After deciding to help Ellison achieve these three goals and get the chance to pursue Lydia, Lin Feng and Ellison immediately start to take action.
The first goal is to help the Hurst family defeat Pulitzer. Lin Feng and Ellison immediately use all their contacts and intelligence systems to collect relevant information. According to the summary of intelligence from both sides, the Pulitzers, like the hursts, are not in a very good condition. Although the former two families were all newspaper tycoons, with the death of the soul figures of the two families and the rise of new tycoons such as Murdoch, the two families can only be regarded as barely maintaining their status as newspaper tycoons, which is far from their heyday.
But Rao is so, it's not easy to help the Hurst family defeat Pulitzer. Both sides sell newspapers and want the other to fall, unless the other side breaks out a scandal and affects its image, and no readers will subscribe to it. It's not difficult for Lin Feng and Ellison to achieve this. As long as we continue to walk in the market, the Pulitzer family scandal, and send people to instigate the Hurst family to make the wrong choice at the critical moment, just like William Hurst's most absurd decision of supporting Germany in the "First World War", when William Hurst's decision directly led to the bankruptcy of the new york news.
Through these means, the market share of Pulitzer family newspaper industry can be weakened gradually, and finally it will be bankrupt because of its debt. This is a good way, especially in today's highly competitive media era, not to mention Lin Feng and Ellison, I'm afraid the Pulitzer family may make mistakes themselves. But it takes too long. It can be as short as three or five years, or as long as seven or eight years. At Ellison's age, if we wait another seven or eight years, the cauliflower will be cold.
Of course, Lydia said she would not date anyone until Allison gave up on her own. But even after seven or eight years, Lydia is just under 30 years old. She is very young. On the contrary, Ellison is already 70. Even if he can catch up with Lydia, I'm afraid he can only talk about love.
Therefore, it is necessary to make a quick decision.
"Lin, do you have any good idea?" Allison asked.
"Ellison, if you want to solve the Pulitzer family quickly, there is only one way to crack down on the Pulitzer company through the financial market. At present, the stock price of Pulitzer company is about $72, and its outstanding bank assets are as high as $306 million, and its debt ratio is as high as 18%, which is a very threatening number. As long as we snipe their shares in the financial market and force their shares to fall below $30, banks will press for debt. At that time, the Pulitzers would be in a hurry. You know, their soul, Jay Pulitzer, has just passed away, but now the family is in a mess because of fighting for the power. This is an opportunity Lin Feng's eyes twinkled with strange light.
Ellison's eyes are also sharp. Whoever stops him from pursuing love, he will defeat him. Like his business motto: I need more than success, everyone else must fail.
"By the way, Ellison, if you really want to conquer Lydia completely and let her not only give you a chance, but fall in love with you completely, I think we can do more than just defeat Pulitzer. At least let your father-in-law Austin have nothing to say. " Lin Feng's mouth curved slightly.
"What do you mean? Do you have any plans? " There was an indescribable light in Ellison's eyes. According to his understanding of Lin Feng, when Lin Feng's face appears such a smile, it usually means that Lin Feng has some disgusting ideas.
"Your future father-in-law..."
"Hey, can you stop talking about the future father-in-law all the time? How can I listen and feel awkward?" Ellison said gloomily.
Isn't it? Austin is a few years younger than Ellison. They have been friends for the past 20 years, and suddenly become his father-in-law, twice his seniority. For a while, Ellison really couldn't accept it.
"Well, well, not to mention it. But sooner or later it's your father-in-law. " Lin Feng mumbled, and Ellison naturally had a headache.
"The best way to make Austin completely accept your identity and make Lydia infatuated with you is to give Lydia Pulitzer company as your proposal gift!" Lin Feng said.
what? Give Lydia Pulitzer company as a proposal gift—— Ellison was surprised at first, but then he was very excited. If you really give Lydia Pulitzer, it's really the best proposal gift. Think about it. The two families fought in the press for a lifetime. At last, all the newspapers of Pulitzer company were annexed by the Hurst family! It's exciting to think about it. Ellison can imagine the light on the face of his old friend Austin.
"All right, that's it. But if we buy it, Pulitzer may not sell it. " Ellison asked hesitantly.
Although the Pulitzer family is not what it used to be, it is not a small role that is still being rubbed by others. If you know that you and Lin Feng sniped their shares and want to buy them, you can't sell them to yourself. At that time, it is uncertain that the Pulitzer family would rather sell their real estate to repay their debts and maintain the operation of Pulitzer. The total assets of all the real estate of the Pulitzer family are as high as 15 billion US dollars. If we want to fight, when will it be a rest.
"Ha ha, don't worry. I've thought about that for a long time. We can buy out another newspaper company. When we want to buy it, this newspaper company will fight us. I think Pulitzer will sell it. I'll give it to Lydia then! " Lin Feng said confidently.
Ellison clapped his hands and laughed.
"Not only that, I heard that the Pulitzer family had been in constant turmoil. Since Jay died, one of his granddaughters, lessel, was said to be plotting to take her father and some cousins to court, accusing them of trying to seize their legal inheritance rights and transferring $1 billion without permission. I think that's what we can use. Let the whole Pulitzer family into a mess, it's better to split up, then Austin will be more relaxed Ellison's eyes flashed a sharp light.
"Ha ha, that's good. It's also a way. In this way, we'll go forward with the bulls, leave the stock market to me, and you'll be the one to instigate the internal rebellion against them. " Lin Feng laughed.
Then Lin Feng and Ellison jointly put out 1 billion US dollars, and Lin Feng entrusted Soros to be responsible for sniping Pulitzer's shares. With a huge capital of 1 billion US dollars, Soros, a financial genius, and no cost sniper, Pulitzer's stock plummeted in just a few days. At the same time, all kinds of negative news are hanging in the world. One time, it is said that the Pulitzer family is in constant turmoil, fighting in the family for the position of chairman. Another time, it is claimed that some of Pulitzer's heirs are ready to sell the company and enjoy life.
All kinds of negative news have made the Pulitzer family dizzy. They don't understand why all of a sudden there will be so many negative news, and there will be people regardless of the cost of sniping their company stock. What happened to all this?
Originally, they also had the opportunity to fight back. After all, Pulitzer company, as a company with a history of more than 120 years, still has a good reputation and good image in the hearts of the majority of investors, but the Pulitzer family has been arguing about who will be the spokesman. After all, at this time, who stands out is the spokesperson of Pulitzer. Therefore, internal fighting is not good. In addition, at this time, lessel directly took his father Robert, cousins and half of his siblings to court. Half of the core members of the Pulitzer family were sued by him, which immediately became a global hot topic.
In the face of lessel's accusation, the entire Pulitzer family rioted. One after another, he angrily denounced lessel's shamelessness and ingratitude, especially his other father Robert, who rushed directly to lessel's crew to point out his father and scold his mother. As a result, the farce of the family members directly destroyed a new play of lessel as an actor, which also made lessel hate those relatives who had more assets.
As a result, naturally, the two sides were in a mess. At this time, who is going to take charge of Pulitzer. After all, Pulitzer's total assets are only $1.4 billion, which is the price before. Now, it is estimated that it will be about $800 million. But the entire Pulitzer family has another $15 billion in assets, which is easy to distinguish.
In this situation, Lin Feng and Ellison will not let go. Continue to walk the news of the internal strife of the Pulitzer family, continue to suppress regardless of cost. In the end, Pulitzer's stock was successfully suppressed to less than $30. At this time, Ellison made use of his power in the banking industry to urge the bank to ask Pulitzer for repayment of debts, resulting in a lower price of Pulitzer. Finally, a good newspaper company came to discuss the acquisition of Pulitzer, and offered a "high price" of $45 per share.
Many Pulitzer family members of Pulitzer agreed to sell Pulitzer to a company that is not very famous in the American press. The transaction price was $40 per share, totaling $1.02 billion. Its subordinate newspapers, such as the St. Louis distribution post and the Arizona Daily Star, naturally belong to the acquired newspaper company.
So far, a newspaper company with a history of more than 120 years has disappeared. But at this time, the whole Pulitzer company farce has not played, the lawsuit is still on. The whole city is watching, paying close attention to what this farce will eventually turn into.
Of course, at this time, it has nothing to do with Lin Feng and Ellison. Pulitzers, if you want to make trouble, just wait for them( It's not finished yet.
