American Fortune Life

Chapter 1396: Uncrowned King

After telling Alzweiler about Suzbek's affairs, Andy hung up the phone, picked up a paper on the table, his mouth slightly tilted, and a slightly smile on his face.

"I'm really looking forward to it, you can take out the money to buy it back in 10 years, haha ​​..."

Andy's playfulness is not targeted. The content of the hand piece is exactly the "New York Times" as of the end of 2008, the Times Company has detailed information on long-term debt of $ 1.1 billion.

The Times Company has suspended the payment of dividends in order to retain funds. Although it has recently received a $ 250 million capital injection from Mexican billionaire Carlos, it has only increased its repayment of debts due in 2009 and 3 in 2010. The possibility of a batch of bonds due in a month.

Andy really doesn't know. The New York Times, which has begun to decline, has faced losses year after year. How will the debts be repaid and the money will be used to buy back the headquarters building?

Maybe they could sell him the "New York Times" to Andy Smith!

Haha

There was a playful smile on Andy's face, with a burst of wild spirit in the laughter.

"The three major newspapers in the United States, the Los Angeles Times, the Washington Post, and the New York Times, hum, all will fall into my hands!"

If his ideas come true, it is hard to imagine how far the public opinion power he has swelled.

Among the most powerful people in the world?

Who controls the news?

Perhaps, only the uncrowned king can be the most appropriate, as the adjective!

Pound

The knock on the door brought back Andy, who was caught in the imagination, to reality. His plan for this uncrowned king didn't tell anyone, because it was a thing that many people would think is very scary.

Freedom of the press? freedom of speech? Maybe it will become the first thing many people think of. Will Andy Smith use public opinion to engage in a news monopoly?

Although it has the Internet as a shield, it may still be a very difficult thing for some people to accept!

"Come in!"

The little assistant pushed the door and came in and said, "Boss, Mr. Jon Mitcham is here."

"Please come in." Andy nodded.

The little assistant nodded slightly, turned and walked out of the office, and soon Jon came in.

"Good morning, boss."

"Good morning, sit down, tell Tori what to drink." Andy narrowed his eyes, a helpless expression on his face, sighed in his heart, and reached out to signal.

"Coffee, thank you." Jon Mitcham smiled to the little hot assistant who was outlined by a white ol dress.

Watching the back of the little assistant leaving, Andy leaned lazily on the back of the boss's chair, and looked at him with a look of embarrassment and laughter, revealing a hint of embarrassment and smirk, Jon Mitcham said, "To be honest, as long as I receive your few Editors, if you meet with me personally, I will feel scalp! You will shirk your responsibility one by one and throw all the pressure on me!

Damn, seeing your expression now, it turns out that someone is going to be unlucky again! Let me tell you some good news first, let me be happy! "

"Cough ..." Jon also felt a little embarrassed and touched his nose, and gently coughed to conceal his embarrassment. However, the information received last night is definitely a big scandal. It is impossible for him to keep secret. It was sent, but the person involved was a bit difficult, and he had to seek a decision with the boss.

"This is the gift of our worship of the Black Bull, and we made $ 3 million in one breath ..."

Jon Mitcham took out a grey folder from his briefcase and handed it to the big boss, saying with a happy smile on his face.

"Oh?" Andy took the folder curiously, opened it and looked at it. After reading it, he shook his head and smirked: "Hehe, it seems likely that Newsweek will turn a profit this year."

"The main reason is that the election of Black Ox is very significant. We want to leave this historical moment as a commemoration, so that we can make a lot of money. Other newspapers have not made less, but they may not have made so much. . "Jon Mitcham explained with a smile.

Andy nodded with a smile. It turned out that the election of Okunou made history and became the first African-American president in the history of the United States. Many people rushed to buy newspapers and newspapers in order to remember this historical moment, November 5. "News Weekly" is a special feature of Okui Niu. It was very popular and not only was sold out, but also printed three times in succession, and an additional 700,000 copies were sold.

As soon as Jon Mitcham saw such a blast, he met directly after the discussion, and he would definitely hit the iron while he was still hot. As well as a special feature of Okui Niu ’s election. By relying solely on the upsurge of the Austrian and Black Bulls, Newsweek made more than 3 million U.S. dollars, which is definitely a very timely income for reducing losses.

"Oh, I didn't expect him to be an accidental **** of wealth." Andy laughed in a happy mood. No matter how much, as long as he made money, he was happy. For him now, millions and hundreds of millions are gone. What a big difference, hey, there is too much money, and it is very depressing, sometimes you can only ignore the numbers and enjoy the thrill of profit!

"Mr. Mitcham, your coffee."

"Thank you, please."

Andy said to the little assistant who was smiling and said rudely to Jon: "Tory, I have something important to talk to the editor Jon, don't let us be disturbed."

"Understood, boss."

After the little assistant turned away and took the door of the office, Andy waved to stop Jon from talking about the big event, rolled his eyes and said, "Taste the Blue Mountain Coffee first!"

Jon Mitcham's mouth twitched, and he smiled bitterly, and could only take up the coffee, and slowly taste the fragrant blue mountain with the long boss, and the office fell into silence for a while.

The minutes passed, and about 10 minutes later, Andy put down the coffee cup, rubbed his cheeks with his hands, his face became serious, and said, "Say, what happened?"

Jon Mitcham also looked serious and lowered the coffee cup, took out a brown kraft paper bag from the briefcase, quickly opened it, and took out a stack of documents and a mini tape recorder.

As soon as Andy saw the tape recorder, his pupils shrank. Nima, the person who broke the news belonged to the person who broke the news or was directly around him. This looks like a big fish!

Jon Mitcham handed the material to Andy, and said a little indignantly: "Ou Niu Niu was vacated as the Illinois Senator of the United States after he was elected president of the United States. According to regulations, the governor of a state The right to generate new senators through appointments or special elections after the vacancy of the federal senators in the state. These materials and this recording confirm that the current governor of Illinois, Brajevic, is trying to sell and trade The seat thus seeks personal gain for himself and his wife. "

"Seller and sergeant !?"

Andy did not look at the hand piece, but asked in amazement, lying down, can this be played here?

"Yes, as soon as Okuaibu was elected, he thought his opportunity was coming, and he could hardly wait to find a" buyer ", and even called everywhere to" negotiate "with him" selling a business ". Phone calls are in this recorder. "

Jon Mitcham shook the miniature tape recorder in his hand and said very angrily: "On the phone, Brajevic did not hide the greedyness of the sales officer, and he was arrogant, swearing, and he had no shame. "

As I said, I pressed the play button and a clear voice came from the recorder.

"I got this thing, it, beep, that's great. I won't, beep, let it go for free. I won't do it. I can always use it. I can also make myself a senator."

"I will take the position of senator as my choice so that I can use it as an important bargaining chip." "No. 5 candidate" is willing to bid "$ 500,000" and pay the remaining $ 500,000 after the completion ... … Huh, of course, this is just a “political donation”. "

"I should call and ask Oprah if she's interested, no, no, who cares about her political tendency ..."

"... Yes, I want to make money."

Listening to the contents of the tape recorder, Andy's mouth turned up, and he couldn't help but sneer and sneer and ridiculed: "He was frank enough to say that he wanted to make money."

"He is a thorough zhengzhi hooligan. In addition to this sales officer, he has previously been unscrupulous in extorting bribes and extortion, including asking a director of a children's hospital for $ 50,000 in election funds in exchange for" government support ", The famous racecourse owner extorted $ 100,000 in campaign funds and "convened" when the state government considered building a racetrack.

After his wife received hundreds of thousands of dollars in commissions, bribers received millions of dollars in state government contract orders; his son also received a check for $ 1,500, given by the husband of a newly hired state employee ...

These materials are recorded in great detail, which is almost bottomless and surprising! "

Looking at some indignant Jon Mitcham, Andy just shook his head and laughed, and said, Where is this going! After knowing the general incident, Andy let go of his heart. After all, the other party was the governor of the Donkey Party, and he was overthrown. There was no psychological pressure. If it was a party member, he would think about it. After all, now the Elephant Party is completely crushed by the Donkey Party, its power is shrinking, and then let yourself topple a governor, then it really becomes the Smith family hate of the Party!

"Oh, this incident will put our new president in an extremely embarrassing situation!" Andy teased maliciously.
