American Fortune Life
Chapter 403: Shock release (three)
At a corner not far from the four blocks of the White House in Washington, D.C., stands a 60-year-old building that looks like a lattice. The overall exterior wall is tan. Two flagpoles are inserted above the main entrance of the building, hanging on both sides. The flag, one American flag, and the other the District of Columbia flag during the Civil War. This is where the Post Group headquarters are located.
Today the staff at the headquarters of the Post clearly felt that the atmosphere was different. Catherine, the vice president, took a group of group management around 9 o'clock in the lobby and waited for someone to arrive.
The lady at the front desk stood straight and her face remained the same. When she was puzzled, she saw a Cadillac wearing a long suv driving into the front square through the glass door, followed by a black Mercedes, followed by a black Mercedes. There are also four SUVs.
"Come, let's go." Catherine said to the editor of Newsweek, Jon Mitcham, and walked the door first.
"Papapa ..."
After driving the door and closing the door, the tall and handsome Andy walked out of the building's door with a smile, and Catherine stepped down the stairs to welcome him. A team of nearly twenty behind him followed.
"Hello, Miss Catherine ..."
"Hello, Mr. Smith, please ..."
The two embarrassed each other, Andy nodded to Jon, and took the person and Catherine side by side into this historic, well-known newspaper group headquarters building.
There were no disputes and noise in the conference room, some were just the sound of the staff of both parties constantly flipping the documents, and the leaders of both parties were waiting in silence with a smile.
Some of the conditions have been settled in the previous negotiation work. What they are doing now is just confirming the detailed rules and transferring some important documents. For the 115 million loan taken by the Post Group, everyone did not explore it tacitly. After all, The US $ 1 acquisition price may seem like a lot of news, but on the other hand, it is also a shame to the Post Group.
Look at the somewhat gloomy expressions of Donald Graham, the chairman of the Post Group and his sister Larry Weymouth, and the editor-in-chief of the Post, Leonard Jr., sitting in the middle. Although the burden is removed, but At the same time, as the descendants of the Graham family began to sell important assets also opened the door.
If they knew that the asset sale of Newsweek was almost a start to their family, they didn't know what they would think.
After receiving a nod from Li Xiaoying's confirmation, Arvitelli quickly checked the documents that he had just received, and then handed it to Andy, "Boss, it's all right!"
Andy didn't pick up the documents in Al's hands, and a sunny smile on his face that was more handsome than the younger version of Kenu, looking at the opposite Donald Graham said, "Mr. Graham, we can start. "
Donald Graham reached down and raised his glasses, nodding in a complicated mood.
After receiving the contract handed over by the Andy group, holding the nib of Montblanc's pen in his hand, he paused on the contract for a moment, and finally sighed and signed his name.
Andy glanced at the other side deeply, and signed his name in triplicate without hesitation.
"Thank you!"
"From today, it's yours, young man!"
The curvature of the corner of Andy's mouth sharply increased. He and Donald Graham clenched their hands tightly. After releasing, they exchanged contracts with each other. Andy drew a hand behind him.
Today, a little assistant dressed in a pale pink slim ol suit, Tori Black, hurried up and handed a brand-new one-dollar bill to the Devil. This one was all little stars in her eyes.
Donald Graham shook his head and laughed. Some helplessly took the one dollar in the hands of Andy who was very serious and straightened. He turned and raised the dollar in the hands of the Post Group everyone behind him. All of them became ugly.
Everyone knows Newsweek's losses and knows it is a big burden, but knows that you may be tired of cursing when you have it, but at this moment, when you no longer belong to them, the mood is extremely Discomfort.
Andy doesn't care what Donald Graham thinks. If it wasn't for a press conference with the Post Group, he would have left his ass.
In the Honor Showroom of the Post Group, Andy, under the introduction of Catherine, looked at a lot of sighing photos. Many of the characters in the photos were once the most powerful people in the world.
The Post spurred a president to step down; for nearly forty years, Ka Graham took control of Washington's social circles, feasting the president's prime minister at her Georgetown mansion, and dining with kings and queens of the world in the White House.
But glory only represents the past, Kay's legend will be unprecedented in Washington, because times are different.
Andy admires and respects all the successes and achievements Ms. Kay has achieved, especially with the power of a newspaper, the president has hardly won the victory, which is unimaginable.
"Bang."
"Mr. Smith, Vice President, the venue is ready, journalists from various media are in place, and the press conference can begin ..."
A staff member knocked on the door and walked in, reporting to Andy and Catherine.
Catherine nodded, and smiled at Andy: "Let's go, the stage is set up, waiting for you protagonist."
Andy smiled calmly on the face, "This is a win-win!"
At the conference venue, when the various media in Washington received the notice, they were very curious. After all, as a leading media in the Washington area, they did not report themselves and issued media invitations. This is rare.
However, keen professional intuition tells them that maybe there is really any major news to break out, maybe it is the Washington Post.
But as the people walked in from the door, their faces became clear, and the reporters were a little surprised.
Andy Smith, the youngest billionaire, has a New York Observer weekly. Is this the upstart of the publishing industry going to buy into the Post Group or acquire ...
Wait, don't make a joke, this is the Washington Post!
All kinds of suspicions made journalists instinctively excited. Without loud noise, they desperately took photos and waited for unexpected big news to emerge.
"Thank you for the arrival of your media colleagues. The main content of this press conference today is ... just an hour ago, our Post Group and Mr. Andy Smith reached an acquisition agreement. Andy Smith used one dollar to add Made an acquisition of Newsweek on the conditions that all debts were to be paid ... that is ... "
There was an uproar in the audience. All the reporters on the press table were boiling. Whoever cared about the words behind Catherine who was slightly ugly, everyone understood.
Gosh! One dollar bought Newsweek with over 70 years of history? Are you kidding me? Isn't it April Fool's Day? Is the Washington Post crazy? Kay will be ...
Various thoughts appeared in people's minds. Even though the scene became extremely chaotic, noisy, and noisy, Andy Smith always smiled confidently, sitting in the middle position, watching the liveliness of the audience .
"Quiet! Keep quiet! Let's give time to Mr. Andy Smith ..."
Everyone focused their eyes on the handsome face, with a variety of complex moods. At 22, it was too young.
"Hello everyone, I'm Andy Smith! First of all, I want to thank the Post Group for their trust and hand me the Newsweek with a long history. To be honest, at this moment, I am also very excited. After all, that ’s "Newsweek", I think every American is very clear ...
The heyday of Newsweek was a core part of the U.S. National Dialogue. Its report was "very controversial, liberal, and often half a step ahead of mainstream American opinion."
Media friends present and colleagues of Newsweek who have not met me should all know that the print media has been challenged by the new era, and Newsweek has inevitably been affected.
