Chapter 42： Forum Publishing Company

The next day, outside the ward of a garden hospital in LA, Yang Cheng frowned. While looking at the environment, he saw Li Xiuman's family. Compared with the previous two days, Li Xiuman was obviously thinner, and it seemed that he was worried about his wife's condition.

Yesterday, I finalized the cooperation between Yuanshan and Lotte with Yang Sen, and flew directly to Los Angeles, and drove to the hospital according to the address sent by Sunny early this morning.

There were no people in the corridor, except for Li Xiuman’s family gathered together, and even the medical staff did not see a few of them. With the dim light, it made Yang Cheng feel like being in a horror movie. What? Turning to wonder, "This Li Xiuman has hundreds of millions of dollars in net worth, no matter how bad he is? You can't look down on the illness, right?"

I felt puzzled right from the moment I got off the car. Even if he didn't know all the top medical schools in the United States, he should have heard about it. No matter what, he should cooperate with a famous university to establish a medical research institute, which can also prove the level of the hospital.

But what is the origin of this garden hospital? Is it a low-key cancer research center?

This is not impossible. Yang Cheng is not a medical student after all, and he has not done relevant investigations and studies. It is normal if he has not heard of it.

So confused, he deliberately didn't take the elevator and walked up all the way. If Hansen and Andrew weren't following him, he would like to turn around and leave immediately. After thinking about it, the talent was forced to pretend to be calm and walked up. There was a second during the period. Zhong, he almost thought it was Sunny deliberately pitting him into a haunted house to tease him.

There are only a few patients. After all, all major hospitals in the United States do nothing except emergency services, because in the United States, unless it is a serious illness that is about to die, ordinary people either go to a private doctor or go to a private clinic.

First, you can’t afford to spend time. You have to make appointments everywhere in the U.S. People’s attitude is okay. There is no reason to make you angry, and the items that need to be checked are separated in different institutions, and you can’t run within a few hours. Finish, unlike country Z, where doctors prescribe all kinds of orders, they can be checked by a trip upstairs and downstairs.

The second is the cost. Don’t go to the hospital without insurance in the United States. You can’t take care of yourself for the rest of your life. So whether you are going to the United States for studying or traveling, don’t forget to buy insurance. Don’t save a little money. Have a high fever, don't even want to go out without a thousand or eight hundred dollars.

The third is quack doctors, haha, some people think this is a joke. In fact, there are definitely no fewer quack doctors in the United States than in country Z. Of course, this quack doctor does not mean that they are not skilled enough to deliberately come out to harm people, but lack experience and rely too much on machines It is dead, and the human body is the most mysterious and complex structure. Many small problems cannot be detected by machines. At this time, doctors’ experience is needed.

Americans’ achievements in the conquering of major diseases and the success rate of difficult operations cannot be denied. They are indeed among the top and most powerful in the world. We can say those with diarrhea, colds and other minor diseases that cannot be detected by machines. According to the doctor in Country Z, it's more than a half.

Probably because of the large number of people in the Z country, there are more people who are sick. The last thing doctors lack is the opportunity to practice. When the doctor's clinical experience rises, many diseases can be judged at a glance, and then supplemented by instrumental testing. Can be diagnosed.

There is no harm if there is no comparison. Students who have experienced medical treatment abroad will think that domestic medical staff are angels.

Therefore, don’t always stare at the domestic doctor-patient relationship and complain about the expensive medical treatment. Most medical workers are still very cute. They do have a benevolent heart, especially emergency medical staff, but the environment is like this. There are so many black sheep that not only occupy the pit and do not shit, but they also break a pot of porridge like a mouse shit. I hope everyone can hold a tolerant heart and be considerate. It is not easy for anyone.

Of course, if you really encounter a black-hearted bastard, you can't be killed too much!

(Are there any medical workers among the book friends? If so, Xiaopang would like to pay high respects to you on behalf of himself! Hard work!)

. . . . . .

climbed up to the fifth floor ward until he saw Li Xiuman's family, and he was secretly relieved.

After thinking about it, he didn't walk over directly. The family member was seriously ill, and he was probably not in the mood to be polite to him. Instead, he flashed a sunny phone, and when she looked up, she waved at her.

Sunny on his face also waved to Yang Cheng, and then pulled Li Xiuman in the direction of Yang Cheng, probably saying that Yang Cheng was here.

Yang Cheng still has no plans to go, but nodded to Li Xiuman from a distance.

As Sunny walked over, Li Xiuman's family also discovered Yang Cheng's arrival, and they all showed curious eyes. Among them, two middle-aged ladies looked similar to Sunny. Are they her sister? Yang Cheng didn't have time to investigate Sunny's information, naturally she didn't know her family background.

"Oppa, come so early? Why not?" Sunny walked over to see Yang Cheng suddenly opened her hands for a hug. She was taken aback, then chuckled forward and generously rushed into Yang Cheng's arms.

strongly hugged the delicate body in his arms, expressing his encouragement, and after releasing it, he led Sunny to walk to the triage table, "I don't know your family, and I don't know what to say in the past."

After avoiding the Li family’s inquiring gaze, he stuck in his pocket and said with a slightly relaxed concern, "How is your aunt? Is it still not good?"

I didn't talk in detail in the text message yesterday. I only knew that the condition was not optimistic, and the time left was not long, but he didn't know the specific situation.

Now that he is here, Yang Cheng also wants to see if there is anything he can do to help.

Sunny privately is not as glamorous as on the stage, just a light makeup and simple dress, simple denim shorts and white T-shirt, just like the girl next door

"It's still the same, I wake up when I sleep, and I can only sustain life through drugs." Sunny sighed, with faint tears on her face, it seems that she hasn't cried less these days.

Yang Cheng didn't know what comforting words to say, no matter how much she said, it would only add to her grief.

The big hand pressed the top of Sunny’s head and gently held the hair. The peripheral light swept through the flickering lights not far away, and curiously said, "By the way, how did you choose this hospital? It is very good for treating tumors. Is it famous?"

Sunny couldn't keep up with Yang Cheng's jumping thinking. She stared at Yang Cheng without blinking for a few seconds before reacting, "I don't know, it seems that my aunt's private doctor belongs to this hospital."

Oh, and did not continue to ask, this is my own family affair, he can't control so much, "have you eaten? Do you want to have lunch together?"

Sunny hesitated for a moment, but shook her head and refused, "No, go home with my sisters. My family lives in Los Angeles. I see them only a few times a year. I take this opportunity to accompany them."

This reason is so powerful, Yang Cheng will naturally not be difficult for others, "Well, then I will go first, you take care of yourself."

"Well, rest assured, I will send you off."

The two walked towards the elevator. When Yang Cheng pressed the down button, she suddenly turned her head and said, "I almost forgot, I can help contact the UCLA Medical Center, which is ranked among the top five in the United States for a long time. One of the hospitals has outstanding achievements in oncology and excellent treatment and service environment. Go back to discuss with your uncle and call me directly if necessary. Don’t be polite."

At this time, the elevator arrived and waited for Yang Cheng to step forward. Sunny moved forward and hugged Yang Cheng and buried her head on his chest. She naturally felt Yang Cheng's feelings, and said dumbly, "oppa, thank you You, I will talk to Uncle."

When the elevator door was closed, Yang Cheng didn't know how many times she sighed. This girl is completely different from the novel. However, he still doesn't show a trace of love, but feels that it is a good choice to treat her as a confidant. , It’s very comfortable to get along with, and not so tired. Maybe it’s related to the gold worshipers who have been in contact before?

. . . . . .

Yang Cheng came to Los Angeles this time not just to visit Li Xiuman’s wife. Yesterday, when Yuanshan Capital was talking to Janssen, Yang Cheng at the tip of his ear happened to hear Alina coming in to report about JP Morgan’s door-to-door sale of Forum Publishing Company. thing.

Tribune Publishing Company was spun off from Tribune Company in 2013. It is headquartered in Chicago, Illinois and has 7,165 full-time employees. It is a diversified news media company, mainly engaged in daily newspapers and related website operations.

Its newspapers include: Los Angeles Times, Chicago Tribune, SunSentinel in Florida, TheMorningCall in Pennsylvania, etc. It is the third largest newspaper in the United States after Kennett Newspapers (Company) and McClatchy Newspapers (TheCompany) Quotient.

In addition, Tribune also operates about 60 related websites and mobile phone applications, providing users with various international, domestic and local news.

Among them, the Los Angeles Times, which Yang Cheng is most interested in, is the third largest newspaper in the United States after the New York Times and the HSD Post. In its heyday, the circulation remained at 1 to 1.5 million copies, and the advertising volume was even greater. The best in the United States.

However, since 2006, the print advertising revenue of major U.S. newspaper groups has been declining sharply. For many years, major U.S. newspapers have relied heavily on real estate companies, automakers, and other corporate users for advertising. The financial crisis in 2015 made the American newspaper printing business that had been hit even worse.

Not only the Los Angeles Times, but many newspaper giants, including the two giants New York Times and HSD Post, have fallen into debt crisis. The Los Angeles Times and its parent company, Forum Publishing Company, are the most serious.

In 2008, the Forum Publishing Company had debts of nearly 13 billion U.S. dollars and total assets of 7.6 billion U.S. dollars. However, its own cash flow was not enough to pay the interest of nearly 1 billion U.S. dollars due to be repaid, and it defaulted on the debt of 500 million U.S. dollars due to be repaid. The predicament of insolvency.

The United States real estate agent Samuel Zell, who bought the Forum Publishing Company for US$8.3 billion in 2007, has not survived the economic winter. Under the international financial tsunami, he could not escape the bad luck.

On December 8, 2008, the Forum Publishing Company, with a history of 161 years, could not bear the burden of huge debts and filed for bankruptcy protection in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Wilmington, Delaware, becoming the first large-scale newspaper to apply for bankruptcy protection. group.

Afterwards, Forum Publishing Company was managed by a number of financial services companies including JP Morgan, as well as senior creditors. After 4 years, the company’s newspaper business was transformed to the Internet, and it also sold off the Chicago Cubs baseball team and its home stadium. High-quality assets are used for debt repayment.

At the end of 2012, the Forum Publishing Company officially announced that it had officially stepped out of bankruptcy protection, and ended the 4-year bankruptcy reorganization.

Today, the Forum Publishing Company, which JP Morgan sells to Yuanshan Capital, is a simple newspaper company that has eliminated 23 TV stations and other businesses. It is also asking for 3.5 billion US dollars.

If it weren't for Yang Cheng to stop him, Yang Sen would have almost let him go off the court and drove people away.

Although Yang Sen also wants the right to speak from the Forum Publishing Company, fools know the importance of controlling public opinion. The last time Megan slandered Yang Orange made Yang Sen deeply aware that he did not have a mouthpiece to speak at important moments. What an aggrieved thing.

But he has no confidence in bringing profit to the forum company. You ask Yang Sen to buy and sell land, or even speculate in buildings, and play bad assets. Then he is an ancestor, as one of the world's largest private equity and real estate asset management companies. The Blackstone Group has repeatedly tried to acquire Yuanshan Capital and promised that Yang Sen will serve as the vice chairman and chief executive officer of the new group's board of directors. However, after being rejected many times, he has not given up his mind. Yang Sen's ability is evident.

He is not presumptuous, he has a specialization in the surgical industry, and asks a doctor with a scalpel to cook and cut the meat, but he is all playing with a knife, but can the doctor handle a kitchen knife?

Don't underestimate this newspaper giant in the sunset. It has experienced several large-scale layoffs before and after. It is still a large newspaper group with more than 6,000 employees. If you can't find a new profit direction, UU read www.uukanshu. The annual salary of com can drag the newspaper company that has just emerged from the gloom into the quagmire again, and there is almost no possibility of turning over again.

But Yang Sen can’t help but it doesn’t mean that Yang Cheng can’t. He knows better than anyone how a news website can easily gain the favor of advertisers, and he also understands how website users are willing to accept advertising bombardment willingly.

After telling Yang Sen of his ideas, he unexpectedly did not receive full support. The reason is simple. Yang Sen is not optimistic about Yang Cheng's ability to manage a newspaper giant. Fortunately, he did not speak to death, but only told Yang Cheng. Made a bet.

He will be responsible for holding down the people of JP Morgan and not allowing the other party to add competitors to Yang Orange. If Yang Orange can get the approval of Forum Publishing Company’s management and persuade them to accept Yuanshan’s acquisition, he will contribute money to help Yang Orange in his own name. Acquisition; if not, then stop thinking about acquisitions and invest honestly to make money. There is still Delta Air Lines unresolved, and you can't do things with one hammer and one hammer.

In fact, can Yang Sen not suffer any losses, and if it succeeds, the Yang family has now had weapons to attack outside, has its own position on the battlefield of public opinion, and its status will be even higher.

It doesn’t matter if it fails, at least Yang Cheng has gotten the opportunity to practice experience. Everyone who can serve as the top level of the forum publishing company is an elite. If you want this group of people to surrender to a young man, if you don’t have any dry goods, you should wash and sleep early .

Yang Sen's thoughts Yang Cheng doesn't know, he can guess without guessing, it's meaningless, nothing is more convincing than getting results directly.

Just knowing that Eddie Harveystein, the current CEO of Forum Publishing Company, was on business in Los Angeles, he sent an invitation to him through Yuanshan Capital, asking him to go fishing at sea, and preparing to launch his "Flicker" Dafa at sea. . . . . .
