of copies to millions of copies.

In this world, the louder you speak, the more people are heard, and the more respected you will be. Therefore, the right to speak is extremely important. You are not even qualified to participate. Why should others divide the cake? Give you.

   So Li Zhiwen’s goal this time is to acquire some newspapers, increase his voice in the UK, and make politicians and capitalists pay attention to him.

   As long as you have a certain right to speak, your words will be valued, and the more likely you will be to adopt your ideas.

   Hong Kong is now a British colony. Since Murdoch, an Australian, can come to the UK to buy newspapers, why can't I be a British citizen?

After reading the newspaper’s business investigation report, Li Zhiwen decided to cast the net more widely and fish more. The Daily Mirror and the Daily Mail both carry out acquisition inquiries. Of course, the Times and the Financial Times are only inquiries, and the main energy is placed on other newspapers.

   As long as one or two newspapers can be acquired by oneself, then oneself will have the right to speak in the British society, and when the time comes, doing some things by oneself will also be valued.
