I Want To Be a Rich Man on Hong Kong Island

City of Angels.

Wu Guangyao brought Kaila to the new headquarters of Star TV, and announced that Star TV entered a new era;

Today's Star Media is already a large media group;

In the UK, Star Media has a weekly newspaper "News of the World", a daily newspaper "The Sun", as well as a dozen newspapers and magazines such as the celebrity entertainment magazine "hello" and the entertainment fashion magazine "ok";

Star Media has several newspapers and magazines in the United States, such as the evening newspaper "Washington Star" and the magazine "Entertainment Weekly";

And just this year, Wu Guangyao decided to move the headquarters of Star Media to Los Angeles, laying the foundation for his son Wu Xianlei to become a media tycoon;

Wu Xianlei can also be regarded as up-to-date, living up to Wu Guangyao's expectations and sustenance;

It took a year to create an entertainment weekly and bring the sales of this weekly to 600,000 copies;

It took a year, from the vice president and head of the US branch of Star Media, to the chairman of the board of directors of Star Media.

"Father, mother!" Wu Xianlei greeted Wu Guangyao and his wife at the door of the company.

"Well, Mr. Miller, have they arrived yet?" Wu Guangyao asked directly.

Miller has always been the chairman of the board of directors of Star Media, and also a puppet supported by Wu Guangyao;

Now that he is asked to give way to his 23-year-old son, Wu Guangyao is really worried that Miller will resist.

"Chairman Miller and the directors have arrived in the conference room!"

Although Wu Xianlei knew that today, he would become the major shareholder and chairman of the board of directors of Star Media;

However, Miller and other directors are still given enough respect.

Of course, respect is mutual, the Wu family owns 70% of the shares of Star Media, who would dare not respect the Wu family!

"Let's go!"

Wu Guangyao took the lead and walked towards the meeting room, followed by Keira and Wu Xianlei.

In the meeting room, Miller and several British directors all came to Los Angeles to participate in the meeting;

After a simple hello,

The meeting officially begins.

Keira first said: "Mr. Miller, fellow directors, do you have any objections to Star Media's valuation of US$200 million?"

Because we communicated beforehand, everyone nodded in agreement.

The chairman of the board of directors, Miller, also knows that today is the time for him to end the chairmanship of the board of directors of Star TV.

Keira continued: "Since everyone has no objection, then vice president Wu Xianshuo will contribute 100 million US dollars, and Star Media will conduct targeted financing; do you have any objection to this point?"

Miller said calmly: "May I ask what Star Media used to raise $100 million?"

Kaila looked at Wu Guangyao, who nodded slightly.

"I am dissatisfied with everyone. Since everyone is curious, I will disclose it to you in advance; Star Media intends to acquire the "New York Post" in the United States. This is a newspaper with a history of 173 years and its current sales volume is about 600,000 copies; The financial situation is not good, with an estimated loss of US$30 million to US$50 million a year."

Miller and the directors were not pessimistic because of the annual loss of the New York Post;

"New York Post" is an old newspaper in the United States, and its popularity is enough to rank among the top 20 in the United States. If it were not for losses, Star Media would not have a chance.

Miller hesitated for a moment and asked, "Ms. Keira, Mr. Wu, may I know the future development plan of Star Media?"

As soon as Miller's words came out, several directors concentrated and looked at Wu Guangyao and Kaila;

In fact, everyone knows that Star Media is able to have what it is today, thanks to Wu Guangyao and Kaila;

The so-called board of directors is just a puppet of the two!

This time, Wu Guangyao answered everyone: "Everyone, my son Wu Xianlei is already an American citizen! I believe everyone should be able to guess it. Star Media will never be satisfied with only paper media; so, please rest assured, once A small boat, sooner or later, will become a giant ship."

Although they didn't say it clearly, everyone is a person who has matured and matured. How could they not know that Star Media is interested in American TV.

For a while, everyone was excited;

Although everyone's shares will continue to be diluted, Star Media will become stronger and stronger;

This family has the ability and funds, and now even the son's nationality has been changed;

Everyone felt in their hearts that Star Media had a bright future ahead.

Miller said with a smile: "In this case, we have no doubts. The vice president himself owns 10% of the shares, and now he has raised another 100 million U.S. dollars and has become a major shareholder; therefore, I suggest that Mr. Wu Xianlei, of course, the director of Star Media Chairman of the bureau; although Mr. Wu Xianlei is young, he has already proved himself with his ability, I believe everyone will see it."

On the road, Wu Guangyao praised in his heart!

Although Miller has served as the chairman of the board of directors of STAR for a long time, many of the management of STAR are members of the Wu family;

In addition, Miller's shares are only 15% (before financing), so, really only know the current affairs!

It is a matter of his son's future, and Keira immediately echoed: "Mr. Miller took the initiative to let the virtuous, which is admirable! I suggest that Mr. Miller serve as the executive director of the board of directors and continue to participate in the operation of Star Media; especially in the UK, the time is right. We’re going to get into TV too.”

After some friendly negotiations, everyone finally settled on a new management and ownership structure.

Wu Xianlei, Chairman of the Board and President;

Miller, Executive Director of the Board and Head of Europe;

Kayla, Managing Director;

Wu Guangyao, independent director;

The new ownership structure of Star Media is: Wu Xianlei 40%, Metro Group 23.4%, Guangyao Family Office 16.6%, Miller 10%, and the remaining directors 10%.

Wu Xianlei took the chair of the board of directors on the spot. He was a little nervous, but he quickly adjusted.

"Guests, our main job these days is to take down the New York Post, and I will pay a visit to Mrs. Dolly Schief in person! Mr. Miller, I hope you will return to England to prepare a team of reporters; if we take The "New York Post" is bound to be reformed immediately, adding a lot of explosive news and some sharp topics, so that we can truly own the "New York Post"..."

Wu Guangyao nodded inwardly, proud of his son!

Of course, the so-called breaking news and sharp topics are just nice words;

Star Media, like News Corporation, also likes to use colored news and violent news.

No way, readers like to read!

Where there is a market, there is demand, as long as it is not illegal!

.........

After getting off work, the family of three returned to the Beverly Hills villa in Los Angeles.

This villa is a gift from Wu Guangyao to his son. It is worth 8 million U.S. dollars. In another 30 years, it will probably be multiplied by ten times!

The family chatted while enjoying the dinner prepared by the servants.

Wu Guangyao said dotingly: "Xianlei, since you have decided to take the media path, your father will definitely support you to become the most successful media tycoon in the world."

The son himself is excellent, so naturally Wu Guangyao doesn't need to act as a strict father;

Besides, Wu Guangyao's seven women are all in the same group when educating their children, which is strict;

Wu Guangyao can probably understand their feelings, that is, they hope that their son can take over their careers, after all, they are just a woman.

Wu Xianlei put down the chopsticks in his hand, and said seriously: "Father, don't worry, I will definitely not let you and mother down!"

Wu Xianlei thought in his heart that he chose the path of media, not forced by his father;

Now that we have to do it, we must do our best!

Wu Guangyao also put down his chopsticks, and Kaila saw oil stains on her man's lips, so she picked up a napkin and wiped it for Wu Guangyao;

Wu Xianlei is used to this scene, precisely because although his parents are not married, they are in a good relationship;

Therefore, I and my younger siblings did not feel that there was anything missing from an early age!

Wu Guangyao gave Kaila a thankful look, and then said to his son: "I have planned for you three steps:

The first step is newspapers and magazines all over Europe and the United States. The current task is the New York Post in the United States and The Times in the United Kingdom;

The second step is the acquisition of Disney in the United States;

The third step is to use Disney to enter the US TV industry. I am more optimistic about abc, or at the same time set up its own TV network.

Of course, this is just a general plan, and what your mother and I can do is to provide you with sufficient funds;

If you are not capable enough, we will not backfire. "

Even if Kaila is worth billions of dollars, she can't help but lament how ambitious her man is.

Founded in 1801, the New York Post has, for a century and a half, claimed to be "one of the most faithful records of daily life in the world."

Mrs. Dolly Schiff has been running the "New York Post" for decades. However, although the newspaper sells more than 600,000 copies per issue, it loses as much as $50 million a year.

Therefore, the "New York Post" naturally became the prey!

The British "Times" was established in 1785. In 1966, the Astor family sold "The Times" to Roy Thomson, a large publisher from Canada; it was also in this year , "The Times" began to publish news reports on the first page of the newspaper (before that, the first page of "The Times" generally published small luxury advertisements, targeting the wealthy class in Britain), at this time the "Times" The Times is overwhelmed.

Thomson was originally a Canadian. He went to England in the 1950s and founded Thomson Group, which is the largest newspaper company in Britain after World War II. It still owns more than 50 local daily newspapers and more than 50 magazines. Although the Times was run by such a large newspaper group, it failed to save the Times.

"The Times" business is not ideal!

As for Disney and abc TV, leave it alone!

The next day, Wu Guangyao and Kaila took time to meet Wu Xianlei's girlfriend;

The two couples are very satisfied with this American girl. It has been a year or two since Wu Xianlei got married.

 …

Wu Xianlei followed a female employee in business attire, walking in the aisle;

From time to time, the female staff turned around and smiled back, with a very good attitude!

Wu Xianlei just smiled politely, he didn't feel anything else, and he was already used to it;

Ever since he was sensible, Wu Xianlei knew that he liked girls very much;

Thinking about it, he inherited the advantages of both parents!

However, compared to exuding his own charm, Wu Xianlei cares more about his career and gaining the approval of others;

Moreover, I already have a girlfriend now, and I plan to propose to my girlfriend after a while.

A man and a woman came to a door, and the female staff knocked on the door;

"Boss, Mr. Keira is here!"

Wu Xianlei said to the grandmother-level woman sitting: "Mrs. Dolly Shicheff, hello! I am Keira Xianlei, President of Star Media, who made an appointment with you!"

The seventy-year-old Mrs. Dolly Schiff looked at the young Wu Xianlei and asked curiously: "According to my assistant's inquiry, Star Media is a British media company whose largest shareholder is the Metro Group; you are so young, Star You shouldn’t be the founder of the media, right?”

Wu Xianlei nodded and said, "Mrs. Dolly Shicheff! Today, the headquarters of Star Media has been registered in the United States; the founder of Star Media is indeed my mother; the founder of Metro Group is also my mother— — Ms. Kayla!"

Wu Xianlei kept his father's advice in mind and played down his father's presence in Star Media;

Mrs. Dolly Schiff suddenly realized, no wonder she wanted to buy the New York Post, because she had such strength!

Mrs. Dolly Shichfe has some affection for Wu Xianlei, because she also has three children;

However, it is precisely because I have three children that I decided not to sell the "New York Post" and pass this asset on to my children!

Mrs. Dolly Schiff said gently: "Looking at your age, you are much younger than my youngest son, but now you can stand alone. It seems that your mother, Ms. Keira, must be very good at education! "

Wu Xianlei said with a smile: "Thank you Mrs. Dolly Shicheff for your compliment!"

Mrs. Dolly Schief changed her voice and said, "But I don't plan to sell the New York Post, and I plan to pass it on to my children, just like the woman Keira passed on Star Media to you. It's the best gift for a mother!"

Wu Xianlei was taken aback for a moment, and then quickly began to think about countermeasures, how to persuade Mrs. Dolly Shicheff.

"Mrs. Dolly Schiff, as far as I know, the New York Post is not doing well, and it's even losing money!"

"It seems that you have done some homework! However, the "New York Post" has experienced 173 years of operation, and there have been many losses during the period; but every time it can rely on its own influence and strength to tide over the difficulties, And come back to life!"

While listening to Mrs. Dolly Shicheff, Wu Xianlei's mind was running fast;

I remember that my father called me a few days ago and told me some useful news.

"Mrs. Dolly Schiff, in fact, your children may not be able to run the "New York Post" for 170 years;

First of all, you are seventy years old and you are still running this newspaper, which means that your children are not very interested in this newspaper;

Second, as far as I know, the new US tax laws are coming and it will be harder for your kids to keep the paper;

Finally, please allow me to promote myself. Most of Star Media’s newspapers came from acquisitions; before these newspapers were acquired, they all had poor experience; after being in the hands of Star Media, these newspapers immediately came back to life. "

After listening to Wu Xianlei's analysis, Mrs. Dolly Schiff immediately became nervous;

"New tax law?"

"Yes, you can ask your lawyer. The details of the new tax law in the United States are indeed not conducive to your son inheriting the loss-making "New York Post". Don't worry, I will not deceive you!"

Wu Xianlei was not in a hurry to let Mrs. Dolly Shicheff make a decision, but started chatting with Mrs. Dolly Schiff;

Unexpectedly, this small talk, but also learned a key news;

That is the Australian media tycoon Rupert Murdoch, who is also chasing the New York Post;

Mrs. Dolly Schiff naturally disagreed, after all, she wanted to pass it on to her son!

However, Wu Xianlei has now informed Mrs. Dolly Schief that the new US tax law may not be good for her son to inherit the "New York Post" (the inheritance tax is very high, and the newspaper is losing money.);

Then, both Wu Xianlei and Murdoch have a chance!

Thinking of this, Wu Xianlei decided not only to ensure the price advantage, but also to play the family card;

So, Wu Xianlei chatted happily with Mrs. Dolly Shicheff!
