Chapter 403

Washington, D.C., not far from the White House four blocks away, stands a 60 year old building that looks like a lattice. The overall exterior wall is yellow brown. Two flagpoles are placed horizontally above the main gate of the building, hanging two flags, one American flag, and the other is the district flag of Columbia during the civil war. This is the post group's Headquarters.

Today, the staff at the post headquarters clearly felt that the atmosphere was different. Vice president Catherine and a group of group management were already waiting for someone in the hall at about 9 o'clock.

The front desk lady stood upright with a smile on her face. When she was wondering, she saw a Cadillac wearing a ruler SUV driving to the square in front of the entrance through the glass door, followed by a black Mercedes Benz, followed by four SUVs.

"Here we are. Let's go." Catherine spoke to Jon Mitcham, editor in chief of Newsweek, and took the lead.

"Pa pa pa pa pa..."

After the sound of opening and closing the door, Andy, a tall and handsome man with a smile, walked out of the gate of the building, and Catherine, who was walking down the steps, greeted him, followed by a group of nearly 20 people.

"Hello, Miss Catherine..."

"Hello, Mr. Smith. Please come in..."

They exchanged greetings with each other, Andy nodded to Jon, and took Katherine and others to walk into the historic and famous newspaper group headquarters building.

There is no quarrel and noise in the meeting room, but the staff of both sides constantly flick the documents and brush them, while the leaders of both sides wait in silence with smiles on their faces.

The negotiation work in the early stage has already settled some conditions. What they are doing now is just to confirm the details and hand over some important documents. For the 115 million loan transferred by the post group, we didn't explore it tacitly. After all, the purchase price of $1 seems to be full of news, but on the other hand, it is also a shame for the post group.

Look at Donald Graham, the chairman of the post group sitting in the middle, his sister Larry Weymouth, and Leonard the younger, the editor in chief of the post. It can be seen that although the burden has been removed, the future of the Graham family has also opened up.

If they knew that the sale of Newsweek's assets, almost for nothing, was just the beginning for their family, and they didn't know how they would feel.

After receiving Li Xiaoying's confirmed nod, alvette quickly checked the documents just received on one side and handed them to Andy, "boss, no problem!"

Andy didn't go to pick up al's papers. His face, which was more handsome than the younger version of ginu, smiled in the sun. Looking at Donald Graham on the opposite side, he said, "Mr. Graham, we can start."

Donald Graham reached for his glasses and nodded in a mixed mood.

Take over the contract from Andy's group, hold the pen tip of Montblanc in his hand and pause for a moment on the contract. Finally, he sighed and signed his name.

Andy's eyes looked at each other deeply, and he signed his name on the contract in triplicate without hesitation.

"Thank you!"

"From today on, it's yours, young man!"

Andy and Donald Graham hold hands tightly. After loosening their hands, they exchange contracts. Andy rushes back and reaches out.

Today, Tori Black, a little assistant dressed in a light pink slim ol suit, hurriedly went up and handed a brand-new one dollar bill to the big devil. This piece of money was full of little stars in her eyes.

Donald Graham shakes his head and laughs. He reluctantly takes a dollar from Andy, who is very serious. He turns to the post group people behind him and raises a dollar in his hand, making them look ugly.

Everyone knows the loss of Newsweek and that it's a big burden. However, I know that when I have it, I may be tired of swearing, but at this moment, when I don't belong to them anymore, I feel very sad.

Andy doesn't care what Donald Graham thinks. If it wasn't for a joint press conference with the post group, he would have left.

In the honor exhibition room of the post group, Andy, introduced by Catherine, looks at an amazing picture. Many of the people in the picture are the people of the world.

The post pushed a president out of office; for nearly four decades, Kay Graham dominated Washington's social circle, entertaining presidential prime ministers at her Georgetown mansion and dining with kings and queens in the White House.

But glory only represents the past. The legend of Kay will be unprecedented in Washington, because the times are different.

Andy admired and respected all the successes and achievements Ms. Kay had achieved, especially with the strength of a newspaper, the president of hard water gate, and finally won the victory, which was unimaginable."Bang bang."

"Mr. Smith, vice president, the venue is ready, journalists from various media are in place, and the press conference can start..."

A staff member knocked on the door and came in, reporting to Andy and Catherine.

Catherine nodded and smiled at Andy. "Let's go, set up the stage, and wait for you."

Andy's face smiled calmly, "this is a win-win situation!"

In the conference hall, when all kinds of media in Washington received the notice, they were very curious. After all, as a leading media in Washington area, they did not report on their own and sent out media invitations, which is rare.

However, their keen professional intuition tells them that maybe there is really something important to burst out, after all, it is the Washington Post.

But with the people coming in from the door, their faces became clear, and the reporters were a little surprised.

Andy Smith, the youngest billionaire, owns a New York Observer weekly. Is this new publishing upstart going to join the post group or buy...

Wait, stop kidding. This is the Washington Post!

All kinds of suspicions make the reporters instinctively excited, without loud noise, they are desperately shooting photos, waiting for the unexpected big news.

"Thank you for your coming. The main content of today's press conference is... Just an hour ago, our post group and Mr. Andy Smith reached an agreement to buy Newsweek at a price of one dollar plus all the debts... That is to say

There was a great uproar in the audience. All the reporters in the press room were boiling. Who cares about the words behind Catherine, whose face is slightly ugly? Everyone understood.

My God! One dollar buys Newsweek, which has a history of more than 70 years? Are you kidding? It's not April Fool's day, is it? Is the Washington Post crazy? MS Kay will be...

All kinds of ideas appear in people's minds. Even if the scene becomes extremely chaotic, noisy and noisy, Andy Smith always sits in the middle with a confident and calm smile and looks at the excitement under the stage.

"Quiet! Keep quiet, everyone! Next, give the time to Mr. Andy Smith

All the people focused on the handsome face. They were in all kinds of complicated mood. They were 22 years old. They were too young.

"Hello, I'm Andy Smith! First of all, I would like to thank the post group for its trust and give me Newsweek, which has a long history. To be honest, at this moment, I am also very excited. After all, it is Newsweek, whose value I think every American knows very well......

Newsweek in its heyday was the core of the national dialogue in the United States. Its coverage was "highly controversial, liberal and often half ahead of the mainstream position of American public opinion".

You media friends and colleagues of Newsweek who I haven't met before should be aware that paper media has been challenged by the new era, and Newsweek is inevitably affected.
