Rebirth of the Strongest Tycoon

Reagan's eyes narrowed, and a few thoughts flashed in his heart.

He looked at Xia Yu with surprised eyes, and said with emotion, "Mr. Xia, you are very modest. If the Washington Star is not a big company, then there are tens of thousands of newspapers in the United States, and not many are qualified!"

Xia Yu smiled and said casually: "It may be considered in the whole country, but it doesn't count in my opinion. The Washington Star is only my newspaper with the smallest sales, and it is still in a loss. Now Reform is underway, if the operation is not good, who knows if it will fail?"

The smallest family!

As for whether to lose money or not, this is not in Reagan's consideration.

Xia Yu pretended to reveal information unintentionally, and Reagan noticed it again, and he kept guessing Xia Yu's identity in his mind.

The person in front of him doesn't look like he's lying, so he's definitely a media tycoon.

In this special year, the importance of the power of the media has jumped several notches.

If you want to compete for the top spot, you must have a media that speaks for him, promotes his political views, canvassing votes for him, and at the same time resisting the dirty water of his competitors.

And Reagan is not someone who hasn't seen the world. Ordinary media bosses don't have so many bodyguards like Xia Yu. Therefore, it can be inferred that Xia Yu has other big industries besides a few newspapers. .

"Looks like I'm lucky today!"

Reagan thought to himself, and decided to explore Xia Yu's bottom to see if he could seize this opportunity.

As for the exchange of interests that will exist later, he does not consider it at all.

Because he is in this system, he has long been aware of its essence. Power and money transactions are eternal.

If he can succeed, he will naturally give back to the forces behind him. If he fails in the election, even if he picks up a vice president in the end, he has no real power, and naturally there is no such thing as a return.

At this time, he has not yet won the support of the Republican Party, so there is not much power behind him. As for the resources in the Republican Party, every point is very precious, and it will only be given to the presidential candidate determined by the party. Those who haven't passed it can only mobilize their own strength to win the support of a certain part of the party or the society to make themselves stand out, and then gain the full support of the Republican Party.

Therefore, he cherishes every opportunity now, and will try his best to strive for it, accumulating information for himself little by little.

Thinking of this, Regan's thoughts about fishing were completely gone, and he continued to chat with Xia Yu.

Aware of Reagan's attitude, Xia Yu was not in a hurry, and his attitude became more and more casual, as if he was really just here for recreational fishing.

"Mr. Xia, are you Chinese-American?"

"Yes."

Xia Yu replied calmly.

That's right, Xia Yu is indeed an American citizen. This is what he had already completed when he planned his trip to the United States last year.

He wants to create an international conglomerate, and the United States is absolutely inescapable, so he needs American citizenship.

As for his original British nationality, the same exists.

That is to say, he is a dual national, and this is no problem, because dual nationality is a method that is generally accepted by many countries in the world. There are more than 70 countries in the world that recognize or accept dual nationality, including the United States and the United Kingdom. . (It's true, I didn't scribble it)

Reagan must be American, so he can continue to talk, otherwise, even if he gets Xia Yu's support, it will become a bomb and a weak point for competitors to attack.

He continued: "Oh, is it from California? In the United States, there are the most Chinese there, and I am most familiar with some local Chinese leaders."

Hearing what Regan said, Xia Yu looked at Regan, frowned slightly, and looked at him up and down.

With a smile on his face, Reagan let Xia Yu look at it generously.

He said that on purpose just now, to see if Xia Yu could recognize who he was. If he did, it would be easier to communicate.

Reagan's plan was exactly what Xia Yu wanted.

Both wanted to know each other, the only difference was that Reagan was active and Xia Yu was active and passive.

After a few seconds, Xia Yu asked hesitantly, "Mr. Regan, the more I look at you, the more I think you look familiar. I seem to have seen you somewhere. Have you been in California for a long time?"

Reagan nodded with a smile, and stated, "Yes, I spent a few years in Hollywood before, made dozens of movies, and then entered the political world."

Xia Yu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly, he pretended to be surprised and said, "I remembered, you are a well-known figure in California, you were born as an actor, and then became the governor of California, am I right?"

Reagan smiled, nodded and said, "If there is no one else named Ronald Wilson Reagan, I think you should be talking about me."

Xia Yu shrugged apologetically and explained, "I'm sorry, Mr. Governor, I'm not a Californian, and I've been to San Francisco a few times, so I recognize you now."

Reagan shook his head indifferently, and then laughed at himself: "Oh no, Mr. Xia, you don't need to apologize, I no longer serve as governor of California after 1975, and I have long since stopped making movies, after so many years. , there should be very few people who know me."

Xia Yu smiled, then turned the conversation and asked, "By the way, Mr. Reagan, during your stay in California, you have made great contributions to California's economy and people's livelihood. This year just happens to be an election year. With your talent, why don't you go? running for election?"

Reagan showed regret, smiled bitterly and said: "I have thought about it, but I am not confident. I have participated in two elections before, but both failed in the Republican presidential nomination. I am also old and ready to try again. , this time is still in preparation."

"It's a pity that the preparation is not enough, the campaign team and support force are not enough..."

After speaking, Reagan looked at Xia Yu and asked, "Mr. Xia, do you support the Democratic Party or the Republican Party?"

Xia Yu put down his fishing rod, thought about it, and said, "I think Jimmy Carter is very incompetent, and he has made a mess of the American economy. Now the domestic inflation in the United States is very serious, which is very bad for economic development. From my point of view, I am temporarily lost to the Democratic Party. Confidence, if someone in the Republican Party can work on the economy, I don't think I will skimp on my support."

After speaking, Xia Yu looked at Reagan with great interest and asked: "Mr. Reagan, you are the first person I contacted this year who is interested in running, and you happen to be a Republican. It may be arranged by God that we can meet here today. , can I hear your thoughts?"

Reagan just waited for Xia Yu's words, he smiled and promised: "Of course there is no problem, this is my honor."

Next, the chat between the two became more in-depth, Xia Yu asked from time to time, and Reagan seized the opportunity to explain his ideas and express his views on the current US economy.

In the process, their relationship grew closer.

They are both adults. For the sake of profit, they don't care about their skin, and it's not a problem to play on the scene. Therefore, the two are talking and laughing, and outsiders may think that they are old friends who haven't seen them for many years.

Time passed, and the sun gradually set.

Reagan invited Xia Yu to dinner.

In this entertainment area, there are supporting restaurants and hotels, and Reagan directly booked a hotel for a week here.

In the next two days, Xia Yu did not leave, and Reagan naturally would not leave, so he seized the opportunity to communicate with Xia Yu.

As he became more and more familiar, he also got to know Xia Yu better, knowing that in addition to the "Washington Star", Xia Yu also owned "New York Daily News" and "Houston Chronicle".

In addition, the arcade machines placed in the entertainment area are produced by his company, and the Rolls-Royce cars opened by Xia Yu are also produced by his company.

Of course, the few words of banks, securities companies, insurance companies, etc. mentioned in Xia Yu's speech made Reagan secretly excited and his attitude became more and more enthusiastic.

There is a financial group, and it is also involved in the fields of automobile, electronics, and media. Xia Yu's strength is definitely not small. Although he called someone at night to inquire about the news, he has not responded, but he has made up his mind to get Xia Yu's support as much as possible. .

Not to mention, if those three newspapers supported him, his hard work in the past few days would have paid off!

On the third day of coming to Qilan Lake, Xia Yu felt that the heat was almost over, and finally decided to express his stance.

"Mr. Reagan, you are a very thoughtful person. I think you are qualified to sit in that position. I decided to invest in you!"

In a garden cafe, Xia Yu put down his cup, looked at Regan with a smile on his face, and said slowly.

Reagan was refreshed, and his smile couldn't help but become obvious, and thanked: "Mr. Xia, thank you for your recognition, I am deeply honored."

Xia Yu nodded and accepted Reagan's thanks calmly.

The icing on the cake is worse than giving charcoal in the snow!

Since Reagan is still before his fortune, a little investment now will yield ten points of benefit. Of course, he plans to spend a lot of money to win more favors from Reagan.

And he is not worried about Reagan's denial afterwards, because this is not a simple denial that can be revealed. In the process of this campaign, competitors will know Reagan's background and the forces he supports. Reagan Naturally will bring his color.

In this process, Xia Yu will also become Reagan's close partner. He will also be very clear about Reagan's various details or handles. Reagan will never actively expose the chain of interests between them, so it is impossible to follow up with Reagan. Xia Yu turned his face, it wasn't worth it at all.

Xia Yu restrained his smile and said solemnly, "Mr. Regan, I am a very determined person. Since I have decided to support you, I will do my best. I also believe that you are an honest and affectionate person."

Hearing this, Reagan was overjoyed and nodded quickly and said, "Of course, integrity is the foundation of everything I do, and I have always cherished and attached great importance to my friends. Now everything has not been successful, but I can guarantee that I will Will not disappoint you."

Xia Yu smiled and said immediately, "I remember your words in my heart."

"Your campaign team needs you to choose and build, but I will do my best to provide you with the funds you need for your campaign, and give you the greatest support in public opinion!"

"Of course, as for the economy, I, including my subordinates, have a lot of research. If you need help in this area, I think I can help."

"As for the difficulties you may encounter in the future, you can come to me, as long as I can do it, no problem!"

Xia Yu's promise was not too big, and it also made Reagan feel full of sincerity. He smiled and nodded, thanking him again and again: "Mr. Xia, thank you for your support, thank you!"

After everything was revealed, the relationship between Xia Yu and Reagan became more and more intimate. Reagan did not hide it, and directly explained his current situation to Xia Yu, and then said what aspects needed Xia Yu's support.

In terms of funding, it was Reagan's shortcoming. Xia Yu directly promised the first 10 million US dollars in funds, and guaranteed that the money would be donated in the name of many companies, and would not leave a handle.

Xia Yu's generosity shocked Reagan, and he intuitively felt Xia Yu's strength.

Of course, he also felt Xia Yu's sincerity.

Then came other support, which Xia Yu recorded.

This talk is one day.

In the end, Xia Yu left several contact information and addresses for Reagan.

After everything was in order, Xia Yu said goodbye to Reagan and returned to New York.

After returning to New York, just when he learned that Yan Wenhan had returned from Houston, Xia Yu decided to meet him and order him some things before going to California.

New York, the US branch of Jiuding Newspaper Company, the boss's office.

Xia Yu asked, "Wenhan, how are the three newspapers?"

Yan Wenhan thought about it and said, "The New York Daily News and the Houston Chronicle are about the same. The two newspapers have been arranged to connect with the Jiuding News Agency. If the resources can be reasonably digested, it should be able to achieve certain results."

"As for the "Washington Star", I have re-promoted and appointed some elites, and all the laid-off personnel have been placed in Jiuding News Agency, and there has been no trouble. Now I have made appropriate adjustments to the newspaper according to your instructions, It will take a while to see the effect.”

Xia Yu nodded slightly and said, "Well, that's good, let time test the results."

He then asked: "When will the Jiuding News Agency's satellite be launched?"

Although the cost of launching satellites is high, if Jiuding News Agency wants to stand out, it must have satellites. Only satellites can deliver news information at the fastest speed.

Doing news, speed is the most important!

Yan Wenhan said immediately: "It's very soon, the order has been placed for two months, and it is expected to be launched around March 20."

Xia Yu smiled, nodded and said, "That's good, Jiuding News Agency will continue to expand, and strive to have our offices in every city in the United States!"

"In addition to these things, you can set up a company and start a new newspaper. The newspaper will be called "USA Today". This is a planning book I made. You should read it carefully and implement it according to the above."

With that said, Xia Yu took out a plan and handed it to Yan Wenhan.

The planning book for the "USA Today" newspaper was made by Xia Yu in combination with the "USA Today" newspaper, which has not yet been published, but has been the number one selling newspaper in later generations.

If nothing else, the newspaper will be founded by the Gannett Group two years later, and in less than two years, the circulation will exceed 2 million copies, ranking third in the United States, and in 1986 In 2010, it jumped to the top of all newspapers in the United States, and has been sitting in the position of dominance for decades.

The reason why USA Today can rise so fast is not only because it is the first national daily newspaper in the United States, but also because it has created a precedent for newspapers to present news with a large number of information-rich photos and charts, officially proclaiming "reading pictures" With the advent of "era", it has the title of "TV in newspapers".

In addition, Xia Yu's plan also pointed out the purpose of "USA Today" - "accurate but not pessimistic, detailed and not passive reporting of all news."

It can be said that Xia Yu has combined the advantages of his previous life "USA Today" developed for decades. I believe that as long as it can be produced perfectly, the "USA Today" newspaper will create the most legendary rise in the history of American newspapers. the road.

This newspaper is what Xia Yu has high hopes for, the strongest foundation for the American branch of Jiuding Newspaper Company!

Yan Wenhan solemnly accepted the plan and assured him: "Chairman, don't worry, I will do my best to make this newspaper."

"Um!"

"By the way, this is the person I elected to support the US presidential campaign. His name is Ronald Wilson Reagan. He will definitely contact you in the future. As long as his demands are not excessive, you will cooperate with him fully!"

With that said, Xia Yu took out Reagan's business card to Yan Wenhan.

Yan Wenhan's heart froze, and he accepted it solemnly. He was shocked by Chairman Xia Yu's generosity, and his blood gradually boiled.

He never thought that he would have the opportunity to intervene in the presidential campaign.

In his impression, the President of the United States is the most powerful person in the world, but now, the chairman of the board has made a bet at such a time that he will be a witness and participant. .

"If it really succeeds, what kind of harvest will it be..."

A seemingly dreamy thought flashed through Yan Wenhan's mind.

Seeing Yan Wenhan in a trance, Xia Yu smiled understandingly.

After that, chatting with Yan Wenhan about work again, Xia Yu left, ready to return to pack his bags and set off for San Francisco, California.

There, he will officially begin to build his career map in the United States.
